I agree completely. The other common hersey, and I dare say the most dangerous, is the idea that we are equal to God or "little Gods". As you stated, we have access to the throne of God and the power of God only through the complete work of Jesus and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It has absolutely nothing to do with us. We can ask anything of God but it is His perfect will that provides the answer in agreement or not.

This is completely wrong, this is classic orthodoxy. The New Testament understanding and the early Church understanding of the Gospel was summarized by Athanasius in On the Incarnation "God became man so that man might become god".

Powerful podcast. I'm reminded of "The Power of Positive Thinking" and Possibly Thinking....Norman Vincent Peale and Robert Schuller. I used to be into these guys, until I read my Bible. You are right it sounds so good, so positive, but they are broken cisterns that hold no water. Thank you Alisa!

Hey Alisa! Thanks so much for this podcast, it has shed a lot of light on some areas I have allowed these false teachings to creep in. I am a relatively new christian and have bought into some of this stuff, and until now haven't come across anyone willing to address it-even when I have asked pastors etc about it.

Hi Megan, I'm sorry no one responded to you. I understand your struggle. I might be considered a 'new'ish Christian (saved about 4-5 years ago), but I thought I was saved a few years before that, only to discover the Word showed me I merely 'believed,' as James implies, 'even the demons believe... and they tremble' (2:19).

Hi Megan, I know exactly what group of people you are talking about. It’s called the Hebrew root movement. I, unfortunately, have a family member wrapped up in this mess. It’s so sad and hard to talk about it with them because they always find some scripture that they misuse. I actually was wanting more info on this too

The argument is against scripture itself as Peter warns us...

Would you say that the Emergent Church and Progressive Christianity is the same thing?
