SOWING AND REAPING

 TV EVANGELISTS LIE

But Sid Roth isn’t taking any chances with the fiscal health of his ministry, so he’s added a dash of the prosperity doctrine into his cauldron of Judaeo-Christian apostasy. He writes “…no matter what happens to America, people who sow into the salvation of Jewish people will be extravagantly blessed. In the midst of judgment, watch God supernaturally protect you, your family, your income and health”  http://www.christianmediaresearch.com/sidroth.html

Fraudulent preachers and TV evangelists including Sid Roth, Richard Roberts, and Benny Hinn love to use any method to raise money and make all kinds of stupid outlandish promises which never come to pass including “sowing a financial seed for a miracle” or “sowing a financial need to get God’s wealth transfer!

But where in the bible does it say to sow a financial seed for a miracle? It doesn’t! God doesn’t do things for money but out of love and mercy, the seed is the word Mark 4:14

Oral Roberts who founded the International Charismatic Bible Ministries propagated to other ministries the idea of sowing seeds to a ministry for financial and other blessings. The board members of ICBM were:

• Oral Roberts; Chairman of ICBM; Prophet
• Kenneth Copeland; Secretary of ICBM; Prophet, Teacher, televangelist
• Charles Green; Exec. Dir of ICBM;
• Billy Daugerty; Vice Chairman of ICBM;
• Carlton Pearson; Member-at-Large of ICBM; Bishop, megachurch pastor, vacillates bet. WOF &Prophetic Movements
• John Hagee; Member of ICBM; megachurch pastor, televangelist, TBN regular
• Thomas F Reid; Member of ICBM; Latter Rain Proponent, WOF

Hence Richard Roberts who took over his dad’s ministry would write about sowing seeds against your need:
PS. The miracle-working power of our unlimited God is available for you…Today…in whatever circumstances you and your loved ones may be facing. Reach out in faith to Him, sowing seeds against your need and expecting His miracles in your life. I’ll pray with you for your needs to be met as soon as I receive your Prayer Request, so send it in as quickly as you can. ( July 2012 Partner Letter | Richard Roberts :: Oral Roberts Ministries)

Sheep are so dumb and have no discernment because anybody with brains would know that Oral Roberts who was a very good friend of the scoundrel Benny Hinn  was a deceiver and thief who deceived and stole money through the concept of seed faith which was propounded by Eugene Ewing,  often known for making his mark by setting up “scam” mailing campaigns.

Most of Oral Roberts most successful campaigns (including telling audiences “God will kill me if I don’t get 6 millions dollars”) are credited to Eugene Ewing. These mailers — similar to scam Nigerian emails you may receive today — made false claims and sly promises that (according to Trinity Foundation Investigators) were the, “cleverest financial deception of the time.” Ewing had apparently gotten his mailing lists from US census records. He is said to have specifically targeted those who marked themselves as Christian, low-education, but also had medium income. The Ghostwriter of the Prosperity Gospel? http://iamthetruthcenter.blogspot.ca/2012/03/ghostwriter-of-prosperity-gospel.html

Richard Roberts, the drunk and embezzler, who was forced to resign as President of ORU is a man devoid of integrity and cannot be trusted. He is deceived and is a deceiver. In His book “When It Seems All Hope Is Gone: Discover How to Regain Your Faith And Restore Your Life,”  Richard Roberts writes on page 114 about his encounter with the Holy Ghost Bartender, Rodney Howard Browne, another deceiver, and states that the LORD told him something that never happened ” “you’re going to laugh while I pay off your $56 million debt.”

It’s interesting that it was Richard Roberts $56 million dollar debt largely due to his thievery and it was only paid off in part after Richard resigned as President of Oral Roberts University

For the record, On October 17, 2007 Roberts asked for and was granted an indefinite leave of absence from the school by the university’s board of regents, citing the “toll” the lawsuit and attendant allegations have taken on him and his family.[21] In a statement Roberts said, “I don’t know how long this leave of absence will last… I pray and believe that in God’s timing, and when the Board feels that it is appropriate, I will be back at my post as President.”[21] Billy Joe Daugherty of Victory Christian Center was named executive regent of the board of regents and interim president.[22] Chairman of the board of regents George Pearsons noted the temporary resignation was not an admission of guilt.[22]
Note: Billy Joe Daugherty of Victory Christian Center died November 22, 2009

Roberts, has dedicated his life to ministering the saving, healing, delivering power of Jesus Christ around the world. He said that God put a dream in Roberts’s heart of reaching the nations of the earth for Jesus. Since 1980, he has ministered God’s healing power in 34 nations spanning six continents. In his miracle healing rallies, Roberts has ministered to crowds of up to 100,000 people in a single service. Often as much as 50 percent of the audience stand for prayer to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Hundreds of thousands more said they received healings and miracles as Richard ministers God’s Word and moves in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially the word of knowledge.

In a wrongful termination lawsuit filed against the university on November 21, former ORU senior accountant Trent Huddleston claimed he had been ordered to help Roberts and his wife “cook the books” by misclassifying nearly $123,000 in funds allegedly spent by the university on remodeling the Roberts home.[20]

The board of Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma passed a vote of no confidence in him after it was alleged he used college money to buy a fleet of expensive cars, keep horses, convert a study into a wardrobe for his wife’s designer clothes, employed academics to do his children’s homework and used the university jet to fly his daughter to the Caribbean.

Roberts tendered his resignation to the university’s board of regents on November 23, 2007, effective immediately. In an emailed statement he said, “I love ORU with all my heart. I love the students, faculty, staff and administration and I want to see God’s best for all of them.”[21]

United Church of Christ Bishop Carlton Pearson, a former protege of Oral Roberts, said Richard Roberts was “born into privilege… What others may call extravagance he may not see it as extravagant.” According to CNN, Pearson said he was disappointed but not surprised by the allegations, explaining, “These kinds of things are common among family-owned and operated businesses and ministries. They don’t cross every T and dot every I.”[13]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Roberts_(evangelist)

Roberts: Lord said don’t fight it
By BILL SHERMAN World Religion Writer – 5/30/2010

Richard Roberts broke a 2 1/2-year silence this week to defend his wife’s honor.

A lawsuit filed against Roberts in the tumultuous period before he resigned as president of Oral Roberts University in late 2007 implied that Lindsay Roberts had an affair with a teenager later identified as her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. Media nationwide published the allegation.

“This is the first time I’ve ever spoken out on it. Maybe it’s time,” the 61-year-old televangelist said Tuesday in a wide-ranging 90-minute interview in which he discussed his departure from ORU, the loss of his father and his flourishing Tulsa-based healing ministry.

“My wife was accused on the front page of the paper of a horrible thing. Not a word of it was true,” he said. “People rushed from everywhere to defend her, but that never made the media.”

“I can’t think of anything more despicable to accuse a woman of. It hurt my wife, it hurt me, and it hurt my children very badly to have someone say that about an honorable woman to whom I’ve been married for 30 years and who has been faithful all of her life.

“The Lord said, ‘I want you to resign, and not defend yourself. If you’ll resign, I’ll send someone in to pay off the (ORU) debt,’ ” he said.

“Well, I resigned, and (a few) days later they came in and paid off the debt.”

The Mart Green family of Oklahoma City, founders of Hobby Lobby and Mardel, donated $70 million to the university at that time and have made additional donations.

Roberts said the crisis hurt him and his family deeply, but “I held on to my faith, and I held on to my family.” His wife and their three daughters now all work with him in the ministry.

With the weight of ORU off his shoulders and a prospering healing ministry, Roberts appeared relaxed as he talked in his spacious, well-appointed office in the former Tulsa Scottish Rite Center at 6355 E. Skelly Drive.

Only one piece of furniture in the office appeared out of place, a small, plain wooden desk used by his father, Oral Roberts, early in his ministry.

Roberts said he did not regret his nearly 15 years as president of ORU but had accepted the job reluctantly.

“I didn’t ask to be president of the university,” he said. “I said yes because my father asked me to.” Four other men had turned down the post, he said.

ORU was $60 million in debt when he took over, a burden he says no one can fully appreciate.

“Very few people know what we went through to keep the doors open. We stayed on our faces in prayer but we never missed a payroll, and we never missed paying a bill.”

He described universities as black holes of financial demand.

In retrospect, he would have done some things differently, including stepping down two years earlier, he said.

“I’m glad I’m no longer president. I wanted to resign earlier, but I was afraid it would hurt my father.”

He said he is happy that the Green family bailed out the university and that Mark Rutland is the new president.

“He and I talk frequently,” Roberts said.

Does he miss anything about his ORU days?

“I miss seeing those young freshman on campus, eyes wide, about to step into a new world.”

Roberts said the demands of the university took time from his true calling, preaching the gospel and praying for the sick.

“It’s very difficult to ride two horses at the same time.”

After his resignation, ORU was separated from the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association ministry.

The ministry, headed by Roberts, relocated to the large, three-story building on Skelly Drive. The building houses the offices, television studio, prayer center, mail processing center and a 650-seat auditorium. The Roberts family moved off campus into a home in Tulsa.

