bad news indeed if he is really coming.

oh well, i guess all the chrismatic churches will be attending his 'seminars'.

One of the largest charismatic church will be holding his seminar next yr at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

That is why i strongly urged...all of you who profess to be Christians...

NEVER NEVER NEVER base your faith in a pastor, no matter how popular or reknown he or she is......no matter how great signs and wonders accompany his or her ministry.....but rather on JESUS CHRIST YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD.

Those signs and wonders are meant to draw people to Christ and bring honor and glory to God. It is possible that evil men can still perform such miracles no because the Spirit that enables such is not good but that God fufils His promise that once given..the gift is irevocable. The person might be sincere and true in the beginning...but he may have led astray?

well...sure to be controversial

So i repeat once more!

NEVER NEVER NEVER base your faith in a pastor, no matter how popular or reknown he or she is......no matter how great signs and wonders accompany his or her ministry.....

but rather on JESUS CHRIST YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD.

i'm more familiar with benny hill Mr. Green

but i've seen books by benny hinn (book cover only). i didn't know he's such controversy.

anyway, isaiah 28:16 says: "Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily."

The above link contains good information on the controversy of Benny Hinn. I am guessing the churches supporting this seminar won't be the main stream denominations but the city style churches or the newly creative churches???

You mean Benny Hinn is a false prophet? I've read his book 'Good Morning Holy Spirit' - I was encouraged and blessed.

Chin Eng, I bet you meant New Creation and City Harvest church.

Well, don't assume. Let's take a neutral stand here and observe first.

Very Happy Good that you felt blessed by his book. No issue with me. However there are many detractors from various rather conservative church organisations.

I have heard enough from supposedly Charismatic speakers making dubious claims to make me suspicious of them. Unfortunately most of these speakers eventually will lead to the Benny Hinn school of theology. One speaker I heard equated having phobia as being bound by an evil spirit. Another claim made was that unmarried couples who look like each other is likely to have commited sexual sin. Very scary claims.....

You are right, take a neutral stand. You might even read up my earlier link and spend some time researching the claims made by this link to see if there is any truth in them. For all you know the claims were false, but what if they were true?

New Creation? City Harvest? Personally, too many question marks for me.....
