American Gospel: Christ Alone

This movie accurately depicts the Gospel as presented in God's word and shows the history, absurd growth, and danger that is the Word of Faith movement and how it cannot be the true gospel. From an hour long fantastically presented gospel, to the deconstruction of this movement and testimonials of people who have come out of it. I ahave recommended this movie to a ton of people I know and will be showing it to people who are currently subscribing to this false doctrine as a means of challenging them. My wife and I have been greatly encouraged, challenged, and our faith and resolved has been strenghtened. Thank you for creating this documrntary, and we pray it will continue to send shockwaves throughout christiandom, evangelical cirlces, word of Faith adherents and the world at large. May God bless this work and continue to save the lost and further How kingdom and Glory. For Christ alone.

This movie is extremely well done and has a legit, theologically sound lineup. It presents a huge problem with Christianity today as not being biblical within this stream of Word of Faith/Prosperity gospel. It takes you directly into Scripture to support its viewpoint. Unfortunately, this stream of Christianity is growing and bring exported globally.

This video is the absolute best of its kind. It very clearly shows the key differences between prosperity preachers - who are only after money and fame - and godly preachers of the Scriptures who are unwilling to compromise truth; who's only aim is to glorify God and see the lost come to Christ in saving faith as well as see true believers continue to grow in the faith.

This film is an absolute MUST WATCH for all lay church leadership, elders, and deacons. There are so many false teachings that have crept into the church and, as a result, many church members are either confused or completely unaware.

This film will help clarify what these issues are as well as bring to light the true Gospel.

This film does a remarkable job of presenting what true Christianity is, showing the sharp contrasts between the biblical gospel and the modern American heresy known as the "health & wealth" gospel. While the director and the majority of those interviewed clearly take a side against these false teachings, they do so in a fair, honest, and deeply engaging way. If you consider yourself a christian, you will find this film challenging, edifying, and perhaps even convicting. If you are not a christian, there is no better film out there for giving you an accurate presentation of what true christianity is.

My husband and I watched this movie lasts night (11/29/2018). We both loved the first half of the film, the emphasis on the true gospel of Jesus Christ, the explanation of the catholic church vs Christianity post reformation, works and grace. The people they interviewed and sought out were high caliber (Mark Dever, J.D. Greear, Trevin Wax, Matt Chandler, Bryan Chapell just to name a few.) I learned quite a bit from just the first half of the film and give a lot of thanks for the time and focus given to the true gospel.

Where my husband and I think the film may have missed its step is in focusing on the extreme examples of the prosperity gospel, and the extreme examples of people who have had radical testimonies of conversion as well as giving their lives up for the gospel. This is an area that we both sadly have seen repeated over and over, even in the reformed church. Something I have heard Timothy Keller say in sermons is that Redeemer purposefully chooses to not display public testimonies of radical conversions because a lot of people have "ho hum" conversion stories. (raised in the church, came to faith young, no real radical experience of conversion but a gradual awakening to God's amazing grace).

We also are concerned that the emphasis is on "those people in the word and faith movement" and that there is no self-examination encouraged in mainline, reformed, evangelical Christianity. It touches briefly on this indirectly, but it doesn't flesh it out enough. I could see how this movie could help a lot of people, but I can also see how this movie can just puff up evangelicals in their own prosperity gospel theology, never seeing it in themselves or their churches or families. This scares me, cause I've seen it in solid, biblical, mainline churches and Christian families. I've even had to repent of these beliefs in myself, and I've NEVER attended a prosperity gospel church, I was always taught it is heresy.

Lastly, the examples were so extreme that they are not relatable for most Christians. There was a couple statements made that pushing Christians to have a radical faith in God and for the gospel only burns people out. YES! We absolutely would agree with this, we have experienced it from family, friends and the church and it is exhausting. BUT, where are the average joe examples of faith in Christ and the beautiful gospel that just transforms us in the mundane? I think this film skirts too closely to looking eerily similar to the sensationalism that it is decrying. Let's show how the gospel motivates us to be faithful in the everyday, and stop pumping a gospel message that although does call us to leave all for Christ, for some that might mean staying in your job, paying your bills faithfully, and raising a family that loves and adores Jesus.
