Statement of Faith Reviews: Kenneth Copeland

Kenneth Copeland Ministries

We believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things. (good)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man. (good)

We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct. (good) (even though Kenneth Copeland believes in New Revelation, are you just trying to seem orthodox?)

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost. (Ok)

We believe in personal salvation of believers through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.(Good)

We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness, purity of heart and life. (ok, you seem ok so far Ken)

We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that healing is included in the Redemption. (WRONG!) Healing is not included in the redemption. The Redemption was to reconcile sinners back to God, aka Save Sinners. Not Save them and another perk!

We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that all of these are available to believers. Nope, Speaking in tongues is not evidence that someone is saved. (1 john 3:9-10) Evidence that someone is saved is, that they no longer live a lifestyle of sin, and love their brother.

We believe in the Christian's hope-the soon-coming, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Good one)

Over all Kenneth Copeland Ministries has some orthodox Christian Beliefs. but they alse have some off beliefs. One thing i can say, is that they could have gotten more detailed such as, Their Ecclisiology, Christology, Doctrine of God, Doctrine of the holy spirit...... hmmm. or maybe if they post anything orthodox people who follow them might see the difference in their teachings and would be exposed!?
