Prosperity Gospel

Prosperity Gospel is a heretical branch of Christian theology, commonly found within Pentecostal and Charismatic circles.

Simply put, the Prosperity Gospel teaches that through faith, all things will be given to you, be it healing, cash, or any other blessing. One major caveat is that, before obtaining such blessings, you must first give money to "God" (usually the person teaching, and generally a minimum of the tithe).

It is heavily criticized by Evangelicals and Fundamentalists as being aberrant if not outright apostate.
