True Biblical unity is not all-inclusive. It’s just not humanly possible to be committed to everyone in the same way and degree as we are to our own immediate families or our spouse, nor is that what God intended. Contrary to the idiotic, New Age, one-world, humanistic philosophies, the human race is not “just one […]
I believe in unity among believers—wholeheartedly. I believe it is vital to the Body of Christ in order to accomplish the purposes and plans of God on Earth. More importantly, beyond believing in it, I want it. No, I covet it! That is, I have a strong desire for it. I much prefer unity over […]
This site is about the premier book, Charismatic Captivation, by Steven Lambert. You'll find here a detailed description of the book, its Table of Contents, chapter synopses, sample chapters, a special word from the author, and blog articles adapted from the book.
The book, in both print and e-book version, may be purchased directly from this site at a discounted rate, or it can also be ordered through booksellers around the world, online (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, et al.) or brick-and-mortar outlets.
Charismatic Captivation exposes the widespread problem of authoritarian abuse in some Neo-Pentecostal church-groups, and explains how it became infused into the very fabric, foundation, and functions of the Neo-Pentecostal church after being introduced through a Charismatic campaign known as the Discipleship/Shepherding Movement (1970-77). References on this site to "Discipleship" or "Shepherding" (and variations) doctrines, teachings, proponents, participants, and so forth, allude to the pertinences of that movement.
WARNING: This book contains "the REAL truth" from GOD about hyper-authoritarianism in many popular spiritual streams, high-profile churches, and ministries, whose leaders do not want you to know! The message it contains has been denigrated and denounced by many (apparently guilty) church leaders. Do not read this book if you are not ready to know the REAL Truth, and do not follow its advice if you are not ready to be ostracized by streams, networks, churches, and leaders who espouse the false doctrines and employ the unbiblical control mechanisms it exposes!
