Bill and Brenda Johnson are the Senior Pastors of Bethel Church in Redding,
California. Bethel Church is firmly aligned with the Word-Faith movement and
identifies with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), or the Third Wave
Movement with its prophets, apostles, and alleged manifestions. Bill
Johnson is called an apostle by C. Peter Wagner. His theology has amounted
to what some call a de facto denial of the deity of Christ.
In some parts of Christendom there are Strange Manifestations that are being
witnessed around the world today, in particular, what we are seeing today
known as the Lakeland Revival or Florida Healing Outpouring. These
manifestation, (Shaking, Jerking, convulsing/epileptic like movements,
drunkenness, gold dust, gems, feathers to name just a few!) similarly witness
also in previous outpourings such as the Toronto Blessing/Outpouring, are
being embraced as a move of God (or the new thing that God is doing). Not
only are these disturbing but are also being accompanied by numerous
unscriptural teachings and extra biblical revelations but their leaders are
devoid of integrity and support adultery, divorce, lying and stealing! Preachers
who are liars, scoundrels thieves and even perjurers devoid of integrity like Bill
Johnsons friends Todd Bentley or Pastor John Arnott go to hell not heaven!
Yes, the devil is a liar and so are his friends Pentecostal Third Wave preachers
such as Benny Hinn, Bill Johnson, Peter Wagner, John Arnott, Steve Strader,

Todd Bentley, Rodney Howard Browne and Patricia King who have been openly
shown to the world to have lied about things and have character assassinated
those who dont lie and dont do what they do including robbing, raping and
using the sheep! (http://www.scribd.com/doc/36084239/Press-Release), http://tl.gd/h373hf

THERE IS NOTHING WONDERFUL ABOUT DECEIVERS AND PEOPLE

DEVOID OF INTEGRITY IN REVIVAL ALLIANCE WHO ARE
HYPOCRITES, ADULTERERS, SLANDERERS AND THIEVES WHO
PERSECUTE AND SUE REAL CHRISTIANS! EVEN THOUGH THEY STATE:
Revival Alliance is a group of six ministries, committed to friendship
and unity. All of these men and women, and the Christian ministries
they represent, are passionate about loving Jesus, declaring the
Fathers Love, embracing Gods manifest presence, and releasing
anointing for signs and wonders and evangelism to the world.
Together, let's receive impartation and anointing from these amazing
men and women of God!

I would recommend Pastors and Evangelists around the world to WATCH what
is happening in this following video. YOU will be held are accountable to God.
This is the "counterfeit anointing". The "New Age" demonic spirit that comes
as an angel of light. "Bill Johnson" of Bethel Church speaks about the
manifestations at his church of gold dust, wind gusts, fire tunnels, glory
clouds, etc. The Home of the music band "Jesus Culture". WAKE UP Church!
These are all false teachers that are a part of the "New Apostolic
Reformation".
"But, of course, there must be divisions (heresies) among you so that you who
have God's approval will be recognized!" -1 Corinthians 11:19

Warning
Bill Johnson and Bethel Church
by Andrew Strom
January 23, 2013
I am really hoping to make this the last of this type of article for a while. Some
people think I love putting out this stuff. But I honestly wish it would all go
away, so we could get on with the real work of building the kingdom.
However, Bill Johnson is doing such damage to the Body of Christ around the
world that I simply cannot stay silent. In New Zealand (where I am currently) he
holds a huge Conference once a year called Manifest Presence. This is almost
certainly the biggest and most influential Christian conference in the whole
country. And likewise in other nations, such as UK, Australia, Singapore, and
many others. His influence is enormous.
Bill Johnson is a very charming man. He also emphasizes a number of things that
I heartily agree with such as street evangelism using the gifts of the Spirit,
prophecy and healing on the streets, etc. But the problem is that he endorses and
promotes an anointing exactly identical to the one that Todd Bentley promotes.
The drunken glory, fire-tunnel, laughing, jerking, gold- dust, Angel-maniatype anointing that has done such damage to the Charismatic movement around
the world and in many cases reduced it to a shocking travesty of what it once
was. What would Derek Prince or Keith Green think of the things these men are
into spiritual drunkenness, portals, visualization, spirit-travel, fire-tunnels,
angel-orbs and the like? (Found all the way through the New Age movement, but
not in the Bible).
Bill Johnson was one of the biggest supporters of the Lakeland revival led by
Todd Bentley. And even after the fiasco that it became, he publicly endorsed
Todd Bentleys ministry again in 2011. But Bill does it all with such down-toearth charm and wise-sounding words how could this be deception? That is
what makes him so dangerous.
His wife Beni is co-pastor with Bill of Bethel church in Redding, California. And
interestingly she is even more open about the bizarre things that they are into.
She even puts it in writing on the Internet, for all the world to see.
For example, in her Life and Wellness blog on July 6 this year,here is what she
wrote in an entry called Love Shack Time: I was talking with Ray Hughes the
other day and was telling him about using a 528 HZ tuning fork as a prophetic act.
Someone told me that this tuning fork is called the tuning fork of LOVE (Please
note that crystals and tuning forks are used in NEW AGE therapy and have
nothing to do with Christianity in any way).

Beni continued: Recently I got up to speak at a meeting and walked up to the

song Love Shack by the B52s. I was calling people to more love. It was so
fun.
I guess we are now beginning to get a sense of the strange spiritual world that
these people inhabit. Another blog post that Beni wrote about WAKING UP
ANGELS in March 2009 was also very revealing:
In the last couple of months, I personally have become more aware of the
angelic activity in this realm. One of those times was when we were on a
prayer trip to Arizona One morning as we were driving up over Tehachapi
Pass and coming down into the Mojave Desert, I began to feel angels. The
closer we got, the stronger the impression felt. I could see them everywhere!..
I announced this to the group and said, We have got to stop! We have to stop
somewhere As we drove around a corner I said, I think that we are going
to wake up some angels here
We knew we were to turn around, get out of the RV and wake up the angels. I
wish I could convey to you the energy and the quickness of how God was
working. We jumped out of the RV, I blew the shofar and rang the bell, and we
yelled WAKEY WAKEY. We got back into the RV and drove off. As we drove
off, hilarious laughter broke out! We were stunned at the speed at which this
all took place and were spinning from the adventure and the angelic activity.
What in the world had just happened?! Heaven collided with earth. Woo hoo!!
Since that time, there has been a stirring in me to awaken the angels for use
in this Kingdom reign that is upon us here on earth. I have shared these two
stories in other places and have done a prophetic act of waking up the angels:
having everybody cry out, WAKEY WAKEY! I know it is strange but it is very
effective One of our gals who enjoys Gods angels gets pretty wacked when
they are around
The reference that Beni makes here to Heaven colliding with earth is of
course directly tied to Bill Johnsons most famous teaching on When Heaven
Invades Earth. Clearly, this is the kind of thing they mean when they use that
phrase. So if we get with their program so-to-speak, we too can go around
waking up angels and getting pretty wacked when these angels are
around.
I guess the obvious question is whether they are serious about all this. Sadly,
the answer is Yes. When you get so completely deceived that you think
drunken glory and tuning forks and getting wacked are normal Christian
behaviour, you are open to anything. Tragically, if we look at all that these
people have said and done now for years and years, we have to conclude that
one of Christendoms biggest leaders (Bill Johnson) inhabits the most bizarre
quasi-spiritual universe that you can imagine. And he is spreading this
deceived foolishness in the Body of Christ on a mass scale. It might seem
almost funny if it wasnt so New Age serious.

One young lady named Johanna who had been a student for many months at
Bill Johnsons Bethel school wrote to me the following:
In August 2008 I moved to Redding, California to attend Bethel School of
Supernatural Ministry (BSSM). I graduated in May 2009 Almost right away I
began to question the bizarre behavior that is so normal there.
At Bethel, there are many sayings that are tossed around daily God only
has nice things to say, Theres no high like the Most High. There would be
all kinds of distracting behavior (random shouting, laughing, etc.) during
school sessions and church services. When any guest speaker came to school,
students would flock to the front to get as close to the speaker as possible. We
were taught that any anointing we wanted could be received by simply
claiming it for ourselves. Students would rush the stage and the front of the
sanctuary so the speakers could lay hands on them.
Among the guest speakers were Bob Jones, Heidi Baker, Georgian and Winnie
Banov, Randy Clark, John and Carol Arnott We also had regular sessions with
Bill Johnson, Beni Johnson and other Bethel pastors. The drunken behavior
and questionable teachings from some, if not all, of these speakers was
shocking at times. I can safely say that I never heard the word repentance
once in any teaching.
I remember when the Banovs came, the whole place was complete chaos.
When they touched someone, that person would jerk violently or stumble
around as if they were drunk. The Banovs minister to people in trash dumps
around the world What I remember them talking about was love, joy, bliss,
and the new wine.
Angels were often talked about. I remember Beni Johnson actually took an RV
across Arizona and New Mexico to wake up angels that were supposedly
sleeping. (Another one of the common phrases, Wakey wakey). I would
always hear people talking about their encounters with angels and how they
visited heaven. One young woman I knew said she could see angels
everywhere, she talked to them all the time, and she would help her friends to
do the same God becomes like Santa Claus. Without the preaching of the true
gospel, the fear of the Lord is lost.
ANDREW AGAIN: As you can see from all these reports, the ministry of Bill
Johnson is highly suspect. Sadly, because the deception is not as obvious as
Todd Bentley, people are charmed into thinking hes fine. Charismatic leaders
around the world flock to his meetings and openly endorse his teachings. For
this reason I believe he is far more dangerous than Todd Bentley ever was. The
Bible says that in the last days will come false teachers and lying signs and
wonders to deceive if possible the very elect. And what do we see today?
New Age practices and spirits are flooding the church. And it is men like Bill
Johnson that have become the acceptable face of this invasion. Please,
friends, steer well clear.

God bless you all.

GRAVE SUCKING BILL JOHNSON

Have you heard of Grave Sucking?
Can the Word of Faith hyper-mystical- Third Wave crowd get any more
bizarre? What is with this new occult sounding practice often referred to as
grave sucking?
Yes a supposed Christian pastor, Bill Johnson led a group to John Lakes
grave. He was looking for Lakes anointing to heal the sick by a supernatural
power. The people seeking this new paranormal anointing prostrated
themselves upon Lakes grave weeping, worshipping and expecting that Lakes
ministry power would strike them and his spirit would infuse them with a sign
and wonders ministry like he had when he was alive. Thus, a new
preternatural cultwas formed that day that is now referred to as grave
sucking.
Mr. Johnson testified about this bazaar act of desecration and necromancy (the
practice of attempting to communicate with the spirits of the dead in order to
predict or influence the future) that he and his group committed on the Sid
Roths radio show, Its Supernatural.

Johnson spun a weird mystical/Occult experience tale to Sid Roth about

meeting the Late John Lakes angel in the building where Lake had previously
ministered in his healing rooms. He testified that two ladies went to a back
room and they met a giant angel there that healed one of the women. They
called Johnson and when he came into the room, he claimed there was anangel

about 10 feet tall. Sid asked him, did you see the angel? Johnson replied No,
but I knew he was there and the angel said to me, What took you so long, Ive
been here for 80 years!
Johnson said, they saw a for lease sign and He rented the building and
opened his first healing room.

