Justin Peters: Exposing the Word-of-Faith Movement

Published

Back in September, Justin Peters was in town to do a seminar on the Word of Faith movement. While he was in town, I had the privilege to sit down with him and talk about his ministry and his seminars. This episode is, in essence, a summary of many of the major points that he discusses in his seminar.

Justin is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Master of Divinity with Biblical Languages in 2000 and a Master of Theology in 2002. He is a full time evangelist, with a ministry composed of expository preaching and presenting his seminars critiquing the Word of Faith movement. He is from Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Some of the Word of Faith teachers that we discussed include: Benny Hinn, Kenneth & Gloria Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, and Todd Bentley. We discussed the origins of Word of Faith movement, heresies taught by the movement, and many of the things that go on at their “revival meetings.”

For more about Justin, you can visit his website at justinpeters.org. If Justin is going to be in your area, I highly recommend his seminar. If he isn't , he sells a set of DVDs of the seminar, available at his website.

Special thanks to Martha Mac, Rick Wagner, and Sandy Russel of SO4J-TV & Video Productions, who brought Justin to town to do the seminar, and went out of their way to help arrange this interview.

Gary Gilley: Hearing from God?

A popular teaching in Evangelical Christianity says that God has a plan (or a will) for us in our individual lives. Some say the level of detail of that plan is limited to major decisions in life such as who to marry, what career to pursue, where to go to college, etc. Others believe that even the minor decisions are planned out by God, such as: what kind of tooth paste to buy, what route to take to work, or how to style your hair. However, most agree that we as Christians need to seek Gods will in that plan, and can hear God speak to us in this regard by way of inner promptings, subjective signs, having a peace about a decision, or other subjective means. Pastors DeWaay and Gilley disagree with this “Popular View” (as Pastor Gilley calls it). After holding a conference about the importance of the Reformation doctrine of Sola Scriptura, I had the privilege of sitting down with them to discuss the topic. We talked about where the view stems from, why they disagree with it, and what the scriptural arguments are for both sides of the view.

Bob DeWaay & Ryan Habbena: Preterism

My two favorite repeat guests, Bob DeWaay and Ryan Habbena, return this month to critique the eschatological view of Preterism. We discussed what Preterists believe, some of the verses and arguments they use to support their view, as well as the response from a Futurist point of view.

The outline for our discussion was a pair of articles written by DeWaay and Habbena for a past issue of DeWaay’s Critical Issues Commentary. (A PDF of the entire issue, containing both articles, available here.)
