Tongues: Misuse Causes Confusion
Speaking in tongues without interpretation causes confusion and lacks biblical order.
Tongues is not a test of salvation; evidence of the Spirit includes many fruits like patience and kindness.
insights INSIGHT
Tongues Elevation Divides Church
Tongues is often elevated because it appears supernatural and spiritual maturity is wrongly judged by it.
This distinction creates harmful divisions of "haves" and "have-nots" in the church.
insights INSIGHT
Prosperity Gospel Misunderstands Wealth
The prosperity gospel misrepresents wealth as a guaranteed part of salvation.
Many faithful Christians, including Jesus and the apostles, were not financially prosperous.

Misled: Seven Lies That Distort the Gospel and How You Can Discern the Truth
Alan Parr
When spiritual gifts become spiritual chains: YouTube’s Allen Parr joins us to expose how false teachings are holding believers captive to unbiblical requirements.
In this powerful episode of Remnant Radio, Josh Lewis and Michael Rowntree sit down with Allen Parr, creator of The Beat and author of Misled: 7 Lies That Distort the Gospel. We explore the heart of false gospel messages that have crept into the charismatic and Pentecostal movements—touching on everything from tongues without interpretation, to the health and wealth gospel, to the dangerous claim that speaking in tongues is necessary for salvation.
We discuss how teachings that seem biblical on the surface can lead believers far from the gospel clarity found in Christ alone. If you're wrestling with discernment in the church or questioning teachings on spiritual gifts, seed faith doctrine, or the role of the Holy Spirit, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
