The NHC Knowledge Base
A library of teachers, churches, movements and belief systems, each one read against the full biblical standard — not against a denomination or a political side. It is built on New Horizon Church's way of interpreting the Bible: five questions, asked in the order a worshipper walked through the Tabernacle.
How is someone saved? ✅ Centre = grace through faith alone (Eph 2:8–9) — Jesus' death on the cross is the only way; sin is named and repentance is genuinely expected. ⬅️ Left = salvation assumed, no real call to repent. ❌ Far Left = saved by good works or religious duty — the cross is not preached clearly. ❌ Far Right = hyper-grace — 'God already forgave everything, repentance is unnecessary, sin has no real consequence.'
What happens after you're saved? ✅ Centre = Christians grow in holiness through the Holy Spirit and Scripture — an ongoing transformation (Rom 12:2). ❌ Far Left = legalism: salvation is about keeping rules and moral effort, not the Spirit. ❌ Far Right = antinomianism: 'once saved, how you live doesn't matter — sin has no consequence for a believer.'
Does this teacher affirm the full work of the Holy Spirit today? Every Spirit outpouring in Acts was accompanied by speaking in tongues (Acts 2, 10, 19) — this is NHC's position. ✅ Centre = Spirit baptism affirmed, tongues as normative sign, all gifts active today. ⬅️ Left = tongues downplayed or never taught. ❌ Far Left = actively teaches that gifts have ceased (e.g. MacArthur's Strange Fire conference). ❌ Far Right = false gifts — mysticism, new age crossover, or self-appointed 'apostles' with Scripture-level authority.
Is the Bible taught accurately and treated as the final authority? ✅ Centre = expository, Scripture-based preaching — the Bible as daily bread for every believer. ⬅️ Left = Bible verses quoted but never really taught — feels motivational, but spiritually thin. ❌ Far Right = prosperity gospel: Scripture twisted to promise health and wealth if you have enough faith (e.g. Kenneth Copeland, early Word of Faith excess). Personal revelation added on top of the Bible.
Is worship a genuine encounter with God, or just a performance? ✅ Centre = worship in Spirit and truth (John 4:23) — both private devotion and corporate gatherings that lead to real transformation. ❌ Far Left = empty ritual, going through the motions with no real encounter. ❌ Far Right = mysticism, emotional manipulation, or new age crossover — experience elevated above Scripture.
Each entry is placed on a five-point spectrum per measure, where centre is the full biblical standard — the goal, not a compromise — and distance measures deviation. Every claim is backed by a cited source.
