A reader from Australia writes: Dear Berean Research, Having come from Charismatic circles, I was involved for many years with the Aglow movement. It was started in the USA back in 1967.

Furtick, Elevation Church activate N.A.R. Apostles
“Prophetic Activations” will happen next week at Steven Furtick’s Elevation Church, a clear indicator that Furtick is not just affiliating, but becoming one with the heretical New Apostolic Reformation. I first noticed Furtick dipping his toe into the signs-and-wonders New Apostolic Reformation movement when he traveled to Australia for the Continue Reading
Leaving the NAR Church: Derrick’s story
“The fruit of this movement is destruction. It’s true though, when you are in it, you cannot see what is wrong. You think, “oh, that is just a different way of looking at that verse.” You don’t realize the full extent of what all the doctrines are that they are Continue Reading
Leaving the NAR Church: Andrew’s Story
The pastor stopped in the middle of a sermon and said, “God is telling someone here that if you don’t stop doing that thing, He’s going to kill you.” Imagine how everyone must have felt that day – “Is it me?” Andrew was submerged and drowning in every kind of Continue Reading

The Progressive Disease of Spiritual Deception in Our Time
Those who once stood firm on the solid foundation of biblical doctrine have gone soft. So soft, in fact, that one can hardly differentiate between the so-called born-again Christ followers and the carnal world. Jesus is not surprised at all, as He warned that this would happen. A writer named Continue Reading
Leaving the NAR Church: Phil’s story
Something supernatural is going on in the NAR movement. I once thought this to be the Holy Spirit. I now believe it to be demonic, Satan disguising himself as an angel of light. Phil’s hunger for God was idolatry. He was focused on wanting more and more experiences of God’s Continue Reading
Should I listen to haters who hate The Shack?
Why in the world would Christians ruin a perfectly great movie with their criticisms and negativity? Finally there is a film about forgiveness that helps people think in an out-of-the-box way about God, so why can’t they just leave well enough alone? Those are the questions you may be asking, Continue Reading
Leaving the NAR Church: Penny’s story
“Thinking that we would be safe in a conservative church was a huge mistake. I was repeatedly told I was causing the devil to destroy the unity of the church. The NAR is infiltrating our churches and most Christians are unaware of the dangers.” Penny is from Canada, and after Continue Reading
