of the creation of false churches (e.g., 1 Timothy 4; 2 Timothy3-4; 2 Peter 2; 1 John 2,4; Jude; Revelation 17). If God sees alldenominations as a part of His one body, where are the falseteachers? Where are the false churches? Where is the spirit ofantichrist?e following is from another interview:“I’m just pro-Jesus. I’ll go into any church where His name ishonored. I don’t know where it will take me. I just know thatChristians need to love each other” (Phil Keaggy, cited by DaveUbanski, “Fret Not,” CCM Magazine, Nov. 1998, p. 36).is sentiment is the recipe for the formation of theapostate one-world “church.” It sounds good to many, butKeaggy ignores the Bible’s warning that there are false christs(2 Cor. 11:3-4). e “Jesus” honored by many churches is anunscriptural Jesus, and the Bible warns that God’s people arenot to fellowship with these (2 John 10-11). Christian love isimportant, but the Bible says that true love is obeying God’scommandments (1 John 5:3). (See “False Christs and FalseGods” in this Directory of Contemporary WorshipMusicians.)In an interview with Religious Broadcasting, Keaggyfurther emphasized his ecumenical philosophy:“I think also the unity that is so necessary in the body of Christis important. I admire Charles Colson. He got a lot of flack forwriting the book, e Body, and being associated withCatholics. I was raised Catholic and my mother’s influence waspowerful in my life. I came to the Lord when she passed away.She sowed the seeds in my life for me to become a believer.ere are divisive voices out there. People who thrive ondisunity are the ones [to whom] you’ve got to say, ‘I’m notgoing to contend with this, I’m not going to argue, I’m justgoing to go about my business’” (“Saran E. Smitha andChristine Pryor, “Integrity Times Two: Michael Card and PhilKeaggy,” Religious Broadcasting, National ReligiousBroadcasters, July-August 1995).197
