Benny Hinn is doing it AGAIN (Charisma Media Interview)

- Here's the backstory...
I did this four hour video showing the evils of Benny Hinn's ministry. • The Victims of Benny H...
Those who know me know that I am slow to say stuff like this. I've NEVER made such a scathing critique of someone.
Benny Hinn has been doing damage control and did a fake apology video with Charisma Magazine's Steven Strang here... • Benny Hinn Speaks Out ... and here... • Benny Hinn Speaks Out ...
Charisma also wrote an article that seems to defend Hinn and portray me as making a career out of criticizing Hinn as well as just using old footage of Hinn's past (both of which are not true). That's here mycharisma.com/spiritled-livi...
I have a lot of respect for my interviewer, John Matarazzo, for doing this interview when I imagine it could cause some waves for him.
Disclaimer: I know I will be accused of being obsessed with Benny Hinn or of just having a vendetta. Someone who isn't paying attention could believe that pretty easily. They just make a few assumptions and ignore the details. In reality, this isn't about Benny Hinn. It's about his victims. Every day someone is hurt by Hinn or the myriad of pastors who are copying his manipulative ways. It harms the church and excuses the unbelief of skeptics. We should have collectively called him out decades ago. If my coverage of this bothers you then I understand. For the sake of the victims, this is worth addressing. Paul the apostle would have kicked Hinn out a long time ago.

