Counterfeit Kingdom: The Dangers of New Revelation, New Prophets, and New Age Practices in the Church with Dr. Doug Geivett
Is there a new reformation happening in the church? It depends on who you ask. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders and teach that God is giving new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity? In this session, Doug and Holly will show how the NAR’s key tenets distort the gospel, twist the Scriptures, are influenced by New Age practices, and lead faithful Christians to shipwreck their faith. They will also offer practical suggestions for those who are already influenced by NAR, curious about it, or concerned about loved ones who have been swept up in the movement.
Jesus’ Overlooked Warning with Dr. Doug Geivett
Most people know Jesus’s teachings about forgiveness, giving to the needy, and loving your enemies. But there is one teaching many have overlooked. “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matt. 7:15). This sober warning underscores the urgent need for believers to be on alert for false prophets. But if Jesus warned that false prophets wear clever disguises, how can you tell whether an alleged prophet is the real deal or an imposter? In this session, Doug and Holly will equip you to detect the difference.
