On February 22-23, 2019,
the
God’s
Voice Conference: A Biblical Response to the Queering of the
Church, was held at Faith Baptist Church in Oklahoma City. The stated purpose
of the conference was to counter the false claims of the
Revoice
Conference for “Promoting LGBT+ Flourishing in Historic Christian Tradition”
which was held in a PCA church in St. Louis in June of 2018.
Led by Nate Collins, a Ph.D. from Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, Revoice Conference speakers promoted
the unscriptural and unscientific argument that sexual
orientation is predetermined by God and, therefore, gays,
lesbians and transgender persons, who cannot change how God
made them, have no need of repentance. For this reason, LGBT
and other sexual minorities should be affirmed in their
sexual orientation and received into churches as Christians
with full membership privileges including leadership
positions. Revoice speakers boldly asserted that LGBT “queer
culture” possesses virtues and spiritual gifts that are
needed in the Christian Church which has historically
rejected them. A Revoice workshop on Queer Theory alleged
that the “virtues of queer culture” will be “treasure” in the
future New Jerusalem:
POSSIBILITY MODELS IN QUEER THEORY AND
LITERATURE: AN ADVENTURE
“For the sexual minority seeking to
submit his or her life fully to Christ and to the historic Christian
sexual ethic, queer culture presents a bit of a dilemma; rather than
combing through and analyzing to find which parts are to be
rejected, to be redeemed, or to be received with joy (Acts
17:16-34), Christians have often discarded the virtues of queer
culture along with the vices, which leaves culturally connected
Christian sexual minorities torn between two cultures, two
histories, and two communities. So questions that have until now
been largely unanswered remain: what does queer culture (and
specifically, queer literature and theory) have to offer us who
follow Christ? What queer treasure, honor, and glory will be brought
into the New Jerusalem at the end of time (Revelation 21:24-26)?”
The source of this aberrant
belief is the ancient heresy of Gnosticism derived from the
pagan belief that androgyny was the original state of man,
of which more will be said in this report.
The stated purpose of the God’s Voice
Conference was to refute this queer delusion and to provide the Church
and LGBT people with the Biblical alternative:
“GOD’S VOICE will bring biblical
clarity to the recent confusion surrounding the issues of
‘re-voiced’ sexuality and ‘LGBTQ+ Christians.’ GOD’S VOICE will
present a biblical response to the queering of the church of Jesus
Christ, in an effort to teach, strengthen and encourage believers
and Christian leaders across all denominations to stand on the
inerrant, unchanging and life-transforming power of the Word of God.
What the church needs now is GOD’S VOICE.”
The pre-conference promotion of God’s
Voice as the Biblical alternative to Revoice seemed credible and
compelling. However, after viewing the live conference and doing
extensive research, it was apparent there was a far different agenda
than giving those trapped in LGBT+ death styles the
“life-transforming power of the Word of God.” This report will document
that the well-hidden agenda of the God’s Voice Conference was to draw
Christians away from sound doctrine into the same Gnostic belief system
espoused by the Revoice “Gay Christian” Conference.
HEARING GOD’S VOICE
Janet Mefferd, host of the radio
program Janet Mefferd Today, addressed the God’s Voice conference
opening
session
with a message on the importance of hearing “God’s Voice” from the
Bible. Her exhortation (starting at 1:24:30) was accompanied by numerous hand signs which
are known in the occult world to be symbols of Satan used in witchcraft.
These were only a few of the Satanic
hand signals in Janet’s opening address. The following day there were
yet more hand signs.
This is not a normal hand gesture. It
is unnatural and awkward to do unintentionally — 25+ times
in 32 minutes. The horned hand sign is found exclusively in
witchcraft and symbolizes the Great Goat God, Pan. It is a
potent weapon used by experienced witches and sorcerers to execute
Satan’s agenda in this world.
The Great God Pan
“Pantheism
is the pagan doctrine that the universe is God
and that there is no God but the combined forces and
laws which are manifested in the existing universe.
Pan, the
hermaphrodite god of nature,
is claimed by occultists to have procreated the world.
Pantheism, as the study of the first
‘principle
of nature’
(PAN),
is the basis of comparative religion classes.
Pantheism is also promoted under the guise of
‘panentheism’—that God is both in and beyond the
creation. This false teaching is the springboard for
introducing other heresies, such as the divinity of man
and the androgyny of God. Panentheism is the religion of
the Kabbalah.”
(Heeding Bible
Prophecy: New Religion: Pantheism)
Occult societies
communicate their secret
doctrine and agenda through the use of symbols. Due to their conspiratorial nature
and purpose, the language of symbols conceals their Satanic
anti-Christian beliefs and practices from the masses.
“Symbols play a vital role to those
involved in the New Age Movement... The symbols serve...as a form of
universal language.” (76:64-5)
“Witchcraft is the
exercise or invocation of alleged supernatural powers to control
people or events, practices typically involving sorcery or magic.”
(Britannica)
In witchcraft, symbols are also used to
communicate with demons and thus have demonic power, more so if the
target is unaware that witchcraft is taking place. Hand signals are used
to create a ritual setting by banishing unwanted spirits and invoking
evil spirits, and to conduct occult rituals during which a witch
(female) or wizard (male) casts spells, pronounces curses and performs
other acts of ritual magic without the knowledge of the intended
victims.
“A wandless spell is a spell which
is performed without the use of a wand. This form of magic can be
particularly volatile, and can only be used effectively by powerful
and disciplined wizards and witches. Sometimes, specific hand
gestures focus the power of the spell and guide it to the target.
This magic can be coupled with silent magic to cast spells under any
circumstances.” (Harry
Potter Wiki)
“In The Aquarian Conspiracy...Marilyn
Ferguson had said that the ‘conspirators’ communicated by code words
and signals.” (79:32)
These Aquarian conspirators are
communicating with other Aquarian conspirators by their hand signals.
They are also communicating with the demonic realm.
“Occultists the world over believe
that, once a symbol is created, it acquires power of its own, and more
power is generated when such symbol(s) are created without the profane
[uninitiated] knowing about it. And, the greatest power of all is
created in the symbol(s) if the uninitiated NEVER discover that the
symbol exists.” (Masonic
Symbols in their Seat of Power)
THE LAUSANNE CONGRESS & THE
COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL POLICY
Janet Mefferd hosts “two nationally
syndicated daily Christian talk shows: Janet Mefferd Today, airing on Bott
Radio Network and other stations nationwide, and Janet Mefferd
Live on American Family Radio, with
a combined reach of more than 400 radio stations nationwide.” Janet Mefferd
interviews guests from organizations that represent the Religious Right,
including Roman Catholic, Evangelical, and Jewish organizations. Richard and Rich Bott, who own Bott
Radio Network are Governors of the secretive Council for National
Policy (CNP).
American Family Radio is owned by the American Family Association (AFA) which was founded by Donald Wildmon
who was on the original CNP Board of Governors and whose son, Tim
Wildmon, is president of the AFA and a member of the CNP. Many of Janet Mefferd’s guests also represent
organizations affiliated with the Council for National
Policy.
The Council for National
Policy is purported to be the Christian conservative
alternative to the elite, left-wing globalist Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR) which was founded and funded by John
D. Rockefeller. However, on the original CNP Board of
Governors there were officers of the CFR and the John Birch
Society which had ties to the CFR. Founded in 1981,
the Council for National Policy appears to be a
creation of the
International Congress on World Evangelism, which was convened
in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1974.
