Benny Hinn is Coming to China

This is a warning for those living anywhere near the Beijing and Shanghai areas. Benny Hinn is coming to China in December. Here is an excerpt from an interview in which he announced his visit.

The following comes from an article by CharismaMagazine titled, “Benny Hinn: The Anointing Is Still in Operation.”

Hinn: Doors are swinging open. I’m going to China, by the way, if you can believe it. I’ve been invited to preach in two cities, Shanghai and Guangzhou, in January. India has opened up big. I’m going to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in December, and they’re expecting massive crowds. And Africa. Dear God! The invitations I’m getting now for Africa can keep me there probably the whole year.

The prosperity gospel is a major problem confronting China. For those remotely near Beijing and Shanghai, be aware of the potential consequences resulting from Hinn’s visit. As a major spokesman for the prosperity gospel, he may renew interest and enthusiasm for health and wealth oriented theologies.

Here is a post by Trevin Wax that some may find helpful: “Are You Equipped to Respond to the Prosperity Gospel?”

Bruce Ashford, over at Between the Times, suggests a book Health, Wealth & Happiness: Has the Prosperity Gospel Overshadowed the Gospel of Christ?.
