Subject: what is a charismatic church |
Bible Note: Jeshuafreak: I was trying to be tender and not offend anyone. So I gave room for others to speak and give theie opinion. Kenneth Hagin has said quote: Man was created on terms of equality with God, and he could stand in God's presence without any consciousness of inferioity. end quote. Other Word-Faith teachers have said some other quotes I would like to share with you. Quote: Satan conquered Jesus on the cross. end quote, by Kenneth Copeland. Quote: You're not looking at Morris Cerullo--you'er looking at God. You'er looking at Jesus. end quote, by Morris Cerullo. quote: Never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say If it be thy will....Don't allow such faith-destroying words to be spoken from your mouth. end quote, by Benny Hinn. Quote: God has to be given permission to work in this earth realm on behalf of man.....Yes! You are in control! So, if man has control, who no longer has it? God. end quote, by Frederick K.C. Price. Quote: Not all Faith teachers subscribe to exactly the same beliefs on every point of doctrine, but they do hold on to an aberrant core of doctrine that rightly places them within the broad outlines of the Faith movement. end quote by, Hank Hanegraaff. CHRISTANITY IN CRISIS Harvest House Publishers 1993. pages 12-13. Again quoting Hanegraaff's book onpage 14. The Faith movement is every bit as cultic as the teachings of the Mormons, the Jehovah's Witness, and Christian Science. It is not worthy of a true Christian's support. ....the Faith movement does not represent biblical Christianity.....the Faith movement long ago departed from orthodox Christianity. and again Hanegraaff says on page 30 and I quote: There is no denying that much of Faith theology is dervived directly from metaphysics. Some of the sibstance, style, and scams endemic to the movement, however, can be traced to teachings and practices expressed primarily by certain post-World War ll faith healers and revivalists operating within Pentecostal circles. With regard to substance, for example, both Kenneth Cpoeland and Kenneth Hagin point to T,L, Osborn and William Branham as true men of God who greatly influenced their views and ministries. Of course, Osborn himself has consistently followed E.W. Keynyon's Scripture-twisting practices, and Branham has among other things, denounced the doctrine of the trinity as coming directly from the devil. Unfortunately, Hagen and Copland are not alone in affirming Branham; Faith proponent Benny Hinn gives him hearty approval as well.....In addition Hinn has given his endorsement to notorious revivalist A.A. Allen. a huckster if ever there was one. end of quotes from Hanegraaff. I was quite sure, in fact 100 percent sure, of what Pentecostals believe. Yes saying things you are not sure of can danage others reputation. I was trying not to offend anyone, so there could be some dialogue with tenderness of words. I agree that I should check my sources, and I am carefull to do so. I have quoted from Hank Hanegraaff who you can look up on www.Equip.org should you want to hear and read what these Faith leaders have said. I have quoted Hanegraaff's book and the words are not mine, they have been taken directly from their mouths. So if you believe in the trinity, I am glad. I think I have proven by the Faith movenents leaders quotes they do not. I sincerely present this in a humble way. agape, justme |
