Franklin Graham: In His Father's Footsteps

"...have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:11

Franklin Graham is following closely in his famous father’s footsteps, although he is a little bit better at protecting his image. He says all the right things to keep the Evangelicals happy, yet there is a side of him that shows he's very similar to good ole' dad.

In this video, Franklin is being interviewed by Bill O'Reilly. He gives a great gospel presentation, although  O'Reilly makes the point that you must be born again.


(YouTube link)

Franklin goes from the frying pan into the fire. In this more recent interview by MSNBC (below), Franklin endorses two Roman Catholics: Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, calling them Christian (a false grace plus works system). 

Jesuit Knight of Malta (2004) Rick Santorum - who received endorsements from fellow globalist-minded Council of National Policy members when he ran for the Senate - is considered a Christian "by his fruit [works]" - says Franklin. You should know that:
"Franklin Graham told The Indianapolis Star that his father’s ecumenical alliance with the Catholic Church and all other denominations “was one of the smartest things his father ever did” (“Keeping it simple, safe keeps Graham on high” The Indianapolis Star, Thurs., June 3, 1999, p. H2).[1]
David Cloud, Way of Life, provides all the documentation of Franklin's ecumenical activity. He clearly has the same one single visible Church goals as his father, and the Catholic church.

This version of the interview is an analysis from the network's full version.

Franklin, who is highly respected by the sheeple and hated by the Illuminati-controlled media, clearly overlooks the bad fruit of these two "Catholic Christians." Santorum's secret society involvement and Gingrich's Third Way (plus a 33rd degree Mason) is conveniently overlooked and of no consequence.

"For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." Romans 16:18

Dr. Albert Mohler: Between Two Worlds

Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr., serves as president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary - the flagship school of the Southern Baptist Convention and one of the largest seminaries in the world.

 Click on the image. Note the esoteric downward-facing dove. The cross and sun symbol is similar to that of the CIA. Their seminary uses resources from a Jesuit school of theology. They may be headed into contemplative prayer, and their site search engine reflects it.
  • Dr. Mohler is a member of the Board of Directors of “Focus on the Family” [Right Wing] [1]
  • Member of the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood  [Reconstructionism/Theocracy][2]
  • He has been Chairman of the executive committee that bought the Billy Graham crusade to Louisville, KY. Graham is a Universalist and Freemason. His Lausanne ministry is part of the ecumenical Emergent church. [3]
 
 Graham was in Louisville in 2001.
  • He signed the Manhattan Declaration [ecumenical document] [4], but did not sign Evangelicals and Catholics Together document. He believes there are some fundamental doctrinal differences between the two, but we should stand together with them.[5]
  • Mohler is a Founding Fellow of Research Institute of The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.[6] This organization is in cooperation with the United Nations.
  • Dr. Mohler has been recognized by such influential publications as a leader among American Evangelicals by Emergent Church's publication Christianity Today.
  • He believes the Church should be seeker friendly and purpose driven, which is part of the Church Growth Movement. This goes hand-in-hand with a system of Christianity that is easily adaptable to The Third Way (Communitarianism/ Fascism) politics. 

Change agents working against Biblical Christianity.
  • Dr. Mohler serves as a council member for The Gospel Coalition, an ecumenical ministry that promotes church reform and culture transformation [theocracy].
  • He teaches from a Calvinist viewpoint. According to them, Jesus died for the Chosen only and not the entire world, as the Bible states in 1 John 2:2. This angle on scripture is perfect for those with an elitist mentality.
The lukewarm Church allows the ways of the world to seep into the beliefs and practices, only to dilute the truth. Where does this leave Dr. Mohler?

'Common Ground' Between Theosophists and Christians?


Origin of 'Common Ground'
Christian reunification has been the objective of church organizations, such as: the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches USA, along with several others. Ecumenical cooperation has been encouraged among Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholics. During one of these regularly scheduled ecumenical events, various denominations teach their respective traditions and, at the same time, seek for common ground between these traditions.[1]

One of the primary forces steering ecumenical unity is the Vatican. Great strides were made by Pope John Paul II, since he voiced hope that since the second 1000 years was the millennium of Christian disunity, the third 1000 years would bring unity with the Protestant church. [2] Of course he means being reunited, since this has been the goal since the Reformation. The only way that would happen would be for Protestants to forget about their differences, and compromise the Word of God. How would a move toward compromise be made?