The Lausanne Congress was a reaction to the liberal social
gospel of the ecumenical, interfaith World Council of Churches. As Christians and
Christian denominations became disenchanted with the WCC,
Billy Graham, a 33° Freemason,
launched the ICOWE which
mobilized Evangelical and Roman Catholic leaders to work
together for the evangelization of the world during
the early years of the new millennium. Evangelization
refers to bringing entire people
groups into the Church instead of personal evangelism for the salvation of
individuals:
“Evangelization”
is a term
coined by Harold Ockenga of Fuller Theological Seminary. As we shall
discover, evangelization carries a very different meaning from
the biblical command of “[doing] the work of an evangelist” (II Tim.
4:5) — the sharing of the Gospel and bringing souls into the Church
until the fullness of the Gentiles is complete (Romans 11:25). The
very roots/origins of evangelization are contrary to Scripture.
“According
to John Stott, framer of the Lausanne Covenant:
‘The
word
‘covenant’
is not used in its technical, biblical sense, but in the
ordinary sense of a binding contract.’
Anglican Bishop A. Jack Dain Executive Chairman of ICOWE
stated:
‘Lausanne
is a Congress on evangelization, not a Congress on
evangelism.’
Billy Graham, Honorary Chairman of the LCWE, explained
the Lausanne Consultation’s
redefinition of evangelism:
‘Since
the Lausanne Congress in 1974, Christians increasingly
have been called upon to provide leadership in areas
where they were a small minority or almost did not exist
before. Evangelism has taken on a new meaning... World
problems of poverty, overpopulation and the threat of
nuclear war mount by the hour. The world is in desperate
need of the gospel, now!’”
Billy Graham’s statement on a
universal religion further expounded the false gospel of Lausanne’s “world
evangelization” movement:
“…that’s what God is doing today, He’s
calling people out of the world for His name, whether they come from the
Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world, or the
non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ because
they’ve been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus,
but they know in their hearts that they need something that they don’t
have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think that
they are saved, and that they’re going to be with us in heaven.
“…and the Roman Catholic Church has
changed. They open their arms to welcome us and we have the support of
the Catholic Church almost everywhere we go. And I think that we must
come to the place where we keep our eyes on Jesus Christ, not on what
denomination or what church or what group we belong to.”

HOW
“HEARING
GOD'S VOICE”
REPLACED “PREACHING THE GOSPEL”
OF JESUS CHRIST
The 1973 Lausanne Congress
convened with the theme,
“Let
The Earth Hear His Voice.”
The 1974 International Congress on World Evangelization,
with
2,700 ministers and missionaries attending, opened with a multimedia
production, “Let the Earth Hear His Voice.”
“LCWE issued a call in 1977 for the
Consultation on World Evangelization (COWE) under the theme,
‘How
Shall They Hear?’”
In 1980, the
Lausanne Committee Chairman, Gottfried Osei-Mensah, gave an
address titled, “The
God Who Speaks”
at the Consultation of World Evangelization in Pattaya,
Thailand. An audio-visual production,
“That
Everyone May Hear,”
focused on evangelizing unreached people groups. A Latin
American Christian musical was titled,
“That
the World Hears the Voice of God.”
Is God still speaking to
mankind or does the Bible contain the whole counsel of God? (Acts
20:27; 2 Tim. 3:16) The book of Hebrews begins “God
who at sundry times and in
divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by
the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by
his Son.”
“And the Word was
made flesh and dwelt among us.” God has already
spoken to mankind--by His Son in His written Word--the good news,
that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Since God hath already spoken,
the theme of Lausanne should have been “Let The
Earth Hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ” through “them that preach
the gospel”—not by hearing God’s voice:
“How
then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they
have not heard? and how shall they hear without a
preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be
sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things!”
Rom. 10:14-15
“And
he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he
that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:16
The
Lausanne Committee further modified the gospel of Jesus
Christ by requiring members
to sign the
Lausanne Covenant which
obligated them to preach and to practice the Social
Gospel—“that evangelism and
socio-political involvement are both part of our
Christian duty.” The following article of the Lausanne
Covenant added a cultural mandate to evangelism.
5. CHRISTIAN SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY
“We
affirm that God is both the Creator and the Judge of all
men. We therefore should share his concern for justice
and reconciliation throughout human society and for the
liberation of men and women from every kind of
oppression. Because men and women are made in the image
of God, every person, regardless of race, religion,
colour, culture, class, sex or age, has an intrinsic
dignity because of which he or she should be respected
lueoth for our neglect and for having sometimes regarded
evangelism and social concern as mutually exclusive.
Although reconciliation with other people is not
reconciliation with God, nor is social action
evangelism, nor is political liberation salvation,
nevertheless we affirm that evangelism and
socio-political involvement are both part of our
Christian duty.”
According to the Lausanne
Covenant, to “preach
the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved” is not the Great
Commission. According to Lausanne, Evangelism + “Socio-Political
Involvement” = “Wholeness of the Gospel.”
“The new International [LCWE] Director, Tom Houston,
went so far as to say, ‘The Lausanne Covenant is a
precious gift from God with its Biblical emphasis not
only on the primacy of evangelism but to the wholeness
of the gospel. We need continually to use it as a basis
on which to promote cooperation and health in
evangelization…’
“What must be remembered, however, is that it is the
ecumenical, unbiblical concept of the ‘wholeness of the
gospel’ that makes the Lausanne Covenant a springboard
for all sorts of strange things - social action,
feminist theology, ecumenism, charismatic confusion,
compromised fellowships, unbalanced missions programs.
All can find their supposed justification by quoting
some portion of the Covenant....” [source: Fundamental
Evangelistic Association, Lausanne II in Manila]
The Lausanne Congress brought
“another
gospel”
into the Church to replace the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All
who have signed the Lausanne Covenant are bound by a
contract to preach another gospel.
“But
I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that
cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not
preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which
ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have
not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”
2 Cor.
11:3-4
Long before the first
Lausanne Congress convened in 1974 under the leadership
of Billy Graham, the global mission master-plan was
conceived and mapped out. The Lausanne movement actually
began in the 1930s in the Forest Home Christian Conference
Center of Henrietta Mears and was developed at Fuller
Theological Seminary. However, the global missions and
prayer movement began long before, in 1846, with the Evangelical Alliance
which was founded in the United Grand Lodge
of England at Freemason Hall, London. The Masonic Evangelical
Alliance is the parent organization of the World Evangelical Fellowship,
now renamed the World Evangelical Alliance, which serves the United Nations agenda as a non-governmental
organization (NGO) in Special Consultative Status with UN Economic and
Social Council (ECOSOC).” (United Nations NGO Database)
Henrietta Mears’
Forest Home Conference Center in San Bernardino, CA was the training ground for
the
group of “accepted
anointed evangelists”
who launched the Lausanne Movement. “Accepted” is a Masonic
title for the Speculative form of modern Freemasonry which
is veiled by ancient pagan symbols, mythologies and rituals.
Speculative Masons are initiated in secret rituals which
confer occult illumination that empowers them to effect
social change.
“Speculative
Freemasonry, also known as ‘Accepted Masonry’,
‘The Craft’,
or simply ‘Masonry’,
is a fraternal institution that seeks to provide its
members with opportunities to improve their lives
through the following means: the practice of esoteric
initiatory rituals; the study of Masonic symbols,
allegories and myths. It is called speculative to
distinguish it from operative masonry, the trade of
working with brick, stone and mortar. The word
speculative emphasizes the symbolic and allegorical
nature of Masonry, the fact that its rituals, emblems
and myth must be subjected to interpretation in order to
reveal their deeper meanings. While certain moral
interpretations are offered in Masonic rituals, those
same rituals admonish Masons to continually seek
further illumination.
“The history of Masonry
is ancient, both in its myth and actual history. The
primary myth and symbolism of Masonry is based upon the
building of King Solomon’s Temple, though in some rites
there are also references to ancient Egypt, Greece and
Rome. In all cases, the ancient arts and sciences of
building are viewed as allegorical instructions for
moral and social evolution. Furthermore, these arts
and sciences are considered reflections of the designs
and handiwork of the Creator, which Masons refer to as
the Grand Architect of the Universe (G.A.O.T.U.).
