Apostles

NAR “apostles” are as phony as a three-dollar bill

In their blogpost “The Apostles Who Don’t Do Anything,” Cameron Buettel and Jeremiah Johnson of Grace to You team up to answer the question many folks have been asking: Does the Church have modern-day apostles as NAR top dogs purport?  And if what they say is true, who determines when God has commissioned someone as an apostle?

Quick Thoughts: What is the “Seven Mountains Mandate”?

Lyndon Unger of Mennoknight, who also blogs for The Cripplegate, has written an excellent piece on the Seven Mountains Mandate (SMM).  This is a subject we’ve reported on many times to remind people of the unbiblical nature of this so-called mandate.  Still, a large number of professing evangelicals are unaware that SMM is the brainchild of the New Apostolic […]

Mike Bickle among “those pastors who want to join the Catholics in unity”

IHOP-KC director, Mike Bickle, desires to include the Catholic religion in the Body of Christ.  John Lanagan of My Word Like Fire points us to the promo Bickle and a Catholic did for the Onething 2015 conference.  As previously reported, “Reformed pastor,” author and speaker Francis Chan was among the speakers at the conference. “The Bible […]

Francis Chan’s not afraid of the big bad wolf, says “I still love Mike Bickle!”

In a piece I wrote titled The Prosperity Preacher and the Pied Piper of IHOP I warned the Body of Christ that it had become evident that popular preacher Francis Chan had started moving away from Christian orthodoxy and offered proof of this.  One thing I found problematic was that Chan chose to unite with and […]
