That is exactly what grace is suppose to do. Every preacher will have critics. Even Jesus has critics.

Seriously, this is why the Christian faith is in such trouble.

I went to his web site. Clearly a healing and prosperity speaker.
You gathered that from just looking at his website? Have you heard him speak even one word? I've listened to him preach for almost a year and he is not someone who claims to have had coffee with Jesus in Heaven or anything like that. Why do you take it so literally? If you listen to his sermons I'm sure you would have a different opinion.

Actually he rejected a high salary offered to him. Why do you feel this way about him? Have you ever heard him preach even once?

Of course this will happen to believers and especially for those who are in a position to preach the gospel to hundreds of millions of people. God wants the true gospel preached.
His narrative of the event seemed to indicate it was.

The problem, of course, is when people claim to hear opposing messages from God. Or when they message they claim came from God contradicts that which we know is his word--the Bible.

Even in fundamental Christianity. You have Calvinist against Armenian. Both claim to be from God. Both claim to be correct, chosen,elected. But only one of them can be wrong, or both. But both cannot be right.
