Kenneth Hagin stated that he received his teachings form Jesus Christ. Hence he must have received them from 'revelation knowledge.'


1.) "Every man who has been born again is an incarnation and Christianity is a miracle. The believer is as much an incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth" (Kenneth Hagin, "The Incarnation," The Word of Faith 13, December, 1980).

False. Jesus Christ is the only Incarnation of God. The Only begotten Son of God.


2.) "You are as much the Incarnation of God as Jesus Christ of Nazareth...the believer is as much an incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth." (Kenneth Hagin, "The Word of Faith" Dec. 1980, p.14)

This is Blasphemy. The believer is not as much the incarnation of God as was Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Jesus Christ is the only Incarnation of God.


3.) "His spirit and inner man went to hell in my place. Can't you see that? Physical death wouldn't remove your sins. He's tasted death for every man. He's talking about tasting spiritual death. Jesus is the first person that was ever born again. Why did His spirit need to be born again? Because it was estranged from God." ( Kenneth Hagin, "How Jesus obtained His name" (Kenneth Hagin Ministries, audio tape #44-H01)

The Word of God says explicitely and undeniably that Christ's death on the cross paid for our sins. Nothing more was needed beyond that.

Jesus Christ was never born again in hell. Hagin taught this, as did Copeland, Keith Butler and Creflo Dollar.

4.) "man...was created on terms of equality with God, and he could stand in God's presence without any consciousness of inferiority...He made us the same class of being that He is Himself. He lived on terms equal with God...The believer is called Christ, that's who we are; we're Christ"[/b] (Kenneth Hagin, Zoe: The God Kind of Life, pp.35-36, 41).

We are not the same class of being that He Himself is. We were created in His image. Nothing more. That teaching is false, blasphemous and Gnostic in origin.

Man has never lived on terms of equality with God. What was he thinking when he wrote this?

The believer is not Christ. We are not Christ! This teaching is false and blasphemous as well.

It is time for Charasmatics/WOF-ers to realize the error of these revelation knowledge teachings of Kenneth Hagin. There are many more errors of his beyond these as well.

Here are some additional things to consider

"Spiritual death means something more than seperation from God. Spiritual death also means having Satan's nature...Jesus tasted death--spiritual death--for every man."

http://www.myfortress.org/KenHagin.html

additionally: "Spiritual death means having Satan's nature." (Hagin, The Name of Jesus, p.31)

Blasphemous teaching. Jesus never tasted Satan's nature. Jesus never had Satan's nature.

Remember, the Word of God states that we as Christians are to warn the body of Christ concerning false teachers/teachings. We are to earnestly contend for the faith.

Brother ProAmerican,

I understand your zeal for Christ that made you study Brother Hagin and his writings. And I see there are certain merits in what you wrote.

Brother PA, I would like to ask you a favor. Let us remember Jesus' teaching that unless we are more righteous than the scribes and lawyers, we will not enter the kingdom of God.

Say that Brother Hagin was a foul man. But Hagin said and did in the name of Jesus. If the scribes had certain righteousness, then Brother Hagin must have had more righteousness. Would you kinidly study his righteousness, so that we can strive to exceed his righteousness? I wonder if that would be more productive than studying his unrighteousness, as far as we are concerned. Thank you, Brother PA.

Rupert

Warning the body of Christ about false teachers/teachings isn't being scribal or lawyer-like, it is doing the biblical command to do such. If one warns the body of Christ concerning falkse teachers/teachings one is doing what the scriptures say to do. All that remains is for Charismatics/WOF-ers to reject these false teachings by Hagin and co.

Saying and doing something in the name of the Lord does not make one righteous. Do you not understand this? Jesus Christ said that "many will say in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not do many wonderful works in thy name... and Jesus said He would say unto them: Depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

What matters more than anything is truth. That which is not biblical and is taught as such is a lie. If what someone teaches is not the truth, it is to be rejected, and they are to be rejected if they continue to preach these lies, especially those who teach damnable lies in the name of the Lord.

I am not studying his unrighteousness as you say. I am showing that he taught numerous falsehoods, and he is to be rejected as a false teacher. Period. We should not follow the teachings of a blasphemer.

Go away maybe?

Will you please go on the record as rejecting these teachings of Hagin, or will your silence on them show that you agree with them?

Yes, many in the past wanted Jesus, Paul, John the Baptist, James, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and etc, etc... to go away when they showed others the falseness of things they had been taught and believed in.

