When The Ends AND The Means Are
Unjustifiable
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Way back in 1976 C.
Peter Wagner had already expressed a foundation of
sand upon which his entire "apostolic" kingdom is
built. To back up his notions, he and his
friends such as John
Wimber, Paul
Cain and many others
began to get the cart before the horse. They
tried to create revival where there was none with
unbiblical and even heretical ideas. They
imported occult ideas from false religions into the
churches, such as "slain
in the spirit" and called
the results "revival". The means they used
were the counterfeit revivals of the Word Of Faith
Movement, the Vineyard
movement, the Toronto
"Blessing", the Brownsville
"Outpouring" and on
down the line to latest Todd
Bentley "Lakeland Revival". The
proof that the means have all been unjustifiable is
in the unjustifiable ends. Lakeland has now
come to an apparent abrupt end due to false healing
and dead raising claims, many false teachings, a
false "transferable" anointing, and sexual
misconduct. You can read about these things in
our Todd
Bentley section. Yet
the leadership of the New
Apostolic Reformation has
not even been slowed by yet another bad end brought
about by the self-destruction of the means. In
the latest ElijahList the false prophets are
prophesying even greater revivals to come.

The Handkerchief Phenomenon
Addendum to
“A Whole Lot Of Wishful Thinking These Days”
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There is a new
phenomenon especially among some island churches
where handkerchiefs are being handed around a
congregation claiming that they have an anointing
that can cause people to be healed and other
miraculous things happen to them. The problem with
this idea is especially evident in two things: (1)
that this can and is being considered by many to be
Christian magic and (2) that it is being taught as
being something that should be a normal part of the
Christian experience. It is taught that if you
have faith you will believe in touching the
handkerchief that you will be healed, freed from
demons, or get a special anointing. But faith
is not proven by signs and wonders.

Baha’i
& YWAM's "Indigenous People's Movement"
(IPM)
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
This chart should be of
grave interest to those in YWAM and those
supporting YWAM and its agenda with the IPM or
"First Nations" movement led by people like Daniel
Kikawa (Perpetuated In
Righteousness), Don Richardson (Eternity in Their
Hearts:Startling Evidence of Belief in the One
True God in Hundreds of Cultures Throughout the
World), John Dawson (Taking Our Cities
for God: How to Break Spiritual Strongholds), Richard Twiss (One Church, Many
Tribes : Following Jesus the Way God Made You), Terry LeBlanc (Creating
Christian Indians: Native Clergy in the
Presbyterian Church) and many others.
You will notice a very close comparison in this
chart between false religion and so-called
"Christian" leaders. Please read what YWAM, The
Emerging Chuch, the WCGP and
others are teaching that are almost exactly what
the Baha'i teach.

Three Fallacies Of Third Wave
Spiritual Warfare Teachings
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
When
so-called Christians employ Biblical pagan methods
to rid themselves of demons, they end up giving
the enemy an opportunity to deceive them and a
foothold in their lives. When Israel
disobeyed the Lord's command to come down to
Jerusalem and worship Him in the temple under the
Law, and instead chose to set up altars in the
high places, the result was that they ended up
worshiping demons. They thought they were
worshiping God, but ended up worshiping Baal and
Ashtoreth. You cannot live a life glorifying
to the Lord unless you obey Him.

The Duties of
Christian Leadership
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Christians, and especially Christian
leadership, are called to be salt and light in a
dark world.
Matt.
5:13-16 "You are the salt of the earth.
But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be
made salty again? It is no longer good for
anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by
men. "You are the light of the world. A
city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people
light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they
put it on its stand, and it gives light to
everyone in the house. In the same way, let your
light shine before men, that they may see your
good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
When the
Lord tells us to be salt and light, He states both
the positive and the negative. That is the way
with all Scripture. We can’t just take the
positive and be done with the subject. We have
to consider all the ramifications of being salt and
light. Salt is used to season food and make it
taste good. It was and still is used as a
preservative. In the same way Christians are
to be salt in the world. Without the witness
of Christ, without standing for the truth, life is
ultimately tasteless and rotten. Anyone here
who was a sinner for any length of time without the
Savior knows what I am talking about. But the
flip side is that salt can lose its saltiness.
Christians can lose their saltiness by diluting the
Gospel message to the point where it is
useless. Let me give you an example of a
washed out Gospel often preached in churches
today.

The New
Powerless Gospel
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
TI have been
challenged lately to think again about what the
Gospel message is all about. This has come as
a result of hearing what I considerto be, at the
very least, "gospel lite" and at the most no gospel
at all being presented by a number of
neo-evangelicals, Third Wavers and
outrightheretics. The interesting thing is
that many seem to be preaching the same message.
What is most intriguing is that false teachers like
Benny Hinn, ecumenicals, and even some preachers I
would considerto be orthodox in their theology are
preaching a "gospel" that is very similar.The
question is: Is this new gospel message really the
Gospel at all?

Leviathan
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This
creature that existed, and may yet exist, is used
as a description of the might and
power of the enemy.
Isaiah
27:1 In
that day the LORD will
punish Leviathan the
fleeing serpent, With His fierce and
great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the
twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in
the sea. (NASB)
Speaking of the “day of the Lord”,
when the Lord comes back again to rule and judge
the earth, Isaiah says that the Lord will punish
Leviathan the dragon. Satan
is likened to leviathan, a serpent, and he is said
to live in the sea.
Revelation
13:1 And the dragon
stood on the sand of the seashore. Then
I saw a beast coming up out of the sea,
having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten
diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous
names. (NASB)
Again the dragon comes out of the
sea, which is symbolic of the nations of the
world, but perhaps is also tied to a literal
meaning. He
has multiple heads which are symbolic of the heads
of the nations of the end times, but he is also
said to have multiple heads before the symbolism
of the nations of the revived Babylon come into
being, as recorded in Ps. 74:14 and Job.

Pre
Millennial and Post Millennial Doctrines Do
Not Mix
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Many Christians today (having allowed themselves
to be diapraxed by false teachers on TV, in books,
in seminars and on tape) have begun to accept a
mixture of Pre Mil and Post Mil doctrines.
Many claim they still hold to a Pre Trib Rapture
(or another Pre Mil scenario) and at the same time
would claim that Christians are in a great end
times revival, that "Transformation" is taking
place all over the world, and that our mandate is
to retake dominion over the whole world including
its businesses, social agendas and political
arenas (a Post Mil scenario). But what many
"Christians" today do not realize is: the
mixture they have accepted is oxymoronic.

New
Age & Eastern Mysticism in the Churches
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There are two kingdoms being taught
in many churches today. Teaching about one of the
kingdoms is on the decline while the other is
being promoted all over the place. I am
warning Christians that they need to check out who
is using the word "kingdom", the books they have
been reading and recommend on building "the
kingdom", the people they have been hanging out
with at conferences, and what they mean by "the
kingdom".

Why False Teachers Have So Many Followers
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
1 John
4:4-6 You, dear children, are from God and
have overcome them, because the one who is in you is
greater than the one who is in the world. They
are from the world and therefore speak from the
viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to
them. We are from God, and whoever knows God
listens to us; but whoever is
not from God does not listen to us. This
is how we recognize the Spirit {Or spirit} of truth
and the spirit of falsehood.
The reason why
false teachers, who deny one or more of the core
doctrines of the Faith, gain so many followers is
that they are saying what the world wants to
hear. They organize their churches so that
they cater to unbelievers, and once non Christians
come in they are fed a diet devoid of the essential
nutrition of the Gospel and sound doctrine.
False teachers conduct surveys to see what
non-believers are looking for in a "church" and then
provide those things. False teachers claim
they are bringing people into the Kingdom when in
fact they are bringing them out of the world and
back into the world, the only difference now being
that they are spending their money in support of
some apostate leader and/or group.

False Apostles
of
the New Apostolic Reformation
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The
NAR proponents claim to be foundational Apostles to
the modern church. This claim is exactly what
Paul warned the Church about regarding false
apostles. The term "false apostles" is used only
once in the Bible in 2 Cor. 11:13. False
apostles are identified as those who claim they are equal with
the the foundational Apostles. The NAR
proponents go even further! They claim to be GREATER than
the original Apostles.

article.
Jude 1:1-2 Jude, a servant of
Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who
have been called, who are loved by God the Father
and kept by Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace and love be
yours in abundance. Jude was the brother of Jesus
Christ. But it is significant that he calls
himself the brother of James. Jude wants everyone
to know that, though he is a half-brother of Jesus
Christ through his mother Mary, he considers
himself to be a servant of Jesus. I’m sure there
were those who tried to idolize him for being the
brother of Jesus Christ. If he had the character
of some of the current large crop of false
teachers, he would have written “Jude, the brother
of Jesus Christ.” I’m sure if some of these modern
heretics could trace their roots back to Christ,
they would use that information to get support for
themselves and power over people. But Jude does
just the opposite. He calls himself the servant of
Jesus Christ. He is addressing this letter to
those who have been called, and who are loved by
God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ. So he is
addressing this letter to Christians. God has
called every true believer.

A Word of Encouragement
from Paul
Run the Race, Win the Prize
by
Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we
eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus
Christ, who, by the power that enables him to
bring everything under his control, will transform
our lowly bodies so that they will be like his
glorious body. Jesus Christ is coming
again. We are citizens of heaven, not this
earth, and Jesus will come to take us to our
homeland. So true believers eagerly await
His coming, unlike those who oppose the cross of
Christ who think they must take dominion over the
earth or laugh at the idea of the Rapture.
There are many of them today. We know that
when Jesus comes, by His power, He will bring
everything under His control. We are not
called to do that as the Church. Jesus will
do that when He comes, and when He comes we will
be changed and receive our everlasting bodies that
will never wear out.
1 Cor. 15:51-57 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We
will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in
a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will
be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
For the perishable must clothe itself with the
imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
When the perishable has been clothed with the
imperishable, and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come true:
"Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where,
O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your
sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power
of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Entertainment-style Christianity
vs. Interactive-style Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on
this article.
Today, in a majority of
churches, we see the result of the
seeker-friendly,"purpose-driven", church
growth, Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation
methods and teachings and their product I am
calling"Entertainment-style Christianity"
(ESC). But ESC churches are not only
missing out on the cutting edge of true
Christianity, but areheading down the road to
apostasy.
True biblical Christianity is
"interactive". Those in ESC are taughtto
be spectators at mega-church entertainment
events. They are not taught the Bible
but rather to be enamored with the
oratoricalskills of the preacher, and to not
dare question anything that is shoved down the
throats of the "laity" by the ruling
"anointed"elite. They are treated to a
circus atmosphere including wild CCM music
with people flailing around and acting like
they are on drugs, topreachers who tell
endless stories about themselves and joke
about everything while actually making
profundity mundane, to hula dancing,to banners
and marching in the church and around it, to
the blowing of shofars, to slain in the spirit
and wild manifestations. Theirsears are
tickled by guest speakers who make up sermons
out of their own imaginations instead of the
written Word. They are entertainedwith
gold dust, gold fillings, "angel" feathers,
"angel" footprints, drunk in the spirit
antics, and during these displays they can go
outand get a latte and a snack at the church
snack bar. They come into these mega
churches and leave without being personally
challengedother than with tired worldly
psychology, and without anyone being able to
find out what they are doing in their private
lives. A smallpercentage attend "cell
groups" where they are diapraxed into
consensus instead of challenged to be Bereans
and think and act forthemselves. They
live like the world during the week, then come
to church where the world is not only welcomed
but accommodated.

Saturate 2020 adherants are those
who are drunk and think they can save the planet
by Sandy Simpson

Commentators
seem to think that this section of Habakkuk was

these two things often go together.
Those
who love drunk in the spirit are no exception. They
are trying to get others to share in their
debauchery and the false hope of an end-times
worldwide revival, currently through the
Saturate 2020 events. Though
these were two of the heretical distinctives of

are nothing new. The

A Warning about
Saturate 2020
by Sandy Simpson &
Marco Quintana
This DVD is a message based on
this article.
Saturate 2020 is another in a long
line of Latter Rain revivals which do not meet the
criteria of a Biblical revival at all (Acts
3:19). The Toronto “Blessing” and
Brownsville “Revival” both came into towns all
over the world with the promise that people were
getting saved and nothing weird was going on at
their meetings. This was always a lie
as the true Gospel was not preached but instead
people were invited forward to have hands laid on
them in order to transfer an
impartation. Meanwhile false doctrines
were laid down in order to get people involved in
churches like Bethel Church in Redding,
CA. We are warned in Scripture about
this.
Galatians 2:4 But it
was because of the false
brethren secretly brought in, who had
sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in
Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into
bondage.
2 Peter 2:1 But false
prophets also arose among the people, just as
there will also be false teachers among
you, who will
secretly introduce destructive heresies,
even denying the Master who bought them, bringing
swift destruction upon themselves.
The fact that some formerly Biblical churches have
joined this circus is a testament to their lack of
teaching discernment. Some of these
denominations were warned repeatedly about the
Latter Rain, Word of Faith and the New Apostolic
Reformation yet they apparently wanted to remain
“willfully ignorant”. The people
advertised as being involved with this latest
“revival” are almost all associated with Bethel in
some way and promoters of what they teach.
This is not a true Biblical revival but rather a
revival of the occult and New Age among
Christians. This meeting is actually
hurting the cause of Christ and will not have any
real beneficial effect on the culture of
California, which has turned decidedly evil for
decades. These Dominionists
will not be saving the planet, but are rather
setting people up for the coming
antichrist. Nor will they rid the world
of coronavirus, but rather likely add to it.

Should Biblical Churches Be
Christocentric?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Should biblical
Christian churches be Christ-centered
(Christocentric)? Should the doctrines of the
Father (Patriology) and the Holy Spirit
(Pnematology) also be equally emphasized? Can
a church be Patriocentric or Pnemacentric and be
biblical?
The answer to
these questions are quite simple from a biblical
perspective. There have been charges leveled
at some movements such as the Pietist Movement in
Germany and other movements that they place too much
emphasis on Christ to the exclusion of the Father
and the Holy Spirit. This may be true to a
certain degree. The doctrines of the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit must be taught with equal
emphasis so that Christians will know what they
believe.
But should a
church be Patriocentric or Pnemacentric?
No. For instance, there are far too many
churches today, having been influenced by
hyper-Pentecostalism and the Latter Rain, that are
Pnemacentric. They spend most of their time
focusing on the Holy Spirit to the exclusion of
preaching the Gospel while, in fact, they don't even
have a biblical doctrine of the Holy Spirit. I
believe that because classic Evangelicals, to a
certain degree, dropped the ball in defining the
Person and role of the Holy Spirit it gave an
opening to Third Wavers to step in with their
erroneous ideas of Pnematology.

The Letter to Laodicea
Is a Warning to the
TRUE Church Today
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Rev.
3:14-22 And unto the angel of the church
of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the
Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
beginning of the creation of God; I know thy
works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I
would thou wert cold or hot. So then because
thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I
will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou
sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and
have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou
art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and
blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me
gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be
rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be
clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do
not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve,
that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I
will come in to him, and will sup with him, and
he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant
to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my Father in his
throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Much has been made of this passage, using it to
point out what is happening today in the
apostate churches around the world. It is
true that they believe they are rich in
spiritual things when they are very poor.
It can be applied in one sense to the Word of Faith movement.
It is true that the "River" movement of Latter
Rain teachings do think they are hot when
actually they are cold.
But this letter to the end
times church of Laodicea is actually talking to
biblical Christians who are born again. The
apostate movements of the Latter
Rain, Third
Wave, Toronto
"Blessing", Vineyard, Brownsville
"Outpouring", Word
of Faith, New
Apostolic Reformation, World Gathering on
Indigenous People, Manifest
Sons of God, Seeker
Friendly, Church
Growth, Emerging
Church and many others
have already had their lampstands removed (Rev.
2:5) because of their apostasy and have already
been spit out of the Lord's mouth (Rev.
3:16). We can know this because of what the
Bible says about those who teach false doctrines
(1 Tim. 6:3-5, 2 Tim. 4:3) and make false
prophecies (1 John 4:1). These false churches,
false movements and false brethren (Gal. 2:4) are
already under the judgment of the warnings of the seven letters,
as all but two of the original first century
churches are today (only the two who Jesus did not
warn still survive today). Therefore the letters to the
churches apply to those
churches who have not had their lampstands removed
and been spit out of the mouth of God because of
heresy and false prophesy. So the warning to
the true biblical churches today remains.
Why is this warning significant to us?
It
is significant because, by in large, it is the
true Church today that has allowed the movements
mentioned above to infiltrate and take over the
agenda for what is called "Christianity" today.

Jesus
Cares for You
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based o
n this article.
Read
Passage: John 6:1-15
The
story of the feeding of the 5000 is found in all
the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
When something is repeated in the Bible it means
that it is important and is something we must try
to understand. There is often a deeper meaning in
sentences or stories that are repeated.
In
this same story repeated in Mark 6:34 it says:
"When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had
compassion on them, because they were like sheep
without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many
things."
One of the main things that Jesus is... is
compassionate. He cares for His people. He was
compassionate then and He is still compassionate
today. Jesus came and saw the needs of the people.
So He did two things. He met their physical need
of hunger for bread, and He also met their
spiritual hunger for the bread of life. As Jesus
told us in John ... He is the bread of life. The
Bible, the Word of God, being the word of the
Father and the Son, is also the bread of
life. Jesus is the living example of the
Word as it also says in John "The Word was made
flesh and lived among us".

What Does The Bible Teach About
"Synergy"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Synergy is also a concept being adapted and
taught today as a major tenet of the Third Wave, New
Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement. Dutch
Sheets was one of the first to introduce this
concept to that movement back in the National School
of the Prophets - Mobilizing the Prophetic Office
Conference at Ted Haggard's New Life Church in

Upgrade Your Old
Hymns For The New Paradigm!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
HUMOR: Time for a rewrite of the
old hymns. In this day and age of Third Wave
revival movements and Word-Faith dominion, the old
hymns just aren't cutting it anymore. Not
only are they old fashioned musically, but the
lyrics are, for the most part, particularly
depressing. They talk of sin, death, repentance,
the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole host of
other disgusting subjects. There are also
too many lyrics in them, frankly, which takes away
from the "worship" atmosphere. Repetitiveness is
what we need, not dead doctrinal concepts. The old
hymns are just too biblical. Give us a beat to
move our feet, not concepts to move our hearts and
minds!
Here is a list of some hymns that
could be "upgraded" to meet the criteria of the
Third Wave, Word-Faith, Latter Rain, Manifest Sons
Of God, New Apostolic Reformation. This list
is by no means complete. If you don't
recognize the hymns mentioned perhaps it would be
worth your time to go back and read them, then
compare what they say to the new doctrines.

Almost Saved
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
“To be almost saved is to be
totally lost.” – Adrian Rogers
There are many so-called “Christians”
today who are clearly “almost saved” by their
testimonies and/or actions.But
to be “almost saved” is to be completely lost.A person who is drowning and
almost saved drowns.A woman
who is almost pregnant is not pregnant.King Agrippa
said, “You are almost persuading me to be a
Christian (Acts 26:28)” but being almost persuaded
is not enough to be saved.
The word “almost” means “very nearly”,
“not quite.” In light of this we may conclude that
to come close to the target, or “almost” hit it,
means to completely miss the mark. (Shalem Evangelical Church
Bush Hall Yard Gap, St. Michael)

"Silence
the
noise of your songs"
by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 “I hate, I reject your
festivals, nor do I delight in your solemn
assemblies. “Even though you offer up to Me
burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not
accept them; and I will not even look at the peace
offerings of your fatlings. “Take away from Me the
noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the
sound of your harps. “But let justice roll down like
waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing
stream. Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain
offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house
of Israel? You also carried along Sikkuth your king
and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which
you made for yourselves. Therefore, I will make you
go into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose
name is the God of hosts. When I first reread this
passage in Amos, a few things struck me. First
of all the Lord is bringing judgment on Israel for
carrying on religious ceremony without true
dedication to the Lord. They sing songs and
present their offerings while harboring idols.
I was reminded of how the Lord must view the
heretical apostate mega church celebrations of
today. There is a lot of pomp and
circumstance, yet little or no obedience to the Word
of God. The Lord does not look favorably upon
worship of that type, no matter the hype, no matter
the noise, no matter the show. He actually
“hates” it.

How To Find A Good Church
by Sandy Simpson, 2003
Here’s how to find a good
church. What you need to find is a church that
not only has orthodox doctrinal statements but
teaches, both explicitly and implicitly, in line
with the core doctrines of the Faith. These
are Bible-believing Christ-centered churches that
are balanced in their theology. Be sure to
test all churches before you become involved.
It is acceptable to get involved with a house church
or Bible study as long as there is someone who has
the gift of teaching there to lead the study of
God’s Word.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own
assembling together, as is the habit of some, but
encouraging one another; and all the more as you see
the day drawing near.
The Christian life is not one to be
lived alone. Trust me; I have sympathy for
those who have been spiritually injured by false
churches, false prophets, false teachers and false
apostles. It is often a long road back from
the diaprax of heresy. But to undo the
brainwashing you will need help, especially from
those who are already ahead of you on your journey
back. The first century church was known for
the following:
Acts 2:42 They were continually
devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to
fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
This is a good gauge to tell if you
are involved in an effective assembly of believers,
no matter how small. Remember that the first
century churches were in homes. In my
experience smaller churches are much better at doing
the above and more. Avoid mega churches.

This book was written by my mother
and is about my family's experience as missionaries
in Micronesia. Juanita went to be with the
Lord in August of 2018. This book has been a
blessing to many people around the world and I want
to share it with you. - Sandy Simpson
This is the story of a young woman who
goes to the ends of the Earth with her pastor
husband and two small children. While
describing the hardships of living in a remote
village on a remote Pacific Island in the
60's, it also gives us a vision of the joy the
family experienced as well. The heart of the
book is the story of how the author survives
the death of her husband and goes on to serve
God and the Micronesian people in her own
right.This book
reveals a woman of great faith and courage. In
addition, the book is well written and a
pleasure to read.Having met the author, I
will add that there are thousands of people
throughout Micronesia who love her and who
have benefited by her faithfulness and
commitment over the years. Read the book and
get to know this wonderful woman. Review

A Short
History of Dominionism
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In order to understand where the
modern fusion called “Dominioism”
comes from, I want to first give you definitions
of Kingdom Now, Dominionism
and Reconstructionism.
Dominionism is
sparsely defined as follows:
“Dominion Theology (also known
as Dominionism)
is a group of Christian political ideologies
that seek to institute a nation governed by
Christians based on their personal
understandings of biblical law. Extents of
rule and ways of achieving governing authority
are varied. For example, Dominion Theology can
include theonomy,
but does not necessarily involve advocating
Mosaic law as the basis of government. The
label is applied primarily toward groups of
Protestants in the United States.” [1]
It is more closely defined this
way:
“Dominionism,
or Christian Dominionism
is a term coined by social scientists and
popularized by journalists to refer to a
subset of American Christianity that is
conservative, politically active, and believes
that Christians should, and eventually will,
take control of the government. The term is
sometimes used as a “catch-all” by bloggers to
describe any politically active Christian, but
not every conservative, politically minded
Christian is a Dominionist.
Christian Dominionists
believe that God desires Christians to rise to
power through civil systems so that His Word
might then govern the nation. The belief that
“America is a Christian nation” is sometimes
called “soft dominionism”;
the idea that God wants only Christians to
hold government office and run the country
according to biblical law is called
“hard dominionism.”
[2]
“Hard Dominioism” as it is
called in the above definition, is what C. Peter
Wagner (deceased) of the New Apostolic
Reformation (a term he coined) have been
advocating, following the teachings of the New
Order of the Latter Rain and Reformed Theology “Reconstructionism”.

Maturity
Training
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Heb. 5:14 But
solid food is for the MATURE, who by
constant use have trained themselves to
distinguish good from evil.
At the
core of maturity in Christ is the issue of
training to be able to distinguish between
good and evil, right and wrong. But in today’s
churches this issue has not only been
downplayed, but actually swept aside.
I run a
website and get hundreds of emails every week.
Since the website deals with apologetics
against false teachers and false prophets,
about half the email I receive is blasting me
for even bringing up the issue. These emails
are from “Christians” who claim I am not
“anointed”, don’t understand the work of the
Holy Spirit, etc. I am forced to remind them
of Hebrews 5 and Ephesians 4 and the biblical
definition of maturity in Christ. Maturity is
not defined as following dynamic speakers,
running after people who claim the ability to
perform signs and wonders, those with wealth,
charismatic teachers with large numbers of
followers, those with name recognition, and
prophets who make wild prophecies. It is
defined simply as training ourselves to know
the difference between good and evil.
Where
do Christians get solid food? From voices in
their heads, intuition, imaginations, flights
of fancy, signs, wonders? No. Solid food is
consumed by feeding on the meat of the written
Word of God.

The Use of
Invective
in
Apologetics
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This article is about the use of
invective while attempting to do apologetics or
teaching discernment. Invective is defined as
a noun: insulting, abusive, or highly critical
language ie. "he let out a stream of
invective". I admit to using invective at
times in the past. My goal is to stop that
practice and focus on the facts, not attack an
individual’s ability to comprehend.
In the case of Christians, the first
thing to consider when doing apologetics is our
mandate to reconcile people to Christ, no matter who
they are.
2 Cor. 5:18-21 Now all these
things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry of
reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself, not counting
their trespasses against them, and He has
committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as
though God were making an appeal through us; we
beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our
behalf so that we might become the righteousness
of God in Him.

Ten Questions
For those who Claim the "Supreme Beings" of the
Nations are the True God
by Sandy Simpson
This booklet is taken from this
article!
I have some questions for those of
the World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People
(WCGIP) adherents such as Don Richardson,
Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss
(deceased), Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman,
Aloha KeAkua, YWAM as well as many
in the Emergent Church (EC) ... the questions
arise from their claim that the "supreme beings"
of the nations are all the True God, YHWH, the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You can read
more on this subject in our book "Idolatry In Their Hearts" or
in the WCGIP
section of my site.
My main
question for them is this: When did ANY of the
Patriarchs and Prophets in the Old Testament and
the Apostles or Jesus Christ in the New Testament
EVER claim that the "supreme beings" of the
nations were Elohim/YHWH,
the one True God? Let's look at some
examples in the form of questions and you can

Real
Revival
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Acts 3:19 Therefore repent
and return, so that your sins may be wiped
away, in order that times of refreshing
may come from the presence of the Lord;
There has been so much hype of
"revival" in our modern day that it is easy to
forget the true biblical criteria and definition
of revival. Revival cannot be brought about by
signs and wonders or "laying" on of hands to
transfer apostolic or prophetic "anointings". In
fact there is no such thing in the Bible.The
Biblical criterion for revival has, as a
precondition, repentance. The word "refreshing" is
also defined as "revive".

Occult
Practices in the Churches
How the occult has been
fully integrated into many Christian lives and
fellowships
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The Bible is quite clear about occult
practices.Neither Israel nor
the Church is to have anything to do with the way
the world tries to gain secret knowledge.The Gnostics were and are known
for promoting new revelation that is either loosely
tied to Scripture taken out ofcontext or not at all.The Israelites seeking information
from the dead or in omens were judged harshly by the
Lord who had warned them numerous times to stay away
from that stuff.
Yet due to the influences
of heretical teachers in the New Apostolic
Reformation, Word of Faith, Emergent Church, and the New Age many have been
successful in getting lots of churches and
denominations into occult practices that have been
thinly disguised as “Christian�?.Many
of those who follow these people, I’m sure, have no idea how far they have
strayed into the occult.
First I want to give the
dictionary definitions and then Biblical warnings
against these practices.Then I
will give examples in the churches taken mainly from
the ElijahList
e-newsletter.
List of Practices Detestable To
God
Deuteronomy 18:9-12
“When you enter the land which the Lord your God
gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the
detestable things of those nations. There shall
not be found among you anyone who makes his son or
his daughter pass through the fire, one who
uses divination, one who practices witchcraft,
or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or
one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who
calls up the dead. For whoever does these
things is detestable to the Lord;
and because of these detestable things the Lord your God will
drive them out before you.
Isaiah 8:19When they say to you, “Consult the
mediums and the spiritists
who whisper and mutter,�? should not a
peopleconsult their God?Should theyconsultthe dead on behalf
of the living?

and Isaiah, let’s take a look at each individual

New Important Book!
Dominionism!
How Unbiblical Action Can
Change The Churches
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp &
Sandy Simpson
Preface
By Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work
are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner
entitled “"Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change
The World". In contrast to this specious claim
we have titled this book “Dominionism! How
Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches�?.
We think that is far more in keeping with what we
will present in this series of articles and essays
on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already
been changed by accepting the false teachings that
constitute Dominionism. This started decades
ago under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain
theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic
Church (RCC). The attempt of Constantine to
protect Christians from being persecuted, since he
claimed he had become one of them, turned out to
begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It
wasn’t long before corrupt church officials began to
try to seize power all over Europe and beyond as the
“Holy Roman Empire�?. The Reformation itself
was a reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had
gone to take control over the Scriptures, the
nations, the kingdoms, and the people for financial
gain. They sold indulgences, promising those
who came up with enough money a much shorter time in
Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used
today on what has been loosely called “Christian
television�? by the sale of trinkets and promises of
healing, financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in
Dominionism. If it were true that the Church
needs to take over the planet, then we would be
seeing the unstoppable plans of God’s physical
Kingdom unfolding. But we do not. All we
see are failed prophecies, empty edicts and
declarations coming from false apostles and false
prophets. They love to fool Christians with
talk of the “kingdom�? when it is clear they are
talking about a different “kingdom�?; a Kingdom Now
not a Kingdom come. Jesus taught us to pray:
“Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven�?. The implication is that we are
to be about building His spiritual Kingdom while
praying for and expecting His physical Kingdom to
come. The only way we can do that is to
continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not
attempt to rule where God has not given the Church
the authority to rule. Jesus will do that when
He returns. If we go off on the tangent the
Dominionists want us to go, we will not only miss
out on the blessings of His Kingdom to come, but may
well be deserving of judgment.

Seeds, Soil & Fruit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Bad seeds from a bad tree yield bad
fruit.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is
the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of
the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil
one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil.
The harvest is the end of the age, and the
harvesters are angels.
Matthew 7:17 Likewise every
good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears
bad fruit.
Original sin is the bad seed in
everyone. We all start with a bad seed.
Jer. 17:9 The heart is
deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who
can understand it?
Rom. 3:23 for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as
sin entered the world through one man, and death
through sin, and in this way death came to all
men, because all sinned
We need to have the bad seed destroyed
and replaced with good seed.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong to
Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature
with its passions and desires.
Rom. 6:6 For we know that our
old self was crucified with him so that the body
of sin might be done away with, that we should
no longer be slaves to sin
1 Pet. 1:23 For you have been
born again, not of perishable seed, but of
imperishable, through the living and enduring
word of God.
The good seed is the Word, the Gospel.
Luke 8:11 "This is the meaning
of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
1 John 3:9 No one who is born
of God will continue to sin, because God's seed
remains in him; he cannot go on sinning,
because he has been born of God.
Bad seeds are from the enemy and are
full of false doctrine and a false gospel.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is
the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of
the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil
one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The

Will the Real Blasphemers
Please Stand Up?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This subject is one so serious that I
do it with great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless,
because I get so many e-mails accusing me and other
Bereans of blasphemy, among other serious charges, I
felt it was necessary to clear up some issues on
this topic. Because of my stand for the truth of
God's Word juxtaposed against all the false teaching
that is going on today, I think it is important to
do a quick study on what blasphemy is actually all
about from a biblical standpoint. There are
many references to blasphemy in the Bible and from
them we can find out how and why that term was used.
You will see that the word
"blasphemy" in the Scriptures is the very definition
of what the false teachers and false prophets are
doing today!

