Wagner Ribeiro

Calls himself 'Apóstolo' (Apostle) — a self-appointed title with no apostolic succession or church accountability. Operates outside established church order while building a personal ministry empire with its own app, platform, and fundraising campaigns for new buildings.

Separates baptism from communion, contradicting the apostolic order preserved since the Didache (c. 100 AD). His TikTok and social media focus on charismatic spectacle — jacket-throwing, dramatic falls, 'anointing' performances — rather than the gospel message of repentance, holiness, the Cross, and Christ crucified. Teaches 'Reprogram your spirit' — self-help language that replaces biblical sanctification with psychological technique.

His TikTok presence is characterized by theatrical 'anointing' performances — throwing his jacket at people to make them fall — rather than teaching Scripture, preaching repentance, or calling for holiness. The fruit is spectacle and dependence on a personality, not Christlikeness. Creates followers of Wagner, not followers of Jesus. Claims unverified miracles including COVID being 'defeated' and paralyzed people walking, with no independent witnesses.

Claims Christ personally visited him in the hospital with a 'spiritual IV drip on a silver tray.' Claims to have 'left his body holding the finger of Jesus' and heard 'Jesus calling him with a voice of many waters.' Claims a vision of a giant white hand the size of a stadium. These extra-biblical revelations elevate personal mystical experience above Scripture and contradict Paul's caution about boasting of visions (2 Corinthians 12:1-6).

Sells courses on 'secrets to the supernatural' for profit — the spirit of Simon Magus. Runs a 'Mobile School' where people can pay to bring him to their events. Currently fundraising for a new building expansion. No accountability to established church financial oversight. His platform, app, and multiple social media accounts function as a personal brand operation.
