But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these […]

 Following a tip from an Apprising Ministries reader we bring attention to Carmel Baptist Church (CBC) of Matthews, NC; an SBC church where Dr. Wayne Poplin is pastor, and which is affiliated with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina whom AM has discussed e.g. in Richard Foster Forming Protestant Southern Baptist Convention Spirituality.

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA!    Apprising Ministries has long been pointing out that the kind of anti-Reformation foolishness described below by Larry DeBryun, pastor of Franklin Road Baptist Church, is right now metatitizing as a cancer throughout the apostatizing Southern Baptist Convention. Unfortunately pragmatism rules within the Slowly Becoming Catholic and it seems likely just a matter of time that […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA!    The following quote is from the latest Critcal Issues Commentary article Richard Foster — Celebration Of Deception Evangelical Mysticism by Bob DeWaay, pastor of  Twin City Fellowship and highlights another aspect of a growing rebellion within mainstream evangelicalism against Sola Scriptura.

The LORD enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people. (Isaiah 3:14) Reject Contemplative Spirituality And Instead Pray According To The Will Of God What will follow is illustrated e.g. by the Apprising Ministries piece Ravi Zacharias International Ministries Contunues Asserting Henri Nouwen A Great Christian Saint.