Therefore, many Masons find their symbols, allegories
and myth to be philosophically, psychologically and
spiritually revelatory.” (Zen
Masonry)
Among the “accepted
anointed evangelists”
who were trained at Forest Home
were 33° Freemason
Billy Graham, who would be the Honorary Chairman of Lausanne,
and two future Lausanne Committee members, Bill Bright, and his
future wife, Vonette Zachary.
“Dr.
William Rohl Bright (1921-2003) - CNP Board of Governors
(1982). Formerly fancy foods salesman. For 11 years,
Bill and Vonette Bright were groomed for leadership and
trained in ecumenical doctrine living in the home of
Henrietta Mears, who with Charles Fuller, Harold
Ockenga, J. Edwin Orr of Oxford University and Armand
Gesswein worked together to establish ecumenical campus
movements. Bright became the President and Founder of Campus Crusade for
Christ.” (CNP
Database)
“...in
1948... [Vonette Zachary] attended a conference with her
fiancé Bill Bright at Forest Home Christian Conference
Center, where she prayed to receive Christ under the
spiritual direction of Henrietta Mears. That same year,
she and Bill were married on December 30, 1948. In 1951,
the couple moved into the Bel-Air home of Mears and from
there launched Campus Crusade for Christ until their
move to their new headquarters at Arrowhead Springs ten
years later. Bright was known for her prayer rallies,
her work as the chair of the National Day of Prayer task
force that helped establish a fixed day for the event
under Ronald Reagan, and as a chairperson (and one of
the three women on the committee) on the Lausanne
Committee for World Evangelization.” (Wikipedia)

Filling the Blanks with Fuller
According to the account
given by Henrietta Mears in her book Dream Big, the
accepted anointed evangelists heard ‘God’s voice’
before the fire fell from heaven
with a very real vision:
“As they knelt
together, they were overcome by a sense of helplessness
and inadequacy. They prayed on into the late hours of
the night with much weeping and crying out to the Lord,
confessing sin, asking God for guidance and seeking the
reality and power of the Holy Spirit. At times no one
prayed as God spoke to them.
“Then,
the fire from heaven fell, for God answered their
prayer with a very real vision. Before them, they
saw the college campuses of the world, teeming with
unsaved students who held in their hands the power to
change the world. Yes, the college campuses-they were
the key to world leadership, to world revival.”
(p. 281)
Bill Bright was a member of the ICOWE
Executive Committee from 1972-74 and a frequent speaker at
Lausanne conferences; Vonette Bright was a member of the Lausanne
Committee.
“In
1974, Vonette was asked by asked
by Billy Graham to
be one of three women with 50 male Christian leaders to form
a continuation committee called the Lausanne Committee for
World Evangelization. “This was a great thrill for me,”
Vonette said, “and I was appointed to the Prayer Advisory
Group.”
Vonette Bright
served as Chair of the
Intercession Working Group from 1881 to 1990 and Chair of the
International Prayer Assembly for World Evangelization,
Seoul, Korea in 1994. (Lausanne
Committee on World Evangelization)
An
important
delegate to the Lausanne Congress in 1975 was
Edward E. McAteer, a Southern Baptist marketing director for Colgate
Palmolive. Ed McAteer went on to found the Religious Roundtable in 1979, whose
board of directors and
early membership founded
the
Council for National Policy in 1981.
McAteer’s
Religious Roundtable
brought together the top leadership of the Religious Right
and organizations such as Bill Bright’s
Campus Crusade for Christ, Pat Robertson’s
Christian Broadcasting
Network, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Jerry
Falwell’s Moral
Majority, Christian Voice,
the National Religious Broadcasters,
the National Association of Evangelicals, Gideon Bible,
Wycliffe Bible Associates, and Intercessors for America.
The Council for National Policy was alleged to be founded by Tim LaHaye, a member of
McAteer’s
Religious Roundtable, with funding from Texas oil
billionaire, Nelson Bunker Hunt who also funded the
Religious Roundtable and John Birch Society. Tim LaHaye was the first president
of the CNP, and Ed McAteer was on the Board of Governors in
1982 with Nelson Bunker Hunt who was the third CNP president from
1983-84. Bunker Hunt was also among several
principals of the Western Goals Foundation, the domestic
surveillance arm of the John Birch Society.
Ed McAteer was the driving force in
building the ‘Religious
Right’ coalition
which formed the Council for National Policy.
“McAteer
signed Falwell, Robertson, Robison, Stanley and Kennedy as
his
‘big
five’
directors.”
(Jimmy Carter, the Politics of Family, and the Rise of
the Religious Right, p. 230)
Ed McAteer was also a dedicated Zionist.
WorldNet Daily owner
and CNP member
“Joseph
Farah said
that he had never
‘met
a more fervent and zealous friend of Israel than Ed McAteer
– and that includes all of my Jewish acquaintances.”
“Jerry Falwell, three years before his own death, was
quoted by the Memphis Commercial-Appeal as having
said, ‘Ed, more than anyone else, is responsible for the
emergence of the Religious Right in America. ...
He encouraged me to use my pulpit to speak out on moral
and social issues, and I loved and revered him.’
“Falwell,
who worked with McAteer and others in the organization
of the former Moral Majority, once said that what ‘the
press today calls the ‘religious right’ was really
McAteer’s dream.’ McAteer was particularly known too as
a defender of the nation of Israel.
“Andy
Groveman, president of the Memphis Jewish Federation,
described McAteer as
‘a
close friend to the Memphis Jewish community, and his
love and loyalty for the state of Israel is unequaled.’
Each year, McAteer organized the
‘International
Christian Prayer Breakfast in Honor of Israel,’
held in Memphis...
“Richard Land, then president of the Southern Baptist
Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said of McAteer
in a statement to The Baptist Press: ‘Ed had a
tremendous vision for an informed and engaged Christian
community in the life of our nation as well as
Christians’ responsibility to the state of Israel, His
boundless enthusiasm was infectious and energizing. In
more than four decades of ministry, I have known no one
more committed to our Savior.’” (Conservapedia)
Likewise, Jerry Falwell was feted as the “Father of
Christian Zionism” and recompensed by Israeli leadership for
his loyal support and mobilizing Christians to champion the
Zionist cause. CNP Governor, Gary Bauer,
who is a speaker for the
Jewish Leadership Conference, was also at
the forefront of mobilizing Christian support for Israel.
“In the 1980s, Israel’s Likud Party drew closer to the
right wing in the U.S., and Falwell was a key figure in
mobilising conservative Christian voters. In her book Spiritual
Warfare: The Politics of the Christian Right,
Sara Diamond notes that Falwell, “often through his
television broadcasts and his frequent trips to Israel,
played a key role in “dr[awing] evangelicals to pay
closer attention to Middle East politics.’
“In 1979, Israel rewarded Falwell with a private jet.
Two years later, he received Israel’s Jabotinsky Award
for his support.
“According to one press account,
‘Jewish-evangelical
relations had become so close by the early ’80s that,
immediately after Israel bombed Iraq’s nuclear reactor
in 1981, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin
telephoned Moral Majority leader Rev. Jerry Falwell
before calling President Ronald Reagan to ask Falwell to
‘explain to the Christian public the reasons for
the bombing’.’
“Falwell also served on the board of advisors of the
American Alliance of Jews and Christians, an
organisation founded by Rabbi Daniel Lapin, the
president of the conservative Jewish organisation Toward
Tradition, and Christian conservative evangelical Gary
Bauer, founder of American Values.
“This past September, Falwell’s church hosted Christians
United for Israel’s (CUFI) Pastor John Hagee, who
accused Iran of being behind the summer war between
Hezbollah and Israel.
