I want to consider the fact that deception almost never comes wearing horns; it is most always subtle, almost unnoticeable...just a floating, opaque myst. Yet, there is poison in the cloud. It is a mixture of light and shadows.
I believe that Kenneth Hagin was a sincere Christian man...who bit on the wrong apple. I cannot imagine that he was lost in the end..[ though it is not up to me...TY Jesus!] I think he was a saved man, and I will see him in heaven.
One of the things not mentioned is RHEMA BIBLE COLLEGE...which was definetly a BIBLE WORD college, with good fruit. I have known graduates that love God, and are going on with the Lord. Hagin of course, founded Rhema. WIKI below...
"Hagin founded RHEMA Bible Training Center (RBTC) in 1974.
The curriculum is taught from a Charismatic/Pentecostal heritage. There are seven ministry concentrations specializing in Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, Evangelism, Pastoral Care, Missions, Biblical Studies, and Supportive Ministry.
RBTC has also established training centers in Austria, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Romania, Singapore, South Africa, the South Pacific, Thailand, Nigeria, Zambia, and Egypt.
After Hagin's death in 2003, his son Kenneth W. Hagin continued to run the institution. RBTC has trained approximately 30,000 graduates who reside and minister in more than 100 countries................wiki.
The thing about the Holy Spirit that I love...is that He strengthens, He convicts, and if He dwells in you...you go on with God. Just because their was a fly in the ointment, it doesn't mean that you stink forever....but...it makes life a lot better without the buzz. Jesus decides. |
