John Hagee: A few years ago, Hagee published a book called "In Defense Of Israel" where he said Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah. By saying Jesus wasn't the Messiah, Hagee effectively departed from the faith.
Kenneth Copeland: Preaches a prosperity gospel, teaching the Lord wants people to be blessed materially and in other areas of their lives. While the Lord does want us to prosper, it is conditional on our obedience to Him. Sure, Copeland will occasionally say something about obedience, but the emphasis is on blessings without right living.
Copeland also incorporates new age practices such as visualization and meditation into his teachings.
And, of course, there was the famous conference where he had the late Tony Palmer speak. Palmer declared "the protest is over" and said all Christians were Catholics. There followed a message from the pope.
Creflo Dollar: Apt last name for a televangelist.
See Kenneth Copeland above.
Says in one of his books that Christians basically are God.
Fred Price: Drives a Roles Royce. I don't mind a preacher having a fancy car if he gets a lot of money from his audience. After all, he has the right to live off donations according to 1 Corinthians 9 11. However, to drive the fanciest, most austentacious car around is stepping outside the teaching of this verse.
Said a few years ago Jesus committed suicide. Apparently, Price doesn't understand the concept of self-sacrifice.
Benny Hinn: A lot of flim flam and fake healing.
Jim Baker: Published a book entitled "I Was Wrong." Of course he said he was wrong; what else was he supposed to do?
This guy is back on the air. If you get caught committing adultery and stealing money, you shouldn't be allowed to preach again.
Ernest Angley: See Benny Hinn.
