The good thing about False Teachers? They always identify themselves. But, one can only know the difference between right and wrong by knowing the difference between right and wrong (the bible). The bad thing about false teachers? They are very skilled at keeping up a false guise of Christianity, and very good at duping so called Christians.

About the Book
Lies My Pastor Told Me was born out of Cole Brown’s experience as a newly converted Christian in his early twenties. Having no prior Christian background he ended up in what he assumed was a healthy church culture. Little did he know, the evangelical church culture his friends invited him into was feeding him clichés that were not only unbiblical, but damaging. Lies My Pastor Told Me confronts 15 of these common church clichés with the gospel and shows how they rob Jesus of the glory he deserves and rob his people of the true good he has for them.

About the Author
Cole Brown is lead pastor of Emmaus Church, an Acts 29 church plant in urban Portland, Oregon where he lives with his wife and two children. He has a Bachelor of Science in religion and psychology from Liberty University and is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies at Western Seminary. When not writing he enjoys reading non-fiction, watching good film, and hearing good music of all genres. His first book, Lies My Pastor Told Me, was released as a free eBook in July of 2010.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE DEAD, THE DYING, THE WOUNDED

AND THOSE STILL LED ASTRAY

AND NEVER FORGET THEM

This video shows where a guy from the UK (Derren Brown -Miracles for Sale) took a regular guy off the streets, taught him how to do this deception and brought him right here to Texas and desperate people fell for it and merely thought they where healed until the fake faith healer told them the truth,, that he was just a scuba diving teacher who was taught to pull this deception off through hypnosis, manipulation and the power of suggestion to vulnerable and needy people.

THE WOF IS SERIOUSLY DEADLY and has killed more people than Jim Jones ever thought about (go here and look at Hobart Freemans entry http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/healthyself.html).

I know many who have lost loved ones that died because of this deception. PLEASE DON’T LET IT HAPPEN YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES!!!

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS VERY REAL FOLKS, HE IS ALIVE,, but these faith healers ARE NOT!!!

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM http://www.digitalspy.com/british-tv/interviews/a315672/derren-brown-derren-brown-miracles-for-sale.html

If you’re a fan of Derren Brown, you’ll be pleased to hear that he’s back with a new special on Monday! This time he’s exposing the murky world of faith healing, where pastors claim to be able to cure people of various ailments – in exchange for money. Derren recently chatted to reporters about the show and why spiritual healing is so dangerous, so read on to find out what he had to say!

How did you come to find out about spiritual healing?
“I grew up a Christian, and only came out of that round the time of university. I was not seeing a lot of it over here but what I did see a lot of was a much lower and harmless level where crowd hype is valued over any kind of personal experience, any depth of faith – I was going to quite a happy clappy church. Then you became aware of these healers that do exist. It always struck me as worrisome but you don’t really take it that seriously. I think coming out of Christianity altogether and just having a slightly clearer sense in my own mind of what I believed and what I didn’t believe – I just looked on that as more of a scam. It’s not like psychics and mediums where it’s like, ‘Does it really matter? People get some comfort out of it, they’re just showmen, but does it really matter?’ [Spiritual healing] is genuinely dangerous.”

How is it dangerous?
“People do not get better at all, and not only do they not got better but they’re told to throw the medicine away. Because if they take the medicine, that’s a demonstration that they don’t have enough faith and if they don’t have enough faith the healing won’t continue. Of course it never works, so everything is about the blame being put back onto the victim, for want of a better word. The people that come up on stage and bounce around and seem to be healed are basically responding to the fact that adrenaline is pumping through their veins and adrenaline is a painkiller. The next day, if anything, they’re going to be worse because they’re bouncing round and touching their toes which they shouldn’t do if they’ve got chronic arthritis! Then you’ve got all the people the cameras don’t show – people with Down’s syndrome, people in wheelchairs, people on drips and in hospital beds. At the big rallies which are where it’s just nastiest, there’s a filtering process at the bottom of the steps where the stewards filter out the people who can be brought up on stage and be shown to be healed. Anybody with an arm missing or anything that’s visible or chronic or real or an organic disease is just sent back. You’ve got the despair of people who do come up and they’re not better and they’re blaming themselves and their own faith, and then you’ve got the hordes of people who are following these healers around America – chronically ill people who are being carried in by their parents, just going from gig to gig to gig waiting for a healing and it never happens.”

