Since I've seen a sprinkling of a few of their names, I thought I'd share what Hank Hanegraaff of Christian Research Institute has to say:
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Concerning the teaching known variously as “positive confession,” the “faith” teaching, and the “prosperity” doctrine, some of the best known American television evangelists subscribe either partly or wholly to this teaching. Its chief representatives today seem to be Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Fred Price, Paul and Jan Crouch, John Avanzini, Benny Hinn, Jesse Duplantis, and Marilyn Hickey, though there are many other evangelists, teachers, and writers promoting the teaching.

It is CRI’s considered opinion that this teaching, at least in its complete form as expressed by the above people, is at best extremely aberrational and at worse cultic. (We use the term “aberrational” to refer to teaching which is decidedly unbiblical and damaging to authentic Christian faith, but which is not quite so heretical that its adherents must be considered non-Christians.) In the past, CRI has attempted to meet with some of these people and dialogue with them concerning their teachings, but most of them have refused.

In brief, the teachings of these men may be summarized as follows: God created man in “God’s class,” as “little gods,” with the potential to exercise the “God kind of faith” in calling things into existence and living in opportunity, however, by rebelling against God in the Garden and taking upon ourselves Satan’s nature. To correct this situation, Jesus Christ became a man, died spiritually (thus taking upon Himself Satan’s nature), went to Hell, was “born again,” rose from the dead with God's nature again, and then sent the Holy Spirit so that the Incarnation could be duplicated in believers, thus fulfilling their calling to be little gods. Since we are called to experience this kind of life now, we should be successful in every area of our lives. To be in debt, then, or be sick, or (as is often taught) be left by one’s spouse, and not to have these problems go away by “claiming” God’s promises, shows a lack of faith.

While certain aspects of the above doctrine may vary from teacher to teacher, the general outline remains the same in each case. Perhaps the above summary will be enough for some readers to convince them that the doctrine of the “faith” teachers is unbiblical. If more details in the way of documentation are required, or if some analysis of the biblical passages used by the “faith” teachers to support their views is needed, these can be found in a variety of materials, many of which are available from CRI.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hank has written an excellent book entitled "Counterfeit Revival" that I would highly recommend if you have any of the above people on your "favorites" list. God bless.

No list of FFF pastors would be complete without two of my personal favorites, Edwards and Chris Connally. They are totally cool.

BTW,BJ...I really liked your real list of favorite preachers. Their preaching skills, integrity and message have stood the test of time.

Dear MagicDar,

I hope you will take Dr. Bob's suggestion to heart and do the research, as you have rightly handled some "rethinking" in the past. Please read the "Counterfeit Revival" book by Hank Hanegraaff (see my previous post). I, for one, am pulling for you to post a revised list after your careful examination of facts.

God bless!

 

I am also pretty fond of the preaching style of Huldah.

Joseph

 

Gotta have 10, eh?

Let's see - in no particular order . . .

1. 
   <LI>Charles Haddon Spurgeon (hands down winner)
   <LI>John F. MacArthur Jr.
   <LI>D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
   <LI>Jonathan Edwards
   <LI>J. I. Packer
   <LI>John Piper

Well, 7 is close enough.

Sorry Elizabeth, I must have missed those folks.

Welsjs, I liked your link to CRI. It is a great book indeed, which Hank Hanegraaff wrote on counterfeit religion. It is a must read for everyone, especially for the babes in Christ. Thanks for posting it.

Dr. Bob, welcome back! We missed you. How was your outing with the young folks?
