Bible Answer: Your question: "What doctrine do any of them teach that is not founded on scripture?" My answer: All of the following: In brief, the teachings of [the Word Faith movement] may be summarized as follows: God created man in “God’s class,” as “little gods,” with the potential to exercise the “God kind of faith” in calling things into existence and living in opportunity, (...) . . . Jesus Christ [as a man] died spiritually (thus taking upon Himself Satan’s nature), (Jesus took upon Himself Satan's nature? Tim, Charis, Reformer Joe, Ed, Hank, etc.: do any of you see a problem with this teaching?) went to Hell, was “born again,” rose from the dead with God's nature again, (Jesus was "born again" in Hell???) and then sent the Holy Spirit so that the Incarnation could be duplicated in believers, thus fulfilling their calling to be little gods. Since we are called to experience this kind of life now, we should be successful in every area of our lives. To be in debt, then, or be sick, or (as is often taught) be left by one’s spouse, and not to have these problems go away by “claiming” God’s promises, shows a lack of faith.