‘They
gave Syria 14,000 missiles and 100 million dollars,’
he claimed.
‘Those
missiles were given to Hezbollah.’
Falwell served on the Board of CUFI.’”
(Electronic
Intifada)
Falwell was also honored
with a gold medal for mobilizing the Moral Majority support
for the Zionist takeover of
the Middle East.
“At Mr. Begin's initiative, Mr. Falwell was honored a
year ago at a New York dinner to mark the 100th
anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Jabotinsky, a
militant Zionist leader and mentor of the Prime
Minister. The Moral Majority leader was among those
presented with a medal for his support of Israel.”
In 2003, McAteer was Chairman
of a campaign to influence the Bush administration to aid
Israel in taking the land of Palestine. The One-State
Solution Campaign was sponsored by a Jewish organization,
Americans for a Safe Israel, and the Committee for a
One-State Solution was comprised of CNP Board of Governors
members Gary Bauer and Ed McAteer of the Religious
Roundtable, a Pentecostal Pastor, Robert Upton of the
Apostolic Congress, and Herbert Zweibon of Americans for a
Safe Israel.
AMERICANS FOR A SAFE ISRAEL/AFSI
April 15, 2003
“The Religious Roundtable and the Apostolic Congress are
sponsoring a grassroots campaign in support of Israel.
Their respective leaders, Chairman Edward E. McAteer and
Executive Director Pastor Robert Upton are helping
spearhead an effort to assist Israel at this crucial
moment in history. The group leads a billboard campaign
that petitions President Bush to honor God’s
covenant with
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The campaign reflects the
growing concern within the Christian community that the
‘road
map’
for
‘peace’
- introduced by the U.S. in conjunction with the
European Union, Russia and the U.N. - will dictate the
surrender of biblical lands promised to Israel - an
affront to all believers.
“Thousands of bumper stickers have been sent out
nationwide to communities asking that Americans pray
that President Bush honor God’s covenant with Israel.
The billboard campaign delivers the same message and
quotes from scripture;
‘And
the Lord said to Jacob..
‘Unto
you will I give this land’
(Genesis 35:11-12)
“The billboards ask that people contact the White
House... and
provides the web site for the Apostolic Congress -
www.apostoliccongress.com. These billboards will be
appearing shortly in your locales as part of a national
campaign, and the bumper stickers continue to be
distributed.”
The zeal of Ed McAteer and
Jerry Falwell for Israel would certainly explain the fervent Zionism
of the Council for National Policy, although promoting the
Zionist agenda may have been a directive from the Lausanne
Committee and the real reason the CNP was created.
The
reader may wonder what interest International Freemasonry
would have in promoting the Zionist agenda of One-State
Solution and the Greater Israel land grab from the Nile to
the Euphrates? Jewish sources have revealed that
International Freemasonry is being used by International
Jewry to destroy Christianity.
The
Jewish Tribune stated in 1927, “Freemasonry
is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from
the Masonic ritual and what is left?”
In his expose, Freemasonry
and Judaism: The Secret Powers Behind Revolution,
Leon de Poncins quoted
Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, a pioneer of Reform Judaism in
America:
“At the present time Jews and freemasons are working in
collaboration throughout the whole world for the triumph
of the universal revolution. The high masonic posts are
for the most part held by Jews in various countries.
There are lodges which are exclusively Jewish such as
the notorious masonic order of B’nai
B’rith
whose headquarters is in Chicago.
“The Jewish spirit dominates masonry and imprints upon
it that anti-christian hatred the fierceness of which
would otherwise be difficult to explain. Masonry
everywhere upholds and defends Jewish interests.
“From whence does this alliance date?... Two
theories are afoot...
“That the Jews have entirely created masonry in order to
corrupt the nations of Christian civilization and to
propagate behind this veil the general revolution which
is to bring about the domination of Israel. It is simply
a tool and a means in the hands of the Jews.
“In support of this we can quote the articles of
Dr. Isaac M. Wise published in the
Israelite of America,
3rd August 1866:
“Masonry is a Jewish institution, whose history,
degrees, charges, passwords and explanations are Jewish
from beginning to end.”
(pp. 100-101)

The Council for National
Policy has been highly secretive since its unannounced and
anonymous founding in 1981. The abovementioned facts have
been gleaned from various sources in an effort to piece
together the composition and agenda of this very powerful
coalition of power elites who determine the policies and
politics of the Christian Right. In the late 1990s
this writer was able to obtain a copy of
the official Council for National Policy Membership Roster which
revealed that this well-kept secret was not a Christian organization but
a consortium of 500+ high level political, corporate, military,
globalist, Evangelical and non-Christian religious leaders.
Unbeknownst to conservative American Christians,
non-Christian, and in most cases anti-Christian, leaders in business, government and religion (Peter
Drucker and Rick Warren’s 3-legged stool), were, and still are, creating
the policies of the Christian Right, including foreign policy. From
behind the scenes, these
anti-Christian elites are directing the conservative Christian movement, as well as funding and directing a vast array of
organizations and programs that are Christian in name only.
The original CNP membership roster
contained detailed member profiles which provided solid evidence that
prominent Evangelical leaders had betrayed the Christian Church into the
hands of the Leftist globalist elites, political power brokers,
corporate funders, intelligence agencies, Roman Catholic Church,
Jesuits, Freemasons, Knights of Malta, former Nazis, Ku Klux Klan and
cults such as Scientology, Opus Dei and the Unification Church of Sun
Myung Moon who, with our Evangelical traitors, were plotting and
implementing anti-Christian policies and programs which they forced on
the Christian community with no information as to their non-Christian
source.
Conservative organizations represented
in the older CNP membership roster (1998-1999) included the Heritage
Foundation, Family Research Council, American Family Association,
Christian Coalition, Campus Crusade, John Birch Society, Alliance
Defense Fund, National Religious Broadcasters, Salem Communications,
Bott Radio Network, Christian Broadcasting Network, Accuracy in Media,
Leadership Institute, Templeton Foundation, Focus on the Family, Young
Life, Navigators, Home School Legal Defense Association, American Center
for Law and Justice, Hudson Institute, The Conservative Caucus, National
Right to Life, and many other Christian Right organizations which, upon
inspection, were neither Christian nor conservative but non-Christian
organizations with an anti-Christian agenda. These pseudo-Christian
organizations have been collaborating with Leftist organizations such as
the CFR for the past 40 years, and because official CNP membership
rosters have been safeguarded from public scrutiny—especially
the Christian community which they control, deceive and exploit—the
current membership remains a mystery.
Many prominent Evangelical leaders were
listed the 1999 CNP Membership Roster intermingled with many prominent
globalists. There was even a “Rothschild” in the 1999 directory who was
a Governor of the CNP in 1982, the year it was founded. There is a redacted
2014 CNP Membership Directory,
in which many founding but deceased members are listed “In
Memoriam” but with no profiles provided. Among these deceased CNP
founding members and officers are CFR members, Ed McAteer
(Lausanne), J. Peter Grace (US Pres.,
Knights of Malta), Jesse Helms (US Senator) and Robert Stoddard of the
John Birch Society, also a CFR front. Missing from the 2014 In Memoriam
listing but documented on the 1999 roster are founding 1982 CNP Board of
Governors and CFR members with information on their other connections:
William E. Simon (Knights of Malta), George F. Gilder
(Rockefeller-funded Manhattan Institute), Dr. Edward Teller (Manhattan
Project), and Guy Vander Jagt (Sun Myung Moon).
Very little
is presently known about the CNP as membership directories
are never published. The official
Council for National Policy
website
boasts that it has a membership of “A Few Hundred of the Most Powerful
Conservatives in the Country” who are the “Key Movers and Shakers of the
Conservative Movement” with a “Vigorous Voice to influence Policy and
Elite Opinion,” yet there is no factual information about the organization
or its membership or member organizations presented on their website.
