When The Ends AND The Means
Are Unjustifiable
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Way
back in 1976 C. Peter Wagner had already expressed a
foundation of sand upon which his entire "apostolic" kingdom
is built. To back up his notions, he and his friends
such as John
Wimber, Paul
Cain and many others began to
get the cart before the horse. They tried to create
revival where there was none with unbiblical and even
heretical ideas. They imported occult ideas from false
religions into the churches, such as "slain
in the spirit" and called the
results "revival". The means they used were the
counterfeit revivals of the Word
Of Faith Movement, the Vineyard
movement, the Toronto
"Blessing", the Brownsville
"Outpouring" and on down the
line to latest Todd
Bentley "Lakeland Revival". The proof that
the means have all been unjustifiable is in the
unjustifiable ends. Lakeland has now come to an
apparent abrupt end due to false healing and dead raising
claims, many false teachings, a false "transferable"
anointing, and sexual misconduct. You can read about
these things in our Todd
Bentley section. Yet the
leadership of the New
Apostolic Reformation has not
even been slowed by yet another bad end brought about by the
self-destruction of the means. In the latest
ElijahList the false prophets are prophesying even greater
revivals to come.

The
Handkerchief Phenomenon
Addendum
to “A Whole Lot Of Wishful Thinking These Days”
by
Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
There
is a new phenomenon especially among some island churches
where handkerchiefs are being handed around a congregation
claiming that they have an anointing that can cause people
to be healed and other miraculous things happen to them. The
problem with this idea is especially evident in two things:
(1) that this can and is being considered by many to be
Christian magic and (2) that it is being taught as being
something that should be a normal part of the Christian
experience. It is taught that if you have faith you
will believe in touching the handkerchief that you will be
healed, freed from demons, or get a special anointing.
But faith is not proven by signs and wonders.

This
chart should be of grave interest to those in YWAM and
those supporting YWAM and its agenda with the IPM or
"First Nations" movement led by people like Daniel Kikawa
(Perpetuated

and many others. You will notice a very close
comparison in this chart between false religion and
so-called "Christian" leaders. Please read what YWAM, The
Emerging Chuch,

Three
Fallacies Of Third Wave Spiritual Warfare Teachings
by Sandy
Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
When so-called Christians employ Biblical
pagan methods to rid themselves of demons, they end up
giving the enemy an opportunity to deceive them and a
foothold in their lives. When Israel disobeyed the
Lord's command to come down to Jerusalem and worship Him
in the temple under the Law, and instead chose to set up
altars in the high places, the result was that they ended
up worshiping demons. They thought they were
worshiping God, but ended up worshiping Baal and
Ashtoreth. You cannot live a life glorifying to the
Lord unless you obey Him.

The Duties of Christian
Leadership
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Christians, and especially Christian leadership,
are called to be salt and light in a dark world.
Matt. 5:13-16 "You are the salt of the
earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can
it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything,
except to be thrown out and trampled by men. "You are
the light of the world. A city on
a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp
and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand,
and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same
way, let your light shine before men, that they may see
your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
When the Lord tells us to be salt and light, He
states both the positive and the negative. That is the
way with all Scripture. We can’t just take the
positive and be done with the subject. We have to
consider all the ramifications of being salt and
light. Salt is used to season food and make it taste
good. It was and still is used as a
preservative. In the same way Christians are to be
salt in the world. Without the witness of Christ,
without standing for the truth, life is ultimately tasteless
and rotten. Anyone here who was a sinner for any
length of time without the Savior knows what I am talking
about. But the flip side is that salt can lose its
saltiness. Christians can lose their saltiness by
diluting the Gospel message to the point where it is
useless. Let me give you an example of a washed out
Gospel often preached in churches today.

The New Powerless
Gospel
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
TI have been
challenged lately to think again about what the Gospel
message is all about. This has come as a result of
hearing what I considerto be, at the very least, "gospel
lite" and at the most no gospel at all being presented by a
number of neo-evangelicals, Third Wavers and
outrightheretics. The interesting thing is that many
seem to be preaching the same message. What is
most intriguing is that false teachers like Benny Hinn,
ecumenicals, and even some preachers I would considerto be
orthodox in their theology are preaching a "gospel" that is
very similar.The question is: Is this new gospel message
really the Gospel at all?

Leviathan
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This creature that existed, and may yet
exist, is used as a description of the might and power
of the enemy.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD will
punish Leviathan the
fleeing serpent, With His
fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the
twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in
the sea. (NASB)
Speaking of the “day of the
Lord”, when the Lord comes back again to rule and judge
the earth, Isaiah says that the Lord will punish Leviathan
the dragon. Satan is
likened to leviathan, a serpent, and he is said to live in
the sea.
Revelation 13:1 And the dragon stood on the
sand of the seashore. Then I
saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten
horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten
diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous
names. (NASB)
Again the dragon comes out of
the sea, which is symbolic of the nations of the world,
but perhaps is also tied to a literal meaning. He
has multiple heads which are symbolic of the heads of the
nations of the end times, but he is also said to have
multiple heads before the symbolism of the nations of the
revived Babylon come into being, as recorded in Ps. 74:14
and Job.

Pre
Millennial and Post Millennial Doctrines Do Not Mix
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Many Christians today (having allowed themselves to be
diapraxed by false teachers on TV, in books, in seminars
and on tape) have begun to accept a mixture of Pre Mil and
Post Mil doctrines. Many claim they still hold to a
Pre Trib Rapture (or another Pre Mil scenario) and at the
same time would claim that Christians are in a great end
times revival, that "Transformation" is taking place all
over the world, and that our mandate is to retake dominion
over the whole world including its businesses, social
agendas and political arenas (a Post Mil scenario).
But what many "Christians" today do not realize is: the
mixture they have accepted is oxymoronic.

New Age
& Eastern Mysticism in the Churches
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
There are two kingdoms being taught in many
churches today. Teaching about one of the kingdoms is on
the decline while the other is being promoted all over the
place. I am warning Christians that they need to
check out who is using the word "kingdom", the books they
have been reading and recommend on building "the kingdom",
the people they have been hanging out with at conferences,
and what they mean by "the kingdom".

Why False Teachers Have So Many Followers
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
1 John 4:4-6
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them,
because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is
in the world. They are from the world
and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and
the world listens to them. We are from God, and
whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever
is not from God does not listen to us. This
is how we recognize the Spirit {Or spirit} of truth and the
spirit of falsehood.
The reason why false teachers, who deny one or more
of the core doctrines of the Faith, gain so many followers
is that they are saying what the world wants to hear.
They organize their churches so that they cater to
unbelievers, and once non Christians come in they are fed a
diet devoid of the essential nutrition of the Gospel and
sound doctrine. False teachers conduct surveys to see
what non-believers are looking for in a "church" and then
provide those things. False teachers claim they are
bringing people into the Kingdom when in fact they are
bringing them out of the world and back into the world, the
only difference now being that they are spending their money
in support of some apostate leader and/or group.

False
Apostles
of the New
Apostolic Reformation
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The NAR proponents claim to be foundational Apostles
to the modern church. This claim is exactly what Paul
warned the Church about regarding false apostles. The
term "false apostles" is used only once in the Bible in 2 Cor.
11:13. False apostles are identified as those who claim
they are equal with
the the foundational Apostles. The NAR proponents go
even further! They claim to be GREATER than
the original Apostles.

This DVD set is a message based on this
article.
Jude 1:1-2 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ
and a brother of James, To those who have been called, who
are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ:
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance. Jude was the
brother of Jesus Christ. But it is significant that he
calls himself the brother of James. Jude wants everyone to
know that, though he is a half-brother of Jesus Christ
through his mother Mary, he considers himself to be a
servant of Jesus. I’m sure there were those who tried to
idolize him for being the brother of Jesus Christ. If he
had the character of some of the current large crop of
false teachers, he would have written “Jude, the brother
of Jesus Christ.” I’m sure if some of these modern
heretics could trace their roots back to Christ, they
would use that information to get support for themselves
and power over people. But Jude does just the opposite. He
calls himself the servant of Jesus Christ. He is
addressing this letter to those who have been called, and
who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ.
So he is addressing this letter to Christians. God has
called every true believer.

A Word of Encouragement from Paul
Run the Race, Win the Prize
by Sandy
Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await
a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the
power that enables him to bring everything under his
control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will
be like his glorious body. Jesus Christ is coming
again. We are citizens of heaven, not this earth,
and Jesus will come to take us to our homeland. So
true believers eagerly await His coming, unlike those who
oppose the cross of Christ who think they must take
dominion over the earth or laugh at the idea of the
Rapture. There are many of them today. We know
that when Jesus comes, by His power, He will bring
everything under His control. We are not called to
do that as the Church. Jesus will do that when He
comes, and when He comes we will be changed and receive
our everlasting bodies that will never wear out.
1 Cor. 15:51-57 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not
all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet
will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we
will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself
with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
When the perishable has been clothed with the
imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the
saying that is written will come true: "Death has been
swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your
victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of
death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks
be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.

Entertainment-style Christianity
vs. Interactive-style Christianity
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
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 areheading down
the road to apostasy.
True
biblical
Christianity is "interactive". Those in ESC are
taughtto be spectators at mega-church entertainment
events. They are not taught the Bible but rather
to be enamored with the oratoricalskills 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,
topreachers 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. Theirsears are tickled by guest
speakers who make up sermons out of their own
imaginations instead of the written Word. They
are entertainedwith gold dust, gold fillings, "angel"
feathers, "angel" footprints, drunk in the spirit
antics, and during these displays they can go outand
get a latte and a snack at the church snack bar.
They come into these mega churches and leave without
being personally challengedother than with tired
worldly psychology, and without anyone being able to
find out what they are doing in their private
lives. A smallpercentage attend "cell groups"
where they are diapraxed into consensus instead of
challenged to be Bereans and think and act
forthemselves. They live like the world during
the week, then come to church where the world is not
only welcomed but accommodated.

Saturate 2020 adherants are those who are
drunk and think they can save the planet
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Commentators
seem to think that this section of Habakkuk was
addressing the Ceasars and
their drunken desire for power. Seems
these two things often go together.
Those
who love drunk in the spirit are no exception. They
are trying to get others to share in their debauchery
and the false hope of an end-times worldwide revival,
currently through the Saturate 2020 events. Though
these were two of the heretical distinctives of
the New Order of the Latter Rain, these ideas are
nothing new. The
righteous continue to live by faith, while the proud
boast in their drunken state.

A Warning about Saturate 2020
by Sandy Simpson & Marco
Quintana
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Saturate 2020 is another in a long line of
Latter Rain revivals which do not meet the criteria of a
Biblical revival at all (Acts 3:19). The
Toronto “Blessing” and Brownsville “Revival” both came
into towns all over the world with the promise that people
were getting saved and nothing weird was going on at their
meetings. This was always a lie as the true
Gospel was not preached but instead people were invited
forward to have hands laid on them in order to transfer an
impartation. Meanwhile false doctrines were
laid down in order to get people involved in churches like
Bethel Church in Redding, CA. We are warned in
Scripture about this.
Galatians
2:4 But it was because of the false
brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in
to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ
Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.
2
Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose
among the people, just as there will also be false
teachers among you, who will
secretly introduce destructive heresies, even
denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift
destruction upon themselves.
The fact that some formerly Biblical churches have joined
this circus is a testament to their lack of teaching
discernment. Some of these denominations were
warned repeatedly about the Latter Rain, Word of Faith and
the New Apostolic Reformation yet they apparently wanted
to remain “willfully ignorant”. The people
advertised as being involved with this latest “revival”
are almost all associated with Bethel in some way and
promoters of what they teach. This is not a true
Biblical revival but rather a revival of the occult and
New Age among Christians. This meeting is
actually hurting the cause of Christ and will not have any
real beneficial effect on the culture of California, which
has turned decidedly evil for
decades. These Dominionists
will not be saving the planet, but are rather setting
people up for the coming antichrist. Nor will
they rid the world of coronavirus, but rather likely add
to it.

Should Biblical Churches Be
Christocentric?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Should biblical Christian churches be
Christ-centered (Christocentric)? Should the doctrines
of the Father (Patriology) and the Holy Spirit (Pnematology)
also be equally emphasized? Can a church be
Patriocentric or Pnemacentric and be biblical?
The answer to these questions are quite simple
from a biblical perspective. There have been charges
leveled at some movements such as the Pietist Movement in
Germany and other movements that they place too much
emphasis on Christ to the exclusion of the Father and the
Holy Spirit. This may be true to a certain
degree. The doctrines of the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit must be taught with equal emphasis so that Christians
will know what they believe.
But should a church be Patriocentric or
Pnemacentric? No. For instance, there are far
too many churches today, having been influenced by
hyper-Pentecostalism and the Latter Rain, that are
Pnemacentric. They spend most of their time focusing
on the Holy Spirit to the exclusion of preaching the Gospel
while, in fact, they don't even have a biblical doctrine of
the Holy Spirit. I believe that because classic
Evangelicals, to a certain degree, dropped the ball in
defining the Person and role of the Holy Spirit it gave an
opening to Third Wavers to step in with their erroneous
ideas of Pnematology.

The
Letter to Laodicea
Is
a Warning to the TRUE Church Today
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Rev.
3:14-22 And unto the angel of the church of the
Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the
faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation
of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor
hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou
art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee
out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and
poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me
gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and
white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the
shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine
eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I
love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne,
even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father
in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Much has been made of this passage, using it to point
out what is happening today in the apostate churches
around the world. It is true that they believe
they are rich in spiritual things when they are very
poor. It can be applied in one sense to the Word
of Faith movement.
It is true that the "River" movement of Latter Rain
teachings do think they are hot when actually they are
cold.
But this letter to the end times
church of Laodicea is actually talking to biblical
Christians who are born again. The apostate
movements of the Latter
Rain, Third
Wave, Toronto
"Blessing", Vineyard, Brownsville
"Outpouring", Word
of Faith, New
Apostolic Reformation, World
Gathering on Indigenous People, Manifest
Sons of God, Seeker
Friendly, Church
Growth, Emerging
Church and many others have
already had their lampstands removed (Rev. 2:5) because of
their apostasy and have already been spit out of the
Lord's mouth (Rev. 3:16). We can know this because
of what the Bible says about those who teach false
doctrines (1 Tim. 6:3-5, 2 Tim. 4:3) and make false
prophecies (1 John 4:1). These false churches, false
movements and false brethren (Gal. 2:4) are already under
the judgment of the warnings of the seven
letters, as all but two of the original first
century churches are today (only the two who Jesus did not
warn still survive today). Therefore the letters
to the churches apply to those
churches who have not had their lampstands removed and
been spit out of the mouth of God because of heresy and
false prophesy. So the warning to the true biblical
churches today remains. Why is this warning
significant to us?
It
is significant because, by in large, it is the
true Church today that has allowed the movements
mentioned above to infiltrate and take over the agenda
for what is called "Christianity" today.

Jesus
Cares for You
by Sandy Simpson

This DVD is a message based o
n this article.
Read
Passage: John 6:1-15
The
story of the feeding of the 5000 is found in all the
gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. When something
is repeated in the Bible it means that it is important and
is something we must try to understand. There is often a
deeper meaning in sentences or stories that are repeated.
In
this same story repeated in Mark 6:34 it says:
"When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had
compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a
shepherd. So he began teaching them many things."
One of the main things that Jesus is... is compassionate.
He cares for His people. He was compassionate then and He
is still compassionate today. Jesus came and saw the needs
of the people. So He did two things. He met their physical
need of hunger for bread, and He also met their spiritual
hunger for the bread of life. As Jesus told us in John ...
He is the bread of life. The Bible, the Word of God, being
the word of the Father and the Son, is also the bread of
life. Jesus is the living example of the Word as it
also says in John "The Word was made flesh and lived among
us".

Upgrade
Your Old Hymns For The New Paradigm!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
HUMOR: Time for a rewrite of the old
hymns. In this day and age of Third Wave revival
movements and Word-Faith dominion, the old hymns just
aren't cutting it anymore. Not only are they old
fashioned musically, but the lyrics are, for the most
part, particularly depressing. They talk of sin, death,
repentance, the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole host
of other disgusting subjects. There are also too
many lyrics in them, frankly, which takes away from the
"worship" atmosphere. Repetitiveness is what we need, not
dead doctrinal concepts. The old hymns are just too
biblical. Give us a beat to move our feet, not concepts to
move our hearts and minds!
Here is a list of some hymns that could be
"upgraded" to meet the criteria of the Third Wave,
Word-Faith, Latter Rain, Manifest Sons Of God, New
Apostolic Reformation. This list is by no means
complete. If you don't recognize the hymns mentioned
perhaps it would be worth your time to go back and read
them, then compare what they say to the new doctrines.

Almost
Saved
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
“To be almost saved is to be totally
lost.” – Adrian Rogers
There are many so-called “Christians” today
who are clearly “almost saved” by their testimonies and/or
actions.But to be “almost saved” is to
be completely lost.A person who is
drowning and almost saved drowns.A
woman who is almost pregnant is not pregnant.King Agrippa
said, “You are almost persuading me to be a Christian
(Acts 26:28)” but being almost persuaded is not enough to
be saved.
The word “almost” means “very nearly”, “not
quite.” In light of this we may conclude that to come
close to the target, or “almost” hit it, means to
completely miss the mark. (Shalem

"Silence
the
noise of your songs"
by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 “I hate, I reject your
festivals, nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies.
“Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your
grain offerings, I will not accept them; and I will not even
look at the peace offerings of your fatlings. “Take away
from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to
the sound of your harps. “But let justice roll down like
waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Did
you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the
wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? You also
carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images, the
star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Therefore,
I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,” says the
Lord, whose name is the God of hosts. When I first reread
this passage in Amos, a few things struck me. First of
all the Lord is bringing judgment on Israel for carrying on
religious ceremony without true dedication to the
Lord. They sing songs and present their offerings
while harboring idols. I was reminded of how the Lord
must view the heretical apostate mega church celebrations of
today. There is a lot of pomp and circumstance, yet
little or no obedience to the Word of God. The Lord
does not look favorably upon worship of that type, no matter
the hype, no matter the noise, no matter the show. He
actually “hates” it.

How To Find A Good Church
by Sandy Simpson, 2003
Here’s how to find a good church. What
you need to find is a church that not only has orthodox
doctrinal statements but teaches, both explicitly and
implicitly, in line with the core doctrines of the
Faith. These are Bible-believing Christ-centered
churches that are balanced in their theology. Be sure
to test all churches before you become involved. It is
acceptable to get involved with a house church or Bible
study as long as there is someone who has the gift of
teaching there to lead the study of God’s Word.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own
assembling together, as is the habit of some, but
encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day
drawing near.
The Christian life is not one to be lived
alone. Trust me; I have sympathy for those who have
been spiritually injured by false churches, false prophets,
false teachers and false apostles. It is often a long
road back from the diaprax of heresy. But to undo the
brainwashing you will need help, especially from those who
are already ahead of you on your journey back. The
first century church was known for the following:
Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting
themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to
the breaking of bread and to prayer.
This is a good gauge to tell if you are
involved in an effective assembly of believers, no matter
how small. Remember that the first century churches
were in homes. In my experience smaller churches are
much better at doing the above and more. Avoid mega
churches.

This book was written by my mother and is
about my family's experience as missionaries in
Micronesia. Juanita went to be with the Lord in August
of 2018. This book has been a blessing to many people
around the world and I want to share it with you. - Sandy
Simpson
This
is the story of a young woman who goes to the ends of
the Earth with her pastor husband and two small
children. While describing the hardships of living in
a remote village on a remote Pacific Island in the
60's, it also gives us a vision of the joy the family
experienced as well. The heart of the book is the
story of how the author survives the death of her
husband and goes on to serve God and the Micronesian
people in her own right.This book reveals a woman of great
faith and courage. In addition, the book is well written
and a pleasure to read.Having
met the author, I will add that there are thousands of
people throughout Micronesia who love her and who have
benefited by her faithfulness and commitment over the
years. Read the book and get to know this wonderful

A Short History of
Dominionism
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In order to understand where the
modern fusion called “Dominioism”
comes from, I want to first give you definitions of
Kingdom Now, Dominionism
and Reconstructionism.
Dominionism
is sparsely defined as follows:
“Dominion
Theology (also known as Dominionism)
is a group of Christian political ideologies that seek
to institute a nation governed by Christians based on
their personal understandings of biblical law. Extents
of rule and ways of achieving governing authority are
varied. For example, Dominion Theology can
include theonomy, but
does not necessarily involve advocating Mosaic law as
the basis of government. The label is applied
primarily toward groups of Protestants in the United
States.” [1]
It is more closely
defined this way:
“Dominionism,
or Christian Dominionism
is a term coined by social scientists and popularized
by journalists to refer to a subset of American
Christianity that is conservative, politically active,
and believes that Christians should, and eventually
will, take control of the government. The term is
sometimes used as a “catch-all” by bloggers to
describe any politically active Christian, but not
every conservative, politically minded Christian is
a Dominionist.
Christian Dominionists
believe that God desires Christians to rise to power
through civil systems so that His Word might then
govern the nation. The belief that “America is a
Christian nation” is sometimes called “soft dominionism”; the idea that
God wants only Christians to hold government office
and run the country according to biblical law is
called “hard dominionism.” [2]
“Hard Dominioism”
as it is called in the above definition, is what C.
Peter Wagner (deceased) of the New Apostolic Reformation
(a term he coined) have been advocating, following the
teachings of the New Order of the Latter Rain and
Reformed Theology “Reconstructionism”.

Maturity Training
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Heb. 5:14 But
solid food is for the MATURE, who by constant use
have trained themselves to distinguish good from
evil.
At the core of maturity in Christ is the
issue of training to be able to distinguish between
good and evil, right and wrong. But in today’s
churches this issue has not only been downplayed, but
actually swept aside.
I run a website and get hundreds of emails
every week. Since the website deals with apologetics
against false teachers and false prophets, about half
the email I receive is blasting me for even bringing
up the issue. These emails are from “Christians” who
claim I am not “anointed”, don’t understand the work
of the Holy Spirit, etc. I am forced to remind them of
Hebrews 5 and Ephesians 4 and the biblical definition
of maturity in Christ. Maturity is not defined as
following dynamic speakers, running after people who
claim the ability to perform signs and wonders, those
with wealth, charismatic teachers with large numbers
of followers, those with name recognition, and
prophets who make wild prophecies. It is defined
simply as training ourselves to know the difference
between good and evil.
Where do Christians get solid food? From
voices in their heads, intuition, imaginations,
flights of fancy, signs, wonders? No. Solid food is
consumed by feeding on the meat of the written Word of
God.

The Use of Invective
in Apologetics
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This article is about the use of invective
while attempting to do apologetics or teaching
discernment. Invective is defined as a noun:
insulting, abusive, or highly critical language ie. "he let
out a stream of invective". I admit to using invective
at times in the past. My goal is to stop that practice
and focus on the facts, not attack an individual’s ability
to comprehend.
In the case of Christians, the first thing to
consider when doing apologetics is our mandate to reconcile
people to Christ, no matter who they are.
2 Cor. 5:18-21 Now all these things are
from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and
gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God
was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not
counting their trespasses against them, and He has
committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we
are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an
appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be
reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin
on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of
God in Him.

Ten Questions
For those who Claim the "Supreme Beings" of the Nations
are the True God
by Sandy Simpson
This booklet is taken from this
article!
I have some questions for those of the
World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP)
adherents such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss (deceased),
Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha KeAkua, YWAM as well as many in the
Emergent Church (EC) ... the questions arise from their
claim that the "supreme beings" of the nations are all the
True God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
You can read more on this subject in our book "Idolatry In Their Hearts" or in the WCGIP
section of my site.
My main question for
them is this: When did ANY of the Patriarchs and Prophets
in the Old Testament and the Apostles or Jesus Christ in
the New Testament EVER claim that the "supreme beings" of
the nations were Elohim/YHWH,
the one True God? Let's look at some examples in the
form of questions and you can check out the source links

Real Revival
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and
return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in
order that times of refreshing may come from the
presence of the Lord;
There has been so much hype of "revival" in
our modern day that it is easy to forget the true biblical
criteria and definition of revival. Revival cannot be
brought about by signs and wonders or "laying" on of hands
to transfer apostolic or prophetic "anointings". In fact
there is no such thing in the Bible.The Biblical criterion
for revival has, as a precondition, repentance. The word
"refreshing" is also defined as "revive".

Occult Practices in the
Churches
How the occult has been fully
integrated into many Christian lives and fellowships
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The Bible is quite clear about occult
practices.Neither Israel nor the
Church is to have anything to do with the way the world
tries to gain secret knowledge.The
Gnostics were and are known for promoting new revelation
that is either loosely tied to Scripture taken out ofcontext or not at
all.The Israelites seeking information
from the dead or in omens were judged harshly by the Lord
who had warned them numerous times to stay away from that
stuff.
Yet due to the influences of
heretical teachers in the New Apostolic Reformation, Word of
Faith, Emergent Church, and the
New Age many have been successful in getting lots of
churches and denominations into occult practices that have
been thinly disguised as “Christian�?.Many
of those who follow these people, I’m sure, have
no idea how far they have strayed into the occult.
First I want to give the
dictionary definitions and then Biblical warnings against
these practices.Then I will give
examples in the churches taken mainly from the ElijahList
e-newsletter.
List of Practices Detestable To God
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 “When you
enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you
shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those
nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who
makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one
who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or
one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who
casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist,
or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these
things is detestable to the Lord; and
because of these detestable things
the Lord your God will drive them out before you.
Isaiah
8:19When they say to you, “Consult
the mediums and the spiritists
who whisper and mutter,�? should not a peopleconsult their God?Should theyconsultthe dead on behalf of the
living?
Using
the
above list from Deuteronomy and Isaiah, let’s take a look
at each individual practice.

New
Important Book!
Dominionism!
How Unbiblical Action Can Change The
Churches
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp & Sandy
Simpson
Preface
By Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work are a
play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled “"Dominion!
How Kingdom Action Can Change The World". In contrast
to this specious claim we have titled this book
“Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The
Churches�?. We think that is far more in keeping with
what we will present in this series of articles and essays
on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been
changed by accepting the false teachings that constitute
Dominionism. This started decades ago under Reformed
Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain theology, but even before
that in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The attempt
of Constantine to protect Christians from being persecuted,
since he claimed he had become one of them, turned out to
begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It wasn’t
long before corrupt church officials began to try to seize
power all over Europe and beyond as the “Holy Roman
Empire�?. The Reformation itself was a reaction to the
lengths to which the RCC had gone to take control over the
Scriptures, the nations, the kingdoms, and the people for
financial gain. They sold indulgences, promising those
who came up with enough money a much shorter time in
Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used today on
what has been loosely called “Christian television�? by the
sale of trinkets and promises of healing, financial gain and
even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in
Dominionism. If it were true that the Church needs to
take over the planet, then we would be seeing the
unstoppable plans of God’s physical Kingdom unfolding.
But we do not. All we see are failed prophecies, empty
edicts and declarations coming from false apostles and false
prophets. They love to fool Christians with talk of
the “kingdom�? when it is clear they are talking about a
different “kingdom�?; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom
come. Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven�?. The
implication is that we are to be about building His
spiritual Kingdom while praying for and expecting His
physical Kingdom to come. The only way we can do that
is to continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not
attempt to rule where God has not given the Church the
authority to rule. Jesus will do that when He returns.
If we go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go,
we will not only miss out on the blessings of His Kingdom to
come, but may well be deserving of judgment.

Seeds, Soil & Fruit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.

