‘ELLEL’ & ‘NEW HEART’ MINISTRIES: IHOP: JOHN CROWDER: THEIR ‘INTER-CONNECTEDNESS’.
On 7th July 2015 a friend posted the following on my Facebook ‘timeline’ –
PHIL JOHNSON on Charismaniac JOHN CROWDER (who is coming to speak in Ballyclare Northern Ireland)
“And now there’s a group led by a man named JOHN CROWDER who pretends the Holy Spirit is a supernatural narcotic that will put you into a thick, inebriated stupor. Some of his stuff is the rankest blasphemy. He says he is “tokin’ the Ghost,” or “smoking Jehovah-juana.” Sometimes he gets downright obscene, and if you have never seen him before you’ll be tempted to think he is an unbeliever doing a bad parody, but he is not. He claims the Holy Spirit makes him act this way.”
The full text of what PHIL JOHNSON said in his talk entitled ‘Is There a Baby in the Charismatic Bathwater?’ and in which he mentions JOHN CROWDER can be accessed on –
Many claims are made in contrasting realms of professing Christianity, from the extreme hyper-charismatic wing to the conservative missionary-minded wing, that God is still today communicating with people via extra-biblical means such as ‘dreams, visions, divine voices and appearances’.
On 9th June 2015 Phil Johnson, Executive Director of “Grace to You” (linked to John MacArthur) was interviewed on this topic by Chris Arnzen, host of the Christian radio program called ‘Iron Sharpens Iron’.
As many will know I have over the years spoken and also written articles warning of the deficiencies and dangers enshrined in The ALPHA Course. These resources can be viewed on

Yesterday I was alerted to details of the most recent Alpha Leadership Conference and in response I placed a post on my Facebook site. As yet I have not had time to listen to any of the contributions but I think you will see from what I wrote in my post that the true cause of Christ would not have been genuinely helped.
This was my Facebook post
If anyone doubts the spiritually pernicious nature of THE ALPHA COURSE and those associated with it (like NICKY GUMBEL) then simply go to the link I will give and see who some of the guest speakers/contributors were at the recent ALPHA LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE held in London.
Amongst those contributing were –
‘FATHER’ Raniero Cantalmessaa (THE Papal Preacher)
‘CARDINAL’ Vincent Nicholls (Head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales)
JOYCE MEYER
Other names are also mentioned and no doubt they may well have contributed to this diabolical misrepresentation of The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Church He is building.
