Humm,been out of ministry a while hadn't heard of NAR. Googled it and the name Peter Wagner,comes up. From wiki Wagner claims " that God acted through him to end mad-cow disease in Germany"
Ummmm what?!
Wagner continues...
Wagner has listed the differences between the NAR and traditional Protestantism as follows:[SUP][1][/SUP]
This my friends is a recipe for a whole lot of false doctrine. Seen it all before. Kingdom believers,that
nonsense came around when I was a kid,back in the 80s we had a nondenominational church pop up.All
sorts of new beliefs and revelations.When are people going to get this 'its the Gospel stupid"!! We dont
need a new way,we dont need a praise and worship team,we dont need a tv for football,we don't need
flashing lights,gold in the teeth,feathers from heaven!!!! What we need is an old fashioned REVIVAL.The
Bible says "return to the old paths". We don't need a new thing we need the old Gospel.

Wagner has listed the differences between the NAR and traditional Protestantism as follows:[SUP][1][/SUP]
- Apostolic governance – The Apostle Paul's assertion that Jesus appoints apostles within his church continues to this day.
- The office of the prophet – There is within the church a role and function for present-day prophets.
- Dominionism – "When Jesus came, He brought the kingdom of God and He expects His kingdom-minded people to take whatever action is needed to push back the long-standing kingdom of Satan and bring the peace and prosperity of His kingdom here on earth."[SUP][2][/SUP]
- Theocracy – Not to be confused with theocratic government but rather the goal to have "kingdom-minded people" in all areas of society. There are seven areas identified specifically: religion, family, education, government, media, arts & entertainment, and business.[SUP][1][/SUP]
- Extra-biblical revelation – There is available to all believers the ability to hear from God. "The one major rule governing any new revelation from God is that it cannot contradict what has already been written in the Bible. It may supplement it, however."
- Supernatural signs and wonders – Signs and wonders such as healing, demonic deliverance, and confirmed prophecies accompany the move of God.
- Relational structures – church governance has no formal structure but rather is by relational and voluntary alignment to apostles.[SUP][4][/SUP]
