Benny
Hinn's Duplicity in Christianity Today, Oct. 5, 1992
Benny Hinn lies about heretical statements he made, as well as his testimony.
He is credited as being a mentor for John Arnott of the Toronto Airport
Christian Fellowship. "Television preacher Benny Hinn, whose sales in
Christian bookstores in the last year-and-a-half have exceeded those of
James Dobson and Charles Swindoll combined, told CT last September that
he would submit to the counsel and constructive criticism of others (Christianity
Today, Oct. 28, 1991, p. 44). But Hinn's rhetoric since then has raised
questions in some people's minds about his sincerity. For instance: "Now
I'm pointing my finger with the mighty power of God on me. ...You hear
this. There are men and women in Southern California attacking me. I will
tell you under the anointing now, you'll reap it in your children. You'll
never win. ...And you children will suffer. You're attacking me on the
radio every night; you'll pay, and your children will. Hear this from the
lips of God's servant. You are in danger. Repent, or God Almighty will
move his hand. ..." That is what Hinn told an audience on August 7 at Melodyland
Christian Center in Southern California."
(2) Beware
Of Charismatic Leader Benny Hinn in Dave Hunt's CIB
Bulletin, Feb. 1992
Benny Hinn visits Kathryn Kuhlman's and Aimee
McPherson's graves for the "annointing", and other wacky things. "The
secret to Hinn's power is his peculiar anointing, which he connects with
Kathryn Kuhlman and Aimee McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Gospel Church.
He first felt the "full power of the Holy Spirit" on him at a Kuhlman healing
service in 1973-- and her mantle has presumably fallen upon Hinn. He conducts
his meetings almost exactly like hers -- though it takes Hinn much longer
to get his audience into the expectant mood that seems to generate psychosomatic
"miracles." In an April 7, 1991 sermon, Hinn revealed that he periodically
visits Kuhlman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain
access to it. He also visits Aimee's grave, where he says: "I felt a terrific
anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God
... `Dear God,' I said, `I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing
has lingered over Aimee's body." Here's another
version.
(3) Benny
Hinn - His Teachings Biblical Discernment Ministries, 1992
"Hinn claims to actually be a channel for God-that God enters him
and takes over his mind and tongue to the point where he is unaware of
what he has said. After his sermon on December 31, 1989, at Orlando Christian
Center, during which he gave several future prophecies, Hinn expressed
that he was drunk-presumably on the Holy Spirit-and asked someone to tell
him what he had just said. In another statement, Hinn asserts that though
we are not Almighty God Himself, nevertheless, we are now divine (12/1/90
TBN)."
(4) One Pastor's
Experience And Response by JDS, 1995
"After attending a Hinn meeting in New York, a pastor wrote the
following to our Gen. Superintendent, Rev. Thomas Trask, Gen. Sup't., AOG."
These
types of letters may have resulted in Hinn "resigning" from AOG.
(5) Benny Hinn Controversies
Continue After Resignation The Inkhorn Vol. 8 No. 1, 1997
"As we told you briefly in the last issue of The Inkhorn, Benny
Hinn resigned his credential with the Assemblies of God. His resignation
was accepted in late October (1996). Hinn has indicated to district officials
in Florida that he was pressured to resign by officials at the denominational
headquarters in Springfield. The Springfield officials have denied this,
but then again they denied that Benny Hinn would be anything but a blessing
to the movement." Hinn's "resignation" may also be the impetus behind
his recent condemnation of the manifestations at Brownsville AOG.
(6) Televangelist
Benny Hinn Has Publicly Renounced Faith Theology by Ron Rhodes
and Paul Carden, 1993
Here is a previous example of Benny Hinn recanting things he was preaching
and doing, only to subsequently go back to doing and saying those same
things. Can we trust what Hinn has now said about "preaching the gospel
only" and "manifestations" at Brownsville being of the devil? If you believe
that, you'd better read this article where he recanted and -- and then
remember all the times since 1993 that you saw him do and say the same
heretical things he has always said.
(7) E-Mail Comment
On Benny Hinn's Recent Remarks by Name Withheld, 1997
An e-mail that is a thoughtful commentary that brings up some deep
issues regarding Benny
Hinn's new view of himself as an orthodox Christian, who is now against
manifestations at Brownsville AOG and is for preaching the full gospel
message.
(8) Benny Hinn
And Necromancy (Talking to the Dead) by Joseph R. Chambers, 1997
Benny Hinn is an admitted necromancer. Judge for yourself, by
Hinn's own account of when the "anointing" on his ministry "doubled" whether
or not this "anointing" is from the Holy Spirit or from contact with evil
spirits posing as dead people like Elijah and Kathryn Kuhlman. The
Bible states clearly that necromancy, talking to the dead (actually evil
