American Gospel: Christ Alone

Examines the prosperity gospel preaching of many televangelists (spoiler: this video is against it.) the main thing that was a turn off with this documentary was that it would flip between testimonies for and against the prosperity doctrines so quickly it would be hard to tell which point of view was being promoted. the stories are told in a linear but very broken fashion so that it takes a bit to figure out what each person's story is as it is interspersed with all the others. most of those testifying are ones who came out of a prosperity church and the other side isn't represented. (on screen notes say that they chose not to comment but the film crew doesn't even talk to any of the prosperity preachers' followers.) at no point do the film makers identify themselves and their own agenda (other than anti-prosperity).

I cannot recommend this film high enough! It was phenomenal! Accurate, encouraging, convicting, and so well done. It was reverent and glory to God and shared the gospel so beautifully and fully. Love love love this film!

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.

This is probably one of the best Christian documentaries on the word of faith health and wealth doctrine ever made. Not only does it cover the subject of the problems with the health and wealth word of faith doctrine it also preaches the Gospel. Some of the best and most respected preachers and teachers in today's Christian world discuss and explain the danger of this doctrine and how to identify true Christianity over a false and counterfeit Christianity . This movie is a must see no matter if you are a believer in Jesus as the savior or a non believer.

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.
