A Note About: TRINITY BROADCASTING NETWORK (TBN) AND GOD TV
The Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and GOD TV both endorse and broadcast many Word Faith and Third Wave Signs and Wonders Movement teachings. We do understand that not everyone on TBN and GOD TV is teaching from this theological perspective, yet the majority are. Sadly, some people who teach sound doctrine have seen fit to associate themselves with these TV Networks. These TV networks clearly endorse false teaching and have been called to account countless times by sound discernment ministries. TBN and God TV still endorse false teaching. They claim to be Christian networks but they will not repent from the endorsement and global promotion unbiblical, blatantly anti-christ heresies! This is treason, in the name of Christ, against Almighty God. THIS CONFUSES COUNTLESS CHRISTIANS around the wolrd who wonder why the sound Bible teachers that are aired on these networks won't rebuke and call the networks to account. Why won't these Bible teachers disassociate themselves (and their ministries) from TV networks that promote unbiblical teachings.
The main problem is that the Word Faith Prosperity message and the teachers associated with it have fallen prey to the very subtle and at times very blatant heresies. These false teachings on TBN and GOD TV can clearly be found paralleled in the world of the Mind Science cults (See Mind Sciences; New Thought; E.W. Kenyon; Witchcraft). The 'Name It and Claim It' teachings and 'techniques' are essentially the same as 'the Force' found in the in the occult. Many of the charismania manifestations in these movements can be categorically refuted as Christian counterfeits. Some of them are even demonic in origin. Simply put, much that can be found on TBN and GOD TV can be seen in non-Christian cults and the occult. To deny this after seeing the evidence and examining the teachings would be delusion at best, insanity at worst.
If you are reading this and you believe that our assessment of the Word Faith and Third Wave teachings is untrue, we ask that you would read a number of discernment articles, WATCH the ONLINE VIDEO CLIPS and LISTEN to the ONLINE AUDIO FILES. The Bible is very clear about testing all things. Regardless of what teacher, evangelist, pastor or movement it is, if they decieve you don't say Jesus didn't wanr you. He said many would come in His name claiming to be the Christ (Christos), or 'Anointed'. These entire movements are centered around 'anointing' and some of the leaders have even claimed to be 'a god', 'God manifest in human flesh', 'a little messiah on the earth', etc. Take a look at our links and read the information. The Metaphysical psuedo-Christian cults such as Mind Science and New Thought influenced the early 'faith teachers'. Furthermore, countless aberrant and off-base Christian leaders have jumped on board TBN and GOD and have created what is known today as the Word Faith / Third Wave / Signs and Wonders Movements. Sadly, those who do not care enough to research the backgrounds of the Word Faith teachers they are listening to will be deceived. By not testing their teachings against sound Biblical theology, they will succumb the the Prince of Darknesses finest lies.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
