What are the main beliefs/themes of the Prosperity Gospel?

And which are the current prominent groups and their pastors?

  • It would probably be good to specifically ask for those who self identify as prosperity teachers... for many it is a pejorative label that would be rejected (even if it would be justified).

The main proponents of this doctrine are leaders such as: Kenneth Hagan Jr; Kenneth Copeland; Joel Osteen; Norvel Hayes; Derrick Prince...
