From: LLMouser - 12/23/00 - In an interview in the July-August 2000 issue of Strang Communications' Ministries Today Magazine, Dr. C. Peter Wagner, presiding Apostle of the International Coalition of Apostles (ICA) and convening Apostle of the New Apostolic Roundtable (NAR) discusses the progress of his New Apostolic Reformation. Dr. Wagner claims to have been possessed by a "headache" demon during the ten years he developed the core of his theology and church growth strategies. Members of the Assemblies of God (and others) may be interested in the following excerpt: "Both denominations and traditional educational institutions are old wineskins. People who understand biblical culture of the first century in terms of wineskins know that the preferable place for new wine is in new wineskins. But some old wineskins can be refurbished, and some old wineskins can develop into the place where they can handle the new wine. "Of all the denominations that I have come across as I have been studying this for almost 10 years, I have only found one denomination that has actually made the change from a traditional, bureaucratic denomination to new apostolic leadership. They still call it a denomination, but they are transformed to new apostolic leadership. It is the Australian Assemblies of God. It is amazing. This next month, David Cartledge, one of the apostles who has been leading this change, is coming out with a new book called The Apostolic Revolution. It is a very insightful book. I got to do the forward for it. It is insightful about how a denomination has intentionally turned around and become apostolic. He has quite a few things to say about the American Assemblies of God, incidentally, which is not inclined to take that step. So, it is going to be a fascinating publication that people are going to love to read." Yours in Christ, David Liben http://members.aol.com/delusionapostasy/myhomepage/news.html |
