I'm sorry, Steko. How about this one.
As I said, I was in the Word - Faith Movement. I went to Copeland revivals in St. Louis. I've read countless books by Copeland, Hagen, Savelle, Oral Roberts, Marilyn Hickey, etc. I spoke in tongues as did my wife. We nearly double-tithed every year. The New Age Movement started to infiltrate Grace World Outreach Center in St. Louis County. It's now known as Grace Church. My wife told me about the shenanigans going on during the "Happy Hunters" crusade some years before I became a Christian. God opened our eyes. If the Holy Spirit doesn't convict you that striving for riches which are perishable instead of developing a closer relationship with Jesus is more important, no amount of words on my part will ever be adequate. I prefer not to waste my limited amount of time left on this planet on fruitless endeavors.
You're paraphrasing, it's: "God said it, I believe it, that settles it." -- Smith Wigglesworth (one of the founding fathers of the Word of Faith). TV Preachers aside: Blood + Word = Defeat of Dragon.Actually, scripture + Faith = experience.
You see, even if I never ever saw anything, I'd still believe it because the word says it.
Acts 28. From then on, in Paul's letters, he never again refers to Israel as Israel or to Jews as Jews.
I already blew this out of the water weeks ago. The Greek is very specific on what the man had faith for, and it was to be saved, not to be healed.
Pure wishful thinking. Quit eisegeting.
Exactly. Because the gifts were gone, and remain gone. God CAN and DOES heal today, if He chooses to do so. But He no longer uses healers or the sign gifts. Everything claiming to be such today is either delusion or demonic, or a blend of both.
Repent while you can or you'll be meat for the lying signs and wonders that are coming.
What teaching do you want discussed? Name it and claim it? Tongues versus languages?All the mocking aside, I was assuming this thread would lead to a discussion involving the teaching of word faith, but it continually yields posts attempting to expose media ministers. No longer interested until the teaching itself is dealt with.

Word faith.
The fact you don't even know what it is, makes me think you were just sucked into the world of media ministers and the prosperity gospel, and just became disillusioned with the whole thing like a poor wounded bird who fell for all the tricks and scams.
Boring same ole same ole.
Since you choose to speak ill of me instead of addressing my question, it very much reminds me of the "circle the wagons" attitude of the Word-Faith Movement. It's not very Christian of you to attack another Christian with verbal put-downs. I await your apology.Word faith.

Indeed, why the unnecessary strife __ born in the unbelief of the purpose of Pentecost and perpetrated by cessationism?