spirits), is an abomination to God: Duet 18:10-12
"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his
daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer
of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with
familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these
things are an abomination unto the LORD ..." Saul was judged
by God for trying to bring up the spirit of Samuel, the only time in history
that God permitted this for his own purposes. Read this entire account
from the lips of Benny Hinn. There are only three possibilities.
Either he actually had these experiences, which is impossible according
to Scripture; or he made them up out of his own imagination, in which case
he is a liar and need to repent; or these were actual demonic encounters.
Even if this account is a mixture of imagination and demonization, ALL
CHRISTIANS SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM THE COUNTERFEIT ANOINTING OF BENNY HINN,
and the rest of the Third Wave.
(9) Kathryn Kuhlman
- From "Occult ABC" by Kurt Koch, 1976
Here is a chapter from the famous book "Occult ABC" by Kurt Koch. It
is significant that Koch felt he should include Kathryn Kuhlman in this
book. This is the woman that Benny Hinn received his "anointing" from and
whose grave he visits to receive more "anointing" on occasion. She is the
same woman who was a mentor for John Arnott at the Toronto Airport Christian
Fellowship, where the Toronto "Blessing" subsequently began. Note the striking
similarities between what is going on in the "counterfeit" revival movement
today and Kuhlman's meetings. This is one of the bad seeds that started
this whole mess to begin with. Would that more research were being done
into the fantastic claims of "healings" today. Many of Benny Hinn's "miracles"
have been debunked already. Yet adherants to this Third Wave movement continue
to tell and retell completely unsubstantiated and subjective stories, because
the "end justifies the means". We must continue to expose the false miracles,
teaching and prophesy in this movement for what they are, while reaching
out to the people who have been fooled by these Christian sorcerers with
prayer and with arms of love. "When we recognize our own guilt, the
desire to cast stones goes away. Nevertheless, we are not spared the necessary
duty of acting as signposts to the Church of Christ, even when this means
great heartache."
(10) A Foundation
Of Sand by Perry Pellegrini, 1991
Here is one example from the past where Benny Hinn admitted heretical
teaching, yet did not really follow through on making a public apology
for something that was taught in public. This is a pattern with Hinn. He
continues to apologize for some of his many heretical statements and actions,
yet does not go back to teaching sound doctrine but rather continues teaching,
preaching and evidencing further heresy. "It is apparent that Mr. Hinn
is not being completely honest. The fact that he has admitted his errors
is admirable, but means nothing if his words cannot be trusted."
(11) The Battle
of the Hinnites by Deception In The Church, 1998
"The man of iniquity is about to be revealed. False teachers like
Benny Hinn are merely setting the stage for the final apostasy that is
coming. All the world's religions will join together in the "anointing"
that is not of the Holy Spirit, and have one big millennium party.
The sad thing is that, over the shoulder of the Third Wave, even while
they are fiddling their lives away, the rest of the world will be crashing
and burning in sin and doomed to ultimate damnation."
(12) Benny
Hinn: His Golden Egg by E.L. Bynum, 1998
"Benny Hinn made the following statement during an appearance of
CNN's ‘Larry King Live' program,
‘God did not have to send His Son, but He did because He uses men'.
It is Hinn's contention that Christians are ‘little
Messiah's' and ‘little gods'. He has even gone so far as to state,
in reference to himself, ‘I face devils as the Son of God.'"
(13) Benny Hinn
by Watchman Fellowship, Inc., 1992
"To date, Mr. Hinn is continuing with the same horrible faith teaching,
false prophecy, and gross theological error. Noted charismatic theologian
J. Rodman Williams repeats his warning that "Hinn is prone to exaggeration
and extremism...[his[ exegesis is frequently unsound and unbiblical", and
after attending some of Hinn's services writes that in those meetings "psychological
techniques are mixed in with the spiritual."
(14) Benny Hinn's
Move Into Necromancy by G. Richard Fisher with M. Kurt Goedelman,
1997
"Hinn’s move in the direction of the occult should not be a surprise.
The modern-day Pentecostal movement, which began in 1906, has muddled beginnings
and a prior history of involvement in spiritism. Azusa Street drew in spiritualists
and mediums and contemporaries of that day were reporting seances, trances
and other outlandish and occultic behavior. Once the door of unrestrained
subjective mysticism is opened, Satan and the flesh can have a field day.
God’s Word is our only protection against the demonic as well as ourselves.

