Michael Brown is the chief apologist for the Charismaniac movement, giving vocal defenses and stirring endorsements for men like Bill Johnson, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and Rodney Howard Browne. Sadly, the Michael Brown you see on The Dividing Line or on his program, the Line of Fire, is not the Michael Brown that you see … Read more
James White has been vicious toward anyone who criticizes hyper-charismaniac false prophet, Michael Brown. White, who supposedly holds to the 1689 London Baptist Confession, is supposed to believe that Cessationism and the Sufficiency of Scripture are of primary importance. After all, his Confession of Faith reads… The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible … Read more
More subtle is the denial of the truth that there are three divine Persons — the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. The denial of this truth leads to modalism…For some reason many feel that there is a hierarchy of “error” when it comes to the Trinity. It is really bad to be a polytheist. … Read more
Michael Brown, the charismaniac apologist who is affirmed as an orthodox Christian believer – to be promoted to the church – by Dr. James White, is appearing at the “Light the Fire Again 2018” Conference. It is associated with the Toronto Blessing. In fact, it’s the first thing you see on the website. It advertises … Read more
Sid Roth is one of the most radical figures in charismania and hosts the program, Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural. There’s never been a supernatural claim Roth hasn’t promoted, and his show is a virtual parade of freaky false prophets, one after another, claiming the most bizarre, ridiculous, and unbiblical stories, all to the enthusiastic applause … Read more
Dwight McKissic is an African American charismatic (and leftist) preacher who – for some reason – is a Southern Baptist. McKissic regularly capitalizes on the color of his skin to obtain for himself notoriety and attention, especially through resolutions presented at the SBC’s annual convention designed to cause racial disunity and controversy. A huge fan … Read more
In December of 2014, we launched #the15 when Ed Stetzer said that we were “just the same 15 angry Calvinists mad at everything.” By the time it was over, thousands of Arminians and Calvinists were tweeting with the hashtag #the15 in wide-sweeping support for discernment. With that social media wave, Alex Malarkey joined #the15 and … Read more
Called “Destiny Reading Cards,” charismatics – some associated with Bethel Church in Redding, California – are engaging in what is essentially tarot card reading. You can see the clip below, and then we’ll explain. They call it a “reading” and refer to the program as “Christalignment.” They don’t do “predictions,” but they will help empower … Read more
There is perhaps no better online resource (or any resource) in the world on the New Apostolic Reformation than Church Watch Central. Their work is thorough. Their facts are impeccable. Their material is stellar. Church Watch Central took on James White for his decree of brotherhood upon Michael Brown, which is no less disturbing and … Read more
Earlier in the year, I made a Facebook comment that was an excerpt from a manuscript I would go on to preach at the Judge Not Conference. Below is the clip of the sermon that shows what this whole thing is about and for your convenience, it’s at about the 10.06 mark. Michael Brown … Read more
Okay, Christians. We need to have a talk about Matt Chandler. We like Matt. Who couldn’t like Matt? He’s a great preacher. He’s entertaining as can be. He handled a nearly-terminal brain tumor like a God-glorifying champ. He gets the Gospel. So there’s that. We should applaud him for all those things. But that’s not … Read more
“The loss of many Baptists to the cause of Protestantism is one reason why Rome has made such gains in the past century in the United States. It is [an] amazing…ignorance that now exists in many Independent Baptist churches and in the mainline Baptist denominations, about the Protestant Reformation…. It is only in the United … Read more
I am a polemicist. This means that I study fraudulent, sub-Christian groups that disguise themselves as orthodox churches or Biblical movements. This also means that I go to places other people would ordinarily not go and sometimes do things that people in other fields of theological study don’t have to do. My library on the … Read more

Matt Chandler just made an excellent move. As we explained in this post, Matt Chandler announced that Village Church was leaving behind the unbiblical multi-site church model.