"Glitter Christians"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Glitter Christians.
This is a name I came up with for
people attending and teaching at Oral Roberts
University in the 70s. Even back then I had
come to realize that their way of representing
Christianity was not in line with the
Scriptures. At that time I didn’t know that
Oral Roberts was carrying on the Word of Faith
traditions of New Thought practitioners such as
Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Essex Kenyan,
Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuler, and many other
false teachers of the time. Though I didn’t
know anything about Word of Faith or New Thought
then I knew that the way they were representing
Christianity was just not right somehow. Their
desire to portray Christians as rich, beautiful,
healthy, perfect, and virtually sinless (holiness)
went directly against the example of Jesus, the
Apostles and the early church.

Bradford Pear Christianity

I was driving along and noticing that
spring has sprung here in North Carolina. One of the
first trees to bloom is the Bradford Pear. I began
to notice how that tree has proliferated almost
everywhere and then my wife looked up the
information on this tree on the web. As she began to
read the facts about this tree and its proliferation
I began to see an allegorical parallel to what is
going on in much of Christendom. But before I get
into what the Bradford Pear can show us about the
churches, I need to present the facts about the
tree.

also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from the evil
one."
This model
prayer that Jesus taught the disciples to pray
contains many important precepts. It should
probably be called "The Disciple's Prayer". It

The future of apologetics
and discernment ministries
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I admit that I
am very skeptical about the future of discernment
and apologetics ministries. I don't see the next
generation coming up to replace those who have stood
for the truth for so long. Fortunately many
apologists have gone to be with the Lord but who
will replace them? I don't see replacements coming
up who will take the place of those who have been
fighting the fight the years. I run a web site where
I collect articles and materials from all over the
world and present them in a sort of Reader's Digest
format so that people can come to one place to get
the latest information on heresies in the churches
as well as research past ones. What I've seen in the
last couple of years is that the production of
regular materials is declining to the point where
it's becoming difficult to find one article for my
site to post every day. Of course I write my own
articles but don't have enough time to write an
article on a daily basis. I am very concerned
because of the tsunami of false ideas from the enemy
in the churches. At the same time, unfortunately, I
see a lot of younger people who don't even recognize
anymore that something is wrong.

Church History & The
Core Doctrines
by Sandy Simpson
This 4-DVD set is a combination of a
condensed study on Church History and the Discernment
Toolkit series which deals with the core doctrines of
the Church and how to use them to discern error.
The Church History DVD takes a different approach to
Church History in that it does not celebrate the
Catholic Church but rather exposes it as false
Christianity. It covers World religions, false
Christianity and finally a study of the true remnant
Church through history following the story of the many
martyrs who stood up for true Biblical faith.

of hope for Christians who are downtrodden, and a
source of escalating heresy in many churches.It is
critical that we understand what Paul was talking
about when he wrote the phrase “weight of
glory�?.Jacob Prasch has repeated this phrase in
his teachings over the years … “A text, out of
context, in isolation from co-text is always a
pre-text."A huge problem today is that individuals
and movements tend to yank verses out of their
context and build a cult of heresy around
them.This is called eisegesis or plugging your own
ideas into the Scriptures instead of exegesis,
gaining understanding and interpretation of the
Bible by studying it in context and in the scope
of the whole written Word.

Did God Put "Eternity In
Their Hearts"
or "The World In Their
Hearts"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In the introduction to Mike
Oppenheimer's and my book "Idolatry In Thier
Hearts" I exposed the fact that Don Richardson
pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier Hearts" to
use as his book title from it's context in Ecc.
3:11. He did this to support his thesis,
which actually contradicts the second part of that
verse, where it states that man cannot fathom what
God has done. Richardson, rather, sets forth what
has become the foundation for the false teachings
of the WCGIP, YWAM, a number of Bible translation
societies and the Emerging Church ... the
propostion that men from Gentile cultures have
always been seeking God and that Gentile cultures
were already worshipping the true God before
missionaries came with the Gospel.
But as I further investigated this
verse I found that Richardson even ignored the
true meaning of the FIRST half of the verse in
favor of a few translations that use the phrase
"eternity in their hearts".

Christians who “turn
away�?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for
all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not
turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly,
saith the LORD. And the LORD said unto me, “The
backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than
treacherous Judah.�? (KJV) Israel had turned away
from the Lord and had gone after the gods of Canaan,
namely Baal and Asherah. Because
Israel had prostituted herself with false gods in
worshipping the polytheistic gods that started at
Babel, God had declared He was divorcing Israel and
would send them into exile until they again returned
to the true God. But Judah prided itself in doing
what God had commended as they had Jerusalem and the
Temple. They disdained Israel for setting up
altars to Baal and Asherah poles on high
hills. Yet God was not fooled by Judah’s
pretence. In the KJV it says they were not
worshipping God with their whole heart but
“feignedly�?.

Prophets for profit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do
not peddle the word of God for profit. On the
contrary, in Christ we speak before God with
sincerity, as those sent from God.
There are many false teachers on TV
these days who peddle the word of God for
profit. They make promises of healing that do
not come true by claiming if they are given a
financial gift the person will receive healing and
riches. When what they promised does not
happen the person is blamed that they did not have
enough faith. This often destroys the faith of
people who fall into the traps of these snake oil
salesmen. I have no problem with people
charging for their materials if they cost to be
produced, even though it is hoped that when a person
cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will
receive them free of charge. But the charges
levied on people for conferences and speaking
engagements is often excessive. A minister of
God can ask for support and deserves it if they are
being diligent in their study and proclamation of
the Word. But experiences and feelings often
come with a price today and that is not right.

"Mistake" or "Sin"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Today we often hear the word
"mistake" coming from pulpits, and especially in
defense of false teaching and false
prophesy. "Cut him some slack! He just
made some mistakes". "We all make mistakes,
so don't judge lest you be judged." We even
hear the word "mistakes" being substituted for the
word "sin" in many presentations of what I have
termed "Gospel Lite" today. So is it proper to
substitute the word "mistake" for the word
"sin"? We'll look at the problem of one word
"mistakenly" being used for the other.

Servant Authority
by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The world system has always been a
"top down" structure, starting at the apex of the
pyramid and going down to the bottom. In kingdoms we
have the king at the top, then the princes, common
people, slaves. In a democracy we have the President
at the top, the VP, the Sec. of State on down to the
citizens. In business we have the CEO at the top,
upper management, lower management, office workers
and the janitors. Unfortunately, sometime in
the third century, the church started to have a top
down structure. This is also when the church began
to be in error. The church of Rome began to have a
"top down" structure that started with the pope,
then cardinals, then bishops, then priests, then the
people. Well, what about that? Eph 4:11
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be
prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be
pastors and teachers, This all sounds like a
"top down" structure. But the problem is that people
have not seen an important fact about these gifts of
the Spirit -- man looks at function and title, God
looks at aim and goal! Read on. Eph.
4:12 to prepare God's people for works of
service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.
These are not gifts given for title or to give
people job descriptions. They are given because
there are people out there who need our help! The
church needed the Apostles. They were the ones who
were the foundation of the church. They were the
ones who saw Jesus in the flesh and were taught by
Him personally. They wrote the New Testament
Scriptures. Though the gifts of apostle and prophet
are different today than in biblical times, the gift
of evangelism, pastoring, teaching and others are
still the same. A person who is an evangelist does
not just have a title so he can rule over people.
The reason that he has the gift to be an evangelist
is so that he can tell others the good news. Why do
we have pastors? Are they supposed to rule the
church and get everyone to support them and bow to
their demands? No. They are to serve the church by
helping people to come to a fuller knowledge of
Jesus Christ, to equip the saints to become more
like Jesus every day.
The true structure of Christianity is
symbolized as an inverted pyramid!

Thessalonians 5:3-5 While they are saying,

Generic and Specific
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In my article �Blasphemizing
the
Bible� I give a number of examples of how a
lot of modern Bible translation societies are
putting the names of �supreme beings� in the Bible
in the place of God or YHWH. In this article I'm
going to examine two of the excuses they make for
making those substitutions in the Bible in many
hundreds of different languages today.
(1) They claim that God has many
different names and therefore they think they are
justified in putting the names of various gods of
various cultures in Bibles, as long as they are
considered �supreme beings�.
(2) The second excuse they give is
that the names of the �gods� they are placing in the
Bible are generic terms for God, like the words
�God�, �Theos�, �Dios� and �Elohim�. By generic I
mean a word that can be used for any deity whether
of the one true God or other false gods who claim to
be God.
I will go through both of these
excuses and show that they are both unbiblical,
therefore the Bibles they have translated with names
of other gods in them, or names they claim are
generic, prove that they have �blasphemized� those
Bibles.

The Ugly Side of Diaprax

There has been a concerted effort by
the false teachers from many movements inside the
church such as Word of Faith, New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR)/Latter Rain, World Gathering on
Indigenous People and Emerging Church among others
to diaprax people into thinking that the church has
been ineffective until they came along with their
new and improved ideas on how to take over the
world. This is always a feature of the
Hegelian Dialectical process put into action by
praxis, thus diaprax. In order to form a new
paradigm or worldview the leadership of these

Healer?
Heal Thyself!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
A good subtitle for this article
might be "Practice What You Preach!" There is
no doubt that God can and does heal people
today. But the false doctrines of the
Word-Faith Movement about "declaring" healing,
"name-it-and-claim-it", etc. have been proven to be
lies by the very people who sell this deceit.
If you don't know about where these famous "faith
healers" go when they need healing, you may be
surprised. Why couldn't they heal themselves
when they purported to be able to heal others by
virtue of their superior faith? What happened
to the extraordinary faith they claimed to have,
enough faith to heal and be healed? Since they
are the ones who taught that all you have to do is
claim the healing that is in the Atonement (Is.
53:5) why did they not do so? Don't their
deaths prove that what they were preaching was a lie
and pragmatic witchcraft rather than biblical
relality?

God�s Attitude toward the
�Supreme Beings� of the Nations
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
It is quite clear from Scripture that
YHWH does NOT consider the �supreme beings� of the
nations to be Himself, the One True God. This
is in opposition to the teachings of Don Richardson,
Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss and many others
promoting the World Christian Gathering of
Indigenous People movement, Emergent Church and
Liberal theologies. I have proven this time
and time again in my articles on the subject but I
am going to consolidate the information from the
Bible in this article by studying the false gods
named in the Bible. I am sure I will not be
able to cover every instance of supreme beings
mentioned in the Bible but I (1) want to deal with
some of the major ones (2) show you where they are
found in the Word, and (3) prove that they were the
�supreme beings� of those nations named by the
patriarchs, prophets and Apostles and that they were
not monotheistic gods but polytheistic in the
tradition of Babel where the false religion of
polytheism first took root through the worship of
Nimrod and Semiramis.

You need to "nip it in the
bud"!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am writing this article to
address a subject that I have often
observed. It is the fact that if you do not
get the leaven out of your church the leaven will
become the leadership.The Bible teaches quite
clearly that if you let the leaven in you will
leaven the whole lump.
Galatians 5:9 A little
leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.
We see this often in the
case of many �Christian� movements that have
allowed a small error to exist in their churches
and have not dealt with those issues. It
then ends up metastasizing into worse and worse
problems as time goes by.

The New Panentheistic "God"
Of Christendom
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Now, I bet you read the title of this
article and thought I had misspelled the word
"pantheism". Just so that those of you who
write to me advising me of words I have misspelled
in articles (and I do often) I want to tell you that
I am using the term "panentheism" as coined by Karl
C. F. Krause. You can read more about this
word and concept in an excellent book called "A Time Of
Departing" by Ray Yungen.
There is a new "God" being promoted
in the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
and Word of Faith movements whose teachers are
regularly seen on TBN, Daystar, SkyAngel, CBN and
other "Christian" TV networks. Some of those
teachers even have, what would be considered, a
fairly typical statement of faith or doctrinal
statement they endorse. But by what they teach
they end up promoting a false unbiblical view of
God, especially through their actions and
experiences. The whole phenomenon of "slain in
the spirit" and all the antics that go with it are
brainwashing an entire generation of Christians to
put their faith in another Jesus, another Spirit,
another Gospel. This new "Jesus" and "Holy
Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or panentheistic in
nature. Though some of these teachers would
claim to be believing in the God who is One God in
Three Persons, by what they teach they deny the very
revealed character of God from Scripture.

What Should I Say?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this booklet.
How do you answer an invitation to
attend a meeting where you know nothing about the
speaker or what will be done there? What happens if
they want to announce the meeting at your church and
invite everyone? What do you say to a person who
tells you that you don�t have the Holy Spirit even
though you are a Christian? What should you do if
you think something is wrong, or your conscience is
bothering you about something that was said or
done? The answer?
Go to the Scriptures!
The Bible has all the answers to your
questions. This little booklet is an attempt to deal
with a few of the typical statements you will hear
from people who have become involved in the Third
Wave revival movement. By �Third Wave� I am
referring to teachers, �prophets� and any meeting
associated with the Toronto �Blessing�, Brownsville
Assemblies of God, Rodney Howard-Browne, Benny Hinn,
Kenneth Copeland, Rod Parsley, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce
Meyers, Bethel Church, Lakeland and many others who
appear on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and the
700 Club on TV.
Hopefully the statements and answers
in this booklet will set you off on an investigation
of your own in the Word. If you need help, and you
have access to the Internet, you can visit my web
site called �Deception In The Church� that deals
with these issues and has the articles mentioned in

Luring People To Destruction
By The Unscrupulous Use Of
The "Gospel" Message
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Phil.
1:14-18 Because of my chains, most of
the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to
speak the word of God more courageously and
fearlessly. It is true that some preach Christ
out of envy and rivalry, but others out of
goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing
that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition,
not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up
trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does
it matter? The important thing is that in every way,
whether from false motives or true, Christ is
preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I
will continue to rejoice,
If you see what I see in this
passage, this argument cannot be used for people
like Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and the hundreds,
even thousands of Third Wave ministers today who are
not merely envious and self ambitious, but are also
teaching outright false doctrine. Paul was not
talking about heretics in this statement, but
"brothers in the Lord" who preach the Gospel with
wrong motives. Third Wave teachers not only have
wrong motives, they also have the wrong
message. This argument cannot be used for
people like Hinn, even if they manage to preach
enough of the "Gospel" for people to come to a
saving knowledge of the Lord, because they are also
teaching and practicing heresy.

Attack Of The Enemy
On The Churches
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So much heresy is entering the
churches these days. As you would suspect,
sometimes it is due to a pastor attending a
conference or reading a book and becoming diapraxed
with unbiblical ideas. He then starts to weave
those ideas into his messages and begins to invite
speakers to the church who expound on those
ideas. Then when confronted by someone in the
church who has reservations about the new stuff
being taught, they are told to not talk about it and
just go along with the program. If that person
does not they are ostracized, slander behind their
back, and often told to leave (which is what they
should do in any case).
But my observation is that it is not
only the pastor who causes unbiblical changes to
influence a church. Often the pastor is
blissfully unaware of influences coming into his
church. They often come in through (1) the
worship team (2) women�s groups (3) bookstore (4)
children�s programs (5) interdenominational prayer
efforts and (6) relief and mission
organizations. If unchecked this type of
infiltration is much more subtle and can become
deeply rooted.

Marks Of False Religion
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one
takes you captive through philosophy and empty
deception, according to the tradition of men,
according to the elementary principles of the world,
rather than according to Christ.
In context Paul is especially
addressing, though perhaps not to the exclusion of
other false religion, what had become the false
religion of the Pharisees and Jewish
leadership. There were many Jewish so-called
�Christians� making the rounds among the fledgling
early churches who were trying to get the Gentiles
to come under the Law from which Christ had
purchased their freedom. John Gill states this
case well in his commentary.

Universalism in the
World
has Permeated the Church
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The current fad of interfaith
solidarity and unity is simply a thin guise of
inclusivism, Universalism and pluralism.
Universalism is defined by
Dictionary.com as: The doctrine that emphasizes
the universal fatherhood of God and the final
salvation of all souls. (Source)
Universalism is a religion and theology that
generally holds all persons and creatures are
related to God or the divine and will be
reconciled to God. (Source)
Pluralism is defined as: The
doctrine that reality is composed of many ultimate
substances. � The belief that no single
explanatory system or view of reality can account
for all the phenomena of life. (American Heritage
Dictionary, (Source)
Inclusivism is: "Inclusivism
posits that even though the work of Christ is the
only means of salvation, it does not follow that
explicit knowledge of Christ is necessary in order
for one to be saved. In contrast to pluralism,
inclusivism agrees with exclusivism in affirming
the particularity of salvation in Jesus Christ.
But unlike exclusivism, inclusivism holds that an
implicit faith response to general revelation can
be salvific. God expects from man a response
proportional to the light given. Saving faith is
not characterized so much by its cognitive content
as it is by its reverent quality." (Ken Keathley,
None Dare Call It Treason: Is an Inclusivist
a Paul Revere or a Benedict Arnold? (Ken Keathley,
Assistant Professor of Theology and Philosophy New
Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, (Source)
We deal with these old heresies
brought forward to modernity, these ideas that all
men have have a relationship with God that will
cause them to be able to avoid judgement in our
book on the teachings of the World Gathering on
Indigenous People movement called �Idolatry In Their
Hearts�. The idea that all men who
worship a �god� are worshipping the true God,
YHWH, has bubbled up to the very top of our
societies and religions, and even Christendoom,
and should sound a warning alarm to true Biblical
Christianity. Instead, as usual in our day,
most Christians are asleep at the wheel while
Universalists claim that you can pray to a �god�
like Allah and be praying to the true Trinue God,
YHWH. I also dealt with the fact that Allah is not
YHWH, both in our book and in the article �Is Allah The Same As YHWH?�.

What We Need Is A Reverse
Paradigm Shift!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I'm going to warn you now. I am
going to let you in on some information tonight that
is going to radically change your world view.
You are likely going to experience the beginnings of
a reverse paradigm shift and after tonight there
will be no way to go back the way you came.
You will be faced with choices that you may never
have known you had. You will be faced with a
new way of looking at things that is going to cause
you to rethink everything that is being taught in
the Emerging Latter Rain churches. It is going
to be radical because the basis for this message
doesn't come from Jesus Christ visiting my room last
night bodily, but from His holy written Word.
So buckle down your seat belts, you're likely in for
a bumpy ride!
Matt. 7:15-23
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in
sheep�s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious
wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do
people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from
thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good
fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree
cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear
good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good
fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus,
by their fruit you will recognize them. "Not
everyone who says to me, �Lord, Lord,� will enter
the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the
will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say
to me on that day, �Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out
demons and perform many miracles?� Then I will
tell them plainly, �I never knew you. Away from

False Teachers Revisited
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I often receive requests to present
updated false teachings and false prophecies by the
myriad of heretics out there. We do try to
keep up with all the latest. But I have to
remind people that those we have exposed as false on
our site have not repented of what they have already
done in the past, which is why they are still on our
site. So what they are doing now has no
relevance as to whether or not they are now to be
considered a true Biblical teacher. If and
when they repent, that is renounce their false
teachings and false prophecies, make restitution to
those they have deceived, and begin to teach sound
Biblical doctrine we will give you that
information. As of now NONE of the people we
have exposed have repented of their Latter Rain,
Word of Faith teachings, heretical practices or
their false prophecies. But in the interest of
helping you to respond to a person who inquires by
saying: "Those articles are old and you need newer
materials" well, here is some newer stuff you can
add to the pile. For you and me this really
makes no difference, but for those who are living in
deception perhaps it might demolish one of their
arguments against the truth.

Testing The Spirits
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Sometimes I really wonder why someone
who claims to be a Bible believing pastor, for
instance, refuses to listen to the truth. It
frankly boggles my mind. I don't know if it is
as a result of the postmodern paradigm or just that
they have no love of the truth left. I don't
know how that can happen in a truly regenerate
person. You would think that the Holy Spirit
would confirm the truth to them, first in their
conscience, and finally through the written
Word. But these days it is a miracle if it
gets that far. I don't know if their
conscience has been so seared that they don't hear
the Spirit or if they just don't want to know the
truth because then they would be responsible for
it. I know that I cannot know their motives or
the reasons why they reject truth and refuse to talk
about false teaching, but I do know one thing: we
are called as true believers to test the
spirits. We must do this even if the result is
not to our liking or befuddles us as to the reasons.
1 John 4:1 Dear
friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits to see whether they are from God, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Questions for Those Who
Claim the "Supreme Beings"
Of the Nations Are the True
God
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I have some questions for those of
the World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People
(WCGIP) adherents such as Don Richardson, Daniel
Kikawa, Richard Twiss (deceased), Terry LeBlanc,
Danny Lehman, Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM as well as many in
the Emergent Church (EC) ... the questions arise
from their claim that the "supreme beings" of the
nations are all the True God, YHWH, the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You can read more on
this subject in our book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" or in the WCGIP
section of my site. My main question for them is
this: When did ANY of the Patriarchs and Prophets in
the Old Testament and the Apostles or Jesus Christ
in the New Testament EVER claim that the "supreme
beings" of the nations were Elohim/YHWH, the one
True God? Let's look at some examples in the
form of questions and you can check out the source

and hundreds of e-mails per week, I have come to
realize, with time, that there is a terrible
problem in Christendom today. The problem stems
from an existential subjective view of the world
that has filtered into the church from secular
society, but also from the teachings of heretical
wolves who have taught an entire generation of
churchgoers completely unbiblical methods of
discernment or to get rid of any discernment
altogether.

We need a firm foundation to
weather the storm of false ideas
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and
said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God. (KJV)
Matthew 7:24 "Therefore everyone
who hears these words of Mine and acts on them,
may be compared to a wise man who built his house
on the rock.
How firm a foundation, ye saints of
the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His
excellent word!
© 1787 Joseph Funk & Robert
Keene
A house built on the rock will
stand. The Rock is God and in particular,
Jesus Christ. Therefore His written Word is
the teachings of the His Holy Spirit and a Rock we
can depend on. Anyone who wants to prove
anything theologically, historically, scientifically
or anything else needs to start with correct
information. If you start with a faulty
foundation, as you build your arguments, they begin
to fall apart because they are not supported in
God"s truth. If you want to build on a firm
foundation, you need to start the process by a
careful study of God"s Word in context of the verse
and according to the whole counsel of God"s
Word. The Bible is the best commentary on the
Bible.

Karma (by any other name)
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
According to Wikipedia:
"Karma means action, work or deed;
it also refers to the principle of causality where
intent and actions of an individual influence the
future of that individual. Good intent and
good deed contribute to good karma and future
happiness, while bad intent and bad deed
contribute to bad karma and future
suffering. Karma is closely associated with
the idea of rebirth in some schools of Asian
religions. In these schools, karma in the
present affects one's future in the current life,
as well as the nature and quality of future lives
- or, one's samsara. With origins in ancient
India, it is a key concept in Hinduism, Buddhism,
Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Ching Hai and
others."(emphasis mine)
Mirram-Webster defines it this way:
the force created by a person's
actions that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism
to determine what that person's next life will be
like: the force created by a person's actions that
some people believe causes good or bad things to
happen to that person
Given the definitions of "karma"
above, this same idea, usually without the
reincarnation aspect in Christian circles, has been
taught for decades in New Thought movements such as
the Positive Thinking/Positive Confession teachings
of Norman Vincent Peale & Robert
Schuller, the Word of Faith ideas of Essex
Kenyan, Kenneth
Hagin, Kenneth
Copeland and Benny
Hinn, the mixture of Eastern Mysticism and
Christianity by Korean false teachers such as the
"force of faith" Paul
Yongii
Cho, and newer renditions and fusions by
people like Joel
Osteen, Joseph
Prince, T.D.

who teaches karma on her WHO network), and others

His Name, The Only Name
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will
be king over the whole earth. On that day there
will be one LORD, and his name the only name.
The reason I wrote this
article based on Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of
how many so-called Christians, who are influential

Replacement Theology On
Steroids
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So, as you can see, the root of
this teaching is that Israel no longer holds the
distinction of being the tree from which the Root
of David (Jesus-Rev. 5:5, 22:16) came. They
are no longer the "natural branches" (Israel-Rom.
11:21) on to which Gentile Christianity (the wild
shoots-Rom. 11:17 or wild branches-Rom. 11:24) are
grafted in (Rom. 11:17-24). According to
Replacement Theology, Christianity has now become
its own branch apart from Israel (the natural
branch) that produced the Root and all the
promises of the Bible to Israel have been taken
away from them and given to the Gentile
Church. This is why you hear so many false
teachers taking verses out of context from the Old
Testament and willy-nilly applying them to the
Gentile Church. This methodology has been
going on for decades in liberal churches and has
been popularized by many false teachers on TV. But
the fact is that Replacement Theology is utter
false doctrine. It denies promises made to
Israel, some of which have already been fulfilled
and some which are yet to come to fruition. But
when you add the fact that the Inclusivist WCGIP
proponents are now saying that God planted
hundreds of different trees, cultures all over the
world, that are not connected to the natural
branch, tree and Root, you have what can only be
termed Replacement Theology on steroids!

Those Who Do Not Lead
Christians to Maturity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The Scriptural definition of maturity
is to learn to discern truth from error so that the
Christian will no longer be double minded, blown
about by every wind of teaching and by the schemes
of crafty people. But the problem today is
that so few Christian teachers are feeding their
flock's solid food. They are serving up milk
and, because of that, people are starving. Yet they
often don't even know they have been on a starvation
diet. Amos 8:11 "The days are coming,"
declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a
famine through the land - not a famine of
food or a thirst for water, but a famine of
hearing the words of the Lord."

"... and all liars"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Lying is a problem for all people
(Ps. 116:11). We are all sinners (Rom.
3:23). Those of us who are Christians are
"sinners saved by grace" (Eph. 2:8) indwelt by the
Holy Spirit in our "new self" (Col. 3:10). But we
still live in our "old self" which we must "put off"
(Eph. 4:20-25) by taking up our cross daily and
following Christ (Luke 9:23). The difference
between unbelievers and those who are truly born
again is that believers no longer "practice sin" (1
John 3:9, see my Bible study on 1 John!) They
have the indwelling Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:11) who
convicts them when they lie (John 16:8). True
believers then repent (1 John 1:9) and go on to
"practice righteousness" (1 John 2:29) with the
Lord's help. The unregenerate, the false
brothers, or those who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4,
Mark 4:17), practice lying. They practice a
lifestyle of lying because their consciences are
seared (1 Tim. 4:2) and the Holy Spirit, when
convicting them, cannot break through the hardness
of their unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb.
3:13).

Four Books That the Enemy
Has Used To Corrupt Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The four books that have changed the
church by giving an introduction to the false
teachings of the New Apostolic/Latter Rain (NAR),
the Emerging Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism
(EC), pragmatic Church Growth (CG) methodologies of
C. Peter Wagner, Robert Schuller and Peter Drucker,
and the teachings of the World Christian Gathering
on Indigenous People (WCGIP) are as follows:
Surprised by the Power of the Spirit
by Jack Deer, Celebration of Discipline by Richard
Foster, Purpose Driven Church by Rick Warren &
Etnerity In Their Hearts by Don Richardson.
These four books were widely
read by Christians from virtually every
denominational background before their ramifications
and the movements they would spawn were known.
They lay error alongside truth so were considered
not to be a threat to churches. Therefore
these books then became part of the consciousness of
many Christians and churches, thereby laying the
basis for the introduction of the modern day false
teachings of the NAR, EC, CG and WCGIP that have
become part of the landscape of Christendom
today.

Night Marchers and UFOs on
the Big Island
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
With the resurgence of the old
religion of Hawaii and the continual invocation of
Pelé and other "deities" for years in the secular
culture and even in churches with regards to
worshipping 'Io, is it any wonder that those
beings are beginning to manifest again? In a story
called "Night
Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in a YouTube video on
the same subject, eyewitnesses claim all kinds of
sightings that they think are the warriors,
ancestors and demi-gods of Hawaii coming
back. Interestingly the
first
book the Hawaiian Heritage site recommends
in its "Suggested Reading" list is "Perpetuated
in
Righteousness" by Daniel Kikawa that we
reviewed in our book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" by Sandy Simpson and Mike
Oppenheimer. Since Kikawa claims that 'Io is the
True God and one that the Hawaiians worshipped in
secret, we have to wonder if Kikawa also thinks
'Io is showing up in these night marches? Since
YWAM, Aloha Ke Akua and Hilo New Hope participated
in worshipping 'Io at the "edge of Hale-ma'uma'u
Crater" it sounds like they have all been inviting
the old "gods" to return to Hawaii.

"They Will Believe
The Lie"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am doing a Bible study right now on
what I would call "renewing our minds". It is
based on this verse:
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the
pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to
test and approve what God's will is - his good,
pleasing and perfect will.
The only way to renew our minds is to
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess our sins,
and be saved, then to study the written Word and
allow the indwelling Holy Spirit to teach us.
Our minds are corrupted by virtue of the sin nature
and what we have learned in life because our filters
are off. I gave an illustration of straining coconut
to make coconut milk. If you use a 1 inch
screen everything will pass through. Even if
you use a quarter inch screen you will get mostly
coconut meat in your milk. You have to use a
fine screen in order to separate the milk from the
leftover. Our filters are off and the first
thing God begins to do is correct our worldview,
because if your worldview is off you will not
understand God's reality. We need to learn to
see things from His perspective. This is why I
started this study by going back to an original
problem.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming
of the lawless one will be in accordance with how
Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of
power through signs and wonders that serve the
lie, and all the ways that wickedness
deceives those who are perishing. They perish
because they refused to love the truth and so be
saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful
delusion so that they will believe the lie
and so that all will be condemned who have not
believed the truth but have delighted in
wickedness.
This has always been an interesting
passage to me for a few different reasons.
What is "the lie" that is talked about here in verse
9 and 11? What are the ways that "wickedness
deceives those who are perishing" and how long has
this been going on or does this only begin to happen
at the coming of the lawless one? In what way
does "the lie" cause those who do not believe the
truth to "delight in wickedness"?

But it does have it's own distinctives that are

"Christians" Who Try To Poke
Holes In Sola Scriptura
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article: "Christians"
Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura
There are a number of the
leadership of the Emerging Church (EC) who do not
believe that the Bible is the highest authority
for the Christian faith. Most do not believe
that the Bible is inerrant in the original
manuscripts and many do not acknowledge that the
Bible is our highest revelation. Yet this is
a core doctrine over which true believers and
false brethren must separate. Those who try to
poke holes in Sola Scriptura make excuses like (1)
we need to reinterpret the Bible through the lens
of postmodern culture and religion (2) the Bible
never uses the words "Sola Scriptura" therefore it
is not a Biblical concept (3) there is new
revelation for the church through the Holy Spirit
apart from what is written and the precepts of the
Bible and (4) the Bible just doesn't address our
postmodern situation therefore we cannot rely on
it for the truth and answers for our problems
today. I will prove that all the above
arguments, and more, from EC leaders and others is
exactly what they are teaching. I will give
you quotes from their teachings, videos and books.
The postmodern church and its "movements" are
abandoning Sola Scriptura in their rush to be like
the Roman Catholic Church, which takes its
authority from a mix of Scripture and tradition.
"As a result the Church, to whom
the transmission and interpretation of Revelation
is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about
all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures
alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be
accepted and honored with EQUAL sentiments of
devotion and reverence." (Roman Catholic
Catechism, Given October 11, 1992, the thirtieth
anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican
Ecumenical Council, in the fourteenth year of my
Pontificate. Page 31).

The Question Of Dominion
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article: The
Question Of Dominion.
I am writing this article as an
apologetic against the Third Wave, Latter Rain,
Word of Faith and Reformed Theology teachings that
the Church is to rise up and take over the systems
of government, businesses and every other aspect
of life. "See, the problem is, is that Satan has
had too much of his way in our society because he
has a government! And the only way to
overthrow a government is with a government.
It won't happen otherwise. So therefore the
government of the church has to get into place in
the extended church just like we do have it very
well in place, we haven't reached our goal yet
..." (Transcript of C. Peter Wagner, Arise
Prophetic Conference, Gateway Church, San Jose,
CA, 10-10-2004) Wagner has substituted the
"government of the church" for the coming
government of Jesus Christ in the Millennial
Kingdom. Wagner is "Kingdom Now" while the
Bible teaches "Kingdom Come". What I wanted to do
with this article is put the issue of dominion to
rest by studying the definition the Bible gives to
dominion and ruling authority. When we look
at the subject we can easily ascertain what is
going on today and what God requires of the
Church.