HEALING ROOMS
Satan used Bill Johnson to recover the unorthodox healing ministry by angels
guidance of John Graham Lake (1870-1935). The restoration of this mans
heresy has spread internationally on the wings of the Third Wave Movement.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the
very elect (Matt 24:24).

We understand that many individuals who are involved with the

Healing Rooms Ministries International are very sincere and wellmeaning people. Our sounding the alarm about the problems
associated with the Healing Rooms is not to pass judgment on the
kindness and sincerity of others who are trying to help people through
Christian prayer. We encourage all Christians to pray as Scripture
instructs us too. We, like others are concerned with the unbiblical
practices that take place. Scripture commands Christians to expose
false doctrine and unbiblical practices, and it is false doctrine and its
fruit spiritual deception, that we are seeking to warn people about.2
According to Scripture, false teachers who masquerade as Apostles of Christ
ought to be rebuked, we believe that Scriptural exhortations to rebuke and
expose false teachers and false teaching also apply in our day even if they
come wrapped in the guise of healing rooms, centering prayer, Christian
yoga, etc. Just because people claim to be Christian Apostles, Anointed
Ones, Gods Generals, Healers, Christian yogis, etc., does not mean that
they are. of God. What one teaches and practices reveals outright whom they
serve God, self, or the Devil. 3
Spiritual Research Network and other Bible based ministries are sounding a
warning about the Healing Rooms because of the unbiblical and even occult
teachings and practices that appear to take place in Healing Rooms and Healing
Room type settings. There are many variations and styles within the Healing
Room movement and each healing room is different in how it practices its
theology and methodology. 4
To note, many ministries are also warning about the cult doctrine of Prosperity
Healing, Word Faith Teachings, Latter Rain Teachings, Dominion Theology, etc.,
that are being sold through the Healing Room International Ministries Online
Bookstores, i.e., https://healingrooms.com/ Patricia King, John and Carol

Arnott, Todd Bentley, James Goll,

Georgian Banov, Stacey Campbell, Joshua Mills, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Hagi
n, Kenneth Copeland, Kim Clement, Mike Bickle, and many, many more.

HERESEY OF NECROMANCY (TALKING

TO THE DEAD)
BILL JOHNSON AND THE HERESY OF NECROMANCY
Ministry of the ghouls
How the Healing Rooms were founded. These healing rooms having healing
angels; the Bible says: Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary
humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath
not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, (Col. 2:18).
I personally know a woman who reported to us that she had gone to Spokane,
Washington with Bill Johnson and a group of Christians to investigate John G.
Lakes healing ministry.
They wanted to see John G. Lakes home. Some of Lakes relatives had bought
his home and were restoring it. They refused to let these weird Christians
inside. However, they were pulling up old lanoline and other things and
throwing this stuff out for the trash. The Christians, like vultures, grabbed the
Lake trash out of the garbage. She brought this rubbish to her home and made
a collage cross and hung it over her bed.
The Roman Catholic Church is famous for seeking relics of dead saints. They
collect hair, bones and objects that they display in the Vatican and cathedrals
around the world. Every church cornerstone will have a relic planted in the
building.

After leaving Lakes old home, Bill Johnson and his group went to the
cemetery to visit his grave. This woman told us they all rolled on the grave
to get Lakes anointing.

Then they went to the old building where he conducted his healings.
To their amazement, the building was up for lease. She said, A
woman needed healing and they were in a back room. Suddenly,
peace came into the room A tall angel was in the room and healed
her friend.
They got Bill Johnson and when he came into the room, he claimed on
Sid Roth program that the angel spoke to him and said, Where have
you been.. Ive been waiting for you to come for 80 years.
Sid Roth asked him, Could you see the angel?

Bill Johnson admitted that he could not see the angel that he sensed his
presence. He then said, He was about 10 or 11 feet tall.
Johnson leased the John G. Lake building and thus we now having Healing
Rooms, around the nation.
The woman friend of mine told us that many then went to Kathryn Khulmans
grave and rolled on her grave to receive her anointing and then they went to
Aimee Semple McPhersons grave and Corrie Ten Boom.
Bill Johnson says, There are anointings, mantles, revelations and mysteries
that have lain unclaimed, literally where they were left because the generation
that walked in them never passed them on. I believe its possible for us to
recover realms of anointing, realms of insight, realms of God that have been
untended for decades simply by choosing to reclaim them and perpetuate them
for future generations.6

GODS GIFTS DO NOT COME FROM GRAVES

Well Mr. Johnson, my Bible tells me that the Holy Spirit gives gifts to whom He
wills; angels have nothing to do with the Christian gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Truth doesnt come from seeking the dead.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither
shadow of turning, (Jam.1:17).
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(Rom. 8: 38,
39).

GRAVE SUCKING EXPLAINED

We as believers (in what?); must find a way to retrieve the mantle or
anointing from the rotting corpse six feet under. Only then can we get
Gods plans back on track. This is achieved by placing our hands on the
gravestone of the deceased or lying on top of the grave. Sometimes a
prayer will be offered to God to aid in this perceived power transfer.7
I kid you not! Some people actually believe this. Gods plan has in fact been
frustrated and now God needs us to seek out His lost anointing so we can bale
God and His plans out. They believe that by laying there on the grave they will
be able to pull the anointing from the dead. Its as if they believe the Holy
Spirit is lost and doesnt seem to realize that the person they empowered is
dead and is no longer able to minister in this empowered way. Suddenly the

Holy Spirit senses someone is lying on the dirt six feet above His head. The
Holy Spirit, apparently not caring who is laying up there decides to jump into
the new body giving them the supernatural abilities that the dearly departed
once had. Again this assumes that the person in the grave was in fact
empowered by the Holy Spirit. 8
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an
angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed
as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their
works, (II Cor. 11:13-15.)
While they promise them liberty , they themselves are the servants of
corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in
bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through
the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled
therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness,
than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered
unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The
dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her
wallowing in the mire, (II Pet. 2:19-22)

Bethel to Feature Bob Jones at

Upcoming Prophetic Conference

January 13, 2011 by Craig 7 Comments

In an advertisement on Bethels website is an upcoming prophetic
conference - Piercing The Darkness to be held at Bill Johnsons Bethel
Church February 23 25, 2011. Featured speakers are Bob Jones, Joseph
Garlington, Graham Cooke and Bethels own Kris Vallotton. This blog post will
focus on dangerous false prophet Bob Jones.
Yes, false prophet. I do not state these words lightly. This is stated not just
because some of his prophetic words with specific parameters have proven
false even though this is true. It is said because, in addition, some of his
words are downright anti- Biblical, not just extra-Biblical. So, who is Bob
Jones?
Heres the blurb from the upcoming conference:
When only seven years old and walking on a dirt road in Arkansas; the
Arch Angel [sic] Gabriel appeared to Bob Jones on a white horse and blew a
double silver trumpet in his face. He then threw an old bull skin mantle at
Bobs feet. Although fearful at the time he ran, however, many years later he
returned to pick up that old mantle which is that of a Seer Prophet. Bob Jones
is known as a contemporary prophet with a great love for the Lord Jesus and
His truth. His prophesies have spanned over four decades as the Lord has
enabled him to foretell earthquakes, tidal waves, comets and weather
patterns. Like Daniel who functioned at an incredible level, Bob has often told
leaders their dreams and experiences, as well as their interpretation.
After his death experience in 1975 God sent him back to minister to
church leadership and reach the multitudes with His
love, truth and equipping the saints with understanding of the spiritual
gifts. God promised Bob that he would see the beginning of one billion
souls coming into the kingdom in one great wave of the end time harvest.

Bob moves with a clear revelatory gifting, accompanied by gifts of

healing and miracles. [all as per original]

The Kansas City Prophets movement eventually ran out of steam and crumbled, but
not without leaving behind many rotten fruits for us to glean insight from. The
prophecies which pervaded the movement ranged from outlandish to absurd, with
tales of angel visits and trips to Heaven.
Bob Jones, considered to be one of the most powerful of the movement, was
removed from ministry at the Vineyard in 1991 for sexual misconduct. He
used his prophetic gift to fondle women in the church. This is taken from
the same article at Deception in the Church:
Bob Jones, however, who not so long ago was regarded as the most powerful of the
Kansas City crowd is out of ministry. First when Wimbers Vineyard absorbed the
Kansas City Fellowship, Jones and another prophet were disciplined for making some
outlandish statements and prophecies that were judged to have harmed some, and
their prophecy tapes were removed from distribution. Joness ministry was then limited
to church leadership behind closed doors. 31
But it was behind those doors where Joness ministry ended. Two women came forward
in 1991 and told Vineyard leaders that Jones had used his prophetic authority to touch
and fondle them sexually. 39 Jones admitted it and was removed from ministry. In
recent months, I have manipulated certain people for selfish reasons on the basis of
my prophetic gifting, Jones said in a statement that he dictated and signed before the
Metro Vineyard
Fellowship senior leadership on November 4, 1991. I have been guilty of sexual
misconduct, and I deeply regret this. (I have not committed adultery.) Source.
This is Todd Bentleys mentor. This is the man Bentley continually lauds as a source of
wisdom and reliability. If only Bentley would put as much credence and value in Gods

Word instead of fallible man

Sexual sin or any other kind of sin denies the authenticity of any so-called
prophecy. Remember what Jeremiah
said in the name of the LORD, "The prophets prophesy falsely, And the
priest rule by their own power; and My people love tohave it
so. But what will you do in the end?" (Jer. 5: 31). And, "Because
from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is given to
covetousness; And from the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals falsely
(Jer. 6: 13). Lamentations 2: 14 tells us, "Your prophets have seen for you
False and deceptive visions; They have not uncovered your iniquity, To bring
back your captives, But have envisioned for you false prophecies and
delusions." The
suffer from what Paul said, "Therefore God sends them a strong delusion,
to make them believe what is false, so that all may be condemned who did
not believer the truth bu had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2Thess.
2: 11 - 12). Yours in Jesus Christ, Gordon

BILL JOHNSON AND FRIENDS

ARE DECEIVERS
Bethel lists evangelical ministries as its
friends
Prominent friends of Bethel as listed at www.ibethel.org
Benny Hinn Ministries: Benny Hinn is an evangelist who holds Holy Spirit Miracle
Crusades each year. His ministry is engaged in crisis relief and children's programs,
according to his Web site. In 2002, Dateline NBC investigated Hinn's revivals and
reported there was no medical evidence to support his claims of supernatural healings.

