The only reason I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 is that it was very well produced, and I have an appreciation for those things even if the content is total crap.
This "documentary" on the Word of Faith was directed by Brandon Kimber who says he was raised in a Word of Faith church and converted to Calvinism a few years ago. I confirmed 23 Calvinists who were interviewed in the movie, presenting themselves as the guardians of the true gospel and the Word of Faith ministers as heretics who don't preach the gospel of the Bible. Not once in the movie did they mention that WoF people believe in salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, nor did they mention the fact that in Calvinism Jesus only died for the elect, who were sovereignly chosen for salvation at the beginning of time, while God refuses to extend the ability to believe and repent to the non-elect, and that WoF people believe that Jesus died for everybody and anybody can believe and repent upon hearing the gospel preached. A true documentary would never have slanted these doctrinal issues in such a manner.
Add to that the fact that they omitted Nabeel Qureshi's story of traveling to Bill Johnson's Bethel Church in Redding, California where he heard the gospel preached explicitly in a biblical manner, despite the frequent use of other clips of Nabeel which appeared to support the film's narrative. Very misleading.
Add to that the fact that they used a clip of Benny Hinn saying that there are 9 members of the godhead, despite the fact that that happened nearly 30 years ago and he retracted that statement a week later according to an interview he did with Charisma in 1993.
Add to that the fact that Brandon Kimber is on record saying that his parents got saved and were delivered from a lifestyle of drugs and partying and attended a WoF church, which would seem to contradict the message of the film that the WoF doesn't preach the gospel of the Bible.
I could add more but for the sake of brevity I'll just say that there's a really good video on YouTube rebutting this flick. Just remember that when they talk about the gospel they're talking about the Calvinist version of the gospel that includes predestination.
