It’s likely you’re under the impression that New Apostolic Reformation dominionist groups like the International House of Prayer (IHOP) of Mike Bickle are still relegated to the very outskirts of the lunatic fringe of the evangelical community. If so, you’re not alone. However, in recent posts like John Piper And Stephen Venable Of IHOP Together At Linger Conference and Francis Chan Declares “I […]

As rapidly apostatizing mainstream evangelicalism continues pursuing its lurid lust for acceptance by unregenerate mankind, pitifully begging for his approval, this online apologetics and discernment ministry (OADM) of Apprising Ministries certainly has no shortage of curious events to cover.

Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

One of the current issues I’m trying to alert you to here at Apprising Ministries is an increasing charismania running along a parallel track with mainstream evangelicalism’s lust for corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM); and it becomes an especially deadly spiritual cocktail when imbibed together. For example, CSM and hyper-charismatic practices form the base for the spurious theology of the […]

Apprising Ministries introduced you to the Linger Conference and Venable in posts like John Piper And Stephen Venable Of IHOP Together At Linger Conference and John Piper And Linger Conference With IHOP’S Stephen Venable And His Contemplative Teaching.
