12 years ago I said exactly the same thing about Hillsong in the UK 🇬🇧 and I told my leaders (at the time) that God will expose evil in this ministry sooner or later. I look now at what is going on in this false ministry and I thank God for blessing me with the spirit of discernment. Staff from Hillsong treated me like I was a demon trying to discourage ppl and manipulate them to leave their ministry because I was always the one paying attention and pointing out their contradictions against the Bible, taking scriptures out of context to fit their own agenda. The connect groups I attended was so humiliating to me, they would shame you if you don’t tithe to the church or the connect group. I was a college student at the time, I didn’t always have money with me. It was a horrible experience there But I blamed myself as well for staying all these years in this false church because at the time I was feeling lonely, all my “friends” were in this church. I stayed 3 years at Hillsong for the wrong reasons. But I’ve learned my lesson. For those Ppl out there who have been brainwashed and are still supporting Hillsong listen up, you’re not a victim, you’re going into the same direction this organisation is going, to Destruction. Open your eyes!

[@raptorz19]

I can relate and agreed to what you said. I used be part of Hillsong U.K. for 5 years and I saw a lot of red flags on that church. The problem about people who are on Mega Churches or even small churches is they have no Discernment. People go there for wrong reasons instead of seeking Christ. They claim to be christians and loved God but they are friend with the world (James 4:4) in other words they are lukewarm christians (Revelation 3:16) The worst part is there are so many False Teachers out there and Hillsong is one of them! They perverted the Gospel. And most importantly you never hear Hillsong preach about Sin, Hell, Repentance and true Discipleship of God. All you hear is lovely dovey feel good message to tickle your ears. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

[@kevinschaefer3945]

Oh praise you!

[@yahnessaYasharaal6777]

@@raptorz19 True! Discernment is key! We can’t always avoid evil and deception from the ppl of this world but discernment can definitely help us determine whether the presence of God is present in a ministry or in a person! 1 John 4:1 I can smell deception from a distance, that’s why I have very few friends (I can count them only in one ✋🏽) Yes I agree ppl go to these mega churches for the wrong reasons (I was one of them because I was not fully matured and obedient to God). God sometimes bless us with discernment but many of us like to ignore this gift because of the distractions of this world! But I’ve grown so much and learned my lesson. My experience at Hillsong made me realise that true children of God can’t serve two masters “GOD & MONEY” for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Matthew 6:24. Hillsong loves Money Hillsong Loves Fame Hillsong Loves the World

When Jesus wrote letters to the Churches in the book of revelations He first pointed out the good things that the Churches are doing and thereafter pointed things that He dislike. He encouraged those in the Church that are holding on to the faith to continue to endure until He comes back. He never said leave the Church. If this Pastor is one of those who are holding to the faith he needs to steer the sheep to the right direction. It seems that he has been working on starting his own church and now use this opportunity as an excuse. He's been working on this long time ago. I hope money is not what is motivating him because it is also going to be exposed.

