The problem is that their teaching about the atonement is mixed with "we are gods", and that Jesus was born again when He rose from the dead, that because we are born again we are exactly equal with Jesus so that we are also messiahs, that God expects us to be wealthy, and always healed when we command it. So it is not just one mistake about the Atonement, it is that the whole foundation is rotten.I don't see how making a mistake about how much atonement Jesus made at the time of the cross, and how much was left over makes them unsaved; they still believe Christ suffered ALL ATONEMENT. I am just not quick to judge someone's salvation, based on scholarship of theology. But I can judge based on lack of power over sin. And interestingly, this is where others think I'M a heretic. There are so many focused on the atonement, that they don't recognize what Christ's atonement accomplished. Some say, He just paid the price so the sins they keep committing are covered and they are going to heaven. I say no. They are still in the flesh and have no inheritance in heaven. You MUST be born again of the Spirit and be a new creature in Christ.
I have always loved E W Kenyon's writing and have a few of his books. But I did a bit of research on him just this week and I found out that his theological training was done under a man who held to the teaching of Mary Baker Eddy, the woman who founded Christian Science. Then I realised that Kenyon's teaching is heavily based on Christian Science, which is a non-Christian cult. Then I saw that Kenneth Hagin memorised all of Kenyon's teaching and made them his own. And all the other WOF leaders have based their teaching on Hagin. This made me see oh so clearly that because of "we are gods" teaching that it is the multiple gods of Mormonism, and the positive confession and naming and claiming teaching comes right from Christian Science! So if the foundation of WOF teaching is a combination of Mormon and Christian Science, then it has to be a non-Christian cult!
This is shocking to me, because whole stadiums of gullible people are drinking all this naming/claiming, we are gods, and prosperity teaching in to their own destruction. Ezekiel 14:8-9 says that God is against false prophets and teachers, and also is against those who accept their teaching and prophecies! Now that is spooky to the max! I didn't realise until now how bad this was, and that those who subscribe to WOF teaching are in real danger.
So, anyone can make mistakes but have their foundations secure in Christ. I know that you are not basing your foundation beliefs on cultish doctrines like Mormonism and Christian Science, but on the true Christ of the Bible.
