Lay-led Cell Group Pietism

Someone asked about lay-led cell groups being the heart and soul of Pietism. I have a chapter on that in Thy Strom Word. All the chapters are posted as links. Please use them. Still, I am happy to summarize:

1. Pietism was a unionistic movement to combine Lutheran and Reformed Christians at the expense of Lutheran doctrine.
2. The lay-led cell group was and remains the heart and soul of Pietism. Now it is also the energy behind women teaching men, women in authority over men, and women's ordination (the ultimate prize, the Helen of Troy, the forbidden fruit).
3. Cell groups foster the idea that they are the Real Church. They despise the Means of Grace and use the Sunday service to recruit more buddies for their cell group.
4. Fuller Seminary promotes cell groups, but loathes Lutheran doctrine, Lutheran worship, the creeds, etc.
5. Cell groups are divisive because of their superiority complex. Read Timotheus Verinus if you can find a copy.
7. Other names for cell groups - koinonia, share, care, affinity, Home Bible Study.
8. Apostates like Mark Jeske love Pietism. When someone comes out in favor of Pietism, count on him endorsing the Church Growth Movement later.
