	The Spirit of Things - 6/10/2002: The New Believers #8: Nicky Gumbel and the Alpha Course
		Alpha is basically an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, and it’s designed primarily for people who don’t go to church, people who wouldn’t call themselves Christians, and we found on our own course we were getting more and more particularly young people aged 18 to 35, and it grew and grew and grew.
		Alpha is running in 80% of the prisons in the UK, and now I understand it’s running in quite a number of prisons in Australia as well.
		And on Alpha we’re trying to unit around the things that are at the heart of the Christian faith and give people the opportunity for those people outside of the church to come and explore these things for themselves.

	The Alpha Course - Final Answer or Fatal Attraction? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The Alpha Course and program is also promoted and endorsed by glowing personal testimonies but on close examination has many weaknesses and falls short of meeting biblical scrutiny.
		The Alpha Course may very well be a huge success in a society driven by a need for new experiences, new highs and out-of-control emotionalism but when held up to the pure light of Scripture, it is an enormous failure.
		Alpha leaders would probably reply that their introduction to the Christian faith is limited in nature or to a particular theme.

		What is more, many people claim to have been helped through going on the Alpha course and believe it has ought them an understanding of God and how to respond to Him.
		But despite having part of the course entitled 'Why did Jesus die?', it is unable in the final analysis to answer this question.

	Australian Alpha Expose by W.B. Howard Editor of Despatch
		Alpha, it was taught at the conference, does not teach that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs after the born-again experience, it happens at one and the same time, the "filling" of the Holy Spirit is what is taught.
		Alpha does not obey GOD 100%, for they mix and co-operate with each and every group which is called a "Christian" denomination, they do not even consider the whole counsel of God which utterly forbids the people of God to collaborate with those who teach false doctrine.
		Alpha teaches revival, the BIBLE teaches a falling away; Alpha teaches that doctrine is not important, the Bible teaches that purity of doctrine is imperative; Alpha teaches the empowering of those who have never died to self, as outlined in Romans 6-7, which means that the flesh is being empowered, but not of God.

	The Alpha Course - Is It The Final Answer or A Fatal Attraction ?
		The Alpha Course is a course that has been used by many as a way to attempt to introduce the false doctrines and practices of the Third Wave into mainstream denominations.
		Yet Alpha participants are being taught all this as part of an evangelistic/Christian Living course as though it is normal and desirable, with absolutely no mention made of the need to test the spirits (1 John 4:3), and at the end of this talk are prayed for, corporately, to receive it.
		Alpha also promotes, as does the leadership of the TB, 'unity' between Protestants and Roman Catholics, with no consideration, or perhaps realization, of the unreconcilable doctrines of the two Churches, and so another concern is its trend towards ecumenism.

		The course is formally attributed to Nicky Gumbel, Curate of Holy Trinity, Brompton.
		The man, therefore, whose teaching lies at the heart of the Alpha course not only belongs to a denomination which has tolerated error; but to a local congregation of that denomination which was responsible for the inception into this country of the Toronto Blessing, which is another great evil and error.

		This unfortunately is not the result with the Alpha Course when invitations are given to those unsaved: in need of salvation, because anybody is welcome to partake of the Alpha experience.
		The Alpha Course does not instill an awareness about the great sovereignty of God, it does not teach that mankind has fallen short of the glory of God; and therefore God s wrath is to our account until repentance is made
		Alpha fails to tell us that we have displeased God, and mankind is in need of redemption.

	The Dangers Of The Alpha Course
		One of the cleverest ploys of the enemy in our day is to allow "unprincipled" men to use the salvation message as an enticment to unsuspecting and untrained people, while they secretly introduce false doctrine, thereby giving "the devil a foothold" for fleshly manifestations and temptations in their lives.
		The men who designed this course are laying error alongside truth, introducing error secretly ("pareisaxousinin" in Greek) the result of which will ruin the faith of the believer in the end.
