Whereas the errors of the Word/Faith movement are many, we will only deal with the most heretical on this page and the pages following. The following quotes cause me to believe that the Word/Faith leaders have left the realm of Biblical Christianity and have entered the world of the Cults.
"The righteousness of God was made to be sin. He accepted the sin nature of Satan in His own spirit. And at the moment He did so, He cried, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?" You don't know what happened at the cross. Why do you think Moses, upon instruction of God, raised the serpent upon that pole instead of a lamb? That used to bug me. I said, "Why in the world would you want to put a snake up there--the sign of Satan? Why didn't you put a lamb on tht pole?" And the Lord said, "Because it was a sign of Satan that was hanging on the cross." He said, "I accepted, in MY own spirit, spiritual death; and the light was turned off." ("What happened from the cross to the throne" audio tape)"When Jesus cried, "It is finished!" He was not speaking of the plan of redemption. There were still three days and nights to go through before He went to the throne....Jesus' death on the cross was only the beginning of the complete work of redemption."("Jesus--Our Lord of Glory," Believer's Voice of Victory 10, 4 (April 1982)
"that Word of the living God went down into that pit of destruction and charged the spirit of Jesus with resurrection power! Suddenly His twisted, death-wracked spirit began to fill out and come back to life. He began to look like something the devil had never seen before. He was literally being reborn before the devil's very eyes. He began to flex His spiritual muscles....Jesus was born again--the first-born from the dead"("The Price of it All," Believer's Voice of Victory 19, 9 (September 1991)
"The Spirit of God spoke to me and He said, "Son, realize this. Now follow me in this and don't let your tradition trip you up." He said, "Think this way--a twice-born man whipped Satan in his own domain." And I threw my Bible down..like that. I said, "What?" He said, " A born-again man defeated Satan, the firstborn of many brethern defeated him." He said, "You are the very image, the very copy of tht one." I said, "Goodness, gracious sake alive!" And I began to see what had gone on in there, and I said, "Well now you don't mean, you couldn't dare mean, that I could have done the same thing?" He said, "Oh yeah, if you'd had the knowledge of the Word of God that He did, you could've done the same thing, 'cause you're a reborn man too." ("Substitution and Identification" 1989 audio tape side 2)
"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed"Galatians 1:8
