An Examination of the Word-Faith Movement Part 1
So true Mike. But you really, should have stopped when you said “enough”...it really was enough. Glad you put in so many actual passages from the Bible, the only way to counter WOF is with the actual Word of God! Yet ...not all will hear... Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

“ Doctrine and Creeds are good if they are scriptural. Guess what those in apostasy say about that. Yes, that’s right. They say, “We don’t need no stinkin’ creeds!” Why do they say that? It is because the truths within them rebuke what they say and do. They do not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.

30 I and the Father are one.” John 10:30 (NASB)
Genuine Christianity, not the false versions of it, is unique when compared to the world’s religions. In fact, those false versions of it are just like the rest of the world’s religions in one regard that makes genuine Christianity absolutely unique. All other “religions” are based upon some form of works based theology and belief system in which a some form of justification is made through those works which increase the value of the person in that religion thereby gaining the reward. On the other hand, genuine Christianity is nothing like that at all. Salvation or justification comes as a result of something God has set out to do and has completed. Those who are justified were elected by Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1) based upon no works or deeds or value inherent…
