Kinda sorta. There are all sorts of weird theologies floating around that have varying degrees of overlap. The health and wealth gospel that promises us perfect health on this earth mysteriously fails to guarantee freedom from death (they sometimes use the "no sickness exists in heaven therefore it shouldn't exist on earth" line but apparently that only applies to sickness and not to sorrow, pain, death etc). Cue the Manifest Sons Of God theology that allows people to more or less become like little gods here on earth and become immortal this side of heaven. Hey, Jesus died for that too, doncha know? Then there's the Dominionism theology that holds that Adam was given dominion over the earth, freely gave it to Satan when he ate the forbidden fruit, Jesus took it back when he was crucified and gave it back to us, and now we're supposed to clean up the earth so we can hand it over, perfected, to Jesus at the Second Coming. Aside from the dominion being handed around like a bag of candy being so full of holes it's a wonder anyone buys it, it puts all the power in our hands because apparently Jesus cannot come back until we've done our bit. So God sits around in heaven, wringing his hands like some kind of impotent bumbling fool, wishing we'd get on with the bit he gave us to do so he can step in and do his bit. It's a far cry from "all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me".
Since I left the church that went off the rails I haven't spent anywhere near as much time studying this stuff, at the time I was reading a lot of it because there are so many teachers pushing more or less the same teachings that have varying levels of what I'd call theological toxicity, and I wanted to put forward a coherent rebuttal of what they were teaching. Although from the response I got back from the leadership it was clear I might as well not have bothered. All I can hope is that they actually consider what I said and maybe sometime either change course or explain why I was wrong. Since they refused to do either there was no way I could regard them as spiritual leaders, hence I had little option but to find another church.