The Pope with the head of the Anglican Church and the head of the Greek Orthodox Church. 80% of Christianity was represented at this event for Christian dialogue.

Georg Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework for social solidarity. Hegel (1770 – 1831) was an occultist, who laid the foundation for Communist brainwashing. Today, his transformational process is being used to change churches, as well as: politics, education, business, and communities.


This system aims to criticize all points of view and to synthesize them into one unified result. The dialectic method uses dialogue between two or more people or groups holding different points of view, then conditions them to accept the compromise. [3] Since the dialectic process has been used in the Church by the introduction of the social gospel, old fashioned Christian ways of separation are quickly being changed and replaced by modern ideas of erasing lines between denominations. All of this is being done to ease the Church back under the Pope, then the next step of creating one religion.

The process goes like this:
  1. Dialogue is started between the groups with opposing ideas.
  2. Seek "common ground" in the midst of religious diversity.
  3. Show respect, tolerance, and appreciation for all beliefs and values - unless they reflect Biblical truth.
  4. Train everyone to share their feelings, listen with an empathetically, then identify opposing views.
  5. Introduce a compromise, in a way that participants will accept the change.
 Pope John Paul II gathered with leaders of false religions for a day of reflection,  
dialogue and prayer for peace and justice.

'Common Ground' with Theosophists
Willis Harman, is a Luciferian Theosophist, served as president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and is considered a metaphysical futurist. He taught during a conference heavily attended by leading Evangelicals for the purpose of finding "common ground" with Theosophists. These Consultations were attended by mainstream evangelical leaders, and they were sponsored by the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College. The second conference in 1979 titled, "Continuing Consultation on Future Evangelical Concerns" was summarized in a book An Evangelical Agenda: 1984 and Beyond.

According to the Chairman of the conference, Hudson T. Armerding, the President of Wheaton College, "We learn that the purpose of the conference was to “enlarge the vision of God’s people and enable them to have a still more effective stewardship of time and opportunity in these critical days.” Upon analysis, the conference transcripts suggest that they valued "common ground".

This Consultation represents one of the first publicly-disclosed occasions where Evangelicals and New Agers met together to address common ground. Is it possible that this event marked the beginning of the public phase of the integration of Theosophy with Christianity? Perhaps so, when you consider the proposals made by Willis Harman were to integrate the psychic into Christianity to create a new synthesized "truth."
 
 An ancient religious symbol used by the Nazi Party, a fertility ankh, and 6-pointed star make up the Theosophical Society logo.

Willis Harman's presentation to the evangelical leaders called for a “new” science, which he had termed “noetic” science, a Gnostic science, based on his research into the paranormal and the human brain. He listed such things as hypnosis, remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis and psychic phenomena. He called for more scientific research into the “the world of inner experience,” meaning psychic phenomena. All this could create a future utopia.[4]
In the years to come, many of the evangelical leaders who attended these Consultations would go on to work on inventing new theologies. They initiated projects that would re-shape Christian theology into these futuristic and esoteric images of man and his destiny.[5]

These leaders attended one or more of the conferences and were well-known at the time. Many are still alive and active in Evangelical Church. It makes you wonder if they were uncomfortable participating in this event that is diametrically opposed to Christianity.
The Big: Why?
It is important to Theosophy, and these counterfeit Christians, that true believers accept their Cosmic/Masonic (New Age) Christ. It will help to create the paradigm shift they so fondly speak of. Certain Christian colleges have been created with the express purpose of promoting mysticism and accept New Age ideas. These same schools are accepting the newer versions of the Bible where New Age language is introduced. Theosophy and Christianity are slowly being drawn together and we can thank the Christian Masons for this - which is what Billy Graham has publicly displayed, but publicly denied.

Devil's Claw Masonic pose

How many believers will take the bait?

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
2 Cor. 11:13-15

“But there were false apostles also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you; whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3

The Apostles Creed: An Ecumenical Fish Hook

John H. Armstrong, founder of the leadership ministry called ACT 3, discusses the "Apostles Creed" and the line that reads, "I believe in One Holy catholic Church."


