[...]Pastoral Politics at General Council via BlogRodent[...]…

The Leader of the AG wherever it is needs to be an Apostolic style voice of leadership that LEADS not Administrates.

The US AoG seems way to top heavy, too much head office business rather than leadership that empowers and equips the local church to reach the NOW generation not dream about past victories.

The people that lead through their active influence due to their churches should be the ones leading – it is a disgrace that men like Tommy Barnett should not be leading the US denomination.

Then search for Tommy Barnett

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, I find it nothing short of astonishing that Tommy Barnett could even be considered for the post of General Superintendent, as based on the following documentation from my book Rick Warren’s Global Peace Plan vs. Scripture, he should have been disqualified from consideration as well as exposed:

Ken Blanchard Ken Blanchard was the featured speaker at First Assembly of God Church in Phoenix on November 27, 2005. I listened to this sermon on compact disc. I was so shocked and dismayed at the list of false teachers he embraced in this speech, I was compelled to write Tommy Barnett, their Senior Pastor, who had invited him. To date he has not responded to any of my emails or follow-up inquiries. Here are some excerpts from that letter:

December 9, 2005

Dear Pastor Tommy Barnett,

I just finished hearing the CD of Ken Blanchard speaking at your church recently.

I can only hope you are simply not aware of Ken Blanchard’s teachings and endorsements, including many he touted in his sermon to your congregation.

The most startling of all was his glowing view of Nelson Mandella. Are you aware that Mandella is a devout Marxist? Here is a quote from Mandella…can you possibly think this is Christian that Blanchard would be his devotee?

NELSON MANDELLA:

“When you don’t feel good about yourself, it is hard to feel good about anything or anyone else…The only way to get out of this vicious cycle is to begin to believe in ourselves…You are a child of God…We are all meant to shine as children do. We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us it’s in everyone…

Don’t wait therefore for someone to tell you how wonderful you are. Just simply believe it, know it! Look deep within yourself. As we get to know and affirm ourselves for who we are, we become aware of the divinity that we share. What better place to find God than within ourselves.”2

I find it equally astonishing that you or at least one wise among your congregation would not stand up and challenge Ken Blanchard’s glowing endorsement of Norman Vincent Peale, a mentor to Robert Schuller, whose heresies are well-known. Blanchard further endorses, in his sermon to your congregation, Rick Warren (SHAPE), Bill Hybels and Zig Ziglar, who all three promote occultist Carl Jung’s Temperament Divination and Personality Profiling. I proved that Warren is a false teacher in my last email to you. Blanchard also promotes Jung via DISC Profiling, invented by Wonder Woman comic strip author William Moulton Marsden who used Jung archetypes to create a female heroine who put men in bondage).3

Blanchard also spoke glowingly of John Ortberg, who signed a letter4 to President Bush appealing to him to give some of the land of Israel to the Palestinians, bringing a curse upon himself from God to anyone who tampers with Israel’s God given boundaries. (God has married ["Beulah"] that land to Israel….no one else has a right to divide it up….read Psalm 83 if you doubt what God will do to those who dare to carve up the Land of Israel). Blanchard also commends Bob Buford whose account and defense of Mother Teresa (95%) [Percent represents Buford's idea that she only need 5% to close the gap to 100% between her and the Lord]*, who saw no reason to convert a Buddhist, is beyond the pale.

I remain shocked and saddened that you would not know about at least some of these false teachers that Blanchard promotes and endorses. I was compelled to bring this all to the attention of the listeners of Sonlife Radio Network (72 stations), and will continue to do so in the upcoming national radio interviews I will be doing in 2006 exposing Rick Warren’s Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan vs. Scripture.

I hope and pray that you take heed to my words and those of Dr. Opal Reddin [in her October 27, 2005 open letter of appeal and warning to all Assembly of God Churches, which she wrote on her deathbed, one month before she was promoted to Glory. [Dr. Reddin was a matriarch in the Assemblies of God denomination]**. I have spent thousands of hours researching these men’s teachings. I also hope that you go before your own congregation and repent for having brought Ken Blanchard to speak to and mingle with your flock.

Kindest regards in Christ,

Support for a Palestinian State within the present borders of Israel and at the expense of Israel is also a common view within the Church Growth Movement, as evidenced by a July 23, 2002 Letter to President Bush containing the following statement signed by John Ortberg:

“We commend your stated support for a Palestinian state with 1967 borders, and encourage you to move boldly forward so that the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people for their own state may be realized.”

Now Gary Benedict, President of the Christian & Missionary Alliance has. in like manner, signed a letter to President Bush, with 33 other Evangelical leaders, which is a blueprint and appeal to hijack the Land of Israel.

So please sound the alarm on His Holy Hill at the Assemblies of God to warn everyone about Tommy Barnett!
