The New Age Movement and the Biblical Worldview by John Newport
©1998 WmB Eerdman's Publishing Co

According to Eerdman's book, the New Age is "A call for transformation of people's views of society; it is a sophisticated monistic system ... related to Far Eastern religions, holistic; combines new physics, transpersonal psychology and human potential movement."


 

 



 

 

 

 

 

HAS THE NEW AGE INFILTRATED CHRISTIANITY?

Contemplative Prayer ... Mantra Meditation ... Higher Self ... Centering Prayer ... Reiki ... Labyrinths ... The Silence ... Spiritual Formation ... Spiritual Directors ... Visualization

If your church is using this language then there is a good chance your church has been infiltrated with the
New Age agenda.


The New Age
by Ray Yungen
(Author of A Time of Departing)

"The term [New Age] itself may indeed be fairly recent but the actual practices and beliefs involved are thousands of years old. For instance, the slave girl mentioned in Acts 16 was in effect a New Ager. The term itself was taken from astrology making reference to the Aquarian age in which humanity is supposedly going to realize its inner divinity. Hence, anyone who engages in these mystical practices is associated with this view, even though they may have lived centuries ago. It's not the term; it's the practices that are at issue here."

"Where does the church go to get the answers? There is a host of new speakers and books today that are trying to feed the spiritual hunger of seekers of a spiritual life. But they are not leading them to Jesus Christ (and His Word-the way it was written) but to a convergence, a synthesis of religious practices.... A synthesis of other spiritual practices borrowed from other religions was unacceptable by the apostles and the early church. —Spiritual fusion: East comes West, Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom," "spiritual disciplines," and many others.

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name [Jesus Christ] under heaven
given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4: 12