45:20 My final word.
47:23 Prayer for victims, leaders, and Benny Hinn.
This whole thing is really grieving. But the harm Hinn is causing is so great that I don't think I can back down. I understand those who are worried that this is just division without justification. I believe that it's necessary and biblical.
This isn't for clicks. This isn't for attention. This isn't a personal vendetta. Hinn is hurting people and those who defend him are causing more harm.
It’s about time actual Christians stand up for truth. Thanks for doing that.
Absolutely, Mike. There are most definitely people out there who stir up division for no reason and die on hills that were never meant to be died on. This is not one of those cases. You have done an excellent job "speaking the truth in love." People sometimes are offended by the truth, and some "Believers" falsely assume that just because they are offending people, that means they are being "bold" and being obedient. You do not seem like that type. As believers, we speak the truth in love, telling the truth even when it offends people, but offending people is not our goal. Winning them to Christ is.
Thank you for being obedient, brother. May God continue to bless and increase your ministry as you respond in sincerity, honesty, and genuine love for the lost and misguided.
Blessings!
Amen, Mike.
This is necessary and you should not back down but stay firm.
Praying for you in this.
Amén Brother
Totally with you on this.
Bad theology hurts people. And people can enable bad theology when they're afraid to stand up to those who are teaching it.
I'm glad you're doing this.. It's biblical to speak up because of this reason. And I've never understood the division argument. It's the people that teach the bad theology that are bringing division, not the people trying to correct it. Romans 16.
There is no division in removing wolves from the flock of sheep. If we love the Church, we will keep it safe from predators and clean from error.
@@gigahorse1475 amen.
Yes, you're right Melissa.
@@gigahorse1475 and @MelissaDougherty - I think we need to understand the right words - their context and psychology. We also shouldn't be afraid to divide - there is rightful division and wrong division. What you're saying is right but also has a bit of contradiction. There IS division here and THERE NEEDS TO BE! We are living in a time when we are all being divided as God tests us all and divides the sheep from the goats. Let us be in favor of GOOD/ HEALTHY division. There is nuance is language that we really NEED to take a deeper, longer look at b/c so many use words carelessly and this leads to many miscommunications and therefore then, many misinterpretations and misunderstandings.
Wolf or not, BH is not innocent. Wolf or not, repentance is about inward change that manifests making it right.
I'm not in a position to know what that would exactly look like, but biblically..
In this event, biblical repentance would look like a refund to everyone he defrauded, declare bankruptcy if necessary, to do so. Consider the rich you ruler or Zecchaeus.
Maybe confession in court if necessary, whatever it takes.
Matthew 19:24 is true.. so is verse Matthew 19:25-26.🙏
Ironically, if biblical repentance happened by living faith, we as believers with the same living faith would be compelled to stand in solidarity with him while going through it.
He wouldn't be abandoned by the Church in the midst of his repentance..
There would be rejoicing in heaven.
Who knows how God would use him as a testimony, how he could encourage others like him to do the same.
There is always hope for the repentant, but there never is for the unrepentant when time expires.
I am astonished at the amount of people telling Mike to “let it go” or that’s he’s trying to judge Benny Hinn. That’s the problem with today. No one is willing to unapologetically stand against heresy and false prophets. Benny Hinn didn’t make mistakes, he has known exactly what he is doing. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and so many of yall are telling Mike to let up because it’s too much? He is not being unnecessary. He does not bash him. He is thoughtful and researched presenting facts.
In this day an age, any negative response or calling someone out for bad behavior is seen as hate and judgmental. Then they say “you’re mot a good christian for hating” as if they know anything with their bad theology.
What Mike is doing is biblical. All christians are to expose false teachers. Eph 5:11. Paul gave examples of naming names in the NT. Eg. Hymenaeus, Philetus, Alexander, Demus. The problem these days is that people don't know scripture and/or they take scripture out of context. Eg. Matt 7 - judge not.
@@chazzitz-wh4ly Just like the cowardly Republicans who never call out the liars, who never stand firm against anti-Americanism. Church or state, the results are the same.
We’re meant to judge within the body of Christ.
Truth!
I think Hinn needs to retire, apologise to his many victims and close down his ministry
And sell all his possessions.
And give everything he owns to the poor. Including all of his money.
...and sit down with some Biblically qualified men to learn. Perhaps Pastor Chris Rosborough and/or Justin Peters.
And actually repent. All of that means nothing if he doesn't genuinely repent.
…which unfortunately is not something I see him doing. 😢 But miracles can happen.
"Paul took offerings for the poor, not from the poor"...God bless the giver.
This was a great quote. I really love Mike
😂😂. Mike is getting rich in CZcams. He is NOT a pastor. He gave that accountability up to make money online!
Luke 21:1-4
I’m so happy you think you have the correct theology. Keep building your channel off of putting preachers down. Without their popularity you would not have a channel. But you do and people enjoy you.
Jesus Himself received an offering from a poor widow. I guess Jesus should have given it back to her. 🤔🙄😳
I thought the interviewer did a good job at letting you "say your piece." He seemed to ask honest, open-ended questions, rather than asking loaded questions. I appreciated that.
Say your PEACE, not PIECE.😊
@@Switzer1234respectfully, "Say your piece" refers to stating your opinion, or your "piece" or "part" of the conversation. This is often confused with "hold your peace," which is often associated with marriage objections and refers to remaining silent and peaceful.
