I assumed that everyone on this forum was familiar with Hank Hanegraaff, the so-called "Bible Answer Man," Current president of Christian Research Institute (CRI) and his infamous book, "Christianity in Crisis" (or, the latest revision, "Christianity in Crisis: 21st Century). The book was an attack on Kenneth Hagin, Fred Price, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn and others. The premise was that the WoF is a CULT with unorthodox doctrine and should be placed on the same level as Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, etc.

    Basically, when one reads the book (which should NOT be done unless one is truly grounded in the Word and even still only if led by God to read this trash) one can find that it is based on a prejudiced theological mindset (primarily, hyper-Calvinism and cessationism). It contains NUMEROUS out-of-context quotes to make the faith teacher look bad (I have read the context of many of the quotes and saw that the person was NOT saying what the book claims was being said), and twisted historical "research" (a so-called "Kenyon-connectin that purports the false idea that E. W. Kenyon embraced New Thought and Christian Science teachings, synthesized them with his Bible teachings, supposedly influencing Kenneth Hagin, and Hagin influencing the rest of the WoF - all which have been proven FALSE).

    In my humble opinion, it is one of the worse diatribes in the history of books. The only reason I was compelled to buy and read this trash was because so many former WoFer had read it and their faith became ship-wrecked. I used to have a web page that has, thankfully, helped many people who were on the fence after reading this utter garbage disguised as an apologetic. Not sure if I will ever return to doing that type of ministry again since the need for it now does not seem to be as extensive as it was when the book appeared on the market. Besides, I do not relish the idea of ever having to read anymore heresy hunter junk.
    Thank you. I have heard of him a few years ago and remember thinking he was against preachers whom I like so I never read any of his material and didn't know him by the cinc. Thank you so much.

    You made the right choice by not reading any of his junk. I have no desire to read anymore of his material if I don't have to.

    Heck, I'm grounded and I was either reading this book or Charismatic Chaos by MacArthur and I had to quit reading it. It started to affect me.

    In Bible school they taught us that if we were to study systematic theology then it should be handled like when handling poison. I always approached Calvinism like that and some of the stuff I read and stuff that people posted on forums had a dreadful spirit to it. The attacks on Charismaticism typically come from people who are entrenched in Calvinism and/or Cessationism. Some of them don't believe at all which is evident by the same spirit permeating their stuff as when atheists attack faith, just the religious spirit is interlaced with that. An appearance of religion but denying its power, as the Bible says.

    Don't know why your Bible College said that about Systematic theology as it is a method of studying and not really to do with interpretation

    People twist the scriptures depending on what they want to believe regardless of receiving the best teaching

    He was referring to what was being taught in Norwegian seminaries at that time which was a bit similar to various things I encountered on carm later. In theory you are right but studies of that stuff typically become poisonous in terms of content.

    I was reading that book, set it down, got on my knees, asked the Lord for the truth and was baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

    Thereafter, I promptly tossed the book in the trash.

    I know what you mean. I have read both books (and some other HH books) While they never caused me to question the truth concerning faith and the gifts they did tempt me to become very angry with the men (and women) who wrote them. However, around that time the Lord was leading me to help people who did read this type of junk and were on the fence about their faith.

    That's one of the reasons I was able to write my book, "Miracles are for Today"
