Is there a new reformation happening in the church? It depends on who you ask. <p/> The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders, and teach that God is giving new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity? <p/> In Test the Spirits, apologists and NAR experts Holly Pivec and Doug Geivett show how the NAR's key tenets distort the gospel, twist the Scriptures, are influenced by New Age practices, and lead faithful Christians to shipwreck their faith. They also offer practical suggestions for readers who are already influenced by the NAR, who are curious about it, or who have friends or family members who have been swept up by the movement. <p/> What used to be on the fringes of the church is now mainstream, and many are being influenced by it unaware. This book is a wake-up call.
