I am dedicated to warning people about current trends within Christianity which lead believers and
non believers away from the truth of God’s Word to warning people to preserve the integrity of the
gospel in their churches and homes.

I realize this article is long. However, it may well bring you to a fuller understanding of what is
spiritually happening in the many strange movements that have captured many churches. It is worth
reading. May God bless you as you keep serving Jesus until he returns!

SATAN’S AT WAR WITH THE SAINTS

Page -1-
 The great patriot of America’s War for Independence, Patrick Henry, said, “Bad men
cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation
of free men. It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals,
a corrupt public conscience, are incompatible with freedom.”

They want to build a New World Order of world brotherhood. New Age of eastern meditation and
Humanism are not strangers but relatives - sharing some bonds, rejecting others. Both are anti-Christian
and a part of the New World Order. Remember, Satan uses human agents of change to accomplish is
goals of world dominion.

RENEWED MINDS
Sadly, Christians are falling into the traps of Satan through their trust of wealthy, prominent,
religious men and women who no longer preach Jesus Christ or the Bible. In these last days many
Christians have not had their mind renewed through the Word of God. They have not been sanctified
through the washing of the blood of Jesus. Their faith centers around Christian icons instead of Jesus
Christ and His purpose of giving them salvation to enter into His Kingdom. He never taught us to seek a
kingdom on this earth that is calling all religions to come into religious unity.
So many in the Christian Church have become cold and lukewarm. They have given their minds
over to forms of Better Homes and Garden and Disney World Christianity and lifestyles that are just
seeking after material things and emotional experiences. Jesus is rarely preached. (Rom. 10:17), “So then
faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
If you are listening to preaching that is all about the minister, his or her family experiences, or you
giving to them so that you can get some money to increase your depleted bank account, These preachers
are living sumptuously like kings and queens in multi-million dollar homes while you sit overwhelmed
by debt. I’m telling you, that you are NOT listening to the real gospel. Repent for seeking after the
Father as a sugar daddy instead of the God that sent His Divine Son Jesus to save you from your sins.
Rededicate your life to Jesus and ask Him where you can go to receive the true Gospel.
The Bible warns, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God,” (Rom.
12:2).
ANTICHRIST SPIRIT WORKS IN YOUR MIND
Many are no longer teaching the Word of God with Jesus Christ as the center of the Gospel. It is
the Word of God that renews the mind and brings faith. (Acts 17:11-12), “These were more noble than
those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable
women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.”
Your state of mind will decide where you spend eternity! (Phil 2:5), Let this mind be in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus.”
(Col 2:18), “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of
angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.”
(2 Thess. 2:2-4), “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by
word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any
means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be

Page -2-
revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that
is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
The antichrist spirit works in the mind. The Holy Spirit works in your spirit. People are being
led into a new type of Christianity that works by the power men and women through teaching by the flesh
and emotions. Some are using bewitching spirits to brainwash and control the people. They use the spirit
of mesmerizing the people to produce an "altered state of consciousness" which puts the person
practicing them into direct contact with the spirit world and opens them up to possession by demons. 1
. Working through mass hypnotizing techniques, people are being held spell bound by the spirit of
idolatry by worshiping “Christian stars.” The Devil does not care what or whom you may worship as long
as you do not worship the truth of Jesus that He is the only way back to God or read His real gospel and
follow after the true Spirit of God. When you follow a person or a man instead of the Word of God and
Jesus, you may well find yourself being controlled by a man-made system, then you may well loose your
soul.
(2 Thess. 2:2-4), “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by
word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any
means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that
is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
People’s minds are in a state of confusion because they hear so many voices teaching so many lies
and reading so many new perversions of the Bible. Jesus is not being preached. Only what I call the
gospel of me, you, and I. Worldly spirits have taken over large parts of the Christian church. The spirits
of seduction, delusion and unbelief are ruling. People are in spiritual trouble while dancing, singing and
praising the Lord and languishing in sins of watching evil movies and television, pornography,
fornication, lying, cheating, etc.
No, the Christian mind is not being renewed and is still under the curse and deceptions of the
world system and knows nothing about the spiritual war we are in. His mind still belongs to Satan.
Indeed, much of this warfare is beyond man’s ability to see and influence except through prayer and even
then, only as God’s Spirit gives revelation into the spiritual world. This is a war and in any war there are
casualties on both sides. However in this war, Man has a very special protection from his redeemer. An
interesting passage of scripture shows how God protects his people and how a great spiritual army rides
with those who do God’s will. 2
(Eph 4:23-24), “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man,
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
(Eph. 4:24), [Put on the new man] Get a new nature; for in Christ Jesus-under the Christian
dispensation, neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. Therefore ye
must be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

[Which after God is created in righteousness] Here is certainly an allusion to the erection of
man. Moses tells us, (Gen 1:27), that God created man in his own image; that is, God was the model
according to which he was formed in the spirit of his mind. Paul says here that they should put on the
new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness, or, hosioteeti tees aleetheias, in
the holiness of truth. Both certainly refer to the same thing, and the one illustrates the other. From the
apostle we learn what Moses meant by the image of God; it was righteousness and the truth of holiness.

