Addressing Misconceptions about the New Apostolic Reformation

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) was coined by C. Peter Wagner in 1993 as a reference to an emerging global trend in church planting and evangelism where local Pentecostal people with little or no seminary training were establishing churches, primarily in China, Africa, and South America. After Wagner converted to Pentecostalism he began to teach on church governance and spiritual warfare by introducing unorthodox and questionable strategies. Most of the charismatic world rejected some or most of his ideas, but those who implemented them identified as NAR. But many ministries considered NAR never actually adhered to Wagner's ideas and never identified as NAR, but the label was applied to them anyway. In this livestream I'm going to address the top misconceptions about NAR and try to bring some clarity to the discussion.

I'm Rod Saunders, founder of Jew and Greek. I’m a musician, web developer, and a student of philosophy and economics. I recently published my first book on Amazon entitled Defending the Faith: Word of Faith Apologetics. It’s a response to the numerous charges against and misrepresentations of the Word of Faith movement and theology. I also have a CD of original music on CD Baby entitled Gates of Pearl. “Jew and Greek” is a good name because the two civilizations that influenced Western civilization the most were those of the Judeo-Christian and Greek worlds. From the Jews we received our values and a monotheistic theology, and from the Greeks we got philosophy which brought us science, sports, the arts, democracy, and economics. As a result I discuss all of the above in this blog and in my videos.