Dateline also reported Hinn lived extravagantly in a gated Dana Point community. A
May 2005 investigation into Hinn's finances by an independent evangelical organization
led to a donor alert that stated the Hinn family spent an "exorbitant" amount of money
and that the ministry had far more money than it needed to carry out its mission.
Extreme Prophetic: Extreme Prophetic lists the Nicene Creed as their statement of
faith. Patricia King, a self- proclaimed prophet, is the president of the ministry, which
serves to equip people with prophetic ministry, intercession, and evangelism. King
recently posted videos of her predictions for 2010 as given to her by God. Bill
Johnson is on the apostolic advisory team.
Fresh Fire Ministries: Todd Bentley, founder of the ministry, is a Canadian evangelist
who is well known for his sometimes violent methods of healing. Bentley has hosted
several revivals and has publicly spoken of how he has kicked, hit and knocked over
participants. Bentley said the Holy Spirit told him to do those things and that miracles
were happening simultaneously. Bentley was convicted of sexually assaulting a 7-yearold Canadian boy in 1991 but said he changed his life when he became a Christian at age
18. In August 2008, Bentley announced his separation from his wife and in March
married a female member of his staff. Bill Johnson said a restoration team was formed
to help Bentley. Johnson serves as a member of Bentley's accountability team,
according to the ministry Web site.
Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship: Led by John and Carol Arnott, the TACF was
one of the Association of Vineyard Churches until the 1994 Toronto Blessing revival. At
the revival, people were anointed by God as evidenced by the worshippers being
overcome with "outbreaks of laughter, weeping, groaning, shaking, falling, drunkenness,
and even behaviors that have been described as a 'cross between a jungle and a
farmyard,' " the TACF Web site said. The church has seven campuses and estimates that
4 million people have visited to receive the power of the Holy Spirit like those who
attended the Toronto Blessing, church leadership say on the Web site.
Johnson will speak at the Pastors and Leaders Conference at the church from today until
Friday.
Global Awakening: Founded by Randy Clark just after the Toronto Blessing revival,
Global Awakening is a Pennsylvania-based international teaching, healing and
impartation ministry. Clark was the guest speaker at the Toronto Blessing. From Jan.
12 through Friday, Clark headlined a School of Healing and Impartation conference
hosted by Bethel Church at the Redding Convention Center. Healing services were
open to the public nightly.

Visions of Prosperity

Bethel Church: Unleashing the power

Bethel Church Senior Pastor Bill Johnson gives a sermon Sunday, Nov. 29, at Bethel
Church. "We have been amazed at God's goodness, said Johnson. "We love our city and
are so glad to be associated with so many churches and to pursue trying to serve in
every part of society that we can serve in."
Growing up the son of a fourth-generation pastor, Bill Johnson never imagined he'd
someday be the driving force behind a north state megachurch and economic
powerhouse.
But somewhere along the way, things changed.
Established as a small Assemblies of God Church in Redding 50 years ago, Bethel Church
has become a household name in this north state community in a little more than a
decade since Johnson became pastor. The church, much more than a house of worship,
reaches out to an estimated 3,000 congregants, brings in millions in revenue to the
community with its conferences and schools, and has more than 30,000 people tuning in
to its new online media business venture.
Bethel has fed off a sometimes controversial national movement of Christian
Pentecostals from the mid-'90s whose central messages focus on miraculous healings,
bringing heaven to earth, speaking in tongues, prophecy and learning to release the
supernatural powers of God. Bethel now has several successful businesses, large local
land holdings and its own multimedia production center.
"We have not succeeded fully yet," Johnson said of the church's prosperity in an e-mail
sent shortly before departing for a conference in South Korea. "But what has been

accomplished has been done by living a life of, and teaching on, generosity. Prosperity is
often the result of doing things right."
Johnson, 58, describes himself as a simple man and a simple pastor. His signature look
is dressy casual: Button-up collared shirts - untucked - paired with fashionable blue
jeans and shiny shoes with black rectangular-framed glasses and slicked-back gray hair.
He talks soft and low, very conversational, yet authoritative. He moves fluidly and sits
comfortably in his church office, decorated regally with shades of gold, black and deep
red.
Johnson is the senior pastor of Bethel Church and oversees a team of nine senior leaders
along with Kris Vallotton and Danny Silk. Though Bethel has undeniable reach and
influence in the community, Johnson is quick to deflect the attention.
"We don't ever want to project the idea that Bethel is the answer, especially as
compared to some other great churches in town," he said. "This city has some amazing
churches and I'm good friends with a lot of pastors around here. What he (God) is doing
in Bethel he's doing in similar churches around town and that's fascinating to us. That's
wonderful."
It's also an understatement.
The business of Bethel
Atop a hill off Highway 299 just east of Interstate 5 at the end of a drive flanked by
colorful national flags, abides a sanctuary at the heart of 70 acres - and a worldwide
mission.
With close to 360 employees, Bethel is one of Shasta County's largest private
employers. It draws thousands to Redding each year, hoping to see miracles, have a
supernatural experience or learn to unleash the power of God through conferences or
visits to the Healing Rooms Ministry. A successful online media venture has also
garnered followers around the globe looking for spiritual guidance on how to bring
heaven to Earth. The Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) pulls in more than a
thousand students a year seeking faith-healing techniques.
Bethel is more than a church - it is a conglomeration of various businesses, varying from
a coffee shop to an online multimedia production and distribution company.
As "the Avenue of Nations" continues to wind up to the main building, some are lucky
enough to find parking outside the lobby of HeBrews Coffee. The shop is reminiscent of
Starbucks, a favorite of Johnson's, and is filled with young people sitting around the
tables and standing in the corners talking between BSSM classes. The church runs this
coffee shop inside the main building as well as a bookstore called Eagles Nest, which
features books written by the church leaders. "The Supernatural Ways of Royalty:
Discovering Your Rights and Privileges of Being a Son or Daughter of God" by Johnson
and Vallotton, along with "Release the Power of Jesus" by Johnson grace the shelves.

One of the newest business ventures is iBethel.TV, which streams conferences, sermons
and interviews on the Web. Each week, a free downloadable sermon is offered, usually
generating 24,000 downloads, administrator Charlie Harper said. To get unlimited views
of the videos and audio posted on iBethel.TV, users must subscribe, which costs from $5
to $19 a month. Harper said about 4,000 people subscribe but about 30,000 people log
in to view the free broadcasts.
The TV studio is housed in Bethel's polished new high-tech Communication Center on
Caterpillar Lane, purchased over the summer for $900,000. The building underwent
extensive renovation from July to November to make it functional as an office building
and broadcasting hub. The total investment was $1.6 million.
The Communication Center also serves as headquarters for Jesus Culture, Bethel's youth
outreach ministry that hosts three conferences in Redding every year, as well as
conferences in Atlanta, Las Vegas, Dallas, Cleveland and several abroad in Australia and
England. The conferences bring thousands of young people from around the world to the
host cities.
Conferences boost local economy
When Johnson became pastor of Bethel, it was already a megachurch. But under his
leadership, outreach through schools and conferences has spread Bethel's message of
bringing heaven to earth and unleashing the supernatural power of God, causing the
church to grow substantially.
"The conferences are a way that we can train people that either don't have the ability,
time, or money to come to our school," he said. "We love to train and equip people to do
what Jesus did and commanded us to do."
Jesus Culture's mission is to raise up a new generation of revivalists, Jerry Niswander,
managing director, said.
The ministry is supported by registration fees, which run from $35 to $50, and product
sales, including T-shirts and CDs from the Jesus Culture record label. Artists include Kim
Walker, whose hit "Where you go I go" expresses a heart-wrenching desire to do God's
will, and Chris Quilala, best known for his driving ballad "Your love never fails."
Niswander said more than 3,000 people attended the two-day February 2009 Jesus
Culture Conference in Redding and the three-day July conference saw about 2,000
attendees. Both conferences were held at the Redding Convention Center. The third,
specifically for youth pastors, was held in September at Bethel and had 250 in
attendance.
"We've almost doubled (attendance) since 2007," he said.
Frank Strazzarino Jr., president and CEO of the Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce,
said visitors spend an estimated $75 to $125 per day when they come to Redding. Using
those figures, the Jesus Culture Conferences alone could generate more than $1 million

in local economic activity collectively.

"In many cases, they (convention attendees) consider a return to our community for a
vacation trip after they have attended a conference," Strazzarino said in an e-mail,
adding that some people eventually end up moving to the area.
Chris Gonzalez, general manager of the Redding Convention Center, said Bethel Church
is a huge asset, renting the center for five events each year.
This year, Bethel will host at least 10 conferences, including the three Jesus Culture
conferences, a conference on healing and laying on of hands, and a conference on
prophecy.
The Bethel School of Impartation and Healing conference was held last week at the
Redding Convention Center and heavy traffic clogged the area as people swarmed to
Auditorium Drive.
Bethel's Web page steers out-of-towners to local hotels, including the Comfort Inn,
which offers a 20 percent discount for Bethel conference attendees.
In his father's footsteps
Johnson moved to Redding with his family in 1968 when his father, Earl Johnson,
became pastor of Bethel Church, which at the time had a congregation of fewer than
200.
As a child, he loved sports, especially baseball, and was a good athlete. Though he didn't
like school, he earned decent grades. Music had a huge place in his life, thanks to the
influence of his parents, he said.
"My parents were very musical," he said.
Johnson's son, Brian Johnson, has continued the family's musical legacy by becoming
the worship director at Bethel.
After attending the Genesis Bible Training Center in Santa Rosa and spending five years
on the Bethel staff, Bill
Johnson became pastor of Mountain Chapel in Weaverville from 1978 to 1996.
Johnson returned to Bethel in 1996 as pastor, taking over the position his father held
from 1968 to 1982. Ray Larson was the pastor of the church from 1984 to 1996, and
under his leadership, the church grew from 200 congregants to more than 2,000.
Now, with another 1,000 members and a decade of healthy growth under its belt,
Bethel Church receives between $3 million and $4 million a year in tithes and offerings,
Johnson said.
Johnson's vision for creating a culture through a church has made Bethel an economic
force in its hometown and its expansion over the past decade has been continuous.

"We're in a process right now with an architect that has designed a building," Johnson
said of the latest plans for the church's $10 million main campus on College View Drive.
In an iBethel.TV interview, Johnson said church leadership had been given the prophetic
word to create what he called an apostolic resource center. The new center would
include a larger sanctuary, 900 parking spaces and more buildings to house the
church's ministries. The new center will cost an estimated $7 million and be completed
sometime in 2012.
Drawing students to Redding
Aside from the restaurant and hotel revenue gained from Bethel Church's conference,
Bethel's schools also draw people to the community - most notably the Bethel School of
Supernatural Ministry.
"I had a vision for a school of this type for many years before coming to Redding,
intending to start one in Weaverville," Johnson said in an e-mail. "I brought the vision
for BSSM to Redding when I came. It was my job to set the priorities and ministry
direction as well as hire the staff that could help get it done."
Founded in 1998 with just 36 students, the September-through-May school now enrolls
about 1,200 students, 370 of whom are from foreign countries, Johnson said.
Nathan Grammar, 31, moved to Redding from Mississippi during the summer to attend
the school, which he heard about in Kansas City, Mo., through the International House
of Prayer ministry.
"Some of the things that really drew me to it were the fact that we believe in miracles
and there's a lot of testimonies that come on podcasts and really cool things happening
(at Bethel)," he said while sitting outside HeBrews Coffee on a sunny fall afternoon.
The curriculum focuses largely on learning about life, learning to unleash God's
supernatural spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues and healing, and being a person of
honor, respect, integrity and purity, he said.
"People need practical training, not just theories," Johnson said,
Tuition at the school is $3,600, not including living costs. Grammar laughed when he
said someone anonymously paid his tuition in full because he didn't have enough
money.
"It was pretty wild," he said.
Grammar is one of many students who rent apartments in Redding. Amanda Coats,
property manager of Hilltop
Garden Apartments, said there's a "Bethel market" in the rental sector.
Coats said in September 70 percent of her traffic was from Bethel students looking for a
place to live for the school year. Many of them are from Norway, Switzerland and South

Africa, she said.

