IN his latest video entitled "Kenneth Hagin and THE SPIRIT OF THE SERPENT"
Pentecostal pastor Joseph Chambers shows footage of Hagin (the person whom Hinn calls "daddy Hagin") preaching at a meeting in late 1997 and claiming that, in the early days of his "ministry", he saw many un-usual manifestations, including a person being levitated and another walking off the end of an altar and standing suspended in mid air. Such performances are more akin to magical acts associated with the occult as described in the Deuteronomy passage referred to above than with Christian teaching and practice. In Christianity in Crisis (pgs 331-337) Hank Hanegraaff reports and carefully documents Hagin's early links with the metaphysical teachings of E.W. Kenyon, whose works he plagiarised and through which he has pro-foundy influenced Pentecostals & Charismatics since 1938. Sixty years is a long time and they have taken their toll. The video shows Kenneth Hagin's tongue, as he preaches, slithering in and out like a serpent, as he hisses and laughs; people slithering from their seats as they watch and listen to Hagin; and then Kenneth Copeland joining the foray. It's amazing stuff!

Instead of obeying the Scriptures to keep away from these evil practices a large section of the so called Church has hungered for and encouraged them and now we are reaping the consequences. Benny Hinn with his necromancy has become guest speaker at some of the largest Christian Conferences in the world. He and his teaching have infected entire denominations. There are only two possible remedies. The leaders who have allowed and promoted these things MUST repent and turn from it and it must be done publicly; or in the interests of your own spiritual welfare YOU MUST cut yourself off from the infected parts.
