Is the Alpha Course of God, or is it heresy!
Hundreds of thousands are being misled...
Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ. I am writing to you about an aspect of satanic deception that inspires fervent animosity from the majority of Christian denominations. Even those who sincerely hold fast to Christ’s teachings have been taken in by this despicable
If it were possible, even the very elect… In a recent conversation with someone I consider to be a man of God, I was reminded of the power of this particular deception. When I mentioned that the Alpha Course, was the last things we need to reach the lost, I got this response, “Gordon your are going right over the top this time. I’ve been to Holy Trinity Brompton and listened to the testimonies myself, and can tell you that the Alpha Course if a good thing” or words to that effect. My friend defended Alpha despite putting some of the information I’m going to share with you to him. The Alpha Course has created a spiritual “blind spot” even long standing Christians cannot see how diabolical it is. My purpose is to blow the lid off this deception. I do not doubt the sincerity of those who have been suckered into this, however I would be concerned about anyone who, when presented with the bare facts, continues to walk in this darkness. Before I share some of my extensive research with you I want to make some very important observations. These are general observations that hold true with anything that the enemy is using to deceive. The first is, mass acceptance. When something like this gets world-wide acceptance it should set alarm bells ringing in out mind. This world belongs to God; the world system however, belongs to Satan. The Alpha Course has gained unprecedented support across all denominational lines. The enemy will only allow this if it serves his purpose to undermine the body of Christ. The second is, Alpha has been embraced by the Catholic Church. To let you see how insidious this “blind spot” is, I refer back to my conversation with my Christian friend. I asked him, "are you saying that the Catholic Church is running the Alpha Course in order to bring people to “faith in Jesus Christ?” Or do they run the course then induct the attendees into Mary worship, Idol worship and the Catholic Mass?” Still my friend defended Alpha. Let’s look at this more closely. This is what’s so concerning, if a person has been called of God to pastor a church, wouldn’t the Lord also give that person everything they need to feed the flock in his charge? Of course he would! The Lord equips everyone He calls. If you are pasturing a church and you have to look to the apostate Anglican Church, for material to do your job, it may be prudent to ask yourself whether you are called to this office at all. If you do not know how to reach the lost and win souls to Christ, do you have any business leading God people? By deferring responsibility to feed the flock to the apostate Anglican Church, haven’t you disqualified yourself? Indeed isn’t it a mockery of the brave men and women of the Covenant who died to free themselves, their Church and their Country from the yoke of Roman Catholicism? Why has the Roman Catholic Church adopted Alpha? Let me quote from Alpha’s own material. The following comes from “Nicky Gumbel meets Pope John Paul II.” (Even the handshake looks Masonic) “You may ask - "What is Alpha for Catholics?" Alpha for Catholics refers to the use of the Alpha course within the Catholic Church. It is the unchanged standard Alpha course. Alpha is compatible with Catholic teaching, but it does not present wholly Catholic issues. It assumes that follow-up teachings will be offered to Catholics and those wishing to become Catholic if they are not already. The Catholic Church world-wide is embracing the Alpha Course as it is being run in Catholic Parishes in over 30 countries, including Japan and Singapore in Asia, and now Hong Kong!” (Emphasis Mine) www.alpha.org.hk To say that “Alpha is compatible with Catholic teaching” is tantamount to saying, “this teaching has nothing to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!” Any born again believer, cow-towing to the Papal crown, has seriously lost their way, not to mentions his/her love for Christ and His body. There was a time in Scotland when Foxes Book of Martyrs was required reading in all Churches, why? Because of the extreme danger of forgetting what our arch enemy is capable of. How soon we forget, how tragic the consequences! The fish rots from the head down. The Anglican Church is well and truly in the pocked of the Vatican Antichrist System. Let’s look at the Anglican Church, perhaps they are a good Christian organisation and we are just intolerant. The following comes from; Virtue Online the “Voice for Global Orthodox Anglicanism” The article is entitled... LOS ANGELES: Service celebrates 2 beliefs Episcopalians hold an Indian Rite Mass with Hindus and apologize for past religious discrimination. “Hindu nun Pravrajika Saradeshaprana, dressed in a saffron robe, blew into a
