I have gone to an "Assembly of God" church for nearly 30 years. Recently my church has turned its pulpit over to some NAR types. I don't know if I should use names or not. One, who claims that he and his wife hold the "office of prophets" is very troubling because even though there were prophets mentioned in the new testament there was no "office" of prophet. these people claim that the office of prophet was restored to the church during the latter rain revival in 1949 and my pastor believes that is true.
The Assembly of God teaches that prophets in the new testament were never mentioned as holding a recognized hierarchical office and if that is the truth then you cannot restore to the church something it never had. Also, if that is the truth my pastor is lying and if my pastor is true the denomination that ordained him is lying.
Prophets and Personal Prophecies
Modern day self proclaimed prophets claim all the authority and respect of the "office" of prophet. "touch not the lords anointed, do his prophets no harm" But say they are only human and can make mistakes, therefore, what they prophecy in Gods name might not come true but that doesn't mean they are not prophets just human. Thy can't have it both ways, if you claim to be a prophet of God then everything you say in Gods name must happen or you are a false prophet worthy of death.
There is a lot more that is happening that I will post later. There are a lot of people at this church that I believe truly love the Lord and I am afraid they will be led astray. I have not had the courage to speak to my pastor face to face about these things.
I have spent my entire christian life in the AoG and don't no anything about churches and denominations. I listen a lot to Pirate Christian Radio and Fighting for the Faith which is Lutheran.
Bye for now.
