There is a growing desire in acknowledging women as holding authoritative positions in the church. Among those who hold to modern-day apostles and prophets, there are women who espouse to be apostles, appealing to Junia in Romans 16 as affirmation of this belief. Was Junia a female apostle noted in Romans 16? Is there an issue with claiming to be an apostle today, let alone a female apostle? Join...

The recent release of the Cessationist film, along with next year's Cessationist conference has gotten numerous people talking, and it has ruffled some feathers.

Romans 8:29 tells us that those whom God foreknew He predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. There are differing beliefs as to what foreknew means. One such belief states that we preexisted with God prior to birth. But what does Scripture actually say on the matter? Join me as we take a look at a recent teaching from a profess...

Some of us are familiar with the practice of anointing our homes and personal items with oil, believing that God will protect and even bless what is touched by the oil. There are even teachings instructing people how to make their own anointing oil and how to pray in their homes as they anoint the doorposts, the walls, furniture, and even family members while rebuking the devil and declaring bless...

It is a recurrent theme that when some leaders are questioned with regards to their teaching and their beliefs, accusations of a religious spirit or a legalist spirit gets tossed into the ring. Those who would dare test what is taught in accordance with Scripture, or those who would conceive of questioning the man or woman of God are seemingly labeled as being plagued with that pesky religious spi...

Join me as we consider various se...

Drawing crowds to stadiums and venues is not a new thing in the New Apostolic Reformation. Neither is the call to unite Roman Catholics and Protestants under the banner of Jesus.

Res...

There is a teaching within the modern deliverance movement called self-deliverance.

Communion is one of the two ordinances for Christians to observe as part of their relationship with Jesus Christ.

What is the standard of truth for the born-again believer in Christ? Undoubtedly, the answer to this question should be the written Word of God.

Angelic visitations and visions are routinely claimed by leaders and followers in the hyper charismatic movement. These claims at times are sensational and awe inspiring to a captive audience.

Some will even teach that we can commission and command angels since there are mi...
