@Bojulay: Can you summarize the videos for those of us who are simply too lazy to watch them? Also for those of us who haven't been following most of the other threads, can you tell us what "word of faith heresy" is? (I honestly don't know)

Here is a pretty good link and not terribly long.
www.thechristianexpositor.org/page7.html
Basically they are people that promote faith in faith not faith in God.
The belief that faith is a force by which all your hopes and dreams can be
realized if you can just exercise enough of it.
A kind of ordering God around to comply with their wants and desires.
It puts man on the same level as God while at the same time lowering God
down to our level.
They believe every Christian can be divinely healthy, wealthy, and prosperous,
and you can call these things into being through faith, but they seem to need
your money to get it done for themselves. It makes a kind of mockery of the cross
of Christ. Christ died so we can all have Cadillac's and million dollar mansions.
Someone please volunteer to read the link to Yssup.
