He was one of the leaders in the WOF movement that teaches your words have power. Guess he knows the truth now...hopefully he repented of his heresies before it was too late.
Charles Capps (1934 - February 23, 2014)[1]was an American Christian preacher and teacher in the Word of Faith movement, and has had great influence on the movement through his books and teaching. He and his wife Peggy were headquartered in England, Arkansas. Charles Capps was a retired farmer, land developer, and Bible teacher who has traveled extensively throughout the United States and several foreign countries sharing the truths of God's Word. (Hardly!) He has taught Bible seminars for over 35 years, emphasizing the authority of the believer, faith and the power of words.
Capps had a ministry, Concepts of Faith, with radio and television programs that are broadcast around the world, and speaks at seminars and conventions. Common themes Capps addresses are issues related to Biblical everyday living and faith and confession. He has also appeared on the Believers Voice of Victory television program, hosted by Kenneth Copeland Ministries of Fort Worth, Texas. (That right there tells you a lot!)
Capps uses anecdotes, but tends to concentrate on a systematic exposition of the teachings of the Bible. The books tend to focus on the core of the Biblical Word of Faith by emphasis on being careful of what we say, as words have power (Mark 11:22-25). His best- selling mini-book, "God's Creative Power" organizes scriptures into prayers. It has sold over 5 million copies.
Capps passed away in his home on February 23, 2104. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.
Some of his heresies:
"God filled His words with faith to cause the things He said to come into manifestation. There was an image inside Him. He expressed it in words."
(The Substance of Things (Tulsa, OK: Harrison House, 1990) Page 19)
"Faith is the substance, the raw material....Faith is the substance that God used to create the universe, and He transported that Faith with His words....Faith is the substance of things, but you can't see faith. Faith is a spiritual force."
(Changing the Seen & Shaping the Unseen (Tulsa, OK: Harrison House, 1980) Pages 14-15)
"He framed the world with His words. You can't build without substance. He took words--faith-Filled words were God's substance. Here, essentially, is what God did. God filled His words with faith. He used His words as containers to hold His faith and contain that spiritual force and transport it out there into the vast darkness by saying 'Light be!' That's the way God transported His faith causing creation and transformation."
(Dynamics of Faith & Confession (Tulsa, OK: Harrison House, 1987) Pages 28-29)
"God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness. The word likeness in the original Hebrew means " an exact duplication in kind." . . . Adam was an exact duplication of God's kind!"
(Authority in Three Worlds (Tulsa, OK: Harrison House, 1982) Pages 15-16)
"in this [the Abrahamic Covenant], God is establishing some legal entry into the earth, and He is giving Abraham access to Himself. . . . This Covenant gave God legal entry into the earth through Abraham....Until that time God was, to a certain extent, still on the outside looking in. He needed a legal entry through man so that He could destroy the works of the Devil who was running rampant on earth. . . . Abraham was God's avenue of entry into the earth."
(Authority in Three Worlds - Pages 60-61)
"Notice that when Jesus said, 'I have finished the work', we know that He had nor finished the work. But I want you to catch something in the way He prayed and the way He talked--He spoke the end results. He never spoke what was. He never admitted death or defeat. . . . Jesus was speaking the end results in His prayer to the Father."
(Authority in Three Worlds - Pages 258-259)
"The sinless son of God became as a serpent that He might swallow up all evil....If you will behold what happened when the sin offering was made and the fact that Jesus became a serpent upon the pole, it will change your life. . . . Jesus died spiritually, not for any of His own sin! He became the serpent on the pole, the snake on the ground, in the Old Testament type."
(Authority in Three Worlds - Page 177 & Pages 166-167)
"If there's any part of hell Jesus did not suffer, you'll have to suffer it. But, thank God, Jesus suffered it all, for you! In the place of the wicked dead, all the demons of hell and Satan rejoiced over the prize. The corridors of hell were filled with joy. 'We've done it! We've captured the Son of God! We'll no longer be in the pit of the damned! The earth and all that is therein is ours! Forever it will be ours!' Rejoicing in hell had never been so great as it was that day. But it was short-lived."
(Authority in Three Worlds - Page 143)
"When Jesus was in the pit of hell. in that terrible torment, no doubt the Devil and his emissaries gathered around to see the annihilation of God's Son. But in the corridors of hell, there came a great voice from heaven: 'Turn Him Loose! He's there illegally!' And all of hell became paralyzed."
(Authority in Three Worlds - Page 143)
"I (God) am not that one that is causing your problems. You are under attack of the evil one and I can't do anything about it. You have bound me by the words of your own mouth." (The Tongue: A Creative Force - Page 67)
