We are in an age where people are stepping into leadership and other roles without being led of God and/or being mentored/pastored. So called “Social Media pastors”. As quick as they rise they will fall. We all need guidance.
I agree w prosperity gospel being harmful. I’m read the Bible a lot and feel it’s important to know ur Bible. I listen to Micheal Todd a lot. I don’t think he speaks about prosperity. In fact I have heard him say it’s not easy to Christian. That ur problems will not be solved w Christianity. I think this is an important point that should be made. I like his honesty. He speaks of giving ur life to Jesus. I think this is important.
I don’t agree with everything pastor Todd does nor all his doctrine. But I don’t think this is beneficial nor effective overall. It seems like smaller channels use these popular preachers as clout. I’m curious if you have ever reached out to pastor Todd rather than using his name and image as clickbait. I believe there are more beneficial ways to make believers aware of false teaching without sowing discord.
Thank you Pastor Costi for speaking the truth. So many call me “judgmental” when I do this, even when done out of love. So many are afraid to stand on sound biblical doctrine
Standing on sound biblical doctrine is based on how you live out the Bible not criticizing someone else ❤️🙏🏾 show us by your actions not by your judgment
This video is oozing with legalism and narrow mindedness. You say you out false teachers....Let me call you out. You are saying that whenever you see, "it's God's will for people to become whole, healthy and successful" It's an indication that you have to avoid Mike Todd. So what is the right one? Does that mean the right thing should be... "As part of Christ's work of salvation, it is the Father's will for believers to remain hurt and broken, physically unhealthy and unsuccessful in all areas of life." is that a better way of saying it? Have you ever heard them taking about managing your health and you finances and getting deeper with God so that you can expand God's kingdom in the marketplace? I don't know what your standard of a life in Christ is...but I think you glorify poverty too much. please take off that lens of legalism when you read your bible.
I find it funny how people call Kenneth a false teacher.. one day we will all see that you cannot Box the Holy Spirit and think you know him and his fullness. may the Lord give us understanding
Amen brother! That man was used mightily by the Lord. Filled with the Holy Spirit and here we have little boy who knows nothing about the spirit life being critical.
Yeah.. everyone is false these days according to some of these academic theologians. If you don't sound like them, THEN YOU MUST BE FALSE. LOL.. He called Kenneth Hagin false because of that part of his ministry he highlighted, ignoring every other thing. I don't agree totally with Kenneth Hagin on everything (even alot of his offspring in ministry do not too) but to call him false??? Nah!
I am sorry that you’re being misled. Please refer to Scripture that tells us to test and discern “EVERY” spirit. The devil can “act”like the Holy Spirit, but that doesn’t mean he is. This man is teaching to TRUTH and sometimes the truth is hard to hear. There are many false teachers and the Bible tells us to be careful of it. If it’s not sound doctrine, it’s NOT of God; regardless of what our opinions are.
Calling out false teachers is a good thing, yet are you in Christ? The Bible says to work out your salvation 'with fear and trembling.' Can you think of anything more horrendous than to think you are saved, only to face God's wrath on that great and terrible day? Yet, how can you know you are going to heaven? If you are a Christian doubting your salvation, the most important words in the Bible are when Jesus says, "Whoever believes in Me..." There is nothing like these four words in the entire Bible. It is the dividing line between heaven and hell, between God's favor and His wrath, between eternity in glory or eternal torment. Think - and pray! - dear Christian. Does your life truly fulfill these words of Christ? Are you certain? That is, referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me shall have rivers of living water bubbling up inside Him." Are you, indeed, seated in the heavenlies with Christ? Do you know Him? If you wonder if you are saved, do not fear, as the solution is simple. Jesus said, "My Father will give you the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks of Him." Is there anything more certain than the promises of God? If you have asked God, but not received, try thanking the Lord, as if you have already received the Holy Spirit. Get those rivers of life flowing in your life before you stand before Christ and hear those horrific words, "Depart from me; I never KNEW you." Work our your salvation with fear and trembling! Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
Sir this is not calling out false teachers. This is basing all tour claim on one sermon illustration that went completely wrong which the man repented and owned up to. So if a pastor makes a mistake on stage he is suddenly a false teacher ? You also based other claim on how he chooses to use his wealth so he’s not allowed to show the world how God has blessed him Just because you don’t agree with his methods does not make one a false teacher. People who are agreeing with you without going and doing their own research they are the sheep being led astray
I agree with everything in the video. Completely agree. But I am nervous for this video series. You are placing yourself in an authoritative position by creating a series like this. This isn’t a bad thing necessarily, but I pray you feel the weight of it. These videos will cause division. I pray the division is good, necessary, and from God. But please, please be careful as you create this series. It’s not hard to create a highlight reel of bad moments from any preacher in the spotlight. A bad moment doesn’t mean someone is a false teacher. A disagreement over tertiary issues doesn’t mean someone is a false teacher. I trust God has led you to create this series of videos. I just ask along with my brothers and sisters that immense prayer and counsel goes into each takedown. Unity in the Church is one of the most common themes of the New Testament. There are times to disrupt unity, but you must be CERTAIN that your disruption is an edifying act.