Shepherd Or Hireling?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the
article: "Shepherd
Or
Hireling?"
The Bible lays out the definitions
of both an overseer (under shepherd) and a
hireling. John 10:11-13 I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:
and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the
sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an
hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
(KJV) 1 Tim. 3:1-3 Here is a
trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on
being an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now
the overseer must be above reproach, the husband
of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled,
respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given
to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not
quarrelsome, not a lover of money. (NIV)
Titus 1:7-13 Since an overseer is entrusted
with God's work, he must be blameless, not
overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to
drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest
gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves
what is good, who is self-controlled, upright,
holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the
trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that
he can encourage others by sound doctrine and
refute those who oppose it. For there are many
rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers,
especially those of the circumcision group. They
must be silenced, because they are ruining whole
households by teaching things they ought not to
teach - and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
Even one of their own prophets has said, "Cretans
are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons."
This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them
sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith.
(NIV) A hireling does not really care about being
a watchman, but is more concerned with protecting
his reputation, position and income. A true
watchman will guard the flock against wolves from
within (Acts 20:30) and without (Acts 20:29) no
matter the cost to his reputation, position or
income. Following is a little quiz you can take to
see if you are a true Biblical under shepherd as a
leader in your church, are becoming a hireling, or
are one now.

Testing Music In The
Church
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on these
articles: Testing
Music
In The Church, Testing
Music
In The Church-Part 2, and Worship
Song
Ratings.
Too many churches today are
allowing music to be used in their services that
is not glorifying to the Lord and can actually be
a hindrance to the teaching of sound doctrine.
Pastors and leaders should be using their
leadership role to test what is being played and
sung in their churches. Though some are quick to
test preaching and teaching from their pulpits,
many ignore the music being used in the same
services. This is a tragic mistake. Music is a
powerful medium. It is something that effects
deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven
fact that music often stays with a person far
longer than what is taught or preached. Songs roam
around in our heads, especially if the melody
appeals to us. What is often overlooked is the
serious impression music makes on people, and the
teaching they are getting over and over again as
they allow the song to repeat in their minds and
on their lips. Music teaches things much more
subtly yet sometimes far more effectively. That's
why the lyrical content of music in the church, as
well as its effect on the spiritual lives of those
who perform and listen, should be vigorously
examined by the leaders of the church. This
is a 2-DVD set.

Examine Yourselves &
Hold On!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the
articles "Examine
Yourself To See If You Are In The Faith" and "Hold On!"
2 Cor. 13:5 Examine
yourselves to see whether you are in the faith;
test yourselves.
Do you not realise that Christ
Jesus is in you - unless, of course, you fail the
test?
People who call themselves followers
of Christ or "Christians" and claim they are born
again must believe certain things. If they do
not then they fail the test of faith. They can
claim they are born again all they want and "once
saved, always saved" but if they fail the test of
faith there is no eternal security. Only God
knows who will be saved, from beginning to end,
because of His foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom.
8:29, 1 Pet. 1:2). God did not make an
arbitrary judgment about who would be saved and who
would not. His Spirit is given to those He
foreknew, when convicted of sin by His Holy Spirit,
would choose to believe and commit themselves to
Jesus Christ. We are not God and we do not
have His omniscience. Therefore, according to
Paul, we must be sure our belief system is in the
right place once our eyes have been opened to the
Truth. I am not saying we do not have
assurance of salvation, but our assurance comes not
only because of His Atonement and promises of
salvation but from our continuing in the Faith,
which is always the Biblical criteria. Those who
would be Bible teachers must teach according to the
whole counsel of God's Word. Let me be clear.
There is only one way to salvation.
That is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ
alone. I will deal with a few of those issues
following, but it is important to recognize that
being saved is not just a matter of believing that
Jesus lived, or that He was a man, or simply giving
mental ascent to His existence in whatever form.

"Blasphemizing" The Bible
by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am going to go over an article I
wrote back in 2006 in preparation for the book I
wrote with Mike Oppenheimer called 'Idolatry in
Their Hearts'. This book is an apologetic
against the false teachings of the World Christian
Gathering on Indigenous People movement, the
Emerging Church and the New Apostolic Reformation
which got their ideas from the book "Eternity in
Their Hearts" by Don Richardson. At the time
that book came out no one really saw the dangerous
ideas Richardson was promoting. All they would
have had to do was look at the two subtitles of that
book to understand the implications. The first
subtitle in the 1981 edition read: The Untold Story
of Christianity among Folk Religions of Ancient
People. Those who read this book found some
interesting cross-cultural ideas but apparently
missed the false premise of the book starting with
the subtitle. How could Christianity be "among folk
religions" where the Gospel had not been preached
(Rom. 10:14-15)? At that time Christians who read
the book were apparently satisfied that, though
there was some questionable material present, it
made for an interesting discussion on how to do
cross-cultural ministry. The subtitle it has today,
which was first published in 1984, is as follows:
Startling Evidence of Belief in the One True God in
Hundreds of Cultures Throughout the World.
This should have been a red flag for many Christians
but then, who reads subtitles? But how could
the "One True God" be known to Gentiles who did "not
know God".

Resources For Pastors
including
"Good English Bible
Translations"
by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I was talking with a pastor after a
Wednesday night service and he mentioned that I said
I had done an article comparing English Bible
translations. He called me up later and asked
me to come back and present the contents of that
article I sent out in about 2002 to my mailing list
for the Pacific Waves Newsletter which,
unfortunately, I can no longer afford to publish and
mail. However an archive of past issues of
that newsletter can be found here.
In that article I detailed a number of good and bad
resources for pastors including Bible translations,
concordances, commentaries, Bible dictionaries,
etc. I present an edited version of part of
that article on this DVD, particularly dealing with
English Translations of the Bible. Translation
is a very detailed endeavor and should only be
undertaken by those with a proper education in that
subject and a sound doctrinal background. I
read a few books on that subject and it helped me
understand the complexities involved. Hebrew
is a rich language so it is hard to distill one
Hebrew word down to one English word. Greek is
a very technical language and it is also not easy to
translate. This is why it is imperative to use
the good English translations out there for
comparison along with a good concordance and Bible
dictionary.

From Church To Emerging
Church DVD Series
by Sandy
Simpson
The issue of the Emerging Church and
it's introduction into many churches and mission
organizations has reached a critical point.
Many do not undersand what is being leavened into
churches by the EC leadership. Many would be
shocked to know their belief systems involve
Universalism, New Age, defense of postmodernism,
Interfaithism, and many other false doctrines.
In order to reach out to this generation the EC
leadership is proposing a whole new "map" to deal
with what they perceive is a lack of understanding
on the part of the churches on how to
communicate. EC proponants believe the
"scripture" for today is evolving and must change in
order to reach postmoderns.

Idolatry In Their Hearts
Landmark
Book!
by Sandy
Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer
Does having eternity in your heart
mean that you know God and are His child? Could
Gentile cultures understand the Gospel from the
stars? Did God create man's cultures? Has God always
been in the process of redeeming cultures from the
time of Babel by placing in them a true revelation
of Himself? Is there the worship of YHWH in all
cultures and religions through the names of supreme
beings? Have all cultures always had a way to
make things right between them and God? These
questions and many more are answered in this book
that addresses the false teachings of The New
Apostolic Reformation regarding missiological
methods as being carried out by many agencies
including the World Christian Gathering on
Indigenous People, YWAM, and many Bible societies.

Lessons In Forgiveness
Great Study!
by Sandy
Simpson
Through the
years I have been presented with many
opportunities to forgive. Sometimes the
situation was so severe that it took me some
time to forgive and start the process of healing
for myself, and eventually for others. I learned
that a Christian needs to forgive other people
even if they have not repented of their sins.
That can be really hard if we let it be hard.
But if we give our burdens over to the Lord, He
will carry them and that frees us up to treat
other people with love, compassion, and be in
the right frame of mind and heart to set them up
for reconciliation with Jesus Christ. That does
not mean we tolerate their sin. We simply
forgive them for what they have done to us,
whether perceived or real, and move on to
looking for ways to redeem them. We can then
present to them the "truth in love" even when we
have to rebuke them.

A
Different Gospel? by Sandy Simpson, 1997
Does the Brownsville,
Pensacola/Toronto "Blessing" phenomenon in Micronesia
square with Scripture?
Answering "Counterfeit"
Revival Leader, Rev. John Kilpatrick by
Sandy Simpson, 1997
"This is an article by Rev. John Kilpatrick of the
Brownsville Assembly of God, Pensacola, FL. It was a
letter in response to critics of what is going on at
his church. First, I will give you the full text of
his article. Then I will give you my side-by-side
answers to his questions and comments."
Kilpatrick's Deceitful
"Apology" To Hank Hanegraaff by Sandy
Simpson, 1997
Here is a perfect example of why no one should sit under
the teaching of this false prophet and liar. The
original text of the letter by Rev. John Kilpatrick of
Brownsville AOG that is offered as a public apology to
Hank Hanegraaff for cursing him and his ministry is
offered here with my comments as well as quotes from his
original message.
Another Story Is Exposed To The
Light by Sandy Simpson, 1997
"Another Veil Is Torn In Two" is an article about an
event that took place at a Toronto "Blessing" type
church in Houston that has been passed around since
October 1996. What I would like to do is quote from
the article and give you my comments in bold as we go
along. There are some factors involved in this "sign
and wonder" that make it very hard for me to believe
that this is a sign from God."
Unbiblical Doctrines,
Teachings and Phenomena of the Third Wave
Counterfeit Revival Movement compiled by
Sandy Simpson, 1997
A document compiled from a few sources to give
Christians a resource to cut through the issues involved
in the "counterfeit" revival. This paper includes a
short list of unbiblical doctrines, teachings and
phenomena observed and documented in the Toronto
"Blessing"/Pensocola "Outpouring" movement. Please refer
to the document called "Influence Links Of The Third
Wave Movement" for a more comprehensive list of the
heretical doctrines of the Third Wave. This paper also
features guiding principles on how to determine
unbiblical doctrines, whether or not we are to test and
judge as Christians, and practical guidelines on how to
counsel people who have had emotional, physical and
spiritual damage from this movement or have been
demonized as a result of being "slain in the spirit" or
at the "laying on of hands".
Scriptures That Confirm That
Christians Can Be Demonized by Sandy
Simpson, 1997
Many Bible references to Jews and Christians who were
demonized or warned of demonization. This supports the
theory that many of the manifestations evident in the
"counterfeit" revivals may well be of satanic
origin.
John Kilpatrick Of
Brownsville AOG, Pensacola, FL Is Now OFFICIALLY A
False Prophet!
by Sandy Simpson, 1997
July 4, 1997 has come and gone and
Hank Hanegraaff is still alive and his ministry is
doing fine. Here
is how Hanegraaff responded to this ugly false
prophesy. Brothers and sisters in Christ -- now is the
time to decide. For those of you attending Brownsville
"Outpouring" meetings in Pensacola ... are you going
to continue to willingly sit under the teaching and
prophesy of this man in this church or allow people
under your accountability to do so? Is the Assemblies
of God going to take scripturally appropriate action
in this matter? Here is their official response when
asked recently to comment on the Pensocola
"Outpouring" in a letter from Thomas E. Trask,
General Superintendant of the Assemblies Of God (this
letter is no longer available. It was orginally
located at: http://www.pentecostal-issues.org/journal/brownsville/general.htm)
Here is another
one in support of Brownsville from Trask. What
about the rest of the false teaching and prophesy of
this "counterfeit" revival movement? Check out my
compilation of quotes in an article called "By Your
Words" - Quotes From Third Wave Leaders" for just a
small dose of the false teaching from the leaders of
this movement. It's time to take a stand on this
matter, fellow Christians! Time to be counted. No more
wishy-washy "well, there are good and bad things in
this movement but it's basically good" or "I'd rather
see the devil and flesh manifested in church than
nothing discernable happening at all". This is not an
issue that can be "balanced" away by a good old
American sense of "fair play". We as Christians are to
hold to the objective truth of God's Word, or else we
cannot call ourselves Christians. It's time for the
true body of Christ to be heard on this matter. Where
is the outcry? Where is the indignation that this man
has dared to make false prophesies about the demise of
a fellow Christian and attribute them to a
conversation he had with God Almighty? Has the
Christian community been silenced in fear of being
labeled "mockers" by Steve Hill in his book "The God
Mockers" when, in fact, all Christians should hold to
and defend sound doctrine as did the Bereans when they
tested what was being taught to them? Where is the
disgust at the fact that Kilpatrick made a deceitful
apology denying that he prophesied and published it
all over the Internet? Where is the outrage that he
now continues to spread false stories in his church
about Hank Hanegraaff? Where is the ire of God's
people when this man dared to presume to order God
around by speaking false "proclamations" "into God's
ears"? What is your response, people of God? We had
better start cleaning house before thousands of
children and youth are exposed to the ugly
manifestations, deceitful testimonies, false teaching
and false prophesy of this "counterfeit" revival
movement!
Reinhard Bonnke - Prophesy
Of The False Prophet by Sandy Simpson, 1997
There is a possible, yet somewhat tenuous connection
between Lord Maitreya and the "counterfeit" revival. The
connection hinges on the following prophesy by
evangelist and healer, Reinhard Bonnke, who has been
doing crusades in Africa for quite some time. Bonnke was
the evangelist in Uhuru park in Nairobi who prophesied
on a Thursday, three days before Maitreya's appearance
in a Muslim Village, Kawangware, Nairobi, ... that God
had, on Thursday, informed him that the Nairobi Muslim
citizens would "experience the presence of Jesus and
great miracles on Saturday..." It is interesting
that Rodney Howard-Browne got his "anointing" from
Bonnke. Howard-Browne then laid hands on most of the
leaders of the current "counterfeit" revival. If this
chain is accurate, this casts a very disturbing light on
the reasons for all the mind numbing,
eastern-religion-type tactics of this movement. This may
indeed be part of an overall plan to seduce Christians
to receive the False Prophet when he declares
himself.
Maiterya's New Logo
Symbol by Sandy Simpson, 1997
This is purportatdly Maitreya's new logo. Here's the animated version.You will
notice that it can be seen as having 666 elements. The
basic six-pointed star is made up of two pyramids. On
each six point are six logos. The first seal is the
I-Ching/yin-yang as the center for a lotus flower with
an embedded swastika. This is the same as the center
seal. The second seal is a star of David of Israel. The
third seal is the cross of Christianity, the fourth seal
is the cresent moon of Islam with an I-Ching in the
middle of the star. The fifth seal is the nine-pointed
star of Baha'i. The sixth seal is allegedly the seal of
the "Elects" which is basically a star of David with a
rising sun embedded with a swastika. You will notice
that he I-Ching symbol itself is made up of six
elements. The lotus flower petal represents the seventh
level of "chakra" called the Soma/Sahasrara Chakra where
a person allegedly becomes one with the universe.
"The seventh trumpet is representative of the event
when the Aquarian experiences the Soma/Sahasrara
Chakra activation." On the day of declaration Maitreya
will likely announce himself with the blast of a "shofar",
the Jewish "Jubilee" trumpet, signaling the year of
Jubilee 2000. At the blast of this "shofar", all who
have been initiated into Kundalini-type
experiences and manifestations, such as Hindu
mystics, Tibetan monks, channelers, mediums, witches,
witch doctors, voodoo preists, satanists, transcendental
meditationists, "counterfeit" revivalists and many
others will have their highest "chakra", the
Soma/Sahasrara Chakra, "activated" and will hear Maitreya speaking to them in
unison in their minds. When they realize that people
from many religions are hearing the same thing, they
will assume that the "anointing" is on "all men" and
that Christ has returned to earth. This will unify them
together as the world church under Maitreya, the False
Prophet. This will likely usher in the
Tribulation.

"By Your
Words" - Quotes From Third Wave Leaders by
Sandy Simpson, 1997
Here is a list of quotes from leaders in the Third Wave
and "counterfeit" revival movements. This page will
provide you the documented evidence you need to
determine whether or not the people listed on this page
are teaching false doctrine and/or making false
prophesies. This is a dynamic document -- it will
continue to grow as new quotes are made and other
leaders added. So stop by and check this paper from time
to time for more quotes from Third Wave leaders. Don't
miss the new quotes on William Branham and Kathryn
Kuhlman, two of the key mentors who passed along their
"anointing" to the Third Wave "counterfeit" revival
movement.
Influence
Links
Of The Third Wave Movement by Sandy Simpson, 1997
This is a comprehensive look at the roots, branches and
fruit of the Third Wave movement. It traces the
heretical doctrines all the way back to gnosticism and
mystical eastern religions to churches, individuals and
movements within what is termed the "Third Wave" or
"counterfeit revival" movement. This is a work in
process, bringing together quotes and information from a
wide array of sources. Hopefully this will give the
reader a clearer picture of what the doctrines are that
are driving the Third Wave. It is a large document, so
you will have to wait for it to load!
1998
The
Battle of the Hinnites by Sandy Simpson,
1998
"The man of iniquity is about to be revealed. False
teachers like Benny Hinn are merely setting the stage
for the final apostasy that is coming. All the world's
religions will join together in the "anointing" that
is not of the Holy Spirit, and have one big
millennium party. The sad thing is that, over the
shoulder of the Third Wave, even while they are
fiddling their lives away, the rest of the world will
be crashing and burning in sin and doomed to ultimate
damnation."
Benny Hinn Claims "A Dead
Man Raised" In Ghana by Sandy Simpson,
1998
Here's an e-mail we recently received about Benny Hinn's
appearance in Ghana, where he claims a dead man was
raised from the dead. Upon closer inspection, it
never happened.
The Dangers Of The Alpha Course
by Sandy Simpson, 1998
"The Alpha Course, though teaching some truth, also
lays truth alongside error. The wooing of people
using the gospel message, only to later enslave them
in ritualism, works salvation, and occult
manifestations is one of the great deceptions of our
time. One of the cleverest ploys of the enemy in
our day is to allow "unprincipled" men to use the
salvation message as an enticment to unsuspecting and
untrained people, thereby enabling "the devil a
foothold" for fleshly manifestations and temptations
in their lives. The men who designed this course
are laying error alongside truth, introducing error
secretly ("pareisaxousinin" in Greek) the result of
which will ruin the faith of the believer in the
end. The Bible says of this process: "But there
were also false prophets among the people, just as
there will be false teachers among you. They will
secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying
the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift
destruction on themselves." (2 Pet. 2:1) Beware of the
Alpha Course!" Read this
article also by Chris Hand.
Ecumenism
- Where Do You Draw The Line? by Sandy Simpson, 1998
"This is a short essay to illustrate just how
unbiblical, subjective and relativistic Ecumenism
really is. Ecumenism starts innocently enough.
Is begins with a tolerant perspective of other
denominations. Then it moves on to cults.
Finally it ends in an acceptance of other religions,
evolving into what is called "Inter-Faith".
Pacific Revival Center - Wolves
Among The Flock by Sandy Simpson, 1998
"There is a church that is trying desperately to
ingratiate itself with the rest of the body of Christ
on Guam. This article is a warning that they are
hiding behind the fact that they "went out from us"
long ago (1 Jn. 2:19). The church is affiliated
with the UPCI (United Pentecostal Church
International). It has recently changed its name
to Pacific Revival Center. They have managed to
get their church prominently displayed in the Pacific
Daily News in the Lifestyle section, have advertised
"miracle" and "revival" meetings at which unseemly
pleas for money were made, and have started a
semi-regular "Worship & Praise" event that they
are inviting all churches on Guam to participate in."
Kenneth Copeland Leads
Believers In A Dangerous Prayer Of Salvation
by Sandy Simpson, 1998
"The Kenneth Copeland Ministries web site (would Paul
have named a ministry after himself?) has a page
called "A Prayer For Salvation And Baptism In The Holy
Spirit". This is a classic study on how
NOT to preach the gospel, which I will detail line for
line."
Youth
Alive Alert! by Sandy Simpson, 1998
An alert to churches, particularly in Micronesia, about
a group called Youth Alive that is a ministry of the A/G
and has close ties to the Third Wave church Brownsville
A/G. UPDATE! The Youth Alive N.S.W.
concert was held and there were no wierd manifestations,
at least not in the main auditorium! We praise the
Lord that our alert caused this Brownsville A/G
affiliated group to hold itself back from doing what
they intend to do sooner or later ... give a gnostic
fleshly "impartation" to our youth in Guam and
Micronesia. Our youth have been protected for the
time being. However, pastors and youth leaders
need to be aware that this is the introductory
show. Youth Alive clubs in schools and more events
are scheduled. The false doctrines of the Third
Wave out of Brownsville, Toronto, RHEMA, Rodney
Howard-Browne and Benny Hinn will manifest themselves
more fully as time goes by. Sound doctrine is not
important to people in the Third Wave. This is
because the Word is not their final authority.
Brownsville Revival School
Of Ministry - Occult Teachings & Practices
by Sandy Simpson, 1998
"Here is an e-mail of a first hand account of a phone
conversation with a teacher at the Brownsville "School
Of Ministry" regarding Brownsville's sale and use of
shofars in "spiritual warfare". If there are any
of you that still have any doubt that what is being
taught at Brownsville A/G is outright heresy and
occult in nature, this should put that issue to rest."
Rebuttal To The Defense Of
The Term "Christian Hedonism" by Sandy
Simpson, DITC, 1998
This is a paper about the term "Christian hedonism"
which author John Piper is trying to coin in books such
as "Desiring God" and "Future Grace". Though there
is no doubt good material in the books, there is a
danger here. This danger flows into the gnostic
revivals out of RHEMA, Toronto and Brownsville. I
believe these books and their message will be, and in
fact are being, taken the wrong way. The term
"Christian hedonism" is an oxymoron using the standard
dictionary definitions of both "Christianity" and
"hedonism". "The following is a summary of
John Piper's use of the term "Christian
hedonism". I will rebut each item as they appear
in his official defense of the term "Christian
hedonism".
Obedience
To God (Uzzah's Disobedience) by
Sandy Simpson, 1998
"The first obedience we should show is confessing our
sins, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ for our
salvation, and making Him the Lord of our life. The
second obedience is to serve Him the way He
wants us to serve Him. Worship without obedience is
futile. In fact it makes the Lord angry. Getting
excited and zealous for the Lord without obedience to
God by living in accordance with His law and the
doctrine of Scripture is futile and meaningless, and
in fact, dangerous. There's a famous hymn that says it
all: "When we walk with the Lord, in the light of His
Word, what a glory He sheds on our way! While we do
His good will, He abides with us still, and with all
who will trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there's
no other way, to be happy in Jesus. but to trust and
obey."
Jesus
Cares For All Your Needs by Sandy Simpson,
1998
One of the main things that Jesus is... is
compassionate. He cares for His people. He was
compassionate then and He is still compassionate
today. Jesus came and saw the needs of the people. So
He did two things. He met their physical need of
hunger for bread, and He also met their spiritual
hunger for the bread of life.
1999
Benny Hinn - A "New" Dark
"Anointing" by Sandy Simpson, 1999
"I have been receiving e-mails and watching Benny
Hinn for the last few nights on TV. This new
turn toward the "dark side" of the "force" with Benny
and his wife is revealing, disturbing, and saddening."
Pope John Paul II Receives The
Mark of "Aarti", A Prayer To The Hindu Goddess Durga
by Sandy Simpson, 1999
This is a photo of the pope receiving the mark of a
prayer "aarti" to the Hindu female godess Durga by a
professing Christian Hindu woman. By the time this
photo was taken, however, the pope had already been
involved in a number of pagan rituals on his trip to
India in 1986, including taking the mark of Shiva.
Here is the documented quote: "Still at Madras on
February 5, 1986, 'A sugarcane, fashioned into the
form of a cross, signifying a Hindu offering to a
carnal god, was brought into the presence of the Pope.
A little later, during the offertory procession, a
coconut was carried to the altar, a typical Hindu
offering, which they offer to their idols. Finally, a
man placed sacred ashes on his forehead. IT WAS NOT A
MATTER OF TILAC BUT OF SACRED ASHES OR VIBHUTI. (*164)
THREE DAYS EARLIER, ON FEBRUARY 2, HE HAD RECEIVED ON
HIS FOREHEAD THE TILAC OR TIKA, THE RED POWDERY PASTE
OF THE HINDUS, THE SIGN OF THE ADORERS OF SHIVA.
(*165) *164 ‘Msgr.’ Lefebvre, op.
cit. p.177. *165 La Croix of February 6, and 'I'
Express' of February 7/13, 1986, with photo."
The Catholic objections to this photo, and their
deceptive tactics to try to hide what the pope did on
the web, have unearthed even further evidence of the
interfaith dabbling with demons by the papacy.
The Cell Church Model - Alpha
Course Lite? by Sandy Simpson, 1999
"The cell group model out of Singapore is Alpha
Course Lite! It is simply another front for the
Third Wave, another way to seduce churches, looking
for a more personal approach, to be more like the
house churches of the first century ... and to subtly
introduce heresy. Remember the M.O. of false
teachers: 2 Pet. 2:1 But there were also false
prophets among the people, just as there will be false
teachers among you. They will secretly introduce
destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord
who bought them--bringing swift destruction on
themselves."
The Five Basic Doctrines
compiled and written by Sandy Simpson, 1999
A thorough examination of the five basic doctrines of
the Church and how they compare to the teachings of
other religions, cults and the Third Wave false

Jack
Deere's Doctrinal Confusion by Sandy
Simpson, 1999
"Thanks to mentors like
John Wimber, C. Peter Wagner, Chuck Kraft from Fuller
as well as Paul Cain and others, Jack Deere had his
orthodox view of theology systematically
dismantled. He then became instrumental in
introducing the Third Wave to millions of Christians
who trusted him because he had been a professor at
Dallas Theological Seminary through his books
"Surprised By The Power Of The Spirit" and "Surprised
By The Voice Of God." Though these books have
some precious truths in them, they also contain
heresy. That is how false teachers ply their
trade. They lay error alongside truth so that
the unsuspecting and undiscerning will not be able to
tell the difference between what is true and what is
not. Following are a few examples of just how
far away from orthodoxy Deere has gone."
Dear Saint, Don't Believe What They
Say! by Sandy Simpson, 1999
"The love of God will bring us through this life, not
our faith in the "force of faith", nor the words from
our lips. Kenneth Copeland teaches people to put
their faith in their words, in what their tongue
proclaims."
Everybody Walks Away With
Gold! by Sandy Simpson, 1999
Brownsville and Toronto have recently received a much
needed shot in the arm to revive their ailing
"revivals", but this time it is laced with gold!
"A "holy woman" from Brazil that shakes gold dust from
her hair and has oil appear on her skin? Where
is this woman from? Is she a Catholic or
Protestant? I guess it doesn't matter anymore,
folks. If she can exhibit this kind of magic,
then she must be truly "anointed"! Dreams of
Jesus giving flowers and out of body
experiences? Could there be any clearer evidence
that the New Age has completely taken over the Third
Wave "River"? These following stories are not
for the faint of heart, and not for baby
Christians. Always remember when reading or
viewing occult material that there is a real spiritual
deception at work and you can be deceived. These
"miracles" are nothing more than demonic
manifestations that have nothing whatsoever to do with
true biblical manifestations of the gifts of the
Spirit." Let's expose this ploy of the enemy for
what it is. With all the new talk in "The River"
about "cross-pollination"
between movements such as Toronto, Brownsville and Word
Faith, these gold "miracles" are nothing more than a
plot by the enemy to try to cement the "health and
wealth" gospel people with the "transferable
manifestation" Third Wavers. What better way to
bring these people together (as if they hadn't been from
the beginning!) than to have people get their dental
work changed into legal tender?
"Stigmata"
In A Kenneth Copeland Meeting by Sandy
Simpson, 1999
Is "stigmata" now being endorsed

Salvation Sold For A
Donation To TBN by Sandy Simpson, 1999
"The Balaam Network (TBN) has really been raking in
the cash lately. With The Omega Code movie in
the top ten of money making movies (thanks to
discerning Christians everywhere) and their regular
Praise-A-Thon, they are rolling in dough. So
much so that they can now afford to beam utter heresy,
like what you are about to read, to all of
China. I have been watching their fund raising
antics the last three nights. I never thought
they could top John Avanzini's "Jesus and the
disciples were rich", "one hundred fold return" and
"the widow's mite" (she "wonted" something) ploys, but
R.W. Shambach has just hit a new low. This
e-mail confirmed what viewers heard Shambach say the
other night raising funds for TBN. He has been
on solidly for the last three days."

Youth
Alive And Alpha Course Team Up by

"How lucky can we be? Now we not only have the
Alpha Course
produced by the Toronto "Blessing" and Youth
Alive, a program of the Assemblies Of God with
strong ties to Brownsville A/G and Awake America, but
now Youth
Alive is using a new course called "Youth
Alpha". This is really not a surprise, but it will
be to many young people who have no idea what they are
being "softened up" to. Youth
Alive and Alpha
Course, as well as this new Youth Alpha Course
are simply entry points to the counterfeit revival
'river'."

Jesus Christ Slated To
Star With Benny Hinn ... IN PERSON! by Sandy
Simpson, 4/00
"I received these e-mails confirming that Benny Hinn
has announced that Jesus Christ will appear bodily
in Hinn's crusades. This was "prophesied"
by Ruth Heflin, now famous for serving up gold teeth
and gold dust all over Christendumb (and I am not
misspelling that word!)."
Celebrate Jesus 2000?
by Sandy Simpson, 4/17/2000
"Hot on the heels of the Benny Hinn/Ruth Heflin
prophesy that Jesus will appear bodily in Hinn's
crusades and other Third Wave meetings comes the
following information ... For those of you who hang on
every word and action of your "anointed" Third Wave
leaders, this news may come as a shock. Did you
know that they have all decided to get together with
the Roman Catholic Church?"
Satanic Crosses ... A
Stamp Of Approval? by Sandy Simpson,
4/17/2000
"The items we will be discussing here, though, are
highly unlikely to be the product of any normal human
conspiracy. But we know from that Word that our
battle is not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities and powers (Eph. 6:12). It is
very curious to see satanic symbols popping up in some
very prominent places lately."

Luring People To Destruction
By The Unscrupulous Use Of The Gospel Message
by Sandy Simpson, 6/8/00
"I
already know that this article will be unpopular.
The idea that people can be seduced by the
unscrupulous use of the Gospel message may sound
heretical in and of itself. People like
Benny Hinn have been credited from time to time
with having preached the Gospel pretty straight
and people seem to be professing faith in
Christ. I have heard the argument from Phil. 1:14-18 used
over and over in this regard. Let me pose some questions
that will hopefully help you focus on this issue
before launching into my short thesis."

Testing Music In The Church
by Sandy Simpson, 10/00
"Music is a very powerful medium, perhaps even more
powerful in terms of what and how much a person
remembers than sermons. So it must be treated with the
same kind of discernment. We need to be very much
aware of the songs that are being used in the church."
Walking With God by
Sandy Simpson, Sermon Notes, 11/00
"What
would it be like if you have a friend but no
contact, no walking with him? (1) lose touch
(2) lose track - lose understanding (3) no longer
moving in the same direction (4) ultimately
friendship grows cold - lose friendship."
Healer? Heal Thyself!
by Sandy Simpson, 11/14/00
"A good subtitle for this article might be "Practice
What You Preach!" There is no doubt that God can
and does heal people today. But the false
doctrines of the Word-Faith Movement about "declaring"
healing, "name-it-and-claim-it", etc. have been proven
to be lies by the very people who sell this
deceit. If you don't know about where these
famous "faith healers" go when they need healing, you
may be surprised. Do the math. Be a
Berean. Learn to discern!"

The
Lord's Prayer, Our Prayer by
Sandy Simpson, 2000
But this
prayer is more than an outline. It is not
some thing we are to repeat mindlessly to get what
we want from God. It is a prayer that should
be at the very heart of our faith in the
Lord. We show our complete worship and
submission to our Father. We ask Him to meet
our needs. We don't just expect Him to
forgive us but we also forgive others. We
ask Him to protect and deliver us from the evil
one. We are completely dependant on Him for
everything.

