"It is generally accepted that for American evangelicals in the early 21st century, one of the significant precursors to Christian Zionism is a version of restorationist theology known as premillennial dispensationalism." Christian Zionism and dispensationalism goes together like peanut butter and jelly. The idea of premillennialism, pre-trib rapture (or mid-trib, or post-trib) is the framework for Christian Zionism. You need one to make sense of the other.

Do you believe in dispensational theology?

One of the biggest heresies that Calvary Chapel holds: Dispensationalism https://calvarychapel.com/posts/pitfalls-of-dispensationalism/

In his 1978 book End Times, Smith was incorrectly convinced the generation of 1948 would be the last generation, and that the world would end by 1981 at the latest.[15] Smith supported his convictions again in his 1980 manuscript "Future Survival", postulating that from his "understanding of biblical prophecies… [I am] convinced that the Lord [will come] for His Church before the end of 1981." He identified that he "could be wrong" but continued in the same sentence that "it's a deep conviction in my heart, and all my plans are predicated upon that belief."[16] Calvary Chapel held a New Year's Eve service in 1981 for their followers to wait for the end to occur in accordance with Smith's prediction. When the world failed to end, disillusioned followers left the Calvary Chapel movement.

Notable ministers who have been mentored by Smith include Skip Heitzig, Mike MacIntosh, and Greg Laurie.

Allegations of Fake Revelations: We learned that he had a genealogical program on his computer. One of the things he was famous for was getting the address of a person and the names of their relatives. He mixed this information in with genuine supernatural revalation about healing, and he admitted this deceit to us.

In the late 1950s, Smith was the campaign manager and worship director for healing evangelist Paul Cain. Paul Cain (June 16, 1929 – February 12, 2019) was a Christian minister[1] involved with both neo-charismatic churches and the Charismatic Movement, and is named one of the Kansas City Prophets. Cain claims a supernatural encounter led him to close his ministry, after which point he didn't preach for close to 30 years. Cain also ministered with the International House of Prayer and Mike Bickle. Bickle encouraged Cain to prophesy in front of the International House of Prayer congregation.

Beginning with the 25-person Costa Mesa congregation in 1965, Smith's influence now extends to "more than 1,000 churches nationwide and hundreds more overseas",[1] some of which are among the largest churches in the United States.

Shapeshifters and hybrids and werewolves oh my!

A prominent televangelist and charismatic “prophetess” is claiming that she and her husband are childless after aliens visited her when she was young and implanted a device into her body that stole and harvested her eggs. Katie Souza’s bio says she was a “career criminal most of her life,” being “convicted of a number of felonies and sent to federal prison to serve almost twelve years” before God saved her nearly twenty years ago. In reality, it should read that she’s still a career criminal, with her crimes no longer being drug possession and gun running, but rather a criminal mishandling of God’s word- certainly a theological felony- demonstrating that the grift never, and, according to her recent Form 990 filings, earns her nearly $500,000 a year. https://protestia.com/2026/08/11/televangelist-claims-shes-childless-because-aliens-harvested-her-eggs-after-encounter/

Do you think the conspiracy world ties together new age philosophy with Christians?

Hello everyone! I was thinking of coming back and focusing on false teachers again. Let me know if you would be interested!

The U.S. Billionaires Secretly Funding the Right-wing Effort to Reshape Israel The Kohelet Policy Forum has wielded increasing influence on Israel's decision-making centers, with an ideology that weds conservative, settlement-supporting politics to free-market economics. Who is the guiding force behind this under-the-radar enterprise – and who's bankrolling it? Tracking the annual donations, which pass through several nonprofit groups in the United States, we discover that the money leads to two names: Jeffrey Yass and Arthur Dantchik. Neither are household names in Israel, or in the United States, for that matter – and not by chance. The two billionaires are strictly low-profile, even though they are among the biggest donors to the Republican Party. It was Kohelet that provided then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with the legal grounding for his precedent-setting announcement of U.S. recognition of the legality of the settlements, in 2019. Pompeo even publicly acknowledged the support of the Israeli think tank in this formulation of U.S. foreign policy. https://archive.ph/2022.06.28-142035/https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2021-03-11/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/the-u-s-billionaires-secretly-funding-the-right-wing-effort-to-reshape-israel/0000017f-e90c-da9b-a1ff-ed6f5dd30000
