REDEDICATE 250 #15: DOMINION THEOLOGY PRIMER

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]Hi, and welcome to Pellegrino Walk. My name is Kevin, and we've been talking about noble lies.

[00:00:06]Noble lies from the government, now from the church and the platforms, and we saw a lot of it at ReDedicate 250. I thought it was important to do a quick video on the lie of dominionism because that's what we saw clearly portrayed by almost everyone on the platform.

[00:00:27]Uh that's the lie that's being perpetrated by the NAR, the New Apostolic Reformation. For those of you who don't know about the New Apostolic Reformation, again a a decentralized movement that is uh sweeping the globe with theologies from the heretical Latter Rain of 1948, and they generally hold to dominionism or some form of it because it's all about the here and now. It's all about this earth. It's all about this time.

[00:01:00]Everything from the future, the millennium, the marriage supper of the lamb, the eternal uh the the sons of God, manifestation of the sons of God that will occur after our glorification has been brought right to the here and now. So, I think we need to look at this real quick. I want to go over an article by Sarah Leslie. We've been doing another series called Dominion with Sarah Leslie's article on what is dominionism. This is a different article altogether. I'm going to put the link in the description. Really great article.

[00:01:37]If you got a chance, read it all. I'm just going to read a few paragraphs from it because I think it's important uh for those who don't know what's going on. Uh those of you who are in the church and you you've either been sheltered from this idea of dominion or maybe you've just fallen away from the Lord and you're coming back.

[00:01:59]Whatever it may be.

[00:02:01]The church is individual churches are turning. Pastors are turning from sound theology to this idea that presence is coming back to the temple. We'll explain that more as we move along, but for right now, want to go into this article real quick. And the article is Dominionism and the rise of Christian imperialism. Um going to skip over some of this right here, but that idea of Christian imperialism Wow, we see that on the platform this weekend, right? We're seeing this in the Christian nationalists.

[00:02:41]And Barb and I are holding on to Jesus.

[00:02:44]We're just walking as pilgrims on a on a road. I've nothing to do with the idea of political takeover and Jesus nor did the apostles want to do that. So, we're we're trying to step out of this system, this false system, and this false church that's rising that so embraces the idea of perfection and dominion.

[00:03:11]So, Dominionism in brief, throughout the 2,000-year history of Christianity, there's always been a vein of Dominionism embedded in the strata of doctrines.

[00:03:23]This seam has ebbed and flowed for 20 centuries. Sometimes submerged, sometimes exposed.

[00:03:31]Whenever out in the open, it has given the rise to horrible abuses done in the name of Christ.

[00:03:37]In the early 21st century, once again, this vein is now showing an active. Keep in mind two bullet points. First, Dominionism is always an aberration of true Christian theology.

[00:03:52]Number two, a remnant of believers has always opposed it. Often suffering a martyr's fate at the hands of intolerant dominionists. This idea of dominion as it was brought to us on the platform of re-dedicate 250 is not biblical. Is not a part of true Christian theology.

[00:04:17]And the ones that oppose it are always going to be the ones that are called accusers of the brethren or going to be persecuted in some way. It's the same as the the Catholic Church that emerged with the inquisitions and all the bloodshed throughout the years even on the Protestant side. The bloodshed that happened because church and state were married. Believers need to come out. Come out of it.

[00:04:47]Okay, Sarah Leslie goes on to say traditional Christianity teaches the gospel of salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and his shed blood on the cross.

[00:04:56]The emphasis is placed upon repentance and conversion of individual souls.

[00:05:01]The kingdom of God in this age is spiritual and grows through efforts of evangelism based on teaching the Bible.

[00:05:10]It is not of this world, John 18:36, but a spiritual rule in the hearts of men, Luke 17:20-21.

[00:05:19]Furthermore, the kingdom of God is only finally realized upon Christ's second return to earth whereby he himself establishes his literal and physical reign.

[00:05:33]Let me emphasize that again. Jesus is coming back. Jesus is going to put his feet on the ground here. Jesus will do it himself. It is his literal physical reign. We've sped up the eschatological time clock. We've taken it from the future and we've brought it to the here and now. The evangelism mandate by word and spirit. This is by Matthew Henry. Those of you who've read his commentaries, uh he was a nonconformist.

[00:06:07]Yeah, I kind of like that title.

[00:06:10]Christ never intended that his gospel should be propagated by fire and sword or his righteousness wrought by the wrath of man.

