Contentment: Antithesis of Prosperity Teaching

Did Jesus promise to give literally anything we ask for in faith?

An Evaluation of the Key Doctrines in the Health and Wealth Faith Movement by Vincent McCann
‘Health & wealth gospel’ critiqued Brent Thompson, Baptist Press, Aug. 9, 2007
As Peters dug into the theology and history of the word of faith movement, he was more convinced than ever that Christians needed to know the truth about it. He discovered that the movement’s origins are not at all Christian; instead its roots can be traced directly to the metaphysical cults of the 19th century, Unitarianism, Christian Science, New Thought and even back to the early-church heresy known as Gnosticism.
“These preachers blur the line between the Creator and the created,” Peters said. “They demote God and deify man … To them, faith is not placed in God; faith is a force you direct at God to make Him do what you want Him to do. It is a very man-centered gospel which makes it a different gospel…. All this has been wrapped in a Christian terminology to make it more palatable.”
Holy Trinkets Documents the many ways some word-faith/prosperity preachers try to collect money from people.
