Last Sunday, I attended a worship service at a Southern Baptist Church where I Speak Jesus by Charity Gayle was performed by the worship team. I had never heard of the song or the artist but the title of the song itself made me wary. “This sounds Pentecostal or Word-Faith,” I thought to myself as … Read more
A caller phoned in to ask Dr. Michael Brown if Oneness Pentecostals were saved. This is his response. “It’s actually a debate within the body.” “They sounded completely orthodox to me.” Brown then appealed to his “good friend” James White, who has completely affirmed Brown as orthodox, who in turn affirms Oneness Pentecostals who deny the … Read more
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. –1 John 2:19 This is a powerful statement to the striking truth that John writes about false … Read more
What do you get when you mix error with truth? We all know the answer. We’ve heard the analogy of the water glass of pure truth to which has been added a few drops of doctrinal poison. No informed person would drink it. But, what do you get when you mix unorthodox, unbiblical “Christian” behavior … Read more
When a church affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church rented a storefront in my small hometown in Montana, I spent several days researching and writing an in depth polemic against the sub-christian sect and shared it on my Facebook page.

Oneness Pentecostals are charismatics who deny the Holy Trinity, speaking of God in three manifestations (or modes) rather than persons. They practice the heresy of Modalism or Sabellianism. The modern movement sprouted out of the Montanism revival of 1906, and first came to the surface of American evangelicalism in 1914. These adherents to Oneness … Read more
Recently an interesting Youtube video surfaced featuring John MacArthur speaking about his appearance at a Conference in Latin America, in which he stated, the people in the Hispanic world know about Jesus Christ, they know about the Bible, they know about God, they know about salvation, at least in some ways. They have Biblical terminology, because … Read more
For nearly two weeks, Christian social media has been atwitter with commentary over what’s being called “The Asbury Revival” at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. Hundreds, if not thousands, from outside the University community have traveled to Wilmore to participate. While some are rejoicing over what they see as a powerful move of God, others … Read more
On a recent Sunday at a Southern Baptist Church, I was exposed to the song Gratitude by Brandon Lake. I was unfamiliar with both the song and the artist but the lyrics betrayed Lake’s Pentecostal background in short time. Gratitude is a song about the singer’s inability to adequately express his appreciation to God. That’s … Read more
For years my parents have taken an annual Spring or Summer vacation to Amelia Island, just outside of Jacksonville, Florida. It is, in my opinion, one of the nicer beach destinations in Florida. It doesn’t have the six pack and go-kart feel of tourist towns such as Panama City Beach. It’s a different kind of … Read more
A new poll last week released by George Barna’s Cultural Research Center shows that professing Christians are developing more and more decidedly unchristian beliefs, demonstrating that many of these professing Christina sare in fact un-professing pagans. According to the American Worldview Inventory 2020, syncretism rules the day, with the majority of Christians having fundamental, troubling, … Read more
Evangelist Todd White is pushing back on claims that he repented for not preaching the full gospel and is now newly saved, declaring that he’s been taken out of context and that his critics are sinning in doing so. White made headlines last week when he preached a sermon and declared that he repented of … Read more
Dr. Stella Immanuel gained national attention when she appeared in a now-viral and banned video from “America’s Frontline Doctors” where she claimed that she has cured 350 patients using hydroxychloroquine. She also said that people don’t need to wear masks and that anyone saying hydroxychloroquine is not effective for treating the disease are “fake science” … Read more
We told you last week how Bethel Church casts out the demon of racism with their wizard staff and mystical incantations. Well, it appears a new challenger has appeared to battle Bethel for ultimate staff supremacy. Equipped with dual offerings, symbolic of the rods of Moses and Aaron, will this newcomer emerge victorious in this … Read more
