description <strong>of</strong> the Beatles and their music. us, the believeris commanded to have NO fellowship with it, but rather toreprove it. at is what I determined to do 38 years ago whenthe Lord opened my eyes to this matter, and my convictionabout the moral danger <strong>of</strong> rock and the necessity <strong>of</strong>separating from it has grown stronger with the passing years.Separation from the world is not popular today but God’sWord commands it, and the truth has never been foundamong the majority in this sin-cursed world. In fact, in light<strong>of</strong> Bible prophecy (e.g., 2 Tim. 3:1-5, 13; 4:3-4) we cannotexpect the truth to be found among the majority <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essingChristians in these last days. For more on this see “eBeatles and <strong>Contemporary</strong> Christian Music,” http://www.way<strong>of</strong>life.org/database/beatlesandccm.htmlMatt Redman’s radical ecumenism and spiritualcarelessness is evident in that he is scheduled to participate inthe National <strong>Worship</strong> Leader Conference in 2011. Aprominent speaker at the conference is Leonard Sweet whopromotes a wide variety <strong>of</strong> New Age heresies. He calls hisuniversalist-tinged doctrine New Light and “quantumspirituality” and “the Christ consciousness” and describes itin terms <strong>of</strong> “the union <strong>of</strong> the human with the divine” which isthe “center feature <strong>of</strong> all the world’s religions” (QuantumSpirituality, p. 235). He defines the New Light as “a structure<strong>of</strong> human becoming, a channeling <strong>of</strong> Christ energies throughmindbody experience” (Quantum Spirituality, p. 70). Sweetsays that “New Light pastors” hold the doctrine <strong>of</strong>“embodiment <strong>of</strong> God in the very substance <strong>of</strong> creation” (p.124). In Carpe Mañana, Sweet says that the earth is as much apart <strong>of</strong> the body <strong>of</strong> Christ as humans and that humanity andthe earth constitutes “a cosmic body <strong>of</strong> Christ” (p. 124). Sweetsays that some <strong>of</strong> the “New Light leaders” that haveinfluenced his thinking are Matthew Fox, M. Scott Peck,Willis Harman, and Ken Wilber. ese are prominent NewAgers who believe in the divinity <strong>of</strong> man, as we havedocumented in the book e New Age Tower <strong>of</strong> Babel.
