Word of Faith Movement, Pt 1

What: A popular, diverse subculture within the Christian Church. Known primarily for its emphasis on the pursuit of health and wealth, both of which can be obtained through ‘positive confession’ and/or ‘acts of faith’ (such as donating money or throwing away medicines). [taken from Apologetics Index]

In his book, Christianity in Crisis, Hank Hanegraaf states, “Words are the containers that carry the substance of faith. In Faith theology, if you speak words of faith, you activate the positive side of the force; if you speak words of fear, you activate the negative side of the force.” (p. 66)