Page -3-
(See the note at Gen.1:26.) It is not this or the other degree of moral good which the soul is to receive by
Jesus Christ. It is the whole image of God; it is to be formed kata Theon, according to God; the likeness
of the Divine Being is to be traced upon his soul, and he is to bear that as fully as his first father Adam
bore it in the beginning. 3

SPIRIT OF FALSE PROPHETS ~ Purpose Driven Error

The apostle Paul speaks of two dreadful events that will occur just prior to Jesus’ return. First
Paul reveals that in the last day there will be a falling away from the faith of the church. Second, he
warns that an evil spirit of Antichrist will overtake many believers who are turning away who will follow
doctrines of devils.
The New Testament clearly warns us to be discerning Christians. Paul was very explicit in his
writing to Timothy, about the seduction of God’s people. He knew that many would be deceived because
there would be many who would have “itching ears” and only want to hear things that would make them
feel good. A characteristic of people with itching ears is they always seek after new revelations but God
expects his ministers to stand firm upon the Word and “reprove, rebuke, exhort, with long suffering” and
sound doctrine. Paul continually urged Timothy to stay on the right path and instruct his converts as Paul
had taught him. The minister simply cannot let the people who are under his charge shape him into what
they want him to be. God’s minister must be submitted to Him and preach the Word because a part of the
Bible preached without the whole counsel of the Word of God is dangerous. perverted the Christian faith
because the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is not being preached.
Paul warned of this departure from the true faith when he wrote, that in the last days false
prophets would infiltrate the church, preaching another gospel and another Jesus. Many such false
prophets have already appeared to preach the gospel of the Antichrist, “For the mystery of iniquity doth
already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way,” (2 Thess. 2:7).

THE MYSTERY OF BABYLON

The spirit of the Antichrist has been at work in the world since the Resurrection of Christ.
His main business is to defame, defeat and destroy the purity, power and purpose of Christ. His
personal appearance will come in the seed of the Serpent at the beginning of the Tribulation after
the Saints are raptured to Glory. It is the belief of this writer, that we are on the brink of this
glorious event.
The Antichrist spirit is defiling the hearts of many apostates Christians even now. They are
blinded by the desires of living in a materialistic world. John writes: “Love not the world, neither the
things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is
in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is
of the world . . . Little children, it is the last time: and as we have heard that Antichrist shall come, even
now are there many Antichrists; whereby we know that is the last time,” (I Jn .2:15-18). John is
admonishing Christians that those who continue to extremely regard the things of this world above their
love of Jesus, have opened themselves to the spirit of Antichrist.
The Bible testifies to Jesus Christ, who alone grants eternal life. (Jn. 5:39) says, “You diligently
study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that
testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.”

 SPIRITUAL REALM IS REAL
Christianity is not a religion of the mind. It is spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
He is sitting at the right hand of our Father giving His power to usward who believe.. Read the entire first
chapter of Ephesians. (Look at Eph 1:18-23).

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his
calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe , according to the
working of his mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right
hand in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named,
not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.”

The Old Testament gives many references of the supernatural power of Jehovah .“And Elisha
prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of
the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire round
about Elisha. And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this
people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha,”
(2Ki 6:17-18).
This is a fascinating piece of scripture God had an army of spiritual ‘military hardware’ around
Elisha and he could not be harmed. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him,
and delivereth them. (Psa. 34:7).
My prayer is that the church will open her spiritual eyes to see the times and seasons in which she
finds herself. The modern made-made doctrines have its eyes fixed on the world, the flesh and emotions
of its people. See what Jesus says is the goal of His Church. (Acts 1:7-8), “And he said unto them, It is
not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

SEEKING MEGA CHURCHES

We are not to seek after mega churches that are being filled with unbelievers being driven by
New Age change agents that are experimenting with the souls of the people. Planned Satanic spiritual
suicide will destroy billions by men who are walking in the darkness of their minds. What does Jesus say
about the phony Peace Plan of Rick Warren?

Page -5-
 Jesus is calling you to separate yourselves from the phoney religious system of everyone will go to
heaven without Jesus Christ as the only way back to the Father. All religious pathways do not lead back
to God. These made-made doctrines with you down the pathway to Hell. Jesus is calling you to separate
yourself from the world and worldly oriented Christian leaders who are forming a New Age religious
system, pleasing to the god of this world, Satan.
Look at what the Scriptures tell us in (Matt 10:31-11):

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father
which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in
heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother,
and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or
daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he
that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the
name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.”

Jesus is calling you to separate yourself from this ugly man-made system of New Age religious
unity and let Jesus prepare you as His Bride of Christ!
(Jn. 4:23-24), “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and
they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

COUNTERFEIT RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES

Author Dave Hunt sums it up when he wrote about the nearness of the appearance of the
Antichrist: “The most convincing evidence that the awesome climax is near is the seduction of
Christianity by the Lie dressed in Biblical language. This is something new. The very lie that we
have explained in detail, which is at the heart of the New Age Movement, is also seducing
Catholic, Protestant, Liberal and Evangelical alike on a scale as never before.”4

Having said all of this it is this authors’ years of research that has led him to conclude that there is
a very small group of extremely powerful and wealthy men, and increasingly women, who are involved
in Pagan and Satanic Rituals and are hellbent on subverting the nation into Lucifer's service. They have
largely succeeded. By removing God from public life and making Biblical, New Testament Christianity

Page -6-
and Christianity alone a pariah religion one can see the real identity of the forces behind the trends in
American Society. It is as though the society is deliberately finding ways of rejecting Christ and
embracing witchcraft. This can be seen in:
! The rise of homosexuality
! The popularity of Harry Potter witchcraft book series
! The corruption of the financial system
! The false Christianity of our political leadership and its concomitant membership in
satanic organizations
! The violence of American society and entertainment, even among children
! The use of high days of witchcraft in the American Government to implement key
policies.
! The rise of death cults that advocate ‘the right to die’ issue and killing those humans who
cost too much money to keep alive (the exact same thing was done in Nazi Germany)
! The increasing acceptance of pornography and perversions and increasing child
molestation
! The legalization of mass murder in the form of abortion. 5
! FANTASY? WITCHCRAFT Time Warner movie, Lord of the Rings. And Disney World
movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. 6
This is the real deal in America. It is a deeply occult nation and wears its rebellion against Jesus
Christ as a badge of honor. Shall not God deal with this nation over these matters? 7

