Bible Question: Is the Word-Faith movement biblical? I have recently realized the Church I have been attending for the last month is WF based. It seems God is bound by His own laws to give me anything I desire if I have faith (they see faith as a gift of the spirit) enough to receive my blessings. By the way I am looking for a new Church since the experience of being in a “Toronto experience” type service last Sunday that was conducted by a visiting evangelist who is a major player in the WF movement. |
Bible Answer: As a veteran of both movements I say, move on. Not that I have any complaint with either movement, but because those bodies of teaching are related to events of the past, but our God is doing new things all the time. There is truth in both movements (try to get that part), but some of the errors (one of which you mentioned) are almost too strange for sane people to ponder. Just remember: the Bible and the voice of the Lord are your guides (they never contradict). In the end He will judge your actions by you obedience to those to influences; not your attention to the teaching of men (even very good men). I have every confidence He is your guide, and you are in His constant care, thus never fear to put your foot on the water. mark |
