![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)
![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)
![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)
