In it I will show that the restoration\/Latter Rain idea that fuels the<br \/>\nNew Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is unbiblical and dangerous to the well-being of<br \/>\nChristians who become part of it. First we will review how the early church<br \/>\nunderstood apostles in church history. Then we will examine the Roman Catholic<br \/>\nChurch\u2019s teaching about apostolic authority. From there we will examine the<br \/>\nideas of a 17th-century mystic given new life in the Latter Rain movement, and<br \/>\nnow the NAR.<\/p>\n<p>At a 1996 Fuller Seminary conference hosted by C. Peter Wagner, a movement<br \/>\nthat Wagner previously labeled \u201cpost-denominational\u201d became the New Apostolic<br \/>\nReformation.<sup><a href=\"#_edn1\" target=\"_blank&lt;br\"><\/a> <\/sup> Besides Wagner himself is another person prominent in<br \/>\nthe movement\u2014Bill Hamon\u2014who is strongly endorsed by Wagner. Hamon is important,<br \/>\nas we will see, because his ministry goes all the way back to the early 1950\u2019s<br \/>\nand began on the heels of the Latter Rain Movement.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"font-size: 11px; border-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; width: 107px; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;\" width=\"107\" align=\"right\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came across this excellent article today about &#8220;The Roots and Fruits of the New Apostolic Reformation&#8221;, by Bob De Waay.
