Wow! Watch this video of Todd Bentley explaining ‘his idea’ regarding ‘his definition’ of the Gospel. Pay VERY close attention because his reasoning and his argument are ALMOST verbatim what Brian McLaren and the Emergents are saying about the Gospel. The similarities are down right creeeeeepy.

Todd Bentley says that “The Gospel is not mere talking it means the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. (meaning signs and wornders).

Emergents say that “The Gospel is not mere talking it means the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. (meaning bringing justice and equality to the poor and the marginalized)

But notice that neither of those definitions of the Gospel is how the Bible defines the gospel. Again, God’s Word gives a clear and concise defintion of the Gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:1:1-4

1Cor. 15:1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

1Cor. 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures

Also, the Bible is brutally clear regarding those who teach ‘another gospel’ or ‘distort the gospel’.

Gal. 1:6   I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

The similarities between Todd Bentley’s false gospel and the false gospel of the emergents are too close to be mere coincidence. We bet they got their gospels from the same spirit and it wasn’t the Holy Spirit.
