I was dumbfounded when I read a WorldNetDaily (WND) exclusive that had this headline, “Christianity taking over planet?”<\/a><\/strong> The article was promoting the claims of Jim Rutz and his book named “Megashift”. Rutz said Christianity was growing so fast that the whole world could become Christian by 2032. He also claimed that many people were being raised from the dead all over the world and people were being converted by seeing signs and miracles from the New Apostolic Reformation<\/a> <\/strong>(NAR) anointed apostles, prophets and miracle workers.<\/p>\n

I really was not born on a turnip truck so I put my hip boots on and looked into the Rutz claims and I found out that Rutz is just selling crackers piled high with more NAR baloney.<\/p>\n

I guess it is all about selling books with WND because there certainly is no true story for them to be promoting here, and they ought to know it. Some will do most anything for a buck. Giving NAR heretics a platform to sell their damnable heresies seems to be of\u00a0 no concern to them.<\/p>\n

Rutz claims that Christianity has been growing at 8 percent a year and that there would be more Christians than people in the world by 2032 if present trends continue. He does say he expects pockets of resistance but apparently he thinks the whole would is going to become Christianized in the next twenty years and that they will set up a new paradise on earth before the Lord physically returns.<\/p>\n

The facts are that Rutz’s facts are just pulled out of his butt. They cannot be substantiated. All projections from the top encyclopedias indicate that Christianity has been about one third of the world population for quite a while and at the present Christianity growth rate it will remain about one third of the population between now and 2050. (Islam will grow to about 25 percent in that period.) The NAR people know that Christian numbers are not increasing in percentage in nations where they can be counted so they say that Christianity is growing in places where nobody can count them. Since the supposed conversions are often kept secret there simply is no way to validate any of their ridiculous claims ranging from raising people to life to these fabricated numbers .<\/p>\n

These Dominion Theology people also conveniently have a very broad definition of what Christianity is. With these people anyone that in any way identifies with Christianity is a Christian even if it was just part of the culture that they were born into. With others if they believe in Jesus they are a Christian even if Jesus is just one of their many gods. The truth is that most that identify as Christians in America and Europe are not true Christians at all and neither are those pagans that attend these signs and wonders circuses and then return to their own pagan gods afterward.<\/p>\n

Even here in America the NAR clowns get crowds to watch their circus performances because many people are desperate for a healing. Many of these would, and do, go to snake oil salesmen for healing (most often these crowds are the same sad-sacks that keep coming over and over again). Superstitious religious people will believe anything if it gives them an emotional tingle. Catholics and Hindus and others also claim to have supernatural signs. Even any good mentalist or witch doctor knows how to create the mass hypnotism and mass hysteria that prevails in these meetings.<\/p>\n

The Gospel of salvation must be preached but too often it is missing in these traveling circuses. Salvation come by hearing the word of God and faith in the One that they heard about. People are not converted to Jesus though people that have not demonstrated that they have any real signs and wonders to give.<\/p>\n

There is a pretty good analysis at “Let us Reason ministries” about the book “Megashift<\/strong>“<\/a> and the cracker claims of Rutz Dominion Theology.<\/p>\n

Here is another very good link from Appraising ministries<\/a><\/strong> telling about the errors of the New Apostolic Reformation and the well known Dominion Theology heretics in the movement that also associate with Word Faith blab-it-and-grab-it healing and prosperity teachings.<\/p>\n

I do not know why many Christians want to promote every false whim that comes out in a book. True Christians are really only a small percentage of the world and by measuring all the false teaching that is being accepted as Christian it tells me that true Christianity is actually becoming a smaller part of the world pie in percentages.<\/p>\n

True Christianity simply is not going to take over the earth. That is not what we were told to do. Jesus is coming for His Church soon and then the evil in the world will be judged. The present world will be destroyed, it is not going to be made into some paradise by a presumptuous self anointed priesthood that twists God’s word to their own advantage to make themselves Church big shots. Only after the Church returns with Christ and rules and reigns with Him in His kingdom on earth is their any form of Christian Dominion Theology on the earth. That is what the Bible clearly teaches in spite of Rutz crackers and baloney.<\/p>\n
