Adapted with permission from a piece by churchwatcher on December 19, 2017 If the people of Bethel actually studied their bibles, they would notice that by the standards of today’s western Christendom Jesus was very judgmental at times. Consider His words to one of the churches in the book of the Revelation: “But I have … Read more
We recently posted an article from Church Watch Central about the Bethel Church “knighting ceremony” for Ben Fitzgerald, who is a missionary for Bethel and whose parents run the Christian ‘Tarot’ card New Age ministry, Christalignment, which Bethel first repudiated but then – when finding out it was their associates doing it – deleted their … Read more
Michael Brown is the chief apologist, prophet and Apostle of the modern charismatic movement.

Michael Brown is a … Read more

Since Vatican II in 1959, the Harlot of Rome has been trying to get Christians to come back under her skirt. The bawdy fornicatress of the Roman Catholic church, having tried to eliminate authentic Christianity with oppression and bloodshed, turned to a devilish, palms-up approach of coaxing back into her fold those who she once … Read more
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair of 1969 was a cultural phenomenon that involved rock music, marijuana and other psychedelic drugs, promiscuity, and general filthiness. Gathering at a farm in southern New York, four-hundred thousand attendees engaged in a scene of unabashed epicureanism and hedonism the likes of which the United States had never seen.

Pulpit & Pen has been an outspoken critic of charismatic mega-organizations such as Bethel, IHOPKC, and Hillsong. The unsound doctrine inherent in such denomination-church hybrids gives way to not only an unfruitful mission but paves the way for a debased leadership who, in many cases, end up in some kind of scandal. Moral depreciation is no stranger … Read more

Joel McDurmon – who left the major distinguishing tenets of theonomy some time last year – is for some reason still keeping the fires stoked at American Vision.

Orthdoxy. Sound doctrine. Authority and sufficiency of Scripture. The exaltation of Christ in His Word. These things may seem obvious expectations to be found in a church, for even the most casual reader of Scripture. Add the Biblically prescribed ordinances of the Lord’s Supper and Baptism and you could probably safely assume you have a … Read more

Mysticism, as it may reveal itself in any religious tradition, is the attempt or practice of becoming one with a deity through meditation, ecstasy, altered consciousness, or another discipline or practice that manipulate or … Read more
We are designing tracts for the sake of evangelism and Polemics. The fact is, cultists and the theologically confused need Jesus, too. The problem is, they think they’re already saved. These tracts are designed to clarify for them exactly what is the Gospel, and explain why their beliefs do not accord to sound doctrine. The … Read more
