Is the Word of Faith movement Biblical? "teachings range from completely heretical to completely ridiculous" "a peculiar mix of orthodox Christianity and mysticism" "its theology just strays further and further from Scripture" "...the Word of Faith movement exalts man to god-status and reduces God to man-status." "Our hope is in the Lord, not in our own words, not even in our own faith (Psalm 33:20-22)." "Countering Word of Faith teaching is a simple matter of reading the Bible." 'The Word of Faith movement is deceiving countless people, causing them to grasp after a way of life and faith that is not biblical. Our hope is in the Lord, not in our own words, not even in our own faith (Psalm 33:20-22). Our faith comes from God in the first place (2 Peter 1:1), and is not something we create for ourselves. So, be wary of the Word of Faith movement, and any church that aligns itself with Word of Faith teachings.' ____________________ www.gotquestions.org/Word-Faith.html |

Is the belief that God gives specific financial blessing when you give generously only a Word of Faith dogma or do we all believe it is taught by Scripture? | ||||||

Greetings Robin! I think the problem with the WOF dogma is that they turn God's generosity into a law that He MUST follow. They would have us believe that if I give 10.00, God then must give me 1,000.00. However, I note that the TV evangelists who hold to this particular doctrine do not send me 10.00. If their understanding is correct, would not God then give tham a 1,000.00. :-) God definitely blesses a cheerful giver. We definitely cannot outgive God. But, there is not set percentage that God is bound to, nor is it necessarily true that all of our blessing will be financial. A true Christian should give out of love for God, not for financial gain. p.s. - Welcome to the forum! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
