Bible Note: Dear ngkh, In answer to your question of who's right and who's wrong, I think it a matter of discernment. We need to be careful (discerning) not so much about WHO is speaking as to WHAT they are saying! Is it Biblical? Personally, I don't hold either Hagin or Prince in high esteem because of their teaching (2 Tim. 4:2). I'm not calling them bad men, but their teaching is more derived from existentialism and mysticism than scripture! This is called discernment. It certainly matters who we listen to, i.e. are feed from! Might I ask why you "feed" upon these men? We need to hold Christ as preeminent, not merely prominent. Many of these "teachers" do not preach Christ and Him crucified, but profer a man-centered message that appeals to the flesh. Agree or not, our source of TRUTH is first and foremost the Bible, not men. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
