But Diva, what falliables have you found in his doctrine? This is interesting, I'm curious since you're obvious a serious studier of the word.

This is exactly what I am talking about with the lines of secular and gospel being blurred. I understand artist who want to get the word out to the world who might not hear it. But if your familiar with Creflo A. Dollat and his wife Taffi, They preach a gospel that Jesus doesnt and is really money centered.
As for Mr. Jakes He has been accused by many christians (including myself) of heresey statements about the Trinity (Basicaly promoting modalism, an ancient heresy that states that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are just different "modes" of God rather than three unique entities.) Jakes is deceiving his followers by promoting Oneness Pentecostal views. A known cult in the christian world to read up on them and their views you can go here

Their views are not biblically sound to me.
Oneness teaches God is one person only, who was manifested in the flesh. Waht about His many manifestations in the Bible...
Oneness theology teaches that there is only one God. That God is numerically singular, and that Jesus Christ is that one God. With Deut.6:4 as their proclamation, they reject any concept of unity that would change the numerical one from its strict singular meaning. Oneness theology tries to explain the Oneness of God at the expense of the threeness. By using this as their beginning premise they can only come to the conclusion that the three who are called God, the Father, Son and Spirit can only be singular in person.
Mr Jakes is heavily involved with oneness pentecostals and some of these "biblical" teachings of his should be addressed.
