False Teachers & Disobedient Christians

CERM openly takes the stand against false teachers and doctrine. The Word of God says that those that love the Lord will Hate Evil (Psa 97:10) and will also hate every false way (Psa 119:104). I seek no association with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead by this page am exposing it (Eph 5:11). CERM has been challenged and attacked by many. The biggest attacks have been from Charismatics and Word of Faith Charismatics. Some well known leaders in Christendom have attacked CERM. From the King James Version Only Movement (Peter Ruckman), from the Emerging Church Movement (Dan Kimball), and from the Word of Faith/Third Wave movements both (Randy Clark) and (Bill Johnson). CERM has also been repeatedly attacked by some cults. From the OneNess Pentecostal cult an apostate named (Steve Winter). Although many have come against this ministry the Bible says that God promises his protection. "No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD" (Isa 54:17, ESV).

Besides the attacks many have been blessed by the ministry of CERM. One individual wrote the following which very accurately describes this ministry

Dear Brother, First of all, I greet you in the most holy name of our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A big thank you for your web site, and above all, a big thank you to our almighty Father in heaven who makes your ministry possible. Your ministry has been a trmendous blessing to me. You tell the truth and expose the lies and deceptions of the forces of darkness.

This list will continue to be updated. By no means is the list below exhaustive or complete.

1. Pastor Fred Phelps
Church/Doctrines-Westboro Baptist Church/ Hyper Calvinist Protestant

2. Pastor Steve Winter 
Church/Doctrines -
OneNess Pentecostalism

False teachings- Denies the trinity, does not believe that Jesus Christ is God, preaches a gospel of Hatred, and he teaches that Baptism and Speaking in Tongues are required for salvation.

Also holds to the following doctrines

Jesus is God the Father.
Jesus is the Holy Spirit.
The name of God is "Jesus."
Denies pre-existence of the Word as the Son. Teaches that the He existed as the Father.
Being born again means repentance, baptism, and speaking in tongues.
Baptism must be administered by an ordained Oneness minister to be valid.
Baptism must be administered with the phrase, "In the name of Jesus" instead of the phrase, "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19).
Speaking in tongues is a necessary requirement to demonstrate that a person has been baptized in the Holy Spirit, and is, therefore, saved. It is claimed to be the initial sign of the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
Restitution of all things, though the devil and the angels will not be restored.
Women may be pastors. (Read 1 Cor 14, 1 Tim 2-3)
Only Oneness people will go to heaven.

6. Bill Johnson
Church/Doctrines - Bethel Church/ Word of Faith

False teachings- He teaches a
Word of Faith gospel, and as such is a false teacher. Although I cannot say for certain that Johnson is unsaved, what I can say is that the Word of faith movement is false, and Johnson is in error for teaching some of the hellfire doctrines of the movement. Johnson loves Benny Hinn, and Hinn is no question a false teacher.

7. Kenneth & Gloria Copeland

God is the greatest failure in the Universe.

The death of Jesus on the Cross did not pay the price for sins.
Jesus Christ communicates directly with Copeland.

12. Darwin Fish
Church/Doctrines- Legalism

False Teachings-Thinks his church is the only true church.
On his website as of 9/28/08 it is quoted from (
http://www.atruechurch.info/faq.html) the following.

1. Are you the only true church/believers?
We do not know. There was a church in Murfreesboro, TN, but that has since dissolved. Other than that, we have not yet, as of this date, found another church that is in the truth (1 John 4:6), and we have been to many. Will we find one? Actually, the real question is, will Christ find one?

13. Moderation Team of Bible Forums.org--ProjectPeter, Slug, Amazzin & Jennifer
Church/Doctrines-New Evangelical/Charismaticism/Pentecostalism

False Teachings- A strong dislike towards Fundamentalist Christians

While I believe that these moderators are saved, its obvious that they dislike Fundamental Bible believers and are confused on their doctrines. Peter for example argued that OneNess Pentecostalism is not a cult, and also claimed that I was not welcome at this forum. However my
reputation points speaks otherwise. Peter also made some other inappropriate statements to me. One of these statements is as follows:

I really do wish you would practice separation and separate yourself right on out of here. That would make me happier than a cat licking milk off a hairbrush. But then what good would that do? You'd just continue on your way until you became twice the sons of hell these people you listen to are making you into....If you don't get this and still are hell bent on your ideology... do us a favor and separate from us. Go continue in your fundamental ways and like most folk in that movement... you will sit in your small church among other hateful people and complain about how it ought to be while all the while doing nothing much to change anything because you nor your church will have the power of God in you to bring any real change. Better yet.. you can start your own message board and website so you can give the heathens even more ammunition and reason to blaspheme the name of God. Read Romans 1 and then pay particular attention to chapter 2. It is speaking of folk just like what I am speaking about.

Amazzin made these remarks:

I am sorry to say that your kind has no hope, no future. You will die a slow intelligent death with your seperationist teaching. And that's supposed to scare me you vendictive evil person you! What spirit is that you have just allowed out? You need to be delievered of that demon John.

Then a few days later said the following

You and I will never see eye to eye. I am a pentecostal minister of the gospel. A pastor for more years than you have lived. A Minister in excellent standing with my association and I pastor at the largest pentecostal church in Canada. A church over 5000.... Thank you for your time here but your teachings are dangerous. You call us a false teacher but you fail to see the plank in your eye. The issues we raise are non-essentials but you makes them essential for salvation. That's really unloving of you.

I responded by asking Amazzin where did I ever say that secondary issues were required for salvation. He was unable to provide me with a post. These moderators dislike CERM and claim I am too dogmatic and such, yet they are very dogmatic of their defense of "tattoos." Tattoo's are not Biblical and Christians should not get one. Regardless I will remove this from this page if these moderators repent and seek reconciliation with me.