Bad seeds from a bad tree yield bad fruit.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world,
and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The
weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows
them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age,
and the harvesters are angels.
Matthew 7:17 Likewise every good tree
bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Original sin is the bad seed in everyone.
We all start with a bad seed.
Jer. 17:9 The heart is deceitful
above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand
it?
Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,
Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as sin
entered the world through one man, and death through sin,
and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned
We need to have the bad seed destroyed and
replaced with good seed.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its
passions and desires.
Rom. 6:6 For we know that our old
self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might
be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves
to sin
1 Pet. 1:23 For you have been born
again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,
through the living and enduring word of God.
The good seed is the Word, the Gospel.
Luke 8:11 "This is the meaning of the
parable: The seed is the word of God.
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God
will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him;
he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Bad seeds are from the enemy and are full of
false doctrine and a false gospel.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world,
and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The
weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows
them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age,

Will the Real Blasphemers Please
Stand Up?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This subject is one so serious that I do it
with great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless, because I get
so many e-mails accusing me and other Bereans of blasphemy,
among other serious charges, I felt it was necessary to
clear up some issues on this topic. Because of my stand for
the truth of God's Word juxtaposed against all the false
teaching that is going on today, I think it is important to
do a quick study on what blasphemy is actually all about
from a biblical standpoint. There are many references
to blasphemy in the Bible and from them we can find out how
and why that term was used.
You will see that the word "blasphemy" in the
Scriptures is the very definition of what the false teachers
and false prophets are doing today!

"Glitter Christians"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Glitter Christians.
This is a name I came up with for people
attending and teaching at Oral Roberts University in the
70s. Even back then I had come to realize that their
way of representing Christianity was not in line with the
Scriptures. At that time I didn’t know that Oral
Roberts was carrying on the Word of Faith traditions of New
Thought practitioners such as Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth
Copeland, Essex Kenyan, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert
Schuler, and many other false teachers of the time.
Though I didn’t know anything about Word of Faith or New
Thought then I knew that the way they were representing
Christianity was just not right somehow. Their desire
to portray Christians as rich, beautiful, healthy, perfect,
and virtually sinless (holiness) went directly against the
example of Jesus, the Apostles and the early church.

I was driving along and noticing that spring
has sprung here in North Carolina. One of the first trees to
bloom is the Bradford Pear. I began to notice how that tree
has proliferated almost everywhere and then my wife looked
up the information on this tree on the web. As she began to
read the facts about this tree and its proliferation I began
to see an allegorical parallel to what is going on in much
of Christendom. But before I get into what the Bradford Pear
can show us about the churches, I need to present the facts
about the tree.

we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

The future of apologetics and
discernment ministries
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I admit that I am very
skeptical about the future of discernment and apologetics
ministries. I don't see the next generation coming up to
replace those who have stood for the truth for so long.
Fortunately many apologists have gone to be with the Lord
but who will replace them? I don't see replacements coming
up who will take the place of those who have been fighting
the fight the years. I run a web site where I collect
articles and materials from all over the world and present
them in a sort of Reader's Digest format so that people can
come to one place to get the latest information on heresies
in the churches as well as research past ones. What I've
seen in the last couple of years is that the production of
regular materials is declining to the point where it's
becoming difficult to find one article for my site to post
every day. Of course I write my own articles but don't have
enough time to write an article on a daily basis. I am very
concerned because of the tsunami of false ideas from the
enemy in the churches. At the same time, unfortunately, I
see a lot of younger people who don't even recognize anymore
that something is wrong.

Church History & The Core
Doctrines
by Sandy Simpson
This 4-DVD set is a combination of a condensed
study on Church History and the Discernment Toolkit series
which deals with the core doctrines of the Church and how to
use them to discern error. The Church History DVD takes
a different approach to Church History in that it does not
celebrate the Catholic Church but rather exposes it as false
Christianity. It covers World religions, false
Christianity and finally a study of the true remnant Church
through history following the story of the many martyrs who
stood up for true Biblical faith.

The "Weight of Glory"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a
far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (KJV)
This is both an incredible source of hope
for Christians who are downtrodden, and a source of
escalating heresy in many churches.It is critical that we
understand what Paul was talking about when he wrote the
phrase “weight of glory�?.Jacob Prasch has repeated this
phrase in his teachings over the years … “A text, out of
context, in isolation from co-text is always a pre-text."A
huge problem today is that individuals and movements tend
to yank verses out of their context and build a cult of
heresy around them.This is called eisegesis or plugging
your own ideas into the Scriptures instead of exegesis,
gaining understanding and interpretation of the Bible by
studying it in context and in the scope of the whole
written Word.

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In the introduction to Mike Oppenheimer's
and my book "Idolatry In Thier Hearts" I exposed the fact
that Don Richardson pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier
Hearts" to use as his book title from it's context in Ecc.
3:11. He did this to support his thesis, which
actually contradicts the second part of that verse, where
it states that man cannot fathom what God has done.
Richardson, rather, sets forth what has become the
foundation for the false teachings of the WCGIP, YWAM, a
number of Bible translation societies and the Emerging
Church ... the propostion that men from Gentile cultures
have always been seeking God and that Gentile cultures
were already worshipping the true God before missionaries
came with the Gospel.
But as I further investigated this verse I
found that Richardson even ignored the true meaning of the
FIRST half of the verse in favor of a few translations
that use the phrase "eternity in their hearts".

Christians who “turn away�?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for all this
her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with
her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. And the LORD
said unto me, “The backsliding Israel hath justified herself
more than treacherous Judah.�? (KJV) Israel had turned away
from the Lord and had gone after the gods of Canaan, namely
Baal and Asherah. Because Israel had
prostituted herself with false gods in worshipping the
polytheistic gods that started at Babel, God had declared He
was divorcing Israel and would send them into exile until
they again returned to the true God. But Judah prided itself
in doing what God had commended as they had Jerusalem and
the Temple. They disdained Israel for setting up
altars to Baal and Asherah poles on high hills. Yet
God was not fooled by Judah’s pretence. In the KJV it
says they were not worshipping God with their whole heart
but “feignedly�?.

Prophets for profit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do not
peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in
Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent
from God.
There are many false teachers on TV these
days who peddle the word of God for profit. They make
promises of healing that do not come true by claiming if
they are given a financial gift the person will receive
healing and riches. When what they promised does not
happen the person is blamed that they did not have enough
faith. This often destroys the faith of people who fall into
the traps of these snake oil salesmen. I have no
problem with people charging for their materials if they
cost to be produced, even though it is hoped that when a
person cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will
receive them free of charge. But the charges levied on
people for conferences and speaking engagements is often
excessive. A minister of God can ask for support and
deserves it if they are being diligent in their study and
proclamation of the Word. But experiences and feelings
often come with a price today and that is not right.

"Mistake" or "Sin"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Today we often hear the word "mistake"
coming from pulpits, and especially in defense of false
teaching and false prophesy. "Cut him some
slack! He just made some mistakes". "We all
make mistakes, so don't judge lest you be judged."
We even hear the word "mistakes" being substituted for the
word "sin" in many presentations of what I have termed
"Gospel Lite" today. So is it proper to substitute the
word "mistake" for the word "sin"? We'll look at the
problem of one word "mistakenly" being used for the
other.

Servant Authority
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The world system has always been a "top down"
structure, starting at the apex of the pyramid and going
down to the bottom. In kingdoms we have the king at the top,
then the princes, common people, slaves. In a democracy we
have the President at the top, the VP, the Sec. of State on
down to the citizens. In business we have the CEO at the
top, upper management, lower management, office workers and
the janitors. Unfortunately, sometime in the third
century, the church started to have a top down structure.
This is also when the church began to be in error. The
church of Rome began to have a "top down" structure that
started with the pope, then cardinals, then bishops, then
priests, then the people. Well, what about that? Eph
4:11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to
be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors
and teachers, This all sounds like a "top down"
structure. But the problem is that people have not seen an
important fact about these gifts of the Spirit -- man looks
at function and title, God looks at aim and goal! Read
on. Eph. 4:12 to prepare God's people for works
of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.
These are not gifts given for title or to give people job
descriptions. They are given because there are people out
there who need our help! The church needed the Apostles.
They were the ones who were the foundation of the church.
They were the ones who saw Jesus in the flesh and were
taught by Him personally. They wrote the New Testament
Scriptures. Though the gifts of apostle and prophet are
different today than in biblical times, the gift of
evangelism, pastoring, teaching and others are still the
same. A person who is an evangelist does not just have a
title so he can rule over people. The reason that he has the
gift to be an evangelist is so that he can tell others the
good news. Why do we have pastors? Are they supposed to rule
the church and get everyone to support them and bow to their
demands? No. They are to serve the church by helping people
to come to a fuller knowledge of Jesus Christ, to equip the
saints to become more like Jesus every day.
The true structure of Christianity is
symbolized as an inverted pyramid!

1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brethren, are

Will they simply lose rewards but still gain the ultimate
reward? What is this darkness that the brethren are
not in? 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5 While they are
saying, �Peace and safety!� then destruction will come
upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman
with child, and they will not escape. But you,

Generic and Specific
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In my article �Blasphemizing
the
Bible� I give a number of examples of how a lot of
modern Bible translation societies are putting the names of
�supreme beings� in the Bible in the place of God or YHWH.
In this article I'm going to examine two of the excuses they
make for making those substitutions in the Bible in many
hundreds of different languages today.
(1) They claim that God has many different
names and therefore they think they are justified in putting
the names of various gods of various cultures in Bibles, as
long as they are considered �supreme beings�.
(2) The second excuse they give is that the
names of the �gods� they are placing in the Bible are
generic terms for God, like the words �God�, �Theos�, �Dios�
and �Elohim�. By generic I mean a word that can be used for
any deity whether of the one true God or other false gods
who claim to be God.
I will go through both of these excuses and
show that they are both unbiblical, therefore the Bibles
they have translated with names of other gods in them, or
names they claim are generic, prove that they have
�blasphemized� those Bibles.

The Ugly Side of Diaprax
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
There has been a concerted effort by the
false teachers from many movements inside the church such as
Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)/Latter Rain,
World Gathering on Indigenous People and Emerging Church
among others to diaprax people into thinking that the church
has been ineffective until they came along with their new
and improved ideas on how to take over the world. This
is always a feature of the Hegelian Dialectical process put
into action by praxis, thus diaprax. In order to form
a new paradigm or worldview the leadership of these
movements must vilify orthodox Biblical Christianity.

Healer?
Heal Thyself!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this

A good subtitle for this article might be
"Practice What You Preach!" There is no doubt that God
can and does heal people today. But the false
doctrines of the Word-Faith Movement about "declaring"
healing, "name-it-and-claim-it", etc. have been proven to be
lies by the very people who sell this deceit. If you
don't know about where these famous "faith healers" go when
they need healing, you may be surprised. Why couldn't
they heal themselves when they purported to be able to heal
others by virtue of their superior faith? What
happened to the extraordinary faith they claimed to have,
enough faith to heal and be healed? Since they are the
ones who taught that all you have to do is claim the healing
that is in the Atonement (Is. 53:5) why did they not do
so? Don't their deaths prove that what they were
preaching was a lie and pragmatic witchcraft rather than
biblical relality?

God�s Attitude toward the �Supreme
Beings� of the Nations
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
It is quite clear from Scripture that YHWH
does NOT consider the �supreme beings� of the nations to be
Himself, the One True God. This is in opposition to
the teachings of Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard
Twiss and many others promoting the World Christian
Gathering of Indigenous People movement, Emergent Church and
Liberal theologies. I have proven this time and time
again in my articles on the subject but I am going to
consolidate the information from the Bible in this article
by studying the false gods named in the Bible. I am
sure I will not be able to cover every instance of supreme
beings mentioned in the Bible but I (1) want to deal with
some of the major ones (2) show you where they are found in
the Word, and (3) prove that they were the �supreme beings�
of those nations named by the patriarchs, prophets and
Apostles and that they were not monotheistic gods but
polytheistic in the tradition of Babel where the false
religion of polytheism first took root through the worship
of Nimrod and Semiramis.

You need to "nip it in the bud"!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I am writing this article to address a
subject that I have often observed. It is the fact
that if you do not get the leaven out of your church the
leaven will become the leadership.The Bible teaches quite
clearly that if you let the leaven in you will leaven the
whole lump.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven
leavens the whole lump of dough.
We see this often in the case of
many �Christian� movements that have allowed a small error
to exist in their churches and have not dealt with those
issues. It then ends up metastasizing into worse and
worse problems as time goes by.

The New Panentheistic "God" Of
Christendom
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Now, I bet you read the title of this article
and thought I had misspelled the word "pantheism".
Just so that those of you who write to me advising me of
words I have misspelled in articles (and I do often) I want
to tell you that I am using the term "panentheism" as coined
by Karl C. F. Krause. You can read more about this
word and concept in an excellent book called "A
Time Of Departing" by Ray Yungen.
There is a new "God" being promoted in the
Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and Word of
Faith movements whose teachers are regularly seen on TBN,
Daystar, SkyAngel, CBN and other "Christian" TV
networks. Some of those teachers even have, what would
be considered, a fairly typical statement of faith or
doctrinal statement they endorse. But by what they
teach they end up promoting a false unbiblical view of God,
especially through their actions and experiences. The
whole phenomenon of "slain in the spirit" and all the antics
that go with it are brainwashing an entire generation of
Christians to put their faith in another Jesus, another
Spirit, another Gospel. This new "Jesus" and "Holy
Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or panentheistic in
nature. Though some of these teachers would claim to
be believing in the God who is One God in Three Persons, by
what they teach they deny the very revealed character of God
from Scripture.

What Should I Say?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
booklet.
How do you answer an invitation to attend a
meeting where you know nothing about the speaker or what
will be done there? What happens if they want to announce
the meeting at your church and invite everyone? What do you
say to a person who tells you that you don�t have the Holy
Spirit even though you are a Christian? What should you do
if you think something is wrong, or your conscience is
bothering you about something that was said or done?
The answer?
Go to the Scriptures!
The Bible has all the answers to your
questions. This little booklet is an attempt to deal with a
few of the typical statements you will hear from people who
have become involved in the Third Wave revival movement. By
�Third Wave� I am referring to teachers, �prophets� and any
meeting associated with the Toronto �Blessing�, Brownsville
Assemblies of God, Rodney Howard-Browne, Benny Hinn, Kenneth
Copeland, Rod Parsley, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyers, Bethel
Church, Lakeland and many others who appear on the Trinity
Broadcasting Network and the 700 Club on TV.
Hopefully the statements and answers in this
booklet will set you off on an investigation of your own in
the Word. If you need help, and you have access to the
Internet, you can visit my web site called �Deception In The
Church� that deals with these issues and has the articles
mentioned in this booklet.

Luring People To Destruction
By The Unscrupulous Use Of The
"Gospel" Message
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
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.

Attack Of The Enemy
On The Churches
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So much heresy is entering the churches these
days. As you would suspect, sometimes it is due to a
pastor attending a conference or reading a book and becoming
diapraxed with unbiblical ideas. He then starts to
weave those ideas into his messages and begins to invite
speakers to the church who expound on those ideas.
Then when confronted by someone in the church who has
reservations about the new stuff being taught, they are told
to not talk about it and just go along with the
program. If that person does not they are ostracized,
slander behind their back, and often told to leave (which is
what they should do in any case).
But my observation is that it is not only the
pastor who causes unbiblical changes to influence a
church. Often the pastor is blissfully unaware of
influences coming into his church. They often come in
through (1) the worship team (2) women�s groups (3)
bookstore (4) children�s programs (5) interdenominational
prayer efforts and (6) relief and mission
organizations. If unchecked this type of infiltration
is much more subtle and can become deeply rooted.

Marks Of False Religion
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes
you captive through philosophy and empty deception,
according to the tradition of men, according to the
elementary principles of the world, rather than according to
Christ.
In context Paul is especially addressing,
though perhaps not to the exclusion of other false religion,
what had become the false religion of the Pharisees and
Jewish leadership. There were many Jewish so-called
�Christians� making the rounds among the fledgling early
churches who were trying to get the Gentiles to come under
the Law from which Christ had purchased their freedom.
John Gill states this case well in his commentary.

Universalism in the World
has Permeated the Church
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The current fad of interfaith solidarity
and unity is simply a thin guise of inclusivism,
Universalism and pluralism.
Universalism is defined by Dictionary.com
as: The doctrine that emphasizes the universal fatherhood
of God and the final salvation of all souls. (Source)
Universalism is a religion and theology that generally
holds all persons and creatures are related to God or the
divine and will be reconciled to God. (Source)
Pluralism is defined as: The doctrine that
reality is composed of many ultimate substances. �
The belief that no single explanatory system or view of
reality can account for all the phenomena of life.
(American Heritage Dictionary, (Source)
Inclusivism is: "Inclusivism posits that
even though the work of Christ is the only means of
salvation, it does not follow that explicit knowledge of
Christ is necessary in order for one to be saved. In
contrast to pluralism, inclusivism agrees with exclusivism
in affirming the particularity of salvation in Jesus
Christ. But unlike exclusivism, inclusivism holds that an
implicit faith response to general revelation can be
salvific. God expects from man a response proportional to
the light given. Saving faith is not characterized so much
by its cognitive content as it is by its reverent
quality." (Ken Keathley, None Dare Call It Treason:
Is an Inclusivist a Paul Revere or a Benedict Arnold? (Ken
Keathley, Assistant Professor of Theology and Philosophy
New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, (Source)
We deal with these old heresies brought
forward to modernity, these ideas that all men have have a
relationship with God that will cause them to be able to
avoid judgement in our book on the teachings of the World
Gathering on Indigenous People movement called �Idolatry
In
Their Hearts�. The idea that all men who
worship a �god� are worshipping the true God, YHWH, has
bubbled up to the very top of our societies and religions,
and even Christendoom, and should sound a warning alarm to
true Biblical Christianity. Instead, as usual in our
day, most Christians are asleep at the wheel while
Universalists claim that you can pray to a �god� like
Allah and be praying to the true Trinue God, YHWH. I also
dealt with the fact that Allah is not YHWH, both in our
book and in the article �Is Allah
The Same As YHWH?�.

What We Need Is A Reverse Paradigm
Shift!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I'm going to warn you now. I am going
to let you in on some information tonight that is going to
radically change your world view. You are likely going
to experience the beginnings of a reverse paradigm shift and
after tonight there will be no way to go back the way you
came. You will be faced with choices that you may
never have known you had. You will be faced with a new
way of looking at things that is going to cause you to
rethink everything that is being taught in the Emerging
Latter Rain churches. It is going to be radical
because the basis for this message doesn't come from Jesus
Christ visiting my room last night bodily, but from His holy
written Word. So buckle down your seat belts, you're
likely in for a bumpy ride!
Matt. 7:15-23 "Watch
out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep�s
clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their
fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from
thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good
tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A
good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot
bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit
is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit
you will recognize them. "Not everyone who says to me,
�Lord, Lord,� will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only
he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many
will say to me on that day, �Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons
and perform many miracles?� Then I will tell them plainly,

False Teachers Revisited
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I often receive requests to present updated
false teachings and false prophecies by the myriad of
heretics out there. We do try to keep up with all the
latest. But I have to remind people that those we have
exposed as false on our site have not repented of what they
have already done in the past, which is why they are still
on our site. So what they are doing now has no
relevance as to whether or not they are now to be considered
a true Biblical teacher. If and when they repent, that
is renounce their false teachings and false prophecies, make
restitution to those they have deceived, and begin to teach
sound Biblical doctrine we will give you that
information. As of now NONE of the people we have
exposed have repented of their Latter Rain, Word of Faith
teachings, heretical practices or their false
prophecies. But in the interest of helping you to
respond to a person who inquires by saying: "Those articles
are old and you need newer materials" well, here is some
newer stuff you can add to the pile. For you and me
this really makes no difference, but for those who are
living in deception perhaps it might demolish one of their
arguments against the truth.

Testing The Spirits
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Sometimes I really wonder why someone who
claims to be a Bible believing pastor, for instance, refuses
to listen to the truth. It frankly boggles my
mind. I don't know if it is as a result of the
postmodern paradigm or just that they have no love of the
truth left. I don't know how that can happen in a
truly regenerate person. You would think that the Holy
Spirit would confirm the truth to them, first in their
conscience, and finally through the written Word. But
these days it is a miracle if it gets that far. I
don't know if their conscience has been so seared that they
don't hear the Spirit or if they just don't want to know the
truth because then they would be responsible for it. I
know that I cannot know their motives or the reasons why
they reject truth and refuse to talk about false teaching,
but I do know one thing: we are called as true believers to
test the spirits. We must do this even if the result
is not to our liking or befuddles us as to the reasons.
1 John 4:1 Dear
friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
to see whether they are from God, because many false
prophets have gone out into the world.

Questions for Those Who Claim the
"Supreme Beings"
Of the Nations Are the True God
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this

I have some questions for those of the World
Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP) adherents
such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss
(deceased), Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM
as well as many in the Emergent Church (EC) ... the
questions arise from their claim that the "supreme beings"
of the nations are all the True God, YHWH, the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You can read more on this
subject in our book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" or in the WCGIP
section of my site. My main question for them is this: When
did ANY of the Patriarchs and Prophets in the Old Testament
and the Apostles or Jesus Christ in the New Testament EVER
claim that the "supreme beings" of the nations were
Elohim/YHWH, the one True God? Let's look at some
examples in the form of questions and you can check out the

How To Discern, Test & Judge

by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In running a web
site with thousands of articles, 1-2 million hits per
month from all over the world, and hundreds of e-mails per

terrible problem in Christendom today. The problem stems
from an existential subjective view of the world that has
filtered into the church from secular society, but also
from the teachings of heretical wolves who have taught an
entire generation of churchgoers completely unbiblical
methods of discernment or to get rid of any discernment
altogether.

information. If you start with a faulty foundation, as
you build your arguments, they begin to fall apart because
they are not supported in God"s truth. If you want to
build on a firm foundation, you need to start the process by
a careful study of God"s Word in context of the verse and
according to the whole counsel of God"s Word. The
Bible is the best commentary on the Bible.

Karma (by any other name)
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
According to Wikipedia:
"Karma means action, work or deed; it also
refers to the principle of causality where intent and
actions of an individual influence the future of that
individual. Good intent and good deed contribute to
good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad
deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering.
Karma is closely associated with the idea of rebirth in
some schools of Asian religions. In these schools,
karma in the present affects one's future in the current
life, as well as the nature and quality of future lives -
or, one's samsara. With origins in ancient India, it is a
key concept in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism,
Taoism, Shintoism, Ching Hai and others."(emphasis mine)
Mirram-Webster defines it this way:
the force created by a person's actions
that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism to determine
what that person's next life will be like: the force
created by a person's actions that some people believe
causes good or bad things to happen to that person
Given the definitions of "karma" above, this
same idea, usually without the reincarnation aspect in
Christian circles, has been taught for decades in New
Thought movements such as the Positive Thinking/Positive
Confession teachings of Norman Vincent Peale & Robert
Schuller, the Word of Faith ideas of Essex Kenyan, Kenneth
Hagin, Kenneth
Copeland and Benny
Hinn, the mixture of Eastern Mysticism and
Christianity by Korean false teachers such as the "force of
faith" Paul
Yongii
Cho, and newer renditions and fusions by people like Joel
Osteen, Joseph
Prince, T.D.
Jakes (recently agreeing with Oprah Winfrey who
teaches karma on her WHO network), and others such as Ernest

His Name, The Only Name
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will be king
over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD,
and his name the only name.
The reason I wrote this article
based on Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of how many
so-called Christians, who are influential in the churches,
are promoting the worship of God in the names of other gods.

Replacement Theology On Steroids
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So, as you can see, the root of this
teaching is that Israel no longer holds the distinction of
being the tree from which the Root of David (Jesus-Rev.
5:5, 22:16) came. They are no longer the "natural
branches" (Israel-Rom. 11:21) on to which Gentile
Christianity (the wild shoots-Rom. 11:17 or wild
branches-Rom. 11:24) are grafted in (Rom. 11:17-24).
According to Replacement Theology, Christianity has now
become its own branch apart from Israel (the natural
branch) that produced the Root and all the promises of the
Bible to Israel have been taken away from them and given
to the Gentile Church. This is why you hear so many
false teachers taking verses out of context from the Old
Testament and willy-nilly applying them to the Gentile
Church. This methodology has been going on for
decades in liberal churches and has been popularized by
many false teachers on TV. But the fact is that
Replacement Theology is utter false doctrine. It
denies promises made to Israel, some of which have already
been fulfilled and some which are yet to come to fruition.
But when you add the fact that the Inclusivist WCGIP
proponents are now saying that God planted hundreds of
different trees, cultures all over the world, that are not
connected to the natural branch, tree and Root, you have
what can only be termed Replacement Theology on steroids!

Those Who Do Not Lead Christians to
Maturity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The Scriptural definition of maturity is to
learn to discern truth from error so that the Christian will
no longer be double minded, blown about by every wind of
teaching and by the schemes of crafty people. But the
problem today is that so few Christian teachers are feeding
their flock's solid food. They are serving up milk
and, because of that, people are starving. Yet they often
don't even know they have been on a starvation diet.
Amos 8:11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign
Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land -
not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine
of hearing the words of the Lord."

"... and all liars"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Lying is a problem for all people (Ps.
116:11). We are all sinners (Rom. 3:23). Those
of us who are Christians are "sinners saved by grace" (Eph.
2:8) indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our "new self" (Col.
3:10). But we still live in our "old self" which we must
"put off" (Eph. 4:20-25) by taking up our cross daily and
following Christ (Luke 9:23). The difference between
unbelievers and those who are truly born again is that
believers no longer "practice sin" (1 John 3:9, see my Bible
study on 1 John!) They have the indwelling Holy Spirit
(Rom. 8:11) who convicts them when they lie (John 16:8).
True believers then repent (1 John 1:9) and go on to
"practice righteousness" (1 John 2:29) with the Lord's
help. The unregenerate, the false brothers, or those
who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4, Mark 4:17), practice
lying. They practice a lifestyle of lying because
their consciences are seared (1 Tim. 4:2) and the Holy
Spirit, when convicting them, cannot break through the
hardness of their unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb.
3:13).

Four Books That the Enemy Has Used
To Corrupt Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The four books that have changed the church
by giving an introduction to the false teachings of the New
Apostolic/Latter Rain (NAR), the Emerging
Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism (EC), pragmatic
Church Growth (CG) methodologies of C. Peter Wagner, Robert
Schuller and Peter Drucker, and the teachings of the World
Christian Gathering on Indigenous People (WCGIP) are as
follows:
Surprised by the Power of the Spirit by Jack
Deer, Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster, Purpose
Driven Church by Rick Warren & Etnerity In Their Hearts
by Don Richardson.
These four books were widely read by
Christians from virtually every denominational background
before their ramifications and the movements they would
spawn were known. They lay error alongside truth so
were considered not to be a threat to churches.
Therefore these books then became part of the consciousness
of many Christians and churches, thereby laying the basis
for the introduction of the modern day false teachings of
the NAR, EC, CG and WCGIP that have become part of the
landscape of Christendom today.

Night Marchers and UFOs on the Big
Island
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
With the resurgence of the old religion of
Hawaii and the continual invocation of Pelé and other
"deities" for years in the secular culture and even in
churches with regards to worshipping 'Io, is it any wonder
that those beings are beginning to manifest again? In a
story called "Night
Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in a YouTube
video on the same subject, eyewitnesses claim all
kinds of sightings that they think are the warriors,
ancestors and demi-gods of Hawaii coming back.
Interestingly the
first
book the Hawaiian Heritage site recommends in its
"Suggested Reading" list is "Perpetuated
in
Righteousness" by Daniel Kikawa that we reviewed in
our book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" by Sandy Simpson and Mike
Oppenheimer. Since Kikawa claims that 'Io is the True God
and one that the Hawaiians worshipped in secret, we have
to wonder if Kikawa also thinks 'Io is showing up in these
night marches? Since YWAM, Aloha Ke Akua and Hilo New Hope
participated in worshipping 'Io at the "edge of
Hale-ma'uma'u Crater" it sounds like they have all been
inviting the old "gods" to return to Hawaii.

