1 | Heresy Hunting or Biblical Mandate? | Matt 24:11 | Asis | 87039 | ||
When our faith is in teachers instead of THE TEACHER then we have trouble. We are diciples of Jesus not teachers or preachers. I am pleased to hear that you are binding up the broken hearted. I know that when religion gets taught people get hurt. I agree that our faith is to be in God and not in Faith. God cries out to us to believe. He does it with every sunrise and sunset. The stars in the sky shout down to us HE IS REAL. We should answer the lies with the truth. God will do the rest. Why do you feel that I would not want to discuss doctrine with you. You have already taught me that Paul named names. God reveals to His people the mysteries that are contained within His word. He did not make it so complicated that only a few can understand it and the rest must rely on them to understand it. God made His word simple. We make it complicated. Fill yourself with His word and He will renew your mind. Believe what He has said and His truth will set you free. 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. [KJV] Any time you want to talk doctrine I'm teachable. Check out my profile |

Asis "Why do you feel that I would not want to discuss doctrine with you." I assumed from some of your responses you weree a defender of the Word of Faith philosophy. EdB |

You said "Yes I think I know the doctrine well enough to discuss it, but I don't think you want to with me." That is why. Since I can't enumerate the doctrine of Word of Faith I can't say I am a proponent of their doctrine. I am a believer in the word of God. If He says I have life and life more abundantly then I believe Him. I profess the truth in my life and if that means to profess the word of God then that is what I do. His word says I am His righteousness because I believe Him then I am (Rom 3:22). That righteousness came through faith in Jesus Christ. I have that faith. His word says I am a partaker in the divine nature then I am (1 Pet 1:4. I believe that what God says He does (Numbers 23:19). If God says I am healed then I am. I believe we should engage in discourse with love, livng and talking the truth. I do not like propaganda tactics and will call anyone out when they use them. The truth needs no defending it needs telling. Religion is a tool of the enemy to keep the truth from us. I am a member of Brighton Assembly of God. I agree with their doctine in so far as it is not hamstrung with religion (i.e. baptism in the Holy Spirit with the only evidence speaking in tongues). I look forward to being sharpened by interacting with you EdB. Romans 3:4 Asis |

Understand the Assemblies of God is not Word of Faith. Therefore you may not know what word of Faith is. Again Word of Faith, is faith in faith not God. They try to manipulate God with their faith. God is Sovereign and while he is a rewarder of the faith God will not/can not be manipulated by it. Many confuse Word of Faith for Pentecostals or Charismatics. The WOF and true Pentecostalism is as different as night and day. Unfortunately some WOF philosophy is getting into the Pentecostal churches at alarming rates. I believe most of this comes from new believers watching the charlatans on Christian TV and falling hook line and sinker for their false teaching because they haven’t read the Bible for themselves.. The Doctrinal statements of Pentecostal churches stand in opposition to WOF teachings. I know the Assemblies of God have issued write written statements (white papers) condemning the teachings of Word of Faith. Word of Faith is considered a cult or an aberration to orthodox Christianity. It is not something to be discussed here on this forum as it has already been proven to be a deviation from the truth. If you want to learn more of this obnoxious teaching read, “Christianity in Crisis; Kingdom of the Cults; Counterfeit Revivals; A Different Gospel; The Word of Faith Controversy, understanding the health wealth gospel. Any these fine books will certainly enlighten and educate you on the aberrant teachings of Word of Faith movement. EdB |

EdB I receive what you say. I do not want to learn anything except what God has done and is doing in my life. This forum is a place where the truth is to be spread about. I guess I have a problem when I perceive a campaign to discredit an individual or a group of individuals by one sided commentary. It just goes against my grain when someone is accused by inuendo and is not able to confront their accuser. It reminds me of Rush Limbo (misspelling on purpose)when a caller would start to get an idea across to the audience and He would attack the caller personally. Not on the merits of the argument. It must be the fact that I have been the brunt of this kind of persecution. Antisemetism is still rampant and sometimes I see the same tactics being used on others with contrary beliefs. There are things that Baptists believe the are not correct, Catholics, Jews, Methodists, Anglicans and on and on. But we don't berate their leaders we quote scripture and guide them to ask God to reveal His truth. There is a string from two years ago titled "Caution: Hinn, Meyer, etc." it is seen when this string is viewed. Notice that Meyer is included in the title yet there is not one quote from Meyer in the the text. This is the type of thing I call out. Guilt by association is a propaganda tactic. This is NOT what the Forum is about. Watch out I think I'm about to wave the flag. We must be careful of what we say. Babies are listening. God is true to His word. A person with Jesus as Lord of their life, is walking in wealth and life abundantly no matter what the world perceives. I can own nothing yet be rich with all my needs supplied by my Father who owns the cattle on a thousand hills. Praise God. Loving Him and having the faith of God is what is important. May you have the peace, the shalom, of God in your life nothing missing, nothing broken. Jeff |

Jeff "There is a string from two years ago titled "Caution: Hinn, Meyer, etc." it is seen when this string is viewed. Notice that Meyer is included in the title yet there is not one quote from Meyer in the text." Understand these people have been asked about their unscriptural teaching and have refused to change. This wasn't done by a group of people out find fault with others, but rather a group of people God has placed in the ministry of “watchman”. These people study various teachings, obvious the more visible you are the more closely watched you are, and if they find aberrant teaching they approach the person (Matt 18) to see if it in fact is aberrant belief or a mistaken slip of the tongue. In many cases the person confronted sees the mistake, thanks them for pointing out the error and corrects their mistake. Others on the other hand have refused to accept correction and according to Matt 18 they are then exposed to the church. I know in many cases these watchmen have worked with offending preachers over years trying to reconcile them. I listened to Joyce Meyer years ago (15 or more) when she was just starting out on the Radio. She actually taught against some of the things she promotes today. What happened in her ministry is so very common as people try to make the move from small time ministry into a high demand ministry they seek for what draws people. Nothing draws people like the promise of unlimited health, wealth and happiness. If you don’t believe this watch the programs PBS run when they are doing pledge drives. I began with little compromises in her message and later it became more and more serious. Now their faced with a dilemma recant and possibly lose everything they have worked so long to obtain or deny that their teaching is aberrant to Christian orthodoxy. Well I think we all know the answer all we have to do is tune them in. Is the focus of their preaching serving Christ or being served. You have to filter through all the funny stories and all the hogwash and net it out. What did they teach today are we givers or takers. EdB |
