Kenneth Hagin apparently had no conscience about copying word for word his "revelations" of the Word of Faith from Kenyon's books, published some time earlier...
The original works are the rights of KENYON'S GOSPEL PUBLISHING SOCIETY.
E.W. Kenyon
The twenty-second psalm gives a graphic picture of the crucifixion of Jesus. It is more vivid than that of John, Matthew or Mark who witnessed it. But He says the strangest words, "But thou art holy." What does that mean? He is becoming sin.....
(Waht happened from the Cross to the Throne [Seattle: Kenyon's Gospel Publishing Society, 1969, 44-45])
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
The 22nd Psalm gives a praphic picure of the crucifixion of Jesus-more vivid than that of John, Matthew or Mark witnessed it. He utters the strangest words "But thou are holy." What does that mean? He is becoming sin....
("Christ our Substitute", The Word of Faith [March 1975 ]),pp. 1,4,5,7)

The 8 books by Hagin stretch from 1973-1981. Rhema Bible Training Center was founded in 1974. Talk about the irony of it all.
Check out what Kenyon's own daughter has to say about this....
Surprised by this?
Almost forgot to ping you concerning this.
I can't help being curious about these folks, since we lived in Broken Arrow for four years. They had a great Christmas light display, including Ken Hagin's face in lights :-).
Quick someone ping Hanegraaff
A nutcase.

Sick Miracle Workers: Sick Faith Healers

God can heal, and does, but many of these so-called "Faith Healers" carry this understanding to the extreme.
It's not plagiarism, it's called blasphemy.
I knew a Baptist missionary about 25 years ago who got caught up in K. Hagan's ministries. He taught an adult bible class at the local church and slowly lost all of his students as they bailed out and got into other classes. Soon He and I were the only ones in the class and I opposed him on nearly every thing he then taught. The church leadership then removed him from his teaching position.
Once he had car trouble. He spent all night in the car trying to "pray the demon" out of it.
Surely Kenneth Hagin wouldn't try to bring any attention to himself? /sarcasm off.
There was a Christian scholar(can't seem to remember his name) who stated something to the effect of 'plagiarism is bad enough, but to plagiarize heresy???'
Happens all the time. Most of the heresies surfacing today are just updated versions for falsehoods from the first three centuries. As Ecclesiastes says, "there is nothing new under the sun."
Kind of reminds me of those who would have bald or balding tires on their cars and when one of them goes flat they blame it on the devil.
More than one person has told me stories about people they came across who blamed practically everything on the devil.
Really sad to see people caught up in belief systems like that.
Exactly.
***but to plagiarize heresy???'***
You aught to look at Ellen G. White's books and what they were coppied form.
Years ago Time mag did an expose on her "writings".
form = from.
