It’s a contemporary movement that has emerged to spread God’s gospel the same way the disciples did at their time. The principles of this movement are based on the depiction of the Book of Acts where the work and life of the first disciples are described as well as their main goal to achieve, because according to this movement’s leaders, the church may be in the same situation of submission under Catholic Church nowadays as in Martin Luther’s time was.
The movement’s founder was Torben Søndergaard, a Danish evangelist who claims to receive revelations and visions directly from God and he presents himself as God’s apostle, thus, he’s able to heal people using his faith. Torben wrote his name entitled “The Last Reformation”, where he focuses on the reasons why Christianity doesn’t seem to be paying off as it should be. He has manifested this point since he was young and even within his own life and he explains how the church and the disciples should be in these final days.
There are several countries that have Torben’s disciples, people who have learned and want to work for God as it’s described on the Book of Acts. It is very important to this movement the world to know God and may it be free from sickness and unholy spirits in order to have a joyful life and strengthened in faith.
To heal illnesses or injuries on people’s bodies has become TLR’s distinctive sign and it is because of this that many people’s trust has been earned, as well as several souls to God through baptism.
To this group, baptism is the starting point to receive the Holy Ghost, to be filled of It and strengthen their faith after sincere repent from sin and acknowledging God as the only Savior, and it’s because of this that after being convinced of the word of God, its followers speak in tongues, which seems to avail their sincere regret and their preparation for a life as a “God’s disciple” under the formation established by this movement.
Teaching of the gospel and doctrines is among their techniques as well, which allows the quick formation of “disciples” who commit themselves right away to achieve the goal of spreading the gospel throughout the world gaining souls to God.
To carry on the disciples’ mission depicted on the Book of Acts has become difficult to achieve, Satan wrestles every day to take souls away from God and put them on his side, this is why Torben and his movement have been rejected in several places and by many people, but their doing is growing as days go by, God keeps giving him resources and people that are needed to continue spreading the message all over the world. Nowadays, as Torben himself explains through visions he has had, the Lord miraculously gave him a new facility to educate pioneers and the school of Luke 10 near Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, that is going to begin working on December 1st, 2019 where people have already been baptized and they hope to keep growing from there.
