AN EXAMINATION OF THE WORD-FAITH MOVEMENT
|
|
|
|
"You don't have a god in you, you are one."(1)
|
|
|
|
"Pray to yourself, because I'm in your self and you're in My
|
|
self. We are one Spirit, saith the Lord."(2)
|
|
|
|
"I say this with all respect so that it don't upset you too bad,
|
|
but I say it anyway. When I read in the Bible where he [Jesus] says,
|
|
'I Am,' I just smile and say, 'Yes, I Am, too!'"(3)
|
|
|
|
What group would say such outrageous things? What group would
|
|
have the nerve to perpetuate such blasphemous doctrines? Could it be
|
|
the Jehovah's Witnesses? the Mormons? the Unitarians? the New Agers?
|
|
Could it be--the Christians?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Word-Faith Teachers
|
|
|
|
The Word-Faith Teachers. This is the group that would seek to
|
|
convince us that Jesus and His disciples were rich, that to be poor
|
|
is a sin, to be sick is a sin, and that faith is a creative force
|
|
that we can use to shape our world just like God supposedly created
|
|
this world and universe that we live in through His "faith"!
|
|
|
|
Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Paul Crouch, John Avanzini,
|
|
Robert Tilton, Fred Price, and Benny Hinn (who at the time of this
|
|
writing has authored the number one best selling Christian book in
|
|
America, "Good Morning, Holy Spirit") are just a few that spew out
|
|
this theological vomit.
|
|
|
|
A Sampling of Error
|
|
|
|
To name just a few of the more outrageous things that have been
|
|
said by these so-called teachers will stagger the senses:
|
|
|
|
John Avanzini is convinced that "Jesus had a nice big house",(4)
|
|
"Jesus wore designer clothes",(5) and "Jesus was handling big money".(6)
|
|
|
|
Fred Price also claims that Jesus was rich and that He left us
|
|
with an example to follow. That is why Fred drives a Rolls Royce; he
|
|
is following Jesus' example!
|
|
|
|
Mr. Price also communicates one of the more sickening beliefs of
|
|
the Word-Faith teachers which shocks even those with a mild amount of
|
|
common sense. He says, "How can you glorify God in your body, when it
|
|
doesn't function right?....What makes you think the Holy Ghost wants
|
|
to live inside of a body where He can't see out through the windows,
|
|
and He can't hear out the ears?"(7) This insulting and insensitive
|
|
comment regarding the handicapped and crippled among us stirs up
|
|
anger in even the most hardened of consciences. Yet this statement by
|
|
Mr. Price is followed by exuberant applause and approval from his
|
|
congregation (I would like to hear Mr. Price say this to Joni
|
|
Eareckson, or Tony Melendez).
|
|
|
|
These kind of statements boggle our minds and stagger our
|
|
senses. It would seem that most people would see the error in these
|
|
teachings, yet millions follow these men with a militant passion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Tip of the Iceberg
|
|
|
|
If this was as far as the teaching of these men went, if their
|
|
only error was that they think everyone should be wealthy and
|
|
healthy, then we could maybe shrug this movement off as a novelty and
|
|
realize that soon people with an ounce of common sense will see the
|
|
error in these teachings. Unfortunately, these teachings are but the
|
|
tip of the iceberg. They are but the rotten fruit of a foul, putrid,
|
|
blasphemous and heretical root. The erroneous actions of the faith
|
|
teachers is but the symptom of their twisted and diseased teachings
|
|
concerning the nature of man and the nature of God. I think you will
|
|
see, after examining what they believe in these two key areas, that
|
|
we are not dealing with a Christian sect gone awry, but that we are
|
|
dealing with a non-Christian heretical group that is as deadly in
|
|
their doctrine as any major cult.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Error Begins
|
|
|
|
Who is God to the faith teachers? Kenneth Copeland will tell you
|
|
first off that "God is the biggest failure in the Bible...the reason
|
|
you've never thought that is because He never said He was one".(8)
|
|
Copeland also teaches us that "God is a being that stands somewhere
|
|
around 6'2", 6'3",(9) intimating that God has a body, an error
|
|
subscribed to by the Mormons. Copeland states, without any biblical
|
|
warrant, that the earth we live on is a "copy of the mother planet"(10)
|
|
which God lives on, again imitating a Mormon doctrine. Never mind
|
|
that the Bible plainly states that God is spirit (John 4:24), never
|
|
mind that the Bible never says a thing about this earth being a copy
|
|
of any so-called mother planet. Yet these arguments don't work with
|
|
the faith teachers because they have supposedly received these
|
|
teachings by direct revelation from God. Therefore to oppose them is
|
|
to oppose God. These men have lifted themselves above any critical
|
|
investigation yet they have forgotten the biblical mandate that
|
|
anything not in accord with the Word of God must be rejected. We will
|
|
examine shortly their reactions to any kind of criticism.