CNP members only are permitted to log onto the website of this
clandestine organization which determines the policies for the Christian
Right in their secret meetings, the minutes of which are not made
public.
The
2014 CNP Membership Directory
contains sparse information on the
members listed. This redacted directory is found at the Southern Poverty
Law Center website where Christians would never think to look, which
explains why only those who research the CNP history and membership
realize that trusted Evangelical leaders who have a reputation as
conservatives in fact conspire with CFR globalists in the secretive
Council for National Policy.
Found in the 2014 redacted directory
is a familiar name, Father Robert Sirico, the former radical Marxist
homosexual activist priest whose Vatican/Jesuit affiliated Acton
Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty is stealthily
introducing the LGBTQ Curriculum into Christian colleges and seminaries.
Also a member of the CNP and its Board of Governors is John Marx
Templeton, Jr. whose Templeton Foundation funds the Acton programs and
other initiatives to liberalize Christianity by merging religion and
government (Liberation Theology, Marxism, Social Justice); merging
Christianity with world religions (Templeton Prize for Progress in
Religion, control of Apologetics), merging Christianity and science
through accrediting organizations (Council for Christian Colleges &
Universities / CCCU). Partnering with the CCCU is the World Journalism
Institute of Marvin Olasky, a former Marxist. Templeton is also funding
the New City Catechism of The Gospel Coalition and Tim Keller,
another former Marxist.
Past CNP President, 33ş Mason Richard
DeVos, president of the Amway Corporation, served as a judge for the Templeton
Prize for Progress in Religion. Other CNP Board of Governors
members who served as Templeton Prize judges were William E. Simon, a
member of the Knights of Malta who was Secretary of the Treasury under
Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, and J. Peter Grace who was President of
the Knights of Malta in the U.S. and director of Project Paperclip, the
post-World War II CIA arrangement to remove classified information from
dossiers of Nazi war criminals so that former SS members and 900+ Nazi
scientists could emigrate to the U.S.
Also found in the 2014 CNP Member
Directory are father and son, Richard and Rich Bott, of Bott Radio
Network, which sponsored the God’s Voice Conference, are Governors of
the CNP and Rich Bott is on the Executive Committee, Also
found in the 2014 Member Directory is Paul Blair,
pastor of the Fairview Baptist Church which hosted the God’s Voice
Conference:
Pastor Blair is on the
Board of Directors of Bott Radio in Oklahoma. Blair is also
President of
Reclaiming America for
Christ which is the organization
founded
by the late D. James Kennedy, who was also a member and Governor of the
Council for National Policy. (See: D. James Kennedy’s promotion of
astrology: The
False Gospel in the Stars.)
Paul Blair has other CNP connections
such as the John Birch Society and the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) which he has worked with
and recommends on the sidebar of the Reclaiming America homepage. Paul
Blair’s Fairview Baptist Church also supports the Alliance Defending Freedom as
a missions
organization. The Alliance Defending Freedom was originally the
Alliance Defense Fund, but the name was changed in 2012. The Alliance
Defense Fund was started by CNP members, Alan Sears, James Dobson, Larry
Burkett, Bill Bright and D. James Kennedy. The current President/CEO is
Michael Farris, also CNP. The ADF has now branched into
ADF International,
with headquarters in Vienna, Austria and works with the global network
of Leftist human rights orgs: the United Nations, Organization of
American States, Inter-American Commission on Human Rights,
Inter-American Court of Human Rights, Council of Europe, Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe, European Court of Human Rights,
European Union and the Fundamental Rights Agency. ADF
International is “accredited by the UN Economic and Social
Council (ECOSOC).” The Alliance Defending Freedom is an
NGO of the United Nations.
The well-concealed truth is that Paul
Blair, whose Baptist church hosted the God’s Voice Conference, is not a
simple pastor of a local church, but a major player collaborating behind
the scenes with powerful elites such as John Marx Templeton Jr., Father
Robert Sirico of Acton Institute, the Alliance Defense Fund and a host
of other major players in the CNP who are strategizing to draw
Christians into the New World Order and Religion.
To my knowledge Janet
Mefferd has never mentioned on her radio program the very
powerful, albeit hidden, Council for National Policy of
which her boss, Rich Bott and his father, Richard Bott, the
founder of Bott Radio Network, are members and serve on the
CNP Board of Governors and Executive Committee. Nor have
Janet’s guests who are CNP members or affiliated with CNP
member organizations mentioned this secretive organization
with its anonymous membership when interviewed on her
program. Among the CNP members who have been guests on Janet
Mefferd Today or Janet Mefferd Live are Ryan Anderson,
Joseph Farah, James Dobson, Michael Farris, Richard Land,
Paige Patterson, James O’Keefe, Tom Minnery, Penny Nance,
Tony Perkins, Everett Piper, Austin Ruse, Jay Sekulow, Matt
Staver, John Stemberger and Joni
Eareckson
Tada.
Is Janet Mefferd also a member
of the Council for National Policy? Is she a covenanted member of
Lausanne?
If not, will she expose these anti-Christian
organizations on her radio programs?
One prominent leader of the Religious
Right who has been a guest more than once on Janet Mefferd Today is
Ryan T. Anderson,
Heritage Foundation William E. Simon Senior Fellow, and a Roman Catholic
member of the Council for National Policy. (William E. Simon was a
Trustee of the Heritage Foundation, a member of the CFR and a founding
member of the CNP; he was also a Knight of Malta, Treasury Secretary in
two administrations, and Chairman of the Nicaraguan Freedom Fund (NFF),
a fundraising organization set up in l985 by the Washington Times, which
is owned by the Unification Church.)
Like the late William E. Simon, Ryan
Anderson and the Heritage Foundation pose as conservatives as they
conspire with the radical Left to advance the Marxist agenda. In 2017,
Anderson was collaborating with the Revoice founder and president, Nate
Collins, who in turn promoted Anderson’s book, When Harry Became
Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment. Particulars of this
unholy alliance were disclosed in an article,
“The
Stain of Revoice: Is Heritage Foundation Also Revoiced?” dated
August 2018, by Thomas Littleton.
FRESH REVELATIONS: HERITAGE FOUNDATION
AND MULTIPLE ERLC TIES TO REVOICE.
WHY ARE OUR “CONSERVATIVE”
INSTITUTIONS CONDONING LGBT CHRISTIANITY?
“As the storm of protest was gathering
against Revoice’s radical new language and mission in the Church, by
late June the Christian tabloid, Christianity Today, was attempting to
mainstream the founder of Revoice by publishing Collin’s article, ‘What
Transgender People Need from the Church.’ The article reviews
and promotes two books on Transgenderism, one authored by Heritage
Fellow, Ryan T. Anderson, and another by SBCs ERLC staffer and clone of
Russell Moore, Andrew Walker. Collins’ review promotes both books as ‘go
to’ sources for this ‘compelling’ issue for the Church. Christianity
Today subsequently sent out its heavy hitter, editor Mark Galli, to
cover the Revoice controversy in an
interview with Collins the day before the conference began – yet
another attempt to mainstream the conference.
Ryan T. Anderson and Revoice Founder
Collins Conference Panel Appearance
“Curious to find the depth of the ties
between a Heritage Foundation William E. Simon Senior Fellow,
Ryan Anderson,
and Revoice founder, Nate Collins, one needed look no further than
Collins’ Curriculum Vitae at SBTS. According to Collins’ CV, at
the same time Revoice was being organized in St Louis and incubated at
SBTS and Covenant Seminaries, Ryan T. Anderson and Collins, along with
Revoice speaker Laurie Krieg, and Revoice mentor and luminary Preston
Sprinkle, were presenting together in the Q Ideas Forum of progressive
evangelical and Tim Keller ‘Good Faith’ pal, Gabe Lyons. According to
Collins, the presentation was a panel discussion hosted by Sprinkle and
covered ‘LGBT issues.’