Roberts said the ministry is prospering.

He and Lindsay tape a show every morning that airs at night. She does a live women’s show every afternoon, “Make Your Day Count.” The ministry receives 3,000 phone calls a day.

The couple’s oldest daughter, Jordan, heads the ministry’s “Hunger Needs a Voice” program that has sent $3.2 million in food to Africa, Haiti and Central America since 2008. They also are building a school in Nigeria.

Roberts travels widely conducting healing crusades. More than 200,000 people attended the last night of his January crusade in Kenya. Four African presidents have invited him to do crusades in their nations. He has more invitations to speak than he can accommodate.

He has just completed a new book, “He’s a Healing Jesus.”

At 7 p.m. Friday, he will hold the first of what will be a monthly healing service in the ministry’s auditorium, where he will lay hands on the sick. He announced the meeting on television, and it already is packed, he said. Overflow rooms are being prepared.

On June 8, Roberts will begin a new Trinity Broadcasting Network program that will appear two or three times a week on its Church Channel featuring his healing ministry and vintage footage of Oral Roberts’ healing ministry.

Richard Roberts said life for him is better after leaving ORU. He has more time for his family; his health is perfect.

“I’m happy,” he said. “I’m happy I’m alive. I’m happy I’m serving God. I’m happy about his calling on my life.”

THE BIG MISTAKE

RAVENOUS WOLVES MEETING WITH EACH OTHER (MATT. 7: 15)!

Evangelical charismatics = NO DISCERNMENT. They lean on their own understanding, extra biblical “dreams, visions and “words of knowledge” instead of Sola Scriptura – Scripture alone — Well look at them now >>> The names of the delegates in the photograph (Left to Right) are: Carol Arnott, John Arnott (Partners in Harvest), Brian Stiller (World Evangelical Alliance), Kenneth Copeland (KCM), Pope Francis, Thomas Schirrmacher (WEA), Geoff Tunnicliffe (WEA), James & Betty Robison (Life Outreach International) and Tony Palmer (The Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches & The Order of the Ark Community).

The big mistake that is being made is that these people are not “Charismatic Christians” but rather they are “false Charismatic Evangelical Christians”. It is a dis-service to the Holy Spirit to call them “Charismatic” because they have counterfeit/false gifts which do not come from the Holy Spirit: false prophecy, false tongues, false everything (Matt. 24: 24; Mk. 13: 22). Their false works tell us clearly that they “have received the mark of the beast” (Rev. 19: 20). They are not of the fellowship of Jesus Christ as you can see them standing together with the pope. I guess the best thing we can say about them is that they are today’s Scribes and Pharisees of whom, as Jesus said, “You are wrong because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God” (Matt. 22: 29).

Jesus publically rebuked Pharisees and even called them names. (Go reread the gospels).

Many mistakenly believe that it is wrong to expose error and to name the guilty teachers; but they are wrong according to the Bible. They warned by letter and by Mouth those to shun and to avoid.
Paul named Peter publicly.
Paul named Demas for loving the world.
Paul named Hymenaeus and Alexander.
Paul named Hymenaeus and Philetus.
Paul named Alexander the coppersmith.
John named Diotrephes

What kind of love lets wolves like these men decimate the flock of God. If you were about to drink deadly poison, would it be love for me to stand by and not warn you?

The Pope teaches another gospel and another Jesus and worships, prays to and bows down to Mary. He is an idol worshipper. What fellowship has light with darkness?

The Bible Admonishes us to expose error, not join in with it and condone it.

Eph 5:11 “Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them”

“Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. ” 2 Tim 4:2-3

“A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;” Titus 3:10

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.” 1 Cor 5:11-13

“Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.” 2 Thess 3:6

From False Prophet to Pope’s Profit

B. Michael Bigg

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? — Mark 8:36

On the 21 st of January this year (2014) during his organisation’s annual “Minister’s Conference”, Kenneth Copeland, his “ministry”, and attendees received a personal video message from Pope Francis. Kenneth Copeland Ministries’ YouTube channel says, concerning the message, that everyone was “greatly inspired”[1] by it.

What was everyone inspired about? That Pope Francis called the protestant reformation the sin of disunity[2] and that he is looking forward to protestant’s repenting and coming back into the fold? Pope Francis didn’t make that statement in exactly those words, but this is what it boils down to, what it always boils down to with the Roman Catholic Church.

The Roman Catholic Church has always believed, and still believes, that it is the doorway to God and heaven, that the Pope is the Head of the Church, and that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ (rather than the Holy Spirit). Has the Roman Catholic Church repented of its doctrine of transubstantiation (i.e. bread and wine turning into the body and blood of Christ during the Mass)? No. Has the Roman Catholic Church repented of its heretical doctrine of purgatory (atoning in purgatory for your own sins, rather than Christ alone atoning for your sins)? No. … and then there is a host of other heretical, if not blasphemous teachings for which the Roman Catholic Church and their Pontiffs are responsible and of which they have never repented.

What did the reformers die for? Nothing according to the Pope, and apparently Kenneth Copeland agrees with him. The reformers said, “NO!” to the Popes of their day, “NO!” to the Roman Catholic Church, and “YES!” to God and His Word. The Reformation came about through the reading of the Bible (as opposed to it being hidden by being read in Latin when the common folk did not understand it). The Roman Catholic Church has always tried to hide, shroud and conceal the Word of God – Kenneth Copeland has merely joined their ranks.

Kenneth Copeland has gone from being a popular False Prophet, to being profitable for the counter-reformation movement of Rome. All this does is to further confirm that Kenneth Copeland is not only a false prophet, but a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A true prophet hears from and speaks the Word of God, which does not contradict Scripture. Where is spirit-led-Copeland headed? To the city on seven hills, to Rome, to the Vatican, to Spiritual Babylon.

And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. — Revelation 17:3-6

Peter, in his first epistle (1 Peter 5:13), euphemistically called Rome (where he was at the time) Babylon. Peter knew it, the first-century Christians knew it, the reformers knew it, but the Profit Copeland doesn’t, or he doesn’t care.

There is more to say regarding Kenneth Copeland, Charismatics, Emergents and the Road to Rome … but we will bring you more in a future edition of CETF.

[2] Pope Francis’ message is irenic, and regarding Roman Catholic and Protestant disunity he said, “…it’s sin that has separated us, all our sins. The misunderstandings throughout history. It has been a long road of sins that we all shared in. Who is to blame? We all share the blame. We have all sinned. There is only one blameless, the Lord.” But, one must remember that many of the Protestant Reformers at the outset of the Reformation were ex-Roman Catholic priests. There was no “misunderstanding”; they knew full well what Rome taught and knew how Catholic doctrine and dogma corrupted the Word of God. And Rome knew full well why the Reformers left – and that is why Pope after Pope has pronounced anathemas against Protestants. All that is happening now is that the Devil is trying a different tact.

Heresy Preacher Priest Tony Palmer Dead After Urging Christians To Unite With Rome

NTEB News Desk | July 21, 2014 | 4 Comments

God appears to have relieved Tony Palmer of his command

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

Just months after Anglican priest and personal friend to Pope Francis Tony Palmer gave  a rousing performance urging Christians to place themselves under the authority of the Roman Catholic system, he appears to have died suddenly in a motorcycle accident.

Tony Palmer had said that he was a “prophet in the spirit of Elijah”, and that his mission was to unite the Christian evangelical church with the Roman Catholic system. He declared “Martin Luther’s protest to be over”, and said that it was time for “Christians to come home to Rome”.  Tony’s deluded vision of seeing Christians “coming home to Rome” will also die with him.

“Tony Palmer, the charismatic young preacher who enjoyed a friendship with Pope Francis, has apparently died in a motorcycle accident,” Kathy Schiffer reported on her Seasons of Grace blog. “Not a Catholic, Palmer was bishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, a group that broke away from the Anglican Church and considered itself part of the Convergence Movement.”

SO WHEN IS THE POPE GOING TO GIVE AWAY THE WEALTH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO FEED AND CLOTHE THE POOR?

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

Why Did Copeland, Robison Meet With Pope Francis?

8:00AM EDT 7/7/2014 Rick Wiles
Pope Francis with evangelicals (Life Outreach)

Two prominent Fort Worth-based Christian ministers led a delegation of Evangelical Christian leaders to Rome to meet privately with Pope Francis.

James and Betty Robison, co-hosts of the Life Today television program, and Kenneth Copeland, co-host of Believer’s Voice of Victory, met the Roman Pontiff at the Vatican on Tuesday.  The meeting lasted almost three hours and included a private luncheon with Pope Francis.

Mr. Robison told the Fort Worth Star Telegram, “This meeting was a miracle…. This is something God has done. God wants his arms around the world. And he wants Christians to put his arms around the world by working together.”

Mr. Robison said he was impressed by Pope Francis’ humility and courtesy to the visiting delegation of Evangelical Protestant Christian leaders.

