The Health and Wealth Gospel is a name given to a teaching in Christianity which emphasizes healing and prosperity.... It is not an organized movement or a unique doctrine, but a name applied to groups and people with similar teachings....There's a group of black pastors looking to put a stop to the Health and Wealth Gospel....Pastor Lance Lewis of Christ Liberation Fellowship (PCA) in Philadelphia.... Says the health and wealth gospel is as much a threat to the black church as theological liberalism was to the early church of the 20th century.
"For the balance of the 20th century the mainstream historic black church while not reformed certainly held to the main tenets of orthodox faith," he said in a letter to leaders in the Presbyterian Church in America. "However towards the end of the last century the prosperity gospel (which in its various forms had always lurked near the fringe of the black church) moved closer and closer to becoming the central theology believed and practiced by the black church.The churches in which we grew up or came to faith now spout this destructive form of heresy," said Lewis, whose church is touted as a multi-ethnic Bible believing, Bible teaching church.
I believe that most professing Christians in America are infected to some degree by the health and wealth gospel.... This prosperity gospel teaches that wealth and good health are signs of God’s favor and blessing...Which is not true! Now i really don't understand how having a conference will help...But good luck anyway.