It amazes me that just because Hagin is beloved by many Charismatics that they remain silent when he is shown to be a false teacher, and has taught damnable lies.

It seems, perhaps, that they love their Charismaticism/WOFism more than they love the truth.

Perhaps you are in that group as well?

I would not want anyone to “protect” me from those who expose false doctrine that I may have fallen victim to. So long as we can stick to the doctrine and avoid smearing the man/woman, I feel that a service could be provided to help us all debate good and bad issues that confront us.

We do not wrestle against flesh and blood (people) “ but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms” (issues).

So long as we can stick to issues, I say bring the heresy hunters on. They may be true watchmen (or they may just be self-appointed witch hunters), but stopping the mouth of the watchman just because he is irritating does a city no good at all.

Back in the days of ancient Greece, people used to stand in the marketplace and listen to various teachers. Sometimes they'd ask to follow for a while to learn more from them.

Today, with access to so many more teachings, why would we try to put so much weight on the words of one man? We are continual learners, and should take responsibility for the particular truths we decide to cling to. We've put an awful burden of perfection on our thinkers.

Thank you for sharing ProAmerican!
I have been doing some investigation and the more I investigate the more I am astounded I am. Having said that, I am sure it is enough and I am so glad that
God is revealing to me things that are so freeing me from hangups I have had.
Investigating the scriptures and the sources of some of the multi-books, tapes,
speakers I have listened to were not always good in my search for God and my
own walk with HIM. I should have listened to Dad.

God Bless you.

might i say that you have taken some things out of context here. does it not say that greater works than these shall we do. it is talking about born again believers being able to preach the word with signs following so are we not Christlike, an incarnation of Jesus Christ. As far as Jesus descending into hell He did. One to get rid of the sin that was on Him and two to lead the righteous side of hell called paradise out. please study all of his writings and understand what he preached, this was truly a man of God used especially to teach and minister healing among the body of Christ.

You know, I believe in recycling, but when it comes to recycling again and again the same garbage that people post about the WoF, I would suggest leaving your recycled, read, and proven false information in the trash.

“Her priests have violated My law, and have profaned My holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them” (Ezek. 22:26).

“covetousness…is idolatry” (Col. 3:5).

Instead of attacking Christians who are mortified by the teachings of Hagin and his progeny, why do their supporters never cite scriptural basis for Jesus being "born again in hell?" and "taking on the nature of Satan."

We are not "little Gods," I don't care in what context you are speaking.


Kenneth Copeland said, "Now Peter said by exceeding great and precious promises you become partakers of the divine nature. All right, are we gods? We are a class of gods!" (Christianity in Crisis, p. 116). Benny Hinn said, "God came from heaven, became a man, made man into little gods, went back to heaven as a man" (Christianity in Crisis, p. 382 n. 43). Earl Paulk wrote, "Until we comprehend that we are little gods and we begin to act like little gods, we cannot manifest the kingdom of God" (Satan Unmasked, p. 97).

Satan wanted to be like the "most High," which caused his fall. After that, he tricked Adam and Eve into eating forbidden fruit, with the promise that the would be "As gods." It is the height of Satanism to proclaim that we are like "Gods."

Nietche's "Will to Power" philosophy is almost indistinguishable from "Word of Faith" doctrine and he was a self-proclaimed "anti-christ."

habeas, great documentation!

I think there are times in society where believers need to be pulled out of a severe self-denial phase (think middle ages). The seventies brought a lot of "take up cross" and "grain of wheat dying" teachings that warped into some strange things. When WOF teachers brought hope with love of identity teachings, people saw the balance and were freed from past oppression.

Now it's time for us to judge our hearts again and stay balanced. Listen to the whole body of Christ.

You know, if even JUST ONCE on this forum you were to actually start a thread (or even make a post) that wasn't an accusation/attack on someone you would probably have much more credibility than you do.

Scripture says that Satan is 'the accuser of the brethren'. Now, while your intent may be good-- the fact that you have only shown yourself as an accuser, never as one who builds up, encourages, edifies, or even just fellowships with other believers here, it really makes you come across as being on the 'wrong side of the fence', so to speak.

Just something to consider...

I totally agree with Father Rick.
The Supreme Council has evaluated this thread and has rated it on the low end of Positivability and Agreeability, and on the very high end of Negativilation. Therefore our church decides to distance itself from the OP of this thread. If Kenneth Hagin is responsible for bringing many souls to Christ, we would Agreeably forgive and ignore his faults, as Jesus Christ, as He died on the Cross of Calvary, forgave and chose to ignore our faults.
