Amos 3:7

Can mysticism lead to God?  Author: by Richard Bennett (former Catholic priest)  Mysticism is an attempt to gain ultimate knowledge of God by a direct experience that bypasses the mind. The strong influence of Catholic mysticism has helped immensely to transform the New Age Movement from being merely a counter-culture sub-culture to becoming a new source of spiritual vision for the world. Catholic mysticism has very effectively and subtly invaded many facets of life without being recognized or critically examined. (continue reading…)

Here at Amos37 we recognize that few people have been prepared for today to ministrer like Ed Decker, founder of Saints Alive, was a Mormon for 20 years of his adult life. He was a member of the Melchizedek priesthood, a Temple Mormon and active in many church positions. Through a crisis in his life, Ed met the real Jesus and his life was changed forever. An active author, speaker and evangelist, Ed has brought the light of Biblical truth to uncountable thousands of those lost in spiritual darkness. Today, the work of Saints Alive Ministries has expanded worldwide and includes ministry to other groups such as the Masonic Lodge.  (continue reading…)

Doctrines of the WoF Movement: Positive Confession,Substance of Faith,Little gods Doctrine,the Fall,Jesus Christ  are covered in A Call for Discernment is not intended as a personal attack on anyone, it is simply, as the name implies, a call to the church for discernment. It would be easy to make the assumption that this is an anti-charismatic seminar. Such is not the case. When it comes to the fundamental tenets of orthodox Christianity, charismatics are in agreement with me as a Southern Baptist. I am not charismatic, but neither am I anti-charismatic. The Word of Faith Movement, however, does at times denigrate and even deny some of the fundamental, non-negotiable truths of the Christian Faith (as documented in the seminar, especially in Sessions 1 and 2).

By combining signs and wonders with a false Christology that denies the deity of Christ, Johnson has placed his followers in the center of end time deception. Now rather than the one “Anointed One” (Jesus Christ who is unique), there are many “anointed ones” who supposedly can do greater miracles than Jesus. This situation is described in the Bible: “Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour” (1 John 2:18). “Antichrists” as understood from the Greek, are substitute “anointed ones.” In the Bible, all Christians are equally “anointed” by God, and only Jesus specially anointed, i.e., the Messiah.[10] An elite group of specially anointed ones who comprise the “Elijah generation” as taught in Bill Johnson’s Latter Rain theology would qualify as antichrists.

One of the most amazing ironies of Mormonism hinges on its central tenet that it was founded by Joseph Smith, who claimed that he was called of God to re-establish Christ’s true Church on the earth.  The Mormons revere Joseph Smith as a true prophet of God and the holy man upon whom God himself laid this authority to administer God’s people and usher in this last dispensation of time. If his claims to having seen God and Christ and receiving his prophet-hood and authority from them were really true, two very important things would follow.   (continue reading…)

Over the years of this ministry, I have reviewed so many of the LDS books, magazines, documents, articles and pieces of correspondence we have gathered over the years. The material is vastly divergent but through it all is one central theme that leaps from the pages. I guess I would call it the “How could anyone in their right mind believe that??” question.  This is not surprising when you understand that almost every prophecy Joseph Smith uttered failed to come to pass. Yet, over 12 million people place their eternal salvation on the line in their testimony that he was/is the one (continue reading…)

Critical to this belief is the understanding that prophecy is something that you can grow in (learn) as opposed to an outright gift. While the point can be made that you can learn how to use the gift, it remains a gift nonetheless. And one which must be judged. At the Morningstar Church students reportedly sit at tables on the sides of the auditorium and will give you a prophecy (reading) if you ask. Sometimes they miss it, but that’s alright, they are learning. Contrast that with a statement from John Bevere, who in his seminal work on prophecy “Thus Saith the Lord” states that “There is no Junior Holy Spirit.” (continue reading…)

Here at Amos37 we have been following many topics and issues in the Church, apostasy, etc…  One thing that always comes up is the reckless abandonment of the authority of Gods word.  Always.  Today one of the most dangerous movements is Dominionism in all it’s forms from Conservatives to the Signs & Wonders crazy stuff. It in a nutshell presents an inverted and perverted view of the mission of the Church.  It is our hope to expose the error of this for those who are getting sucked into this “MAN CENTERED” doctrine of Dominionism. Some groups hold to a conservative hermeneutic till they get to prophetic passages and then abandon it for an allegorical method.  Prayerfully sort through this series of messages.  It is primarily the issue of man supplanting God and exalting himself.  Our audio series on the Kingdom Parables in Matthew 13 by the Lord Jesus Himself outlines the enemies of the gospel and the timeline.   (continue reading…)

I have been following David Barton of Wallbuilders unholy alliance with Mormon Glen Beck.  First I like Glen’s powerful exposes on the corruption of our present government excesses.  What has troubled me and surprisingly few others is that Glen Beck is being propped up by well meaning people for “Political Expediency” and have in David Barton’s case called Glen Beck a Christian.  Glen openly has stated he is a Mormon and has researched all of Mormonism and gone through the Temple rituals.  This is dangerous!  One Mormonism is and always has been a cult.  See Mormonism Section for extensive information.

Today we look at a list compiled on New Age Terms that have crept into the Church unnoticed by most.  Here is the linkage of buzz words that are now commonly used.  Just because you here one or two used in your Church doesn’t mean it has gone New Age.  However if you here many of these terms being used in the Church Growth model in your Church, you need to get informed and help those who do not understand.  The New Age movement is a dangerous movement that at its core is the original lie.  It is fast becoming the platform for the spiritual formation of the Coming One World Religion.
