THE WORD OF FAITH MOVEMENT
An expose of the teachings of the Word-faith cult.
The doctrines
of the Faith movement investigated in this article
would not normally
deserve a response,
were it not for the fact that multitudes of sincere people have fallen prey to,
and unknowingly accepted, a false view of the events leading up to and including
the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The problem here is that we
are scripturally commanded to test the spirits whether they are of God (1 John
4) and to be Bereans - to search the Scriptures to see if what they say is true
(Acts 17:11) - many of the followers of these heretical teachers don't follow
this instruction, because if they did, they would soon see that they are being
exploited "with stories their teachers have made up" - they have ignored the
warning:
2 Peter
2: 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as
there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce
destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing
swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their
shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3
In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have
made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their
destruction has not been sleeping.

Error is never
more deceptive than when presented with a mask of Truth.
Some of what these people teach may be correct, but the error that they do
teach on Essential/Salvation doctrine, makes their entire teaching wrong, according to Scripture.
Leading
identities of the Faith movement are: Kenneth Hagin, Ray McCauley (RHEMA),
Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Paul Crouch,
Rodney Howard-Browne, Kenneth Hagin Jr., Gloria Copeland, Fred Price, Jerry Savelle, Charles Capps, Norvel
Hayes, John Osteen, Robert Tilton, Lester Sumrall, John Avanzini, Marilyn
Hickey, Buddy Harrison, Creflo Dollar and Morris Cerullo.
Word-Faith doctrinal teachings can be proven from actual quotes from their leaders... through ignorance and perversion of the Scriptures, twisting out of all reasonable context their meaning, they arrive at their cultish standpoint, claiming a new Revelation from God. Most of these churches are built on the premise of pastoral GREED, where, through false teaching, followers are coaxed into giving all their worldly possessions to the church, in return for a "Scriptural" "pour out on you blessing" from God. (Please see The Truth about titheing). Meanwhile, Pastors live in luxury mansions, drive Rolls-Royces, own Lear Jets, dress in designer clothing, drip in diamonds and gold and fleece their own congregation in the light of their favourite verse, Malachi 3:8, which in fact talks of the tithe of the LEVITES (The Priests/pastors!), not of the congregation. Ironically and tragically, in their ignorance, pastors who teach the titheing verse "will a man rob God", miss the whole point that Malachi wrote this verse to the PASTORS, they were the one's who were robbing God!
FAITH IS A
"FORCE"
It makes the Almighty God and Creator a weak 'faith-being' who is at the mercy
of His own universal laws.
Although Word-of-Faith ministers speak of God in a personal way, they treat Him
like an impersonal "force" that can be operated by the use of laws - laws which
even God has to obey in order to create and run His universe. God, they
say, has left the control of the planet in man's hands and is powerless to
intervene without a covenant partner. Is God not omnipotent and completely
sovereign?
POSITIVE
CONFESSION - 'NAME IT, CLAIM IT, FRAME IT'
Word-of Faith teaches Christians to draw upon powerful 'forces' that reside
in the human spirit - such as the "force" of faith - to bring certain laws into
operation. They emphasize that we have power to operate all these spiritual
laws. So, learning and confessing the Word continually is the method used
to obtain anything we want. This self-rule leads to pride and greed.
Biblically, a Christian must deny himself and submit to the entire will of God,
as revealed moment-by-moment by the Holy Spirit. When 'Positive Confession'
first arrived into "Christianity", it transformed some dead churches and
struggling Christians. However, as so often in Church history, the movement soon
revealed its true nature as something more like a cult, with extremes of belief
that brought the Name of the Lord into disrepute. Unfortunately, it seems this
was inevitable - the roots of the doctrine were firmly planted in the soil of
the metaphysical cults. The errors that produced New Thought and
Christian Science had also produced Word-of-Faith as a Christianized version.
In Word-Faith religion the believer uses God, whereas, the truth of Biblical Christianity is--God uses the believer! Word-Faith theology sees the Holy Spirit as a Power to be put to use for whatever the believer wants. The Bible teaches, however, that the Holy Spirit is a person who enables the believer to do whatever God wants. It is absolutely the opposite of Scripture.
