I want pretend to know a great deal about this movement but, I've watched these people on TV and get a sense of none biblical preach, God doesn't call us to get rich but, to give of ourselves.
As for mega churches, there are three Baptist churches in my area and I know them and their beliefs and they do not believe in this prosperity movement. These three churches are Southern Baptist through and through.
Are you saying they are not true christians.....should I take a shot or not?
How can I know, I've never engaged in a conversation with them, I can say this though, if money is all they are after then they will be like the rich man Jesus asked to give up his wealth.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
