Kenneth Hagin, sr: the truth about Kenneth Hagin, sr.
This man is the father of the most cherished teachings of Pentecostals today, he brought the notion of positive confession and he planted the prosperity and health gospel which he received from the Gnostics. He was the first to claim that when we come to Christ, financial blessings and good health become part of us. Though those teaching were got from clearly cultic belief, today, if you talk about them, Pentecostals will say you have no faith.His positive-confession teachings have spawned an entire movement within modern Pentecostalism, and its proponents have vast influence. Hagin teaches that Christ's physical death did not remove sin. Rather, it was Christ's alleged spiritual death and his alleged struggles in hell which removed sin. Hagin teaches that Christ was sent to hell and there he struggled against Satan and the demons and by his victory over them he was born again22. This is in direct contrast with many scriptures like John 19:30 and Heb 9:14 It seems Hagin had forgotten that Jesus Christ was never a sinner, He was never tormented in hell by Satan and the demons and such teachings only glorify Satan but not our Lord and master Jesus Christ. He uses no biblical back up at any time, and there is no doubt his teaching are not heavenly. Pentecostals should stop pretending and agree that cancer, heart disease and diabetes are real and they exist. It is time to put aside that teaching brought by Hagin from Gnostics and Satanists that sickness is not real |
