Kenneth Erwin Hagin ( August 20, 1917-September 19, 2003 ) was an influential American Pentecostal preacher.

Kenneth E. Hagin was born in McKinney, Texas, the son of Lillie Viola Drake Hagin and Jess Hagin.

He also claimed that he was raised from a deathbed on August 8, 1934 by " the revelation of faith in God's Word " ( Kenneth Hagin, I Went to Hell and What Faith Is ).

In 1963, Kenneth E. Hagin Evangelistic Association was incorporated, and the offices of the ministry moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1966.

Hagin based the belief of healing for all on the understanding that healing for the physical body was included in redemption.

Although Hagin emphasized that material prosperity was a redemptive blessing, he never taught that living by faith excluded hard work and wise business practices.

Hagin goes on to say that his mother was praying so loud when he arrived back in his body that " traffic was lined up for two blocks on either side of our house!

Hagin claimed that Jesus died as the substitute for all of humanity, as do most Christians ( Bible, ), but also believes that Jesus suffered the torments of hell for three days and that He ' defeated the devil ', stripped him of all authority and was resurrected after being ' quickened in spirit ' or ' born again '.

Although Hagin often spoke of the dramatic spiritual encounters he claimed to have had, he always insisted that faith was to be established upon the word of God alone and not upon the experiences of man.

In 1982, one of Farah's students, Daniel Ray McConnell, submitted a thesis to the faculty at Oral Roberts University arguing that Kenyon was the father of the teaching, that Hagin had plagiarized his doctrines from Kenyon, and that the unique doctrines of the Word of Faith were heretical.

This doctrine was later supposedly taken up by Hagin, Copeland and many of their followers.

Hagin's teaching was featured in his book The Name of Jesus ( 1978 edition ), yet in a 1991 letter to the Christian Research Institute, Hagin's son Kenneth Hagin Jr. denied this interpretation and claimed Hagin senior had never taught the notion of a born again Jesus or the adoption of Satan's nature.

Concerned with doctrinal problems in Brazilian churches, in 1993 Romeiro wrote Super Crentes: O evangelho segundo Kenneth Hagin, Valnice Milhomens e os profetas da prosperidade ( Super Believers: The Gospel According to Kenneth Hagin, Valnice Milhomens and the Prophets of Prosperity ) that refutes the neo-pentecostal Prosperity gospel and critiques its leaders, especially Kenneth E. Hagin and Valnice Milhomens.

In 1974, Hagin founded RHEMA Bible Training Center USA, which now has training centers in fourteen countries and has 30, 000 alumni.

In 1985, Hagin left the White House to be Public Affairs Director for Federated Department Stores, which owns Macy's and Bloomingdale's.

They had two children, a son named Kenneth Wayne Hagin, who is presently the pastor of Rhema Bible Church and President of Kenneth Hagin Ministries, and a daughter named Patricia Harrison.

Faith and Authority: Hagin believed that the believer through his position in Christ had authority over elements of this world and elements of the satanic world.

Noted Word of Faith teachers, such as Kenneth E. Hagin and Charles Capps, have argued that God created the universe simply by speaking it into existence (), and that humans have been endowed with the ability ( power ) to speak things into existence.

The teachings of Kenneth Hagin have been described by Candy Gunther Brown of Indiana University as the most " orthodox " form of Word of Faith prosperity teaching.

Joe Hagin is the former Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations.

Salvation: Hagin claimed in several of his books that he physically died three times as a child.

On the third trip to hell, Hagin claims to have asked Jesus for forgiveness and salvation.

" After this dramatic experience, Hagin came to believe that church membership and water baptism were not sufficient to save but rather the ' new birth worked by the power of the Holy Spirit ' in response to a personal confession of faith in the Lordship and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Facing the forest now, she who had not dared to enter it before, walked between two trees at random and headed in what she believed was the direction of the pool.
