    Prophecy, Words of Knowledge & Evangelism with JonMark Baker | Minor Prophets Podcast

    Can a prophetic word reach someone an argument never could? What if the most effective evangelism tool in Scripture is a detail about someone that only God could have known? JonMark Baker of the Minor Prophets Podcast joins Remnant Radio to talk about the gift of prophecy and words of knowledge as on-mission tools for evangelism. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: We live in a culture that's heard plenty of arguments for God and built a callus against most of them. Apologetics still matters. But what do you do with someone whose heart hardened against Jesus before you ever opened your mouth? That's where a word of knowledge does something logic can't. A divinely-given word proves to a stranger that God sees them, knows them, and has His eye on the actual details of their life. Paul described exactly this in 1 Corinthians 14:24-25: an outsider walks in, the secrets of his heart are laid bare through prophecy, and he falls on his face declaring that God is really among you. It's the New Testament's own case study for prophecy as evangelism. This is a conversation about giftings doing what they were always meant to do: building up the body of Christ, and pushing back the darkness in a culture that needs reminding God is real, and still speaks. 0:00 – Introduction 2:27 – JonMark Baker 4:36 – Prophesying & Availability 9:54 – God Speaks Subtly 20:49 – Spirit, Mind, Thought 25:33 – Prophetic Evangelism Steps 36:38 – Parable of the Soils 44:36 – Power & Evangelism 49:30 – Closing Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Did Protestant Reformers Believe in Spiritual Gifts? Luther, Calvin, Wesley & More

    Samuel Rutherford helped write the Westminster Confession. He also developed a four-part test for evaluating prophetic words. That's not a charismatic running loose, but a Westminster divine doing careful pastoral theology on the gifts. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: There's an assumption that the debate over spiritual gifts is a recent one: a 20th-century Pentecostal invention set against centuries of Reformation clarity. But the historical record tells a different story. John Knox was called "the prophet and apostle of our nation." John Welsh reportedly prayed a dead man back to life. George Wishart publicly predicted Cardinal Beaton's death from the pulpit. These weren't fringe figures. They were architects of the Scottish Reformation. In this episode, Joshua Lewis responds to a four-part viewer question that cuts to the heart of what cessationists often ask about continuationism:   1. Did any Protestant Reformers — Luther, Calvin, Knox, Wesley — actually affirm the continuation of miraculous spiritual gifts? 2. Are there accredited seminaries that teach continuationism, and if so, why don't more charismatic leaders pursue formal degrees? 3. Did the lack of denominational accountability in charismatic churches contribute to the scandals the show has covered? 4. Are continuationists mostly Arminian, or do Calvinists hold this position too? Joshua works through each question with the historical and theological care. Join us for an informative episode. 0:00 – Introduction 0:34 – Questions 2:23 – Reformation-Era Continuationism 5:26 – Continuationist Seminaries 7:01 – Charismatic Anti-Intellectualism 11:27 – Denominational Accountability & Scandal 14:52 – Calvinism vs. Arminianism RESOURCES MENTIONED:  - Scots Worthies by John Howie (unedited, Project Gutenberg): https://www.gutenberg.org/files/28272/28272-h/28272-h.htm - Spirit Hermeneutics by Craig Keener: https://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Hermeneutics-Reading-Scripture-Pentecost/dp/0802874398 - Barna Research — "Is There a Reformed Movement in American Churches?": https://www.barna.com/research/is-there-a-reformed-movement-in-american-churches/ Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Deliverance, Baptism & Church History | Matthew Esquivel

    The early church didn't just baptize new believers. They delivered them first. For the first several centuries of Christianity, exorcism wasn't a dramatic spectacle reserved for extreme cases. It was woven into the baptismal rite itself, practiced across traditions, and considered a normal part of welcoming someone into the body of Christ. Somewhere along the way, we forgot. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Matthew Esquivel returns to Remnant Radio to walk us through overlooked chapters in church history. We'll examine the deep and consistent link between baptism and deliverance in the early church. From the Apostolic Tradition attributed to Hippolytus of Rome in the third century, to the Seventh Council of Carthage in 258 AD, to the near-universal practice of renouncing Satan as part of the baptismal liturgy, the historical record is clear. The church fathers didn't see deliverance as a crisis intervention. They saw it as part of what it meant to cross from one kingdom into another. This episode is for believers who want to understand deliverance ministry historically and theologically. It's for people who've seen something real in deliverance prayer but haven't had the church history to back it up. And it's for the skeptics who wonder whether any of this has any grounding in Christian tradition. 0:00 – Introduction 4:52 – Baptism & Deliverance Overview 7:31 – Defining Christian Initiation 13:29 – Baptism in Scripture 21:36 – Acts 8 & Typology 31:03 – Tertullian on Baptism 40:45 – Cyprian's Baptismal Rite 58:16 – Augustine's Exorcism Account 1:05:40 – Practical Application Today 1:11:42 – Closing Thoughts INTRODUCTION TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    A 6-Step Framework for Spirit-Led Bible Study | Alli Patterson

