We always recommend to please pray for all the sheep that are being harmed and deceived by these movements, there are a lot of sincere and God loving Christians following these wrong teachings, if we get the opportunity to talk to them let us make sure we do it out of love and not because we are trying to win an argument. We work to glorify God, not ourselves. As the Lord leads please also pray for the leaders and promoters of these movements, there is still hope for many of them, there is nothing impossible for God, remember His mercy endures for ever and there is power to save in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
Some of these leaders are :
-John Arnott, & Carol- (NAR) 'Catch the Fire' former Toronto Airport Fellowship, (a Vineyard group)- Why would God ask us to behave like animals if we were created in His image? and why to do things that are practiced in the occult?
