> Amen, brother! The WOF teaching actually has its origins in Christian Science and the teachings of others like E.W. Kenyon. It DID NOT originate with Pentecostalism, but it appeals to Pentecostals because many Pentecostals grew up disenfranchised, and poverty stricken. The message thus appeals to them for obvious reasons, but not biblical ones. Many in the A/G including myself have difficulty when opposing the WOF teaching within our ranks. Many of our church members keep TBN in business. Thanks for the Fred Price quote in context, since I was using my memory when I paraphrased it.

Dave:

Actually, WOF does not adhere to Christian Science. Christian Science denies the reality of sickness. WOF doesn't! Christian Science denies the reality of hell. WOF don't! Christian Science has a different Jesus. WOF doesn't! There is a huge difference between WOF and Christian Science. Christian Science is a non-Christian cult because it denies the Deity of Christ. WOF believe and uphold the Deity of Christ, The Trinity, His Bodily Resurrection, His atonement...
