Thursday, November 11, 2004 Benny Hinn? Spitting??Michele, you wrote:Some of our close friends (connected through marriage) have become disciples of Benny Hinn. At the moment they keep spitting - as they believe that you have to rid yourselves of the sins of past generations as the sins get handed down over the years. These are people who had a Brethren Assembly background, and the wife's father was an Evangelist in India for many years. He would be spinning in his grave if he knew what has happened. The sad thing is that you just can't have a reasonable conversation with them, as they believe that we are lost and their way is the only way. It has rocked the whole family (the Indian side) with what has happened. Are you serious about Benny Hinn and spitting??? What on earth do these people believe that they have, that is essential for salvation, that all us other believers like yourself Michele, are lacking and thus "lost", unsaved? Sounds like legalism/works-based salvation to me. The type that Paul referred to as "a different gospel" - a distortion of the gospel of Christ (Gal.1:6-7) Are your friends typical of Benny Hinn followers (exclusivist, etc)? Just read a bit on Hinn, he sounds a whacko to me: Throughout his dissertations, Hinn avows that the Bible says what he says. But his ploy is the same as that of every false teacher, which is to pull a proof text out of context and apply it to a personal interpretation which is claimed to have been given by direct revelation from God. Where in Scripture is it found that some "spirit-man" distinct from us, comes into us? The Holy Spirit comes into us, but Hinn isn't speaking of the Holy Spirit, because he says this spirit-man was "created before the foundation of the world." # posted by geoff @ 2:59 pm 0 comments
