Regarding the story about the guy giving Copeland the cheque at the motel pool, I wouldn't tempt the devil.
We shouldn't go around constantly telling people to go to Hell, but there are times when it is correct to do so. Peter told the man who was trying to buy the gifts of God this when he said "your money perish with you." Paul does this in 1 Corinthians 16 22 when he says "if any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be anathema."
Paul wasn't completely born again on the road to Damascus. Rather, he had to go into the city where he was instructed what he had to do to be saved.
As far as the person who was in need of "serious deliverance", I suspect there might have been a few people in that section suffering from stomach troubles.
Near the end, Copeland gets the audience to repeat a prayer three times. What about the verse where Jesus said, "and when ye pray do not use vain repititions as the heathen do for they think that they will be heard for their many words?"
