I do not believe they can. Many are called to Salvation but few are chosen to repersent him. I saw a man of God lie and shortely after he almost died and I saw another who did die after the anionting left him. I believe you are only anointed when you are in the will of God and doing what he has told you to do.

Everyone born of God is sealed of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is with the new born again Christiand & will fill the born again Christian.
God gives gifts. The Holy Spirit is One Spirit, but the gifts are different. So? The Holy spirit is the Spirit of Truth given to all Gods Saints. God has promised to never leave or forsake us. I don't know about losing the gifts? I have heard that God doesn't take gifts away. But I didn't speak in tongues for years, & during that time I did some things that the Holy Spirit wouldn't have done with me. But later when God healed me from a breakdown, the Holy Spirit flooded me & I praised God in tongues with hands straight up toward heaven. I can pray in spirit anytime I want to, mostly. Unless God wants me to be quiet.
It is impossible for those born of God to abide in sin (make it a comfortable habit) because of the Holy Seed within. So? The Holy Spirit convicts us through our new born spiritman. Where we confess our sin to Jesus, & He is faithful & just to forgive us our sin & cleanse us from all unrighteousness. But we must repent. And renew our mind in the Word of God by reading the Word & hearing & hearing the Word of God preached. Faith comes by hearing & hearing a Word about Christ / God.
Well Ananias & Saphirus, lied about their generosity. They lied to the Holy Spirit so died. So? Lieing to God or others can mean an early death. If God especially anoints someone to the ministy & the person lies to God's people, that person very well could go to heaven early without much reward.

Look at the story of Saul. He was anointed to be King, but he fell from grace and allowed Satan to take him over. He tried to kill David, a former friend, several times. David at one time had an opportunity to kill Saul and solve all his problems, but he only cut off part of his robe. Even so, David was grieved even for doing that, because he knew that Saul was "God's anointed".

Only if they lie to the enemy to save the life of another, like hiding Jews from the Nazis during WWII.

Unless you are annointed with the oil God describes to Moses in the OT you aren't really annointed anyway according to the Bible.

This "the anointing left him" stuff is unbiblical, unless you're under the law in the OT.
Everyone on TBN is a heretic, that should clear it up.

It's called repentence. No matter how hard we try we will lie, eventually, about something.
