What does Rick Warren have in common with false prophet Todd Bentley?
Swedenborg.
Emanuel Swedenborg, a mystic, seer and a medium, was also one of the forerunners to modern spiritualism. Swedenborg believed that he was the only one able to shed light on the true meaning of the Bible, with the help of Angels. His teachings influenced a man named Sundar Singh, who said that he had contact with Swedenborg in the spirit world.
After seeing a vision of Sundar Singh, Todd Bentley borrowed his practices of meditation, contemplation, and being still. If you are not familiar with Todd Bentley, see here.

More recently, Rick Warren has partnered with Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead Saddleback Church in a health and wellness plan which he would have his church members believe is the health plan of the prophet Daniel. After the Daniel Plan was announced, it soon became apparent to shocked Christians everywhere that Warren’s new partner Dr. Oz also walks in the footsteps of Emanuel Swedenborg, as can be seen here:

Whether pastor Warren will allow this partnership and influence to continue in his church or not remains to be seen. In the meantime, those sheep who have the wool pulled over their eyes will most likely conclude that concerns over this important issue are unwarranted, unloving, and judgmental. The truth is that these things are being exposed this week by many concerned Christians who are warning the deceived out of love for Jesus and the church. Do you want to walk in the footsteps of men like Bentley, Singh, Oz, and Swedenborg? Or do you want to follow Jesus? Whose footsteps is Rick Warren following and leading his people in?
Please, before you sign up for the Daniel Plan, be like the Bereans who examined everything, and like Daniel and his friends who dared to stand for the truth.
“Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.” Acts 17:11
