![WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [2 of 3]; One founder was William Seymour who created the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. Those present at the time described absolute chaos with all in attendance wanting to preach, and most everyone did. Nobody stopped to ask for a testimony to even see if the speakers were saved. Even some local witches and sorcerers preached. Seymour realized who they were and stopped them from preaching but they continued to attend and practice their weird worship during the service. Also weird for a Church service, were reports of kissing between unmarried persons. Again, everyone preached, except Seymour, who just sat with his head in a crate and from time to time shouted, "Repent!” | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,christian,church,pray | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/436tu0.jpg)
![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 Qimby had none, which 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, Aimee Semple McPherson, who most all 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's the result of all those people: WOF was basically founded by biblically-UNTRAINED leaders who were not in the Bible and instead learned from PAGANS AND CULTS. Still, even with that non-biblical foundation, today they not only claim to be spiritual, but even more spiritual than other Christians, who they say are missing out on their teachings. Besides the false teachings, in this way they create still more division in the Church. Why do they do so? It's because they’re pushing false teachings that most don’t realize are actually just repackaged Hinduism. With only a name change to "Word of Faith teachers," our Church today has carbon copies of Hindu leaders; what I believe are modern-day Hindu gurus. | image tagged in pagan,cult,bible,god,jesus,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/436vq8.jpg)
![IS "WORD OF FAITH," JUST HINDUISM?
[4 of 4] Here are a few examples of what Word of Faith preachers are saying that is just Hinduism and not biblical: Jesse Duplantis: "The very first thing on Jesus' agenda was to get rid of poverty.” Excuse me?! Jesus said His priority was to destroy the works of the devil and to save us from sin. Frederick Price: "The apostles were businessmen. They were rich men that had plenty of money… Only rich people could take off for three and a half years… That's the reason why I drive a Rolls Royce. I'm following Jesus’ steps.”; But the Bible says, "In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories made up." Creflo Dollar: "I'm telling you, Jesus wasn't poor, and… Jesus didn't have no rags on. He wore designer clothes, honey!” Robert Tilton: "The only time people were poor in the Bible is when they were under a curse... Being poor is a sin.” But the Bible says this about Jesus giving up everything to come to earth as a poor man: “Though Jesus was rich, yet for your sake he became poor…” Just like Word of Faith preachers, there is another group of religious leaders who also live a lavish lifestyle, while teaching those who sent them all that money, that they too can become wealthy if they'd only practice the right force of faith with their words. That is exactly what Hindu
gurus claim, as well as how they also live. | image tagged in god,bible,hindu,faith,christian,fraud | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/43bo3y.jpg)
![Do Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons put a curse on their followers? [1 of 4] Thousands of years ago, as told in Galatians, Paul dealt with the same heresy that claims we make it to heaven through Jesus AND the Old Testament Law. This idea has been repackaged by the Seventh Day Adventists, yet Christians and others give them a pass. Paul says this:
"Have you suffered so much for nothing? Does God give you His Spirit and work miracles among
you because you observe the law [No!], OR is it because you believe what you heard [about Jesus]? The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles [us, non-Jews] by faith [in Jesus]… ALL WHO RELY ON OBSERVING THE LAW ARE UNDER A CURSE.” So whenever anyone, including Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, or you name it, claim Jesus is the way BUT you've got to keep certain laws or group rules, they are attempting to
preach a curse on you. I'm not saying that; it's God's Word. | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/43wk3p.jpg)
![Do Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, & Mormons put a curse on their followers? [4 of 4] To take on the law or group rules, as Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other cults make their people do, puts a horrible curse on those followers. But that's what sda is up to with their false works-based gospel, which is nothing new and just a repackaging of the same old heresy from way back at the beginning of the Church. SDA is not helping anyone and is instead putting people under a curse. That's what the Scripture says. You know, we can't even keep the first commandment. How many of us have loved the Lord our God with all your heart, mind, and strength every single day, perfectly? Don't say you have, or you'll also be guilty of violating the ninth commandment against lying. I'm just trying to help you. But my point is that we can't even make it past one requirement to achieve our own salvation without Jesus. It ain't gonna happen. We need Christ. It's the same with the Mormons. It's just another works-based cult. Cults are always works based! They start by getting their source of authority wrong and then all their other doctrine tumbles downhill from there. Ultimately, they get the wrong way to heaven because they don't trust in the free work of Christ alone that can't be used to control others. | image tagged in mormon,jehovah's witness,adventist,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/44ybsg.jpg)
![CAN WE ACHIEVE PERFECT HEALTH? [3 of 6] This quote from Word of Faith’s, Marilyn Hickey, is just wild. As you read it, keep in mind the Hindu false teachings about chanting mantras to supposedly attain perfect health and wealth. These false teachers really like to flip out when people say anything negative like the fact that we might feel a bit sick today. Their admonishment of us would go something like this: "Don't say that! You’ll make yourself sick! Don't you realize your words have power?"; But all that hype is just Hindu beliefs reflected in the behavior of the followers of Hinduism, New Age, and the Word of Faith movement. The latter is actually in the Christian Church. Here’s Marilyn Hickey: "Say to your body, 'You're whole, body! Why, you just function so beautifully and so well...you never have any problems. You're a strong, healthy body.' Or speak to your leg, or speak to your foot, or speak to your neck, or speak to your back.”
