On behalf of Costi Hinn and our entire team here at For the Gospel, thank you for your partnership on this, Cultish, and Mike Winger. Keep up the great work! - For the Gospel

[@debbie_LJ]

I thank God for Costi and Mike! They were the first two I stumbled on when I was questioning my WOF pastor!

[@TheCultishShow]

Thank you, Costi . This is a complete blessing and an amazing act of Providence.!

[@kryptic8956]

I was raised heavily in the WoF background. Thank you for taking a stand against WoF where it seems like so many preachers are afraid too. The strange fire series changed my life.

[@lostinvictory8526]

WoF with Benny and his like was a major factor in the breakdown of my "Christian" marriage. I feel sorry for you Costi when you read the prophecies about false teachers and deceivers and realize that your beloved uncle is who God had in mind when he inspired that. It can hit you like a ton of bricks when you realize a loved one is obviously on a path to damnation. And I say beloved because he is beloved by God and his family. It takes a great man to do what your uncle does and so he is easily loved for those qualities, but unfortunately he has allowed greed and selfishness to triumph in his life. I once felt God's grief over Jim Jones would you believe.

[@danschuessler8515]

Great conversation, I grew up in the Orlando area during this season we always thought it was weird to see a pastor drive around in a Jaguar and have the level of living he had. It was my first experience with these types of teachers, especially what Mike talks about. My friend’s mom emptied her savings to give to the ministry and my friend who was not a Christian was so confused on why she had to do this.

[@gregcowan7]

Mike Winger is my favourite non-reformed guy. Such a good dude.

[@lindaphilippi507]

Calvinists have hijacked the word "reformed ". All Protestants are reformed because we're not Catholic!! But not all Protestants are Calvinists.

[@thestraightroad305]

I really think highly of Mike too. Gracious, humble, and skillful.

[@PaDutchRunner]

He’s excellent. It’s almost better that he’s not reformed - it makes his apologetic more effective when attempting to communicate with folks who have an anti-reformed bias.

[@vicki4886]

I was saved by God in a Catholic confessional in 1973. I eventually left the Catholic church. Now I'm reformed baptist. God is sovereign.

[@melaniehughes8909]

As a reformed Baptist do you believe in Calvinism and replacement theology? I don't remember this in the Baptist church growing up and I don't agree

[@oliviaedralin1436]

[@nonyabidness5708]

Unrelated but related... In July 2023, I attended a conference in KY that Cultish participated in through teaching. I was a very emotionally damaged skeptic from being raised and abused in a cult like church. Found some healing by making friends with others who had similar experiences and I'm still in contact with them. One of the people/resources mentioned was Mike Wenger and I'm 99.9% sure that Cultish made the reference as a safe/good resource. I started listening to Mike whose YT videos helped answer a number of my questions. I still have a lot of healing and a long way to go, but I became a professing Christian on October 31, 2023. I'm so grateful for the work you are all doing... you ARE making a difference! You are all part of God's work of healing the brokenhearted and binding up their wounds - helping church trauma victims by acknowledging the abuse (and providing next steps for recovery) is so critical. Thank you for your labor of love and for ultimately pointing people to Christ and what holy leadership looks like in action.

[@eileenjared]

Praise Jesus for His redeeming love, mercy and grace 🙌 Thank you for sharing

[@thestraightroad305]

What a wonderful story. God is good, so good.

[@graysontheovercomer]

I really love that Mike and Costi act like they are best buds, and have a sincere brotherhood, even as Costi is a calvinist and cessationist, and Mike is a charismatic and non calvinist. This is true Christian Unity, agreeing on the most important things, agreeing to disagree on lesser things, and standing firm, shoulder to shoulder, against heresy and falsehood. I am so thankful for these two brothers.

[@landongonzales9076]

Holy moly, Mike winger on cultish? This is a clash of worlds that I am very pleased to see.

If not for Mike and Costi, I'm not sure I'd have made it out of Word-of-faith, or it a minimum, it may have taken a lot longer! Praise God for both of them💗🙏💗🕊

[@rachelwilson9382]

When I first came to know the Lord, it was in a "non-denominational" church that loved Benny Hinn. As a baby Christian I trusted my pastor and thought Binny was great. It was when my dad (who was always a Christian) freaked out and had me watch American Gospel that I started to see. When I brought my concerns to my pastor, he told me I was being sinful by not having faith and that American Gospel was baptist propaganda. I left that church shortly after and have never gone back. I'm so thankful for God's guidance to apologetics and the Truth of the gospel

[@zachariahbuckmaster6611]

"Baptist propaganda" that also has Presbyterians in the film haha I love it

[@jonahhanson38]

​@@zachariahbuckmaster6611The film also had Lutheran's in it.

