In the Halcyon days of Pulpit & Pen, new articles came out every day. There were multiple writers contributing back then and if nothing was getting published JD Hall would inform us quickly that “the website was growing cobwebs”. Unfortunately, the site has had cobwebs for a few years now; it’s just me writing. Between … Read more
Baptist preacher Costi Hinn knows a spectacle when he sees one. For years he was in the employ of his heretical huckster of an uncle, Benny Hinn. Having repented of his past error, Costi has made a career as an author, podcaster, and pastor. Recently Costi Hinn took issue with the pulpit antics of popular … Read more
Evangelist Todd White is pushing back on claims that he repented for not preaching the full gospel and is now newly saved, declaring that he’s been taken out of context and that his critics are sinning in doing so. White made headlines last week when he preached a sermon and declared that he repented of … Read more
Todd White, as our polemics resources have chronicled over many years, is one of the most notorious parlor-tricksters, mentalists, and miracle-hustlers in extremist charismania. And starting earlier this week, he has many people convinced from a recent sermon that he’s seen the light and is repentant for teaching a false gospel. HOPE Anyone can be … Read more
“‘I feel like I haven’t preached the whole Gospel. And I repent. I repent.” said a visibly emotional Todd White to a group of students during his July 26 Encounter sermon, fighting to hold back tears as his voice cracked with conviction. It was a change of tone for the word-of-faith prosperity preacher, who has … Read more
The International Association of Healing Ministries cancelled their massive conference that was to take place in Porta, Portugal this year, and instead will be having an online conference instead due to being constrained by the coronavirus. We reached out and asked the logical question of why not just have the event and heal everyone, given … Read more
Charisma News, safe haven for every spiritual scoundrel out there, released an article on “How You Can Recognize Today’s False Prophets. The article links to a word from Pastor Jim Kibler of Life Church In Melborne, FL, where he explains how to identify false prophets in the church. Rather than pointing to Deuteronomy 18, showing … Read more
The Huffington Post, Mother Jones, and other fake news outlets are reporting that Paula White is asking for seed-faith money to stop sickness. Charismatic prosperity hustlers like White teach that if someone gives money to their ministry (“sowing a seed of faith”) then they’ll receive some kind of tangible benefit from God. And Paul White, … Read more
Well, this sounds like satire, but it’s not. The world’s largest gathering of notable faith healers are canceling the grand opening of a faith-healing center because of coronavirus. We reported on the grand opening of the Morris Cerullo Legacy International Center on Saturday, mostly because it has a design that looks like a dollar sign … Read more
At Pulpit & Pen, we’re trying to document all the dumb (and often dangerous) things charismatics say during this coronavirus crisis. Instead of going out and healing people (so far they’re at zero healings), they just sit around and give really bad medical advice. For the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that … Read more
Pulpit & Pen was prepared to do a brief article on the opening of the Morris Cerullo Legacy International Center, regarding the astounding amount of heretics who will be present for the event. Faith-healers and prosperity preachers like Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Perry Stone and special guest speaker, Joel Osteen, will all be there. Morris … Read more
Charismatics are really good at prophesying. Falsely. Benny Hinn claims to have healed whole hospitals (he was also admitted to one for being sick a while back). Todd Bentley claims to have raised the dead. Kenneth Copeland claims to have made the blind sea and Gloria Copeland promised Christians wouldn’t get the flu last year. Yesterday we … Read more

Todd Bentley claims to have raised the dead. Kenneth Copeland claims to have made the blind sea and Gloria Copeland promised Christians wouldn’t … Read more
After years of refusing to name names of problematic teachers and outright heretics, Michael Brown finally took to his webcast to bravely call out the names…of his critics. Names of charismatic charlatans who are milking the Bride of Christ for seed-faith offerings in exchange for parlor-trick miracles have still gone unmentioned by the New Apostolic … Read more
Discerning Christians have been warning about Francis Chan’s descent into heresy for quite some time. Chan recently claimed that ecumenical unity is more important than Biblical truth, adopted the Romanist view of transubstantiation, posed for partnership selfies with Benny Hinn, and is headlining events with New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) heretics. And now Chan claims to … Read more
