Andrews University Spiritualism Course-BAN

A Trojan horse has entered the SDA Church in a big way, and its of such a nature that if something is not done to stop it, many of our innocent Leaders and upcoming Leaders, will be trained as mediums to deceive and destroy the souls of Gods people.

Brethren, the Bible clearly tells us that, The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.{Ecclesiastes 1:9}

During Sister Whites time, Dr. J.H Kellogg, was influenced deeply by the false religious excitement that was happening in the religious world. One of the theories that he embraced, was Pantheism, and even though he was warned by Mrs. White that this teaching was erroneous, he gleaned from the wisdom of a spiritualist medium, and wrote the infamous book, The Living Temple, which the Review and Herald were about to publish. Fortunately, the church was spared when this book got burnt to cinders when the publishing house was destroyed by fire, whiles the other Adventist materials to be published, were untouched.

Mrs. White called Kelloggs spiritualistic theories, the Alpha of the apostasy in the SDA Church, and trembled at the fact that it wouldnt stop there, because worse would take place in the omega rebellion.

Has it arrived? Have you heard of , Contemplative Prayer; Breath Prayer; Taize Prayer; Spiritual Formation, GODencounters and Jesus Prayer; Prayer Stations; Prayer Rooms; Prayer Labyrinth etc?

These and many other terms that are being taught by our leaders in our top institutions of learning, churches, hospitals and youth ministries are steeped in Catholic Mysticism, Pantheism, New Age, basically Spiritualism wrapped in Christian terminology. Many of our leaders (some have openly declared so) have been trained and influenced by Jesuits and various New Age teachers. This is dangerous, and destined to wipe out many in Adventism if not checked.

We have formulated this petition because on February 2011, Andrews University will be holding a course for Pastors which will include Spiritual Formation (the above terms). God requires us to do all that we can to stay the tide of evil so that our innocent members, young people and our leaders will not be swept away by this omega crisis. Please join with us in signing this petition to ban this course from being taught in Andrews. A copy of this petition with all the signatures will be presented to the General Conference President, Ted Wilson.

Thank you for your support and more importantly your prayers.