THE MIND AND UNSEEN STRONGHOLDS

Mind Control which is witchcraft used by New Age change agents that are working in the church
use the terminology of REINVENTING THE CHURCH. (I rather like the Church that Jesus Christ
invented). The Bibles warns, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the
fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and
power,” (Col 2:8-10)
The worlds’ ideas and philosophies are designed to lead men away from the truth of Christ and his
bodily resurrection into man-made doctrines. Man does not know that he has been redeemed and that the
price has been paid already. It is the Devils job to keep men from discovering this and he will go to every
length to keep men from believing the gospel, which signifies the doom of the kingdom of darkness and
those who are in it. The Bible goes on to show that Jesus has already defeated the Devil’s power if we
receive Him. “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made
a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it,” (Col 2:14-15). These powers are already defeated!
However, there are evil men working as leaders in the visible Church that are operating as change
agents over the minds over the minds of God’s people. If they find Christians that disagree with them,
they simply kick them out the church!

 Bill Liniewicz and his family can no longer share in the fellowship at Chain of Lakes Community
Bible Church (CLCBC) in Illinois. Like other members who questioned the new church management, he
has been banned from the communion table. By declining a series of "counseling" sessions and by failing
to attend a "Solemn Assembly" -- a special congregational meeting for the purpose of public confession,
brokenness, reconciliation and healing -- he supposedly proved his "unwillingness to submit" to his
spiritual authorities. There's only one way that "insubordinate" people like Bill would be welcomed back
into fellowship: they must follow the steps to "reconciliation" determined by the new interim pastor. 8

For Bill, reconciliation would mean compromise, for he could neither trust the new leadership nor
agree with the proposed program. And disagreement was, apparently, unacceptable to the new leadership.
As Jim Van Yperen, the "intentional interim pastor" would soon teach, "There's not a lot of things you
have permission to disagree about."9

What, then, was Bill's initial sin? During one of many "adult group forums" held to introduce and
discuss the new church agenda, he had shared his lack of peace, called for spiritual discernment and
asked some challenging questions about the psychological strategies that might be used to produce
change. He had reasons to be concerned. 10

It all began with some unresolved issues in the church. The last senior pastor had left and CLCBC
continued to struggle with disunity. The old-timers still saw Bible teaching as the main focus, while
others preferred the feel-good relational "church growth" approach to "doing church." When the assistant
pastor suggested outside consultation, the board agreed. It soon met with Metanoia Ministries, headed by
Van Yperen. His team assessed the congregation, presented a diagnosis and proposed a solution.
Metanoia is a favorite word of the Theosophists. In the same manner that other New Agers such as,
Willis Harman and Leonard Sweet used it.
According to former New Ager, Warren Smith, he has seen hundreds who have been driven out of
their churches because they would not submit to the lies of the change agents. He writes, “I knew I was
being spiritually led when I was in the New Age. I just didn’t know that I was being led by a deceptive
spirit world. I didn’t even know that there was a deceptive spirit world or that there were such things as
deceptive spirits. I didn’t realize that deceptive spirits could present themselves as “God” and “Jesus”
and the “Holy Spirit.” I didn’t know that the Bible warns about these deceptive spirits and tells us to test
the spirits to make sure that we are not being deceived by “another Jesus,” “another spirit,” and “another
gospel” (1 Jn. 4:1; 2 Cor. 11:3-4).
Smith wrote, “As a brand new Christian, I had been horrified years ago to find what amounted to
be a New Age book, written by a pastor, prominently displayed on the shelf of a local Christian
bookstore. The book was filled with everything I had just left behind in the New Age. Cloaked in
Christian language, it encouraged the reader to use guided visualization (now often called “vision
casting”) and other metaphysical techniques to gain whatever it was they wanted. Pastors were
encouraged to “visualize and dream bigger churches” or “a new mission field” or whatever else they
thought would improve their church and ministry”.11

CHANGE AGENTS - PASTORS

For the past 30-40 years, there has been a massive undertaking to indoctrinate and train evangelical

Page -8-
pastors and leaders through various entities such as, (Leadership Network) and para church organizations
to become "change agents" for "transformation," (changing the spiritual life of Christians to
become world religious participants with all religions walking in unity and diversity). This
leadership training, even though often done in the guise of "servant leader" (to make it more palatable),
utilizes corporate business and marketing models. 12 For example, leaders are trained to develop a
company "vision" and then, by using sophisticated group marketing techniques, persuade the "customers"
(people in the pews) to "buy into" this vision. This approach is top-down, not laity-initiated.13
"Rick Warren is well known as the pioneer of The Purpose-Driven Church paradigm for church
health. More than 250,000 pastors and church leaders from over 125 countries have attended
Purpose-Driven Church seminars in 18 languages. Peter Drucker calls him 'the inventor of perpetual
revival.' Rick's previous book, The Purpose-Driven Church, has sold over a million copies in 20
languages. Winner of the Gold Medallion Ministry Book of the Year, it is used as a textbook in most
seminaries, and was selected as one of the 100 Christian Books That Changed the 20th Century." 14
Notice the reference to Peter Drucker. What this legendary management guru began
teaching large corporations decades ago has now been applied to God's churches as well as to
communities and governments around the world. Since the new methods seemed to "work"
equally well for churches as for corporations -- and since the measured results offer statistical
"proof" of "success" -- pastors from countless nations have embraced and implemented
Drucker's marketing approach to "doing church." 15
Much of the subtle power of the new movements, theologies and agendas of neo evangelicalism
relies upon this basic fact of human nature, (NOT JESUS AND THE BIBLE). The leaders of these
movements have been well-trained in the arts of human manipulation which is pure witchcraft! Anytime
you try to control a person’s mind it is considered unadulterated witchcraft!
This exposure should certainly call the true churches’ intercessions to attention to pray for the
Church of Jesus Christ!

“Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven,” (Mat 7:21).

HOW TO BUILD A MEGA CHURCH

Many mind molders manipulate and war to control the minds of the masses to bring the New
World Religion. The propaganda of mind pollution is winning because only a few are willing to pay the
price of self sacrifice to put their finger in the holes of fast leaking dam of destruction. Most of these type
of churches are “planted” after a survey is taken of the surrounding community. The “felt needs" of the
community are then compiled, and the church is tailored around meeting those needs. Two of the most
prominent proponents of this style of church, the Rev. Bill Hybels, founder of Willowcreek Church in So.
Barrington IL, and Dr. Rick Warren, founder of Saddleback Valley Community Church in Mission Viejo,
CA, both readily admit to being influenced by Dr. Robert H. Schuller, founder of the Crystal Cathedral in
Orange, CA with regards to their utilization of these community surveys. 16
Dr. Warren, admits to being only interested in meeting the needs of unbelievers in his surveying,
when he states: “I didn’t want to color the survey with believers’ opinions.”4 The question thus arises: Is
it acceptable to pattern a church after the felt needs of unbelievers, when the Apostle Paul states that the
function of the church is to perfect and to edify the saints? [Eph 4:11 – 12].

Page -9-
 Once someone professes faith in Christ, and wants to become a member of one of these churches,
they are placed on a path of “discipleship.” Often, the path has four stages 101, 201, 301, and 401.
Usually a model consisting of concentric circles, or a baseball diamond are utilized. Covenants are signed
at each level – signing covenants is not Biblical (Matt. 5: 33 – 37). People are required to swear that they
will not gossip [critical evaluation of the programs being implemented in these churches is considered to
be gossip], and to unquestioningly follow the leadership: “If you’re helping row the boat, you don’t have
time to rock it.” 17

“Spiritual Gift Assessments” are performed, which is nothing more than psychological profiling.
Proponents Warren, Bob Buford (founder of the Leadership Network), and Peter Drucker all believe that
God uses people in their areas of strength, so the idea is to identify strengths, and then direct people into
appropriate “ministries.”
“The pastor, as manager, has to identify their strengths and specialization, place them and equip
them for service, and enable them to work in the harmonious and productive whole known as the body of
Christ.”18

Church members sign covenants requiring them to participate in small groups (CELL GROUPS).
Small group “Bible studies” are not didactic teaching sessions with an instructor, but rather dialectic
“facilitated meetings” in which solid Biblical absolute truth becomes a casualty.
There are a couple of other phenomena that occur in the small groups. The first is bonding, so that
people feel “plugged-in” to these generally large or mega-churches.
“Small groups are the most effective way of closing the back door of your church, says Rick
Warren.”19

Secondly, participation in so-called “accountability” groups, is often required by the signed

covenants. The regular, complete confession of all sins to an accountability leader or partner has two
effects: First, the temporal accountability to another man leads to a shift in the thinking of the confessor
away from the notion that he/she is in the constant presence of God and is accountable to Him and Him
alone, to concern about what the accountability partner will think or say about any given thought or
action. Secondly, there is a brainwashing that occurs with confession, leading to submission on the part
of the confessor. 20

“Something intrinsic in communism makes this confession phenomenon indispensable to it; it

can’t exist without it … The meaning in confession then, as the Reds now use it, is agreement with the
rules laid down and hence submission to the existing hierarchy.”

Rick Warren admits that he has used his church as a human research laboratory: “Saddleback is
kind of the Research and Development department of the church at large. We’re not afraid to fail. We’ve
always tried more things that didn’t work than did. Every once in a while we find – usually by accident –
something that works. Then we teach the seminars and pretend like we planned it all along, when really it
was just the result of trial and error. “(Laughter). 21
My God. This man is experimenting with people’s eternal life, and his listeners just laugh. You
surely better be prayerful about where you are attending church today. As Jesus showed me several years

Page -10-
ago. “Just because there’s a crowd, it doesn’t mean that I am there in the midst of it.”

It is getting down to the fact, do I serve Jesus and His Word or do I go to these “feel good”
leaders who real wish is to control me for Satan’s Kingdom?

LEADERS ARE CHANGE AGENTS

Another such change agent is Jim Van Yperen who wrote a chapter titled "Conflict: The Refining
Fire of Leadership" for George Barna's book, Leaders on Leadership. He is a respected "change agent"
working for the transformation of Christian churches. "A leader of leaders," George Barna tells us in his
book by that title. He is "a marketing strategist and communications consultant," who "has worked with a
wide variety of churches, parachurch ministries and non profit organizations in the areas of vision
development, strategic planning, communications, resource development and conflict resolution." 22
Jim Van Yperen gives us his plan when he writes, "There is no privacy in the church. We are
called together to work out our salvation with fear and trembling . . . Leaders are change agents." 23

This New Age Movement is being embraced by the many pastors who see and desire to be the next
Joel Osteen type with a mega church in their home towns. Preaching “feel good” messages are paying off
because the people are gathering teachers to tickle their ears. They want to appear to be religious but
deny the power of God.
As expected, the results of Van Yperen's surveys, interviews and assessments showed serious
conflicts -- or more specifically: "systemic, structural problems." The conclusions were presented to the
church body, which hired Van Yperen as "intentional interim pastor."
"I invite you into a process where, in this church, we will practice salvation," Van Yperen told the
congregation in his Sunday morning sermon on March 10, 2002. "We will grow up together to the glory
of Jesus Christ."
What does that mean? We tend to hear Biblical words through the mental filter of the traditional
church, but the new postmodern context changes the old meanings . So when the "intentional interim
pastor" promises to "lead a spiritual/discovery/change process that seeks to understand and to embody
what it means to be the church," 24 some might wonder what to expect. But, as Bill discovered, not all
questions are welcome. Yet, his continual emphasis of "community" and "change" seem to follow the
tracks made by M. Scott Peck and other modern visionaries. And the "change process" he uses to resolve
conflict and transform churches resembles the Hegelian dialectic process which is central to the
fast-growing networks of global systems. Used in the Soviet Union to mold compliant citizens, this
process has been perfected by behavioral psychologists and embraced by schools, corporations,
governments and other organizations intent on "developing" people for the envisioned global community.
These world citizens would think and act collectively, not individually. 25
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's
table, and of the table of devils,” (1Cor. 10:21).

