Bill Johnson and Bethel Church

Due to the need for continuous reference to this man and his organization, this post is a “one-stop shopping” place for collecting links to articles about Bill Johnson and his staff or other associated persons, as well as the associated “ministry” band “Jesus Culture.”  (“JC” member false teacher Kim Walker-Smith is also Bethel’s “worship leader” and/or “worship pastor.”)   This man and his organization are spiritually dangerous to the body of Christ, and one of the top most aberrational churches in America.  The following links are copied from previous posts, and may not necessarily be in chronological order.  (I will continue to add to this page as I come across more articles.)

Bill Johnson claims that God does not cause illness, and He never chooses not to heal!

A Review of Bill Johnson’s book, When Heaven Invades the Earth.

Bill Johnson helped restore false teacher/prophet Todd Bentley to “ministry.”

Did you know that God gave every believer the same power to heal that Jesus has?  That is another lie told by Bill Johnson.  I really wish those like Bill, who preach such healing powers, would spend their lives in hospitals and cure the many patients.  Or go to Africa and cure people of Ebola.  They don't do so because they are fake-healers.

Bill Johnson and Bethel Redding are part of the New Apostolic Reformation movement.

A brief summary of all of Bill Johnson’s teachings.  Nothing less than cultic.

Bill Johnson and his associate “pastor” Kris Vallotton want the mantle of heretic William Branham!

They can walk on water or walk through walls!  Scripture twisting with a vengeance.

And let’s not forget the “glory clouds” at Bethel.

More proof that Bethel Church is not about God or Jesus, but about the devil and all the distractions away from the true Faith.  Oh, but you can get Bill Johnson’s “Revival Collection” sermons on thumb drive for the bargain-basement price of $400!  On top of this, Johnson’s cult followers are incensed that this stuff has been exposed and reported!

Bad fruit from Bethel Church.

Then there are young people from Bethel church demonstrating why Johnson is such a false teacher.  The entire video is interesting, as Christians are warning people coming to Benny Hinn’s goat-pen. But at about the 45 minute mark the group from Bethel begin their false teaching, condemning the Christians for exposing a false teacher/heretic!

The cultic nature of Bethel Church.

Bill Johnson, Bethel Church and the Kundalini Spirit and other false spirituality.

More proof that Bethel Redding is not a place where the real Faith is celebrated, or the real Christ is worshipped. (Just to make a point from the title of the article, he’s canceling “debts” not “death.”)

Christianity Today Astray has an interesting article about Bethel Redding. 

Bethel’s youth leader said that Jesus asked him for forgiveness?!?

False prophetess Heidi Baker gives “impartations” at Bethel.

Heidi Baker is a frequent teacher at Bethel, and her “prophecies” get really bizarre.

Bethel has a Holy Spirit fire tunnel — and the false teaching just keeps on growing there, along with false “prophetess” Heidi Baker’s lies and impartations. It is getting less and less rare to see such absurdly unbiblical and demonic nonsense at Bethel.

Heretic Patricia King got a “prophetic word” from the Lord, and Beni Johnson thought it was so good that she shared it with the Bethel Redding congregation.  False teaching spread by false teachers — go figure!  This article shows Beni sharing it, along with other examples of King’s false teachings.

Bethel Redding has in the past claimed that angel feathers have been found in their assembly.  I don’t know if they still find them, but this article shows some of foolish false teachings there.

A new false teaching has come from Bill Johnson’s apostate Bethel Church in California: SOZO - “a psycho-spiritual deliverance and inner healing methodology” (as noted by The Berean Call).  You’ve got to read this one to believe it.

This site has a lot of thorough examination of Bethel and SOZO.

Bethel Redding - Bill Johnson’s circus of aberrant and unbiblical teaching held a healing conference.  (Be sure to examine the many links at the bottom of the article which expose the false teachings of Bethel Redding.)

Bethel Music is just as dangerous as its origin.

This article includes an introduction to just who “Jesus Culture” is and what their beliefs are.

