i could be mistaken, but i believe that Joel Osteen's father was John Osteen who was one of the 'lesser lights' of the Word of Faith Movement. The "greater lights" were Kenneth E. Hagin, Kenneth Copeland (both of whom i refer to as "CopelandHagin"), Charles Capps, and others who i don't recall at the moment.

Well, in that case, I stand corrected. I hold that heresy in equal contempt to the one currently under examination -- and this I state as someone who was at one time (a LONG time ago) deceived by the likes of "The Kenneths".

Apparently "Baby Doc" has a different heresy than "Papa Doc", but when you get down to it, vomit is vomit.

Those "Word Faith Movement" are just a repackaged derivative of the Latter Rain Movement from the mid 20th Century. The Kansas City Prophets, etc. and all trace back to the end of the 19th century to a group of kooks.
