At all times it is 'the Alpha Course' that matters and is given the praise. He may, or may not, be rich because of the financial success of this Course. But, he remains a false teacher, condemned by God for teaching "damnable heresies" (2 Peter 2:1).
After a few weeks the Alpha course was mentioned as a way to understand Christianity and how to become a Christian. This, I thought, was a good opportunity for me to 'get my head straight' once and for all. I could attend the course and I would have a meal and make friends as well - excellent.
It's British Christianity's biggest success story. I've come to Brompton to meet Nicky Gumbel, vicar of HTB and chief architect of the Alpha Course. If Welby is the Church of England's new leader, Gumbel is his spiritual father. The two men share remarkably close stories, having known each other for more than 40 years.
Nicholas Glyn Paul Gumbel (born 1955), known as Nicky Gumbel, is an English Anglican priest and author in the evangelical and charismatic traditions. He is known as the developer of the Alpha Course, a basic introduction to Christianity supported by churches of many Christian traditions.
Charles MarnhamAlpha course / FounderThe Alpha Course had been founded in 1977, by the Reverend Charles Marnham, but Gumbel developed it into its current format. Courses involve sessions over a 10-week period, which are preceded by informal suppers.

Gumbel insists he's a Christian first, then if pushed, an Anglican. It's a tactic which betrays the cataclysmic schisms of which the Anglican Communion is in the midst. And no bigger wedge is driving that schism than the "gay issue".

The Alpha course is an evangelistic course which seeks to introduce the basics of the Christian faith through a series of talks and discussions. It is described by its organisers as "an opportunity to explore the meaning of life".
Alpha is an opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith, in a friendly, open and informal environment, usually over a meal. Alpha is no-cost, no-pressure and no-commitment. More than 4,000 Alpha courses have been run around the world, including in many Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit. TRY ALPHA.
Testimony was a practice for the glass people to create more of their kind. They took the people who were near death, duplicated their memories into their Glass avatar, and then put back to their human bodies at the moment of their death with no pain and distress, or any memory of the Testimony process. The dead then could be uploaded ...

The Alpha Course, in many instances, is the last resort of a dying local church that has lost love of God or has never had it in the first place. This is what makes the majority of local churches false. Gumbel panders to this falsity with an Arminian 'gospel that is no gospel'.
Editor: Nicky Gumbel is a master propagandist. He has never apologised or repented of his part in the wicked Toronto Blessing. Nor does he bother to deflect attention from the Alpha Course and to Christ. At all times it is 'the Alpha Course' that matters and is given the praise.
The Alpha Course, though teaching some truth, also lays truth alongside error. The wooing of people using the gospel message, only to later enslave them in ritualism, works salvation, and occult manifestations is one of the great deceptions of our time.
After Marnham's initial input, Alpha gradually evolved. One of the key figures in this and the main architect of the Alpha course as it now exists is Nicky Gumbel, currently curate at Holy Trinity Brompton. It was through Gumbel's vision and work that Alpha grew to have the impact it has today.
Alpha 10-3-98. Blessings! The foundations of the Alpha course were originally laid in 1979 through the work of Charles Marnham. During his time at Holy Trinity Brompton in west London (one of the main proponants of the Toronto "Blessing" and where Steve Hill of Brownsville picked up his ability to "slay people in the spirit"), ...
