you don't know scripture, let alone even reading the bible, you dont know how to use it as a weapon or you don't know what it says you can do. if you don't put a key in a lock and turn it, then the door doesn't open. Read all of the book of acts, problem with the evangelical christian is they let jesus in their heart but never started speaking in tongues or started prophesying through prophetic utterance or have the experienced the full manifestations of the holyghost.

Leave that church, redrider! If a church full of grownups can’t recognize that these “prophets” are just disturbed folks with the minds of children, your church has even bigger problems than Kerr and Jones.

[@viridianacortes9642]

@@CasperLCat One thing you can do is direct them to individuals who do know about the Bible and biblical teaching. Recommend people like Michael Hieser, John Walton, etc. Be casual about it. Be like, "You Like Kat Ker, you know who else you might like..." This is a method used to help people get away from cults, fundamentalism, and hate groups. Start small, like recommend them to someone that will not scare them as much, then slowly introduce them to more straightforward individuals like Michael Heiser. I also recommend you do stuff like question them why they believe what they believe. Be very casual, and ask, "why do you trust these people," "Why do you believe this," "Why do you think this way?" Just question them very casually, like you are genuinely curious. They might find themselves stumbling to answer and will start asking these questions to themselves. Again, another method used by therapists and experts to get people away from extremist groups.

Interesting comment. I also am in a church like this and it churns my gut if I worry about what I should do. God will give us the words and timing. When I submit and trust in him - my gut relaxes and I can have peace. If I stay in Him and come from peace and love I can listen to him and still be hones.t

Teachers that write books and preach about the “secret knowledge” they received while in dreams and visions is a modern form of Gnosticism. This is huge. This has been a burden of mine for years now. Thanks Josh

[@rayzina147]

That’s the birth place of the Passion Translation

[@anap1840]

So is Christian mysticism also just another form of Gnosticism?

[@michaellombardoawaken]

Absolutely not...I believe in the supernatural and beautiful encounters and experiences in Gods presence. A life of union and intimacy with experience is mysticism in my book. It’s when people teach formulas that aren’t found in Scripture and they share encounters they had that have no grounding in scripture and teach people they need to follow certain steps to have the same encounters. People who possess to have a secret knowledge of God not found in Scripture but attained through their supernatural experiences. We must be rooted in Christology and all our supernatural encounters must stem from who Jesus is and what’s He’s done. That’s my take.

It's so disturbing that so many people are accepting all manner of insanity such as this. A real wonder that they can't see that something is wrong. And if you say otherwise they seem to really get offended. I just don't understand it, unless they have at some point, in some ways, have maybe given themselves to this, and have compromised by staying in these environments - and have maybe ended up in a state of delusion? Have some been "given over to a reprobate mind?" I wonder? But something is terribly wrong, and so many of us have had to step away from them, in order to get free,and stay uninfected. This is a kind of warfare many of us could never have imagined. Survival is essential of course. We can never go back to this.

I used to attend Women’s Aglow about 20 years ago and Kat Kerr was a speaker at one of our meetings. She was very convincing in her presentation. This was during a time in my life where I was so desperate for the Presence of God, and was open to hear what she had to say. Fortunately I have grown in wisdom and discernment, but there are many who are where I was and are being lured into this dangerous teaching. It really saddens me that she’s still so prominent in the charismatic community. Tells you where the Charismatic Movement is heading.

[@872hurikane]

This is the most impactful issue in my Christian life bc I was one of the duped. I had a seminary degree & knew the truth. I was lured in during my conversation from cessationism to believing the Holy Spirit acts today. The key argument in my head was, “Well, I thought the Holy Spirit baptism wasn’t for today but I was wrong about that and these charismatic people were right, so what else do they know that I don’t?” After the baptism in the Spirit I experienced dreams, visions, and had other experiences and I looked for people who could help me understand what I was experiencing. None of my pastors had a clue but Bethel claimed to. I should add that I was a pastor and taught these things to my congregation. It all changed when I saw no one’s lives were changing. There was no interest in scriptures. The same folks who said they had a “throne room experience “ were staying on drugs and sleeping around. That caused me to look at what I taught and believed. Long story short I repented in front of my congregation for doing and teaching wrong and disbanded my group. I’ve spent the last three years with God relearning the scriptures and digging deep foundations. I’ve also reached out to individuals and repented one on one. This issue is so important. There are a lot more people out there who are/were duped. It’s hard to come out bc the experiences are often real. God changes hearts though.