|
|
|
|
After the faith teachers have thoroughly belittled God to
|
|
slightly more than an exalted man, they then proceed to exalt man to
|
|
the status of God. Adam, to the faith teachers, was an exact
|
|
duplicate of God. Copeland teaches, "Gods reason for creating Adam
|
|
was His desire to reproduce Himself. I mean a reproduction of
|
|
Himself. He [Adam] was not a little like God, he was not almost like
|
|
God, He was not subordinate to God even".(11) Copeland even states that
|
|
"Adam is God manifested in the flesh",(12) a title that can only be
|
|
truly applied to Christ Jesus alone.
|
|
|
|
The perceptive man can easily see that the problem here is a
|
|
confusion about what it means to be made in the image of God. The
|
|
faith teachers claim that being made in the image of God is
|
|
synonymous to having the nature of God. To be made in the image of
|
|
God is to be a "little god" they would admit. Yet is that what the
|
|
church has commonly taught. The overwhelming consensus of the church
|
|
has been that man is created in the image of God in the sense that he
|
|
is a person as God is a person, possessing mind, will, and emotions,
|
|
that he is reasonable, unique among creation, a ruler over creation,
|
|
and capable of personal fellowship with God. We bear the image of
|
|
God, but we do not share His nature or substance or make-up. We are
|
|
not omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, or infinite. God is the only
|
|
being that is holy in and of Himself (Rev. 15:4). We are made in His
|
|
image and have dignity because of that, but we are not an exact
|
|
duplicate of God in any sense of the word. That status is reserved
|
|
for the Lord Jesus Christ alone (see Col 2:8, Heb. 1:3, 2 Cor. 4:4).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Error Grows
|
|
|
|
Beginning with this foul root of error, the faith teachers
|
|
proceed into more putrefying departures from the Christian faith. The
|
|
faith teachers claim that when Adam fell in the garden he forfeited
|
|
the nature of God and took on the nature of Satan. This error is but
|
|
a link in the chain that connects the faith teachers exalting of man
|
|
and belittling of God. You see, salvation for the faith teachers is
|
|
not the removal of sin through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus
|
|
Christ. Salvation for the faith teachers is not the forgiveness of
|
|
sins and the restoring of a right relationship between God and man.
|
|
Salvation for the faith teachers is instead the removal of the nature
|
|
of Satan from man and the restoring of the nature of God in man.
|
|
|
|
How is the restoring of the nature of God in man to come about?
|
|
The answer that the faith teachers give is that Jesus had to take on
|
|
the nature of Satan on the cross. In fact, the whole sacrifice of
|
|
Christ on the cross takes on a completely different emphasis and
|
|
meaning for the faith teachers.
|
|
|
|
You see, it is not enough that Christ died physically in the
|
|
theology of the Word-Faith teachers. In order to take away our
|
|
Satanic nature and restore our God nature, Jesus Christ had to die
|
|
spiritually as well as physically. He then had to descend to hell.
|
|
Then while in hell he was born again and through His act of being
|
|
born again He conquered the devil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Error Examined
|
|
|
|
You must follow the steps of this error very carefully for it is
|
|
but the doorway into the single most blasphemous and heretical
|
|
teaching of the Word-Faith teachers.