(YouTube link)

The Creed of the Apostles is one of the oldest catechisms of the Roman Catholic church. It was written to  Pope Siricius in about AD390. It remains common to churches of both East and West to this day. Many believe the Creed of the Apostles should always kept and preserved undefiled, [1] but most Evangelicals have dismissed its value, although the Emergent church is attempting to pump life into it.

There are deficiencies in the creed in that central doctrines are not expressed, and inerrancy and authority of scripture is never mentioned.[2] Each line is a pledge to what a Catholic believes, but many Protestant/Evangelical Christians have problems with the line "I believe in One Holy catholic Church." I was once assured that the word catholic, since it is in a lower case c, actually means universal. But even with this change in meaning, you have to wonder if the common confession will be used as a creed by the papacy to draw together the one universal religion.

Paul says Christians are to be unified in spirit, not in organization; and unified by the Words of our great God. But if the words of a creed join together believer and unbeliever, all it has done is accomplish the purpose of the enemy, who sows tares among wheat.

Wheaton College Welcomes Secret Society Archbishop of Chicago


Cardinal Francis George is the spiritual leader of 2.3 million Chicago-area Catholics, and he's up to his elbows in ecumenical activity. On March 26, 2012, Reformed pastor John Armstrong and Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal George will come together at Wheaton College for “A Conversation on Unity in Christ’s Mission.” One of their shared interests has been a greater conversation between the Evangelical community and the Catholic Church.


Just as with every ecumenical event, the Jesuits are always standing in the wings, and this event isn't any different. This is because the Cardinal  is a member of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and the Grand Prior of the North Central Lieutenancy of the United States for the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. He is also a member of the American Catholic Philosophical Association - an organization that has an interest in the metaphysics of mysticism and the phenomena of occultism.[1]

Who is Dr. John H. Armstrong?
Dr. Armstrong is founder and president of ACT 3, a ministry for equipping leaders for unity in Christ's mission. He is former pastor and church-planter, and he also has a writing ministry. Dr. Armstrong is an adjunct professor of evangelism at Wheaton College Graduate School, teaches in various seminaries and colleges as a guest lecturer, and is a seminar and conference speaker throughout the United States and abroad. He is noted for building bridges between the Roman Catholic and Evangelical Church for the purpose of missions and ecumenical unity.

Note the four triquetra within a Maltese cross. Freemasonry espouses universalism, embraces religious pluralism, and has effectively created a unique syncretistic religion.

The Church with a Mission
We would be deceived if we believed that coming together for missions was the only thing the Catholic church had in mind. There are many things wrong with this ecumenical plan for unity, and the two leaders who plan to speak at this conference.
  1. The Knights of Malta, controlled by Jesuits and the organizations Cardinal George belongs to, are responsible for helping thousands of the worst Nazis and members of the SS escape to freedom down these Ratlines, thus evading justice and avoiding the hangman’s noose at Nuremberg. They also seek to create a counter-Reformation and bring Christ's Church under a pagan Baal-worshiping Pope. Jesuits believe the Pope is Christ on Earth, and that he is infallible in matters of religion - which is blasphemy.
  2. One of the aspects of the Emergent church teachings, which is conveyed through Dr. Armstrong's writing, is that of Missional living. Missional living is a term that describes a missionary lifestyle; adopting the thinking, behaviors, and practices of a missionary in order to engage others with the Gospel message. Based on a Wikipedia author, the five distinctives that form the foundation of the missional perspective are:
  • The Church is sent by Jesus Christ  
  • The Church is sent with the Cross
  • The Church is sent in Community
  • The Church is sent to every Culture 
  • The Church is sent for the King and His Kingdom
These points are all essentially true, but the United Nations and the apostate church are accomplishing this plan with the help of the Church, which makes it an act of World Socialism, aka world government. It will deliver a Christ-less form of Christianity.
    The artwork that coincides with the plan looks like this:

    A Missional Perspective.JPG

    Do you see any similarity with the symbol used on the cover of Dr. Armstrong's The Unity Factor, the New Age symbol on the cover on Marilyn Ferguson's The Aquarian Conspiracy, and the triquetra of the "Third Way", also known as Fascism? Note that the center of the triquetra is used for the Illuminati triangle. This should be a clear indication that the modern way of missional living is a counterfeit to Biblical Christianity's missions work.

    Let's look at this symbol again. The three intertwining circles also have the numbers 6-6-6 within them.

