"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.
He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into your house,
neither bid him God speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."
(2 John 9-11)
"Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God
upon the children of disobedience.
Be not ye therefore partakers with them...
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them."
(Ephesians 5:6-11)
With these Scriptural mandates firmly in mind, let us now look to the 2023 New Wine Cymru Leaders Conference in Swansea on 9/10 June, whose keynote speaker is the Rev. Nicky Gumbel, whose very name is synonymous with the Alpha Course that he personally shaped whilst in leadership at Holy Trinity Brompton. This Anglican "church" also happened to be the springboard for launching the demonic "Toronto Blessing" (actually the most terrible of curses!) in the UK, which Gumbel delightedly participated in and promoted, which in itself should have been sufficient warning of his discernment-devoid unsoundness! Nevertheless, his tame toothless tiger that is Alpha has gone on to roam the world freely, bringing with it the triple deadly spiritual viruses of Pit-deep ecumenical compromise, easy-believism's rootless "salvation," and the heinous Charismatic excess that is in reality the Kundalini "serpent rising" of Hindu mysticism. But there is even more than this to very greatly concern ourselves about.
Make no mistake, Nicky Gumbel - who has met with both John Paul II and Francis - is a most prominent player in the End Times drive to bring those in the evangelical and Roman Catholic camps ever closer together, eventually cementing them into a single "Church" entity, heralding a unity based in no way on Truth but on the determined axing of sound doctrine and its replacement with an experiential faith which is in fact unbelief. Gumbel has worked tirelessly to bring about such a modern-day Counter Reformation; if only his efforts were for the Faith that was once delivered, rather than for the shoddy antichrist counterfeit that seeks to displace it! Alpha lovingly licks the Pope's hand, and he in turn endearingly pats it on the head and tickles it under the chin, knowing full well how this pampered pet is playing such a huge part in bringing "the separated brethren" back into the Vatican harlot's bed.
'Alpha for Catholics' be it well noted, is EXACTLY THE SAME as Alpha for everyone else, and as long ago as 1997 R.C. Bishop of Hexham Ambrose Griffiths was quoted in that July's 'Alpha News' as commending it as a "powerful evangelistic tool... it doesn't contain anything that is contrary to Catholic doctrine." Let's be clear about this: if the Catholic take on Christianity is in no way threatened by Alpha, then Alpha's "Gospel" message cannot be being presented as Holy Writ presents it. How can this not be seen by evangelicals as being an issue of enormous proportions? Obviously, something is very amiss somewhere, in both the presentation of and the unquestioning acceptance of this globally hyped Christian primer. How can it not be seen that when a R.C. Bishop refers to it as a "powerful evangelistic tool," it is not in the context of bringing a person into a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ but in its serving as a useful bait to entice the unsuspecting into R.C. churches, where they will then of course be taught the abominations of that religion like transubstantiation, purgatory, the confessional, Marian co-redeemership, praying to the dead, etc.?
SHAME on Julian Richards' New Wine Cymru for inviting a man such as Gumbel into their midst to peddle his apostate wares to all and sundry, in complete defiance of the clear Scriptures which headed this article! While all believers are Biblically instructed to "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness," Richards and his blind ecumenical cohort have no problem at all with such a travesty; rather than properly reprimanding Gumbel for his brazen betrayal of the Faith, they put him on a platform and applaud him wildly! How is this so? It can only be because they are all on board the same train as him, with the same destination... and their seventy-five quid tickets to ride are stamped "THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE!"
