CASE 01Published
EschatologyAmillennialism
Replacing the future thousand-year reign with the present church age contradicts Revelation’s order: Christ returns, defeats the beast, raises His saints, binds Satan, and then reigns.
Isaiah 2:2–4 · Isaiah 11:1–9 · Isaiah 65:17–25
CASE 02Published
SalvationChristian Universalism
The claim that every person will finally be saved through Christ, with or without repentance and faith, contradicts Scripture’s conditions of salvation and its final distinction between eternal life and everlasting punishment.
Matthew 7:13–14 · Matthew 25:31–46 · Mark 1:14–15
CASE 03Published
Spiritual PracticesChristianized Occult Meditation
Mantras, mind-emptying, guided visualization, spirit guides, and altered-state or astral techniques remain occult when given Christian names; biblical meditation thoughtfully fills the mind with God’s word and prayer with understanding.
Deuteronomy 13:1–5 · Deuteronomy 18:9–14 · Joshua 1:8
CASE 04Published
Doctrine of GodGnostic Sophia / A Feminine Holy Spirit
The claim that the Holy Ghost is the Gnostic goddess Sophia, or that personified Wisdom reveals a feminine deity within the Godhead, imports occult mythology into Scripture and contradicts the Spirit’s revealed identity and mission.
Genesis 1:26–28 · Proverbs 1:20–33 · Proverbs 8:1–36
CASE 05Published
EschatologyHistoricism
Treating Revelation as a continuous coded chronicle of church history produces unstable identifications and relocates final events that Scripture presents as a concentrated, future crisis ending in Christ’s return.
Genesis 41:25–32 · Daniel 2:31–45 · Daniel 7:15–27
CASE 06Published
EschatologyIdealism
Reducing Revelation to recurring spiritual patterns dissolves the concrete persons, events, judgments, and kingdom conditions God gave His people to recognize and endure.
Genesis 41:25–32 · Daniel 7:15–27 · Daniel 12:8–10
CASE 07Published
SalvationInfant Baptismal Regeneration
The claim that baptism regenerates, justifies, or makes an infant a Christian apart from personal repentance and faith reverses the apostolic pattern in which people hear the gospel, believe in Christ, and then receive baptism.
Ezekiel 36:25–27 · Matthew 28:18–20 · Mark 10:13–16
CASE 08Published
ChristologyNew Age “Christ Consciousness”
The claim that Jesus merely manifested a universal Christ principle and that people can awaken their own divinity contradicts Scripture’s revelation of Jesus as the unique eternal Son, Creator, and only Savior.
Psalm 82:1–8 · Luke 17:20–21 · John 1:1–18
CASE 09Published
SalvationOnce Saved Always Saved
The claim that a past profession guarantees salvation regardless of later unbelief, rebellion, or apostasy contradicts Jesus and the apostles, who command believers to abide, endure, and take heed lest they fall.
Romans 16:17–18 · Genesis 3:1–4 · Matthew 24:12–13
