Q: "Why won’t all 4 episodes be available on AGTV now?"
A: To continue producing this docuseries, we need to recover our production costs. Like typical film releases, our series will be first available for purchase before becoming available for rent or on a subscription streaming service (even our own—AGTV). If we released all of the episodes on AGTV now, viewers could watch them with a free trial, making it impossible to recover our production costs. By releasing one episode per month on AGTV, we're trying to balance giving our loyal subscribers access to the project while ensuring our own ability to continue production. Please consider purchasing the episodes to help us complete the rest of the series!
Episodes are now available for pre-order for $3.99 each.
Note: The price for each episode is $3.99. Purchasing all four episodes totals $15.96. This cost covers 4 episodes, NOT the entire season (13 total episodes to be released in the future).

The Docuseries
A significant theological movement has swept through the Church in recent decades. Millions of professing Christians worldwide believe God is restoring the lost offices of apostle and prophet to church government. They claim these restored apostles and prophets are needed to usher in a global end-times revival through new revelations and miraculous signs and wonders. This modern apostolic and prophetic paradigm has been called the “New Apostolic Reformation.” While there is debate over this label (NAR), the core claims of authority demand a response from all Christians. Has Christ truly sent these new apostles and prophets to His Church? American Gospel: Spirit & Fire will compare and contrast the true person and work of the Holy Spirit with the manifestations and prophetic revelations attributed to Him by leaders in the modern apostolic and prophetic movement. |

Episode Descriptions
|
Bethel Redding (Part 1) - Dominion
Bethel Church and its school of supernatural ministry (BSSM—nicknamed the "Christian Hogwarts") maintains a complex relationship with Redding, California. While the church has boosted the local economy, its growing influence in local government has raised concerns. Bethel Redding (Part 1) explores Bethel's theological position on Dominionism and the believer's authority in Christ. Is Bethel attempting to take control of Redding? How do their teachings about supernatural authority play out in practice? Runtime: 1 hr. 13 mins. |
|
Bethel Redding (Part 2) - The Attraction
Students worldwide are drawn to Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) for its controversial teachings about supernatural gifts. BSSM leaders say it’s spiritual abuse to charge money for prophetic words, but questions remain about their actual practices and whether spiritual gifts are being twisted for profit. The school's promises of miracles, revival, and earthly prosperity particularly appeal to nations like South Africa, raising concerns about whether Bethel’s global influence creates false hope and distorts the true nature of spiritual gifts. Runtime: 1 hr. 1 min |
|
Bethel Redding (Part 3) - The Prophets
Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry claims that everyone can learn to prophesy. A deeper examination of Bethel's prophetic teaching and practices reveals concerning claims about the spiritual authority of prophets. The investigation of BSSM's prophetic teachings highlights notable failures of their prophets during the year 2020, emphasizing the need for genuine repentance and greater accountability in prophetic practices. Runtime: 1 hr. 7 mins. |
|
Bethel Redding (Part 4) - The Gospel
Bethel's approach to supernatural evangelism (known as "treasure hunting") has significant effects on Redding's community. Former BSSM students reveal how the church's teachings ultimately led them to question and abandon their faith. A concerning pattern emerges as students increasingly drift toward New Age practices and atheism—raising serious questions about Bethel's interpretation and communication of the gospel message. Runtime: 1 hr. 18 mins. |