      3. Wheaton College is a breeding ground for future Emergent church leaders. Wheaton gave us Rob Bell, Billy Graham, Josh McDowell, John Piper, as well as some other controversial ecumenical Christians. They have endorsed Freemason Billy Graham's Emergent Lausanne Movement, and are involved with the practice of mystical Contemplative prayer. The conference is based in one of the most socialist cities in the country, which is why they can find "common ground" and cooperation with the Roman Catholic church.
    Conclusion
    This type of information is always disturbing. We are watching the Church go down the tubes.

    The Bible says, "...while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also" (Matthew 13:25).


    Many believers are beginning to wake up to find the Church has been infiltrated by Jesuits, and those who have been intentionally tearing the Church apart. They call it unity, but it's actually intended to have the opposite effect. 

    To those of us who are awake, the Lord says in verses 16, 17: "But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them." This indicates that not everyone will be capable of having the spiritual sight as others do. Since they don't, you'll feel a little crazy for being able to see what others can't.

    It is clear that these tares are the greatest work of Satan. Surprisingly, Jesus tells us not to worry about them. He said, "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 'Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

    But does this mean that we should never say anything about the apostasy, or were these verses intended for  those close to the time of the harvest? Remember that Romans 16:17-18 says, to   "... mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." 

    I want to suggest that we speak while we still have the freedom to do so, and since the Bible instructs to mark them and avoid them. We certainly aren't supposed to picket their churches, rather make others aware of what is going on in a respectable manner. The worse they are, the more we will need to watch them. Their words seem to reflect holiness and love for God, and they show kindness and love to those they instill their corrupt doctrines, while accosting them courteously when they intend them the greatest mischief. When you see this, you'll understand that the master they serve is not our Lord Jesus Christ.

    The Importance of Transcendental Meditation in the Emergent Church

    "The goal of the New Age Movement has consistently been to bring in the Age of Aquarius when all will recognize 'the God within themselves.' A major step towards this, in the words of the New Age prophetess Alice Bailey, is 'the regeneration of the churches.' Her vision was that, 'The Christian church, in its many branches, can serve as a St. John the Baptist, as a voice crying in the wilderness, and as a nucleus through which world illumination may be accomplished.' In a word, she desired the time when the 'Christian churches' would embrace the New Age concepts of illumination and self-realization." — Richard Bennett, Can Mysticism Lead to God

    Alice Bailey (1880-1949) was an apostle of New Age occultism, and her writings were considered to some to be mystical revelations. She deliberately told the world the path it will be taking, and how it is going to be done--in essence, she provided a combined manifesto and blueprint. The fact that much of what she predicted has actually happened, gives even greater credence that her work really could be the design for the one Paul called "the son of perdition."[1] 

    Bailey's writings were influenced by the works of Madame Blavatsky. Bailey taught, as did Blavatsky, a form of universal spirituality; the type that transcended denominational identification, believing that, "Every class of human beings is a group of brothers. Catholics, Jews, Gentiles, occidentals and orientals are all the sons of God." She stated that all religions originate from the same spiritual source, and that humanity will eventually come to realize this; and as they do so, the result will be the emergence of a universal world religion and a "new world order." 

    The late Marilyn Ferguson helped to further the efforts of New Age occultism. Ferguson also deliberately told the world the path it will be taking, and how the New Age Movement would conquer the world. As you read her book, you will see how she unashamedly opens the plan on how to create a world revolution in a matter of fact manner. She believed her plan would be a bloodless one, because of disenchantment with the current culture. Using the 60s as an example, she said that it was ripe for social turbulence, because of impotence of government, schools, medicine, church, business. She believed this same discontent will become ripe again, and the world will be willing to accept the philosophies of the New Age Movement. 

    The way her book was written, it appears that this discontent was intentionally engineered. Especially when you consider the new truth movement, and hidden political, financial, education, health and business corruption that has been coming to the surface over the past few years. As for a bloodless revolution, other New Age writing indicates otherwise.

    As we continue... in Marilyn's book Aquarian Conspiracy, from the chapter titled The American Matrix for Transformation, Ferguson explains how transcendentalism was a logical extension of the American Revolution - because it led to spiritual liberation, a freedom guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. It was because of this freedom that cults rose up during the 1800s, and were able to strengthen and find disciples. 

