Kingdom-Dominion heresy

Jesus' disciples should concentrate on Jesus Christ and grow and root to Him. Jesus centered faith exposes also deceitful deeds of darkness. For this reason, I bring up Kingdom-Dominion (Dominion theology) heresy. One of the main heresies of this theology is that they teach the whole world must come to believe in Jesus and after that Jesus can come back. Now it is very good to examine that what this Kingdom-Dominion heresy teaches. Big apostasy will come in the last days by charismas (spiritual gifts), in which are used in a wrong way and in by the power of the enemy (evil spirits. Fortunately there is also right kind of gifts of God and we as Jesus' disciples must learn to use and discern the real charismas (gifts) of God for deception.

 

The Latter Rain Movement

Kingdom-Dominion heresy is not a new false belief, but an old heresy, which affected the Latter Rain movement and so called Toronto Revival (Toronto blessings). The Latter Rain movement taught that there is no rapture, no antichrist, no great tribulation: church will win the world and take over it by the power of the faith, whereby the whole world will come to believe to Jesus Christ and after that Jesus Christ will come. Among Toronto Revival believers were preachers, who taught Kingdom-Dominion heresy. Kingdom-Dominion theologists also distort prophetic gifts and through these "gifts" they control people. They also demand that people must listen and believe them.

 

The Latter Rain movement taught also Kingdom-Dominion doctrines. The Latter Rain teachers are Franklin Hall, William Branham, George Warnock, John Robert Stevens, Rick Joyner, C. Peter Wagner, Paul Cain, Cindy Jacobs, Bill Hamon and so on.
 

Kingdom Dominion and coming of antichrist

 

When we examine very accurately Kingdom-Dominion doctrine, so we notice that it is preparing the coming of antichrist to the earth. Kingdom-Dominion theology canceled all important Bible teachings from the last days; it cancels rapture and teaches about saving of the whole world. This suit for an antichrist, because for a short time antichrist will take over the whole world and all people in the earth believe to him, that is the Messiah and benefactor. Jesus' faithful disciples don't believe to an antichrist, but everybody else will believe. Kingdom-Dominion teachers also reject Biblical teaching about apostasy.

 

Kingdom-Dominion preachers are waiting for great revival, but this revival is the revival of antichrist, where he deceives all people of the earth (but not faithful Jesus' disciples). The Bible teaches that the whole world will not come to believe to Jesus Christ, but the whole world will come to believe to an antichrist. It is very clear that Kingdom-Dominion teachers are preaching gospel of antichrist, in which they use Jesus' name, but power, and theology is evil work of antichrist. Kingdom-Dominion teachers are misleading people to the bosom of antichrist. Of course as Jesus' disciples, we must pray and believe to the salvation of souls, but we can't believe against God's word, and the Bible says that the whole world will not come to believe to Jesus Christ. In the last days Jesus' disciples must not be afraid, because by the grace of God in Jesus Christ, He leads us home, when we abide in Him and His Word in the Holy Spirit.

 

 Through charismatic gifts they emphasize wrong gospel

Kingdom-Dominion teachers emphasize charismatic gifts and through those gifts, they are propping up their false beliefs. Kingdom dominionists abuse of gifts must not lead Jesus' disciples to reject Biblical gifts. Jesus' disciples must reject abuse of gifts and sustain Biblical use of gifts. Kingdom Dominionists teach also wrongly about a prophetic ministry (gifts and so on) and waiting of great revival (whole world will be saved).

 

Here in Finland where I live, I saw that many of those who accepted "Toronto's charismatic revival" they were sucking evil spirits manifestations and evil doctrines. They sucked a spirit of antichrist, which prepares the coming of antichrist.

 

Prophetic ministries belong to church life, but not to control and forcing other, but edification of believers. Kingdom-Dominion teachers are emphasizing importance of apostles and prophets and how people must believe them and be obedient to them. I remember how "Toronto revival" teachers deny testing and discernment, and they even threatened and frighten people. The Bible teaches that all in church must stand up all testing. The Bible says that we must honor those leaders who rule well, but they are not in such position, that we can't test them, because we must test all things, and hold fast to the good and right.

Kingdom-Dominion doctrine is based on "visions" and "prophetic message of the spirit". In those "visions and prophecies" they control people and enslaved their churches to work and reach Kingdom-Dominionists goals.

To healthy church life belongs to visions and prophecies, but they never promote bringer of vision and prophesy, and God doesn't force to believe before testing. Visions and prophecies will glorify always God, and they always edify the church after testing.

1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.


