Sheesh, sometimes reading helps. I actually said I didn't support him. But I do support people turning away from bad practices. That's just a little something I picked up from Jesus. But you go on making the world a better place by exposing people on the internet.
You are supporting him by endorsing this clip as repentance. When it comes to picking up things from Jesus, one thing Jesus did (and still does- Hebrews 13:8) was only accept people's repentance when it involved appropriate restitution, appropriate contrition, and proper/Biblical labelling of their sin. Imagine if Jesus had told Zaccheus that salvation had come to his house while he proudly rebuked defrauding while not making restitution nor being broken over his own defrauding. Hinn is only saving face in this clip, not losing face like Zaccheus and like all who truly repent for the glory of God unto salvation.
A bit of a fools errand to try to convince people to look at big time ministries inc in a fair and just manner. Done it for years and have never been successful. Not because I agreed with the big time ministers on issues. My main reason for doing so has always been. The judgement you judge with is the way you will be judged. I care about Christians. I hate for them to face the judgement that they judged others with come down on them. It’s like when they call some one a false teacher or prophet because they are teaching something false. But somehow miss the fact that they themselves are filled with false teaching. Which God’s grace will overlook in judge you as a true believer who erred as we all do. Unless you can’t see past your own hard heart and cannot extend that same judgement to your brother.
Why is it assumed that all who label others as false teachers haven't seen past and condemned their own heart? Isn't such an assumption awfully judgmental? No one is in fact in a better position to judge others than those who have already appropriately judged themselves. Otherwise anything can pass for Christianity, the strait and narrow becomes wide and broad, and this is all just one big party of letting each other off the hook for each other's sins in a presumptive confidence that God will do the same for us though we don't judge ourselves and repent in accordance with God's Law.
