THE ANOINTING It would be difficult to find a charismatic/evangelical service/program/tract/book that is not liberally sprinkled with the word 'Anointed, which has become arguably the most overused, overworked, misunderstood, misinterpreted term in the Pentecostal and Charismatic arenas. There is a international anthem among an elite class of Charismatic celebrities today. It’s a stern warning repeatedly directed at their critics with a residual effect upon their devotees. It’s the frequent and methodical strategy that they recite against anyone who opposes their unscriptural doctrine and practice. It’s a charge of “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit” and “touch not the Lord’s anointed.” What does the Bible mean when it says not to touch God’s anointed? [Section]
FALSE PROPHETS The Bible tells us that if a prophet presumes to speak a word in God’s name, which God has not commanded him to speak, that prophet shall die... That false prophets are ferocious wolves in sheep’s clothing. (Matthew 7:15) Yet false prophets abound and thrive in the Christian world.
THE GIFT OF PROPHECY HANDLED CAREFULLY When someone "senses" something is God's will, or has words come into their minds, they may sincerely think that they have a prophetic gift, or that they are hearing a prophetic word, but they may come up with something which either violates Scripture or, even if it doesn't, is simply NOT a word from God. They can sincerely love God while bringing up nearly any thoughts that come to their mind. So if you use the words "Thus saith the Lord", you should be willing to be put to death if it doesn’t come to pass.
THE DEIFICATION OF MAN Although the New Age itself is primarily influenced by Eastern religions, paganism, and spiritism. And many, if not most, of their beliefs come from so called 'spirit guides', most Christians are still unaware of the nature, power, and danger posed by the New Age ideas in the world around us, and in our churches. Like frogs being slowly brought up to the boil, Christians have gradually been acclimatized into accepting ideas and practices that any self respecting Berean, unimpressed by 'new revelation', would have run a mile from. Although both Old and New Testaments explicitly, and repeatedly, affirm that there is only one God and that there never has been, nor ever will be another god, many so called, "Christian" leaders teach that men are "little gods"... yet another example of how New Age beliefs have crept into the church.
SELF ESTEEM The apostle Paul warned us that one of the characteristics of the last days would be that "men shall be lovers of their own selves" (2 Tim. 3:2).
HEAVEN CAN’T WAIT Visionaries throughout the centuries have claimed to have been caught up to the other side, however visions of heaven throughout the centuries have been significantly conditioned by whichever view of the afterlife prevailed at the time. Besides which contradictory versions about trips to heaven shoot wide of Scripture in significant areas.
JESUS DESCENDED INTO HELL According to this doctrine Jesus was ushered into hell where He was tortured for three days and nights by Satan and his demons, then was reborn or “born again” in hell....