[@ohifonlyx33]

Yikes I go to a nondenominational church simply because we want to make sure we are beholden to the Bible rather than any human doctrine. And that's why we would NEVER teach Benny Hinn's blasphemy.

[@Michael_Chandler_Keaton]

​@@ohifonlyx33Yeah, from the denominations; you're welcome. Men from denominations died so that we might have the Bible and be guided by it. Denominations are formed because good Christians disagree about doctrines that don't have the same level of clarity as the central tenets of the faith. The denominations exist because of much Biblical labor.

[@ohifonlyx33]

@@Michael_Chandler_Keaton i didn't say i am opposed to denominations. I work at a Lutheran school for Pete's sake. You don't need to get all snippy. I'm very aware of history. Aware enough to realize that tradition and good intentions can become corrupted. I value a lot of traditions, but I hold to God's word FIRST. But I don't have any problem if a church has a denomination. Affliation and identification are good reasons to have a denomination. That's why I said that literally the ONLY reason I'm technically/barely nondenominational is because of 1 human issue. That doesn't mean i don't appreciate the ongoing work of saints. So maybe chill. I wasn't being hostile. If anything, I was pointing out one of the downsides of being nondenom and saying please don't think all nondenom are as bad as that one.

[@aubrey1995]

I’ve been hoping Mike and Costi would have a conversation together. This is an even better collab than I wanted. So good. Thank you guys for putting this together.

[@AlecEagon]

Mike and Costi set an incredible example here for how to lovingly and responsibly discuss such issues without ironically exuding the same pride and self-aggrandizement as the people you are calling out. Sadly, I've witnessed far too much of that from the heresy-hunting crowd. Thank you guys for being solely accountable to Christ, not just in that you would speak the truth, but also in that you would want the spirit and manner with which you did so to model Christ's humility as well.

[@aubrey1995]

In my opinion, Costi is one of the most humble men/pastors I’ve ever heard. And it’s true humility too. It’s so refreshing.

[@MicheMoffatt]

I went to a Benny Hinn service in Nashville, Tennessee. We waited in line for a long time. Inside it was filled to the max. We ended up in the back high up. The service went just like was described by Costi. It was a big production.

[@MichaelCTruth]

I think I was there. It was a show for sure.

[@gracew4194]

@@lynnrussom5761All due respect but, I disagree. Mike's channel is not a discernment ministry. He mostly does Bible study and taking ppl's questions about the Bible but once in a while if he feels led he'll do a video to expose someone or something dark. As the Bible directs us to do. (Ephesians 5:11) As far as Bill Johnson goes, he has basically said that early on he was trying to give someone that he didn't know that much about the benefit of the doubt but now that he is more familiar with Bill Johnson he has called him out several times. Give his channel another shot. You might be surprised. God bless you 🙏😊

I’m reading Costi Hinns book ‘God, greed and the prosperity gospel’ (35 pages in and it’s fantastic very easy read but written like he’s right there chatting with you about his first hand experience) every Christian should be aware of this false teaching that’s so prevalent in the world

[@debbie_LJ]

One of the 1st books I got when I came to truth!

[@b.eunice]

That book is so beautiful and I think it should recommended to all Christian’s to read. I got a copy when I visited his church last summer and read it and I felt so sad, but also joyful to see the Lord’s providence for Costi and his wife.

The background Costi is giving, on his uncle and how he started, is very telling!

[@dianaflower940]

The problem is, that was then. Benny himself has addressed the things of the past and repented. He doesn't move that way anymore. And it's sad to see things already been address for the last 20 years still being dredged up. But i guess the opinions of people like myself, don't matter lol

[@dreamysol]

⁠@@AshleyKristyenIt’s not just the past when he is literally still manipulating people for money and spreading a false gospel. Also he needs to be held accountable for all of his fake healings. He has hurt so many people and has not faced the consequences of his actions. You can’t say that he repented when he’s literally being called out for lying about that and for deceiving people again for money… I don’t know why so many of y’all (benny hinn fans) are jumping to defend him, it’s like y’all are trying to silence his victims and that is disgusting. If his own nephew is calling him out, why would you even try to defend him?

