Prosperity Heresy

It may surprise the reader to find this particular subject in a website devoted to cults and new religions.  However, as we will see, there are valid reasons for including it.  Before we delve in the Prosperity Gospel and its inherent problems, one observation is necessary.  There are many well-meaning Christians who believe the teachings of this movement and belong to churches which espouse these particular doctrines.  So we are not saying that to believe in the Prosperity Gospel means that you are automatically part of a cult, and are not a true believer in Christ.  However, there are  enough errors present in the teachings of the Prosperity Gospel that it is certainly a dangerous belief system to be avoided.