A PROSPERITY GOSPEL
Word-Faith writings . . . and there are myriad of these things, you can't even keep up with them. There is almost no end to the proliferation of literatureWord-Faith articles carry titles like, "How to Write Your Own Ticket with God," "Godliness is Profitable," "The Laws of Prosperity," "God's Creative Power Will Work for You," "Releasing the Ability of God Through Prayer," "God's Formula for Success and Prosperity," "God's Master Key to Prosperity," "Living in Divine Prosperity," and so it goes.
The passage in the third letter of John "3John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." is always used to demonstrate that God desires his people to "prosper" - that is, to be rich. Prosperity is a big subject in the Faith teachings, and the John passage seems central to their exposition of that doctrine.
Yet this is a distortion of the scripture, because the word "prosper" does not mean "wealth" as evidenced by the latter part of that scripture "even as thy soul prospereth". Souls do not receive material wealth, although they can become rich in faith. The word Prosper in scripture means to be "helped along the way", and it signifies a daily walk that is successful in all areas. It does not simply mean that a believer "has prosperity" in terms of being financially well-off!
REVELATION KNOWLEDGE
Like the gnostic heresies all through the ages, the "God spoke to me, saying",
or "God, as he has revealed himself to me" or the preacher "having a public
conversation with God on stage", Word-of-Faith needs special knowledge in order
to be effective. Leaders see themselves as having an "anointing" to bring new
spiritual revelation to the Body. In this scheme, it is not sin and disobedience
that causes us to fail, but ignorance of the "anointing". Moreover, this
revelation knowledge is limited to the few who can receive it; the less
intelligent are at a disadvantage.
The Truth of the matter is that ALL believers have the SAME ANOINTING, when they are born again. The Holy Spirit indwelling each believer is the anointing.
All Christians should note that God reveals Himself to believers in..............His Word!
JESUS
NEEDED TO BE BORN AGAIN
It makes the Divine Son of God into a born-again man who had to die in Hell to
pay the price for our treason.
Jesus, according to Word-of-Faith doctrine, discarded His divine powers and
walked earth as a mere man filled with The Spirit. He had to use the Word and
the laws of faith to do miracles. When He died, His blood did not atone, but He
had to take upon Himself the very sin-nature of the Devil, causing His spirit
to die, and suffer three days and nights of hellish torment AS A MAN before
the Father gave the command for Him to be re-created as a re-born man. Thus,
they say, Jesus was just the first of many sons, the Pattern for us all to
follow.
"Why didn't Jesus openly proclaim Himself as God during His 33 years on earth? For one single reason. He hadn't come to earth as God, He'd come as man." Kenneth Copeland.
MEN
ARE GODS
It elevates man to equality with Jesus.
A consequence of the 'Jesus-died-spiritually' doctrine is that all born-again
Christians stand in the same place of power and authority as Jesus - not by
virtue of their unity with Him, but in themselves, as men filled with the
Spirit. This would mean that we have already been resurrected from the dead and
it only remains for us to gain 'knowledge' of our new condition in order to
discard the trappings of the fleshly body and begin living as spiritual gods on
earth!
Thus, the Christian walk is one of education in using the same spiritual laws as Jesus in order to dominate circumstances and do miracles. In Word-of-Faith teaching, believers do not depend on God's own power, nor submit to His will, but feel they have the right to develop their own powers, and to discover the laws governing creation and dominion on the earth. To understand the special position that Word-of-Faith gives to man, we need to know their interpretation of the Creation. In their teaching, man HAS NO NATURE OF HIS OWN but takes his nature from his 'lord'. When God was his Lord, then man had a divine nature - for Adam was created as god of the earth, they say - but after man's fall, he took the sin-nature of the Devil and became like Satan. (All this, of course, is contrary to scripture). So, Word-of Faith believers would reason that a born-again man has regained his divine nature. Thus, he is entitled to use the attributes of his divinity, such as creative powers and domination of the environment etc.
