Not to question whether or not there are real Christians at his "crusades", but does anyone give what goes on in the name of "ministry" as anything greater than a circus or a magic show?

Tell you what, I went to a Benny Hinn crusade about two or three years ago when he was in Chicago (Thanks again, Sis Vicki for the VIP seating
)
What I can tell you is that there wasn't a circuis. Everything was decent and in order. There was not a petition for some big extravagant offering.
When God started healing people, Hinn didn't step to the pulpit and speak "the word of faith" or anything like that, the gift of healing just filled the stadium as the people worshipped.
When I arrived at the stadium I saw a man help his wife out of their van. She was in a wheelchair and was connected to a big oxygen tank. I watched that lady get healed in the service, come out of her wheelchair and diconnect the hoses to the tank. No one was screaming at her or messing up her hair as they prayed for her....she and her husband were along worshipping God.
When the peopled that had been healed line up to give their testimony there was Dr's there to verify different things. There was ladies who gave you a testimony card to fill out and sign. It was all very organized.
I obviously don't agree with how Hinn preaches salvation, but I gotta give him his props...people come to the crusades believing that if they can just get in the door, they will receive their miracle. Benny Hinn's ministry team create an atmosphere of worship and faith. Whether they preach the whole truth or not, God takes pleasure in the praises of His people. He will always respond to faith....
AND THAT"S THE WAY IT WAS
..........ok now I'm going to brace for the beating I'm about to take......
