People who claim to be Bible-believing Christians refuse to search the scriptures for themselves to see if Word-of-Faith doctrines hold up as truth or heresy. At New Wine, we have personally witnessed the needless pain and doubt that the preaching of this erroneous ideology is producing in many Christians, church attendees and casual observers today. It is a heresy that is easily disproved by taking personal responsibility to read the Bible in context. For whatever reason, many people just won't take the time to study God's Word to "know the truth" that they might be "made free."

Here are several articles, letters, and audio files that document the errors and the damages of the Word-Faith movement. We want you to know the truth. We know that publishing this information may be considered offensive, particularly if you are in a Word-of-Faith church or if you enjoy the teaching, preaching, or publishing ministries of one or more of the popular Word-of-Faith teachers.

A common misconception among those who have not studied the scriptures is that the calling out those who would cling to heretical doctrines or errors and is somehow unloving or judgmental. May we remind you that Paul called out heretics and unrepentant sinners by name to warn others of falling into their trap. Consider:

"This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme." [1 Timothy 1:18-20]

"This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes."
[2 Timothy 1:15]

"Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words." [2 Timothy 4:14-15]

"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." [Galatians 1:8-9]

Both believers and nonbelievers have denounced us and broken fellowship with us for publishing this information. At New Wine, our philosophy is that anything not found in God's Word, or anything found to be contrary to God's Word, may be suspect. We want to stick to the facts and to avoid any personal attacks. We will, however, continue to publish clearly documented specific quotes by individuals where necessary to expose the widespread nature of the distribution of this heresy, particularly where it occurs in broadcast media that reaches millions of people. All we ask is that you objectively consider the information presented here, check your Bible, and then ask God to help you to discern the Truth.