Tommy Tenney's Background & Connections by
Sandy Simpson, DITC, 2/01
For those of you who have been duped into believing that
Tommy Tenney is a perfectly harmless believer by
Christian Book Distributors who just featured his books
and videos on the entire back cover of their latest
catalog (CBD 2/00), here's a little history lesson on
Tenney. First of all read up on his UPC roots (you know, the
guys who deny the Triunity of the Godhead and teach
baptismal regeneration!). For more info on UPC check
out
this article. Though Tommy left the UPC over
its legalism he has never flat out denied his UPC
anti-Trinitarian beliefs to our knowledge. Then peruse
the trumped up "broken pulpit in
Houston" story, and finish off looking at some
pictures
from a recent Pastors Conference 2000 at TACF with
John Arnott and others. I guess the "laughter"
movement isn't dead after all and Tenney is a "shoe"
in.

The New Powerless Gospel
by Sandy Simpson, Deception In The Church,
4/19/01
"I have been challenged lately to think again about
what the Gospel message is all about. This has
come as a result of hearing what I consider to be, at
the very least, "gospel lite" and at the most no
gospel at all being presented by a number of
neo-evangelicals, Third Wavers and outright
heretics. The interesting thing is that many
seem to be preaching the same message.
What is most intriguing is that false teachers like
Benny Hinn, ecumenicals, and even some preachers I
would consider to be orthodox in their theology are
preaching a "gospel" that is very similar. The
question is: Is this new gospel message really the
Gospel at all?"
Reinhard
Bonnke - Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind
by Sandy Simpson, DITC, 4/26/01
Reinhard Bonnke, a German evangelist who does a lot of
his preaching in the Two Thirds world, was recently

The Prayer Of Jabez &

5/01
"Do you want your rewards now or later? Would
you rather ask for abundance or wisdom? Did
Solomon ask for abundance or wisdom? Would you
rather lay up treasures in heaven or on earth?"
Biblical New
Testament Prayers by Sandy Simpson,
Deception In The Church, 5/7/01
"With all the talk about "praying the Jabez prayer"
making the rounds in so many churches, I thought it
was time to revisit a short section I wrote in a
booklet called "What
Should I Say". It talked about biblical
New Testament prayers. These are prayers that
the apostles and Christians prayed. Since Christ
and the apostles are our foundation, we ought to be
emulating what they prayed and not some guy who prayed
a prayer in the Old Testament that was never meant to
be a model prayer. If you are interested in a
model prayer then go to the Disciple's Prayer (most
often called the Lord's Prayer) in Matthew 6:9-13."

Will The Real Blasphemers
Please Stand Up? by Sandy Simpson, DITC,
6/6/01
"This subject is one so serious that I do it with
great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless, because I get
so many e-mails accusing me and other Bereans of
blasphemy, among other serious charges, I felt it was
necessary to clear up some issues on this topic.
Because of my stand for the truth of God's Word
juxtaposed against all the false teaching that is
going on today, I think it is important to do a quick
study on what blasphemy is actually all about from a
biblical standpoint. There are many references
to blasphemy in the Bible and from them we can find
out how and why that term was used."
Upgrade Your Old Hymns For The
New Paradigm! by Sandy Simpson, 9/01
"Time for a rewrite of the old hymns. In this
day and age of Third Wave revival movements and
Word-Faith dominion, the old hymns just aren't cutting
it anymore. Not only are they old fashioned
musically, but the lyrics are, for the most part,
particularly depressing. They talk of sin, death,
repentanace, the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole
host of other disgusting subjects. There are
also too many lyrics in them, frankly, which takes
away from the "worship" atmosphere. Repetitiveness is
what we need, not dead doctrinal concepts. The old
hymns are just too biblical. Give us a beat to move
our feet, not concepts to move our hearts and minds!"
The Message Of The Terrorist
Attacks On The U.S.? REPENT! by Sandy
Simpson, 9/14/01
"We all need to take a good long look at our
relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and

judge those inside the church, then God will have to
judge those outside (1 Cor. 5:13) and inside as well!"

Is Allah The Same As YHWH?
by Sandy Simpson, 9/16/01

Harry Potter Christians
by Sandy Simpson, 11/16/01
"With the release of the Harry Potter movie expecting
the largest revenue for any movie released to date and
the sales in the multiple millions of Harry Potter
series books, I think it's time to make some
comparisons. This article is not a review of the
Harry Potter movie or the book, and for that you can
find a number of articles that do a careful analysis
of the dangers of teaching our children that sorcery
is something that is good and desirable. For
Harry Potter books and movie reviews from a Christian
perspective, read the following articles.
This article, however, is about what I am terming
"Harry Potter Christians". Whether or not Third
Wavers approve of Harry Potter books and the movie,
they are living, practicing Harry Potters nonetheless.

Biblical Divine Healing

"There are basically five types of healing in the

Medicinal/Medical, Psychological, and
Paranormal/Demonic healing. This paper is an
attempt to study these various types of healings, to
identify their characteristics, to show their biblical
support, and then to make comparisons with some of the
healing claims of televangelists like Benny Hinn and
others."

heretical theology. How can we effectively bring the
gospel if that gospel is tainted by the world, the flesh
and the devil. We as Christians must stand firm in the
faith once for all delivered to the saints. We must not
get involved in ecumenical movements that look like the
world, act like the world, and instead of bringing the
Word to the world are bringing the world to the
world." Go here

"If

general advice is to turn off TBN, get into the

for people in your sphere of influence who may be
falling into the Third Wave, and reach out to them
to pull them from the fire. Stand firm in

by Sandy Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer, ACT & Let
Us Reason Ministries, 3/27/03
This open letter details facts that the NAE membership
may have overlooked in their election of Haggard.
The letter shows Ted Haggard's promotion of ecumenical
unity between orthodox Pentecostals, charismatics, the
UPC cult, the Third Wave, and the Word-Faith
movement. It shows a false prophesy he just
made. It highlights his evangelistic methodology
and unbiblical spiritual warfare techniques. Most
importantly, it shows how this election fits in
perfectly with the plans of the International Coalition
of Apostles under C. Peter Wagner to take over
leadership in Christendom.
An Answer To Ted
Haggard - Response To Ted Haggard's Email
Rebuttal To Our Open Letter To The NAE
by Sandy Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer, ACT & Let
Us Reason Ministries, 4/23/03
This article is a response to an email we received
from Ted Haggard on April 7, 2003. Haggard was
responding to our Open
Letter To The NAE. Keep in mind that
Ted Haggard did not want us to use the word "official
response" but graciously gave us permission to use his
comments. The reason we asked if his email to us was
an official response to our open letter was because we
wanted to find out if he stood behind what he claimed
in his emails to us. We did this so that we would be
able to give a thoughtful response and not expect him

to be honest in our position and response.
Ted Haggard Quickly
Uses His New Presidency In The NAE - To Advance

seriousness of doctrinal issues regarding the
International Coalition Of Apostles (ICA) and the

The
Role Of Women In The Church by Sandy
Simpson, 7/03
If men were exercising true biblical authority over
their daughters and wives in love, the debate over the
role of women in the Church would not be such an issue.
If women today were submissive to their husbands, we
would not have many of the problems we have today in the
Church.

Benny Hinn's
Response To Dateline NBCby Sandy Simpson,
1/11/03
There is no need to go into the history of Benny Hinn
because he has been around what seems like forever and
has been investigated enough times so that most people
know quite a bit about him. An excellent
resource on the history of Benny Hinn is available
from Personal Freedom Outreach in a book called "The
Confusing World Of Benny Hinn". Hinn has been
investigated by two major secular news shows, and by
some Christian news media as well. Most recently
he was investigated by Dateline NBC in a show that
aired December 27, 2002. All of these shows
showed evidence that Benny Hinn has been scaming
people for their money with false healing claims that
he cannot prove. He was asked on all these shows
to provide medical proof of the miracles he and his
follower claim to be experiencing, but to date not one
shred of definitive evidence has been provided by the
ministry. Hinn did provide evidence, but when it
was investigated the claims turned out to be claims
without medical justification. Quite contrary to
Hinn's claims, a number of people have died who Hinn
proclaimed healed.
C&MA Endorses the Word of
Faith Movement by Sandy Simpson, 9/30/03
I have a great admiration for both A.B. Simpson and
Christian and Missionary Alliance for their work for
the Lord up to the present time. This is why I
am writing this article because I believe that
Jonathan Graf, Director of Prayer Mobilization for
C&MA is attempting to indoctrinate that
organization with false teachings from the Word-Faith
movement.

by Sandy Simpson, 2/9/04

than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of

The New "How To" Christianity -

The Profit-Driven
Church by Sandy Simpson, 3/5/04
The Purpose-Driven
Church, Purpose-Driven
Life and every other "purpose-driven" program
that Rick Warren of Saddleback Church is selling to
the Christian masses at the moment has an underlying
agenda that is hardly highlighted by the Church or
Christians. The church growth strategies that seem to
work equally well for Christians, Mormons, Jews,
Catholics and any other religion1
have a solid "profit-driven" motive built into the
programs. If you meet the "felt needs" of
people, they will come. And when they come they bring
their checkbooks with them.
A Call For
Repentance! - a debrief on the "A Call For
Accountability" and "The Orlando Statement" which
was brought to consensus among Third Wave, New
Apostolic Reformation false apostles and false
prophets by Sandy Simpson,
3/9/04
A group of the International
Coalition of Apostles (ICA), which was organized by
"super apostle" C. Peter Wagner and other "apostles
and prophets" with the express goal of bringing the
entire apostate "Church" under their leadership,
recently agreed upon the following "A Call For
Accountability". It is laudable that they are
attempting to address unethical and immoral
practices in Third Wave churches under their
"authority", but you cannot address the symptom if
you don't deal with the root of the problem.
The root is the sin of apostasy from the
truth.

It's "Glory Dust"
And "Manna" In The Apostate Church by Sandy
Simpson, 3/30/04
Well, here we go again. On OpenHeaven.com we
find a report as of 1/15/03 of "Revival, Gold &
Manna". This report is backed up with no facts,
pictures, or documentation ... just more unverified
stories by those who want to entice others into their
"love feasts" (Jude 1:12). Let's look at some of
the "facts" of this report so we can dispel this
"myth" biblically and get back to reality.
Entertainment-style
Christianity vs. Interactive-style Christianity
by Sandy Simpson, 5/04
Today, in a majority of churches, we see the result
of the seeker-friendly, "purpose-driven", church
growth, Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation methods
and teachings and their product I am calling
"Entertainment-style Christianity" (EST). But
EST churches are not only missing out on the cutting
edge of true Christianity, but are heading down the
road to apostasy.
Let's Take A Look At
The "Judge Not" Argument For A Moment! by
Sandy Simpson, 6/3/04
It's very interesting to me how Christians are quick,
these days, to pull out the old "judge not lest you be
judged" excuse when they are angry at you for warning
people away from their favorite false teachers and
false prophets by name. They come down on those
who test the spirits (1 Jn. 4:1), discern truth from
error (Phil. 1:9-11, Prov. 3:21) and judge rightly
(Jn. 7:24) when those are ways in which God has told
us we ARE to judge. They use the "judge not"
ploy to make themselves look like they are
holier-than-thou and above the fray, and in so doing
they are already in violation of Matt. 7:1 because
they are judging those they say are being judgmental
hypocritically. But think about the ways in
which we all tend to judge in a whole variety of
unbiblical ways every day.
The
Overseer
- A Study In Titus 1:6-11 by Sandy
Simpson, 6/25/04
There once was a shepherd who loved his flock of
sheep. He fed them and watered them. He
bathed them and tended to their hurts. The only
trouble is he did not build a protected fence around
their home. He had a habit of going to sleep at
night leaving no one to guard them. They had
always been safe in the past, but one night wolves
came. In the morning when he woke up many of the
sheep were missing or dead. That day he built a
fence and made sure there was always someone there to
guard the sheep at night.
Francis Frangipane - Another
Good Example Of The False Latter Rain Teaching On
The Transferable Anointing by Sandy
Simpson, 6/30/04
Elijah List sends out heretical Latter Rain teachings
all over the world daily in their newsletters.
So it is no surprise to see Francis Frangipane, a long
time Latter Rain heretic, featured in their
newsletter. The Latter Rain teaches that there
is a transferable impartation of the "anointing" that
can be transferred "by" the laying on of hands "by"
the will of man, usually though slain in the
spirit. As I have written before, this is
heresy. This teaching denies the Triune nature of God,
that He is One sovereign God eternally existing in
three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. When
you claim you can transfer an impartation or anointing
of the Holy Spirit by human hands by the will of men,
you effectively deny both the Deity and personality of
the Holy Spirit. You deny the Deity by claiming
you have the power to transfer the Holy Spirit at
will, and you deny the person of the Holy Spirit by
treating Him like some kind of "force" or "power"
seperate from His person. These ideas are New
Age ideas wrapped up in a Christian wrapper.
Slain in the spirit and the transferable anointing are
nowhere taught or demonstrated by the Apostles,
prophets or Jesus Christ Himself.

Seeds, Soil &
Fruit by Sandy Simpson, 9/19/04
Some seeds have been genetically altered.
Something has been added to the seed to produce a
certain result. What has been added is
indoctrination, brainwashing, diaprax, false prophecy,
false apostolic edicts, false anointings. These
additives produce seeds that will, in turn, grow bad
trees, producing bad fruit, which in turn produce more
bad seeds as the process renews itself over and over
again.
The New Panentheistic "God"
Of Christendom by Sandy Simpson,
9/25/04
There is a new "God" being promoted in the Third
Wave, New Apostolic Reformation and Word of Faith
movements whose teachers are regularly seen on TBN,
Daystar, SkyAngel, CBN and other "Christian" TV
networks. Some of those teachers even have, what
would be considered, a fairly typical statement of
faith or doctrinal statement they endorse. But
by what they teach they end up promoting a false
unbiblical view of God, especially through their
actions and experiences. The whole phenomenon of
"slain in the spirit" and all the antics that go with
it are brainwashing an entire generation of Christians
to put their faith in another Jesus, another Spirit,
another Gospel. This new "Jesus" and "Holy
Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or panentheistic in
nature. Though some of these teachers would
claim to be believing in the God who is One God in
Three Persons, by what they teach they deny the very
revealed character of God from Scripture.
Synergy by Sandy
Simpson, 9/29/04
Synergy is a concept being adapted and taught today
as a major tenet of the Third Wave, New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR) movement. Dutch Sheets was one
of the first to introduce this concept to that
movement back in the National School of the Prophets -
Mobilizing the Prophetic Office Conference at Ted
Haggard's New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO on
May 12, 2002.
Richard Twiss Connections
by Sandy Simpson, 10/1/04
Richard Twiss is spreading the doctrines of the New
Apostolic Reformation and is endorsed by them.
He claims that the Great Spirit of the Indians is the
Holy Spirit of the Bible, and endorses ministries who
make this same claim. He endorses and promoted
books by people like Daniel Kikawa that present
information as fact when it is proven myth. He
continues to teach that the Great Spirit is the Holy
Spirit by wearing the cultural items associated with
the Great Spirit, even though it is a historical fact
that the Great Spirit is a pantheistic god that
required blood rituals and human sacrifice.
Richard Twiss claims that what he is doing is not
syncretism, when it is the very definition of
syncretism.
Jack Deere's View On
Prophecy by Sandy Simpson, 10/2/04
Jack Deere's understanding of the gift of prophecy
reflects the twisted teachings of the New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR) of which he has been a part since
the days of John Wimber, Paul Cain and C. Peter Wagner
in the early formation of the Vineyard and Toronto
Blessing movements.
False Prophecies Of
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) by Sandy
Simpson, 10/03/04
There is so much false prophecy in the NAR that it I
could do an entire web site devoted to that issue
alone. If you want to see the daily parade of
false prophecies emanating from the NAR, subscribe to
the Elijah List. It means nothing to these false
apostles and false prophets to say things in the name
of the Lord that not only do not come to pass, but
would never come to pass because they are unbiblical
and ridiculous.

False Apostles! - The
False Apostles Of the New Apostolic Reformation
(NAR) by Sandy Simpson,
10/13/04
The NAR proponants claim to be foundational Apostles
to the modern church. This claim is exactly what
Paul warned the Church about regarding false
apostles. False apostles are identified as those
who claim they are equal with the the foundational
Apostles. The NAR proponants go even further.
They claim to be GREATER than the
original Apostles.

True Vine, True
Fruit -- False Vine, False Fruit by Sandy
Simpson, 2/2/05
There is one true Vine, that is Jesus Christ.
Those attached to this Vine, who have a connected
relationship to the Vine through obedience, will be
branches that bear true fruit.
Maturity Training
by Sandy Simpson, 01/05
At the core of maturity in Christ is
the issue of training to be able to distinguish
between good and evil, right and wrong. But in
today’s churches this issue has not only
been downplayed, but actually swept aside.
Unity
Of The Faith & Maturity by Sandy
Simpson, 02/05
Those who are mature in Christ are
those who are reaching unity in the Faith and in the
knowledge of the Son of God. Those who are not
mature strive for ecumenical or interfaith unity
thinking that they are growing in the Lord, and it
is usually a point of pride to them. But they have
mistaken what Paul was talking about. Unity in the
Faith is talking about coming to a common
understanding and practice of the core truths of the
Faith as taught to us in the Bible through Jesus
Christ and the Apostles.
Why do people have discernment about the FACT of
eggs, yet apparently so few have discernment about
the FACTS of the Bible?
There Are 3 Types Of Predictive
"Prophecy" That Can Come True Sometimes - There
Is Only 1 Type Of Predictive Prophecy That Comes
True All The Time!by Sandy Simpson,
3/05
Prophecy is a broad term. In
the Bible it is often defined as preaching,
teaching, exhorting, etc. Prophecy in modern
times has come to mean almost exclusively the
prediction of future events. But this is only
one aspect of prophecy as defined in the Word.
In many churches around the world
the concept of "worship" has been redefined and
narrowed to mean the time when Christians come
together to sing songs, raise their hands, dance
around, and get all excited about the Lord together
in church. For most of the younger
postmodernist relativistic generation the concept of
"worship" has become a thing you do once or twice a
week to absolve yourself of guilt. The more
you can work yourself into a state of bliss in
feeling like you are really achieving a state of
"worship" by letting yourself go in the music and
rhythm of the "worship" time, the more you can
justify what you are doing the rest of the week when
you are not "worshipping" God. This "worship"
then becomes an excuse and justification process
whereby Christians can rid themselves of the guilt
of not obeying the Lord in their lives. This
is not to say that true worship is not done in the
time now called "worship". It can be a time of
worship, but worship without obedience is no worship
at all.
There is a web site on the Internet, and there are
others, that attempt to vindicate Benny Hinn's false
prophecies, false teachings, necromancy and other
unbiblical things he is doing. Recently the
author of this site, the sister of Vinod K. Isaac,
initiated an email exchange with me. Vinod, her
brother, owns a computer outfit in Chicago called
"Jasmin Computers" and is apparently hosting her web
page on his computer site. Unlike most Christian
web sites, including ours, who are up front about who
we are, his sister has never revealed her name on her
site and there is no way to contact her other than an
email form. It wasn't until she wrote me,
claiming to be Benny Hinn by signing her emails "BH"
and using his name as her email address at bennyhinn2@yahoo.com
that I made the connection between her and her web
site. She accused me in her emails of not giving the
facts about Benny Hinn, in fact calling me a liar and
a deceiver. I cannot reprint her emails here because
it is a violation of ethics concerning private and
protected by copyright law. Those who wish to
reprint private emails are duty bound by common
copyright laws to ask permission of the author to do
so, which we do on our site. In response to her
invective and accusations, I sent her a number of
links to articles about Benny Hinn. Her
subsequent responses showed that she had not read the
articles I sent her. I then began to attach the
full length articles to her emails, which had grown to
a number of emails per day, hoping she might
accidentally see them. I gave her Hinn's false
prophecies. She just kept coming back with
rhetoric about how I didn't know what I was talking
about. She indicated she would not read the
articles I sent. She finally told me she had decided
to put up a page trying to prove I was wrong with my
name on it, stating that I was a deceiver. So I
believe it is time to bring this to public
attention. I do not want to throw any traffic
her way because the DITC site has thousands of hits
per week. But I feel I do need to address her
ridiculous assertions and mishandling of Scripture to
try to defend a proven heretic and false prophet,
Benny Hinn. Following is a refutation of her "facts"
about what I have on my site, and about Hinn point by
point. This is not rocket science, folks.
What "BH2" has on this new web page, which is an
abbreviation of her email address and how we will
refer to her in the following, is quotes exactly from
her site in Red. My rebuttal is in Blue.
So here goes ...
Learn
To Love Jesus Christ! by Sandy Simpson,
March 2005
Is learning to love yourself really
what people need to learn? Is this how a
Christian should accurately explain the human
condition? Is the problem with people that
they don't love themselves enough or that they only
love themselves? Is loving yourself the answer
to your needs in life? After reading Rick Warren's
first contract column called "Learn To Love
Yourself!" for Ladies Home Journal (LHJ), it struck
me that it is a perfect example of why churches
should definitely NOT be using his materials.
What We Need Is A Reverse Paradigm
Shift! by Sandy Simpson, 3/30/05
I'm going to warn you now. I
am going to let you in on some information tonight
that is going to radically change your world
view. You are likely going to experience the
beginnings of a reverse paradigm shift and after
tonight there will be no way to go back the way you
came. You will be faced with choices that you
may never have known you had. You will be
faced with a new way of looking at things that is
going to cause you to rethink everything that is
being taught in the Emerging Latter Rain
churches. It is going to be radical because
the basis for this message doesn't come from Jesus
Christ visiting my room last night bodily, but from
His holy written Word. So buckle down your
seat belts, you're likely in for a bumpy ride!
Should biblical Christian churches
be Christ-centered (Christocentric)? Should
the doctrines of the Father (Patriology) and the
Holy Spirit (Pnematology) also be equally
emphasized? Can a church be Patriocentric or
Pnemacentric and be biblical?

Smack Dab In The Middle Of
The Apostasy
"Evangelicals" Fawn Over The
Pope At His Death by Sandy Simpson,
4/7/05
The Roman Catholic Church, headed by the popes, have
long taught against at least two of the "central
doctrines of the Christian Faith". That
"Evangelical" leaders would endorse the pope, glorify
him, say he is a saint, and laud him to the world is a
testament of just how far into apostasy the
Evangelical churches have fallen.
A Call To The

Unbiblical teachings by the

by Sandy Simpson, 5/7/05
Two stories to illustrate and correct the false
teachings of "A Call To All Nations" speakers
including Don Richardson, John Dawson, Richard Twiss
and Daniel Kikawa with regard to there being worship
of the true God in hundreds of cultures from the
beginning.
Regarding The Accuracy
Of Oral Traditions - With Reference To Daniel
Kikawa's Book "Perpetuated In Righteousness"by
Sandy Simpson, 5/10/05
The accuracy of oral tradition is, in a word,
"inaccurate". God calls oral tradition "fables",
and I dare say that if we were able to trace back most
oral traditions today, as God sees them from an
eternal perspective, we would see the mutations,
changes and fabrications involved in modern
mythology.
The Testimony Of Heneri
Opukaha'ia - regarding the state of religion and
society in Hawaii before the Gospel - A
Rebuttal To Daniel Kikawa's Book "Perpetuated In
Righteousness" by Sandy Simpson,
5/17/05
This article is a reminder of what Hawaii was like
before the Gospel was preached. This is the
account of a very important eyewitness. It is an
unfortunate fact that often, by the third generation
of Christians in any given area of the world,
important information has begun to be lost and
forgotten. This is clearly evident in the
writings of people like Daniel Kikawa. The stark
facts, of Hawaiian culture and religion before the
Gospel was preached in Hawaii, are made evident by the
testimony of a man without whom the peoples of Hawaii
would never have had the opportunity to hear the
Gospel message and would still be living in the sins
of their ancestors.
The Agenda & Teaching Of
The New Apostolic Reformation with forward
by Sandy Simpson, 5/23/05
I am posting the transcript of this conference in the
hope that those who want to know what is going on in
the churches across the world today will be able to
understand the agenda of the New Apostolic
Reformation. This agenda runs through thousands
of agencies and web sites. It is what is driving
the Transformations movement, the global prayer
movement, and thousands of other churches and
organizations. What Christians need to realize
is that they need to make a choice now. A
majority of Christian churches have already succumbed
to this Dominionist agenda foisted on the churches by
false apostles driven by false prophecies from false
prophets. Wagner is talking about the government
of the church, under the leadership of the new
foundational restored "apostles", OVERTHROWING the
governments of the world. A spirit is indeed saying
something to the churches, but since this is based on
false prophecy rather than the written Word, you can
begin to understand that this is not of the Holy
Spirit speaking. If this agenda that C. Peter
Wagner is proposing and is about to pull off is not
"the woman who rides the beast" I don't know what is!
The Responsibilities Of A
Good Shepherd by Sandy Simpson,
5/20/05
Those who are called to be servant under shepherds in
the body of Christ must take that responsibility
seriously. There are far too many who claim to
be called to servant leadership, but demonstrate
clearly that they are not qualified to be shepherds
according to God's criteria. We need to be
feeding the lambs and the sheep, bringing them to good
pasture lands and water, grooming and clipping them,
delivering new lambs, leading them and teaching them
to stay together, going off after the wandering lost
ones, and protecting the sheep in the field and in the
fold.
This video study series is taken from the Discernment
Toolkit book but includes a lot of footage of
false teachers and false prophets. It will help
you and/or your group learn how to test, discern and
judge teaching and prophecy that is out there today in
a very practical way. It covers the core
doctrines, how we can use them to test, and examples
on the DVD that can be paused for discussion.
This series also includes a teacher guide and links to
resources on the web. This 3-DVD series is
available now! Go here for ordering
details!
New Age/Eastern
Mysticism In The Churches by Sandy
Simpson, 9/18/05
Within my lifetime there has been a monumental change
in the churches. In the last few decades New Age
Eastern Mysticism and Gnosticism has entered a
majority of Christian churches. It entered very
slowly, like a frog in a pot. When the pot is slowly
brought to a boil with a live frog in the pot it has
been observed that he will not jump out because he
does not feel the changes in temperature until he is
boiled to death. The "slow boil" of New Age
brainwashing in the churches started a long time ago,
but even in the last 20 years or so the changes are
stark. None of the New Age practices I will mention
could be found in most churches at that time, and
would have been soundly dismissed as unbiblical and
heretical. Many will ask, "Where has the New Age
entered the churches?" All you have to do is think
about it a little and you will see that many churches
have adopted New Age teachings and ideas and
"Christianized" them, when none of them are biblical.
ADDENDUM to "An
Answer To Ted Haggard"by Sandy Simpson,
9/19/05
I do not want to belabor this issue, but in the
pursuit of truth I must update you on a few current
developments in this story. Please refer to the
original articles here: An Open Letter to the
National Association of Evangelicals - Re: The
Election of Ted Haggard as President of the NAE
by Sandy Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer, ACT & Let

Haggard - Response To Ted Haggard's Email Rebuttal
To Our Open Letter To The NAE by Sandy
Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer, ACT & Let Us
Reason Ministries, 4/23/03. Ted Haggard is apparently
still telling people he has no formal association with
the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and it's

Explain Or

by Sandy Simpson, 10/25/05
A proper balance of Biblical teaching, as

God's Word (good hermeneutics, exegesis) and to explain
away false teachings of any particular passage
(polemics and/or apologetics).

The Emerging/Emergent Church -
and their use of "diaprax"
by Sandy Simpson, 11/28/05
The concept of the Emerging Church, as advertised
worldwide in books, the web and on TV by the likes of
Brian Mclaren, Leonard Sweet, Richard Foster, Dan
Kimball, Rick Warren, Ken Blanchard and a whole host
of others, seeks to cater to the postmodern mindset
while using diaprax to achieve its goals. The
Hegelian Dialectic is used in concert with praxis
(known as “diaprax”) to brainwash
an entire generation into creating a new hybrid
Christianity. This new religion is full of Eastern
mysticism and Gnosticism, while systematically
redefining the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Apostles
and Prophets within a subjectivist, existentialist
worldview.

detailing the use of the Hegelian Dialectic and praxis
(diaprax) by New Apostolic and Emerging Church

Peter Popoff - Back To His

This infamous televangelist, in the past, was
found to be guilty of wearing an earpiece so that his
accomplices in his sound booth could feed him personal
information on people in his audience while he was
claiming to get personal messages directly from
God. This letter proves that, not only is he

An Endrun Around Rom. 1 And

Sandy Simpson, 3/4/06
Daniel Kikawa, formerly with YWAM and now with his

Lehmann, Director of YWAM Honolulu have repeatedly
pulled Romans 1 and Acts 17 from their contexts in
order to promote IPM ideology. I have yet to
hear them, or any other leader in the IPM for that
matter, teach these Scriptures in context.
Yanking Scriptures out of context is one of the first
marks of false teaching.

IPM False Teaching
About The Names Of God by Sandy Simpson,

Danny Lehmann, YWAM Director in Honolulu and pastor
at Calvary Chapel Komo Mai was on the Calvary Chapel
KLHT radio station again on Friday, June 23, 2006 with
another argument to try to shore up the false
doctrines that he and others of the IPM, including Don
Richardson, Richard Twiss, Daniel Kikawa, have been
teaching. Their claim is that God has many names
in many cultures and can be legitimately worshipped by
those names. Lehmann argues that the proof of
this idea comes from the fact that in the Bible God
has many "names".

people like Daniel Kikawa of Aloha Ke Akua, Richard
Twiss of Wiconi International, Terry LeBlanc of World
Vision Canada, and many other indigenous leaders.

With the recent rash (and I use

maximum saturation point. I just want to
address one statement that Warren made on Fox,
though I could go into his appearnaces and what he

this one statement is more than enough to illustrate
that Rick Warren is trying to change the world

Simpson, 10/1/06
I urge anyone reading this article to also read the
other articles in the WCGIP section of the DITC web
site. It will help you understand the width and
breadth of false teaching in this movement. This
article contains quotes from the last two WCGIP
events. What is amazing to me is that the word
"Gospel" and "evangelism" (or "evangelization ... two
different terms) are being used freely by the
leadership and participants of this movement when it
is clear they have little or no understanding of those
terms from a biblical standpoint. You cannot
claim you are reaching people with the Gospel while,
at the same time, teaching that God has been redeeming
the Gentile pagan nations (such as we all were)
through the stars, their cultures and their religions
long before the Gospel ever was preached. That
is a clear denial of the biblical statements that
Gentiles did not know God. Gentiles did not have
salvation, they were not worshipping God, nor did they
have hope before they heard the message of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, no matter what Terry LeBlanc, Richard
Twiss, Daniel Kikawa and his friends claim.

