“It appears that Kanye West has fully embraced the charismatic New Apostolic Reformation “signs and wonders” movement and will be joining a host of self-proclaimed “prophets” and “apostles” at the Awaken 2020 Conference this weekend. Some of the false prophets and false apostles heading up the event include Cindy Jacobs, Lou Engle, Guillermo Maldonado, Brian Welch, and many others.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) I’ve been cautiously optimistic about Kanye West’s supposed conversion to Christianity. While I’ve been hopeful that his conversion is true, I’ve been skeptical about the sincerity of his conversion and have refrained from promoting him or his music to other believers.
While others have urged us to give him time to show fruits, we’ve held the position that if West is truly born-again, our criticism isn’t going take that away from him. In fact, as a highly visible popular figure — and one who now claims Christ — this does place him in a position to be scrutinized publicly for his words, actions, and associations.
