  11. Benny Hinn is not like Jesus! • He is being questioned and is talking “about the financial probe, his lavish lifestyle and accusations that his faith healings are fake because he offers no documentation or verification that he has, in fact, helped the blind to see and the crippled to walk.” • “They question me on why I don’t verify,” Hinn says. “I answer, ‘God never called me to verify. I’m not a doctor.’” (FoxNews.com)

  12. Jesus is not like Benny Hinn! • Jesus, Jno 11:47; Acts 2:22 • His apostles, Acts 4:16 • No doubt when Jesus healed • No doubt when Jesus saves you, Mark 16:16; Acts 8:37-39
