Is the WOF movement from God?

According to this guy in Charisma News, you would think that the Word of Faith movement was the next step in God’s restoration of His church, something akin to the Reformation!

The problem that I have with Tom Brown’s defence of the WOF heresy, is that he deals with a very small part of the heresy: the name-it-and-claim-it part. And then he softens that part to look like the everyday variety of faith that WOF is supposed to be restoring to the church.

I wrote a series of blog posts on this heresy back in 2005. I simply called it “Heresies in the church.” In this series you will discover the complete destructiveness of the many heresies that the WOF guys preach. They mess the atonement of Christ up completely, claim that He took on the nature of Satan on the cross, also that Jesus had to be saved in hell, Jesus had to be born again just like you and I had to, that Christians are Gods just like Jesus.

It is clear that these preachers, of which there are many, are preaching a false gospel, and according to Paul, they are cursed and hence not from God!

Todd Bentley and his healing revivals

Todd Bentley is at it again with his healing revivals and it is being shown on God.tv. A friend of my wife’s alerted my wife to this revival and so my wife asked me about him. “Todd Bentley is a huckster!,” I said.

I have written about him before in 2008 in a post called Lakeland Revival: Not so much!

Joyce Meyer teaches heresy

My stance on Joyce Meyer and her fellow WOF heretics, is that she is involved in the teaching and preaching of heresy.

Mat Slick from CARM has written a short article on Meyer and her heresies. It is always good to know what these people teach, because you probably know someone who has been hooked by Meyer or others like her.

Seminar on WOF false teachers with Justin Peters

Justin Peters is in South Africa to do seminars on the dangers of Word-of-Faith (WOF) teachers, otherwise also known as prosperity teachers, or name-it-and-claim-it teachers.

This seminar is aptly named, “A Call for Discernment.” He will be in South Africa until 17 June. His first seminar was on 1-2 June, which I attended. His schedule for South Africa can be viewed here.

During the seminar, Justin covers all the main heresies that these faith teachers proclaim. This was nothing new to me, as I did a blog series back in 2005 on these heretical preachers and their deadly doctrinal cocktails.

During the seminar, video and audio clips are presented to show what these false teachers teach. People like Benny Hinn, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Jessie Duplantis, Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar and more.

When I did my series back in 2005, I bought books and audio tapes of these teachers so that I could accurately present their deadly poison. To see many of these people on video just makes it so much more real.

The whole time while Justin was teaching, he kept a gentle attitude concerning these false teachers, but remained resolute against their demonic teachings.

I wonder what the Word-of-Faith false teachers will say about this?

Benny Hinn: Dark lord of the Sith

This Youtube video may seem humorous, and it is intended that way, but it represents a con that has been going on in the church for too long now. Men, like Benny Hinn, continue to proclaim their heresies to a people who have no understanding, it seems. Who will stand up against these men who are clearly leading the sheep astray?

Read my blog series on preachers like Hinn and others (Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Joyce Meyer, Jerry Savelle, Fred Price, etc), called Heresies in the church, to see how these people twist the Scriptures God has given us!
