"For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears." (Acts 20:29-31)

UNBIBLICAL STATEMENTS FROM EDDIE LONG
"God says the only way people can see me is through my people. They have been looking for God and He can't be seen. Didn't Jesus say, 'that you are gods?' You are gods with a little 'g'. Don't you understand that you are mighty? Don't you know that you are a king? If Elohim (gods) could only get you to act like El (God)." / "I don't have to have somebody tell me that Sunday I preached. I looked in the mirror and said to myself, 'You preached!' Then I gave myself an offering." / "You have been saved too long to be broke!" (Eddie Long, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March 29, 2004)
"My whole objective in life is to be His image, His duplicate, His witness and to show folk what He look like. Somebody say, 'I want to see God.' Here He is, look at me!" (Eddie Long, "God Is After Himself," Ministry CD)
"How would you feel if I announced to you that if you declared something that it had to happen?" / "You have enough glory in your mouth that when you declare a thing, then it shall be established." / "Touch your neighbor and say, 'You got power in your mouth.' Tell them, 'There is power in your words.'"/ "If you go to the graveyard you better watch out! People might come crawling out of their graves because you got the manifesting power When you speak words of faith." (Eddie Long, "There's Power In Your Words," March 2, 2003)
"It is so important that you change your vocabulary. A lot of the stuff I found myself in, I spoke it."
(Eddie Long, "There's Power In Your Words," March 5, 2003)
"I am looked at as one of the 'churches' fathers. One of God's CEO's." (Eddie Long, "The Empowerment of Kings," February 10, 2002)
"When God created, say 'created.' When God created the Spirit Man... He sliced us off of Him. For generations we dwelled with him in spirit." (Eddie Long, "Behold We Are Like God," March 23, 2003)
"Woman is the soul of man. She is his flesh consciousness. In essence, God made Eve to help Adam replenish the earth. Woman has the canal... everything else is an exit. God had to separate Adam and Eve where they connected so he could tell them to reconnect in covenant to duplicate Him." (Eddie Long, "God Is After Himself")
"You get the disease you inherited out of you through the blood sacrifice. You must recreate the covenant, the image. Anything else tells God that the blood is null and void. If you don’t become my duplicate, you can’t come back to me, despite what you do in My (God’s) name." (Eddie Long, "God Is After Himself")