Best comment on the whole thread. I wholeheartedly agree with your stance. It is necessary to warn Gods people of false teaching, but I also notice that so many Christian’s have this desire to see other “Christians” exposed or torn down. We have a taste for controversy that I’m sure the Lord is in pleased with. Something I’ve had to repent of myself. Lord give us wisdom and grace to do and say what pleases you.
First time someone sent me a video on one of Todd's teachings, I could immediately feel something wasn't right. This just confirms it. The Holy Spirit will speak to you. If you can hear His voice and you can feel that discernment...then you listen!
I don’t understand how believing that Jesus died so I wouldn’t like a thing on Earth is wrong? His message about vision was revelation that he got from the word and shared and I could agree. When God gives vision, the enemy will try to stop you. Take Joseph for example. His brothers sold him to slavery after God gave him dreams. Michael Todd had also apologized for the incident but has changed many lives for Jesus.
THIS video is dangerous. Having the balls publicly call out a false teacher is in itself dangerous, but the argument used is baseless and it panders to those who take pleasure in tearing down pastors who are in "elevated" positions. This type of video has NO VALUE in the edification of the church and Costi Hinn wears the badge of "false teacher exposer" with complete disregard for Matthew 18:15-17. Michael Todd is a professing Christian and anyone who has anything against him should go to him, not post a divisive video on RUclips. I have listened to some teachings by Michael Todd but do not profess to be a Michael Todd follower. Like many other Christians I am wary of pastors with big platforms and my curiosity led me to watch this video, but instead of gaining clarity about Michael Todd's teachings and whether or not I should listen to him, I am left angered at the reckless & divisive behavior of Costi Hinn. Maybe I should make a RUclips video about him and HIS false teaching! Digressing into the details of the video with the points Costi Hinn makes: 1. Hinn Says that Michael Todd is funny and a good communicator who preaches to felt needs. This is style not substance. The real question we should be asking is "is the Gospel of Jesus Christ being professed and preached by Michael Todd?" 2. Hinn ties Todd to Kenneth Hagin with ZERO evidence that Todd actually associates with Hagin. The connection? They are in the same geographic area. That would be like me tying Costi Hinn to the false teacher Benny Hinn because they share the same last name...oh wait! 3. Hinn mentions that Transformation Church has "prosperity gospel" language in its doctrinal statement. This is for sure something worth exploring, but not enough grounds to dismiss Todd and label him a false teacher. Has Hinn listened to Todd's sermons to see if he is actually teaching the prosperity gospel? It may very well be there, but no proof has been provided by the accuser. 4. Hinn then plugs his own book talking about the shortcomings of the prosperity gospel. Hmmm, what a kind coincidence... 5. Hinn then lands (crashes?) the plane by sharing a single example of Todd's teachings. Out of the hundreds of sermons (often up to 2 hrs long) preached by Todd, Hinn conveniently (cherry) picked the one illustration that no doubt many people heard about. This specific example went viral and would not take much research to find. The illustration was for sure a misstep by Todd and poor judgement, but what Hinn fails to tell you is that Todd acknowledged this and publicly repented for his misjudgment. This wasn't an example of false teaching. It was an example of a man taking an illustration too far. There was no evidence presented of false teaching in the entire video. It has not helped me to discern if Todd is sound or not and instead I learnt that I should avoid any video that claims to out a false teacher. Hinn should be ashamed of his divisiveness. It is click bait at best, and evil at its worst.
I don’t know any of these guys but I wonder why the “prosperity preachers” never make RUclips videos about other ministries. I never see Hillsong, Bethel etc. doing these types of videos about others.
