	My Word of Faith Testimony by Tricia Tillin - The ORIGINAL!!! now updated
		Faith doctrines in effect demanded that God conform to our own perception of what was good for us, and it removed from God the ability to make independent decisions in our lives, and to work all things together for good in the long run.
		Faith was IN HIM, in His goodness and power, not in ourselves in sweating out a system of faith-words, nor in the written scriptures alone, but in the God of the Word.
		Faith is necessary for answered prayer (but so is the will of God - the two go hand in hand.) Faith does move us from an attitude of submission to the devil's attacks to the solid ground of belief in the goodness and power of God.

	AN EXAMINATION OF THE WORD-FAITH MOVEMENT
		The erroneous actions of the faith teachers is but the symptom of their twisted and diseased teachings concerning the nature of man and the nature of God.
		Salvation for the faith teachers is not the forgiveness of sins and the restoring of a right relationship between God and man. Salvation for the faith teachers is instead the removal of the nature of Satan from man and the restoring of the nature of God in man.
		Words like propitiation, sanctification, justification, trinity, incarnation, predestination, redemption, etc. are not just useless theological words but are the very foundations of the faith.