"Some of them have actually found permanent residency here and have lived here for a
year or two now," she said, adding that about 15 percent will stay for the full three-year
program.
God's favor for Redding
Johnson said he thinks God's favor is on Redding and compares the ministries of Bethel
to those of John the Baptist.
"In the Bible, there's a character named John the Baptist who came to Israel and
preached before Jesus did," he said. "He's the one who prepared the way but he was out
in the wilderness, he wasn't in the big city. People had to leave the city to go out there."
Johnson said people hear about the wonderful things happening at Bethel - the healing,
the anointing, the prosperity, the closeness with God - and they come.
Johnson's vision for Bethel is also largely a vision for Redding and beyond.
"Bethel is part of a bigger (picture)," he said. "I want Redding to be a safe place. I want
it to be a place where families work, where marriages work, where kids don't get
abused, where businesses can thrive, where there aren't unemployment problems. We
have a role that we play."
His vision was echoed in a congregational prayer led by Kris Vallotton at a Sunday
service in early December, lasting more than five minutes and asking God to bring
healing to Redding. Prayers to eradicate abortion, divorce, cancer and poverty were
spoken aloud as people joined hands across the aisles. In the closing prayer of the
service, Johnson again appealed to God to use Bethel as a tool of transformation in
Redding.
"We pray right now for the peace, the soundness of mind, the prosperity to help this city
and this region," he prayed. "We confess Lord, we know that you've tucked a blessing
for us in the blessing you've given to this city. We pray for this in Jesus' name."

his daughter is in her first year and his wife in her second. Wade, who had to return to Texas for work, visits his wife and daughter and attends services several
times a year.

Bethel Church has seen extensive growth over the past decade as the focus of the
church has shifted to training people in prophecy, healing and other "supernatural gifts
of God" taught under the leadership of Pastor Bill Johnson.
Though about half the estimated 2,200 people attending Bethel left when he took
over in 1996, Johnson said now nearly every church service is full each week,
including the Twin View campus and an overflow room, which could easily add up to
more than 3,000 congregants.
Ask Johnson about the affiliations, goals and purpose of Bethel Church, and he'll say
the church has lots of "friends" who share in the pursuit of affecting the Earth with
heaven, especially Pentecostals and those in the Association of Vineyard Churches.

Bethel Church senior pastor Bill Johnson greets church patrons as they leave Sunday service
Sunday Nov. 29.

Bethel was part of the General Council of the Assemblies of God until January 2006
when the church membership voted to withdraw their affiliation, and today Johnson
hesitates to link Bethel to a specific movement or group.
Those who examine the practices of Bethel identify it as being part of a larger movement
known as the Word of Faith movement. Connected to prominent revivalists and prophets
including Todd Bentley, Patricia King, Bob Jones, and the leadership of the Toronto
Airport Christian Fellowship, the Word of Faith doctrine teaches that faith is a force
through which anything can be done, said John Wolf, founder of the Church Education

Resource Ministries.
Wolf is one of Johnson's many critics and is no stranger to Bethel Church.
'Why wouldn't it be popular?'
Wolf grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and graduated from Simpson University in
2005 with a bachelor's degree in Church Education Ministries, he said, speaking by
phone from his South Carolina office. It was during his time at Simpson that he
first came across Bethel Church and the teachings of Bill Johnson.
On his Web site, www.cerm.info, Wolf said the Word of Faith movement, which is
closely intertwined with the Third Wave movement, blends mysticism and teachings
from metaphysical cults. Mysticism is the pursuit of a divine connection with God
through direct experiences and usually revolves around a practice to encourage and
facilitate the experiences.
"The Bible does not teach that you alone have the power to do things," he said. "The
Bible teaches that God is the one who does things."
The Third Wave movement is based on the belief that there have been three distinct
historical periods in which the Holy Spirit has been extensively active. The first was
the Pentecostal revival around 1906, the second was the Charismatic movement of
the
1960s and the third began in the 1980s with a new commitment to signs, wonders
and supernatural experiences with God.
"Bethel thinks they can train people in the supernatural ministry and they can go out
and heal people and raise the dead," Wolf said. "It's false teaching. Every healing I've
heard a Third Wave person (talk about) can't be verified."
One of the core differences between these movements and mainstream Christianity is
that most Christian denominations teach that miracles stopped with the original
apostles of Jesus, while the Third Wave/Word of Faith teach that miracles and
supernatural gifts continue today, Wolf said.
He said Johnson mocks the word of God with his conversational, comedic preaching
style and believes the feel-good messages of prosperity and miracles are what keep
people coming.
"He preaches a seeker-friendly message," he said. "He says what they want to hear.

People go to that church because they want to get healed. People go

there because they want to get a million dollars. Why wouldn't it be
popular?"
Speaking out
After a strange experience with an erratic Bethel School of Supernatural
Ministry student who baby-sat his children, Bart McCurdy of
Cottonwood decided to find out for himself what was going on at
Bethel.
McCurdy said he attended a Friday night service at the church, during
which he saw people painting on stage, dancing and flailing around on
the ground. He found their worship music unconventional when one line
of the same song was played for at least 11 minutes, he said.
McCurdy said the repetitive music, dancing, painting and excessive
stimuli serve to get people worked up into an emotional frenzy where
they're expecting to see miraculous things.
"They come looking for that feel-good feeling, that high, for supposed
miracles, supposed signs and wonders, speaking in tongues, gold dust,
diamonds, feathers. ... It seems like they're just ready for it," he said.
Once, as she ran through her house frantically searching for her journals,
the baby sitter told McCurdy the anti-Christ was in her house and Jesus
was in hell saving people, he said. Shortly after that, she went into a
trancelike state and said she felt 20 feet tall before losing consciousness,
he said. The behavior made him believe she was demon- possessed, he
said.
McCurdy said he regularly downloads podcasts of Bethel messages and
hasn't heard the Christian gospel message taught at Bethel. His Web
site, www.heraldingtruth.com, is to educate people on what he believes
are false teachings and challenge those involved in the movement, he
said.
"I see Bethel and those in this movement as idolaters," he said. "They
worship the 'gifts' or the signs and wonders, rather than the creator, or

the savior."
Signs and wonders
When "angel feathers" first started to fall at Bethel Church, Bill Johnson
thought birds had nested in the air conditioning ducts, he said.
"Then it happened in a restaurant and all different places - on an
airplane," he said. "I
don't know, I don't teach it, it just happens."
Johnson said he bases his belief that the feathers are a sign from God on
a Bible verse that says, "there is healing in his wings," and he doesn't try
to explain it.
"I don't want to be able to explain everything," he said. "Then I'll have a
God that looks like me. That's not very impressive."
Bud Press, director of the Christian Research Service based in North
Carolina, devotes his time to researching claims made by Christians for
the purpose of debunking or confirming the claims. Bethel is part of the
Signs and Wonders movement, within the Word of Faith movement, he
said. Aside from claims of angel feathers, people in the movement say
diamonds and gold dust show up at church and in their homes, he said.
Press said he contacted many church leaders, including Johnson, who
claimed to have angel feathers, asking them to send some for a study.
Most ignored him but one obliged and sent a package containing a few
feathers, which Press said he took to
ornithologists, scientists who study birds.
David H. Ellis, an ornithologist and chairman of the Union for the
Conservation of Raptors' Science Advisory Board, was one such scientist.
In his responding statement, dated Nov. 12, 2008, Ellis wrote: "The
feathers you sent me are very obviously like normal bird feathers, and
there is nothing about them to suggest they are other than bird."
Press said there is nothing in the Bible to back up the claims of angel
feathers but there are a host of other explanations.

"Birds shed feathers all the time, even in flight," he said. "It's nothing to
see a feather floating down from a building or something like that. But if
you're caught up in the deception and went to church last night and they
talked about feathers falling from heaven ... immediately you're going to
think it's a feather from heaven."
Press said he believes the signs and wonders movement is spiritually
dangerous and cited Bible passages that warn against it.
On his Web site, Press links to the story of a Washington man who was
caught and later admitted to planting gemstones in an Arizona Vineyard
church, claiming they were put there by God.
"Jesus himself warned that a corrupt generation, a deceptive generation,
seeks after signs and wonders," he said. "Because individuals have been
caught red-handed spreading around not only angel feathers but diamonds,
precious gems, gold dust from heaven and all of that, it's very clearly
deception."
Making Bethel home
Mary and Mark Morin moved their family to Redding from Colorado Springs,
Colo., to go to Bethel Church, but not without reservations.
Bethel is well known for its connection with the Toronto Airport
Christian Fellowship (TACF) and the Vineyard churches, but both
churches are controversial flash points in charismatic Christianity,
Mary Morin, 51, said.
The TACF was one of the Association of Vineyard Churches, which is part of
the Third Wave movement, until the Toronto Blessing revival in 1994. The
strange behavior exhibited by those experiencing "the anointing of God"
caused a rift between the Vineyard churches and TACF.
The Morins weren't sure what to think of Bethel's association with the two
groups because they believed in God's supernatural powers but thought
certain aspects of the movement might be too extreme for them.
"But they're the main ones seeing signs and wonders so it was always

sort of a love- hate thing," she said. "Do we want to throw in our lot? This
thing looks awful weird. ... But we're desperate."
The Morins attended New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., while Ted
Haggard was pastor and endured several years of drama after the pastor
admitted to a homosexual affair and a gunman later opened fire outside
the church as Sunday services were wrapping up.
When Mark Morin, 59, became sick with alkalosis in early 2008 after
unintentionally overdosing on alkaline drops for a year, he and his son
decided to drive to Bethel so he could be healed, he said.
Alkalosis is a condition where the body has too much alkali, which can
cause muscle spasms, twitching, numbness, difficulty breathing and, in
extreme cases, can lead to a coma. Mark Morin said he would put the
drops in his green tea every day because he thought it would purify the
drink and prevent levels of acid within his body from getting too high.
While he wasn't healed on the trip, what the Morins found instead was a
strength in the presence of God unlike they'd found anywhere else, Mark
Morin said.
Since they started attending Bethel, their children have experienced
prophetic gifts and holy laughter, he said.
"I believe with all my heart God wanted us to come to Bethel," he said. "We
were happy, we were in our dream house and we had a successful business.
God used alkaline drops that I misused to get me to Bethel."
Responding with love
Bethel's mission is to change society by being a blessing to Redding, bringing
prosperity, healing and God's supernatural powers to Earth "as it is in
heaven," Johnson said.
He's heard it all. He's heard people say Bethel is a cult, that he's a false
prophet and that he tries to model after healing evangelist Benny Hinn.
"I don't have a high value for how I'm labeled by somebody
else," he said.