article.
(15) A History
Lesson For Benny Hinn by G R F, Quarterly Journal, October-December
1992
"PFO [Personal Freedom Outreach] continues to investigate preacher
Benny Hinn's claim that his father once was mayor of Jaffa, Israel (The
Quarterly Journal, July-September 1992, pp. 1, 10-14). That investigation
has revealed that for a number of political and historical reasons, Costandi
Hinn, a Jaffa-born Arab, could not have been mayor of an almost totally
Jewish city. Jaffa technically did not exist after 1948 because it was
merged with all-Jewish Tel Aviv forming one municipality called Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
There was no city of Jaffa when Benny Hinn was born." You may get

Hinn Tries To Keep Ex-Aide Quiet by Henry Pierson Curtis, The Orlando
Sentinel, Dec 9 1998
If this isn't a perfect picture of where the love of money leads, I
don't know what is. The Bible says that Balaam the sorcerer "ran
greedily" for profit. Necromancer Benny Hinn seems to be having the
same problems. Other articles showing problems in and around the
Hinn organization by the Orlando Sentinal include "Nightmare Of Heroin
Hits Hinn Ministry", and "Hinn's Foes To Settle Suit With Sheriff In Orange".
(These stories are no longer online and are now on archive at the Orlando
Sential. You can find them by searching
the archives. If anyone has a copy of the complete stories online,

(23) Shocking
Facts About Benny Hinn by Christian Witness Ministries, 1998
"Benny Hinn is a Roman Catholic mystic, who is taking the Pentecostal
and Charismatic Church down the ecumenical road towards Rome."
(24) Unmasked
... Benny Hinn by Christian Witness Ministries, 1998
"Frequently when presenting the following and similar facts about
Benny Hinn we encounter the statement: "Yes but Benny Hinn has repented
and so it's wrong to dig up the past." However the Bible position regarding
serious sin (heresy is a serious sin) is that it carries consequences.
Furthermore the Bible clearly teaches that true repentance results in a
change of behaviour. We publish this article with a deep sense of compassion
and concern, especially for the large numbers of Christians who are confused
or deceived but also for Mr Hinn himself and for those who endorse, sponsor
or promote his meetings. Those who deceive are frequently deceived themselves.
We must look at the facts."
(25) Benny Hinn
- Touch, Topple, Tilt! by Let Us Reason Ministries, 1998
"Benny Hinn and this kind of supernatural phenomena could not exist
in a biblically-centered atmosphere. His errors would be immediately exposed
in discerning, Bible-believing congregations, submitted to and operating
within the Word of truth. There is no room for Holy Ghost theatrics. The
further removed from God’s revelation people get, the more they will succumb
to spiritual leaders who claim powers from on high, while taking the church
away from true worship. When people are steered by euphoric feelings, in
awe of the stage and the performers charisma, the heart drifts far from
God."
(26) Benny
Hinn - Truth Or Consequences by Let Us Reason Ministries, 1999
"I admonish you to exercise caution and discernment. See whether
Mr. Hinn teaches Bible truth. Then you can watch over your soul and you
can rightly divide the Word of truth in showing yourself a workman approved
of God. Only then can you protect yourself and others from becoming victims
and experiencing the consequences of Hinn’s Fables. "
(27) Lourdes
And Fatima Endorsed By Hinn by G. Richard Fisher, 1998

