Benny Hinn.

Just the title tells me there is a problem "infallible" belongs only to GOD not any man.

Does the content seem suspect and unbibical?

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

Thank you. I believe they misuse scripture of both OT and NT.

I will not read it due to the title, as it tells me that it is not scriptural.

It talks about an angel translating languages-sounds like a spirit guide to me.

Can you show me scripture that supports this statement?

Back to Benny Hinn and some of his teachings that are not biblical IMHO.
"Had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have sinned" (Good Morning Holy Spirit, first edition, 1990, p135);
"Jesus knew the only way He would stop Satan is by becoming one in nature with him" (Benny Hinn, TBN, 15th December 1990).

Unmasked.....Benny Hinn

Padre Pio - Wikipedia

Those close to him attest that he began to manifest several spiritual gifts, including the gifts of healing, bilocation, levitation, prophecy, miracles, extraordinary abstinence from both sleep and nourishment (one account states that Padre Agostino recorded one instance in which Padre Pio was able to subsist for at least 20 days at Verafeno on only the Eucharist without any other nourishment), the ability to read hearts, the gift of tongues, the gift of conversions, and the fragrance from his wounds.[14]

I've heard of no particular stories other than this one that I recall, but I have little doubt people come to their senses, whether it be from involvement in the occult, a cult or whatever and do get out.

I find this suspect because of the circumstances surrounding it, that being mainly Hinn. I found the following without really looking that hard, so not sure what else is out there, but this is enough to tell us plenty.

Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

The bible is very clear that we'll know when Christ returns, "we will be changed in the twinkling of an eye" and any claims like Hinn has made in the clip to get more people in his meetings, hence more money, are absolutely bogus.

Do you find this story suspect?

posted earlier: What do you believe about Godly manifestations of the spiritual gifts (I Cor 12)?

posted: Are you referring to the girl in the video, or the other people I mentioned?

Neither, what do you believe about the spiritual gifts? (I Cor 12).

That isn't a specific question.

 

[Haramis]

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?

I listen to how the Spirit guides *me*. I don't see much value in attacking other people for responding to Benny Hinn.

Our salvation comes through Christ alone. Charismatic or mainline, these things come down to worship style. God reaches different people in different ways. It's not a situation where only Methodists "get it" and everyone else is in error. Catholics, Adventists, and Baptists all have their place in God's plan. None are superior to the others. They are simply different cultures that foster faith in Christ.

What is the case with the girl in that video-fabricator?

 

[now faith]

Benny Hinn = Just one more wof charlatan.

Hinn is not WOF, years ago he may have tried to use the Word of Faith movement for his own purpose.
So this is just one more ignorant statement about a movement people judge because they don't know jack about what the topic is.

Well how about the sick broke and busted Gospel?
Or the let's base our religon on one women who claimed to be a prophet in the 1800s.
Or how about a double standard in doctrine from a clear stance on the King James to oh let's use the New King James!
Odd Walter Veith made it clear the New King James is not based on the Textus Recptus.

Personally I do not follow most of the people you listed,but I have studied SDA dogma.

What is your view on the woman in the video I posted?

 

[now faith]

I do not follow Hinn,but I would use caution in accusing someone who very well may be gifted by the Holy Spirit.

It is serious business to touch God's anointed,God will deal with fakes or his anointed that falls into sin.

Just stopping by,Hinn is always called WOF time and time again we refute him as WOF.

I will watch the video and reply.
