I’m an Evangelical, and frankly opposed to ‘religion’ because of my background. Do I know what is in Kenneth’s heart? I never said I did. I never questioned his salvation. What I did question is his teachings. His teachings are unbiblical and need those teachings need to be called out and he needs to be rebuked. That is what Christians do when a believer is in error.
He doesn’t need to teach from the Book of Mormon to teach things counter to the Bible. He does not need to start a religion to be a cult leader. Your rabid defense of him shows that he holds great sway over your and that is a sign of a cult leader. We are to put no man on a pedestal, and that includes our pastors. The pedestal you are putting him on sure looks like cult leader to me.
You said judge him by his fruit. I was referring to Matthew, not Galations. And of course every believer should bear the fruits of the Spirit, but again Mormons claim the same fruit. That doesn’t make them Christian.
No, not just people on television although they tend to be more susceptible to heresy especially “word faith”.
You seem to have this issue with “heresy hunters” a term I had not heard until now. I don’t go looking for heresy, but I do know the Bible well enough to know unbiblical teachings when I see one. I fight the heresies of Mormonism every single day.
And knowing the entire Bible is 'key' to discerning when unbiblical teachings are spoken and taught. Which is why today so many are easily mis-led into other false religions and or false practices...they are blank slates for the most part ready to have whatever teachings might be presenting their wares.
The difficult issues is many who know the Lord are being mis-led today....even though they are uncomfortable with the direction they are in, or are going, their "teachers" are quick to tell them not to be afraid, or that it's satan trying to get in their way of the experience God wants them to have. So they press on believing they are fighting the enemy of mens souls when in fact they are opposing the very sensibilities and discernment he's given them that something is wrong and or dangerous.
It is vital today that Christians understand and know the scriptures....otherwise as these various false teachers present their teachings they will be a target.
As for Copeland......
Quote on TBN, Kenneth Copeland.....“Dogs beget dogs cats beget cats, and God beget Gods, you are little Gods.”....
Sound familiar? He's clearly crossed over and has brought the church to exactly what the 'New Age Occultic' teachings and also' Mormonism' teachings which have been saying for years,... that we are all Christed. ........And it not surprising when we have heard such surprising statements like this one from Copeland:
" That nature is like eternal in absolute perfection. ....And that was imparted, injected into your spirit man..... And you have that imparted into you by God just the same as you imparted into your child the nature of humanity. ......Well now, you don't have a human do you? No, you are one..... You don't have a god in you, you are one."
Copeland, Binn, and many others now in the Emerging church are all on the same path, and they with Mormonism, New Age Spirituality are all promoting the very same agenda and it is not of the Lord Jesus Christ...but another Christ...which Jesus himself warned us would come from "within" the church.
