In 2024 the Holy Bible Prophecy website will be retired. For 15 years this website primarily functioned as the DVD ministry for HBP documentaries. Streaming has made DVDs practically obsolete, and this is reflected by our declining orders. Add to this our WordPress maintenance and expenses for web hosting, domain and SSL, etc. It is time to retire this site. The videos will still be available on YouTube. In the meantime, go right ahead and save or download any of the articles and/or files from the website. Concerning future projects, we encountered many technical difficulties and setbacks, hav ..read more

Amidst all the uncertainty and confusion surrounding the Coronavirus, the early Church can teach Christians today how to love during times of plague. Much like the pandemic that has afflicted the world since its outbreak in Wuhan, China in December of 2019, a plague struck the Roman Empire from about AD 249 to 262. As the death toll in Italy recently climbed higher than China’s known COVID-19 deaths, so in the third century plague 5,000 people a day were said to be dying in Rome. How did the early Christians respond? What can the early Church teach us about the current Coronavirus outbreak ..read more

There is a false kenotic Christology now prevalent among those in the apostolic-prophetic movement. This different Jesus has also been referred to as the Kenotic Christ by critics. It is the idea that the divine Son of God emptied himself of his divinity so that Christ could not do any miracles as God, but rather as a mere man being dependent upon the Father and filled with the Spirit. They claim that by following Christ’s example, Spirit-filled Christians can do Christ’s works and even “greater works” because they have the same anointing of the Holy Spirit that Christ the man had. Ke ..read more

The pentecostal and charismatic traditions are distinguished by a Holy Spirit-baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues. In their statement of faith, the Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches of North America (PCCNA) affirm, “We believe that the full Gospel includes holiness of heart and life, healing for the body, and baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.” Articles 7 and 8 of the Assemblies of God 16 Fundamental Truths declare, All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the ..read more

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is deeply connected to the Church Growth Movement (CGM). In fact, C. Peter Wagner was a church growth specialist, and considered by CBN as “one of the leading authorities on church growth.” A few of his books on the topic include Your Church Can Grow (1976), Your Spiritual Gifts Can Help Your Church Grow (1979), Leading Your Church to Growth (1984), Church Growth: State of the Art (1986), and Strategies for Church Growth (1987). Prior to his retirement in 2001, Wagner was Professor of Church Growth for 30 years at the Fuller Theological Seminary’s School of ..read more

Are there Apostles today? In this final installment of a 4-part series on Apostles today, we will take a look at what the Ante-Nicene Fathers (ANF) said about whether or not Apostles continued to govern the Church. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) claims that foundational and governing Apostles have been restored to the Church. We have already examined these claims in the light of Scripture in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Now we will consider the historical evidence in addition to the biblical case. The Foundation of Apostles Scripture teaches that the Church is “built on the foundation of t ..read more

What are the proof texts for apostles today? It is our duty to examine the claims of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) in light of the Scriptures. On pages 10-12 of his book Apostles Today, three verses are given by Wagner as the Scriptural foundation for recognizing the ongoing office of apostle: There are three Scripture verses that serve as the primary proof texts for recognizing the gift and office of apostle. Many other texts support this, but these three are core: Ephesians 4:11, Ephesians 2:20, and 1 Corinthians 12:28 (Peter Wagner, Apostles Today [Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Publishing ..read more

Today’s apostles of the Charismatic movement or New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) claim to be foundational and governing apostles wielding spiritual authority in the present-day church. This claim is exactly what Paul warned the church about regarding false apostles in 2 Corinthians 11:12-13. For example, C. Peter Wagner adopted the official definition of apostle for the International Coalition of Apostles (ICAL): An apostle is a Christian leader, gifted, taught, commissioned, and sent by God with the authority to establish the foundational government of the church within an assigned sphere of m ..read more