    Transcendentalism is a group of ideas in literature and philosophy that developed in the 1830s and 1840s as a protest against the general state of culture and society, and the state of intellectualism. Among the transcendentalists' core beliefs are in an ideal spirituality that "transcends" the physical and empirical and is realized only through the individual's intuition, rather than through the doctrines of established religions.

    Most of the cults during this era were part of the Transcendental Movement, such as: Christian Science, Swedenborgian Church, New Thought, and Swedenborg, just to mention a few.


    These cults borrowed from the Eastern religions, and adapted the material to suit the Western mind, which were materialistic, and worldly-centered. So, transcendental meditation was presented, not as a religious exercise involving initiation into Hinduism, but as an exercise for relaxation. Yoga traveled a similar path. It was presented as a merely physical exercises to relax the body, and enhance health. Because of the western presentation of these eastern spiritual exercises, vast numbers of Christians have involved themselves in them, some claiming to have 'christianized' them.[2]

    Thus, many involved in the Transcendental Movement are also involved in Transcendental Meditation (TM). TM helps the practitioner to enter altered states of consciousness, which leads to a "higher" self, often called the "divine-within." In this altered state of consciousness, "all is One" -- only one essence in the universe, everyone and everything being a part of that essence.[3] The TM practitioner can meet angels or demonic (lying) spirits in this state when they have revelations in the spirit. It is my belief that since this is the overwhelming message communicated to all those who participate in TM, the experience will lead to the acceptance of the one world religion and world government. This can be communicated subconsciously by spirits, or by spiritual blindness caused by TM.

    This desire by Rick Warren and the Emergent churches to teach TM opens the door to these spirits and the teachings of the New Age Movement. They are intentionally preparing their churches to accept the one world religion and the world government. This confirms Alice Bailey's statement concerning the use of the Church to be a vehicle to bring in its evil agenda.

    The Third Way Politics and the Third Way Heresy

    Several months ago, I posted an article by Brannon Howse titled "Newt Gingrich and the Third Way." The article stated that he believed the politics of the Third Way was connected with the New Apostolic Reformation. Although this may be true politically, there is more behind it than it appears.

    To backtrack, globalists like Tony Blair, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Newt Gingrich promote “Third Way” thinking, which combines Socialism with Capitalism to create a so-called third political alternative. Also included in the article is proof that Newt is an environmentalist, and that he is friends with Alvin Toffler, author of  “Third Wave” also known as “Third Way.” Since the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) crowd has shown support of Newt, and now more recently Sarah Palin and Rick Perry, Brannon believes these charismatics to be the Third Way religion. With evidence that I found in Marilyn Ferguson's "The Aquarian Conspiracy," the Third Way religion is a group other than the NAR crowd, and is actually the Emergent Church. 


    In chapter 1 of her book, which is considered a classic of New Age literature, she uses the words "emergent" "emerging" and "emergence" repeatedly. She also used the phrase the Third Way. Along with the following evidence, I believe the Emergent Church spirituality is the the Third Way religion.

    A while ago, Rick Warren, who we long have established as being overly supportive of globalist goals, showed his support of and praised the Emergent church. Although the Emergent church does not have clear-cut beliefs, Rob Bell disclosed in his recent book that he is a Universalist - which would lead one to believe that this is one of their beliefs. Universalism is the wave of the future. I base this conclusion on from the work the Vatican has been doing with the ecumenical work - joining all the religions of the world into one. So, this makes the perfect progression from Christianity to heresy:

     Christian Church to Emergent Church to Ecumenism to Universalism to Bahá'í Faith 

    Wikipedia says that the Emergent Church got their name from JoHann Baptist Metz, a Catholic theologian interested in the Frankfort School writings. One of his works was titled "The Emergent Church." He was a German Catholic; a faith that combined the mystical and political.[1] I have never done any research on Emergent's Brian McClaren, but I suspect he has a connection with the New Age movement and the writings of the Johann Metz.


    As a comparison, the foundational teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation (and the Word of Faith) are essentially Christian, except for some of their teaching on the metaphysical aspects of the Holy Spirit. Contrasting NAR with the Universalist beliefs of the Emergent church, it is more blatantly in error.

    Another point - the Emergent church uses the words "Global village" in many of their writings. You will find that John Naisbitt, a New Age futurist who wrote the Forward in Marilyn Ferguson's book, has an article where he uses the words "Global village" in his writing.

