On another cut entitled “Come into is House,” sung to aheavy rap style, Carman says:“I’ve got news you can choose/ You need to be delivered/ withChrist you win/ without Christ you lose/ BUT IF YOU JAMWITH THE LAMB, YOU’RE SMOOTH/ Cut out the jive, cutinto church/ You need a healing’ touch/ A big strong hand/Come rock with the flock/ with the brothers that jam.”e title cut on that album has this flippant message:“Addictions you know/ Everybody’s got ‘em/ From the top tothe very/ bottom of the list/ So come get with this/ Anaddiction you don’t wanna miss/ To Christ who paid the price.”Carman’s unscriptural and dangerous charismatic theologycomes across loud and clear in his music. In the song “Satan,Bite the Dust,” Carman claims that he has “been sent with awarrant from the body of Christ” to arrest the devil and torun every unclean spirit out of town. He claims to have theauthority to cast out “depression, strife, disease and fear.” Inthis strange song Carman asserts, “Satan, you coward, youmolester of souls, I command you to appear.” e apostlePeter, though, tells us that even the angels do not bring railingaccusations against the devil (2 Peter 2:11). Nowhere in theNew Testament Scriptures do we see the apostles and earlyChristians speaking to the devil in this manner. Carman thensings: “I represent a whole new breed of Christian of today.And I’m authorized and deputized to blow you [Satan] cleanaway.” is is a probable reference to the New Order of theLatter Rain theology which claims that Christ’s return will bepreceded by a miracle revival whereby Christians willperform miracles and exercise kingdom authority over thepowers of this present world. Some of the “prophets” whichwere popularized by John Wimber and the Vineyardmovement, men such as Bob Jones and Paul Cain, claim thatGod is raising up a “new breed” of end-time Christian whowill take complete authority over the Devil.
