The False Gospel of Kim Clement
On the whole I get surprisingly little negative email here at
ApostasyWatch. That is probably because God sends people to this site who have
eyes to see and ears to hear the truth about the great apostasy presently under
way in the visible church. I know from my own experience that those who are
deceived by the false teachers tend to avoid sites like mine that might
challenge their most deeply held beliefs.
The vast majority of the negative email I do get, however, is in defense of Kim
Clement. I am amazed at the number of people who feel the need to defend this
man. My exposure of him seems to offend a great many people.
It is funny (funny sad, not funny ha-ha) that so many of these critical emails
sound the same. Almost invariably they start off by saying ‘I don’t know God’s
word as well as you do but I feel........……..”. No kidding! If you knew God’s word you
wouldn’t be so easily swayed by an obvious heretic like Clement. Then they go on
to use the same old rationalizations that have been used for thousands of years
to defend false prophets. With that in mind I would like to lay out the most
basic reason for opposing Kim Clement and his ministry.
The first thing I want everyone to understand is that I consider Kim Clement to
be a false prophet not because of his lack of prophetic accuracy. He is about as
accurate as your average tabloid psychic but that by itself does not make him a
false prophet.
Kim Clement is a false prophet because he preaches a false gospel!
Here is a portion of an interview with Clement by Matt Crouch on
Praise The Lord (TBN), February 4, 1997.
” The church, with its prophetic mantle can actually win a lot more people to
the Lord because of the idea that we are presenting right now, and that is that
every one of you were born and formed and sent upon by God for something great.
The prophetic makes you aware of something that is already present in you that
you've not seen……. Everyone that's born, God has placed something
special inside. It's our responsibility as preachers of the New Millennium to
bring out the treasure that's already there……….. I'm telling you there's
going to be some ignoramuses coming to meetings, into our meetings, the New
Millennium church, that's not focusing on the sin and trying to force them to
repent and make them afraid because they're going to go to hell, and they're
going to discover 'there's a glory, there's a beauty inside of me' that only
Christ can bring out by the power of His breath and His resurrection. And that's
what way the church is going
Matt Crouch: "Wow. I want to mention real quickly. Wow. You know, that's
basically 180 degrees from the way it's been taught
Does this sound like the gospel of Jesus Christ or
the gospel of Oprah?
Clement says: every one of you were born and formed and sent upon by God for
something great.
But God’s word says:
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one
vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew
his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the
vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the
riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto
glory, Rom 9:21-23
Clement says: The prophetic makes you aware of something that is
already present in you that you've not seen……. Everyone that's
born, God has placed something special inside.
But God’s word says:
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing:…. Rom 7:18
And:
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can
know it? Jer 17:9
Clement says: ……….. I'm telling you there's going to be some
ignoramuses coming to meetings, into our meetings, the New Millennium church,
that's not focusing on the sin and trying to force them to repent and make them
afraid because they're going to go to hell.
But Jesus said:
…..The time is fulfilled, and the
Jesus sent out the disciples:
And they went out, and preached that men should repent. Mark
6:12
Jesus further said:
……Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise
from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should
be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at
How many more would you like?
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke 13:3
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted
out,…Acts 3:19
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men
every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he
will judge the world in righteousness…… Acts 17:30-31
Now tell me, are you going to believe Kim Clement or the word of God?
Folks it’s really very simple. Without repentance there can be no salvation.
Without salvation sinful man cannot commune with a holy God.
I know some of you will be tempted to give me the “what he really meant”
defense. Save your breath. What he really meant is what he really said. Jesus
said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Mat 12:34 & Luke 6:45).
Some of you will also claim that while Clement may have “misspoken” we can’t
know his heart. Again, I say, save your breath. You do err not knowing the
scriptures. We can know his heart because the heart is reflected in the fruit it
produces.
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit.
For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is
good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke
6:43-45
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt,
and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. Mat 12:33
In fact, it is Clements own words, proceeding from his corrupt heart
that condemn him.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned. Mat 12:37
Kim Clements gospel of “something good” within every one is as blatantly false
as it can be. It is a gospel that promises life yet requires no repentance and
no sacrifice of self. It is the antichrist (in place of Christ) gospel that
places the god of self on the throne of the heart. It is a gospel that tickles
the ears of this covetous, proud, boastful generation.
Now we can debate Clements alleged prophetic ability until the cows come home
but it really doesn’t matter. Even if he was 100% accurate in his prophecies he
would still be a false prophet leading people to worship a false Jesus with his
false new age gospel.
If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth
thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he
spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not
known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that
prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to
know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your
soul. Deut 13:1-3
All you defenders of Clement need to consider this scripture. The Lord
himself has sent Kim Clement to test you. He wants to see if you will truly put
God and his word first in your life or will you follow the deceptive words of a
man. Your defense of this man tells me that many of you are failing the test.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before Mat 24:24-25