This is not my words but exactly what comes up when you search it
Mike is completely correct. Benny hinn is so clearly not a Christian and is an evil person. Benny hinn has actively and knowingly ruined lives and the only people still falling for him are sadly ignorant from lack of reading their Bible and learning from good teachers or just completely deceived.
@@Switzer1234 interesting that this was a problem for you. I have 4 Master's degrees and it wasn't a problem for me. AND I learned something new in the definition. Interesting that I have been using piece / peace incorrectly. Notice if my grammar or spelling isn't up to your standards LET it go.
@@slynnjacomet8 Exactly man I only searched it because it made me wonder. You are a much smarter person than me that's for sure, and your willingness to learn regardless is encouraging thank you.
Maybe the most troubling thing to me from Hinn's interview w/Strang is at the very end. When Benny Hinn is praying. He uses the example of Jesus on the cross asking the Father to forgive people that don't know what they are doing. He then prays for forgiveness towards "those who have spoken against us and said things that should not have been said against us". If he was truly repentant he would have been thankful for people like Mike calling him out. Instead he insidiously went after Mike and others indirectly, attempting to manipulate and gaslight the audience who is watching him pray to think these are the bad guys.
That is why asking both Hinn and Winger to pray was very manipulative. You can manipulate through prayer by preaching while you're praying. Also, you can use the prayer against someone to say they were either forgiving, and therefore, it's all good OR say they were judgmental and unforgiving in their prayer.
You know Mike, you call Hinn a hypocrite, but I have to say the same about you. For example: "we should be open to what the Holy Spirit wants to do ... create an expectation everyone speaks in tongues ... I don't have that expectation but I am HOPEFUL" Hog wash you are hopeful. You are still bound by your "Baptist" type of doctrine and your ARE NOT willing to learn, why EVERY BELIEVING Christian can speak with other tongues (but not unbelieving baby diaper soiling small "C" Christians). I offered to do a bible study with you and you conveniently avoided the TRUTH amongst other things. Well anyways the sensationalism of your 4 hour video has worn off ... other professional unbelievers are trying to monetize their channels by piggybacking off your faith destructive video. Amazing, your teaching videos get comparatively small hits, BUT your "faithless exposes"; pandering to the multitude of faithless baby Christians looking for reasons to assuage their evil hearts of professional unbelief (Heb. 3vs12) gravitate to your channel. Wow. You'll have a marvelous reward one day. Why don't you find ways to encourage professional unbelievers to start seeking Holy Spirit and to start moving in the supernatural like the first Christians and many BELIEVERS today. That begins with the Baptism of Holy Spirit (by Jesus) with the following/accompanying evidence of speaking with other tongues (but again, not for disobedience Christians like yourself --- Acts 5vs32). Grow up "spiritually" and start serving God with power (1 Cor. 2vs4). Again, you will not post this comment for fear of tarnishing your fake reputation and demonetizing your unbelief reviews.
Good call out
It’s crazy too that it’s basically a “I thank God that I’m not like those people”. He co-opted Jesus’ words on the cross/the Lord’s Prayer just as Satan uses Scripture but still ended up blatantly being the Pharisee speaking against the repentant tax collector just by making that self-righteous comparison. He tried to misuse the Bible and still got theologically beaten by the Spirit!
THAT was a powerful conversation! From a former Benny Hinn follower, 32 years in a Charismatic persuasion, a long time yearly subscriber to Charisma magazine, now 7 years in a Calvary Chapel, sitting under teaching through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse-I am so impressed with Charisma inviting Mike Winger to this conversation, and the respectful way it was handled on both sides!! Bless you two!! Thank you!!👍🏼🙏🏼📖
I remember my grandmother dying of stomach cancer and in pain watching Benny Hinn on TV and reaching out to touch the TV and crying for a miracle. I was just a teenager and I watched wondering if there was any power there? I wanted her to be healed. She died a few weeks before she planned to go to one of Hinns crusades. I really loath him now and all his kind. We must reject this mockery of God's divine grace. God heals but not on command. It's not a pet trick men can evoke from a high a Holy God.
We pray for mercy and let God decide if that is within His plan for us.
My grandmother is with Jesus and free from pain sooner than I would have wanted. She's better off. Praise God!
So you're blaming Benny Hinn for your Grandmother's death???yikes
@@susanthroop1279 you're either disingenuous or not reading. She just said she's not happy with seeing someone preying on hopeful people that don't want to die.
@@susanthroop1279 are you joking? You have to be, right? 😂
@@averysj69 Ministers are suppose to pray for the sick. And if she didn't want prayer she didn't have to lay her hand on the TV. And I asked her a question...
@@DamePiglet No Benny Hinn is being slimed and maliciously attacked. I'm standing up for him.
Can you imagine if your notion of repentance had been so corrupted that you only thought of Christian repentance as a way of appeasing man and not reconciling yourself to God?
What do you mean?
@@lucasdelrocco3971 that Benny is "repenting" to make humans like him his ministry again and forgive him. But not God.
That doesn't make sense.
I think that Christian repentance can involve your brother. You can see this example in Matthew 18:15-17. I don’t think it appeases man. Scripture has always tied the love of your neighbor with the love of God. 1 John 4:20-21
@@gospelchurchworld2429It makes perfect sense.
A world of difference between "I'm truly sorry I did it" (PS 51) and "I'm truly sorry I got caught" (Hinn 24)

