What are your thoughts on the New Apostolic Reformation and The Passion Translation?

The NAR and The Passion Translation are poisonous "leaven" that has infiltrated the Church. These modern day "prophets" and "apostles" have been increasingly spreading their false teachings over the years. It has gotten to the point now where you will find them almost everywhere you find "Christian" resources. "Christian" television, "Christian" books, "Christian" music etc.

At its core the NAR is Dominionist/Kingdom Now and through their teachings, like the "7 Mountain Mandate" (also referred to as the "7 Spheres") they are teaching Christians that they must "take back" these areas of culture from Satan in order to build Christ's earthly kingdom so that He can/will return.

I have family and friends involved in this. YWAM (Youth With A Mission) trains the missionaries that do a DTS with them all about the "7 Mountain Mandate". This has always been a part of YWAM as Loren Cunningham, the founder, claims to have received a message in 1975 from God telling him about these 7 Mountains.

The NAR is also focused on bringing people back to Rome. Many of the main leaders of this movement have personally gone to the Vatican and met with the Pope in a spirit of ecumenism. It's heartbreaking to see this unfolding and world religions seem to be joining together more rapidly these days. Pope Francis has definitely made major strides in bringing all world religions together, and has been doing much to bring Protestants and Evangelicals back to Rome.

I enocourage all Christians to do their research on this. On the false teachers, the lying signs and wonders (slain in the Spirit, "Holy laughter", glory clouds, gold dust etc.) And on the overall agenda. This movement is very concerning and not enough Christians are aware of it or are warning others about it.

Here is one answer concerning the Passion, translation. What is the Passion Translation of the Bible?
As to NAR itself. I think that many in this movement are sincere Christians but as a predominate rapture believer, I disagree with their view of the end times. Their seven mountains are good goals but they were not the first to outline them and I fear they do distract some from focusing on the gospel. They also have no well-articulated plan or resources (as yet) to take over the seven spheres. I'm wondering too how patient their adherents will be and if the movement will lose steam if things are not progressing fast enough.
