The
New Apostolic Reformation (
NAR) is a title used to describe a movement that seeks to establish a fourth house within
Christendom, distinct from
Catholicism,
Protestantism and
Orthodox Christianity, largely associated with the
Pentecostal and the
Charismatic movements. Its fundamental difference from other movements is the belief that the lost offices of church governance, namely the offices of
prophet and
apostle are being restored. Inspired by the
G12 movement, it grows by discreetly recruiting pastors of independent congregations and
nondenominational churches, by assimilating members from other churches through
cell group meetings, and by frequent
Church planting and rapid cytokinesis, including foreign missions around the globe. The churches spun out therefrom then form a loose network with a tightly knit history that serves as the basis of an otherwise informal and generally unadvertised far ranging governmental structure. With this strategy, it expects to rapidly overwhelm and dominate the preexisting Christian denominations in the world.