I really want to thank and appreciate you guys, I have really been going through a lot of correction recently by the Holy Spirit in the some of the doctrines that I have held in the past. I like hearing people's/denominations perspectives (not just to believe) but to go back to scripture and see if there is truth to what is being said. I always found two sides, super ultra charismatic/Pentecostal/Word of Faith vs cesseastionist/anti-(idk what to call it lol)/heretic hunter and both sides have just felt off, as scriptures were taking out of context on both sides at any cost just to "be right" and prove someone else wrong rather than reading scripture to come to the knowledge of the Truth. I definitely started to take "one side" but knew something was still not right. I have been realizing that much of the doctrine that I have held has not been the most sound and I'm glad to find you all to really offer genuine conversation and creating a platform for believers to learn under the authority of scripture. I really pray that the Lord will keep on using your ministry to reach different church leaders and believers so that balanced teaching and unity can be restored to the church.

Demons are the product of the mix of fallen Angels & the daughters of men. Demons are half breeds, bastard spirits, created in rebellion to God. Since they are not created by God, they are damned. They were the "Nephilim" ( giants) who had phisical bodies & roamed the earth. ( men of great renown ) who died & lost their physical form. They knew the flesh with it's lusts. I believe that is why they posses. They desire to experience & satisy those lusts of the flesh again. Not to mention they hate us because we are in God's image, so they torture mankind.

Never in my life of 72 years have I seen and experienced so much apostasy leading to division. So many churches and believers are going off the rails, continually seeking miraculous experiences and signs, wonders. I succumbed to pressure and influences from charismatic friends and wandered into some serious theological weeds! I’m grieved about all this and have repented. I’ve lost many friends and honestly can’t find any church in our area that is charismatic AND biblically sound. So I’m not fellowshipping in a church now which I difficult. I do not want to be out of fellowship.

[@anap1840]

Honestly this really hits home because I have witnessed some versions of these distortions of scriptures and “signs” and for some reason I always felt uneasy about it and then wrestled with the idea that maybe I am not having enough faith or not being “open” to the heavenly things which are by nature other worldly anyways... so it gets to a point where I have been genuinely at a loss of how to confront these things even with scripture since they themselves are using scripture. I am so afraid of misinterpreting scripture and condemning something that “might” be from God , while at the same time knowing full well that the scriptures themselves warn about these very things. It’s truly heartbreaking and I am still trying to understand how to discern and when to call something out, because ultimately God is the judge.

This one is borderline for me simply because 5 years after my salvation experience, I was still incredibly grateful thankful to the Lord and I would worship and worship for hours at a time with weeping and crying and in gratitude. One night as I was worshiping I had been worshiping about 4 hours just weeping and crying before the Lord and all of a sudden I was in heaven it was so incredibly beautiful the flowers were magnificent colors that I'd never seen before the air was like something I can't even explain it it made a noise. The very air had this faint musical tinkle that I can't tell you what instrument it was magnificent and then I was back in my body worshiping.

As soon as Bob Jones started doing the exercise of imagining how the bread smelt, looked, felt etc., I recognized what he was doing (possibly unintentionally). What wanders through your mind at that point is nothing more than imagination. It's not wrong to imagine heaven, etc., as long as you realize that it is just that: your human imagination. It's not what heaven's really like (it's going to be even better than we can imagine; 1 Corinthians 2:9).

I felt mildly sick to my stomach listening to Kat. I tend to be neutral on prophetic experiences as I have witnessed a few for myself come to pass. I tend to get frustrated by discernment ministries as most of them seem to be run by cessationists who automatically assume that every supernatural experience comes from the devil. It is refreshing to hear somebody who functions in the gifts offer a passionate and humble critique. Thank you. Keep it up.