- A "New" Dark "Anointing" by Sandy Simpson

Benny Hinn’s “Fire” Anointing Really Just The Emperor’s New Clothes?
by M. Kurt Goedelman, 1999

Like Baskin-Robbins has flavors of ice cream, Hinn has anointings. There’s
one for almost everyone’s taste."
(31) The
Next Level Of The "Anointing" According To Benny Hinn by
Mike Oppenheimer, 1999
"One does not have to wait very long for new developments to happen
when they are "under the anointing". Hinn has spoken of different
levels to the anointing in the past. As Philip Powell has succinctly put
it, Hinn has taken it to "the next Level." In this new move he has taken
the next elevator down."

Secretary Of AoG In Australia
Makes Public Statement About Benny Hinn
by former General Secretary of AoG in Australia, Philip L. Powell,
10/18/99
"I have little hope that he (Hinn) will ever be recovered though
I trust he will and would rejoice if that were to happen. He must withdraw
from public ministry for such to be effective in terms of Biblical requirement.
He should be rebuked publicly that others may fear, as should all those
who promoted him and his deceptions. Benny Hinn is clearly a false prophet.
He predicted that revival would come to New Zealand by the beginning of
1999. It didn't. There is no revival in New Zealand."

Hinn's Romance With Necromancy, Part 2

for two days in a row. ... He was about six feet two. Old man. Had a …Glistening
white beard. ... Eyes - crystal blue. He had on a white garment ... On
his head was a like a shawl - like a - like a like a covering… every part
of him glistened like crystal. ... Now, I know you may think I've lost
my mind, but the Lord said, "Elijah, the prophet." ... You know, when that
happened? That happened days before the anointing on my life doubled."

Hinn - Going Lower! by Philip L. Powell, 1999
"According to an eye witness account: "In the recent Denver crusade
Hinn became a different person under the influence of the "anointing" unlike
anything seen before. So much so, that his voice changed to a "growl".
He was telling the people to raise their hands and exalt the master Jesus.
It was obvious that he was not talking about the Jesus of the Bible. He
also cursed all, who would raise their hands against his ministry in word
or deed."

Hinn - Catholic Mystic by Rev. Joseph Chambers, Paw Creek Ministries,
2000
"The world of Benny Hinn is a strange, confusing world. He
fits perfectly into the category of a Charismatic Catholic priest, dispensing
theological bondage and mystical superstition."
(44) The Cult
Of Benny Hinn by Rev. Joseph Chambers, Paw Creek Ministries, 2000
"Benny Hinn is certainly a trendsetter in the New Wave movement.
Before we learn about some of his teachings, lets remember the importance
of truth. The Bible states, "For truth is fallen in the street..."
(Isaiah 59:14b). Probably, no Biblical statement could more accurately
describe our present religious world. Truth has become relative.
It means different things to different people, even within the ranks of
what we call Biblical Christianity. I don't mean differences in non-essentials,
but almost every fundamental doctrine is now under siege as preachers scramble
the Holy Words. One thing to remember -- you cannot sanctify false
doctrines by the multiple use of Jesus' name or by the presence of miracles."
(45) Benny
Hinn - Possessed By Devils? by Rev. Joseph Chambers, Paw Creek
Ministries, 2000
"Hear Benny Hinn, in a guttural voice, say "I place a curse on every
man and woman that will stretch his hand against this anointing."
This was obviously an evil spirit. Many more parallels are
drawn between the kingdom of satan and Benny Hinn's ministry. See
necromancy, etc. on this video."

that man, even if he turns away from God, and serves the devil] Don't touch
him. You are In deep, serious danger.” He then changed his mind and said,

by an inch that is the uncanny element in everything.”Faith healer Benny
Hinn has been swerving from truth and accuracy for years and continues
to do so not by inches but by miles. It is nothing short of amazing that
no matter what Hinn says, teaches or practices — even if it is outrageously
unbiblical and outlandish — his adoring fans blindly follow and attack
anyone who points out his heresies and untruths."

