Word of Faith 'little gods' teaching is serious enough to warrant leaving a church

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 12) 01:04:36 – 01:05:38

Question from someone whose pastor teaches the Word of Faith 'little gods' doctrine and has rejected private correction.

Mike states he rarely gives this kind of direct advice, but the 'little gods' teaching (humans are little gods) is so theologically dangerous that he would leave such a fellowship — especially after the pastor rejected private correction. He describes it as 'close enough to a salvation issue that it scares me.' He urges the questioner to seek counsel from multiple godly people rather than relying on his advice alone.

Multiple commentaries confirm the false teachers likely held leadership positions, and that Timothy was given Paul's own authority to command them to stop. This false-teaching context is foundational for understanding Paul's instructions in 1 Timothy 2:12.

What is the problem? It is common for Calvinists to argue that humanity can’t have free will because free will would necessitate a salvation based on works. Although the Bible does not make this claim, people have been subject to unfair accusations of heresy by overly zealous Calvinists.
