| While I do not agree with all Charles Capps has to say, I do believe that he shares some important truths that have long been neglected by the Church. Though any truth may be taken to an extreme, to deny it all together is just as bad if not detrimental. Is Charles a "name-it-and-claim-it teacher? If by this you mean that we have the authority to name a scriptural promise and "claim" it then yes, Capps is definately in this camp. And we all should be as the scriptures teach that whatever God has provided by his Grace, we can claim by faith. All of the promises are "Yes and A-men" so where specific promises are concerned, you do NOT have to pray and see if God wants you to have what He has already died to give you! Also, a major complaint made in other reviews is that Capps teaches that we are not to pray to Jesus. This is scriptural! Jesus Himself declared that "in that day ye shall ask me nothing..." We are to go directly to God and ask for He is our Father and we are His children. We are to go to the Throne in His name--not pray to Jesus. This is Bible. This is teaching straight from the Master and yet because Capps said it, it's now heresy? Get your theological thumb out of your mouth and grow up! Some of Capp's detractors seem to have a very shallow understanding of what the Bible teaches in regard to faith and prayer. Some believe in a "No-Fault" religion. They simply pray and if God says yes on that particular day, then fine--the prayer is answered. And if not, Cay sera sera. Either way, it is not the fault of the person praying. NO, this is wrong. Whether or not your prayers are answered depend a whole lot more on you than on God. Lastly, no, we are not God but there are plenty of scriptures that talk about the power of the tongue. To say that Capps is into "heresy" is simply theological pride, ignorance or a combination of both. Critics of this type of message had better be careful to call what God has said "heresy." I believe most of those who do not understand this type of teaching are better off keeping their mouths and their pens shut until they get a little light on the subject. Otherwise, it is to contribute to your own folly. Finally, while I agree that there can be misuse and abuse of ANY doctrine, to reject a teaching without understanding it is foolish. I highly recommend this book. Read it with your spiritual eyes open and with your Bible. |
