Having lately looked into the Plymouth Brethren and what issued forth from that movement, Wigglesworth came to mind. Wigglesworth, was a type of Benny Hinn or Kathryn Kuhlman a forerunner, if you will, of today’s Word Faith preacher. He was sometimes called the “Apostle of Faith” by his followers. Looking through the books (we had every one) of Smith Wigglesworth (1859-1947), there’s no denying the many disturbing things the man–a hero to many Christians due to the numerous claimed healings and his slogan of “ Only believe!”–said.

Which is basically why this writer has had to throw away almost every book in his library which had the word “Christian” printed somewhere on the cover. Otherwise, there’s a fairly good chance that one will have to confront with Scripture what these exalted men have said.Īnd there’s no reconciling the ungodly and the Word of God. When one becomes a Christian, IF one has any “heroes of the faith” besides the Lord Jesus Christ, one should simply quit reading and researching.