"They Will Believe
The Lie"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I am doing a Bible study right now on what I
would call "renewing our minds". It is based on this
verse:
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern
of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's
will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The only way to renew our minds is to believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess our sins, and be saved,
then to study the written Word and allow the indwelling Holy
Spirit to teach us. Our minds are corrupted by virtue
of the sin nature and what we have learned in life because
our filters are off. I gave an illustration of straining
coconut to make coconut milk. If you use a 1 inch
screen everything will pass through. Even if you use a
quarter inch screen you will get mostly coconut meat in your
milk. You have to use a fine screen in order to
separate the milk from the leftover. Our filters are
off and the first thing God begins to do is correct our
worldview, because if your worldview is off you will not
understand God's reality. We need to learn to see
things from His perspective. This is why I started
this study by going back to an original problem.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming of the
lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He
will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and
wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that
wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish
because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that
they will believe the lie and so that all will be
condemned who have not believed the truth but have
delighted in wickedness.
This has always been an interesting passage
to me for a few different reasons. What is "the lie"
that is talked about here in verse 9 and 11? What are
the ways that "wickedness deceives those who are perishing"
and how long has this been going on or does this only begin
to happen at the coming of the lawless one? In what
way does "the lie" cause those who do not believe the truth
to "delight in wickedness"?

heresies and doctrines of demons. It is being spread
worldwide by YWAM, Don Richardson, John Dawson, Richard

adherents. The IPM or World Christian Gathering On
Indigenous People is full of the false teachings of the
Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), Word-Faith,
Dominionism, Latter Rain and many other false theological
systems. But it does have it's own distinctives that
are driven by the works of Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss, and

Christians to "redeem" their cultures by worshipping their
former gods, pretending they are YHWH.

"Christians" Who Try To Poke Holes
In Sola Scriptura
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article: "Christians" Who Try To Poke
Holes In Sola Scriptura
There are a number of the leadership of
the Emerging Church (EC) who do not believe that the Bible
is the highest authority for the Christian faith.
Most do not believe that the Bible is inerrant in the
original manuscripts and many do not acknowledge that the
Bible is our highest revelation. Yet this is a core
doctrine over which true believers and false brethren must
separate. Those who try to poke holes in Sola Scriptura
make excuses like (1) we need to reinterpret the Bible
through the lens of postmodern culture and religion (2)
the Bible never uses the words "Sola Scriptura" therefore
it is not a Biblical concept (3) there is new revelation
for the church through the Holy Spirit apart from what is
written and the precepts of the Bible and (4) the Bible
just doesn't address our postmodern situation therefore we
cannot rely on it for the truth and answers for our
problems today. I will prove that all the above
arguments, and more, from EC leaders and others is exactly
what they are teaching. I will give you quotes from
their teachings, videos and books. The postmodern church
and its "movements" are abandoning Sola Scriptura in their
rush to be like the Roman Catholic Church, which takes its
authority from a mix of Scripture and tradition.
"As a result the Church, to whom the
transmission and interpretation of Revelation is
entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all
revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both
Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with
EQUAL sentiments of devotion and reverence." (Roman
Catholic Catechism, Given October 11, 1992, the thirtieth
anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican
Ecumenical Council, in the fourteenth year of my
Pontificate. Page 31).

The Question Of Dominion
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article: The Question Of Dominion.
I am writing this article as an apologetic
against the Third Wave, Latter Rain, Word of Faith and
Reformed Theology teachings that the Church is to rise up
and take over the systems of government, businesses and
every other aspect of life. "See, the problem is, is that
Satan has had too much of his way in our society because
he has a government! And the only way to overthrow a
government is with a government. It won't happen
otherwise. So therefore the government of the church
has to get into place in the extended church just like we
do have it very well in place, we haven't reached our goal
yet ..." (Transcript of C. Peter Wagner, Arise
Prophetic Conference, Gateway Church, San Jose, CA,
10-10-2004) Wagner has substituted the "government of the
church" for the coming government of Jesus Christ in the
Millennial Kingdom. Wagner is "Kingdom Now" while
the Bible teaches "Kingdom Come". What I wanted to do with
this article is put the issue of dominion to rest by
studying the definition the Bible gives to dominion and
ruling authority. When we look at the subject we can
easily ascertain what is going on today and what God
requires of the Church.

Shepherd Or Hireling?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the article: "Shepherd
Or
Hireling?"
The Bible lays out the definitions of both
an overseer (under shepherd) and a hireling. John
10:11-13 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd
giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling,
and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth
the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and
the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The
hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not
for the sheep. (KJV) 1 Tim. 3:1-3 Here
is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being
an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer
must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife,
temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able
to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but
gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. (NIV)
Titus 1:7-13 Since an overseer is entrusted with
God's work, he must be blameless, not overbearing, not
quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not
pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one
who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright,
holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the
trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can
encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who
oppose it. For there are many rebellious people, mere
talkers and deceivers, especially those of the
circumcision group. They must be silenced, because they
are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought
not to teach - and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
Even one of their own prophets has said, "Cretans are
always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons." This testimony
is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will
be sound in the faith. (NIV) A hireling does not really
care about being a watchman, but is more concerned with
protecting his reputation, position and income. A
true watchman will guard the flock against wolves from
within (Acts 20:30) and without (Acts 20:29) no matter the
cost to his reputation, position or income. Following is a
little quiz you can take to see if you are a true Biblical
under shepherd as a leader in your church, are becoming a
hireling, or are one now.

Testing Music In The Church
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on these articles:
Testing
Music
In The Church, Testing
Music
In The Church-Part 2, and Worship
Song
Ratings.
Too many churches today are allowing music
to be used in their services that is not glorifying to the
Lord and can actually be a hindrance to the teaching of
sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should be using their
leadership role to test what is being played and sung in
their churches. Though some are quick to test preaching
and teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the music
being used in the same services. This is a tragic mistake.
Music is a powerful medium. It is something that effects
deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven fact
that music often stays with a person far longer than what
is taught or preached. Songs roam around in our heads,
especially if the melody appeals to us. What is often
overlooked is the serious impression music makes on
people, and the teaching they are getting over and over
again as they allow the song to repeat in their minds and
on their lips. Music teaches things much more subtly yet
sometimes far more effectively. That's why the lyrical
content of music in the church, as well as its effect on
the spiritual lives of those who perform and listen,
should be vigorously examined by the leaders of the
church. This is a 2-DVD set.

Examine Yourselves & Hold On!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the articles "Examine Yourself To See If
You Are In The Faith" and "Hold
On!"
2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves
to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.
Do you not realise that Christ Jesus is in
you - unless, of course, you fail the test?
People who call themselves followers of
Christ or "Christians" and claim they are born again must
believe certain things. If they do not then they fail
the test of faith. They can claim they are born again
all they want and "once saved, always saved" but if they
fail the test of faith there is no eternal security.
Only God knows who will be saved, from beginning to end,
because of His foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom. 8:29, 1
Pet. 1:2). God did not make an arbitrary judgment
about who would be saved and who would not. His Spirit
is given to those He foreknew, when convicted of sin by His
Holy Spirit, would choose to believe and commit themselves
to Jesus Christ. We are not God and we do not have His
omniscience. Therefore, according to Paul, we must be
sure our belief system is in the right place once our eyes
have been opened to the Truth. I am not saying we do
not have assurance of salvation, but our assurance comes not
only because of His Atonement and promises of salvation but
from our continuing in the Faith, which is always the
Biblical criteria. Those who would be Bible teachers must
teach according to the whole counsel of God's Word.
Let me be clear. There is only one way to salvation.
That is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ
alone. I will deal with a few of those issues
following, but it is important to recognize that being saved
is not just a matter of believing that Jesus lived, or that
He was a man, or simply giving mental ascent to His
existence in whatever form.

"Blasphemizing" The Bible
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I am going to go over an article I wrote back
in 2006 in preparation for the book I wrote with Mike
Oppenheimer called 'Idolatry in Their Hearts'. This
book is an apologetic against the false teachings of the
World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People movement, the
Emerging Church and the New Apostolic Reformation which got
their ideas from the book "Eternity in Their Hearts" by Don
Richardson. At the time that book came out no one
really saw the dangerous ideas Richardson was
promoting. All they would have had to do was look at
the two subtitles of that book to understand the
implications. The first subtitle in the 1981 edition
read: The Untold Story of Christianity among Folk Religions
of Ancient People. Those who read this book found some
interesting cross-cultural ideas but apparently missed the
false premise of the book starting with the subtitle. How
could Christianity be "among folk religions" where the
Gospel had not been preached (Rom. 10:14-15)? At that time
Christians who read the book were apparently satisfied that,
though there was some questionable material present, it made
for an interesting discussion on how to do cross-cultural
ministry. The subtitle it has today, which was first
published in 1984, is as follows: Startling Evidence of
Belief in the One True God in Hundreds of Cultures
Throughout the World. This should have been a red flag
for many Christians but then, who reads subtitles? But
how could the "One True God" be known to Gentiles who did
"not know God".

Resources For Pastors
including
"Good English Bible Translations"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I was talking with a pastor after a Wednesday
night service and he mentioned that I said I had done an
article comparing English Bible translations. He
called me up later and asked me to come back and present the
contents of that article I sent out in about 2002 to my
mailing list for the Pacific Waves Newsletter which,
unfortunately, I can no longer afford to publish and
mail. However an archive of past issues of that
newsletter can be found here.
In that article I detailed a number of good and bad
resources for pastors including Bible translations,
concordances, commentaries, Bible dictionaries, etc. I
present an edited version of part of that article on this
DVD, particularly dealing with English Translations of the
Bible. Translation is a very detailed endeavor and
should only be undertaken by those with a proper education
in that subject and a sound doctrinal background. I
read a few books on that subject and it helped me understand
the complexities involved. Hebrew is a rich language
so it is hard to distill one Hebrew word down to one English
word. Greek is a very technical language and it is
also not easy to translate. This is why it is
imperative to use the good English translations out there
for comparison along with a good concordance and Bible
dictionary.

A TALE OF TWO KINGDOMS

From Church To Emerging Church
DVD Series
by Sandy Simpson
The issue of the Emerging Church and it's
introduction into many churches and mission organizations
has reached a critical point. Many do not undersand
what is being leavened into churches by the EC
leadership. Many would be shocked to know their belief
systems involve Universalism, New Age, defense of
postmodernism, Interfaithism, and many other false
doctrines. In order to reach out to this generation
the EC leadership is proposing a whole new "map" to deal
with what they perceive is a lack of understanding on the
part of the churches on how to communicate. EC
proponants believe the "scripture" for today is evolving and
must change in order to reach postmoderns.

understand the Gospel from the stars? Did God create man's
cultures? Has God always been in the process of redeeming
cultures from the time of Babel by placing in them a true
revelation of Himself? Is there the worship of YHWH in all
cultures and religions through the names of supreme
beings? Have all cultures always had a way to make
things right between them and God? These questions and many
more are answered in this book that addresses the false
teachings of The New Apostolic Reformation regarding
missiological methods as being carried out by many agencies
including the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous
People, YWAM, and many Bible societies.

Lessons In Forgiveness
Great Study!
by Sandy Simpson
Through the years I
have been presented with many opportunities to forgive.
Sometimes the situation was so severe that it took me
some time to forgive and start the process of healing
for myself, and eventually for others. I learned that a
Christian needs to forgive other people even if they
have not repented of their sins. That can be really hard
if we let it be hard. But if we give our burdens over to
the Lord, He will carry them and that frees us up to
treat other people with love, compassion, and be in the
right frame of mind and heart to set them up for
reconciliation with Jesus Christ. That does not mean we
tolerate their sin. We simply forgive them for what they
have done to us, whether perceived or real, and move on
to looking for ways to redeem them. We can then present
to them the "truth in love" even when we have to rebuke
them.

A Different
Gospel? by Sandy Simpson, 1997
Does the Brownsville, Pensacola/Toronto
"Blessing" phenomenon in Micronesia square with Scripture?
Answering "Counterfeit" Revival
Leader, Rev. John Kilpatrick by Sandy Simpson,
1997
"This is an article by Rev. John Kilpatrick of the
Brownsville Assembly of God, Pensacola, FL. It was a letter in
response to critics of what is going on at his church. First,
I will give you the full text of his article. Then I will give
you my side-by-side answers to his questions and comments."
Kilpatrick's Deceitful "Apology"
To Hank Hanegraaff by Sandy Simpson, 1997
Here is a perfect example of why no one should sit under the
teaching of this false prophet and liar. The original text of
the letter by Rev. John Kilpatrick of Brownsville AOG that is
offered as a public apology to Hank Hanegraaff for cursing him
and his ministry is offered here with my comments as well as
quotes from his original message.
Another Story Is Exposed To The Light
by Sandy Simpson, 1997
"Another Veil Is Torn In Two" is an article about an event
that took place at a Toronto "Blessing" type church in Houston
that has been passed around since October 1996. What I would
like to do is quote from the article and give you my comments
in bold as we go along. There are some factors involved in
this "sign and wonder" that make it very hard for me to
believe that this is a sign from God."
Unbiblical Doctrines, Teachings and
Phenomena of the Third Wave Counterfeit Revival Movement
compiled by Sandy Simpson, 1997
A document compiled from a few sources to give Christians a
resource to cut through the issues involved in the "counterfeit"
revival. This paper includes a short list of unbiblical
doctrines, teachings and phenomena observed and documented in
the Toronto "Blessing"/Pensocola "Outpouring" movement. Please
refer to the document called "Influence Links Of The Third Wave
Movement" for a more comprehensive list of the heretical
doctrines of the Third Wave. This paper also features guiding
principles on how to determine unbiblical doctrines, whether or
not we are to test and judge as Christians, and practical
guidelines on how to counsel people who have had emotional,
physical and spiritual damage from this movement or have been
demonized as a result of being "slain in the spirit" or at the
"laying on of hands".
Scriptures That Confirm That
Christians Can Be Demonized by Sandy Simpson,
1997
Many Bible references to Jews and Christians who were demonized
or warned of demonization. This supports the theory that many of
the manifestations evident in the "counterfeit" revivals may
well be of satanic origin.
John Kilpatrick Of Brownsville AOG,
Pensacola, FL Is Now OFFICIALLY A False Prophet! by Sandy Simpson, 1997
July 4, 1997 has come and gone and Hank
Hanegraaff is still alive and his ministry is doing fine. Here is
how Hanegraaff responded to this ugly false prophesy. Brothers
and sisters in Christ -- now is the time to decide. For those
of you attending Brownsville "Outpouring" meetings in
Pensacola ... are you going to continue to willingly sit under
the teaching and prophesy of this man in this church or allow
people under your accountability to do so? Is the Assemblies
of God going to take scripturally appropriate action in this
matter? Here is their official response when asked recently to
comment on the Pensocola "Outpouring" in a letter from
Thomas E. Trask, General Superintendant of the
Assemblies Of God (this letter is no longer available.
It was orginally located at: http://www.pentecostal-issues.org/journal/brownsville/general.htm)
Here is another
one in support of Brownsville from Trask. What about the
rest of the false teaching and prophesy of this "counterfeit"
revival movement? Check out my compilation of quotes in an
article called "By Your Words" - Quotes From Third Wave
Leaders" for just a small dose of the false teaching from the
leaders of this movement. It's time to take a stand on this
matter, fellow Christians! Time to be counted. No more
wishy-washy "well, there are good and bad things in this
movement but it's basically good" or "I'd rather see the devil
and flesh manifested in church than nothing discernable
happening at all". This is not an issue that can be "balanced"
away by a good old American sense of "fair play". We as
Christians are to hold to the objective truth of God's Word,
or else we cannot call ourselves Christians. It's time for the
true body of Christ to be heard on this matter. Where is the
outcry? Where is the indignation that this man has dared to
make false prophesies about the demise of a fellow Christian
and attribute them to a conversation he had with God Almighty?
Has the Christian community been silenced in fear of being
labeled "mockers" by Steve Hill in his book "The God Mockers"
when, in fact, all Christians should hold to and defend sound
doctrine as did the Bereans when they tested what was being
taught to them? Where is the disgust at the fact that
Kilpatrick made a deceitful apology denying that he prophesied
and published it all over the Internet? Where is the outrage
that he now continues to spread false stories in his church
about Hank Hanegraaff? Where is the ire of God's people when
this man dared to presume to order God around by speaking
false "proclamations" "into God's ears"? What is your
response, people of God? We had better start cleaning house
before thousands of children and youth are exposed to the ugly
manifestations, deceitful testimonies, false teaching and
false prophesy of this "counterfeit" revival movement!
Reinhard Bonnke - Prophesy Of The
False Prophet by
Sandy Simpson, 1997
There is a possible, yet somewhat tenuous connection between
Lord Maitreya and the "counterfeit" revival. The connection
hinges on the following prophesy by evangelist and healer,
Reinhard Bonnke, who has been doing crusades in Africa for quite
some time. Bonnke was the evangelist in Uhuru park in Nairobi
who prophesied on a Thursday, three days before Maitreya's
appearance in a Muslim Village, Kawangware, Nairobi, ... that
God had, on Thursday, informed him that the Nairobi Muslim
citizens would "experience the presence of Jesus and great
miracles on Saturday..." It is interesting that Rodney
Howard-Browne got his "anointing" from Bonnke. Howard-Browne
then laid hands on most of the leaders of the current
"counterfeit" revival. If this chain is accurate, this casts a
very disturbing light on the reasons for all the mind numbing,
eastern-religion-type tactics of this movement. This may indeed
be part of an overall plan to seduce Christians to receive the
False Prophet when he declares himself.
Maiterya's New Logo Symbol
by Sandy Simpson, 1997
This is purportatdly Maitreya's new logo. Here's the animated
version.You will notice that it can be seen as having 666
elements. The basic six-pointed star is made up of two pyramids.
On each six point are six logos. The first seal is the
I-Ching/yin-yang as the center for a lotus flower with an
embedded swastika. This is the same as the center seal. The
second seal is a star of David of Israel. The third seal is the
cross of Christianity, the fourth seal is the cresent moon of
Islam with an I-Ching in the middle of the star. The fifth seal
is the nine-pointed star of Baha'i. The sixth seal is allegedly
the seal of the "Elects" which is basically a star of David with
a rising sun embedded with a swastika. You will notice that he
I-Ching symbol itself is made up of six elements. The lotus
flower petal represents the seventh level of "chakra" called the
Soma/Sahasrara Chakra where a person allegedly becomes one with
the universe. "The seventh trumpet is representative of the
event when the Aquarian experiences the Soma/Sahasrara Chakra
activation." On the day of
declaration Maitreya will likely announce himself with the
blast of a "shofar",
the Jewish "Jubilee" trumpet, signaling the year of Jubilee
2000. At the blast of this "shofar", all who have been initiated
into Kundalini-type
experiences and manifestations, such as Hindu mystics,
Tibetan monks, channelers, mediums, witches, witch doctors,
voodoo preists, satanists, transcendental meditationists,
"counterfeit" revivalists and many others will have their
highest "chakra", the Soma/Sahasrara Chakra, "activated" and
will hear Maitreya speaking to them
in unison in their minds. When they realize that people from
many religions are hearing the same thing, they will assume that
the "anointing" is on "all men" and that Christ has returned to
earth. This will unify them together as the world church under
Maitreya, the False Prophet. This will likely usher in the
Tribulation.

"By Your Words"
- Quotes From Third Wave Leaders by Sandy
Simpson, 1997
Here is a list of quotes from leaders in the Third Wave and
"counterfeit" revival movements. This page will provide you the
documented evidence you need to determine whether or not the
people listed on this page are teaching false doctrine and/or
making false prophesies. This is a dynamic document -- it will
continue to grow as new quotes are made and other leaders added.
So stop by and check this paper from time to time for more
quotes from Third Wave leaders. Don't miss the new quotes on
William Branham and Kathryn Kuhlman, two of the key mentors who
passed along their "anointing" to the Third Wave "counterfeit"
revival movement.
Influence
Links
Of The Third Wave Movement by
Sandy Simpson, 1997
This is a comprehensive look at the roots, branches and fruit of
the Third Wave movement. It traces the heretical doctrines all
the way back to gnosticism and mystical eastern religions to
churches, individuals and movements within what is termed the
"Third Wave" or "counterfeit revival" movement. This is a work
in process, bringing together quotes and information from a wide
array of sources. Hopefully this will give the reader a clearer
picture of what the doctrines are that are driving the Third
Wave. It is a large document, so you will have to wait for it to
load!

The
Battle of the Hinnites by Sandy Simpson, 1998
"The man of iniquity is about to be revealed. False teachers
like Benny Hinn are merely setting the stage for the final
apostasy that is coming. All the world's religions will join
together in the "anointing" that is not of the Holy
Spirit, and have one big millennium party. The sad thing is
that, over the shoulder of the Third Wave, even while they are
fiddling their lives away, the rest of the world will be
crashing and burning in sin and doomed to ultimate damnation."
Benny Hinn Claims "A Dead Man
Raised" In Ghana by Sandy Simpson, 1998
Here's an e-mail we recently received about Benny Hinn's
appearance in Ghana, where he claims a dead man was raised from
the dead. Upon closer inspection, it never happened.
The Dangers Of The Alpha Course
by Sandy Simpson, 1998
"The Alpha Course, though teaching some truth, also lays
truth alongside error. The wooing of people using the
gospel message, only to later enslave them in ritualism, works
salvation, and occult manifestations is one of the great
deceptions of our time. One of the cleverest ploys of
the enemy in our day is to allow "unprincipled" men to use the
salvation message as an enticment to unsuspecting and
untrained people, thereby enabling "the devil a foothold" for
fleshly manifestations and temptations in their lives.
The men who designed this course are laying error alongside
truth, introducing error secretly ("pareisaxousinin" in Greek)
the result of which will ruin the faith of the believer in the
end. The Bible says of this process: "But there were
also false prophets among the people, just as there will be
false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce
destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who
bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves." (2
Pet. 2:1) Beware of the Alpha Course!" Read this

Ecumenism -
Where Do You Draw The Line? by
Sandy Simpson, 1998
"This is a short essay to illustrate just how unbiblical,
subjective and relativistic Ecumenism really is.
Ecumenism starts innocently enough. Is begins with a tolerant
perspective of other denominations. Then it moves on to
cults. Finally it ends in an acceptance of other
religions, evolving into what is called "Inter-Faith".
Pacific Revival Center - Wolves Among The
Flock by Sandy Simpson, 1998
"There is a church that is trying desperately to ingratiate
itself with the rest of the body of Christ on Guam. This
article is a warning that they are hiding behind the fact that
they "went out from us" long ago (1 Jn. 2:19). The
church is affiliated with the UPCI (United Pentecostal Church
International). It has recently changed its name to
Pacific Revival Center. They have managed to get their
church prominently displayed in the Pacific Daily News in the
Lifestyle section, have advertised "miracle" and "revival"
meetings at which unseemly pleas for money were made, and have
started a semi-regular "Worship & Praise" event that they
are inviting all churches on Guam to participate in."
Kenneth Copeland Leads Believers In A
Dangerous Prayer Of Salvation by Sandy Simpson,
1998
"The Kenneth Copeland Ministries web site (would Paul have
named a ministry after himself?) has a page called "A Prayer
For Salvation And Baptism In The Holy Spirit".
This is a classic study on how NOT to preach the gospel, which
I will detail line for line."
Youth Alive
Alert! by Sandy Simpson, 1998
An alert to churches, particularly in Micronesia, about a group
called Youth Alive that is a ministry of the A/G and has close
ties to the Third Wave church Brownsville A/G. UPDATE!
The Youth Alive N.S.W. concert was held and there were no wierd
manifestations, at least not in the main auditorium! We
praise the Lord that our alert caused this Brownsville A/G
affiliated group to hold itself back from doing what they intend
to do sooner or later ... give a gnostic fleshly "impartation"
to our youth in Guam and Micronesia. Our youth have been
protected for the time being. However, pastors and youth
leaders need to be aware that this is the introductory
show. Youth Alive clubs in schools and more events are
scheduled. The false doctrines of the Third Wave out of
Brownsville, Toronto, RHEMA, Rodney Howard-Browne and Benny Hinn
will manifest themselves more fully as time goes by. Sound
doctrine is not important to people in the Third Wave.
This is because the Word is not their final authority.
Brownsville Revival School Of
Ministry - Occult Teachings & Practices by Sandy
Simpson, 1998
"Here is an e-mail of a first hand account of a phone
conversation with a teacher at the Brownsville "School Of
Ministry" regarding Brownsville's sale and use of shofars in
"spiritual warfare". If there are any of you that still
have any doubt that what is being taught at Brownsville A/G is
outright heresy and occult in nature, this should put that
issue to rest."
Rebuttal To The Defense Of The Term
"Christian Hedonism" by Sandy Simpson, DITC,
1998
This is a paper about the term "Christian hedonism" which author
John Piper is trying to coin in books such as "Desiring God" and
"Future Grace". Though there is no doubt good material in
the books, there is a danger here. This danger flows into
the gnostic revivals out of RHEMA, Toronto and
Brownsville. I believe these books and their message will
be, and in fact are being, taken the wrong way. The term
"Christian hedonism" is an oxymoron using the standard
dictionary definitions of both "Christianity" and
"hedonism". "The following is a summary of John
Piper's use of the term "Christian hedonism". I will
rebut each item as they appear in his official defense of the
term "Christian hedonism".
Obedience To God
(Uzzah's Disobedience) by Sandy Simpson,
1998
"The first obedience we should show is confessing our sins,
believing on the Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation, and
making Him the Lord of our life. The second obedience is to
serve Him the way He wants us to serve Him. Worship
without obedience is futile. In fact it makes the Lord angry.
Getting excited and zealous for the Lord without obedience to
God by living in accordance with His law and the doctrine of
Scripture is futile and meaningless, and in fact, dangerous.
There's a famous hymn that says it all: "When we walk with the
Lord, in the light of His Word, what a glory He sheds on our
way! While we do His good will, He abides with us still, and
with all who will trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there's
no other way, to be happy in Jesus. but to trust and obey."
Jesus Cares
For All Your Needs by Sandy Simpson, 1998
One of the main things that Jesus is... is compassionate. He
cares for His people. He was compassionate then and He is
still compassionate today. Jesus came and saw the needs of the
people. So He did two things. He met their physical need of
hunger for bread, and He also met their spiritual hunger for
the bread of life.
1999
Benny Hinn - A "New" Dark
"Anointing" by Sandy Simpson, 1999
"I have been receiving e-mails and watching Benny Hinn for
the last few nights on TV. This new turn toward the
"dark side" of the "force" with Benny and his wife is
revealing, disturbing, and saddening."
Pope John Paul II Receives The Mark of
"Aarti", A Prayer To The Hindu Goddess Durga by
Sandy Simpson, 1999
This is a photo of the pope receiving the mark of a prayer
"aarti" to the Hindu female godess Durga by a professing
Christian Hindu woman. By the time this photo was taken,
however, the pope had already been involved in a number of pagan
rituals on his trip to India in 1986, including taking the mark
of Shiva. Here is the documented quote: "Still at
Madras on February 5, 1986, 'A sugarcane, fashioned into the
form of a cross, signifying a Hindu offering to a carnal god,
was brought into the presence of the Pope. A little later,
during the offertory procession, a coconut was carried to the
altar, a typical Hindu offering, which they offer to their
idols. Finally, a man placed sacred ashes on his forehead. IT
WAS NOT A MATTER OF TILAC BUT OF SACRED ASHES OR VIBHUTI.
(*164) THREE DAYS EARLIER, ON FEBRUARY 2, HE HAD RECEIVED ON
HIS FOREHEAD THE TILAC OR TIKA, THE RED POWDERY PASTE OF THE
HINDUS, THE SIGN OF THE ADORERS OF SHIVA. (*165) *164
‘Msgr.’ Lefebvre, op. cit. p.177. *165 La
Croix of February 6, and 'I' Express' of February 7/13, 1986,
with photo." The Catholic objections to this photo,
and their deceptive tactics to try to hide what the pope did on
the web, have unearthed even further evidence of the interfaith
dabbling with demons by the papacy.
The Cell Church Model - Alpha Course
Lite? by Sandy Simpson, 1999
"The cell group model out of Singapore is Alpha Course
Lite! It is simply another front for the Third Wave,
another way to seduce churches, looking for a more personal
approach, to be more like the house churches of the first
century ... and to subtly introduce heresy. Remember the
M.O. of false teachers: 2 Pet. 2:1 But there were also
false prophets among the people, just as there will be false
teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive
heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought
them--bringing swift destruction on themselves."