Here is a wee bit more about “Jesus Culture” and the false teaching behind them.  Ken Silva had two very interesting articles which I highly recommend.  First, he highlights Jesus Culture’s Kim Walker-Smith and her false teachings about her encounter with God and Jesus.  The other article examines the connection between Jesus Culture, their church home of Bill Johnson’s Bethel, and rank heretic and false prophet Cindy Jacobs.

JESUS CULTURE—OF BETHEL CHURCH—AND PRACTICING RAISING THE DEAD.  This article discusses Bethel, Jesus Culture, and associate pastor Kris Vallotton, exposing occultism, claims of prophetic office, false teaching, poor hermeneutics, etc.

A video — 1 hr 10 min long — exposing the theology of Jesus Culture: occultism, slain in the spirit, spiritual drunkenness, holy laughter, false signs and wonders, etc.

Jesus Culture’s Kim Walker-Smith claims to have seen God.

Additional information about Johnson and Jesus Culture, and including highlighting false prophetesses Patricia King and Cindy Jacobs and their association with Bethel.

This video demonstrates some of the occultic ideas Jesus Culture professes, including getting an imparting of the Spirit from dead people - they pray to “release the anointing of God” from the corpse of a dead man (“grave sucking”). They claim to know that God is healing someone as they speak - not just once, but at least twice in the video.  This group is dangerous to non-discerning Christians; and they are “more dangerous than bad politics.”  And don’t forget that they are a ministry of Bill Johnson’s church, which, again, demonstrates the nature of the false teaching HE propagates.

Somebody Needs to Set Jesus Culture’s Worship Music on Fire.

“Pastor” Kris Vallotton embraces anti-trinitarianism.

Weird New Age teachings at Bethel, and their prayer house is topped by a pyramid!

Understanding Johnson’s teaching via this review of his book, When Heaven Invades Earth.

Bethel Church pimping heresy.

Tyler Johnson, another Bethel charlatan, this time with a “Dead Raising Team.”

AAAANNNNDDDD, Bill Johnson recommends heretic Todd Bentley.  One false teacher pimping another false teacher.

What are Bill Johnson's heresies?

Todd White and his church Bethel Redding are 100% frauds and tools of Satan.

Bethel continues to prove how heretical it is: Benny Hinn was there for an evening service!

Their horrid indoctrination of children into heresy and apostasy. 

A very good examination of Bill Johnson’s teachings.

What about their "Supernatural School of Ministry"?

Bethel Redding teaches “Firestarters,” to “activate” your prophetic gift.  Cranking out more false prophets.

Bethel Church’s Bill Johnson’s SOZO “ministry” is very, very dangerous.

Bethel Redding and SOZO.  Long video, but very informative about such horrendous false teachings.

Bethel, Hillsong, and associated false teachers are going to “bring Heaven to Earth.”  Just look at the names of the participants to know who to avoid.

More information about Bethel and Bill Johnson.  This place is really bad news.

Bethel Redding is really a very ugly institution pretending to be a Christian assembly. And if this isn’t enough information for proof, try this one.  Then the plot thickens.  And thickens again.

The ignorance and dangerous ideology of Bethel Redding “pastor” Kris Vallotton.

Bizarre NAR activities at Bethel Redding.  That place is NOT Christian.

Kris Vallotton of Bethel Redding is a blatant false teacher — really.   The heresy at Bethel gets deeper as a children’s “pastor” teaches telepathy.

Bill Johnson’s heresy.

The NAR and Bethel just get more and more bizarre.

More on Christalignment.  Kris Vallotton of Bethel Redding has approved of this group.  There is nothing Christian about this.

Proof positive that Bethel’s Kris Vallotton preaches a gospel of wealth.

A “glory cloud” at Bethel, and a man who is an example of a “charismaniac.”  Believing foolish stuff like this is how people get deceived into cults.

More false claims of healing by Bill Johnson and Bethel Redding church.

Bethel Redding can’t get bizarre enough. They teach more and more Word of Faith theology (“little gods”) and false signs and wonders.