|
|
|
|
1) On the cross Jesus took upon Himself the nature of Satan. The
|
|
Bible says that Jesus is God the Son, God manifest in the flesh.
|
|
Jesus therefore possesses the attributes of deity such as
|
|
omnipotence, omniscience, eternalness, immutability, etc. Though in
|
|
His incarnation, He chose not to exercise all of His attributes, He
|
|
still retained them. One of God's attributes which Jesus shares is
|
|
His immutability. This means that God is unchangeable in His person.
|
|
Although He acts in time, and establishes and changes relationships
|
|
in time, His essence, which includes His perfect and holy attributes,
|
|
never changes. God does not change (Mal. 3:6) and neither does Jesus.
|
|
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb 13:8).
|
|
But the faith-teachers begin their error by claiming that the Holy,
|
|
undefiled, unchangeable Son of God became evil to the core taking
|
|
upon Himself the nature of Satan. Blasphemy! Our holy God does not
|
|
become unholy.
|
|
|
|
2) Jesus died spiritually. Again the unchanging God-man did not
|
|
die spiritually, but physically. 1 Pet. 3:18 states that Jesus was
|
|
put to death in the flesh but made alive in the Spirit. Jesus did not
|
|
need to die spiritually as well as physically to gain our salvation.
|
|
The offering of His body was enough. Colossians 1:13 states "He has
|
|
now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death"; Hebrews 13:12,
|
|
"therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His
|
|
own blood"; Hebrews 10:10, "We have been sanctified through the
|
|
offering of the body of Jesus Christ". Was Jesus lying when He cried
|
|
upon the cross, "It is finished" (John 19:30)? Was there yet more to
|
|
be done to secure our salvation? That comforting cry from the lips of
|
|
our blessed Lord can be nothing but true and our salvation was
|
|
completely bought and paid for at this most climactic moment of all
|
|
of history!
|
|
|
|
3) Jesus descended into hell a mortal man. Seeing that there is
|
|
no need for Christ to have done any more to procure our salvation
|
|
then what had already been accomplished, this point becomes nothing
|
|
more than an embellishment to the truth. Jesus Christ did not suffer
|
|
in hell. He descended to Hades, to the abode of the dead. There was
|
|
no need for Him to do anymore for our salvation. Satan had already
|
|
been defeated and conquered (Col 2:14-15). Also, Jesus was not, nor
|
|
ever will be, a mere mortal human being. To be a mere mortal, He
|
|
would have to stop being God, and that is one thing that is against
|
|
God's nature and attributes.
|
|
|
|
4) Jesus was born again. Jesus had no need to be born again.
|
|
Jesus was not a lost and hell-bound sinner who needed regeneration.
|
|
He was the Almighty, Eternal, and Holy Son of God. The faith teachers
|
|
will drag Jesus to the lowest depths in order that their teaching
|
|
will have at least a hint of logic. This idea that Jesus was born
|
|
again is the crucial link for the faith teachers that enables them to
|
|
cry out at the end of their wicked formula for salvation, "I am a
|
|
little god". Observe.
|
|
|
|
5) Jesus defeated the devil by being born again. We now have
|
|
Jesus, a mere mortal man, suffering in hell. Jesus then decides to be
|
|
born again. He defeats the devil and becomes the first-born among
|
|
many brethren. Now here is where the Scripture twisting really
|
|
becomes ludicrous. Copeland states that nowhere in the Bible after
|
|
the book of Acts is Jesus called the unique and only begotten Son of
|
|
God. He then twists Romans 8:29 to mean that Jesus is the first born
|
|
again man. This first reborn man, Jesus, has set the pattern for a
|
|
new race to come. And according to the Faith Teachers, we are that
|
|
new race to come. We are equal to Jesus for we are born again just as
|
|
He was. Do you see what has happened here? The faith teachers have so
|
|
suppressed the deity of Jesus that they have, in essence, denied it.