It appears that you're calling someone a false teacher without offering scriptural evidence to refute anything they've said. From what I can tell, you make no real attempt to explain how Michael Todd has contradicted Christ. You've basically taken two clips out of context and all they do is show that you don't like his decision to incorporate a youthful personality and live examples into his messages. Factually, Michael Todd explicitly points people to Christ and teaches that God's word is final. How can he be guilty of pushing the prosperity gospel when he explains to his congregation that God is the owner of every resource and that we are only managers of money that God has given purpose? Further, there are tons of comments from people who are clearly agreeing with you because of their own biases against Michael Todd's methods and not because they have spiritual or biblical confirmation that he has lied about anything.
Here’s the thing: I have an uncle who was a known meth-user since the year prior to my birth (1983). My entire family who was steeped into church had given up on him, didn’t want him NEAR us. He robbed, stole and assaulted so many people. Well guess where he is now? He’s the HEAD Deacon of a church in Washington D.C. and owns TWO businesses. Apparently, Mr. Todd started visiting/volunteering at the prison ministry where he was… Todd spoke life into him, challenged him and continued to visit him & helped him to get on his feet. Yes, this young, black, educated fella became a mentor and spiritual inspiration, to a METH-head who was 29yrs his senior. You people may MEAN well but you would be better served, removing the moat out of your OWN eyes first. NO being on this planet is without fault. But I pray for this young brother that Heaven used to save my uncle’s life (and one day, his death).
Well said. This kind of person is not of God. He puts others down to build himself up. A total empty-hearted tool of the Devil. The first thing he does in this terrible hate-piece video was to give a few Bible verses to give him some sort of vague credibility for being unChrist-like and basically a hateful Bible-thumpin' douche. No one that's honestly busy bringing souls to God has time for this hate-filled effort to hurt fellow Christians. He's a fraud. He doesn't see the beam in his own eye. He's too busy pointing at others. Loved your comment.
It strikes me as unusual for a so-claimed minister of the gospel to speak negatively on another minister whom he has no profound relation with. I do not agree that it is the Father’s heart to blaintly call out someone by name as False teacher, publicly humiliating them online and disregarding the fact that they are a human being first before a minister. If they Are in the wrong and unaware of it, this is not the way to go in my opinion. I for one can attest to the fact that God Almighty has in fact used imperfect Mike Todd, my brother in Christ, to allow for real transformation to transpire in my life and that of many others. Transformation that has led me to my knees and to the Cross! His humorous personality has been a source of joy and his transparency/vulnerability, a refreshment to the soul. My suggestion is to pray for ministers we believe may be at fault for anything, to build sincere relationship with them if we care enough to reach the point of correcting, and stick with discouraging a closer circle of "sheep" of certain ministries (if need be) as a form of pastoral counselling. Publicly sharing this, however, comes off as a form of bullying for one and is lacks goodly wisdom altogether. With love,
Mike Todd is a public figure on Christian platforms so when he does blasphemous acts like the spit scene and so many others. Should as Christians we not call him out on it because he is a "pastor". People who are newly saved will think this is okay which it is not. Especially when Mike called out privately but doesn't seem to care and keeps getting worse. The Bible speaks on people who mock God. The God says in the Bible my people will perish because of lack of knowledge. The more read the Bible the more gain spiritual knowledge to see that Mike Todd's preach at this point are not inspired by the holy spirit. God's word is sufficient and doesn't need Mike Todd's drama to make it powerful. I pray the Heavenly father who revealed Himself to you when you received your salvation open your eyes and bless you with the spirit of discernment. Your loyalty should be to God's not Mike who is a false teacher.
It is not bullying, he is leading people astray having them think his out of order acts are cool. Therefore we will correct publicly and call a spade a spade no fear no favour when it comes to false teachers
What does scripture because scripture shows God's heart no your feelings. I agree that calling someone out as false teacher is a harsh statement to make but there many verses and passages where false teachers are said to come. Yes they are human but they carry the responsibility of a congregation on their shoulders. A pastor's position is a dangerous to be in because when he stands before God he's held accountable for his sermons and what he said about God. Or as James warns us that not everyone should become a pastor in Chapter 3.