    When reading the Bible, Christians are often trained to do one of two things: submit their interpretation to an authority or trust their feelings. Alli Patterson's new book makes the case for a third way - one where the Holy Spirit is not an alternative to good hermeneutics, but the reason they work at all. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: The conversation happening inside the body of Christ right now isn't just about cessationism or spiritual gifts. It's about authority. Who gets to interpret the Bible? The trained scholar? The anointed preacher? You? Alli Patterson, seminary grad, teacher and author of a new Spirit-led Bible study, lands in a place you might not expect: all three, held together, under the actual leadership of the Holy Spirit. Her six-practice method takes observation, context, prayer, and listening seriously as spiritual disciplines, not just academic ones. In this conversation, she and Josh work through how to apply a text personally without leaving Scripture behind, how to test a reading in community, and what to do when you've done everything right and still don't understand what you're reading. This isn't a call to choose between your study Bible and your prayer life. It's a call to stop treating them as separate things. 0:00 – Introduction 2:44 – Spirit-Led Study Defined 14:18 – Six Practices Overview 20:08 – Observation and Context 25:01 – Listening to the Spirit 32:43 – Testing Personal Application 49:35 – Scripture-Guided Prayer 53:45 – Handling Difficult Passages 1:03:44 – Closing ABOUT THE GUEST: 📖 Spirit-Led Bible Study https://a.co/d/08IpTSnd Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Did He Deny The Second Coming? Brian Simmons & The Passion Translation Exposed!

    If a book promises to give you the heart of God while quietly replacing His words with someone else's, that's not a translation. It's a trap. And the trap has a paper trail. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: The Passion Translation has been endorsed by some of the most influential voices in the charismatic world. Bill Johnson called it the best thing to happen to Bible translation in his lifetime. It's been sold in Bethel's bookstore, read in prayer rooms, and handed to new believers across the movement. David Fish and JonMark Baker of the Minor Prophets Podcast spent weeks comparing the Passion Translation, line by line, against its claimed sources. What they found isn't a matter of interpretation. It's documented. Where Brian Simmons departs from the Greek text, and claims an "Aramaic" source, the renderings don't match the Peshitta, the actual Syriac New Testament. They match the Mirror Bible, The Message, and other fringe paraphrases. Fish found over 300 instances in Paul's epistles alone. Simmons also claimed co-translator credentials on a Kuna New Testament. Ethnos 360, the mission that ran the project, says he was NEVER a Bible translator. The organization's own personnel said so on record. The second half of this episode goes deeper: into Simmons' theology. In his own words, in multiple recordings, he redefines the second coming of Christ as an unveiling of a glorified end-times people rather than a bodily return. He calls the physical second coming "not in the Bible." He says, directly: "Christ is no longer a person. He is now a body, a corporate expression." That's not a slip. That's a system, and it has a name: Manifested Sons of God theology has a long history in the fringe of the charismatic world, and Brian Simmons is teaching it from the platform the movement handed him.

    The Analogous Gifts: A New Framework for Cessationists and Continuationists | Dr. Vern Poythress