|
|
Copeland goes the farthest in this revelation He supposedly received
|
|
from Jesus, "Don't be disturbed when people accuse you of thinking
|
|
you're God. The more you get to be like Me, the more they're going to
|
|
think that way of you. They crucified Me for claiming that I was God.
|
|
But I didn't claim I was God; I just claimed I walked with Him and
|
|
that He was in Me. Hallelujah. That's what you're doing."(13)
|
|
|
|
The Jesus of the faith teachers has so little in common with the
|
|
Jesus of the Bible that it is clear to anyone with a grain of
|
|
discernment that the Jesus of the faith teachers is not the Jesus of
|
|
the Bible but instead is the kind of religious decoy that Paul warned
|
|
us to be on the lookout for. "But I am afraid, lest as the serpent
|
|
deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from
|
|
the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and
|
|
preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a
|
|
different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel
|
|
which you have not accepted, you put up with it easily enough" (2
|
|
Cor. 11:3-4). And we are putting up with it. We are taking this so
|
|
calmly. Another Jesus, another gospel, another spirit is mocking the
|
|
true Jesus, the true gospel, and the true Spirit and we are so
|
|
tolerant of it that we allow it on our TV set and call it Christian!?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Fruit Of The Error
|
|
|
|
Why is it so important for the Faith-Teachers to ignore such
|
|
explicit passages as "It is finished," etc? Why must they have Jesus
|
|
dying spiritually as well as physically, entering hell as a mortal
|
|
man capable of failure, and being born again to defeat the devil? The
|
|
reason is that the faith teachers have a diminished view of Jesus.
|
|
When Jesus is downplayed as nothing more than an anointed man, it
|
|
brings the faith teachers up to the level of Jesus. In fact, both
|
|
Kenneth Copeland and Fred Price have publicly stated that if it was
|
|
just the physical death of Jesus on the cross that saves us then
|
|
anyone could have done it. Kenneth Copeland says, "And the whole New
|
|
Testament calls Him the first-born....The word "born" began to ring
|
|
in my spirit; it just began to roll around: born, born. I never had
|
|
let Him go through that in my own thinking....And while I was laying
|
|
there thinking about these things, the Spirit of God spoke to me.
|
|
And He said, "Son, realize this: Now follow Me in this, don't let
|
|
your tradition trip you up." He said, "Think this way: A twice-born
|
|
man whipped Satan in his own domain." And I threw my Bible down. I
|
|
said, "What?" He said, "A born-again man defeated Satan. The
|
|
first-born of many brethren defeated him." He said, "You are the
|
|
very image and the very copy of that one." I said, "Goodness
|
|
gracious, sakes alive!" And I began to see what had gone on in there,
|
|
and I said, "You don't mean--you couldn't dare mean, that I could
|
|
have done the same thing?" He said, "Oh, yeah, if you'd had the
|
|
knowledge of the Word of God that He did, you could have done the
|
|
same thing, 'cause you're a reborn man, too.""(14) No mention is made
|
|
of the sinlessness of Christ. No reverence is shown toward the unique
|
|
virgin birth of Christ. See the depths to which the Word-Faith
|
|
teachers have desecrated our Lord. Jesus Christ could pay for our
|
|
sins because He was sinless, being uniquely born of a virgin, and
|
|
thus not sharing in the sin nature of Adam and his descendants, a
|
|
fact to which neither Copeland nor anyone can likewise boast of.
