Top Highlights

“All that is being claimed at this point is that the father of the Faith movement seems to have associated with a religious group that denied the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.” (source)

“Hagin’s followers read the Bible through the glasses of Hagin’s theology. They see in the Bible what they are taught to see, and little else.” (source)

“The Faith movement uses so much evangelical and Pentecostal terminology and so many biblical proof-texts that most believers are lulled into a false sense of security as to its orthodoxy.” (source)

“The word-for-word correspondences between Hagin’s writings and Kenyon’s cannot be attributed to coincidence, nor can they be attributed to a miracle of inspiration by the Holy Spirit.” (source)

“within the church, within groups that call themselves ‘Christian’ but which actually preach a different gospel” (source)