What’s the money side of faith healing?
“It’s closely allied to the Prosperity Gospel – they take the idea of sow and you shall reap to be a financial incentive. So Jesus bestows blessings in the form of money and to get that money you have to give. But you’ve got to give more than you can afford otherwise you’re not really giving it in faith. You give it to your pastor and you’ll get hundredfold back. If you don’t, again you don’t have enough faith or you’ve got secret sin. We heard a story of a little girl who was 13. There was a testimonial on TV of someone who had MS, and she had paid $1,000 and been cured. This was an actress talking, it was a produced advert. This 13-year-old girl had MS, so she started saving up, mainly money from her grandmother, and eventually gave $1,000 bit by bit. Of course her MS didn’t go so she rang them up and said, ‘I don’t understand what’s happened’ and she was told, ‘Oh well, you’ve probably got secret sin in your life’. So she poured petrol over herself and killed herself. These are rare cases, but there is just misery that they leave behind. And the top names are earning far more money than any Hollywood A-lister. It’s also the mailing lists, it’s not just the people that are there putting money in buckets. And then you hear that they’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on room service, rentboys in one case, just all on cash. This money people put in the baskets is just being spent that night.”

The faith healers seem homophobic – is that something that motivated you?
“That’s just sort of ground into that world, into the Deep South, Bible Belt world. One of the big name healers is gay, keeps it very, very quiet – was spending the donation money on rentboys one night. It’s not a big thing for me, I don’t get fired up by that sort of thing. I think there’s a bigger picture that’s just fairly unpleasant.”

Is homophobia one of the reasons you left the church?
“Not at all – I think very few Christians are homophobic. I did go through an area of the church that was about trying to cure gay people. It was rather misjudged, but I was aware of that and I kind of flirted a bit with that… Friends of mine were in it so I was kind of aware of it. I just felt it was misguided really.”

You had a run-in with the police while filming – was that scary?
“They were very nice – they were very polite police. But we did get a criminal trespass warning. All we were doing was just driving in this area to head up to [pastor Kenneth Copeland's] church but we were suspicious because we were three vehicles who had been snooping around a bit. It was very dodgy. They were saying they’d spoken to us before and warned us about coming in which was patently untrue.”

Were you worried that it was about to ruin all your work?
“Yeah, because that Saturday we were planning a final event for our pastor to perform. They’re asking for our passport details, and I’m like, ‘Am I supposed to tell him my name?’ And then they’re giving all our details to the private security guards which certainly wouldn’t be allowed to happen here. So they’ve got my name and the pastor’s name, which isn’t real. If they wanted they could easily work out something’s going on. They also had the flyers for the show we gave them in a misjudged moment of, ‘Come along!’ That was a bit of a concern. But in the end it was alright – I think they were probably just relieved we left.”

Were you worried about the effect the show might have on the fake pastor?
“We knew it would be a real journey, and for the pastor too there would be a sense of, ‘What happens to him?’ He’s the one up there doing it. He’s the one who could be most vulnerable on all sorts of levels. There was a real duty of care for him and protecting him. It was hugely tense for all of us. We’re with this guy who’s doing a fantastic job but has never done anything like this before. It’s not smooth for him by any means. And is he going to really start getting off on this? I found it myself, rehearsing with him and just running through little bits, part of me was itching to get up there and do a little bit of it myself, just from the point of view of performance. I wouldn’t dream of doing it because when you start working with the audience you cross that moral line. But you can see how there’s a real power trip with it and how it could become really addictive. But I’m still in touch with him and I see no signs!”

He was religious at the start of the program – is he still religious?
“Yeah. One great thing about him was that he’s very sincere and had a real earnestness about it which we knew was important. There were other people in the audition group that might have been more natural performers but we knew it was going to be really tough and if all they had was the ego of the performer they might just walk away from it. Whereas somebody who wasn’t a natural performer but just had a real strong commitment to the cause, we knew would be really important.”

How do you think this show will affect people?
“There’s always a bell curve – there will be people that will just be outraged at the very idea of it at one end and there will be people who think it’s just silly and doesn’t interest them at the other. And in the middle there will be a wave of people who are either non-believers like me who think, ‘Oh, that’s terrible’ so it raises awareness. And there’ll be Christians who are sort of aware of it, but don’t take it that seriously. But seeing what goes on in the name of God is a potentially horrible thing if that’s where you come from, because it’s nothing to do with God. It’s a big thing in the show – it’s not an attack on God or faith or the church. It’s about a greedy scam which has nothing to do with God apart from the fact that they mention his name a lot.”

