Entertainment-style Christianity vs. Interactive-style Christianityby Sandy Simpson Today, in a majority of churches, we see the result of the seeker-friendly, "purpose-driven", church growth, Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation methods and teachings and their product I am calling "Entertainment-style Christianity" (ESC). But ESC churches are not only missing out on the cutting edge of true Christianity, but are heading down the road to apostasy. True biblical Christianity is "interactive". Those in ESC are taught to be spectators at mega-church entertainment events. They are not taught the Bible but rather to be enamored with the oratorical skills of the preacher, and to not dare question anything that is shoved down the throats of the "laity" by the ruling "anointed" elite. They are treated to a circus atmosphere including wild CCM music with people flailing around and acting like they are on drugs, to preachers who tell endless stories about themselves and joke about everything while actually making profundity mundane, to hula dancing, to banners and marching in the church and around it, to the blowing of shofars, to slain in the spirit and wild manifestations. Theirs ears are tickled by guest speakers who make up sermons out of their own imaginations instead of the written Word. They are entertained with gold dust, gold fillings, "angel" feathers, "angel" footprints, drunk in the spirit antics, and during these displays they can go out and get a latte and a snack at the church snack bar. They come into these mega churches and leave without being personally challenged other than with tired worldly psychology, and without anyone being able to find out what they are doing in their private lives. A small percentage attend "cell groups" where they are diapraxed into consensus instead of challenged to be Bereans and think and act for themselves. They live like the world during the week, then come to church where the world is not only welcomed but accommodated.

Todd Bentley is a liar and a con-man. He is no more a Christian than Joe Biden is a Roman Catholic. He does not hear from angels - probably demons, though. Does he have a direct pipeline to God as he claims he does? Hardly. The NAR, of which he is a kingpin, is a dangerous movement teaming with false prophets who, like Bentley, also claim God speaks to them. If these men and women hear a voice in their mind, the voice they're hearing is that of a deceiving spirit. The Lord is not appearing to these lying prophets nor do their so-called visions and dreams come from Him. The modern day apostles and prophets of the NAR are wolves in sheep's clothing - flee from them! Now that I've let off steam, here's Protestia's piece: Charismatic "prophet" Todd Bentley, the only huckster in the whole of Christianity that Dr. Michael Brown has ever bothered to condemn (and that only slightly), is up to no good, revealing that he's had a string of angelic encounters and personal visions from Jesus who told him that the time of waiting is done, and that he's about to embark on a new 25-year ministry mandate.

Russell Moore-Led ERLC A Threat To SBC Funding, Unity Report Finds
|
by Leonardo Blair, The Christian Post, 2/4/21
"The report, which was released Monday, noted that while giving to the SBC's Cooperative Program has been trending downward for years, Moore's leadership and perceived liberal politics has led to hundreds of churches withholding funds to the program, threatening to withhold funding or even cutting ties with the denomination." Nearly two years after a motion to defund the Southern Baptist Convention's Russell Moore-led Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission was rejected by messengers, a new report from a task force commissioned to study the denomination's public policy arm has found it to be a major threat to the funding of the $15 billion Protestant Christian organization's Cooperative Program.

Perry Stone speaks of a very significant and important video he has produced. What is it? It is about William Branham's 7 vision prophecy that Branham supposedly received in 1933. He tells us to watch all of it, " Number 7 the 7th thing I will tell you. On this video is probably the most significant, number 6 and 7 actually match and you're going hear something that I have taught for 20 years ." He then says when Hillary was running for president he was sharing Branham's 1933 vision " asking the question could she be the person to fulfill it?" This means that Perry Stone is a subscriber to Branham's teachings and that makes him unsafe for a number of reasons. First: Does Stone know Branham not only denied the Trinity but cursed it? He did this with a "thus saith the Lord." Is not the nature of God to be taught accurately? Second: To endorse this false prophet / teacher shows he lacks discernment.
