The Forgotten Facts about Michael Brown of Brownsville by Sandy Simpson, 7/8/19 Dr. Brown has been making the rounds of evangelical church gatherings and conferences presenting himself as an authority on Judaism and the truth of Scripture. His latest conference, where he is listed first as a plenary speaker, is the NCCA (National Conference on Christian Apologetics) put on by Southern Evangelical Seminary (SBC) and held at Calvary Church in Charlotte. Looks good except for one glaring problem. Michael Brown. This guy has been inserting himself in all kinds of apologetics and Jewish studies conferences. He carries with him an unrepenant participation in the Brownsville "Outpouring" that split hundreds of churches worldwide with the false teachings of the Latter Rain. He lied to Holly Pivec of Spirit of Error by saying there was no such thing as the New Apostolic Reformation. He is a clear wolf in sheep's clothing. There are some good knowledgable people particiapting in this conference but I would not spend a dime to hear his diaprax. Please warn others about this. This from a man who is actually an adherent of Latter Rain teachings, associate and participant with many New Apostolic members (for an older membership list go here and who has never repented of the false teachings of Brownsville in which he participated as a leader and that split many churches around the world along doctrinal lines. I have a number of articles about him on my site. I started collecting articles exposing the Brownsville "Revival" back in 1996 because of the lies being told by its leadership. I wanted to leave a historical record of what went on, of the false teachings and false prophecies, so that they could not dupe people with false information they are putting out there. Such is the case with Michael Brown, one of the leaders in that movement. Following is evidence of his guilt by participation in the Third Wave. My hope is that Bible-believing, Christ-centered Christian organizations will quit associating with him.

A Man and His angel - A Biblical examination of William Branham's Practices and Teachings
| by Mike Oppenheimer, 10/13/19 In the history of modern healing ministries one person stands out more than any other, William Branham. Over fifty years after his death there are few men that continue to influence the Church and today's modern healing ministries. Branham's influence is more extensive today than in his day when he was alive. William Branham is the main influence for the Latter Rain movement in the late 1940's that infected so many Pentecostals. He left us the legacy of the healing revivals and signs and wonders, he is also one of the primary sources of the "river" that is flowing today that is the resurgence of the Latter Rain movement. Many are satisfied with his exhibition of words of knowledge and miraculous power without knowing what he really believed. Branham vehemently denied the Trinity and adopted his own unique modalistic view from the Oneness Pentecostals. He revived heresies in the early church (modalism, adoptionism) that were dealt with at the beginning when they were introduced. He claimed Jesus never said He was the Son of God, nor was Jewish, nor that Jesus was truly human. He believed the prophets were all gods, that Jesus was different, he was a God prophet. He taught that God in all ages had skin on him - even before the incarnation. That it was the Angel of the Lord whom he assumed was Jesus teaching and leading him to have visions and do miracles. He believed from his experience[s] that he was the forerunner, Elijah the prophet, and latter the prophet - the 7th angel to the last age church. Branham taught that Eve's sin in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) was a sexual sin with the serpent, who is Satan. That Cain was the offspring of their illicit affair (known as the serpent seed doctrine). He believed in three Bibles; the Scripture, the Zodiac (the first) and the pyramids, which were built by Enoch with atomic power. These were were all revelations of God, Branham was deep into mysticism, and used metaphysical resources, Gnosticism, Kabbalah to explain the Bible. This book addresses the preexistence of man, word faith theology, dominionism of the Garden, manifest sons of God teaching, man is god. Errors on the nature of God, The logos was made, and man was made by the logos in heaven before coming to earth. What you will find in this book is that so many of the errors Branham taught and practiced have been adopted and have become the errors in the church today. Many have no idea that the word faith, Latter Rain 3rd wave teachers are following in the footsteps of William Branham. This book makes it clear where their teachings and practices come from.

Unlocking "the Secrets"-How Silly! |
by Lynn Lusby Pratt, 10/12/19
I talk a lot about the trendy but biblically erroneous teachings on new spiritual technologies. The suggestion that we can finally unlock the "secrets" to a full life of faith capitalizes on our culture's desperate search for purpose and prevalent "fear of missing out." But not only is it dangerous for Christians to go looking for these things; if we just back up and look at the lives of a few Bible heroes, the logic even becomes downright silly! Let's see... Joseph-Should we label him ineffective, spiritually lacking? After all, he didn't have the Catholic mystics to lead him into self-torture, levitation, and erotic encounters with entities. Joshua-Look what all Joshua accomplished. His only "secret" was to obey God's commands and be bold. Could he have accomplished more if he'd done lectio divina?

by Paul Proctor, 10/15/19
I have addressed, on numerous occasions, the Church's ongoing efforts to reinvent Christianity into a global religion of Results & Relationships by using the powers of pragmatism and consensus to artificially grow itself into something more widely accepted by the world instead of faithfully proclaiming the Word of God "in season and out" as we are commanded to do in 2nd Timothy 4:2. The leaders of the new spirituality and its church growth movement have always had a hard time avoiding the "wide gate" and "broad way" choosing clever methods of "evangelism" that are not only incompatible with God's Word, but also prove them unwilling to trust Him with the increase - ever looking for something more clever, spectacular and impressive to glory in and boast about to a watching world.