I agree 100%. I love how you did this video out of “love” for our brother in Christ. He is increasingly showing the world not how much he loves Christ, but how much he has come to love himself! He has become increasingly uncomfortable to watch and listen to. I’m praying for him as well ❤
He might tarry another three thousand years, who knows apart from God. But allow yourself the opportunity to imagine, how many brothers and sisters have been murdered for their faith over the past two thousand years Imagine the Christian’s being raped and murdered at the hands of the Nazi’s I bet they were confident of very close return of their saviour to stop the carnal craziness. Be blessed ✌️
@@fabio8978 he most certainly is, it’s why Mary never needed a man to impregnate her, Gods spirit literally went into Mary & he used her body to create a vessel for himself as she was the purest vessel that could have been used. Remember Gods spirit departed from man when sin began increasing, it shows us God doesn’t dwell where sin is gen 6:3 “my breath will not always remain with man” Also good to know that God came down in order to be an example for us on what to do & how to live righteously. It’s like a father wanting you to walk in his footsteps & being a physical example. The disciples didn’t always catch on to the things Jesus said when he was here but even they knew John 20:28, John 21:17 Also noting that Jesus himself declared it to Philip when he didn’t believe John 14:8-11. The father is in Jesus & Jesus is in the father, the same way that the word was in God & the word was God (John 1). The word then became flesh (John 1:14) Scripture never lies because God never lies.
Pray for Mike. The Bible commands us to pray for one another when we see our fellow brothers and sisters doing wrong and to also go straight up to them and correct them. I am not sure if posting this about Mike helps him or anyone... He sure is called and chosen by God as a Pastor, he is just under attack and the body of Christ should stand in prayer for him. We are not helping when we talk about one another instead of interceeding. I have never seen Jesus spreading his disciples' shortfalls around, anywhere in the bible. He rebuked, corrected, and encouraged them to do good. If anyone is without sin, let him pick a stone and throw it at Mike.
Love your channel bro! In this case though, I don’t think you addressed the issue well - I am not for or against Mike Todd, I just think some of your statements are broad sweeps and don’t articulate what exactly is fake about his teachings. Eg: you cannot deny that Jesus Christ wants us to be well and healthy and “blessed” and have life abundantly. Lots of evangelical and even more conservative churches have affirmations to this effect on their website. I’m also sure you yourself don’t live in poverty and would teach your children to leave an inheritance for your children.. Also - as much as the sermon illustration is disgusting, it is nowhere near heretical or “false”. Maybe it can be classified as inappropriate or uncomfortable and a poor sermon illustration during Covid especially:- but that doesn’t rise to the level of false teaching. It would be great if you made a second video about false teachers that goes into the specifics of what exactly qualifies someone to be “teaching false” - I would love to hear your views!
I got a couple of former gym friends (they both quit, but still stay in contact with one of them!) who were going to Transformation, actually have an old church friend's wife who is on staff there; sadly the friend passed away, had his own missionary organization. The two church friends bragged about what a great speaker Todd is and to check out one of his YT videos, which I did and I wasn't impressed at all. It was overly emotional, over acting by Todd, just didn't come across to me as someone who's authentic. The friend I'm still in contact with quit Transformation back in 2021 because he didn't like that they shut the church down for almost two years, by that point, it was close to 18 months, cause of the Cov. I said, yeah, God doesn't want us to live in fear. So he change churches. And then may be a bit over a year after that was that wacky "Easter service". I don't care what your background is, hard to justify that nonsense. If I was there I would've walked out after 10~15 minutes if not sooner.
Disgusting is an understatement. There's no doubt about Mike Todd being a false teacher but.. I'm also concerned about the guy who actually stood there and let him rub it on his face? Yes, we definitely need to pray because no one, long as they have breath in their bodies, is beyond God's ability to save.. 🙏🏾
@evansglobal1 Jesus was God, an had no sin or even the ability to sin. And he didn't smear it all over his face. He made a clay and an applied it to his eyes. And the guy was healed of his blindness. Michael Todd is, clearly, a false teacher and has zero ability to do much of nothing other than to preach heresy.
Yeah.. everyone is false these days according to some of these academic theologians. If you don't sound like them, THEN YOU MUST BE FALSE. LOL.. He called Kenneth Hagin false because of that part of his ministry he highlighted, ignoring every other thing. I don't agree totally with Kenneth Hagin on everything (even alot of his offspring in ministry do not too) but to call him false??? Nah!
