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: Now perhaps you do not KNOW? A few years ago, one of those investigative reporting groups investigated the Hinn Ministries. They found that his wife went into the audiance, before the program started, disguised as an attendee. She had a wireless microphone and spoke with the people. Benny would later get up and say, The Lord showed me that Betty has a sister that had cancer! After being EXPOSED FOR FALSE PROPHETS, the minsitry went into semi-seclusion. After about a year, they started up again! Some that heard, forgot about the Report! And now, he is back, with more of that False Doctrine! Unless the Doctrine comforms to the Word in Spirt and Letter, it is FALSE DOCTRINE! The Spirit comes according to 1Corinthians 12:13, in response to Romans 10:9-10 and in accord with Ephesians 1:12-14 and Ephesians 2:8-10! The spirit he uses is found in 2Corinthains 11:13-15. Thank you! |
