I forgot to ask. Who is this Kevin Copeland guy?
It is Kenneth Copeland (sorry) and you can look him up. I have concluded that you have an internet connection.
He has the same interpretation of that verse as you, so maybe you guys are members of the same fellowship. Maybe the Holy Spirit has given him the same interpretation of the scripture that he gave you. He seems to have a very similar view of the scriptures relying solely on the scriptures and the Holy Spirit to guide him. This has, IMHO, led him into greivous error.
He obviously doesn't follow any man, as his theology is rather unique to the group he hangs with.
Do you agree that with the FAITH OF GOD, that you can become a "little god" and by exercising the FAITH OF GOD you can direct creation or prosperity or health by your positive confession of THE FAITH OF GOD.
You see, unless you have people around you who can correct you when you stray from sound doctrine, then you can fall into damnable heresy. And if you think that you are immune from that because the Holy Spirit is your only guide, then I would dare to say that you probably already have fallen into doctrines of demons.
That is what a church is for. That is why churches have doctrinal statements. That is why Churches have confessions. That is why Christians are not opposed to identifying their fellowship so that others can understand the basics of the doctrines that they believe.
I don't know anything about your church or your doctrines. You accuse me and others of just not understanding scripture, but you never bother to explain what your understanding of the scriptures is. You just expect that everyone who reads the scriptures will come to the same conclusion about their meaning as you because you are guided solely by the Holy Spirit.
Well every single non-Christian cult professes that they received their abberrant doctrines from the Holy Spirit. Just because you say so, doesn't make it so. I am admonished to test the spirits and to hold fast to SOUND DOCTRINE.
Obviously Kenneth Copeland's doctrine is not sound, but he, like you, claims that he arrived at that doctrine by scripture and the Holy Spirit only.
So if there is a disagreement between you and Kenneth Copeland, why should I believe you and not him? What standard of biblical hermenutics and interpretation do you use? What lexicons and concordances do you consult? What confession to you adhere to? What teachers have given you guidance?
As I pointed out, every single English Language scripture is the product of the interpretations of men. Every single one. So how can you claim that you don't follow the teachings of any man, when you clearly identify the interpreted scripture as the Word of God?
