Probably best known for claiming back in the 80s that God would take him to heaven unless people sent money in to his ministry.

I wonder if guys like him actually fear death. I mean if he really believed in the nonsense he spouted would he have cause to believe that he would be denied the keys to the kingdom and be sent southward?

ORAL ROBERTS DIES, PROVING THAT HIS TEACHING WAS FALSE (Friday Church News Notes, December 18, 2009, www.wayoflife.org [email protected], 866-295-4143) - Famous Pentecostal �healing evangelist� Oral Roberts died of pneumonia on December 15 at age 91. This act proved that his teaching was false, as he often said that it is God�s will to heal every sickness. For example, the September 1976 issue of Abundant Life magazine contained an article entitled, �Why I Know that God Wants to Heal You.� Roberts wrote, �Sickness is part of the curse and Jesus came to destroy the curse. He suffered in our stead because he did not want us to suffer disease. He took our specific diseases and infirmities upon his own sinless, perfect body in complete payment for the penalty of sin,� and, �Sickness is not part of God�s plan and not devised by God�s will.� Roberts even suggested that preachers who pray for God to heal, �If it be thy will,� should be sued for �theological malpractice.� When he breathed his last, Roberts demonstrated with great finality that he was a false teacher. No one dies of healthiness!