“How much influence is the radical
‘LGBT+ Christianity’ Revoice message having on the Heritage Foundation,
Public Discourse, Witherspoon Institute and other publications and
venues where Anderson is respected? Is Ryan Anderson’s mentor, Robert P.
George, also buying into the Revoice message? Given the exposure by the
LGBT press of the close proximity of Anderson to billionaire
‘Paul Singer, a Republican mega-donor who’s supported GOP presidential
candidates and LGBT rights causes,’ the revelations of subsequent LGBT
associations of Ryan Anderson with Nate Collins in the timeframe of
planning the Revoice Conference give rise to disturbing and lingering
questions.”
NOTE: Nate Collins has, since
this article, revised
his Curriculum Vitae so the linked CV above does not include the Q Ideas
Panel Discussion with Ryan T. Anderson, Laurie Krieg and Preston
Sprinkle. Collins’ original CV is
available here.
Nate Collins’ article in Christianity
Today, “What Transgender People Need from Conservative Christians,”
favorably reviewed Ryan Anderson’s book because it “did not rely on
Christian beliefs or doctrine” but on “natural law” which is “popular in
Roman Catholic circles”:
“Ryan Anderson’s When Harry Became
Sally is a very different kind of book. While God and the
Transgender Debate is primarily directed toward the average evangelical
Christian and has a specific pastoral goal in mind, When Harry Became
Sally rarely appeals to any explicitly Christian beliefs or doctrine.
(Anderson’s “natural law” approach is popular in Roman Catholic circles,
but it might seem foreign to evangelical readers who are used to seeing
references to Scripture in discussions on theology and ethics.)
“When Harry Became Sally is
also far more wide-ranging in its subject matter. Anderson states that
his book is ‘an effort to provide a nuanced view of our sexed
embodiment, a balanced approach to policy issues involving transgender
identity and gender more broadly, and a sober and honest survey of the
human costs of getting human nature wrong.” And in general, I believe
that he has succeeded. Anderson weaves discussions about gender and
embodiment in and throughout many sections of the book, and he brings
solid theological truth to bear in striking a balance between
‘essentialist’ and ‘constructionist’ accounts of gender identity. His
arguments about public policy are rigorous and versatile. And he draws
attention to the kinds of tragedies that can result when society loses
its respect for the created constraints of human nature...
“The arguments in When Harry Became
Sally are heavily documented in 28 pages of endnotes. Among his
sources are newspaper articles; legal documents (including the text of
actual laws); academic journal articles from the fields of psychology,
public policy, gender theory, and theology; official documents from
court proceedings; articles on popular websites like The Atlantic
and National Geographic; and classic feminist texts (such as
Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, Judith Butler’s Gender
Trouble, and Kate Millet’s Sexual Politics), among many
others.”
After Ryan Anderson’s duplicity was
exposed, Janet Mefferd had no choice but to distance herself from her
esteemed guest. Her short-lived and hardly adequate protest was tweeted
in June of 2018, but then mysteriously vanished. Here is a screenshot of
the cached tweet:
On February 20, 2018, prior to the
Revoice conference but after Ryan Anderson’s participation on the 2017 Q
Ideas Panel with the Revoice speakers, the Heritage Research Fellow
criticized and piously feigned opposition to
Transgender Rights on Janet Mefferd Today.
In a July 2018 article on
Revoice posted on Janet
Mefferd’s blog, Ryan Anderson’s name was only mentioned with no details.
Missing was the account of his deception of the conservative Christian
community which Janet purports to inform. (Beyond
Friendship: LGBT Issues and the Next Stage of Discernment)
The Ryan Anderson / Revoice affair
demonstrates how the Council for National Policy works both sides of the
dialectical conflict it has created and fueled—advocating,
funding and agitating both sides of every issue – conservatives and
liberals – to argue and attack each other instead of exposing the power
elites who are exploiting both sides to advance their globalist agenda.
Divide and conquer is the strategy and modus operandi of the CNP and CFR
and few people, including Christians, are immune to the dialectical
process. It is important to note that the Council for National Policy
and Council on Foreign Relations are, above all, fronts for Zionism. The
fact that Zionism is the only issue which conservatives and liberals agree upon
should enlighten Christians as to the true nature of the globalist
conspiracy. To learn the Zionist plan for Christians, read: “The
Jerusalem Sanhedrin Prepares to Enforce the Noahide Laws.”
The God’s Voice Conference was a total
CNP production, hosted by Paul Blair, a CNP member and sponsored by
Richard Bott (CNP) and Rich Bott (CNP) of Bott Radio Network, a member
organization of the Council for National Policy.
Richard
Bott, founder of Bott Radio and a Governor of the CNP was
also
a member of Lausanne delegate Ed McAteer’s Religious
Roundtable Council.
Don Wildmon, who was on the original CNP Board of Governors,
founded
the American Family
Association, which owns American Family Radio. AFA
is a partner of the
Lausanne US Committee, called The Table Coalition, which
was formerly the Mission America Coalition.
Janet Mefferd's employers are bound by the Lausanne Covenant
which requires them to
affirm the Social Gospel, “that evangelism and
socio-political involvement are both part of our Christian
duty.” It will be seen in the next section, that Lausanne
also expects member organizations to dialogue with false
religions for the purpose of legitimizing them based on
common ground, or mainstreaming them as Christian religions.
The prominent Evangelical
leaders who sponsor Janet Mefferd were the movers and
shakers of the Christian Right twenty to forty years ago.
They successfully mobilized the “Moral Majority” of
conservative Christians to create the massive political
movement of our day which is serving, not the Lord Jesus
Christ, but the anti-Christian political and religious
agenda of the Zionists. Our
research on the origins and early membership of the
CNP is available at these links: The Council for National Policy,
CNP Member Database and
The John Birch Society.
It will be seen in this
report that the God’s Voice Conference was a counterfeit opposition operation,
masterminded by the Lausanne-directed Council for National Policy to
control and neutralize Christian opposition to the LGBT
invasion of the Church. The Marxist dictator, Vladimir
Lenin, revealed the tactic of these powerful globalist
organizations – to control
both right and left – which worked well to defeat the opponents of
Communism:
“The
best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE & LAUSANNE
CONTROL
OF EX-GAY FIRST STONE MINISTRIES
Working with Janet Mefferd as
coordinator and speaker at the God’s Voice Conference was Stephen Black,
a former homosexual who is now heterosexual, married to a woman and
together they have children and grandchildren. Stephen is the Director
of First Stone Ministries which ministers to homosexuals and people with
other addictive and dysfunctional behaviors. First Stone was founded in
1976 as Fishers of Men Evangelistic Corporation and the name and mission
was changed to First Stone Ministries in 1981.
According to Stephen Black’s book,
Freedom Realized, First Stone was one of the founders of
Exodus International, an umbrella organization formed in 1976 for
organizations helping homosexuals exit the gay death style.
“First Stone Ministries
was one of the founding ministries of Exodus in 1976. In
2008, I was nominated to serve on the Ministry Council
by Alan Chambers... I became the Chairman of the
Ministry Council in December of 2010.” (Kindle, 154)
According to
Wikipedia,
True Freedom Trust, an ex-gay organization in the UK, also co-founded
Exodus in 1976.
“TFT was a founding member of
Exodus
International, the international arm of the world’s largest
ex-gay organization, but resigned its membership in 2000 because of
Exodus’s rhetoric, which they believed tended to “set people up for
disillusionment’ by promising change of orientation. TFT does not
generally encourage gay Christians to expect to be healed of their
orientation, although it says that change is possible. Therefore,
although because of its historical affiliations and its stance against
homosexual behavior, it is often considered to be a part of the ex-gay
movement, but this is actually not the case.”
