IS YOUR CHURCH PRACTICING HINDUISM? When I was first saved out the New Age movement, I went directly into Bible college and what I considered to be the Christian "Church world." Of course being new to Christianity, it was easy to join fringe groups and not recognize them as such. I started attending different Church services and reading the Bible. At one point I ended up at a more lively congregation. Upon familiarizing myself with what they were doing, skeptical questions started entering my mind about their practices as a supposedly-Christian faith. Those went something like this: "Wait a second. Do you guys mean to tell me that, if I have enough faith, I can determine my own reality? Are you claiming I can make myself get a new car, house, or whatever I want?" The congregation turned out to be involved with the “Word of Faith“ movement. But they might as well call it “New Age,” which is just old-fashioned Hinduism. In New Age, the concept of repeating a mantra is called "creative visualization."; It's also why the Word of Faith people will say, "Hey, you better be careful with your words. Don't even say you're getting sick because you have the power to make that happen. The force of faith is in your mouth so whatever you keep speaking will become your reality.” Again, it’s all just warmed-over Hinduism. The Hindu religion is having a major impact on the Christian Church today. And it’s from a purposeful effort by Hinduism to slap Christianese on their practices and then dish that product out to Church folks who've been sold a bill of goods; i.e., the far-eastern techniques Hindus use to get into an altered state of consciousness (trying to escape reincarnation), are being taught in our Churches today. At the instruction from a Hindu practice, even in the Church today, people are having a spiritual experience. However, that doesn't mean it's the Spirit of God. Most people don't know it's really a demonic force because they aren't given the background on Hinduism to fully understand what they're being asked to do.
