Word of Faith Sayings

Compiled by Jim Fox

(Last updated 23/6/92)


  • Note: This is a dynamic file and will be changing as new quotes are added. There are also a couple summaries in the current list that do not have listed their source material. Those will be forth coming soon, my intent at this point was to get as much information out as soon as possible to the Christian community, as this type of information is sorely needed.


  • This is a synopsis of statements made by the major Word Faith teachers; after each statement, you will find the source material listed so that you can read or hear the exact quote for yourself. It has been my intent to paraphrase these teachers as exactly as possible for the purpose of allowing you, the reader, to get an overview, or the 'big picture' if you will of the Word Faith movement.