NEW AGE TRANSFORMATION

New Age mind control techniques are widely taught in our schools and businesses as self-help
courses. ESP, Silva Mind Control, Yoga, Holistic medicine, Biofeedback and a multitude of other
techniques have saturated our society. The goal of all these techniques is to produce an "altered state of
consciousness" which puts the person practicing them into direct contact with the spirit world and opens

Page -11-
them up to possession by demons. 26
"The revolution . . . in curriculum is that we no longer are teaching facts to children’” announced
Dr. Shirley McCune in her keynote speech at the 1989 Governor's Conference on Education. 27
Facts and absolute truth encourage people to think for themselves. But in tomorrow's managed
communities, individual thinking must yield to collective thinking. Factual knowledge must be purged,
along with biblical truths that enable people to debate, argue, and resist manipulation.
Even math and science facts conflict with the new thinking. So, in the quest for "constant change,”
students must learn "new math" - . . . math without math facts and computation . . . and fuzzy science
based on feelings rather than the facts that would anchor a child's mind to certain unchanging realities.
Students who disagree with the planned consensus may face ridicule and intimidation and be
marked "uncooperative" or "at risk.” Many are assigned to more intense sensitivity training described by
nice-sounding labels such as "conflict resolution" and "anger management.” Like "critical thinking" and
other educational euphemisms, these labels all point to the dialectic process that molds compliance and
shows little tolerance for biblical truth.
Christian children may feel anything but free to "express" their beliefs and feelings in such a
setting. That's part of the planned intimidation. 28

The old Judeo-Christian beliefs don't fit the new beliefs and values designed for global unity. The
planned oneness demands "new thinking, new strategies, new behavior, and new beliefs" 29 that turn
God's Word and values upside down. Directed group discussion is key to the transformation. Professor
Benjamin Bloom, called "Father of Outcome-based Education," summarized it well: The purpose of
education and the schools is to change the thoughts, feelings and actions of students30 . . . a large part of
what we call "good teaching" is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the
students' fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues. 31 This manipulative program doesn't belong in
the church. Yet, many Bible studies and other small groups in churches, schools and homes across the
country have adopted its rules for dialogue and its dubious approach to "common ground." It produces an
illusion of unity, but the unity is based on submission to the group consensus rather than submission to
God.

SPIRITUAL SUBMISSION TO THE GROUP

Reginald Alev, executive director of the Cult Awareness Network, says, "It's very sad what's going
on. Most of the people who get involved in these New Age Groups...are intelligent, altruistic, idealistic."
He adds. "They are told they are the master of their own destiny. Sort of an Eastern version of Norman
Vincent Peale, but they don't know they are being subjected to mind control." 32
Van Yperen is a gifted teacher and leader. His articulate sermons bring Biblical encouragement.
Most of his teaching on love, obedience, fellowship and submission sounds Biblically sound. But some
of it turns sharply off its Biblical course and merges with the postmodern emphasis on group thinking
and social solidarity. And his insistence of unqualified submission to the "spiritual authority" of
"shepherd-leaders," who interpret and adapt "negotiable" Scriptures for group "discussion," should raise
deep concerns. For example, in his sermon on March 3, he told the congregation that, "Ninety-five
percent or more of Scripture was written for and to be heard by a people, not individuals. It was not given
for your personal edification and devotion. That is not the primary purpose of Scripture."33
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and

Page -12-
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death, “(Rev 21:8).
What is a liar but someone who claims to be something he is not, as in someone who claims to
love Christ but refuses to do his commandments?

There is no middle ground and there will be no large group of lukewarm professors of Christ in
Heaven who blasphemed his name by their open and willful rebellion. No, their fate will be with the
unbelievers, the rapists, the child molesters and the worshipers of devils.
For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loveth and maketh a lie,” (Rev 22:15). 34

REMEMBER JESUS WITH ONE LAMB UPON HIS SHOULDERS?

Jesus left the flock to go out to save one lamb! Some might argue that American churches have
overemphasized the individual at the cost of church fellowship and oneness. True or not, it’s still wrong
to swing the pendulum into the opposite realm -- that of mandatory agreement and unity. Throughout
history, God has spoken to individuals as well as nations and churches through His Word. Forbidding
dissent destroys accountability. And discouraging individual Bible study in order to produce community
oneness would only undermine the genuine unity which grows out of each believer's personal walk with
Christ. God calls each of us to come to Him in a solitary place [see Matt. 6:6], find comfort in His Word,
be filled with His life and bring His love to one another.
Even so, Christians are tempted to let a new group consensus -- facilitated by leaders trained to
"manage change" -- interpret Scriptures and redefine its values. According to Van Yperen,
"Learning comes through dialogue rather than presentation," 35 and this pattern for transformation is fast
changing churches around the world.

