Dominion Theology, also called "Kingdom Now Theology," is a false teaching stating that man is commissioned to bring the entire world under the dominion of Christianity, by force if necessary, and then, hand over the Christianized world to Jesus when he comes.
Dominion Theology is predicated upon these basic beliefs:
- God gave Adam dominion over the earth
- Satan usurped man’s dominion over the earth through the fall of Adam and Eve
- Jesus defeated Satan and took dominion back in his victory on the cross
- He then gave dominion back to believers
- The Church must gain control of the earth’s governmental and social institutions, and establish the Kingdom on earth
- Then, and only then, can Jesus come