[@josephwhite8850]

@@AshleyKristyenhe’s still teaching prosperity garbage

[@AshleyKristyen]

@@dreamysol I've seen family do worse to each other for less, so i've learned not base "truth" on things like that. I mean hello, Cain killed Abel because of his own insecurity - and you can't take that and say it was justified lol. BUT - the issue of fake healings, that's one I haven't heard, so I will look into that. Because I have no problem saying I don't know something, and being willing to find out. However, a false Gospel, I haven't heard him preach anything false in a while, but again, that's based on my relationship with the Lord and my own cross referencing when he teaches. That's my opinion, not fact. So i'm not saying what I'm thinking is truth. Again, I'm open to look and really listen to what he says. However, one thing I would like *kindly* suggest -- trying to explain something to someone and saying that by me believing something is the equivalent of me trying to silence a group of people, isn't going to generally get people to be willing to hear what you have to say. But thank you for pointing those things out. I appreciate it.

[@sarahtravels]

I first saw Benny on TV as a new teenage Christian almost 30 years ago. I would watch him pretty regular on TBN. I was discipled in a Biblically based solid church and I was reading my Bible all the time. So that helped me grow in my faith in a healthy way. I wish I could go back and watch him, I really don't remember him saying you will be blessed as a result of giving him money. I was a baby Christian so its likely I missed it. I also attended one of the arena meetings talked about. I remember him taking up only one offering and again my memory was he said "this is for the gospel" and also he talked about some charity he founded that he gives part of the money too. I would have been one of those who said he started out good and went off. I had no idea how nefarious he has been for soooo long. I gave up on defending him or following him about a decade a go, due to his extravagant lifestyle, that has been reinforced in my mind by listening to Costi on For the Gospel. But again I had no idea how bad it was and how deep his influence is. Thank you Mike for your work and thank you cultish for bringing this to the light.

[@ReLair88]

This is so important--thank you! I went to a Benny Hinn meeting in San Jose in the late 90s and no one came up on the stage and said they were healed. After the meeting, the friend I went with said, "Wow, that was so powerful." I wondered if we had been at the same meeting. I just thought Benny Hinn had worked his magic on my friend. I was used to the Lord doing quite a few miraculous things in my life and in others, so I actually thought Benny Hinn was doing real healings. I didn't know about the money side of it, until years later when I heard about his lavish lifestyle. With all that has come out about Mike Bickle and now this, it seems the Lord is doing something for and in His Church.

[@journeygentil1512]

Man, just listening to Costi explain how the Crusade would work made me cry. I have suffered from epilepsy for most of my life, and to hear how manipulative these things are for people like me who want nothing more than to be healed from their pain/illnesses just makes me sick and angry. I pray that Benny will be humbled, truly repent, and completely give his heart to the Lord.

I made a comment under Mike's post about how I was afraid the enemy was making him obsessed with this issue to throw other people off of his ministry, and I feel very embarrassed about that post now. at the end of the day its not my business. We all have our orders from God about what we should be doing. I should have minded my own orders.

[@RambleChristianPodcast]

@@Shofargirl1 I can see how my comment might make it seem like I meant not to go after false teachers, I only meant I should mind my business about what a brother in the Lord does in his own ministry. I think I got used to sharing my opinion on social media sites, if you're talking about what goes better on a pizza that's fine, but when it comes to someone's life and ministry, as long as they aren't going against God, then I am trying to learn to shut my mouth lol

[@christinefernandez559]

That was very humble for you to share and apologize. The LORD is your shepherd and He is teaching you. God is helping us to truly love our neighbor. "Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good." Romans 12:9 Love takes courage, love is wise, is not self seeking, love warns, love tells the truth. What "Christianity" has been doing is not not love or wise. We've been "trained" in such a crooked manner. Sounds like your path is being made straight:) "And the LORD make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you" 1 Thessalonians 3:12 "The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved." 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 @RambleChristianPodcast

This conversation needed to be had. I hope and pray that it opens peoples eyes. There will always, sadly, be those that choose pastors that tickle their ears, and tell them want they want to hear. And sadly, when it all goes wrong for some, and they do realise they've been decieved. There will be those that blame God rather than blame Benny Hinn, or others like him. And rather than taking some personal accountability in some cases. We all need to read the word of God for ourselves, so that we are not easily decieved. God bless you all.

[@patriciamccool5243]

Thank you guys for this. I was in the WOF movement for a long time. I remember being at Christ For The Nations Institute back in the early 90s. Mr Hinn spoke at several evening services that as students we were all required to attend. I made sure I sat as far away from the stage as possible and stayed for only the minimum time required and left ASAP. For the 2 hours that I sat there, all he did was talk about money. He literally gave me the creeps. Of course I would never say anything but even back then, I was aware that something was wrong with the whole movement. Finally got out in 2003. PTL!!