People come to Bethel because they're desperate for something real and
the passion sometimes scares people, he said. But at the end of the day,
all that matters to him is that he was honest to his heart, he said.
"There's too many people to touch in this world," he said. "Why shoot at
each other?" Reporter Amanda Winters can be reached at 225-8372 or

California are real off the wall wackos and have their own
terms to define their stupidity and demonic experiences

Faith healings, dead raising

teams part of Bethel experience
By Amanda Winters

Monday, January 18, 2010

Jonathan Lair stood in the middle of Bethel Church's Healing Room on Dec. 5 and
joyfully got straight to the point: "I'm going to get new feet today."
A pastor at a church in San Diego, Lair said he came to Redding so he could go to
the Healing Rooms at Bethel and be cured of a painful condition that has caused his
feet to be flat his whole life. Lair, 27, was barefoot and had rolled his jeans up
above his ankles, exposing his flat, calloused feet.
"I will see my arches healed," he said just before two women on Bethel's Healing
Rooms
Ministry team approached him. "I really believe that."

As Lair closed his eyes and bowed his head, the two older women stood on either
side of him and began to pray quietly, tapping him on the chest and back. They
motioned for another woman, one with a ram's horn known as a shofar, to come
to where they stood. She began to blow the shofar at Lair's feet and in moments
he fell to the ground, shaking.
Healing Rooms
Every Saturday morning from 9 to 10:30 a.m., two large rooms in Bethel
Church are transformed into the Healing Rooms Ministry; a place where people
can come and receive prayer for any kind of ailment.
Randy Castle, who was acting director that Saturday, said the healing rooms
generally see 100 or so visitors - and up to 300 on a busy weekend.
Four teams with about 70 people each work the Healing Rooms. Many pray over
visitors, commanding the body to be healed, speak in tongues and invite the
presence of the Holy Spirit through impartation, or laying on of hands. Others,
Castle said, play worship music in the "Encounter Room" where people can go bask
in the presence of God.
Music performed in the Encounter Room made its way through the Healing Room
speakers, repeating "God is good, God is good, God is good," while worshippers
prayed, danced, laughed, cried, fell down and lay on the floor under what they say is
the power of God. According to
Bethel leadership, this is the room where people are cured of cancer, broken
bones, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis and a host of other diseases.
Supporters of the supernatural
Adam Short, a 28-year-old from North Carolina, runs www.Healingherald.org
where he posts stories of miraculous healings from the Healing Rooms and
beyond.
Short is a third-year intern at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM)
and said he has received words of knowledge and signs from God leading him to
people who needed to be healed.
During an April 2008 mission trip to Mexico with Bethel, Short said he noticed a
man with a full leg cast.
"There was a thought that came to my mind, which I believe was God, and said,
'This man will walk out of here healed,' " he said.
Short said he prayed for the man and the man said the painful bone spur under the
cast had dissolved. Short then prayed for the man's tunnel vision to be healed and it
was, he said. During the prayers, he made declarations, he said.
"In this case we command the eyes to line up according to heaven," he said. "We're
commanding those eyes to come back into alignment as to the purpose that God
made for them because God made eyes to see, not to be confined to a tunnel."
Short said his goal for the Web site is for people to be encouraged by the good

news and not question it.

"Nobody ever questions bad news," he said.

'Things just happen'
Bill Johnson, Bethel's senior pastor, settled into a plush black couch in his office, his
arm around an animal-print pillow. Before anything else, he wanted to talk about
healing.
"We just had another brain tumor case of cancer healed," he said. "We have a lot of
that kind of stuff happen. It's verified by doctors, they do the tests and the cancer's
gone. We have a lot of that sort of thing - miracles."
Johnson, who himself required hernia surgery last year and wears prescription
glasses, teaches that the supernatural miracles that happened in Biblical times still
happen today if people just value God's presence and open themselves up to
receiving it.
"Because we have such value for his presence with us, things just happen," he
said. Johnson said that healings happen all the time and he doesn't feel he
n eeds to provide any documentation or hard evidence to inquiring minds. He
also said he doesn't check up on people who come to Bethel for healing - he
doesn't have the time.
"If you're sitting here and you say, 'I've been deaf in my left ear since childbirth,'
and I pray for you and then I have you close your right ear and I whisper 10 feet
away and you can hear me, I don't feel like I need to get a doctor's report," he
said. "I'm happy you're happy you can hear. That's enough for me."
Though he had people praying for his hernia to heal early in 2009, the condition
still required surgery and Johnson said that was OK because God can use doctors
as well as he can use Bethel's healing teams, though both are necessary.
"The doctors serve a great purpose but they'll tell you they can't fix everything," he
said. "Some things need to be fixed by a miracle or just aren't fixed at all."
Johnson said in his sermons he often tells the congregation stories of miraculous
healings to encourage them. One such story was about a group in the small, rural
city of Shelton, Wash., whose goal it is to raise people from the dead.

Dead Raising Team

In an Oct. 19, 2008, sermon, Johnson shared a story about a former BSSM student
who moved to Washington State and started a ministry called the Dead Raising
Team.
"DRT," he repeated the acronym dramatically at several points during the story.
In a video of the sermon, Johnson said the team got approval from Mason County
to be listed along with other county services and had been given badges so they

can go behind police lines if there's an accident or fatality. Johnson told the
audience, who erupted in shouts of "come on, Jesus" and cheers, that there had
been one resurrection so far.
Marty Best, manager of the Mason County Department of Emergency Management,
said he met the Dead Raising Team and suggested they become volunteers for his
department so they could have access to emergency situations.
"Our mandate is to protect life, property and environment," he said. "If a person
is raised by a defibrillator and adrenaline or by prayer they still return to their
loved ones."
Best said the team must first get the permission of the unit commander before
they can start praying over a fatality and they can never impose it on anyone.
In contrast to what Johnson said, the DRT is not included in the services listed on
the Mason County Web sited. Nor have there been any resurrections, Best said.
"Not yet," he added.
Johnson said the resurrection he mentioned in his sermon was from a DRT report
and that he never said it had happened behind police lines.
SkepDoc weighs in
Harriet Hall, a retired family physician and former Air Force flight surgeon, writes
a column in "Skeptic" magazine and "O," The Oprah Magazine, on topics
including science, alternative medicine and what she calls "quackery."
"When faith healings have been diligently investigated by qualified doctors, they
have found no evidence that the patients were actually helped," said Hall, who also
writes under the name "SkepDoc."
After Hall took a look at the healing testimonies posted on Bethel's Web site specifically addressing the testimony of the woman healed of brain cancer - she
had a host of questions.
"Where are the medical reports? Where are the X-rays? Why was this case not
written up in a medical journal? What happened to the patient afterwards?" she
said in an e-mail.
Hall said the Journal of the American Medical Association formerly featured a
testimony of a patient who was cured of cancer on one page with the patient's death
certificate printed on the opposite page, showing that the patient had died of cancer
shortly after providing the testimony.
Faith healings, Hall said, are never properly documented or investigated because
the people involved want and need to believe. Without evidence, the claims ring
hollow, she said.
"If you challenge the pastor to participate in a formal study to establish that these
healings are really occurring, you will get lots of rationalizations and backpedaling
with no understanding of how science can go about testing for the truth of a

claim," she said. "They have no interest in finding out if the healing is 'real' because
they already 'know' it is real for them."
Indeed, Johnson said he has no interest in proving anything to anybody.
Hall closed her e-mail with a warning: "Faith healing can be deadly when
patients are led to believe they don't need conventional medical treatment."
Waking up
Back in the Healing Room, Jonathan Lair lay peacefully on the floor, covered in a
dark green blanket, while the three women continued to pray over him and blow
the shofar at his feet. At one point he got up and hopped up and down in the
middle of the room where people were painting pictures on easels, before lying
back down again. Eventually, one by one, they walked away and left him lying still
on the floor.
Lair slowly sat up 10 minutes later and looked around. He looked at his feet,
then stood up. He said he had expected bones to crack and form an arch but his
feet were still flat. "I look at them, and they don't look healed," he said.
But his faith was not shaken, he said, because he felt so loved and maybe the
physical healing was secondary to the spiritual experience he had.
And he still believes that, someday, God will heal his feet.

Bethel is a demonic church that exists only to rip off believers.

Bethel is no different than all other forms of religion - all about brainwashing....and money. From the begining of organized religion they have all
been corrupt. Bethel is worse than Mormans at your door though as they
approach you in public and "pray" for you...crazy crazy crazy crazy...oh well,
as long as it doesn't impact me, I don't care...just don't "pray" for me!

I have fond memories of Bethel back when Ray Larson was the pastor there. I
attended the old Bethel that use to be on Bechelli, and I was a little girl when

it switched to its new location. It's sad what happened to Ray and his family.
Larson's wife, Becky, was a very on fire for God Christian; she is with the Lord
now. Anyhow, I will always hold a special spot for the old Bethel in my heart.
-

I too attended Bethel when it was on North Bechelli and

Earl was pastor. I was married in that church. I have an
issue with a church that has investments as a business.
Jesus threw the money lenders out of the temple.
I don't understand what kind of msg it is supposed to deliver when the
pastor rakes in over three K in a year, and there are homeless and
starving people in the streets of his churches home. That's the main
reason I have no respect for the Catholic church.
Oh well, I'll stop my rant here.

It absolutely amazes me that the Record Searchlight can spend this much
space lauding the accolades of Bethel Church, yet we see little to nothing
about state and national political issues. This article reads like a paid
recruiting advertisement for Bethel Church. I wonder if St. Joseph's, Our
Lady of Mercy, Little Country Church and ALL the other local churches were
to demand equal coverage - would they get this much attention.
This article is WAAAAAY overboard - and makes me wonder if the reporter or
the editor(s)at RS are church members. I guarantee you that spouting
religious commentary
- like the "prayer for Redding" at the end of the article - is going to turn
off LOTS of readers - and this paper can ill afford that to happen.

Religion and undying faith (not to mention donations) in some selfproclaimed leader is for the weak willed - ever wonder why church
leaders are called "shepherds" and their congregations "flocks" - like
sheep, these people are susceptible to mind manipulative suggestion,
and will follow along and do anything their leader does or tells them to
do.

RS - Please keep your religious opinions to yourself or dump articles like

this onto some "Sunday Church Page" - but do not presume to spout
prayers at your readers on the front page!

Bill Johnson is
in danger
All I know is I awoke this morning with the words: Bill
Johnson is in danger. He is in danger because he
supernaturally fathered Todd Bentley by being a
chief apologist for him as well as a catalyst for the commissioning
ceremony of
June 23rd at Lakeland.

