Several years ago, a particular gospel landed on the Southern shores of the United States. You might say, that the American Church was invaded. A gospel of laughter, of jokes, a gospel of foolishness. I remember seeing this, just a few weeks perhaps after this all began, I looked at it and I said, to my wife, well at least it takes absolutely no discernment to see what this lunacy is. And then much to my shock, it swept almost the whole Western world, great quarters of the charismatic Pentecostal movement. I remember crying out to God, God how could it be, how could it be! How could this thing happen to your church! You see folks, we’ve forgotten something. Here we are in New York, and the twin towers have come down, and the Pentagon has been attacked. And rightfully we can say the walls are down, and the justice of God is touching a nation that has rejected truth. But we forget that judgment begins in the house of God! The arrival of this gospel was the judgment of God on a slumbering church! A church that wanted prosperity and security–they wanted no cross, no Word, no repentance, no cutting of the sword, no living water! They wanted to FEEL GOOD! And so God, you see in the Old Testament, has poured a spirit of drunkenness, on what called itself the church of Jesus Christ. IT WAS THE JUDGMENT OF GOD! It began in the church, and I remember saying to other people, it will not be long, and the judgment will be touching the shores of North America. Because it’s begun in the house of God. I knew it when this started that judgment was at the door…Your people have been taken captive by Baal!…Beloved church, get away from their altars! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

20:36 – Pastor Carter refers to the born again experience as “the exchanged life,” as Hudson Taylor had put it.

49:40-54:20 – Pastor Carter is referring to Rodney Howard-Browne’s anti-repentance, Hell rejecting, atonement rejecting, EASY BELIEVISM, HYPER-GRACE, happy laughing, prosperity message as the cause of the September 11 attacks.

1:12:45 – Pastor Carter weeps over all these charismatics turning their back on Hell, repentance, and the cross and embracing the worship of materialism and “happy happy joy joy” INSTEAD of the traditional Gospel message preached by John Wesley, Charles Finney, D. L. Moody, Hudson Taylor, Billy Graham, Leonard Ravenhill, and David Wilkerson.

I bet you thought that I was dead and gone
You wouldn’t know that something’s even wrong
And when you’re lyin’ on the silver tracks
No difference to me

And you don’t know that you’re a sacrifice
All my tears are turning into ice
And people, when the sky is turning black
You’ll know that it’s me

Are you savin’, are you savin’ it for me?
Are you savin’ all your precious love for me?
Are you savin’, are you savin’ it for me?
Are you savin’ all your precious love for me?

Baal’s back!

I bet you thought that I was dead and gone
You wouldn’t know that something’s even wrong
And people, when the sky is turning black
You’ll know that it’s me

Are you savin’, are you savin’ it for me?
Are you savin’ all your precious love for me?
Are you savin’, are you savin’ it for me?
Are you savin’ all your precious love for me?

Baal’s back!
Baal’s back!
Baal’s back!