These churches are accomplishing, is the “transformation” of the minds of the church membership
and leadership to the transformational mode of dealing with factual information. Once all people are
involved in diaprax – the repeated practice of the Hegelian dialectic process in all sectors of society
(cradle to grave) in parenting classes, ready to learn programs, education programs(OBE and STW),
police work (DARE), health care, business(TQM), religion, volunteerism, and even retired persons with
lifelong learning, then the global goal of unity can be accomplished, as all are willing to lay aside their
differences for the sake of the unity of humankind. All of the world’s problems can then be solved by
man – apart from God. This is the goal of the Humanists, Peter Drucker, and the U.N.. The only people
hindering this utopian goal are those who refuse to lay aside their moral absolutes for the sake of the
world. 36

The dialectic process, which is vital to communitarianism as it was to communism, can build the
appearance of Biblical unity through intimidation, manipulation, compromise and facilitated consensus.
In contrast, true unity comes from each believer's personal faith in our One Lord. As we study His Word,
trust His promises and follow His ways, we become one. We share one hope, one goal, one blueprint for
victory, one source of strength and one Spirit to guide us along the way.
Brainwashing blurs the line between fact and distortions, between truth and lies. Without facts and

Page -13-
absolute truths -- and the mental discipline to cling to those certainties throughout the horrendous
assaults on their minds and bodies -- the POW who faced brainwashing in Asian concentration camps
quickly broke down. In contrast, the prisoners who knew the absolute certainty of God's Word were able
to endure and triumph in the midst of terrible oppression.
It becomes apparent that George Orwell’s vision 1984, was not inaccurate when he described the
goal of the Humanistic state power, and the purpose of that power as“a boot stamping on a human face
forever.” 37
To understand Humanism, picture the octopus. His body is socialism. His many arms are:
feminism, humanism, lesbianism, homosexualism, sex education, self authority, human potential
movement, new spirituality, evolution, situation ethics, distorted realism, sexual permissiveness, anti
biblical bias, new age religion, anti free enterprise, death education, One World Government. "O my
God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our
head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens." (Ezra 9:6).

Actually, God's "lone ranger Christians" are scattered around the world. Many have left the
churches they loved because they couldn't submit to compromising leaders. Most have sought Bible
teaching churches in their community but found only shallow, feel-good messages stripped of truths that
might offend. Some have established house churches, while others continue to seek genuine fellowship in
Christ. 38

"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of
sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he
meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in
its season . . . " (Ps. 1:1-3).

PURPOSE DRIVEN CONFLICTS WITH CALVARY CHAPEL

Rick Warren's promotion of mysticism and his teachings on the end times will keep Purpose
Driven out of Calvary Chapel.
Over the past year or so, it should have been obvious to anyone listening to messages by Pastor
Chuck Smith, Sr. that he has expressed serious concerns about the Purpose Driven church growth
movement. On numerous occasions he made the point that the Calvary way, was not the Purpose Driven
way. He made it clear that healthy church growth should be centered on the teaching of the Word of God
and not on methods derived by human effort. From the beginning of the Calvary Chapel movement,
Chuck has emphasized being “spirit led” rather than being motivated by a humanistic agenda put in place
by church growth experts.
Further, pastors who attended the nation-wide Calvary Chapel Pastor’s Conferences held at
Murrieta, California in either 2005 or 2006 would have heard Pastor Chuck explain in detail that Calvary
Chapel pastors are not to be “Purpose Driven”. While there were some in attendance who were leaning
towards Purpose Driven methods, Pastor Chuck emphasized Calvary Chapel was not going in that
direction. 39

Eschatology

Page -14-
 The Calvary Chapel view of the future compared to the “Purpose Driven” view of the future is as
different as day and night. One of the distinctives of the Calvary movement is a focus on the imminent return of Jesus
Christ. Pastor Chuck has always been known for an emphasis on warning Christians to be alert and ready for the
return of Jesus. He teaches that the Kingdom of God will be established only when Jesus Christ returns to this planet.
“as it was in the days of
He also emphasizes that the time period before the return of Jesus here on earth will be
Noah,” (Matthew 24:37). From this perspective, the world actually gets worse and worse, not better and
better.Rick Warrens view of the present and the future is different from Chuck Smith’s. Warren
encourages his followers to ignore Bible prophecy and spend their time and energy on the here and now,
in order to establish a man made social plan (P.E.A.C.E. Plan) that will make planet earth a better place
for everyone. With regards to the importance of Bible prophecy, Rick Warren has stated:

When the disciples wanted to talk about prophecy, Jesus quickly switched the conversation to
evangelism. He wanted them to concentrate on their mission to the world. He said in essence, "The
details of my return are none of your business. What is your business is the mission I have given you.
Focus on that!"

Speculating on the exact timing of Christ's return is futile, because Jesus said, "No one knows
about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Since Jesus said
he didn't know the day or hour, why should you try to figure it out" What we do know for sure is this:
Jesus will not return until everyone God wants to hear the Good News has heard it. Jesus said, "The
Good News about God's kingdom will be preached in all the world, to every nation. Then the end will
come." If you want Jesus to come back sooner, focus on fulfilling your mission, not figuring out
prophecy. 40
Further, Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven P.E.A.C.E. Plan is part of a plan that is intended to establish the
Kingdom of God here on earth before Jesus returns. This Kingdom depends on human effort. He is willing to work
with governments (Rwanda [41 , political leaders (King of Jordan 42
the United Nations (Interreligious
gatherings 43 and even the Roman Catholic Church. 44 .

