@@LAndrewNext There is plenty of evidence to prove that we have a Creator and we are His creations. A painting doesnt simply come into existence without a painter nor does one explosion in a singular point in time determine the very existence of life because that sounds far more ridiculous than God creating everything from the earth, the animals, light and darkness, and even the creation of man, male and female; nothing cannot produce something, thats basic biology which is the study of life. You know you're coming into a video where there are people who believe in God, and the words of Lord Jesus. My question is why are you here if you don't believe there is one? Something is drawing you towards these videos, to the faith of those who believe in the name of the Lord, and perhaps even to God's word, the Holy Bible. I encourage you to seek Him out, spend some time in the Gospel of Matthew and let His words determine your heart. Believe me, I was just like you. Why should I believe and why does He care, i'm a good person in my heart? Then the words of Lord Jesus brought me to repentance and the Holy Spirit filled me with understanding that everyone in the world cannot understand. It was John 20:30-31 that led me to give my life fully to Christ. I have spoken
@@LAndrewNextIt's not a lack of evidence that keeps you from acknowledging the existence of God, it's a love for your sin (the breaking of God's commandments). If you acknowledge God (the God of the Bible) then you have a dilemma, the need to acknowledge your sin and turn from it in repentance and faith in Christ but I urge you too. God knows everything about you, your thoughts, your motives, your actions, the things you say, the desires of your heart. It's Him you must prove to that you don't believe, not us Christians. God already knows though that you suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18) because you don't like it.

Summary of Identified Issues - Self-described "progressive" church - Women "pastors" - Posture on non-binary genders & gay "marriage" - Teaching on money and "the purpose gospel" - Self-confessed lack of study and training disqualifies him from being a church elder
Please be aware that exposing false teaching is very essential for the Body of Christ. Thank you, it is beneficial for us to expose and in our own study of the Word of God to discern it. Some people just do not realize the deception until it is pointed out. I appreciate ministry that likes what they do and does it by scripture spoken in love and with warning. Apostle Paul warned the churches of apostasy. If nothing is said, we are silent and silence approves it.
I live in Tulsa. It is such a shame that city is so overrun with false teachers. From ORU and Rhema, to Transformation Church. We're like the world Capital of the Word of Faith movement. The NAR Crowd have been setting up shop here left and rigut too recently.
Jake, You have been doing a great job Brother. Keep up the Good Work, persevering till the end with great Endurance, by GOD'S Preserving Grace In CHRIST
You guys didn’t even talk about Transformations “Easter” play. I would love to see you guys thoughts on Craig Groschel and Life Church as well! Thanks for the great content.
22:48 I’m not a mine Todd supporter - I feel like Mike really is trying on the issue of male and female. I think he was very sloppy in his teaching and he didn’t take a strong stance, but he he did say, God made male and female in his message… where he went wrong was that he said he WISHES it was something different then God’s design as if his design could be so much better …. He started well and failed with his delivery on that… I appreciate the honesty from him.. but maybe he shouldn’t be a pastor if he isn’t sure of God’s commands.
As a Reformed Continuationist, people like this make me cringe more than any Cessationist ever could. They bring disdain and reproach not only to the Gospel, but to the Gifts of the Spirit they claim to operate in.
Agreed. infuriates me that a guy like him has such a big platform and following and he's false, yet I talk to fellow pastors in my community who are struggling in ministry, love Jesus, preach the Word boldly and no one will ever know them.
I don't know but it seems kind of offensive actually; hearing the use of the words 'freaking' or 'fric'. It makes me think that the person has harsher words on their mind but speak the softer words in order to still "sound cool" with the crowd. Almost as if they must change their language in order to be heard instead of just speaking the truth how it is. Seriously, they need to get a vocabulary and sound more intelligient.
Sounding more intelligent is the least of Mike Todd's problem; his biggest problem is his lack of biblical knowledge to teach the Bible. He is not qualified to be a pastor.
