![WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [1 of 3] This question is related to the false claim that biblical "speaking in tongues" can be gibberish: Around 1900, with little biblical education, Charles Parham invented the idea that the language spoken in tongues MUST be unknown, meaning it must be gibberish. Parham attracted students and insisted they wear the latest clothing fashions, which goes right along with today's Word of Faith people who tell us that Jesus wore designer clothing. So, this guy Parham was the person responsible for originating the unknown-tongues thing, even though his first female student, Agnes Ozman, is now accredited by the charismatic community as the first person to speak in gibberish tongues.
But her-teacher Parham did that, and even Ozman did not believe him. She taught that it must be a KNOWN language—in her case, Chinese. That account shows that even the charismatic leaders have not gotten their foundational history right. Now, let me give you what Agnes Ozman actually uttered, what she characterized as "Chinese." Though this will be hard to believe—and a bit funny if not so tragic for those following her teachings—this has been well documented. Without ever studying Chinese, Ozman not only claimed to speak it, she also said she could write it, both of which were untrue. Here's a partial transcript of what she supposedly said in Chinese: "Lazzo, lauzo, logal, eenie, meenie, minie, moe.” I did not make that up! And even if she blurted out some legitimate
Chinese, which she didn't because we know what she said, a Chinese
message would not end with the English phrase, “eenie, meenie,
minie, moe”—unless she was randomly choosing lunch. | image tagged in word of faith,prosperity preacher,god,bible,scam,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5tblol.jpg)
![WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [2 of 3] One founder was William Seymour, a student of Charles Parham, and the creator of the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. Those present at the time described absolute chaos, and everyone wanting to preach—most did. Was any speakers vetted to see if they were even Christians? Did anyone ask for a testimony to see if those
teaching the crowd were even saved through Jesus? No, and no. Even some local witches and sorcerers preached. At least Seymour realized they were occult people and stopped them from preaching, but those occult followers continued to attend and practice their weird worship—of who? Also strange for a Church service were reports of kissing between unmarried
persons. One of those who did not preach was Seymour, who just
sat with his head in a crate; from time to time he shouted, "Repent!” | image tagged in word of faith,prosperity preacher,bible,god,jesus,scam | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5tbmmq.jpg)
