The Case Against the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
The NAR replaces historical Church foundations with modern apostles. Using "Christian-ese" to mask unbiblical doctrines like Dominionism, the movement subverts the Gospel, transitioning believers away from biblical truth and toward a reliance on subjective, New Age-style experiences.
The church today stands at a critical crossroads, facing a subtle yet systemic re-engineering of the Christian faith. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) presents itself as a fresh move of the Holy Spirit, promising a "Second Apostolic Age" of miracles and global transformation. However, beneath this veneer of charismatic renewal lies a sophisticated New Age Trojan Horse.
By utilizing "semantic hijacking"—the practice of using biblical vocabulary to mask occultic and Gnostic concepts—the NAR is effectively hollowing out historical Christianity. Its true objective is not a revival of the Gospel, but a transition of the Body of Christ into a "New Golden Age" that mirrors the esoteric Age of Aquarius.
This page serves as a discernment guide to expose the NAR’s militant strategy to subvert the church from within and replace the sufficiency of Scripture with a man-made pursuit of earthly dominion and divinity.
Theological Subversion
🚩
A "New" Deception: The NAR claims to be a "New Apostolic Reformation," yet it is a Counter-Reformation designed to dismantle the foundations of the Protestant faith—specifically Sola Scriptura—and replace biblical authority with the whims of men.
🚩
Semantic Hijacking & The New Age Bridge: The NAR acts as a New Age Trojan Horse. It uses Christian terminology as a "bridge" to transition believers into the Age of Aquarius. Their "Golden Age" is a man-made utopia populated by humans who believe they have "spiritually evolved" into gods. (See The Hidden Agenda Behind The Passion Bible Translation).
🚩
The "Great Purge" and the Anti-Christ Label: A dark tenet of NAR eschatology is the belief in a coming End-Time Purge. They often categorize Christians who remain "stuck" in traditional Bible doctrine as "Grays"—stagnant souls unwilling to evolve into the "new thing" God is doing. In a radical reversal, those who cling to the Word are labeled as having the "spirit of the Anti-Christ."
🚩
The Selection Process: This mirrors New Age teachings regarding the "Selection Process," where those who cannot vibrate at the new planetary frequency (the "Old Age" holdouts) must be removed from the earth to allow the New Age to manifest. In NAR circles, this is framed as God "removing the old skins" to make way for the new, effectively maligning any believer who refuses to submit to narcissistic apostolic authority.
🚩
The Occultic "Anointing": The NAR version of the "Anointing" is closer to the Kundalini experience or an occultic energy transfer than the biblical indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This "fire" is often caught through physical touch or "soaking" rather than through the Word of God. Discover more about the Kundalini experience/energy transfer).
🚩
A Different Gospel (Gnosticism): By prioritizing "portals" and "encounters" over the historical Jesus, the NAR has birthed a neo-Gnostic cult. It promises secret knowledge and supernatural power to those who "align" with their leaders, moving the believer away from the sufficiency of Christ.
Structural Deception
🚩
The Blueprint of False Authority: The movement is built upon "Apostolic Governance." By establishing modern-day Apostles and Prophets as supreme authorities, they replace the Word of God with "fresh revelations" that carry the weight of Scripture.
🚩
Compartmentalized Networks: Unlike traditional denominations, the NAR operates through decentralized networks. This structure is designed for resilience and stealth, making the movement difficult to hold accountable or dismantle through traditional means.
🚩
Plausible Deniability & Secrecy: Much like secret societies, NAR architects often hide their involvement or use plausible deniability to deflect criticism, distancing themselves from the "NAR" label while aggressively promoting its core tenets.
🚩
A Corporate Hostile Takeover: The movement frequently engages in the "hostile takeover" of local churches, entering established congregations to create division among leadership and "re-align" resources and loyalty under a distant NAR Apostle.
The Lust for Power & Mammon
🚩
The Cult of Mammon: The NAR is obsessively preoccupied with earthly wealth. Their "Great End-Time Transfer of Wealth" is a predatory teaching used to manipulate the middle class into funding the lavish lifestyles of elite leaders, masking raw greed as a spiritual mandate. (See Mind Science or Faith?)
🚩
The Seven Mountain Mandate: While Jesus stated His kingdom is not of this world, the NAR is obsessed with earthly dominion. This mandate is a blueprint for worldly political and social takeover, falsely masquerading as a biblical requirement for Christians. (See The Seven Mountain Mandate by Lance Wallnau).
🚩
Militant Elitism: The movement creates a two-tiered spiritual caste system where "Elite Apostles" issue commands of men as decrees of God. Their attributes—hostility toward critics and militant rhetoric—are the antithesis of the humble Spirit of Christ.
Key Takeaway for the Reader:
💡
The NAR does not merely want to "update" the Church; it wants to exterminate the historical Church. By labeling Bible-believing Christians as the "Anti-Christ" or "Grays," they create a theological justification for the persecution and removal of anyone who stands in the way of their global dominion. This is not a move of the Holy Spirit; it is the "Selection Process" of the New Age dressed in a suit and tie.