I've been really leaning into this exact topic this weekend. Someone had recommended me Life Church, never heard of it before, but looking into it absolutely not. I would love to see a video on Life Church and see your view on them. I definitely think that what's being preached is taken out of context and lead people into despair through magnifying their desires by twisting the word of God to tailor to their emotions. On top of all of this this "Pastor" named Craig doesn't have a Bible on hand and in no way refers to Gods words during his Sermons. Lastly he speaks on things that in no way shape or form should be spoken about within the Church in many differnt contexts. Very blasphemous in my opinion, but wanted to know yalls personal view points and bounce some thoughts off one another! Love yalls work and really think you guys speak Gods words through and through with every topic.
Any discussion on Ravi Zacharias? He wasn’t part of the charismania movement, will he be exposed or just folks that fit the charismatic narrative you seemed to only dwell on!
@@beingsaved556 yes I’ve seen his videos. I think it would be great if someone like Apologia can make a video because there are multiple connections to Lovy that I think are very cultish. Ejay Newton, Passion Java, etc.
“Progressive” could mean departure from the Authority of the Bible or tradition or it could mean what is meant in context on this website, which is the approach to getting the Gospel message to the masses.
Excellent podcast guys. I wish you all would do one (or several) on the River Church in Tampa, "pastor" Rodney Howard Browne. I have a dear friend who lives in Tampa and his best friend from childhood goes there and is being deceived by their false teaching. If you already covered them, I would love a link. Thanks and blessings in Christ.
I had a preacher attempt to copy this with whatever you dont want to do is what you need to do. My response (to myself) was i dont want to do crack, but the preacher says...
I view money in the same way that Jesus explains Matthew 18:9 “And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.” Ultimately I don’t think God want’s us to be poor because being poor can put you in a position where you’re forced to make some sinful decisions in an effort to preserve yourself. With that being said I’m banking on God to provide; the amount of my prosperity has no number figure attached to it because God is enough. Given that God is good… any amount he provides is also good and sufficient. You are never poor when you have God and nor does prosperity have to imply monetary value.
19:22 it sounds like he’s begging… when in reality he needs to convey that the creator makes the rules and that we don’t get to create the word of God in our own image. Look, I get that he’s trying to soften the blow but… we are all sinners and we’re all dealing with our own battles. If you’re a trans person dealing with gender issues it doesn’t mean you’re being singled out as a sinner… at the same time you don’t get to create your own rules.
I saw parts of his “Easter church service” online and it was disgusting blasphemy and very wicked!!!! He better repent and step down out of the pulpit and sit in the pew and learn from actual qualified men that God has called to preach and teach his word!!! He is certainly NOT a Christian with a disgraceful wicked display like that!!! He also allowed Carl Lentz back in ministry and he should be forever expelled from the ministry!!! Repent and trust in the true Christ alone because you are still dead in your sins Michael Todd and you are lying to people.🙏❤️.
I honestly disagree with alot I see in the American church. However, the part about Todd saying God could you have made and in-between.....is an honest question that yes is dangerous, however I kind of get where he's coming from. Moses questioned God as did Abraham and Job etc and God dealt with them it's a human responce.....it is a part of human will but at the end of the day you submit to God and say I don't know the answer. I also get it seems to make God seem bad and Todd is appeasing LGBT folk maybe. I don't know.....just a few thoughts.
Of course. What matters isn't the Title. If one is performing Proper Exegesis in Solid Hermeneutics; the Exact same method We get The TRINITY, Deity of CHRIST, Just by Grace, thru Faith, In CHRIST -this Leads to the exact thing Calvinists believe, preach and practice (who cares what Ya call Yourself; as long as Your Faithfully Obedient to CHRIST!-)
We Unite In CHRIST. i have Never met a Calvinist that says "'Arminians' are Not CHRISTians" (and They do Know what Arminians believe). However, We do fairly often run into Arminians who say "Calvanists are Not CHRISTians" (and they misrepresent Calvanists).
