In the words of one Faith teacher, “Satan conquered Jesus upon the Cross.” Proponents of Faith theology say that Jesus endured three days and nights of unimaginable abuse at the hands of Satan and his hordes of demons in hell. This was God’s payment to Satan so that He could get back into a universe from which He had been banished
According to Faith theology, He was recreated from a divine to a demonic being. At this point the Trinity was destroyed and the deity of Christ utterly demolished. According to the Faith teachers, the Lord Jesus’ passion on the cross proved insufficient to redeem humankind, and so He had to be trapped and hauled down to the very pit of hell by Satan. It is there, while Jesus is tortured and tormented by a smiling Satan and a host of cackling demons, that we pick up the story.
God is a being who stands at 6 feet tall, weighs some two hundred pounds, and looks exactly like man.
Faith is a force, and words are the containers of that force. By carefully choosing your words, you can “speak your reality into existence
“Positive or negative, it is up to the individual. According to what the individual says, that shall he receive.”
“Pray to yourself, because I’m in your self and you’re in Myself. We are one Spirit, saith the Lord.”
“I say this with all respect so that it don’t upset you too bad, but I say it anyway. When I read in the Bible where he [Jesus] says, ‘I Am,’ I just smile and say, ‘Yes, I Am, too!’”
John Avanzini is convinced that “Jesus had a nice big house”, “Jesus wore designer clothes”, and “Jesus was handling big money”.
Fred Price also claims that Jesus was rich and that He left us with an example to follow. That is why Fred drives a Rolls Royce; he is following Jesus’ example!
“Being poor is a sin, when God promises prosperity. New house? New car? That’s chicken feed. That’s nothing compared to what God wants to do for you”
“You don’t have a god in you, you are one.”
“Every man who has been ‘born again’ is an Incarnation, and Christianity is a miracle. The believer is as much an Incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth.”
Failure to be healed is the result of a lack of faith, or very possibly the presence of sin manifesting itself.If by just reading this couple of their beliefs you are not convinced that this movement is a heretical movement I would humbly ask you in the Lord to check all their beliefs and compare them with the Word of God.We come to a conclusion, that the whole Word faith and the prosperity Gospel movement is a heretic movement and a movement that has to be rejected by all Christians. I am not saying that all word faith followers are bad people. Some of them are very sincere and good people. Allot of them do love the Lord but are deceived in their walk but, I believe that the majority of the Word faith movement is in that movement for the wrong reasons. Lot of them are after healing and prosperity and are after spiritual gifts and most of the time they fail to get in the word of God and search the scriptures daily. God did not call us to that, Jesus said in Luke 12:31 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” We are to seek the giver not the gifts.“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you keep your head in all situations.” (2 Timothy 4: 3-5)

I think that the word of faith doctrines are spiritually sound. They sound strange to some because what has been taught in the church for some has been religious and shallow in nature. I am in agreement that Jesus did have to die spiritually for our redemption. Many church fathers and Christian leaders have believed that Jesus died spiritually. This true doctrine did not originate with the Word of Faith teaches in this century.