[00:06:19]When the high praises of God are in our mouth, with them we should have an olive branch of peace in our hands.

[00:06:26]Christ's victories are by the power of his gospel and grace over spiritual enemies, in which all believers are more than conquerors.

[00:06:36]The word of God is the two-edged sword, Hebrews 4:12, the sword of the spirit, Ephesians 6:17.

[00:06:45]Folks, fire, sword, by government, uh Christians getting involved in uh taking the seven mountains is not what Jesus intended at all. This is false.

[00:06:59]So, here's what dominionism teaches, and this is what most of the people believed on the platform. I would say all the people believed on the platform this weekend, with the exception of maybe the the Jewish rabbi.

[00:07:12]The gospel of salvation is achieved by setting up the kingdom of God as a literal, physical kingdom to be advanced.

[00:07:22]So, notice what she says there. The gospel of salvation is achieved by setting up the kingdom of God. They've changed the gospel. So, this is a literal and physical kingdom to be advanced on earth in the present age.

[00:07:36]Some dominionists liken the New Testament kingdom to the Old Testament Israel.

[00:07:40]Isn't that exactly what's going on this weekend?

[00:07:45]Rededicate 250? Rededicating America in a covenant with God?

[00:07:51]That was only Israel, folks.

[00:07:54]And sadly, this is what Sarah Leslie is saying here. Some dominionists liken the New Testament kingdom to the Old Testament Israel in ways that justify taking up the sword.

[00:08:05]Uh where does this all go? So, this weekend, this idea of America being a a Christian nation, the idea of these dominionists taking over and having rulership in some way. Where does this go? It always goes to death of the dissenters or to or to purge.

[00:08:25]Or maybe there's other methods of punitive judgment to war against enemies of their kingdom. Dominionists teach that men can be coerced or compelled That is not biblical. That is not the Jesus of the Bible.

[00:08:44]They assign to the church duties and rights that belong scripturally only to Jesus Christ. We've kind of talked about that.

[00:08:54]Um but they kind of want to become Christ.

[00:08:58]They kind of want to become perfected and deified just like Jesus and speak to the Father in the same way that Jesus did. This movement did not come from the Jesus of the Bible.

[00:09:12]It came from the enemy of our souls.

[00:09:15]Sarah Leslie goes on to say, "This includes the esoteric belief that believers can incarnate Christ." Isn't that interesting? We just said that, becoming Christ, right? And function as his body on earth to establish his kingdom rule.

[00:09:28]An inordinate emphasis is placed on man's effort, the doctrine of the sovereignty of God is diminished. They actually believe that Christ is going to incarnate us. We're going to be possessed by God.

[00:09:45]The presence is coming back, folks. The presence is coming back.

[00:09:48]And I urge you and plead with you to stay away from this presence. This is not the Holy Spirit.

[00:09:56]The new dominion mandate by control.

[00:09:58]This is from Al Dager's book, Vengeance is Ours, The Church and Dominion.

[00:10:02]Excellent book.

[00:10:04]Uh certainly encourage you to get that book and read it. Dominion theology is predicated upon three basic beliefs.

[00:10:11]Number one, Satan usurped man's dominion over the earth through the temptation of Adam and Eve. Um not true, not biblical, number one.

[00:10:20]Number two, the church is God's instrument to take dominion back from Satan. Once again, scripture is misinterpreted. I don't have time to go into any of this right now cuz this is simply an overview. So, I want to continue. Number three, Jesus cannot and will not return until the church has taken dominion by gaining control of the earth's governmental and societal institutions. Absolutely, completely unbiblical, and in fact, demonic.

[00:10:51]Brothers and sisters, man never lost dominion. This is This is a made-up system. It's It's make-believe, but sadly, it's brilliant. And the only one that could have thought of this is Satan himself because this seems to be the way that the church is going, and they're going to want you to get dragged into this. And we're trying to get you to come out.

[00:11:14]Sarah Leslie goes on to say, and we're only going to read a couple more paragraphs. Dominion theology is a heresy. As such, it is rarely presented as openly as the definitions above may indicate. Outside of the reconstructionist camp, which was a reformed group in the '50s, '60s, a guy by the name of Rousas Rushdoony Gary North, a number of other individuals and that reconstructionist camp merged with kingdom theology in the 1980s and created what we have today in the NAR.