So I appreciate the attention given here but I think it's important to get information right. Mike was not given pastorship of the church from his parents; he got his start in ministry in their church but Transformation church was originally Pastored by someone else whom he is not related to and they handed the reigns over to him after he had spent some time being the youth pastor there and moved up to teaching the broader congregation as well. He also came very close to making it in the music industry but seems convinced he was called to ministry instead. That couple are older and wanted to retire so it was good timing for his entry to the office and beginning the youtube ministry which has made Transformation so well known. Another thing to note is that having seen some of his earlier preaching it seems to me fame has not gone well for him; he seems less sure of things now then before. One thing I respect about Mike is that he has preached against various vices such as pornography that not all pastors are willing to address. I think his ego has run away with what could have been a good ministry, aside from the focus on the seeker sensitive approach being flawed to begin with.
Maybe invite people and talk to them first, get them to exhibit their fruits in person, and then judge...righteously. but y'all are judging first, and then saying, "we would love to invite you on the show." I think in doing so you fuel the controversy and ultimately turn more people to listen to Mike for themselves, only allowing God to reach more people through him. I think a lot of times we categorize people who teach the gospel differently than we would like as false teachers. I think this series is very noble, but I think you guys should really dig deep and analyze if it's an actual false teaching or if it's just a different way of teaching it. We live in a new generation, which means that the way people are reached will manifest in different ways. This generation wants what's real. And a pastor telling us that there are some decisions of God that makes them uncomfortable, yet their faith in Jesus is unwavering is more real than what most preachers give these days. I'd rather hear God speaking through someone who is like me than someone who portrays themselves as more holy.
God is so simple people repent acts 2:38 repentance from the heart only if you received he’s Holy Spirit Jesús Christ spirit then your save if you don’t have he’s spirit your not save very simple Amén 🙏 and you need to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ or the Lord Jesús Amén 🙏 and if you received he’s spirit you must live a holy life for God cause God is holy so simple that a six grader understand it you adults what to keep living in the world doing evil things and then you wonder why you’re not saved cause you didn’t repent from your heart thank you Jesus Christ Amén 🙏
I’m Catholic. You may have a misunderstanding about what we believe. Catholics believe we are saved by faith through grace which is in the moment of baptism. That’s initial justification. At that point, you will go to heaven as long as you don’t do anything so heinous before you die that will separate you from God (without repentance). You can increase your justification, which doesn’t mean you work your way into heaven, it just means that you are additionally rewarded for your good works in heaven. Matthew 5:12, 6:6.
@@ogmakefirefiregood which part did you disagree with? I read those passages… maybe I’m a little slow but I didn’t get what you were trying to point out
Joel Osteen is like this, I mean many many of these people talk about how to succeed here on earth. That’s literally the first sign to steer clear. Our focus should be glorifying God and following Jesus. Not getting a promotion lol
I think y’all are really Reaching with the first example of his “false teaching”. The way Todd presents it is, most times we know we’re doing the right thing when it goes against what we naturally would want to do- which then ties into LGBT; that They naturally want to live an alternative lifestyle, and they may not understand why God made them that way but ultimately they must submit to the King. I don’t see any falsehood in that at all, & i don’t get any implication that he’s Demonizing God by stating the obvious- we Christians all believe God’s will is above ours & that our desires may conflict with what He wants for us- therefore we wrestle with it at times but ultimately must submit; we all agree on that. Where’s the false teaching?
I think it comes down to how we define false teaching. I would define it as any teaching that contradicts Scripture or deceives people so as to lead them away from the truth. Paul says to Timothy that “…evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13). The first piece of what Todd says is true-we are to bring our opinions into submission to the Lord. However, he goes on to imply that God may have been too restrictive in only creating two genders, and sides himself with those who support transgender ideology. This is deceiving people into thinking it is okay to view our own opinion of what should have happened (i.e. I wish God would have created A, B, C, or D) as acceptable against God’s design. It’s not okay to do that. He’s essentially apologizing for how God did it and pandering to people who believe in an ideology that is leading them away from repentance and faith in Christ. Yes, it may ostensibly come off like “reaching,” but in reality we are trying to diagnose and refute a subtle-yet-harmful teaching that is leading others astray. Todd also says toward the end of the clip that he doesn’t know about gay marriage. This is more obviously false. He knows good and well what Scripture teaches on marriage-but he’s playing the uncertain card to sound more palatable to a group of people who truly believe that marriage can happen between two men or two women. That is leading people astray from God’s good design of marriage being between one man and one woman. Hopefully this is helpful. I appreciate the feedback on this.
