cd: > I disagree David-why seek Hinn for the healing > and not Christ.
They are not seeking Hinn instead of Christ. They are seeking Christ. God gives different gifts to different people. Some have gifts of healings. I have been to five of Kathryn Kuhlman's meetings, and I believe that she was a handmaiden of the Lord used in healing. I have never been to a Benny Hinn meeting, so I know nothing about him. I can tell you that I have been to a faith healing meeting before where I believed the man was a fraud. He had three television cameras on him and the Curtis Hixon auditorium in Tampa filled with people when I went up on the stage during his meeting and told him that he was not of God. If the Lord ever does lead me to a Benny Hinn meeting and I perceive him to be a fraud, you can expect to see me up on stage rebuking HIM, not standing out on the sidewalk rebuking the people going in. cd: > How about Kevin.

No. CD wrote: > I have a better idea -why not cut to the chase > and just rebuke Hinn instead of good men? If I ever meet the man and see works of his that deserve rebuke, and the Lord gives me the freedom to rebuke, I'm sure I will. Until then, I will not speak to that which I do not know about. I am aware of good reports coming from his ministry. You apparently rely on the medium of glorified gossip for your information. That is not wise. I assume that you have never met this man who you condemn and speak evil of. cd: > Because I believe they are being mislead > into sin David-strange fires. Do you KNOW this or do you simply strongly suspect this? Are you healing those who are coming, or are you simply robbing them of faith in Jesus Christ for healing? Cd wrote: > If you have seem no wrong in Kevin in those > extreme situations-what makes you think something > would be wrong with the Spirit leading him to Hinn to > preach? There are many factors that can cause someone to make a mistake in judgment. In any case, this would be best followed up by me talking with Kevin. My concern is only for the sick who seek healing. I care for the sick, and I do not think believers should ever do anything that hinders a person's faith. These Street Preachers did the same thing with one of their own, Willy, who had esophogeal cancer. He wanted to believe God for healing, and these doubting Street Preachers discouraged him and robbed his faith from him. Willy died. Shame on those Street Preachers who would not agree with him in prayer for his healing, but instead chose to rebuke him. Shame on those Street Preachers who doubt the God who heals. cd wrote: > Be wise and don't rebuke the brethren for > doing what the Spirit directs. Not one Street Preacher has ever told me that the SPIRIT directed them to protest a Benny Hinn service. Not one. cd: > Try it from my prospective David- I invite members on > this site who have spoken out on street preaching to go > to New Orleans and see first hand what we do-and the > next ting I know you are condemning the works of street > preachers. What position do you put me in doing so? > Having to defend? Only if you are sectarian. Street Preachers are not some elite club of super Christians. As a group, they are just like every other believer serving the Lord. Some are holy and perfect. Some struggle with sin. Some are profane. Some are reprobate and are going to be burning in the lake of fire. cd wrote: > Have you not noticed after all these years our "discussion" > become heated when I feel that the brethren need defended > or protected. Yes. As I told you years ago, you have not broken free of a religious spirit which divides into sects. The Baptists don't have it all right. The Wesleyans don't have it all right. The Mormons don't have it all right. The Presbyterians don't have it all right. The Street Preachers don't have it all right. No religious sect has it all right. The only one who is right is Jesus, and we should reprove, rebuke, and exhort one another until we are all found complete in Him. cd wrote: > How about teaching against Calvinism to warn > of danger-I had to defend against you until the > water got muddy?

How old are you anyway that you would not > remember this event from two years ago? I'm starting to think you might have had a mole in some paltalk meeting pretending to be me. I have never walked out on a discussion mad, slamming the door so-to-speak. I have no recollection speaking against the preaching at SLC. I have defended it many times here. I asked a question once of Ruben here about the underwear waving, and he answered it. I really have no idea what you are talking about, but your words here tell me that some of you Street Preachers have been engaging in gossip behind my back, speaking evil of me, and none of you have been man enough to tell me directly that you do not want me to come to SLC. It doesn't matter anyway, because I go where the Lord leads me to go, and if the Lord wants me there, I will be there whether you want me there or not. cd: > We also preach the gospel only to be attacked > by all to which one should expect-but to be attacked > by other street preachers is hard to take David-you > are wrong to do so and your church teaching have lead > you into this area-the same as Debbies has done to her- > no difference- and she probably won't listen either. > In my opinion you are as mistaken as they are. I have not attacked anyone. You are the one making a schism over this issue. I do not believe that Christians should gather outside Benny Hinn meetings or Promise Keepers meetings warning people who are coming not to go inside. If you want to minister, fine, I have no problem with that, but if you do not have the gifts of healings to heal those coming to a Benny Hinn meeting, then you are out of your league. Look at it this way: If I know a man is preaching a false gospel and I warn others not to listen to his false gospel, then I had better be prepared to give the true gospel in its place. If I know a man to be teaching falsely, then I had better be prepared to give the true teaching if I am going to tell others he is a false teacher. In like manner, if I want to say that Benny Hinn is a fraud in ministering the gifts of healings, and I am going to his meeting to deter people from attending, then I had better be prepared to heal these people with the true gift of God. This is called being responsible. Now what "church teaching" are you talking about that has led me into the same error as Debbie?
