ORIGINAL: vaultdweller_108 let me play devil's advocate for a moment... i'm too lazy to read through this all, i read the first 4 pages. i realize alot of what the WoF'ers say is unscriptural, but is it non-salvic? what i mean is, if a person believe jesus died for them, and died for their sins, and believed he was born of virgin mary, and believed everything of The Creed, (niocene? i can't remember what the name of The Creed is) will it damage their salvation to also believe that we are little god's as well? or to believe if we speak it, itll happen? or to believe that if we don't have healing we don't have enough faith? or to believe that jesus went to hell to take the keys? i realize this can be damaging speech, and the potential to lead many astray... but if a person truly believes in all the items of The Creed, and adds in a dash of WoF because they don't know better (congregants) are they really that bad off spiritually? just wondering :) The issue is that many are salvic. If you believe you are a little god, then you have elevated yourself to a place that is unbiblical. And while most will not admit it, to admit that you are a little god, stands in pretty stark contrast to a lowly sinner in need of a Savior. Therefore to embrace that you are a little god, would be to get farther and farther away from needing a savior at all, which in turn deals with salvation doesn't it? And the belief that Christ went to hell (as far as the WOF teaches it) has nothing to do with Christ going to hell to simply get some keys, but rather it falls within the "born again Jesus" teaching. This teaching says that Jesus HAD to go to hell, and God the Father was basically powerless to stop it from Heaven and also that Jesus CEASED to be the Son of God for those 3 days. It teaches that Jesus was tortured and mocked for those days and then after 3 days, He then paid a price and was "born again" out of hell. This teaching has so many errors I don't know where to begin. For starters, God CANNOT CEASE TO BE GOD. Period. Second, Jesus was SINLESS and therefore had NO NEED to be born again. He BORE our sins, but He wasn't sin. Therefore He had no need to be born again. The bottom line is that our salvation was bought by our Lord and Savior Jesus by the shedding of His blood ON THE CROSS. So yes, this issue is also salvic. Because it is through that Blood that we are born again, NOT THROUGH any other means. So while you may want to dismiss these teachings as some non-essential issue, the bottom line is that they are HERESY. They are WAY OUTSIDE the pale of orthodoxy. And over and over again, they have lead millions of people astray. Keep in mind the very harsh warnings to the churches "if anyone comes to you and preaches a different Gospel than the one you have recieved, LET THEM BE ETERNALLY CONDEMED". Sounds pretty serious to me.