It
makes the redemption into a restoration of Dominion and Power for mankind.
Word-of-Faith teachers stress the loss of dominion over the earth, not sin, as
the root problem. So, salvation becomes a matter of re-discovering one's place
of godhood and learning to rule as kings on earth. The role Jesus had to play in
redemption was that of a substitute-Adam, coming to earth to fulfill all that
Adam failed to do, demonstrating the possibilities of dominion, and then taking
Adam's place in Hell to let mankind 'off the hook'. The worship given to Jesus
by Word-of-Faith believers is more from a sense of gratitude than a recognition
of His divinity. It also misses the whole point of redemption: that Jesus
HIMSELF is the Life and Salvation of mankind and that we are only saved in union
with Him.
Its
goal is the transformation of the earth by spiritual dominion.
Because Word-of-Faith believers see themselves as having returned to their
god-like dominion of the earth, they foresee the time coming when - by sheer
force of numbers, probably - they will force all mankind to bow the knee to God.
They teach that all the wealth of the world will flow to the Church, and that
the laws, government and entire social structure of the world system will have
to change. Despite scriptural warnings of apostasy and
increasing wickedness in the end-times, they foresee a great victory for the
Church in the future, as the Spirit sweeps millions into the 'kingdom' on earth.
Whether or not they claim to believe in the end-times plan of Revelation, the
Rapture, the Millennium or any of these things, they still seem to be able to
fit a scheme of global Church unity and triumph into the plan of the ages.
THEY
DENY THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
No Christian should be Sick or poor.
Word-of-Faith ministers teach that the only true reality is spiritual, and the
earthly senses are deceptive. Thus, believers are taught that it is a sin to be
sick, a sin to be poor, a sin to be in any way below par. They are taught to
overcome adversity by confessing a suitable 'positive' scripture, instead of
seeking God's guidance. They are taught that if they are not healed "in the name
of Jesus", they don't have enough FAITH! Also, the reality of sin, and the need
for forgiveness is glossed over by teaching that a simple confession of the
Lordship of Jesus will effect a change of lifestyle.
It focuses on self and the world instead of God and Heaven.
The emphasis in Word-of-Faith doctrine is all on success, prosperity,
advancement, gain, health and strength. There is little compassion for those who
fail to come up to these exacting standards. Any adversity is said to be a 'lack
of faith' to confess the appropriate Word. This is a great misunderstanding of
the Sovereignty of God, and His plan to bring his children to glory, for if we
refuse to share in the trials, setbacks and persecutions of Jesus, we are not
ready to share His glorification. [Rom 8:17]
BRINGING CHRIST INTO DISREPUTE
Some of the Word-of-Faith teachers and ministries have been the worst offenders
in bringing the Name and the cause of Jesus Christ into disrepute. Ministries
that emphasize prosperity have ended up in greed, manipulating believers into
giving money they can little afford. Over-emphasized teaching about God's
healing has led to extravagant claims for miracles that have been exposed as
hyperbole and sham. Doctrines about man's godhood and superhuman abilities have
led to arrogance, self-will and the use of psychic powers to perform miracles
instead of a simple dependency on the Holy Spirit. Also, teachings about faith
have become rituals and formulas for producing instant result; and many who
could not or would not go down this road were derided and rejected as "having no
faith".
CONCLUSION:
What we can learn from the Word-of-Faith doctrines is really no more than straight-forward biblical teaching in the first place - faith in God and in His Word, belief in divine intervention in our affairs, a positive outlook based on the promises of God, and a knowledge of the defeat of satanic powers in Jesus - all this and more is good and sound, but the Word-of-Faith movement today has gone far beyond these boundaries and created a monster that is devouring both its leaders and followers alike.
It is not necessary to buy into a Word-of-Faith system in order to benefit from the plain teaching of scripture. Any who are followers of Word-of-Faith ministers should think very carefully about their position as followers of men and of a dubious man-inspired system of formulas, and also should be wary of the manipulation to give gifts and tithes to these ministries. It would be better to seek scriptural inspiration from the Holy Spirit who is our only Guide and Teacher.
