The Highway Forums General Discussion ExCharisma Benny Hinns Nephew

I just watched a video of an interview of Benny Hinn's nephew and how God brought him out of the prosperity Gospel.
I thought it was appropriate to post it here.

I always enjoyed when EV Hill would be on TV saying that many of the people from Fred price health and wealth church would come over to his food kitchens and clothing center, so guess on leadership really prospers!

Sorry, I have heard of Fred Price, but have no idea what you are talking about.

TV Hill was a Black Baptist preacher, and was amusing to me that the health and wealth church of Fred price seemed to have just as many needy people as the Baptist church did!

I heard further information concerning Benny Hinn's nephew. I was told that he is a Reformed Christian who actively speaks out against the prosperity gospel that he grew up with. I find it quite odd, I have not been hearing more about this issue.

Yes I just came across Benny Hinn's nephew within the last couple of days. I agree I would think this issue would be getting much more coverage(at least in Reformed circles)

Dutch, yes I am truly amazed that he is not getting more coverage in Reformed circles.

As I was watching the link that I provided, I thought of my own journey out of the Word of Faith Movement. I went from a Pentecostal Church that slowly turned into a Word of Faith Church, out of that Church into a big Pentecostal Church, that in many respect was like a big Arminian Baptist Church. Then into a Baptist Church that was experimenting with the Charismatic gifts but was careful (at that time) concerning where they went with it. That Church now in many respects is as bad as the Word of Faith Movement (see http://eyesandwingsconferences.com/eyes-wings-kelowna-15th-anniversary-let-the-eagles-gather/). Then into a Baptist Church with a good Calvinist Baptist statement of faith, but didn't necessarily follow it. Since that time, I have attended Churches that were very much like that Church. The Church I now attend is the first Church that actually insists on Reformed Baptist theology and expositional preaching.
I can tell you from personal experience that embracing Reformed theology is costly; especially when many in your family are still in the Charismatic movement. I can only imagine what Benny Hinn's nephew is going through.

Yes Tom better to stand alone with the truth than with a multitude in error. I grew up in the Roman Church and I am really for the most part the only one in my extended family that came out of the Roman Antichrist. I have one cousin that came out into a Fundamentalist Baptist Church that has now dropped Baptist from their name .All those who live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. I praise God that you have found a sound biblical congregation to worship with.