Johnson was responsible for this travesty because he relied upon Bob Jones
false prophecies and demonic visions about Bentley, number one, and
number two, Bill Johnson decreed that Bentley needed to be
commissioned by people as a REACTION to the criticism and Berean
stance that many charismatics, myself included, had with Todd Bentleys
Emma angel, etc.
Bill Johnson has said that he made phone calls to Bob Jones, Peter Wagner
and Che Ahn in order to counteract the criticisms of Todd Bentley at
Lakeland and then, using specious reasoning, divined that the right thing to
do would be a public commissioning ceremony that Johnson somehow
thought would stop the discernment and criticism of Bentley.
Normal charismatics or Christians cannot understand this sort of
reasoning. Johnson wanted a show of force on the stage at
Lakeland for Todd Bentley. He got it.
But then every one of the men and women there were shown to be
foolish and false for attending and going surety for a stranger
by sticking their neck out for Todd Bentley, who was in sin with
his mistress at the time.
This is the subtle aggression of the NAR. It flared up in Johnson last
year when someone challenged him about Bentley and Johnson
basically told that person to jump in a lake.
Rick Joyners recent public blackmail of Lee Grady is another show
of force by these NAR apostles.
This desire for a show of force or power in the natural is because
of a number of factors for those infected with the false teachings
of the NAR.
You see, God cannot answer the prayers of people who think THEY
are alligning the heavenlies. God cannot answer the prayers of
people who cavort with or try to get information out of demons.
God is a jealous God, and when He moves, He always confirms it
and always gets the glory! The NAR think they are so special and
elite, they dont realize they are trying to steal Gods glory for
themselves
so what happens is God doesnt answer their prayers. He allows
them to make utter fools of themselves, as happened at the June
23rd commissioning ceremony of Todd Bentley. But there is a
deeper even more problematic issue for those of the NAR who
follow false teachings of Hamon/Joyner/Jones/Wagner
Since God cannot answer their prayers, they inculcate a spirit of

unbelief. It is a horrible, hellish situation they find themselves in,

if any of them ever had true faith.
The more they practice the NAR foolishness, the more God does not answer
their prayers, and the more they doubt God and the more they get into
unbelief. So then they start to need a sign. Or signs.
Why do they start to need a sign from God at that point?
Because they have prayed (in their own perverted, C Peter Wagner strategic
warfare
falseness) and God has not answered them, and they now doubt inwardly
that God
even exists. They are in Unbelief. So they need a sign to keep them going.
A personal prophetic word. They become hooked on seeking a word or
false drunkenness or other manifestations.
They have fallen into the very trap Moses and Jesus Himself warn
against It is a wicked generation that seeketh a sign.
But the NARbots need the sign to convince them God is even there
failing to recognize that the only separation we ever have from God is
because of one thing OUR OWN SIN.
The NARbots like Bill Johnson failed to see the sin on Todd Bentley because
they no longer understand that it is, and always has been, a problem of SIN
on the earth, not a failure to pray correctly or having commissioning
ceremonies. None of that mitigates SIN. Bill Johnson deviously covered up
the sin of Todd Bentley muscled forward with a show of force at Lakeland
to SHUT DOWN TODDS CRITICS. Yet the Lord has the last Word and last
laugh.
So what I heard in the spirit this morning was that Bill Johnson is in
danger because he protected Todd Bentley and became an apologist for
him. He should instead have openly rebuked Bentley as the apostle Paul
or Peter would have done, and had Bentley repent. Johnson then took on
Bentleys critics with a vengeance and blamed the CRITICS, not Todd, for
Todds sin.
An idea that never crossed my mind before this morning was that Todd
Bentley has said that he was told in one of his supernatural demon
encounters to go out and have Jill Austin pray for him and birth him into
his public ministry. She apparently did this four years before Lakeland.
What I heard this morning was that Bill Johnson was indeed a
demonic father to
Todd Bentley while Jill Austin had been his mother.
Then the name Doug Addison came up for me.

I had no idea about the NAR myself four years ago when the big prophet
Bob Jones had a word for Doug Addison and his minstry.
Bob Jones word for Doug Addision was Satan is going to kill you if you stay
in Los Angeles. A few disputed this at the time Jones record of prophesy
has always been spotty and false but the fear mongering about this word
caused Doug Addison to quickly pack it up and high-tail-it out to you
guessed it North Carolina and the weird house called Morovian Falls
where Joyner had some of his visions with Paul Cain and Bob Jones.
This is the same little place that one of Rick Joyners former followers wrote
about how disappointed she had been when she finally saw this little place
and could not believe all the hype surrounding it.
Anyway, Bob Jones effectively took out Doug Addisons ministry in L.A.
Im no fan of TBN but i remember the Arthur Blessit guy saying that at the
begnning of the time when he started to carry that huge wood cross
around the world, a number of doctors told him he was going to die, and
should not go on the trip. He ignored them. Similarly, why would Doug
Addison heed Bob Jones word?
Somehow this is related to Bill Johnson heeding Bob Jones word about him
being sick. I think Johnson is in grave danger for failing to recognize he is
basically allowing a prophecy from the Antichrist. Or at least, the AntiChrists
False Prophet in the person of Bob Jones.
Dear Bill Johnson:
How many of Bob Jones prophetic words even in the last year about
Lakeland have now proven to be false? Bill dont you realize how dangerous
it is to listen to and agree with false prophets like Bob Jones? I pray you
repent and shake off the dust on all this false teaching and witchy false
praying.
Also, Bill, did you swear any blood-oaths with any of the NAR? We
need to know what was done in secret between all these Wagner
Apostles so we can do as Jesus instructed and shout it from the
rooftops Jesus did nothing in secret, as you might recall, Mr.
Johnson. Be careful, Bill Johnson. God sends the delusion on those
who no longer tremble at His Word

REVIEW OF BILL JOHNSON

WHEN HEAVEN INVADES EARTH

By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jul 5, 2011 in Current Issues, Features, New

By Apprising Ministries special correspondent Bob DeWaay

Bill Johnson of Redding, California has become a popular teacher in one
of the latest iterations of the Signs and Wonders movement. His book,
When Heaven Invades Earth, reveals his underlying theology.
Johnson believes that there will be a great end-time revival that will be
initiated by an Elijah generation[1] (a concept from the heretical Latter
Rain movement) that shall transcend all other generations of Christians in
regard to their ability to do great works of power. Johnson claims the
following about himself and associates: We will carry the Elijah anointing
in preparing for the return of the Lord in the same way that John the
Baptist carried the Elijah anointing and prepared the people for the coming
of the Lord (Johnson: 184)[2].
Supposedly these elitists will set off a great revival of signs and wonders
greater than those of Jesus. This miracle explosion, they expect, will cause a
great revival before the return of Christ. Johnson states, I live for the
revival that is unfolding and believe it will surpass all previous moves
combined, bringing more than one billion souls into the Kingdom (Johnson:
23).
The basic premise is that God always wants to do abundant and remarkable
miracles but is kept from doing so by the fear and unbelief of the church.
God awaits the arrival of specially anointed and enlightened Christians who
will make it possible for Him to bring at long last an invasion of heaven to
earth before the return of Christ. That is the point of Johnsons title. His
subtitle is A Practical Guide to a Life of Miracles. Accordingly, with the right
information, zeal, desire, piety, faith and anointing, any Christian can
make the supernatural natural (Johnson: 133).
In this article I will show from Johnsons book that he has departed from
orthodox Christian teaching in many serious ways. He teaches the heretical
kenosis doctrine about Christ. He denies the Reformation principle of sola
scriptura. He embraces pietism, elitism, subjectivism, fideism, dominion
theology, and many other errors. I will claim that his supposed end-time
revival is actually end-time apostasy.
How to Introduce Heresy
As I read Johnsons book, I noted the various errors in it by category. At
the end of the process the largest number of entries was under antischolastic bias. Johnson is firmly against careful scholarship based on
sound exegesis of Scripture. To him, such study is likely to bring one into
bondage and spiritual death. Sadly, this bias is widespread in current

Apostolic Re

evangelicalism, but Johnson is quite blatant in his rejection of scholarship.

Johnson claims, For decades the Church has been guilty of creating
doctrine to justify their lack of power. . . (Johnson: 116). It is hard to
imagine what problem he is reacting to when most of our evangelical
educational institutions are committed to postmodern mysticism, with their
heroes being mystics like Dallas Willard and Richard Foster. It is hard to
find a Bible college or seminary that does not promote spiritual
formation, which is merely a fancy term for Roman Catholic mysticism.
Yet Johnson decries the presence of doctrine. We will see later just how
willing he is to depart from orthodox doctrine.
He resorts to an often misused passage that promotes his anti-scholastic
bias: A powerless Word is the letter not the Spirit. And we all know, The
letter kills, but the Spirit gives life (Johnson: 116). This twisting of Pauls
meaning in 2Corinthians 3:6 has a long history of use to promote
subjectivism and mysticism. The false implication is that studying the Bible
will kill you spiritually. The context shows that Paul was speaking of the
letters written on stone (verse 3), meaning the Decalogue. Paul explains
how the law kills in Romans 7:5, 6. It kills because of our sinful passions
that it exposes, not because it is studied for what it means.[3]
For example, does you shall not steal have some secret, mystical meaning
that can only be assessed by certain elite persons with subjective spiritual
impressions, or does it mean what it says? It means what it says. But to
truly live as a person who is free from the sin of stealing we need the grace
of God that comes through the gospel. In 2Corinthians 3, Paul is speaking
of those who have the Law but reject Christ. Bill Johnson is warning
Christians that studying the Bible will kill them. In so doing he abuses the
passage and lowers the value of Scripture in the minds of his readers.
Johnson warns against a powerless Word. The only way Gods Word lacks
power is if we refuse to believe and obey it. The suggestion is false and
abusive to the Lords flock that people like Johnson, who refuse to be
taught the truth but relish signs and wonders, have power while those
who love and believe Gods Word are powerless.
It is easy to see where Johnson is taking his attack against Christian
scholarship:
Those who feel safe because of their intellectual grasp of Scriptures enjoy a
false sense of security. None of us has a full grasp of Scripture, but we all
have the Holy Spirit. He is our common denominator who will always lead
us into truth. But to follow Him, we must be willing to follow off the map
to go beyond what we know. (Johnson: 76)
We will see in the next section just exactly where Johnson has gone off
the map and where he wants to take us. The claim that we cannot know
the Scripture but can know what the Holy Spirit is saying by other means
is absurd. The Bible claims that Scripture is the Holy Spirit speaking to the
church. The Holy Spirit inspired the Scriptures. We understand the Bible

using our intellect.