    It is interesting to note that one of the aspects of the Emergent church teachings is that of Missional living. Missional living is a term that describes a missionary lifestyle; adopting the thinking, behaviors, and practices of a missionary in order to engage others with the gospel message. Based on a Wikipedia author,
    the five distinctives that form the foundation of the missional perspective are:
    1. The Church is sent by Jesus Christ
    2. The Church is sent with the Cross
    3. The Church is sent in Community
    4. The Church is sent to every Culture
    5. The Church is sent for the King and His Kingdom 
    These are all essentially true, but the government is accomplishing this act with the help of the Church, which makes it an act of World Socialism. 

    The artwork used in the write up is found below:
    A Missional Perspective.JPG

    Do you see any similarity with that of the symbol used on Marilyn Ferguson's book at the top of this article? Also note that it is the shape of the Illuminati triangle. This modern way of missional living is a counterfeit to genuine Christianity's missions work. Let's look at this symbol more closely. The three intertwining circles also have the numbers 6-6-6 within them.


    Where else have we seen this? Bill Schnoebelen states in his book "Blood on the Doorposts":
    "A disguised interlocked trio of sixes, symbolic of the anti-christ. Also symbolizes the triple goddess of Wicca. Commonly used in Catholic liturgical iconography, and has recently found its way into the logo of the New King James Bible."
    (And I liked the NKJV!)

    Lastly, ConspiracyArchive has this to say about the new model for global totalitarianism and the Third Way symbol.
    With the creation of the United Nations, free-trade zones, public-private partnerships, communitarianism, some 30,000+ NGOs [non-government organizations] and 37,000+ Multinational Corporations and Foundations, we now see a devolution of the government. Globalization has effectively achieved a global corporate fascism. To better illustrate the scope of it all, I've reproduced a compilation of charts from The United Nations' Global Straightjacket:
    Reinvented Government = Communitarianism = The Third Way = Reinvented Communitarianism

    Global Corporate Fascism
    “In time, those industrialists who empowered the NGOs will 'rule the world' through 'reinvented government.'”  - Joan Veon, The United Nations' Global Straightjacket p.87
    So it goes to show, nothing is what it appears. It pays to take a look at the history of every movement, because it may have a root of evil.

    Emerging Church & Presbyterians Align with CHRISLAM Religion

    by Rev. Austin Miles


    The off-base Emerging Church is encouraging pastors to embrace an ecumenical concept of combining Christianity and Islam, actually partnering with Islam, to launch a new religion called…Chrislam—which would combine the two. So far, they have managed to gather 130 Christian leaders who collectively state that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. No they do not!  Allah was the Arabic name for a higher power, or a god. Mohammed ‘s god was Allilah, the moon god which conveniently became the generic name for a god, Allah. This is why a crescent moon and star is on the flag of Islam and mosques. Let this be clear.

    In a disturbing account of this new movement, Debra Rae in her column released today (1/22/11) on News With Views, titled “The Lost Art Of Critical Thinking,” writes; “Recently, the Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church, Houston, joined Christian communities in Atlanta, Seattle, and Detroit to encourage “ecumenical reconciliation” between Christianity and Islam. Theirs was a celebration of a sort of worldview potpourri mixing together elements of Christianity and Islam. Predictably called Chrislam, this brand of ecumenicalism qualifies both the Bible and the Qur’an as holy texts.” Hence, in a show of equal authenticity, Qur’ans were positioned in pews next to Bibles.”(Read more)

    Rob Bell: One of the Times "Top 100" for 2011


    Time Magazine released its list of Top 100 Influential People in the World. On the list are political leaders, technology geeks, artists, innovators, and the sort of folks you’d expect. This year Rob Bell made the list, shortly after the release of his best-selling book "Love Wins."

    Bell, 40, is the founder of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Mich., which is part of the Emergent Church movement. Rob Bell, who wishes to deny the final authority of the Bible, is becoming very popular in this postmodern world. He teaches postmodern neo-liberalism, which is a departure from traditional Christianity. Having the world identify him as being influential, is only more proof of how the Evangelical Church is broken.