True Freedom Trust is recommended by
the Living Out
organization of Sam Allberry, the Gay Anglican priest from London,
England who was
invited to
the United States by Albert Mohler and
Russell Moore to promote “LGBT+ Gay Christianity” in the
Southern Baptist Convention and other Reformed
churches. The Living Out conference held in in London in June 2018 was
the UK’s version of Revoice in St. Louis later that year. True Freedom
Trust and Living Out are
members of the Evangelical Alliance, the umbrella and oversight
organization for Evangelical churches and ministries in the UK.
As stated in the previous
section, the Evangelical Alliance was
founded in 1846 in the United Grand Lodge of England in
London. The Grand Lodge of England at Freemason Hall is the mother of
all Masonic lodges, the headquarters of International Freemasonry. The
Evangelical Alliance would be renamed the World Evangelical
Fellowship (WEF) in the U.S. in 1951 and the World Evangelical Alliance
(WEA) in 2001. The UK, however, still retains the name Evangelical
Alliance. David, M. Howard, who was International Director of the
Evangelical Alliance from 1982-1991, wrote about the founding of the
Evangelical Alliance in The Dream That Would Not Die: The birth and
growth of the World Evangelical Fellowship:
“It was an impressive sight. 800
Christians, who had gathered in Freemason’s Hall, Great Queen Street,
London, in August, 1846, were standing to shake hands and sing the
Doxology. They had just voted to establish what has been called ‘a new
thing in Church history—a definite organization for the expression of
unity amongst Christian individuals belonging to different churches…
They called it ‘The Evangelical Alliance…’”
W. Harold Fuller, who was
vice-chair of the World Evangelical Fellowship International
Council, was the author of the article, “From the
Evangelical Alliance to the World Evangelical Fellowship:
150 years of unity with a mission.” This article
contains the footnote, “4. Minutes
of the Proceedings of the Conference held at Freemasons’
Hall, London,
1846.”
W. Harold Fuller also
provided other details of the history and documented the
close relationship of the Evangelical Alliance and World
Evangelical Fellowship to the 1974 Lausanne Consultation on
World Evangelism (LCWE) and the A.D. 2000 and Beyond
Movement:
“As John Stott has
stated, ‘The
story of the World Evangelical Fellowship, with its
roots in the Evangelical Alliance (which is more than
one hundred years older than the World Council of
Churches), deserves to be better known.’ Billy
Graham adds, ‘WEF
has been a major force in uniting evangelicals
throughout the world.’ (1) The evangelical
movement, highlighted by the 150th-anniversary
celebrations of Britain’s
Evangelical Alliance in November 1996, makes a
fascinating study in missiology.
Its growth has been fueled by its core characteristic -
the evangel, the preaching of the Gospel worldwide. WEF
itself is, in a sense, the bottom line of mission:
churches planted as a result of mission, forming a
fellowship to help each other disciple the nations.
“In 1843 a meeting
in Scotland commemorating
the 200th anniversary of the Westminster Assembly issued
a plea for closer unity. The same year, Presbyterian
William Patton of New York wrote to British
Congregationalist John Angell James,
recommending an interchurch conference to outline the
truths on which churches agreed.(3) A series of
discussions and prayer gatherings led to a General
Conference held in London August 19 to September 2,
1846. Eight hundred leaders from fifty-two
‘bodies of
Christians’
in eight nations decided to form a confederation under
the name ‘The
Evangelical Alliance.’
The delegates agreed upon a doctrinal statement of basic
evangelical views. They pointed out that they were not
forming ‘a
new ecclesiastical organization’
but expressing the spiritual unity that already existed
‘among
all who, loving the Lord Jesus Christ, are bound to love
one another.’ (4) [4. Minutes of the
Proceedings of the Conference held at Freemasons’ Hall, London,
1846.]…
“In 1951 at Woudschoten, Netherlands,
91 men and women from 21 countries met as the
International Convention of Evangelicals. They voted to
establish the World Evangelical Fellowship. (8) Two
Anglican theologians, A. Jack Dain and John
R. W. Stott, (9) provided a biblical outline of the
threefold purpose of WEF…
“9. John Stott
later drafted the historic Lausanne Covenant,
1974.”

Having been founded in 1846
in the
United Grand Lodge of England, which “was dedicated
to the purposes of Freemasonry”
in 1776, the Evangelical Alliance
presently encourages member organizations to welcome sexually active
lesbians and homosexuals with the expectation that they “will come in
due course to see the need to be transformed.” Same-Sex Attracted (SSA)
persons should be allowed to hold membership and leadership positions in
member churches. As a member of the Evangelical Alliance, True Freedom
Trust which co-founded Exodus International with First Stone Ministries, agrees with these positions:
“TFT is a member of the
Evangelical Alliance and we hold
to their statement of faith. Our beliefs align with the
“Affirmations” published by the Evangelical Alliance in 2012.”
AFFIRMATIONS
“7. We commend and encourage all those
who experience same-sex attraction and have committed themselves to
chastity by refraining from homoerotic sexual practice. We believe they
should be eligible for ordination and leadership within the church,
recognising that they can bring invaluable insights and experience to
the sphere of Christian pastoral ministry.
“10. We encourage evangelical
congregations to welcome and accept sexually active lesbians and gay
men. However, they should do so in the expectation that they, like all
of us who are living outside God’s purposes, will come in due course to
see the need to be transformed and live in accordance with biblical
revelation and orthodox church teaching. We urge gentleness, patience
and ongoing pastoral care during this process and after a person
renounces same-sex sexual relations.”
Among
Other Organizations recommended by True Freedom Trust is the
Restored Hope Network.
“The organisations below
hold
similar values to True Freedom Trust. They are grouped
according to where they are based.
Evangelical Alliance / UGLE
“The Evangelical Alliance is the
largest and oldest body representing the UK’s two million evangelical
Christians”
Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics
/ EA member
“Sam Allberry is a global speaker and
apologist for RZIM based at the Zacharias Trust in Oxford. Sam is also
an editor for The Gospel Coalition, a Guest Lecturer at the Oxford
Centre for Christian Apologetics and a founding editor of
LivingOut.org.”
Living Out / Sam Allberry /
EA member
“Living Out is a ministry showing how
Christians in the UK with same-sex attractions are living biblically
obedient and satisfying lives.
Restored Hope Network
/ Andrew Comiskey, Stephen Black
“Restored Hope is an
inter-denominational membership governed network dedicated to restoring
hope to those broken by sexual and relational sin.”
Exodus International was closed in 2013
by its President, Alan Chambers, who decided that homosexuals cannot
change. However, another agenda —“Gay rights” — may have influenced
Chambers and the Board of Exodus.
“Chambers stated that his next ministry
would be different: ‘Our goals are to reduce fear and come alongside
churches to become safe, welcoming and mutually transforming
communities.’ Board member Tony Moore issued a statement that clarified
that the decision is ‘not negating the ways God used Exodus to
positively affect thousands of people,’ further explaining that ‘a new
generation of Christians is looking for change—and they want it to be
heard.’” (Exodus
International)
Following the demise of Exodus
International, Stephen Black and First Stone Ministries were among the
founders of Restored Hope Network:
“First Stone Ministries has been a
member of the Restored Hope Network as one of the founding ministries
since 2013. Stephen Black, Executive Director of First Stone Ministries
is one of the founders of the Restored Hope Network and currently serves
as the Vice-Chairman on the board of directors.” (About
First Stone)
“The Restored Hope Network came about
quickly. We were organized as a 501c3 within months. This was truly
miraculous given the hostile environment of the Obama administration.