Interesting the Bible has about 60 verses teaching on the subject of prosperity but this current generation of leaders swears God does not teach this. What they actually mean to say is that it should not be the focus over the truth about the Gospel. Which is the death, burial, and Resurrection of Christ. God does want us to prosperous in all our ways but we have to understand that trials do come to build us up so that we can be prosperous. So that we can walk in boldly in our callings and most importantly to Glorify his triumph. ¹Its called sanctification. The interesting thing is they ignore the first to bullets of Communion and Five fold. Communion is to remember Jesus sacrifice for us all and that we too share in his suffering. Five fold is utilized for the building and uplifting of the Kingdom according. Skip and ignore those two very vital points to talk about what he believes is the prosperity gospel. What I will say is this I don't always agree with Pastor Todd on many things but there's a correct way to handle conflict. Matthew 5 or 18. Lets do these things in order because there are non believers watching how we handle these things. Well just my thoughts I pray that we all come together and be one body in Christ teaching repentance, sanctification and baptizing them in the name of the Father of the Son and the Holy Spirit. To walk in obedience and his love. Peace
Now, it is pretty obvious that michael todd is a false teacher, he is controlled by the pride of life, with his controversial preachings that forcefully make people say something about it. And believe me in this brothers and sisters, that kind of ministry is very much a false one. But to deny God's will for you to be happy, whole, and satisfied with your life is also not right, many people will oppose preachings of prosperity, and immediately say that its prosperity gospel (not michael todd tho i truly believe that he's preaching prosperity gospel) when in fact jesus himself says in john 10:10 (nkjv) "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. " One, abundant here does not mean millions of dollars to spend on your wants, but it is to move above lack. Two. Yes, abundant here is not riches and fame, because they are ephemeral and ultimately bring no satisfaction, but as you learn to grow more into Christ (which is the ultimate meaning of the verse because Christ is the only one who can bring abundant life) you begin to understand that it was never his will for you to starve, constantly be unsatisfied with yourself because you can't do things right, or be poor (im talking "I dont have enough to give others" poor.) I wanna insert the act of tithing, those who have truly been saved will understand that tithing is a happy gesture, not something out of obligation, wanting to get something out from God, or one that is filled with regret as you hand the tenth of your harvest. Now if it was God's will for us to be generous, not just to the church but to others as well, and if his blessings were only spiritual growth (although this is a crucial blessing) this would mean that we are only to give people and the church something that is of the spirit. Therefore all under shepherds are to be accused of robbery (and at such a large scale!) But why do we instinctively know that this is not the case? It is because we know that God is the one in charge of our finances, he is Jehova Jireh after all. So while yes, there are, sadly, false teachers like Michael Todd, believe that what God wants for you is for you to live abundantly. Allow the holy spirit to move in your life in ways you cannot fathom, and in ways that will just leave you in awe and wonder. He loves you, and he provides. God bless you all ❤️
The prosperity gospel takes God’s truth about healing and God’s provision to the extreme. Many prosperity preachers are greedy and covetous and probably are not even saved. This doesn’t mean that God’s promises for providing for his people aren’t true. Also with healing these people shame the sick and many times lie and have false miracles to bolster their following. This does not mean that God’s promises to heal are not true. James 5:15 says that “the prayer of faith shall save the sick” and Matthew 8:17 says that “he himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses” proving that healing is part of the atonement. Healing is not always easy and sometimes we fail but if we really do believe and doubt not we shall recover. That is a promise from God’s own word. Jesus said that one of the signs that would follow them that believe would be “they shall lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover”. Costi and the Calvinist cessationists are the extreme on the opposite end of the prosperity preachers. They deny that God even answers the prayer of faith and believe that everything is sovereignly ordained so if we get sick we should just accept it as God’s will and die. This is not Bible faith. I would add that they don’t even believe that it is God’s will to save everyone so how could they believe that it’s his will to heal everyone. We should not join the covetous false teachers or the unbelieving believers known as cessationists. We should just read the Bible and believe that it means what it says!
7:00 - i think he did apologies for this. you have not done enough in this video to call him out as a false teacher. one person i think deserves this way more is benny hinn. maybe joel but mike is extra(great communicator) but not a false teacher. he hasn't preached the word of faith gospel as far as i know but he isnt perfect .
The hypocrisy of some Christians is astounding. When you’re sick you go to a doctor. When you need money you get a job. When your mental health is threatened you go to a therapist. Yet you claim it is wrong for us to believe God for those things supernaturally? The same things Jesus did and taught are now wrong? Didn’t Jesus provide finances at the wedding, to Peter and the 5,000 & 4,000? Didn’t Jesus heal people supernaturally? Didn’t Paul tell us to be drunk in the Spirit in Ephesians? It seems you only read the Bible to prove your point not to yield to what God is saying. I don’t know which loving Father doesn’t want to give His children everything they need and then some. Are you just better than Michael Todd and Kenneth Hagin or are you also better than Jesus?