Simpson, 1999

Jack Deere's
Doctrinal Confusion by Sandy Simpson, 1999
"Thanks to mentors like John
Wimber, C. Peter Wagner, Chuck Kraft from Fuller as well as
Paul Cain and others, Jack Deere had his orthodox view of
theology systematically dismantled. He then became
instrumental in introducing the Third Wave to millions of
Christians who trusted him because he had been a professor at
Dallas Theological Seminary through his books "Surprised By
The Power Of The Spirit" and "Surprised By The Voice Of
God." Though these books have some precious truths in
them, they also contain heresy. That is how false
teachers ply their trade. They lay error alongside truth
so that the unsuspecting and undiscerning will not be able to
tell the difference between what is true and what is
not. Following are a few examples of just how far away
from orthodoxy Deere has gone."
Dear
Saint, Don't Believe What They Say! by Sandy
Simpson, 1999
"The love of God will bring us through this life, not our
faith in the "force of faith", nor the words from our
lips. Kenneth Copeland teaches people to put their faith
in their words, in what their tongue proclaims."
Everybody Walks Away With Gold!
by Sandy Simpson, 1999
Brownsville and Toronto have recently received a much needed
shot in the arm to revive their ailing "revivals", but this time
it is laced with gold! "A "holy woman" from Brazil that
shakes gold dust from her hair and has oil appear on her
skin? Where is this woman from? Is she a Catholic
or Protestant? I guess it doesn't matter anymore,
folks. If she can exhibit this kind of magic, then she
must be truly "anointed"! Dreams of Jesus giving flowers
and out of body experiences? Could there be any clearer
evidence that the New Age has completely taken over the Third
Wave "River"? These following stories are not for the
faint of heart, and not for baby Christians. Always
remember when reading or viewing occult material that there is
a real spiritual deception at work and you can be
deceived. These "miracles" are nothing more than demonic
manifestations that have nothing whatsoever to do with true
biblical manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit." Let's
expose this ploy of the enemy for what it is. With all the
new talk in "The River" about "cross-pollination"
between movements such as Toronto, Brownsville and Word Faith,
these gold "miracles" are nothing more than a plot by the enemy
to try to cement the "health and wealth" gospel people with the
"transferable manifestation" Third Wavers. What better way
to bring these people together (as if they hadn't been from the
beginning!) than to have people get their dental work changed
into legal tender?

Salvation Sold For A Donation To TBN
by Sandy Simpson, 1999
"The Balaam Network (TBN) has really been raking in the cash
lately. With The Omega Code movie in the top ten of
money making movies (thanks to discerning Christians
everywhere) and their regular Praise-A-Thon, they are rolling
in dough. So much so that they can now afford to beam
utter heresy, like what you are about to read, to all of
China. I have been watching their fund raising antics
the last three nights. I never thought they could top
John Avanzini's "Jesus and the disciples were rich", "one
hundred fold return" and "the widow's mite" (she "wonted"
something) ploys, but R.W. Shambach has just hit a new
low. This e-mail confirmed what viewers heard Shambach
say the other night raising funds for TBN. He has been
on solidly for the last three days."

Youth Alive
And Alpha Course Team Up by Sandy Simpson,
1999
"How lucky can we be? Now we not only have the Alpha
Course produced by the Toronto "Blessing" and Youth
Alive, a program of the Assemblies Of God with strong
ties to Brownsville A/G and Awake America, but now Youth
Alive is using a new course called "Youth Alpha".
This is really not a surprise, but it will be to many
young people who have no idea what they are being "softened
up" to. Youth
Alive and Alpha
Course, as well as this new Youth Alpha Course are
simply entry points to the counterfeit revival 'river'."

Jesus Christ Slated To Star With
Benny Hinn ... IN PERSON! by Sandy Simpson,
4/00
"I received these e-mails confirming that Benny Hinn has
announced that Jesus Christ will appear bodily in Hinn's
crusades. This was "prophesied" by Ruth Heflin,
now famous for serving up gold teeth and gold dust all over
Christendumb (and I am not misspelling that word!)."
Celebrate Jesus 2000?
by Sandy Simpson, 4/17/2000
"Hot on the heels of the Benny Hinn/Ruth Heflin prophesy that
Jesus will appear bodily in Hinn's crusades and other Third
Wave meetings comes the following information ... For those of
you who hang on every word and action of your "anointed" Third
Wave leaders, this news may come as a shock. Did you
know that they have all decided to get together with the Roman
Catholic Church?"
Satanic Crosses ... A Stamp Of
Approval? by Sandy Simpson, 4/17/2000
"The items we will be discussing here, though, are highly
unlikely to be the product of any normal human
conspiracy. But we know from that Word that our battle
is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and
powers (Eph. 6:12). It is very curious to see satanic
symbols popping up in some very prominent places lately."

Luring People To Destruction By The
Unscrupulous Use Of The Gospel Message by Sandy
Simpson, 6/8/00
"I already know
that this article will be unpopular. The idea that people
can be seduced by the unscrupulous use of the Gospel
message may sound heretical in and of itself. People
like Benny Hinn have been credited from time to time with
having preached the Gospel pretty straight and people seem
to be professing faith in Christ. I have heard the
argument from Phil.
1:14-18 used over and over in this regard. Let me pose some questions that
will hopefully help you focus on this issue before
launching into my short thesis."

Testing
Music In The Church by Sandy Simpson, 10/00
"Music is a very powerful medium, perhaps even more powerful
in terms of what and how much a person remembers than sermons.
So it must be treated with the same kind of discernment. We
need to be very much aware of the songs that are being used in
the church."
Walking With God by Sandy
Simpson, Sermon Notes, 11/00
"What would it
be like if you have a friend but no contact, no walking
with him? (1) lose touch (2) lose track - lose
understanding (3) no longer moving in the same direction
(4) ultimately friendship grows cold - lose friendship."
Healer? Heal Thyself! by
Sandy Simpson, 11/14/00
"A good subtitle for this article might be "Practice What You
Preach!" There is no doubt that God can and does heal
people today. But the false doctrines of the Word-Faith
Movement about "declaring" healing, "name-it-and-claim-it",
etc. have been proven to be lies by the very people who sell
this deceit. If you don't know about where these famous
"faith healers" go when they need healing, you may be
surprised. Do the math. Be a Berean. Learn
to discern!"

The Lord's
Prayer, Our Prayer by Sandy
Simpson, 2000
But this prayer
is more than an outline. It is not some thing we are
to repeat mindlessly to get what we want from God.
It is a prayer that should be at the very heart of our
faith in the Lord. We show our complete worship and
submission to our Father. We ask Him to meet our
needs. We don't just expect Him to forgive us but we
also forgive others. We ask Him to protect and
deliver us from the evil one. We are completely
dependant on Him for everything.

Tommy Tenney's Background & Connections by
Sandy Simpson, DITC, 2/01
For those of you who have been duped into believing that Tommy
Tenney is a perfectly harmless believer by Christian Book
Distributors who just featured his books and videos on the
entire back cover of their latest catalog (CBD 2/00), here's a
little history lesson on Tenney. First of all read up on his UPC roots (you know, the guys who
deny the Triunity of the Godhead and teach baptismal
regeneration!). For more info on UPC check
out
this article. Though Tommy left the UPC over its
legalism he has never flat out denied his UPC anti-Trinitarian
beliefs to our knowledge. Then peruse the trumped up "broken
pulpit in Houston" story, and finish off looking at some
pictures
from a recent Pastors Conference 2000 at TACF with John
Arnott and others. I guess the "laughter" movement isn't
dead after all and Tenney is a "shoe" in.

The New Powerless Gospel by
Sandy Simpson, Deception In The Church, 4/19/01
"I have been challenged lately to think again about what the
Gospel message is all about. This has come as a result
of hearing what I consider to be, at the very least, "gospel
lite" and at the most no gospel at all being presented by a
number of neo-evangelicals, Third Wavers and outright
heretics. The interesting thing is that many seem to
be preaching the same message. What is most
intriguing is that false teachers like Benny Hinn,
ecumenicals, and even some preachers I would consider to be
orthodox in their theology are preaching a "gospel" that is
very similar. The question is: Is this new gospel message
really the Gospel at all?"
Reinhard Bonnke
- Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind by
Sandy Simpson, DITC, 4/26/01
Reinhard Bonnke, a German evangelist who does a lot of his

The Prayer Of Jabez & The
Prayer Of James by Sandy Simpson, 5/01
"Do you want your rewards now or later? Would you
rather ask for abundance or wisdom? Did Solomon ask for
abundance or wisdom? Would you rather lay up treasures
in heaven or on earth?"
Biblical New Testament
Prayers by Sandy Simpson, Deception In The Church,
5/7/01
"With all the talk about "praying the Jabez prayer" making
the rounds in so many churches, I thought it was time to
revisit a short section I wrote in a booklet called "What
Should I Say". It talked about biblical New
Testament prayers. These are prayers that the apostles
and Christians prayed. Since Christ and the apostles are
our foundation, we ought to be emulating what they prayed and
not some guy who prayed a prayer in the Old Testament that was
never meant to be a model prayer. If you are interested
in a model prayer then go to the Disciple's Prayer (most often
called the Lord's Prayer) in Matthew 6:9-13."

Will
The Real Blasphemers Please Stand Up? by Sandy
Simpson, DITC, 6/6/01
"This subject is one so serious that I do it with great fear
and trepidation. Nonetheless, because I get so many e-mails
accusing me and other Bereans of blasphemy, among other
serious charges, I felt it was necessary to clear up some
issues on this topic. Because of my stand for the truth of
God's Word juxtaposed against all the false teaching that is
going on today, I think it is important to do a quick study on
what blasphemy is actually all about from a biblical
standpoint. There are many references to blasphemy in
the Bible and from them we can find out how and why that term
was used."
Upgrade Your Old Hymns For The New
Paradigm! by Sandy Simpson, 9/01
"Time for a rewrite of the old hymns. In this day and
age of Third Wave revival movements and Word-Faith dominion,
the old hymns just aren't cutting it anymore. Not only
are they old fashioned musically, but the lyrics are, for the
most part, particularly depressing. They talk of sin, death,
repentanace, the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole host of
other disgusting subjects. There are also too many
lyrics in them, frankly, which takes away from the "worship"
atmosphere. Repetitiveness is what we need, not dead doctrinal
concepts. The old hymns are just too biblical. Give us a beat
to move our feet, not concepts to move our hearts and minds!"
The Message Of The Terrorist Attacks
On The U.S.? REPENT! by Sandy Simpson,
9/14/01
"We all need to take a good long look at our relationship

weak and ineffectual to judge those inside the church, then
God will have to judge those outside (1 Cor. 5:13) and inside
as well!"
Globalism & Interfaith - Here

Harry Potter Christians
by Sandy Simpson, 11/16/01
"With the release of the Harry Potter movie expecting the
largest revenue for any movie released to date and the sales
in the multiple millions of Harry Potter series books, I think
it's time to make some comparisons. This article is not
a review of the Harry Potter movie or the book, and for that
you can find a number of articles that do a careful analysis
of the dangers of teaching our children that sorcery is
something that is good and desirable. For Harry Potter
books and movie reviews from a Christian perspective, read the
following articles. This article,
however, is about what I am terming "Harry Potter
Christians". Whether or not Third Wavers approve of
Harry Potter books and the movie, they are living, practicing
Harry Potters nonetheless. "

paper is an attempt to study these various types of healings,
to identify their characteristics, to show their biblical
support, and then to make comparisons with some of the healing
claims of televangelists like Benny Hinn and others."

theology. How can we effectively bring the gospel if that gospel
is tainted by the world, the flesh and the devil. We as
Christians must stand firm in the faith once for all delivered
to the saints. We must not get involved in ecumenical movements
that look like the world, act like the world, and instead of
bringing the Word to the world are bringing the world to the

well. My general advice is to turn off TBN, get into
the Word of God daily, get down on your knees and pray for
people in your sphere of influence who may be falling into
the Third Wave, and reach out to them to pull them from
the fire. Stand firm in the Faith and don't allow
false heresies from the past and present leaven your faith

An Open Letter to the National

Haggard as President of the NAE by Sandy Simpson
& Mike Oppenheimer, ACT & Let Us Reason Ministries,
3/27/03
This open letter details facts that the NAE membership may have
overlooked in their election of Haggard. The letter shows
Ted Haggard's promotion of ecumenical unity between orthodox
Pentecostals, charismatics, the UPC cult, the Third Wave, and
the Word-Faith movement. It shows a false prophesy he just
made. It highlights his evangelistic methodology and
unbiblical spiritual warfare techniques. Most importantly,
it shows how this election fits in perfectly with the plans of
the International Coalition of Apostles under C. Peter Wagner to
take over leadership in Christendom.
An
Answer To Ted Haggard - Response To Ted Haggard's Email
Rebuttal To Our Open Letter To The NAE by

Ministries, 4/23/03
This article is a response to an email we received from Ted
Haggard on April 7, 2003. Haggard was responding to our Open
Letter To The NAE. Keep in mind that Ted
Haggard did not want us to use the word "official response"
but graciously gave us permission to use his comments. The
reason we asked if his email to us was an official response to
our open letter was because we wanted to find out if he stood
behind what he claimed in his emails to us. We did this so
that we would be able to give a thoughtful response and not
expect him to take some other position after the fact. This
letter is not meant to be disrespectful. Our intent is to be
honest in our position and response.

If men were exercising true biblical authority over their

Benny Hinn's Response To
Dateline NBCby Sandy Simpson, 1/11/03
There is no need to go into the history of Benny Hinn because
he has been around what seems like forever and has been
investigated enough times so that most people know quite a bit
about him. An excellent resource on the history of Benny
Hinn is available from Personal Freedom Outreach in a book
called "The Confusing World Of Benny Hinn". Hinn has
been investigated by two major secular news shows, and by some
Christian news media as well. Most recently he was
investigated by Dateline NBC in a show that aired December 27,
2002. All of these shows showed evidence that Benny Hinn
has been scaming people for their money with false healing
claims that he cannot prove. He was asked on all these
shows to provide medical proof of the miracles he and his
follower claim to be experiencing, but to date not one shred
of definitive evidence has been provided by the
ministry. Hinn did provide evidence, but when it was
investigated the claims turned out to be claims without
medical justification. Quite contrary to Hinn's claims,
a number of people have died who Hinn proclaimed healed.

God
Doesn't Want Your Sacrifices - He Wants Your Obedience!
by Sandy Simpson, 2/9/04
1 Samuel 15:22 But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD
delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in
obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than
sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
The New "How To" Christianity - Helpful
Tools Or Dangerous Weapons? by Sandy Simpson,
8/00, revised 3/04
"... the goal of Christian mission is not success, but
faithful witness; not power, but proclamation; not technique,
but truth; not method, but message." - Michael Horton, Power
Religion, Moody Press, pg. 15
The
Profit-Driven Church by Sandy Simpson,
3/5/04
The Purpose-Driven Church,
Purpose-Driven Life and every
other "purpose-driven" program that Rick Warren of Saddleback
Church is selling to the Christian masses at the moment has an
underlying agenda that is hardly highlighted by the Church or
Christians. The church growth strategies that seem to work
equally well for Christians, Mormons, Jews, Catholics and any
other religion1 have a solid
"profit-driven" motive built into the programs. If you
meet the "felt needs" of people, they will come. And when they
come they bring their checkbooks with them.
A Call For Repentance! - a
debrief on the "A Call For Accountability" and "The
Orlando Statement" which was brought to consensus among
Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation false apostles and
false prophets by Sandy Simpson,
3/9/04
A group of the International Coalition
of Apostles (ICA), which was organized by "super apostle" C.
Peter Wagner and other "apostles and prophets" with the
express goal of bringing the entire apostate "Church" under
their leadership, recently agreed upon the following "A Call
For Accountability". It is laudable that they are
attempting to address unethical and immoral practices in
Third Wave churches under their "authority", but you cannot
address the symptom if you don't deal with the root of the
problem. The root is the sin of apostasy from the
truth.

It's "Glory Dust" And
"Manna" In The Apostate Church by Sandy Simpson,
3/30/04
Well, here we go again. On OpenHeaven.com we find a
report as of 1/15/03 of "Revival, Gold & Manna".
This report is backed up with no facts, pictures, or
documentation ... just more unverified stories by those who
want to entice others into their "love feasts" (Jude
1:12). Let's look at some of the "facts" of this report
so we can dispel this "myth" biblically and get back to
reality.
Entertainment-style Christianity vs.
Interactive-style Christianity by Sandy Simpson,
5/04
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"
(EST). But EST churches are not only missing out on the
cutting edge of true Christianity, but are heading down the
road to apostasy.
Let's Take A Look At The "Judge
Not" Argument For A Moment! by Sandy Simpson,
6/3/04
It's very interesting to me how Christians are quick, these
days, to pull out the old "judge not lest you be judged"
excuse when they are angry at you for warning people away from
their favorite false teachers and false prophets by
name. They come down on those who test the spirits (1
Jn. 4:1), discern truth from error (Phil. 1:9-11, Prov. 3:21)
and judge rightly (Jn. 7:24) when those are ways in which God
has told us we ARE to judge. They use the "judge not"
ploy to make themselves look like they are holier-than-thou
and above the fray, and in so doing they are already in
violation of Matt. 7:1 because they are judging those they say
are being judgmental hypocritically. But think about the
ways in which we all tend to judge in a whole variety of
unbiblical ways every day.
The
Overseer
- A Study In Titus 1:6-11 by Sandy Simpson,
6/25/04
There once was a shepherd who loved his flock of sheep.
He fed them and watered them. He bathed them and tended
to their hurts. The only trouble is he did not build a
protected fence around their home. He had a habit of
going to sleep at night leaving no one to guard them.
They had always been safe in the past, but one night wolves
came. In the morning when he woke up many of the sheep
were missing or dead. That day he built a fence and made
sure there was always someone there to guard the sheep at
night.
Francis Frangipane - Another
Good Example Of The False Latter Rain Teaching On The
Transferable Anointing by Sandy Simpson,
6/30/04
Elijah List sends out heretical Latter Rain teachings all
over the world daily in their newsletters. So it is no
surprise to see Francis Frangipane, a long time Latter Rain
heretic, featured in their newsletter. The Latter Rain
teaches that there is a transferable impartation of the
"anointing" that can be transferred "by" the laying on of
hands "by" the will of man, usually though slain in the
spirit. As I have written before, this is heresy. This
teaching denies the Triune nature of God, that He is One
sovereign God eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit. When you claim you can transfer an
impartation or anointing of the Holy Spirit by human hands by
the will of men, you effectively deny both the Deity and
personality of the Holy Spirit. You deny the Deity by
claiming you have the power to transfer the Holy Spirit at
will, and you deny the person of the Holy Spirit by treating
Him like some kind of "force" or "power" seperate from His
person. These ideas are New Age ideas wrapped up in a
Christian wrapper. Slain in the spirit and the
transferable anointing are nowhere taught or demonstrated by
the Apostles, prophets or Jesus Christ Himself.

Seeds, Soil & Fruit by
Sandy Simpson, 9/19/04
Some seeds have been genetically altered. Something has
been added to the seed to produce a certain result. What
has been added is indoctrination, brainwashing, diaprax, false
prophecy, false apostolic edicts, false anointings.
These additives produce seeds that will, in turn, grow bad
trees, producing bad fruit, which in turn produce more bad
seeds as the process renews itself over and over again.
The
New Panentheistic "God" Of Christendom by Sandy
Simpson, 9/25/04
There is a new "God" being promoted in the Third Wave, New
Apostolic Reformation and Word of Faith movements whose
teachers are regularly seen on TBN, Daystar, SkyAngel, CBN and
other "Christian" TV networks. Some of those teachers
even have, what would be considered, a fairly typical
statement of faith or doctrinal statement they endorse.
But by what they teach they end up promoting a false
unbiblical view of God, especially through their actions and
experiences. The whole phenomenon of "slain in the
spirit" and all the antics that go with it are brainwashing an
entire generation of Christians to put their faith in another
Jesus, another Spirit, another Gospel. This new "Jesus"
and "Holy Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or panentheistic in
nature. Though some of these teachers would claim to be
believing in the God who is One God in Three Persons, by what
they teach they deny the very revealed character of God from
Scripture.
Synergy
by Sandy Simpson, 9/29/04
Synergy is a concept being adapted and taught today as a
major tenet of the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
movement. Dutch Sheets was one of the first to introduce
this concept to that movement back in the National School of
the Prophets - Mobilizing the Prophetic Office Conference at
Ted Haggard's New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO on May
12, 2002.
Richard
Twiss Connections by Sandy Simpson, 10/1/04
Richard Twiss is spreading the doctrines of the New Apostolic
Reformation and is endorsed by them. He claims that the
Great Spirit of the Indians is the Holy Spirit of the Bible,
and endorses ministries who make this same claim. He
endorses and promoted books by people like Daniel Kikawa that
present information as fact when it is proven myth. He
continues to teach that the Great Spirit is the Holy Spirit by
wearing the cultural items associated with the Great Spirit,
even though it is a historical fact that the Great Spirit is a
pantheistic god that required blood rituals and human
sacrifice. Richard Twiss claims that what he is doing is
not syncretism, when it is the very definition of
syncretism.
Jack
Deere's View On Prophecy by Sandy Simpson,
10/2/04
Jack Deere's understanding of the gift of prophecy reflects
the twisted teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
of which he has been a part since the days of John Wimber,
Paul Cain and C. Peter Wagner in the early formation of the
Vineyard and Toronto Blessing movements.
False
Prophecies Of The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) by
Sandy Simpson, 10/03/04
There is so much false prophecy in the NAR that it I could do
an entire web site devoted to that issue alone. If you
want to see the daily parade of false prophecies emanating
from the NAR, subscribe to the Elijah List. It means
nothing to these false apostles and false prophets to say
things in the name of the Lord that not only do not come to
pass, but would never come to pass because they are unbiblical
and ridiculous.

False Apostles! - The
False Apostles Of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
by Sandy Simpson, 10/13/04
The NAR proponants claim to be foundational Apostles to the
modern church. This claim is exactly what Paul warned
the Church about regarding false apostles. False
apostles are identified as those who claim they are equal with
the the foundational Apostles. The NAR proponants go
even further. They claim to be GREATER than the
original Apostles.

True Vine, True Fruit --
False Vine, False Fruit by Sandy Simpson,
2/2/05
There is one true Vine, that is Jesus Christ. Those
attached to this Vine, who have a connected relationship to
the Vine through obedience, will be branches that bear true
fruit.
Maturity Training by
Sandy Simpson, 01/05
At the core of maturity in Christ is the
issue of training to be able to distinguish between good and
evil, right and wrong. But in today’s churches this
issue has not only been downplayed, but actually swept aside.
Unity Of The
Faith & Maturity by Sandy Simpson, 02/05
Those who are mature in Christ are those who
are reaching unity in the Faith and in the knowledge of the
Son of God. Those who are not mature strive for ecumenical
or interfaith unity thinking that they are growing in the
Lord, and it is usually a point of pride to them. But they
have mistaken what Paul was talking about. Unity in the
Faith is talking about coming to a common understanding and
practice of the core truths of the Faith as taught to us in
the Bible through Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
Why do people have discernment about the FACT of eggs, yet
apparently so few have discernment about the FACTS of the
Bible?
There
Are 3 Types Of Predictive "Prophecy" That Can Come True
Sometimes - There Is Only 1 Type Of Predictive
Prophecy That Comes True All The Time!by
Sandy Simpson, 3/05
Prophecy is a broad term. In the Bible
it is often defined as preaching, teaching, exhorting,
etc. Prophecy in modern times has come to mean almost
exclusively the prediction of future events. But this
is only one aspect of prophecy as defined in the Word.
In many churches around the world the
concept of "worship" has been redefined and narrowed to mean
the time when Christians come together to sing songs, raise
their hands, dance around, and get all excited about the
Lord together in church. For most of the younger
postmodernist relativistic generation the concept of
"worship" has become a thing you do once or twice a week to
absolve yourself of guilt. The more you can work
yourself into a state of bliss in feeling like you are
really achieving a state of "worship" by letting yourself go
in the music and rhythm of the "worship" time, the more you
can justify what you are doing the rest of the week when you
are not "worshipping" God. This "worship" then becomes
an excuse and justification process whereby Christians can
rid themselves of the guilt of not obeying the Lord in their
lives. This is not to say that true worship is not
done in the time now called "worship". It can be a
time of worship, but worship without obedience is no worship
at all.
There is a web site on the Internet, and there are others,
that attempt to vindicate Benny Hinn's false prophecies, false
teachings, necromancy and other unbiblical things he is
doing. Recently the author of this site, the sister of
Vinod K. Isaac, initiated an email exchange with me.
Vinod, her brother, owns a computer outfit in Chicago called
"Jasmin Computers" and is apparently hosting her web page on
his computer site. Unlike most Christian web sites,
including ours, who are up front about who we are, his sister
has never revealed her name on her site and there is no way to
contact her other than an email form. It wasn't until
she wrote me, claiming to be Benny Hinn by signing her emails
"BH" and using his name as her email address at bennyhinn2@yahoo.com
that I made the connection between her and her web site. She
accused me in her emails of not giving the facts about Benny
Hinn, in fact calling me a liar and a deceiver. I cannot
reprint her emails here because it is a violation of ethics
concerning private and protected by copyright law. Those
who wish to reprint private emails are duty bound by common
copyright laws to ask permission of the author to do so, which
we do on our site. In response to her invective and
accusations, I sent her a number of links to articles about
Benny Hinn. Her subsequent responses showed that she had
not read the articles I sent her. I then began to attach
the full length articles to her emails, which had grown to a
number of emails per day, hoping she might accidentally see
them. I gave her Hinn's false prophecies. She just
kept coming back with rhetoric about how I didn't know what I
was talking about. She indicated she would not read the
articles I sent. She finally told me she had decided to put up
a page trying to prove I was wrong with my name on it, stating
that I was a deceiver. So I believe it is time to bring this
to public attention. I do not want to throw any traffic
her way because the DITC site has thousands of hits per
week. But I feel I do need to address her ridiculous
assertions and mishandling of Scripture to try to defend a
proven heretic and false prophet, Benny Hinn. Following is a
refutation of her "facts" about what I have on my site, and
about Hinn point by point. This is not rocket science,
folks. What "BH2" has on this new web page, which is an
abbreviation of her email address and how we will refer to her
in the following, is quotes exactly from her site in
Red. My rebuttal is in Blue. So here goes ...
Learn To Love Jesus Christ! by Sandy
Simpson, March 2005
Is learning to love yourself really what
people need to learn? Is this how a Christian should
accurately explain the human condition? Is the problem
with people that they don't love themselves enough or that
they only love themselves? Is loving yourself the
answer to your needs in life? After reading Rick Warren's
first contract column called "Learn To Love Yourself!" for
Ladies Home Journal (LHJ), it struck me that it is a perfect
example of why churches should definitely NOT be using his
materials.
What
We Need Is A Reverse Paradigm Shift! by Sandy
Simpson, 3/30/05
I'm going to warn you now. I am going
to let you in on some information tonight that is going to
radically change your world view. You are likely going
to experience the beginnings of a reverse paradigm shift and
after tonight there will be no way to go back the way you
came. You will be faced with choices that you may
never have known you had. You will be faced with a new
way of looking at things that is going to cause you to
rethink everything that is being taught in the Emerging
Latter Rain churches. It is going to be radical
because the basis for this message doesn't come from Jesus
Christ visiting my room last night bodily, but from His holy
written Word. So buckle down your seat belts, you're
likely in for a bumpy ride!
Should biblical Christian churches be
Christ-centered (Christocentric)? Should the doctrines
of the Father (Patriology) and the Holy Spirit (Pnematology)
also be equally emphasized? Can a church be
Patriocentric or Pnemacentric and be biblical?

