Must the contemporary church be led by apostles and prophets?
Advocates of the so-called New Apostolic Reformation answer that question with a hearty yes. Others, including classical Pentecostals, aren’t so sure.
The idea that churches must be led by apostles and prophets isn’t the only controversial teaching associated with the New Apostolic Reformation. Others include strategic-level spiritual warfare, ordinary believers as a miracle-workers, and Christian dominion in society.
In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk with Dr. Allen Tennison about what the New Apostolic Reformation is and how classical Pentecostals should assess it.
I’m George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host.
Dr. Allen Tennison is dean of the College of Church Leadership and professor of theology at North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. An Assemblies of God minister, he also chairs the AG’s Commission on Doctrines and Practices.

Dear Reverend Wood
I am a former AG minister.
I do not know when podcast was broadcast, but as of my departure from The Assemblies of God over these issues a year and one half ago, this position to your own Position Papers on the same topics/doctrines were not formally embraced or acknowledged by Bret Allen, Sam Huddleston, Doug Haggard, Donna Barrett or even Doug Clay. Sam Huddleston is an ardent fan promoting BSSM Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry.
I have exhaustive documentation on a long and arduous journey that concluded in a disappointing conclusion. Mine is not an isolated case.
“A New Apostolic Reformation”- by R. Douglas Gievett and Holly Pivec are an honest and scholarly look at his topic.
Sincerely,
Robin J. Wood Sr.
