False Prophets and Exorcist

Everything we need for doctrine and practice until Christ returns has already been given us, in the written word of God, the Bible, and it is our duty and privilege to believe and obey it.
The False Teachings of Spiritual Warfare
Aug 15
Not only is the spiritual warfare movement derived from extra-Biblical sources, but it contradicts much of what the New Testament does tell us about demons. Many false teachers, such as Neil Anderson, claims that when we deal with demons it is a "truth encounter," not a "power encounter." But in the Scriptures whenever Jesus or the Apostles cast out demons it was always a power encounter. Never once did Jesus attempt to reason with a demonized individual. Never once did He call on them to believe the truth. He always forcibly cast demons out of such people.
Halloween and the Christian Church
Feb 23
Each year Christians are faced with the social pressure of this event we call “Halloween.” Our children are exposed to it at school and through commercial advertising, displays, and items to be sold, and they find it hard to resist being a part of all the festivities. Many Christians find it harmless “fun” and see no reason to oppose it. Other churches and believers attempt to “compete” with it by having special “harvest festivals” (or similar such events) at the church facilities so that families can have an alternative for their children. For information’s sake, here are a few facts: Halloween had its beginnings in an ancient, pre-Christian Celtic festival of the dead. The Celtic peoples, who were once found all over Europe, divided the year by four major holidays. According to their calendar, the year began on a day corresponding to November 1st on our present calendar. The date marked the beginning of winter. Since they were pastoral people, it was a time when cattle and sheep had to be moved to closer pastures and all livestock had to be secured for the winter months. Crops were harvested and stored. The date marked both an ending and a beginning in an eternal cycle.
