<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Compelling evaluation of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), which teaches that God is doing a "new thing" in these last days just prior to the Kingdom of God being established: critiques of NAR leaders' books, essays written over 15 years, how to recover from involvement, and evidence for pagan and demonic influences.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Kent Philpott, former charismatic/Pentecostal pastor, presents a compelling evaluation of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Those aligned with the NAR hold that God is doing a "new thing" in these last days just prior to the Kingdom of God being established in the world. This viewpoint was earlier known as post-millennialism and more recently as dominionism.</p><p> The NAR is not an organization but a relational alignment of churches and groups that voluntarily connect with recognized apostles and prophets. Philpott critiques many NAR leaders and their own books, although he was an acquaintance during the late 1980s of the apparent founder of the movement, C. Peter Wagner, former professor at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, now deceased, who began using the title in 2000 or 2001. A partial listing of leaders typically associated with the NAR is Che Ahn, John and Carol Arnott, Heidi (and Roland) Baker, Mike Bickle of IHOP in Kansas City, Stacey Campbell, Randy Clark, James Goll, Cindy Jacobs, Rick Joyner of Morningstar in South Carolina, Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton of the Bethel Church in Redding, California, Patricia King, Chuck D. Pierce, Dutch and Tim Sheets, and Brian Simmons (the Passion Translation).</p><p> A major aspect of this so-called reformation is the establishment of the "Five fold ministry" as we find it in Ephesians 4:11--apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. However, the NAR emphasizes apostles and prophets, the prophets declaring what God is doing and the apostles making it work out in real time.</p><p> Perhaps the most alarming aspect to the NAR is the development of a "we-they," almost cultic mindset. Some prophets have announced a "Christian civil war" now being waged, spiritual in nature but potentially physical.</p><p> Philpott also unhappily has to warn about the dangers of these prophets' and apostles' methods for obtaining revelations, supposedly directly from God: the trance state, which is fraught with potential for demonic invasion.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>False Prophets Among Us: A Critical Analysis of the New Apostolic Reformation is written by someone who has had deep personal experience with the NAR movement, which gives his powerful theological insights into this movement even more honesty and compassion. Kent Philpott is not an alarmist, but he carefully and thoughtfully expresses the dangers of the NAR and why it must be opposed. A must read for anyone who has encountered the NAR or who is considering embracing the movement.<br /> - Dr. Frederick Osborn, M.Div., D.Min.<br /> ***<br /> Modern day Gnostics trouble the church today. Increasingly prevalent is the New Apostolic Reformation movement. These NAR teachers claim new revelations from Christ denying the completeness and fully adequacy of the Bible. Kent's book shares the pervasive danger this movement represents to both those outside and inside the body of Christ.<br /> -- Brian Bailey, M.Th. student TCCTC, author of Joseph: A<br /> Life of Providence, Injustice and Forgiveness<br /> ***<br /> Kent Philpott has taken on a very important issue for the contemporary evangelical church in writing about the New Apostolic Reformation . . . The movement the author addresses is controversial, with many feeling that it is more of a sect than a movement. Philpott brings facts and direct quotes from NAR leaders' publications so the reader will be in a better position to make a correct appraisal of this growing so-called reformation.<br /> -- Dr. William L. Wagner, Th.D., D.Miss., M.Div.</p><p>***<br /> Director, Olivet Institute for Global Strategic Studies<br /> Kent Philpott's book is like a roster of the players and a review of the playbook of a little known yet powerful team called the NAR. After reading it, I feel much better prepared to recognize and deal with this phenomenon that has been working behind the scenes to infiltrate and take over the move of God.<br /> -- Lyle Metsker, Itinerant Minister, Redding, California</p><br>
