Benny Hinn has reportedly renounced the cultic teachings
of the Word-Faith movement.

According to a report on last Thursday's edition of "The
Bible Answer Man," the nationwide call-in radio program of
the Christian Research Institute, Hinn renounced the
teachings after reading Hank Hanegraaff's book, "Christianity
in Crisis."

In 1991, after meeting with critics of his book "Good
Morning, Holy Spirit", Hinn also claimed to no longer
believe the Word-Faith teachings, which include the
assumptions that Jesus lost his divinity before dying on
the cross, was united in nature with Satan, and was born
again in Hell by the power of the Holy Spirit. At that
time he said, " I really no longer believe the faith
message. I don't think it adds up." But shortly after
making that statement, Hinn was again teaching Word-Faith
doctrines, as well as quoting the movements' leading
proponents favorably.

"Christianity in Crisis," reviewed in a recent issue of
the Christian Press Report, is now a number 1 best-seller.
The book, written by Hank Hanegraaff, President of the
Christian Research Institute, documents and counters the
cultic teachings of the Word-Faith Movement.