Do not build your church on lying bibles. The bible has been changed. Did God say? Come on, really? God said He preserved His word. Psalm 12:6-7. Most modern bibles do not. In other words they are not admitting that God has a standard, His inspired word. His word is quick (alive) and quickens (gives life). His word is eternal. Most of the modern bibles have at least one out and out lie. NKJB lies in Exodus 6:3. They began to call on the name of the Lord in Genesis 4:26. Others quote Jesus telling his brothers, i am not going to the feast. John 7:8. (Is he saying he is going to break the law of Moses?) He waits and then goes. Liar! BLASPHEMY . Jesus simply said, not going now, not yet. He waits and then goes. No problem, no lie. And blatantly they mock Jesus and unashamedly, constantly, with each change ask, Did God say? Did God say Mark 11:26? Absolutely. It is an essential part of our walk with God. A verse that makes us tremble was added????? Did God say? Acts 15:34? It shows God's divine providence. Silas was there when Paul needed him for a journey. Obviously Silas remained there. BRAZENLY, they change or remove a word that gives the believers true power! Matthew 12:31 and Mark 9:29! Some spiritual warfare needs prayer and fasting! Did God say eleven (11) times in the New Testament the word damnation, eternal burning? Yes. But not in theirs! Did God say? Did God give three witnesses to that truth? Mark 9:44, 46, 48. They however only have v48. The other two they ask, Did God say? This is important because we need to know the truth and those who preach Annialism, we cease to exist, are easily proven wrong with these verses. Jesus is God and Jesus is Man. Hebrews supports this with four verses, 3:3, 7:24, 8:3 and 10:12: "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sin for ever, sat down at rhe right hand of God; v10:12. They do not use the clarifying words 'this man' at all. Again, Did God say? Every change they make is an insult to God and His word. God said He would curse those who add to or take from His word. Revelation 22:18-19. In the Old Testament those who honored a false prophet received the reward of that prophet. So the Alexandrian translators, the bible societies the publishers, the promoters, sellers and those who teach from them (showing those ear tickling bibles as God's word) or honor them will be held responsible. If done ignorantly, repent. God will not be mocked. This happened when the inspired Antioch manuscripts called the Textus Receptus were replaced by the Alexandrian manuscripts called the Codex B or the Vaticanus from the Vatican basement, and the Sianiticus from a monestary. They do not agree with each other and the latter has about 30 changes per page. Obviously inspired by their spiritual father who brings conflict, frustration, despair and DOUBT.

So my question is what was the scandal ⁉️📿🍒🍑🍓🤔🥂🥂🍾but may he be blessed 🙏

[@greglewis9904]

Joyce I might be wrong but I thought John wrote the book of Revelations.

[@joycekumalo2848]

Dear Greg. Read Revelations 1 verse 9 to 19. It will give you all the answers. God bless.

[@greglewis9904]

@@joycekumalo2848 thanks and God bless.

He is not the first black pastor on the Hillsong international group.

[@stormyahu9790]

He's not a hillsong pastor anymore!

[@lornaparsons9767]

Dont just change your church name as a lot of churches seem to do here in NZ, LET GOD CHANGE YOUR HEARTS , ,stop hiding behind pious religiousity , and start to be real we are all sinners saved by GRACE and that includes Leadership as well!! HUMBLE YOURSELVES UNDER THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD AND HE WILL LIFT YOU UP IN DUE TIME! ( NOT MONEY, NOT POPULARITY, NOT SUPERIORITY, NOT UNREPENTED LIVING , NOT GIFT OF THE GAB, NOT WHO YOU MAY BE RELATED TOO!! NOT BECAUSE GOD GAVE YOU A GREAT SINGING VOICE, NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CHARMING SMILE, DRESS COOL, OR LOOK LIKE YOU JUST STEP OUT OF H(F)OLLYWOOD , ITS BEING H U M B L E , IN HEART, MIND, SPIRIT, ACTIONS ,DEEDS, THOUGHTS, PERSONALITY , LIFE, EXISTENCE, BREATHE, !! (Just to mention a few words that mayhelp!! )) lets be REAL ,living AS JESUS CHRIST DID STRAIGHT UP , OBEDIENT TO DEATH ON A CROSS,(Galatians 2 v20 ) Its no longer I (You or me) who live BUT CHRIST WHO LIVES !!, in me (you) and the life i(you) now live i (you) live by FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD WHO LOVED me (you) and DIED FOR me (you) AMEN .Even though a person may demonstrate unususal gifts they should not be acknowledged as leaders unless they also manifest the fruit of the spirit, (gal 5 v22 ) T he true test is in the fruits.

Now we know he's just another example of Pastors living double lives.

“People don’t come to church for scandal, they come for a safe space” 😳😳😳😳😲👉🏽🤭👉🏽LEAVE THIS FALSE CHURCH!!

[@Jonathan-kf1fs]

Why?

[@juliewhyte122]

The Truth is I go to church for JESUS CHRIST our precious LORD and SAVIOUR who sacrificed Himself on the Cross for our sins. I go to Church to give Praise and Worship to JESUS. He is so worthy of Praise and Worship. Amen 🙏

[@Al-Cohol999]

Romans 3:25 All have sinned and fallen short if the glory of God (doesn't say Jesus was excluded in this)

[@jamesneary1982]

He is not the 1st black pastor in the global network. There are at least 2 or more that were before him that I know of. Anyway, why does it matter?

