There is a major doctrinal movement sweeping through the Church. Billing itself as the “River,” it promises an incoming tide of blessing but leaves in its wake tsunami-like devastation. Marked by false prophecies, unbiblical manifestations and cult-like teachings and authority structure, this latest Christian fad has wooed a generation of unwary believers and led them into a substitute spirituality. While the Word of God has been placed on the back burner, personal experience reigns supreme amid a host of unscriptural visions and ecstatic utterances that have paved the way for a radical departure from the apostolic Christianity of the early Church. In this deeply personal account, Kevin Reeves explores the inner workings of this worldwide phenomenon.
A Caution Concerning the
Modern Prophetic Movement
by Pastor Bill Randles
Pastor Bill Randles has touched on a subject of great importance today. The re-emergence of the Latter Rain Movement with its aberrant theology and careless eschatology is deceiving many within the ranks of Pentecostalism and Charismaticism. When this doctrine first emerged in the 1940’s it was rightly challenged by the mainstream Pentecostal denominations. Today it is finding greater acceptance among those denominations’ pastors, and has made great inroads among their national leadership. The deception never really died; it went underground to await the day when sound doctrine would be of little concern among the leadership of the churches. This book should help the uninformed as well as those already aware of this deception to understand the threat posed by today’s self proclaimed “apostles” and “prophets.” — Al Dager, “Media Spotlight Report.”

Weighed and Found Wanting
The Handwriting Is On the Wall! Mene Mene, Tekel UPARSIN!
by Pastor Bill Randles
Is the handwriting on the wall for the modern Charismatic church? Pentecostal Pastor Bill Randles thinks so. The current, mystical, “Laughing Revival” espoused by Rodney Howard Browne and the Toronto Airport Vineyard, among others, is indeed a sign to be interpreted, but of what? Read why the author of “Making War in the Heavenlies...A Different Look” believes that this current “Renewal” is actually a judgment from God, and possibly the delusion of II Thessalonians 2!

Making War in the Heavenlies A Different Look
by Pastor Bill Randles
Christian commando raids, spiritual mapping, casting “strongmen” out of whole cities. What are we to make of these and other practices regarded by many as a “new breakthrough” in spiritual warfare? In this book, Pentecostal Pastor Bill Randles makes an impassioned plea for a return to the true spiritual warfare of the apostles, while offering a critique of current trends. This book is worth its price, just for the appendix on gnosticism alone!

Mending The Nets
Themes from First John
by Pastor Bill Randles
Do you know God? How do you know Him? Have you ever seen Him? Have you ever heard His audible voice? Have you gotten beyond the Scriptures into a deeper intimacy with God, or are you still on the level of “mere head knowledge”? You say you love Jesus, but have you ever seen Him? Are you still waiting for Him to come and rescue you in some kind of an “escape plan”?
These and many others were the kinds of questions which the Gnostics would raise (and still do), thus unsettling the faith of the “ordinary Christians.” After all, who wants to be just an “ordinary” Christian when you can be among the elite, in the “inner court” or on the cutting edge of the “great move of God”?
In this book, “Mending the Nets,” Pastor Bill shows how the apostle John deals with these and other vital matters of our day.

The New Apostolic Reformation
What Is It and
Where Is It Going?
Available as a video or DVD
The International Coalition of Apostles headed by C. Peter Wagner is the most influential purveyor of the New Apostolic Reformation, a term coined by Wagner. This organization is really an extension of the New Order of the Latter Rain whose influences and mentors include William Branham, Franklin Hall, the Hawtin brothers, and more recently Bill Hamon, Paul Cain and the Kansas City Prophets. The doctrines of the Latter Rain were declared to be heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949, but they are now common fare because of the Brownsville “Revival” and the Third Wave movement, and are being promoted today in the New Apostolic Reformation. Many of those examined on this video have fairly decent doctrinal statements they endorse, but by what they are teaching and doing they end up denying the basic doctrines of the Church. The reason for this video is the hope that it will help many to come back to a complete faith in Christ and come under the authority of the Bible.
