IS THE "WORD OF FAITH" MOVEMENT JUST WESTERNIZED HINDUISM? [3 of 4] Unfortunately, most followers of the Word of Faith movement don't realize it is basically the practice of Hinduism. And it’s not just similar. The core beliefs are the same. The Word of Faith movement has taken Hindu teachings, slapped Christianese on them, and used those false teachings to defraud folks in the Christian Church. The Hindu bill of goods that these Word of Faith people are selling goes something like this: You can get anything you want if you have enough belief, speak the right words, use the force of faith, send the TV preacher money to get trinkets, and repeat phrases over and over—but that is Hinduism! Hindus are taught to use the "God force" by utilizing mantras (repetitive chanting) to create their own reality. World of Faith leaders adopted those Hindu practices, only changing the terminology.
