THE GENUINE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST

Time has arrived for real Christians to make their stand and here is where I stand at Apprising Ministries. The quote by A.W. Tozer which follows below speaks volumes against the doctrine of grace-hating man-centered semi-pelagian new evangelical religion of counterfeit Christianity which has comes emerging from its demonic den as is currently swallowing up the American Christian Church.
Its deadly spiritual poison being injected through the so-called "Christian" mysticism often referred to as "spiritual formation" and/or contemplative spirituality which actually arose through the anti-biblical monastic traditions of apostate Roman Catholicism. Now this deadly disease is carried into our church through youth ministers and pastors in love with the highly ecumenical emerging church movement which coalesced through Leadership Network’s Terranova project circa 1997.
And now frantic and foolish evangelical leaders, allegedly "Protestant" Christians, have climbed into bed with the neo-liberal cult of this Emergent Church, which is not a move of the Holy Spirit, and blindly regurgitate their practice over doctrine buzzwords of "missional" and "relevant." Note well what a real man of God has to say about the spiritual rock groups Rick Warren and the Roman Catholics, Rob Bell and the Rabbis and Erwin McManus and the New Barbarians:
Here is what Tozer has already warned as he observed the original Cult of Liberal Theology:
The business of the Church is God. She is purest when most engaged with God and she is astray just so far as she follows other interests, no matter how "religious" or humanitarian they may be.
You won’t be able to say you haven’t been warned that these seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils have now arrived. So how about you? Are you going to stand for the Truth; or will you succumb to the worldy pleasure of having your ears tickled…
