Not deceived at all.

I’ve exhorted Assembly of God Presbyters of their outrages . . . and seen the Lord take them out of this life within a year as I warned.

I’ve exhorted internationally known Pentecostal/Charismatic leaders of various ranks and types very sternly for decades. The Lord has frequently backed my warnings and exhortations up.

I’ve likely seen more junk in such circles than you have.

I’VE ALSO SEEN THE FAR GREATER FRUIT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

God will likely be asking you about your rock throwing and judgments in such matters.

I applaud you for standing up against heresies.

That said, the Bible clearly states that we are to reject heretics after the second admonition. Our duty is to follow God’s word, not engage in moral relativism and pragmatism. Again, God might sometimes use these evil “ministries” for good, but that does not mean we are to violate His word by supporting them.

The Apostle Paul commands us not to even eat with a covetous person, who claims to be a Christian.

“11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.
12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.” - 1 Corinthians 5:11-13

Notice, he lists “covetous” right after “sexually immoral”. If a Christian is going to support a “Prosperity Gospel” charlatans, he might as well support Gene Robinson or other openly homosexual “bishops” and “pastors”. Doing either is forbidden by Scripture.
