I heard so many bad things about them, but I love their worship.
why are folk so swift to "receive" evil report and so unwilling to accept good report ?
Yes. Hillsong Church Watch
Before all the reflex ''you're judgemental blah blah...." responses read it for yourself. It is an *objective* information resource offensive to only Charismaniacs (if it feels good it must be from God, don't question the source of those feelings) NOT truth-seekers.
and @ forever trying ..sadly said denomination has only changed tactics in the west. in the Philippines ( from 1st hand experience) you don't get help from that group nor blessing without handing over the customary offering of money $$ first. its a big world and what a denomination in one nation does can differ vastly from what it does in another nation .

No,
Hillsong is not a 'cult'.
I am in more of a position to say than most of you guys as i was part of the church for five years.
but there were some misguided principles, particularly pertaining to finances, which was one of the main reasons why i decided to leave Hillsong.
It is still a good church though.. just remember that no church is perfect.
like the one I go to now is almost perfect, except that it has alot of church politics.. but i'd prefer that over issues regarding money.
Hillsong is not a cult. Everytime I have attended Hillsong I have heard dodgy teaching. That might be in the pre-offertry pep talk or the sermon or by counsellors who talk to people who go forward for prayer or to the welcome room. I have also heard biblically accurate teaching as well. I would not like to ever be a member of a church like hillsong because I think it is way too easy to get lost in the crowd and there does seem to be a emphasis on prosperity doctrine which I do not agree with. Having said that they do some really good work as well.I heard so many bad things about them, but I love their worship.
having read four articles from that website I have seen so many false statements made. I have never seen a single article that condemns Joel Osteen actually correctly quote what Osteen preaches. Every single pastor teaches something that is biblically incorrect. The speakers listed are no different. That does not automatically make them false teachers. Likewise with Joyce Meyer the only articles that I have read that condemn her as a false teacher are factually incorrect and make assumptions. If that site can't get basic simple information right then what hope can we have that the other claims are correct?Yes. Hillsong Church Watch

lol ..no google is a search tool with the ability to favor information search results ..if they wished to do so .. do they ? i know not .
but here among my fellow believers some may wish to give a simple outline reply to my question -: what is the apostolic reformation ?
Click on the link and read
Its far easier than trying to explain the convoluted nature of the new apostolic reformation movement
Or if you wish you can do as many christians do, stick your head back in the sand and ignore this monumental threat within mainstream Christianity
I'm a pagan so its neither here or nor there for me what happens to Christianity
