This post contains a 50-minute discernment video by the late Caryl Matrisciana on The Emerging New Christianity, the Counterfeit Church.
She explains how the new age movement of the 1960’s has since been repackaged and is now being presented as the ‘New Christianity.’
Matrisciana interviewed many pastors, authors, former New Agers… to create her video series, Wide is the Gate.
Although her teaching in this video focuses on the Emergent Church, it is broadly applicable to error in the church.
There are many forms of erroneous teaching taking place presently. For example:
- Those that incorporate eastern spirituality and philosophy: such as to encourage Christian yoga and meditation; labyrinth – meditation…
- The Purpose-Driven movement
- The social gospel
- The social-justice gospel and all the anti-Bible, Marxist ideology that flows from this belief system
- The LGBTQ inclusive gospel
- The Charismatic – Word of Faith- Prosperity gospels
- The Theological Liberal gospel that excludes supernaturalism…

Video journalist, Caryl Matrisciana, author of Out of India, interviews friends, well-known authors, and experts in this bold and challenging DVD. Caryl examines the intrusion of the 60’s and 70’s New Age Movement, steeped in its pagan eastern mysticism, and traces its morphing over the last four decades—from its repackaging as the “self help” psychology and holistic health movements of the 80s, to its seeker friendly, megachurch appearance in the 90s, to its coming out in the 21st century as “the new spirituality.”
Today’s new brand of Christianity has a different gospel and is targeting the younger generation with a so-called hip, cool, experiential spirituality, much of which is embracing the mysticism of Roman Catholicism with its ecumenical philosophy of uniting people from all faiths to work together to bring about a new world of peace and harmony.
The dangerous result of this new spirituality in the church is the rise of today’s “Christianized” occultism. It is stretching its tentacles around the souls of unsuspecting youth, setting them up for the lie that subjective emotions of “power” and “experience” are “feelings” to be held higher than an objective walk in the Christian faith, based on truth found in the pure Word of God.
Learn what Scripture teaches about the times we live in, the ways in which Christians are being seduced away from biblical truth, and the methods used by the New Spirituality to usher in the counterfeit kingdom of God on earth.