Smack Dab In The Middle Of The
Apostasy
"Evangelicals" Fawn Over The Pope At
His Death by Sandy Simpson, 4/7/05
The Roman Catholic Church, headed by the popes, have long
taught against at least two of the "central doctrines of the
Christian Faith". That "Evangelical" leaders would
endorse the pope, glorify him, say he is a saint, and laud him
to the world is a testament of just how far into apostasy the
Evangelical churches have fallen.
A

Unbiblical teachings by the organizers

Two stories to illustrate and correct the false teachings of

John Dawson, Richard Twiss and Daniel Kikawa with regard to
there being worship of the true God in hundreds of cultures
from the beginning.
Regarding The Accuracy Of Oral
Traditions - With Reference To Daniel Kikawa's Book
"Perpetuated In Righteousness"by Sandy
Simpson, 5/10/05
The accuracy of oral tradition is, in a word,
"inaccurate". God calls oral tradition "fables", and I
dare say that if we were able to trace back most oral
traditions today, as God sees them from an eternal
perspective, we would see the mutations, changes and
fabrications involved in modern mythology.
The Testimony Of Heneri Opukaha'ia -
regarding the state of religion and society in Hawaii
before the Gospel - A Rebuttal To Daniel Kikawa's
Book "Perpetuated In Righteousness" by Sandy
Simpson, 5/17/05
This article is a reminder of what Hawaii was like before the
Gospel was preached. This is the account of a very
important eyewitness. It is an unfortunate fact that often, by
the third generation of Christians in any given area of the
world, important information has begun to be lost and
forgotten. This is clearly evident in the writings of
people like Daniel Kikawa. The stark facts, of Hawaiian
culture and religion before the Gospel was preached in Hawaii,
are made evident by the testimony of a man without whom the
peoples of Hawaii would never have had the opportunity to hear
the Gospel message and would still be living in the sins of
their ancestors.
The Agenda & Teaching Of The New
Apostolic Reformation with forward by Sandy Simpson,
5/23/05
I am posting the transcript of this conference in the hope
that those who want to know what is going on in the churches
across the world today will be able to understand the agenda
of the New Apostolic Reformation. This agenda runs
through thousands of agencies and web sites. It is what
is driving the Transformations movement, the global prayer
movement, and thousands of other churches and
organizations. What Christians need to realize is that
they need to make a choice now. A majority of Christian
churches have already succumbed to this Dominionist agenda
foisted on the churches by false apostles driven by false
prophecies from false prophets. Wagner is talking about
the government of the church, under the leadership of the new
foundational restored "apostles", OVERTHROWING the governments
of the world. A spirit is indeed saying something to the
churches, but since this is based on false prophecy rather
than the written Word, you can begin to understand that this
is not of the Holy Spirit speaking. If this agenda that
C. Peter Wagner is proposing and is about to pull off is not
"the woman who rides the beast" I don't know what is!
The
Responsibilities Of A Good Shepherd by Sandy
Simpson, 5/20/05
Those who are called to be servant under shepherds in the
body of Christ must take that responsibility seriously.
There are far too many who claim to be called to servant
leadership, but demonstrate clearly that they are not
qualified to be shepherds according to God's criteria.
We need to be feeding the lambs and the sheep, bringing them
to good pasture lands and water, grooming and clipping them,
delivering new lambs, leading them and teaching them to stay
together, going off after the wandering lost ones, and
protecting the sheep in the field and in the fold.
This video study series is taken from the Discernment
Toolkit book but includes a lot of footage of false
teachers and false prophets. It will help you and/or
your group learn how to test, discern and judge teaching and
prophecy that is out there today in a very practical
way. It covers the core doctrines, how we can use them
to test, and examples on the DVD that can be paused for
discussion. This series also includes a teacher guide
and links to resources on the web. This 3-DVD series is
available now! Go here

New Age/Eastern Mysticism
In The Churches by Sandy Simpson,
9/18/05
Within my lifetime there has been a monumental change in the
churches. In the last few decades New Age Eastern Mysticism
and Gnosticism has entered a majority of Christian churches.
It entered very slowly, like a frog in a pot. When the pot is
slowly brought to a boil with a live frog in the pot it has
been observed that he will not jump out because he does not
feel the changes in temperature until he is boiled to death.
The "slow boil" of New Age brainwashing in the churches
started a long time ago, but even in the last 20 years or so
the changes are stark. None of the New Age practices I will
mention could be found in most churches at that time, and
would have been soundly dismissed as unbiblical and heretical.
Many will ask, "Where has the New Age entered the churches?"
All you have to do is think about it a little and you will see
that many churches have adopted New Age teachings and ideas
and "Christianized" them, when none of them are biblical.
ADDENDUM to "An Answer To
Ted Haggard"by Sandy Simpson, 9/19/05
I do not want to belabor this issue, but in the pursuit of
truth I must update you on a few current developments in this
story. Please refer to the original articles here: An Open Letter to the National
Association of Evangelicals - Re: The Election of Ted
Haggard as President of the NAE by Sandy Simpson

Ted Haggard - Response To Ted Haggard's Email Rebuttal To
Our Open Letter To The NAE by Sandy Simpson &
Mike Oppenheimer, ACT & Let Us Reason Ministries, 4/23/03.
Ted Haggard is apparently still telling people he has no
formal association with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
and it's International Coalition Of Apostles (ICA). He
recently reiterated this assertion on a radio program called
"Issues, Etc." on 9/13/05. You can watch the Windows

Three Fallacies Of Third Wave
Spiritual Warfare Teachings by Sandy Simpson,
10/19/05
A recent Third Wave newsletter illustrates the ridiculous and
erroneous nature of New Apostolic "spiritual warfare"
teachings.
Explain Or Explain Away? by Sandy Simpson, 10/25/05
A proper balance of Biblical teaching, as demonstrated by
the Apostles, is to both explain God's Word (good
hermeneutics, exegesis) and to explain away false
teachings of any particular passage (polemics and/or
apologetics).
Why The LDS/Mormon

(RZIM) and many others who are attempting to forge some kind
of "Evangelicals And Mormons Together" alliance out of thin
air.

The
Emerging/Emergent Church - and their use of "diaprax"
by Sandy Simpson, 11/28/05
The concept of the Emerging Church, as advertised worldwide
in books, the web and on TV by the likes of Brian Mclaren,
Leonard Sweet, Richard Foster, Dan Kimball, Rick Warren, Ken
Blanchard and a whole host of others, seeks to cater to the
postmodern mindset while using diaprax to achieve its
goals. The Hegelian Dialectic is used in concert with
praxis (known as “diaprax”) to brainwash
an entire generation into creating a new hybrid Christianity.
This new religion is full of Eastern mysticism and Gnosticism,
while systematically redefining the teachings of Jesus Christ,
the Apostles and Prophets within a subjectivist,
existentialist worldview.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Wake Up
Leonard Sweet!
by Sandy Simpson, 11/27/05
This article will expose Leonord Sweet as a postmodernist who

that he is unable to think clearly at all, let alone
teach. On his The
Double

Vol. 3 which I have transcribed here in totality, you can hear
the bell toll twice announcing the demise of Christianity
falling headlong into a global apostate end times false
religion.

ACT Letter To The Fiji
Times About Benny Hinn
by Sandy Simpson, 1/3/05, Fiji Times Online, Voice of the
People, Letters to the Editor, January 3, 2006
This invitation to Hinn is facilitated by a church coalition
that is simply trying to further the "transformations" agenda

Brain McLaren: A Prime
Example Of Diaprax by Sandy Simpson, 2/16/06
I have written in a previous article called The
Emerging/Emergent
Church - and their use of "diaprax" briefly detailing
the use of the Hegelian Dialectic and praxis (diaprax) by New
Apostolic and Emerging Church leaders. What I want to
show in this article is a perfect example of diaprax in the
teachings of Brian McLaren, a main leader in the Emerging
Church. If you want to read the entire transcript of
“An New Kind Of Christian – Part
1”, a video teaching by Brian McLaren, you can
access it here.
I
also urge you to watch the video for yourself which is
available online here.
When you watch be aware of the intentional and even
unintentional uses of brainwashing techniques. I will
only quote certain parts of McLaren’s teachings to
emphasize the use of diaprax as well as other false teachings.

Peter Popoff - Back To His Old
Tricks! by Sandy Simpson, 3/17/06
I received a letter from Peter Popoff. I did not sign
up for his address list, but apparently he got my name and
address from somewhere. This infamous
televangelist, in the past, was found to be guilty of wearing
an earpiece so that his accomplices in his sound booth could
feed him personal information on people in his audience while
he was claiming to get personal messages directly from
God. This letter proves that, not only is he back as a
regular on TV, he is also back to his old tricks.
An Endrun Around Rom. 1 And Acts 17 -
A Gameplan of YWAM by Sandy Simpson,
3/4/06
Daniel Kikawa, formerly with YWAM and now with his own
organization called Aloha Ke Akua, and Danny Lehmann, Director
of YWAM Honolulu have repeatedly pulled Romans 1 and Acts 17
from their contexts in order to promote IPM ideology. I
have yet to hear them, or any other leader in the IPM for that
matter, teach these Scriptures in context. Yanking
Scriptures out of context is one of the first marks of false
teaching.

IPM False Teaching About The
Names Of God by Sandy Simpson, 6/24/06
Danny Lehmann, YWAM Director in Honolulu and pastor at
Calvary Chapel Komo Mai was on the Calvary Chapel KLHT radio
station again on Friday, June 23, 2006 with another argument
to try to shore up the false doctrines that he and others of
the IPM, including Don Richardson, Richard Twiss, Daniel
Kikawa, have been teaching. Their claim is that God has
many names in many cultures and can be legitimately worshipped
by those names. Lehmann argues that the proof of this
idea comes from the fact that in the Bible God has many
"names".
"Blasphemizing"
The Bible by Sandy Simpson, 7/26/06
The reason for this article is to detail how some of these
Bible societies are mistranslating the Bible, using the names
of false gods and substituting them for the One True God, the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel, the "I
AM", YHWH, Jehovah. In doing this they are following the
agenda of the WCGIP Leadership endorsed by Don Richardson and
John Dawson of YWAM, and headed by people like Daniel Kikawa
of Aloha Ke Akua, Richard Twiss of Wiconi International, Terry
LeBlanc of World Vision Canada, and many other indigenous
leaders.
Can Rick Warren Change The World?
by Sandy Simpson, 8/21/06
With the recent rash (and I use that
word physically) of Rick Warren appearances all over the TV
networks, touted as the man who is going to save the planet,
I have finally reached my maximum saturation point. I
just want to address one statement that Warren made on Fox,
though I could go into his appearnaces and what he taught in
ultimate detail as I have in the past. But this one
statement is more than enough to illustrate that Rick Warren
is trying to change the world thought his use of diaprax and
his INCREDIBLE lack of discernment.

Indigenous Peoples (WCGIP) Report & Analysis - Davao
& Kiruna by Sandy Simpson, 10/1/06
I urge anyone reading this article to also read the other
articles in the WCGIP section of the DITC web site. It
will help you understand the width and breadth of false
teaching in this movement. This article contains quotes from
the last two WCGIP events. What is amazing to me is that
the word "Gospel" and "evangelism" (or "evangelization ... two
different terms) are being used freely by the leadership and
participants of this movement when it is clear they have
little or no understanding of those terms from a biblical
standpoint. You cannot claim you are reaching people
with the Gospel while, at the same time, teaching that God has
been redeeming the Gentile pagan nations (such as we all were)
through the stars, their cultures and their religions long
before the Gospel ever was preached. That is a clear
denial of the biblical statements that Gentiles did not know
God. Gentiles did not have salvation, they were not
worshipping God, nor did they have hope before they heard the
message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, no matter what Terry
LeBlanc, Richard Twiss, Daniel Kikawa and his friends claim.
... and all
liars ... by Sandy Simpson, 11/05/06
There is a lesson for all true believers in recent
events. Have nothing to do with deeds of darkness
perpetrated by false brothers. Reject heresy. Mark and
avoid false teachers.

Purpose Driven Hip-Hop?
from an email update from Youth Alive Victoria, commentary
by Sandy Simpson, 4/20/07
I received this email update from Youth Alive Victoria.
In a previous article I showed how Youth
Alive
promoted the Third Wave in concerts worldwide. I
also showed how they
promote
the use of Alpha Course. Youth Alive continues
down the road to apostasy by promoting "Purpose Driven
Hip-Hop". This shows the influence of Rick Warren's
books in their organization. IT also shows they very
much support YWAM which
is aa adherant and promoter of the New
Apostolic Reformation. It is my hope the parents
will take this as a warning and not send their kids to be
infleunce by Youth Alive!
The Letter To Laodicea Is A
Warning To The TRUE Church Today by Sandy Simpson,
4/30/07
Much has been made of this passage, using it to point out
what is happening today in the apostate churches around the
world. It is true that they believe they are rich in
spiritual things when they are very poor. It can be
applied in one sense to the Word
of
Faith movement. It is true that the "River"
movement of Latter Rain teachings do think they are hot when
actually they are cold. But this letter to the end times
church of Laodicea is actually talking to biblical Christians
who are born again. The apostate movements of the Latter
Rain, Third

Brownsville
"Outpouring", Word

The New Prophets And
Apostles and Superstition by Sandy Simpson,
5/22/07
False prophets have always been known and identified as using
divination and augury to try to set dates for certain
events. The dates they set, though they hold festivals
to celebrate them, never produce the results they
predict. Their superstitious behavior and their
adherence to these mythologies are one way to identify them as
false prophets.
"River Flush USA" Event To

Sandy Simpson, 6/5/07
The Wagners, Chuck Pierce, Jim & Faith Chosa, et al have
"prepared the way" so to speak by conducting an occultic event
called, "River Flush, USA" where they used Native American and
New Age shamanistic techniques to conduct deliverance of the
midwestern and southern continental US's river systems, which
they claim are being used as a "vast network and
communications base for the 'prince of the power of the air'
and for the second heaven principalities to legally link into
the earth."
Dominionism: The New
Christian Fascism? - Is it ultimately that different
from Islamic Fascism?by Sandy Simpson,
6/29/07
One of the lies those who follow heretics are believing today
is the lie of Dominionism. This false theology gets
believers to focus their attention on what God has NOT
ordained. Then they are swept away in the pantheistic
mysticism that has taken up residence in many churches,
relying on their feelings to guide them. At that point
they are already following the enemy and don't even know
it. If they would search the Scriptures daily they would
know they are a tool of the enemy. But rather than
repent they continue down the path of heresy, carrying out the
ridiculous edicts of false apostles, the false prophecies of
self-proclaimed "prophets", and passing along the fables false
teachers make up daily to tickle the ears of their followers
until their consciences are branded with a hot iron and they
can no longer discern truth from error. At that point
they have given in to delusion. When God allowed Pharaoh
many chances to repent and he hardened his heart, God finally
hardened it for him. God will do the same when He
ultimately sends a great delusion on those who no longer have
a love of the truth. These deluded ones will end up
being the same Fascists as their counterparts in Islam.
Pre Millennial And Post
Millennial Doctrines Do Not Mix by Sandy Simpson,
7/13/07
Many Christians today (having allowed themselves to be
diapraxed by false teachers on TV, in books, in seminars and
on tape) have begun to accept a mixture of Pre Mil and Post
Mil doctrines. Many claim they still hold to a Pre Trib
Rapture (or another Pre Mil scenario) and at the same time
would claim that Christians are in a great end times revival,
that "Transformation" is taking place all over the world, and
that our mandate is to retake dominion over the whole world
including its businesses, social agendas and political arenas
(a Post Mil scenario). But what many "Christians" today
do not realize is: the mixture they have accepted is
oxymoronic.

Universalism in the World has
Permeated the Church by Sandy Simpson,
10/12/07
We deal with these old heresies brought forward to modernity,
these ideas that all men have have a relationship with God
that will cause them to be able to avoid judgement in our book
on the teachings of the World Gathering on Indigenous People
movement called “Idolatry In Their
Hearts”. The idea that all men who worship a
“god” are worshipping the true God, YHWH,
has bubbled up to the very top of our societies and religions,
and even Christendoom, and should sound a warning alarm to
true Biblical Christianity. Instead, as usual in our
day, most Christians are asleep at the wheel while
Universalists claim that you can pray to a
“god” like Allah and be praying to the
true Trinue God, YHWH. I also dealt with the fact that
Allah is not YHWH, both in our book and in the article
“Is Allah The Same As YHWH?”. Yet just
recently George Bush, a professing Christian, who has
obviously been led astray by false teachers and his heretical
counselors like T.D. Jakes and Ted Haggard, came out with
these statements in an interview.
John Piper: Giving "license for
immorality" while claiming he is not? by Sandy
Simpson, 10/27/07
Not one word about Christians confessing or repenting of sin
in Gutsy Guilt by John Piper. Yes Christians still sin (1 John
1:8). But the point in any true biblical exegesis of this
subject is that Christians no longer practice sin (1 John 3:9)
but rather practice righteousness (1 John 3:7). Those
practicing sin better test themselves to see if they are in
the Faith (2 Cor. 13:5). We as believers have the sacrifice of
Christ for sin but we must still confess our sins and He is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from
all unrighteousness (which was spoken in reference to
Christians) (1 John 1:9). This article is a perfect example of
what Jude calls giving Christians a “license for
immorality” and illustrates why 5-Point Calivinists
are deceiving believers on issues like continued sexual
immorality.

Islamic Teachings That Prove

This article presents documented proof

that the "god" Allah they worship is a false god.
Their false religion is based on a false prophet, false
scriptures and a false god.
LESSONS
IN FORGIVENESS
Through the years I have been
presented with many opportunities to forgive. Sometimes
the situation was so severe that it took me some time to
forgive and start the process of healing for myself, and
eventually for others. I learned that a Christian needs to
forgive other people even if they have not repented of
their sins. That can be really hard if we let it be hard.
But if we give our burdens over to the Lord, He will carry
them and that frees us up to treat other people with love,
compassion, and be in the right frame of mind and heart to
set them up for reconciliation with Jesus Christ. That
does not mean we tolerate their sin. We simply forgive
them for what they have done to us, whether perceived or
real, and move on to looking for ways to redeem them. We
can then present to them the “truth in
love” even when we have to rebuke them.

The Gospel Entrusted To The
Saints by Sandy Simpson, March 31, 2008
We have a precious Gospel message to share with others.
It is the Good News that saved us and brought us peace.
We now have the hope of eternal life with Christ when before
we were hopeless (Eph. 2:12). This new life should and
will motivate us to share that Good News with everyone.
But sometimes true saints lapse into a lukewarmness of
complacency (Rev. 3:16). I have done that myself at
times. It is time for the remnant, those who have not
joined the Apostasy, to reach out to the world with the truth
and love of the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. But we
must adhere to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Apostles
to be effective.

Is Anyone Else Tired Of The
Diaprax Of False Teachers ... Or Is It Just Me? by
Sandy Simpson, 6/2/08
The dialectic and praxis (diaprax) is being used by most
false teachers today as a main form of commuication and
teaching. In order to bring in their grandiose
unbiblical plans and get people to follow them, they have to
vilify the old. In doing so, with more and more churches
and Christians following their schemes, they are actually
destroying the work of the Church and missions instead of
helping the situation. What was not a squeaky wheel is
now being oiled with the super glue of false teaching.
If the churches have been ineffective and even some Biblical
ones have been at times, then Warren's ideas are not helping
but will grind the churches to a halt by focusing their
attention on social and political concenrs rather than the
Gospel. This is all part of the Dominionist mandate, not
part of our mandate as true Christians. Sadly instead of the
churches becoming more effective we are witnessing the demise
of the churches that follow the leadership of people like
Warren ... which make Christ's words even more poignant and
heartrending: Lu 18:8 I tell you, he will see that they
get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man
comes, will he find faith on the earth?
Why False Teachers Have So

From Church To

The issue of the Emerging Church and it's
introduction into many churches and mission organizations has
reached a critical point. Many do not undersand what is
being leavened into churches by the EC leadership. Many
would be shocked to know their belief systems involve
Universalism, New Age, defense of postmodernism,
Interfaithism, and many other false doctrines. In order
to reach out to this generation the EC leadership is proposing
a whole new "map" to deal with what they perceive is a lack of
understanding on the part of the churches on how to
communicate. EC proponants believe the "scripture" for
today is evolving and must change in order to reach
postmoderns. Go here for

True Revival by Sandy
Simpson, 1/2/09
We have been treated to many years of counterfeit revivals by
way of Toronto, Brownsville,
Lakeland led by many
false teachers like John
Arnott, John
Kilpatrick, Todd
Bentley, Benny Hinn, Rodney
Howard-Browne, C.
Peter Wagner, John
Wimber and hundreds of others. The Latter
Rain ideas of revival are not based on what the Bible
teaches is true revival at all. They teach that revival
can be staged and planned when brought to town by those who
carry a transferable anointing. I have dealt with the
issue of a transferable
anointing in a number of other articles proving there is
no such thing according to the Bible. The Holy Spirit is
the One who brings revival, not according to the enthusiasm
and orchestrations of man ... not by the will of men.
Revival can only as a result of true repentance and
forgiveness.

The Zeitgeist Movement by
Sandy Simpson, 3/10/09
Lest you think that the US and the rest of the world are NOT
headed for global governance, let me tell you about one of a
number of organizations promoting Globalism and save the
planet. The Zeitgeist Movement has been sponsoring
"ZDay" events since 2008. They have already sponsored
"over 365 events in 63 nations so far." They teach that there
is no government but the earth.
The Global
Coherence Initiative by Sandy Simpson, 3/17/09
On the heels of my discovery of The
Zeitgeist Movement I was alerted to another global
movement called The Global Coherence Initiative while
listening to George Nori (a radio show that is a laugh a
minute though intended to be serious). My first thought
was: you have to be "coherant" in order to understand that
this is the opposite of cohearnce ... it is incoherence,
incongruity ... nonsense. If those who buy into these
things would become coherant they would learn a thing
or two. Any group of people who think that that science
will be able to "observe changes in the earth’s
magnetic field and test the hypothesis that the
earth’s field is affected by mass human emotion,
positive or negative" have got a collective serious screw
loose.

The Ugly Side Of Diaprax
by Sandy Simpson, 4/10/09
There has been a concerted effort by the false teachers from
many movements inside the church such as Word of Faith, New
Apostolic Reformation (NAR)/Latter Rain, World Gathering on
Indigenous People and Emerging Church among others to diaprax
people into thinking that the church has been ineffective
until they came along with their new and improved ideas on how
to take over the world. This is always a feature of the
Hegelian Dialectical process put into action by praxis, thus
diaprax. In order to form a new paradigm or worldview
the leadership of these movements must villify orthodox
Biblical Christianity. Let's look at some of those
statements.

"Emerging Theology" Is An
Oxymoron by Sandy Simpson, 5/8/09
There was no theology presented in this lecture, per
se. The overriding theme was that the EC wants to help
Christians "find God in the world" and for them to "look like
Jesus". Sounds good but what does that mean? Does
that mean going back to Roman Catholic liturgy and the
Eucharist which Middendorf promotes? Does it mean
incorporating mystical and New Age practices into the
churches? Does that look like Jesus? I think
not.
"Christians"
Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura by Sandy
Simpson, 5/18/09
There are a number of the leadership of the Emerging Church
(EC) who do not believe that the Bible is the highest
authority for the Christian faith. Most do not believe
that the Bible is inerrant in the original manuscripts and
many do not acknowledge that the Bible is our highest
revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine over which true
believers and false brethren must separate.

False Teachers ...
REVISITED! by Sandy Simpson. ACT, 9/03/09
I often receive requests to present updated false teachings
and false prophecies by the myriad of heretics out
there. We do try to keep up with all the latest.
But I have to remind people that those we have exposed as
false on our site have not repented of what they have already
done in the past, which is why they are still on our
site. So what they are doing now has no relevance as to
whether or not they are now to be considered a true Biblical
teacher. If and when they repent, that is renounce their
false teachings and false prophecies, make restitution to
those they have deceived, and begin to teach sound Biblical
doctrine we will give you that information. As of now
NONE of the people we have exposed have repented of their
Latter Rain, Word of Faith teachings, heretical practices or
their false prophecies. But in the interest of helping
you to respond to a person who inquires by saying: "Those
articles are old and you need newer materials" well, here is
some newer stuff you can add to the pile. For you and me
this really makes no difference, but for those who are living
in deception perhaps it might demolish one of their arguments
against the truth. I will only deal with quotes from 2007
through 2009 in this article. I will not go into
detailed analysis of these newer quotes in order to save
space, but will present a short comment and link you elsewhere
for the detailed report, if there is one.
The Intention
Experiment - Wrong intentions? by
Sandy Simpson, 9/23/09
The real purpose behind the Intention Experiment is to fool
people into thinking they are little gods, as is the ascertion
of Brown and Taggart, and to get them there through
introducing them to, what amounts to, transcendental
meditation and the Zeitgeist, the spirit of the air, the devil
(Eph. 2:2). It is leading to the moment of the fruition
of this idea, when it has fully diapraxed enough people, when
the AntiChrist will use this to make is look like humanity can
get together and cause there to be peace on earth through
their thoughts. He will tell them that they are all
"gods" collectively, him being the best manifestation of god,
and they will believe him. But then he will force people
to worship him, thus proving that he is possessed by the false
god who fell from heaven (Rev. 13:14-18).
Comments on the Rick Warren
LETTER/VIDEO STATEMENT TO UGANDAN CHURCH LEADERS by
Sandy Simpson, 12/11/09
Though some of the provisions of the anti-homosexuality bill
are unjust and should be removed we have to understand that
HIV/AIDS is a huge problem there and is being propagated and
spread by homosexual behaviors as well as other methods.
Uganda is trying to find ways to protect their society against
this deadly sexual disease. Warren states that we all
have "the freedom to make moral choices and our right to free
expression are gifts endowed by God.". This statement
comes from his erroneous teaching on "gifts". He has
taught repeatedly on this subject in his "Purpose" series and
often confuses natural gifts with spiritual ones. Do we
have the right to make choices that cause others to die of
AIDS? If the "free expression" of homosexuality is a
"gift endowed by God" then why does God prohibit it in
Scripture? We are not just free to do anything we want
as people created by God. There are laws against murder,
and infecting others with HIV/AIDS should be prosecuted just
as any other act of murder is. If you knowingly give
someone poison and they die will you not be tried for that
crime? I have often stated that false faith
healers like Benny Hinn ought to be indicted for claiming they
have healed people from AIDS when he has not even checked out
to see if it is true. If you don't believe me get our
video series on Benny Hinn and see for yourself:

Journey Into Wholeness or
Journey Into Worldliness? - A comment on "40 Days of
Reflection & Growth" (Spiritual Formation) being taught
at Trevecca Nazarene University by Sandy Simpson,
12/15/09
The bottom line is that this EC type of questionnaire gets
the student to look within themselves for the answer instead
of to the written Word. This can only lead to more
confusion and will certainly not lead to spiritual
formation.