The major doctrines of the Faith movement were plagiarized by Kenneth Hagin from the teachings of E.W. Kenyon. Kenyon (1867-1948), who gained much of his theology from the mind-science cults, predominantly metaphysics. He incorporated these teachings with his Christian beliefs in an attempt to satisfy the desires for, as he termed it, a new type of Christianity which people had been longing for. Hagin adopted many of these ideas, adding his own theological views gained from his days in classical Pentecostalism and healing revivalism. The five central doctrines of the Faith movement: Revelation Knowledge, Identification, Faith, Healing and Prosperity, however, were all taken from Kenyon's writings, a man who often drank from the well of the Metaphysical cults, particularly, New Thought and Christian Science.
QUOTES FROM ACTUAL STATEMENTS MADE BY WORD-FAITH LEADERS
What do these men teach
that provokes such an outcry against them by true bible-believing Christians?
Below is a list of some of the statements made by the most respected Word-Faith
teachers (researched by Jim Fox, Banner Ministries, 1992).
Most of them defy any logical explanation, and are so absurdly blasphemous that
they don't even warrant argument. Those who follow after the teachings of these
men are in serious danger.
2 Peter 2: 1 (NIV) But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
Faith
is a Force (like Starwars). (Spirit, Soul and Body, #01-0601, Tape #1)
What
is Faith?
Hebrews 11 discusses Faith in detail. Faith = Faithfulness. It’s the
same word throughout the Bible. Real Faith is our response to God, by
following God’s Word. That is, OBEDIENCE to God’s WORD. It is our
confidence in God’s Word; our reliance on Christ for Salvation.
God
did not create the world out of nothing, He used the Force of His Faith.

God does NOT have faith! What would He need it for? For faith in Himself? An

HIS "ANNOINTING"
Praying at Kuhlman's grave - The secret to
Hinn's power is his peculiar anointing, which he connects with Kathryn Kuhlman
and Aimee McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Gospel Church. He first felt
the "full power of the Holy Spirit" on him at a Kuhlman healing service in
1973 -- and her mantle has presumably fallen upon Hinn. He conducts his
meetings almost exactly like hers -- though it takes Hinn much longer to get
his audience into the expectant mood that seems to generate psychosomatic
"miracles." In an April 7, 1991 sermon, Hinn revealed that he periodically
visits Kuhlman's grave to pray and that he is one of the few with a key to
gain access to it. He also visits Aimee's grave, where he says: "I felt a
terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of
God ... `Dear God,' I said, `I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the
anointing has lingered over Aimee's body."
This "communication" with the dead is
specifically forbidden in the Bible - the sin of Necromancy. Hinn's supposed "annointing"
is flawed from the very beginning.
God has 9 parts!
(tri-theistic).
A. God has a body, soul and spirit.
B. Jesus has a body, soul and spirit.
C. Holy Spirit has a body, soul and spirit. (Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded
10/13/90)
FALSE PROPHECY
"Let me tell you something. The Holy Spirit has already told me He is about to
show up. And you know, oh, I gotta tell you this quickly, just before we go. I
had a word of prophecy from Ruth Heflin, you know who Ruth Heflin is? Ruth
prophesied over me back in the seventies and everything she said has happened.
She just sent me a word through my wife and said the Lord spoke to her audibly
and said that He is going to appear physically in one of our crusades
in the next few months. Yeah, she - I'm telling ya - she said, the Lord spoke
to her audibly and said, 'Tell Benny I'm going to appear physically on the
platform in his meetings'. Lord, do it in Phoenix Arizona in the name of
Jesus! And in Kenya too, Lord, please, Lord, in fact, do it in every crusade.
In Jesus' name." (Benny Hinn, This Is Your Day, March 29th, 2000)
Matt. 24:23-27 Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not. For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and
shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they would
deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Therefore if they
shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in
the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the
east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be.
OCCULT EXPERIENCES
Benny Hinn speaks of many other experiences given over the TBN network.