[@user-ce9xe1qe8i]

Damn it's one after the other

[@MrColmarino]

So is he opening a new denomination??? Jeez, thats so "protestantant" of him . Last I heard a count there are about 45k denominations now. You know how many catholic church there are since the Roman empire? Only one.

[@CrosbyStill]

Please dont judge a church by its size! Many christians feels proud when they belong to a big church with nice musicians (talented) on stage belting out nice beautiful songs on stage week after week and they think this must be a good church and God must be behind it (especially with the obvious success - based on human standards) and frown on those small church with a small congregation and substandard worship music played by substandard musicians which in their opinion are church not blessed by God. I do hear even from pastor of a big church (but not mega) who told me that a particular small church is struggling and not growing because its not blessed by God...We tend to equate "growing church" as God behind it while those "not growing church" as not. These false mega churches are growing in numbers so does that make them "true church"? Well we all know the answers from this Hillsongs news and there are many more out there who are still growing n kicking but we know their "fruits"... I prefer to stick to small church where fellowship and relationship are more authentic. I have experience both and I know the difference.

[@andylowe2725]

Let me guess? Sex and Money. Wow, what a surprise!

[@jackiebourg6869]

YOU NEED TO REPENT Mr Pastor Collier! Raping girls are NOT MISTAKES. I can see you have a lot of things to repent of. GOD IS NOT MOCKED.

[@Al-Cohol999]

Good cannot do evil. Evil can and will do good when it suits it's purposes.

[@getachewyantenneger5864]

He looks guilty .

[@ibg4216]

False doctrine and false prophets. God will always expose them. Read the bible. It’s all there. You CANNOT MOCK GOD!!

[@doveofgrace]

For years I’ve been warning people about Hillsong, Bethel, and Elevation. Also, people need to stay away from any ARC churches. What people see on television these days is not Christianity, and what’s going on in these mega-churches is not church.

[@Kill6ixBillionDemons]

I knew that this hillsong thing was a flop

[@loissemanek1715]

Power can corrupt. This church looks like big business

[@Pr3ussisch]

I think leaving Hillsong is a mistake.

[@dalrynvancuylenberg6447]

All you crooks step down.

[@WillieR3]

The fact that you have the label of being the first “black” anything in church leadership is a huge red flag to me.

[@adebowalegbenga4316]

I think he has always had this in mind all along, he just saw his chance and took it. Very pathetic! This is the time Hillsong Church needs you the most. You just failed, are you a Saint?

[@Al-Cohol999]

Christianity and Islam both are slave religions. Can you believe in a religion of slaves. Matthew 6:24

[@k3of5ks]

Notice no mention of sin. Brian Houston “made a mistake.” Flee from these seeker sensitive churches who water down the gospel. Find a sound biblical church that points to Jesus and teaches the Bible.

[@elizabethmadron1336]

People did not learn from Jim and Tammy. LOL. SHEEEPLE! Herd mentality. Think for yourself. Always be a skeptic. Question everything.

[@infinitechurch470]

Is he using the same location for "his" own church? At whose cost if I may ask? I assume the venue isn't his personal property. Is he changing the name of the church because of the scandal associated with the founder? Is this betrayal or opportunism?

[@pvcrum]

both, sadly

[@Delusionalcry]

Perhaps it's holy spirit driven. All those loyal to Brian H don't know him.

[@turdferguson1567]

Atlanta+church =🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nathanielaustin1420]

[@elainepelzer9845]

ALSO HILLSONG HAVE AN VERY DEGRADING PUBLIC NEWS WRITTEN ABOUT THEM. They don't preach the Gospel anyway, no sincerity about them and they really cannot sing. It's a good thing GOD is moving You from the corrupt embarrassment, it's shocking! Some of people look GODLY, but lifestyle sinful. GOD BLESS I really hope this PASTOR can receive these messages to encourage him. Sincerely Yours,

[@cassandragarcia5548]

Stealing sheep to start a new church....hmmmmm!