A Whole Lot Of Wishful
Thinking These Days
by Sandy Simpson, 2/5/10
In this article I want to detail a number of beliefs people
have these days that have no basis in Scripture. I am
going to roam all over the map, so to speak, and try to give
fairly short answers on a number of topics and also give you
useful links to articles that will help you deal with any
particular issue. It is truly amazing how many false
ideas people cling to without giving a thought to what the
Bible has to say on the subject.
Discernment Is
Essential by Sandy Simpson, 8/29/10
I want to offer a concrete suggestion on how to stem the tide
of leaven coming into the churches. I do this in light
of criticism often leveled at discernment ministries that they
are only interesting in criticizing. Though we as
believers are to use discernment and be critical of false
teaching, comparing everything to the ultimate authority in
the life of the believer, the written Word, you will find that
most discernment and apologetics ministries do a very good job
of offering both Biblical true teaching and practical
suggestions on how to implement it. What I am going to
suggest to you is something some churches are doing but I
would like to see every church do ...
Does Daniel 10 really support the
teaching of territorial spirits and spiritual mapping?
by Sandy Simpson, 11/15/10
You cannot have the teaching of spiritual mapping without the
concept of territorial demons, and you cannot have the idea of
territorial demons without Daniel 10. This is the "go
to" story that those who teach spiritual mapping always "go
to". But does this story really support the idea of
territorial spirits? The answer is no. If you read
the commentaries on this passage you will find that, up until
the mid seventeen hundreds, the commentators all focused on
the human aspect of this story. After that the commentators
began to adopt the idea that it is focused on territorial
spirits. As usual the older commentators were
correct. They did not take a leap of interpretation but
rather followed generally accepted rules of hermeneutics.

Updated! Leonard
Sweet Quotes compiled by Sandy Simpson. 3/10
This is a page containing a number of quotes proving Leonard
Sweet, probably the leading spokesman promoting Emergent
Church, is a false teacher. I will comment in blue about
each quote. The issue of Sweet being invited into many
churches and Christian universities to speak has become even
direr as recently he was invited
to
speak at a Calvary Chapel conference.
Jeremiah's Prayer by
Sandy Simpson, ACT, 4/26/10
I am writing this article as an encouragement to those
Christians who use discernment, especially the
discernment/apologetics ministries. This passage was an
encouragement to me so I would like to pass along what the
Lord showed me. Jeremiah's prayer is reflected in our
own prayers to the Lord when we find ourselves under heavy
attack from the enemy and from his servants.
Are you an under
shepherd or hireling? by Sandy Simpson, ACT,
5/9/10
The Bible lays out the definitions of both an overseer (under
shepherd) and a hireling. A hireling does not really care
about being a watchman, but is more concerned with protecting
his reputation, position and income. A true watchman
will guard the flock against wolves from within (Acts 20:30)
and without (Acts 20:29) no matter the cost to his reputation,
position or income. This is a little quiz you can take to see
if you are a true Biblical under shepherd as a leader in your
church, are becoming a hireling, or are one now.
On Emergent Church leaders calling
apologetics and discernment ministries "Online Discernment
Ministries" (ODM) by Sandy Simpson, 5/14/10
It does not surprise me at all that prominent Emergent Church
(EC) leadership and others associated with that movement would
use name calling as a way to try to shut up opposition to
their false teachings. This is typical for Christian
liberals. Rather than answer to what they have been
writing in their books and teaching on in public for years,
they resort to name calling. The term they are using
lately is ODM meaning online discernment ministries.
They use that term in a disparaging way but the term itself
shows that they do not know how to do research and are not
interested in the facts about many apologetics ministries.

How to be "unsaturated" by
Sandy Simpson, 9/24/10
I guess you think this is going to be an article about
cholesterol or saturated fat. No. This is an
article on how to get away from those who use pantheistic
terms for the work of the person of the Holy Spirit and claim
they can pass the Spirit to you by the laying on of hands!
Regarding the Pre-Trib
Rapture argument that the Church is not mentioned after
Revelation 4:1 by Sandy Simpson, 10/10/10
I am not going to start a debate on the whether Pre-Trib,
Mid-Trib, Pre-Wrath, Post-Trib or other Premillennial Rapture
scenarios are Biblically correct. They all have a basis
in Scripture. Pre-Tribers, however, sometimes try to
come off as if they have a corner on the market of
truth. But one of their arguments for a Pre-Trib rapture
is not correct. I have heard the argument time and again
... that a proof of a Pre-Trib Rapture is that the "Church" is
not mentioned after Revelation 4, therefore proving that since
the Church is not mentioned the Church is no longer on earth.
Audio Added! The
New Indigenous "Christian" Religion by Sandy
Simpson, 10/23/10 - You can get the audio version of this
article here.
Nothing exemplifies the new indigenous "Christian" movement of
people like Richard Twiss, Daniel Kikawa, Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM
and other proponents so much as the following statement on the
home page of the Aloha Ka Akua web site. As Indigenous
people, we need to embrace God as ours, and also know
that God embraces us as His. . . just as we are.
Our goal is to provide indigenous people, missionaries and
Christians with information, training and materials that show
the true nature of Jesus;that his way is not to be a
foreign religion that destroys people groups and their
cultures, but one that brings people groups and their
cultures to their highest fulfillment. (Aloha Ke Akua,
home page as of 10/23/10,
http://akaministries.tripod.com/aloha/)
Does Daniel 10 really support the
teaching of territorial spirits and spiritual mapping?
by Sandy Simpson, 11/15/10
You cannot have the teaching of spiritual mapping without the
concept of territorial demons, and you cannot have the idea of
territorial demons without Daniel 10. This is the "go
to" story that those who teach spiritual mapping always "go
to". But does this story really support the idea of
territorial spirits? The answer is no. If you read
the commentaries on this passage you will find that, up until
the mid seventeen hundreds, the commentators all focused on
the human aspect of this story. After that the
commentators began to adopt the idea that it is focused on
territorial spirits. As usual the older commentators
were correct. They did not take a leap of interpretation
but rather followed generally accepted rules of hermeneutics.
Is anybody else creeped out by
all this talk about Obama being "God"? by Sandy
Simpson, 11/21/10
Disregarding the fact that calling any man on earth today
"God" is blasphemy, this tactic by the liberal media to
continually attribute god-like qualities or call Obama "God"
or "Messiah" should make many people, especially Christians,
very uncomfortable. The latest attempt at making Obama
some kind of "god" was in the latest Newsweek of November 22,
2010.
Harold Camping Strikes (Out)
Again! by Sandy Simpson, 12/5/10
Imagine my shock when I heard that Harold Camping was up to
his former tricks in predicting, using some kind of fancy
numerology, that Jesus Christ will return on May 21,
2011. I quickly thought about how I would cancel my
plane reservations to speak at a discernment conference.
I mean, if Jesus is coming back then there will no longer be a
need to expose false teachers because they will have met their
demise along with their leader. But then I realized,
Camping is himself a false teacher and so I thought I would
write this article to use on my speaking trip since I will be
talking about his second failed prediction then.
The Emergent Church Teaching
On The Trinity "Loving Community" by Sandy Simpson,
12/10/10
There is a fairly new teaching in the Emergent Church (EC) on
the Trinity as an example of a "loving community" thereby
giving evidence that anyone who names the name of Christ is to
be a loving community, in unity with "humanity".

The Truth Behind The Postmodern
Emergent Church by Sandy Simpson, 1/7/11
I am quite familiar with what drives the younger generation
today because it was what I had to repent of when I was a
youth. So I know the desire to try to justify yourself
and what you are doing because you want to be able to continue
to do those things while assuaging your conscience because so
many others are doing them along with you. I attempted
some of the same tactics when I had drifted away from the Lord
early in my life. But no amount of jury-rigging the
truth can change God's absolute truth. The bottom line
is that, as believers, we either have to choose to follow the
foolishness of men or the wisdom of God. 1Co 3:19 For
the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s
sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their
craftiness"; {Job 5:13}
The Handkerchief Phenomenon -
Addendum To "A Whole Lot Of Wishful Thinking These Days"
by Sandy Simpson, 1/24/11
There is a new phenomenon especially among some island
churches where handkerchiefs are being handed around a
congregation claiming that they have an anointing that can
cause people to be healed and other miraculous things happen
to them. The problem with this idea is especially
evident in two things: (1) that this can and is being
considered by many to be Christian magic and (2) that it is
being taught as being something that should be a normal part
of the Christian experience. It is taught that if you
have faith you will believe in touching the handkerchief that
you will be healed, freed from demons, or get a special
anointing.
Audio Added! Good
Church Choices by Sandy Simpson, 2003 - You can get
the audio version of this article here.
This page is some recommendations on how to find a good
church. What you need to find is a church that not only
has orthodox doctrinal statements but teaches, both explicitly
and implicitly, in line with the core doctrines of the
Faith. These are Bible-believing Christ-centered
churches that are balanced in their theology. Be sure to
test all churches before you become involved. Here are
some tips for finding a good church.
"Examine
yourselves to see whether you are in the Faith" by
Sandy Simpson, ACT, 3/3/11
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are
in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realise that
Christ Jesus is in you— unless, of course, you fail
the test? People who call themselves followers or Christ
or "Christians" and claim they are born again must believe
certain things. If they do not then they fail the test of
faith. They can claim they are born again all they want
and "once saved, always saved" but if they fail the test of
faith there is no eternal security. Only God knows who
will be saved, from beginning to end, because of His
foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom. 8:29, 1 Pet. 1:2). God
did not make an arbitrary judgment about who would be saved and
who would not. His Spirit is given to those He foreknew,
when convicted of sin by His Holy Spirit, would choose to
believe and commit themselves to Jesus Christ. We are not
God and we do not have His omniscience. Therefore we must
be sure our belief system is in the right place once our eyes
have been opened to the Truth. I am not saying we do not
have assurance of salvation, but our assurance comes not only
because of His Atonement and promises of salvation but from our
continuing in the Faith, which is always the Biblical criteria.
Those who would teach must teach according to the whole counsel
of God's Word. Let me be clear. There is only one way to
salvation. That is by grace alone through faith
alone in Christ alone. I will deal with a few of those
issues following, but it is important to recognize that being
saved is not just a matter of believing that Jesus lived, or
that He was a man, or simply giving mental ascent to His
existence in whatever form. The Bible gives this as the
only criteria to be saved: Ac 16:31 31 And
they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (KJV)
Hold
On! by Sandy Simpson, 3/7/11
1 Tim. 4:1-2 But the Spirit explicitly says that in
later times some will fall away from the faith, paying
attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by
means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own
conscience as with a branding iron ... (NASB) If
we are to pay attention and obey the written Word we must
listen to what the Holy Spirit says. It is not I who
wrote the above. I am simply reminding Christians that
in the end times some will fall away from the Faith.
Clear and simple. This is why the Lord reminds those who
claim to be His followers that we need to hold on till the
end. The word for "hold on" is katecho meaning hold, hold
fast, keep, possess, stay, take, have, make. The Bible
tells believers to hold on and keep what they have till the
end. But what are we to hold on to?
Signs Of Apostasy In The Church In
The End Times by Sandy Simpson, 4/11
There are many signs of the great Apostasy, or falling away
(2 Thes. 2:3) indicating we are living in the end times.
Mike Oppenheimer presented a number of things in his last
sermon on what is going on in the world at large to indicate
that we are living in the end times. Mt. 24: 3-14
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples
came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this
happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the
end of the age?" Jesus answered: "Watch out that no-one
deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming,
‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that
you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is
still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in
various places. All these are the beginning of birth-pains.
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to
death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At
that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray
and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and
deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness,
the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the
end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be
preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and
then the end will come. (NIV) I am going to go through some
indications of the Apostasy in the churches as a follow up to
the signs of the times in the world. I have told you
about many false prophets, false apostles, false teachers and
false Christs through the years. But who ever
thought that a president of the United States would be
considered by many to be the Messiah or God?
General Jerry Boykin and his ties to
The Knights of Malta and Rick Joyner - Compiled by
Sandy Simpson, 7/21/11
This paper exposes what General Boykin has been doing in
Calvary Chapels and his associations. He is Grand
Chancellor of the Vatican's Jesuitical "Knights of Malta" (KOM
swear fealty to the pope) and is involved with Rick Joyner in
MorningStar, which is part of the New Apostolic
Reformation. Joyner is a member of the International
Coalitions of Apostles under C. Peter Wagner, and soon to be
under Chuck Pierce as Wagner is retiring. Joyner is a
long time false prophet who was a member of the original
Kansas City Prophets who brought the false anointing, false
prophecy and false apostleship through the teachings of the
Latter Rain into many churches.
Did God Put "Eternity In Their
Hearts" or "The World In Their Hearts"? by Sandy
Simpson, 8/4/11
In the introduction to Mike Oppenheimer's and my book
"Idolatry In Thier Hearts" I exposed the fact that Don
Richardson pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier Hearts" to use
as his book title from it's context in Ecc. 3:11. He did
this to support his thesis, which actually contradicts the
second part of that verse, where it states that man cannot
fathom what God has done. Richardson, rather, sets forth what
has become the foundation for the false teachings of the
WCGIP, YWAM, a number of Bible translation societies and the
Emerging Church ... the propostion that all men have always
been seeking God and that all Gentile cultures were already
worshipping the true God before missionaries came with the
Gospel.
Heresy by Proxy by Sherry
Neese, 10/1/07
ACT Note: In light of the excuses being made by Calvary Chapel
pastors as to their engaging Gen. Jerry Boykin to be the lead
speaker at the How
To
Walk 2011 Conference at Calvary Chapel Honolulu, even
though he has been working with a documented false teacher,
false prophet, member of the International Coallition of
Apostles under C. Peter Wagner, and member of the Knghts of
Malta, Rick
Joyner, I am reprinting this article as a reminder ... you
bring down the cause of Christ when you associate with false
teachers and false religionists. Promoters of Dominionism such
as Boykin and Joyner are so far off the teachings and examples
of the Bible that it isn't even funny. There is no, I
repeat, NO evidence or teaching that we are to take over the
world now to advance the Kingdom of Christ. The only way
we can do help the coming Kingdom is to preach the Gospel which
will establish the Kingdom in the spirits of men. Those
who truly believe and are born again are then promised to be
rulers and judges in Christ's physical Kingdom that will be
established at His second coming. Till then we have a job
to do and those who teach Dominionism are hurting the cause of
Christ. The early church did not try to Christianize Rome
(until the third century) and we are not called to Christianize
the world. We are to be light and salt but we have
absolutely NO mandate to "overthrow"
the
governments of this world as C. Peter Wager has dictated
from his fake position as a "foundational
apostle" in the modern church. The fact that Calvary
Chapel is now allowing this C. Peter Wagner agenda to be
promoted among it's attendees shows that the apostasy is in full
swing. They have been warned repeatedly by a number of
people by letter, face to face, by phone, by emails and by many
articles. But since a certain group has responded in a
belligerent way every time they are warned it is time to warn
people away from those CC churches participating in this
deception that constitutes a falling away from true biblical
teaching. Guilt by association? Yes, Calvary Chapel
is now guilty of that and in fact is guilty of guilt by
cooperation.
A Response To "An Urgent Message
From Peter" by Sandy Simpson, 8/20/11
This is my response to the email from
C. Peter Wagner attempting to explain why the New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR) movement is not a cult. From my
perspective he digs himself in deeper by showing the lack of
substantiation from the Bible for what the NAR
promotes. Following you will find the full text of his
email and my comments.
A
Tale Of Two Kingdoms by Sandy Simpson, 8/31/11
Be careful of those who teach about a "kingdom" that is not
the same as what the Bible teaches. There are two kingdoms
being taught in many churches today. Teaching about one of the
kingdoms is on the decline while the other is being promoted
all over the place. I am warning Christians that they
need to check out who is using the word "kingdom", the books
they have been reading and recommend on building "the
kingdom", the people they have been hanging out with at
conferences, and what they mean by "the kingdom". Biblical
Christians need to understand that many of the New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR), Emergent Church, Church Growth, Word of
Faith and other related movements are operating under a
paradigm shift. Because of that when they use the word
"kingdom" they do not have the same biblical concept of that
word that biblical Christians do. Whether purposely or under
the influence of the Zeitgeist, the "new breed" paradigm
shifters use the word "kingdom" in order to lure people into
their Dominionist/social gospel worldview. They know
that most Christians love to hear about the "kingdom" so they
act like they are talking to them in the unity of the
Faith. But they are not. This is an old trick of the
false teachers and cults. They redefine certain words so
that when they talk to biblical Christians they can sound like
they are on the same page. For instance, the New Age
cult called "Unity" did this years ago with many Christian
terms and was able to lure in some people on that basis. Once
you lure them in then you slowly brainwash them away from
their former understanding of those terms into a new paradigm.
The first concept is called Kingdom "Kingdom Now (KN)" and the
second we will call "Kingdom Come (KC)". "Thy Kingdom
come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt.
6:10). KN claims this prayer is about Kingdom Now.
Biblical Christians understand this is referring to the
Kingdom being first established in the spirits of born again
believers (Col. 1:13) and finally physically established in
the Millennial Kingdom of Christ when He returns (1 Cor.
15:24), since the dominion over the earth currently has been
temprarily given to the devil (Luke 4:5-8, Eph. 2:2). 1Jo
5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the
whole world is under the control of the evil one.
Audio Added! Defending Apologetics
by Sandy Simpson, 9/7/11 - You can get the audio version of this
article here.
Why is it that "Christian" leadership, when documented as
having taught false teachings or having done unbiblical things
publicly and then those things are exposed publicly, have a
conniption fit? They berate those who want to warn them
and others not to teach falsely and want you to contact them
personally or want to have a private meeting to talk about
it. But then if you do contact them personally or have a
meeting all you meet with is "attitude" and nothing gets
changed. What is the use of that? Why do people
who may have been true biblical teachers turned false teachers
assume they have the right to air what they do in public but
those who refute do not have the same rights?
Episode 43 -
November 2011, Sandy Simpson: The New Apostolic Reformation
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers,
disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. –
2Corinthians 11:13 Sandy Simpson, of the Apologetics
Coordination Team, joins me to discuss the New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR). Sandy runs Deception in the Church, an
extensive library of resources on the NAR and related
movements and organizations. Sandy does a fantastic job of
describing in just an hour a movement that really needs many
hours to really understand properly. It is my hope that this
episode will inspire people to dig deeper to learn more about
the New Apostolic Reformation and the unbiblical practices
that go on within the movement. Please check out the show
notes and visit the additional resources section. The New
Apostolic Reformation is a dangerous movement that is carrying
many Christians away from orthodox, Biblical practices. This

The Truths Of Ezekiel 13 Still Apply Today? by Sandy
Simpson, 3/1/12 - You can get the audio version of this article
here.
God is going to bring down the false global religion that is
already here consisting of ecumenism, interfaithism and false
teachings and prophecies of all kinds, just as He promised to
break down the whitewashed wall the false prophets built up to
deceive Israel. God will ultimately protect both His
Church and those who actually belong to it who have not been
turned aside by myths and false teachings. Do you think this
chapter still applies or is it ancient history? Let me
illustrate how these timeless truths apply just as much today
as to when God had repeatedly told Israel they were headed for
captivity if they listened to the counsel of false
prophets. God has warned us ahead of time that we of the
end times churches will see a falling away and many will be
deceived.

by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this

I am going to go over an article I wrote back

the false teachings of the World Christian Gathering on
Indigenous People movement, the Emerging Church and the New
Apostolic Reformation which got their ideas from the book
“Eternity in Their Hearts” by Don
Richardson. At the time that book came out no one
really saw the dangerous ideas Richardson was
promoting. All they would have had to do was look at
the two subtitles of that book to understand the
implications. The first subtitle in the 1981 edition
read: The Untold Story of Christianity among Folk Religions
of Ancient People. Those who read this book found some
interesting cross-cultural ideas but apparently missed the
false premise of the book starting with the subtitle. How
could Christianity be “among folk
religions” where the Gospel had not been preached
(Rom. 10:14-15)? At that time Christians who read the book
were apparently satisfied that, though there was some
questionable material present, it made for an interesting
discussion on how to do cross-cultural ministry. The
subtitle it has today, which was first published in 1984, is
as follows: Startling Evidence of Belief in the One True God
in Hundreds of Cultures Throughout the World. This
should have been a red flag for many Christians but then,
who reads subtitles? But how could the “One
True God” be known to Gentiles who, the Bible
states, did “not know God”.

Resources For
Pastors
including
"Good English Bible
Translations"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I was talking with a pastor after a Wednesday
night service and he mentioned that I said I had done an
article comparing English Bible translations. He
called me up later and asked me to come back and present the
contents of that article I sent out in about 2002 to my
mailing list for the Pacific Waves Newsletter which,
unfortunately, I can no longer afford to publish and
mail. However an archive of past issues of that
newsletter can be found here.
In that article I detailed a number of good and bad
resources for pastors including Bible translations,
concordances, commentaries, Bible dictionaries, etc. I
present an edited version of part of that article on this
DVD, particularly dealing with English Translations of the
Bible. Translation is a very detailed endeavor and
should only be undertaken by those with a proper education
in that subject and a sound doctrinal background. I
read a few books on that subject and it helped me understand
the complexities involved. Hebrew is a rich language
so it is hard to distill one Hebrew word down to one English
word. Greek is a very technical language and it is
also not easy to translate. This is why it is
imperative to use the good English translations out there
for comparison along with a good concordance and Bible
dictionary.

Examine Yourselves
& Hold On!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the articles "Examine Yourself To See If
You Are In The Faith" and "Hold
On!"
2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves
to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.
Do you not realise that Christ Jesus is in
you— unless, of course, you fail the test?
People who call themselves followers of
Christ or "Christians" and claim they are born again must
believe certain things. If they do not then they fail
the test of faith. They can claim they are born again
all they want and "once saved, always saved" but if they
fail the test of faith there is no eternal security.
Only God knows who will be saved, from beginning to end,
because of His foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom. 8:29, 1
Pet. 1:2). God did not make an arbitrary judgment
about who would be saved and who would not. His Spirit
is given to those He foreknew, when convicted of sin by His
Holy Spirit, would choose to believe and commit themselves
to Jesus Christ. We are not God and we do not have His
omniscience. Therefore, according to Paul, we must be
sure our belief system is in the right place once our eyes
have been opened to the Truth. I am not saying we do
not have assurance of salvation, but our assurance comes not
only because of His Atonement and promises of salvation but
from our continuing in the Faith, which is always the
Biblical criteria. Those who would be Bible teachers must
teach according to the whole counsel of God's Word.
Let me be clear. There is only one way to salvation.
That is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ
alone. I will deal with a few of those issues
following, but it is important to recognize that being saved
is not just a matter of believing that Jesus lived, or that
He was a man, or simply giving mental ascent to His
existence in whatever form.

55:
November 2012, Sandy Simpson: The New Apostolic Reformation
- Part 2
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
sheep’s clothing but inwardly are kravenous wolves."
- Matthew 7:15 A year ago, for
the
November 2011 episode, I interviewed Sandy Simpson on
the New Apostolic Reformation. Sandy heads up the Apologetics
Coordination
Team, and runs Deception
in
the Church, an extensive library of resources on the NAR
and related movements and organizations. This episode is a
follow-up to our previous discussion. We began with the
assumption that those listening have heard the first
discussion we had. If you haven't, that episode can be found
here. We answer some questions people had from that episode,
get into some further examination of the New Apostolic
Reformation, and try to keep from repeating what was already
covered as much as possible.
Audio Added! A Trip To Hell? by Sandy
Simpson, 11/8/12 - You can get the audio version of this article
here.
I am writing this article to expose yet another
“trip to hell” story making the rounds on
the web. There is a PowerPoint presentation about it and
people who get it are being urged to forward it to ten more
people. Before I get into commenting on this story,
which is quoted in full from the PowerPoint, I need to help
you understand how to discern these types of stories.
One of the most important ways is to compare what is said with
what the Bible teaches, both in the actual account of hell we
have there as well as comparing it to what the Bible teaches
doctrinally and about Jesus Christ. The full text of the
PowerPoint is in red while my comments are in black.
Updated 2012! Is anybody else creeped out by all
this talk about Obama being "God"? by Sandy Simpson,
11/21/10
Disregarding the fact that calling any man on earth today
"God" is blasphemy, this tactic by the liberal media to
continually attribute god-like qualities or call Obama "God"
or "Messiah" should make many people, especially Christians,
very uncomfortable. The latest attempt at making Obama
some kind of "god" was in the latest Newsweek of November 22,
2010. Check out the 2012 updates to this
article!

2012 Was
Not The Apocalypse! But When Is It? by Sandy
Simpson, 1/1/2013
When asked by a number of people if the Mayan prediction was
going to come true for the end of the world to occur on
12/21/12 my answer was “What makes you think the
Mayans could predict the end of the world if they could not
even predict their own demise?” Likely they
simply ran out of space in the scribbling of their calendar on
their cave walls. But is there any reliable source of
information about when the Apocalypse will occur? Yes
there is. The Bible prophecies have been accurate all
through history so it is our only source of reliable prophecy
regarding the end times. If you want information on how
close we are to the end you need look no further than what
Jesus told His disciples when asked that very question in
Matthew 24.
The
Question Of Dominion by Sandy Simpson, 2/13/13
I am writing this article as an apologetic against the Third
Wave, Latter Rain, Word of Faith and Reformed Theology
teachings that the Church is to rise up and take over the
systems of government, businesses and every other aspect of
life. "See, the problem is, is that Satan has had too
much of his way in our society because he has a
government! And the only way to overthrow a
government is with a government. It
won’t happen otherwise. So therefore the
government of the church has to get into place in the
extended church just like we do have it very well in place, we
haven’t reached our goal yet ..." (Transcript
of C. Peter Wagner, Arise Prophetic Conference, Gateway
Church, San Jose, CA, 10-10-2004) Wagner has substituted
the "government of the church" for the coming government of
Jesus Christ in the Millennial Kingdom. Wagner is
"Kingdom Now" while the Bible teaches "Kingdom Come".
Testing
Music In The Church

This DVD is a message based on these articles: Testing
Music

Music
In The Church-Part 2, and Worship
Song
Ratings.
Too many churches today are allowing music
to be used in their services that is not glorifying to the
Lord and can actually be a hindrance to the teaching of
sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should be using their
leadership role to test what is being played and sung in
their churches. Though some are quick to test preaching
and teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the music
being used in the same services. This is a tragic mistake.
Music is a powerful medium. It is something that effects
deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven fact
that music often stays with a person far longer than what
is taught or preached. Songs roam around in our heads,
especially if the melody appeals to us. What is often
overlooked is the serious impression music makes on
people, and the teaching they are getting over and over
again as they allow the song to repeat in their minds and
on their lips. Music teaches things much more subtly yet
sometimes far more effectively. That's why the lyrical
content of music in the church, as well as its effect on
the spiritual lives of those who perform and listen,
should be vigorously examined by the leaders of the
church. This is a 2-DVD
set.

