I am a member of Holy Trinity Brompton, where NIcky GUmbels preaches. I can tell you quite honestly that behind the scenes the knives are out. They are such control freaks. People who disagree are punished by being excluded from all social events, and can even be surrounded by bullies and physically removed.
The real church does not have hierarchy - there is no abuse of power - as there is at HTB
My parents in law did Alpha and are now Anglicans as they say on facebook. They dont know why they are saved or what from- they do not refer to Jesus as their saviour- they dont study their Bible- they are " churchgoers" and now do tasks in the church to keep it going when its not sure wht its there at all. They do not know the gospel or the person of Jesus Christ and Toronto runs through and through it. Just read the Bible and pray- He does the rest,
No Rick- the intro should be- The Alpha course- born out of Holy Trinity Brompton which had been deceived and swathed in the Toronto blessing as had many other churches been split in two with the aggression of the hierarchy tearing lives apart saying dont touch Gods anointed and dont question and dont think. There is an excellent book called The Alpha Curse which Biblically explains why this is wrong. Another man made method to deny the power of the gospel- avoid it
Unfortunately, it seems that you who are posting here have never read The Purpose-Driven Life, nor attended an Alpha meeting.
Both are full of the Bible, including Scripture references, and are not anything but orthodox Christianity presented in a way that a dying world can understand.
Before you judge the motives of others, please check the material. It does no service to the cause of Christ to smear His servants.
I'm so glad many are not being fooled by this man R.W. God bless you, wfg, FaR and Numbersbad.
My x-pastor so exposes him by his book and his teaching tapes and my x-pastor has already gone on to be with The Lord. His name is Milton Green, my x-pastor.
God bless Milton Greek for exposing this wolf in sheep's clothing named Rick Warren, who leads unsuspecting purpose driven souls down the broad road to destruction. Take Care
He should have said "if you have done Alpha, you need to READ THE BIBLE. If you have done 40 days of purpose you need to READ THE BIBLE. Not get onto these false gospels."
Both Nicky Gumbel and Rick Warren do say to read the Bible. Watch a video called "My Search for Messiah" by Dr. Michael Rydelnik. As a child in an Orthodox Jewish home whose mother announced one day she believed Jesus was their Messiah. It broke up the family but it, eventually, transformed Dr. Rydelnik to a beautiful, believing Christian who now teaches Jewish Studies. Riveting 3-part story you can find on YouTube.
I have completed the Alpha Course and I have led an Alpha Course. In both cases I have witnessed dozens of people come in to the first session with cynical scowls and, by the end of the first few sessions, leave smiling and positive. The transformation factor of this course is astounding. The last meetings are so blessed. But Jesus never forces; he always calls. We, as individuals, have the choice about how and when we respond to His dear voice.
I could care less how many undiscerning ppl of the world fall for this nonsense. It's still wrong. Rick Warren is a servant of Satan. He must repent. His global P.E.A.C.E. plan is also heretical & antichrist.
There is ONLY ONE ALPHA RICK WARREN; THAT IS JESUS SEE REVELATION THE TESTIMONEY OF JESUS CHRIST
Rev.1:10-11 I was in the Spirit of the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as a trumphet, saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Fist and the Last.......
Alpha is about indoctrinating people. In other words, a means to control.

How does a fascist, right wing douche bag endorsing the Alpha course convince anyone?

An endorsement from Rick Warren is a good reason to avoid it like the plague.