John ch.18:36ESV"Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” There is no political pathway to JEHOVAH'S Kingdom. Daniel ch.11:14ESV"“In those times many shall rise against the king of the south, and the violent among your own people shall lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they shall fail." JEHOVAH'S Warning to those who think they can establish his righteousness via political or military power
All Believers are Anointed by GOD In The HOLY SPIRIT. And thats coming from a Full-Blown Sempré Reformeda PURITAN; lol-) Touch not The APPLE Of MY Eye, do MY Ambassadors no harm.
THIS is false teaching.... 2 Timothy 2:16-18 (LEB): 16 But avoid pointless chatter, for it will progress to greater ungodliness, 17 and their message ⌊will spread⌋ like gangrene, among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have deviated concerning the truth by* saying the resurrection has already taken place, and they are upsetting the faith of some. Not liking the WAY someone says something is not false not is it adding it taking away. Seek God with all your hearts to rightly divide the word of truth. There's only truth in what's quoted here from Mike Todd. Im no fan of his, but please be honest.
It's tragic that Mike Todd should have ever been allowed to teach his church given his lack of knowledge and understanding of the Word of God, not to mention God commanded Timothy through Paul to study to show yourself approved. 2 Timothy 2:15.
and yet more christians sure that other christians are false teachers, but the christians making the accusations can't show that they aren't false teachers. The christian circular firing squad strikes again.
Friend, if you cant tell Mike Todd is a false teacher. You are either a recent convert, or you have not read the Bible. There is no circular firing squad.
@@TyXDaJedi ROFL. Yep, dear, each christian thinks that their favorite couldn't possibly be false. As I pointed out, it's just a lovely christian circular firing squad.

It’s insidious because what they’re saying in this video has truth in it, but they’re explanations are hot garbage.

God is so simple people repent acts 2:38 repentance from the heart only if you received he’s Holy Spirit Jesús Christ spirit then your save if you don’t have he’s spirit your not save very simple Amén 🙏 and you need to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ or the Lord Jesús Amén 🙏 and if you received he’s spirit you must live a holy life for God cause God is holy so simple that a six grader understand it you adults what to keep living in the world doing evil things and then you wonder why you’re not saved cause you didn’t repent from your heart thank you Jesus Christ Amén 🙏
Would love to see you guys deal with Rome's false Gospel.
That would be cultish! Lol-)
...Cultishhh
I’m Catholic. You may have a misunderstanding about what we believe. Catholics believe we are saved by faith through grace which is in the moment of baptism. That’s initial justification. At that point, you will go to heaven as long as you don’t do anything so heinous before you die that will separate you from God (without repentance). You can increase your justification, which doesn’t mean you work your way into heaven, it just means that you are additionally rewarded for your good works in heaven. Matthew 5:12, 6:6.
@瑞轲 Friend, Jesus Christ accomplished His mission 100%. Isaia 55:10-15, John 6:36-45.
@@ogmakefirefiregood which part did you disagree with? I read those passages… maybe I’m a little slow but I didn’t get what you were trying to point out
The Church exist for those who part of It. SO IS THIS WRIGHT IR WRONG? What say you?
Bimo
The church is for believers, not for the lost. Just like the Bible.