Shepherd
Or Hireling?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the article: "Shepherd
Or
Hireling?"
The Bible lays out the definitions of both
an overseer (under shepherd) and a hireling. John
10:11-13 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd
giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling,
and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth
the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and
the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The
hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not
for the sheep. (KJV) 1 Tim. 3:1-3 Here
is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being
an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer
must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife,
temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able
to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but
gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. (NIV)
Titus 1:7-13 Since an overseer is entrusted with
God's work, he must be blameless—not
overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness,
not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must
be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is
self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must
hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been
taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine
and refute those who oppose it. For there are many
rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially
those of the circumcision group. They must be silenced,
because they are ruining whole households by teaching
things they ought not to teach—and that for the
sake of dishonest gain. Even one of their own prophets has
said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy
gluttons." This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them
sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith. (NIV) A
hireling does not really care about being a watchman, but
is more concerned with protecting his reputation, position
and income. A true watchman will guard the flock
against wolves from within (Acts 20:30) and without (Acts
20:29) no matter the cost to his reputation, position or
income. Following is a little quiz you can take to see if
you are a true Biblical under shepherd as a leader in your
church, are becoming a hireling, or are one now.

How close are
we to the Second Coming? by Sandy Simpson,
5/27/13
Matt. 24:34 "I tell you the truth, this generation

destruction of the temple and what would happen to precede the
end times and His return has intrigued many through the
generations. But it is not until this generation that
it's meaning has become clearer.
"Christians"
Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article: "Christians" Who Try To Poke
Holes In Sola Scriptura
There are a number of the leadership of the
Emerging Church (EC) who do not believe that the Bible is
the highest authority for the Christian faith. Most do
not believe that the Bible is inerrant in the original
manuscripts and many do not acknowledge that the Bible is
our highest revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine
over which true believers and false brethren must separate.
Those who try to poke holes in Sola Scriptura make excuses
like (1) we need to reinterpret the Bible through the lens
of postmodern culture and religion (2) the Bible never uses
the words "Sola Scriptura" therefore it is not a Biblical
concept (3) there is new revelation for the church through
the Holy Spirit apart from what is written and the precepts
of the Bible and (4) the Bible just doesn't address our
postmodern situation therefore we cannot rely on it for the
truth and answers for our problems today. I will prove
that all the above arguments, and more, from EC leaders and
others is exactly what they are teaching. I will give
you quotes from their teachings, videos and books. The
postmodern church and its "movements" are abandoning Sola
Scriptura in their rush to be like the Roman Catholic
Church, which takes its authority from a mix of Scripture
and tradition.
"As a result the Church, to whom the
transmission and interpretation of Revelation is
entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all
revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both
Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with
EQUAL sentiments of devotion and reverence." (Roman
Catholic Catechism, Given October 11, 1992, the thirtieth
anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican
Ecumenical Council, in the fourteenth year of my
Pontificate. Page 31).

The
Missionaries Brought A Foreign God ... DUH! by Sandy
Simpson, 7/7/13
There is a repeated charge by adherents of the Word Christian
Gathering on Indigenous People movement and Emerging Church
that Christian missionaries brought news of a foreign god to
most of the world.
"...
this
Christian concept of god ... is really something that was
here (in Hawaii) from the very beginning"-Wayne Cordeiro,
transcript of Connecting Point television interview of Daniel
Kikawa by Wayne Cordeiro, July 15, 2005
Cordeiro states that Kikawa is a �respected scholar� and at
the end wishes them the very best as �we continue to educate
people of the true origins of faith in Hawaii.� Frankly some
of the worst scholarship I have ever run into apart from the
Transformations films by George Otis, Jr. are the books and
materials put out by Kikawa. Cordeiro is stating that
they will work together to educate people of the true origins
of faith in Hawaii� when Kikawa�s claims are, by in large,
fraudulent. This kind of information along with a whole
host of other false teachings are being passed along in
Cordeiro�s churches and school as well as in the Worlc
Christian Gathering on Indigenous People conferences.

Simpson, 7/22/13
In conclusion, this puts the matter to rest about the claims

who make these claims need to learn from anthropology,
archeology and especially from the Bible!
Catholic Syncretism Forms
The Basis For The Teachings Of The World Christian Gathering
on Indigenous People Movement (WCGIP) by Sandy
Simpson, 8/2/13
The teachings of the WCGIP and their source materials by

syncretism that is leading to the one world false religion of
"the woman who rides the beast" (Rev. 17:6-8).
The History Of The Knowledge
and Worship Of God by Sandy Simpson, 8/9/13

People (WCGIP) advocates.
Updated and Reposted! General Jerry Boykin and his ties to The
Knights of Malta and Rick Joyner - Compiled by Sandy
Simpson, 7/21/11 - This article is being reposted because some
of the Calvary Chapel leadership involved in organizing the
upcoming conferences refused to discuss the issue of Jerry
Boykin being invited again to speak at both the "How To Walk"
and "End Times Outreach" conferences in 8/13 at Calvary Chapel
Koko Mai in Oahu, Hawaii. What Boykin has been involved
with is not "guilt by association" as at least one CC pastor
continues to repeatedly claim, but clearly guilt by
participation and proclamation of Dominionism and Kingdom Now
theologies of the Latter Rain. This paper exposes what
General Boykin has been doing in Calvary Chapels and his
associations. He is Grand Chancellor of the Vatican's
Jesuitical "Knights of Malta" (KOM swear fealty to the pope)
and is involved with Rick Joyner in MorningStar, which is part
of the New Apostolic Reformation. Joyner is a member of
the International Coalition of Apostles under C. Peter Wagner,
and soon to be under Chuck Pierce as Wagner is retiring.
Joyner is a long time false prophet who was a member of the
original Kansas City Prophets who brought the false anointing,
false prophecy and false apostleship through the teachings of
the Latter Rain into many churches.

Testing The Spirits
by Sandy Simpson, 9/6/13
Sometimes I really wonder if someone who claims to be a Bible
believing pastor, for instance, refuses to listen to the
truth. It frankly boggles my mind. I don't know if
it is as a result of the postmodern paradigm or just that they
have no love of the truth left. I don't know how that
can happen in a truly regenerate person. You would think
that the Holy Spirit would confirm the truth to them, first in
their conscience, and finally through the written Word.
But these days it is a miracle if it gets that far. I
don't know if their conscience has been so seared that they
don't hear the Spirit or if they just don't want to know the
truth because then they would be responsible for it. I
know that I cannot know their motives or the reasons why they
reject truth and refuse to talk about false teaching, but I do
know one thing. We are called as true believers to test
the spirits. We must do this even if the result is not
to our liking or befuddles us as to the reasons.

That the Enemy Has Used To Corrupt Christianity by

Statement On Jacob
Prasch by Sandy Simpson, 10/5/13
I am writing this note in response to recent charges that
Jacob Prasch is a "gnostic" because he uses Midrash. Let
me state for the record that Jacob is not a "gnostic" by any
stretch of the imagination and his teachings abundantly prove
that, as well as his statement of faith. He also does
not exclusively use Midrash to interpret Scripture but as one
tool in the arsenal of exegesis. You can read the
article on his site called How
To
Do An Exegesis as proof of what I am saying.
Those who make these charges against Jacob have neither read
this article nor his statement of faith. The ridiculous
older article forwarded to a number of discernment ministries
railing against Midrash is ill informed on that subject and
should be ignored. Jacob has helped many Gentile
believers to understand the Jewish mindset when it comes to
the Scriptures which is desperately needed. He has been
a champion of correct exegesis and proper Biblical
hermeneutics for decades. He was one apologist who
helped many of us to understand the falsehood and dangers of
the counterfeit revivals and Third Wave movement. Jacob
has been indispensable to the churches which is why I am proud
to call him a friend and mentor and why my ministry is now
affiliated with his. I am very saddened by this attack
on Jacob and would like to encourage those who are doing it to
cease and desist and learn to focus on the myriad of serious
issues facing the churches these days. Get back to work
on apologetics and stop putting down a man who has helped so
many people and will continue to do so into the future.
I would like to advise all the discernment ministries to stop
this infighting and go back to the task at hand.
Glitter Christians
by Sandy Simpson, 11/21/13
This is a name I came up with for people attending and
teaching at Oral Roberts University in the 70s. Even
back then I had come to realize that their way of representing
Christianity was not in line with the Scriptures. At
that time I didn�t know that Oral Roberts was carrying on the
Word of Faith traditions of New Thought practitioners such as
Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Essex Kenyan, Norman Vincent
Peale, Robert Schuler, and many other false teachers of the
time. Though I didn�t know anything about Word of Faith
or New Thought then I knew that the way they were representing
Christianity was just not right somehow. Their desire to
portray Christians as rich, beautiful, healthy, perfect, and
virtually sinless (holiness) went directly against the example
of Jesus, the Apostles and the early church.
Colin Brown claims God is
"Rebooting the Church" by Sandy Simpson,
12/9/13
When I read the title of this issue of the ElijahList, it
made me really angry. The title was ""Rebooting" the
Church: Changing Times and Changing Seasons". I
immediately asked myself the question: Is it a good thing to
"reboot" the Church? Revival is a good thing when it is
based on repentance (Acts 3:19). But this is not what Brown is
talking about. He is talking about "rebooting". When you
reboot a computer you turn it off and on again, erasing any
programs running, making a fresh start which sometimes works
on computers and sometimes does not (for example when there is
a virus in the computer - pun intended!). It is a good thing
to return to our first love of the Jesus Christ and the Gospel
(Rev. 2:4-5). But this is also not what Brown is talking
about. And how could he? The churches involved with the false
apostles, false prophets, false teachers of the New Apostolic
have already had their candlestick removed long ago. They can
keep rebooting themselves in their occult "slain in the
spirit" 24/7 and it will not bring repentance and refreshing.
It will only strengthen the delusion they have put themselves
under and that God is allowing on them as a condemnation.
Chuck Pierce Invites
Christians To "The Banqueting Table" by Sandy
Simpson, 12/17/13
Chuck Pierce, the new head false apostle of the New Apostolic
Reformation, formerly under false apostle C. Peter Wagner, has
just announced on the ElijahList that he wants to "invite each
of you to COME TO THE BANQUETING TABLE on January 2-5, 2014 at
the Global Spheres Center in Corinth, Texas!" This is a
call for people to sign up for yet another conference of false
apostles and false prophets, but the ad sounds like he is
inviting people to the "Marriage Supper Of The Lamb".
You may find that idea absurd until you listen to these people
"declaring" things "from the heavenlies". In another
December 16, 2013 issue of ElijahList Pierce states that they
are going to "Rend the Heavens and Let Prophetic Revelation
Fall!" These people are so deluded that they think they
are in the place of God. But when I saw that Pierce is
inviting people to this "banqueting table", which always
includes "slain in the spirit", false prophecy and lying
declarations, I was reminded of the following passage ...
Is Dominionism Working?
by Sandy Simpson, 12/18/13
Since the counterfeit revivals of the mid 80's there has been
a claim by many Latter Rain /Word of Faith groups that the
church is going to take over the world, taking control of the
governments, businesses and every other aspect of life.
Movements such as the Toronto "Blessing", Brownsville
"Outpouring", Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation,
Emergent Church, and many other related Latter Rain movements
have been claiming that they are making radical changes in
people's lives due to miracles, prophecies, dead raisings, and
growing numbers of people attending mega churches. So by now,
in 2014, we should be seeing the effects of this wonderful
scenario that the false apostles, false prophets, false
teachers, and false Christs of these movements have predicted.

Night Marchers and UFOs on the
Big Island by Sandy Simpson, 1/13/14
With the resurgence of the old religion of Hawaii and the
continual invocation of Pelé and other "deities" for years in
the secular culture and even in churches with regards to
worshipping 'Io, is it any wonder that those beings are
beginning to manifest again? In a story called "Night
Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in a YouTube
video on the same subject, eyewitnesses claim all kinds
of sightings that they think are the warriors, ancestors and
demi-gods of Hawaii coming back. Interestingly the first
book
the Hawaiian Heritage site recommends in its "Suggested
Reading" list is "Perpetuated
in
Righteousness" by Daniel Kikawa that we reviewed in our
book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" by Sandy Simpson and Mike Oppenheimer.
Since Kikawa claims that 'Io is the True God and one that the
Hawaiians worshipped in secret, we have to wonder if Kikawa
also thinks 'Io is showing up in these night marches? Since
YWAM, Aloha Ke Akua and Hilo New Hope participated in
worshipping 'Io at the "edge of Hale-ma'uma'u Crater" it
sounds like they have all been inviting the old "gods" to
return to Hawaii.
"They
Will Believe The Lie" by Sandy Simpson,
1/16/14
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 "The coming of the lawless one will be
in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of
displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the
lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are
perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth
and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful
delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all
will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have
delighted in wickedness." This has always been an interesting
passage to me for a few different reasons. What is �the
lie� that is talked about here in verse 9? What are the
ways that �wickedness deceives those who are perishing� and
how long has this been going on or does this only begin to
happen at the coming of the lawless one? In what way
does �the lie� cause those who do not believe the truth to
�delight in wickedness�?
Replacement
Theology On Steroids! by Sandy Simpson,
2/13/14
The teachings of the New Apostolic, Emergent Church and World
Christian Gathering of Indigenous People are promoting both
Inclusivism and a new, radical, Replacement Theology. It
is therefore imperative that true believers get away from
these false teachers who are teaching utter heresy and stand
up for the truths of God�s Word before all mission work is
lost.
One
of Satan�s Final Masquerades by Sandy Simpson,
2/22/14
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself
masquerades as an angel of light. Satan often disguises
himself with the purpose of deceiving people. One way in
which I believe he is putting on a masquerade is by appearing
as �Mary� to millions of people worldwide
Four Books
That the Enemy Has Used To Corrupt Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The four books that have changed the church
by giving an introduction to the false teachings of the New
Apostolic/Latter Rain (NAR), the Emerging
Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism (EC), pragmatic
Church Growth (CG) methodologies of C. Peter Wagner, Robert
Schuller and Peter Drucker, and the teachings of the World
Christian Gathering on Indigenous People (WCGIP) are as
follows:
  
These four books were widely read by
Christians from virtually every denominational background
before their ramifications and the movements they would
spawn were known. They lay error alongside truth so
were considered not to be a threat to churches.
Therefore these books then became part of the consciousness
of many Christians and churches, thereby laying the basis
for the introduction of the modern day false teachings of
the NAR, EC, CG and WCGIP that have become part of the
landscape of Christendom today.

"They
Will Believe The Lie"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I am doing a Bible study right now on what I
would call "renewing our minds". It is based on this
verse:
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern
of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's
will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The only way to renew our minds is to believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess our sins, and be saved,
then to study the written Word and allow the indwelling Holy
Spirit to teach us. Our minds are corrupted by virtue
of the sin nature and what we have learned in life because
our filters are off. I gave an illustration of straining
coconut to make coconut milk. If you use a 1 inch
screen everything will pass through. Even if you use a
quarter inch screen you will get mostly coconut meat in your
milk. You have to use a fine screen in order to
separate the milk from the leftover. Our filters are
off and the first thing God begins to do is correct our
worldview, because if your worldview is off you will not
understand God's reality. We need to learn to see
things from His perspective. This is why I started
this study by going back to an original problem.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming of the
lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He
will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and
wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that
wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish
because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that
they will believe the lie and so that all will be
condemned who have not believed the truth but have
delighted in wickedness.
This has always been an interesting passage
to me for a few different reasons. What is "the lie"
that is talked about here in verse 9 and 11? What are
the ways that "wickedness deceives those who are perishing"
and how long has this been going on or does this only begin
to happen at the coming of the lawless one? In what
way does "the lie" cause those who do not believe the truth
to "delight in wickedness"?

We need a firm foundation to
weather the storm of false ideas by Sandy Simpson,
4/15/14
Matthew 7:24 �Therefore everyone who hears these words of
Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built
his house on the rock." "How firm a foundation, ye saints of
the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!" ©
1787 Joseph Funk & Robert Keene. A house built on
the rock will stand. The Rock is God and in particular,
Jesus Christ. Therefore His written Word is the
teachings of the His Holy Spirit and a Rock we can depend
on. Anyone who wants to prove anything theologically,
historically, scientifically or anything else needs to start
with correct information. If you start with a faulty
foundation, as you build your arguments, they begin to fall
apart because they are not supported in God�s truth. If
you want to build on a firm foundation, you need to start the
process by a careful study of God�s Word in context of the
verse and according to the whole counsel of God�s Word.
The Bible is the best commentary on the Bible. There are many
false ideas floating around out there that have been there,
some from long ago. Those ideas were formed in lieu of
God�s Word, not from it. I am going to give some
examples of false ideas in history, science and theology and
show how they could have been avoided if the Bible had been
consulted. Yes, the Bible is accurate for more than just
theology. Keeping it in context we can accurately
understand history, science and a whole host of other
subjects.
Karma (by any other name) by
Sandy Simpson, 5/1/14
Given the definitions of �karma� above, this same idea,
usually without the reincarnation aspect in Christian circles,
has been taught for decades in New Thought movements such as
the Positive Thinking/Positive Confession teachings of Norman
Vincent Peale & Robert Schuller, the Word of Faith ideas
of Essex Kenyan, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland and Benny
Hinn, the mixture of Eastern Mysticism and Christianity by
Korean false teachers such as the �force of faith� Paul Yongii
Cho, and newer renditions and fusions by people like Joel
Osteen, Joseph Prince, T.D. Jakes (recently agreeing with
Oprah Winfrey who teaches karma on her WHO network), and
others such as Ernest Angley, John Bevere, Markus Bishop,
Juanita Bynum, Morris Cerullo, Kim Clement, Paul Crouch,
Creflo Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, Marilyn Hickey, Brian Houston,
Rodney Howard-Browne, Larry Huch, Bishop Eddie L. Long,

Those
Who
Do Not Lead Christians to Maturity by Sandy Simpson,
5/11/14
Eph. 4:12-14 to equip his people for works of service, so
that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach
unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and
become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the
fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed
back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every
wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people
in their deceitful scheming.
Heb. 5:13-14 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,
is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid
food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained
themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Samy Tanagho - Evangelism using
the wrong god by Sandy Simpson, 5/12/14
I need to provide some background to this article. I
first heard Samy at our Calvary Chapel church in Pearl
Harbor. I was shocked to hear how he is �evangelizing�
Muslims. I subsequently found out that his book was
endorsed twice by Chuck Smith and that he was stating,
although played down at that time of 11/07, that he prayed to
Allah. I then sent the following email exchange I had
with Samy to Chuck Smith and later someone handed a physical
copy of it to Bill Stonebraker of CC Komo Mai. Not only
did I not receive a response from Chuck Smith or anyone in his
office (too late now) I was also shocked to hear that Samy has
now been invited to speak at Calvary Chapel Komo Mai while
Stonebraker is in Israel conducting a tour. So all of
this fallen on deaf ears. After you read what Samy said
I think you will understand the seriousness of this issue,
especially since both Smith and Stonebraker have declared many
times that Allah is not God. Why then do they continue
to allow Samy access to their churches if they still believe
that Allah is not God?
Generic and Specific - Two
reasons why the Bible translation societies, putting the
names of supreme beings in Bible translations, is
unbiblical by Sandy Simpson, 5/18/2014
In my article �Blasphemizing
the
Bible� I give a number of examples of how a lot of
modern Bible translation societies are putting the names of
�supreme beings� in the Bible in the place of God or YHWH. In
this article I'm going to examine two of the excuses they make
for making those substitutions in the Bible in many hundreds
of different languages today. (1) They claim that God has many
different names and therefore they think they are justified in
putting the names of various gods of various cultures in
Bibles, as long as they are considered �supreme beings�.
(2) The second excuse they give is that the names of the
�gods� they are placing in the Bible are generic terms for
God, like the words �God�, �Theos�, �Dios� and �Elohim�.
By generic I mean a word that can be used for any deity
whether of the one true God or other false gods who claim to
be God.
Audio Added! Using
Illustrations from Culture To Help People Understand Jesus
Christ Can Be A Good Idea - Getting People to Worship False
Gods Is Not by Sandy Simpson, 5/29/14 - You can get
the audio version of this article here.
Cultural illustrations can be helpful but only if taught in
the light of the true accounts in the written Word.
Putting cultural accounts on the same par as Scripture by
using the mythology of pagan nations to replace what needs to
be taught about Jesus Christ and the True God degrades the
Bible accounts, in fact blasphemizes them. There is only
one Name under heaven by which men may be saved, and there is
only one Name of God, revealed by God Himself.
"...
and all liars"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Lying is a problem for all people (Ps.
116:11). We are all sinners (Rom. 3:23). Those
of us who are Christians are "sinners saved by grace" (Eph.
2:8) indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our "new self" (Col.
3:10). But we still live in our "old self" which we must
"put off" (Eph. 4:20-25) by taking up our cross daily and
following Christ (Luke 9:23). The difference between
unbelievers and those who are truly born again is that
believers no longer "practice sin" (1 John 3:9, see my Bible
study on 1 John!) They have the indwelling Holy Spirit
(Rom. 8:11) who convicts them when they lie (John 16:8).
True believers then repent (1 John 1:9) and go on to
"practice righteousness" (1 John 2:29) with the Lord's
help. The unregenerate, the false brothers, or those
who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4, Mark 4:17), practice
lying. They practice a lifestyle of lying because
their consciences are seared (1 Tim. 4:2) and the Holy
Spirit, when convicting them, cannot break through the
hardness of their unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb.
3:13).

language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Revelation
21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the
murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic
arts, the idolaters and all
liars, they will be consigned to the fiery lake of
burning sulfur. This is the second death.� Revelation
22:15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic
arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and
everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Those Who Do
Not Lead Christians to Maturity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The Scriptural definition of maturity is to
learn to discern truth from error so that the Christian will
no longer be double minded, blown about by every wind of
teaching and by the schemes of crafty people. But the
problem today is that so few Christian teachers are feeding
their flock's solid food. They are serving up milk
and, because of that, people are starving. Yet they often
don't even know they have been on a starvation diet.
Amos 8:11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign
Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land -
not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine
of hearing the words of the Lord."

Replacement
Theology On Steroids
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So, as you can see, the root of this
teaching is that Israel no longer holds the distinction of
being the tree from which the Root of David (Jesus-Rev.
5:5, 22:16) came. They are no longer the �natural
branches" (Israel-Rom. 11:21) on to which Gentile
Christianity (the wild shoots-Rom. 11:17 or wild
branches-Rom. 11:24) are grafted in (Rom. 11:17-24).
According to Replacement Theology, Christianity has now
become its own branch apart from Israel (the natural
branch) that produced the Root and all the promises of the
Bible to Israel have been taken away from them and given
to the Gentile Church. This is why you hear so many
false teachers taking verses out of context from the Old
Testament and willy-nilly applying them to the Gentile
Church. This methodology has been going on for
decades in liberal churches and has been popularized by
many false teachers on TV. But the fact is that
Replacement Theology is utter false doctrine. It
denies promises made to Israel, some of which have already
been fulfilled and some which are yet to come to fruition.
But when you add the fact that the Inclusivist WCGIP
proponents are now saying that God planted hundreds of
different trees, cultures all over the world, that are not
connected to the natural branch, tree and Root, you have
what can only be termed Replacement Theology on steroids!

�His
Name, the only Name� by Sandy Simpson, 9/5/14
Zechariah 14:9 "The LORD will be king over the whole earth.
On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only
name." What are the implications of this prophecy in
Zechariah? (1) That before the return of Christ there
have always been many �gods� worshipped in many names.
(2) That the saints who return with Christ (Zechariah 14:5),
those who were Raptured, are the ones who had already believed
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those remaining
are forced to acknowledge that there is �no other name under
heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved� because
they were left behind in the Rapture and survived the
Tribulation.
Victoria Osteen � the
�response� that shows she is a typical false teacher
by Sandy Simpson, 9/8/14
It never ceases to amaze me how people who claim to be
�Christian� leaders are apparently NEVER able to admit when
they are wrong. Makes you wonder if they are born again
because acceptance of the Gospel will cause a person to repent
of their sins which then gives them access to the forgiveness
of Christ when they sin from that point on (1 John 1:9).
But be that as it may, Victoria, the �co-pastor� and wife of
Joel Osteen, fires back at the article in the Christian Post
entitled: �Victoria
Osteen
Ripped for Telling Church 'Just Do Good For Your Own Self';
Worship Is Not for God, 'You're Doing it for Yourself'�
by claiming they lied about what she said. She claims in
her statement back to them in the article called �Victoria
Osteen
Chides Critics: I Didn't Mean Parishioners Shouldn't Worship
God � That's Ridiculous� that they claimed that she said
a person should not worship God.
Leviathan by Sandy Simpson,
9/22/14
This study is up for interpretation but I find descriptions
of leviathan in the Bible fascinating. This creature
that existed, and may yet exist, is used as a description of
the might and power of the enemy.
His
Name, The Only Name
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will be king
over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD,
and his name the only name.
The reason I wrote this article
based on Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of how many
so-called Christians, who are influential in the churches,
are promoting the worship of God in the names of other gods.

Karma (by any other
name)
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
According to Wikipedia:
"Karma means action, work or deed; it also
refers to the principle of causality where intent and
actions of an individual influence the future of that
individual. Good intent and good deed contribute to
good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad
deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering.
Karma is closely associated with the idea of rebirth in
some schools of Asian religions. In these schools,
karma in the present affects one's future in the current
life, as well as the nature and quality of future lives -
or, one's samsara. With origins in ancient India, it is a
key concept in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism,
Taoism, Shintoism, Ching Hai and others."(emphasis mine)
Mirram-Webster defines it this way:
the force created by a person's actions
that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism to determine
what that person's next life will be like: the force
created by a person's actions that some people believe
causes good or bad things to happen to that person
Given the definitions of "karma" above, this
same idea, usually without the reincarnation aspect in
Christian circles, has been taught for decades in New
Thought movements such as the Positive Thinking/Positive
Confession teachings of Norman Vincent Peale & Robert
Schuller, the Word of Faith ideas of Essex Kenyan, Kenneth
Hagin, Kenneth

Transported by
the Lion of Judah by Anne Elmer - Reviewed by Sandy
Simpson, 10/31/14
Sometimes I can�t hardly believe the advertising for books
like this one on ElijahList. It stated: This is one of
the most amazing AND TRUE stories I've ever read and it's by a
person I know well. My wife and I stayed in Anne Elmer and her
husband's home in France. When she shared her story, I KNEW it
had to be a book. Anne agreed and our readers have spoken by
purchasing so many copies of this amazing narrative about what
REALLY HAPPENED TO HER as THE LION FLEW HER THROUGHOUT THE
EARTH! (ElijahList newsletter, 10/30/14) This illustrates the
lack of integrity on the part of ElijahList in calling this
story a �true story�. Where is the proof, any proof that
this actually happened? This is another instance where
ElijahList freely promotes trips to heaven and hell as
factual, but now it has stepped this myth-telling even further
with a trip God took a woman on all over the world!

ElijahList is well known for sending out false prophecies on

emails daily. I have saved them all for many years
because they are ripe fodder for discernment articles. I
am going to use this obvious false prophecy by a long time
false prophet of the New Apostolic Reformation as a
demonstration of a false prophecy and how to test them
according to the Bible and common sense.

