Examining Cessationist Theology

According to “The Charismatic Illusion”, written by Peter Masters (2016), I am a proponent of cultic belief and practice because I do not believe that the Bible teaches that the gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased at the end of the first century. Masters has been the Minister of the Metropolitan Tabernacle church in London since 1970 and yet, as I will explain, is pedalling profound deception himself.

Please grab your Bible, a notebook and pen and follow prayerfully with my reading of Master’s book and ask yourself whether or not you’re the kind of person who would quietly get on with eating a cold bowl of soup for fear of creating a fuss. A great fuss needs to be made because this cold slop is covering the entire table!

The Demonic Deception of Catholicism

Is it consistent with biblical theology to claim that, on occasion, only The Rosary will rid our homes of demonic nuisances? This is precisely what the former Chaplain to the late Queen Elizabeth, Gavin Ashenden, claimed in his conversation with me. But spiritual leaders in God’s house are required not to be likeable but rather faithful to Scripture.​

The Alpha Course — Nicky Gumbel’s Anti-Reformation Legacy

PodVlog Episode #3, discussing Nicky Gumbel’s #AlphaCourse, is from the world-famous Dunnottar Castle followed by a detour in from the wind to a coffee shop, (we resisted the delicious cakes on offer).

The conversation today follows on from Nick’s more in-depth podcast a few days ago in which the sobering reality of Billy Graham and John Stott’s Lausanne “covenant” was exposed for what it is.

One of the chapters of Dr. ES Williams’ book featured in that conversation covers Nicky Gumbel’s ecumenical Alpha Course. 😭

Looking Back at Lausanne (1974-2024): 50 Years of False Covenant

This important episode of Into the Pray features the disturbing details (including lack thereof) of the Lausanne “Covenant” and Movement that’s followed since 1974.

The late Billy Graham and John Stott believed that “fundamentalists” were sinful in their “individualism”…but was this true and is this true today?

Our Podcast | From A Beach Cafe

The “Into the Pray” podcast lands this week in a new “on the run” vlog-form. Please let us know in the comments section if you like it!

Episode #1 is from a very blustery Scottish beach in bright sunshine, taking shelter in a warm cafe with excellent coffee, (we resisted the delicious cakes on offer).

Our conversation this week is to get us all to think about the spiritual climate that we’re all living within — ie that the multiplicity of different Christian doctrines and denominations that are tolerated (and even celebrated) equate to nothing other than deep spiritual sickness and spawning false gospels.

UK Government & Extremism — Reassured?

The British Government recently introduced a new definition of “extremism” following controversial events in Rochdale, England. This raises concerns about its impact on free speech and potential loopholes in the government’s guidelines. For further details, a 3-minute video is available at https://youtu.be/9nKv5AWQYPQ, and a 30-second video is accessible at https://youtube.com/shorts/Rl1UOK5Z6s0?feature=share.

Could You Help Me Make These Videos?

I am looking for some help to make a series of films about arguably the most monumentally important theological emphasis in the Bible. I need an experienced cameraman/film-maker (or two) to hike a mountain with me, a studio space to record some Bible teaching components, some finance to purchase some lighting, a microphone and yourContinue reading “Could You Help Me Make These Videos?”
