The New Apostolic Reformation: What Is It and Where It It Going? (A Book Evaluating the NAR) (Book/ Paperback)

Product Overview

The International Coalition of Apostles headed by C. Peter Wagner is the most influential purveyor of the New Apostolic Reformation, a term coined by Wagner. This organization is really an extension of the New Order of the Latter Rain whose influences and mentors include William Branham, Franklin Hall, the Hawtin brothers, and more recently Bill Hamon, Paul Cain and the Kansas City Prophets. The doctrines of the Latter Rain have influenced most of the televangelists on TV today, and so have crept deceptively into many denominations. The main heretical teachings of the New Order Of The Latter Rain, as ruled in 1949 at the General Council of the Assemblies of God held in Seattle, were as follows:

(1) The restoration of foundational apostles and prophets in the churches.
(2) The teaching and promotion of a transferable impartation or anointings that are passed on "by" the laying on of hands "by" the will of man.
(3) Confession and deliverance from sin to men.
(4) The impartation of spiritual gifts by the laying on of hands such as the gift of languages for missionary service and other "ministry skills".
(5) The extreme and unscriptural practice of imparting or imposing personal leadings by the means of the gifts of utterance, "word of knowledge" or prophecy.
(6) Distortions of scripture interpretations, which are in opposition to teachings and practices generally accepted among the Church.

These doctrines deemed heretical by the Assemblies Of God in 1949, which are now common fare because of the Brownsville 'Revival" and the Third Wave movement, are all being promoted today in the New Apostolic Reformation. This book will expose by quotes from written materials by adherents of the ICA, the false apostles, false prophets and false teachers of the New Apostolic Reformation. A number of the individuals mentioned by name in this video claim to be Bible-believing born again evangelicals. But in reality they are teaching and promoting doctrines that are not only dangerous, but tear down many or all of the core doctrines upon which the Christian Faith is built. Many of those we will examine on this video have fairly decent doctrinal statements they endorse, but by what they are teaching and doing they end up denying the basic doctrines of the Church. We want you to know that we do not hate those who teach heresy or those who follow their teachings, but rather admonish you in love if you have been deceived by teachings that deviate from the basic doctrines of the Faith. The reason for this book is the hope it will help many to come back to a complete faith in Christ and come under the authority of the Word.
