Luring People To Destruction
By The Unscrupulous Use Of The "Gospel" Message
by Sandy Simpson Phil. 1:14-18 Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, If you see what I see in this passage, this argument cannot be used for people like Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and the hundreds, even thousands of Third Wave ministers today who are not merely envious and self ambitious, but are also teaching outright false doctrine. Paul was not talking about heretics in this statement, but "brothers in the Lord" who preach the Gospel with wrong motives. Third Wave teachers not only have wrong motives, they also have the wrong message. This argument cannot be used for people like Hinn, even if they manage to preach enough of the "Gospel" for people to come to a saving knowledge of the Lord, because they are also teaching and practicing heresy.

Laodicean church pastor Rick Warren appeared in Congress with pop icon and outspoken homosexual Elton John on Wednesday to ask for more money for AIDS research. They were clearly having such a good time that they started holding hands as you see in the photo below. After taking their seats at the witness table, the pair laughed and smiled as they held hands, with Warren saying "Amen" and cautioning John that if they kissed it would be "the kiss heard 'round the world." Is Rick Warren trying to tell us something here, is there a "coming out" moment in his future? Hard to say at this point, but sure looks like it.

| Fantasy Spirutual Warfare (DVDs) |
by Mike Oppenheimer, 8/23/15
This is probably the most important DVD we have done which covers one of the most dangerous of all the false teachings in the church, Those who claim they will, or have defeated Satan and bring the kingdom of God to earth. This DVD contains an overview teaching on spiritual warfare in Bible history. We cover who is Satan, how he tempts us, the Devils strategies of distraction and lies and the fallen angels influence over mankind. The new age movement's part. Who is behind plans in the New Age Movement. The unity of universalism. Those in the church that say the same things, who are willing to accept and synthesize other beliefs and call it Christianity What is practiced today as spiritual warfare. Spiritual war by Breaking curses. Numerous clips that show what they mean by their own words; clips of the originators of the movement and it connection to the latter rain, and Peter Wagner who has written and endorsed more books on this subject than anyone else. This is the basis for the New Apostolic movements dominionist teaching that are permeating churches (via Peter Wagner), at the same time they are rejecting the teaching on the tribulation period and the rapture. In it we cover the dominionist teaching of the 7 mountain mandate of the new apostles. Video Claims of defeating Satan by those in the new apostolic prophetic movement. The spiritual warfare meetings that bring confusion by demon chasers teaching others to do the same. YWAM's involvement from the beginning to today. What is our spiritual armor for our protection. Where is the warfare really being fought? Is our warfare in the heavens or on earth. Are demons running wild and is the control for peace in the world up to the church? The meaning of binding and loosing and the real spiritual warfare the world is facing now and in the future. What is the most feared thing we can counter Satan with. How to fight against the enemy, and how not to fight. The railing against the enemy binding and incarcerating him. Why it is important to test their teachings and read the Bible carefully.

| The "I AM" Movement |
by Mike Oppenheimer, 8/24/15
The "I AM" society was founded by Guy W. Ballard (1878-1939) and his wife, Edna W. Ballard (1886-1971). After his serving in the army during World War I, he superintended his uncle's lead mine in Tucson, Arizona. His wife Edna was an accomplished concert harpist, and like her husband also had an interest in metaphysics and the occult. After three years of marriage in 1916 their son Donald was born. Guy Ballard was an ardent reader of theosophical/occult literature, had heard the reports of strange occult events that had occurred at Mt. Shasta. Guy Ballard was a mining engineer in 1929. Upon completion of a job in the West had decided to visit Mt. Shasta, California. Occultists believed the mountain is the home of a lost race of mystic adepts from Atlantis who live inside. Ballard was a student of occult metaphysics and was captivated with the stories about Shasta. He decided to visit the mountain to investigate the rumor that a group of Divine Men called the Brotherhood of Mt. Shasta were to be found there. This became the turning point in the Ballard's lives. Read The "I AM" Movement - Part 1 The Occult ascended masters teaching to Guy Ballard & The "I AM" Movement - Part 2 history and teaching.

Thirteen years had passed since my family had left India. Now I found myself on an airplane returning there. I was filled with excitement and nostalgic memories. Would I bump into old friends with whom I had lost contact over the years? Would anything have changed? I was traveling with a small group of international cult experts. We had received a grant enabling our research group to travel around India, visiting gurus and their ashrams.