In April of 2005, Rick Warren, speaking to 25,000 in attendance at Anaheim Stadium, encouraged
his Purpose Driven supporters to partner with him to usher in the Kingdom of God on planet earth, right
now. Quoting from his speech:

I stand before you confidently right now and say to you that God is going to use you to change the
world. Some will say, “That's impossible,” but I heard that line 25 years ago, and God took seven people
and started Saddleback Church. Now we have a new vision and a whole lot more people to start with.
The great evangelist Dwight L. Moody said, “The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully
consecrated to him.” I'm looking at a stadium full of people who are telling God they will do whatever it
takes to establish God's Kingdom 'on earth as it is in heaven. 45
THE PLAN
A strong delusion is spreading beyond America and throughout the world. The world that rejects
Jesus Christ is waiting for its “avatar” or “god-man,” to step on the world’s platform to take the reigns to
bring in the so-called New Age. Satan, the god of all delusions, is hungry for souls. He wants you!
“. . . This is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now

Page -15-
already is in the world,” (I Jn. 4:3). John is saying here, “You’ve heard about the coming of the
Antichrist, has been preached and taught, and you expect his arrival However, beloved, wake up, because
the spirit of Antichrist is already at work!”
Clearly, New Agers have an agenda to conquer the Church of Jesus Christ. They intend to
infiltrate and permeate every segment of society with their occult notions and they have no plans to go
away. They are growing in numbers and have the ears of the very powerful in high places. They will
continue their pursuit of spreading their new gospel of deceit until their goal of a new world order has
been achieved—and the “problems” of Christianity has been eliminated. Providentially they will only
succeed for a short time. As we will see, God has His own plan for unity and it is not the one presented
by these spirit guides (demons) and blinded occultist. 46

Alice Bailey, in an address at the Arcane School Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, suggested
that the "Shamballa force"-the force from the invisible dimensions led by the Lord Maitreya-will be
"destructive." It will also, she said, eject unbelievers from the earth: "The decision to release the Shamballa force
during this century into direct contact with the human kingdom is one of the final and most compelling acts of
preparation for the New Age. The Shamballa force is destructive and ejective ... inspiring new understanding of The
Plan....It is this force ... which will bring about that tremendous crisis, the initiation of the race into the mysteries of
the ages. 47
New Age prophetess, Alice Bailey teaches that this Shamballa destructive force would promote a crisis
which would lead to the Initiation of the race into the "mysteries of the ages" (Babylonia religion) is revealing.
All who refuse the Luciferic Initiation into the New Age are considered unfit to enter the New Age. This will begin a
crisis period as the earth is cleansed and purified. (Rev.17) speaks about mystery Babylon that had mystery
initiations (witchcraft). The bible addresses this as part of the last empire that raises its fist of defiance against the
God of the universe.

The Urantia Book which is 2,097-pages of profound new age gobily gook was given by
inspiration of higher intelligence's. One can learn to invite "Thought Adjusters" (fallen angels) to dwell
within them. These Thought Adjusters allow the individual's Higher Self to experience "the new age"
presence of God . This is just another way of entering the Luciferic initiation which is taught in many
variables. It doesn't matter whether one uses the 7 spiritual centers, chakras, visualization, Spirit guides, I
am meditation , calling on the violet flame, astral travel, a guru etc. As long as they reach the point of
illumination that all is one and receive their mission, the goal is reached. 48
Guess who the unbelievers are? When the Church is removed and they think it is because of the
new age Christ it is only then their plan will take shape for a new world order. It was Hitler who spoke of
a "thousand year Reich" carrying the concept of the biblical Millennium. One will have the choice to
accept the New Age Messiah, receive the initiation or they will face the other alternative of being
ejected. This means destruction. This doesn’t sound like the love and tolerance we have been hearing
from those who criticize the Christians for teaching there is only one Christ.49
This movement is, of course, intensely anti-Christian and anti-Semitic. They call their efforts "The
Plan" which includes a "cleansing action" that must take place to remove negative and evil elements from
the world before the New Age of peace can be fully ushered in.

Many of the demons speaking through the mediums of this movement around the world are prophesying that

Page -16-
2 billion people must be removed before the year 2000. This did not happen, yet. Satan is not in control of time and
prophecy. . . Jesus said, “only the Father knows the time of His Return. However, in the past, whenever Satan has
been able to exercise his "plan" for the world, millions of Bible-believers have been put to death.

Do not be fooled . . . Jesus Christ is not going to suddenly appear on the earth as a great teacher!
The Bible says: “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord,” (IThess. 4:16,17)
WE ARE AT WAR
The apocalyptic One World Government totalitarian monstrosity of the future is soon to step upon
the world's stage to play out the final tragedy of the extinction of personal and religious freedom. A new
world where people will be rigidly controlled by big brother. The coming world demagogue must appeal
to the spiritual wishes of the masses, so he gives his own universal religion, a Harlot Church called the
Mystery of Babylon complete with its false prophet and false god.
This adulterous religious system is described as a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every
unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. (Revelation 18:2), ?And he cried mightily
with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils,
and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” All nations have drunk of
the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality
with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality.
(Rev. 18-24), describes this cruel, heartless religious system upon whose head is written, The
mystery of Babylon which refers to the type of demon worship. The occult has always been associated
with ancient Babylon. This backsliden church will bring Antichrist to power by supporting his system.
She is concerned with philosophy behind the state speaking the utopian propaganda and controlling
people. The followers will choose humanitarianism, medicine, science, machinery and worldly happiness
in preference to God. The value and purpose of human life will be subjected to the state and Antichrist.
The forces of the powers of darkness are gathering for the great predicted conflict of the future
between the apostasy of a false religion and the rebellion of open infidelity. Satan’s lying claim to
invincibility may fool the world but God’s people know God is omnipotent and able to move for His
people. We are at war! Every believer in Christ is a soldier whether he is effective or not. Our task today
is to be actively resisting the powers that struggle for the souls of men. The Holy Spirit working through
the church is shown in 11 Thess. 2), as the force that hinders the final Antichrist from being revealed
before “his own season.”
We are certainly in the midst of the “great falling away.” The Word of God warns, “Let no man
deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that
man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is
God,” (2 Thess. 2:3-4). I feel the breath of Jesus Christ at the door.
Unfortunately, many Christians, who once served Jesus Christ, are now running after preachers
that are promising them “things” or “self worth” “peace” and heaven on earth, instead of the true Gospel
of Jesus. Jesus is truly the picture that is shown in (Rev 3:20), of standing at the door knocking to come

