He's gladly given his whole life to be used of the Lord.
I personally had never heard of Benny Hinn until a year ago. What I heard was sufficient to write him off as a deceiver.
**Also, the person who wrote the article is a mature adult, older than even I and probably you, who has served the Lord for many years.**
To him I would say, "Art thou a master of Christianity and experienced not these things?" and "we speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness".
**The person who wrote the second article (based I might add on Scripture and not "feelings") is a missionary to Nepal, one of the only missionaries in that region who lives there full time. He and his wife have started 19 churches and a Bible College. He's also written many well received books.**
Is it possible to travel extensively, winning converts, and not have the truth? Jesus, talking to very religious, very devout, alms giving people, said: "..for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte.." Matt. 23:13
**I can't speak for you or your faithfulness, but I will tell you that my all consuming desire towards the Lord is to be found faithful. In word, deed and doctrine.**
Saul (a man who knew his OT, lemmee tell ya) and some likeminded sidekicks, on their way to Damascus, was equally consumed with faithfulness to the doctrine of that old covenant. With the religious elite giving him authority, he was in attack mode, against what he felt was false doctrine.
You see, Full Court, an extensive theological education, crowds of followers, big recognition among likeminded people, do not guarantee one to be right.
I'm still waiting for the refutation, from the "no unknown tongues crowd", to 1Cor. 14:2
"For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries".
Goodnight,

The people I spoke of who wrote those articles do not have large followings nor do they seek the praise of men. They just teach and preach the Bible.
They are not well known and probably would not want to be.
But God has found them faithful, that I know.
One other thought: My missionary friend has made far more than one convert, but he'd certainly never brag on it. And he lives in Nepal among the people he ministers to.

You seem to imply that one can't know what is doctrinally pure and what is in error. You compare an unsaved man (Saul) to born again Bible believers and insinuate that they are wrong because of what Saul was doing.
You are so far off base it's sad.
