I posted this in other threads but I think this is a good place to post it again. Thank you for starting this thread. Video shows how the new age movement has infiltrated the Catholic and Protestant churches. We must be careful who we listen to.

The Archbishop of Canterbury was made a celtic druid a few years ago:

And billy graham has lost his way too. Even Benny Hinn preaches a more correct gospel than billy graham. Benny never says you can get to heaven without JEsus.

New Age is very similar to Hinduism. It has multiple Gods or Spirits... is generally pantheistic - (God being in objects and nature- not just created them.. but actually an object or a tree being God)...
It is really a combination of beliefs... choose your own, make your own religion.
So you have people who will put on the 'Christ consciousness'.. seemingly christian... but then also look to Buddhist leaders teachings and also Hindu philosophers.
It is basically Western Zen Buddhism with a bit of Hinduism aswell.
I was into these kind of beliefs for a few years.. believing I could draw energy from nature and people 'divine' energy.. and that would bring oneness with everything. I would meditate, draw power from crystals, believe I had past lives, get into group healings.
I was actually trying to combine Christianity with these beliefs.. but just ended up squishing my beliefs.. like chalk and cheese.
I believe I was saved before I got into the New Age beliefs.. since I sincerely called for salvation at 13. I also attended Protestant churches right from 0-22 years old.
Getting into the New Age stuff didn't unto my salvation- I don believe there is any way it can be lossed.. but I certainly would have hurt the Holy Spirit.. welcoming His discipline and rebuke.
Thankfully.. I woke up when I got to university.. after joinging a christian club on campus.. I was taught the reality of Jesus Christ.. not just that he might be the Son of God.. or might be the saviour.. but that He IS.. and will preserve my salvation. I learned assurance of salvation.. eternal security.. how to study the bible.. how to share my faith and how to run a small group..
Now I am a member of an independent missionary baptist church in New Zealand.. and what I learned has allowed God to work in me so I am now in leadership at this church.
Anyway..

Also, when it infiltrates christianity.. this is when you get hyper charismania.. or believing that people can actually be God.. not just be like God .. but have equal power. An example of this is the Word of Faith movement... check out Kingdom of the Cults book for what influence that has.
'Ye are Gods' is a verse that is used and taken out of context for supporting this kind of christianity..
The thing with this one .. is it not referring to divinity but to magistrates and lords... official positions for people who have influence of large numbers of people.
Same goes for the 'Sons of God mated with the daughters of Eve'... these weren't Gods.. but sinful men who had a close lineage to the original Adam and Eve. So they would probably be stronger.. taller.. etc... because the line was less varied.
Anyhoo.. point being.. the influence New Age has on christianity is embewing people with more than they actually have.. and bringing in mysticism and paganism subtley into christian doctrine.

I do believe that these sons of God were fallen angels and I come to believe this strictly from the O.T. So shall it be when Christ returns as it was in the days of Noah. I can document that it is satan and the fallen angels that come to fool the world into believing that satan is Christ. That what this whole universal Christ movement is leading up to. He shall be the messiah for all religions when he comes. Woe to those with child when Christ comes, they are no longer spiritual virgins for they have partaken in the false wedding.
