This is one of the BEST explanations of the 2 opposing REFORMATIONS going on in the church. I came OUT OF the false NAR movement and now see I did not know Jesus because I did not know or read the Word! Therefore I was tossed around believing every kind of false doctrine for over 20 years. I have repented and asked Jesus to be the Lord of my life and am now in the scriptures everyday. Thanks be to God, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for opening my eyes and saving me from deception!!! ❤️🙌🏼
I love what is said here, "let's slow down, let's discern and let the Truth of God's Word be our guide." Thank you Mr. Hinn. Prudence and humility coupled with love is desperately needed in this fight for God's glory.
This is excellent and a refreshing change from the Word/Faith heresy. I was raised in the Pentecostal/Word Faith movement. It took a very long time to unlearn the heresies I had been taught and to learn what real Reformed Theology was. By God's grace I found the truth.
This is so good, and very helpful! I have slowly come to realize I have been in a NAR church! By the grace of God, He has begun to show me and pull me away! Thank you, please keep going forward! My prayer is all brothers and sisters would come back to the authority of God Word!!!
Wow, this was just awesome. Thanks! God started to speak to me re the deception of word of faith and NAR - never been involved in so many fights/disagreements as I'm leaving that fold. Faith in Jesus ALONE!
Bless you, brother Costi. I am so glad our Lord brought you out of spiritual darkness into His glorious truth. I pray for you and others who are preaching the written Word in a rightly divided way. God is separating the wheat from the tares and I thank Him for His faithful servants who lovingly, boldly speak the true gospel.

This is a great sermon! The struggle is real. I am being ostracized in my church for standing on this position, and the church staff (pastors) are not at all looking into this, my fear is they are a part of this type of movement. It's also heavily reflected in the worship ministry, its modeled after Hillsongs music ministry, and the playlist is 60-70% Bethal collective.
This is a phenomenal video. Costi does a great job identifying truth and NAR. I have been delivered from this mindset and I appreciated his grace, truth, and humor in delivering this teaching.
Bless you, brother. It is hard to confront heresies, but it must be done. So many in the body of Christ are so sadly Biblically illiterate that whatever feels good or sounds good is accepted as truth. Keep standing for the One who IS theTruth - Jesus Christ. Jesus DID say, my sheep hear my voice and they follow me. We must be attuned to HIS voice and be discerning as the whether HE is speaking or the enemy of our souls is speaking.
My son died when he was 13 years old after playing the "choking game". I was told that it was my fault because I did not pray the hedge of protection, was out of God's will for moving from Louisiana to Michigan after Hurricane Katrina, I had secret unconfessed sin, and did not listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Need I say more....
Thank you for posting this. People need to be warned about the dangers from the NAR. I used to attend the JesusCulture conferences, and read many of Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton's books. I went to a Christian high school that was heavily influenced by Bethel. I am glad to be out of that world now. I saw it for what it is, and I am sad to say that many of my old friends are still influenced by this group.
Thank you for this. I have SO many questions. I grew up in a non charismatic church until I was 17. We then switched to a Vineyard. I loved the prophetic. But there were so many things I would question. Of course i was labeled "rebellious" for doing so. I never wanted to be a crap starter. I just wanted to know why scriptures were pulled out of context to justify odd charismatic rhetoric. I have now been out of church for 5 years due to PROFOUND chronic illness. Imagine the wrestling I have been going through over that alone. I am struggling to walk out my faith according to the word. Talking to my family about my struggle has been hard. I am not liked very much. To put things lightly.
Truly an anointed exposition , anointed by the Spirit of Grace and Truth from our dear Lord , Jesus Christ , may the Lord multiply His Flock through preachers like you, Jesse Owens
Great teaching, much needed word of warning here. I was hoping Costi would quote what Jesus said re: lusting after signs: “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed. - Matthew 16:4 I appreciated his scripture reference re: false teaching sneaking in undetected. I’m not in an NAR church, but I’ve detected various elements of their false doctrine creeping in among members. So little practice of discernment in today’s church, it seems... But then this has really always been a problem going back to the early church... I think perhaps intensified in these (latter?) days.
This teaching was clear and true - based on the Bible. So many times I´m listening to somebody, and then comes something what is complete wrong... So I say simply : Thank you .
Wonderful teaching. By staying planted in truth, our roots grow, and we can withstand storms that come our way. Only by studying the word of truth can we stand on the rock and proclaim the truth ourselves. Study the words of God. John 1:1 The word be came flesh, build your relationship with Christ. If you don't he will say "I never knew you." Believe in Christ Jesus, learn who he really is. The son of God, whom died for the sins of the world, rose again and is at the right hand of the Father.
One more balanced Hinn...You are right brother, we need to stand on the Word of God and get more discernment, yet we should still give room to the Rhema! God bless you and your ministry!

