I have a question for anyone who attended SOMA NorthWest or is part of TPC
what books did Mike have people read? Because here in Sacramento Tony Cunningham used a couple of books to help set up his false teachings?
I recall:
“Under Cover” by John Bevere a book that promotes a false teaching of spiritual authority or the “covering.” Covering Theology or as I will call it the "Covering" Heresy
The warning sign that the Lord used to show me that this pastor Tony was going down the wrong path was his teaching called "Spiritual Parenting." He would justify his premise with the verse that Paul referred to Timothy as his spiritual son. What Tony did wrong was encourage students to renounce there parents ways authority and gifting and submit to someone in the church who was more spiritual than there parents or an elder or pastor. This tied in with his false teaching of Spiritual Authority that salvation was through being submitted to the Lord, That was done by submitting to the authorities that God has put into place in the church.
I took that teaching and compared that to the 10 commandments. Wow not only did this teaching violate the 5th commandment “
Children obey your parents..” but #8 You shall not steal.'
"Steel children" that's right tony you have stolen children that are not yours! #10 You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
Coveting your neighbors Children. I started using the 10 commandments as a filter or mirror to test all that this false teacher was teaching.
Oher books he promoted were “the Shack”
"The Shack" by William P. Young This book that paints God as being a large African woman. a book that devalues the nature of God as being human. The author denies the trinity, being the Father Son and Holy Spirit or as the old hymnal the Doxology says "God in three persons, blessed trinity."
The author promotes his own Universalism beliefs.to read a gripping review of the shack see [

This book is full of Universalism and rejects Christianity!
Tony had two books that he wrote
"the moment of becoming" This book promoted a works based performance driven since of earning or working out ones salvation.
I can not remember the title of the second book.
Tony also defended on rare occasions other TV ministers like
Benny Hinn does any one else recall any others?
Musicians like Philips Craig and Dean are also non Trinitarian
Yes there are many imposers out there can you recognize them? Use the 10 commandments as a quick check or comparison to any teaching you might come across. For example