Rowan Williams, the head of the Church, is a confirmed Druid, the following comes from... Rebecca Allison, guardian.co.uk and was posted on Tuesday 6th August 2002, she writes, “An ancient early morning ceremony yesterday saw the incoming Archbishop of Canterbury stepping into a circle of Pembrokeshire stones and into a controversy. Rowan Williams donned a long white robe, stood inside the sacred circle in a mist shrouded field in Wales, and became a druid.” What You don’t need to believe me my friends, let the Anglican Bishops speak for themselves… In the British newspaper the "Daily News" 25/6/84 under the heading "Shock survey of Anglican Bishops" We read "More than half of England's Anglican Bishops say that Christians are not obliged to believe that Jesus Christ was God, according to a survey published today. The pole of 31 of England's 39 bishops shows that many of them think that Christ's miracles, the virgin birth and the resurrection might not have happened exactly as described in the Bible. Only 11 of the bishops insisted that Christians must regard Christ as both God and man, while 19 said it was sufficient to regard Jesus as 'God's supreme agent'" (Emphasis Mine) If the Alpha Course is of God then why is it being adopted by the ungodly? The reason is very simple and should jolt us out of our complacency. Matthew 7:15-19 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Christ tells us, in no uncertain terms, that if the tree is bad, the fruit will also be bad. My friends you need to research this for yourself! I have found a link to Alpha that goes back to the Toronto Blessing, look here: http://www.firstplumbline.net/html/drnickygumbalthepowersbehindthealphacoursepart1.html I could go on all day adding one damming thing on top of another. But I’m not going to add any more research material; this is something you need to study yourself. When I speak to some Christians I’m utterly appalled at how ignorant they are about how their enemy operates. Brother’s and Sister’s let me ask you to stop for a moment and consider what is going on hear. We have a tool for evangelism that is running around the world gaining momentum as it goes. It has been adopted into every denomination and most non-denominational church’s world wide. People are being “recruited” into Churches, and the church is getting weaker. Almost no one is preaching repentance. Instead we are inviting people over for a meal and a discussion about the “meaning of life” preaching a social message, avoiding offending anyone, hoping they will make a decision for Christ. This is complete and total MADNESS! Hear is what we are saying in essence, “no one comes unto the father except the church persuades them” Is this the Gospel of Christ? How much longer will we deceive ourselves? We get into a huddle and pray for our town, pleading with God. We invite friendly comfortable people we know to “come along to our church… you’ll really enjoy it.” When we get really frustrated because our church isn’t growing, what do we come up with? “Right I’ve had enough of this, we’re going to get into the community and make something happen… let’s put an advert in the paper and invite people to an Alpha Course!? Dose this sound pathetic? It should. We will do anything except what Christ commanded us to do. “Go yea therefore…” What is the biblical model? Get out into the highways and byways and preach that the kingdom of God has come near. If they accept your message let your blessing remain, if they reject it, remove your blessing and wipe the dust off your sandals then move on. Wherever you go lay hands on the sick, cast out demons, cleanse the leper and raise the dead. When people repent make disciples of them, how? The same way Christ did. Demonstrate the power of God, teach biblical basics then send the disciples out to do what they have seen done! Freely you have received, freely give. Some of us have been languishing in Church for decades being “fed” telling ourselves and others “we’re not called to go out and compel others to hear the Gospel, we are going to pray for the lost in our closet” This is a lie from hell. I was one of these people, that’s why I can testify to this. There is blood on my hands also. But no more! It’s time to get on with what we are called to do. If you are one of those who have had enough, get in touch, there is much to be done, the harvest is white, I’m asking you to be one of the few who will hear this wake up call, whilst there is still time. May God have mercy on us all. ***************************************************************************************** Just in! Just before posting this newsletter I found this from the Gay Episcopalian Bishop who prayed for the new president at his swearing in ceremony. A Prayer for the Nation and Our Next President, Barack Obama By The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire Where will it all end? Brothers and sister if we don’t take a stand for truth, who will? This man is not a repentant homosexual, he is a practicing homosexual. The new president has appointed this man as his advisor on Gay rights. What utter and total mandess indeed. This is the track record of the organisation that produces Alpha. How can good fruit come from a bad tree?

Alpha News and the article is entitled, 
conch shell three times, calling to worship Hindu and Episcopal religious leaders who joined Saturday to celebrate an Indian Rite Mass at St. John's Cathedral near downtown. The rare joint service included chants from the Temple Bhajan Band of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and a moving rendition of "Bless the Lord, O My Soul" sung by the St. John's choir. "This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience in worship service," said Bob Bland, a member of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church of Thousand Oaks, who was among the 260 attendees. "There was something so holy -- so much symbolism and so many opportunities for meditation." By K. Connie Kang, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer, The Los Angeles Times, January 20, 2008. (Emphasis mine) 
was the response from Rowan Williams when this news came out ? “Some people have reached the wrong conclusion about the ceremony. If people had actually looked at the words of the hymns and text used they would have seen a very Christian service." (Emphasis Mine)
