What is your impression of him?
"Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God. "
(2Th 2:3-4, Mat 24:15, & Dan 9:27)

Hinn is a self-serving criminal and extremist. Like most televangelists, he mistakes his own words for "God's".
“I'm a sample of Jesus. I'm a super being.”
“Where in the Bible does it say I have to drive a Honda?”
“The Bible warns us clearly that we must not attack men of God no matter how sinful they may have become or wicked in our eyes.”
“Do you know that every unbeliever is filled with a demon spirit?”
“I see rows of caskets lining up in front of this TV set... and I see actual loved ones picking up the hands of the dead and letting them touch the screen and people are getting raised.”
“God will not move unless I say it. Why? because He has made us coworkers with Him. He set things up that way.”
"When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature."
"I want to use Holy Ghost machine gun to kill Heresy Hunters."

The man from India . Has a clever way of working to bring in the moolah . By deceiving masses of people with excitability , and using their desire to have a miraculous phenomenon happen for all to see . 'look I've been healed !!!!!! see it's a miracle !!!! ' This is a very big big deception .How many of those people that go up on the stage are getting a personal saintly fix . 'Look at me I'm holy! I'm having something that you WANT to happen to you'. Those people are believing too much in their heads and giving whats in their wallet. Manipulative , con artist at work .

Benny has trouble telling the difference between his speculations and God;s leadings
too light on the disciple of God's word and too heavy on emotionalism
Big problem... too many people pay too much attention to him

I used to love when Hill's Angels were on his show. I like the old guy too that Benny used to slap in the head real fast. One of my favorite skits was Benny would have a fake arm in a sling and then he would reach around and grope some lady at the bus stop and she would slap the wrong guy.

Dear Kelly S: Benny Hinn has been in communion with the Holy Spirit and Jesus since he was five years old!
The miraculous healings are real - - -they always take place at the level of Mind which is responsible for illness and dis-ease. Benny is an extremely important vehicle for Jesus Whose Presence through Benny Hinn is the strongest I have ever witnessed. While Benny does get into Prophecies occasionally - and has not been totally correct on them - this is an area that is very difficult for any Anointed teacher. They would do best to not engage in it. However, they all seem to try their hand at it. He DOES channel information about his followers who are watching him on TV, are in the audience, and come up onto the stage - with remarkable accuracy.
As an anointed teacher myself about to enter, soon, into public ministry work, I too have made the error of trying to repeat what I thought the Holy Spirit and Jesus were trying to tell me. One time I was off. Another time I was very close to what actually later took place. In other words, I did not lose the respect of anyone - in that prediction. I have since been made aware, that what They speak to their teachers is best NOT repeated UNLESS they tell us to do that, directly, while in communion. We all make this mistake until we learn not to do it. Benny Hinn just goes with what he believes he heard. We ARE taught to do that with other types of topics - so we make the mistake of presenting certain things - as prophecy - that we were NOT instructed to.
After first seeing Benny Hinn several years ago, I went into deep communion and asked the Holy Spirit and Jesus, "Is this for real?" I could not believe my eyes. When this man closes his eyes and meditates in communion with Jesus and the Holy Spirit on stage, I can FEEL the power of his meditation through the TV. "Is this for real?" I asked, astounded. It was so powerful ! The clear and precise answer I received, was: "Yes. He belongs to me."
Feel free to not doubt him. He is also, as all teachers are, still in his own lessons while he teaches. This is because no one reaches perfection like Jesus did. Learning is life-long. He is carefully watched and worked with by Jesus and the Holy Spirit when he errors ! Give the teachers who help you move forward in your Journey the support they deserve. Benny never told you he was God ! Common on now. . .if you love Jesus, don't malign His teachers. He works so hard to produce them. Their errors are corrected . Do not worry.
Because of this question you have posed, you have not learned of Love or kindness, sufficiently. Correct this error at the level of Mind - where the error took place. You are my brother. You are everyone's brother. You are definitely loved. I assure you of this.

I don't know that he himself claims to be God, but that he gives off an impression of God that is way off-base. Televangelists have never been high in my book (most of them).

Funny you should ask.
I was just thinking about him in the past day. I noticed he seems to not be doing as much of the Healing as he once did. He seems to be doing more preaching/teaching. His healing services always had me in doubt. I believe in miracles, but he kept me wondering. He seemed to be toning-down the message somewhat to where it is coming across more real, not fake.

Your thesis of him is correct.
He is one of them.
He may even be him.
Talk about someone who is bent on getting the money.
He was asked to show his books and he said that would never happen.
He lives large.
There are many who follow him.
The zooming across the stage is impressive, is it not?
All the people in the audience fixed and focused on him.
A terrible power that.