In a written statement, Mr. Robison said he believes “the prayers of earnest Christians helped lead to the choice of Pope Francis.”  He described Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentine Archbishop chosen as Pope, as “a humble man…filled with such love for the poor, downtrodden…”

In addition to Mrs. Betty Robison, the high-profile Protestant delegation included Kenneth Copeland, co-founder of Kenneth Copeland Ministries in Newark, TX; Reverend Geoff Tunnicliff, CEO of the World Evangelical Alliance; Rev. Brian Stiller and Rev. Thomas Schirrmacher, also from the World Evangelical Alliance; and Rev. John Arnott and his wife, Carol, co-founders of Partners for Harvest ministries in Toronto, Canada.  Gloria Copeland did not travel to Rome because of a previously scheduled commitment.

The ecumenical meeting in Rome was organized by Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer.  Rev. Palmer is an ordained bishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, a break-away alliance of charismatic Anglican-Episcopal churches.  Bishop Palmer is also the Director of The Ark Community, an international interdenominational Convergent Church online community, and is a member of the Roman Catholic Ecumenical Delegation for Christian Unity and Reconciliation.

Bishop Palmer developed a friendship with Pope Francis when the future Roman Pontiff was a Catholic official in Argentina.  Prior to becoming a CEEC bishop, Rev. Palmer was the director of the Kenneth Copeland Ministries’ office in South Africa.  He is married to an Italian Roman Catholic woman.  He later moved to Italy and began working to reconcile Roman Catholics and Protestants.  Kenneth Copeland Ministries was one of Mr. Palmer’s first financial contributors over 10 years ago in support of his ecumenical work in Italy.

Earlier this year, Pope Francis called Bishop Palmer to invite him to his residence in Vatican City.  During the meeting, Bishop Palmer suggested that the Pope record a personal greeting on Mr. Palmer’s iPhone to be delivered to Kenneth Copeland.  Mr. Copeland showed the Papal video greeting to a conference of Protestant ministers who were meeting at Mr. Copeland’s Eagle Mountain International Church near Fort Worth, Texas.  In the video, Pope Francis expressed his desire for Christian unity with Protestants.

Later, James Robison telecasted the video on his daily TV program, Life Today.  “The pope, in the video, expressed a desire for Protestants and Catholics to become what Jesus prayed for — that Christians would become family and not be divided,” Mr. Robison said the response to the video was very positive, and that Pope Francis asked Bishop Palmer whether a meeting could be arranged with Evangelical Protestants seeking Christian unity in the world.

In his written statement released after the Papal meeting, Mr. Robison said he was “blessed to be part of perhaps an unprecedented moment between evangelicals and the Catholic Pope.”  He described the Protestant delegation’s private meeting with the leader of the Roman Catholic Church as “an intimate circle of prayerful discussion and lunch to discuss not only seeing Jesus’ prayer answered, but that every believer would become a bold, joy-filled witnesses for Christ.

In describing the ecumenical gathering as a miracle, Mr. Robison said, “This is something God has done. God wants his arms around the world. And he wants Christians to put his arms around the world by working together.”

During the luncheon on Tuesday, Mr. Robison got a high-five from Pope Francis after the Pope and Protestant guests talked about the need for all people to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  According to the Life Today host, the Roman Pontiff did not know what a high-five was until Bishop Palmer explained it to him in Italian.  Mr. Robison said, “The Pope made it very clear that he wanted every believer to become Spirit-filled, joy-filled witnesses.”

Mr. Robison said Pope Francis had written recently, “Too many Catholics look like they’ve been to Lent with no Easter. It’s a mistake for them to look like they’ve been to a funeral” as he challenged Catholics to witness and never try to control the Holy Spirit, but yield to Him.

Mr. Robison said he received a divine call from God to seek Christian unity while he was hospitalized several years ago with a serious staph infection following hip surgery.  Robison recalled, “[I] was so weak I could not lift a cup of water to my lips…God got my full attention…He spoke to me through Isaiah 58:6-12 and I saw the importance of living in freedom, touching the suffering, the hungry, poor, and downtrodden. I recognized the promise that our prayers would be answered quickly and we would become a free-flowing stream and a well-watered garden, restoring the foundations upon which we must build. During that time God instructed me to focus my attention on Jesus’ prayer and encouraging others to begin fulfilling it through us in our day.”

During that time, he said, he was impressed by a prayer of Jesus in John 17:21, pleading that all Christian believers be one.  “We’ve tried to focus on being an answer to Jesus’ prayer,” Robison said. “We want to see Jesus’ prayer for unity answered in our day.”

Aware that the meeting with the Pope will be troublesome among staunch Protestants, Mr. Robison said he and the other visiting Evangelical Christian leaders talked about diversity and their belief that Roman Catholics and Protestants could work together without compromising their beliefs.

“The world is suffering,” said Robison. “We as Christians have too much love to share without fighting one another.”

Mr. Robison said he and other “respected Evangelical leaders and Spirit-filled Catholics began meeting together to pray for God’s will to be done and to bring true believers together in supernatural unity….We have been commanded to love God with all of our heart and our neighbors as ourselves. The enemy has kept many Christians from loving one another as Christ loves us and have failed to recognize the importance of supernatural unity even with all of the unique diversity.”

Mr. Robison, whose ministry digs water wells and supplies food for impoverished people in third-world nations, recounted that he was christened as a fatherless boy in an Episcopal Church.  As an adult, he joined the Southern Baptist Church.  In the 1980s, he became one of the first prominent Southern Baptist ministers to openly proclaim he had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Pope Francis Meets With Kenneth Copeland, James Robison – High Fives Ensue

9:00AM EDT 7/10/2014 Sarah Pulliam Bailey

Televangelists including Kenneth Copeland and James Robison met with Pope Francis, resulting in the first ever papal “high-five.” (LIFE Outreach International, Kenneth Copeland Ministries)

What does it take to produce the first-ever papal high-five? A meeting with American televangelists, apparently.

The gesture came during a three-hour meeting of Pope Francis and Texas televangelists Kenneth Copeland and James Robison, just weeks after the pontiff met with televangelist Joel Osteen and other religious leaders. At the June 24 meeting, Robison said he was so moved by Pope Francis’ message of the gospel that he asked the translator to ask Francis for a high-five. The pope obliged, raised his arm and the two men smacked hands.

The televangelists are among some wealthier U.S. evangelicals who have recently met with Francis, who has called for a focus on the poor and a simple lifestyle for clergy. In March, the pope met with members of the Green family, the Oklahoma billionaires whose company, Hobby Lobby, won their challenge to President Obama’s contraception coverage mandate at the Supreme Court last week.

Robison said he was born into the Episcopal Church but didn’t have a “born-again” conversion until later in life, the kind of story he sees among many Protestants and Catholics. “There are a lot of evangelicals and Catholics who don’t know Christ,” he said.

In fact, Francis’ meeting may reflect a shift in emphasis within the papacy. His predecessor, Benedict XVI, regularly bemoaned the decline of Christianity in his native Germany and across Europe. In contrast, the Argentine Francis comes from a region where competition from Pentecostalism is one of the biggest challenges facing the Catholic Church, Peppard said.

As unusual as it might seem for a pope meet with celebrity Protestant preachers, the potential awkwardness goes both ways. While some praised Robison for going to Rome, others said Protestants and Catholics have too many differences, on issues that include the role of the Bible, saints, the status of the Virgin Mary and the nature of salvation. “Very disappointed in you James and Betty. Never forget the Inquisition — Never forget!” one commenter wrote on Robison’s website.

But Robison said he and Francis found common ground in caring for the poor.

“I don’t see him as presenting himself as infallible,” Robison said of Pope Francis. “He’s been to confession. He asks for prayer. He’s anxious to apologize on (behalf) of Catholic leadership.”

Osteen’s meeting with Francis on June 4 was part of a larger gathering coordinated by the International Foundation, also known as “the Fellowship.” Osteen was joined by Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a Mormon; California pastor Tim Timmons; and Gayle D. Beebe, president of evangelical Westmont College.

The June 24 meeting leaned particularly toward charismatic Christianity. Other guests were Anthony Palmer, a bishop and international ecumenical officer with the independent Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches; Geoff Tunnicliffe, the outgoing head of the Worldwide Evangelical Alliance; and John and Carol Arnott of Catch the Fire Toronto, which grew out of a Pentecostal revival 20 years ago.

The pope met with more than 50,000 Catholic charismatics in Rome last month, admitting he was not always comfortable with the way they prayed. Still, he knelt on stage as they prayed for him and spoke in tongues. “Where does division come from? The devil!” Francis told them. “Division comes from the devil. Flee from internal struggles, please!”

Pentecostal and charismatic Christians  – charismatics are often Pentecostals in other churches, including the Catholic Church — share much in common, such as speaking in tongues and healing. Together, they make up at least 584 million people in the world, about 9 percent of the global population and one in four Christians worldwide, according to the Pew Research Center.

And that’s probably partly why Francis extended the invitation to the U.S. pastors. The Rev. Wesley Granberg-Michaelson, a veteran of Catholic-Protestant ecumenical groups and the author of “From Times Square to Timbuktu: The Post-Christian West Meets the Non-Western Church,” said Pentecostalism is growing in the Global South at three times the rate of Catholic growth, especially among the poor.

