11 Reasons to Reject the “World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People” Movement - Part 2

11 Reasons to Reject the “World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People” Movement - Part 2 by Sandy Simpson, Apologetics Coordination Team, March 2006 The “Indigenous People” (hereafter IPM) or “First Nations” movement is an unbiblical movement teaching heresies and even doctrines of demons. It is being spread worldwide by YWAM, Don Richardson, author of Eternity In Their Hearts, John Dawson the President of YWAM, Richard Twiss of Wiconi International, Terry LeBlanc of World Vision Canada, Daniel Kikawa of Aloha Ke Akua and many other adherents. This movement has ties to the apostolic leadership of the New Apostolic Reformation and C. Peter Wagner. A number of the announced speakers at their A Call To All Nations conference in Honolulu were also on the Aloha Ke Akua “Advisory Board” including John Dawson, Richard Twiss, Terry LeBlanc and Don Richardson. You can go to their site for more information about these people. One thing you will notice is that people involved with YWAM play a major role in the promotion of this agenda and conferences around the world. Daniel Kikawa and his book Perpetuated In Righteousness, as well as the teaching of the First Nations, YWAM and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), lay the basis for the ideas put forth by this movement. Kikawa's book was endorsed by John Dawson of YWAM. YWAM is firmly a part of the NAR which is headed by C. Peter Wagner, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs,Dutch Sheets, Bill Hamon, Tommy Tenney, Mike Bickle and includes hundreds of other false apostles, false prophets and false teachers. The IPM is full of the false teachings of the Third Wave, NAR, Word-Faith, Dominionism, Latter Rain and many other false theological systems. But it does have its own distinctives that are driven by the works of Daniel Kikawa,Richard Twiss, John Dawson and Don Richardson in particular. They are teaching Christians to “redeem” their cultures by worshipping their former gods, pretending they are YHWH. But when Jesus Christ was first introduced to the islands He was introduced as the biblical Jesus Christ, the Son of David, born a Jew, the second person in the Triunity of God. Jesus was NOT introduced as Pele or ‘Io of Hawaii, as Tagaloa of the Marshalls, Nahnsapwe of Pohnpei, Wonofaat of Chuuk, Uchelianged of Palau, Yalafath of Yap, Puntan and Fu’una of Guam or any other mythological or demonic god. To call Jesus by these other names is to blaspheme His name (Phil. 2:9-10)! There is salvation in only one Name under heaven … that is the Name of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12). We are to worship God by His Name, not by other names. 27 times the New Testament declares that we are to follow God in the name of Jesus Christ.1 I believe it is time for islanders to take a stand against these false teachings coming into the island churches. I personally stand fully against this influx of “First Nations” unbiblical ideas, and I do so because the ongoing ministry of my family for 44 years has been to minister alongside the churches of Micronesia in the furtherance of the Gospel. We love the island people! For people like Richard Twiss and Daniel Kikawa to teach the heresy they are teaching constitutes an ALL OUT ATTACK on mission and church work in the islands. I want to give you eleven reasons, among many more I could cite, to reject the Indigenous People Movement (IPM) and its leadership as unbiblical, and in some cases, heretical.
