FTR, No ... I didn't coin "Magic Hair"

[DAII]

From the NFCF Lexicon, as posted by PressingOn in 2006:

Magic Hair - (noun) 1. A term for RRH's doctrine of mysticism, apparently resulting from traditionalists realizing there is a dearth of scripture for uncut-hair-or-hell. 2. Also propagated by mysticists like LS as doctrine who endorses a women's long hair to be used as a magic talisman. Instances are related and touted such as women literally laying their hair over a sick child and the child healed specifically because of the uncut hair. The doctrine leads to further outlandish claims such as divorce and adultery in pentecostal homes are a direct result of women cutting their hair. Afraid of confrontation, UPC leadership (and of course conservatives on NFCF) do not refute what they deep-down know is unscriptural and dangerous doctrine. But since it indirectly supports the uncut hair doctrine (for which there is a lack of scriptural support), Rieder's and her minions' "Magic Hair" doctrine has been allowed to take seed and root in United Pentecostal theology.

I think HMH is a pretty good designation for that theory.

i don't think people who believe, preach, and practice HMH are lost.
I think some allow it and some even promote it while not believing it because it is a way of emphasizing the uncut hair doctrine held by some. They sorta look at it like, "Yeah, it ain't Bible but it keeps the yokels from cutting their hair." Also I believe some who of them who believe, preach, and practice it are sincerely serving the Lord to the best of their ability.

You have to admit that among us Christians there are some strange beliefs.

Any bubbles present were due to burst anyway. Bubbles of hot air tend to do that.

Jim Yohe coined it. I remember when he was having kittens reading Ruth Reiders "Power before the Throne". He was planning on writing a book against the teaching. Im thinking in 1998 or 99 when I was at IBC and I used to travel with him sometimes in his evangelism trips in Indiana. Maybe when his son and I went to visit him in Independence, LA.

No matter who is deserving of the name copyright, the term "fits" the product.