Ain't gonna happen, tares have their own church, many are called few are chosen, straight is the gate narrow is the way few be there that find it, the apostasy is alive and well. Stay true to God's Word, not people, not music, nothing but the Gospel.
Costi sounded good exposing the forms of error. It is easy to highlight the problems and errors but it take 'substance' and matured 'stature' in Christ to light up the Lampstand.
Thank you so much for addressing the issue of polemics, Costi. There are actually conservative Christians now who are claiming that polemics is a “ministry,” which achieves nothing but undermining real apologetic attempts to reach the lost.
If you talk to someone of doctrines that you know have no gospel relevance even though the hearer knows you give them no sanction then you have wasted the hearer's time .If what you know about the gospel can be stated in ten minutes then become famous for just giving that ten minutes. one of the things I love about the bible is , as your familiarity grows the conviction that it is the record of the Creator's "come reason together" with His created free moral agents. With the passing of the years its revealing continues to expand in and of itself, and a clear picture of self realization in context with the Creator becomes clear.
If it’s not in the scriptures then don’t believe it if you would like to hear from God get to his word prayerfully even the uneducated can hear the word in many translations to help get a better understanding
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.” John 16:13 ESV You are highlighting extreme doings of this misled church which are created by familiar spirits. The gold dust and feathers are manifestations of the demonic. But you cannot throw the baby out with the bath water. If The Holy Spirit teaches you or speaks to your heart it will always line up with scripture. This is the litmus test. But to deny that God can and will use HIS gifts for His people is just as misguided as those in the far land of demonic deception. There is balance. Deliverance is scriptural yet I doubt in your churches you offer it to people. The word calls it the bread of the children. It was cut out of the faith in the early 1900’s. So the churches who run from the gifts send their mentally ill to psychologists and psychiatrist who teach and use a greater demonic view to try and cure mental illness but they never can. All they can do is manage it. Only pure deliverance, which JESUS spent 50% of his ministry doing can CURE them. To accept the basic tenants of Christendom does not mean we deny the Gifts of the Spirit. The gifts do not deny the truth of scripture. They facilitate it. But to attribute the gifts to these ungodly folks who are really far off using familiar spirits to produce ”miracles” is not declaring the truth. Scripture is filled with the results of the gifts. When you have been hurt by the false heretical teachings and doings it’s understandable to go to the extreme. But to toss out the true gifts of the spirit is nit presenting the entire truth. I’m so proud of what you’ve done. I just feel you’ve tossed a huge portion of truth aside. Love you and pray for you.
The problem is--whose interpretation of scripture. Some say you have to speak in tongues or you do not have the Holy Spirit, some say you can say the "prayer of the sinner" when you are 8 then no matter what you do, you are saved, some say no, you can "lose" your salvation, some say some are predestined, some say no whosoever believes will believe. Again, whose interpretation?? Good reading: "Bearing False Witness: Debunking Centuries of Anti-Catholic History" by Rodney Stark(a Protestant)
The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of all prophesy. The essence of all prophesy is the Testimony of Jesus, ie Jesus' testimony to the Father of the works that The Father had given Him to do. At Pentecost according to the prophet Joel God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh and all would prophesy, both men and women. This is what the Apostles did, they told out the wonderful works of God. They testified to Jesus' testimony, as He rose from the dead and ascended on high and testified before the Father. to the works that He did on behalf of the Father.

