1 | A FALSE TEACHING? Yes / No | Matt 8:5 | gracefull | 94175 | ||
Darci, Where did you hear this? WOF teaches the only criteria for salvation is repentance and confession of the Lord Jesus Christ as saviour. Kenneth Copeland statement of Faith(copied from their web site) We believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man. We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost. We believe in personal salvation of believers through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness, purity of heart and life. We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that healing is included in the Redemption. We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that all of these are available to believers. We believe in the Christian's hope-the soon-coming, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless |

Graceful Surely you didn't expect Copeland or anyone else to put something in their "what we beleive" that would tip the average person to the fact they don't keep orthodox Christian theology. In my opinion Copeland teaches another Jesus and Paul says that is a sign of false teacher. You do with it what you want but the fact remains his Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible. EdB |

Hi Ed, "Surely you didn't expect Copeland or anyone else to put something in their "what we beleive" that would tip the average person to the fact they don't keep orthodox Christian theology." From my studies, I know what they believe. My question was to Darci an where she heard that one must believe the 'hell doctrine to be saved'? God bless |

Graceful What I was saying is false teachers give the appearance of truth but change just a little bit here and a little there. As you said Jesus died for our sins taking on our sins for us. Then you slipped in a little error you said, “He descended. He was also seperated from the FAther. He cried out "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?" He was not merely quoting scripture when He said this. God had turned away because Jesus had taken the curse from mankind unto Himself.. Otherwise we would still all be lost.” Jesus decended in Hades which is translated hell and has mistakenly been connected with a place of punishment. Hades was the resting place for all the dead before Christ. It had two compartments one a hot dry place for those who lived unrighteous lives and another compartment known as Abraham's bosom or paradise. For Jesus to decend there would not separate him from God anymore than Abraham "God's friend" was while when he was in Hades. Jesus went there to preach the 'Good News' and lead captive captivity to heaven. Eph 4:8. Only the hot dry place is still occupied and will be until the Great White Throne Judgement. Why do you say God the Father turned away? This is not stated anywhere in scripture. Why do you say Jesus was separated from God? Again this is not stated anywhere in scripture. For God and Jesus to be separated would mean the Godhead is not one but two for how else do you separate one from itself. Secondly God looked at Satan the epitome of sin and did not turn away. God reached out to us when we were mired in sin so why would God have to turn from sin. This is old false teaching that has been repeated so long and so often it has become accepted as fact when in fact it is not. To be saved when Moses made the brazen snake you had to look upon it ( accept it, receive it, believe in it) just as we have to look upon Jesus on the cross for our salvation. Don't make more out of that than is there. We don't have to make Jesus' death more tragic than it is for salvation to occur. A lamb slaugthered was enough for the remission of sin once a year, Jesus became the lamb of God who died once for the atonement of our sins. We don't have to heap extra suffering, extra torment, extra anything - His death was sufficient. By adding a little here or placing meanings where they don't belong we soon invent another Jesus and this is where the problems begin. EdB |