1Jo 4:1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
 


Ecumenism and one world religion

 

Kingdom-Dominion theologians are in cooperation with ecumenism (with all churches and denominations). I believe that Kingdom-Dominionists will join to wicked one world religion, because they already believe that all the world will be saved. Ecumenism also believes that all people are saved and are one.

Ecumenism strives to gain recognition for unity of religions, in which all religions are saving religions, and all people are saved and going through different paths to God ( read god, an idol). Many leading teachers have the connection to Roman Catholic Church and to ecumenism, so it is obviously, that they also lead their troops into a wicked ecumenical way of thinking.
 

 

Kingdom-Dominion doctrine delusions

 

Kingdom-Dominion doctrine contains also following delusions:

 

- Church will evangelize the world until God's kingdom expands and finally covers the whole world.

- This present time is time of God's kingdom in the earth.

 
- Church will establish millennial conditions on the earth before coming of Jesus. Church will make paradise on the earth, in which Jesus shall rule with His saints.

 

- They say that old testament promises are not valid for Israel, because the church has replaced Israel. 

- They teach that the coming of Jesus can't happen before the whole world has believed to God.

- They place great tribulation, antichrist and apostasy of the church to the history and not to the end time; On the other hand, some of them teach that great tribulation, antichrist and apostasy of the church are symbolic metaphors, but not facts.

- They believe religious (ecumenical) unity, in which they are ready to work with all churches for winning of the whole world. 

- and so on ........

Few comment to previous delusions: The Bible doesn't teach, that the whole world will come to believe to Jesus Christ. Kingdom-Dominion theology prepares the coming of antichrist to the world, because the Bible says that all people (all but not faithful Jesus' disciples) in the last days for a short time will believe and bow antichrist. Therefore, it is very obviously, that Kingdom-Dominion preachers teach the gospel of antichrist.

 

This present time is time where people of the world are in captivity of sin and satan. The kingdom of God works in the heart of Jesus' disciples, so this present time is not the kingdom of God in the earth.

Church doesn't establish paradise on the earth and not millennial kingdom, but Jesus Christ will establish and will rule there as Prince of Peace.

 

Church has not replaced Israel, because every man who repents and believes to Jesus Christ are saved, whether he is a Jew or gentile. We must also remember that first local church in Jerusalem was Jewish and that God has promised to save the remnant of Jews in the last days.

Kingdom-Dominion preachers don't recognize lying wonder works of antichrist, and they are participants in that evil work. For this reason, they are supporting evil doctrines. The Bible says that spirit of antichrist affected already in time of the apostle Paul.
 

 

Kingdom-Dominion and  New-Age

Kingdom-Dominion theology's doctrine is theology of New Age movement. A New Age belief believes that a man is a god who reigns over the world. Kingdom-Dominion theology fit together with New Age doctrine and Kingdom dominionists will fuse perfect harmony with New Age believers and with the gospel of antichrist.

Kingdom-Dominion theology is based on faith, which makes a man special and "anointed" who has divine power and authority to rule in the world. The Bible teaches that God is the Ruler and believer is a servant, who glorify God and not himself and real power of God doesn't lead us to rule the world as the divine person.


Antichrist will proclaim that he is a god, and I believe that he also lies that all who believe in him shall be as God.

Gen 3:5 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.’ Jewish Publication OlD Testament Society

Ge 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them

Aspiration of satan was deceiving a man to think that he is as God, but God said that He created a man in His own image, not as God, but as an image of God. There is the big difference to as God or to be as an image of God. Antichrist will finish this lie of paradise and lies to people that they are as God. He will use all wicked wonders in order to mislead people in the last days.

The Bible teaches that believers grow towards the image of God from the grace of God through the faith in the Holy Spirit. Jesus' disciples are in this growth, and they are not as God.

 

More Kingdom Dominion delusions

 

Kingdom-Dominion theology is known also by these names: Dominion Theology/Kingdom Now/Reconstructionism. They have the same goal: though power evangelism wins the whole world to believe to Jesus Christ and after this, He will come.

 

Power theology through word of faith

 

Power theology dominionists mean that believers have power to change a world to come believe in Jesus Christ and that believers own whole Divinity perfectly in this present time. For this reason, they emphasize that believers can't be sick or poor, and they must be like super faith hero people. Well-known Dominion theology teachers are et cetera Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Frederick Price and Benny Hinn.

