1. Bethel Church is part of something called the Word of Faith movement (WOF).
2. This group believes that Christians are "Little gods" - with the same creative power as God himself - we can speak things into existence by our words.
3. They believe that Jesus did not atone for our sins on the cross but rather ceased to be the son of God, took on the nature of Satan and finished his work by being punished in hell.
4. They believe that Jesus is no more a son of God than any other born-again Christian.
5. Bethel is also a part of the " New Apostolic Reformation" (NAR) which claims that Apostles equal to Peter and Paul are around today and carry their authority to lay down new teachings outside the Bible.
6. They also believe in a teaching called the " Manifest sons of God" - a belief that end times Christians will be a new breed of human that will be able to conquer the kingdoms of the world and take over the planet. They believe that their jesus cannot return until they have done that!! They do not believe that Jesus will come and conquer the earth at his second coming - they will do that for him. There will be no rapture - no rescue of the saints.