Page -17-
in. He is not the center of many churches today. Christian ministers’ are sent by God to preach the gospel
and Jesus. Jesus is suppose to be the focus of the gospel and His blood sacrifice is the only way back to
God, the Father.
"Take heed that no man deceive you,” (Matt. 24:4). Such were the first words of our Lord's
reply to inquiry, "What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matt. 24:3). No
thoughtful Christian can ignore the signs which mark the days in which we live. The growth of cynicism
within the churches has surpassed even the gloomiest prediction and side by side with this, the expansion
of spiritualism and demon-worship has been shocking. The advance of infidelity has already been
systematized into a religion, with a recognized creed and cult. According Christian theology, corruption
which involves alcohol or drug abuse, adultery, fornication, cheating, gambling, homosexuality, murder,
rape, incest are sinful and other such wicked deeds are making appearances in the church. Can we ignore
these signs?
We must totally submit to God and actively resist the devil (Jam. 4:7), not only in our personal
lives but on a national and international scale. The devil has no power to stop our witness to the world!
GOOD NEWS
The good news is that Jesus came to set us free from satanic influences. According to (Jn .3:16),
Jesus really did die for the world. God was truly reconciling the world unto Himself in Christ. The
decisive battle was won at Calvary. The beachhead of victory has been established and the security of
those who trust in Christ is assured for eternal salvation! But His own people rejected Him while His
disciples fled. (Matt. 26:56). It even seemed as though God Himself had rejected Him. As He hung on the
cross, Jesus cried the heartrending words of (Ps. 22:2), “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
He died alone, unjustly convicted, forsaken by his friends, seemingly separated from God and a
failure in the eyes of the world. The crown of mockery upon his head and his beard torn out by the roots;
by nauseating spit upon His face; his body beaten beyond recognition, the crowd shouting; “Crucify him!
Crucify him.” The nails scarring His hands and feet, and the sword piercing his side was these injustices
not disgracefully enough? Should we reject Him also? Should we follow the trends of the world instead
of Him?
MEET THE REAL CHRIST
The Bible says that Christ existed from all eternity with God. In (Tit. Chapters, 1:3, 2:10, and
3:4), God is identified as the Savior, whereas in (Tit. 1:4, 2:13, and 3:6), Jesus Christ is identified as
God. In (Isa. 43:11, the Lord says there is no Savior besides Him and in (Acts 4:8-12), Luke records’
Peter’s affirmation there is only one Savior and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. There is either great
contradiction in Scripture, or Jesus Christ is God!
John the Baptist said, “ . . . He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed
before me.” Notice, “He existed before me,” ?He is the one way!” (Jer. 32:39; Acts 4:12). “He is the way
of life,” (Col. 3:4). “He is the way of peace,” (Eph. 2:14). It pleased God to reveal His Son to me,” was
Paul’s account of his conversion. Jesus asserted, ?I am the way and the truth, and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through me,” (Jn. 14:6).
Peter was one of the favored three who witnessed every miracle, including the transfiguration,
and yet his faith was not the result of these, but sprang from a revelation from God. In response to his

Page -18-
confession, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” the Lord declared, “Flesh and blood hath
not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 16: 16,17).
This special grace was not only accorded to the apostles but also “To them that have obtained
like precious faith with us,” (2, Pet. 1:1). That was Peter’s address to the faithful generally. He describes
them as “born again by the Word of God,” (1 Pet 1.:12).
Peter boldly proclaimed that ?salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under
heaven given to men by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12). Jesus’ exclusivity caused him to warn:
?Watch out that no one deceives you. For man will come in my name, claiming, <I am the Christ,’ and
will deceive many,” (Matt. 24: 4-5; cf., vs. 23-25). It is apparent that Jesus was not ?one of many”
enlightened masters. He is the ?Light of the world” (Jn. 8:12). New Agers typically revere Jesus as a
mere human being who sought godhood (or Christhood), Christians worship Jesus as the eternal God (Jn.
1:1) who became human (Jn. 1:14), and then atoned for our sins at the cross, rose from the grave,
ascended back to heaven, far above all other beings, and coming again. He is uniquely and eternally
God. Receive Him today and He’ll return for you also.
HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN
ACCEPT GOD'S WORD: THAT HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO GIVE YOU AN
ABUNDANT LIFE.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish; but have everlasting life," (Jn. 3:16). "I am come that
they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly," (Jn. 10:10)

ACCEPT GOD'S WORD: THAT YOU ARE A SINNER; THAT THIS SEPARATES YOU
FROM GOD--- THAT YOU MUST TRULY REPENT or "turn away" from sin. "For all have
sinned and come short of the glory of God," (Rom. 3:23). "For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord," (Rom. 6; 23). "But God
commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,"
(Rom. 5:8).

ACCEPT GOD'S WORD: THAT JESUS CHRIST IS OUR ONLY CONTACT WITH GOD.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me," (Jn. 14:6). "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and
man, the man Christ Jesus," (1 Tim. 2:5).

RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD BY YOUR PERSONAL INVITATION.

"But as many as received Him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of
God,"(Jn. 1:12). "Behold I stand at the door and knock; If any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I WILL COME INTO HIM . . . " (Christ speaking in Rev. 3:20).

idea that I'm right and you are wrong so I'm not going to submit to you because you are crazy or I don't like you or I'm
not going to listen to you or I'm won't come to church... that's an act of sin. Its rebellion. Its sin. It needs to be