Johnsons approach is to use the person of the Holy Spirit as an excuse to
reject scholarly Bible study in favor of undefined, subjective religious
experiences. He further denigrates the Bible:
But in reality, the Bible is a closed book. Anything I get from the
Word without God will not change my life. It is closed to insure that I
remain dependent on the Holy Spirit. (Johnson: 93)
His categories are false. The Bible is the Holy Spirit speaking to us and its
power is not dependant on us using religious experience to escape its
boundaries. Any lack of life-changing power is due to unbelief, not the
meaning of Scripture as correctly understood. But Johnson claims that the
Holy Spirit leads us off the map. Thus he denigrates sola scriptura.
The absurdity of Johnsons claim is such that it amazes me how many are
deceived by it. For example, the claim that the Holy Spirit leads us into
truth (which He does through Scripture) by some subjective means that go
off the map and beyond an intellectual approach is disingenuous. Those
who go off the map are going somewhere. If they have gotten information
directly from the Spirit about where they think they should go and then
follow it, they are using their intellect as well. The subjective information
from the spirit realm must register in someones mind in order for them to
act on it.
So if the intellect is as bad thing when contemplating the Scriptures, why is
it a good thing when determining which subjective impressions to follow?
But Johnson warns, The Church has all too often lived according to an
intellectual approach to the Scriptures, void of the Holy Spirits influence.
This false dilemma (i.e., either intellect or Spirit) fools his readers into
thinking that if they attend hyped up meetings such as Johnson promotes,
the Spirit is at work; whereas if they were to carefully study Gods oncefor- all revealed Word they would be stuck in a powerless situation
(Johnson: 76).
By discounting careful Bible study, scholarship, and using ones mind
Johnson disarms his readers to the point that they are susceptible to
heresies such as those he teaches. For example, Reaction to error usually
produces
error (Johnson: 51). If this is true, why did Paul write Galatians,
Colossians, and other of his epistles to correct error? Johnson brags that
he doesnt read any books of people who disagree with his version of
revivalism. He consistently downplays or rejects the value of scholarly
study. He says: Its in the environment of worship that we learn things
that go way beyond what our intellect can grasp (Johnson: 44). That
statement reminds me of one I read from a New Ager who suggested we
contemplate the sound of one hand clapping. How do we learn things but
they never register on our minds? Probably by subjective, religious feelings

that remain undefined. By such feelings people like the Dalai Lama feel
close to God. But are they?
Johnson Goes Off the Map by Teaching a False Christology
Bill Johnson embraces a doctrine that teaches that during His earthly
ministry Jesus operated only as a man and not God. Johnson claims that
Christ laid aside His divinity. Johnson says, He performed miracles,
wonders, and signs, as a man in right relationship to God . . . . not as God.
If He performed miracles because He was God, then they would be
unattainable for us (Johnson: 29; emphasis and ellipses in original).
Johnsons theology requires that Christians do greater miracles than Jesus.
If Jesus divinity had any influence on His mighty works, then we might
think we could not do the same (and rightly so). So Johnson embraces
what is often called the kenosis heresythat Jesus laid aside His divine
nature. He writes elsewhere: He laid his divinity aside as He sought to
fulfill the assignment given to Him by the Father . . . (Johnson: 79).
Johnsons priority that believers must be able to do signs and wonders
causes him to make many statements that blur the distinction between us
and Christ and thereby diminish the uniqueness of Christ: For us to
become all that God intended, we must remember that Jesus life was a
model of what mankind could become if it were in right relationship with
the Father. (Johnson: 138). On the contrary, the Biblical writers claimed
that Christ was the Creator (see John 1:3; Hebrews 1:2). Jesus was
affirmed to be the unique divine son (Mark 9:7) by a voice from heaven.
Jesus deity was affirmed many places in the gospels. The gospel writers
used Jesus mighty works to prove His deity. If Johnson is right and Jesus
had laid aside His deity, then the mighty works prove only that Jesus
learned what anyone
could learn if he had the right faith and relationship to God. The claims of
the gospels thereby become moot. Jesus is no longer unique, but only a
special enlightened one who could lead the way to many such enlightened
ones in the future. Thus we have a New Age Christ rather than the Biblical
one.
If Johnson is correct and we can do greater works than Jesus (based on his
misinterpretation of John 14:12; Johnson: 136), then whoever did greater
works would have even greater reason to make himself the object of
someones faith and worship.[4] The apologetic that points to Jesus life
and miracles as proof of His deity would become worthless because others
could do the same.
The kenosis doctrine is based on a misuse of Philippians 2:7 where Paul
says that Jesus emptied Himself. False teachers claim that Jesus emptied
Himself of deity and became only a man during the Incarnation. This claim
is tantamount to the outright denial of Christs deity. This important issue
is missed on people like Johnson, who attack the validity of Christian

scholarship. Johnsons denial of Christs deity during His earthly ministry is

the same as the Word of Faith heresys denial of Jesus deity when He died
on the cross. They claim he lost His divinity and suffered in hell as a man.
Both denials are blatant heresy. Let me explain why.
A truly theistic understanding of deity has certain necessary definitions. The
most basic definition is eternal, non-contingent existence. The reason
such a definition is essential to Christian theology is to distinguish God as
He has revealed Himself in Scripture from other deities. The God of the
Bible is unique: To you it was shown that you might know that the Lord,
He is God; there is no other besides Him (Deuteronomy 4:35). The true
God is eternal, and He created the world out of nothing. All false gods are
created (if they have any status of existence), and thus are not eternal.
The prophet wrote: Thus you shall say to them, The gods that did not
make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from
under the heavens (Jeremiah 10:11). The New Testament claimed that
Jesus was the Creator to establish His true deity.
Non-contingence is a corollary to Gods eternal existence. If God existed
from all eternity before anything else existed, there is nothing outside of
God that could have caused His existence. This means that God as God is
not contingent on anything outside of Himself. This is important because in
Bill Johnsons Christology, Christs deity is contingent. It goes away during
the Incarnation only to return later. That which comes and goes is not
eternal and non-contingent. This is the same fatal error of the Word of Faith
heresy and similar to other such errors that were condemned in church
history. The heretic Arius was famous for saying about Christ, There was a
time when He was not. Various Christological heresies were rejected by
early church councils and the definition of Chalcedon (451) stands as a valid
definition based on the true teaching of Scripture.[5]
What does this have to do with Bill Johnson and kenosis? If Jesus divinity
can be laid aside then it was never true divinity. Deity is not an attribute
that comes and goes. It is or it is not. If lost and then regained it is
contingent, and if contingent, then not true divinity. Anything less leads to
every form of heresy, cult, and New Age teaching. If divinity can be
gained, then created man can possibly attain it. The Bible denies this.
Furthermore, if divinity can be laid aside it is not divinity. R C Sproul
explains:
If God laid aside one of his attributes, the immutable undergoes a mutation,
the infinite suddenly stops being infinite; it would be the end of the
universe. God cannot stop being God and still be God. So we cant talk
properly of God laying aside his deity to take humanity upon himself.[6]
If Jesus laid aside divinity, that would be proof that He never had true
divinity. Thus Johnsons doctrine is a de facto denial of the deity of Christ.
Christological heresy is heresy. Period. So what does Philippians 2:7 imply

that Jesus did empty Himself of? The answer is not divinity, which is eternal
and cannot be compromised, but divine prerogatives. Pauls point was
about Christs humility that we should emulate, not His ontological status
as God. Sproul explains:
I think the context of Philippians 2 makes it very clear that what he
emptied himself of was not his deity, not his divine attributes, but his
prerogatives his glory and his privileges. He willingly cloaked his glory
under the veil of this human nature that he took upon himself. Its not
that the divine nature stops being divine in order to become human. In the
Transfiguration, for example (Matthew 17:1-13), we see the invisible
divine nature break through and become visible, and Jesus is transfigured
before the eyes of his disciples.[7]
The true doctrine of Christ is that in the Incarnation He took upon Himself
humanity, not that he laid aside deity. The Incarnate Christ is fully human
and fully God. In theology this is called the hypostatic union. Johnson
claims that the Holy Spirit has led him off the map. I agree that Johnson
is indeed off the map. The map for Christians is Holy Spirit-inspired
Scripture. Our doctrine is to come from the Bible (2Timothy 3:16). The
map draws out boundaries and when we cross those boundaries we are
not merely lost, we are in ungodly error. The Holy Spirit does not lead
Gods people off the map that He has given us, once for all.
So Johnson gives us a double whammy. First, he warns against scholarship
and scholarly Bible study under pains of becoming spiritually dead. Then he
introduces heresy that his followers have no means to discern because they
have been scared away from the necessary tools for discernment. This is
how entire movements depart from Christian orthodoxy and are plunged
into theological ruin. The kenosis heresy is a damnable heresy and is as
egregious as the Arian heresy, which still has life in modern times through
the Jehovahs Witnesses. Christological heresy is not an aid to the working
of the Holy Spirit as Johnson claims, but it grieves the Holy Spirit.
Likely Johnsons thousands of followers have no idea they are being led
into rank heresy. They come for the signs and wonders in the hope that
they will do greater miracles than Jesus. They are mesmerized by the
claims that they shall be part of an Elijah generation that will defeat evil on
the earth before the return of Christ. Very few will ever realize that the
doctrine of Christ they are taught departs from the teaching of the church
that has been embraced by nearly every Christian group for centuries.
It could be argued that the definition of Chalcedon is unbiblical (which it is
not). But the burden of proof lies with those who would deny it. One cannot
lightly reject the doctrine of Christ that has held sway for centuries. To do
so
would require extensive theological work and Biblical argument designed to
persuade conservative Christian scholars. One cannot go into such an

undertaking lightly. But Johnson does, glibly denying the deity of Christ for
no better reason than he thinks that doing so will likely make it easier for
Christians to think they can do greater miracles than Jesus. He doesnt
offer any scholarly proof that his kenosis doctrine is Biblical. Why should
anyone take him seriously? Sadly, thousands do.
Signs and Wonders Theory
More important than anything else, for Johnson and followers, is the
presence of signs and wondersthe more the better. The reason for this is
that they are a necessary prerequisite for the hoped for end-time revival
that will be initiated by an Elijah generation of elite Christians. Says
Johnson, Our mandate is simple: raise up a generation that can openly
display the raw power of God (Johnson 27, 28). Having such power is
what he calls an authentic gospel because powerlessness is inexcusable
(Johnson: 27). We are the problem, he claims, because God wants to do
miracles but He cannot because of our bad thinking. Miracles await the
coming of a generation of enlightened ones who will know the secret. Thus
we have a New Age definition of miracles.[8]
To show that in Johnsons theology the supernatural is something that can
be learned and mastered by man (thus robbing it of valid supernatural
status), we see that he has a school of the supernatural. It is called the
Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.[9] Once the supernatural can be
mastered by learnable and reproducible processes, it is no longer
supernatural, but natural. Thus in the New Age we have A Course in
Miracles. In such thinking, there is nothing truly supernatural because all
of nature is infused with God (panentheism). Given his distaste for
scholarship, Johnson likely does not see the implications of his school of
the supernatural.
If there is a process to be learned or a religious state to be achieved
whereby miracles can be produced by humans at will, such miracles
become natural events. Johnson claims, The purpose of the anointing is to
make the supernatural natural (Johnson 133). This sounds like the
opening of a whole new world, but it involves bringing the concept of
supernatural into a panentheistic world view rather than a Biblical one.
The Biblical concept of supernatural requires a theistic view of the universe
in which the transcendent God of the Bible created the world out of
nothing, but stays involved in His creation providentially. God can and does
intervene in human affairs. The work of Christ is truly supernatural. Christ
was not some enlightened One who learned and shared secrets that would
work for anyone else with the same level of enlightenment. That view of
Christ is that of the New Age. Christs works were truly supernatural
because the Creator of the universe was on the scene of history and
proved His true identity.
If the supernatural becomes natural, as Johnson claims, through those

