I would like to begin this review of The Well (Boulder) with the Scriptures that COMMAND us to test…read moreand examine ALL persons:
1.. "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but TEST the spirits, to see whether they are of God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1)
2. "I know...that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but you have examined those who claim to be apostles and are not, and have found them false" (Rev. 2:2).
3. "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather, expose them" (Eph. 5:7).
We are COMMANDED to test, examine and EXPOSE false teachings/teachers.
I went to The Well in Boulder a couple of times in 2015, and appreciated the sermons and the young people who attended, and the associate pastor was a gifted musician whose songs I appreciated, but something deeply disturbing happened that I feel I must write a review concerning.
After the associate pastor sang, he prayed aloud, and each time he said, "We love you, Lord," "We praise you, Lord," his right hand made the "devil's horns" hand sign (the Satanic salute), while his left hand made the one finger illuminati hand gesture.
I counted TEN TIMES he made these hand gestures as he prayed, and each time he did that, my blood pressure shot up.
The Lord said that if someone offends you, go to HIM and tell him, just between the two of you. If he doesn't listen, take witnesses. If he still doesn't listen, tell it to the church, and if he STILL doesn't listen, "let him be to you as a pagan or tax collector" (Mt. 18:15-17).
However, I am in a powerchair, and I was not able to go down the stairs to the stage where the associate pastor was to confront him concerning this very serious issue. I had just left a Baptist church where the pastor had said at the end of the sermon "The sign of the times"--as he closed his eyes and held out his hand in front of him in a prolonged Satanic salute.
He was VERY angry when I simply asked him what that sign meant to him, and the next week I brought pictures of characters like Anton la Vey (founder of the Church of Satan) hailing the devil with the devil's horns hand signs before a Satanic altar.
He blew up at me, and yelled at me not to spread it around, so I went to The Well. As I was unable to go down to the stage to discuss this issue with the associate pastor, I therefore told the pastor, Matt, after the service how offended and alarmed I was by this, and HE was offended at ME!
He told me "That's my assistant pastor!" I got out of there as fast as I could, and will never go back!
I also went to this man's FB page, and there was a picture of him and his wife among other pictures. They were both dressed in black, his wife was holding a rake upside down (like a witch's broom), and there was a Wiccan background behind them.
Watch the 2014 Grammy award ceremony on YouTube, and you'll see the audience donned in devil's horns hats as they hail Satan with the devil's horns hand sign.
Someone also recently posted a video showing how the Satanic salute has infiltrated churches, and it shows several prominent pastors hailing Satan during church services with the devil's horns hand sign.
Satan is a deadly adversary who loves to hide in plain sight!
("For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond with their deeds," 2 Cor. 11:14).
This WAS in 2015 however, and I will be more than happy to take down this review if I am assured that the associate pastor has repented of any involvement in the occult/Satanism he once had.
And I also urge everyone to look up the YT video titled "Satanic Infiltration in the Church," to see how the Satanic salute has invaded churches, and heed the apostle Paul's warning above as well!