    Most Christians think the debate over spiritual gifts comes down to one question: do they still happen or don't they? Dr. Vern Poythress, 50-year New Testament professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, says both cessationists and continuationists are asking the wrong question.  ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Dr. Poythress proposes the term "analogous gifts" — the idea that the gifts of the Spirit are genuine, Spirit-empowered works modeled after Christ's own prophetic, priestly, and kingly ministry, but subordinate to it. Not identical to what the apostles did. Not a lower-tier substitute. Analogous with the same Spirit, the same source, a different level of authority. This reframing has real stakes for the cessationist/continuationist divide. The tension in the body of Christ right now isn't just academic: it's shaping how whole churches think about prophecy, tongues, healing, and what it means to be filled with the Spirit. Dr. Poythress argues that if Gaffin is right about New Testament prophecy being infallible, that doesn't end the conversation, but just moves it. There's still a genuine, non-inspired, Spirit-empowered gifting that needs to be accounted for. And if Grudem is right, continuationists still need to reckon with what discernment and testing actually look like in practice. Joshua and Dr. Poythress also discuss the history of cessationism, why it developed as a response to Roman Catholic claims, how the Reformation fought on two fronts (Rome and the enthusiasts), and why figures like Samuel Rutherford and even C.H. Spurgeon complicate the neat cessationist narrative. The episode doesn't try to solve the debate. It tries to widen the table. 0:00 – Introduction 0:44 – Guest: Vern Poythress 3:05 – Analogous Gifts Explained 14:52 – Cessationism vs. Completionism 20:34 – Canon and Prophecy 30:06 – Puritan Prophesying Language 44:04 – RC Sproul's Voice 53:15 – Pursuing Spiritual Gifts 59:09 – Closing Thoughts GROW IN THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT PLAYLIST:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFGpsFnIkPFAIzI4BFoAy3zQ ABOUT THE GUEST: "What are Spiritual Gifts?" by Dr. Poythress https://frame-poythress.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/PoythressVernWhatAreSpiritualGifts.pdf Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Prophets in the Divine Council: What Heiser Saw in the Hebrew Text

    What if the Old Testament prophets weren't just messengers who received words from God, but participants in His heavenly court? That's the proposal Dr. Michael Heiser put forth in his works on the divine council. The Remnant Radio explores this perspective, walks through the texts, and works out what it means for how we think about prophecy today. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Dr. Michael Heiser put forth the interpretative framework that the Old Testament prophets participated in Yahweh's divine council, and access to that court is what distinguished the genuine prophet from the counterfeit. The claim from The Unseen Realm: "True prophets have stood and listened in Yahweh's divine council; false prophets have not."  Heiser's proposal focuses on the word sōd, appearing in Jeremiah 23:18 as the sōd YHWH, "the council of Yahweh," and describes what the Hebrew Bible presents as Yahweh's heavenly assembly. Jeremiah deploys it as the credibility test for prophets: the genuine ones have stood in it. The false have not. If that reading is right, the prophetic calling in the Old Testament was more than hearing a message from God. Rather, it was about access to the divine council - admission into the throne room of God.  The concept finds support across multiple texts. Amos 3:7 declares that God does nothing without first revealing his counsel to the prophets, and the council scenes throughout the Hebrew Bible show a relationship that is consistently dialogical. Isaiah is caught up into the council of YHWH so that he can give an answer. He doesn't passively receive a scroll. He's present in a scene (seraphim, a throne, a voice asking "Who will go?"), and he responds.  This idea matters for the body of Christ right now. The continuationist world is navigating real questions about prophetic legitimacy, accountability, and what it actually means to carry a word from God. Heiser's framework gives us a biblical-theological foundation for those conversations that goes deeper than most of what's currently in circulation. If the sōd YHWH is the dividing line between true and false prophecy in Jeremiah 23, that has implications we haven't fully worked out yet. This episode walks through the key texts and what it means for how we think about the prophetic today. 0:00 – Introduction 3:05 – Divine Council Overview 10:44 – Prophets in the Council 14:26 – Adam, Enoch, Noah 17:55 – Moses and Prophets 20:51 – Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah 23:41 – True vs. False Prophets 32:46 – New Covenant Implications 43:56 – Democratization of the Spirit 45:33 – Warning: Heavenly Travel PLAYLIST OF DR.

    Bethel Just Released a New Statement. Here's Our Take.

    Bethel Church released a NEW statement via email addressing the controversies and scandals involving their organization and the people they've endorsed and promoted.  We've been consistent on this: the charismatic movement needs internal voices willing to evaluate its most influential organizations with theological honesty. Tribal loyalty doesn't serve the people who've been hurt. And reflexive dismissal doesn't serve the people who are genuinely trying to find their way forward. Both are too easy. So we're reading the statement. We're weighing what's there. We'll do our best to call balls and strikes, and give you a framework for evaluating it yourself. Our hope is that this conversation helps you think through what genuine accountability and repentance look like in a public Christian context and what we should actually expect from leaders and organizations when things have gone wrong. 0:00 – Introduction 0:35 – Shawn Bolz Allegations Overview 6:14 – Kris Vallotton's Response 8:05 – Bethel's Statement  14:15 – Governance & Leadership Review 25:39 – Accountability & Safety Update 33:26 – Wider Culture Ministry Review 42:49 – Platforming & Reinstatement Policy 52:05 – California Privacy Law Concerns POLICING THE CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHSZqA1Q85VKxRrkvEYXBec ABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO: The Remnant Radio exists to equip believers who are hungry for the radical middle of both Word and Spirit.
