Bill Johnson and the Bethel Movement

[Boundary Rider]

I’ve been hearing that the Bethel Movement expounded by Bill Johnson from Bethel mega-church in Redding California is having an impact on many young people in Charismatic/Pentecostal churches, especially in the Eastern States of Australia, and is seeping in to the young people of the Christian Fellowships of Restoration Fellowships International (Australia). Hillsong has quickly aligned with this trend, and the AOG Churches are being sucked in to this new web of deceit, as “the best thing since sliced bread” Revivalism. Little do they know that Bill Johnson seceded from the AOG alliance in America to go independent at Redding, and is now part of a widely growing alliance of church groups loosely defined as the New Apostolic Reformation.

Have a look at this video, and see what you think: --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3tEv26OMTU

Bill Johnson is a smooth operator, but it doesn’t take long to pick up a quick reversal of 60+ years to the days of the impact of Latter Rain teaching, and the use of “Present Truth” to justify the new teachings of their Prophets and Apostles. There are many similarities to Ray Jackson and the early days of Immanuel in Melbourne, and clues that they are heading in the same direction as Vic has done by make seemingly inspired twists of Biblical doctrine to fit the times.

My hunch is that Vic is kicking himself that he hasn’t connected to this new wave of Pentecostalism. If he did try to make that leap of faith it would totally blow apart his insistence in the Lampstand Church heresy and its exclusive clam to be the only “right” gospel of our times.