|
|
|
|
The sickening outcome of this wickedness is that the Gospel
|
|
message is no more "Turn to the cross of Jesus, ye wretched sinners,
|
|
and plead for God's forgiveness. Find rest for your sin and guilt
|
|
beneath the blessed cross of the great and mighty Savior." Instead
|
|
the faith Teacher's gospel message is, "You shall be like God"! The
|
|
original lie of the devil is now the gospel message and is broadcast
|
|
around the world for all to hear! He must be pleased! And the end
|
|
result is the blasphemous cries of those who subscribe to this
|
|
wickedness. Kenneth Hagin: "You are as much the incarnation of God as
|
|
Jesus Christ was...the believer is as much an incarnation as was
|
|
Jesus of Nazareth".(15) Benny Hinn: "Are you ready for some real
|
|
revelation knowledge....you are god"(16) "You are a little god on earth
|
|
running around".(17) Kenneth Copeland: "I say this with all respect so
|
|
that it don't upset you too bad, but I say it anyway, when I read in
|
|
the Bible where he [Jesus] says, 'I Am,' I just smile and say, 'Yes,
|
|
I Am, too!'"(18) "You don't have a god in you, you are one."(19) Paul
|
|
Crouch: "Do you know what else that's settled then tonight? This hue
|
|
and cry and controversy that has been spawned by the devil to try to
|
|
bring dissension within the body of Christ that we are gods. I am a
|
|
little god. I have His name. I am one with Him. I'm in covenant
|
|
relation. I am a little god. Critics be gone!"(20)
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Time For Action
|
|
|
|
Am I just theologically splitting hairs here? If this were a
|
|
matter of when and how to baptize, or how many times a year should
|
|
the Lord's Supper be observed, or whether the rapture was post, mid,
|
|
or pre-trib, then I could rightfully be accused of that. Yet this is
|
|
not a minor issue. At stake here is the very character of our God and
|
|
Savior Jesus Christ and the great salvation that He has given us. If
|
|
you have the wrong Jesus, you have the wrong salvation and it should
|
|
be clear from the evidence presented above that the Jesus of the
|
|
Word-Faith movement is a far cry from the Jesus of the Bible!
|
|
|
|
When Shirley MacClaine chants over and over on national TV , "I
|
|
am God, I am God!" we evangelicals go into an uproar. Yet when those
|
|
who claim to be in our own ranks say, "I am a little god", we don't
|
|
even flinch, but rather applaud them and their supposed evangelical
|
|
efforts. Michael Horton has rightly written, "It must cause our
|
|
heavenly Father much grief that we would consider unity more
|
|
important than the One in whom we are united. It must quench the
|
|
Spirit to see Christians treating blasphemies, heresies, and
|
|
scandalous statements as though they were no more than odd
|
|
"emphases"."
|
|
|
|
The simple fact is that it is not the ones that are zealous for
|
|
sound doctrine and orthodoxy who are the divisive ones. The
|
|
Word-Faith teachers are the ones who are guilty of being divisive.
|
|
They are fully aware that what they are teaching is relatively new.
|
|
They constantly ask us to put away our traditions and forget our
|
|
creeds. Benny Hinn says to an audience, "Are you ready for some real
|
|
revelation knowledge?" then proceeds to inform them "you are god".(21)
|
|
Hinn also, after teaching his audience that God consists of 9
|
|
distinct substances, boasts "You think you're in this church to hear
|
|
things you've heard for the last 50 years?".(22)
|
|
|
|
The Word-Faith teachers expect everyone to accept their
|
|
authority and teachings without criticism or testing. Whenever anyone
|
|
challenges their teachings they promote division instead of
|
|
discussion. Before his death, Dr. Walter Martin sought to dialogue
|
|
with Kenneth Copeland over his teachings, yet Copeland refused to
|
|
meet with Martin. Fred Price has publicly stated that he will not
|
|
meet with a critic unless he has as many followers as him. Last
|
|
Spring, the Christian Research Institute, a very reputable and
|
|
trustworthy counter-cult and apologetic ministry, devoted a week of
|
|
radio programs to exposing the errors of the Word-Faith movement.
