Name it claim it Faith movement is faith in faith.."just believe"

Do you believe that your faith can override God's will and plan? Or is HE to bend His will to yours?

Oh please, how in the world did you get THAT... out of what I said? Please don't put words in my mouth or twist what I've said.. just to have a premise to be argumentative. Not nice.

I'll turn your question around: if "God's will" overrode everything, then you would have no choice about whether to accept Jesus. Indeed, there would be no reason whatsoever for anyone to live on earth. He could just "zap" and make us all believers. But HE said He wouldn't do that. And it is written (do you really want me to find the verse?) that God has magnified HIS WORD even above HIS NAME. That tells me that God can't lie, and if HE says I am to have something, then I should have it. If I don't have it, it must be MY fault, not His because He already said it.

And no, it's not "faith in faith." That is anti-faith gibberish. It is faith in the Word of GOD, because ONLY the Word has power---faith in anything else is useless. And to keep calling faith "name it and claim it" is like calling Catholics "papists." Clever, but erroneous in the extreme.