I watched your interview with charisma media today.
Great job and you didn’t pull any punches and still came off in your usual pastoral caring way you are known for. 😎👍
I thought *this* was the interview, is it just a cut from the whole?
@@SojournerDidimus It was the interview….but I had watched it on charisma media….it popped up in my feed. I’d never heard of them but I saw Mike so I watched it.
@@onehappydawg cool! Thanks for clarifying. I am following Mike's channel, not charisma.
So just to clarify, the thing you watched was the same as this video?
@@Johnnyvtg No, it was not “the same”
But it was the actual interview on the other CZcams channel shown in this video, minus the introduction by Mike.
Thank you, Mike Winger, for speaking what needs to be said and exposing Benny Hinn. Someone should have done this decades ago.
Many pastors and teachers have! Few have a platform as large as Pastor Mike however.
What is worse, is that secular media have been doing Benny Hinn exposés which do not paint Christianity in a very Godly light.
He certainly isn’t the first…people HAVE been doing this for decades.
Would have saved me heartbreak and money

Hank Hannagraff wrote a book years ago about these charlatans. It's called Christianity in Crisis. I read it over 20 years ago. My wife's family was and are Word of Faith prosperity gospel adherents. I was almost stunned after bringing up the fallacies and false teachings of these people especially Kenneth Copeland and his minions and wannabes. Terrible and so sad.
"If Benny would be truthful about his deceptions and truly repent, it would ruin his reputation but saves his soul" ... We certainly pray that Benny will truly repent.

Thanks Pastor Mike. Here from South Africa. Africa is full of these money hungry preachers. Keep it up. Surely some people will hear and be delivered. Please the next one is TD Jakes.
All those Benny Hinn copies need to repent too!

Joyce Myers, Kenneth Copland, Jesse Duplantis, and so so many more… Robin Bullock, he’s a younger Kenneth Copland. This makes me sick. My mom gave to many of these when me and my siblings were growing up,
Oral Roberts and Jimmy Swaggered. We wore junk clothes junk shoes, we didn’t do anything but church and all the while they were living the highlife. My dad left us and there was no child support then. Believe it or not I’ve just come to my senses in the last few years. I’m 62 years old 😮We can be stupid people!!
Oh I know what you mean and feel stupid for even listening and believing these awful teachers for over 20 years 😫 I realised truth 2 years ago. I’m so glad I’m free of it all now.
@@karenyeshua5086 amen!!! Praise God our eyes are open.
I accidentally fell into it again in the last two years because of trying times and I'm trying to blur it out from my memory... So embarrassing. I was even aware of the tactics at the time and yes I was in a desperate place, but my human ego of being smart and not foolish is being hit. Thank God I was too broke to give too much 😂
I am a biblical continuist yet still agree that Benny Hinn fits almost every wicked characterization of the false teacher, false prophet, false apostle, and greed-driven hireling found in Matthew 7:18- 23, 2 Peter 2, and the Book of Jude. I pray for Benny, but make no mistake, I pray for his salvation. If Benny can represent a true brother in Christ then I honestly have no biblical measure of how the Holy Spirit operates in and through a true brother.

Mike, the spirit is clearly guiding your effort to expose Benny Hinn. Your motives are pure and your presentation of the truth is compelling for those with "ears to hear". Thank you.

I watched the Charisma interview. Mad respect to you Mr. Winger. You made me grieve for Benny Hinn and pray for his soul. I do think Hinn is in damage control but his due judgment is coming.
My life has been so bruised by this man Mike. My only 2 children attend one of Benny Hinns churches. I cry my heart out regularly. You help me know what to say (with love and biblically quoting our Lord) Thankyou❤️🇨🇦
Oh please...drama queen.
I hear you. That was me! I thought I was doing right, but God had to slap me out of it (how many times, I'll find out later 😂).
Keep praying for them, that's the most important thing 🙏 And don't think God has given up! He saved my life several times and didn't give up chasing and wooing me. Don't lose hope🫂💝🙏✌️
Blessings from Finland.
@@susanthroop1279I’ve seen your comments here and so far you’ve been callous and uncaring toward fellow believers. Why are you being nasty toward others just to defend a man you barely know who has a track record of bad theology? Do you have something to lose if he’s wrong, to the point that you’d rather be unkind to someone who’s suffering just to protect your own beliefs? Think about it.
@@Window4503 Are you really serious....You're definitely a duh-ciple. I'm countering the slam and slime that is being thrown at Benny Hinn. As Paul says: Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth. Benny Hinn is my brother in Christ. Have you never heard of speaking the truth in love. You sound like a snowflake and whiner and maybe not spin what's going on.
I tell you, I have had a *really horrible experience* with a "Benny Hinn wannabe" in a *white jacket* , who behaved *exactly* as Hinn on stage. And it left me broken, hurting and humiliated. And I was absolutely *not healed* !
Just like in the *many* videos I've watched on Benny Hinn, this "healer" was also only interested in having me fall to the floor. He wasn't interested in me at all, and never even talked to me - he just screamed " *FIRE* " in my face, and got frustrated when I remained standing, and screamed " *FIRE* " some more. He *sounded like a dragon* .
And I just sat down on the floor and *cried* in disappointment - mostly at my gullible self - and *nobody cared* .
I had been praying the whole time "Lord, if this is *not from you* , then I don't want to receive it."
I tell you, it was *definitely not from God* . And this experience is what God used to *open my eyes* to this type of *religious stage manipulation* .
And that was the only positive thing that came out of this horrible experience.
Now, many years later, *my illness is still there* , even *more serious* than at the time. But I tell you, the Lord, in *not healing me* has been much more graceful, than that "Apostle" in the white jacket ever was.
And now I can spot a charlatan and false "healer" in an instant. And as soon as I see one, I want to *warn* my brothers and sisters to stay well away!!
Your story touched me. I’m so sorry
@@bethlThank you sister. I tell you, it was a very exhausting, demeaning and disappointing experience. And my heart goes out to everyone who, like me, in desperate hope of healing, gets played by one of these Wolves.
Now, the Lord has used this in my life, to open my eyes, so I can warn others. But it was still very painful, exhausting and humiliating.
That's beautiful, thank you for sharing.
I fell for this, too
@@elained7006 Thank you. I'm sorry to hear you did, Elaine. But am I right in assuming that God has used this experience in your life too? So that you now can warn others.
@@ingela_injeela yes! As I learn, I teach. It's so important
it's a sad day when people who tell the truth are called "heresy Hunter" 🐍
No different than the time of the OT prophets. What was will be again…
Mike should get tee shirts printed up. LOL. “Mike Winger and the Heresy Hunters” Hunters of heresy by day, gospel singers by night.
@@OrangPasien what!!... ¿he sings? 🤯
No, it's not. I once followed and was blinded by the heres hunters' ways. Nowhere in The Bible, is the majority of our faith walked out by calling out others. It's **part of it,** but it should not make up 90% of how we walk out our faith.
@@user-vd2ph7rg9f Well if you're watching a channel and it's about a specific topic, then that's what the majority of their videos or content is going to be about... that doesn't mean that's their whole life, that's just their Channel.
I'm very grateful for those channels. I have lost so many friends and siblings to those false gospel ideas and almost lost myself, but thank God for those people they call "heresy Hunters" they are the ones sounding the alarms. otherwise you will have people like Dr Brown, who constantly justifies the wrongdoings.. and so many actual crimes that are happening in the church would still be pulled under the rug.
Not a heresy hunter in the least bit. I hate it. WIth that being said, keep after it, brother! Thank you for speaking out FOR the victims!
You know Mike, you call Hinn a hypocrite, but I have to say the same about you. For example: "we should be open to what the Holy Spirit wants to do ... create an expectation everyone speaks in tongues ... I don't have that expectation but I am HOPEFUL" Hog wash you are hopeful. You are still bound by your "Baptist" type of doctrine and your ARE NOT willing to learn, why EVERY BELIEVING Christian can speak with other tongues (but not unbelieving baby diaper soiling small "C" Christians). I offered to do a bible study with you and you conveniently avoided the TRUTH amongst other things. Well anyways the sensationalism of your 4 hour video has worn off ... other professional unbelievers are trying to monetize their channels by piggybacking off your faith destructive video. Amazing, your teaching videos get comparatively small hits, BUT your "faithless exposes"; pandering to the multitude of faithless baby Christians looking for reasons to assuage their evil hearts of professional unbelief (Heb. 3vs12) gravitate to your channel. Wow. You'll have a marvelous reward one day. Why don't you find ways to encourage professional unbelievers to start seeking Holy Spirit and to start moving in the supernatural like the first Christians and many BELIEVERS today. That begins with the Baptism of Holy Spirit (by Jesus) with the following/accompanying evidence of speaking with other tongues (but again, not for disobedience Christians like yourself --- Acts 5vs32). Grow up "spiritually" and start serving God with power (1 Cor. 2vs4). Again, you will not post this comment for fear of tarnishing your fake reputation and demonetizing your unbelief reviews.
MANY of Mikes videos go after Heresy. Either don’t be ashamed of the title or quit the practice.
Truth is, taking down preachers, denominations and theology IN PUBLIC is sooooo clickable.
This is like a shepherd hating to be called a wolf fighter. It’s part of the job. The wolves are the ones who coined it as a slur. Why listen to them??
As a 100% disabled veteran these bogus healers particularly outrage me. I’ve got 27 VA-rated conditions that all show up on X-rays and MRIs. And these fraud healers pronounce “healing” but make it the hurting person’s fault for not “claiming” or “receiving” their healing. This victim-blaming is literally demonic.
Thank you for your service. ❤ The victim-blaming is indeed demonic.

