Brannon Howse: Aired April 22, 2013

When self-described evangelical conservatives are peddling stories that are just as outlandish as something from Benny Hinn you know there is a problem. Today Brannon describes the danger of allowing missionaries to tell stories of how Muslims are having visions and dreams of Jesus, an angels, or a man in a white robe. The reports are numerous that many are coming to Christ through such visions but so are the stories of people being raised from the dead and food multiplying. Yet, the proof of such strange reports is sketchy at best and in many cases turns out to be proven completely false. What you may not know is that many of the reports of people becoming Christians are not really accurate. What you are not being told is that many of these Muslims are not converting to Biblical Christianity but to Catholicism. Catholic websites are filled with these stories and well they would be as such paganism is common to Catholicism. What you also may not know is that the evangelical world for years have gullibly gone along with strange and supernatural stories only to find out later they were a complete hoax. Brannon explains how Satan would love for missionaries and churches to spread these stories of people encountering Jesus or angels and thus encourage self-professing Christians around the globe to dive off into mysticism in hopes of encountering Jesus or an angel just as promoted by many popular books such as Jesus Calling or Richard Fosters’ Celebration of Discipline. Brannon turns to Romans 10 for proof that such proclamations of the gospel by visions and dreams is not in accord with Scripture. While many Southern Baptists and other denominations are spreading these stories in what appears to be an attempt to use the sensational to fill their mission budget coffers; Brannon warns that Pastors that allow such silliness into their churches need to take seriously the dangers such sensationalism can do to the body of Christ and how it undermines the authority of Scripture.
