Zone, some of the emphasis that are made in this list of 'trends' is certainly applicable for the church and to the church and should not be dismissed or blamed just because of a movement. If you put these out, with the wording and terminology that has been made defining these trends and you condemn and warn others of each one of them as you have, then anything that God does within the church and the work done in the heart of every believer that relates to any of these terms would be suspect and rejected because of the label that you have placed upon it.

For example:

#8. Release of greater grace to handle increased persecution and suffering of the Church worldwide.

This is very true as to what God provides not only when we sin but when we live godly lives (2Tim 3:12).

Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Without the apostles and prophets present in the church, great grace (or greater grace), upon those that believe, would still be the witness to the body of Christ of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, so greater grace can not be discounted as a witness, or as a sufficiency and supply (Eph 4:7,15,16, Phil 1:9, 4:19) or as that which much more abounds when sin abounds (Rom 5:20,21). Greater grace is what God supplies in all these things and it is His testimony to the body of Christ of the resurrection life that is in His Son that every member of His body has been baptised unto at salvation (Rom 4:25, 6:4, Col 2:12 ).
well i'm sorry for not fine-tuning that warning for you Red.
i'll try harder.

Zone speaks against the NAR because she is a cessationist. She does not believe in prophets or apostles for today. She willingly cuts 2/5 of the given offices out of the equation when God does not.
When scripture talks of Apostles for the churches its talking about THE Apostles. The 12. Apostles were apointed. They did their job. Then they died and went to the Father. Now we have their testaments and teachings.

Prophets are still around. We are FORTHtelling the Word of God for you right now.

We each come boldly before the throne of grace. Grace that is always sufficient. For someone to
stand an announce its some new thing, is absurd! To make a call for people to receive through them
some new last days provision that is already ours for the asking, is probably a mediator and when
has that been good. How can sufficient grace be greater?

Is His grace something we judge? or is it a promise we believe by faith?
This are tests folks thats why the false teachers and prophets are here.

Has Zone been offended and does she want a lollipop to ease the pain? Those that love the word nothing shall offend them (Ps 119:165). How about you Zone, you love the word so why have you been offended when you should have great peace?

Great peace have they which love thy law: and NOTHING shall offend them.

like this test Abiding? notice how the wonders and signs COME TO PASS? which means they actually happen.... the only problem is you assume that people know who God truly is to begin with and they worship Him as He has commanded...

Deuteronomy 13
1 “If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.


don't know Red she sounded more annoyed at nitpicking to me but anyways I love lollipops ;)

Spiritual Warfare According to the Warfare Worldview, Part 1
Presented by
Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
[SIZE=-2]Broadcast Monday, December 1, 2008[/SIZE]

C. Peter Wagner, Bob Larson, Greg Boyd and others teach a worldview in which the well-being of Christians depends on interactions between spirits and humans. They claim there is a spiritual legal system that must be uncovered and used to fight the spirits MP3 (duration 00:30:37)

Critical Issues Commentary: False Spiritual Warfare Teachings Radio Broadcasts

In the past I have taken issue with your posts citing "Bob DeWaay", mostly for a sort of
imbalance in his position. Recently it has been posted on his church website that he has
been removed from office for this same [sort of] imbalance (see the blog and email from
his church below). I admit that he, not unlike you, brings up good issues, and in many
places has made valid and meaningful contribution -- indeed, this is what makes it so sad
for the fellowship and unity of believers. Pray for him, pray for us all...


It is this idea of ministries of finger pointing that is a waste of time. It points out others
errors, denying their truths, and not being able to take the truth apart from the error,
condemning and moving on. We must have a call to an alternative, holistic truth, and
stop the Chaos of chasing every heretic, deceiver, and apostate for chasing sake. Take
their truth, add it to your doctrinal statement, take their error, file it to Red Flags File,
Then address them, rebuke them, call to change ... Still can't get the 'context' down

It would be a Logical Fallacy Link -->> http://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/29676-logical-fallacies.html to say that " a person who says that
" 6 + 6 = 12", is a false teacher because he has an alcoholic problem". I am compassionate
with and empathetic to the pressures any preacher, or anyone outspoken on any issue is
under.
The Narrow Path, the Straight Gate is THE WAY. We must find truth and detect
falseness, always calling back to the light of The Word.


