they have the Ministers give first BUT did you know that they take there check OUT the Basket before the offerings reach the bank??? A pastor told me that when the Bishop use to give $500 to $5000 it was to prompt the people to give the same or close to it,,then he would get a phone call telling him to take his check out and bring it to his house,,BUT WAIT,,then he would file at the end of the year that he gave!!! POOR,,POOR Bishop gave his last and so should we!!!...AGAIN I know all the tricks,,Now there are some churches who are real and they have to suffer because of these scorpian churches,,But we just have to be lead,,I tell everyone to tithe but I tell everyone to be sensitive to what the spirit is saying

IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNREAL THAT THEY STAND BOLDLY WITH THIS MESS

[Micah RaSun-Vann]

Amen! Back in the day preachers preached that to lay down ones life and become a christian you had to be poor, and to be sick was the will of God and you had to bear with it until he lifted it. That money was the root of all evil (having misquoted the scripture) and if you were rich and had possessions you got it by shady means.

Then came Reverend Ike and his off the wall teaching and aberrants jumped on the bandwagon. The Bible says a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. This gave rise to the Faith Preachers’ "Name it and Claim it". The offspring of the Faith Preachers are the Prosperity Preachers. All theses teachings are based on faulty reasoning and unsound doctrine. In the next decade we will probably see the gospel degenerate into some form of humanistic teaching where christianity is all about feeling good about oneself and one’s contribution to life because "Jesus said my peace i give unto you" and "in thy presence is the fullness of joy" and “God loves a cheerful giver”. Which is equally as ludicrous as the bible basis for both the faith and prosperity teachings.

It is pure deception and opens the door to such manipulative practices as this one that was told to me from an insider of a mega ministry. During offering time the Minister/con artist would compel the people to give $500, $1000, $10,000 to receive any number of thing i.e. cars, homes, more money, more money but they provoked the people by having the pulpit ministers give first. They announced each ministers offering amount so the people could hear. But the absolute atrocity was that in the back after the service the Minister would return the checks to the preachers who gave in the offering . This is just robbery. I'm sure it wasn’t all the guest preacher but I’m sure the ones who participated were part of a team who traveled with this ministry and pulled this con game often.
