Prosperity Gospel / Word of Faith Extremes
Faith, positive confession, and giving money guarantee health, wealth, promotion, and victory.
The Central Error
It turns faith into a spiritual force, centers material success, and often blames suffering believers for lacking faith.
Historic Response
Widely rejected as a false gospel by Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant critics.
Modern Echoes
“Sow a seed to unlock your miracle,” “poverty is always a curse,” or “a true believer should never be sick.”