Bob DeWaay removed from post at Twin City Fellowship:

This is the email that we received from them. Pastor Carl Johnson responded as follows:

January 7, 2011

Dear Ronny:

Thank you for your inquiry about Bob. It’s encouraging to hear from people
who are concerned about him. Allow me to set in place the events that
have happened. After it became known that Bob was addicted to alcohol,
we as Elders, realized that we had to remove him as pastor and elder based
on 1 Timothy 3:2,3,7 and Titus 1:6,7,8. Our intent as elders and as a church
is to restore Bob according to Galatians 6:1. This process has already been
under way now for sometime.


Bob recently finished rehab for substance abuse and is now back at church.
The elders and others are working with him to restore him back to
fellowship. Our hope and prayer is that down the road there will be aspects
of ministry that Bob will be able to serve in again. What his ultimate future
holds is still undetermined.


I can assure you that our congregation has responded in a very
compassionate and caring way and its desire is to see Bob grow from this
situation and to be restored back to the body.


Blessings,
Pastor Carl Johnson

Red, i prefer, as i asked you before privately (though you decided once already to publish my private pm), that we not do this part. we agree on the Gospel....let that be enough, because we don't agree on anything else.

i am not at all offended. neither am i intimidated.

what is truth will stand, what isn't will not.

OK one at a time....look these guys over. Rick Joyner...Knights of Malta

The History of the Knights of Malta ...

The Oath of the Knights of Columbus, Knights of Malta and Rhodes Scholars is based upon the Oath of the Jesuits


(This is an extract of the Congressional Record of the House of Representatives dated February 15, 1913, where the oath is entered as purported to be of the Knights of Columbus).

More on Rick Joyner later
Rightly said! So? Mackey exposes others on the behalf of the Masons, but the masons
cannot promote their own fallacies to the public either. It's like so many preachers today,
finger pointing and blaming the other false pastor. It's as if The Sharks are saying The
Jets are evil, and while it may be so, it confers no righteousness back to the Sharks.
We
must address them all ...


They are like the Blind men and the Elephant ...

WITHOUT A FRAMEWORK - NO ONE SEES THE TRUTH
...
CONCLUSION.

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!


MORAL.

So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

Zone speaks against the NAR because she is a cessationist. She does not believe in prophets or apostles for today. She willingly cuts 2/5 of the given offices out of the equation when God does not.
Maggie, The stuff i posted, is written, and researched by, a woman, who is a "dilliverence Minister" and NOT a cessationist. Iposted it, to show that its NOT just people who dont speak in tounges that know this stuff to be evil. There is a GREAT difference between "dissliking" a certain group, and allowing people to follow blindly, peopel who are leadign them astray. IF you want to CONTINUE backing the NAR, thats up to you. I dont think anyone is here to stop YOU from doign what you want.

But its TRUTH that these peopel are NOT doing the will of GOD, and i hope and pray they repent(if they even can)

Again, Pat Holliday, has written MUCH to expose these people, and SHE is NOT a cessationist. SO i figgured YOU may listen more to HER then to Zone.

these verses come to mind


37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41I receive not honour from men.

42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

Yes, and i will make it simple for you.

Zone would never expose a wolf, or any other minister of satan, because she is one, and a kingdom divided cannot stand. The only thing she attacks it truth

Dont be fooled though, Satan is crafty. She will speak truth in small portions, just to keep the sheep listening, so she can feed them lies.

Your the crafty fella...bring the proof. 4runner. how is she doing anything you just said. what lies??
are you slandering because your feelings are hurt? Your the one with abhorrent views of scripture
which are not only wrong, they keep people preoccupied with themselves at the expense of the truth.
And a walk of faith.

Your trick is to make up all kinds of could be's and people think this or that. And the devil this or that,
Then poof out of your hat comes a silly manmade doctrine. I hope zone keeps you blistered till you stop
your personal campaign for your personal halftruth teachings. I was being generous with my opinion.

She exposes no one remember a kingdom divided cannot stand.

Why would a minister of satan try and expose anyone except for one who is spreaking truth?

Whose speaking truth? You? That old story of if you get corrected or rebuked.. its the devil..sure nuf
cuz your speaking truth. How can you be so conceited. Its an old and tacky line. Ill say some of your teachings
do not align with scripture, no not in any century. Your entitled to your opinions. Dont expect them to be accepted.

Give proof or knock off the slander. I know your crew gets off on it. But i sure dont.

I do not support or oppose NAR, but I do oppose those that oppose NAR, especially the wolf we know as Zone. So I am going to find out who they really are before deciding anything rather than taking a wolf's word for it.
