Dear Friends,
"Shocked"? I'm more shocked about this going through churches like a virus:
Galatians 1:6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;

Why Bill Johnson says the Bible is not enough |
by Holly Pivec, 1/26/18
One of the core beliefs at Bethel Church in Redding, California, is the need for new revelation from God, which is in contrast to the so-called old revelation of the Bible as it has been understood for the past 2,000 years. New revelation can refer to many different things. It includes knowledge about what's currently taking place in heaven and new interpretations of Scripture that are based on direct revelation from the Holy Spirit, apart from a historical and grammatical hermeneutic. It also includes what Johnson calls "new revelation of Jesus." And it includes creative ideas-such as fresh music lyrics that will result in mass conversions to Christianity and breakthrough inventions in science and medicine. However, Bethel's teachings about the need for new revelation inevitably shift the focus away from the written Word of God in Scripture, insofar as it has been understood for the past two millennia. Their teachings also place Bethel outside of historic Protestant Christianity, based on the 16th century Protestant Reformation, which has taught that the church is to look to Scripture-not new revelations-for its beliefs and practices.

Bickle's Bible Botching |
by Spirit of Error, 1/28/18
Mike Bickle-the leader of the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City, Missouri-is revered by many people in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement as a sound Bible teacher, as someone who majors on teaching people the written Word of God. But I have noticed something disturbing about his teachings. The Bible verses he uses to support them frequently have nothing to do with those teachings-and sometimes they actually teach something very different. In this post, I look at one of Bickle's teachings and show how he attempts to support it through the use of a botched interpretation of Scripture. This example should raise a flag of caution in people's minds when they encounter his other NAR teachings.
