    CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE PO Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Feature Article: JAW755-1 WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE FAITH MOVEMENT (PART ONE): E. W. KENYON AND THE TWELVE APOSTLES OF ANOTHER GOSPEL by Hank Hanegraaff This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 15, number 3 (1993). For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org SYNOPSIS What's wrong with the "Faith" movement? Its leaders include many of the most popular television evangelists. Its adherents compose a large percentage of charismatic evangelical Christians. Its emphases on faith, the authority of the believer, and the absolute veracity of Scripture could appear to be just what today's church needs. And yet, I am convinced that this movement poses one of the greatest contemporary threats to orthodox Christianity from within. Through it, cultic theology is being increasingly accepted as true Christianity. This article will highlight several serious problems with the Faith movement by providing an overview of its major sources and leaders. Part Two will focus on the movement's doctrinal deviations as represented by one of its leading proponents.1 ITS DEBT TO NEW THOUGHT It is important to note at the outset that the bulk of Faith theology can be traced directly to the cultic teachings of New Thought metaphysics. Thus, much of the theology of the Faith movement can also be found in such clearly pseudo-Christian cults as Religious Science, Christian Science, and the Unity School of Christianity. Over a

  • Televising Testimony: Kathryn Kuhlman and Your Faith and Mine by Dr
    Televising Testimony: Kathryn Kuhlman and Your Faith and Mine by Dr. Amy Artman Transcript of the Billy Graham Center Annual Lecture delivered on September 29, 2011. When I came to the University of Chicago to work on a doctorate in the History of Christianity, I knew I would have archival work in front of me-it’s part and parcel of the work of a historian. My colleagues who were studying Christianity from the 1300s or 1600s were the ones who would tell stories of days, months, years spent looking through brittle papers, reading diaries with “s’s” that look like “f’s”, tucked away in libraries or sorting through manuscripts in cavernous archival collections. What I did not understand at the beginning was that I had a somewhat different archival experience ahead of me, namely, learning how to do archival research when the “documents” were video, not text. While friends of mine in other PhD endeavors sat in study carrels and leafed through manuscripts, I sat in a little room right below us, watching hour after hour after hour of video, video of the healing evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman. And what did I discover? The best way to explain is to tell the story of the video stored here at the Archives entitled “Johnny Carson Show-Tonight Show, Kathryn Kuhlman segment,” (October 15, 1974, VHS, V125, Collection 212, The Kathryn Kuhlman Collection). And it turns out that this video will be playing in the exhibit after the talk, so please go and check it out—it is fascinating. On October 15, 1974, Johnny Carson welcomed his next guest on The Tonight Show with the words, “I imagine there are very few people in this country who are not aware of Kathryn Kuhlman.” He continued, “She probably, along with Billy Graham, is one of the best known ministers or preachers in the country.” After a few more words of introduction, Carson announced Kuhlman.

  • Azusa Street and Beyond
    Azusa Street an Beyond Syllabus Azusa Street and Believers Bible School Beyond www.believersbibleschool.com IV - Revivalists Following Azusa Street Lesson IV Lesson Objective Revivalists Following Azusa Street Demonstrate how the hand of God has expanded the Book of Acts even in the aftermath of Azusa Street revival. The revival of Azusa Street had come and gone. Thousands of people’s lives were changed in the move of God as they were empowered by the baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues. From this point on in the course, various faith revivalists, who have relied on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, will be shown to demonstrate the continued move of God through the 20th century and into the 21st. The objective is to show that the Book of Acts has become alive and spreading in many of the churches around the world, even today, since the time of the Azusa Street Revival. God is no respecter of persons, using ordinary people who have lived, or are living, through ordinary struggles and challenges. While many have gone home to be with the Lord, there are others who carry on the work today. None were, or are, perfect, but were, or are, willing to be used by God to accomplish His purpose on the earth. Smith Wigglesworth Smith Wigglesworth was born in poverty in Yorkshire, England in 1859 A.D. In his growing up years, he was accustomed to heavy work as the family struggled to survive. As a result, he did not learn to read until he became an adult.

  • A History of the Charismatic Movements  Movements the Charismatic of History a CH510 - Transcript Rights Reserved
    A History of the Charismatic Movements the Charismatic of History A A History of the Charismatic Movements CH510 LESSON 16 of 24 Key Figures in the Renewalist Movement John D. Hannah, PhD Experience: Distinguished Professor of Historical Theology, Dallas Theological Seminary We continue today with our discussion of charismatic renewalism. My basic line of argument historically has gone something like this: that the classical Pentecostal movement, the first wave or the first evidence of what has been called the Latter Rain Movement came to be between 1901 to 1906 and flowered. By the 1940s there was some concern among very godly charismatic people that the Latter Rain Movement was failing for a variety of reasons that we spoke to very briefly. Through the phase of deliverance evangelism, several of those very prominent deliverance evangelists, like Oral Roberts, were able to make a transition from classic Pentecostalism to renewalism and so that in 1959 to 1960 (in that era roughly), you have the birth of what is commonly called the second phase or what I would call the renewalist movement, sometimes called Neo-Pentecostalism. Last time we rehearsed the basic history of it, and I’d like to begin there but spend our time today in this lecture looking principally at some main pivotal figures within the movement. Against the background of the history of the emergence of neo-Pentecostalism or charismatic renewalism is now time to highlight the major figures, organizations, and publications agencies that promote the growing movement. As has been previously noted, the charismatic renewalist movement began embryonically in the 1950s, emerged in 1959 with Bennett’s discovery at St.