“My guess is that Francis knows this community can’t be ignored,” Granberg-Michaelson said. “Certainly, Francis would want to encourage Catholic charismatics to feel at home, as well as build ecumenical relationships with the Pentecostal community — and those reinforce one another. That’s also why what he is doing is both ecumenically creative, and makes sense.”

A flawed “theology of suffering.

CATHOLICS ARE NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS AS THEY TEACH LIES. ” In Mother Teresa’s words: “The most beautiful gift for a person is that he can participate in the sufferings of Christ.” Therefore, the Catholic who suffers the most is closest to Christ. When you remove suffering, you remove Christ. Instead of minimizing their suffering, Mother Teresa ensured it. Alleviating suffering, let alone eliminating it, was out of the question. Seen from this perspective, her behavior toward her patients makes sense.

Instead of curing them, Mother Teresa gave the bare minimum of treatment, resulting in suffering for most and death for some. She gave insufficient or outdated medicine, reused old syringes, and gave cold baths to all patients, even those who could find comfort in a warm one. She’d refuse to install elevators for the disabled, even when the city government offered to pay for it. Instead of hiring competent doctors, she’d rely on incompetent volunteers because she believed strongly that ignorance was more valuable than expertise (Livemore 93, 156).

Instead of being true hospitals or hospices, the establishments run by Mother Teresa were more like prisons at best: The patients, if they were well enough to escape, probably would. At worst, they were torture chambers. She’d refuse to give painkillers even to dying patients who were suffering unbearable pain. Instead of using painkillers, she’d comfort patients by saying, “You are suffering, that means Jesus is kissing you.” One poor patient replied, “Then tell your Jesus to stop kissing me.”

Holy Hypocrite

What makes all this worse is the fact that Mother Teresa had the resources to make things better. Estimates of donations reach the millions — even billions — of dollars. Unfortunately, we can never be sure. In the same way that Mother Teresa’s atrocities remain a secret, Missionaries of Charity remains the only charitable organization in India that refuses to reveal how much money they have and how they spend it:

Mother Teresa: Blessed Billionaire, Holy Hypocrite

Mother Teresa did believe that the sufferings of her patients was meritorious for their eventual release from Purgatory. Back in 1996 Dave Hunt addressed the fraudulent claims about Mother Teresa. http://www.thebereancall.org/content/october-1996-q-and-a-1

THE THEOLOGY OF SUFFERING AND POVERTY THAT IS EVEN ESPOUSED AND PROPAGATED ALSO BY MANY EVANGELICALS IS FROM HELL

15    “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
16    So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
17    Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked —
18    I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19    As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20    Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
21    To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22    “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ‘ ”

OFF THE WALL

6 Really Bad Charismatic Doctrines We Should Retire                       

10:00AM EDT 5/7/2014    J. Lee Grady                                

I will never apologize for being a charismatic Christian. I had a dramatic experience with the Holy Spirit many years ago, and nobody can talk me out of it. I love the Holy Spirit’s abiding presence in my life and His supernatural gifts. I love to prophesy, speak in tongues, pray for the sick and see people changed by the Spirit’s power.

At the same time, I’m aware that since the charismatic movement began in the 1960s, people have misused the gifts of the Spirit and twisted God’s Word to promote strange doctrines or practices. Seeing these errors never caused me to question the authenticity of what the Holy Spirit had done in my life. But I knew I had to stay true to God’s Word and reject any false teachings I encountered.

My simple rule is based on 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22: “But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil” (NASB). In other words: Eat the meat and spit out the bones.

As I have traveled throughout the body of Christ in recent years, I’ve experienced the good, the bad and the ugly. I love God’s people, and I know there is a healthy remnant of Spirit-filled churches that are striving to stay grounded in biblical truth. But I also know we have reached a crossroads. We must clean up our act. We must jettison any weird doctrines we might have believed or practiced that are hindering our growth today.

Here are a few of the worst errors that have circulated in our movement in the past season. You may have others that need to be added to this list. I believe we are grieving the Holy Spirit if we continue to practice these things:

1. “Touch not My anointed.” Chances are you’ve heard this weird doctrine based on 1 Chronicles 16:22. In an attempt to discourage any form of disagreement in the church, insecure leaders tell their members that if they ever question church authority, they are “touching the Lord’s anointed” and in danger of God’s judgment. Let’s call this what it is: spiritual manipulation. It creates worse problems by ruling out healthy discussion and mutual respect. Church members end up being abused or controlled—or even blacklisted because they dare to ask a question.

2. Dual covenant. We charismatics love and respect Israel. Some of us even incorporate Jewish practices in our worship—such as wearing prayer shawls, blowing shofars or celebrating Hebraic feasts. These things can enrich our Christian experience—but some leaders go too far when they begin to teach that Jews don’t need to believe in Jesus Christ to experience salvation. They imply that Jews have special access into heaven simply because of their ethnic heritage. This is a flagrant contradiction of everything the New Testament teaches.

3. Inaccessible leadership. In the 1980s, some charismatic ministries began to teach pastors and traveling ministers that in order to “protect the anointing,” they must stay aloof from people. Ministers were warned to never make friends in their congregations. Preachers began the strange practice of skipping worship on Sunday mornings—and then appearing on the stage only when it was time for the sermon in order to make a dramatic entrance. Shame on these people for attempting to justify arrogance. Jesus loved people, and He made Himself available to them. So should we.

4. Armor-bearers. The same guys who developed item No. 3 started this strange fad. Preachers began the practice of surrounding themselves with an entourage: one person to carry the briefcase, another person to carry the Bible, another to carry the handkerchief. Some preachers hired bodyguards … and even food-tasters! The armor-bearers were promised special blessings if they served preachers who acted like slave-owners. Reminder: True leaders are servants, not egomaniacs.

5. The hundredfold return. Before his death in 2003, Kenneth Hagin Sr., the father of the faith movement, rebuked his own followers for taking prosperity teaching to a silly extreme. In his book The Midas Touch, he begged preachers to stop misusing Mark 10:28-30 to suggest that God promises a hundredfold return on every offering we give. Hagin wrote, “If the hundredfold return worked literally and mathematically for everyone who gave in an offering, we would have Christians walking around with not billions or trillions of dollars, but quadrillions of dollars!” Hagin taught that the hundredfold blessing refers to the rewards that come to those who leave all they have to serve God in ministry.

6. Money cometh. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for giving money publicly to be seen by others. Yet in the 1990s, some charismatics got the wild idea that God would release a magical blessing if we would drop wads of dollar bills at the preacher’s feet while he was in the middle of his sermon. Leroy Thompson of Louisiana popularized this flamboyant practice with his infamous 1996 sermon, in which he encouraged people to shout in King James English, “Money! Cometh to me now!” Then the people would run to the front of the auditorium to pour cash into his coffers. The money came, for sure, and more cash-hungry preachers jumped on the bandwagon. Taking an offering became a form of exhibitionism, and Christians began viewing their offerings like lottery scratch-offs.

God requires holiness not just in our behavior but also in our doctrine. Let’s discard these and any other foolish teachings that have brought confusion and dishonor to the body of Christ.

CHARISMA DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO PRINT THE TRUTH AND ALL THE TRUTH ABOUT ITS FRIENDS INCLUDING MIKE BICKLE AND HIS IHOP

YEAR IN REVIEW: Mike Bickle: What’s Wrong With Grace?

3:00PM EDT 4/2/2013 Mike Bickle

    Mike Bickle explains how the grace of God has been distorted. (istockphoto.com/Amphotora Golfladi)

Editor’s Note: 2013 was a big year in the church—and in the world. This week we’re looking at some of the biggest stories of the year, selected based on feedback from our readers. Thanks for reading Charisma News this year and stay tuned as we continue expanding our coverage in 2014 to include more spiritual insights on the stories that matter most to you.

The most powerful, significant and liberating message ever given to the human race is the gospel of grace. The Christian life is established on the foundation of this wonderful truth, which emphasizes what Christ did for us on the cross and what the Holy Spirit does in us in our daily life. Paul’s dramatic declaration that we have become new creations in Christ has vast implications for our lives: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away … all things have become new … that we [our spirit] might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:17-21).

The “he” that is a new creation is our spirit man. We possess the very righteousness of God in our spirit (v. 21). This describes our new legal position in Christ—how God sees and relates to us. In Christ, all things have become new pertaining to our spirit. This includes being fully accepted by God, receiving the authority to use the name of Jesus and possessing the indwelling Holy Spirit—all of which enable us to resist sin, sickness and Satan; to walk in victory; and to release the works of God through prayer. The old things that passed away under this legal shift include no longer being under the penalty of sin nor being dominated by the power of sin.

So what’s the problem if we’ve been given such freedom as new creations? Unfortunately, man’s natural tendency to distort truth gets in the way. And when it comes to a truth as fundamental and crucial as grace, that distortion has far-reaching implications. In short, it can become the central crisis of an entire generation.

