death of Jesus Christ on the cross paid the penalty for our sins. He has called himself a "god" and claimed that Jesus Christ is the high priest of his words (I have that statement on video tape). He has taught that God the Father has a body just like you and me. He continues to teach that all believers should be healthy and wealthy if they have enough faith, and a lack of faith is why people are sick and poor. I wonder how Job would have felt about that (Job 13:15)? Or how about Paul who because he was sick was able to witness to the Galatians and many were saved (Gal. 4:13)? I suppose Jesus was a rich man Himself even though He said that he had nowhere to lay His head (Matt. 8:20)? The Word-Faith doctrines are creeping into many churches and I want to state clearly that they are deadly doctrines of
demons. They destroy the faith of people because they are based on clever lies and deception, not on the truths of God's Word. People like Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn who preach these doctrines have been through the islands before and they always leave people with less money and a faith that is based on sinking sand. Though they claim they can do miracles, they have never been able to document them on the many occasions when news programs have asked them for the evidence. This newsletter is being sent out to warn churches in Micronesia that the flood of false teachers, false prophets, false apostles and false Christs will only increase in the islands. This is a call to stand firm against these people and not to allow them into your island churches!

I hope it will be a help to all pastors and Christian leaders who read this publication. Kenneth Copeland is nothing less than a heretic. He has denied the fact that the physical
