    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

    Missouri Valley Special Collections Charles and Myrtle Fillmore Founders, Unity Society of Practical Christianity Charles (1854-1948), Myrtle (1845-1931) By Daniel Coleman In the depths of chronic illness and with her family’s finances in ruin, Myrtle Fillmore discovered an affirmation upon which she based the rest of her life: “I am a child of God, and therefore I do not inherit sickness.” Initially skeptical of his wife’s epiphany but convinced by her dramatically improved health, Charles Fillmore applied his business savvy and Midwestern sensibility to articulate the couple’s spiritual lessons, and the pair established Unity, a global movement of communal prayer. Charles Sherlock Fillmore was born on August 22, 1854, in the wilderness of pre-statehood Minnesota, where his father was a trader to the Chippewa Indians. His frontier childhood left him with a damaged body. When he dislocated his hip in an ice skating accident, a variety of primitive remedies were applied to combat an ensuing bone infection, and he struggled with pain and difficulty walking throughout his life. Charles left the log cabin for town as soon as he had a chance, moving to St. Cloud in his early teens to work as a printer’s apprentice, then as a clerk in a grocery store and bank. Although the circumstances of his early youth afforded him almost no schooling, in St. Cloud a friend of his mother saw in Charles a spark that she fed with great books, supplying him with works by Shakespeare, Tennyson, and the Transcendentalists, including Emerson and Lowell, by whom he was influenced most deeply.

NOTE: Many of the Fillmore books are available for free as Unity co-founders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore did not copywrite their publications/books. Unity Principles ➢ The Five Principles – Ellen Debenport - The Five Principles provides tools for daily living and is an easy-to-read explanation of Unity’s basic teachings. ➢ Unity: A Quest for Truth – Eric Butterworth - "Unity today is dedicated to the open mind, to the continuous quest for Truth. It seeks not to tell you what to think, how to define God, what creeds to accept. Unity seeks only to teach you how to think, how to pray--so that you can formulate your own definition of God, experience your own communion with God, and find your own distinctly personal revelation of Truth." ➢ Lessons in Truth – H. Emilie Cady - Lessons in Truth is a clear, concise representation of New Thought philosophy and metaphysical Christianity. The spiritual concepts presented in these twelve lessons show us how to increase our personal empowerment and enhance our spiritual growth. This has been the foundational book since the beginning of Unity. Bible Study ➢ The Revealing Word – A Dictionary of Metaphysical Terms - This special dictionary written by Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore contains metaphysical meanings of 1200 words and phrases that are frequently used in Unity publications and the Bible.

  • The Myrtle Fillmore Collection—Finding
    Unity Library and Archives Myrtle Fillmore Papers 3033 Summary Description The papers of Myrtle Fillmore document primarily her work as correspondent for the Silent Unity Department of Unity School of Christianity. Myrtle Fillmore and her husband, Charles S. Fillmore, co-founded Unity School of Christianity, a New Thought, Christian, healing ministry based on affirmative prayer. Most of the collection consists of incoming prayer request letters and typewritten carbon copies of Fillmore's outgoing correspondence between January 1928 and October 1931. They include some handwritten postscripts and drafts of letters. A much smaller portion of the collection contains incoming prayer request letters and typewritten carbon copies of Fillmore's outgoing correspondence between 1890 and 1927. Of particular interest is a series of lessons from 1890 relating to the nature of God and humanity. Fillmore delivered some. Others may be notes from lectures, but all reveal the Christian Science influence of Emma Curtis Hopkins, a teacher of the Fillmores. A small assortment of notes and papers is related to Wee Wisdom, the children’s magazine founded and edited by Myrtle Fillmore. Personal correspondence and ephemera comprise the remainder of the collection dating from 1853. Quantity: 9 linear feet Donor: Probably Lowell Fillmore and the Silent Unity Department, c. 1936 Access: The collection is open with this note of caution regarding the Silent Unity Department File: researchers should note that Silent Unity correspondence was considered confidential between 1928 and 1931, as is current Silent Unity correspondence. Confidentiality was emphasized in each Silent Unity column in Unity magazine during the period. The Silent Unity Department File was likely saved only because it includes examples of Myrtle Fillmore’s writing.