The Crisis of Our Time

The apostle Jude confronted the great spiritual crisis of his day when he exhorted believers to contend earnestly for the “faith” or for the message of grace originally delivered to them through the first apostles. In Jude 3-4, he writes: “I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed … ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness.”

Think about this: Within one generation after Jesus’ resurrection, it was already necessary to contend for the true grace message. That’s how key this battle over the true grace message is and always has been since Jesus’ definitive work on the cross.

Jude warned of certain men who crept into the fellowship of the church unnoticed—that is, their error went unnoticed by most of the leaders and the people. These men turned the message of grace into a message of lewdness or one that affirmed various compromises, even sexual immorality. These men with persuasive teaching abilities twisted what the Bible said about grace, thus empowering many to confidently continue in sinful activities without feeling any urgency to repent.

Undoubtedly, these teachers of error appeared outwardly to live godly, but in their private lives they refused to repent of various lusts. Instead, they justified their ungodly habits by distorting the message of grace to accommodate their lifestyles.

The result was devastating, as many in the church concluded that it was acceptable for them also to live with similar compromises because these popular teachers were justifying this sort of lifestyle with various Bible verses. In reality, they took these verses out of context of the broader New Testament message, which called believers to live in wholehearted love for Jesus as evidenced by seeking to live in obedience to Him (John 14:15, 21).

The same is true with hyper-grace teachers today. They choose to emphasize only God’s love and forgiveness while practically ignoring Jesus’ call for His people to walk in wholehearted commitment to the Lord. They preach mostly on forgiveness without repentance and on receiving God’s blessing on their circumstances without any conditions. The truth is, it’s glorious that we are freely forgiven by Jesus and that He blesses our circumstances; but these truths are in context to seeking to live in a real relationship with Him and in agreement with His leadership and Word.

Jude’s exhortation is a significant warning for the body of Christ today. When the grace message is distorted, everything else in one’s spiritual life becomes blurred. In fact, there is no spiritual battle more significant in the church today than contending to keep the grace message faithful to Scripture.

Sadly, some believers aren’t even aware of this spiritual crisis regarding a diluted grace message. They must wake up to the emergency at hand—because today, as we contend for the spirit of truth, we are fighting for the very soul of a generation.

It’s easier in today’s world for teachers to creep in unnoticed, as Jude said, because of television and the Internet. Some contemporary teachers distorting the message of grace come from high-profile ministries whose very popularity gives them a false sense of credibility. We must not receive a ministry because it’s attractive and popular; we should only receive it if it’s faithful to the truth.

Paul prophesied of a time when many who profess loyalty to Jesus would fall to unsound doctrine: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (2 Tim. 4:3-4).

These people aren’t willing to embrace the challenges of a lifestyle of obedience to Jesus as emphasized by the sound teaching in the New Testament. Instead, they have “itching ears” to hear messages that affirm their sinful desires. They want to feel comfortable in their relationship with God, even as they continue to boldly walk out their sinful lusts.

By isolating Bible verses about God’s blessing and forgiveness from the larger context of the New Testament’s call to love Jesus with obedience, they affirm the lustful desires of their hearers. One famous TV preacher went so far to say that there is no longer a need for a believer to repent because Jesus’ work on the cross did that for them. He obviously overlooked the fact that Jesus repeatedly called born-again believers to repent for yielding to various compromises (see Rev. 2:5, 16, 21-22; 3:3, 19).

Grace: The Power to Love and Obey Jesus

If countless sincere believers have already succumbed to the rising tide of this distorted grace message, how can we stand strong through the crisis? It starts by remaining grounded in biblical truth. We must approach the biblical grace message through the lens of God calling us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30).

The Lord wants us to love Him in a wholehearted way because that’s how He loves us—with all of His heart, mind and strength. This mutual relationship of wholehearted love between a believer and the Lord is foundational to the kingdom. In fact, this is the very way that the Father loves the Son—with all of His heart. The Son loves the Father and the Spirit loves the Father and Son in this way too. Oh, the glorious mystery of one God in three persons who delight in Their relationship of wholehearted love for each other (see John 3:35; 5:20; 14:31; 15:9; 17:23, 26)! God’s plan from the foundation of the earth was to redeem people so that they could participate in this loving fellowship that the three persons of the Trinity enjoy.

The core reality of the grace message is to empower us to walk with God in a relationship of wholehearted love. Jesus called this “the first commandment” (Mark 12:30). Thus, the Holy Spirit’s first agenda is to establish the first commandment in first place in the church. This must also be our first agenda. Wholehearted love is to be “first” in our response to God because it is how the Father relates to the Son and how the Godhead relates to us. We must see grace through the lens of this quality of love. To think of grace without it being anchored in the first commandment is to be aiming at the wrong target. Thus, we distort the grace message when we do not interpret it through the lens of the first commandment. We must love Jesus on His terms, and He defined loving God in terms of a spirit of obedience to His commandments (see John 14:15, 21, 23).

There’s no such thing as loving Jesus without seeking to obey His Word. Some seek to love God on the terms of a humanistic culture that has no reference to obeying the Word. But loving and seeking to obey Jesus are synonymous. All of His commands are based in His love. Thus, the biblical message of grace teaches us to live righteously and to deny ungodliness as the way of expressing our love to God. Titus 2:11-12 says, “The grace of God … has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly.”

If you hear a teaching on grace that doesn’t call you to deny ungodliness, it’s not a biblical grace message—it’s a distorted one.

Legal Position vs. Living Condition

As we correctly view the grace message through the lens of the first commandment, we can also begin to understand the difference between our legal position before God and our ongoing living condition as a response to what Jesus has done. Not only is there a key difference between these two, it’s often the element that hyper-grace adherents conveniently overlook.

Our legal position is what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross, while our living condition is what Jesus requires of us in our response to Him. In our legal position, we stand before God by possessing His righteousness (2 Cor. 5:21). Our legal standing before God is so glorious that it will never be improved upon—not even with the perfection of a resurrected body—because we received Christ’s very own righteousness. Our legal position relates to receiving His righteousness instantly on the day that we are born again.

Our living condition, on the other hand, relates to growing in righteousness progressively as our mind is renewed, causing our behavior and emotions to be transformed by the Holy Spirit in us.

The gospel is the good news about receiving God’s righteousness and can be seen in three tenses:

Justification: our legal position—past tense, focused on our spirit

Sanctification: our living condition—present tense, focused on our soul

Glorification: our eternal exaltation—future tense, focused on our body

One-third of our salvation is complete (the salvation of our spirit), but the other two parts are not yet complete in our experience (the salvation of our soul and body). All believers have received the fullness of grace in their spirit (legal position), and yet they can still live far below it in their daily experience (living condition).

Much misunderstanding about grace can be traced to misunderstanding the distinctions of these truths. Many confuse what Jesus did for us in our legal position with what He requires of us in our response to Him in our living condition.

Jesus’ finished work on the cross makes His grace fully available to us as a gift. However, our regular interaction with the Spirit causes us to experience the transforming power of this grace in our daily life. James wrote about this when he urged believers to walk in a greater measure of grace because God “gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6).

James wrote this to born-again believers, calling them to receive more grace. A believer already has the gift of righteousness and therefore can’t receive “more grace” in his or her legal position. However, each of us can receive “more grace” in our living condition—and this is what James was referring to. We can always experience more of God’s grace to transform and renew our mind and emotions (see Rom. 12:2).

Grace in the Eight Beatitudes

If we hope to experience more of this transforming grace on a daily basis, then we must follow the words of the greatest teacher on grace who ever walked the earth: Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5-7) is His most comprehensive statement about a believer’s role in cooperating with God’s grace. In this teaching, Jesus defined loving God in context to the eight beatitudes (5:3-10), offering us a rich understanding of how to walk out biblical grace in our daily lives.

One aspect of this is Jesus’ exhortation to us to hunger for more of God’s righteousness (v. 6). Here, Jesus affirmed the need to press into God for a greater release of righteousness in our daily lives—our living condition. Keep in mind that He wasn’t calling us to receive more of the gift of righteousness, since we already fully possess this in our legal position. Our hunger for righteousness doesn’t cause us to deserve grace—nothing can do that—but hunger positions us to receive more of the outworking of righteousness in our character.

Some believers don’t hunger to grow in righteousness in their daily life. Rather, they seek to know how far they can go in sin and how little they need to talk with Jesus to keep their salvation intact.

Imagine a couple in their wedding ceremony who have just completed their vows. While walking down the aisle for the first time as “one,” the man whispers to his new bride, “How far can I go with other women before we get divorced? And how much do I have to talk to you each week?” Adding insult to injury, he then says, “By the way, we just signed a marriage license that legalized our marriage—so now I have legal rights to all that you possess.”

Of course, the new bride would be heartbroken to hear that her husband didn’t love her with all of his heart but was instead establishing their marriage on a faulty foundation—and focusing almost entirely on the bare-minimum “requirements” and legal ramifications involved.