Would you like the show to stop people going to these faith healing events?
“You’d hope… Of course, the horrible thing is that when you’re desperate you don’t really think about evidence. If someone says, ‘Yeah, I can help you’, you just go for it, of course. It’s easy for someone who isn’t desperate to say, ‘Look, here’s the evidence’. You just hope that if you put the information out there people can make a more informed decision. I think that’s the best you can hope for.”

Do you think some Christian people will think you’re attacking their religion?
“Of course, that’s a given. I’m sure people will think that and that’s up to them. But it’s very clear in the show, I make the point very clearly and some of the people helping train our fake pastor are Christians themselves that have been in that movement and are just as horrified by it. It’s about that bell curve again – I think people in the middle will see beyond the fact that we’re talking about Jesus. That shouldn’t immediately make it offensive, when you actually look at what we’re doing. This comes just as much from a distaste as a Christian I had as much as just a human being looking at exploitation.”

Do you think the American authorities could take action?
“It’s very tricky. The church is massively powerful, it’s a huge, huge business. The authorities are reluctant to do anything because it’s about religion and it’s easier to leave them to it. I think one big thing that would help generally is a bit of a shift in tax law, because if you say you’re earning money from a church it’s tax free in the States. There’s a massive tax incentive because they’re not paying a penny on it, they don’t have to declare it, they don’t have to say where it’s going, because that donation money is largely going to nice houses and jets. It’s not like it’s going to pay for Bibles or fuelling into the Word of God. They’re just taking it and spending it on themselves.”

Russell is one of only two people in the world to do their doctorate thesis on tithing and he really knows his stuff.

Russell was kind and gracious in this debate, just like he was when he allowed me to interview him HERE. If you listen to my interview with Russell, two things will be obvious to you. 1. I don’t know much about tithing. 2. But Mr. Kelley REALLY DOES.

There should be 2 or 3 more videos from this debate to be uploaded here soon. And you can see more post on this blog with material from Russell here.

An Ex-Word of Faith Pastor friend of mine suddenly lost his daughter to WoF teachings while in the middle of a sermon series on healing. Had she not been practicing WoF beliefs she could have been saved by sharing that she was having symptoms, but she had been taught that acknowledging sickness shows a lack of faith and is a bad confession . The indoctrination level and pressure to adhere to this false teaching is so great that my friend finished his sermon series on healing the day after he buried his daughter.

Our Groupblog Author Pappa Giorgio’s’ father died from cancer because he did not accept treatment for a highly treatable form of cancer until it was too late. So it can really be said that “Faith Kills”.

The last part is the part to hear. Please pray for this very smart and adorable young girl Sarah and others like her.

It gets really good half way through!!!

It looks like they got enough money on them steps to get Juanita some new clothes and a hair-do, she sure needs it because she looks like she has been rode hard and put up wet.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Acts 20:29-32

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Timothy 4:1

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, colossians 2:18

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England’s best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London’s famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

I cannot say enough about the quality of teaching that Jeff has shared with this blog and it’s visitors. You will be extremely blessed if you visit Jeffs RETURNINGKING.COM.

Jeff has turned two of his teaching series into books. The Returning King and Spirit World. And since the books are essentially his article series, both books are available for FREE READING. And he is now finishing up the book Wolves in Wool which comes from his article and video series that is on this blog. Jeff is currently doing two new video series called “The Gospel Truth” and “Interpreting the Bible“. He also has a couple of other completed video teaching series.

And you can watch these teaching series as they are streamed live at  

Which is essentially an online TV channel for services at the church Jeff pastors, First Baptist Church Needville TX, USA – www.fbcneedville.org

As you can see there are many reasons to visit and bookmark Jeff’s blog RETURNINGKING.COM.

I have really enjoyed brother Jeffs teachings. I hope you do also. Jeff really does a good job on the subject of Faith in the following video.

Wolves in Wool 3 – Faith, the Omnipotent Entity from Jeff Kluttz on Vimeo.

FROM THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

You MUST hear this song! A powerful song and teaching that gives you a serious warning concerning false teachers and their ungodly dangerous doctrines. You should listen to holy men of God who preach the truth from a sincere heart.THIS SONG IS FROM THE CD “CONSIDER THE COST” BY STEVE CAMP.I CONSIDER IT ONE OF HIS BEST.