It is Demonic, it's NOT Christ Following, and as Paul says "they are of their Father Satan"... We who have the Holy Spirit living inside us, have discernment. We can discern the truth from LIES.

I have watched this "saga" unfold, with intrigue.
Mike, you handled all of this so faithfully and eloquently and with such grace, and, I believe, with pure motives.
Thank you for the time you spent clarifying, proving, and revealing, as you say, "the many layers". I pray you are blessed for your boldness and tirelessness in exposing BH, for the benefit of those who have been deceived by him.
Your gentleness and caring in the subject matter is evident and beautiful.
Thank you!
I agree. There is more genuine *love* in Mike Winger's pointing finger, than in all of Benny Hinn's bank account.

It's awesome that you got to do this interview, so that those who are in the Benny Hinn circles get to hear what the problems are without filtering it through Benny Hinn.
It is really a shame. It only bolsters your UNBELIEF. Focusing on the negative, instead of pressing into God and getting Baptized with Holy Spirit.

I was going to a "Charismatic" church and I kept feeling some strange energy in that place. I took it to GOD in pray and a few days later, I woke up and ALL morning, I kept hearing the name "Jeremiah". I realized that I had never read that entire book, so that very morning I read it and by the time I was done with the book, I understood what is going on in that movement.
Charismatics like to use the UNBIBLICAL slur "heresy hunters" to anyone that points out that they are under the possession of unclean spirits and divination. False prophesy is a death sentence, in fact, the main enemy that goes to the LAKE OF FIRE is called a FALSE PROPHET. If Charismatics had any discernment at all, they'd be walking with a LOT more care.
With all respect, some of us use the term "heresy hunters" for people whose "ministries" do NOTHING other than point fingers and throw people under the bus. Most of those types of ministries offer no gospel message or bible teaching of their own, but rather just focus on everyone who is "wrong" in their eyes.
Don't call it demonic or anything like that, there still can be churches where the Holy Spirit is but people might be disobeying or it takes time to change. No one is perfect and if there is God's Spirit but you call it names you might blasheme God my friend. So be careful, rather say I don't believe it's true or not sure or I believe it's not biblical but don't insult it with devilish names. Some things may seem weird and be from God and some things may seem awesome and be false. You can openly call other religions demonic, Hinduism, Islam etc. but don't do that to people that call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even in the Bible there were disobeying churches and even though they were really bad, they still belonged to Jesus Christ. I don't say it out of hate but I warn you to be careful. If you call something demonic about some churches and it's not and you will find out later you were wrong, you blashemed, but if you call something demonic about some churches and you find out later you were wrong but you haven't called it demonic etc. just didn't accept, criticized it, said you don't believe this or biblically based on your knowledge you disagreed, you haven't blashemed, God will rebuke you and give you understanding. What denomination are you in if I may ask?
@@e.m.8094I'm not digging you out or anything, mate, and I may not even have a complete grasp of what you actually mean but, does one have to have a great ability to preach etc. etc. In order to point out something they definitely do not agree with because they think its wrong? I'm not bugging you for an answer I suppose I'm asking rhetorically, just a thought ya know, putting my 2 pence worth in.
@@Zak_Nike I understand what you're saying, but I feel like if someone has enough biblical knowledge to point out and teach people what ISN'T right, they should then have the ability and knowledge to teach what IS right. I have nothing against calling out error, I just don't see any New Testament examples of anyone having a ministry that ONLY does that.
@@e.m.8094
The HOLY spirits gifts are well defined, discerning spirits is ONE of those gifts.
When Paul and Silas were teaching, there was a girl with an unclean spirit, apparently 'doing GODS work' by following them and yelling for EVERYONE to listen to them because they were men of GOD. Now, to the average person, such a spectacle would appear to be the work of GOD, a herald to usher the wayward in to hear Paul but Paul knew what it really was.
My advice is to take your questions to GOD as I did, I felt something was off and GOD pointed me to HIS word and I had the answer, loud and clear.
If you're going to tolerate false prophets, date setting, inane gibbering that is not edifying, corporate pray when JESUS himself gave the instruction "When you pray, pray like this", then I wonder, where is the line?
At some point, people started 'off roading' with the gospel and were given over to all forms of error. The entire New Testament, aside from ONE book is talking about false teachers.
To compare it to actual repentance, just read Psalm 51. No brainer.
One says "I'm truly sorry I did it" (PS 51) the other, "I'm truly sorry I got caught" (Hinn 24)
I’ll let the fruit produced speak for itself. It’s easy to lie.
I’d like to see something like what Steven Bancarz did after teaching new age and making a fortune. He first told his followers it was all a lie and then he sold his huge house and wrote a book with Josh Peck. He hasn’t tried to make a new following, all his focus was to give Jesus glory. I would love to see him truly repent because that would actually give people more hope than him not doing it. 💔🙏
Ah....Benny Hinn has supported missions a orphanages all over the world for decades. Tabloid presentations like Mike's present 1/2 truths and rarely get their facts straight.
Amen
I haven't heard of Steve Bancarz. If what you say of him is correct, that does sound like very real repentance, like what Zaccheus did in the New Testament.
Yes, that is a FABULOUS example. He went from being ridiculously rich off the New Age to getting death threats and hate mail because he was bold enough to say “I’m so sorry, this is all crap and it’s demonic and Jesus is the only way.” And then he shut all his income streams down, sold off all his fancy stuff, and became just a guy who shares his testimony and points to Jesus. No self aggrandizing speeches, no “don’t blame me, it was just a mistake, I’m human.” Just full out apology, accountability and a life lived 180° in repentant pursuit of Christ. THAT is what repentance looks like.

great comment mate
Mike, Great interview. Can't believe there are folks who work at "Charisma" who are this reasonable and sane as this interviewer. Thank you for exposing one of the biggest crooks who calls himself a pastor. If Benny Hinn does anything short of shutting down his ministry, donating all his assets to other ministries, and living a middle-class life just like all the victims he cheated, to me, it's not repentance. Boy, Benny Hinn needs to repent yesterday and repent again, may be, 3rd time is the charm 🙂

Off topic but it’s a red flag when someone calls someone a heresy hunter. If someone is preaching heresy we are commanded to call them out. I’ve noticed charismatics are the ones using the term the most. Makes me think they have something to hide to be honest
Exactly!
They would not get along with Paul.
I wouldn’t say they’re hiding anything as they’re quite proud of their false teachings. They’re just in denial about how wrong they are and will do anything to justify themselves
Calling out heresy when you see it and making it your job to find heresy are similar but different. We call it witch hunts for a reason. When you are looking everywhere for a witch you will always find one. That's why when it comes from Mike Winger it comes off much more credible than people who spend all there time finding people to call heretics.
The inquisitors lamp shines no light.
A lot of them don't know scripture. I was in those churches for 30 years of my life and admittedly I didn't know scripture properly either. It wasn't until I left charismatic churches that I learnt how to properly read scripture in context. In charasmatic churches they tend to take scripture out of context a lot.
@@meplife7313yeah I’ve noticed that, I feel very bad for the people in it. Certain charismatic pastors have an “us vs them” mentally with charismatics and other denominations. It’s very sad and unnecessary
I was raised in Pentecost and I am now 72 years old. Benny Hinn is emulating the charismatic "stars" of his day, the people he most admired and looked up to. It may be in his mind that Kathyrun Kuhlman was the pinnacle of spirituality and understandably he wants to emulate her ministry.
But can you imagine, given the thousands of viewpoints on theological matters that characterize the church, what confusion would reign if we all had the power to work signs and wonders/miracles? "An evil adulterous generation seeks a sign", yet Israel was given signs by Jesus and by his apostles, miraculous Powers that confirmed their doctrine. How could God allow just ANYONE the power to do miracles confirming whatever they believe? Wouldn't this result in utter chaos?
I am thankful for the enthusiasm and love that Pentecostals have for our savior, but we MUST start obeying Paul's direction for the administration of spiritual gifts outlined in first Corinthians chapter 14...
Your statement doesn't make sense.
@@susanthroop1279 what do you mean?
@@susanthroop1279 what I'm trying to say is that I was taught in Pentecostalism that anyone with enough faith had the power to perform signs and wonders, and the more faith you had the more you were able to do these wonders.
I don't think God intends for everyone to do miracles. First Corinthians chapter 12 Paul asks a rhetorical question "do all work miracles?" And the obvious answer is no. My second point is that miracles were given to confirm the teaching of the apostles (Mark 16:20). Would God give people that are teaching error the power to do miracles to confirm in the minds of men that they were from God?? I'm not saying that no miracles ever took place at a Benny hand meeting. But I am saying with my vast experience in charismatic circles, most miracles are the curing of stomach aches and backaches. Very few miracles on the scale of what Jesus did have ever been seen since he was caught up to heaven. Each one of us will give an account for the things that we have done, and thank God for his grace-
@@Steblu74 I'm a charismatic and I appreciate ministries who pray for the sick and operate in the gifts of the Spirit. I've seen many helped and ministered to and I don't like this Mike Wingnut's divisive attacks on Brother Benny. Benny's a faithful servant of God and he's being maligned and falsely attacked. I'm simply standing up for him. Btw....Mike took down my comment I made so I'm going into the comments to make my comment.
Amen; so true. They point is we all have different gifts. If we all did the laundry, who would cook meals? Who would mow? We are to support each other☺️❤️

Yeah Jesus doesn't like it. EXPLAIN, why did Jesus allow the thief Judas to be with Him; up to the night before the crucifixion (washing Judas' feet)?

