I could look it up on Google or Wikipedia but I want to hear it from the source. Who are you guys? What are you about? What are some of your important doctrines that separate you from others? Just a curious seeker dropping by.

So like....healing and stuff by reading the bible? Also biblical literalism is a common thread I see here; like all of the 7-day creation and stuff literal? Thanks.

Not sure why you are confused. Healing comes from what Jesus did on the cross 2000 years ago - faith for that healing so we can receive it comes from hearing the Word of God.
Yes, Word of Faith people read the Bible literally. I believe in a 6-day creation is because that is what the Bible teaches.
My rule of thumb is what I call the 15 year old rule. If I leave a 15 year old with no experience of religious nonsense in a room alone with a Bible, what would they honestly think when they finished reading it?
They would be a six day creationist, there is not a chance in a million they would come out a cessationist.
If you do not read the Bible literally then you are judging the Bible in some way - using either reason or tradition or experience. If this is the case, then reason or tradition is your authority, not the Word of God.
Blessings,
Ben

We act upon the Word of our Father, in faith, and we receive.