[00:11:50]Plus a whole host of other dominionist doctrines from the latter rain stayed underground and eventually came up reared its ugly head in the 80s as well. Evangelical dominionism has wrapped itself in slick packages. Listen to some of what Sarah Leslie has to say here cuz it's very, very important. One piece at a time for mass media consumption. Where she's going with this is going to sound interesting for those of you who understand Alice Bailey, the Luciferian Alice Bailey.

[00:12:28]This has been a slow process taking several decades. Does anyone remember Alice Bailey's plan? Her idea to infiltrate the church with change agents or what she called forerunners. These ones that would go forth and make changes slowly over decades. She said this back probably in the 1940s and mentioned that maybe mankind will be ready for an externalization of the hierarchy in 2025.

[00:13:01]It's a lot of years there.

[00:13:03]The interesting thing about all this is what Sarah Leslie is indicating here is that it's going to be a slow process taking several decades to get dominion theology to be bought in by the church. This was the same kind of plan as Alice Bailey as she talked quite a bit about the kingdom and the kingdom coming now.

[00:13:29]Few evangelicals would recognize the word dominionism or know what it means.

[00:13:34]Again, this article was written probably 25 years ago, I'm guessing.

[00:13:39]Uh so so now maybe a lot more would know what dominionism means, but this is at a little bit different time.

[00:13:47]This is because other terminologies have been developed which soft sell dominionism, concealing the full scope of the agenda. Of course, that's a again, uh a noble lie right there, you know, using deception to get the end that you want to achieve. Many evangelicals and even their more conservative counterparts, the fundamentalists, may adhere to tidbits of dominionism without recognizing the error.

[00:14:15]We've been saying for a long time the threads of this is in the denominations now. It's all over the world in missions organizations.

[00:14:23]She goes on to say, "This is because dominionism has crept in unawares, Jude 4, to seduce an undiscerning generation."

[00:14:31]And folks, frankly, it did.

[00:14:34]The church was completely asleep to this.

[00:14:37]To most effectively propagate their agenda, dominionist leaders first developed new ecclesiologies, eschatologies, and soteriologies.

[00:14:47]So, ecclesiologies, uh theology of the church, eschatology, end times, soteriologies, salvation. For targeted audiences along the major denominational fault lines of evangelical Christianity. This is incredibly important. Then in the 1990s, Promise Keepers men's movement was used as a vehicle to break down the walls, for example, cross-denominational barriers for the purpose of exporting dominionism to the wider evangelical subculture.

[00:15:21]I want to make it really clear, the reason why I ended up in a lot of these movements and at IHOPKC was because I was in a Presbyterian church and wanted to get involved in global missions.

[00:15:36]And one step at a time, a couple years later, lo and behold, IHOPKC.

[00:15:42]Folks, if you think this is not in your church, you're mistaken.

[00:15:47]The strategy was so effective that it reached into the mainline Protestant denominations. Dominionists have carefully selected leaders to be trained as change agents. Sounds a lot like a forerunner, like Alice Bailey's forerunners.

[00:16:04]Change agents for transformation dominion.

[00:16:08]In an erudite manner that belies the media stereotype of southern-talking, Bible-thumping, fundamentalist half-wits.

[00:16:16]Well, she said it there.

[00:16:18]So, Barb and I might be a little late for the party.

[00:16:23]Looks like a lot of this has happened.

[00:16:25]Looks like this was a plan from now, maybe early in the 20th century.

[00:16:31]So, now instead of opposing it as it's approaching, we're trying to snatch people out.

[00:16:38]Dominionism is a movement of man. It is pure humanism.

[00:16:44]And it is a movement that wants to take all the benefits of the future, all the glorification, everything that Jesus promised us, if we will run the race and stay strong.

[00:16:58]It's taking all that and bringing it into the here and now.

[00:17:03]On the next video, Barb and I are going to talk a little bit about that. So, stay tuned for that and uh we're going to keep hitting on this because it's so important for believers to understand what happened this weekend with re-dedicate 250. Those change agents, those forerunners, those people that deliberately switched the narrative from belief in Jesus and eternity to dominion right now.

[00:17:32]That is in full bloom.

[00:17:34]Not completely cuz it's going to get worse.

[00:17:38]Believers, come out. Come out of this. Just hold on to Jesus in these last days and spur one another on. We've got a race to complete, not just to run, but to complete. Holding on to Jesus and trusting in him.

[00:17:56]God bless you. Talk to you in a little bit.