Really appreciate your documentary and your conversation with Charisma staff here. I had some very well meaning people telling me to go to Benny Hinn Healing service years ago when my son Nathan was diagnosed with a fatal illness. So thankful I did not go...we of course did pray in faith for our beloved son's healing, but in the end...God alone is the One who determines our first and last breath here on earth. It is incredibly sad that so many people are being harmed by Benny & ministries like his. My heart aches & I do pray he truly repents someday, like his nephew Costi, who came out of this false teaching/ministry! Keep up the great work of sharing false teaching such as this Mike Winger! Also appreciate your humility because truly none of us are perfect, but the LORD does want us to call out heresy!
Thank you for your, as usual, gracious accurate and loving response. Your discussion of the Malachi tithing verses, and explaining the truth about this, is especially heartening and probably the first time I've heard a minister correctly explain this. God bless you and your ministry. You've become a true elder in the body.
Also, amazing job Charisma! That's the way to do an interview and get to truth. I'm in awe.
The mere thought of the sort of judgment people like Hinn will receive from God if they don’t sincerely repent before the end is truly, truly scary.
Well said. 👍
It's soooo, sooooo scary! Because I was in that path, not realizing it at all. Every time I think of it, I shudder😬😬😬 But God wasn't gonna let me go ❤️👑❤️🙏
The scariest line in the Bible; “God gave them over to a depraved mind”. Not what you want said about you.
And yet, truly righteous.
Wolves shred sheep to pieces.
Yes true. But why are you focusing on Hinn instead of OBEYING THE LORD. Get Baptized with Holy Spirit (Luke 24vs49, Acts 1vs4,5,8, Acts 2vs38,39, you are called John 15:16, so then the tongues the Jews saw and heard Acts 2vs33 are for you = Mark 16:17, OR are you calling Jesus a liar ?). My reply to the doubt purveyor Mikey = You know Mike, you call Hinn a hypocrite, but I have to say the same about you. For example: "we should be open to what the Holy Spirit wants to do ... create an expectation everyone speaks in tongues ... I don't have that expectation but I am HOPEFUL" Hog wash you are hopeful. You are still bound by your "Baptist" type of doctrine and your ARE NOT willing to learn, why EVERY BELIEVING Christian can speak with other tongues (but not unbelieving baby diaper soiling small "C" Christians).

Brother, I love you and your spirit.
I pray for you and your ministry often, and I appreciate your diligence in study, and research and style of ministry.
We are different theologically, which is great! Among the many things we do agree on is echoed in your statement, I don't know it all.
Much love❣️

2 Cor 4:2 -- "But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." Thanks Mike.
You handled that interview splendidly!
Hog wash. Christianese talk. No meat and Mike really doesn't believe in the the gifts of the Spirit; otherwise he'd be pressing into the Lord in order to receive. Much like you.

The anointing of Pastor Mike comes through so strongly. What an interview!! He doesn’t stumble even when being intimidated by any question. Glad to be subscribed for so long because this channel sure does enrich my life.
Are you serious....there's no anointing there.
@@susanthroop1279You have decided to spend lots of time commenting on this video. Instead of making vague comments, maybe address the issues many Christians have with Benny Hinn. If you haven't already, watch the 4 hour Mike Winger video on it and then come back to the comment section with facts/Biblically support to show how Mike (and those who agree with his view on Benny Hinn) are wrong.
@@susanthroop1279Every true Christian is anointed. Agreed with the other commenter…you keep spamming threads with statements that don’t really add anything to the discussion.
@@Window4503 Well I made a comment in the beginning and Mike took it down. How is it that my statements don't really add anything to the discussion. Did you mean don't add to the flying monkeys who just want to slime and malign Benny Hinn. No I don't want to add to that discussion. I want to counter it and come against these Pharisee who purport to be Christians ie Christ like and look nothing like Him.
AMEN!!!! Well done sir!!!! Standing ovation!!!!! Great interview!!! I especially loved it when you asked exactly what did Benny repent of? And the host couldn’t answer. And you pointed out Benny’s vague answer that in a sense is a lot like cold reading in that the listener actually supplies the information or definition to the vague general words that are used. Benny is a professional scammer, and he never stops. Great job of calling out Stephen Strang and his wolf protection program. He is an enabler!
Yeah Benny needs to repent. BUT, why are you focusing on the negative. Get a life and start pressing into the Lord and get Baptized with Holy Spirit. Then start doing something for the Lord.

Prayers for covering and grace for you and your household, dear brother. It's a wonderful work you're doing. Imagine all of the people that will be escaping the terrible influence of these kinds of deceptive operations.
Avoidance of division cannot justify a lack of accountability for leaders in the body of Christ. Prolonged, harmful, unrepentant actions must be addressed, and when these actions are performed on a public platform, they should also be addressed on one. It can’t only be the world calling out the problems with what people like Benny Hinn are doing. Thank you for trying to call out these behaviors in a biblical manner.
Appreciate you Mike! I watched this earlier today and it’s hard to disagree with anything you said.

Thank you Mike. Don't ever back down. Your video was 100% right on. Lord Bless you!🙏🕊
I find it interesting how out side of the christian world, people who lie for money are called con artists.
Yet in the christian world if a “pastor” or “prophet” lies for money they are not called con artists, and worse people protect them.
Its just manipulating people. Same as outside the christian world.
Same tricks too.
You just have this element of faith, that many sadly believe is a *blind* faith.
Your ignorance of the Bible is painful Judas was a con artist. Maybe you didn't notice. The Lord had patience with Judas, right up to washing his feet the night before His crucifixion. Yeah Benny is wrong on lots of things. Why focus on the "Judas" of the Bible. Start following men of faith; ask the Lord to direct you. Start gong deeper yourself; so that you can help people. My reply to Mikey = You know Mike, you call Hinn a hypocrite, but I have to say the same about you.

