On April 19-22, in Orlando Florida, Exponential 2010 will present a\u00a0large number\u00a0of speakers, many of whom are proponents of the New Spirituality. Just another effort to build momentum for what has become obvious to\u00a0many discerning believers\u00a0– an apostate leadership racing toward a “New Christianity” for millions of unsuspecting proclaiming Christians.<\/p>\n
