I am sorry to say that some are:
I got involved in a new church plant not too long ago. Everything seemed to be ok, as at the time there were no disqualifying factors and no red flags . I was asked to be involved in leadership, and went to all the meetings. One of these meetings, the Pastor put on music and everyone was getting into the spirit ( which spirits I dont know).There was laughter and similar shenanigans,and I did more research on Che Ahn ( harvest international ) who this pastor was/is closely involved with. I left the church, but not without giving the studies to the Pastor. He defended it as stating it was a "renewal" and did some tap dancing around the issue. He immediately removed the Harvest International symbol from the website.I believe this pastor and others are fully aware of what they are doing and are indeed wolves among the sheep.

I believe that when you go outside of the Church, this garbage happens