She might want to speak to a psychiatrist! I'm sorry, but this stuff is just crazy. She continues:
"Speak to your wife, speak to your husband, speak to your circumstances;
and speak faith to them to create in them. And God will create what
you are speaking.” No, He won't; God is not your butler. | image tagged in health,healing,hindu,new age,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/45t3az.jpg)
![CAN WE ACHIEVE PERFECT HEALTH?
[5 of 6] Contrary to the Bible, Word of Faith preacher, Frederick Price, says this: "How can you glorify God...when your body doesn't even work? What makes you think the Holy Ghost wants to live inside of a body where He can't see through the windows and He can't hear with the ears; where the limbs and organs and cells do not function right?”
What Price just said puts a stake in the heart of every person who has ever gotten a disease, been confined to a wheelchair, or had body parts that didn't work. Again, it's the same Hinduism mindset where Word of Faith followers donate money to get the trinkets and then use them to perform the guru's techniques, chanting the prescribed mantras. Then when the devotee remains in their wheelchair, what response do they get from their American guru? The false teacher actually has the audacity to say something like, "Well, you must be hiding some secret." or "You just don't have enough faith.” It’s easy to see why Peter said, “Their condemnation has long been hanging
over them and their destruction has not been sleeping.” | image tagged in health,healing,god,bible,hindu | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/45t4wi.jpg)
![Should we judge others? Of course; just as we judge when to cross a busy road. In fact, Jesus ORDERS us to judge. Read Matthew 7, John 7, and especially 1 Corinthians 6. Today’s secular society, along with some in the Church, use “Relativism” (all truth is relative so no one’s truth is absolute), or as it called today: “Tolerance." The NEW definition of tolerance says we need to praise and celebrate everyone's beliefs and lifestyles. This effectively stops us from judging anyone for anything. Advocates site Matthew 7:1: “Judge not, that you be not judged.” Yet, taken alone, this is out of context. We need to read on in Matthew 7. The full text tells us to get rid of our hypocrisy first and then help out our brother who is wrong: “...then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye.” So saying we should not judge is completely twisting Scripture. And Jesus clearly orders us to judge in John 7: “Stop judging by mere appearances and MAKE A RIGHT JUDGMENT.” [Emphasis added.] He clearly tells us to make a judgment. But when we do so, we are to do it right; don't be a hypocrite about it. The Bible's definition of tolerance is this: “Love the sinner but hate the sin.” And 1 Corinthians 6 is the nail in the coffin for relativism with its new definition of tolerance, which tells us not judge anyone for anything. The Apostle Paul said this: "If any of you has a dispute with another, do not take it before the ungodly for JUDGEMENT; instead of before the Lord's people. Do you not know that the saints will JUDGE the world and if you are to JUDGE the world, are you not competent to JUDGE trivial cases? Do you not know that we will JUDGE the angels? How much more, things of this life? Therefore if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as JUDGES even men of little account.” [Emphasis added.] Even in secular society we have laws, courts, law enforcement, settlements, jail, and prison. For someone to tell you we should not judge anything or
anyone is as ridiculous as you've probably thought it is. | image tagged in god,bible,jesus,judge,christian,salvation | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/48irw8.jpg)
![WHERE DO THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE OFTEN COME FROM?
[1 of 2] Demons work with Satan and the Bible’s John 8 tells us the devil is the father of all lies, as well as murder. So, it's not a surprise at all that a non-Christian, who gets possessed by a demon, would have that foul spirit try to kill its host. When I was involved with the occult, I was not just demonically oppressed, but most likely multiply-possessed (from asking these entities to come inside me in hopes of receiving power). So, they obliged; setting up shop and commencing to drive me insane as their way of killing me. The goal of Satan and his demons is to trick each of us into staying away from Jesus, (which is the only way for us to get to heaven), as long as needed for us to take our last breath and end up in hell. And by the way, the types of distractions they throw at us can include getting involved in the occult. Anything is fine with them just as long as you don't go down that Jesus route; as long as you don't turn to Jesus on the cross, trusting in His work alone and asking Him to forgive your sins. Why do you think the ecumenical movement (the push for a one world religion) allows all beliefs except the biblical reality
of confessing that Jesus is the ONLY way? | image tagged in satan,demons,god,suicide,salvation,devil | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/48mey8.jpg)
