I have especially enjoyed tmckinney's response! This kept the matter in the fore & fuelled us all with a quote directly from the ‘horses mouth'!
I have attended one of Hinn’s meetings & also one of Rodney Howard Brown's in that.
I come from a very flaky start in my pilgrimage heavenward & so have often questioned & re-questioned my self in this whole matter as to if I'm just being reactionary & so a 'hectic reformed dude' now or if I'm truly convinced as to Hinn's, Copeland's, Hagen’s, & the rest of their companions' spirituality or rather lack thereof.
I have come to be convinced as to their lack of the truth at all on the following grounds:
Besides the horror stories & the radically stupid statements on the 'Trinity' etc. (if you will forgive me saying 'besides' this, this is no little matter!) The ‘gospel’ message they preach, at least as far as I have heard personally, is almost identical to yours & mine!
Let me explain. They preach man's need of salvation & that by the grace of God alone in Christ. They preach 'repent or perish'! They say, unashamedly so, that Christ is the only way to the Father...to bad Joel Osteen, Clark Pinnock, Billy Graeme etc. etc. They preach heaven & hell. Their 'Ladder' is almost identical to ours! The great difference is in this...they hold it up to a different building! We are offering a 'red BMW' (if you'll forgive) they are offering a 'blue Mercedes'! We both say the way to receive what we offer is by such & such, but the great difference is in the destination!
This is why all their other trash oozes to the surface. They have not the Spirit of the Living God within their souls!
They are leading people, with 'Jesus words' to Satan’s (coven) Church!
This I’m sure of!
God bless

PS: Let's weep for these wild & foolish men & pray for the Lord to save them & grant them repentance & faith! Let us, of all people, if we are reformed at all, remember that they can do no other than that which is native to themselves. Let us further never speak lightly about God's terrible hell ever again!
