What is the source, standard, purpose, and structure of genuine church authority, according to the New Testament? How have reputedly conservative Presbyterian churches - especially the Presbyterian Church in America and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church - violated the Biblical model, to the spiritual peril of multiplied thousands?

Stay tuned for the answers, and a challenge to leaders and members of those denominations, in the final segment of our three-part message, "Presbyterian Anarchy".
This teaching of Dispensationalism effectively denies Christ's total abrogation of the Old Covenant at the cross.
Today, at the risk of receiving a large influx of mail, we answer one of our most frequently-asked questions.

On our last program, we began to examine the damnable heresy that is being openly taught in reputedly conservative Presbyterian churches today, because denominational leaders are exercising counterfeit, un-Biblical authority to protect and promote this evil.

What is Christ's model of genuine spiritual authority in the church? Who, according to Scripture, is to form the first line of defense against error and those who teach it? How is this duty being neglected today? Stay tuned for the answers as we present part two of a message titled "Presbyterian Anarchy".
In our last two broadcasts we looked at some of the more well-known examples of counterfeit authority in the church today - the Purpose-Driven Church movement, and the Emergent Church movement.

Today we'll examine a less well known case in our time that is equally deadly. Damnable heresy is being openly taught in reputedly conservative Presbyterian churches today, because the leaders of those denominations are exercising counterfeit, un-Biblical authority to protect and promote these evils.

What is happening? How did it happen? What is the Biblical response? Stay tuned for the answers as we continue our series from Colossians chapter two titled "Truth Above All".
In Colossians chapter two gives us a timeless warning about the evil tyranny of man-made doctrines in the church. How does that warning apply to Christians today? What dangers must we guard against in our time? Well, as we survey the landscape we find that two movements in today's Evangelical church are at the top of the list. We examined one of them, the Purpose-Driven Church movement, on our last program.

Today we are going to examine the Emergent Church movement. And once again, we see the danger signs as we compare the roots and the fruits of this movement with the problem indicators that Paul gives us in Colossians two.

Also during today's program I'm going to share with you one godly pastor's personal confrontation with the leaders of a denomination that is buying into the Emergent philosophy.
In Colossians chapter two we find a timeless warning about the evil tyranny of man-made doctrines in the church. How does that warning apply to Christians today? What dangers must we guard against in our time? As we survey the landscape we find that two movements in today's Evangelical church are at the top of the list. One of them is the Purpose-Driven Church movement, and we see this clearly as we compare the roots and the fruits of this movement with the problem indicators that Paul gives us in Colossians two. Stay tuned to learn more.
This is a correction to our recent article, "The PCA's Apostasy: No More Lines In the Sand".
In recent messages we've been studying Paul's warning against the tyranny of man-made doctrines based on counterfeit authority, in Colossians chapter two. As we look at church history we find that one Bible passage has been misused more than any other, in men's attempts to establish counterfeit authority within the church. That passage is Matthew 16:19, where Jesus says, "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Exactly what are those keys? Who has the authority to use them, and how? Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our study of this vital subject.
The Roman Catholic church claims that the Pope is the one they call "the Vicar of Christ" - the one true representative of Christ on earth. Rome claims that the Pope alone has "infallible teaching authority" in the church. But what does Scripture say? Who is the genuine representative of Christ on earth? Who is the One who Jesus said has infallible teaching authority in the Church? Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our series titled Truth Above All from Colossians chapter two.
