In the photocopy someone gave me from the book "Blessing or Curse," the author listed that contacting the dead as demonic. Also, I read in "Joy Unspeakable" by JI Packer, that we should never lift experience or what we think the Holy Spirit tells us over what is written in the Bible. The three of the Godhead each having three divisions? No, The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are three, not nine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQKCMl2XzTs.

In the photocopy, the author also states that playing hypnotic music is demonic. There are many preachers who do that. For example, it’s usually played at communion in many church services. The music in this sermon is an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3jo0ULekn8&feature=related. At least that’s what I believe to be hypnotic music. I used to use that kind of music to help me go to sleep and stay asleep through the racket of noisy neighbors. Those of you familiar with my condition can see why I experimented to find a treatment since what I have is beyond medical science and religion.

Another time, he places a curse on people who question his ministry: Hear David Wilkerson speak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN8y5o272zo. See the referred to footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry1SHI7mkQA.

Another time, he makes false prophecies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg-fyrNwOG0. They play the audio, but not the video — that’s suspicious. I wonder if Hinn really made those predictions about Castro and the homosexuals.

You’ll know them by their fruit — look how he lives: http://ca.netlog.com/go/explore/videos/videoid=551880. And if that sounds made up, here’s a video interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2tSlXq2wz4.

What does God have to say about all this? His scripture is clear. Here’s the sermon answering the issue of falling down while under hypnosis, demonic attack and the real thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhiDfD1S5ww. A quote Tim Conway referred to was this: here’s the footage of Hinn talking about taking a machine gun to people: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zv5yBV6bRU. and what he said before that statement here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2becyRCK6LU&NR=1.

First, you need to draw a line between "worship" and "follow".
Then, you have followers - who mainly feel he is led by the Spirit.
While each person believes a little differently, those who are involved in Spirit-led practice feel certain leaders are as well … a bit like Catholics believe about their Pope.
Still, most followers will readily admit the leaders are human and given to error.
Why they believe what that believe is something you can’t copy - and so, can’t understand.
It is probably better that they believe something - after all, we can’t all be intelligent enough to walk without supposed, imagined, real but needed guidance.
Once a person is broken enough times, they reach for something stronger.
Thus Hinn - or Graham - or any number of our exalted gurus serve as a conduit to answers … not as the answers themselves.
Since all the people can’t be right all the time, let them believe as they will so long as it leads to a better walk.
