I think that there is the fallacy, promoted by the Word of Faith false teachers that if one is not having miracles of healing, wealth and prosperity then one doesn’t truly have faith. But then, their definition of faith is a force in the universe that can be harnessed and attached to words, which when spoken with the force of faith one can create their own reality. Rather than faith being in God, the object of faith, it becomes faith in faith.

I've been computer-handicapped for several days now, so I just found this excellent post.

"Rather that faith being in God, the object of faith, it becomes faith in faith."

That's eloquently precise. Faith in faith rather than faith in God...and all which that entails.

What the Word of Faith teachers teach is a blend of the old heresy of Montanus, Gnosticism and the Theosophy of Madame Blavatsky, which is nothing but a form of witchcraft in modern dressing, which like witchcraft, is based on using universal forces to do the bidding of the adherents desires(in this case--the universal force of faith) to manipulate matter and thus create their own reality.

The likes of Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Charles Capps, Creflo Dollar or Joyce Meyers all teach a form of witchcraft dressed up for the consumption of Biblically illiterate, gullible Christians.
