http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16117269 Liz Lane, Sky News reporter At least six people have died in Britain after being told they had been healed of HIV and could stop taking their medication, Sky News has discovered. There is evidence evangelical churches in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow are claiming to cure HIV through God. Sky sent three undercover reporters to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), which is based in Southwark, south London. All of them told the pastors they were HIV positive - all were told they could be healed. |
@ Olalekan, God bless you. @ Murphy387 I think this forum is to share ideas/views and to educate ourselves. I am a christian and I have read much about "word_of_faith" preachers. Am not against any of them, but sometimes we need to do some background check, not just take everything they tell us "hook, line & sinker". Check this blog: http://kennethcopelandblog.com/ Regards! |
FYI : murphy 387 Don't just read what an author write about him/her self in his/her book. research & study "how" & 'why" ........ READ this from ''WIKIPEDIA'' Kenneth Copeland is an American author, public speaker, and televangelist. Prior to his conversion to Christianity in November 1962, Copeland was a recording artist on the Imperial Records label, having one Billboard Top 40 hit ("Pledge of Love", which charted in the Top 40 on April 20, 1957, stayed on the charts for eight weeks, and peaked at #12).[3] Following his religious conversion, Copeland turned the rest of his life over to the gospel and ministry work.[4] In the 1960s, he was a pilot and chauffeur for Oral Roberts. In late November 2007, Mike Huckabee, a 2008 Republican presidential primary candidate, made six appearances on Copeland's daily television programBeliever's Voice of Victory, discussing "Integrity of Character".[9] Subsequently, in January 2008, the Huckabee campaign paid for use of Kenneth Copeland Ministries' facilities for a fundraiser.[10] The fundraising at the church was criticized by the Trinity Foundation.[11] Airport and ministry jets The Kenneth Copeland Airport is a private airport established by Kenneth Copeland Ministries to serve the area of Fort Worth, Texas.[12] In 2007 Copeland was accused of using his $20 million Cessna Citation X jet for personal vacations and friends.[13] The Copelands' financial records are not publicly available, and a list of the Board of Directors is not accessible as these details are protected and known confidentially by the Internal Revenue Service.[14] Responding to media questions, Copeland pointed to an accounting firm's declaration that all jet travel complies with federal tax laws.[14] In December 2008, Copeland's 1998 Cessna Bravo 550, his second jet, valued at $3.6 million, was denied tax exemption after Copeland refused to submit to disclosure laws for the state of Texas.[15] Senate investigation On November 6, 2007, United States Senator Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, announced an investigation of Copeland's ministry by the United States Senate Committee on Finance. The Associated Press reported that Grassley said the investigation was a response to complaints from the public and news media. Grassley stated, "The allegations involve governing boards that aren't independent and allow generous salaries and housing allowances and amenities such as private jets and Rolls Royces." [16] IRS guidelines require that pastors' compensation be "reasonable" and net earnings may not benefit any private individual.[17] Grassley asked for the ministry to divulge financial information [18] (Grassley's letter)[19] to the committee to determine if Copeland made any personal profit from financial donations, and requested that Copeland's ministry make the information available by December 6, 2007. |
Dowie's Zion city (cont'd) In January of 1900, Dowie unveiled his plans to build a city called Zion outside of Chicago. It would be a “moral utopia” and it consumed him until his final days. He no longer gave himself to preaching divine healing, but to the matters of governing the rise of a new city. |
Dowie's Zion City (Cont'd) In 1901 Dowie proclaimed himself "Elijah the Restorer" and began to wear High-Priestly robes. This caused many disciples to fall away; the subsequent decrease in income combined with the expenses of building Zion marked the beginning of Dowie's slide into bankruptcy. It was at this time that rumors of his polygamous teaching and activities, use of alcohol, and extravagant lifestyle began to gain currency, not only in the world, but also within the Church. |
Church_enterprise models may not likely work in the long term. (case reference: Dowie's ZION CITY). The Church should strictly be run as a CHARITY. JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE was born in Edinboro' Scotland on May 25, 1847 and received his religious conviction — while singing a hymn from a street pulpit in that city — at age seven. His family emigrated to Australia when he was thirteen; there he attended seminary and held a number of pastoral positions in the Congregational Church before resigning the last to become a full-time non-denominational evangelist in 1878. Announced to his followers at midnight on New Year's Eve 1899/1900, laid out in the form of a Union Jack, and planned for 200,000 souls, Dowie's City had almost everything: brickworks and lumber mills; an electrical generating plant; factories shipping lace, cookies, and candy around the world; a college; mammoth auditoriums and hotels; and even its own postage stamps. Dowie owned everything personally, although settlers were offered 1,100-year leases (i.e., 100 years to usher in the Kingdom and 1,000 for Christ's millennial reign — after that, seemingly, you were on your own). The leases specifically forbade gambling, dancing, swearing, spitting, theaters, circuses, the manufacture and sale of alcohol or tobacco, pork, oysters, doctors, politicians — and tan-colored shoes. The city police carried a billy club on one hip and a Bible on the other; their helmets were adorned with a dove and the word "PATIENCE." At the height of his power and influence, Dowie was worth several million dollars and claimed 50,000 followers, 6,000 of whom lived in ZION CITY Ref : http://www.james-joyce-music.com/extras/dowie_bio.html |