Mike Todd did not spit to heal but to mock that's the difference. The word of God is sufficient and doesn't need Mike Todd's drama to make it powerful. What he did was unnecessary and disturbing. He did not do it with the same intentions and heart as Jesus that's the difference. Mike Todd has been out of order for a while with his preaching. The Bible calls us to judge righteously and be our brother's keeper. Mike needs to be prayed for and stop leading new believers astray.
@@michellepahla6928 Well stated. Mike Todd does THEE MOST to get God's message across & he really doesn't have to. It seems there's way too many "yes men/women" around him agreeing with the theatrics. He came to my church a month ago; I really did my best "not missing the message by focusing on the messenger" and did well at it until he pulled out the props for his show at the very end of the message. All in all, like news stations in a major city, they all talk about the same thing. Doesn't mean we have to watch each to get what we need.
I wonder what the people thought when Jesus actually performed this miracle? Did it not get messy? Even though the man was healed, I’m sure there were still people with ill willed thoughts against Jesus as they did with his whole ministry. This is the same role you are playing. There was a message behind Michael Todd’s illustration. You should be careful how you are conducting yourself criticizing another man of God. You could be indeed going against God.
Mike Todd has some serious doctrinal issues, sure. Not arguing that. But you need to fix your approach. This wasn't a sound critique, this was a roast. You intentionally used harsh and inflammatory language when what he needs is a simple call to repentance. Also, Instead of asking us to pray for him as some sort of insurance policy, why not just pray in the actual video? Bottom line is, while I agree that Mike Todd is in need of correction and discipline on some of his talking points and behavior, I think you're being very irresponsible with how intentionally dismissive and snarky you're being.
Take Todd's messages out of context again. If you've read your Bible, you would see what happens when you try to come against God's people and wrongfully accuse them. God will stand up for and protect them, and your words will have no power or meaning.
? i dont know but is it good to call leaders out online? how can you identify a false teacher? what about this passage? 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
My prayer lately has been that of spiritual discernment. So that I can discern between false teachers and those men and woman who are connected with God daily and follow sound doctrine.
This is ridiculous and at this point I believe you, along with a few others, are trying to shame him. I can understand taking issue with certain things like the spitting illustrations, but the facts are that was his brother AND he openly apologized for this LAST YEAR. Secondly, as a Christian man, you do need to be whole in the areas his church statements said. You need to have faith, fitness and family. Faith is obvious but you need purpose, emotional fitness, physical fitness and certainly financial fitness. Prosperity is not always “riches” and I’ve never heard him speak about being rich. prosperity is have the needed resources to accomplish the mission of Christ. You can’t give the poor, feed and meet other needs without money. You certainly can’t have a family. So nothing in those statement allude to that. This is REACH badly. I think you should consider watching Ruslans approach to disagreeing with teaching and also commending teaching.
@@ScBales1 In that case I also pray you reached out to Pastor Todd before posting this public criticism of him. Do not forget, that is your brother in Christ.
I hope you give whichever political candidate you didn't vote for a call before you publicly criticize their policies. I hope you spoke personally to Ted Bundy before you rightly condemned his murders. I hope you personally called the local Imam to tell him you don't agree with Islam before you ever speak about your disagreements with Islam. I hope you personally called the head of the Mormon church before you discuss how Mormonism is not compatible with biblical Christianity. I hope you called the denomination next door to your church before you openly discuss your disagreement with them on matters of baptism and church polity. I hope you emailed Costi to talk with him about the proper way to call out false teachers before you made your comment. The biblical mandate to go to a brother in love is restricted only to brothers in the faith. If you don't believe someone to be a brother on the ground of them preaching a false gospel, you have no obligation before God to go to them, but you do have an obligation to tell people that he does not preach the truth.
