For years I have wondered what Word of Faith proponents believe and teach the things they do in the face of so much scripture. Also I have seen very little interaction between Word of Faith proponents and other Christians.
A discussion between Pastor Saiko Woods (Reformed) and Fredrick Price, Jr. (Word of Faith - Name it Claim it Prosperity Health and Wealth Heresy) I am grateful for Pastor Saiko Woods diligence and character in seeking to have a respectful discussion with a Word of Faith teacher. Fred Price, Jr. is to be commended in at least being willing to discuss the issues.
I think the really valuable thing that happened was their discussion centered on Reformed Theology vs Arminian theology. I think that the thought that we can shape our reality by the words we say is an outgrowth of the belief that we have to cooperate with God in our salvation. My problem with that is there is no way our human, fallible, and sinful will can trump's God's good and perfect will.
Beggars All: Reformation And Apologetics: A very interesting discussion
