In reply to Llane van Wyk. Llane van Wyk The reason for their nonsense is because they do not know God and his Word and therefore are not saved. They believe in another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4).

If they believe that Jesus only became the Son of God AFTER His baptism, then we also only become children of God after we are baptised, but the Bible teaches that one does not need to be baptised in order to be safed. They keep contradicting themselves and I don’t understand how people fall for this nonsense….

I saw this article today and had to research Xandre as I had not heard of him before (even though I’ve lived in Johannesburg all my life). Very sad.

Honestly, Xandre and his groupies, are out for one thing. Its not really about the word. He is growing a human farm, these people are working, mostly for free, or giving their homes, cars, businesses, jobs etc to fill his insatiable hunger for money and power. He and his upper groupies, for example drives a big Fortuner while others lose everything and have to move in with other groupies just to survive…

The worst is you cant help them… But you can expose them and try to prevent other from falling into their grip.

In reply to R.J..

Hi RJ :hi:

Hope you are doing well :hug:

Totally correct, this ‘divine spark’, ‘treasure’, ‘gift’, ‘mystery’, ‘self’, ‘inner man’, ‘inner woman’, inner person’, ‘life force’, ‘vital force’, ‘breath’ or ‘pneuma’, ‘fire’, ‘power’, ‘energy’, ‘and believe it or not the word ‘vitality’ are all words used to describe this force we are supposed to be born with that connects us to the universe (Lucifer).

False teacher under EVERY rock…. to be sure!!

While I’m totally unfamiliar with this guy (before reading this)…. all I could think of was UH-OH when I read about that “divine spark” business!! Hence…. MAX LUCADO…. pastor & best selling author… who, perhaps some 20-25 years ago seemed sound…. BUT!! Beware!! He now uses the verbiage, “DIVINE SPARK” business!!!!!! He often quotes mystics in his books —

I have one of his books sitting right here in front of me, on page 106 of “Trade Your Cares for Calm” {nice, SOOTHING-sounding book, right?!} Max writes: you have something of God within you, something noble and holy, something the world needs — …” HOW DOES HE KNOW HE’S TALKING ONLY TO CHRISTIANS in his books?

Or is it maybe because he believes & now teaches Panentheism…?? Meaning they think God is IN ALL… similar to what unitarians teach, I believe. Max Lucado has never recanted any of such sayings in his books BTW!! Now days, he’s all about “social justice”… even bowing down & apologizing for being white!

Again, early on he seemed SO conservative…. so trustworthy! But to be honest, I think in these last moments of the last days, we have a rough time finding any PERSON who writes ahem, “Christian” books who gets it right! All the more reason to stick to the Bible alone!

BTW, out of curiosity I peeked at a couple more pages in the same book I named…. Max used the SAME EXACT “mantra” on page 111!! I’ve got to say, pretty easy to believe it’s elsewhere throughout the book, too. That’s all they are BTW: MANTRAS! False gospel mantras! Seem easier to instill in uninformed & uneducated believers that way!!

This individual certainly 'studies' a different Bible than do I. I am not a learned theologian but I will try to refute his claims with just two incidents described in the Scriptures.

Jesus was not the son of Mary and [Joseph] - He was the son of Mary conceived of the holy Spirit; fully man and fully God.
I wonder if Strydom knows of any man who ever walked on water??

Are these too simple to understand that one needs many twisted Scriptures passages to prove a false doctrine?

I know the feeling Tom.
It makes me sick, angry and altogether very sad. :unhappy:
There is a false teacher under ever rock. Xandré Strydom has a small horde of teachers at Christ in Me International. I wonder if they take turns in being ‘christ’ for the day to accommodate each other? :wonder: :dazed:

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2 Jonn 1:7-11).

It makes me sick.
