Dr. Michael Horton of Westminster Seminary

Michael Horton of White Horse Inn	Dr. Michael Horton, or radio show White Horse Inn, preaches a liberal gospel, or a false gospel, as he condemns the evangelical right wing Bible fundamentalist.

On the one hand, Horton will strongly state that we are saved by FAITH ALONE. On the other hand, he states repeatedly that water baptism is the "means of grace" by which we are saved. This is obviously a contradiction. We cannot be saved by FAITH ALONE and FAITH plus BAPTISM at the same time. It has to be one or the other. Of course, the problem is that Horton redefines Grace and Faith in light of his Covenant beliefs. The fact remains, however, that the act of baptism is a work, and Grace and works are mutually exclusive (Rom. 11:6).

The Bible is clear that the GOSPEL is distinct from WATER BAPTISM (1 Cor. 1:17). The Gospel is that "... Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. ... That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed" (1 Cor. 15:3b-4; Rom. 10:9-11). Baptism then follows as a symbol or testimony of our
identification with Christ (1 Pe. 3:18-21).

Power Religion is subtitled The Selling Out of the Evangelical Church. We think it is Horton who has sold out. Again, the big names are not targeted. Instead, some of them are the authors of the book's individual chapters! (Others have apparently been deemed untouchable by the book's neo-evangelical publisher, The Moody Bible Institute's Moody Press.) Called on by Mike Horton to author chapters in Power Religion are ecumenical, neo-evangelical, Catholic-sympathizers Charles Colson and J.I. Packer (both of whom signed the ECT document -- see section below on "The Roman Catholic connection"); pop-psychologizer R.C. Sproul; psychological integrationists Don Matzat, David Powlison, and Ed Welch; and some lesser known names affiliated with the neo-evangelical, psychologized Trinity International University/Evangelical Free Church of America (Don Carson, Bill Hull, and Tom Nettles). Horton works at Westminster West Seminary. The book purports to be a critique of Christian activism ("Power Politics"), the signs and wonders movement ("Power Evangelism"), the church growth movement ("Power Growth"), psychology ("Power Within"), and personality cults ("Power Preachers"). Yet Horton claims that we can still learn something from the purveyors of these heresies! Michael Horton teaches the false sacramental gospel, he has exhibited a fondness for the psychological gospel and those who teach it, and he supports ecumenical efforts with Rome. Horton and the various ACE ministries should be avoided.

Calendar Magnets help us measure our Time

Calendar magnets are thin flexible magnets faced with a calendar. Usually, the facing covers a full twelve-month period and includes the name and contact information for a business or non-profit organization. Magnets of this type are popular promotional tools, and are usually offered to existing customers as well as prospects. Calendar Magnets cheap - There are several different types of calendar magnets used as promotional materials. The basic magnet is a small calendar that easily adheres to the side or front of a metal filing cabinet. This is a great way to have a full year calendar available at a glance. In addition to being convenient, the fact that the magnetic calendar also features the name and phone number for a vendor makes the device an inexpensive but effective public relations tool.
The cheap Calendar Magnets - Along with the small promotional calendars, there are also larger versions that are similar in size and function to a desk blotter calendar. The face of these calendar magnets includes thirty-one squares that are large enough to create a calendar for the current month. There is also room to write notes in each of the squares, making the calendar magnet very handy in an office or home. While larger, the magnetic calendar will still fit comfortably on the side of a file cabinet or refrigerator. Magnetic calendars cheap prices
