AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit [speaking through a self-proclaimed prophet]; instead test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world. |
Bible Question: Is it Biblical to throw the anointing of the Holy Spirit around like Mr Benny Hinn does at the crusades?? (To me it looks like a side show and I do not feel it glorifies God in any way) |
Bible Answer: "Beloved, do not believe every spirt, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." I've seen Benny Hinn in action a couple of times and a few others of his stripe on occasion. I receive more nourishment from eating a hamburger. Ever read "Elmer Gantry"? Biblical? You'll have to make that decision for yourself, I'm afraid. I've long since made mine. |
