False Teaching: T.D. Jakes hold to the prosperity gospel teaching. With the practise of the "Altar Call" shows his support for "easy believism".
When T.D.Jakes asks if Christ is the only way he quotes John 10:16 claiming he does not know who the other sheep are, so he will leave it up to God whether or not Muslims and other groups are going to heaven.
He has been accused with holding to Oneness views. One reason being the founder of the "Pater Alliance" that he founded with 250 churches being part of it. He says he provides leadership to Pastors of Baptist, Presbyterian and Pentecostal churches.
He denies the claims that he holds to "oneness theology" stating: "My association with Oneness people does not constitute assimilation into their ranks any more than my association with the homeless in our city makes me one of them."(Source)
Yet if one reads this source article closely, some of the terms used it is a poorly disguised attempt to hide his Modelistic views, he also practises baptism in the Oneness teaching's manner.