[@danielrodriguesaoe]

A balanced, unbiased, and scripturally-founded exposure of the subject, as usual! As the founder of the Assemblies of God churches in Brazil once said, while prophecy is given by God for edification, our only foundation for doctrine should be the Scriptures, and Scriptures alone, not prophecies, dreams or visions... I believe this is why we have been seeing so much 'weirdness' among many Charismatic circles nowadays: many have been neglecting the Bible as the foundation for doctrine and turned towards supernatural experiences for that... and, sadly, that is the result

I love our brothers and sisters in Christ, but these "prophets" need to get outta here with this nonsense, and get real about the gospel. I'm concerned for Kat Kerr's actual mental health.

[@viridianacortes9642]

One thing you can do is direct them to individuals who do know about the Bible and biblical teaching. Recommend people like Michael Hieser, John Walton, etc. Be casual about it. Be like, "You Like Kat Ker, you know who else you might like..." This is a method used to help people get away from cults, fundamentalism, and hate groups. Start small, like recommend them to someone that will not scare them as much, then slowly introduce them to more straightforward individuals like Michael Heiser. I also recommend you do stuff like question them why they believe what they believe. Be very casual, and ask, "why do you trust these people," "Why do you believe this," "Why do you think this way?" Just question them very casually, like you are genuinely curious. They might find themselves stumbling to answer and will start asking these questions to themselves. Again, another method used by therapists and experts to get people away from extremist groups.

[@stephenkapprere6421]

I agree processing in community is ideal - and the concept of bringing such to your pastor or church is on one level ideal, but I’ve also been in community where dream interpretation and receiving messages from God in dreams was frowned upon. That was a bit painful, but in the end it helped me to find brothers that valued the ways God speaks.

[@RelevantwithMistie]

This was so good to watch, but really heartbreaking to get through. I came out of the new age little over two years ago when I came across historical context for the Bible and the resurrection, but I am from the NAR movement pretty deep prior to my new age experiences. I fully believe that the way we practiced our spirituality in our NAR movement set me up perfectly to practice New Age later, because it truly felt no different than I thought I was being prepared for this new revelation. It is hard to put into words when I look back at the mess of the Hyper charismatic teachings. I reached out to a few of my old leaders and have gotten no response but I’m sure I need to keep practicing how to discuss this in a biblical way, it can seem so so confusing to confront this biblically to some of these people!

One more thing. I’m pretty sure this is the first Remnant Radio video I’ve personally seen where false prophets were called out. And I’m encouraged to see it, because I know how charismatics tend to be. They only listen to other charismatics, or at least it’s that way with my family. The thing is, though, you gotta go deeper and wider than just these three. Jones is dead, Bentley is scandalized, and Kerr’s likely soon to be marginalized and discredited for all her Trump madness, or at least we hope and pray she is. Believe it or not, my wife and I have had folks on both sides of our families fall for her that don’t even know each other. “Well, she preached the gospel.” That’s what I was told last time I brought her name up to a very dear family member that went down to see her couple of years ago.

[@janeanjohnson3875]

I'm having a hard time believing that this is actually spiritual deceit as opposed to just making this stuff up for whatever reason, attention, money, a platform? Especially the last one. It just seems like when kids tell you a story. The first one, is a little more deceptive to people because they thirst for these experiences. I was in that environment for a while and truly desired more of God and this was the way I was supposed to have it. But no matter how much I prayed, confessed, and sought out, I never received these experiences. I used to wonder what was wrong with me and more painfully, rejected by God the Father. I felt passed over and it lead to doubts in the faith. Thankfully, I never gave up on seeking out the truth and that's because God never let go of me. I don't have how the Holy Spirit works all neatly tied up in a neatly packaged box. Unfortunately, I am more skeptical than ever. However, I see how all those times that I didn't have those "experiences" I see how God was protecting me from false spirits and/or doctrine. For that, I am thankful. Please keep these coming because I am listening and as well as being well versed in the Bible on these things to that I may think and believe on these rightly. Hope that makes sense. Either way, I appreciate y'all!

