In most cases, Christians are well enough informed to reject occultism, spiritism, astral healing, eastern mysticism, and other belief systems that are explicitly condemned in the Scriptures. However, the prominence of these beliefs and practices in our society has made an impact on the Christian community. They place an emphasis on how to put the good angels to work for them. And they have developed formulas to cast out demons and defeat the devil. The problem with this kind of teaching is that so little of it is drawn from the Scriptures.
Experience takes precedence over the Bible.
But an even greater problem with teaching that is preoccupied with the spirit world is that not enough emphasis is given to the person and work of Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul warned the believers in Colosse about false teachers who, in the guise of humility, said that we should be content to worship angels rather than thinking we have the right to enter the presence of God, the Ultimate One. This lack of vital contact with Jesus Christ cuts a person off from the One who is the source of spiritual life and growth. Jesus Christ must be kept preeminent. He is to be worshiped as God.