who have a superior anointing, then the uniqueness of Christ is

compromised. The supernatural was always there to be accessed by those
with special experiences and insights, thus it is not truly supernatural, but
part of nature. Miracles, in such a worldview, are not miracles from a
Biblical perspective.
When Paul spoke of power in relationship to the gospel, he spoke of the
power of God to save Jew and gentile through the cross: For I am not
ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone
who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16). Paul
uses the term power the same way in 1Corinthians: For the word of the
cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being
saved it is the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18). Gods power through
the cross saves us from Gods wrath against sin. False teachers can
perform signs and wonders but they have no true power as Paul speaks of
it. The arrogant teachers who came to Corinth had words of knowledge
(gnosis) and wisdom (sophia) but lacked the power of God that saves lost
sinners (1 Corinthians 4:19, 20).
What is truly lost on Johnson and his followers is that the Bible predicts
false signs and wonders at the end of the age. There is no prediction in
Scripture that an invasion of true miracles from God will happen at the
very end. For example Jesus warns: For false Christs and false prophets
will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if
possible, even the elect (Matthew 24:24). Christs are literal anointed
ones. There will be those who claim to be anointed in some special way
that will do great signs and wonders. They are false. Antichrist (whose
name and role is based on the concept of anointed) will do great signs
and wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:9). Paul also predicts end time deception
in 2Timothy chapter 3.
Johnson brushes the possibility of such deception aside by calling these
signs counterfeits (Johnson 110). False signs and wonders as warned
against in the Bible are not sleight-of-hand magic tricks, but real signs
that point to a false message. Thus the discerning of spirits concerns
objectively evaluating teaching (1 John 4:1-5) not subjectively evaluating
apparent miracles. A psychic healing might be a real healing, but it is not
from God. It is known to be false by the false teaching of the healer. If
such a false teacher produced a real, verified healing, the teaching and
teacher would still be false.
By combining signs and wonders with a false Christology that denies the
deity of Christ, Johnson has placed his followers in the center of end time
deception. Now rather than the one Anointed One (Jesus Christ who is
unique), there are many anointed ones who supposedly can do greater
miracles than Jesus. This situation is described in the Bible: Children, it is
the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now
many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour (1

John 2:18). Antichrists as understood from the Greek, are substitute

anointed ones. In the Bible, all Christians are equally anointed by God,
and only Jesus specially anointed, i.e., the Messiah.[10] An elite group of
specially anointed ones who comprise the Elijah generation as taught in
Bill Johnsons Latter Rain theology would qualify as antichrists.
A related question is whether or not Johnson and company are actually
doing greater miracles than Jesus. In Luke 8, Jesus is shown to have
calmed the sea, delivered the most demonized man imaginable, healed the
sick, and raised the dead. Lukes point is that Jesus has power over
nature, Satan, sickness and even death. Thus Jesus is Lord of the universe,
and His claims are true. Do any of Johnsons Elijah generation elite display
greater power and authority than Jesus did in Luke 8? He lists a number of
typical manifestations in a section he entitles, When God Colors Outside
the Lines. They include laughter, gold dust appearing from nowhere, oil
appearing from nowhere, wind in a closed room, a cloud appearing,
fragrance smelled, gems appearing, and feathers falling in meetings
(Johnson: 141). Most of these have no precedence in Scripture, and none
of them is as profound as the Messianic signs of Luke 8.
There is a certain naivet that accompanies those who follow signs and
wonders theory. We once had a regular pastors meeting. At one of these a
pastor attended who had just come from witnessing the so-called Toronto
Blessing (the laughing revival as it was called). He recounted how he was
standing in a food line and one of the attendees began gobbling like a
turkey, strutting around, and using his elbows as turkey wings. The pastor
concluded that God was at work. There is nothing bizarre enough to the
point that true signs and wonders believers will question it. Signs and
wonders that accompany a false Christology such as that of Bill Johnson do
not thereby prove the existence of a great end-time revival. Rather, they
prove the existence of end-time deception as predicted in the Bible.
Dominion Theology
Johnsons theology contains a blend of many problematic movements of
our day. One of them is the dominion teaching, popular in the Word of
Faith movement. The idea is that Satan was able to wrest the earth, and
authority over it, from Adam and Eve, leaving God on the outside having
to figure out a way to get it back. His plan was for Jesus to come and take
it back from Satan (which is what Word of Faith teachers say happened in
hell during Jesus supposed stay thereto wrestle with Satan as a man,
and not God). Jesus then, according to theory, delegated to the church the
job of taking control of the earth back from Satan and putting it under the
church.
Johnson teaches All that Adam owned, including the title deed to the planet
with its corresponding position of rule, became part of the devils spoil
(Johnson: 31). Like others of his ilk, Johnson uses Satans offer of the

kingdoms during Jesus temptation as proof that Satan, not God, had the
keys of authority to the earth (Johnson: 32). Jesus got them back and
gave them to the church (Johnson 32). Proof that we have regained the
dominion
that Adam supposedly lost is to be found in achieving the attributes
promoted by Word of Faith teachers: In Adam and Eves commission to
subdue the earth, they were without sickness, poverty, and sin. Now that
we are restored to His original purpose, should we expect anything less?
(Johnson: 33).
Johnson interprets the Lords Prayer, which is primarily a prayer for the
return on Christ, in terms of his kingdom now theology: This is the
primary purpose for all prayerif it exists in heaven, it is to be loosed on
earth (Johnson: 59). This means that if we do not have problem free lives,
we are lacking faith, praying wrongly, or failing to understand our role as
having dominion. Johnson explains: Such an invasion causes the
circumstances here to line up with heaven (Johnson: 59). This invasion is
in the title of his book.
Johnsons over-realized eschatology sees the sensibilities of many
Christians, informed as they are from the Bible, to be a problem that will
stop revival: The second greatest reason for revivals end [behind
quenching the spirit interpreted as any questioning of bizarre
manifestations] is when the Church begins to look for the return of the Lord
instead of pursuing a greater breakthrough in the Great Commission
(Johnson: 161). Earlier Johnson had interpreted the Great Commission in
terms of his dominion theology (Johnson: 32). Those who correctly
understand the Lords Prayer become the problem people who stop revival.
Longing for the Lords return is discouraged. Eschatology of the soon return
of Christ is replaced with eschatology of dominion, kingdom now, that sees
the concept maranatha
as a threat to revival.
A Deluge of Error
The rejection of scholarship and careful exegesis, in Johnsons case, leads
where it always does: to diverse theological errors. There are many that
would take too long to cover in detail but need to be addressed. I shall do
so briefly in this section.
Gnosticism
Gnosticism was an ancient heresy that claimed that the material realm was
evil and the spiritual realm good. Johnson states, Faith is the key to
discovering the superior nature of the invisible realm (Johnson: 43). The
truth is that both realms, visible and invisible contain both good and evil.
Both are created by God, and neither is innately superior. When the Bible
speaks of things not seen, it includes things like the fulfillment of future

promises and is not limited to ontological realms, such as material and

spiritual. Johnson claims that there is an unlocked potential for seeing into
the supposedly superior spirit realm: Many of us have thought that the
ability to see into the spiritual realm is more the result of a special gift than
an unused potential of everyone (Johnson 43). He misuses Hebrews 11:1
to
teach his Gnostic understanding of realms: The invisible is superior to the
natural . . . Because the invisible is superior to the natural, faith is
anchored in the unseen (Johnson 45). But in Hebrews 11, what was
unseen to the patriarchs was the future fulfillment of the promises of God,
not just the heavenly realities (though those are included). There is much
evil in the unseen world, so Johnsons Gnostic categories are not what the
Biblical authors had in mind.
Elitism
The Bible promotes the necessity that every member of the body of Christ
is seen as important and essential, whatever their gifts may be
(1Corinthians 12:14 25). But Johnson repeatedly speaks of an elite group
of Christians that shall be greater than all other groups in church history.
Of course those will be the ones associated with his movement and others
who embrace the Latter Rain heresy. (International House Of Prayer in
Kansas City is another example). For example: Much of the opposition to
revival comes from soul- driven Christians. The apostle Paul calls them
carnal (Johnson: 47). He goes on to claim that the spirit (not capitalized in
translation, signifying the human spirit) influencing the mind produces true
learning. His categories are reminiscent of Watchman Nee, whose false
teachings harmed me early in my Christian life. Paul does not teach that
the soul is problematic and the human spirit good. The revivalists that have
true enlightenment by following their spirits rather than souls, are of
course those who listen to Johnson and other such teachers. They are the
elite ones, and the rest of us are left trying to understand the Bible. It is
the few who have the real glory: He lives in all believers, but the glory of
His presence comes to rest on only a few (Johnson: 149). The enlightened
ones are part of the Elijah generation (New Order of the Latter Rain
terminology) But there will be no contest when such counterfeits go up
against this Elijah generation that becomes clothed with heavens power on
the Mount Carmel of human reasoning (Johnson: 150). His attack on
reason is unabated.
Fideism
Many of these errors are closely related. Fideism is the belief that faith
operates independent of reason and needs no rational proof for its validity.
Fideism is shown in this statement: When we learn to learn that way [by
faith], we open ourselves up to grow in true faith because faith does not
require understanding to function (Johnson: 47). Again, he is misusing
concepts from Hebrews 11. For example, Abraham had to understand Gods

promises to have faith in them. Faith is not disconnected from rational

content in the Scripture as it is in Johnsons fideistic theology.
Pietism
Johnson shows the same pietistic tendencies as many in todays evangelical
world of mysticism. He warns about the lack of power encounters and
fear
of experiences that might lead us away from scripture. He then states:
But it is illegitimate to allow fear to keep us from pursuing a deeper
experience
with God! (Johnson: 92). He warns: God is bigger than His book
(Johnson: 92). The obvious implication is that we must have extra-biblical
experiences unless we live as lesser Christians ruled by fear. Pietists always
look to higher order experiences to validate their Christian experience.[11]
Conclusion
The invasion of heaven promoted by When Heaven Invades Earth is in
reality an invasion of theological error. Johnson says there is no sickness or
poverty in heaven, which is true. However, there is also no falsehood or
error in heaven. Johnsons potpourri of error is astounding in is breadth.
His is a classic case of zeal for a cause divorced from theological truth. In
his thinking, zeal for signs and wonders (and the resultant end-time
revival) baptize any theological errors, including his heretical Christology.
My conclusion is not overly harsh: that this movement is not really from
heaven, as it is claimed to be. Many young people are targeted and
deceived by it. Powerful experiences in a Christian context form a potent
elixir that dulls ones theological senses. I know because when I was young,
I was drawn into a similar movement based on experiences that I allowed
to trump sound Biblical exegesis. Thankfully God saved me out of that and
led me, through Scripture, to the true gospel. May many who are in the
clutches of this false revivalism be spared as I was.
