One gentleman by the name of "ANTHONYSOMETHING" on YA recently BADNAMED BENNY HINN without to understand the "Works of the HOLY SPIRIT:
This miracle that Benny Hinn did is not new...early Christians used their clothes to heal people as in the verse below...
Act 19:11-12 "And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even HANDKERCHIEF or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them"
This is not the ONLY instance, look at this one as well:
Matthew 9:20 "And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the FRINGE OF HIS GARMENT"
She got healed after she touched the fringe of the garment of Jesus...mind you she did not touch the skin of Jesus.
Let all tele-evangelists haters do their homework before they critisize!
Please send your comments!

Just to explain why ministerers are able to heal the sick by using their clothes and other things:
The bible tells us that Gifts of HEALING come through the Holy Spirit(1 Cor 12:9)...
Now when the Holy Spirit uses a man of God, He leaves POWER on what ever the man of God touched or came into contact with....It could be clothes, handkerchief and even in his body...
This is proved by in:
2Kings 13:20-21 "So Elisha died, and they buried him. Now bands of Moabites used to invade the land in the spring of the year."
"And as a man was being buried, behold, a marauding band was seen and the man was thrown into the grave of Elisha, and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet."
Though Elisha was dead, the POWER of the Holy Spirit left in his bones was intense enough to raise the DEAD!
Pls note that I did not say "the Holy Spirit", I said "the POWER of the Holy Spirit" for if it were the Holy Spirit, Elisha would arise himself!

The difference is that Paul the apostle was clearly gifted by the Holy Spirit with the ability to heal; Benny Hinn, however, misleads people and heals no one. He's also proven to be a false prophet, which is not surprising.
While I believe Christians can be used by the Holy Spirit to heal the sick, I do not believe this is the case with this man. Benny Hinn is a very bad man.

Benny Hinn should stop stealing people's money and being a false prophet.
I have listened to him on a couple of occassions and even have a tape around here somewhere. He has absolutely taught things from Holy Scripture with such blatant twisting to the meaning that there is no question in my mind he is one of the false teachers and false prophets that scripture warns us about.
He once said, and I have this on tape, that he was sick and tired of hearing about the streets of gold in heaven. "I don't need gold in heaven! I need it now!" and went on begging for people to send their money.
I am well acquainted with the use of sacramentals and the verses you cite where a piece of cloth was used as a sacramental to heal. Benny Hinn, nor his clothes, heal anyone.
May God have mercy on him and open the eyes of his followers.

Don't compare Benny Hinn to Jesus, Paul, and Elisha.

so many gullible believers, so little time
Ruth Heflin, Jimmy Baker, Saul of the Bible, snake oil salesmen, the list never end
suckers born every day, TBN is what woke me up. my parents also paid thousands to these cons...Diane Sawyers did a great report in 92 about these criminals
bottom line they worship money not god...thier teachings all made up to what people want to hear that god is a genie and they rule god with prayer and quoting scripture
see Kenneth and Gloria Copeland for more.. but my hat's off to them for convincing so many to support thier elitist lifestyle, according to capital america they are the winners

Also, whether there is gift of prophecying and healing and things like this, will all be done away with. Those gifts died with the last apostles my dear. So, whatever Benny is doing is doing it through Satan whom sometimes turns himself into an angel of light.

Yes, but all those garments were touched by God Or Jesus. I don't see connection...Hinn is just a man... and his jacket has not touched God or Jesus...Thanks

Benny Hinn and many others will answer to God alone....
Many will say they did this or that in His name, and God will say to them
"AWAY FROM EVILDOERS< INEVER KNEW YOU"..
I hope I can see it!!
