I've been to a church this morning and i've seen some books by Harold R. Eberle there on display and also a book by an apostate teacher, i forgot the name..
On the website of that church [it's a dutch church], i saw the names of these three people.
I also stood through a worship service with praise and also much open prayer in tongues.
Then the service was led by a young female telling about a change from following the leaders to being guided by leaders while choosing one's own direction.
I'm curious, are James Berkley, John S. Garfield and Harold R. Eberle scripturally sound or are they apostates?

From what I've seen of their websites, Berkley and Eberle are Latter Rain theologists - which is doctrinally unsound, which puts them into the apostate mold.
The key words Latter Rain proponents use, which can be noted on their websites are : elijah commission and Welcome to Worldcast Ministries (formerly Winepress Ministries) and judah praise center the above term clearly denotes replacement theology which in itself is what Latter Rain theology is based on. Rick Wilson carries a powerful revival anointing - that without a doubt is Latter Rain, as they expect a great revival in the last days - whereas the Bible clearly states there will be a great apostasy.
As far as Garfield is concerned : God wants to bless you so you can bless others. Prosperity gospel - to the core = doctrinally unsound. And it's mixed with Latter Rain theology: Releasing Kings shows how you can be part of the next global revival that is beginning in the marketplace
What’s a King? "Kings" is the term we use to describe men and women who harness wealth and influence in the marketplace…in business, government, communication, education, entertainment, finance, the arts…to expand God's Kingdom. This is a lie - a heresy.
All are apostates.

Thank you very much, this is a great help.
I knew there was something amiss with these authors.
I already decided to never venture to that congregation anymore.
I wish i finally could find a decent congregation, one that is biblically sound and steadfast in the Word of God.
It's so lonely here without fellow christians to talk to.
It seems as if most of the young christians are deceived by apostasy and are also not concerned with the fate of a not world-conforming fellow christian.
Sometimes it depresses me and i would appreciate prayer.

Join the club, you aren't alone in your thinking nor in trying to find a biblically sound church! I'm in the same boat. Will pray for you :-)
