Novelty of Deliverance Ministry
- Deliverance ministry is a recent movement, gaining prominence in the last century.
- Its practices, emphasizing repentance and knowledge of demonic causes, differ from Jesus's model.
Scriptural Basis for Deliverance
- Deliverance practices are often speculative and extra-biblical, varying widely.
- Unlike baptism, deliverance lacks scriptural commands or models for Christian practice.
Misinterpreting Exodus 20
- Neil Anderson's teachings on generational curses misinterpret Exodus 20:4-6.
- These verses address Israel's corporate responsibility, not individual curses from ancestral sins.