I agree with Costi on everything but if the church I'm going to believes as Bethel does but we are never supposed to say anything, how are others warned. When I step down as an elder am I suppose to lie the the people when they ask why? I might as well stay in my position and continue being a part of leading the flock into deception. Do the scriptures not tell us to expose the false teachers, in love, but have nothing to do with them!
The institutions are stable, staide, almost imovable rocks of tradition and when we become unfetted from these institutions of stable tradition, which is what is happening to the church in these last of days, we can go two ways; the straight and narrow path of truth, lighted by the Holy Spirit or we can wander anywhere - believe anything with feelings new age churches. Because we (the church) have suddenly become freed from the restraint of tradition. And surely we in part do both - we fall as babies as we learn to walk.This, I'm sure, is what's happening in the church today. I'm not saying it's a new thing, cause it obviously isn't. Though it might have become quickened in these times. So with this freedom comes a mish mash of truth and error. People wandering this way and that. Both for those who have sat in the safety of tradition where the exercise of discernment has not been necessary and therefore not developed where even the very subjects of 'walking in the Spirit' and 'discernment' are confusing and undiscernable. To the new believer, who's never experienced the fetters of the traditional church and is open to, not only the truth, but also error. We all need to grow through exercising discernment.
Galatians - KJV 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
This isn’t knew If you go back to the 70 s the Charismatic Movement was this twisting of truth emphasis on signs and hearing and walking in Holy Spirit I lived it 40 yrs and then I heard and read the truth for myself One of the other things was believe what you hear trust your leader Once I read the word for myself and heard godly teachers and saw what I read was different to what I heard Having said this the evangelical movement is also flawed Jesus never intended denominations there was never meant to be a separation of the power of Holy Spirit ( gifts miracles signs hearing voice of holy spiritual) and the written inspired word of God
John - KJV 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. Luke - KJV 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This 👉is 👈my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 1º Corinthians - KJV 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, 👉not discerning👈👉 the Lord's body.👈 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR BALANCE IN THIS BROTHER 🙏 ...MAY WE ALL BE THAT EXAMPLE.
Why are there no appreciative comments for this pure teaching?
Wow good stuff. This needs to be preached more. Our fellow believers in this modern day Christian church are in dire need of this, of the Word of God.
Well done good and faithful servant..yes it is the word of GOD, Yehovah..blessings brother..TY for standing for HIS word! Amein.
God does speak to us directly, I have experienced this. But we must back it up with scripture when we hear God's voice so that we don't get deceived.

...very very scriptural teaching... ya just don't get this type of teaching much anymore... keep up the Good Work of the Lord!
Test everything by the Word of God
I’m Pentecostal and never heard of this kind of stuff ..... wow I was ignorant of these things

Thank you Mr. Hinn
I love this truth

So what is Costis position on calvinism? anyone thanks.

I agree with Costi on everything but if the church I'm going to believes as Bethel does but we are never supposed to say anything, how are others warned. When I step down as an elder am I suppose to lie the the people when they ask why? I might as well stay in my position and continue being a part of leading the flock into deception. Do the scriptures not tell us to expose the false teachers, in love, but have nothing to do with them!
The institutions are stable, staide, almost imovable rocks of tradition and when we become unfetted from these institutions of stable tradition, which is what is happening to the church in these last of days, we can go two ways; the straight and narrow path of truth, lighted by the Holy Spirit or we can wander anywhere - believe anything with feelings new age churches.
Because we (the church) have suddenly become freed from the restraint of tradition. And surely we in part do both - we fall as babies as we learn to walk.This, I'm sure, is what's happening in the church today. I'm not saying it's a new thing, cause it obviously isn't. Though it might have become quickened in these times.
So with this freedom comes a mish mash of truth and error. People wandering this way and that. Both for those who have sat in the safety of tradition where the exercise of discernment has not been necessary and therefore not developed where even the very subjects of 'walking in the Spirit' and 'discernment' are confusing and undiscernable. To the new believer, who's never experienced the fetters of the traditional church and is open to, not only the truth, but also error. We all need to grow through exercising discernment.
The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in me. Get that the same exact spirit has been given to us has been given to.man.

Galatians - KJV
1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
This isn’t knew
If you go back to the 70 s the Charismatic Movement was this twisting of truth emphasis on signs and hearing and walking in Holy Spirit
I lived it 40 yrs and then I heard and read the truth for myself
One of the other things was believe what you hear trust your leader
Once I read the word for myself and heard godly teachers and saw what I read was different to what I heard
Having said this the evangelical movement is also flawed
Jesus never intended denominations there was never meant to be a separation of the power of Holy Spirit ( gifts miracles signs hearing voice of holy spiritual) and the written inspired word of God
John - KJV
6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Luke - KJV
22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This 👉is 👈my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
1º Corinthians - KJV
11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, 👉not discerning👈👉 the Lord's body.👈
11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