|
|
Immediately after the shows were aired, Paul Crouch had this to say
|
|
about CRI during his televised "Praise-a-thon" program amid shouts of
|
|
"amen" and "you tell 'em brother" from the studio audience:
|
|
|
|
"I think God's given up on a lot of that old rotten Sanhedrin
|
|
religious crowd, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. I think
|
|
they're damned and on their way to hell and I don't think there's
|
|
any redemption for them...the heresy hunters that want to find a
|
|
little mote of illegal doctrine in some Christian's eye and pluck
|
|
that little mote out of their eye when they've got the whole
|
|
forest in their own lives and in their own eyes. I say to hell
|
|
with you! Oh hallelujah. Get out of God's way, quit blocking God's
|
|
bridges or God's gonna shoot you if I don't! I refuse to argue any
|
|
longer with any of you out there. Don't even call me. If you want
|
|
to argue doctrine, if you want to straighten out somebody over
|
|
here, if you want to criticize Ken Copeland for his preaching on
|
|
faith, or Dad Hagin. Get out of my life! I don't even want to talk
|
|
to you or hear you. I don't want to see your ugly face! Get out of
|
|
my face in Jesus' name."(23)
|
|
|
|
Notice that there is no desire to dialogue about the issues. Notice
|
|
that Paul Crouch doesn't explain why they believe what they believe
|
|
and subsequently why CRI was in error for presenting the programs.
|
|
All that Paul does is attack the people, he does not give an account
|
|
for the hope that is in him. The Faith teachers erroneous and
|
|
blasphemous teachings are what are promoting division. It is not
|
|
those who criticize them and seek to dialogue with them in a
|
|
reasonable matter that are to blame. It is the childish and
|
|
unresponsive Word-Faith teachers that are to blame.
|
|
|
|
But you say, what about the good they do? Dear friend, no one
|
|
gets everything wrong! Even the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Mormons, the
|
|
New Age, etc. get a few things right every once in while. But isn't
|
|
that the substance of deception? The skin of the truth stuffed with a
|
|
lie. An appearance of righteousness yet inside rottenness and dead
|
|
man's bones. No, the evil propagated by these teachers so outweighs
|
|
the good that we must reject them entirely. A little leaven leavens
|
|
the whole lump.
|
|
|
|
I, for one, am embarrassed by the Word-Faith teachers and I am
|
|
ashamed to be represented by them. These men represent Christianity
|
|
to millions. They present a false picture of what it means to be a
|
|
Christian and I think it is abhorrent. Michael Horton has rightly
|
|
asked, "Do those who occasionally view televangelistic programming
|
|
know that evangelical Christianity offers an intelligent
|
|
interpretation of and hope for human existence? Does the average
|
|
unbeliever come away from an ordinary telecast with a better grasp of
|
|
the substance of the Christian faith?" The Word-Faith teachers and
|
|
Trinity Broadcasting Network on the whole defeat their very purpose.
|
|
They seek to evangelize but they are only preaching to the choir. The
|
|
vast majority of people who watch already claim to be Christian, and
|
|
the occasional non-believer that tunes in is quick to see the
|
|
unreality presented and the apparent con-game that is going on. And
|
|
to make matters worse, the sparse amount of teaching that is usually
|
|
presented to the Christian is of the lethal type that we have been
|
|
discussing and instead of strengthening the body of Christ, it
|
|
poisons it.
|
|
|
|
What should we do? I see at least three things that can be done
|
|
and they are not minor operations. When a cancer is first recognized
|
|
in a body, the procedure to remove it is quick, easy, and relatively
|
|
painless if the cancer has been caught in its early stages. But when
|
|
a cancer has gone unnoticed for years and has been allowed to nurture
|
|
and infiltrate an entire body, then the procedure to remove it will
|
|
be much more complicated, slow, and painful. The Word-Faith teaching
|
|
is a spiritual cancer that has infiltrated the church to its very
|
|
marrow. We must take action now and it will not be pleasant.
|
|
|
|
First, the most obvious thing to do is to not support any of
|
|
these ministries monetarily. Don't watch any of the Word-Faith
|
|
teachers programs and encourage and warn others to do the same. Don't
|
|
buy their books. If your local Christian bookstore carries their
|
|
material let them know that you will not frequent their stores if
|
|
they continue to carry this spiritual cancer.