Examination and Critique of Benny Hinn's "Good Morning, Holy Spirit"by
Richard J. Vincent , TheoCentric, 11/27/97
"The error in this book far outweighs the truth that is sprinkled
throughout it. To summarize, though it is true that the Holy Spirit is
fully God and is also a Person with whom we can have communion with, it
is very much in error and downright heretical to teach that (1) the Holy
Spirit and God the Father have their own distinct bodies; (2) the Holy
Spirit is the most personable and approachable Person of the Godhead; and
(3) Jesus is merely an anointed man that would have failed without the
aid and assistance of the Holy Spirit. All three errors strike at the foundation
of Christian doctrine--the Nature and Being of God. Therefore, this book
cannot be recommended in good conscience."

After a few months, he stopped talking about the project. His tax-exempt

Healing Or Mesmerism by Immanuel Ministries
You believe that evangelist Benny Hinn is
anointed of God? In reality, he uses mesmerism! That's a shock for some
of you, I know, but I'll prove it to you. This technique was formulated
by Franz Anton Mesmer, a physician and healer who achieved remarkable cures
comparable to cases presented in today's Miracle Crusades, although - remember
this - Mesmer never used God's name in his practice. This German physician
successfully developed a method to relieve the pain of his patients, believing
in an invisible, curative fluid pervading the universe that could influence
the human body. Some kind of an "anointing" if you will that acts on the
mind of the person. This was the foundation of hypnotism.

way, he’s hard to ignore. Benny Hinn — televangelist, faith healer, and
appointment viewing for millions of believers. His popularity and his wealth
are matched only by the devotion he’s shown by his followers, many of them
desperate for help. This is the text version of the television

Hinn's Response To Dateline NBC by Sandy Simpson, 1/11/03
There is no need to go into the history of Benny Hinn because he
has been around what seems like forever and has been investigated enough
times so that most people know quite a bit about him. An excellent
resource on the history of Benny Hinn is available from Personal Freedom
Outreach in a book called "The Confusing World Of Benny Hinn". Hinn
has been investigated by two major secular news shows, and by some Christian
news media as well. Most recently he was investigated by Dateline
NBC in a show that aired December 27, 2002. All of these shows showed
evidence that Benny Hinn has been scaming people for their money with false
healing claims that he cannot prove. He was asked on all these shows
to provide medical proof of the miracles he and his follower claim to be
experiencing, but to date not one shred of definitive evidence has been
provided by the ministry. Hinn did provide evidence, but when it
was investigated the claims turned out to be claims without medical justification.
Quite contrary to Hinn's claims, a number of people have died who Hinn
proclaimed healed. Read the entire transcript of Benny Hinn's refute
of the Dateline NBC program here.

of the New Wave movement. There are many trendsetters that appear to be
teaching a new way that they call a "paradigm shift."

Hinn - The Heretic by The Door Magazine, August 2003
Toufik Benedictus Hinn, known to his family
as "Tutu," didn't much like living in Palestine with an Arabic first name,
so early in life he became Benny. He was not particularly noted by his
classmates at College de Frere elementary school in Jaffa or, after the
family emigrated when Benny was 14, at Georges Vanier Secondary School
in Toronto. In his sermons and books, Hinn has portrayed his childhood
as that of a social outcast, handicapped by a severe stutter, who was nonetheless
a stellar student. But when G. Richard Fisher and M. Kurt Goedelman, two
journalists who write for Christian publications, looked into Hinn's youth,
they found that both claims were untrue: nobody remembered Hinn stuttering,
and he had dropped out of high school after the 11th grade. The reason
I use these particular examples – "white lies" that by themselves don't
really mean that much – is to indicate how twisted Hinn's mythmaking can
be. He invents things that reflect badly on him just as easily as he invents
things that reflect well on him. Psychologically he can't stand the unadorned
truth.

