Dominion theology is contradictory to the gospel of salvation, and is a defining characteristic of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) aka the people behind agenda 47

One of the most basic principles of what is going on in churches today is Dominion, also called Kingdom/Dominion or Kingdom-Now. Having lost dominion over the earth in Eden, it is now supposed that the Church has the task of recovering it (presumably in her role as Corporate Christ and therefore the Second Adam).

This belief is underpinned by the "restoration of apostles and prophets" as rulers initially over the Church and ultimately the World. The new churches believe that the Body of Christ is destined to gain power and influence until she has established the very Kingdom of God on earth, and taken dominion over all people and even the creation.

Dominionism also says that it is the role of the Church to overthrow all of God's enemies, which will be achieved by socio-political action, global revival, reconstruction, and spiritual warfare. Thus the path will be cleared for Jesus to return as Lord over all the Earth (but not before!).

The end-goal of kingdom or dominion, in addition to the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth, is the return of the "Shekinah Glory" to indwell the spiritual "temple" that the Church has created for God. This, they say, can only happen when we offer unified corporate praise and worship that is spiritually powerful and pure enough to draw down the Spirit as the Glory into the leadership of the new Church, making them (as some believe) immortal while still living on earth in their resurrection bodies - in a parody of the Rapture/Resurrection.

The bible verses about the Coming of Christ are cases reinterpreted as the Coming of "The Glory" of Christ, although the physical Jesus Christ is supposed to turn up eventually, possibly in hundreds or thousands of years, when all his enemies have been "made a footstool for his feet" by the glorified Church. Variations of this belief exist. Some teach that the apostolic rulership will take the form of a "Corporate Christ" after the impartation of the Spirit, fulfilling the prophecies of the Second Coming of Christ; allied to this is the idea of the "manifested sons" of God coming forth in power, being the "Manchild Company" - the manchild of the woman in the book of Revelation - who is to rule the nations with a rod of iron.

In order to achieve rulership over all, the church must promote mass conversion (usually thought of as a spiritual awakening or experience rather than acceptance of the gospel.) This mass conversion, they say, will transform not only millions of people around the globe, but restructure society and lead to a New Order. They believe (following old prophecies by Latter Rain elders like Bob Jones) that a 'new sound' will "not only recall the works of Christ; it will produce them" creating astounding miracles of deliverance. People will fall to their knees in the street, and whole nations will turn to God in a day.
Global Revival is often called the New Awakening, or a "Second Pentecost" because this endtimes revival is NOT about evangelism but awakening to the spiritual power of a latter-day Pentecost outpouring. It is, at base, an attempt to create a worldwide living "temple" into which the Holy Spirit may descend and dwell on earth.

Formerly, these teachings were named the "Latter Rain" in a reference to the bible verses on which they base their hope of a fresh outpouring in the endtimes, such as Hosea 6:3 "Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth".

Dominion refuted with Bible:

For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: β€œIn returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
Isaiah 30:15

For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Hebrews 13:14

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Hebrews 9:11

For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Hebrews 11:10

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 11:16
