Word of Faith

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In his discussion, Steve Gregg examines the Word of Faith teaching, a charismatic Pentecostal belief system that emphasizes positive confession and faith for healing and prosperity. The belief that a law of faith governs the universe and that individuals can create their own reality through positive confessions is not based on scripture, and can be harmful when individuals are led to believe that sickness is caused by lack of faith. Gregg advocates for a focus on a genuine relationship with Jesus and spiritual growth, rather than material gain.