“I pray that you may prosper IN ALL THINGS, even as your soul prospers” - 3 John 1:2 If a preacher is teaching and preaching the gospel of Christ and helping believers experience “progress and joy in the faith” - Philippians 1:25 pls do not call them false teachers When Paul spoke on false teachers in the book of Galatians, over multiple chapters, he spoke about people that “added” to the gospel of Christ, that you should be circumcised or you attain salvation by works etc If a pastor (ie a shepherd) tells his congregation that it is God’s will for them to prosper, HE IS NOT ENTIRELY WRONG and he is not a false teacher for that The only thing you can accuse him of is not equipping his disciples to stand in times of trial and leaving them at risk of abandoning the faith or stumbling as Jesus said in John 16:1. The only thing I believe you can accuse them of is leaving their church family with a “glass jaw”. Above all, the Word of God is our guide (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and the gospel is our only message
According to Phillipians 1:18 the message of Christ is being preached so why does that matter? Let's look at the rest of what the Concrete states on that website and you can see he lists out the true gospel of Christ. So let's continue to pray for him and bless him and his ministry as the Lord commands us to do.
People would rather make RUclips videos judging and condemning people instead of having honest conversations with these people and this is why the Kingdom is so divided. We think that this helps the Kingdom but it doesn’t.
This helped a lot in my discerning that Mike Todd preaches modalism and not the true Gospel. I didn’t see any judgement in this and Costi did a great job in calling these false teachers out publicly as scriptures says we ought to. This isn’t Todd’s only time preaching a false gospel.
I’m so glad that in 2021 when I first heard about him, I only watched his first sermon and that was it. So many things about him quench the Holy Spirit. It’s sad that so many people are on his bandwagon. But I pray that God will reveal to them how they are being led astray. May God have mercy on not only Mike.. but others who are leading God sheep astray. False teachers might take this lightly.. but God doesn’t. There is a higher price to pay on judgment day for those who are teachers, pastors, apostles, bishops & fathers 💯
SMH You used a video he apologized for in the very next sermon to weaponize against him ;for what to sell books 🤦🏾♂️. Michael Todd is a human being just like you he never proclaimed to be something he’s not. At the end of every sermon he’s vulnerable in telling us he use to be a liar, manipulator, and porn addict before he found Christ. I love you as Christ love us❤ and I pray 🙏🏾that he gives you a better way to feed your flock
If the Bible alone is sufficient then how can someone use it to deceive? How can the inherent word of God be interpreted subjectively by so many denominations? Where can you find the right denomination? The Bible is not a book it’s a library of books. The books of the New Testament was written in the apostolic age. There were books written in that same time period that claimed to be the word of God but we’re not put into the cannon. Which community decided? Wouldn’t that community be the church? How can you trace your non denominational church to an organized church that complied the cannon of scripture that you base your church on? The problem with your church is you think is a product of the Bible. The Bible is the product of the church my friend.
Kenneth Hagen is beyond your understanding. If you’ve ever needed a miracle or seen a miracle then you can understand Kenneth Hagens preaching. Sorry you don’t get to disparage his name and not get called out on it.
Oh, my God. That was a bit shocking. I hope I’m not blasphemous. I am actually calling on my God. This is…too much. The message Todd made May have some kind of truth but the act was very disgusting, and I wonder about the message at all now. You’ve just pushed me over the edge with this one (in terms of whether or not I can trust Todd). What….did I just watch.
Why classify home false though? I just see a weak shepherd but not a false teacher. The doctrinal part is concerning and so is his lavish lifestyle, but the message wasn’t false? Bad hermeneutics but not wrong point that’s why I’m thinking weak not false.
I am no fan of Michael Todd… but all Costi did here was show the worst (and grossest) example of Todd’s antics. I’d like to see examples of times where he explicitly preaches health and wealth/name it and claim it theology. If you’re going to label someone a false teacher gotta back it up with more evidence
@@BC0555I mean I guess? The mission statement on the churches website isn’t a good look. I don’t have a problem with people aspiring to better their lives but having a section on the website titled “health and wellness” ain’t it… I personally would’ve liked to see some sermon examples where this is preached not just him spitting on his brother.
