Johnson’s admission epitomizes the faith dilemma for all who claim health and wealth. The empirical data all rests in direct contradiction of their fundamental claim. There are faithful people who get sick and wicked people who remain well. If any man purports to be a healer he must examine why his efforts have failed—either he is faithless or his theology of sin and suffering is flawed. We are writing to give hope to everyone suffering under the guilt of Third Wave/NAR theology. You are not a victim. Your faith is not flawed. You have simply been sold a false theology by false teachers.

The primary difference between the healing Johnson teaches and the healing ministry of Jesus is that Jesus had a 100% success rate. A study of the Gospels reveal that Jesus healed when and how he chose, not based on the faith of people. In many cases, he healed despite the lack of faith (Matt 8:5–13; Mark 1:23–26; 9:17–29, Luke 17:11–19, John 5:1–16), making Christ’s miracle ministry different from anything promoted by Johnson. Johnson’s quote above makes it clear he takes no responsibility for his failed healings, but praise God we serve a Jesus who never failed.

The fatal doctrinal flaw in Johnson’s teaching on healing occurs when he reasons that the death of Christ is a guarantee that people will be healed in this life of every physical malady. He teaches his congregation:

No, two thousand years ago Jesus made a purchase. He does not decide not to heal people today. The decision two thousand years ago was to heal. Either the payment was sufficient for all sin or no sin. Either the payment was sufficient for all sickness or no sickness… The brushstrokes of God’s redemption was to wipe out the root of sin, the root of illness and the root of poverty.”[199]