 

 

Dominion theology preachers teach (translated from Finnish text): God's original intention was copying Himself, and that Christians are actually as little gods. As god Christians by the faith in Christ have same speech authority as God has. For this reason responsibility of Christians is building their own kingdom on the earth by the name of Jesus. To this belongs collecting of property by gorgeous houses, watches, diamond rings, yachts and expensive cars; this is the indication to the world from divine authority. This must be done by using a word of the faith. According to Dominion theology teachers the faith is the power as a result of which Christians can create themselves to their own reality, if they have enough faith to it. For these reason Christians have power over sicknesses, in which they by the word of the faith drive away all sicknesses. This happens also through positive confessions (by repeating that I'm health) and denying the existence of sickness, although all distinctive marks of sickness exist. If you confess that you have a flu, you have made negative confession, in which you create to yourself a sickness. For these reason Christians would not ever confess that he is sick. You must avoid taking medicine, because through that you confess the existence of sickness, and you have failed to take power by the faith over sickness. Dominion theology teachers teach that very good way to learn using of the word of faith is sowing seed of the faith by donating money to this word of faith (Dominion theology) teachers.

 

The main heresy of Dominion teachers is there, that they believe that God has made a little god about the man. They believe that they have now same authority as God has, when they use this power of authority in Christ. The Bible doesn't teach that God has made from us as gods, but a man of an image of God, which means that a man should live his life according to the will of God as a man. Dominion theology believes a lie of paradise:

 

 

Gen 3:5 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.’ Jewish Publication OlD Testament Society

 

A lie of satan was that a man can be as God, knowing good and evil. It is true that a man learnt to know good and evil, but as a man, not as God. Dominion teachers believe that a man is God (little god), who through divine authority owns completely divinity on the earth. For this reason Dominion teacher teach that believer can't be a sick, and that believer can't do any sin as a believer, because a believer is perfect, who has perfect divine authority power on the earth.

 

 

Php 3:8
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 ¶ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
 

The apostle Paul taught that he was not come perfect, but he grows and follows after it.

 

 

Jas 3:1
¶ My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

 

Word offend is in Greek ptaio, which means: to cause one to stumble or fall, to stumble, to err, make a mistake, to sin.

There are none of the believers, who would be infallible (perfect), but we all do err.
 



Php 3:
15¶ Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

 

In verse 15 is a word perfect, which is in Greek teleios, which means also: full grown, adult, of full age, mature. That place speaks about full age and mature in Christ, not that we are perfect and can't do any errs, because we all do err. Fortunately, God will reveal to us that how the things are, and we can repent and reach out according to the will of God. The Bible teaches that believer will not come as perfect and makes mistakes (sin). Making mistakes and living in sins are two different things. He who lives in sins, doesn't want to repent, but a believer who falls making sin, must repent. That fact that we don't come perfect (sinless) in this time can't be for us a defense to sin making, but a matter that our growth is still going on, and we have to grow in righteousness until the end.

God will heal diseases even today, but not according to Dominion Theology. Dominion theology teachers think that all diseases are as the indication about the lack of the faith, and therefore, none of the believer can't have ever any disease. The will of God is healing diseases, but apostle Paul left Trophimus at Miletum sick. The apostle Paul was not a supporter of Dominion theology, but a teacher of doctrine of Christ. We can't belittle God's healing power, because He heals powerfully even today, but not according to Dominion theology.
 

 

Money

 

Dominion Theology preachers are collecting themselves a property and money by their teachings. Unfortunately, many sincere believers have been misled to support these faith fakers. Dominion Theology has led its preachers to pursue money, property and economic welfare, but the Bible teaches that the love of money is a root of all evils, by which some having lusted after it was seduced from the faith, and they pierced themselves through by many pains. Believer needs also money to live here on earth, but our task is not collecting money and property, but grow in righteousness. Lust of the money is one sin of Dominion Theology preachers besides other sins, which they have. Dominion theology preachers are preaching prosperity gospel, not the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

 

Delusion of Divinity

 

2Th 2:
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

 

 

Dominion theology preachers main heresy is there that they believe that a man is God. What is the main heresy of antichrist? Antichrist also makes himself as God with all lying wonders, which imitate works of the Holy Spirit. I believe that many Dominion theology preachers work with anointment of antichrist ant not with anointment of God. Dominion theology preachers are preparing the coming of antichrist to the world, not coming of Jesus.

 

 

 

Emphasises of Dominion theology doctrine

 


Dominion Theology teaches. That satan hijacked dominion over the earth from Adam and Eve through falling of paradise; church is God's tool to take back dominion of the earth; Jesus don't come back before church has taken dominion over nations and societies of the earth.