4/20/07
I received this email update from Youth Alive
Victoria. In a previous article I showed how Youth Alive
promoted the Third Wave in concerts
worldwide. I also showed how they
promote
the use of Alpha Course. Youth Alive
continues down the road to apostasy by promoting
"Purpose Driven Hip-Hop". This shows the
influence of Rick Warren's books in their
organization. IT also shows they very much
support YWAM
which is aa adherant and promoter of the New Apostolic Reformation.
It is my hope the parents will take this as a warning
and not send their kids to be infleunce by Youth

The Letter To
Laodicea Is A Warning To The TRUE Church Today
by Sandy Simpson, 4/30/07
Much has been made of this passage, using it to point
out what is happening today in the apostate churches
around the world. It is true that they believe
they are rich in spiritual things when they are very
poor. It can be applied in one sense to the Word of Faith
movement. It is true that the "River" movement
of Latter Rain teachings do think they are hot when
actually they are cold. But this letter to the end
times church of Laodicea is actually talking to
biblical Christians who are born again. The

The New
Prophets And Apostles and Superstition by
Sandy Simpson, 5/22/07
False prophets have always been known and identified
as using divination and augury to try to set dates for
certain events. The dates they set, though they
hold festivals to celebrate them, never produce the
results they predict. Their superstitious
behavior and their adherence to these mythologies are
one way to identify them as false prophets.
"River Flush USA" Event

The Wagners, Chuck Pierce, Jim & Faith Chosa, et

an occultic event called, "River Flush, USA" where
they used Native American and New Age shamanistic
techniques to conduct deliverance of the midwestern
and southern continental US's river systems, which
they claim are being used as a "vast network and
communications base for the 'prince of the power of
the air' and for the second heaven principalities to
legally link into the earth."
Dominionism: The New
Christian Fascism? - Is it ultimately that
different from Islamic Fascism?by
Sandy Simpson, 6/29/07
One of the lies those who follow heretics are
believing today is the lie of Dominionism. This
false theology gets believers to focus their attention
on what God has NOT ordained. Then they are
swept away in the pantheistic mysticism that has taken
up residence in many churches, relying on their
feelings to guide them. At that point they are
already following the enemy and don't even know
it. If they would search the Scriptures daily
they would know they are a tool of the enemy.
But rather than repent they continue down the path of
heresy, carrying out the ridiculous edicts of false
apostles, the false prophecies of self-proclaimed
"prophets", and passing along the fables false
teachers make up daily to tickle the ears of their
followers until their consciences are branded with a
hot iron and they can no longer discern truth from
error. At that point they have given in to
delusion. When God allowed Pharaoh many chances
to repent and he hardened his heart, God finally
hardened it for him. God will do the same when
He ultimately sends a great delusion on those who no
longer have a love of the truth. These deluded
ones will end up being the same Fascists as their
counterparts in Islam.
Pre Millennial And Post
Millennial Doctrines Do Not Mix by Sandy
Simpson, 7/13/07
Many Christians today (having allowed themselves to
be diapraxed by false teachers on TV, in books, in
seminars and on tape) have begun to accept a mixture
of Pre Mil and Post Mil doctrines. Many claim
they still hold to a Pre Trib Rapture (or another Pre
Mil scenario) and at the same time would claim that
Christians are in a great end times revival, that
"Transformation" is taking place all over the world,
and that our mandate is to retake dominion over the
whole world including its businesses, social agendas
and political arenas (a Post Mil scenario). But
what many "Christians" today do not realize is: the
mixture they have accepted is oxymoronic.

Universalism in the
World has Permeated the Church by Sandy
Simpson, 10/12/07
We deal with these old heresies brought forward to
modernity, these ideas that all men have have a
relationship with God that will cause them to be able
to avoid judgement in our book on the teachings of the
World Gathering on Indigenous People movement called
“Idolatry In Their Hearts”.
The idea that all men who worship a
“god” are worshipping the true
God, YHWH, has bubbled up to the very top of our
societies and religions, and even Christendoom, and
should sound a warning alarm to true Biblical
Christianity. Instead, as usual in our day, most
Christians are asleep at the wheel while Universalists
claim that you can pray to a “god”
like Allah and be praying to the true Trinue God,
YHWH. I also dealt with the fact that Allah is
not YHWH, both in our book and in the article
“Is Allah The Same As YHWH?”. Yet
just recently George Bush, a professing Christian, who
has obviously been led astray by false teachers and
his heretical counselors like T.D. Jakes and Ted
Haggard, came out with these statements in an
interview.
John Piper: Giving
"license for immorality" while claiming he is not?
by Sandy Simpson, 10/27/07
Not one word about Christians confessing or repenting
of sin in Gutsy Guilt by John Piper. Yes Christians
still sin (1 John 1:8). But the point in any true
biblical exegesis of this subject is that Christians
no longer practice sin (1 John 3:9) but rather
practice righteousness (1 John 3:7). Those practicing
sin better test themselves to see if they are in the
Faith (2 Cor. 13:5). We as believers have the
sacrifice of Christ for sin but we must still confess
our sins and He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (which
was spoken in reference to Christians) (1 John 1:9).
This article is a perfect example of what Jude calls
giving Christians a “license for
immorality” and illustrates why 5-Point
Calivinists are deceiving believers on issues like
continued sexual immorality.

scriptures and a false god.
LESSONS IN
FORGIVENESS
Through the years I have been
presented with many opportunities to forgive.
Sometimes the situation was so severe that it took
me some time to forgive and start the process of
healing for myself, and eventually for others. I
learned that a Christian needs to forgive other
people even if they have not repented of their
sins. That can be really hard if we let it be
hard. But if we give our burdens over to the Lord,
He will carry them and that frees us up to treat
other people with love, compassion, and be in the
right frame of mind and heart to set them up for
reconciliation with Jesus Christ. That does not
mean we tolerate their sin. We simply forgive them
for what they have done to us, whether perceived
or real, and move on to looking for ways to redeem
them. We can then present to them the
“truth in love” even when we
have to rebuke them.

The Gospel Entrusted
To The Saints by Sandy Simpson, March 31,
2008
We have a precious Gospel message to share with
others. It is the Good News that saved us and
brought us peace. We now have the hope of
eternal life with Christ when before we were hopeless
(Eph. 2:12). This new life should and will
motivate us to share that Good News with
everyone. But sometimes true saints lapse into a
lukewarmness of complacency (Rev. 3:16). I have
done that myself at times. It is time for the
remnant, those who have not joined the Apostasy, to
reach out to the world with the truth and love of the
Gospel message of Jesus Christ. But we must
adhere to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the
Apostles to be effective.

Is Anyone Else
Tired Of The Diaprax Of False Teachers ... Or Is It
Just Me? by Sandy Simpson, 6/2/08
The dialectic and praxis (diaprax) is being used by
most false teachers today as a main form of
commuication and teaching. In order to bring in
their grandiose unbiblical plans and get people to
follow them, they have to vilify the old. In
doing so, with more and more churches and Christians
following their schemes, they are actually destroying
the work of the Church and missions instead of helping
the situation. What was not a squeaky wheel is
now being oiled with the super glue of false
teaching. If the churches have been ineffective
and even some Biblical ones have been at times, then
Warren's ideas are not helping but will grind the
churches to a halt by focusing their attention on
social and political concenrs rather than the
Gospel. This is all part of the Dominionist
mandate, not part of our mandate as true Christians.
Sadly instead of the churches becoming more effective
we are witnessing the demise of the churches that
follow the leadership of people like Warren ... which
make Christ's words even more poignant and
heartrending: Lu 18:8 I tell you, he will see
that they get justice, and quickly. However, when
the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the
earth?
Why False Teachers

From Church
To Emerging Church
The issue of the Emerging Church and

do not undersand what is being leavened into churches
by the EC leadership. Many would be shocked to
know their belief systems involve Universalism, New
Age, defense of postmodernism, Interfaithism, and many
other false doctrines. In order to reach out to
this generation the EC leadership is proposing a whole
new "map" to deal with what they perceive is a lack of
understanding on the part of the churches on how to
communicate. EC proponants believe the
"scripture" for today is evolving and must change in
order to reach postmoderns. Go here for ordering details!

True Revival by
Sandy Simpson, 1/2/09
We have been treated to many years of counterfeit
revivals by way of Toronto,
Brownsville, Lakeland led
by many false teachers like John Arnott, John Kilpatrick,
Todd Bentley,
Benny Hinn, Rodney Howard-Browne,
C. Peter
Wagner, John
Wimber and hundreds of others. The Latter Rain ideas of
revival are not based on what the Bible teaches is
true revival at all. They teach that revival can
be staged and planned when brought to town by those
who carry a transferable anointing. I have dealt
with the issue of a transferable
anointing in a number of other articles proving
there is no such thing according to the Bible.
The Holy Spirit is the One who brings revival, not
according to the enthusiasm and orchestrations of man
... not by the will of men. Revival can only as
a result of true repentance and forgiveness.

Lest you think that the US and the rest of the world
are NOT headed for global governance, let me tell you
about one of a number of organizations promoting
Globalism and save the planet. The Zeitgeist
Movement has been sponsoring "ZDay" events since
2008. They have already sponsored "over 365
events in 63 nations so far." They teach that there is
no government but the earth.
The
Global Coherence Initiative by Sandy
Simpson, 3/17/09
On the heels of my discovery of The Zeitgeist Movement I
was alerted to another global movement called The
Global Coherence Initiative while listening to George
Nori (a radio show that is a laugh a minute though
intended to be serious). My first thought was:
you have to be "coherant" in order to understand that
this is the opposite of cohearnce ... it is
incoherence, incongruity ... nonsense. If those
who buy into these things would become
coherant they would learn a thing or two. Any
group of people who think that that science will be
able to "observe changes in the earth’s
magnetic field and test the hypothesis that the
earth’s field is affected by mass human
emotion, positive or negative" have got a collective
serious screw loose.
Testing Music In The
Church - Part 2 by Sandy Simpson,
3/18/09
For my previous article on testing music in the
churches, go here.
Since the first article I wrote on testing music in
the churches there have been developments in Christian
music that are even more alarming.
The Ugly Side Of
Diaprax by Sandy Simpson, 4/10/09
There has been a concerted effort by the false
teachers from many movements inside the church such as
Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)/Latter
Rain, World Gathering on Indigenous People and
Emerging Church among others to diaprax people into
thinking that the church has been ineffective until
they came along with their new and improved ideas on
how to take over the world. This is always a
feature of the Hegelian Dialectical process put into
action by praxis, thus diaprax. In order to form
a new paradigm or worldview the leadership of these
movements must villify orthodox Biblical
Christianity. Let's look at some of those
statements.
Updated! The Emerging Church
- Introducing Heresies by Sandy
Simpson, 4/20/09
But there were also false prophets among the people,
just as there will be false teachers among you. They
will secretly introduce destructive heresies,
even denying the sovereign Lord who bought
them—bringing swift destruction on
themselves. (2 Pet. 2:1)
"Emerging Theology"
Is An Oxymoron by Sandy Simpson,
5/8/09
There was no theology presented in this lecture, per
se. The overriding theme was that the EC wants
to help Christians "find God in the world" and for
them to "look like Jesus". Sounds good but what
does that mean? Does that mean going back to
Roman Catholic liturgy and the Eucharist which
Middendorf promotes? Does it mean incorporating
mystical and New Age practices into the
churches? Does that look like Jesus? I
think not.
"Christians" Who Try To
Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura by Sandy
Simpson, 5/18/09
There are a number of the leadership of the Emerging
Church (EC) who do not believe that the Bible is the
highest authority for the Christian faith. Most
do not believe that the Bible is inerrant in the
original manuscripts and many do not acknowledge that
the Bible is our highest revelation. Yet this is
a core doctrine over which true believers and false
brethren must separate.

False Teachers
... REVISITED! by Sandy Simpson. ACT,
9/03/09
I often receive requests to present updated false
teachings and false prophecies by the myriad of
heretics out there. We do try to keep up with
all the latest. But I have to remind people that
those we have exposed as false on our site have not
repented of what they have already done in the past,
which is why they are still on our site. So what
they are doing now has no relevance as to whether or
not they are now to be considered a true Biblical
teacher. If and when they repent, that is
renounce their false teachings and false prophecies,
make restitution to those they have deceived, and
begin to teach sound Biblical doctrine we will give
you that information. As of now NONE of the
people we have exposed have repented of their Latter
Rain, Word of Faith teachings, heretical practices or
their false prophecies. But in the interest of
helping you to respond to a person who inquires by
saying: "Those articles are old and you need newer
materials" well, here is some newer stuff you can add
to the pile. For you and me this really makes no
difference, but for those who are living in deception
perhaps it might demolish one of their arguments
against the truth. I will only deal with quotes from
2007 through 2009 in this article. I will not go
into detailed analysis of these newer quotes in order
to save space, but will present a short comment and
link you elsewhere for the detailed report, if there
is one.
The Intention
Experiment - Wrong intentions? by
Sandy Simpson, 9/23/09
The real purpose behind the Intention Experiment is
to fool people into thinking they are little gods, as
is the ascertion of Brown and Taggart, and to get them
there through introducing them to, what amounts to,
transcendental meditation and the Zeitgeist, the
spirit of the air, the devil (Eph. 2:2). It is
leading to the moment of the fruition of this idea,
when it has fully diapraxed enough people, when the
AntiChrist will use this to make is look like humanity
can get together and cause there to be peace on earth
through their thoughts. He will tell them that
they are all "gods" collectively, him being the best
manifestation of god, and they will believe him.
But then he will force people to worship him, thus
proving that he is possessed by the false god who fell
from heaven (Rev. 13:14-18).
Comments on the Rick
Warren LETTER/VIDEO STATEMENT TO UGANDAN CHURCH
LEADERS by Sandy Simpson, 12/11/09
Though some of the provisions of the
anti-homosexuality bill are unjust and should be
removed we have to understand that HIV/AIDS is a huge
problem there and is being propagated and spread by
homosexual behaviors as well as other methods.
Uganda is trying to find ways to protect their society
against this deadly sexual disease. Warren
states that we all have "the freedom to make moral
choices and our right to free expression are gifts
endowed by God.". This statement comes from his
erroneous teaching on "gifts". He has taught
repeatedly on this subject in his "Purpose" series and
often confuses natural gifts with spiritual
ones. Do we have the right to make choices that
cause others to die of AIDS? If the "free
expression" of homosexuality is a "gift endowed by
God" then why does God prohibit it in Scripture?
We are not just free to do anything we want as people
created by God. There are laws against murder,
and infecting others with HIV/AIDS should be
prosecuted just as any other act of murder is.
If you knowingly give someone poison and they die will
you not be tried for that crime? I have
often stated that false faith healers like Benny Hinn
ought to be indicted for claiming they have healed
people from AIDS when he has not even checked out to
see if it is true. If you don't believe me get
our video series on Benny Hinn and see for yourself:

Journey Into Wholeness
or Journey Into Worldliness? - A comment on "40 Days
of Reflection & Growth" (Spiritual Formation)
being taught at Trevecca Nazarene University by
Sandy Simpson, 12/15/09
The bottom line is that this EC type of questionnaire
gets the student to look within themselves for the
answer instead of to the written Word. This can
only lead to more confusion and will certainly not
lead to spiritual formation.

A Whole Lot Of
Wishful Thinking These Days
by Sandy Simpson, 2/5/10
In this article I want to detail a number of beliefs
people have these days that have no basis in
Scripture. I am going to roam all over the map,
so to speak, and try to give fairly short answers on a
number of topics and also give you useful links to
articles that will help you deal with any particular
issue. It is truly amazing how many false ideas
people cling to without giving a thought to what the
Bible has to say on the subject.
Discernment Is
Essential by Sandy Simpson, 8/29/10
I want to offer a concrete suggestion on how to stem
the tide of leaven coming into the churches. I
do this in light of criticism often leveled at
discernment ministries that they are only interesting
in criticizing. Though we as believers are to
use discernment and be critical of false teaching,
comparing everything to the ultimate authority in the
life of the believer, the written Word, you will find
that most discernment and apologetics ministries do a
very good job of offering both Biblical true teaching
and practical suggestions on how to implement
it. What I am going to suggest to you is
something some churches are doing but I would like to
see every church do ...
Does Daniel 10 really
support the teaching of territorial spirits and
spiritual mapping? by Sandy Simpson,
11/15/10
You cannot have the teaching of spiritual mapping
without the concept of territorial demons, and you
cannot have the idea of territorial demons without
Daniel 10. This is the "go to" story that those
who teach spiritual mapping always "go to". But
does this story really support the idea of territorial
spirits? The answer is no. If you read the
commentaries on this passage you will find that, up
until the mid seventeen hundreds, the commentators all
focused on the human aspect of this story. After that
the commentators began to adopt the idea that it is
focused on territorial spirits. As usual the
older commentators were correct. They did not
take a leap of interpretation but rather followed
generally accepted rules of hermeneutics.

Updated! Leonard Sweet Quotes
compiled by Sandy Simpson. 3/10
This is a page containing a number of quotes proving
Leonard Sweet, probably the leading spokesman
promoting Emergent Church, is a false teacher. I
will comment in blue about each quote. The issue
of Sweet being invited into many churches and
Christian universities to speak has become even direr
as recently he was invited
to
speak at a Calvary Chapel conference.
Jeremiah's Prayer
by Sandy Simpson, ACT, 4/26/10
I am writing this article as an encouragement to
those Christians who use discernment, especially the
discernment/apologetics ministries. This passage
was an encouragement to me so I would like to pass
along what the Lord showed me. Jeremiah's prayer
is reflected in our own prayers to the Lord when we
find ourselves under heavy attack from the enemy and
from his servants.
Are you an
under shepherd or hireling? by Sandy
Simpson, ACT, 5/9/10
The Bible lays out the definitions of both an
overseer (under shepherd) and a hireling. A hireling
does not really care about being a watchman, but is
more concerned with protecting his reputation,
position and income. A true watchman will guard
the flock against wolves from within (Acts 20:30) and
without (Acts 20:29) no matter the cost to his
reputation, position or income. This is a little quiz
you can take to see if you are a true Biblical under
shepherd as a leader in your church, are becoming a
hireling, or are one now.
On Emergent Church leaders
calling apologetics and discernment ministries
"Online Discernment Ministries" (ODM) by
Sandy Simpson, 5/14/10
It does not surprise me at all that prominent
Emergent Church (EC) leadership and others associated
with that movement would use name calling as a way to
try to shut up opposition to their false
teachings. This is typical for Christian
liberals. Rather than answer to what they have
been writing in their books and teaching on in public
for years, they resort to name calling. The term
they are using lately is ODM meaning online
discernment ministries. They use that term in a
disparaging way but the term itself shows that they do
not know how to do research and are not interested in
the facts about many apologetics ministries.

How to be "unsaturated"
by Sandy Simpson, 9/24/10
I guess you think this is going to be an article
about cholesterol or saturated fat. No.
This is an article on how to get away from those who
use pantheistic terms for the work of the person of
the Holy Spirit and claim they can pass the Spirit to
you by the laying on of hands!
Regarding the
Pre-Trib Rapture argument that the Church is not
mentioned after Revelation 4:1 by Sandy
Simpson, 10/10/10
I am not going to start a debate on the whether
Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib, Pre-Wrath, Post-Trib or other
Premillennial Rapture scenarios are Biblically
correct. They all have a basis in
Scripture. Pre-Tribers, however, sometimes try
to come off as if they have a corner on the market of
truth. But one of their arguments for a Pre-Trib
rapture is not correct. I have heard the
argument time and again ... that a proof of a Pre-Trib
Rapture is that the "Church" is not mentioned after
Revelation 4, therefore proving that since the Church
is not mentioned the Church is no longer on earth.
Audio Added! The
New Indigenous "Christian" Religion by Sandy
Simpson, 10/23/10 - You can get the audio version of
this article here.
Nothing exemplifies the new indigenous "Christian"
movement of people like Richard Twiss, Daniel Kikawa,
Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM and other proponents so much as the
following statement on the home page of the Aloha Ka
Akua web site. As Indigenous people, we need to
embrace God as ours, and also know that God
embraces us as His. . . just as we are.
Our goal is to provide indigenous people, missionaries
and Christians with information, training and
materials that show the true nature of Jesus;that
his way is not to be a foreign religion that
destroys people groups and their cultures, but one
that brings people groups and their cultures to
their highest fulfillment. (Aloha Ke Akua, home
page as of 10/23/10,

Does Daniel 10 really
support the teaching of territorial spirits and
spiritual mapping? by Sandy Simpson,
11/15/10
You cannot have the teaching of spiritual mapping
without the concept of territorial demons, and you
cannot have the idea of territorial demons without
Daniel 10. This is the "go to" story that those
who teach spiritual mapping always "go to". But
does this story really support the idea of territorial
spirits? The answer is no. If you read the
commentaries on this passage you will find that, up
until the mid seventeen hundreds, the commentators all
focused on the human aspect of this story. After
that the commentators began to adopt the idea that it
is focused on territorial spirits. As usual the
older commentators were correct. They did not
take a leap of interpretation but rather followed
generally accepted rules of hermeneutics.
Is anybody else creeped
out by all this talk about Obama being "God"?
by Sandy Simpson, 11/21/10
Disregarding the fact that calling any man on earth
today "God" is blasphemy, this tactic by the liberal
media to continually attribute god-like qualities or
call Obama "God" or "Messiah" should make many people,
especially Christians, very uncomfortable. The
latest attempt at making Obama some kind of "god" was
in the latest Newsweek of November 22, 2010.
Harold Camping Strikes
(Out) Again! by Sandy Simpson, 12/5/10
Imagine my shock when I heard that Harold Camping was
up to his former tricks in predicting, using some kind
of fancy numerology, that Jesus Christ will return on
May 21, 2011. I quickly thought about how I
would cancel my plane reservations to speak at a
discernment conference. I mean, if Jesus is
coming back then there will no longer be a need to
expose false teachers because they will have met their
demise along with their leader. But then I
realized, Camping is himself a false teacher and so I
thought I would write this article to use on my
speaking trip since I will be talking about his second
failed prediction then.
The Emergent Church
Teaching On The Trinity "Loving Community"
by Sandy Simpson, 12/10/10
There is a fairly new teaching in the Emergent Church
(EC) on the Trinity as an example of a "loving
community" thereby giving evidence that anyone who
names the name of Christ is to be a loving community,
in unity with "humanity".

The Truth Behind The
Postmodern Emergent Church by Sandy Simpson,
1/7/11
I am quite familiar with what drives the younger
generation today because it was what I had to repent
of when I was a youth. So I know the desire to
try to justify yourself and what you are doing because
you want to be able to continue to do those things
while assuaging your conscience because so many others
are doing them along with you. I attempted some
of the same tactics when I had drifted away from the
Lord early in my life. But no amount of
jury-rigging the truth can change God's absolute
truth. The bottom line is that, as believers, we
either have to choose to follow the foolishness of men
or the wisdom of God. 1Co 3:19 For the
wisdom of this world is foolishness in
God’s sight. As it is written: "He catches
the wise in their craftiness"; {Job 5:13}
The Handkerchief
Phenomenon - Addendum To "A Whole Lot Of Wishful
Thinking These Days" by Sandy Simpson,
1/24/11
There is a new phenomenon especially among some
island churches where handkerchiefs are being handed
around a congregation claiming that they have an
anointing that can cause people to be healed and other
miraculous things happen to them. The
problem with this idea is especially evident in two
things: (1) that this can and is being considered by
many to be Christian magic and (2) that it is being
taught as being something that should be a normal part
of the Christian experience. It is taught that
if you have faith you will believe in touching the
handkerchief that you will be healed, freed from
demons, or get a special anointing.
Audio Added! Good Church Choices
by Sandy Simpson, 2003 - You can get the audio version
of this article here.
This page is some recommendations on how to find a
good church. What you need to find is a church
that not only has orthodox doctrinal statements but
teaches, both explicitly and implicitly, in line with
the core doctrines of the Faith. These are
Bible-believing Christ-centered churches that are
balanced in their theology. Be sure to test all
churches before you become involved. Here are
some tips for finding a good church.
"Examine yourselves to
see whether you are in the Faith" by Sandy
Simpson, ACT, 3/3/11
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether
you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you
not realise that Christ Jesus is in you—
unless, of course, you fail the test? People who
call themselves followers or Christ or "Christians" and
claim they are born again must believe certain
things. If they do not then they fail the test of
faith. They can claim they are born again all they
want and "once saved, always saved" but if they fail the
test of faith there is no eternal security. Only
God knows who will be saved, from beginning to end,
because of His foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom. 8:29,
1 Pet. 1:2). God did not make an arbitrary
judgment about who would be saved and who would
not. His Spirit is given to those He foreknew,
when convicted of sin by His Holy Spirit, would choose
to believe and commit themselves to Jesus Christ.
We are not God and we do not have His omniscience.
Therefore we must be sure our belief system is in the
right place once our eyes have been opened to the
Truth. I am not saying we do not have assurance of
salvation, but our assurance comes not only because of
His Atonement and promises of salvation but from our
continuing in the Faith, which is always the Biblical
criteria. Those who would teach must teach according to
the whole counsel of God's Word. Let me be clear. There
is only one way to salvation. That is by
grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. I
will deal with a few of those issues following, but it
is important to recognize that being saved is not just a
matter of believing that Jesus lived, or that He was a
man, or simply giving mental ascent to His existence in
whatever form. The Bible gives this as the only
criteria to be saved: Ac 16:31 31
And they said, Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and
thy house. (KJV)
Hold On! by Sandy
Simpson, 3/7/11
1 Tim. 4:1-2 But the Spirit explicitly says
that in later times some will fall away from the
faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and
doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of
liars seared in their own conscience as with a
branding iron ... (NASB) If we are to pay
attention and obey the written Word we must listen to
what the Holy Spirit says. It is not I who wrote
the above. I am simply reminding Christians that
in the end times some will fall away from the
Faith. Clear and simple. This is why the
Lord reminds those who claim to be His followers that
we need to hold on till the end. The word for "hold
on" is katecho meaning hold, hold fast, keep, possess,
stay, take, have, make. The Bible tells
believers to hold on and keep what they have till the
end. But what are we to hold on to?
Signs Of Apostasy In The
Church In The End Times by Sandy Simpson,
4/11
There are many signs of the great Apostasy, or
falling away (2 Thes. 2:3) indicating we are living in
the end times. Mike Oppenheimer presented a
number of things in his last sermon on what is going
on in the world at large to indicate that we are
living in the end times. Mt. 24: 3-14 As
Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the
disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said,
"when will this happen, and what will be the sign of
your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus
answered: "Watch out that no-one deceives you. For
many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am
the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will
hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that
you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the
end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and
earthquakes in various places. All these are the
beginning of birth-pains. "Then you will be handed
over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will
be hated by all nations because of me. At that time
many will turn away from the faith and will betray and
hate each other, and many false prophets will appear
and deceive many people. Because of the increase of
wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he
who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this
gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole
world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end
will come. (NIV) I am going to go through some
indications of the Apostasy in the churches as a
follow up to the signs of the times in the
world. I have told you about many false
prophets, false apostles, false teachers and false
Christs through the years. But who ever
thought that a president of the United States would be
considered by many to be the Messiah or God?
General Jerry Boykin and his
ties to The Knights of Malta and Rick Joyner
- Compiled by Sandy Simpson, 7/21/11
This paper exposes what General Boykin has been doing
in Calvary Chapels and his associations. He is
Grand Chancellor of the Vatican's Jesuitical "Knights
of Malta" (KOM swear fealty to the pope) and is
involved with Rick Joyner in MorningStar, which is
part of the New Apostolic Reformation. Joyner is
a member of the International Coalitions of Apostles
under C. Peter Wagner, and soon to be under Chuck
Pierce as Wagner is retiring. Joyner is a long
time false prophet who was a member of the original
Kansas City Prophets who brought the false anointing,
false prophecy and false apostleship through the
teachings of the Latter Rain into many churches.
Did God Put "Eternity In
Their Hearts" or "The World In Their Hearts"?
by Sandy Simpson, 8/4/11
In the introduction to Mike Oppenheimer's and my book
"Idolatry In Thier Hearts" I exposed the fact that Don
Richardson pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier
Hearts" to use as his book title from it's context in
Ecc. 3:11. He did this to support his thesis,
which actually contradicts the second part of that
verse, where it states that man cannot fathom what God
has done. Richardson, rather, sets forth what has
become the foundation for the false teachings of the
WCGIP, YWAM, a number of Bible translation societies
and the Emerging Church ... the propostion that all
men have always been seeking God and that all Gentile
cultures were already worshipping the true God before
missionaries came with the Gospel.
Heresy by Proxy
by Sherry Neese, 10/1/07
ACT Note: In light of the excuses being made by Calvary
Chapel pastors as to their engaging Gen. Jerry Boykin to
be the lead speaker at the How
To
Walk 2011 Conference at Calvary Chapel Honolulu,
even though he has been working with a documented false
teacher, false prophet, member of the International
Coallition of Apostles under C. Peter Wagner, and member
of the Knghts of Malta, Rick
Joyner, I am reprinting this article as a reminder
... you bring down the cause of Christ when you
associate with false teachers and false religionists.
Promoters of Dominionism such as Boykin and Joyner are
so far off the teachings and examples of the Bible that
it isn't even funny. There is no, I repeat, NO
evidence or teaching that we are to take over the world
now to advance the Kingdom of Christ. The only way
we can do help the coming Kingdom is to preach the
Gospel which will establish the Kingdom in the spirits
of men. Those who truly believe and are born again
are then promised to be rulers and judges in Christ's
physical Kingdom that will be established at His second
coming. Till then we have a job to do and those
who teach Dominionism are hurting the cause of
Christ. The early church did not try to
Christianize Rome (until the third century) and we are
not called to Christianize the world. We are to be
light and salt but we have absolutely NO mandate to "overthrow"
the
governments of this world as C. Peter Wager has
dictated from his fake position as a "foundational
apostle" in the modern church. The fact that
Calvary Chapel is now allowing this C. Peter Wagner
agenda to be promoted among it's attendees shows that
the apostasy is in full swing. They have been
warned repeatedly by a number of people by letter, face
to face, by phone, by emails and by many articles.
But since a certain group has responded in a belligerent
way every time they are warned it is time to warn people
away from those CC churches participating in this
deception that constitutes a falling away from true
biblical teaching. Guilt by association?
Yes, Calvary Chapel is now guilty of that and in fact is
guilty of guilt by cooperation.
A Response To "An Urgent
Message From Peter" by Sandy Simpson,
8/20/11
This is my response to the
email from C. Peter Wagner attempting to explain why
the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement is not
a cult. From my perspective he digs himself in
deeper by showing the lack of substantiation from
the Bible for what the NAR promotes. Following
you will find the full text of his email and my
comments.
A Tale Of Two Kingdoms
by Sandy Simpson, 8/31/11
Be careful of those who teach about a "kingdom" that
is not the same as what the Bible teaches. There are
two kingdoms being taught in many churches today.
Teaching about one of the kingdoms is on the decline
while the other is being promoted all over the
place. I am warning Christians that they need to
check out who is using the word "kingdom", the books
they have been reading and recommend on building "the
kingdom", the people they have been hanging out with
at conferences, and what they mean by "the kingdom".
Biblical Christians need to understand that many of
the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), Emergent Church,
Church Growth, Word of Faith and other related
movements are operating under a paradigm shift.
Because of that when they use the word "kingdom" they
do not have the same biblical concept of that word
that biblical Christians do. Whether purposely or
under the influence of the Zeitgeist, the "new breed"
paradigm shifters use the word "kingdom" in order to
lure people into their Dominionist/social gospel
worldview. They know that most Christians love
to hear about the "kingdom" so they act like they are
talking to them in the unity of the Faith. But
they are not. This is an old trick of the false
teachers and cults. They redefine certain words
so that when they talk to biblical Christians they can
sound like they are on the same page. For
instance, the New Age cult called "Unity" did this
years ago with many Christian terms and was able to
lure in some people on that basis. Once you lure them
in then you slowly brainwash them away from their
former understanding of those terms into a new
paradigm. The first concept is called Kingdom "Kingdom
Now (KN)" and the second we will call "Kingdom Come
(KC)". "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10). KN
claims this prayer is about Kingdom Now.
Biblical Christians understand this is referring to
the Kingdom being first established in the spirits of
born again believers (Col. 1:13) and finally
physically established in the Millennial Kingdom of

Defending
Apologetics by Sandy Simpson, 9/7/11 - You
can get the audio version of this article here.
Why is it that "Christian" leadership, when
documented as having taught false teachings or having
done unbiblical things publicly and then those things
are exposed publicly, have a conniption fit?
They berate those who want to warn them and others not
to teach falsely and want you to contact them
personally or want to have a private meeting to talk
about it. But then if you do contact them
personally or have a meeting all you meet with is
"attitude" and nothing gets changed. What is the
use of that? Why do people who may have been
true biblical teachers turned false teachers assume
they have the right to air what they do in public but
those who refute do not have the same rights?
Episode 43
- November 2011, Sandy Simpson: The New Apostolic
Reformation
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers,
disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
– 2Corinthians 11:13 Sandy Simpson, of the
Apologetics Coordination Team, joins me to discuss the
New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Sandy runs Deception
in the Church, an extensive library of resources on
the NAR and related movements and organizations. Sandy
does a fantastic job of describing in just an hour a
movement that really needs many hours to really
understand properly. It is my hope that this episode
will inspire people to dig deeper to learn more about
the New Apostolic Reformation and the unbiblical
practices that go on within the movement. Please check
out the show notes and visit the additional resources
section. The New Apostolic Reformation is a dangerous
movement that is carrying many Christians away from
orthodox, Biblical practices. This episode is
available to stream or download here.

