Kenneth E. Hagin's Hissing Mad Spirit
Kenneth E Hagin said, "He [Jesus] tasted spiritual death for every man. And His spirit and inner men went to hell in my place. Can't you see that? Physical death wouldn't remove your sins" (Ken Hagin, "How Jesus Obtained His Name".)
Kenneth Hagin went to heaven and talked with his sister (6/91). Yet nobody is resurrected or in heaven yet. This is necromancy. Kenneth once went to hell in an out-of-body experience (9/91). Yet nobody has been resurrected for hell yet. Therefore, this must be a foretaste of where he is going.
"Christ’s physical death on the cross was not enough to save us" (How Jesus obtained His Name, Tape 44H01). "The Christian 'is as much an incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth" ("The Incarnation," The Word of Faith, Dec. 1980).
"[Man] was created on terms of equality with God, and he could stand in God’s presence without any consciousness of inferiority…God made us as much like Himself as possible…He made us the same class of being that He is Himself…Man lived in the realm of God. He lived on terms equal with God… [The] believer is called Christ…That’s who we are; we’re Christ" ("Zoe: The God-Kind of Life," 1989. pp. 35-36, 41).
"Every man who has been born again is an incarnation and Christianity is a miracle. The believer is as much an incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth" ("The Incarnation," The Word of Faith 13, December, 1980). "You are as much the incarnation of God as Jesus Christ was...the believer is as much an incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth" ("Word Of Faith" Dec. 1980, p. 14).
"Why did He need to be begotten or born? Because He became like we were - separated from God. Because He tasted spiritual death for every man. And His spirit and inner men went to hell in my place. Can't you see that? Physical death wouldn't remove your sins. He's tasted death for every man. He's talking about tasting spiritual death. Jesus is the first person that was ever born again. Why did His spirit need to be born again? Because it was estranged from God" (Kenneth Hagin, "How Jesus obtained His Name", Tape #44-H01).
Does this laughter sound like the Devil? Recall he says he is a little God. When he keeps repeating "drunk again" it sounds like he is mocking God's word. If what he is doing does not qualify as being drunk then what does? If you want to turn people off of Christ this is a pretty good way to do it by misrepresenting Him.
Benny Hinn stated this and never rescinded it, “Now, are you ready for some real revelation knowledge? OK. Now watch this: He laid aside His divine form...so one day I would be clothed on earth with the divine form. Kenneth Hagin has a teaching. A lot of people have problems with it. Yet it is absolute truth. Kenneth Copeland has a teaching. Many Christians have put holes in it, but it's divine truth. Hagin and Copeland say: You are god. Ye are gods. 'Oh, I can't be god.' Hold it. Let's bring balance to this teaching. The balance is taught by Copeland, who is my dear friend, but it's those that repeat what he says that are messing it up. You see there brother? When Jesus was on earth, the Bible says that first He disrobed Himself of the divine form. He, the limitless God, became a man, that we men, may become as He is.” (Our Position In Christ” cassette tape #A031190, Orlando Christian Center, 1990)
(Kenneth Copeland)"...And I say this with all respect so that it don't upset you too bad, but I say it anyway. When I read in the Bible where He says I AM, I just smile and say, 'Yes, I AM too.'" (Believer's Voice of Victory Broadcast, 7/9/1987).
Copeland states "You are not a spiritual schizophrenic -- half-God and half-Satan -- you are all-God" (Now We Are in Christ Jesus, Fort Worth: KCP Publications, 1980, pp.16-17).
"And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly" (Is. 5.26). So the hissing of Hagin calls upon other to destroy Hagin and his people. God uses the evil spirit to destroy the Roman Church and the Word of Faith movement.
"Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues" (Jer. 50.13). The hissing that Hagin does is unto his own pleasure, not against Babylon. That's what false tongues are all about. The gibberish babble is not to spread the word of God to the nations but for personal indulgence and opening doors for the evil spirits to come in by shutting your mind down through repetitive mantra whether it be shouting mantra, laughing mantra, gibberish mantra.
If you expose Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin and Benny Hinn, the Word of Faith says you will go to Hell. Really? Let's all lower our moral standards for these men.
When Kenneth Hagin says Jesus was born-again, to be born-again requires you were physically created or born the first time. This is a way to deny Jesus as the 2nd Person in the Trinity and through Him all things were created. Jesus did not suffer in Hell. He is transcendent. When Jesus died on the cross He went to the good side of Hades (Abraham's bosom) which is not Hell. If at some point Jesus visited the bad side of Hades (Lazarus), it was never to be punished, but to speak words of condemnation in that place of timeless unawares or soul sleep. If this was a penal punishment then Jesus would have to spend eternity in Hell. But it is not a penal punishment, and redemption is not accomplished in Hades or Hell.
