Is the New Apostolic Reformation covertly reshaping your church? Join me and 5th-generation Assemblies of God pastor Aaron Mapes for a deep dive into the "smuggling" of NAR doctrine into classical Pentecostalism.
While the boundaries between NAR and Pentecostalism have become increasingly blurred, the differences are critical for those concerned about the future of the Assemblies of God. In this episode, we expose how specific terminology—like the "five-fold ministry"—is being used as a gateway to introduce NAR "apostles" and "prophets" into local Assemblies of God churches. Pastor Aaron shares his personal journey of watching a thriving church of 300 dwindle to 80 after a NAR takeover and discusses the high-profile departures of flagship churches from the AG, like James River and Bethel Redding.
In this video, you will learn:
The vital distinctions between Pentecostalism, charismatic belief, and NAR.
Why "five-fold ministry" language is often a red flag for aberrant teaching.
The truth behind the "Show Me the Toes" (alleged) miracle and the danger of deceptive "revival" narratives.
How the Assemblies of God’s new 2025 position papers address these encroachments.