    The Emerging Deception

     "If they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no truth in them."  Isaiah 8:20

    There is danger afoot in the Evangelical church, and it is happening right under our noses. The Emergent/Emerging Church movement is heading towards a collision with the New Age movement. False doctrines, a different gospel and even doctrines of demons have been introduced into many churches through books, music, videos, teachers and movements, that all claim to be of God. Some say the "Emergent Church" is the next step beyond the "seeker movement." Leaders of the movement say they have answers for our generation, even though it focuses on experience much more than the Bible. But leaders of the movement insist that in our fast-changing culture, something is happening. What was once a Christian nation with a Judeo-Christian worldview is becoming a post-Christian, un-churched, un-reached nation.

    Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries said in an article, “Defining the Emerging Church (EC) is a little bit like nailing Jell-O to the wall.” And she was right about that. The more websites I have looked at on the movement, the more confused I got about their beliefs. Jan says, “It relies heavily on mysticism, which is a great danger to believers of all denominations. Some leaders will tell you that you cannot know truth. An EC service will often meet in homes and will rely on extra-biblical paraphernalia, extra-sensory images, sounds, smells of candles and incense, silence, mystical meditation, making the sign of the cross, touching icons, statues of saints, rosary beads for Protestants, liturgy, yoga-like deep breathing, contemplative prayer and sacraments--all for a full sensory immersion with the divine. In other words, they are looking for an encounter with the Lord using all their senses. Worship is stressed, but some would say more than the Word.”[1]
     

    The most visible leader is Brian McLaren. He has been recognized as one of Time magazine's "25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America." McLaren calls the movement a “post-protestant, pro-catholic, contemplative-mystical form of Christianity.” His book, "A Generous Orthodox," states, "The Christian faith should become a welcome friend to other religions of the world, and not a threat.” That sounds cozy, until he was a speaker at the Kentucky Baptist Convention when leaders learned McLaren suggested that people could be saved without being Christians.
     

    Well, that’s not the only dirty little secret. According to Linda Harvey, a speaker and the owner of the website missionamerica.com, McLaren has a bag full of goodies he’s not telling his followers. He and his supporters also believe that heaven and hell aren't real places, sin is disharmony with others and with creation, there is no absolute truth, and they reject the wrath of God in the end time eschatology. They also believe that the Bible is not divine - rather manmade, and there is no final return of Jesus Christ.
     

    Who are these followers of the Emerging/Emergent Church? 
    They can be identified as the evangelical left, who are against the evangelical right, and they endorse abortion and homosexuality.
     

    Supporters of the Emerging/Emergent Church include Robert Schuller, Richard Foster, Brennan Manning, Dan Kimball, Dallas Willard, Bruce Wilkinson, Rob Bell, Eugene Peterson, John Ortberg, John EldredgeTony Campolo, and dozens of lesser-known people. Others such as Rick Warren and Bill Hybels give credibility to the EC movement, although their churches cannot be classified as “Emergent.”

    Rick Warren and others say that we need to pay attention to the Emergent Church.  Things are changing, they say, and the Emergent Church has the answers for our generation.  But what will the Emergent Church emerge into?
     

    It should be apparent by now that the Emergent Church is more experience-based, rather than Bible-based.  Further, the Word of God takes a secondary position to the worship of God.
     

    While promoters of the church may be sincere in their efforts to evangelize the postmodern generation and believe they are genuinely representing the Scriptures, there are some real concerns that need to be addressed.  Deviating from the Word of God for extra-biblical experience can open the door to deception.  While worshiping God is a very important part of the Christian faith, there are problems that can occur if worship supersedes the Word.

    Supporters of the Emergent Church write and speak passionately about evangelism.  They are committed to reaching the postmodern generation.  They say their goal is to communicate the truths of Christianity in a way that can be understood by this generation.  They are willing to adapt or change whatever needs to be changed in order to be relevant evangelists.
     

    While purpose-driven evangelists removed crosses and other Christian symbols from Church services to be seeker friendly, the post modern generation is attracted to crosses, candles, stained glass, liturgy and sacraments. Does this sound familiar? Their goal is to re-introduce an "Ancient-Future" faith, based on the ideas, dogmas, traditions and views of the Roman Catholic Church fathers. Many of their ideas come from Ignatius Loyola, a founder of the Jesuit order. Tony Campolo practices many of Loyola’s mystical practices that he developed to get closer to God. The mystical New Age practices he promotes are more closely tied to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Catholicism, than to biblical Christianity.

