If he beleives God wants to bless him like Solomon what is that to me? I do believe many many souls are healed delivered and brought closer to Jesus at his meetings and their lives changed forever. Lord knows just watching his show changed my heart through the years. I think as Christians we need to stay open to whatever God wants to do while still maintaining our stance that we will not be deceived by the evil one. Any time we get off on a path of speculation it's the wrong thing to do. This guy is kind of Throwing Benny Hinn under the bus and it seems wrong to me. But what do I know? Maybe he felt it was his mission to expose something. To let everyone know Benny Hinn is a man not perfect and not 100 percent like Jesus. Maybe he's only 50 percent like Jesus or 75....who cares? It's between Benny Hinn and God.
    I agree...we need to be careful...God uses us imperfect vessels..

    I heard Kenneth Copeland state how he was criticizing a certain preacher when God reprimanded him...he said he told God he was sorry but then added, but You know he's wrong. He said at that moment God reminded him of some of his own stupid stuff that he had moved on from....

    Benny Hinn had great insight into welcoming the presence of the Holy Spirit and creating an open environment for HIM to speak and move....we would do well to embrace that and trust the Spirit to lead and teach us what to leave behind...

    One thing I learned about heresy hunters-critics of WoF/Charismatic ministers is how, if they actually do find some legitimate fault, they often over-emphasize, exaggerate and blow it so far out of proportion that you would think that the minister just committed genocide on a whole country. Very seldom can they find a case of immorality among the Word-Faith teachers so they have to dig until they find some thing that they can use as a stick to keep beating with.

    They call themselves "discernment" ministers. I call them "accusers of the brethren". We know that the latter is NOT a calling from Jesus.

    Exaggerate....absolutely....I noted in another thread how when I started to read Christianity In Crisis I saw such exaggerated mocking at the start of the book I refused to read it any further...anyone who starts out that way is not someone I want to mentor me in the faith..had it started out respectful and loving in nature I may have read it...

    Yes, CinC is a very difficult read. You have to keep yourself from getting very angry as you read the mocking, misrepresentation, unbelief and hyper-calvinistic bias of the book. I do not recommend anyone reading it unless God leads them to for the purpose of knowing how critics think.

    It was one of the few books I actually destroyed rather than keep or pass on...

    I won't read anything by that man. I've heard him on the radio and I could feel myself get heated in my emotions. Something is wrong with him.
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    It is hard to be that mocking and exaggerated (dishonest) and not feel conviction...scary place IMHO

    VW, who is he and what is his name. I don't know what cinC is? Thank you. If you wish to not disclose his name, can you private message me? Thank you so much.

    LOL...I didn't know what he meant by CinC at first either! Apparently that's how he thought to abbreviate Hank Hanegraaff's book 'Christianity in Crisis'.

    We had a thread on him a few months ago:

    My apologies. I assumed that everyone on this forum was familiar with Hank Hanegraaff, the so-called "Bible Answer Man," Current president of Christian Research Institute (CRI) and his infamous book, "Christianity in Crisis" (or, the latest revision, "Christianity in Crisis: 21st Century). The book was an attack on Kenneth Hagin, Fred Price, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn and others. The premise was that the WoF is a CULT with unorthodox doctrine and should be placed on the same level as Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, etc.

    Basically, when one reads the book (which should NOT be done unless one is truly grounded in the Word and even still only if led by God to read this trash) one can find that it is based on a prejudiced theological mindset (primarily, hyper-Calvinism and cessationism). It contains NUMEROUS out-of-context quotes to make the faith teacher look bad (I have read the context of many of the quotes and saw that the person was NOT saying what the book claims was being said), and twisted historical "research" (a so-called "Kenyon-connectin that purports the false idea that E. W. Kenyon embraced New Thought and Christian Science teachings, synthesized them with his Bible teachings, supposedly influencing Kenneth Hagin, and Hagin influencing the rest of the WoF - all which have been proven FALSE).

    In my humble opinion, it is one of the worse diatribes in the history of books. The only reason I was compelled to buy and read this trash was because so many former WoFer had read it and their faith became ship-wrecked. I used to have a web page that has, thankfully, helped many people who were on the fence after reading this utter garbage disguised as an apologetic. Not sure if I will ever return to doing that type of ministry again since the need for it now does not seem to be as extensive as it was when the book appeared on the market. Besides, I do not relish the idea of ever having to read anymore heresy hunter junk.