[@onesimustim8424]

Haven't seen the video yet - but in answer to the question in the title: Can Christians travel to heaven? No. Can Christians be taken up to heaven by God at HIS choosing? Yes. Paul and John are two examples of that happening. No one can choose to go at will as many false prophets claim they do.

I hope more will join me there on Wednesdays to speak truth. “Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. ” James 5:19-20

[@caonexpeguero9984]

It's always the same story: The scripituralists vs. the spiritualists. When the biblical prophecies were given they were received by the religious intelligentsia in the same manner as it is today, with sheer suspicion. It says: But covet earnestly the best gifts, but seldom anyone says how to do it. And when somebody starts doing it then they must be wrong, because it is God that has to initiate everything. Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance... and John was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and he heard behind him a great voice, as of a trumpet. Peace!

[@joycelint6652]

Scripture only shows that happening to Peter on one occasion--it wasn't a daily occurrence. John was given specific words to the 7 churches and other things that believers need to know about things happening in heaven (worship) and things to come. I question the people who have prophecies everyday and dreams with meaning all the time. They make their living at this. I've had about 2 or 3 dreams in my lifetime that had personal meaning to me (I'm 74) and great impact in my life. I;ve received prophecy on a few occasions or words of knowledge. I've given words of wisdom to people. It doesn't happen all the time. I am in the continuation camp, and have big concern about so much that is going on today that gets people worked up emotionally but brings forth little fruit in lives. Also scripture tells us to discern and judge the words coming forth.

[@caonexpeguero9984]

@@joycelint6652 I understand. I agree with you my dear sister. Now, in my humble opinion, the Bible only registers those occasions that were of vital importance in the development of God's plan of redemption, like when the Gospel was going to be shared for the first time with the Gentiles. Regarding this point, these scripture is of vital importance: And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. The same applies for all the apostoles and all the men and women of God that walk in the manifestation of the Kingdom of God and see the miraculous in a regular manner. But having said this, we have to judge every manifestation through the Word of God and test the spirits, to see if they are from the Lord. In that regard, this scripture is of vital importance: And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And... Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” Peace!

Appreciate your approach in saying that we should judge with love if people are sincere but confused versus the extra biblical charlatans that are out to deceive. Love your story about the angel of darkness. It's great to see you being balanced with the practices of these people. I agree that we cannot judge their final destination of Heaven or Hell. But I hope you'll understand why channels like mine also also focus on the others like Bill Johnson, Che Ahn, Todd White, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinnn and the rest that endorse and support the same people you mentioned today. I don't believe a true servant of Christ could be sooooo blinded as to fellowship and promote people like this. Blessings Josh.

About Kat Kerr's vision: I think the lady has watched too much kids' TV, which is oftentimes of the spirit from below. Almost every thing she described, reminded me of something I have seen on the rectangular screen or read in a fantasy book. The visions described by prophets in the Bible are of something that had not been seen before on the earth. For example, the cherubim/seraphim. Cows on tractors? I personally believe there will be animals in heaven. After all, it says that the wolf will lie down with the lamb and the lion will eat grass like an ox, and a child will lead them. - That actually sounds much more exciting to me than painting eggs with the help of giant rabbits. I think this lady is deceived.

This is the reason why the John MacArthurs of the Christian faith go to the complete opposite end of the supernatural spectrum. And while that’s not good either, it’s understandable when you see these “prophets” using the gifts of the Spirit for personal gain. And yes, they’re making a killing doing it and they will answer to God. If they are in fact seeing these ridiculous visions, it’s not from God but from something demonic. I think it’s important for shows like this, who take scripture seriously, to act as Bereans defending the gifts of the Spirit yet exposing the abuse of them.

I mostly see what you are saying here is an accurate evaluation. The only thing I have an issue with in this critique is the interchange of "God's Word" being scripture. "God's Word" is Jesus. I would say that the authority given us would be through Jesus, not scripture, but it also would not contradict scripture.
