Apprising Ministries has long been warning you about the danger of listening to neo-Gnostics like Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster.

For years now Foster, along with his spiritual twin Dallas Willard, has been teaching corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) under the guise of so-called Spiritual Formation.

But what we’re actually dealing with is really a romanticized version of Roman Catholic Counter Reformation spirituality, which is itself essentially a neo-gnosticism.

What it’s not, is evangelical Protestant Christianity; and worse, this highly subjective CSM is truly quite hostile to the proper Christian spirituality of sola Scriptura—it’s antithetical.