When I got saved in the 90's, I lived in India where biblical material was scarce and one of the few pastors whose material had made it there was Benny Hinn. Even as a new christian, I knew something was off but I followed him anyway, sending him all of my pocket money in special international envelops because I was afraid to not do so. My goodness, has God rescued me from such false doctrines or what! Thank you for being so brave and standing up to these mega pastors. You are not alone in this fight. You have an army praying for you.
Mike, your a stand up man of God. You are a great example to men and women of our common faith. Continue the good fight and keep teaching the Word of God that is so vital to our spiritual life. Thanks
Repentance includes restitution:
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”
Restitution is a sign of a repentant heart (fruit) but isn't a necessary component of salvation. Our works do not save us. "Today salvation has come to this house..." (Luke 19:9) is Jesus declaring himself as the means of salvation (he came to the house of Zacchaeus). I don't believe for one minute that Benny Hinn is saved. The Holy Spirit would not encourage him to deceive and exploit others. Salvation is a free gift he could yet receive if he were to repent. That would be a massive shift, though. A true sign or wonder rather than the false ones he proclaims. I reckon what will happen to Benny Hinn is what normally happens to frauds - the lawsuits will come. Not a good look but there is a need for excretion however unpleasant the sight (or smell).
Mike, you've been raised up for a reason, in a time like this. We are thankful for you and your ministry.
May God bless you, and keep you. (Numbers 6 Blessing).
Mike, you are a breath of fresh air and an encouragement for many of us that struggle to find sound teachers in your generation and younger. I find myself saying “AMEN!” multiple times when watching your videos. You are a clear and great communicator. Thank you for being obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit.😊
Mike's presentation was more like bad breathe; not a breathe of fresh air.
Mike, thank you for exposing this false teacher. I grew up in the Charismatic movement, including some pretty extreme stuff. I had my reservations even then, including when I attended a Benny Hinn event. Long story short, I am now a “soft cessationist” and probably best described as a Reformed Baptist. Even though we may disagree on some points of theology, I do appreciate your ministry very much in its levelheadedness and honesty. Keep doing the good work!
Yeah SOFT probably accurately describes your usefulness to the Lord. Your UNBELIEF hinders your spiritual discernment and from operation in the "gifts" yourself. That's why you focus on the charlatans, instead of emulating the example of Paul (1 Cor. 2vs4). My reply to your hero Mikey = You know Mike, you call Hinn a hypocrite, but I have to say the same about you.

I fear for our culture, especially the Christians of our culture. A lot of times I find Christians following or listening to people like Benny Hinn because 1) They do not read the Bible or read it in context, 2) They do not sufficiently critically think about his teachings, or 3) They are quick to support him after hearing only one teaching or hearing one testimony about him. In an age where we think we have a full grasp of a topic in twenty seconds or less, it allows for people like Hinn, Copeland, and other false teachers to thrive because almost anything can seem right in twenty seconds. However, a thorough, critically thought out presentation of the facts brings to light the tragic corruption we are seeing. I just hope we all will be able to grow our attention spans to see it. Thank you Mike for helping us with the research.
I am reminded of a Jesse Duplantis sermon I saw part of many years ago on TV, entitled ""The Gospel Casino." My thought here is that people can be conned into supporting a ministry in the hope that they'll win big, much like someone might hope to win the lottery. High hopes, small payoff, mega disappointment.
Yeah? So why do you not believe in the Baptism of Holy Spirit, with the accompanying gift of speaking with other tongues. Are you not able to read the scriptures accurately? My reply to your hero Mikey, which you would benefit from as well ... if you'd stop your unbelief = You know Mike, you call Hinn a hypocrite, but I have to say the same about you.

I wondered if you had also checked out Joni Erickson Tada. She had a testimony of how she truly believed that she would be healed and went to a Benny hinn event and was of course in her wheelchair being a quadriplegic and she tells the story of how all the people that were in wheelchairs were lined up outside the healing area before people went up on stage and they never let any of those people go up, only the people with smaller issues or non physically noticeable issues. It really did something to her that she will never forget. So sad.
Mile you’ve been handling this so well. Very tactful, Holy Spirit led, clever, etc. You’ve successfully addressed this in a time where the internet can destroy you as bad as Benny Hinn has destroyed other ppl 😅. You’ve shown a level of courage I pray to have. You’ve shown a deep love for God and a knowledge of His word that I strive to have. Well done good and faithful servant! I am so happy that your content is available for believers and non-believers to view as an example of what true Christianity is.

“What is your relationship with the Holy Spirit” strikes me as such a strange question for a Christian to ask another Christian.
A lot of this was turning things back on Mike.
@@RCGWhoI agree. I thought Mike was really charitable to compliment John. It seems like John is trying to catch him and defend Hinn the whole interview.
Also, the incredibly patronizing “I don’t want to rile you up…”
It’s really not. It’s like asking “how’s your walk with Christ?” It’s basically the exact same question.
@@timothyogwynn3410 Right. He wasn't even upset when he said that.
@@skylerharris3914Not really. The Holy Spirit is the one who enables a relationship with Christ. You might as well ask someone who’s breathing if they have lungs. It’s a really dumb premise.
The clarity of your speech is incomparable. Thank you for your ministry.

Mike since I discovered your channel I have truly appreciated how thorough, biblical, authentic and most of all KIND you are. When I say kind, I don’t mean sappy, I mean when you come to the hard parts of scripture or ministry you are forthright and kind to speak the truth expecting God to do His own work through His Spirit. Thanks for being KIND.
I stumbleled upon this channel while traveling back to Maine from Ohio last year. You seem so sincere that I listened for several months before I got pulled away. But here I am again
Praying for you and your family Mike Winger. Thank you for all your work to help the body of Christ. You are a blessing.
Mike, I absolutely LOVE your approach and the balance you bring to the Christian faith!! You are a bridge bringing together two extreme camps. You are a timely gift to the Church! Blessings on you and your family…peace and divine protection from the Holy Spirit over you!!
Such a good interview. Charisma gave you a great platform and respect to explain your position.
After watching your Benny Hinn video I searched for examples of repentance in the Word and came first to Jeremiah, a perfect book to me about forgiveness and true repentance, and God's desire to forgive and show mercy.
Jeremiah also a great book about false prophets etc.
To me, repentance comes with anguish, heartbreaking sorrow before God as we see and are confronted by the darkness of our sin before a holy God. It's painful, and my experience conviction and repentance go deep and is not over quickly.
I mean, a quick, I'm sorry I sinned, I'm forgiven, let's continue on.
I'm praying for you Mike, I'm 74, this has been entrenched in the church for decades -- this type of thing has gone unchallenged.
🙏❤️ God bless you, we are praying for you.
We all need to pray for those God is using to expose everything that is false in the church.
✝️❤️🙏
I lived in Kenya for a few years in my twenties and it really put me off of Christianity. I had always been a spiritual person but seeing the predatory nature of the church there sickened me. Prosperity ministry TV channels are pumped into the country. So it's all Joyce Meyer, creflo dollar, Joel osteen et al. Give money to go to heaven. Give money to get rich. Give money to save your loved ones. Give money to become a prophet. And so on. A country full of people with no money were being squeezed by the church for what little they had by these ministries in the guise of missionaries and local priests. It was truly evil. I left Kenya 13 years ago and it is only in the last year that my heart was opened again to the concept of congressional Christianity and it's through hearing and seeing conduits of such grace and humility as you mike. You are a beacon of what Christianity should be and I thank you for it.

