Full Article
In this episode of NAR to Christ with Dawn Hill, Dawn Hill examines unbiblical teachings and practices within the New Apostolic Reformation and the hyper-charismatic movement.
Dawn begins by revisiting the false teaching of the so-called spirit spouse, showing that it does not come from Scripture but from pagan and occult belief systems. She explains why Christians must reject teachings that borrow from extra-biblical sources and instead return to the sufficiency of God’s Word.
She then turns to the practice of fire tunnels, especially as promoted through Bethel influence, and examines whether these practices have any biblical basis. The answer is nowhere in Scripture. Fire tunnels are not prescribed in God’s Word, nor are believers instructed to pursue impartations through such experiences.
Scripture calls believers to sobriety, discernment, and self-control. Every teaching and every claimed spiritual practice must be tested by the written Word of God.
Dawn also addresses ongoing concerns surrounding Bethel, noting that false doctrine does not remain harmless. It shapes people, influences churches, and ultimately leads away from the truth of Christ.
This episode serves as both a warning and a pastoral exhortation to return to the sufficiency, clarity, and authority of Scripture.

- Are my beliefs rooted in Scripture or in extra-biblical claims?