    The Bible makes it clear the only way to be born again is to repent of your sins and acknowledge Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The doctrines of demons that Paul warned Timothy would be promoted in the name of Christianity in the last days are underway.

    How can you recognize if this purpose-driven emergent global utopia?
         Here are some of the characteristics:

    1. Sound biblical doctrine is considered as dangerous and divisive, and the experiential (i.e., mystical) is given a greater role than doctrine.
    2. Bible prophecy is no longer taught and is considered a waste of time.
    3. Israel becomes less and less important and has no biblical significance.
    4. Eventually the promises for Israel are applied to the Church and not Israel (Replacement Theology).  
    5. Bible study is replaced by studying someone’s book and his methods.
    6. Church health is evaluated on the quantity of people who attend.
    7. The truth of God’s Word becomes less and less important.
    8.  God’s Word, especially concepts like hell, sin and repentance, is eventually downplayed so the unbeliever is not offended. 

    The Emergent Church supporters tell us that we are out-of-touch with the times, the culture and the consciousness of change. All these sentiments are echoed by Mystic Universalist Matthew Fox who has said, "Christianity has been out-of-touch with its "core," its center, its sense of mystical practice and cosmic awareness."
     

    Rick Warren participated in a National Pastors Conference where yoga, labyrinths, and contemplative prayer were promoted.  These are the same practices found in the Emergent Church. Their focus is marginalizing those who hold fundamental or traditional religious beliefs for the greater good of the faith community, and to break down theological boundaries to build community and harmony with all groups of people.

    Conclusion 

    While Brian McLaren and Rick Warren may be excited about the Emergent Church and the direction it is presently headed, the goal of the movement is to unify the Christian Church - into one single church. But this is only the first step to their agenda. Their unification plans sinks its roots of involvement with the interfaith movement being headed by former Prime Minister Tony Blair.             
     

    The Church is presently going through a transition, which will eventually result in a single government-approved church. It will cut across denominational and world religion boundaries. What we are presently seeing in the Emergent Church is a precursor for the one-world religion.

    You may ask, how can the Church go along with this when so many know we’re living in the last days? They are taking the interfaith movement by hook, line, and sinker! Some of the top Christian universities and Christian publications are endorsing the interfaith movement and giving credence to what McLaren and Warren say. I believe it is, because they don’t believe we’re living in the last days, and naively make no connection with the one-world religion.

    Please be cautious if you are a part of a church that is teaching the Emergent Church or the Purpose Driven Church ideas. If you aren't certain, stop by your church library. If you are, then do your own study on the subject, and decide then if it’s worth the risk of staying. Maranatha

    Update
    One of the popular pastors of an Emergent church movement has gained much popularity over the past couple of weeks. There has been some controversy over Rob Bell's recent book, Love Wins. It hit the book store shelves and bloggers haven't been able to stop talking about him. His critics call him an Universalist, which he denies. 

    As you listen to these recent clips, you will find that he clearly is. You will also gain some perspective on why young people are so attracted to a church like this, even though it teaches false doctrine.

    2011 SBC Pastors’ Conference Features Rick Warren


    The June 12-13 conference in Phoenix, Ariz., will be held under the theme, "Aspire: Yearning to join God's Kingdom Activity," taken from Romans 15:20. The 2011 SBC Pastors' Conference is held prior to the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting, and features renowned speakers including John Piper, senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, and Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif.

    Those who are less known, but many have problems with are Darrin Patrick. He is Vice President for Acts 29 Church Planting Network, and he is scheduled to speak.  Acts 29 is the network run by Mark Driscoll, the controversial pastor in Seattle, WA, who is associated with the Emerging Church movement. He is no longer associated with the liberal branch of the Emerging Church, which is the branch of the movement that Brian McLaren is involved with, but Driscoll still believes the gifts are for today.

    Second, is Jamar Jones, who serves as the Executive Director of Music and Fine Arts at the Potter’s House Church, Dallas Texas. Those familiar with T.D. Jakes and his non-trinitarian understanding of Holy Deity should immediately understand the problem.  Theological modalism is hardly a belief which may be called orthodox, much less within the sphere of Southern Baptists' confession of faith. [1]

    I know that many of you have been holding on by your fingernails and continuing to attend the Southern Baptist Churches. I believe there will come a day that you will no longer put up with the compromise of the SBC.