This is the second time that I've watched, the first one was from charisma, and this one is of course from your CZcams channel.
very impressive eye opening both times. the body of Christ does need healing I hope those that are guilty truly repent.
I appreciate you Mike taking the time to do the first 4 hour video and then also to do this interview God bless you brother.
Great additional clarity, Mike.
I am angry. As a child I went to see Benny Hinn at one of his 1st meetings in public at the Orlando Fairgrounds. He was calling people out by name & healings were happening. I was Baptist & had never seen anything like this. I have followed him now for 30+ years. I gave, I believed him & everything he said & now...I feel so stupid. I've given up on it & don't even go to church or even read the Bible.
He convinced me he was a person who heard the Lord & saw visions & was able to heal people because Jesus used him. I honestly don't know how much I gave to his ministry. Everytime he said give this much money & God will watch over you, protect you & heal you & your family- I believed him!
Then I heard his nephew talk about the inner workings & I felt as if I had been completely lied to all these years. I feel broken- that I allowed someone to use the Bible to manipulate me. 😢
I truly believed this man, he convinced me at a young age & I grew up believing everything he said, watching him on tv & going to the events.
I even blamed myself for years, that if I had got my sister-in-law to a Benny Hinn crusade while he was in Orlando, she would not have died of cancer.
I blamed myself cause I knew she would have been healed & I was trying to figure out a way to take her on a stretcher to the crusade.
Never again will I be manipulated by any pastor, teacher, or evangelist, ever again. 😢
I never cared for Benny's style--to each their own. But, lately he's truly become an obvious fraud. No real humility.
He always has been a fraud.
Only “lately”? 😮
I truly appreciate this interviewer, who seems to feel bad that they even gave BH a platform. He gave Mike tremendous leeway & opportunity. Great job, both of you!
It might not be about bringing B. Hinn down but it is definitely about thwarting evil and harm to the vulnerable ones, which is noble and an obligation.
What a tremendous interview! You did great at being balanced and not at all defensive! The interviewer, of course, was postured to protect Charisma in/from their endorsement of Benny Hinn (et al) all these years and though they subliminally tried to ‘put you on trial’ you answered so well. 👏 👏 👏 TY for gravity and sensibility. You were very articulate in your critique of the chicanery of these supported and propagated manipulations. Charisma has utilized these that participate in these types of things and added their endorsement over time and overall by their refusal to expose any of these types of ministries/ministers over the years. These manipulators and ‘Christian Showmen’ have enabled them to stay afloat as a business bringing stories of the charismatic Pentecostal community w/o a biblical measurement for their continued support.
Have you ever listened to Costi Hinn? He’s Benny’s nephew who used to work closely with Benny and is now a pastor who speaks out against the false practices of his Uncle Benny.
He mentioned him in his 4hr Benny Hinn video.
@@SD-fh7rj thanks for letting me know that’s great
Enjoyed this interview very much.
Mike, I have prayed that you would stay gracious in this.
Praise God, I believe you are!
Wow- GREAT clarifying interview! Impressive exchange- thank you for doing the interview and sharing the link.
I saw the interview the other day. I was surprised they did as good of a job as they did. You did well!
I’m sorry for your loss, I list my wife of 27 years to cancer , so I understand somewhat of your pain, however by Christs words you cannot loathe him. You must forgive him as loathing him will hinder your walk with the Lord. We had many believers pray for her healing and got proved every doctor wrong in their diagnosis however she went to be with the Lord after 28 months of her battle. But please pray and seek as forgiveness is non negotiable with the Lord so forgive Benny and move forward in your walk with the Savior.Christ. !!!
Benny needs to respond like Zacchaeus responded to Jesus.
Great interview, thank you Mike for highlighting the dangers in Hinns ministry. Don’t back down keep on doing what your doing, standing for truth.
That awkward pause when Mike asked, "what is he repenting of?" 😅
Fantastic follow up to your first video. Wonderful defense of your accusations and compassionate calling out a false teacher. Love your work Mike. Thank you. No one does it better.
I think John did a good job….but obvious Charisma put another guy on the job so Strang didn’t have to.
Mike, you are a man of incredible integrity and I respect you and how you approach everything biblically. Thank you for all you do and how you care for the body of Christ.
Mike, I'm not sure what I appreciate more about you, the depth and diligence with which you research and present biblical analysis, or the humility and grace you exhibit even when you express critical views of the teachings of people like Benny Hinn and Joel Olsteen. I think of two scriptures demonstrated by you consistently: Study to show yourself approved... And, speak the truth in love. If only these qualities were present in a greater percentage of pastors and teachers, false teachers would have no place. Thank you for your ministry.
Thank you for continuing to fight this important fight, sir. And for shouting out Chris Rosebrough, Steve Kosar, and Justin Peters ✌🏻
Absolutely loved your explanation of the gospel Mike ❤
Thank you,Mike. W all the WOF I’ve dealt w in my walk. I’m SO grateful for you. You’ve helped me to find balance in the mess. Truly grateful for your ministry.
What a wonderful interview! I am so happy that others in Charisma's viewing area will see the true word being spoken!