Some teach about grace in a way that parallels the lack of wholeheartedness portrayed in this analogy. It’s a version of grace more concerned with what it takes to “meet the requirements” on paper than to engage in the authentic, loving relationship for which it was originally intended. Sadly, this error is bound to occur whenever people separate the grace message from the first commandment.

How to Receive God’s Grace

Grace was never intended to be abused, but as our current church crisis proves, it can be. God gives us the freedom to choose relationship and obedience to His Word—and thus benefit from the true liberty found in grace. Yet this is also why Paul urged the believers in Corinth “not to receive the grace of God in vain” (2 Cor. 6:1).

The gospel of grace is distorted in two main ways: first, by presenting God’s love as something we can earn; second, by refusing to call people to respond in wholeheartedness to God. The fruit of the biblical grace message is confidence in the gift of God’s love combined with a spirit of obedience. If either of these two elements is missing, then it isn’t the true message. Thus, receiving God’s grace in vain is to receive it in such a way that it doesn’t produce confidence in God’s love nor the resolve to respond wholeheartedly to Jesus’ leadership. Either distortion is disastrous for our spiritual life.

Like Jude in the first century, we must earnestly contend for the truth about grace. The very soul of the youth in our nation hangs in the balance.

The good news, however, is this: The Holy Spirit is highlighting this spiritual crisis and is committed to the recovery of the biblical grace message. We can be confident that He will release His power to establish the first commandment in first place in the church before Jesus returns for His fully prepared Bride (see Rev. 19:7). Let’s come alongside Him, rather than opposing Him, when it comes to receiving, understanding and walking in grace.

MIKE BICKLES IHOP IS A CULT

Darren,

What really breaks my heart is the young people (18-30) who start out on fire for God and get really caught up in all this stuff. In 1999 I was asked by some friends of mine to go with them to Kansas City and help with the setup of the “internship program” and be on Staff. At that time I was “older” then most of the kids, had been in ministry and was considered an example of a Godly intercessor.

I lasted about 4 months, but I was stranded in Kansas City for 2 and a half years. I lasted 4 months because I asked too many questions. These kids were (still are as far as I know) being told that they were “prayer missionaries”. They were expected to work for the ministry 40 hours a week, pray in IHOP 40 hours a week AND attend Grace Bible college and do all the homework required. They were also told they had to raise their own support and they told they could not work outside the ministry.

I was also present in an orientation meeting when the “newbies” were told that it would be better for them to have no contact with old friends or family as they were being trained in a “new way of thinking” outsiders (exact word) would not understand.

When I questioned these and many other practices, first I the people around me stopped talking to me. A week later I was called into a meeting and told “we are not sure you fit in with us here”. I was then told not to come to the prayer house or talk to the interns. 2 things I continued to do until the day I left Kansas City!!

I was sharing a flat in a complex where almost everyone renting there was part of IHOP. Mz flat mates were the directors of the internship program. The flat was directly across the street from where the prayer house was then.

The people I was sharing a flat with were told to take my keys and throw me out. Fortunately, the lease was in my name and when they tried to do that I contacted the Landlord and called the police. I think they were a little shocked that I did not just bow down. After 2 weeks of wrangling where I was forceably locked in my room, physically threatened, coerced and all 4 of my car tires slashed and my car vandalized the complex manager gave me an flat rent free for 3 months. I found a job and was able to start paying rent the second month.

After I started working I started getting threatening phone calls at home and at work. I had made the mistake of calling my former flat mates about something from work, so they gave my work number all around. The calls were traced back to IHOPs offices at Metro Church and charges of stalking and harrassing phone calls were brought. That stopped the phone calls, but it did not stop some of the leaders from sitting or standing outside my building door and shouting and screaming at me if they saw me. One “worship leader” from IHOP even threw water on me from his balcony 2 floors above in same building.

Now I suppose you wonder why I stayed. Well, first of all I did not have the money to leave. I spent all my money getting there, getting set up, buying a car, etc. The other reason was the kids. Almost every week another poor kid would show up who had spent all their money to get there, on fire for God, wanting to “DO SOMETHING FOR GOD” and the first time they spoke out or asked a question or spoke their mind they were told they did not fit and were thrown out. Since they had cut all ties with home after they got their they did not know what to do. Usually I found them tired, exhausted and fed up sitting in a local coffee shop or McDonalds down the street. There was always the old trick of the “IHOP” leadership” telling flat mates they could just chuck their things out and demand their keys. I was usually the one who told them that was not true and I made lots of enemies at IHOP for telling these kids the truth. A couple of them had no idea what they could do and were sleeping on the streets. There are hard cold realities for those who do not fit in at IHOP. I spent hours counseling these “kids” (usually 18-25) and helping them reconnect with their families and get home.

Since leaving IHOP and ministering in other parts of the world with my husband, I have come across other poor souls who have fallen into the IHOP trap and had to be rescued by friends and family.

I still consider myself a prayer warrior and I have seen God do some amazing things. I do not want to cheapen the real thing by focusing on the false teachings and ideas that are out there, but I think the truth needs to be told.

NOw ask me about the Kansas City (Smithton)revival… ;=)

Blessings,

Ann

Smith/Kansas City Revival

 Oh dear so much has been said about the Smith/Kansas City revival. There were whole websites dedicated to its abuse and heresies. So I think I will do it like this.

THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE SMITHTON REVIVAL

1. If you see a good show somewhere else, there is no reason you can not recreate it in your church. Steve Gray said “I went to Brownsville and I can DO that too”.

2. No one is indespensible. It does not matter if its your mother, father, brother, sister, sister-in-law or even your children. If they get in the way of the show, they gotta go.

3. A handpicked audience is always better. Steve and Kathy made sure only the most gullible, agreeable, easily manipulated were in the front for the world to see.

4. If your 2 year old can not stand in the same spot with their hands in the air for 3 to 4 hours of worshiping God then beat them until they learn to submit. This was actually in the “Revival Handbook” until it was turned over to Childrens Protective Services. I saw this first hand in the ladies bathroom where the little demons were brought to be beaten before going back to “worship”. I personally reported 2 parents to child services.

5. Never let people know where the money really goes. this was always true of the Grays. The truth is the money always went to them, not the ministry because THEY WERE THE MINISTRY. that is why they could leave Smithton, sell the building, run away and never look back (see Smithton Revival: Revival’s Relocation Pits Pastor Against Alienated Followers http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2001/october1/14.18.html)

6. If they wont give you money, dont give them anything either. We were in a tent for 2 years. In the winter in the freezing cold and in the summer in the blazing heat. Steve figured that it would help people give more to build a building quicker. When they did build a building it was much different then what was promised and much less was spent then what was actually raised for the building.

7. Make promises you know you will not keep. This was always happening. If people had a problem, a promise was made to fix it on the spot, but it never happened. You know of course that you can not really questions “Gods Elect” so they could never be called liars.

Oh my there is so much I learned at World Revival Church. This should do for a start 🙂

IT’S MY OPINION

THE PROBLEM IS BOTH HYPER-GRACE PREACHERS AND THIRD WAVE PREACHERS HAVE NO INTEGRITY AND ARE OFF THE WALL. THEY ARE NOT FULL OF FAITH, POWER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT ARE FULL OF THEMSELVES!

While it true some believers don’t hunger to grow in righteousness in their daily life. Rather, they seek to know how far they can go in sin and how little they need to talk with Jesus to keep their salvation intact. It is also true that these so called believers are not really Christians but deceived ones otherwise the would live and walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh and operate in all the gifts of the Spirit.

Unfortunately it’s a sad fact that most Christian leaders don’t operate in all the gifts of the Spirit and are not full of faith, power and the Holy Spirit like Stephen the layman was:

Acts 6:
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,

8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people

MESSIANIC JEWS

SUPERNATURAL SID:
An Exposé of Jewish Supremacist Sid Roth

Popular “Messianic Jewish” media figure, Sid Roth has a significant following in books, radio, print, and television. Based in Georgia, his TV show It’s Supernatural! is carried by mainstream Christian broadcasters, and Roth’s recent book entitled They Thought For Themselves: Ten Amazing Jews, has over 1 million copies in print.

Sid Roth’s ministry is one of those which requires a bit of an effort to analyze, because the style of the message tends to sidestep and/or avoid the nuts and bolts of New Testament doctrine – instead utilizing a feel good, relationship driven message of encouragement and reconciliation, all predicated on a supposed effort to reach out to Jews.

Such verbiage sounds good to most believers, but as we know, the Scriptures tell us

“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end therof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 16:25).

The idea of reaching out to anybody, including Jewish people who need Jesus, is certainly a good thing – but the question du jour is, reaching out with what? As is the case in every Messianic ministry involved in the so called Hebrew Roots movement, Sid Roth’s message is reaching out to the Spiritually cold Jews with a lukewarm manifestation of the Gospel – yet another version of the Jewish Supremacism, which is guaranteed by the Scriptures to lead its adherents into perdition.

Those who have toured the heretical landscape that is found throughout the Antichrist movement which is known as Messianic Judaism can tell at a glance that something is wrong when they see the six pointed Star of Moloch (Amos 5:26) prominently displayed in any ministry masthead; but it’s usually a bit more difficult to precisely pin down just what is doctrinally wrong with such a ministry – especially when you have to dig to find out just what they really teach.

