...are those which take a verse or two out of context and twist it so that it isn't even recognizable as the word of the Lord. I'm afraid those "name and claim it" preachers are notorious for this....

I'm afraid those "name and claim it" preachers are notorious for this.... Yes, this is true. What I do like about Joyce Meyer is she runs through the whole Bible, on say one topic, and backs that topic up with abundant scripture, not taken out of context. It's so easy, though, for preachers to run with just one scripture and twist it all around. The meaning they end up with has nothing to do with the chapter from which they pulled the verse.

I believe in the "faith movement" but not to the extremes that some teach it. I believe in biblical prosperity and seed sowing etc. But I believe that God has to lead you to the ministry or to the person in which to sow your seed. I believe in physical healing. I believe in the prophetic but always, and I mean ALWAYS, I line each ministers teachings up to the word. I don't discredit a man or woman for a mistake in a message. I do look for patterns of mistakes and then question their ministry's motives. I have listened to ministers from many denominations and who teach different doctrines. Some I have enjoyed some I have been disgusted by.

Once again, this is a slander without evidence. Every so-called "name it and claim it" (I prefer the term, "faith" people) person validates and verifies points repeatedly. Fred Price's standard operating procedure is "in the mouths of two or three witnesses." So you must be listening to people other than the faith people I know.
