The Need to Address Alternative and New Religious Movements

We live in a culture that are driven by what is experiential; not what is objective. For example: There are many professing Christians who prefer experience ("inward" voice) as oppose to the content of biblical truth. In so many words the Church today have in fact become so dissatisfied as to the biblical content of God's Word in favor of what is mystical ("voice of God") by which the intrusion of mysticism have sap the spiritual lifeblood of the church today as to its skeletal remains (2 Tim. 2:17, 18).      I am applaud as I have witness over the years "how" that the church today have travel the road of theological mysticism by which many believers have been led astray.  Whenever the Church explicitly deny the authority of the Bible ("rule of faith") so as to seek some "newer" revelation to validate its relationship with the God than is it walking on dangerous grounds.  If in fact scripture is not sufficient than there is no s...

There are books on the Christian marketplace who promote hearing God's voice. The consensus  is in favor of hearing God's voice within a person [human] spirit as opposed to what is revealed already within the written revelation of the Bible (2 Tim. 3:15, 16).  In order that a person can receive salvation is through personal faith in Jesus Christ; not what is experiential theology (Col. 2:18, 19).  The problem with Christian mystics in the professing church today is to claim that God has given them such personal revelation, prophecy, or prophetic utterance whereby such "revelation" of the spirit is their source of authority; not the objective truth of God's Word (2 Pet. 1:19-21).    Throughout this article I will begin to lay the foundation as to the content of the nature of the Bible as it relates to the authority and inspiration of scripture (2 Tim. 3:16).  Scripture is inspired by God by which the Holy Spirit (God) is the Author of scripture.  As...

There is such a misunderstanding of the Person and work of the Holy Spirit. When it comes to the Person of the Holy Spirit is that the Spirit of God is a Divine Person; not some impersonal "force" or "it" taught by many cults today.  In these times the Holy Spirit is ever mentioned nor it is taught within the Church today as if they have such a complete understanding of the Person of the Holy Spirit, but are teaching doctrines that are contrary to the clear teaching of scripture (1 Tim. 4:1).     The apostle Paul according to 1 Timothy 4:1 says, "The Spirit clearly says that in the latter times some will abandon the faith and following deceiving spirits and things taught by demons."  We are living in the last days where people today within the professing church will abandon the true faith so as to pay attention to deceiving spirits taught by demons." It is important that we as God's people begin to teach what is taught clearly in scripture: th...
