When Kenneth Copeland says he could have done the same things as Jesus and hung on the cross until dead for our salvation, arose from the dead, etc, yea, I think that's new.So whats new?
I just can't see Peter or Paul asking for money to buy a new chariot.Heres one - background, recently Creflo Dollar actually asked for donations to buy a 65 million dollar private jet (the kind that billionaires wait in line for)- saying if 200,000 people just seeded 300 dollars each he could read his goal - after receiving loads of criticism, he took down the page from his ministry asking for it and is now defending his position:
Creflo Dollar defends position on $65m jet issues; slams devil, critics for discrediting his church

Why are so many linked to various " Pentecostal movements" ?When Kenneth Copeland says he could have done the same things as Jesus and hung on the cross until dead for our salvation, arose from the dead, etc, yea, I think that's new.

Anyone that gets paid from the offering plate is a false teacher... period.
I am and others very grateful Charles Stanley received a salary when he began to teach Gods words some 50 years ago. Very, very grateful.
First Corinthians 9:14 gives the church clear instruction: “The Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.” We pay people to prepare and serve our physical food; shouldn’t we also be willing to pay those who see to our spiritual food? And, honestly, which is more important—physical food or spiritual food—based on Matthew 4:4?
Full time Ministry in most cases requires money.
Mercy Ships. Floating hospitals for Jesus. Just their fuel cost for one ship, is about $ 100,000 daily. The doctors, neurosurgeons, Nurses, deck, engine crew, and officers work for free and pay for their own food and lodging aboard the ships. They operate on primarily on children in the most impoverished places on earth. Treating diseases that we scoff at. And maiming s and disfigurements.

They are always needing Gods people. Gods people who do not care for self. As Jesus lived and gave. I highly recommend the book " Is That really you God". How Mercy Ships got started. Without a paddle. Because a man with a heart for Jesus, took the leap. left his wife and children for Jesus. As Moses did. Moses a sheep tender, listened to Gods voice, and obeyed, facing the most fiercest army on earth. With a " stick". As did the Apostles. Yes, these people of God are leaving all they have right now.
I am not in favor and deeply troubled by those who have 50 MILLION dollar jet's, 30,000 Sq. feet of house, many mansions, and drive Bentley's.
They are in deep trouble. The deepest.
Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, 15 and regard the patience of our Lord to be salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest, being carried away by the error of unprincipled men, you fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