A TALE OF TWO KINGDOMS
Kingdom Now
or Kingdom Come?
by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There are two kingdoms being taught
in many churches today. Teaching about one of the
kingdoms is on the decline while the other is being
promoted all over the place. I am warning
Christians that they need to check out who is using
the word "kingdom", the books they have been reading
and recommend on building "the kingdom", the people
they have been hanging out with at conferences, and
what they mean by "the kingdom".

Updated! "Blasphemizing"

view of recent developments with SIL and Wycliffe, I
thought it would be appropriate to remind you of what
has been happening for many years with a number of Bible
translation societies.
Audio Added! Do The Truths Of Ezekiel 13
Still Apply Today? by Sandy Simpson, 3/1/12
- You can get the audio version of this article here.
God is going to bring down the false global religion
that is already here consisting of ecumenism,
interfaithism and false teachings and prophecies of
all kinds, just as He promised to break down the
whitewashed wall the false prophets built up to
deceive Israel. God will ultimately protect both
His Church and those who actually belong to it who
have not been turned aside by myths and false
teachings. Do you think this chapter still applies or
is it ancient history? Let me illustrate how
these timeless truths apply just as much today as to
when God had repeatedly told Israel they were headed
for captivity if they listened to the counsel of false
prophets. God has warned us ahead of time that
we of the end times churches will see a falling away
and many will be deceived.
Resources For
Pastors by Sandy Simpson, 6/17/12
This article was originally written and published in
my Pacific Waves Newsletter Volume 2, Issue 1 - March
2002 sent out to hundreds of pastors and church
leaders in Micronesia. It contains recommended
resources as well as those that are not recommended.
"Blasphemizing" The Bible
by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am going to go over an article I
wrote back in 2006 in preparation for the book I
wrote with Mike Oppenheimer called
“Idolatry in Their
Hearts”. This book is an apologetic
against the false teachings of the World Christian
Gathering on Indigenous People movement, the
Emerging Church and the New Apostolic Reformation
which got their ideas from the book
“Eternity in Their Hearts” by
Don Richardson. At the time that book came out
no one really saw the dangerous ideas Richardson was
promoting. All they would have had to do was
look at the two subtitles of that book to understand
the implications. The first subtitle in the
1981 edition read: The Untold Story of Christianity
among Folk Religions of Ancient People. Those
who read this book found some interesting
cross-cultural ideas but apparently missed the false
premise of the book starting with the subtitle. How
could Christianity be “among folk
religions” where the Gospel had not been
preached (Rom. 10:14-15)? At that time Christians
who read the book were apparently satisfied that,
though there was some questionable material present,
it made for an interesting discussion on how to do
cross-cultural ministry. The subtitle it has today,
which was first published in 1984, is as follows:
Startling Evidence of Belief in the One True God in
Hundreds of Cultures Throughout the World.
This should have been a red flag for many Christians
but then, who reads subtitles? But how could
the “One True God” be known to
Gentiles who, the Bible states, did “not
know God”.

Resources
For Pastors
including
"Good
English Bible Translations"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I was talking with a pastor after a
Wednesday night service and he mentioned that I said
I had done an article comparing English Bible
translations. He called me up later and asked
me to come back and present the contents of that
article I sent out in about 2002 to my mailing list
for the Pacific Waves Newsletter which,
unfortunately, I can no longer afford to publish and
mail. However an archive of past issues of
that newsletter can be found here.
In that article I detailed a number of good and bad
resources for pastors including Bible translations,
concordances, commentaries, Bible dictionaries,
etc. I present an edited version of part of
that article on this DVD, particularly dealing with
English Translations of the Bible. Translation
is a very detailed endeavor and should only be
undertaken by those with a proper education in that
subject and a sound doctrinal background. I
read a few books on that subject and it helped me
understand the complexities involved. Hebrew
is a rich language so it is hard to distill one
Hebrew word down to one English word. Greek is
a very technical language and it is also not easy to
translate. This is why it is imperative to use
the good English translations out there for
comparison along with a good concordance and Bible
dictionary.

Examine
Yourselves & Hold On!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the
articles "Examine
Yourself To See If You Are In The Faith" and "Hold On!"
2 Cor. 13:5 Examine
yourselves to see whether you are in the faith;
test yourselves.
Do you not realise that Christ
Jesus is in you— unless, of course, you
fail the test?
People who call themselves followers
of Christ or "Christians" and claim they are born
again must believe certain things. If they do
not then they fail the test of faith. They can
claim they are born again all they want and "once
saved, always saved" but if they fail the test of
faith there is no eternal security. Only God
knows who will be saved, from beginning to end,
because of His foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom.
8:29, 1 Pet. 1:2). God did not make an
arbitrary judgment about who would be saved and who
would not. His Spirit is given to those He
foreknew, when convicted of sin by His Holy Spirit,
would choose to believe and commit themselves to
Jesus Christ. We are not God and we do not
have His omniscience. Therefore, according to
Paul, we must be sure our belief system is in the
right place once our eyes have been opened to the
Truth. I am not saying we do not have
assurance of salvation, but our assurance comes not
only because of His Atonement and promises of
salvation but from our continuing in the Faith,
which is always the Biblical criteria. Those who
would be Bible teachers must teach according to the
whole counsel of God's Word. Let me be clear.
There is only one way to salvation.
That is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ
alone. I will deal with a few of those issues
following, but it is important to recognize that
being saved is not just a matter of believing that
Jesus lived, or that He was a man, or simply giving
mental ascent to His existence in whatever form.

November 2012, Sandy Simpson: The New Apostolic
Reformation - Part 2
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
sheep’s clothing but inwardly are kravenous
wolves." - Matthew 7:15 A year ago, for
the
November 2011 episode, I interviewed Sandy
Simpson on the New Apostolic Reformation. Sandy heads
up the Apologetics
Coordination
Team, and runs Deception
in
the Church, an extensive library of resources on
the NAR and related movements and organizations. This
episode is a follow-up to our previous discussion. We
began with the assumption that those listening have
heard the first discussion we had. If you haven't,
that episode can be found here. We answer some
questions people had from that episode, get into some
further examination of the New Apostolic Reformation,
and try to keep from repeating what was already
covered as much as possible.

A Trip To Hell? by
Sandy Simpson, 11/8/12 - You can get the audio version
of this article here.
I am writing this article to expose yet another
“trip to hell” story making the
rounds on the web. There is a PowerPoint
presentation about it and people who get it are being
urged to forward it to ten more people. Before I
get into commenting on this story, which is quoted in
full from the PowerPoint, I need to help you
understand how to discern these types of
stories. One of the most important ways is to
compare what is said with what the Bible teaches, both
in the actual account of hell we have there as well as
comparing it to what the Bible teaches doctrinally and
about Jesus Christ. The full text of the
PowerPoint is in red while my comments are in
black.

Is anybody else creeped
out by all this talk about Obama being "God"?
by Sandy Simpson, 11/21/10
Disregarding the fact that calling any man on earth
today "God" is blasphemy, this tactic by the liberal
media to continually attribute god-like qualities or
call Obama "God" or "Messiah" should make many people,
especially Christians, very uncomfortable. The
latest attempt at making Obama some kind of "god" was
in the latest Newsweek of November 22,
2010. Check out the 2012 updates to

Was Not The Apocalypse! But When Is It? by
Sandy Simpson, 1/1/2013
When asked by a number of people if the Mayan
prediction was going to come true for the end of the
world to occur on 12/21/12 my answer was
“What makes you think the Mayans could
predict the end of the world if they could not even
predict their own demise?” Likely they
simply ran out of space in the scribbling of their
calendar on their cave walls. But is there any
reliable source of information about when the
Apocalypse will occur? Yes there is. The
Bible prophecies have been accurate all through
history so it is our only source of reliable prophecy
regarding the end times. If you want information
on how close we are to the end you need look no
further than what Jesus told His disciples when asked
that very question in Matthew 24.
The Question Of
Dominion by Sandy Simpson, 2/13/13
I am writing this article as an apologetic against
the Third Wave, Latter Rain, Word of Faith and
Reformed Theology teachings that the Church is to rise
up and take over the systems of government, businesses
and every other aspect of life. "See, the
problem is, is that Satan has had too much of his way
in our society because he has a government! And
the only way to overthrow a government is with a
government. It won’t happen
otherwise. So therefore the government of
the church has to get into place in the extended
church just like we do have it very well in place, we
haven’t reached our goal yet ..."
(Transcript of C. Peter Wagner, Arise Prophetic
Conference, Gateway Church, San Jose, CA,
10-10-2004) Wagner has substituted the
"government of the church" for the coming government
of Jesus Christ in the Millennial Kingdom.
Wagner is "Kingdom Now" while the Bible teaches
"Kingdom Come".
Testing Music In The Church

articles: Testing
Music
In The Church, Testing
Music
In The Church-Part 2, and Worship
Song
Ratings.
Too many churches today are
allowing music to be used in their services that
is not glorifying to the Lord and can actually be
a hindrance to the teaching of sound doctrine.
Pastors and leaders should be using their
leadership role to test what is being played and
sung in their churches. Though some are quick to
test preaching and teaching from their pulpits,
many ignore the music being used in the same
services. This is a tragic mistake. Music is a
powerful medium. It is something that effects
deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven
fact that music often stays with a person far
longer than what is taught or preached. Songs roam
around in our heads, especially if the melody
appeals to us. What is often overlooked is the
serious impression music makes on people, and the
teaching they are getting over and over again as
they allow the song to repeat in their minds and
on their lips. Music teaches things much more
subtly yet sometimes far more effectively. That's
why the lyrical content of music in the church, as
well as its effect on the spiritual lives of those
who perform and listen, should be vigorously
examined by the leaders of the church. This is a 2-DVD set.

Shepherd Or Hireling?
by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the
article: "Shepherd
Or
Hireling?"
The Bible lays out the definitions
of both an overseer (under shepherd) and a
hireling. John 10:11-13 I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:
and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the
sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an
hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
(KJV) 1 Tim. 3:1-3 Here is a
trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on
being an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now
the overseer must be above reproach, the husband
of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled,
respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given
to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not
quarrelsome, not a lover of money. (NIV)
Titus 1:7-13 Since an overseer is entrusted
with God's work, he must be
blameless—not overbearing, not
quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not
violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he
must be hospitable, one who loves what is good,
who is self-controlled, upright, holy and
disciplined. He must hold firmly to the
trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that
he can encourage others by sound doctrine and
refute those who oppose it. For there are many
rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers,
especially those of the circumcision group. They
must be silenced, because they are ruining whole
households by teaching things they ought not to
teach—and that for the sake of dishonest
gain. Even one of their own prophets has said,
"Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy
gluttons." This testimony is true. Therefore,
rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in
the faith. (NIV) A hireling does not really care
about being a watchman, but is more concerned with
protecting his reputation, position and
income. A true watchman will guard the flock
against wolves from within (Acts 20:30) and
without (Acts 20:29) no matter the cost to his
reputation, position or income. Following is a
little quiz you can take to see if you are a true
Biblical under shepherd as a leader in your
church, are becoming a hireling, or are one
now.

generations. But it is not until this generation
that it's meaning has become clearer.
"Christians" Who Try To Poke Holes In
Sola Scriptura
by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article: "Christians"
Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura
There are a number of the leadership
of the Emerging Church (EC) who do not believe that
the Bible is the highest authority for the Christian
faith. Most do not believe that the Bible is
inerrant in the original manuscripts and many do not
acknowledge that the Bible is our highest
revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine over
which true believers and false brethren must
separate. Those who try to poke holes in Sola
Scriptura make excuses like (1) we need to
reinterpret the Bible through the lens of postmodern
culture and religion (2) the Bible never uses the
words "Sola Scriptura" therefore it is not a
Biblical concept (3) there is new revelation for the
church through the Holy Spirit apart from what is
written and the precepts of the Bible and (4) the
Bible just doesn't address our postmodern situation
therefore we cannot rely on it for the truth and
answers for our problems today. I will prove
that all the above arguments, and more, from EC
leaders and others is exactly what they are
teaching. I will give you quotes from their
teachings, videos and books. The postmodern church
and its "movements" are abandoning Sola Scriptura in
their rush to be like the Roman Catholic Church,
which takes its authority from a mix of Scripture
and tradition.
"As a result the Church, to whom
the transmission and interpretation of Revelation
is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about
all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures
alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be
accepted and honored with EQUAL sentiments of
devotion and reverence." (Roman Catholic
Catechism, Given October 11, 1992, the thirtieth
anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican
Ecumenical Council, in the fourteenth year of my
Pontificate. Page 31).

The
Missionaries Brought A Foreign God ... DUH!
by Sandy Simpson, 7/7/13
There is a repeated charge by adherents of the Word
Christian Gathering on Indigenous People movement and
Emerging Church that Christian missionaries brought
news of a foreign god to most of the world.
"...
this
Christian concept of god ... is really something
that was here (in Hawaii) from the very
beginning"-Wayne Cordeiro, transcript of
Connecting Point television interview of Daniel Kikawa
by Wayne Cordeiro, July 15, 2005
Cordeiro states that Kikawa is a �respected scholar�
and at the end wishes them the very best as �we
continue to educate people of the true origins of
faith in Hawaii.� Frankly some of the worst
scholarship I have ever run into apart from the
Transformations films by George Otis, Jr. are the
books and materials put out by Kikawa. Cordeiro
is stating that they will work together to educate
people of the true origins of faith in Hawaii� when
Kikawa�s claims are, by in large, fraudulent.
This kind of information along with a whole host of
other false teachings are being passed along in
Cordeiro�s churches and school as well as in the Worlc
Christian Gathering on Indigenous People conferences.

In conclusion, this puts the matter to rest about the

go. Hogwash! People who make these claims

especially from the Bible!

Syncretism Forms The Basis For The Teachings Of The

Updated and Reposted! General Jerry Boykin and his ties
to The Knights of Malta and Rick Joyner -
Compiled by Sandy Simpson, 7/21/11 - This article is
being reposted because some of the Calvary Chapel
leadership involved in organizing the upcoming
conferences refused to discuss the issue of Jerry Boykin
being invited again to speak at both the "How To Walk"
and "End Times Outreach" conferences in 8/13 at Calvary
Chapel Koko Mai in Oahu, Hawaii. What Boykin has
been involved with is not "guilt by association" as at
least one CC pastor continues to repeatedly claim, but
clearly guilt by participation and proclamation of
Dominionism and Kingdom Now theologies of the Latter
Rain. This paper exposes what General Boykin
has been doing in Calvary Chapels and his
associations. He is Grand Chancellor of the
Vatican's Jesuitical "Knights of Malta" (KOM swear
fealty to the pope) and is involved with Rick Joyner
in MorningStar, which is part of the New Apostolic
Reformation. Joyner is a member of the
International Coalition of Apostles under C. Peter
Wagner, and soon to be under Chuck Pierce as Wagner is
retiring. Joyner is a long time false prophet who was
a member of the original Kansas City Prophets who
brought the false anointing, false prophecy and false
apostleship through the teachings of the Latter Rain
into many churches.

Inclusivism: Whereas Exclusivists regard general

Testing The Spirits
by Sandy Simpson, 9/6/13
Sometimes I really wonder if someone who claims to be
a Bible believing pastor, for instance, refuses to
listen to the truth. It frankly boggles my
mind. I don't know if it is as a result of the
postmodern paradigm or just that they have no love of
the truth left. I don't know how that can happen
in a truly regenerate person. You would think
that the Holy Spirit would confirm the truth to them,
first in their conscience, and finally through the
written Word. But these days it is a miracle if
it gets that far. I don't know if their
conscience has been so seared that they don't hear the
Spirit or if they just don't want to know the truth
because then they would be responsible for it. I
know that I cannot know their motives or the reasons
why they reject truth and refuse to talk about false
teaching, but I do know one thing. We are called
as true believers to test the spirits. We must
do this even if the result is not to our liking or
befuddles us as to the reasons.
Four
Books That the Enemy Has Used To Corrupt
Christianity by Sandy Simpson, 9/9/13
Four men changed the world into
their postmodern, communist, evolutionist,
materialist, Narcissistic concept of reality.
There are also four books that have corrupted
Christianity worldwide.
Statement On
Jacob Prasch by Sandy Simpson, 10/5/13
I am writing this note in response to recent charges
that Jacob Prasch is a "gnostic" because he uses
Midrash. Let me state for the record that Jacob
is not a "gnostic" by any stretch of the imagination
and his teachings abundantly prove that, as well as
his statement of faith. He also does not
exclusively use Midrash to interpret Scripture but as
one tool in the arsenal of exegesis. You can
read the article on his site called How
To
Do An Exegesis as proof of what I am
saying. Those who make these charges against
Jacob have neither read this article nor his statement
of faith. The ridiculous older article forwarded
to a number of discernment ministries railing against
Midrash is ill informed on that subject and should be
ignored. Jacob has helped many Gentile believers
to understand the Jewish mindset when it comes to the
Scriptures which is desperately needed. He has
been a champion of correct exegesis and proper
Biblical hermeneutics for decades. He was one
apologist who helped many of us to understand the
falsehood and dangers of the counterfeit revivals and
Third Wave movement. Jacob has been
indispensable to the churches which is why I am proud
to call him a friend and mentor and why my ministry is
now affiliated with his. I am very saddened by
this attack on Jacob and would like to encourage those
who are doing it to cease and desist and learn to
focus on the myriad of serious issues facing the
churches these days. Get back to work on
apologetics and stop putting down a man who has helped
so many people and will continue to do so into the
future. I would like to advise all the
discernment ministries to stop this infighting and go
back to the task at hand.
Glitter Christians
by Sandy Simpson, 11/21/13
This is a name I came up with for people attending
and teaching at Oral Roberts University in the
70s. Even back then I had come to realize that
their way of representing Christianity was not in line
with the Scriptures. At that time I didn�t know
that Oral Roberts was carrying on the Word of Faith
traditions of New Thought practitioners such as
Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Essex Kenyan, Norman
Vincent Peale, Robert Schuler, and many other false
teachers of the time. Though I didn�t know
anything about Word of Faith or New Thought then I
knew that the way they were representing Christianity
was just not right somehow. Their desire to
portray Christians as rich, beautiful, healthy,
perfect, and virtually sinless (holiness) went
directly against the example of Jesus, the Apostles
and the early church.
Colin Brown claims
God is "Rebooting the Church" by Sandy
Simpson, 12/9/13
When I read the title of this issue of the
ElijahList, it made me really angry. The title
was ""Rebooting" the Church: Changing Times and
Changing Seasons". I immediately asked myself
the question: Is it a good thing to "reboot" the
Church? Revival is a good thing when it is based
on repentance (Acts 3:19). But this is not what Brown
is talking about. He is talking about "rebooting".
When you reboot a computer you turn it off and on
again, erasing any programs running, making a fresh
start which sometimes works on computers and sometimes
does not (for example when there is a virus in the
computer - pun intended!). It is a good thing to
return to our first love of the Jesus Christ and the
Gospel (Rev. 2:4-5). But this is also not what Brown
is talking about. And how could he? The churches
involved with the false apostles, false prophets,
false teachers of the New Apostolic have already had
their candlestick removed long ago. They can keep
rebooting themselves in their occult "slain in the
spirit" 24/7 and it will not bring repentance and
refreshing. It will only strengthen the delusion they
have put themselves under and that God is allowing on
them as a condemnation.
Chuck Pierce
Invites Christians To "The Banqueting Table"
by Sandy Simpson, 12/17/13
Chuck Pierce, the new head false apostle of the New
Apostolic Reformation, formerly under false apostle C.
Peter Wagner, has just announced on the ElijahList
that he wants to "invite each of you to COME TO THE
BANQUETING TABLE on January 2-5, 2014 at the Global
Spheres Center in Corinth, Texas!" This is a
call for people to sign up for yet another conference
of false apostles and false prophets, but the ad
sounds like he is inviting people to the "Marriage
Supper Of The Lamb". You may find that idea
absurd until you listen to these people "declaring"
things "from the heavenlies". In another
December 16, 2013 issue of ElijahList Pierce states
that they are going to "Rend the Heavens and Let
Prophetic Revelation Fall!" These people are so
deluded that they think they are in the place of
God. But when I saw that Pierce is inviting
people to this "banqueting table", which always
includes "slain in the spirit", false prophecy and
lying declarations, I was reminded of the following
passage ...
Is Dominionism
Working? by Sandy Simpson, 12/18/13
Since the counterfeit revivals of the mid 80's there
has been a claim by many Latter Rain /Word of Faith
groups that the church is going to take over the
world, taking control of the governments, businesses
and every other aspect of life. Movements such as the
Toronto "Blessing", Brownsville "Outpouring", Word of
Faith, New Apostolic Reformation, Emergent Church, and
many other related Latter Rain movements have been
claiming that they are making radical changes in
people's lives due to miracles, prophecies, dead
raisings, and growing numbers of people attending mega
churches. So by now, in 2014, we should be seeing the
effects of this wonderful scenario that the false
apostles, false prophets, false teachers, and false
Christs of these movements have predicted. Where is
the actual proof that Dominion IS is working?
2014
Night Marchers and UFOs
on the Big Island by Sandy Simpson,
1/13/14
With the resurgence of the old religion of Hawaii and
the continual invocation of Pelé and other "deities"
for years in the secular culture and even in churches
with regards to worshipping 'Io, is it any wonder that
those beings are beginning to manifest again? In
a story called "Night
Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in a YouTube
video on the same subject, eyewitnesses claim
all kinds of sightings that they think are the
warriors, ancestors and demi-gods of Hawaii coming
back. Interestingly the first
book
the Hawaiian Heritage site recommends in its
"Suggested Reading" list is "Perpetuated
in
Righteousness" by Daniel Kikawa that we reviewed
in our book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" by Sandy Simpson and Mike
Oppenheimer. Since Kikawa claims that 'Io is the True
God and one that the Hawaiians worshipped in secret,
we have to wonder if Kikawa also thinks 'Io is showing
up in these night marches? Since YWAM, Aloha Ke Akua
and Hilo New Hope participated in worshipping 'Io at
the "edge of Hale-ma'uma'u Crater" it sounds like they
have all been inviting the old "gods" to return to
Hawaii.
"They Will Believe
The Lie" by Sandy Simpson, 1/16/14
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 "The coming of the lawless one
will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will
use all sorts of displays of power through signs and
wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that
wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They
perish because they refused to love the truth and so
be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful
delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that
all will be condemned who have not believed the truth
but have delighted in wickedness." This has always
been an interesting passage to me for a few different
reasons. What is �the lie� that is talked about
here in verse 9? What are the ways that
�wickedness deceives those who are perishing� and how
long has this been going on or does this only begin to
happen at the coming of the lawless one? In what
way does �the lie� cause those who do not believe the
truth to �delight in wickedness�?
Replacement
Theology On Steroids! by Sandy Simpson,
2/13/14
The teachings of the New Apostolic, Emergent Church
and World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People are
promoting both Inclusivism and a new, radical,
Replacement Theology. It is therefore imperative
that true believers get away from these false teachers
who are teaching utter heresy and stand up for the
truths of God�s Word before all mission work is lost.
One of Satan�s Final
Masquerades by Sandy Simpson, 2/22/14
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself
masquerades as an angel of light. Satan often
disguises himself with the purpose of deceiving
people. One way in which I believe he is putting
on a masquerade is by appearing as �Mary� to millions
of people worldwide
Four
Books That the Enemy Has Used To Corrupt
Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The four books that have changed the
church by giving an introduction to the false
teachings of the New Apostolic/Latter Rain (NAR),
the Emerging Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism
(EC), pragmatic Church Growth (CG) methodologies of
C. Peter Wagner, Robert Schuller and Peter Drucker,
and the teachings of the World Christian Gathering
on Indigenous People (WCGIP) are as follows:
   
These four books were widely
read by Christians from virtually every
denominational background before their ramifications
and the movements they would spawn were known.
They lay error alongside truth so were considered
not to be a threat to churches. Therefore
these books then became part of the consciousness of
many Christians and churches, thereby laying the
basis for the introduction of the modern day false
teachings of the NAR, EC, CG and WCGIP that have
become part of the landscape of Christendom
today.

"They Will Believe The Lie"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am doing a Bible study right now on
what I would call "renewing our minds". It is
based on this verse:
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the
pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to
test and approve what God's will is - his good,
pleasing and perfect will.
The only way to renew our minds is to
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess our sins,
and be saved, then to study the written Word and
allow the indwelling Holy Spirit to teach us.
Our minds are corrupted by virtue of the sin nature
and what we have learned in life because our filters
are off. I gave an illustration of straining coconut
to make coconut milk. If you use a 1 inch
screen everything will pass through. Even if
you use a quarter inch screen you will get mostly
coconut meat in your milk. You have to use a
fine screen in order to separate the milk from the
leftover. Our filters are off and the first
thing God begins to do is correct our worldview,
because if your worldview is off you will not
understand God's reality. We need to learn to
see things from His perspective. This is why I
started this study by going back to an original
problem.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming
of the lawless one will be in accordance with how
Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of
power through signs and wonders that serve the
lie, and all the ways that wickedness
deceives those who are perishing. They perish
because they refused to love the truth and so be
saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful
delusion so that they will believe the lie
and so that all will be condemned who have not
believed the truth but have delighted in
wickedness.
This has always been an interesting
passage to me for a few different reasons.
What is "the lie" that is talked about here in verse
9 and 11? What are the ways that "wickedness
deceives those who are perishing" and how long has
this been going on or does this only begin to happen
at the coming of the lawless one? In what way
does "the lie" cause those who do not believe the

We need a firm
foundation to weather the storm of false ideas
by Sandy Simpson, 4/15/14
Matthew 7:24 �Therefore everyone who hears these
words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a
wise man who built his house on the rock." "How firm a
foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your
faith in His excellent word!" © 1787 Joseph Funk &
Robert Keene. A house built on the rock will
stand. The Rock is God and in particular, Jesus
Christ. Therefore His written Word is the
teachings of the His Holy Spirit and a Rock we can
depend on. Anyone who wants to prove anything
theologically, historically, scientifically or
anything else needs to start with correct
information. If you start with a faulty
foundation, as you build your arguments, they begin to
fall apart because they are not supported in God�s
truth. If you want to build on a firm
foundation, you need to start the process by a careful
study of God�s Word in context of the verse and
according to the whole counsel of God�s Word.
The Bible is the best commentary on the Bible. There
are many false ideas floating around out there that
have been there, some from long ago. Those ideas
were formed in lieu of God�s Word, not from it.
I am going to give some examples of false ideas in
history, science and theology and show how they could
have been avoided if the Bible had been
consulted. Yes, the Bible is accurate for more
than just theology. Keeping it in context we can
accurately understand history, science and a whole
host of other subjects.
Karma (by any other name)
by Sandy Simpson, 5/1/14
Given the definitions of �karma� above, this same
idea, usually without the reincarnation aspect in
Christian circles, has been taught for decades in New
Thought movements such as the Positive
Thinking/Positive Confession teachings of Norman
Vincent Peale & Robert Schuller, the Word of Faith
ideas of Essex Kenyan, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland
and Benny Hinn, the mixture of Eastern Mysticism and
Christianity by Korean false teachers such as the
�force of faith� Paul Yongii Cho, and newer renditions
and fusions by people like Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince,
T.D. Jakes (recently agreeing with Oprah Winfrey who
teaches karma on her WHO network), and others such as
Ernest Angley, John Bevere, Markus Bishop, Juanita

Those
Who
Do Not Lead Christians to Maturity by Sandy
Simpson, 5/11/14
Eph. 4:12-14 to equip his people for works of
service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the
knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,
attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of
Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back
and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by
every wind of teaching and by the cunning and
craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
Heb. 5:13-14 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an
infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about
righteousness. But solid food is for the mature,
who by constant use have trained themselves to
distinguish good from evil.
Samy Tanagho - Evangelism
using the wrong god by Sandy Simpson,
5/12/14
I need to provide some background to this
article. I first heard Samy at our Calvary
Chapel church in Pearl Harbor. I was shocked to
hear how he is �evangelizing� Muslims. I
subsequently found out that his book was endorsed
twice by Chuck Smith and that he was stating, although
played down at that time of 11/07, that he prayed to
Allah. I then sent the following email exchange
I had with Samy to Chuck Smith and later someone
handed a physical copy of it to Bill Stonebraker of CC
Komo Mai. Not only did I not receive a response
from Chuck Smith or anyone in his office (too late
now) I was also shocked to hear that Samy has now been
invited to speak at Calvary Chapel Komo Mai while
Stonebraker is in Israel conducting a tour. So
all of this fallen on deaf ears. After you read
what Samy said I think you will understand the
seriousness of this issue, especially since both Smith
and Stonebraker have declared many times that Allah is
not God. Why then do they continue to allow Samy
access to their churches if they still believe that
Allah is not God?
Generic and
Specific - Two reasons why the Bible translation
societies, putting the names of supreme beings in
Bible translations, is unbiblical by
Sandy Simpson, 5/18/2014
In my article �Blasphemizing
the
Bible� I give a number of examples of how a lot
of modern Bible translation societies are putting the
names of �supreme beings� in the Bible in the place of
God or YHWH. In this article I'm going to examine two
of the excuses they make for making those
substitutions in the Bible in many hundreds of
different languages today. (1) They claim that God has
many different names and therefore they think they are
justified in putting the names of various gods of
various cultures in Bibles, as long as they are
considered �supreme beings�. (2) The second
excuse they give is that the names of the �gods� they
are placing in the Bible are generic terms for God,
like the words �God�, �Theos�, �Dios� and
�Elohim�. By generic I mean a word that can be
used for any deity whether of the one true God or
other false gods who claim to be God.
Audio Added! Using Illustrations from
Culture To Help People Understand Jesus Christ Can
Be A Good Idea - Getting People to Worship False
Gods Is Not by Sandy Simpson, 5/29/14 - You
can get the audio version of this article here.
Cultural illustrations can be helpful but only if
taught in the light of the true accounts in the
written Word. Putting cultural accounts on the
same par as Scripture by using the mythology of pagan
nations to replace what needs to be taught about Jesus
Christ and the True God degrades the Bible accounts,
in fact blasphemizes them. There is only one
Name under heaven by which men may be saved, and there
is only one Name of God, revealed by God Himself.
"... and all liars"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Lying is a problem for all people
(Ps. 116:11). We are all sinners (Rom.
3:23). Those of us who are Christians are
"sinners saved by grace" (Eph. 2:8) indwelt by the
Holy Spirit in our "new self" (Col. 3:10). But we
still live in our "old self" which we must "put off"
(Eph. 4:20-25) by taking up our cross daily and
following Christ (Luke 9:23). The difference
between unbelievers and those who are truly born
again is that believers no longer "practice sin" (1
John 3:9, see my Bible study on 1 John!) They
have the indwelling Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:11) who
convicts them when they lie (John 16:8). True
believers then repent (1 John 1:9) and go on to
"practice righteousness" (1 John 2:29) with the
Lord's help. The unregenerate, the false
brothers, or those who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4,
Mark 4:17), practice lying. They practice a
lifestyle of lying because their consciences are
seared (1 Tim. 4:2) and the Holy Spirit, when
convicting them, cannot break through the hardness
of their unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb.
3:13).

John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil,
and you want to carry out your father's desires. He
was a murderer from the beginning, not holding
to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he
lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar
and the father of lies. Revelation 21:8 But the
cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers,
the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts,
the idolaters and all
liars, they will be consigned to the fiery lake
of burning sulfur. This is the second death.�
Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs, those who
practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the
murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and
practices falsehood.
Those
Who Do Not Lead Christians to Maturity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The Scriptural definition of maturity
is to learn to discern truth from error so that the
Christian will no longer be double minded, blown
about by every wind of teaching and by the schemes
of crafty people. But the problem today is
that so few Christian teachers are feeding their
flock's solid food. They are serving up milk
and, because of that, people are starving. Yet they
often don't even know they have been on a starvation
diet. Amos 8:11 "The days are coming,"
declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a
famine through the land - not a famine of
food or a thirst for water, but a famine of
hearing the words of the Lord."

