4) False Apostles and Prophets in Norway
APOSTLES & PROPHETS MOVEMENT DIVIDES CHURCH IN SCANDINAVIA
Some time ago Philip Powell received a letter from a Norwegian pastor asking about David Cartledge (ex OZ now in USA) and a young woman who were promoting Peter Wagner's heretical views on end-time "apostles and prophets" in that part of the world. The young woman is Christine Caine who is associated with Hillsong, Sydney. (Do a "yahoo" search on "Caine Christine" to arrive at her site.)
Already this teaching is beginning to divide the Pentecostal Church in Norway just has it has done in Australia and elsewhere. It works on a "pyramid" structure with the so called "apostle" sitting on top raking off the benefits, including in some cases financial benefits through a non biblical tithing system.
CWM has been informed that at least one "pastor" in Scandinavia is "under" apostle David Cartledge. Our biblical exposure of this scam is now being published on a web site in Norway -

Click on "Philip Powell". There are 4 separate articles.


5) Further to PONZI & cash schemes.
REACH OUT FOR CASH -
In the October 2003 Mailer under the heading "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing" CWM listed a story from the Gold Coast Sun about people losing money through so called ponzi and other schemes. A pastor associated with Reach Out For Christ contacted Philip and objected to our publishing the story maintaining that it was false and eventually asserting that Queen's Counsel had been instructed to take legal action.

Since then the newspaper involved has published two further stories
which you can read at:
http://www.christian-witness.org/not_in_pubs/oct_mmDetail.html#cash http://www.christian-witness.org/active/mail/y_letters.html#rofc
http://www.christian-witness.org/not_in_pubs/dec_mmDetail.html

together with the original story at:
http://www.christian-witness.org/past_mailers/oct03mm.html

Ponzi schemes are now an international feature. It is rumoured that notable ministers and ministries in the USA are under investigation in respect of this sort of activity. In the current CETF (issue 28 - see above for down-load option) a certified accountant has issued a letter owarning about Churches offering "get rich quick" schemes. Be ware. We are presently investigating claims that the Joyce Meyer Ministry is under scrutiny in the USA for possible misuse of funds. More on that in the next mailer.

6) Knesset Shaken and another wall collapses on Temple Mount.
A scheduled Knesset debate was deferred for two hours after engineers checked suspected cracks in a decorative ceiling situated directly over the government's table and the front benches. Read on at: http://www.jpost.com Further and more interesting. Another Wall Collapses on the Temple Mount Near the Western Wall. Archaeologist and Scientists say it was as a result of the earthquake in Israel on 11th February 2004. Zechariah 14:3-11 & 21b is included in the article.

7) 'The Passion of the Christ' Mel Gibson's New Movie.
CWM is investigating the ramifications of this movie and has provided a more detailed response in the next mailer. [- Ed ]

The authors (Richard Bennet and Virgil Dunbar) of this article present reasons why such a movie is disrespectful to Christ, a deception and a blasphemy against God. The crucifixion scenes in the movie actually move people away from the true saving meaning of the crucifixion of Christ. The subliminal denial of the Deity of Christ through the identification of a movie with Christ seduces people to talk about the sufferings inflicted on Jim Caviezel as if they were inflicted on Christ. This is idolatry. In addition it prepares many people to think of Mary as the one who offered Christ’s sacrifice – totally unbiblical.

Our dear friend Richard Bennett (ex-Roman Catholic Priest) has written an excellent article (and sermon) at:- http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?sermonid=22304205957 there is a FREE MP3 re Mel Gibson's Vivid Deception http://www.bereanbeacon.org/articles/mel_gibsons_vivid_deception.htm

Two points we wish you to note about the movie.
i) It is devoutly Roman Catholic and therefore represents a false gospel.
ii) In New Zealand it has a Censor's rating of R16 due to the violence depicted. The rating has been challenged by the NZ distributors with a request to have it lowered.
CWM does not support the application and has requested that the Review Board retain the rating at the present R16. We await the outcome.
APRIL 7th 2004 The Censor's rating was lowered to R15 in New Zealand.


8) Remember the Toronto Blessings?
Or would you rather not! Was it wholly laughter or was it Holy laughter? It has been 10 years since Satan first poured out this porridge on the church.
Many were deceived by the Toronto Blessing
Many continue to be deceived by the Toronto Blessing
Many left their churches, over the Toronto Blessing
Many had their ears of discernment dulled by the Toronto Blessing
Many had them sharpened bythe Toronto Blessing If there was any blessing at all in it; Many of us back were forced back to the Word with the eyes and ears of the Bereans. (Acts 17:11).
Here’s a couple of articles to remind you of those times and the harm caused by the Toronto Blessing

DISCLAIMER – Christian Witness Ministries does not in any way endorse what happened at Toronto or at Pensacola, which was just a clone of Toronto. Christian Witness Ministries is also wary about most things published by Charisma and recommend that you use discernment in reading the articles on the following links.

9) The Bloody Legacy of Islam
An article from Chuck Sligh. It is very long but well worth reading & studying:

10.) Patrick the Evangelist
who brought the true Gospel of Christ to the Irish, is an historical figure that needs to be heard in his own reverberating words and feelings.
The heartbeat and the soul of Patrick was the Gospel in Christ Jesus, his legacy is all Scriptural with no touch or trace of the rituals and hierarchy of Rome.

With Patrick’s day upon us and with the eyes of the world watching, to download our article “The Legacy of the True Historical Patrick” and send it to others,
