Steven Furtick Says it's Impossible to Believe Jesus is Lord Without a Doubt, Tells Staff Never to Say it

Steven Furtick is more than just a false teacher. He is a demonic liar, a deceiver, and if anything, more like Satan than any angel of light he masquerades as — and he think’s he’s Jesus. He preaches a false prosperity gospel and bilks his congregation for money. He has made absurd claims about not only the Scriptures but God himself such as claiming that God reflects his image (rather than man reflecting God’s image), that without man, God is just an abstract concept, and denies God’s sovereignty over His own plans. And just last week, he embraced the heresy of his close associate, T.D. Jakes — modalism.

To add to that, he also recently preached a sermon declaring that God is “energy” and that he is a “molecular structure that fills all in all” — then proceeds to assert that this is what it means that Jesus was “there from the beginning.” His heresies seem to never continue piling on.

Now, Steven Furtick says that he had to "correct" his co-pastor for telling people who want to come to Christ that they can believe in Jesus "without a doubt." According to Furtick, believing "without any doubt" is a prayer than cannot be honestly prayed.

I told him never again, when you stand in the pulpit at Elevation, do I want you to put people in a position to where you're telling them to pray something they can't honestly pray. In fact, don't put them in a position to pray something that you can't honestly pray. Because there is not one of you in the room even with tabs in your pink bible that can honestly say "without a doubt."

Furtick, of course, preaches in opposition to the Scriptures, which says that those who doubt are double-minded, unstable, and should expect not to receive anything from the Lord.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. --James 1:5-8