Replacement Theology On Steroids
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So, as you can see, the root of
this teaching is that Israel no longer holds the
distinction of being the tree from which the Root
of David (Jesus-Rev. 5:5, 22:16) came. They
are no longer the �natural branches" (Israel-Rom.
11:21) on to which Gentile Christianity (the wild
shoots-Rom. 11:17 or wild branches-Rom. 11:24) are
grafted in (Rom. 11:17-24). According to
Replacement Theology, Christianity has now become
its own branch apart from Israel (the natural
branch) that produced the Root and all the
promises of the Bible to Israel have been taken
away from them and given to the Gentile
Church. This is why you hear so many false
teachers taking verses out of context from the Old
Testament and willy-nilly applying them to the
Gentile Church. This methodology has been
going on for decades in liberal churches and has
been popularized by many false teachers on TV. But
the fact is that Replacement Theology is utter
false doctrine. It denies promises made to
Israel, some of which have already been fulfilled
and some which are yet to come to fruition. But
when you add the fact that the Inclusivist WCGIP
proponents are now saying that God planted
hundreds of different trees, cultures all over the
world, that are not connected to the natural
branch, tree and Root, you have what can only be
termed Replacement Theology on steroids!

�His Name, the only
Name� by Sandy Simpson, 9/5/14
Zechariah 14:9 "The LORD will be king over the whole
earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his
name the only name." What are the implications of this
prophecy in Zechariah? (1) That before the
return of Christ there have always been many �gods�
worshipped in many names. (2) That the saints
who return with Christ (Zechariah 14:5), those who
were Raptured, are the ones who had already believed
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those
remaining are forced to acknowledge that there is �no
other name under heaven given to mankind by which we
must be saved� because they were left behind in the
Rapture and survived the Tribulation.
Victoria Osteen � the
�response� that shows she is a typical false teacher
by Sandy Simpson, 9/8/14
It never ceases to amaze me how people who claim to
be �Christian� leaders are apparently NEVER able to
admit when they are wrong. Makes you wonder if
they are born again because acceptance of the Gospel
will cause a person to repent of their sins which then
gives them access to the forgiveness of Christ when
they sin from that point on (1 John 1:9). But be
that as it may, Victoria, the �co-pastor� and wife of
Joel Osteen, fires back at the article in the
Christian Post entitled: �Victoria
Osteen
Ripped for Telling Church 'Just Do Good For Your Own
Self'; Worship Is Not for God, 'You're Doing it for
Yourself'� by claiming they lied about what she
said. She claims in her statement back to them
in the article called �Victoria
Osteen
Chides Critics: I Didn't Mean Parishioners Shouldn't
Worship God � That's Ridiculous� that they
claimed that she said a person should not worship God.
Leviathan by Sandy
Simpson, 9/22/14
This study is up for interpretation but I find
descriptions of leviathan in the Bible
fascinating. This creature that existed, and may
yet exist, is used as a description of the might and
power of the enemy.
His Name, The Only Name
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will
be king over the whole earth. On that day there
will be one LORD, and his name the only name.
The reason I wrote this
article based on Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of
how many so-called Christians, who are influential
in the churches, are promoting the worship of God in
the names of other gods.

Karma (by
any other name)
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
According to Wikipedia:
"Karma means action, work or deed;
it also refers to the principle of causality where
intent and actions of an individual influence the
future of that individual. Good intent and
good deed contribute to good karma and future
happiness, while bad intent and bad deed
contribute to bad karma and future
suffering. Karma is closely associated with
the idea of rebirth in some schools of Asian
religions. In these schools, karma in the
present affects one's future in the current life,
as well as the nature and quality of future lives
- or, one's samsara. With origins in ancient
India, it is a key concept in Hinduism, Buddhism,
Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Ching Hai and
others."(emphasis mine)
Mirram-Webster defines it this
way:
the force created by a person's
actions that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism
to determine what that person's next life will be
like: the force created by a person's actions that
some people believe causes good or bad things to
happen to that person
Given the definitions of "karma"
above, this same idea, usually without the
reincarnation aspect in Christian circles, has been
taught for decades in New Thought movements such as
the Positive Thinking/Positive Confession teachings
of Norman Vincent Peale & Robert
Schuller, the Word of Faith ideas of Essex
Kenyan, Kenneth
Hagin, Kenneth

Transported
by the Lion of Judah by Anne Elmer -
Reviewed by Sandy Simpson, 10/31/14
Sometimes I can�t hardly believe the advertising for
books like this one on ElijahList. It stated:
This is one of the most amazing AND TRUE stories I've
ever read and it's by a person I know well. My wife
and I stayed in Anne Elmer and her husband's home in
France. When she shared her story, I KNEW it had to be
a book. Anne agreed and our readers have spoken by
purchasing so many copies of this amazing narrative
about what REALLY HAPPENED TO HER as THE LION FLEW HER
THROUGHOUT THE EARTH! (ElijahList newsletter,
10/30/14) This illustrates the lack of integrity on
the part of ElijahList in calling this story a �true
story�. Where is the proof, any proof that this
actually happened? This is another instance
where ElijahList freely promotes trips to heaven and
hell as factual, but now it has stepped this
myth-telling even further with a trip God took a woman
on all over the world!
Audio Added! An Anatomy Of
A False Prophesy by Sandy Simpson, 11/13/14
- You can get the audio version of this article here.
ElijahList is well known for sending out false
prophecies on a daily basis. In fact they send
anywhere from 3-5 emails daily. I have saved
them all for many years because they are ripe fodder
for discernment articles. I am going to use this
obvious false prophecy by a long time false prophet of
the New Apostolic Reformation as a demonstration of a
false prophecy and how to test them according to the
Bible and common sense.

Disingenuous
Hermeneutics by Sandy Simpson, 2/23/15
I was reminded of a comment by Rev. Gary Gilley made
on our 6-DVD series called �The New Apostolic
Reformation � What is it and where is it
going?�. He was addressing proper exegesis
versus wrong ways to interpret the Bible. He
said that those who inject their own ideas and
doctrinal methodologies on the Bible, making it into
their own image and to their own liking, are using
�Fairytale Hermeneutics�. I always liked that
definition and will now add one of my own with regards
to how people lie about what the Bible says when it
comes to their own preconceived notions, upholding
mistaken Biblical interpretations. When you find
yourself having to make up false definitions and other
interpretations that are not according to the clear
teaching of Scripture, you end up being a type of
false teacher. I learned long ago that if you
want to teach the Bible correctly you let it interpret
itself. You teach what Jesus, the Apostles,
Prophets and Patriarchs did, with the help of the Holy
Spirit instead of trying to plug in manmade doctrinal
systems on top of Biblical truths.
How To Discern, Test & Judge
Rightly
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In
running a web site with thousands of articles, 1-2
million hits per month from all over the world,
and hundreds of e-mails per week, I have come to
realize, with time, that there is a terrible
problem in Christendom today. The problem stems
from an existential subjective view of the world
that has filtered into the church from secular
society, but also from the teachings of heretical
wolves who have taught an entire generation of
churchgoers completely unbiblical methods of
discernment or to get rid of any discernment
altogether.

The Attack
Of The Enemy On Churches by Sandy Simpson,
3/10/15
So much heresy is entering the churches these
days. As you would suspect, sometimes it is due
to a pastor attending a conference or reading a book
and becoming diapraxed with unbiblical ideas. He
then starts to weave those ideas into his messages and
begins to invite speakers to the church who expound on
those ideas. Then when confronted by someone in
the church who has reservations about the new stuff
being taught, they are told to not talk about it and
just go along with the program. If that person
does not they are ostracized, slander behind their
back, and often told to leave (which is what they
should do in any case). But my observation is
that it is not only the pastor who causes unbiblical
changes to influence a church. Often the pastor
is blissfully unaware of influences coming into his
church. They often come in through (1) the
worship team (2) women�s groups (3) bookstore (4)
children�s programs (5) interdenominational prayer
efforts and (6) relief and mission
organizations. If unchecked this type of
infiltration is much more subtle and can become deeply
rooted.
UPDATED! Questions For
Those Who Claim The "Supreme Beings" Of The Nations
Are The True God by Sandy Simpson,
3/17/15
I have some questions for those of the World
Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP)
adherents such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss (deceased), Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman,
Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM as well as many in the Emergent
Church (EC) ... the questions arise from their claim
that the "supreme beings" of the nations are all the
True God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. You can read more on this subject in our
book "Idolatry In Their
Hearts" or in the WCGIP
section of my site.

NEW!
Testing The
Spirits
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Sometimes I really wonder why someone
who claims to be a Bible believing pastor, for
instance, refuses to listen to the truth. It
frankly boggles my mind. I don't know if it is
as a result of the postmodern paradigm or just that
they have no love of the truth left. I don't
know how that can happen in a truly regenerate
person. You would think that the Holy Spirit
would confirm the truth to them, first in their
conscience, and finally through the written
Word. But these days it is a miracle if it
gets that far. I don't know if their
conscience has been so seared that they don't hear
the Spirit or if they just don't want to know the
truth because then they would be responsible for
it. I know that I cannot know their motives or
the reasons why they reject truth and refuse to talk
about false teaching, but I do know one thing: we
are called as true believers to test the
spirits. We must do this even if the result is
not to our liking or befuddles us as to the reasons.
1 John 4:1 Dear
friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits to see whether they are from God, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world.

God�s Attitude toward
the �Supreme Beings� of the Nations by Sandy
Simpson, 5/20/15
It is quite clear from Scripture that YHWH does NOT
consider the �supreme beings� of the nations to be
Himself, the One True God. This is in opposition
to the teachings of Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss and many others promoting the World
Christian Gathering of Indigenous People movement,
Emergent Church and Liberal theologies. I have
proven this time and time again in my articles on the
subject but I am going to consolidate the information
from the Bible in this article by studying the false
gods named in the Bible. I am sure I will not be
able to cover every instance of supreme beings
mentioned in the Bible but I (1) want to deal with
some of the major ones (2) show you where they are
found in the Word, and (3) prove that they were the
�supreme beings� of those nations named by the
patriarchs, prophets and Apostles and that they were
not monotheistic gods but polytheistic in the
tradition of Babel where the false religion of
polytheism first took root through the worship of
Nimrod and Semiramis.
False Teachers Revisited
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I often receive requests to present
updated false teachings and false prophecies by the
myriad of heretics out there. We do try to
keep up with all the latest. But I have to
remind people that those we have exposed as false on
our site have not repented of what they have already
done in the past, which is why they are still on our
site. So what they are doing now has no
relevance as to whether or not they are now to be
considered a true Biblical teacher. If and
when they repent, that is renounce their false
teachings and false prophecies, make restitution to
those they have deceived, and begin to teach sound
Biblical doctrine we will give you that
information. As of now NONE of the people we
have exposed have repented of their Latter Rain,
Word of Faith teachings, heretical practices or
their false prophecies. But in the interest of
helping you to respond to a person who inquires by
saying: "Those articles are old and you need newer
materials" well, here is some newer stuff you can
add to the pile. For you and me this really
makes no difference, but for those who are living in
deception perhaps it might demolish one of their
arguments against the truth.

Audio Added! "...whether
things
on earth or things in heaven" by Sandy
Simpson, 6/2/15 - You can get the audio version of this
article here.
Col. 1:19-20 For God was pleased to have all
his fullness dwell in him, and through him to
reconcile to himself all things, whether things on
earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his
blood, shed on the cross. I ran across this verse
again the other day and it made me stop and think.
Why would Jesus Christ have to reconcile things in
heaven? I understand fully why He had to do that
on earth where sin took control, as well as the physical
universe which was also affected by sin, but in the
third heaven? In looking at the various
commentaries on this subject it is apparent that people
have different ideas about what this means.
Marks of False
Religion - A study of Colossians 2:8 in context
with applications for today by Sandy
Simpson, 6/11/15
Christians, in order to remain faithful, need to take
seriously the repeated admonitions of the Apostles to
stay true to Jesus Christ, the Gospel and sound
doctrine. This is the only way to protect
ourselves from the wolves who continue to invade the
churches. Matthew 7:15 "Watch out for false
prophets. They come to you in sheep�s clothing, but
inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
What We Need Is A Reverse Paradigm
Shift!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I'm going to warn you now. I am
going to let you in on some information tonight that
is going to radically change your world view.
You are likely going to experience the beginnings of
a reverse paradigm shift and after tonight there
will be no way to go back the way you came.
You will be faced with choices that you may never
have known you had. You will be faced with a
new way of looking at things that is going to cause
you to rethink everything that is being taught in
the Emerging Latter Rain churches. It is going
to be radical because the basis for this message
doesn't come from Jesus Christ visiting my room last
night bodily, but from His holy written Word.
So buckle down your seat belts, you're likely in for
a bumpy ride!
Matt. 7:15-23
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in
sheep�s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious
wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do
people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from
thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good
fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree
cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear
good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good
fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus,
by their fruit you will recognize them. "Not
everyone who says to me, �Lord, Lord,� will enter
the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the
will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say
to me on that day, �Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out
demons and perform many miracles?� Then I will
tell them plainly, �I never knew you. Away from
me, you evildoers!�

Marks Of False Religion
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one
takes you captive through philosophy and empty
deception, according to the tradition of men,
according to the elementary principles of the world,
rather than according to Christ.
In context Paul is especially
addressing, though perhaps not to the exclusion of
other false religion, what had become the false
religion of the Pharisees and Jewish
leadership. There were many Jewish so-called
�Christians� making the rounds among the fledgling
early churches who were trying to get the Gentiles
to come under the Law from which Christ had
purchased their freedom. John Gill states this
case well in his commentary.

Universalism in the
World
has Permeated the Church
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The current fad of interfaith
solidarity and unity is simply a thin guise of
inclusivism, Universalism and pluralism.
Universalism is defined by
Dictionary.com as: The doctrine that emphasizes
the universal fatherhood of God and the final
salvation of all souls. (Source)
Universalism is a religion and theology that
generally holds all persons and creatures are
related to God or the divine and will be
reconciled to God. (Source)
Pluralism is defined as: The
doctrine that reality is composed of many ultimate
substances. � The belief that no single
explanatory system or view of reality can account
for all the phenomena of life. (American Heritage
Dictionary, (Source)
Inclusivism is: "Inclusivism
posits that even though the work of Christ is the
only means of salvation, it does not follow that
explicit knowledge of Christ is necessary in order
for one to be saved. In contrast to pluralism,
inclusivism agrees with exclusivism in affirming
the particularity of salvation in Jesus Christ.
But unlike exclusivism, inclusivism holds that an
implicit faith response to general revelation can
be salvific. God expects from man a response
proportional to the light given. Saving faith is
not characterized so much by its cognitive content
as it is by its reverent quality." (Ken Keathley,
None Dare Call It Treason: Is an Inclusivist
a Paul Revere or a Benedict Arnold? (Ken Keathley,
Assistant Professor of Theology and Philosophy New
Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, (Source)
We deal with these old heresies
brought forward to modernity, these ideas that all
men have have a relationship with God that will
cause them to be able to avoid judgement in our
book on the teachings of the World Gathering on
Indigenous People movement called �Idolatry In Their
Hearts�. The idea that all men who
worship a �god� are worshipping the true God,
YHWH, has bubbled up to the very top of our
societies and religions, and even Christendoom,
and should sound a warning alarm to true Biblical
Christianity. Instead, as usual in our day,
most Christians are asleep at the wheel while
Universalists claim that you can pray to a �god�
like Allah and be praying to the true Trinue God,
YHWH. I also dealt with the fact that Allah is not
YHWH, both in our book and in the article �Is Allah The Same As YHWH?�.

Luring People To Destruction
By The
Unscrupulous Use Of The "Gospel" Message
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Phil.
1:14-18 Because of my chains, most of
the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to
speak the word of God more courageously and
fearlessly. It is true that some preach Christ
out of envy and rivalry, but others out of
goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing
that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition,
not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up
trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does
it matter? The important thing is that in every way,
whether from false motives or true, Christ is
preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I
will continue to rejoice,
If you see what I see in this
passage, this argument cannot be used for people
like Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and the hundreds,
even thousands of Third Wave ministers today who are
not merely envious and self ambitious, but are also
teaching outright false doctrine. Paul was not
talking about heretics in this statement, but
"brothers in the Lord" who preach the Gospel with
wrong motives. Third Wave teachers not only have
wrong motives, they also have the wrong
message. This argument cannot be used for
people like Hinn, even if they manage to preach
enough of the "Gospel" for people to come to a
saving knowledge of the Lord, because they are also
teaching and practicing heresy.

Audio Added! What is your
covering? by Sandy Simpson, 10/3/15 - You
can get the audio version of this article here.
The question every human being must ask themselves is
this: "What is my covering?" Is it fig leaves or
animal skins? I state this not literally but
figuratively. Are you depending on your good
works or the blood of Jesus Christ to save you?
This is the ultimate question all the way from the
Garden of Eden. It is apparent that those who
are truly saved are "in Christ" (Rom. 6:7, 8:1),
washed in the Blood (1 Cor. 6:11, Rev. 7:14),
crucified and buried with Christ (Gal. 2:20, Rom. 6:4)
and born again (John 3:3, 1 Pet. 1:23), anticipating
eternal life (John 17:3, Rom. 6:23). But there are
also those who rely on their works (2 Tim. 1:9). Every
person will be judged according to their works (Eph.
2:8-9, Rev. 20:12), whether they were relying on them
to be saved or relying on the work of Christ on the
cross for their salvation. Even many people who
call themselves Christians will end up trying to rely
on works instead of grace.
What
Should I Say?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this booklet.
How do you answer an invitation to
attend a meeting where you know nothing about the
speaker or what will be done there? What happens if
they want to announce the meeting at your church and
invite everyone? What do you say to a person who
tells you that you don�t have the Holy Spirit even
though you are a Christian? What should you do if
you think something is wrong, or your conscience is
bothering you about something that was said or
done? The answer?
Go to the Scriptures!
The Bible has all the answers to your
questions. This little booklet is an attempt to deal
with a few of the typical statements you will hear
from people who have become involved in the Third
Wave revival movement. By �Third Wave� I am
referring to teachers, �prophets� and any meeting
associated with the Toronto �Blessing�, Brownsville
Assemblies of God, Rodney Howard-Browne, Benny Hinn,
Kenneth Copeland, Rod Parsley, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce
Meyers, Bethel Church, Lakeland and many others who
appear on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and the
700 Club on TV.
Hopefully the statements and answers
in this booklet will set you off on an investigation
of your own in the Word. If you need help, and you
have access to the Internet, you can visit my web
site called �Deception In The Church� that deals
with these issues and has the articles mentioned in
this booklet.

The New
Panentheistic "God" Of Christendom
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Now, I bet you read the title of this
article and thought I had misspelled the word
"pantheism". Just so that those of you who
write to me advising me of words I have misspelled
in articles (and I do often) I want to tell you that
I am using the term "panentheism" as coined by Karl
C. F. Krause. You can read more about this
word and concept in an excellent book called "A Time Of
Departing" by Ray Yungen.
There is a new "God" being promoted
in the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
and Word of Faith movements whose teachers are
regularly seen on TBN, Daystar, SkyAngel, CBN and
other "Christian" TV networks. Some of those
teachers even have, what would be considered, a
fairly typical statement of faith or doctrinal
statement they endorse. But by what they teach
they end up promoting a false unbiblical view of
God, especially through their actions and
experiences. The whole phenomenon of "slain in
the spirit" and all the antics that go with it are
brainwashing an entire generation of Christians to
put their faith in another Jesus, another Spirit,
another Gospel. This new "Jesus" and "Holy
Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or panentheistic in
nature. Though some of these teachers would
claim to be believing in the God who is One God in
Three Persons, by what they teach they deny the very
revealed character of God from Scripture.

�Overtake you
like a thief� by Sandy Simpson,
11/13/15
1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in
darkness, that the day would overtake you like a
thief; How serious will it be for a person to be
overtaken in �that day� like a thief overtakes a
household when he slips in and steals? Will it
just be a surprise for those who claim to be
Christians who will get a slap on the wrist by the
Lord but still proceed to heaven? Will they
simply lose rewards but still gain the ultimate
reward? What is this darkness that the brethren
are not in? 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5 While they
are saying, �Peace and safety!� then destruction
will come upon them suddenly like labor pains
upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day
would overtake you like a thief; for you are all
sons of light and sons of day. We are not of
night or of darkness;
Prophets for profit by
Sandy Simpson, 12/21/15
2 Cor. 2:17 "Unlike so many, we do not peddle the
word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we
speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from
God." There are many false teachers on TV these days
who peddle the word of God for profit. They make
promises of healing that do not come true by claiming
if they are given a financial gift the person will
receive healing and riches. When what they
promised does not happen the person is blamed that
they did not have enough faith. This often destroys
the faith of people who fall into the traps of these
snake oil salesmen. I have no problem with
people charging for their materials if they cost to be
produced, even though it is hoped that when a person
cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will
receive them free of charge. But the charges
levied on people for conferences and speaking
engagements is often excessive. A minister of
God can ask for support and deserves it if they are
being diligent in their study and proclamation of the
Word. But experiences and feelings often come
with a price today and that is not right.

Word-Faith Movement about "declaring" healing,
"name-it-and-claim-it", etc. have been proven to be
lies by the very people who sell this deceit.
If you don't know about where these famous "faith
healers" go when they need healing, you may be
surprised. Why couldn't they heal themselves
when they purported to be able to heal others by
virtue of their superior faith? What happened
to the extraordinary faith they claimed to have,
enough faith to heal and be healed? Since they
are the ones who taught that all you have to do is
claim the healing that is in the Atonement (Is.
53:5) why did they not do so? Don't their
deaths prove that what they were preaching was a lie
and pragmatic witchcraft rather than biblical
relality?

FYI: Jenn
Johnson of Bethel Church talks about angels farting
Commentary by Sandy Simpson, 1/20/16
In a YouTube video
Jenn Johnson, daughter of Bill Johnson of Bethel
Church in Redding, CA, "Jenn shares about our need to
define things as "black" or "white", but there is a
whole realm of "gray" that needs to be dealt with.
Black and white are exclusively composed of shades of
gray... and the only way the gray is defined, is
because of how the light is shone through the
color". As one example Jenn talks about angels
having farting contests around God's throne. The
angels she is seeing cannot be angels of God because
they would not be around the Throne in the third
heaven if they were taking pleasure in farting.
What she is likely seeing is demonic in nature and a
delusion. This type of stuff is par for the
course at Bethel. I will be releasing a review
on their new "Holy Ghost Reborn" movie soon. Tim
Wirth and I have already done a video
review on the first Holy Ghost movie.
Holy Ghost Reborn
(Movie) a Darren Wilson Film - Reviewed by
Sandy Simpson, Apologetics Coordination Team,
1/31/16
I stated in the first part of this article this film
is not about preaching the Gospel but about using New
Age techniques to try to get people softened up to
�the Lord�. But any good done in this film has
no eternal value unless followed up with the Gospel
message. Apart from many statements made that
are unbiblical, and in some cases, blasphemous, this
film is leading people into a different version of
�Christianity� what has nothing to do with the true
Church.
The "Weight of Glory"
by Sandy Simpson, 3/3/16
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is
but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory; (KJV) This is both an
incredible source of hope for Christians who are
downtrodden, and a source of escalating heresy in many
churches. It is critical that we understand what Paul
was talking about when he wrote the phrase �weight of
glory�. Jacob Prasch has repeated this phrase in
his teachings over the years � �A text, out of
context, in isolation from co-text is always a
pre-text." A huge problem today is that
individuals and movements tend to yank verses out of
their context and build a cult of heresy around
them. This is called eisegesis or plugging your
own ideas into the Scriptures instead of exegesis,
gaining understanding and interpretation of the Bible
by studying it in context and in the scope of the
whole written Word.
The Ugly
Side of Diaprax
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There has been a concerted effort by
the false teachers from many movements inside the
church such as Word of Faith, New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR)/Latter Rain, World Gathering on
Indigenous People and Emerging Church among others
to diaprax people into thinking that the church has
been ineffective until they came along with their
new and improved ideas on how to take over the
world. This is always a feature of the
Hegelian Dialectical process put into action by
praxis, thus diaprax. In order to form a new
paradigm or worldview the leadership of these
movements must vilify orthodox Biblical
Christianity.

Generic
and Specific
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In my article �Blasphemizing the
Bible� (http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/blasphemizingthebible.html)
I give a number of examples of how a lot of modern
Bible translation societies are putting the names of
�supreme beings� in the Bible in the place of God or
YHWH. In this article I'm going to examine two of
the excuses they make for making those substitutions
in the Bible in many hundreds of different languages
today.
(1) They claim that God has many
different names and therefore they think they are
justified in putting the names of various gods of
various cultures in Bibles, as long as they are
considered �supreme beings�.
(2) The second excuse they give is
that the names of the �gods� they are placing in the
Bible are generic terms for God, like the words
�God�, �Theos�, �Dios� and �Elohim�. By generic I
mean a word that can be used for any deity whether
of the one true God or other false gods who claim to
be God.
I will go through both of these
excuses and show that they are both unbiblical,
therefore the Bibles they have translated with names
of other gods in them, or names they claim are
generic, prove that they have �blasphemized� those
Bibles.

Servant Authority
by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The world system has always been a
"top down" structure, starting at the apex of the
pyramid and going down to the bottom. In kingdoms we
have the king at the top, then the princes, common
people, slaves. In a democracy we have the President
at the top, the VP, the Sec. of State on down to the
citizens. In business we have the CEO at the top,
upper management, lower management, office workers
and the janitors. Unfortunately, sometime in
the third century, the church started to have a top
down structure. This is also when the church began
to be in error. The church of Rome began to have a
"top down" structure that started with the pope,
then cardinals, then bishops, then priests, then the
people. Well, what about that? Eph 4:11
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be
prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be
pastors and teachers, This all sounds like a
"top down" structure. But the problem is that people
have not seen an important fact about these gifts of
the Spirit -- man looks at function and title, God
looks at aim and goal! Read on. Eph.
4:12 to prepare God's people for works of
service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.
These are not gifts given for title or to give
people job descriptions. They are given because
there are people out there who need our help! The
church needed the Apostles. They were the ones who
were the foundation of the church. They were the
ones who saw Jesus in the flesh and were taught by
Him personally. They wrote the New Testament
Scriptures. Though the gifts of apostle and prophet
are different today than in biblical times, the gift
of evangelism, pastoring, teaching and others are
still the same. A person who is an evangelist does
not just have a title so he can rule over people.
The reason that he has the gift to be an evangelist
is so that he can tell others the good news. Why do
we have pastors? Are they supposed to rule the
church and get everyone to support them and bow to
their demands? No. They are to serve the church by
helping people to come to a fuller knowledge of
Jesus Christ, to equip the saints to become more
like Jesus every day.
The true structure of Christianity is
symbolized as an inverted pyramid!

The Key to being able to teach
both Predestination and Free Will by Sandy
Simpson, 5/14/16
When I was in college one of the favorite all night
jam sessions was the Predestination vs. Free Will
debate. We would stay up all night and never
resolve the problem. Though I was a Christian I
was somewhat immature at the time and had not learned
the principle of not imposing manmade constructs on
the Scriptures (eisegesis) but rather letting the
Bible interpret itself (exegesis) since it consists of
the Word of God as breathed by the Holy Spirit (2 Tim.
3:16) through the prophets, Apostles and of course,
the Word incarnate, Jesus Christ. There is a
famous saying that states: "A text, out of context, in
isolation from co-text is always a pre-text." It
certainly was a �pretext� for our lengthy useless
arguments on this subject.

I want to preface this study of church history by

brief descriptions of the genesis of world religions
not related to Christianity. Second are the
dates and brief descriptions of the beginnings of
movements that call themselves �Christian� but are
really false Christianity because they teach against
one or more of the core doctrines of the Church.
Lastly I will deal with the dates and descriptions of
the True Church through history to show that God has

Christians who
�turn away� by Sandy Simpson, 6/22/16
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for all this her treacherous
sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole
heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. And the LORD
said unto me, �The backsliding Israel hath justified
herself more than treacherous Judah.� (KJV) Israel had
turned away from the Lord and had gone after the gods
of Canaan, namely Baal and Asherah. Because
Israel had prostituted herself with false gods in
worshipping the polytheistic gods that started at
Babel, God had declared He was divorcing Israel and
would send them into exile until they again returned
to the true God. But Judah prided itself in doing what
God had commended as they had Jerusalem and the
Temple. They disdained Israel for setting up
altars to Baal and Asherah poles on high hills.
Yet God was not fooled by Judah�s pretence. In
the KJV it says they were not worshipping God with
their whole heart but �feignedly�.

"Mistake" or
"Sin"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Today we often hear the word
"mistake" coming from pulpits, and especially in
defense of false teaching and false
prophesy. "Cut him some slack! He just
made some mistakes". "We all make mistakes,
so don't judge lest you be judged." We even
hear the word "mistakes" being substituted for the
word "sin" in many presentations of what I have
termed "Gospel Lite" today. So is it proper to
substitute the word "mistake" for the word
"sin"? We'll look at the problem of one word
"mistakenly" being used for the other.

What
if
we are proven wrong on this issue? by Sandy
Simpson, 7/5/16
What issue am I talking about? Most Bible scholars
today teach that God does not create homosexuals, that
there cannot be a correlation between genetics and
homosexuality and that it is clearly only a choice of
lifestyle. I have believed for many years that they are
only partly correct. Although it is true that God
did not create certain people to be homosexuals and
lesbians and that lifestyle is a choice, I also believe
it will be found after more testing that there IS a
genetic predisposition to homosexuality. What if
homosexuality is proven at a later time to have a
foundation in the genetic makeup of a person? Does that
make God responsible to creating homosexuality?
Prophets for
profit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do
not peddle the word of God for profit. On the
contrary, in Christ we speak before God with
sincerity, as those sent from God.
There are many false teachers on TV
these days who peddle the word of God for
profit. They make promises of healing that do
not come true by claiming if they are given a
financial gift the person will receive healing and
riches. When what they promised does not
happen the person is blamed that they did not have
enough faith. This often destroys the faith of
people who fall into the traps of these snake oil
salesmen. I have no problem with people
charging for their materials if they cost to be
produced, even though it is hoped that when a person
cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will
receive them free of charge. But the charges
levied on people for conferences and speaking
engagements is often excessive. A minister of
God can ask for support and deserves it if they are
being diligent in their study and proclamation of
the Word. But experiences and feelings often
come with a price today and that is not right.

Audio Added! Almost Saved by
Sandy Simpson, 11/29/16 - You can get the audio version
of this article here.
There are many so-called “Christians�? today who are
clearly “almost saved�? by their testimonies and/or
actions. But to be “almost saved�? is to be
completely lost. A person who is drowning and
almost saved drowns. A woman who is almost
pregnant is not pregnant. King Agrippa said,
“You are almost persuading me to be a Christian (Acts
26:28)�? but being almost persuaded is not enough to
be saved.

Did God Put
"Eternity In Their Hearts"
or "The
World In Their Hearts"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In the introduction to Mike
Oppenheimer's and my book "Idolatry In Thier
Hearts" I exposed the fact that Don Richardson
pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier Hearts" to
use as his book title from it's context in Ecc.
3:11. He did this to support his thesis,
which actually contradicts the second part of that
verse, where it states that man cannot fathom what
God has done. Richardson, rather, sets forth what
has become the foundation for the false teachings
of the WCGIP, YWAM, a number of Bible translation
societies and the Emerging Church ... the
propostion that men from Gentile cultures have
always been seeking God and that Gentile cultures
were already worshipping the true God before
missionaries came with the Gospel.
But as I further investigated this
verse I found that Richardson even ignored the
true meaning of the FIRST half of the verse in
favor of a few translations that use the phrase
"eternity in their hearts".