|
|
|
|
Second, take a stand for Jesus! Why won't the church take a
|
|
stand? I have asked myself that question over and over. Are we afraid
|
|
to attack evil in the supposed name of unity? Is it that we are so
|
|
far gone that we don't figure that it matters what you believe as
|
|
long as you "love Jesus"? If so, let's quit calling other religions
|
|
false and accept the cults into our fold. Let's bring in the
|
|
Jehovah's Witnesses who love their Jesus (even though to them he is
|
|
the archangel Michael, the first and greatest created being). Let's
|
|
bring in the Mormons, and the Unitarians, etc. Let's say good-bye to
|
|
the creeds and sound doctrine. Let's forget the stern warnings of the
|
|
Apostle Paul to beware of false teachers and false doctrine which
|
|
spreads like gangrene. Let's all just "love Jesus" (whoever that
|
|
Jesus might be to us)? NO! We cannot forget the creeds, we will not
|
|
abandon truth. We must obey our Lord when He tells us to "Beware of
|
|
the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
|
|
are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits" (Mat.
|
|
7:15-16). The fruit of the Word-Faith teachers is none other than the
|
|
fruit that the devil deceived our ancient mother Eve with. It is
|
|
still as deadly and still as putrid in God's sight as it was then.
|
|
The Word-Faith teachers and their movement must be actively opposed
|
|
and rejected as non-Christian! Who will stand for Christ?
|
|
|
|
Third, this would not have come about if more Christians knew
|
|
their Bible and what it taught. This would not have come about if
|
|
more Christians knew what the Bible has to say about the nature of
|
|
man, the nature of God, the doctrine of the trinity, etc. It is time
|
|
to return to teaching sound doctrine so that the common Christian man
|
|
can be armed against error. It is time to study the great
|
|
foundational doctrines of our faith so that we won't be deceived by
|
|
religious charlatans. Doctrine is not just for theologians. Words
|
|
like propitiation, sanctification, justification, trinity,
|
|
incarnation, predestination, redemption, etc. are not just useless
|
|
theological words but are the very foundations of the faith.
|
|
|
|
It's time to use our minds again. It's time to quit being so
|
|
emotional, mystical, and man-centered in our doctrine. It's time that
|
|
Christians took some in-depth journeys into the wonder of the Holy
|
|
Scriptures to find out about truth and reality. Christianity is
|
|
truth, and as Art Lindsley has rightly stated, "There is nothing that
|
|
produces emotion like the truth". Do you want a vibrant growing
|
|
faith? Search the Scriptures. Do you seek truth, real truth? The kind
|
|
of truth that infiltrates every area of your life with purpose and
|
|
meaning and joy! You won't find it on a TV station. You'll find it
|
|
when you spend time alone in an attitude of worship and prayer with an
|
|
open Bible and the very God of the Universe teaching you and loving you
|
|
through His blessed Holy Spirit applying His most Holy word directly to
|
|
your life. Theology is not always entertaining but it is always
|
|
enriching. It is a lot easier to turn on that TV and turn off your mind
|
|
but you'll be at a loss because of it, and you will miss out on one of
|
|
the most wonderful blessings of life: communion with the Living Lord.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
|
|
Stated most simply, the error of the faith movement is that they
|
|
exalt man and decrease God. They exalt man to God status and reduce
|
|
God to man's status. They are aware that what they are teaching is
|
|
unorthodox and controversial to say the least, yet they have no wish
|
|
to change their tune. They refuse to be accountable to anyone.
|
|
|
|
No man is an island unto himself. These men who are spokesmen
|
|
for the Christian faith to the public and represent the Lord Jesus to
|
|
millions through their television programs are preaching a different
|
|
Jesus, a different gospel, and a different spirit than what is
|
|
revealed to us in Holy Scripture.
|
|
|
|
The Apostle Paul has some strong words for these men and with
|
|
them I close. I pray we will take them to heart and that the Spirit
|
|
that so moved Paul to action against false teachings will move within
|
|
us to produce in us a holy zeal for truth!
|
|
|
|
"I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by
|
|
the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not
|
|
another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to
|
|
distort the gospel of Christ. But even though we, or an angel from
|
|
heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have
|
|
preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so I
|
|
say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to
|
|
that which you received, let him be accursed." (Gal. 1:6-9)
