It is true that the evangelical base has embraced republican ideology as somehow being righteous. In doing so, anyone who deviates is branded as a less than Christian if saved at all. The mistake is in assigning any righteousness at all to a carnal political party. There are not two gospels but one. It is both social and evangelical. We must recognize this line of thinking for what it is though -- pure NAR. It is the same dominionist language you will hear from Bethel and IHOP. The notion that we must guide two political parties who both believe we are utter fools, to embrace Christian policies is asinine at best. This carnal solution is from NAR theology because they want to save this world. They are fixated with faux revival. They love living in Sodom because of the excess Sodom brings. We are supposed to be pilgrims and sojourners through this world understanding our true citizenship is in heaven. We need to stop rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic and start pointing people to the lifeboat, Jesus. Allen concludes:
"After the pope sent a video of reconciliation to Kenneth Copeland in 2014 many national and international church leaders joined together in Christian unity. However, the urgent need to unite the body of Christ now must be communicated from the national leadership of movements and denominations to the local churches. The city fathers must become champions of unity, bringing the body of Christ together to impact their communities. The prayer of Jesus in John 17 is not only about unity. It is for unity with a purpose, "That the world may believe" (John 17:21b). Let us join with Jesus in His prayer for unity." -- Ron Allen
Beloved pay careful attention here. Kenneth Copeland has stored up 650 million dollars from making merchandise of the Gospel. The current advisor to the president, Paula White is on her third marriage and has earned 5 million preaching rank heresy. The reason why the church will fall prey to the one world religion in the end times is because those that lead it are not operatives for Christ. They are the hirelings Jesus warned us about. They are leading lambs to slaughter and will lead the way to accept the Mark of the Beast. What do they care? They have no fear of God before them. This is why the Gospel matters. This is why the Gospel is the final arbiter. Unity for the sake of unity has Pope Francis reconciling with Kenneth Copeland and then they get together with Paula White and Joel Osteen. Soon Joseph Prince and Robert Morris join in with Rick Warren and TD Jakes. Throw in some Oprah and Tyler Perry and some slick marketing and you have the recipe for what Revelation warns us about. The one world religion. When it happens most will not realize it because their own pastors will be leading the charge. The song playing in the background of that charge will be Kumbaya and the rallying cry will be unity.
Not without doctrine beloved. Not without doctrine.