Joel Osteen is like this, I mean many many of these people talk about how to succeed here on earth. That’s literally the first sign to steer clear. Our focus should be glorifying God and following Jesus. Not getting a promotion lol
I think y’all are really Reaching with the first example of his “false teaching”. The way Todd presents it is, most times we know we’re doing the right thing when
it goes against what we naturally would want to do- which then ties into LGBT; that They naturally want to live an alternative lifestyle, and they may not understand why God made them that way but ultimately they must submit to the King. I don’t see any falsehood in that at all, & i don’t get any implication that he’s Demonizing God by stating the obvious- we Christians all believe God’s will is above ours & that our desires may conflict with what He wants for us- therefore we wrestle with it at times but ultimately must submit; we all agree on that. Where’s the false teaching?
I think it comes down to how we define false teaching. I would define it as any teaching that contradicts Scripture or deceives people so as to lead them away from the truth. Paul says to Timothy that “…evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13). The first piece of what Todd says is true-we are to bring our opinions into submission to the Lord. However, he goes on to imply that God may have been too restrictive in only creating two genders, and sides himself with those who support transgender ideology. This is deceiving people into thinking it is okay to view our own opinion of what should have happened (i.e. I wish God would have created A, B, C, or D) as acceptable against God’s design. It’s not okay to do that. He’s essentially apologizing for how God did it and pandering to people who believe in an ideology that is leading them away from repentance and faith in Christ. Yes, it may ostensibly come off like “reaching,” but in reality we are trying to diagnose and refute a subtle-yet-harmful teaching that is leading others astray.
Todd also says toward the end of the clip that he doesn’t know about gay marriage. This is more obviously false. He knows good and well what Scripture teaches on marriage-but he’s playing the uncertain card to sound more palatable to a group of people who truly believe that marriage can happen between two men or two women. That is leading people astray from God’s good design of marriage being between one man and one woman.
Hopefully this is helpful. I appreciate the feedback on this.
Many times he preaches the wrong word 😂 he be doing too much too
Todd White as well guys teaches some serious crazy things and blasphemous things:)
That is right, another false Todd to have to mention.
He definitely seems to be preaching to the cameras. Almost like he has no audience in the room.
Now how about Todd White 🤷♂️
Squabble. Not 'squibble'. Whatever that means
John ch.18:36ESV"Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”
There is no political pathway to JEHOVAH'S Kingdom.
Daniel ch.11:14ESV"“In those times many shall rise against the king of the south, and the violent among your own people shall lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they shall fail."
JEHOVAH'S Warning to those who think they can establish his righteousness via political or military power
Obeying Christ teaching??? Michael TODD????
All Believers are Anointed by GOD In The HOLY SPIRIT. And thats coming from a Full-Blown Sempré Reformeda PURITAN; lol-) Touch not The APPLE Of MY Eye, do MY Ambassadors no harm.
Jake the Snake Stomper
THIS is false teaching....
2 Timothy 2:16-18 (LEB): 16 But avoid pointless chatter, for it will progress to greater ungodliness, 17 and their message ⌊will spread⌋ like gangrene, among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have deviated concerning the truth by* saying the resurrection has already taken place, and they are upsetting the faith of some.
Not liking the WAY someone says something is not false not is it adding it taking away. Seek God with all your hearts to rightly divide the word of truth. There's only truth in what's quoted here from Mike Todd. Im no fan of his, but please be honest.
Kingdumb? Huh?
Well, we know who Todd white is. A total deceiver!
It's tragic that Mike Todd should have ever been allowed to teach his church given his lack of knowledge and understanding of the Word of God, not to mention God commanded Timothy through Paul to study to show yourself approved. 2 Timothy 2:15.
and yet more christians sure that other christians are false teachers, but the christians making the accusations can't show that they aren't false teachers. The christian circular firing squad strikes again.
Friend, if you cant tell Mike Todd is a false teacher. You are either a recent convert, or you have not read the Bible.
There is no circular firing squad.
@@TyXDaJedi ROFL. Yep, dear, each christian thinks that their favorite couldn't possibly be false. As I pointed out, it's just a lovely christian circular firing squad.
@@velkyn1 lol okay buddy.
@@TyXDaJedi yep, the typical answer of a Christian who can't show that I am wrong.
" lol okay buddy."
@velkyn1 study the word of God then watch Todds "easter performance". Glory to God
