"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies... And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not." -2nd Peter 1,3
The Word of God explicitly WARNS us that in the latter times, false prophets would arise in significant numbers... "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many" (Matthew 24:11). 1st Timothy 4:1,2 state, "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron." There is NO bigger group of LIARS today than the Charismatic crowd. From The 700 Club to Benny Hinn, they are all a bunch of lying hypocrites!
The Charismatic Movement is extensive, being compromised of hundreds of varying denominations, including Pentecostal, and Assemblies of God Churches.
ABOVE: The Charismatic practices of Holy Laughter and Being Slain in the spirit are demonic. No such foolishness is taught in the Word of God. Rather, we read in 1st Corinthians 14:40... "Let all things be done decently and in order." There is nothing "decent" about falling on the floor during a church service and laughing uncontrollably like an idiot.
Junior McCormack
Snake and fire handler, Junior McCormack, A false prophet!
Some preachers have greatly misunderstood the Bible, when Mark 16:18 states... "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." These were sign gifts given ONLY to the Apostles. This is clearly evidenced by the FACT that Paul couldn't heal his friend Timothy (1st Timothy 5:23), nor could he heal Trophimus (2nd Timothy 4:20). It is also further evidenced by the FACT that not one preacher alive today can empty out the local hospital of sick people. We know from James 5:15 that God DOES still heal the sick in response to prayers of faith, but no one has a gift of healing today. For an excellent in-depth Biblical exegesis on this topic, please read FACE TO FACE WITH TONGUES by Pastor Max D. Younce.
Benny Hinn
False prophet, Benny Hinn!
Benny Hinn is an ecumenical nightmare! Whereas Billy Graham has yoked apostate Protestants once again with Rome; Benny Hinn has yoked the Charismatic Movement with the demonic Catholic Church. Here's proof that Benny Hinn is a Catholic. Hinn proudly stated, "My upbringing, of course, was Catholic in that I attended the Catholic school in Jaffa, Israel. And so my mentality basically is a Catholic mentality. When I was born again, I was Catholic in my ways. I was very Catholic in my ideas, in my behavior." (Christianity Today, Sept. 3, 1991.)
Also, please read The Hidden Heresies of Benny Hinn.
This looks like something from The Outer Limits...
I
generally don't care much for religious programs. However, knowing that
millions of people are attracted to such programs, I find myself compelled to
see exactly what people are being dished out by these so-called "Christians."
I've been watching The 700 Club lately, analyzing it, and I see Satan
at work. I see them as borderline psychics, who exploit Christianity to
make money and con people. On the show, Gordon Robertson and Terry
Meeuwsen regularly join hands in a prayer segment, which is then followed by a
psychic type reading, where they specify details of who is being healed in TV
land. It's creepy! Are The 700 Club hosts, Pat Robertson,
Gordon Robertson and Terry Meeuwsen, psychics? On today's show, Gordon
and Terry prayed while holding hands, and then claimed that the following
healings had taken place as a result of their prayers on TV ...
