That’s the hope of a global movement called Empowered 21, with organizers setting their sights on Jerusalem, where the first Pentecost took place.” –Charisma magazine, 4/1/14 The leaders of international Pentecostalism are moving toward a repeat of the first Pentecost.

By Dr. John Gerstner “The doctrine by which the church stands or falls.” So said Martin Luther about justification by faith alone. John Calvin agreed, calling justification by faith the “hinge” of the Reformation. But was that the historic Christian view? One may say generally of the history of the doctrine of justification that solafideanism (justification-by-faith-alone-ism) […]

The Lord be praised that He saw fit to open the door for Apprising Ministries to have become one of the leading voices against the sinfully ecumenical Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church, a neo-liberal cult that was actually operating out in the open and has since blended right in within the mainstream of apostatizing evangelicalism itself. Its primary legacy is that through its […]

So much for the so-called miracle of unity. Yesterday I began my in-depth coverage of the latest attempt by the apostate Roman Catholic Church (RCC) to swallow up the professing Christian community in Tony Palmer and Charismaniacs Embracing Pope Francis’ Call for Unity. However as a former Roman Catholic myself I reminded you in The Deceivers of […]

I first talked about apostate Anglican “Bishop” Tony Palmer in the Apprising Ministries article James Robison to Pope Francis “In Christ We Are Brothers”. Then in Rick Warren Endorsing Catholics Come Home I gave you a bit more background into who Palmer is and the spiritual shenanigans he’s up to. As I told you in that latter piece, Tony […]

To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20) It’s Past Time For Some Straight Up Truth In Evangelical Christian Circles Christian apologist Bob DeWaay has a very accurate saying: Deceptions that do not “work” have a short shelf life.

In Apprising Ministries pieces like Tsunami of Pro-Homosexual Books from “Gay Christians” and Supporters and Dan Haseltine of CCM band Jars of Clay in support of Homosexual Marriage I’ve been warning you concerning the powerful pro-homosexual lobby. Originally, as I pointed out a few years ago e.g. in Doug Pagitt and the Emerging Church Gay Agenda and Homopressive as Jay Bakker, it was given a […]

Here at Apprising Ministries I’ve been covering the inroads into evangelicalism being made by “trinitarian-modalist” and Word Faith prosperity preacher T.D. Jakes, even though James MacDonald Was A Bit Late In Mainstreaming T.D. Jakes. Last time out in T.D. Jakes Hawks New Self-Help Book I told you about a recent book signing for his latest man-centered manifesto, Instinct: The Power to Unleash Your […]

Recently here at Apprising Ministries I showed that once again Tonight on TBN Jan Crouch Interviews Franklin Graham; at the time, it was the second of three such Praise the Lord (PtL) programs. In addition, you may also recall that I reminded you PtL is the main vehicle for fleecing the Christian flock used by Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), which some call Trinity […]

What is the whole papacy but a beautiful false front and a deceptively glittering holiness under which the wretched devil lies in hiding? The devil always desires to imitate God in this way. He cannot bear to observe God speaking. If he cannot prevent it or hinder God’s Word by force, he opposes it with […]