The fact is, any ministry that has not seen through the so called “Star of David” fraud, and continues to display the wretched symbol, whose denunciation resulted in the murder of Stephen the evangelist in Acts 7:43, indicates that ministry is so completely devoid of the truth that all should steer clear.

The prominent presence of the Molochian Star notwithstanding, the ambiguity found in ministries such as Sid Roth’s, is usually related to the fact that they’re trying to build a consensus among disparate Spiritual factions, and clear and coherent doctrinal statements virtually always offend people – a practice not conducive to financial support., or broad acceptance. This is related to the fact that Jesus said

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law” (Matthew 10:34,35).

Like all larger ministries, it’s difficult to tell if Sid Roth personally wrote various items in his newsletter (entitled Mishpochah), or if it was prepared by an associate, such as Lonnie Lane, who has written dozens of articles for one of Sid Roth’s websites. However, Sid signed his name on a recent column in which he describes the “single sin” that “releases” the LORD’s “end time” judgment on nations – and predictably, that is the sin of “dividing” His land. Citing the prophet Joel, Roth spins his web of deceit, clearly indicating that America will be judged for her part in attempts to bring a lasting peace to the tinderbox which is the Middle East.

Since the cited passage in Joel was penned centuries before Christ, and spoke of a coming captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, Roth’s sleight of hand in pushing the prophecy into our time clearly diminishes the astounding prescience of the prophet, who saw the events of the Roman siege, and the captivity and dispersion of the Jews, hundreds of years before the fact.

This is part and parcel of the Messianic fraud that claims America (or anyone else for that matter) will be judged for her treatment of the contemporary apostate state of Israel – thereby insinuating the famous prophecy that God will curse anyone who curses the “seed” of Abraham applies to the modern Jews – the foundational lie of the Spirit of Antichrist.

Don’t get me wrong: America is under judgment, but not for the reasons put forth by the Messianics. However, that’s not the central issue in the present exposition, as this work intens to shine the light of the truth on Sid Roth.

By embracing the monstrous fraud that physical Jewry still embodies the office of the “chosen people” as the “seed of Abraham,” Sid Roth and the burgeoning “Messianic” movement, coupled with evangelical groups such as John Hagee’s decrepit Christians United For Israel, are finding themselves warmly welcomed in mainstream Jewish circles.

Since the Spirit of Antichrist has been energizing the Israelite rejection of Messiah for centuries, The Rapture Cult, and a multitude of Messianic groups take this to be an indicator that “all Israel” is on the verge of being saved – thus fulfilling their corrupted version of the Gospel.

For example, Roth recently exulted

“I still cannot believe the great miracle God has just done! The Atlanta Jewish Times, a major traditional Jewish newspaper , recommended their subscribers read my Jewish evangelistic book…” (Mishpocha, #1105).

The obvious question should be, What’s wrong with this picture?

Anyone with an ounce of Spiritual discernment knows that “traditional” Jews (a euphemism for the Talmud-taught Semites who vehemently revile Jesus) practically spit when someone tries to “evangelize” them , so this Spiritually null and void generation of “Christians” assumes this new receptivity to the supposed gospel must be prophecy being fulfilled. This is because our entire generation has been weaned on the Rapture Cult originated concept that, after all the “Gentiles” that are earmarked for salvation have come into the fold, God will then move to save “all Israel” – and this faulty assumption is the stock in trade of virtually all Messianic groups.

It is an increasingly rare believer who can see through the charade, and realize that Messianic Jews have now found just the right admixture of truth and fiction to allow them to appeal this generation of collective Jewry.

As previously stated, the primary lie is related to the seductive concept that Jews are still the premier party in the LORD’s great plan – at a time when God has repeatedly declared the real Jew is the one who has left all behind (which would include vain traditions and previous Old Covenant standing) in order to embrace the cross.

But Sid Roth isn’t taking any chances with the fiscal health of his ministry, so he’s added a dash of the prosperity doctrine into his cauldron of Judaeo-Christian apostasy. He writes

“…no matter what happens to America, people who sow into the salvation of Jewish people will be extravagantly blessed. In the midst of judgment, watch God supernaturally protect you, your family, your income and health” (Mishpocha, page 6, emphasis mine).

Hopefully the reader accurately deciphered that veiled statement in Sidspeak. He just said that if you “sow” into reaching out to Jews – the word “sow” being synonymous with sending Sid your tax deductible donation – God will supernaturally protect you and your “income” because you helped the “chosen people.”

Ironically, Sid Roth is positioned to see explosive growth in his ministry, as the unholy partnership between Jewish Supremacist factions and apostate Christianity is prophesied to rise to unheard of heights in our time; but, as Jesus said

“What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36)

When one digs a little deeper to get at more detailed data concerning just why Christ-rejecting Jews are supposedly so open to the “gospel” presented by Roth and company, we find it’s because Sid has synthesized the truth of Christ with the lie of Judaism, and produced an abomination which maketh desolate. For instance, on Sid Roth’s website, his associate Lonnie Lane tells us that when the Holy Spirit baptized the believers in Jesus Christ at the event called Pentecost,

“…the event was still within Judaism…. It was Judaism fully realized when all persons could be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, to fully follow the God of Israel.” (Roth website, Birth Of A Nation, Birth Of A Kingdom, L Lane, emphasis mine)

I’ve read the New Testament many times, and even have copies of most of the corrupted translations, but I’ve yet to find a verse that says when Jesus came into my heart to be my Saviour, I adopted “Judaism” as my religion!

If this were not an incorporated religion, we might suspect Roth is a master at product branding, for he has succeeded in a serpentine mingling of attributes from both Christianity and Judaism, and laced their wicked offspring with marketing hooks which appeal to both. Utilizing slick slogans such as “It’s Supernatural!,” and what he calls “One New Man,” this intellectual witch’s brew is saturated in a syrupy love for Israel, and seasoned with a touch of the prosperity gospel. In short, Sid Roth is a marketing charlatan who is leading significant numbers of believers to the lake of fire.

Over the years, we’ve learned the key to the many permutations of the Antichrist’s offerings is always related to the racist Jewish primacy found in Judaism. Thus, in Roth’s aberrant approach, every aspect of his version of end time’s events is predicated on the identification of Jewish people, and the present political state of Israel, as “the apple of God’s eye” – i.e. the “chosen people.”

So called “Messianic Jews” invariably seek to subtly emphasize to their Christ rejecting physical brethren that, if they will just come to Yeshua (Jesus), they will realize that they are fulfilling a promise which God made that Jews are unconditionally chosen to be drawn to the LORD. This is a deadly lie, and as long as it remains within the hearts and souls of adherents to this worldview, the results will always be in accord with the Spirit of Antichrist.

Indeed, in the process of trying to build bridges between the Gospel and physical Israel, instead of the truth being exported to the lost Jews, the leaven of the Pharisees is regularly imported into those seeking to reach them.

As a case in point, author Lane seeks to build rapport and relationship with lost Israelites by sidestepping the fact that they are in a Spiritually desolate condition, through saying the Old Covenant still has some value – but of course, they still couple such statements with the need to know Jesus. She starts out in the past tense:

“The sacrifices of Israel brought forgiveness to Israel, but they did not restore Israel to intimate fellowship with God such as born again believers enjoy” (The New Covenant Is Jewish, L Lane).

With this Dialectical approach, Sid Roth’s spokesperson tries to sustain the relationship with the Jews through a theological concession which asserts the Old Covenant still has a benefit, but quickly plays to the Christians by including the imperative that Jews still need Jesus. She then subtly shifts her Diaprax (the practice of the Dialectic) to the present tense, and says that an Old Covenant animal sacrifice still has some value in the here and now:

“It may forgive individual sins, for that is what the Old Covenant sacrifices forgave, but it still leaves them in the sin nature that would mean eternal separation from God. Individual sins may no longer be counted against them through the sacrifices, but only sinlessness can be in, let alone remain, God’s presence and that is only accomplished by the atonement of Yeshua. I think we can all agree, with that information….” (The New Covenant Is Jewish, L Lane)

This is a classic application of the Dialog to Consensus (also called Neuro-Linguistic Programming), as highlighted in the previous quotation. For those unaware of the now pervasive process of the Dialectic, it was refined by Karl Marx, who drew from the earlier German philosopher Georg Immanuel Hegel (the process then known as the Hegelian Dialectic) ; but it’s most candid practitioners openly admit their primary role model was the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

The point is, the entire procedure is thoroughly Satanic, and it is built around the goal of trying to move a party away from a fixed position, through the process of Dialog, and the writings associated with Sid Roth just reek of it.

Although the Dialectic is complex, it is useful to simply boil it down to the simple formula that absolute truth, also seen as a fact, is subtly diminished through the process of Dialog, which seeks to preserve the relationship.