A
Short History of Dominionism by Sandy
Simpson, 7/29/17
The influences that have coalesced into the modern
form of Dominion Theology are many and varied.
Not all had the same exact interpretation of what
Dominionism is, but they all agreed that the mandate
of the Church is to take over the governments and
every other aspect of life on this planet to prepare
for the return of Christ. First of all,
the Catholic Church, almost from the beginning,
attempted to establish dominance over the world of the
Middle Ages through their “Holy Roman Empire�?. They
continue this tradition through the many varied
Templar societies such as the Knights of Malta, whose
membership includes Rick Joyner, Paul Cain and Jerry
Boykin and who continue to swear fealty to the pope.
Following are some quotes by those organizations and
individuals who espouse Dominionism ...

Glitter Christians.
This is a name I came up with for
people attending and teaching at Oral Roberts
University in the 70s. Even back then I had
come to realize that their way of representing
Christianity was not in line with the
Scriptures. At that time I didn’t know that
Oral Roberts was carrying on the Word of Faith
traditions of New Thought practitioners such as
Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Essex Kenyan,
Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuler, and many other
false teachers of the time. Though I didn’t
know anything about Word of Faith or New Thought
then I knew that the way they were representing
Christianity was just not right somehow. Their
desire to portray Christians as rich, beautiful,
healthy, perfect, and virtually sinless (holiness)
went directly against the example of Jesus, the
Apostles and the early church.

The Last Ride by
Sandy Simpson, 11/4/17
I was listening to a song the other day and began to
see a correlation between that song, which is about
ending a man/woman relationship, to what the Bible
tells us happened between God and Israel (Jeremiah
3:8) and will also happen in the end times between God
and those who profess to be Christians but are fallen
away (Revelation 3:16). The only difference is
that God took the children of Israel back (Psalm 14:7)
and did not permanently divorce them, since God hates
divorce (Malachi 2:16). But in the end the
apostate churches will be spit out of His mouth
(Revelation 3:16).

Museum of
the Bible Commentary by Sandy Simpson,
1/4/18
Let me start out by stating that I am all in favor of
a museum that shows the historicity of the
Bible. If it weren’t for some of the people
involved this would be a valuable resource. But
I don't support giving credibility to Rick Warren and
his friends in support of the Museum of the
Bible. Warren has become the de facto spokesman
for this effort. It is great they are featuring
texts and archeological information about the
Bible. But I believe Warren is doing this to set
himself up as an authority on the Bible when he is
actually guilty, on many counts, of not only
disobeying it but of twisting it out of all
recognition. False teachers and those who hang
with them are constantly on the lookout for projects
that will legitimize them and make them look like they
are biblical leaders in Christendom people should
follow. But true biblical leaders are those who
do not teach heresy and do not stand up for false
prophesies. Though the Museum of the Bible could
do a world of good for those lacking an understanding
of the Bible and its place in history, it is
also propping up some questionable “Christians�? who
are behind it and those compromisers who stand with
them.

What is That
verse doing There? by Sandy Simpson,
1/12/18
I want to preface this article by saying that there
are elements of eschatology that are debatable among
true believers, in particular the Rapture. The
debate among Premillennial Rapturists (Preterists,
Amillennialists and Postmillenialists are in grave
error) has long been a topic of conversation. I
am not stating that my view is the only one among true
Christians. What I am saying is that the
presence of the following verse in the narrative of
Revelation is curious and needs careful consideration.
Revelation 16:15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief.
Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his
clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and men
will not see his shame.�?)
Real Revival by
Sandy Simpson, 2/15/18
Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return, so that your
sins may be wiped away, in order that times of
refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
There has been so much hype of “revival�? in our
modern day that it is easy to forget the true biblical
criteria and definition of revival. Revival
cannot be brought about by signs and wonders or laying
on of hands to transfer apostolic or prophetic
anointings. In fact there is no such thing in
the Bible.

Will the
Real Blasphemers Please Stand Up?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This subject is one so serious that I
do it with great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless,
because I get so many e-mails accusing me and other
Bereans of blasphemy, among other serious charges, I
felt it was necessary to clear up some issues on
this topic. Because of my stand for the truth of
God's Word juxtaposed against all the false teaching
that is going on today, I think it is important to
do a quick study on what blasphemy is actually all
about from a biblical standpoint. There are
many references to blasphemy in the Bible and from
them we can find out how and why that term was used.
You will see that the word
"blasphemy" in the Scriptures is the very definition
of what the false teachers and false prophets are
doing today!

Bad seeds from a bad tree yield bad

Matthew 7:17 Likewise every
good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree

sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as
sin entered the world through one man, and death
through sin, and in this way death came to all
men, because all sinned
We need to have the bad seed
destroyed and replaced with good seed.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong

New
Important Book!
Dominionism!
How
Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp &
Sandy Simpson
Preface
By Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work
are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner
entitled “"Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change
The World". In contrast to this specious claim
we have titled this book “Dominionism! How
Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches�?.
We think that is far more in keeping with what we
will present in this series of articles and essays
on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already
been changed by accepting the false teachings that
constitute Dominionism. This started decades
ago under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain
theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic
Church (RCC). The attempt of Constantine to
protect Christians from being persecuted, since he
claimed he had become one of them, turned out to
begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It
wasn’t long before corrupt church officials began to
try to seize power all over Europe and beyond as the
“Holy Roman Empire�?. The Reformation itself
was a reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had
gone to take control over the Scriptures, the
nations, the kingdoms, and the people for financial
gain. They sold indulgences, promising those
who came up with enough money a much shorter time in
Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used
today on what has been loosely called “Christian
television�? by the sale of trinkets and promises of
healing, financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in
Dominionism. If it were true that the Church
needs to take over the planet, then we would be
seeing the unstoppable plans of God’s physical
Kingdom unfolding. But we do not. All we
see are failed prophecies, empty edicts and
declarations coming from false apostles and false
prophets. They love to fool Christians with
talk of the “kingdom�? when it is clear they are
talking about a different “kingdom�?; a Kingdom Now
not a Kingdom come. Jesus taught us to pray:
“Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven�?. The implication is that we are
to be about building His spiritual Kingdom while
praying for and expecting His physical Kingdom to
come. The only way we can do that is to
continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not
attempt to rule where God has not given the Church
the authority to rule. Jesus will do that when
He returns. If we go off on the tangent the
Dominionists want us to go, we will not only miss
out on the blessings of His Kingdom to come, but may
well be deserving of judgment.
This book is online and available as
a download at this time for $15. The printed
version will be available in about a month and will
be $20. each.

Occult
Practices in the Churches - How the occult has
been fully integrated into many Christian lives
and fellowships by Sandy Simpson,
6/7/18
The Bible is quite clear about occult
practices. Neither Israel nor the Church is to
have anything to do with the way the world tries to
gain secret knowledge. The Gnostics were and are
known for promoting new revelation that is either
loosely tied to Scripture taken out of context or not
at all. The Israelites seeking information from
the dead or in omens were judged harshly by the Lord
who had warned them numerous times to stay away from
that stuff. Yet due to the influences of
heretical teachers in the New Apostolic Reformation,
Word of Faith, Emergent Church, and the New Age many
have been successful in getting lots of churches and
denominations into occult practices that have been
thinly disguised as “Christian�?. Many of those
who follow these people, I'm sure, have no idea how
far they have strayed into the occult. First I want to
give the dictionary definitions and then Biblical
warnings against these practices. Then I will
give examples in the churches taken mainly from the
ElijahList e-newsletter.

List of Practices Detestable To

“When you enter the land which the Lord your God
gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the
detestable things of those nations. There shall
not be found among you anyone who makes his son or
his daughter pass through the fire, one who
uses divination, one who practices witchcraft,
or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or
one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who
calls up the dead. For whoever does these
things is detestable to the Lord;
and because of these detestable things the Lord your God will
drive them out before you.

A Short
History of Dominionism by Sandy Simpson,
10/9/18
In order to understand where the
modern fusion called “Dominioism�?
comes from, I want to first give you definitions of
Kingdom Now, Dominionism and Reconstructionism.Dominionism
is sparsely defined as follows:
“Dominion Theology (also
known as Dominionism) is a group of Christian
political ideologies that seek to institute a
nation governed by Christians based on their
personal understandings of biblical law. Extents
of rule and ways of achieving governing authority
are varied. For example, Dominion Theology can
includetheonomy, but does not
necessarily involve advocating Mosaiclawas the
basis of government. The label is applied
primarily toward groups of Protestants in the
United States.�? [1]
It is more closely defined this way:
“Dominionism,or
Christian Dominionism is a term coined by social
scientists and popularized by journalists to refer
to a subset of American Christianity that is
conservative, politically active, and believes
that Christians should, and eventually will, take
control of the government. The term is sometimes
used as a “catch-all�? by bloggers to describe any
politically active Christian, but not every
conservative, politically minded Christian is aDominionist. ChristianDominionistsbelieve
that God desires Christians to rise to power
through civil systems so that His Word might then
govern the nation. The belief that “America is a
Christian nation�? is sometimes called “softdominionism�?; the idea
that God wants only Christians to hold government
office and run the country according to biblical
law is called “harddominionism.�? [2]
“HardDominionism�? as it is
called in the above definition, is what C. Peter
Wagner (deceased) of the New Apostolic Reformation
(a term he coined) have been advocating, following
the teachings of the New Order of the Latter Rain
and Reformed Theology “Reconstructionism�?.
The Use of Invective in
Apologetics by Sandy Simpson, 10/16/18
This article is about the use of invective while
attempting to do apologetics or teaching
discernment. Invective is defined as a noun:
insulting, abusive, or highly critical language ie. "he
let out a stream of invective". I admit to using
invective at times in the past. My goal is to stop
that practice and focus on the facts, not attack an
individual’s ability to comprehend. In the
case of Christians, the first thing to consider when
doing apologetics is our mandate to reconcile people to
Christ, no matter who they are. 2 Cor. 5:18-21 Now all
these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry of
reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their
trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the
word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through
us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to
God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf
so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
We must always be cognizant of our duty to not just
“demolish arguments�? for the sake of demolishing them
but to do so with the hope and prayers that the person
teaching falsely will repent and return to Christ.

Ten Questions
For those who Claim the "Supreme
Beings" of the Nations are the True God
by Sandy Simpson
This booklet is taken from this

I have some questions for those of the World
Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP)
adherents such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss (deceased), Terry
LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha KeAkua,
YWAM as well as many in the Emergent Church (EC) ...
the questions arise from their claim that the
"supreme beings" of the nations are all the True
God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. You can read more on this subject in
our book "Idolatry In Their Hearts" or in
the WCGIP
section of my site.
My main question
for them is this: When did ANY of the Patriarchs and
Prophets in the Old Testament and the Apostles or
Jesus Christ in the New Testament EVER claim that
the "supreme beings" of the nations were Elohim/YHWH, the one True
God? Let's look at some examples in the form
of questions and you can check out the source links

You might
be surprised to find out that many of the heresies
of the early centuries are still around today.Many of them have been modified to
some degree, but they are mostly the same unbiblical
heretical ideas.When you toy
around with core doctrines like the Trinity and the
Hypostatic Union, you prove yourself to be a
heretical false teacher. Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which has been is that which will
be, And that which has been done is that which will be
done. So there is nothingnewunderthesun.

Maturity
Training
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Heb. 5:14 But
solid food is for the MATURE, who by
constant use have trained themselves to
distinguish good from evil.
At the
core of maturity in Christ is the issue of
training to be able to distinguish between
good and evil, right and wrong. But in today’s
churches this issue has not only been
downplayed, but actually swept aside.
I run a
website and get hundreds of emails every week.
Since the website deals with apologetics
against false teachers and false prophets,
about half the email I receive is blasting me
for even bringing up the issue. These emails
are from “Christians” who claim I am not
“anointed”, don’t understand the work of the
Holy Spirit, etc. I am forced to remind them
of Hebrews 5 and Ephesians 4 and the biblical
definition of maturity in Christ. Maturity is
not defined as following dynamic speakers,
running after people who claim the ability to
perform signs and wonders, those with wealth,
charismatic teachers with large numbers of
followers, those with name recognition, and
prophets who make wild prophecies. It is
defined simply as training ourselves to know
the difference between good and evil.
Where
do Christians get solid food? From voices in
their heads, intuition, imaginations, flights
of fancy, signs, wonders? No. Solid food is
consumed by feeding on the meat of the written
Word of God.

Can
a Christian be “spoiled”? by Sandy Simpson,

Those
who
try to deconstruct the Trinity by Sandy
Simpson, 5/13/19
These days every core
doctrine of the Church is under extraordinary
attack.One of the most
important core doctrines is that of the Trinity, the
Triune God …“God is one God
eternally existent in Three Persons, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit”. Another way of stating it is “God is
one "What" and three "Whos" with each "Who"
possessing all the attributes of Deity and
personality”.I am going to lay
out the general case first against any teachings
that intentionally or unintentionally try to
deconstruct who God is, in particular who Jesus
Christ is.I will then move on
to a few specific cases and answer their assertions
individually.
This book was written by my mother and is about my
family's experience as missionaries in
Micronesia. Juanita went to be with the Lord in
August of 2018. This book has been a blessing to
many people around the world and I want to share it
with you. - Sandy Simpson
This is the
story of a young woman who goes to the ends of
the Earth with her pastor husband and two small
children. While describing the hardships of
living in a remote village on a remote Pacific
Island in the 60's, it also gives us a vision of
the joy the family experienced as well. The
heart of the book is the story of how the author
survives the death of her husband and goes on to
serve God and the Micronesian people in her own
right.This book reveals a woman of
great faith and courage. In addition, the book is
well written and a pleasure to read.Having
met the author, I will add that there are
thousands of people throughout Micronesia who
love her and who have benefited by her
faithfulness and commitment over the years. Read
the book and get to know this wonderful woman.

How To Find A
Good Church
by Sandy Simpson, 2003
Here’s how to find a good
church. What you need to find is a church that
not only has orthodox doctrinal statements but
teaches, both explicitly and implicitly, in line
with the core doctrines of the Faith. These
are Bible-believing Christ-centered churches that
are balanced in their theology. Be sure to
test all churches before you become involved.
It is acceptable to get involved with a house church
or Bible study as long as there is someone who has
the gift of teaching there to lead the study of
God’s Word.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own
assembling together, as is the habit of some, but
encouraging one another; and all the more as you see
the day drawing near.
The Christian life is not one to be
lived alone. Trust me; I have sympathy for
those who have been spiritually injured by false
churches, false prophets, false teachers and false
apostles. It is often a long road back from
the diaprax of heresy. But to undo the
brainwashing you will need help, especially from
those who are already ahead of you on your journey
back. The first century church was known for
the following:
Acts 2:42 They were continually
devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to
fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
This is a good gauge to tell if you
are involved in an effective assembly of believers,
no matter how small. Remember that the first
century churches were in homes. In my
experience smaller churches are much better at doing
the above and more. Avoid mega churches.

"Take
away from me the noise of your songs” by
Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 “I
hate, I reject your festivals, nor do I delight in your
solemn assemblies. “Even though you offer up to Me
burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not
accept them; and I will not even look at the peace
offerings of your fatlings. “Take away from Me the noise
of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of
your harps. “But let justice roll down like waters and
righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Did you
present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the
wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? You also
carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images,
the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.
Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond
Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of
hosts. When I first reread this passage in Amos, a few
things struck me. First of all the Lord is
bringing judgment on Israel for carrying on religious
ceremony without true dedication to the Lord. They
sing songs and present their offerings while harboring
idols. I was reminded of how the Lord must view
the heretical apostate mega church celebrations of
today. There is a lot of pomp and circumstance,
yet little or no obedience to the Word of God. The
Lord does not look favorably upon worship of that type,
no matter the hype, no matter the noise, no matter the
show. He actually “hates” it.
The
Forgotten
Facts about Michael Brown of Brownsville by
Sandy Simpson, 7/8/19
Dr. Brown has been making the rounds of evangelical
church gatherings and conferences presenting himself as
an authority on Judaism and the truth of Scripture.His latest conference, where he is
listed first as a plenary speaker, is the NCCA
(National Conference on Christian Apologetics) put on
by Southern Evangelical Seminary (SBC) and held at
Calvary Church in Charlotte. Looks good except for one
glaring problem. Michael Brown. This guy
has been inserting himself in all kinds of apologetics
and Jewish studies conferences. He carries with
him an unrepenant participation in the Brownsville
"Outpouring" that split hundreds of churches worldwide
with the false teachings of the Latter Rain. He
lied to Holly Pivec of Spirit of Error by saying there
was no such thing as the New Apostolic
Reformation. He is a clear wolf in sheep's
clothing. There are some good knowledgable
people particiapting in this conference but I would
not spend a dime to hear his diaprax. Please
warn others about this.
Upgrade Your Old
Hymns For The New Paradigm!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
HUMOR: Time for a rewrite of the
old hymns. In this day and age of Third Wave
revival movements and Word-Faith dominion, the old
hymns just aren't cutting it anymore. Not
only are they old fashioned musically, but the
lyrics are, for the most part, particularly
depressing. They talk of sin, death, repentance,
the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole host of
other disgusting subjects. There are also
too many lyrics in them, frankly, which takes away
from the "worship" atmosphere. Repetitiveness is
what we need, not dead doctrinal concepts. The old
hymns are just too biblical. Give us a beat to
move our feet, not concepts to move our hearts and
minds!
Here is a list of some hymns that
could be "upgraded" to meet the criteria of the
Third Wave, Word-Faith, Latter Rain, Manifest Sons
Of God, New Apostolic Reformation. This list
is by no means complete. If you don't
recognize the hymns mentioned perhaps it would be

Almost Saved
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
“To be almost saved is to be
totally lost.” – Adrian Rogers
There are many so-called
“Christians” today who are clearly “almost saved” by
their testimonies and/or actions.But
to be “almost saved” is to be completely lost.A person who is drowning and
almost saved drowns.A woman
who is almost pregnant is not pregnant.King Agrippa
said, “You are almost persuading me to be a
Christian (Acts 26:28)” but being almost persuaded
is not enough to be saved.
The word “almost” means “very nearly”,
“not quite.” In light of this we may conclude that
to come close to the target, or “almost” hit it,
means to completely miss the mark. (Shalem Evangelical Church
Bush Hall Yard Gap, St. Michael)

"Silence
the noise of your songs"
by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 “I hate, I reject your
festivals, nor do I delight in your solemn
assemblies. “Even though you offer up to Me
burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not
accept them; and I will not even look at the peace
offerings of your fatlings. “Take away from Me the
noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the
sound of your harps. “But let justice roll down like
waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing
stream. Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain
offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house
of Israel? You also carried along Sikkuth your king
and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which
you made for yourselves. Therefore, I will make you
go into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose
name is the God of hosts. When I first reread this
passage in Amos, a few things struck me. First
of all the Lord is bringing judgment on Israel for
carrying on religious ceremony without true
dedication to the Lord. They sing songs and
present their offerings while harboring idols.
I was reminded of how the Lord must view the
heretical apostate mega church celebrations of
today. There is a lot of pomp and
circumstance, yet little or no obedience to the Word
of God. The Lord does not look favorably upon
worship of that type, no matter the hype, no matter
the noise, no matter the show. He actually
“hates” it.

Jesus Cares
for You
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based o
n this article.
Read
Passage: John 6:1-15
The
story
of the feeding of the 5000 is found in all the
gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. When
something is repeated in the Bible it means that
it is important and is something we must try to
understand. There is often a deeper meaning in
sentences or stories that are repeated.
In
this same story repeated in Mark 6:34 it says:
"When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had
compassion on them, because they were like sheep
without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many
things."
One of the main things that Jesus is... is
compassionate. He cares for His people. He was
compassionate then and He is still compassionate
today. Jesus came and saw the needs of the people.
So He did two things. He met their physical need
of hunger for bread, and He also met their
spiritual hunger for the bread of life. As Jesus
told us in John ... He is the bread of life. The
Bible, the Word of God, being the word of the
Father and the Son, is also the bread of
life. Jesus is the living example of the
Word as it also says in John "The Word was made
flesh and lived among us".

(702) Enoch by Sandy Simpson,
10/13/21 I was thinking
about Enoch the other day and what it must have
meant to the Lord to have someone in the Ancient
World actually spend time with Him. So many
had walked away after Adam and Eve stopped walking
with the Lord, and Cain departed for the land of
Nod. Apparently, Cain, who fathered the
first Enoch, established a city named after his
son but he and his descendants did not follow the
Lord but instead followed human pursuits and
became one of the sources of violence and sexual
dalliance with demons that caused God to send the
flood.
Pre
Millennial and Post Millennial Doctrines
Do Not Mix
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on
this
article.
Many Christians today (having allowed
themselves to be diapraxed by false teachers
on TV, in books, in seminars and on tape) have
begun to accept a mixture of Pre Mil and Post
Mil doctrines. Many claim they still
hold to a Pre Trib Rapture (or another Pre Mil
scenario) and at the same time would claim
that Christians are in a great end times
revival, that "Transformation" is taking place
all over the world, and that our mandate is to
retake dominion over the whole world including
its businesses, social agendas and political
arenas (a Post Mil scenario). But what
many "Christians" today do not realize
is: the mixture they have accepted is
oxymoronic.

There are two kingdoms being
taught in many churches today. Teaching about
one of the kingdoms is on the decline while
the other is being promoted all over the
place. I am warning Christians that they
need to check out who is using the word
"kingdom", the books they have been reading
and recommend on building "the kingdom", the
people they have been hanging out with at
conferences, and what they mean by "the
kingdom".

How acceptable is the
Occult in American society? by Sandy
Simpson, 12/31/21 - In the latest AARP Magazine
of December 2021/January 2022 they ran a
“Special Report” called “Your Dream Retirement”
byRhonda Kaysen. The page is called “Live
by your own rules” with a byline that reads
“These creative and ofteninnovative housing
approaches show that anything goes in the
pursuit of your best life”. A number of
55+ villages are featured. I was frankly
appalled to read about one in our area called

From Archived Biblestudy To Live Is Christ, To
Die Is Gain! Phil. 1:20-30 by Sandy
Simpson, 1/2/22
How many believers can truthfully say that
their whole reason for living is Christ, and to
die is gain? What I see more often
would be more like: for me to live is gain, and
to die is Christ. Do we truthfully
live to serve Christ instead of our own sinful
appetites? Paul was persecuted to the
point where I am sure he would have preferred to
die on numerous occasions.
Leviathan
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on
this article.
This
creature that existed, and may yet exist, is
used as a description of the might and
power of the enemy.
Isaiah
27:1 In that day the LORD will punish Leviathan the
fleeing serpent, With His fierce
and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the
twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in
the sea. (NASB)
Speaking of the “day of the
Lord”, when the Lord comes back again to rule
and judge the earth, Isaiah says that the Lord
will punish Leviathan the dragon. Satan
is likened to leviathan, a serpent, and he is
said to live in the sea.
Revelation
13:1 And the
dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then
I saw a beast coming up out of the sea,
having ten horns and seven heads, and on his
horns were ten
diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous
names. (NASB)
Again the dragon comes out of the
sea, which is symbolic of the nations of the
world, but perhaps is also tied to a literal
meaning. He
has multiple heads which are symbolic of the
heads of the nations of the end times, but he
is also said to have multiple heads before the
symbolism of the nations of the revived
Babylon come into being, as recorded in Ps.
74:14 and Job.

The
New Powerless Gospel
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on
this article.
TI have
been challenged lately to think again about
what the Gospel message is all about.
This has come as a result of hearing what I
considerto be, at the very least, "gospel
lite" and at the most no gospel at all being
presented by a number of neo-evangelicals,
Third Wavers and outrightheretics. The
interesting thing is that many seem to be
preaching the same message. What
is most intriguing is that false teachers like
Benny Hinn, ecumenicals, and even some
preachers I would considerto be orthodox in
their theology are preaching a "gospel" that
is very similar.The question is: Is this
new gospel message really the Gospel at all?

Classic
The
Attack Of The Enemy On Churches by
Sandy Simpson, 3/10/15
So much heresy is entering the churches these
days. As you would suspect, sometimes it
is due to a pastor attending a conference or
reading a book and becoming diapraxed with
unbiblical ideas. He then starts to
weave those ideas into his messages and begins
to invite speakers to the church who expound
on those ideas. Then when confronted by
someone in the church who has reservations
about the new stuff being taught, they are
told to not talk about it and just go along
with the program. If that person does
not they are ostracized, slander behind their
back, and often told to leave (which is what
they should do in any case). But my
observation is that it is not only the pastor
who causes unbiblical changes to influence a
church. Often the pastor is blissfully
unaware of influences coming into his
church. They often come in through (1)
the worship team (2) women’s groups (3)
bookstore (4) children’s programs (5)
interdenominational prayer efforts and (6)
relief and mission organizations. If
unchecked this type of infiltration is much
more subtle and can become deeply rooted.
5/26/22 - Are you “woke” or
“awake”? by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/22
Romans 13:11 Do this, knowing the time,
that it is already the hour for you to awaken
from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us
than when we first believed. Now that we have
the “woke” culture bearing down on everyone in
the world, without regard to your right of
belief and self-expression, I thought it might
be appropriate to compare this overbearing
current worldview with the worldview of God as
expressed in His word.
11/13/22 - #sorrynotsorry
by Sandy Simpson, 11/13/22

taking over the hearts and minds of the youth
today.

- Newest
Heresies by Sandy Simpson,
12/20/22
You
might be surprised to find out that many
of the heresies of the early centuries are
still around today. Many
have been modified to some degree, but
they are mostly the same unbiblical
heretical ideas. First,
let’s look at the old heresies, who are
still teaching them, then move on to newer
heretical teachings.
Three Fallacies Of Third
Wave Spiritual Warfare Teachings
by Sandy Simpson
This
DVD is a message based on this article.
When so-called Christians
employ Biblical pagan methods to rid
themselves of demons, they end up giving
the enemy an opportunity to deceive them
and a foothold in their lives. When
Israel disobeyed the Lord's command to
come down to Jerusalem and worship Him in
the temple under the Law, and instead
chose to set up altars in the high places,
the result was that they ended up
worshiping demons. They thought they
were worshiping God, but ended up
worshiping Baal and Ashtoreth. You
cannot live a life glorifying to the Lord
unless you obey Him.

The Duties of
Christian Leadership
by Sandy Simpson
This
DVD is a message based on this
article.
Christians, and especially
Christian leadership, are called to be salt
and light in a dark world.
Matt.
5:13-16 "You are the salt of the
earth. But if the salt loses its
saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is no longer good for anything, except
to be thrown out and trampled by men. "You
are the light of the world. A
city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither
do people light a lamp and put it under a
bowl. Instead they put it on its stand,
and it gives light to everyone in the
house. In the same way, let your light
shine before men, that they may see your
good deeds and praise your Father in
heaven.
When the Lord tells
us to be salt and light, He states both the
positive and the negative. That is the
way with all Scripture. We can’t just
take the positive and be done with the
subject. We have to consider all the
ramifications of being salt and light.
Salt is used to season food and make it
taste good. It was and still is used
as a preservative. In the same way
Christians are to be salt in the
world. Without the witness of Christ,
without standing for the truth, life is
ultimately tasteless and rotten.
Anyone here who was a sinner for any length
of time without the Savior knows what I am
talking about. But the flip side is
that salt can lose its saltiness.
Christians can lose their saltiness by
diluting the Gospel message to the point
where it is useless. Let me give you
an example of a washed out Gospel often
preached in churches today.

NEW
BOOK!
Reverse Paradigm Shift
by Sandy Simpson
We live
in a topsy-turvy world of opposing
ideas.
It is easy to get lost and
overwhelmed. We
as Christians often don’t realize how
much we have been diapraxed by the
world, the flesh and the devil. Our
paradigm has been altered to such a
degree that, without the solid
foundation of Scripture, we are often
set adrift without the anchor God has
provided us. Our
paradigm is our worldview, our
understanding of reality. Without
the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the
written eternal Word, we really have no
hope of understanding reality, our
cultures, or our lives. I
have written this book to clue the
reader into some of the issues that
surround the modern born-again believer
and how to reverse the shift that has
exponentially changed our perspective in
some cases. Fortunately,
in the foreknowledge of our Lord, He
provided us with a roadmap to navigate
our fallen world. We
don’t need a new map, as Emergent Church
advocates claim. We
need the tried and true map of the ages. There
is “nothing new under the sun”. There
have always been false prophets and
false teachers who are there by the will
of the enemy to mislead and ultimately
destroy the faith of many. We
are clearly living in the Apostasy
foretold in the Bible that has been
growing preceding the appearance of the
Antichrist. We
need to carefully test ourselves to be
sure we are in the Faith, and then hold
on to the hope we have in Christ.

What
is the “He Gets Us” campaign? by Sandy
Simpson, ACT, 2/4/23
There is a new campaign called “He Gets Us”
presenting a false Jesus. It is funded to
the tune of $1 billion and promotes a “Woke”
Jesus. A $20 million ad buy will be spent on
ads during the Superbowl. Following the money and
backers leads to organizations such as Servant
Christian Foundation #1, whose donors remain
anonymous. However, this organization’s
website is linked to The Church of the Servant #2
and The Seattle School of Theology &
Psychology #3.
Giants
by Sandy Simpson, 1/1/24
My conclusions are based on research I have been
doing. You may disagree with my conclusions
but there are some facts that are beyond dispute
because they are enumerated in the Biblical
accounts. There were giants called Nephalim
in the Ancient World before the Flood and also
after the Flood. The Biblical account of David and
Goliath is proven by his spearheads and body armor
being found by archeologists in a dig in Gath.
(Source) I am also basing this article on the
belief that Nimrod was a Nephilim and had sexual
relations with his mother in order to attempt to
create more giants, instead creating a child named
Tammuz. God called Nimrod a “Mighty Hunter”
which is analogous to His calling the Nephilim
“mighty men of renoun” in the Ancient World. A
ziggurat was built at Babel for Nimrod and
Semiramis which was likely made possible with help
from Nimrod both physically and paranormally.
Carved figures of Nimrod show he was much taller
than normal humans.
The subject of free
will as created by God is easy to prove,
regardless of false arguments by Calvinists and
Pelagians/Armenians alike. Let’s start at
the beginning, before the creation of the world.
Drag Queens Save The
World? by Sandy Simpson, 7/ 10/24
The irony of their claims is not lost on me.
The latest program on drag queens is called
“RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars”. Their teaser
theme song says, “Drag Queens Save The
World.” The fact is that the featured
transexuals/cross dressers are frightening.
Biblical Genesis account vs. the Gilgamesh story. Gilgamesh
was the ruler of Uruk and assembler of the Epic of
Gilgamesh about himself and his exploits. He was a
giant. By
modern measurements, Gilgamesh (allegedly) stood
5.5 metres tall (approx. 18 feet). ( https://uniavisen.dk/en/gilgamesh-the-4000-year-old-giant-who-speaks-to-our-times/)
The knowledge of giants from archeological finds
has been suppressed in the past few centuries,
especially by the Smithsonian, that has attempted
to round up every giant skeleton found in North
America for instance, presumably to store in the
warehouse at the Smithsonian ( https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/22/us/smithsonian-apologizes-racial-brain-collection-cec/index.html). I
believe the reason for this is that scientists do
not want this information in the public square as
it defies their views of evolution and genetics
and tends to prove the accounts in the Bible to be
true.
Though, as born-again
believers, we are set on a path of progression to
holiness and maturity to which we must hold (1
Thes. 2:15, 5:21, 2 Tim. 1:15), we are also called
to come away from the world, the flesh, the devil,
false teachers and false prophets.
Unfortunately, many modern churches avoid mature
discernment topics dealing with distancing
ourselves from false teaching and heresies.
In their bid to accentuate the positive they
neglect the consequences of not separating
ourselves from sin in its many forms.
If you are a
Christian (follower of Christ) who is truly born
again you will heed the warnings in the Bible to
mark and avoid “churches” that proclaim false
teachings, false prophecies and promote worldly
unbiblical lifestyles and experiences.
