Dr. Michael Brown (Sort of) Approves of These "Fine Christians..." Watch at your Own Risk!

/

CAUTION: This is a very disturbing video. This is what happens when the false gospel of Dominionism/ Signs & Wonders/New Apostolic Reformation replaces the real Gospel of Christ and Him Crucified for the forgiveness of sins. This is a compilation video featuring Heidi and Rolland Baker and their fellow "New Apostolic Reformation" friends: Bill and Beni Johnson (links to all the complete videos are at the bottom of this page):

Recently, in an exchange on his Facebook page, Dr. Michael Brown was challenged (by Steven Kozar, Chris Rice, @Aspree and others) to call out these false teachers in order to protect his listeners from their very bad doctrine. False teachers like Jennifer LeClaire, Heidi Baker, Bill Johnson and Benny Hinn. Nobody suggested that Dr. Brown personally attack these people, but simply compare their teachings to Scripture. He repeatedly refused. Strangely,  he did not fully endorse them; instead he used vague generalizations like "as far as I know these are fine Christians."  Dr. Brown wants to be respected as a very knowledgeable scholar and expert, but he continually expresses ignorance about the people and teachings from within his very own movement. Dr. Brown promotes these people on his own radio show, and he's been a guest on Benny Hinn's TV show.

Here are a few screen shots where Dr. Michael Brown (vaguely) supports these people and says "the greater error I see is what some folks are posting here, sad to say."

Dr. Brown got really upset when I mentioned Heidi Baker along with other known NAR false teachers (he responded to my comment, but then deleted my comment, before he deleted the entire post):

 

Here's some of the exchange between @Aspree and Dr. Brown:

Dr. Michael Brown is using "straw man" arguments and other logical fallacies along with obvious deflection techniques.  

Our hope is that these shocking videos (featuring the very people he clearly supports) will eventually cause he and his many followers to see what's really going on within the "New Apostolic Reformation/Hyper-Charismatic/Signs & Wonders" movement.

Here's where you can see the videos for yourself. You will discover that we did not "take things out of context" or "make it look like they said something they didn't really say." Please do your homework:

Jennifer LeClaire's Hypocritical Goofy Prophetic Pimping

/

Jennifer LeClaire is guilty of rank hypocrisy. On May 5, 2017 she was interviewed by Michael Brown on his show The Line of Fire.

Michael Brown asked Jennifer about her greatest concerns and encouragements concerning current trends in the charismatic movement. LeClaire said that honestly her greatest concerns have to do with some camps in the movement. She spoke against the goofy stuff going on, people using the prophetic for merchandising, people pimping for money, and people giving false prophetic utterances. LeClaire said all of that greatly concerns her.

She then said God spoke into her heart about a year ago concerning those things, and told her to speak directly into it. LeClaire said God told her to operate in the "true prophetic" and to model integrity.  LeClaire has not followed the directions God supposedly gave her. You can listen to that segment of the interview below. (On a side note, when did the word "prophetic" become an open-ended adjective that could be placed in front of any word in order to justify any new teaching and sell stuff?)

LeClaire is guilty of the rankest of hypocrisy. I'll give an example of blatant merchandising and pimping first, and then an example of the goofy.

In November of 2016 she claimed God gave her an urgent prophecy about Angels of the Abundant Harvest. She stated the prophecy was urgent, profound, and the body of Christ needed to hear it. Yet in order to hear the full prophecy, you had to purchase the book. 

Posting things online is easy. If someone really believes God has an urgent message for the church, shouldn't they just post the entire thing online, for free?? That way most everyone can read and receive such an urgent word. The fact that you had to fork over money in order to receive the full urgent "word from God" proves LeClaire is involved in rank hypocrisy, and is engaged in prophetic merchandising and pimping, even though she claims God told her to speak against it. You can read the full account of her hypocrisy here.

Even though LeClaire claims God told her to speak against goofy things, she engages in really goofy things. On February 23, 2017 she wrote an article for Charisma titled When the Sneaky Squid Spirit Starts Stalking You. 

There is nothing in the Bible about a Sneaky Squid Spirit capable of stalking you. Some may suggest it's valid because the Bible doesn't speak against such a thing. If that is the litmus test for what's real concerning spiritual matters, then what's to stop someone from saying there is a stuffed animal owl named Steve who wants to fill your mind with songs by Barry Manilow and then drag your soul into Hades?

"Steve"

Here's another post about Jennifer LeClaire trying to sell ridiculous "prophetic" music CDs: Dream Wild Mashup: Prophetic Words, Songs and Declarations by Jennifer LeClaire

Here's a post where Jennifer LeClaire duplicates the exact same teachings that New Age pagans teach: Jennifer LeClaire Claims New Age "Angels of Transition" Will Save America? 

Jennifer LeClaire is a goofy, merchandising, "prophetic" pimp of the highest order. She's not the face of some shadowy minor segment in the charismatic movement. She's literally a front and center influential face in the movement because she's the senior editor of Charisma magazine.

People justifying this nonsense need a set of fresh eyes, and they need to repent. Jennifer LeClaire isn't part of a small percentage of people in the movement who get magnified by bored bloggers (as Dr. Michael Brown would have you believe). She is a prominent leader within the movement. People should be ashamed of themselves for overlooking or trying to normalize this cancer that's attempting to identify with Christianity.

Michael Brown Can't Defend "Sneaky Squid Spirit"-Repeatedly Changes the Subject

/

As he always does, Michael Brown says he wants to hear the thoughts of callers so he can "have a conversation," but he interrupts Chris Rosebrough and totally changes the topic and turns this into a domineering diatribe to prop up his favorite hyper-charismatic doctrines. Brown fully supports crazy false teachers like Jennifer LeClaire, but becomes very ambiguous whenever he's confronted with the facts. He will not look into a single idiotic false prophecy from LeClaire or anybody else. He never does any actual research on the people he supports; people like Rick Joyner, Bill Johnson and Jennifer LeClaire. He's a hyper-charismatic cheerleader with a big microphone and a very gullible audience. 

Here's a recording of the exchange he had with Pastor Rosebrough on his live radio show on May 5, 2017. Notice how many times he interrupts and changes the subject. Notice how he pretends to just barely remember that he talked to Chris Rosebrough about the New Apostolic Reformation last year. Notice how the guy who controls the microphone controls the conversation. This is how you dominate and control others, while wanting to appear fair and reasonable:

If Dr. Michael Brown was serious about clamping down on all of the crazy, blasphemous nonsense in his beloved hyper-charismatic/Signs & Wonders/New Apostolic Reformation movement, he would take an afternoon and listen to the twisting of scripture and false prophecies that happen every single day within his own fold, and then he would actually confront it. But he never does. And, it appears, he never will. He admits that crazy stuff happens in his movement, but he always describes it as a rare occurrence that comes from the most extreme fringe members. But he is right in the middle of the whole thing, propping it up, day in and day out.

Here's Michael Brown making a guest appearance on (complete fraud and heretic) Benny Hinn's show:

 

Here's Michael Brown "having a conversation" with Phil Johnson in 2013 (notice how he interrupts and continually avoids the discussion of false teachers in his own movement):
