"Prophetess" Gloria Kelley is a member of E. Bernard Jordan's Company of Prophets, and a key player within Jordan's Prophetic Network.
In this YouTube video titled, "I am equal with GOD" hosted by Bishop E. Bernard Jordan
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa4KxgLhjpU ), Kelley is accompianied by a panel of prophets, all of whom are graduates of Jordan's Prophetic Order of Mar Elijah, or P.O.M.E.
Kelly is a "Class Master" in P.O.M.E., and teaches workshops in Jordan's Prophecology
In the opening stages of the video, Kelley checks to see how many people are in the Prophetic Network chatroom. Moments later, she instructs them to type in the words, "I am equal with God".
Later, after a reading from Genesis 1:26, Kelley states that, "Men was made God, for God could only create Himself in you, in man." Later, she states that, "When God decided to reproduce Himself, He created man. You are the recreation of God...I am very God, and I am very good."
Clearly, Gloria Kelley and the panel of prophets want their followers to believe that they are equal with God. But most importantly, what does God have to say?
Isaiah chapter 46 addresses those who claim to be equal with God. In verse 5, God asks, To whom would you liken Me and make Me equal and compare Me, that we would be alike? Then, in verses 8-9, God declares, Remember this, and be assured; recall it to mind, you transgressors. Remember the former things long past, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me.
God makes it abundantly clear that no one--man or woman--is equal to Him. There is but one God, Who exists as three Persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each Person is called God, but there is only one God. Man was not created as "God" or a "god," nor will man become a "god". The position of God is reserved for the God of the Bible.
There is nothing unique about the teaching that man is "God" or that man is equal with God. Although E. Bernard Jordan believes that he is "God" and that others can become "God," the teaching originated from Satan's lips (Genesis chapter 3), and worked its way into the hearts and minds of modern-day false teachers--including cultists, New Agers, and heretics such as Kenneth Hagin, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, and many others within the Word of Faith movement ( http://christianresearchservice.com/Pictorial3.htm ).
Finally, the following answer from GotQuestions.org shuts the door on the teaching that man is equal to God:
...God did not create 'peers' or beings equal to Himself. Logically, He could not do so. If God were to create another being of equal power, intelligence, and perfection, then He would cease to be the one true God for the simple reason that there would be two gods—and that would be an impossibility. 'The LORD is God; besides him there is no other' (Deuteronomy 4:35). Anything that God creates must of
necessity be lesser than He. The thing made can never be greater than, or as great as, the One who made it [ Why did God create us? ]
"Prophetess" Gloria Kelley is a false prophet who occupies a chair on the panel of false prophets, where twisting Scripture and blasphemy is a way of life.
