Look how they behave on TV , they are red in the face shouting " In the name of Jesus"on everything! they always faint when they pray and act like they heal everyone. They really make Christianity look bad in general. They are greedy asking people to send money to pray for us!

It has been proven that these television people have a staff of actors that 'seem' to be healed, but in many cases the investigations following the acts have found dead people instead of healings.

I'm a Pentecostal Christian, and I ask things of God in the name of Jesus. And what I ask of God in the name of Jesus is really given to me. Really! I've even asked God for a healing for something in my body that had been bothering me for 2 or 3 years, I prayed that I would be healed in the name of Jesus, and I was healed instantly.

Satan has all ways to make Christianity look bad, even down to using people who say they are teaching you about Jesus. There are some who are just doing what Jesus asked them to do.
Teaching about Jesus is a very important thing in the life of a Christian. Telling others and hoping they will believe to is very important to us. We want no one to suffer in hell (which is a real place).
As for the money part, Jesus didn't ask for money when he preached and in my opinion money has become a too important part of Christianity.

Most of them seem to be all dramatic like that, but hey, it's TV.
There are some who don't. I've never seen Billy Graham act like that. There's a place for tv evangelism, but NOTHING beats going to and belong to a local church family. I hope TV evangelism hasn't taken the place of that for some people.

Except when afflicted by insanity, televangelists are performers. It's a job. A lucrative one that's perfect for meglomaniacs without consciences.
Great example:

I know you can't help but feel ashamed for them. People follow them around like the grateful dead.