[@zenobiashamrock5907]

I'm from South Africa & have always been aware of other African cultures (who would mostly call themselves christians) be into things that aren't biblical. But I always assumed it had more to do with their culture beliefs & not religion beliefs. I would have never thought that Benny had that much influence on them if I didn't see Mike's video. I was shocked as many South Africans don't even know who Benny is. I think more people should be made aware of this. I work with people from different cultures every day and having knowledge on this would help a lot with our relationships with people who believe in these teachings.

Am I the only one that had red flags raised when Costi talked about Benny being effeminate. I sincerely hope we don't hear about abuse cases after he dies like we did after Ravi died.

It just seemed over the top hatred which is common for preachers to be hardest on people who are involved in the sin they themselves are enslaved to. So sad...

This was an absolutely outstanding podcast. It adds another layer to the work Winger did.

[@josephatherton8757]

My history has been crisscrossed by these teachers and I’ve always questioned why I couldn’t receive, let alone healing, but even a feeling of the anointing. I used to think it was me and God was moving on everyone but me. I’m guessing that’s a common response to think ‘everyone else gets in but me’. I appreciate seeing this, because it’s real affirmation that I’m not crazy or the odd one out.

I appreciate what you all do in this. I was caught up in WOF for many years. It is hard to shed all of the false teaching all at once. It takes time and perseverance to learn truth. I am giving truth to WOF friends-so far so good 😊. They seem to be listening.

[@shelleymcgarry6383]

Great work all of you. Thank you all so much for.

[@mrsmelross]

This is a such a blessing to the body of Christ

[@cynthiajune2818]

Costi speaks of his uncle from a compassionate view.He sought to understand the root and foundation of why Benny does what he does. No judgement here.Just compassion and understanding.

[@jonyoung9408]

I have been to a Benny Hinn crusade probably 20 years ago with a christian school i was going to at the time and we were there for at least 4-5 hours and we left early long before the fireworks even really got started. It was as if they were wearing people down. That was my first that into... hey there's something not right here. I was a young teen about 14 at the time.

[@brianna_monique_williams]

Rod Parsley operates in quite the same fashion… - Thanks for exposing Benny Hinn in depth.

After two years in Egypt, i was surprised at how much the Christians there praised the likes of Benny Hinn and Reinhard Bonnke. It was very sad to see and hear. These guys are royalty to many African christians.

[@gz67]

don't associate Bonnke with Benny..they are worlds apart. Not even close. Bonnke is a real man of God, humble, awesome evangelist and lived like a normal man.

[@JBly4]

@@gz67 oh geez, you won't hear about one out there without the other. I'll tell you there are many things about Bonnke that you are unaware of. I'll leave it at that. Be good.

[@gz67]

@JBly4 I've been watching Bonnke since the 80s...so I know plenty about him.

[@ifeifesi]

​@@JBly4Bonnke is near deified in many parts of Africa but I suspect he may have been a charlatan as are many big 'celebrity' pastors that come to Africa from outside.

[@joshuapizarro3231]

@@JBly4chill Bonnke genuinely loved God and did His will. Not a scandal or anything of the sort ever appeared. Be careful bad mouthing Christians with no proof. Now Benny Hinn is definitely fair to rebuke.

[@MicahHumiston]

This is absoluetely amazing stuff!!! Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@colsonrivers]

Wow. What a blessing of a video to have these godly men speak to such a present destructive force. So grateful for your ministries!

[@LSax5631]

Exactly..the young girl was healed "in spite" of Benny, not because of. God honored her faith.

[@shellyk3472]

I GET THIS completely. I was raised in Christianity from my rebirth on the names of Benny Hinn, Kathryn Kuhlman, Jimmy Swaggart….etc,etc,etc. My own personal life had to rely on the Holy Spirit every day. Not the dreams of wishing I should be/could be as Godly and faithful and obedient as any of the above to work great for God.

[@jambox9919]

I want to be like Mike and Costi when i grow up. What great guys!

Awesome!! I Am Looking Forward To This!!!