Disingenuous
Hermeneutics by Sandy Simpson, 2/23/15
I was reminded of a comment by Rev. Gary Gilley made on our
6-DVD series called �The New Apostolic Reformation � What is
it and where is it going?�. He was addressing proper
exegesis versus wrong ways to interpret the Bible. He
said that those who inject their own ideas and doctrinal
methodologies on the Bible, making it into their own image and
to their own liking, are using �Fairytale Hermeneutics�.
I always liked that definition and will now add one of my own
with regards to how people lie about what the Bible says when
it comes to their own preconceived notions, upholding mistaken
Biblical interpretations. When you find yourself having
to make up false definitions and other interpretations that
are not according to the clear teaching of Scripture, you end
up being a type of false teacher. I learned long ago
that if you want to teach the Bible correctly you let it
interpret itself. You teach what Jesus, the Apostles,
Prophets and Patriarchs did, with the help of the Holy Spirit
instead of trying to plug in manmade doctrinal systems on top
of Biblical truths.
How
To Discern, Test & Judge Rightly
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In running a web
site with thousands of articles, 1-2 million hits per
month from all over the world, and hundreds of e-mails per
week, I have come to realize, with time, that there is a
terrible problem in Christendom today. The problem stems
from an existential subjective view of the world that has
filtered into the church from secular society, but also
from the teachings of heretical wolves who have taught an
entire generation of churchgoers completely unbiblical
methods of discernment or to get rid of any discernment
altogether.

The
Attack Of The Enemy On Churches by Sandy Simpson,
3/10/15
So much heresy is entering the churches these days. As
you would suspect, sometimes it is due to a pastor attending a
conference or reading a book and becoming diapraxed with
unbiblical ideas. He then starts to weave those ideas
into his messages and begins to invite speakers to the church
who expound on those ideas. Then when confronted by
someone in the church who has reservations about the new stuff
being taught, they are told to not talk about it and just go
along with the program. If that person does not they are
ostracized, slander behind their back, and often told to leave
(which is what they should do in any case). But my
observation is that it is not only the pastor who causes
unbiblical changes to influence a church. Often the
pastor is blissfully unaware of influences coming into his
church. They often come in through (1) the worship team
(2) women�s groups (3) bookstore (4) children�s programs (5)
interdenominational prayer efforts and (6) relief and mission
organizations. If unchecked this type of infiltration is
much more subtle and can become deeply rooted.

NEW!
Testing The
Spirits
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Sometimes I really wonder why someone who
claims to be a Bible believing pastor, for instance, refuses
to listen to the truth. It frankly boggles my
mind. I don't know if it is as a result of the
postmodern paradigm or just that they have no love of the
truth left. I don't know how that can happen in a
truly regenerate person. You would think that the Holy
Spirit would confirm the truth to them, first in their
conscience, and finally through the written Word. But
these days it is a miracle if it gets that far. I
don't know if their conscience has been so seared that they
don't hear the Spirit or if they just don't want to know the
truth because then they would be responsible for it. I
know that I cannot know their motives or the reasons why
they reject truth and refuse to talk about false teaching,
but I do know one thing: we are called as true believers to
test the spirits. We must do this even if the result
is not to our liking or befuddles us as to the reasons.
1 John 4:1 Dear
friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
to see whether they are from God, because many false
prophets have gone out into the world.

God�s Attitude toward the
�Supreme Beings� of the Nations by Sandy Simpson,
5/20/15
It is quite clear from Scripture that YHWH does NOT consider
the �supreme beings� of the nations to be Himself, the One
True God. This is in opposition to the teachings of Don
Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss and many others
promoting the World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People
movement, Emergent Church and Liberal theologies. I have
proven this time and time again in my articles on the subject
but I am going to consolidate the information from the Bible
in this article by studying the false gods named in the
Bible. I am sure I will not be able to cover every
instance of supreme beings mentioned in the Bible but I (1)
want to deal with some of the major ones (2) show you where
they are found in the Word, and (3) prove that they were the
�supreme beings� of those nations named by the patriarchs,
prophets and Apostles and that they were not monotheistic gods
but polytheistic in the tradition of Babel where the false
religion of polytheism first took root through the worship of
Nimrod and Semiramis.
False
Teachers Revisited
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I often receive requests to present updated
false teachings and false prophecies by the myriad of
heretics out there. We do try to keep up with all the
latest. But I have to remind people that those we have
exposed as false on our site have not repented of what they
have already done in the past, which is why they are still
on our site. So what they are doing now has no
relevance as to whether or not they are now to be considered
a true Biblical teacher. If and when they repent, that
is renounce their false teachings and false prophecies, make
restitution to those they have deceived, and begin to teach
sound Biblical doctrine we will give you that
information. As of now NONE of the people we have
exposed have repented of their Latter Rain, Word of Faith
teachings, heretical practices or their false
prophecies. But in the interest of helping you to
respond to a person who inquires by saying: "Those articles
are old and you need newer materials" well, here is some
newer stuff you can add to the pile. For you and me
this really makes no difference, but for those who are
living in deception perhaps it might demolish one of their
arguments against the truth.

Audio Added! "...whether
things
on earth or things in heaven" by Sandy Simpson,
6/2/15 - You can get the audio version of this article here.
Col. 1:19-20 For God was pleased to have all his
fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself
all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by
making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. I ran
across this verse again the other day and it made me stop and
think. Why would Jesus Christ have to reconcile things in
heaven? I understand fully why He had to do that on earth
where sin took control, as well as the physical universe which
was also affected by sin, but in the third heaven? In
looking at the various commentaries on this subject it is
apparent that people have different ideas about what this
means.
Marks of False Religion
- A study of Colossians 2:8 in context with applications
for today by Sandy Simpson, 6/11/15
Christians, in order to remain faithful, need to take seriously
the repeated admonitions of the Apostles to stay true to Jesus
Christ, the Gospel and sound doctrine. This is the only
way to protect ourselves from the wolves who continue to invade
the churches. Matthew 7:15 "Watch out for false
prophets. They come to you in sheep�s clothing, but inwardly
they are ferocious wolves.
What
We Need Is A Reverse Paradigm Shift!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I'm going to warn you now. I am going
to let you in on some information tonight that is going to
radically change your world view. You are likely going
to experience the beginnings of a reverse paradigm shift and
after tonight there will be no way to go back the way you
came. You will be faced with choices that you may
never have known you had. You will be faced with a new
way of looking at things that is going to cause you to
rethink everything that is being taught in the Emerging
Latter Rain churches. It is going to be radical
because the basis for this message doesn't come from Jesus
Christ visiting my room last night bodily, but from His holy
written Word. So buckle down your seat belts, you're
likely in for a bumpy ride!
Matt. 7:15-23 "Watch
out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep�s
clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their
fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from
thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good
tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A
good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot
bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit
is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit
you will recognize them. "Not everyone who says to me,
�Lord, Lord,� will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only
he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many
will say to me on that day, �Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons
and perform many miracles?� Then I will tell them plainly,
�I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!�

You need to �nip it in

I am writing this article to address a subject that I have
often observed. It is the fact that if you do not get
the leaven out of your church the leaven will become the
leadership.
Attack Of The Enemy
On The Churches
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So much heresy is entering the churches these
days. As you would suspect, sometimes it is due to a
pastor attending a conference or reading a book and becoming
diapraxed with unbiblical ideas. He then starts to
weave those ideas into his messages and begins to invite
speakers to the church who expound on those ideas.
Then when confronted by someone in the church who has
reservations about the new stuff being taught, they are told
to not talk about it and just go along with the
program. If that person does not they are ostracized,
slander behind their back, and often told to leave (which is
what they should do in any case).
But my observation is that it is not only the
pastor who causes unbiblical changes to influence a
church. Often the pastor is blissfully unaware of
influences coming into his church. They often come in
through (1) the worship team (2) women�s groups (3)
bookstore (4) children�s programs (5) interdenominational
prayer efforts and (6) relief and mission
organizations. If unchecked this type of infiltration
is much more subtle and can become deeply rooted.

Marks Of False Religion
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes
you captive through philosophy and empty deception,
according to the tradition of men, according to the
elementary principles of the world, rather than according to
Christ.
In context Paul is especially addressing,
though perhaps not to the exclusion of other false religion,
what had become the false religion of the Pharisees and
Jewish leadership. There were many Jewish so-called
�Christians� making the rounds among the fledgling early
churches who were trying to get the Gentiles to come under
the Law from which Christ had purchased their freedom.
John Gill states this case well in his commentary.

Universalism in the World
has Permeated the Church
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The current fad of interfaith solidarity
and unity is simply a thin guise of inclusivism,
Universalism and pluralism.
Universalism is defined by Dictionary.com
as: The doctrine that emphasizes the universal fatherhood
of God and the final salvation of all souls. (Source)
Universalism is a religion and theology that generally
holds all persons and creatures are related to God or the
divine and will be reconciled to God. (Source)
Pluralism is defined as: The doctrine that
reality is composed of many ultimate substances. �
The belief that no single explanatory system or view of
reality can account for all the phenomena of life.
(American Heritage Dictionary, (Source)
Inclusivism is: "Inclusivism posits that
even though the work of Christ is the only means of
salvation, it does not follow that explicit knowledge of
Christ is necessary in order for one to be saved. In
contrast to pluralism, inclusivism agrees with exclusivism
in affirming the particularity of salvation in Jesus
Christ. But unlike exclusivism, inclusivism holds that an
implicit faith response to general revelation can be
salvific. God expects from man a response proportional to
the light given. Saving faith is not characterized so much
by its cognitive content as it is by its reverent
quality." (Ken Keathley, None Dare Call It Treason:
Is an Inclusivist a Paul Revere or a Benedict Arnold? (Ken
Keathley, Assistant Professor of Theology and Philosophy
New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, (Source)
We deal with these old heresies brought
forward to modernity, these ideas that all men have have a
relationship with God that will cause them to be able to
avoid judgement in our book on the teachings of the World
Gathering on Indigenous People movement called �Idolatry
In
Their Hearts�. The idea that all men who
worship a �god� are worshipping the true God, YHWH, has
bubbled up to the very top of our societies and religions,
and even Christendoom, and should sound a warning alarm to
true Biblical Christianity. Instead, as usual in our
day, most Christians are asleep at the wheel while
Universalists claim that you can pray to a �god� like
Allah and be praying to the true Trinue God, YHWH. I also
dealt with the fact that Allah is not YHWH, both in our
book and in the article �Is Allah
The Same As YHWH?�.

Luring
People To Destruction
By The Unscrupulous
Use Of The "Gospel" Message
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
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.

Audio Added! What
is your covering? by Sandy Simpson, 10/3/15 - You
can get the audio version of this article here.
The question every human being must ask themselves is this:
"What is my covering?" Is it fig leaves or animal skins?
I state this not literally but figuratively. Are you
depending on your good works or the blood of Jesus Christ to
save you? This is the ultimate question all the way from
the Garden of Eden. It is apparent that those who are
truly saved are "in Christ" (Rom. 6:7, 8:1), washed in the
Blood (1 Cor. 6:11, Rev. 7:14), crucified and buried with
Christ (Gal. 2:20, Rom. 6:4) and born again (John 3:3, 1 Pet.
1:23), anticipating eternal life (John 17:3, Rom. 6:23). But
there are also those who rely on their works (2 Tim. 1:9).
Every person will be judged according to their works (Eph.
2:8-9, Rev. 20:12), whether they were relying on them to be
saved or relying on the work of Christ on the cross for their
salvation. Even many people who call themselves
Christians will end up trying to rely on works instead of
grace.
What Should I Say?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
booklet.
How do you answer an invitation to attend a
meeting where you know nothing about the speaker or what
will be done there? What happens if they want to announce
the meeting at your church and invite everyone? What do you
say to a person who tells you that you don�t have the Holy
Spirit even though you are a Christian? What should you do
if you think something is wrong, or your conscience is
bothering you about something that was said or done?
The answer?
Go to the Scriptures!
The Bible has all the answers to your
questions. This little booklet is an attempt to deal with a
few of the typical statements you will hear from people who
have become involved in the Third Wave revival movement. By
�Third Wave� I am referring to teachers, �prophets� and any
meeting associated with the Toronto �Blessing�, Brownsville
Assemblies of God, Rodney Howard-Browne, Benny Hinn, Kenneth
Copeland, Rod Parsley, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyers, Bethel
Church, Lakeland and many others who appear on the Trinity
Broadcasting Network and the 700 Club on TV.
Hopefully the statements and answers in this
booklet will set you off on an investigation of your own in
the Word. If you need help, and you have access to the
Internet, you can visit my web site called �Deception In The
Church� that deals with these issues and has the articles
mentioned in this booklet.

The New
Panentheistic "God" Of Christendom
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Now, I bet you read the title of this article
and thought I had misspelled the word "pantheism".
Just so that those of you who write to me advising me of
words I have misspelled in articles (and I do often) I want
to tell you that I am using the term "panentheism" as coined
by Karl C. F. Krause. You can read more about this
word and concept in an excellent book called "A
Time Of Departing" by Ray Yungen.
There is a new "God" being promoted in the
Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and Word of
Faith movements whose teachers are regularly seen on TBN,
Daystar, SkyAngel, CBN and other "Christian" TV
networks. Some of those teachers even have, what would
be considered, a fairly typical statement of faith or
doctrinal statement they endorse. But by what they
teach they end up promoting a false unbiblical view of God,
especially through their actions and experiences. The
whole phenomenon of "slain in the spirit" and all the antics
that go with it are brainwashing an entire generation of
Christians to put their faith in another Jesus, another
Spirit, another Gospel. This new "Jesus" and "Holy
Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or panentheistic in
nature. Though some of these teachers would claim to
be believing in the God who is One God in Three Persons, by
what they teach they deny the very revealed character of God
from Scripture.

�Overtake you like a
thief� by Sandy Simpson, 11/13/15
1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness,
that the day would overtake you like a thief; How serious will
it be for a person to be overtaken in �that day� like a thief
overtakes a household when he slips in and steals? Will
it just be a surprise for those who claim to be Christians who
will get a slap on the wrist by the Lord but still proceed to
heaven? Will they simply lose rewards but still gain the
ultimate reward? What is this darkness that the brethren
are not in? 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5 While they are
saying, �Peace and safety!� then destruction will come upon
them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child,
and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not
in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for
you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not
of night or of darkness;
Prophets for profit by Sandy
Simpson, 12/21/15
2 Cor. 2:17 "Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God
for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God
with sincerity, as those sent from God." There are many false
teachers on TV these days who peddle the word of God for
profit. They make promises of healing that do not come
true by claiming if they are given a financial gift the person
will receive healing and riches. When what they promised
does not happen the person is blamed that they did not have
enough faith. This often destroys the faith of people who fall
into the traps of these snake oil salesmen. I have no
problem with people charging for their materials if they cost
to be produced, even though it is hoped that when a person
cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will receive them
free of charge. But the charges levied on people for
conferences and speaking engagements is often excessive.
A minister of God can ask for support and deserves it if they
are being diligent in their study and proclamation of the
Word. But experiences and feelings often come with a
price today and that is not right.

I am writing this article to address a

that if you do not get the leaven out of your church the

whole lump.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven
leavens the whole lump of dough.
We see this often in the case of
many �Christian� movements that have allowed a small error
to exist in their churches and have not dealt with those
issues. It then ends up metastasizing into worse and

"Practice What You Preach!" There is no doubt that God

healing, "name-it-and-claim-it", etc. have been proven to be
lies by the very people who sell this deceit. If you
don't know about where these famous "faith healers" go when
they need healing, you may be surprised. Why couldn't
they heal themselves when they purported to be able to heal
others by virtue of their superior faith? What
happened to the extraordinary faith they claimed to have,
enough faith to heal and be healed? Since they are the
ones who taught that all you have to do is claim the healing
that is in the Atonement (Is. 53:5) why did they not do
so? Don't their deaths prove that what they were
preaching was a lie and pragmatic witchcraft rather than
biblical relality?

FYI: Jenn Johnson of
Bethel Church talks about angels farting Commentary
by Sandy Simpson, 1/20/16
In a YouTube video
Jenn Johnson, daughter of Bill Johnson of Bethel Church in
Redding, CA, "Jenn shares about our need to define things as
"black" or "white", but there is a whole realm of "gray" that
needs to be dealt with. Black and white are exclusively
composed of shades of gray... and the only way the gray is
defined, is because of how the light is shone through the
color". As one example Jenn talks about angels having
farting contests around God's throne. The angels she is
seeing cannot be angels of God because they would not be
around the Throne in the third heaven if they were taking
pleasure in farting. What she is likely seeing is
demonic in nature and a delusion. This type of stuff is
par for the course at Bethel. I will be releasing a
review on their new "Holy Ghost Reborn" movie soon. Tim
Wirth and I have already done a video
review on the first Holy Ghost movie.
Holy Ghost Reborn (Movie)
a Darren Wilson Film - Reviewed by Sandy Simpson, Apologetics
Coordination Team, 1/31/16
I stated in the first part of this article this film is not
about preaching the Gospel but about using New Age techniques
to try to get people softened up to �the Lord�. But any
good done in this film has no eternal value unless followed up
with the Gospel message. Apart from many statements made
that are unbiblical, and in some cases, blasphemous, this film
is leading people into a different version of �Christianity�
what has nothing to do with the true Church.
The "Weight of Glory"
by Sandy Simpson, 3/3/16
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for
a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory; (KJV) This is both an incredible source of
hope for Christians who are downtrodden, and a source of
escalating heresy in many churches. It is critical that we
understand what Paul was talking about when he wrote the
phrase �weight of glory�. Jacob Prasch has repeated this
phrase in his teachings over the years � �A text, out of
context, in isolation from co-text is always a
pre-text." A huge problem today is that individuals and
movements tend to yank verses out of their context and build a
cult of heresy around them. This is called eisegesis or
plugging your own ideas into the Scriptures instead of
exegesis, gaining understanding and interpretation of the
Bible by studying it in context and in the scope of the whole
written Word.
The Ugly Side of
Diaprax
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
There has been a concerted effort by the
false teachers from many movements inside the church such as
Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)/Latter Rain,
World Gathering on Indigenous People and Emerging Church
among others to diaprax people into thinking that the church
has been ineffective until they came along with their new
and improved ideas on how to take over the world. This
is always a feature of the Hegelian Dialectical process put
into action by praxis, thus diaprax. In order to form
a new paradigm or worldview the leadership of these
movements must vilify orthodox Biblical Christianity.

Generic and
Specific
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In my article �Blasphemizing the Bible� (http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/blasphemizingthebible.html)
I give a number of examples of how a lot of modern Bible
translation societies are putting the names of �supreme
beings� in the Bible in the place of God or YHWH. In this
article I'm going to examine two of the excuses they make
for making those substitutions in the Bible in many hundreds
of different languages today.
(1) They claim that God has many different
names and therefore they think they are justified in putting
the names of various gods of various cultures in Bibles, as
long as they are considered �supreme beings�.
(2) The second excuse they give is that the
names of the �gods� they are placing in the Bible are
generic terms for God, like the words �God�, �Theos�, �Dios�
and �Elohim�. By generic I mean a word that can be used for
any deity whether of the one true God or other false gods
who claim to be God.
I will go through both of these excuses and
show that they are both unbiblical, therefore the Bibles
they have translated with names of other gods in them, or
names they claim are generic, prove that they have
�blasphemized� those Bibles.

Servant Authority
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The world system has always been a "top down"
structure, starting at the apex of the pyramid and going
down to the bottom. In kingdoms we have the king at the top,
then the princes, common people, slaves. In a democracy we
have the President at the top, the VP, the Sec. of State on
down to the citizens. In business we have the CEO at the
top, upper management, lower management, office workers and
the janitors. Unfortunately, sometime in the third
century, the church started to have a top down structure.
This is also when the church began to be in error. The
church of Rome began to have a "top down" structure that
started with the pope, then cardinals, then bishops, then
priests, then the people. Well, what about that? Eph
4:11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to
be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors
and teachers, This all sounds like a "top down"
structure. But the problem is that people have not seen an
important fact about these gifts of the Spirit -- man looks
at function and title, God looks at aim and goal! Read
on. Eph. 4:12 to prepare God's people for works
of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.
These are not gifts given for title or to give people job
descriptions. They are given because there are people out
there who need our help! The church needed the Apostles.
They were the ones who were the foundation of the church.
They were the ones who saw Jesus in the flesh and were
taught by Him personally. They wrote the New Testament
Scriptures. Though the gifts of apostle and prophet are
different today than in biblical times, the gift of
evangelism, pastoring, teaching and others are still the
same. A person who is an evangelist does not just have a
title so he can rule over people. The reason that he has the
gift to be an evangelist is so that he can tell others the
good news. Why do we have pastors? Are they supposed to rule
the church and get everyone to support them and bow to their
demands? No. They are to serve the church by helping people
to come to a fuller knowledge of Jesus Christ, to equip the
saints to become more like Jesus every day.
The true structure of Christianity is
symbolized as an inverted pyramid!

�Overtake you like a thief�
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brethren, are
not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a
thief; How serious will it be for a person to be overtaken
in �that day� like a thief overtakes a household when he
slips in and steals? Will it just be a surprise for
those who claim to be Christians who will get a slap on
the wrist by the Lord but still proceed to heaven?
Will they simply lose rewards but still gain the ultimate
reward? What is this darkness that the brethren are
not in? 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5 While they are
saying, �Peace and safety!� then destruction will come
upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman
with child, and they will not escape. But you,
brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake
you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and
sons of day. We are not of night or of
darkness;

Holy Ghost IGNORED!
by Sandy Simpson
This 3-DVD set is a message based on this
movie review.
�Holy Ghost Reborn� is the second film in
the �Holy Ghost� series released by Bethel Church in
Redding, CA. Tim Wirth and I reviewed the first
�Holy Ghost� film and that review is freely available on
YouTube here:

Simply Agape Project Production
I am sorry to say this but Bethel is
clearly a cult of Christianity holding to most of the
teachings of the Latter Rain and Word of Faith. They
have demonstrated repeatedly a manipulative atmosphere
targeting young people in particular while preaching rank
heresy. This new film is a continuation of those
false teachings and practices. I pray for the young
people in that church that they will come to know Jesus
Christ as their Savior and thus come to know the true Holy
Spirit.

"new" Christianity.
The Key to being able to teach both
Predestination and Free Will by Sandy Simpson,
5/14/16
When I was in college one of the favorite all night jam
sessions was the Predestination vs. Free Will debate. We
would stay up all night and never resolve the problem.
Though I was a Christian I was somewhat immature at the time
and had not learned the principle of not imposing manmade
constructs on the Scriptures (eisegesis) but rather letting
the Bible interpret itself (exegesis) since it consists of the
Word of God as breathed by the Holy Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16)
through the prophets, Apostles and of course, the Word
incarnate, Jesus Christ. There is a famous saying that
states: "A text, out of context, in isolation from co-text is
always a pre-text." It certainly was a �pretext� for our
lengthy useless arguments on this subject.
Study on Church
History compiled by Sandy Simpson, 5/18/16
I want to preface this study of church history by telling you
how I am going to do it. I am going to cover three
areas. First are the dates and brief descriptions of the
genesis of world religions not related to Christianity.
Second are the dates and brief descriptions of the beginnings
of movements that call themselves �Christian� but are really
false Christianity because they teach against one or more of
the core doctrines of the Church. Lastly I will deal
with the dates and descriptions of the True Church through
history to show that God has always had a faithful
remnant.

Christians who �turn
away� by Sandy Simpson, 6/22/16
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for all this her treacherous sister
Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but
feignedly, saith the LORD. And the LORD said unto me, �The
backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than
treacherous Judah.� (KJV) Israel had turned away from the Lord
and had gone after the gods of Canaan, namely Baal and
Asherah. Because Israel had prostituted herself with
false gods in worshipping the polytheistic gods that started
at Babel, God had declared He was divorcing Israel and would
send them into exile until they again returned to the true
God. But Judah prided itself in doing what God had commended
as they had Jerusalem and the Temple. They disdained
Israel for setting up altars to Baal and Asherah poles on high
hills. Yet God was not fooled by Judah�s pretence.
In the KJV it says they were not worshipping God with their
whole heart but �feignedly�.
NEW!
"Mistake" or "Sin"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Today we often hear the word "mistake"
coming from pulpits, and especially in defense of false
teaching and false prophesy. "Cut him some
slack! He just made some mistakes". "We all
make mistakes, so don't judge lest you be judged."
We even hear the word "mistakes" being substituted for the
word "sin" in many presentations of what I have termed
"Gospel Lite" today. So is it proper to substitute the
word "mistake" for the word "sin"? We'll look at the
problem of one word "mistakenly" being used for the
other.

What
if
we are proven wrong on this issue? by Sandy Simpson,
7/5/16
What issue am I talking about? Most Bible scholars today
teach that God does not create homosexuals, that there cannot be
a correlation between genetics and homosexuality and that it is
clearly only a choice of lifestyle. I have believed for many
years that they are only partly correct. Although it is
true that God did not create certain people to be homosexuals
and lesbians and that lifestyle is a choice, I also believe it
will be found after more testing that there IS a genetic
predisposition to homosexuality. What if homosexuality is
proven at a later time to have a foundation in the genetic
makeup of a person? Does that make God responsible to creating
homosexuality?
Prophets for profit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do not
peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in
Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent
from God.
There are many false teachers on TV these
days who peddle the word of God for profit. They make
promises of healing that do not come true by claiming if
they are given a financial gift the person will receive
healing and riches. When what they promised does not
happen the person is blamed that they did not have enough
faith. This often destroys the faith of people who fall into
the traps of these snake oil salesmen. I have no
problem with people charging for their materials if they
cost to be produced, even though it is hoped that when a
person cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will
receive them free of charge. But the charges levied on
people for conferences and speaking engagements is often
excessive. A minister of God can ask for support and
deserves it if they are being diligent in their study and
proclamation of the Word. But experiences and feelings
often come with a price today and that is not right.

Audio Added! Almost
Saved by Sandy Simpson, 11/29/16 - You can get the
audio version of this article here.
There are many so-called “Christians�? today who are clearly
“almost saved�? by their testimonies and/or actions. But
to be “almost saved�? is to be completely lost. A person
who is drowning and almost saved drowns. A woman who is
almost pregnant is not pregnant. King Agrippa said, “You
are almost persuading me to be a Christian (Acts 26:28)�? but
being almost persuaded is not enough to be saved.
The "Weight of
Glory"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but
for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory; (KJV)
This is both an incredible source of hope
for Christians who are downtrodden, and a source of
escalating heresy in many churches.It is critical that we
understand what Paul was talking about when he wrote the
phrase “weight of glory�?.Jacob Prasch has repeated this
phrase in his teachings over the years … “A text, out of
context, in isolation from co-text is always a pre-text."A
huge problem today is that individuals and movements tend
to yank verses out of their context and build a cult of
heresy around them.This is called eisegesis or plugging
your own ideas into the Scriptures instead of exegesis,
gaining understanding and interpretation of the Bible by
studying it in context and in the scope of the whole
written Word.

Did God Put
"Eternity In Their Hearts"
or "The World In
Their Hearts"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In the introduction to Mike Oppenheimer's
and my book "Idolatry In Thier Hearts" I exposed the fact
that Don Richardson pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier
Hearts" to use as his book title from it's context in Ecc.
3:11. He did this to support his thesis, which
actually contradicts the second part of that verse, where
it states that man cannot fathom what God has done.
Richardson, rather, sets forth what has become the
foundation for the false teachings of the WCGIP, YWAM, a
number of Bible translation societies and the Emerging
Church ... the propostion that men from Gentile cultures
have always been seeking God and that Gentile cultures
were already worshipping the true God before missionaries
came with the Gospel.
But as I further investigated this verse I
found that Richardson even ignored the true meaning of the
FIRST half of the verse in favor of a few translations
that use the phrase "eternity in their hearts".

The future of discernment and
apologetics ministries by Sandy Simpson,
12/3/16
I admit that I am very skeptical about the future of
discernment and apologetics ministries. I don't see the next
generation coming up to replace those who have stood for the
truth for so long. Fortunately many apologists have gone to be
with the Lord but who will replace them? I don't see
replacements coming up who will take the place of those who
have been fighting the fight the years.
