"For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears." (Acts 20:29-31)

Unbiblical Statements from Charles Capps

"He framed the world with His words. You can't build without substance. He took words --- faith-Filled words were God's substance. Here, essentially, is what God did. God filled His words with faith. He used His words as containers to hold His faith and contain that spiritual force and transport it out there into the vast darkness by saying 'Light be!' That's the way God transported His faith causing creation and transformation." (Charles Capps, "Dynamics of Faith & Confession," Tulsa, OK: Harrison House, 1987, Pages 28-29)

"In this [the Abrahamic Covenant], God is establishing some legal entry into the earth, and He is giving Abraham access to Himself. This Covenant gave God legal entry into the earth through Abraham. Until that time God was, to a certain extent, still on the outside looking in. He needed a legal entry through man so that He could destroy the works of the Devil who was running rampant on earth. Abraham was God's avenue of entry into the earth." (Charles Capps, "Authority in Three Worlds," Pages 60-61)
"Notice that when Jesus said, 'I have finished the work,' we know that He had nor finished the work.

Jesus was speaking the end results in His prayer to the Father." (Charles Capps, "Authority in Three Worlds," Pages 258-259)
"The sinless son of God became as a serpent that He might swallow up all evil.... If you will behold what happened when the sin offering was made and the fact that Jesus became a serpent upon the pole, it will change your life....

(Charles Capps, "Authority in Three Worlds," Page 166-167, 177)
"If there's any part of hell Jesus did not suffer, you'll have to suffer it. But, thank God, Jesus suffered it all, for you!

We'll no longer be in the pit of the damned! The earth and all that is therein is ours! Forever it will be ours!' Rejoicing in hell had never been so great as it was that day. But it was short-lived." (Charles Capps, "Authority in Three Worlds," Page 143)
"When Jesus was in the pit of hell. in that terrible torment, no doubt the Devil and his emissaries gathered around to see the annihilation of God's Son.