For example, he said that the Lord was in front of him and when he
moved his arm so did Jesus. When he moved his foot so did Jesus.
This continued until they walked together and they merged becoming one.
Incredible! This "Christianity" is more at home with New Age Occultic
experience than with the Christ of the Bible!" (Benny Hinn, Personal
testimony, July 1987 audio # A071987, Orlando Christian Center as cited in
"Touch, Topple, Tilt" by Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason, P.O. 683, Wahiawa HI
96786)
HE CURSES THOSE WHO CORRECT
HIM
"I
place a curse on every man and woman that will stretch his hand against
this anointing. I curse that man who dares to speak a word against this
ministry." (Benny Hinn, TBN, 9/13/99)
True believers don't do that. We are to continue to try to show Benny Hinn the
truth, but until he repents we must warn the Church and label him what he is,
just as Paul warned Timothy and the early church about people like Alexander.
About Jesus…
Benny Hinn's teachings about Jesus Christ are similar to Kenneth Hagin and
Kenneth Copeland, but actually go to another level above Copeland. He says,
"Ladies and gentlemen, the serpent is a symbol of satan.
Jesus Christ knew the only way He would stop Satan is by
becoming one in nature with him."
MONEY!
He raises about $12 million a year
with the usual false promises of healing and prosperity in exchange for "seed
faith" gifts -- a condition for "miracles." "Give no less than $100," he
exhorts an audience, and promises to "lay hands on all the envelopes and ask
God for financial miracles for the givers." This comes from a man who just
traded in his Mercedes for a Jaguar and recently moved from the exclusive
Heathrow development to the even more exclusive Alaqua, where he now lives in
a $685,000 home. His suits are tailored, his shoes are Italian leather, and
his wrists and finger glitter with gold and diamonds ... what he considers a
modest lifestyle, as if everyone lives like this. He wears his diamond Rolex,
diamond rings, gold bracelet and custom suits for all to see. ..."What's the
big deal, for goodness sake?" he says. "What am I supposed to do, drive a
Honda? ...That's not in the Bible. ... I'm sick and tired about hearing about
streets of gold [in heaven]. I don't need gold in
heaven. I got to have it now."
Blowing people down with the "spirit"
The anointing or power plays a major role at Benny Hinn's "miracle
services." He uses it to "slay in the spirit" as Kuhlman did 30 years ago. She
has been imitated by charismatic evangelist/healers ever since. But Hinn has a
new flare. Yes, like Kuhlman, he touches people on the forehead or neck to
make them fall over. But he also blows or throws the "anointing" and "slays"
people from a distance. As Mike Thomas reported in Florida Magazine,
Nov. 24, 1991:
Winded catchers try to keep up with the toppling bodies. He rears back and
with a pitching motion slays the entire choir with one toss. "That's power,"
yells Benny." "POWER!" ... Hinn takes off his custom tailored jacket and rubs
it briskly on his body. He is rubbing the Power into the jacket. Then he
starts swinging it wildly, like the biblical David swinging his sling. He
decks his followers left and right. Bam! Bam! Bam! The stage vibrates with
their landings. Then he throws it [the "anointed" jacket]. Another bam. As a
catcher moves to pick up a woman, Hinn slays him ... then he slays the catcher
who caught the catcher. When Benny Hinn is moved, nobody is safe from the
Power ... [H]e blows loudly into the microphone ... Hundreds fall backward ...
a woman collapses in the aisle and begins to babble. And then, suddenly, Benny
is gone. The power vanishes from the room, and the people stare in stunned
silence.
This aspect alone of Hinn's meetings is enough to condemn him. He
capriciously throws the "Holy Spirit" around in most irreverent fashion, using
the third Person of the Trinity as his servant to attract attention to
himself. Hinn acts as though the "anointing" is some metaphysical power at
his disposal, to be rubbed off onto objects. It looks impressive, works
largely by the power of hypnotic suggestion and mass hysteria, but has no
purpose except to make people stand in awe of Hinn.