The first board of directors was voted on by all who attended the first
gathering for the Restored Hope Network—about sixty ministry leaders—in
Sacramento, California in September 2012. I have been so blessed to be a
part of this amazing group of people.” (Freedom Realized,
Kindle 253)
Stephen Black was Chairman
of the RHN Board of Directors until recently and is now a member of
the Advisory Council. Another member of the Advisory Council,
Michael Newman, is on the Board of Exodus Global Alliance which was
formed out of Exodus International in 2004 as a global network for
“ex-gay” organizations and ministries. Exodus Global is affiliated with
the ecumenical, interfaith
Lausanne Consultation for World
Evangelization.
The Restored Hope Network Board of
Reference is also ecumenical, comprised of Roman Catholics including a
priest; Dr. Albert Mohler and D.A. Carson, who advocates for
Gay
Christianity; James Dobson, Governor of the ecumenical/interfaith,
globalist Council for National Policy; Dr. Michael Brown, Messianic
Jewish leader and former leader of the Brownsville Revival; Steve
Berger, a Calvary Chapel pastor and author of books that promote
necromancy; Jim Garlow who heads a Bible study ministry to the US
Congress, the United Nations, a Tanakh study in the Knesset and served
on the Trump Faith Advisory Board of the White House Faith Leaders
Initiative. Also on the RHN Board of Reference is Ray Ortland, a Council
member of the liberal TGC / The Gospel Coalition; and Sam Storms, Stephen Black’s
former pastor who is affiliated with TGC and promotes Contemplative
Prayer.
Janet Mefferd speaking at Restored Hope Network’s 2017
HOPE Conference:
Also on the Board of
Reference of Restored Hope Network is Dr, Melvin Wong, a
Licensed Clinical Psychologist who is a Board member of Exodus Global
Alliance. Exodus Global is “a world-wide
Christian organization helping people affected by homosexuality.” Exodus
Global Alliance is also affiliated with Lausanne. “The
Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization asked Exodus Global
Alliance to lead a discussion on Sexuality, Truth and Grace at Cape Town
2010. The discussion considered the 155 million men and women who are
involved in homosexuality in countries around the world.” (Exodus
Global Alliance)
In 2009, Exodus International Vice
President, Mike Goeke, in collaboration with Exodus Global Alliance
submitted
four papers for the 2010 third Lausanne Congress of World
Evangelization in Cape Town South Africa. The theme of the papers was to
impugn “Christian rules, Christian regiment, and Christian tradition”
for their condemnation of homosexuality and to introduce the term
“Same-Sex
Attracted” as a viable Christian identity.
“The
earliest use of the term
‘SSA
Christian’
and ‘victim
of the church’
internal talking points for evangelicals appears to be
from the preparations of statements for the 2010 third
Lausanne Congress on World Evangelism in Cape Town South
Africa. This would place the insertion of SSA language
and the emotion packed narrative in the 2009 documents
for the lead up to Cape Town 2010. The ministry to
homosexuals is based on Lausanne’s partnership with Exodus
Global Alliance...” (Evangelical
Leaders’ New Sexual Language)
In 1980, the Lausanne
Committee sponsored the “Consultation on World
Evangelization” in Pattaya, Thailand. The purpose of this Consultation was
to develop strategies for reaching various unreached people groups. One
of those groups was called “Mystics and Cultists” and, in 1982, the
Lausanne group voted to organize a ministry known as Evangelical
Ministry to Cultists (EMTC). In 1984, the founders of EMTC voted to
change the name to Evangelical Ministries to New
Religions (EMNR), a name it has kept to the present time. EMNR
represented more than a change of name, however. Evangelical Ministries
to Cultists was changed to Evangelical Ministries to New Religions in
order to transition the global network of “cult watch” ministries from
evangelizing cults to “cult apologists” that would legitimize and mainstream
cults as “new religions.” The result was to validate mystical cults as
new religions, and false religions, such as Mormonism, as Christian
religions. Focus on the Family, a CNP organization, played a major role
in mainstreaming Mormonism—as it did in the founding and direction of
Restored Hope Network, through Executive Director, Anne Paulk, former
manager of the Homosexuality and Gender Department at Focus on the
Family.
According to EMNR,
Christians have misunderstood and misrepresented the cults
and need to listen to what cult members say about their beliefs. This, of course, would encourage reverse
evangelism—cult members persuading Christians whose critical faculties
have been neutralized by large doses of EMNR propaganda. The method
which God gave to the Church for the salvation of lost religious persons
is not dialoguing to find common ground, but has always been “the
foolishness of preaching” the gospel of “Christ and Him crucified.”

Ministries to New Religions.”
The agenda of the Lausanne Committee
on World Evangelization is identical to that of the Evangelical Alliance
and the liberal, interfaith World Council of Churches. Although the
Lausanne Movement and the Evangelical Alliance claim to be ecumenical,
both promote interfaith dialogue to find common ground and consensus
among religions.
“One of the great hallmarks of the
Lausanne Movement is its desire to transcend issues which have divided
the church and find our deeper unity in the core Gospel message. The
Lausanne Movement is simultaneously an evangelical movement as well as a
profoundly ecumenical one. As part of the ecumenical movement, Lausanne stands in the tradition of the World Evangelical Alliance and
the World Council of Churches.”
In April of 2017, a
gathering of fifty prominent but mostly anonymous liberal
Evangelicals met at Wheaton College to discuss the future of
the Evangelical movement. The meeting was convened by Doug Birdsall who was Executive Chairman of the Lausanne
Committee in 2004 and is currently Honorary Chairman of the
Lausanne Movement. The topic of the
meeting was “the
2016 election and the role that white evangelicals played in
electing Trump.” Marxist ideologue and co-founder of
The Social Gospel Coalition, Tim Keller, was a speaker who
lamented the worldliness and disunity of the Church which he
has caused in large part with his social gospel.
“As
the country has become more polarized, so has the
church, and that’s because the church is not different
enough from modernity. There’s now a red evangelicalism
and a blue evangelicalism.”

Also in attendance was
Trillia Newbell,
director of community outreach for the Social Gospel
preaching, Marxist-leaning
Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern
Baptist Convention.
The fruit of Lausanne was
the liberalization of Evangelical Christianity. This
ambitious agenda would take decades to achieve because it
required carefully manipulating Christian opposition to
theological liberalism. It was accomplished by creating a
movement—the
Moral Majority—
that would be controlled by preachers of theology,
family values and conservative politics to whom born-again
Christians would flock and loyally support while the
cultural
Marxists were pulling the rug out from under the
American family, Church and government. Behind the backs of
this ever trusting Moral Majority, the Council for National
Policy was founded by conservative-sounding but
liberal-minded Religious Right and Lausanne leaders and
members of the Marxist Council on Foreign Relations. All
parties, except the Moral Majority, had learned from the Communist Lenin,
“The
best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
Stephen Black wrote, ”Since its
founding in 1976, First Stone Ministries has been an independent
nondenominational, Christ-centered, para-church organization.”
The above documented facts reveal that
Stephen Black’s First Stone Ministries has never been an independent ministry,
having co-founded Exodus International in 1976 with True Freedom Trust, a
member of the Evangelical Alliance, with Stephen serving as Chairman of
Exodus International’s Ministry Council. First Stone Ministries also
co-founded the Restored Hope Network, of which Stephen served on the
Board of Directors and is now on the Advisory
Council of RHN. Restored Hope Network has numerous ecumenical
ties including Exodus Global Alliance and True Freedom Trust, and by
extension the Lausanne Movement and Evangelical Alliance. In stark contrast to
the stellar image Stephen Black has portrayed of First Stone Ministries
are the facts. Stephen Black and First Stone are deeply embedded in the
ecumenical, interfaith Masonic-controlled networks of the Evangelical
Alliance and the Lausanne Movement.