(94) Vinod K. Isaac of Jasmine Computers
Hosts A Pro "Benny Hinn" Web Site (The site belongs to his sister who
is not revealing her name!) by Sandy Simpson, 3/05
There is a web site on the Internet, and there are others, that
attempt to vindicate Benny Hinn's false prophecies, false teachings, necromancy
and other unbiblical things he is doing. Recently the author of this
site, the sister of Vinod K. Isaac, initiated an email exchange with me.
Vinod, her brother, owns a computer outfit in Chicago called "Jasmin Computers"
and is apparently hosting her web page on his computer site. Unlike
most Christian web sites, including ours, who are up front about who we
are, his sister has never revealed her name on her site and there is no
way to contact her other than an email form. It wasn't until she
wrote me, claiming to be Benny Hinn by signing her emails "BH" and using
his name as her email address at bennyhinn2@yahoo.com
that I made the connection between her and her web site. She accused me
in her emails of not giving the facts about Benny Hinn, in fact calling
me a liar and a deceiver. I cannot reprint her emails here because it is
a violation of ethics concerning private and protected by copyright law.
Those who wish to reprint private emails are duty bound by common copyright
laws to ask permission of the author to do so, which we do on our site.
In response to her invective and accusations, I sent her a number of links
to articles about Benny Hinn. Her subsequent responses showed that
she had not read the articles I sent her. I then began to attach
the full length articles to her emails, which had grown to a number of
emails per day, hoping she might accidentally see them. I gave her
Hinn's false prophecies. She just kept coming back with rhetoric
about how I didn't know what I was talking about. She indicated she
would not read the articles I sent. She finally told me she had decided
to put up a page trying to prove I was wrong with my name on it, stating
that I was a deceiver. So I believe it is time to bring this to public
attention. I do not want to throw any traffic her way because the
DITC site has thousands of hits per week. But I feel I do need to
address her ridiculous assertions and mishandling of Scripture to try to
defend a proven heretic and false prophet, Benny Hinn. Following is a refutation
of her "facts" about what I have on my site, and about Hinn point by point.
This is not rocket science, folks. What "BH2" has on this new web
page, which is an abbreviation of her email address and how we will refer
to her in the following, is quotes exactly from her site in Red.
My rebuttal is in Blue. So here goes ...

Research Service Issues A Challenge to the Officials and People of the
Fiji Islands by Bud Press, Director, Christian Research Service,
12/05
Therefore, Christian Research Service issues the following challenge
to the Fijian officials and people: Put Benny Hinn to the Biblical test
(1 Thessalonians 5:21; 1 John 4:1). As a suggestion, once Hinn's plane
lands in Fiji, Christian Research Service suggests that the Fijian officials
immediately whisk him and his entourage away to the nearest hospital. If
Hinn has the true, New Testament gift of healing, the bedridden and lame
will walk; the diseased will be healed; the weak will be made strong; amputees
will grow new limbs; children confined to wheelchairs with twisted bodies
will be made whole; the suffering will find peace; the incurable will be
miraculously cured; broken bodies will be mended; the blind will see; the
deaf will hear; the dead will be raised to life. But if he fails the Biblical
test, put him back on the plane!

Hinn in Kampala, Uganda - Was the 'crippled' man really healed?
by Bud Press, Director, Christian Research Service, June 12, 2007
The situation with Moses is both sad and tragic. It not only serves
as fuel for the skeptics and unbelievers to downplay Christianity, it serves
to drive the unsaved deeper into sin and further away from accepting Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Savior. Accordingly, a skeptic or unbeliever who
witnessed the encounter between Benny Hinn and Moses may say, Benny Hinn
proclaimed a "crippled" man healed, but the man continued to limp. If this
is what Christianity is all about, then I want no part of it. The fact
of the matter is that individuals like Benny Hinn have been around for
thousands of years. They do not represent true Christianity. They are,
as the Bible warns: savage wolves (Acts 20:27-31); distorters of the gospel
of Christ (Galatians 1:6-9); false brothers (Galatians 2:4-5); enemies
of the cross (Philippians 3:18-19); stumbling blocks to those searching
for truth (Matthew 18:7); false prophets (Matthew 24:11); false teachers
(2 Timothy 4:3-4); false healers (Matthew 7:21-23); and more.
