- "He is a Pharisee." (Translation: He is not open to a new work of God through the NAR movement.)
- "She has a Jezebel spirit." (Translation: She is persecuting the prophets just like evil Queen Jezebel did.)
- "That pastor is totally unanointed." (Translation: That pastor has not been chosen by God to lead just like King Saul was not chosen to lead Israel, but instead David was (and NAR apostles and prophets are chosen to lead the church!)

- "You are so mean-spirited!" (Translation: You are being mean by criticizing the teachings of NAR apostles and prophets.)
