The purpose of The Bakersfield Statement is to call out the grave errors and unbiblical doctrines of the Influencers. Bakersfield, California is home to one of the regional branches ("Influencers Bakersfield") which is hosting over one major event per month, drawing many churches and pastors to believe the Influencers are on the cutting edge of Christian spirituality. Their impact is growing steadily and rapidly in the area. Additionally, the Influencers are spreading both nationally and globally, listing on their website over three dozen new U.S. cities in development and locations in Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, five African nations, and Canada.

WE AFFIRM that to claim special revelation from God to spiritually exercise authority over others is a sign of a false teacher.
WE DENY that any group claiming to be Christian may be led by one individual claiming personal revelation from God.
WE AFFIRM the high place of expository Bible preaching in the Christian life in concert with membership in a local church.
WE DENY that the experiential path sought by the Influencers is a pathway to truth.
We would love to hear from you, especially if you have been affected by The Influencers Global ministry.
