Yet it shouldn’t surprise us that another of these false apostles was present at Bethel recently. January 15, 2017, the popular Word of Faith charlatan, Benny Hinn, joined Bethel for the Sunday evening service. Bill Johnson posted on Facebook,
As Church Watch reports:
…and a notorious con artist he is. It is very common for Word of Faith preachers to elevate themselves above the moral constraints of their laypeople. Many hide behind their status to justify their adulterous relationships. Benny Hinn was sued by a publisher of one of his books for $250,000 because of an admitted “inappropriate relationship” with another Word of Faith false teacher, Paula White.
Benny Hinn is a false prophet. The Bible defines a false prophet as someone who prophesies falsely. This sounds simple enough, but certain apologists for Montanism, like Michael Brown, have redefined the biblical use of the phrase to mean something completely different–namely, that one can prophesy falsely, but that doesn’t necessarily make him a false prophet. But here’s what the bible says:
…when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him. –Deuteronomy 18:22
Now, consider the “prophecies” of Benny Hinn. On January 1, 1990, Hinn prophesies falsely even claiming the Holy Spirit told him this,
The Spirit tells me – Fidel Castro will die – in the 90s. Oooh my! Some will try to kill him and they will not succeed. But there will come a change in his physical health, and he will not stay in power, and Cuba will be visited of God.
This did not come to pass. Benny Hinn spoke presumptuously. He also prophesied falsely, claiming the Lord told him,
This also did not come to pass. Benny Hinn spoke presumptuously. (For more on Hinn’s false prophecies, see here.)
Benny Hinn has defrauded people for millions of dollars by luring people in with fake healings, false prophecies and promises of fortune through his false teachings. Bill Johnson and Bethel church clearly and unashamedly align themselves with this movement and have no problem exposing their followers to this fraud. Churches who continue to support this movement by purchasing music and paying royalties should be obliged to consider breaking all ties with them. Bethel Church and Benny Hinn are spiritual fornicators that feed poison to their followers. They have the appearance of godliness but deny its power (2 Tim 3:5). They target the young and undiscerning youth and through these tactics, they are defrauding millions.
