Paula White, who has now moved onto her third rockstar husband, was once the homewrecking mistress of faith-healer, Benny Hinn. American charismaticism is a moral cesspool, however, and she continued to be popular on the pop-prophecy circuit. Several weeks ago, Paula White claimed that God audibly told her to take the title of Apostle. Aside … Read more
It should be evident to anyone paying attention that, like many charismatics, the Holy Spirit is not at work in Francis Chan. If He were, Chan would have more discernment, which is a gift of the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 5:14, 1 Corinthians 12:10). But instead of exercising any discernment, Chan has chosen to partner himself … Read more
Donald Trump has lots of good qualities that evangelical Christians should find admirable. Time and again, Trump has proven capable of listening to the evangelical voting block and has even followed through on many of his promises made to America’s Christians. His policies are certainly more in line with the Christian ethos than the Democratic … Read more
Paula White Cain, the thrice-married minister and former mistress of Benny Hinn, has pronounced herself to be an Apostle of Christ and installed her son as the new pastor of her church. While her son is the new lead pastor, White will serve as an “oversight pastor.” Women, according to the Bible, shouldn’t be pastors … Read more
Donald Trump, who has brought many undeniable victories for Christians and Christians causes during his tenure as President, still seems to have a dubious grasp on Christian theology and continues to surround himself mostly with heretics. While we are thankful that Trump has sought to eliminate grant funding for Planned Parenthood, nominated conservative justices to … Read more
Tom Buck is a friend of mine. We haven’t always been so friendly, but we seem to have made some kind of amends. So then, let me come along and mess up all that peace and harmony by using him as an example of something that is quite annoying to many of us who aspire … Read more
The Bible’s teaching on separating from gross heretics, false prophets, and theological swindlers couldn’t be more clear. It shouldn’t surprise us that charismatics like Francis Chan, who already deny the Bible’s sufficiency, might readily be willing to deny the Bible’s authority as well. Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus … Read more
There are two types of people who don’t need to read or follow polemics ministries. If you’re not one of those people, you should be reading Pulpit & Pen. And even though P&P is the most trusted name in polemics and discernment (and by far the biggest name in the game), this goes for other … Read more
Years ahead of our time (again), polemics ministries warned you about Francis Chan many Blood Moons ago. Now, after everybody and their uncle knew that Francis Chan had been off in a different pasture for nearly a decade, Cripplegate has finally ‘farewelled’ him (by the way, Cripplegate is a fine blog). To ‘farewell’ someone is … Read more
Donald Trump is likely not a born-again Christian. Nonetheless, Trump is proving to be one of the most unlikely advocates of born-again Christians the political realm has seen in many years. Claiming to have never asked forgiveness, with rumors circulating that his conversion experience was mediated by charismatic false-prophetess, Paula White, and demonstrating the personal … Read more
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son…Hebrews 1:1-2 No one can deny that the Southern Baptist Convention is drifting. Once opposed to claims of prophecy outside the Bible – commonly claimed by cults like Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, … Read more

According to the lawsuit, Hinn began defaulting on … Read more
Polemics ministries already face the oft-painted and unfortunate caricature of being “hyper-separationists” and “fundamentalists” who can’t play nice or get along with others. In spite of reiterating that we can find good things in the ministries of men, we may often criticize for one reason or another, still some accuse us of anathematizing people “just … Read more
Michael Brown is the chief apologist for the Charismaniac movement, giving vocal defenses and stirring endorsements for men like Bill Johnson, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and Rodney Howard Browne. Sadly, the Michael Brown you see on The Dividing Line or on his program, the Line of Fire, is not the Michael Brown that you see … Read more
In the video clip below, you’ll see a gaggle of false prophets spouting nonsense about the End Times. One says “there will be a converge of signs [that overlap] and there’s a company of people that have been hidden in God for a season, but they’re going to come out of hiding and stand in … Read more
