![DAY 15: WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [3 of 3] Seymour had no biblical education because his teacher, Parham, had little, just as Parham’s teachers, Dowie and Sandford, had little to none. Besides them, the New Thought founder (and root of the Word of Faith movement), Phineas Quimby, had none. This meant his trainees, Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Science founder) and Warren Felt Evans, were also lacking biblical training. On top of that and going forward in time, Aimee Semple McPherson, who most Pentecostal and Word of Faith denominations come from, also lacked a biblical education. When you trace the history of the Word of Faith movement, here are their origins (and modern results tell us this): WOF was basically founded by biblically UNTRAINED leaders. They were not students of the Bible. Instead, they learned from PAGANS and CULTS. Still, even
with that non-biblical foundation, today they claim to be extra-spiritual, even more spiritual than other Christians. In fact, they say the rest of us suffer because we are missing out on their teachings. Besides the false teachings, in this way too, they create
division in the Church. Why do they do so? It’s because they are pushing
false teachings that most followers do not recognize as repackaged
Hinduism. With only a name change to “Word of Faith” teachers, our
Christian Church today has carbon copies of Hinduism’s leaders.
I believe WOF teachers are just modern-day Hindu gurus. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6x54v2.jpg)
![DAY 14: 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. Were 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 jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6x54bo.jpg)
![DAY 13: 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, Parham was the person responsible for originating the idea of unknown tongues, 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 it’s 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 part 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 jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6x53v8.jpg)
