Benny Hinn.

What about in the video where the woman says he predicted she would get saved?

Even a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut. He had a 50/50 chance of being right.

But how would he know that she was putting curses on him and what about her seeing the white light around him?

 

[SpeckOdust]

I did hear somewhere,that God asked him (Benny Hinn) to give away all his savings which amounted to over 1 Million Dollars.Benny Hinn did so,and God gave it all back and put more money into Benny Hinn's pocket on-top-of what he initially gave! I am more inclined to believe what I just typed.

This whole story from TRIN ministries is suspect to you?

Not read it or heard it, but if Hinn is involved then I would say that it suspect to me.

Mathew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

This verse says that many wonders (probable good deeds) will be done but only to deceive.

You keep asking if posters believe that these individuals are saved. Them saying they are saved does not mean that they are. It is at the judgment of God for each individual that it is determined if we are saved or not.

 

[JoeP222w]

I think Christians would do well to focus on a positive Christ-centered ministry. Fighting with brothers and sisters in Christ over purity, is in most cases doing the work of the devil.

Christ is about unity, not division. I'm personally not a fan of Hinn. But if Hinn can bring some people to God, then that's good. I would not take it upon myself to start attacking my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Self-righteousness is a path to perdition.

Ok, then how do you exegete the passage below:

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

How do you test the spirits?

 

[Sammy-San]

LOL, tell me, doesn't that reek of untruth to you? I mean just what you told me there.

If it walks like a Duck, there is a great probability it is.

Why? Because of the deathbed repentance story? Or do you think both are made up stories?

How much more, a blind Hinn.

Are they making up stories of themselves deceived?

Is this a joke?

Good question.

I think anything that sounds outrageous is most likely made up. We get to the point we can quickly pick up on what these people are.

Wish I had the time to go check of of them out, and prove what they are but there are so many..

 

[JoeP222w]

How do we know that one or both of them are telling the truth? We don't.

 

[GeorgeJ]

Benny Hinn = Just one more wof charlatan.

 

[Original Happy Camper]

I cannot say one way or the other, but could they be demon possessed? If there testimony is not according to the scriptures then there is no light in them.

 

[W2L]

I struggle to understand how preachers can have large amounts of money in personal wealth. One popular preacher has a leather jacket for each day of the weak. It seems like a contradiction. How can a person dress so well when there is so much suffering in the world. Forgive me if im wrong, but it bothers me, and i cant listen to them.

Good question.

I agree. The particular "faith movement" the Benny Hinn is associated with breeds preachers like that.

It is called prosperity theology.
Wikipedia
Prosperity theology (sometimes referred to as the prosperity gospel, the health and wealth gospel, or the gospel of success) [A] is a religious belief among some Christians, who hold that financial blessing and physical well-being are always the will of God for them, and that faith, positive speech, and donations to religious causes will increase one's material wealth. It is based on interpretations of the Bible that are traditional to Judaism (with respect to the Hebrew Bible),[1] though less so in Christianity. Prosperity theology views the Bible as a contract between God and humans: if humans have faith in God, he will deliver security and prosperity.
Prominent leaders in the development of prosperity theology include E. W. Kenyon, Oral Roberts, A. A. Allen, Robert Tilton, T. L. Osborn, Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, Mike Murdock, Reverend Ike and Kenneth Hagin.
Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) emerged as the dominant force in prosperity televangelism, having brought Robert Tilton and Benny Hinn to prominence
