The following is a well researched (8 page) article from The Truth and Discernment Ministry of Victor T. Stephens:

The Word-Faith Movement: Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing

The most rapid expanding segment in today’s modern church age is the Word-Faith Movement. It is this charismatic, yet heretical camp, that is attempting to persuade us that Jesus and His disciples were rich; that poverty and sickness is sin, and that faith is a creative force. Creflo Dollar, Eddie Long, Kenneth Copeland, T.D. Jakes, and Fred Price are among many others who subscribe to these erroneous teachings. This article addresses, exposes, and refutes the unbiblical doctrines of the WordFaith Movement by closely examining the scriptures and contrasting them to Word-Faith theology. In addition to an in-depth analysis, this article contains numerous citations and audio files of the inaccurate and blasphemous statements spewed from Word-Faith teachers.

Here are some Kenneth Hagin quotes:

Christ’s physical death on the cross was not enough to save us.
-How Jesus obtained His Name, Tape 44H01

The Christian “is as much an incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth.”
-”The Incarnation,” The Word of Faith (Dec. 1980)

“[Man] was created on terms of equality with God, and he could stand in God’s presence without any consciousness of inferiority…God made us as much like Himself as possible…He made us the same class of being that He is Himself…Man lived in the realm of God. He lived on terms equal with God…[The] believer is called Christ…That’s who we are; we’re Christ”
-”Zoe: The God-Kind of Life,” 1989. pp. 35-36, 41
