Kenneth Hagin wrote that God had created humans "in the same class of being that he is himself,"<ref>Kenneth E. Hagin, ''Zoe: The God-Kind of Life'', (Kenneth Hagin Ministries, Inc., 1989)</ref> and reasoned that if humans are made in God's image, they are "in God's class",<ref name="autogenerated34">E. W. Kenyon, The Father and His Family (Lynnwood, WA: Kenyon’s Gospel Publishing Society, 32nd printing, 1998 [1916, 1937]), p.34</ref> and thereby 'gods'.<ref name="autogenerated34"/><ref>Kenneth E. Hagin, New Thresholds of Faith (Tulsa, OK: FLP, 2nd ed, 1985 [1972]), p. 56.</ref> Many Evangelical critics have condemned the "little gods" teaching as cultic. [[Hank Hanegraaff]], for example, contends the 'little gods' doctrine is on a par with the teaching of the [[Maharishi Mahesh Yogi]] and [[Jim Jones]].<ref>Hank Hanegraaff, ''Christianity in Crisis'', (Harvest House, 1992)</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
