The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a movement within evangelical Christianity that emerged in the late 20th century and has gained prominence in the 21st century. It is characterized by a belief in modern-day apostles and prophets who have the same authority as the apostles and prophets of the New Testament.
According to NAR theology, these modern-day apostles and prophets are responsible for restoring the church to its original New Testament form and preparing the world for the second coming of Christ. They are also believed to have the power to perform signs and wonders, including healing, prophecy, and speaking in tongues.
The NAR emphasizes spiritual warfare, and its adherents believe that Christians are engaged in a battle against demonic forces. The movement also places a strong emphasis on the supernatural and encourages the pursuit of supernatural experiences.
Critics of the NAR have raised concerns about its emphasis on authority and hierarchy, its rejection of denominationalism, and its tendency to prioritize experience over doctrine. They have also expressed concern about the movement's connections to charismatic leaders who have been accused of promoting false teachings and engaging in spiritual abuse.
It is important to note that the NAR is not a centralized organization with a single leader or set of beliefs. Rather, it is a loose network of individuals, churches, and ministries who share a common theology and vision for the church.-ChatGPT
Like the political left, it appears the same strong delusion pervades NAR teaching, that words can create reality:
Do we have any Apostles and Prophets here that can defend the movement?
