Benny Hinn is one of the largest jokes and actors that ever entered a stage anywhere. He only takes the people to heal he has rehearsed with. He will not take people that are sick. Just try to get to his stage in a wheelchair if you are really handicapped. I have a friend that tried. He was told that everyone had already been accepted for the night and others came running to the stage later and was accepted. It is an outrage. An actor using this to make his living and a lucrative one at that.

I have heard of Pastor Benny Hinn, and have gotten alot from the few messages that he preached. Others would judge him and say this and that... I belong to a different ministry and don't necessarily follow his teachings as I feel God has placed me in MY particular ministry for a reason. The way I see one should approach church leaders, is encapsulated in 1 Thess. 5:12-13 ~ "And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you , and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them highly in love for their works sake. And be at peace among yourselves".
I do not think that if I was to judge the man, and think so highly of myself as to think I know Benny Hinn's calling and relationship with the Lord ~ that I would be fulfilling that scripture and I would not be benefiting myself, Benny Hinn, or other believers.
I certainly don't think judging him will help unbelievers to have faith and come to Christ.
I will leave this question with this statement...
I have seen and heard him, I appreciate his work for God but I do not follow his teachings.
Thanx guys, God bless.

False prophet. Just check the things he said in the 90's that would happen, and none of them happened.
Then he was just Benny Hinn. Now he's "pastor" Benny Hinn. Beware of those that go around with the "pastor" on the front, as if that's their first name.

We, who call ourselves Christians. should be careful what we say about others (no matter our opinions or what feeling we have in our spirits). The Bible warns us against that and yes the Bible warns us about false prophets too. My personal feelings of Benny Hinn: I don't feel comfortable with his way of doing things but have a close friend who has been to one of his healing services and felt it was real.... Who are we to judge?

I have heard and seen Pastor Benny Hinn. To say he is or not true, fake or a non-Christian would be "Judging!" That is one thing that I know the Bible does say "Do not judge one another!"
My pastor went to one of his conventions. And my pastor will tell you that he was healed. He had intestinal cancer and was getting ready to put a colostomy on him but Thank God for Jesus' healing!!
Now did Benny Hinn heal him? No, I don't think that. But I think God used him for the healing. Our Lord and Savior does amazing things and especially when you get thousands of Christians (the believing) all together in one place. The Bible says something like "two or more together with their heart/minds in the same train of thought (so to speak) that he is THERE TOO!
But this is "my" opinion just like all of yours. But we shouldn't judge by saying "he is fake!" -- We don't know, that is between HIM and GOD!

Yes, have heard & seen this man, and I do NOT advocate his teachings. I agree with C.J. he is a false prophet. Check a little more into this mans' background. Be careful that you are not decieved!
See..Christianity in Crisis by Hank Haanagraph
or http://www.equip.org
There is MUCH information about this man that is leading MANY people astray. Please LOOK before you "leap"! God does not want us to follow "blindly"!
May the Lord Jesus Christ truly open your eyes & help you to discern the truth!
Your friend, in Christ

A false prophet, a crook and a charlatan. The bible warns about leaders like him. They can be very dangerous and they can lead many to perdition. Unfortunately we live in an era when people refuse to read the bible, and they rely on these leaders to 'interpret' the bible for them. We need to return to the bible truths, and only then will we be able to distinguish between a true leader and a charlatan.
