What is "Kingdom Now Theology"? (Latter-Rain) What in the world is "dominion theology"? And is it really consistent with the Bible? 'DOMINION THEOLOGY 'Dominion theology is associated with two distinct movements. In order to give an accurate assessment of this very controversial issue, I'll need to spend a few moments discussing the elements which characterize these two movements. [Reconstructionism] 'The first of these movements is known as "Reconstructionism," which arose within Reformed (Calvinistic) Christianity...Well, no matter how controversial you may think Reconstructionists are, the fact remains that this is a perfectly acceptable orthodox movement. ["Latter-Rain"] 'The same, however, cannot be said about "Kingdom Now Theology," which represents the other movement associated with dominion theology. This movement, popularized by Earl Paulk, basically boils down to a systematic presentation of what is commonly referred to as "Latter-Rain." Central to this system is the belief that since the time of the Reformation, God has progressively restored "truths" to the church. It also includes the view that the offices of apostle and prophet remain in effect to this very day, which is why submission to spiritual leaders is so heavily emphasized. Kingdom Now Theology also subscribes to the "Manifest Sons of God" doctrine, which holds the heretical position that the church is the incarnation of God and is therefore to "take dominion" -- politically and otherwise -- before Christ can return. For these and a host of other reasons, we strongly advise Christians to steer clear of Kingdom Now Theology.' To read more go to: (www.equip.org/free/CP0606.pdf) |

I have read a little on 'theonomy' and it seems to be that oxymoronic idea of an 'optimistic Calvinist'. They have kept the legalistic approach of Calvinism, but carried it to new degrees (think 17th century Geneva) and added kind of an optimistic 'Christianity will triumph in this world' form of post-millenialism. The 'latter rain' folks I am not familiar with, but they sound like another form of accretionists, i.e. their favored 'pope' or 'prophet' can add to the special revelation of the Bible. This always seems to have appeal to people. But Paul told us that should not surprise us: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires." |
