Publisher Description
Is there a new reformation happening in the church? It depends on who you ask.
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders, and teach that God is giving new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity?
In Counterfeit Kingdom, apologists and NAR experts Holly Pivec and Douglas Geivett show how the NAR’s key tenets distort the gospel, twist the Scriptures, are influenced by New Age practices, and lead faithful Christians to shipwreck their faith. They also offer practical suggestions for readers who are already influenced by the NAR, curious about it, or concerned about loved ones who have been swept up in the movement.
What used to be on the fringes of the church is now mainstream, and many are being influenced by it unaware. This book is a wake-up call.

I would love for some of the concepts that NAR teaches to be true. This was a good warning given against those unbiblical teachings and beliefs they have and their influence on the Christian community. I still believe in miracles today, yesterday, and tomorrow but as the last chapter says, they are rare and there to make a point. And that point is to point them to God not themselves or anyone one else.
I’ve been skeptical about some of the teachings being taught in churches today and I was unaware of the influence in the Christian music also. I have to squint to see some of what they are saying about the music and how it can be negative but agree with the possibility of it leading to false teachings, false prophets, and false apostles. The Bible warns us and this is why we should be in the word every day doing our work to understand what it says and what it does not say. This is not easy and it carries with it a lot of frustration but it will be worth not being tricked by the devil in a wild in sheep’s clothing.
