Heresy? What heresy exactly? And how can this be any more or less heretical than any other Protestant movement and who decides that?

“And too much power to be gained. You have no idea of the delusion these so called Christians are under... especially if you understand that their Joel 2 army is the deluded Anti Christ Army that God promises He will send in the End Times to persecute the saints...”

Oh, please. These chumps will never be the Anti-Christ. They’re going to be nothing overall.

“Palin needs to bone up on her apologetics so as to steer clear of this nightmare.”

I think you’re getting overly excited about this.

Dear vlad:

I wish you were right. However, since April when my own charismatic church fell under the delusion and was swept into the apostasy of Lakeland, you would not believe what is going on.

The leaders of this movement have a lot in common with the early Mormons.

They mistake Old Testament ideas of killing unbelievers, bolstered along by the lunatic ravings of their Old Testament styled “Prophets” who hold a magical sway over these people.

I personally think that these charismatics (and I am charismatic myself) have felt like such underdogs in the world, it is a theology of power for their whacked beliefs.

The Lakeland Revival that ended in ignominy this summer is proof of their delusion, though people like me spent weeks — taking off my paid assignments for many many weeks to do it — just to warn the people I love of this deception.

Jesus warns again and again of false prophets and false teachings that go against the Gospel.

It also warns that a one world religious government will be led by someone who does miracles and calls himself Jesus. This is the AntiChrist.

This governmental system will be a theocracy that the Bible says will “kill people in the name of God” because they believe the antiChrist actually is Jesus.

The Bible says that this is the Joel 2 Army. In Joel 2.

It is an army that God “promises He will send” just as He promises He will send “a strong delusion” upon those who no longer love the truth of His Word.

This army will be sent like locusts against the true church in purifying persecution in the last days — the end times when God says “He will have to shorten the time for the sake of the elect”.

I know it sounds conspiratorial. I don't want to fear monger and must guard against it in my own heart, even. But this is a broad network of ignorant charismatics and evangelicals who do not really understand that we are called to carry the Cross to the Lost and God's kingdom IS NOT OF THIS WORLD.

The only one who will “take dominion” of nations and governments in a physical sense is the anti Christ.

So this heresy, which has grown up under unsuspecting charismatic movements, is very dangerous.

As a tag line, the most interesting and phony defense that they always make is that they assume that anyone opposing them are cessatioinists who do not believe in the Pentecostal Holy Spirit gifts of charismatia.

They are being surprised by educated charismatics like myself who have no fear to oppose them head on. They are deceiving the Flock.

The final thing about this prophetic movement of the Joel 2 Army — the “Apostolic Prophetic Cult” is that it is rife with false prophecy.

My question is for them: if normal Christians cannot discern between true and false prophets now, HOW will we discern or distinguish THE False Prophet who the Bible says will herald the Anti Christ?

This is why it is imperative that this Apostolic Prophetic Cult is deconstructed, and debunked and their people de culted.
