Bethel's gospel is mostly intact but distorted by the addition of physical healing as a central gospel promise

Bill Johnson's Theology and Movement Examined Biblically. 00:16:52 – 00:17:53

Mike assesses the core gospel content at Bethel

Mike says the gospel of salvation — Jesus' death and resurrection, faith for eternal life — is intact at Bethel, but they have added physical healing to the gospel itself as a present-tense, guaranteed promise. This is more than a peripheral teaching; it is framed as central to what Jesus came to accomplish and what the church is to proclaim.

No man left behind: Jesus died for all

Did Jesus’ death leave no man left behind that was not covered by His death on the cross? For many Christians who identify as Calvinists, the gospel includes the conclusion that Jesus died only for a select group of people who were predetermined by God before the world was created.

Was John the Baptist predestined to be saved?

In the teaching of Calvinism, there is an election to salvation for some men while the rest of mankind are created without a hope of eternal life. In this understanding God has pre-determined from eternity past that all but the elect would remain in their sin and be lost forever.
