It's interesting that the LC's and the Latter Rain/NAR can both be traced back to the same ground, Keswick
http://faithsaves.net/sanctification...-higher-life-3. We kicked this around a bit in the Egalitarianism Vs. Complementarianism thread.
Though I do see some similarities, like incorrect use of the office of Apostle and the idea of an elite group of remnant believers that will bring the Lord back, they differ in a lot of ways. The LR is an exclusive group that looks down on mainstream Christianity as poor and degraded. While the NAR has been mingling (yes, I'm using mingling) itself with mainstream Christianity and has even gained the endorsement of seemingly legit teacher's like Francis Chan, as mentioned in another thread.
In my opinion, what is going on in the LC's is small potatoes compared to what is going on in the Latter Rain/NAR Churches. Just watch this Youtube video on Todd Bentley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDEsXVUQeLo&t=6s then watch this Youtube video of these "Apostles" C. Peter Wagner, Rick Joyner, Bill Johnson et al, public laying hands on Todd Bentley to endorse his ministry. It Is Nuts.