The fact is, Jesus Christ is the truth, and the Jewish rejection of the truth manifests the primary lie. Emphasizing the relationship with both, Messianic Judaism seeks to bridge the gap between the two. Ironically, this places Messianic Jews in the role of the mediator between Christianity and Judaism – thus replacing Jesus Christ who is the mediator between God and sinful man.

The Greek word for “in place of” is anti –- so in every sense of the word, Messianic Judaism is Antichrist. All of this, and much more, is accomplished using the language of Lucifer, and Sid Roth speaks it fluently.

Thus, whenever we encounter this process in religious circles, we’ve learned to recognize the true Spiritual source. Revelation aptly describes the use of the Dialectic in the end time’s “church” with the following prophetic imagery identified as the False Prophet:

“…he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon” (Revelation 13:11).

Incidentally, many believers are unaware of the fact that a resumption of animal sacrifices by Jews is rarely repudiated by Messianics, because they see this as a vehicle which will help to build affinity with their Christ rejecting brethren. We have previously documented the efforts of other supposed followers of Yeshua who actually encourage a resumption of sacrifices among Jews, as they see this as a small step back towards the LORD.

Thus, we weren’t surprised to find Roth’s writer saying that Old Covenant animal sacrifices “may forgive individual sins” when, in fact, a resumption of any form of sacrifice is a giant leap into the bottomless pit.

Earlier, I noted how the presence of the Star of Moloch (which has been definitively linked to Saturn and other names of blasphemy, as opposed to David) is a Spiritual Signature, which reveals the hidden nature of various ministries.

The same is true of Dragonspeak, for whenever a supposedly Christian ministry (one that looks lamblike) is found to be speaking with the language of Lucifer known as the Dialectic, they have involuntarily betrayed their true nature.

There are dozens of other examples of Dragonspeak in the various writings found on Sid Roth’s website and print materials, and the Dialectic is widely utilized. Of course this group is hardly novel, as we live in the time of the long prophesied Falling Away, and in previous work we’ve repeatedly shown the final apostasy is a new world order, built around a consensus between Judaism and Christianity (the so-called Judaeo-Christian religion) , with its seductive power emanating out of the earthly city of Jerusalem.

Unfortunately, Sid Roth and many other ministries of a similar orientation have positioned themselves to rise along with this tide of apostasy -– but the true Remnant believer will study the Scriptures, and they shall know the truth — and the voice of Sid Roth they will not follow (John 10:5).

The Israel Of God

The first time I saw this phrase, drawn from the book of Galatians, it resonated in my Spirit to the degree that I realized the LORD was speaking to me in a way that is profoundly prophetic.

These words were written by the Apostle Paul to the Christians at Galatia, and when I came to understand the circumstances of just why the Holy Spirit moved on Paul to reference the Christians as “the Israel of God,” I learned a very valuable lesson. It is my desire to share this teaching with the reader. Certainly, a bit of context is in order.

Due to the religious conditioning which has come to dominate most of the denominations and Christian fellowships over the last century, most believers see themselves as members of the so-called “church,” as opposed to the unique title Paul used to describe the saved in the following passage:

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision [being an Israelite] availeth anything, nor uncircumcision [being a Gentile], but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16).

To phrase this in the simplest language possible, the Apostle Paul is saying being Jewish is worth nothing, and being Gentile is worth nothing, because whatever you were before, in Christ you are now “a new creature,” and this new body of believers is called “the Israel of God.”

The Gospel That Paul Preached

To see how Paul could come to believe the Christians have somehow become Israel, we must go back to the earliest days of his ministry, and this is found in the book of Acts. Because Paul was an expert on the prophets, after he was converted to Christianity, he realized he understood many things that were prophesied about Christ, and he found himself teaching the Christians such things in Antioch in Pisidia.

As in other cities, he continued to receive huge resistance from the Jews, largely because they accurately perceived this new religious development threatened their standing as the chosen of God. This was also because of what had occurred in Caesarea. Shortly after Paul encountered Christ, and began to proclaim Jesus as the Messiah, Peter went into a trance sent by the LORD, in which he was told to preach Jesus to the Gentiles. Up until that time, the disciples had preached exclusively to the Jews:

“Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled…preaching the word to none but the Jews only” (Acts 11:19).

However, when word reached the disciples the Holy Spirit had baptized a group of Gentiles in Caesarea in the presence of Peter, and the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem had glorified God that the Gentiles were to be included in the salvation of Jesus Christ, the scattered Christians began to preach to the Greeks, with great success.

“And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed” (Acts 11:21).

Everywhere the Christians went, they would preach to the Jews first, and then the Gentiles. Although they did see periodic conversions to Christ among individual people of Jewish descent, a significant turning point occurred when Paul was in Antioch and the Gentiles came to the LORD in wholesale numbers.

Paul concluded his sermon in the synagogue to the Jews by quoting a rather pointed verse from Habakkuk, who prophesies how the Jews will not only refuse to hear the truth concerning Christ, the prediction also hints that their rejection will be related to the inclusion of the Gentiles into the salvation of Yahweh:

“Behold ye among the heathen [read Gentiles], and regard, and wonder marvelously, for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you” (Habakkuk 1:5).

At Antioch, Paul had preached to the Jews first, because Jesus had said from the very beginning that He was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. When it became self evident the LORD chose to include the Gentiles in His New Covenant with the house of Israel, Paul and the other Apostles responded with joy:

“When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life” (Acts 11:18).

The Gentiles Are Born Again As Israel

As the door of salvation opened to the Greeks, the Romans, and other nations of the world, some of the Jews responded to the New Testament of Jesus Christ; but most refused to allow the Spirit of the Lord to move them into the place they needed to go to receive salvation. Oddly enough, at Antioch, the text does not record any firm Jewish rejection of the Gospel when Paul first presented the way of salvation to them. It was as if there was no reaction at all.

Surely Paul sensed this apathy in his Spirit, for the lengthy account in Acts tells us he closed his sermon with a very abrasive paraphrase of the previously cited verse from Habakkuk:

“…therefore…through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins…Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you” (Acts 13:38,40,41).

Antioch was clearly a turning point, for it was there that Paul began to connect the prophecies concerning Israel’s rejection of the Gospel with the inclusion of the Gentiles to the house of Israel. The reader will recall that it was in Antioch when, after preaching Jesus to the Jews,

“…the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together…” (Acts 13:42).

The Gentile Prodigal Son Is Received By The Father

It is at this stage that we see the element of envy seems to crystallize the as-yet unspoken Antiochian hostility towards the Gospel. As Paul preached to the entire city, we see how the Jews were moved with jealousy at the explosive popularity of Christianity:

“But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming” (Acts 13:45).

As usual, Paul’s reaction was to again cite from the prophets, but this time, he quoted a prophecy concerning Israel, and applied it to the Christian believers – a clear indicator he saw the body of Christ as what he would later call “the Israel of God.”

“…it was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:46,47).

Paul is quoting from Isaiah, and the verse in question is, without a doubt, speaking of what the prophet calls “the preserved of Israel,” who are to be “a light of the Gentiles.” With this citation, Paul makes a profound public declaration concerning the doctrine of the identity of Israel, as he plainly identifies this prophecy as applying to the believers in Christ – the “us” in the verse – in sharp contrast to the Jews who Paul says have “judged [themselves] unworthy of everlasting life” (Acts 13:46).

What this means quite simply is that Paul understood, and publicly stated, that the promises made to Israel were fulfilled in the body of Spiritual “Israel,”an identity he referred to as “us” – i.e. the Christians. To put it bluntly, the Christians are the only saved Israel seen in the New Testament.

The transition concludes when Christ rejecting physical Israel, joins with the Christ rejecting physical Gentiles, to attack the single Spiritual entity that was born again as Spiritual Israel.

“But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them they were ware of it, and fled….” (Acts 14:2,5,6).

You Must Be Born Again

The reconfiguration of Israel was complete, for what could be called Spiritual Israel, or Born Again Israel, comprised of former Jews and former Gentiles, was being attacked by physical Jews and physical Gentiles, who had joined together to oppose the Gospel.

At this point, it’s useful to remind the reader that the New Testament cogently tells us that there is no difference between physical Jews or physical Gentiles in Christ:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (II Corinthians 5:17).

This means that if any man is not in Christ, he is what he was – an unsaved Jew or an unsaved Gentile. We note that the two components of Anti-Israel, comprised of Christ rejecting Jews and unregenerate Gentiles form one body – those who are not saved. On the opposite side of the spectrum, we see the two components of “the Israel of God,” comprised of former Jews and former Gentiles who now form “a new creature” — those who are saved.

Because most Christians have been taught they have become members of the so-called “church” (a word that simply means an assembly), the Roman Catholic concept of the “church” replacing Israel came about. The Rapture Cult, realizing the Old Testament promises to Israel must be fulfilled in Israel, then came up with the idea of rotating salvation (the “church” is saved, gets raptured, and then Israel gets redeemed), but both systems are fatally flawed.

No matter how you slice it, the only saved entity in Scripture is Israel, and the Apostle Paul clearly articulated the body of Christian believers is one body, comprised of former Jews and former Gentiles, who have been born again as a new creation – The Israel Of God.
