To be sure the Crouch's occasionally at odd hours sell time to Trinitarians such as Charles Stanley, D. James Kennedy, Greg Laurie but the vast majority of what they push comes straight of heretical Oneness Pentecostalism and the Word Faith movement.

Prosperity peddlers, Robert Tilton, Ken Hagin, and Ken Copeland. Benny Hinn, Marilyn Hickey, I could go on.

Name It And Claim it. The Positive Confession Movement. Here is a great article from Biblical Discernment Ministries
Name It Claim it

Another good resource is
The Christian Research Institute

I have listened to the Bible Answer Man many times (mainly because my husband got most of his ministering through it during the week) when we first met. I don't agree with him on many of his theological opinions, which prompted very interesting conversations (*chuckle*) with the hubby. When I pointed out references to my husband where he was either not fully explaining a point (thru scripture) or erred with some of his interpretations, I didn't declare him a heretic and slam his ministry. I believe he is sincere with what he believes and I pray the Lord will show him His wisdom and understanding.

Just as it is with all ministries, there are differences of opinion concerning key biblical points. That's why we have Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, etc. Problem I do have with heretic hunters... is that they eat their own. I certainly don't agree with all the preachers on TBN...since they are from all different faiths. I don't care for the makeup job Jan has or the pink hair... just as I don't care for the appearance of the purple-haired, nose-ringed, tattoed kid who might sit beside me in church .... BUT it doesn't matter what they look like.... It does matter that they are seeking the Lord with all their heart and that they're sincere. The Word says that we are one body in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 12

28 And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

31 But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.

The heretic hunters have a problem explaining this scripture away... because they don't practice these things themselves and try to discredit those that do.
