Who would you consider to be Wof?
Do you know any ministries that gets called WoF that you don't think should be?

| | | | I think it is very important to realize that just because a person teaches some WOF teachings, that does not mean everything they teach is embraced by consensus by all WOF believers.
For some reason, people have the notion that every word that a Hinn or a Copeland says is automatically WOF material and gospel. I know of no other group where this happens. The Lutheran church is not hung with all of the strange things Martin Luther said, nor is the Methodist Church called down because of Wesley's "unusual" positions on some issues. Yet let any wof teacher make an off the wall comment or and outright ridiculous statement... and suddenly all wof believers embrace it and we are all heretics.
One thing we as WOFers have to do is to acknowledge the absurd when it is absurd. We should not feel compelled or obligated to defend everything any wof teacher says. |

Rodney Howard-Browne, for the most part, is Word of Faith.
As is Christian Harfouche.
I attended Rodney's ministry school there in Tampa and most of what shaped my doctrine today after having a move of God in my life stems from the teaching and revelation that I received while I was there.
He had Roy Hicks come in and teach a week on Confession and WoF.

Galatians 3:19 - What then was the purpose of the Law? It was added because of transgressions and [to make men more conscious of the sinfulness] of sin; and it was intended to be in effect until the Seed (the Descendant, the Heir) should come, to and concerning Whom the promise had been made.

| | | | E.W. Kenyon stands out on strictly "in Christ" issues... which is the core of all WOF teaching. Who we are in Christ, what we have because of Christ, and what we can do because we are in Christ. This is the legal basis for Christianity. Kenyon was one of the first to cast aside conventional teaching and doctrine and launch out solely on the word. He decided to step out and believe God. I learned more from his books in the summer of 1977 than in all the books I read in the last 33 years as a Christian. All of his books are great.
If you can only get a couple, get:
"The Father and His Family" & "What Happened from the Cross and the Throne".
Others:
"The Two Kinds of Knowledge"
"The Wonderful Name of Jesus"
"Jesus the Healer"
"The Two Kinds of Faith"
"In His Presence"
"New Creation Realities"
"The Hidden Man"
"The New Kind of Love"
"The Two Kinds of Life"
Hagin expands on Kenyon by adding the element of the Holy Spirit, the 5 fold ministry, the gifts, speaking in tongues, and the more practical elements of faith. Being called as a partial prophet, his teaching actually is more foundational than most of the others. I find it much easier to listen to his tapes than to read his books. I believe most of his books are just transcriptions of sermons anyway.
Books:
"I Believe in Visions"
I enjoy reading Fred Price and Charles Capps... but they are more on the teaching side which means they have more freedom and liberty in their style and content. If you can get some of the material by Don Gosset, he has a good style.
To be honest, I have not been that tuned into Copeland. I am sure he is wof, but have never been able to get my head around some of his stuff. Maybe it is just a matter of style. I dunno.
The wife loves to hear Creflo Dollar.
One of the best authors is T.L. Osborn. Easy to read. He has an excellent book on healing which I recommend to all: "Healing the Sick" |

Bob Yandian's church is in my neighborhood, He is a very good teacher/preacher.
His church is wonderful, we visit there occasionally, they have a full size old fashioned carousel in the childrens department and an ice cream shop with about as many flavors as Baskins-Robins, although I don't go just for the ice cream its an added benefit.

We read Kenyon and T.L. Osborn in our Rhema studies, I would also throw in F.F. Bosworth as a worthwhile read.