25 years ago I attended Orlando Christian Center fully on board with everything Benny Hinn was selling. This was during his coat throwing times so lots of excitement and laughter as people were knocked down under the ‘power’. Well, he tossed his coat up into the choir and took out a dozen or so members. They just collapsed from the jacket touching them. Then one choir member picked the jacket up and tossed it back to Benny. He went down like a stone and the atmosphere instantly changed. Like the true God just showed up. Benny instantly confessed the error of playing with the ‘anointing’ and he sounded very contrite. Was it all staged? Maybe. But it started me thinking why Benny only considered it an affront to God because he was knocked down but not when he was knocking others down. That crack started my path out and I’m very thankful to the Lord for that. That Benny is still doing the same old tricks makes me very sad. I fear for him when he stands before Jesus and gives his account…

[@bestlife8709]

Jesus warned of many false, lying signs and wonders- people confuse them with the power of God- I mean what are they gonna do when the antichrist shows up calling down fire from heaven and raising the dead? Sadly, Revelation tells us exactly what they will do- they will be deceived.

[@keziahs5446]

Riveted listening to Costi Hinn reenact some of his Uncles crusades. So spot on. My husband and I served in a prosperity/healing ministry and sang with Jim Cernero and Steve Brock so when he mentioned them I went to my Facebook and sure enough realized I’m still Facebook friends with Jim 😂

[@lxyacht]

The wrestling analogies feel really correct. Benny really is living the gimmick. That full life in character improv.

[@CombatWombatQRF]

Great conversation! Thank you for hosting this

Now more than ever, us believers need to stand in Truth and follow God with everything we have.

[@markrichard3364]

In the early 90's when I was around 19 years old I was brought to a Benny Hinn crusade. I didn't like the way he looked or sounded. He had an accent that made it difficult for me to understand him. I had never heard of Benny Hinn or the term "slain in the Spirit." As I listened though, he was preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and of the gift of the Holy Spirit which appealed strongly to me because these were the things I have been reading about in the scriptures during the past few months. Then we began worshipping the Lord and I had never experienced or seen that level of worship ever before (I was thinking "The Lord is real to these people!"). Then as we worshipped Jesus Christ Benny Hinn stated "when I say now, the Spirit will enter into this room." All of the sudden I began to see people in the front rows fall back into their seats as if an invisible hand was sweeping through the auditorium. As I saw this, I remembered my father telling me that all Preachers are fake and only want your money. I said to myself "if this is not of God then I want no part of this" and I planted my feet and strengthened my stance as the man in the row in front of me fell back into his seat. Suddenly without no human being touching me or laying a hand on me, an invisible force slammed into my chest knocking me into my chair and then onto the floor. I had tears streaming down my face and understood for the first time that the Lord and His Spirit were more real than anything in this world and that all the words of Jesus the Son of God were true (John 14:21). 30 plus years later I'm following closer to the Lord than when I first began. This was my experience at one of Benny Hinn's Crusades.

[@JuliexSteadman]

..wow, thats interesting... my thoughts are that Benny Hinn moves in power but not the Holy Spirit but you are saying that you followed closer to the lord after so it must have been the Lord... You mean you walked in love and obedience more, after this experience...

[@markrichard3364]

@@JuliexSteadman I'm not saying anything other than what I've written. I'm hearing so much about people's experiences at Benny Hinn's crusade so I decided to share mine. People are free to judge my encounter with the Spirit of the Lord as they choose. As for me, it's worth more than anything else this world has had to offer...even 30 plus years later.

[@donnafloridia-qx8jx]

Yes I agree. This is an intervention of the Holy Spirit. Mike Winger came out with his video a week after my daughter broke the news to us that she is giving up her career and her position as worship leader to attend Benny Hinn’s teachings at JS in Orlando

[@gigahorse1475]

[@valeriehancock1724]

Oh dear! Please continue to pray and show her in scripture the false teaching of BH.

When Costi used to say he could replicate what Benny was doing I was sceptical and thought he sad overstating his abilities, but watching him impersonate Benny, I believe him 😅

Africa needs deliverance from prosperity preachers and ancestor worship.

[@ifeifesi]

They don't need 'deliverance, they need the Gospel of salvation from sin and not the prosperity crap they get.

[@belovedflorence4109]

By knowledge shall the righteous be delivered. But knowledge, is what they have kept away from us and gave us prosperity "gospel" and endless deliverances. They make money from useless deliverances, they will never stop, it is a business.

Thanks to Cultish, Mike Winger and Costi Hinn for telling us the truth!! Jesus said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life! Now that my eyes have been opened to the Truth (because of videos and people like these) I'm doing my best to reveal the truth, not "my truth" because there is only ONE, to others. Thanks again!!