The following book is a very good book to read on the subject it is called “The Agony of Deceit” by Michael Horton. The song is based on this book and 2 Peter 2. You can order this book on Amazon.com or ebay.

If you are a serious Christian and want to know the truth about this Movement consider buying these books.

You can find these books on amazon.com

1. “A Different Gospel” by D.R. McConnell
2. “The New Charismatics” by Michael Moriarty
3. “Christianity in Crisis” by Hank Hanegraaff
4. “The Seduction of Christianity” by Dave Hunt
5.” The Word-Faith Controversy” by Robert Bowman
6. “The Born Again Jesus of the Word-Faith Teaching” by Judith Matta
7. “The Strange World of Benny Hinn”
8. The Disease of the Wealth and Health Gospel” Gorden Fee (A renown godly Pentecostal Bible scholar).

If fact there is no church historian or Bible Scholar that would agree with these false teachings. I know this movement well. I graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center in 1979 and spent 12 long years as a part of this movement. I preached in many WOF Churches. I was a devout reader of E.W. Kenyon. I read one of his books over 40 times! I met and heard many of the key figures of this movement in the ’70s and 80s. So I’m not a novice on the subject. God by His grace set me free from these false doctrines in 1988. At the time I was a pastor of a growing church. I recanted before my congregation. The Bible became like a new book to me, so precious, pure and powerful. Since then I’ve been on the narrow road that leads to life. I now preach the Gospel as according to Jesus and the Apostles as inspired by the Holy Spirit. Finally, let it be said that not all pentecostals agree with the Word of Faith Movement. God bless you.

You’ll shake your head in dismay as you see men barking like dogs and being led around on leashes; women howling like wolves and braying like donkeys; and profanity shouted from the pulpit. You’ll recoil in astonishment to discover supposed Christian leaders scoffing at Bible doctrine; a televangelist and his associates sharing an opium smoking pipe; possessed people slithering like serpents at crusades; and thousands of worshippers blasphemously speaking in false tongues and breaking out in roaring, hysterical laughter…

Did you ever wish you could collect and compile all the major news media’s investigative exposés on the antics of Benny Hinn? Well, now you can. The televangelist watchdog group, The Trinity Foundation, has organized three solid hours of documented, hard-hitting reports on the escapades of the controversial faith healer. It’s all you ever wanted to know about Hinn and more.

The video begins with the 1993 Inside Edition investigation of the finances and healings of the evangelist. The Inside Edition footage, the first study of Hinn by the national news media, still ranks as one of the best — if not the best — of showing Hinn at his worst. It features Hinn and his entourage trying to bully their way past Inside Edition’s news crew at the Philadelphia airport and how the Hinn ministry’s irresponsible disregard for documented healings caused them to broadcast a “fake” healing. But the Inside Edition piece is just the tip of the iceberg.

From there the video moves on to Hinn’s 1993 700 Club appearance with Pat Robertson where he laments his former ways and teachings. As the video progresses into more recent reports, much of what Hinn bemoaned to Robertson and his audience is still evident in Hinn’s life and ministry.

The collection also contains reports that would otherwise be hard or impossible to find. These include Pam Zekman’s 1993 three-part report (WBBM-ABC Chicago), the 1998 60 Minutes (Australia) segment, and Richard Ray’s 1999 two-part report (KDFW-FOX Dallas-Fort Worth). Also included are local news items from various Orlando television stations that chronicle Hinn’s problems at home. They reveal Hinn’s misfortune when he hired a private investigator to look into his ministry’s finances (and apparently found more than what Hinn bargained for) and the deaths of two of his key staff by heroin overdoses.

In all the reports, Hinn consistently groans with ignorance of the facts as to the out-of-control world he has created around himself. The astute viewer of all this will ask, “How can someone who is so in tune with the Divine (i.e., receiving personal messages from Jesus), be so out of touch with his life and ministry?”

Interspersed throughout the reports is a selection of Hinn’s most outrageous theological bloopers, including Adam was an astronaut, the Red Sea icecapades, the Holy Ghost machine gun and TBN to raise the dead. And, yes, no Benny Hinn video collection would be complete without his wife, Suzanne’s “Holy Ghost enema” and “butt-kisser” statements. Those clips are there too.

The video not only will educate and entertain, but bring most viewers to heartbreak by the revelations of how this man’s false and reckless teachings have devastated the lives of some followers.