 

God did not give dominion of the earth to Adam and Eve without co-operation with God. Dominion theology teaches that all nations and people of the world must believe to Jesus Christ, before He can come back; this doctrine is heretic doctrine, because the Bible shows to us that the whole world will not come to believe in Jesus Christ, but the whole world will (except Jesus' disciples) come to believe in the antichrist. Dominion theology prepares the coming of antichrist, not coming of Jesus Christ.

 

 

Dominion Theology teaches:

 

- That old covenant law must rule our life; keeping of the law is not condition for salvation, but condition to sanctification; some Dominion theology supporters have raised keeping of the law as the question of salvation.

 

- They wait for big revival in the end time. Whereby big masses (the whole world) of people turn to believe Jesus. They don't believe a rapture, but coming of Jesus Christ after the whole world has begun to believe in Jesus Christ.

 

Many heresies are based on deeds and works of a man. Dominion theology raises the law in that position, which belong to God, in other words, God will save people by the redemption work of Jesus Christ, not by keeping of the law. Christ rules hearts of believers in the Holy Spirit according to the teachings of the Bible, and not according to old covenant law.

Dominion Theology teaches that the whole world will come to believe in Jesus is not teaching of the Bible, because the Bible teaches that the world will not come to believe in Jesus Christ, but to the antichrist. Dominion theology preaches the gospel of antichrist.
 

 

Taking part in evil deeds

 

Ga 2:
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.


The apostle Paul had a different kind of habit to react to delusions, false brethren and wrong teachings as current believers have. Majority about current believers has assumed a positive position and attitude of tolerance to delusions and deceivers. The apostle Paul kept very important that truth of the gospel remained as the truth, and all lies and deception Jesus' disciples must reveal and reject. Paul didn't submit himself to delusions, but he fought for real gospel, and we must do also the same thing.

 

Some believers become angry when some wrong teachers have been criticized (in the correct way), and when their wrong roots have been exposed. We have to follow teaching of the Bible, and not itching ears of people.

 

 

1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.


1Jo 4:1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

 

The Bible teaches that we must test all spirits and all teachings, that are those spirits from God or not. Biblical testing is not to hit the people, but a valuable tool, which gives us tools to discern the truth and a lie, and righteousness and sin, and the will of God and evil delusion.

 

To healthy Church life belongs to testing of teaching, because if we don't test teaching by the Spirit and the word of God, so we can be deceived to anywhere. Jesus Christ taught, that we must believe in Him like it is written in the Scriptures (Bible), and so the living water (the Holy Spirit) flows in our heart. The Bible shows how the Holy Spirit works, and the Holy Spirit works according to teaching of the Bible. Church must test all, and this is very good, because in that way we don't go astray. If testing exposes wrong teaching, so it means that Church has preserved about delusions, and also it is more difficult that delusion can spread to other Churches. If we deny testing, so it means that we allow an invasion of wrong teachings to corrupt hearts of Jesus' disciples.

 

If we, for example, deny testing of Benny Hinn, who teaches: (”So, I am Benny Jehovah,” Spiritual Warfare Seminar, 2.5. 1990), so we participate and support his delusion. Unfortunately, many believers have gone into the trap, which teach that you can't test and judge anybody. They have fallen to support delusion and sin. Testing is not judging, but Biblically measured!

 

If you don't allow testing of fakers, you are in the chains of religious spirit, which tolerate all where is used the name of Jesus, but are taught wrong teachings.

 

 

Mt 7:
15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
 

 

Jesus Christ said, there will come false prophets, which come in sheep's clothing, but they are inwardly as ravening wolves. These false prophets say; Lord, Lord, and they have done many wonderful works in Jesus' name. Jesus Christ says to them: "I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity."

 

It is not automat, that works done by the name of Jesus are from God. Unfortunately, some of the works done by the name of Jesus, have done with power of evil spirits. However, as Jesus Christ said, we can know false prophets by their fruits. Therefore, we have a permission to test all teachings!

 

Ga 5:
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

Fruit of the Spirit (the Holy Spirit) exposes that who is serving God as Jesus' disciple. Obedience to truth in love is the mark, that a man is serving God. An obedient servant doesn't believe deceivers and deceiving doctrines.

 

In the end time works out big apostasy, mainly through wrong doctrines and false charismatic gifts. For this reason, many believers have rejected real gifts of the Spirit. God is not dead, but He works also through His gifts, and we as Jesus' disciples must learn to use and discern the real charismas (gifts) of God. May God bless you and equip you with the real anointment of God, which supports the truth and the love in the Holy Spirit.
