Latter Rain Movement

Heretical movement popularized by Franklin Hall, William Branham, George Warnock, John Robert Stevens, etcetera. Elements of Latter Rain teachings are today being taught within certain renewal and revival movements.

Considered to be one of today's most dangerous false teachings in the church, the movement's doctrines are taught and supported by a wide range of controversial teachers. They include Rick Joyner, C. Peter Wagner, Paul Cain, Cindy Jacobs, Bill Hamon, and countless others.

We can sum up the Latter Rain or Dominion teaching this way:

the Church must be restored and equipped to rule by the five-fold ministries.
it must come to perfection and complete visible UNITY.
out of the purified church will come a spiritual elite corps, a Corporate Christ who possess the
Spirit without measure
they will purge the earth of all wickedness and rebellion
they will judge the apostate Church
they will redeem all creation, and restore the earth
they will eventually overcome death itself in a counterfeit of the Rapture
the Church will thus inherit the earth, and rule over it from the Throne of Christ.
