I have been searching the net for any sound refutation of the word of faith doctrine, which I powerfully
adopt, when I found something interesting. Usually I enjoy reading all logical and biblical attempts to refute my doctrine,
because usually I use it to test whatever I believe on the Biblical basis. Though it is hard to change your beliefs, but for
me I prefer to be humble and change what I believe than to be in an error that can destroy my spiritual life.
In the
following parts I will be trying to explain what is the Word of faith in fact, as opposed to what people say about it. The
method I will use is that of point-by-point answers to every attack, using what Tricia Tillin claimed in her article "Ten
Reasons to Reject Word-of-Faith Teachings".
Point one : It requires 'revelation knowledge'
Point two : It makes the Almighty God and Creator a weak 'faith-being' who is at the mercy of His own universal laws.
Point three : It makes the Divine Son of God into a born-again man who had to die in Hell to pay the price for our treason
Point four: It elevates man to equality with Jesus.
Point five : It makes man a god.
Point six: It makes the redemption into a restoration of dominion for mankind
Point seven: Its goal is the transformation of the earth by spiritual dominion.
Point eight: It replaces prayer with
confession, and God's will with the manipulation of 'forces'.
Point nine: It denies the reality of sin and sickness.
Point ten: It focuses on self and the world instead of God and Heaven.