My comment on Costi Hinn: Gal.6.1:- Dear brothers and sisters, if another Christian is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. (NLT) Gal.6.1:- Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. (MSB) I believe this scriptures should speak to our hearts. We should be careful on the way we approach this issue of false teaching. Jesus Christ never calls a man to expose another man. Our main job is to make disciples (students) of all nations, not make haters of other men. We have had enough of pastors preaching against other pastors on their pulpit instead of the Word of God which changes lives and works wonders. Jesus Christ strictly warns against judging another person because we are not holy ourselves (Matthew 7:1-5). Instead of wasting much time condemning the actions of another person, why not spend that time working on your own actions which are imperfect (Matthew 7:3-5)? Romans 3:10-18 (KJV) declares, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Romans 1:21-32 KJV adds, ”Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Romans 2:1-11 BSB summarises, “You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. For God does not show favoritism.” Can we all see that? Everyone of us is guilty of something and so we have no moral standing through judge another person. I believe what we should do when we see our brother fall is to pray for him and reach out to him if we can, not come out openly and attack him. It makes no sense calling someone false. It is God who appoints people to do His work, not you. And God chooses whoever he wills. God is not restrained by your opinions, emotions or sentiments. He will use whoever He wants to use to do whatever He wants to do whether you like the person or not. Settle that in your heart. God's ways are higher than yours. God does not even see most of the things we argue about in Christianity. We argue about dress codes, hairstyles, tattoos and other controversies that are just distractions from the Great Commission. We should pray for all men, not argue about men. We should focus on the gospel, not on controversies. And speaking on the gospel, Paul the Apostle had this to say: “Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: but the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.” (Philippians 1:15-20 KJV) So now I leave you to your heart. Your focus should be that Christ is preached and souls are saved. No matter the denomination or mode of preaching of the person, whether Orthodox or Pentecostal, Adventist or Eucharist, if the message leads people to Christ then you should have no problem with the person. No matter the dress code of the person preaching or the way the person preaches, we should be sure that the person is preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Once we are sure that the person is preaching the gospel, we should leave him to God. Attempting to judge the person is taking the place of God. And God will not share his place with anybody. Let that sink into your heart. Blessings beloved. - Evangelist Global Gospel Ndep
Thank you for saving lives with this video, because that's literally what you're doing by warning those who are being led captive to false teaching. Thank you for walking out all of scripture, including this which may not be so comfortable and easy to do.
Im confused, he used the spit take to say that he’s false because he tried to physically depict something? There’s hardly any scripture that he referenced to say that he was false, definitely maybe the host should research a little more on Mike Todd. He’s had several sermons saying that you have to AVOID prosperity Gospel.
If you wanted to expose him as a false teacher it would have been best to use clips of his actual teachings. You used one of his illustrations that he already admitted that it took away from his message the message itself was still powerful. A false teacher is false through their message and what becomes of their message. I have not seen Michael Todd teach a message that drives people toward him or even his church for that matter only toward God.
I’m not a member of Mike Todd’s church but I have an issue with people publicly criticising men of God with little to no scriptural backing Someone’s immaturity and misunderstanding of scripture does not make one a false teacher We see when studying theologians that people might have different interpretations to a particular scripture It doesn’t mean that scripture has different interpretations but like the Word of God says, (1 Corinthians14:32) the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet It could be “rhema” I don’t think it is But I do not think it is enough to qualify someone as a false teacher
I disagree. If someone consistently takes Scripture out of context, they should not be behind a pulpit preaching the Word of God. We are to protect God’s Word, not give someone a pat on the back for getting the glory that God deserves. I’ve watched numerous TikTok videos of Mike Todd and that’s what led me to this video. I typed in “Is Mike Todd a false teacher” in Google. Then boom! This video pops up.
This is exactly why, Christianity is always highly scrutinized. Because in no other religion do you see one person tearing another person down, and pass it off as “wisdom” to help people. Because this notion that people change people and that God is a by-product of that person is what has us stuck. I know that the people that agree with this will comment, but all this man did was show how divided the Christian community really is. Stop being God, make the difference in your community, city, state. And let God take care of the rest. Instead of scrutinizing someone by playing 10-15 second clips and giving no other context, other than the one that favors your stance. God is love!
It absolutely says to reveal false teachers AND religions! So many people are blinded by false teaching by these false preachers. How else will they know the false teachings and the source?! What you do with that information is on you.
We are called to reveal the TRUTH. Even the apostles did this... called out false teachers and teachings. Jesus did it! We are to follow in their example.
Wow…it’s all coming together. I didn’t realize he was the one who put spit on the guys eyes 😮 Also thank you for pointing out “don’t even go to conferences where he is preaching”. I have tried & tried to get our now former Pastor to understand this about IF Gathering speakers condoning Latasha Morrison & many other social justice vs Biblical justice lovers. Keep warning the flock! Sadly many of our pastors now days are not, instead they’re inviting the wolves right in.
I am in the same boat....I go to a baptist church and have been going for awhile with my husband to see how things go but we aren't members. It's been very hard to find a church home. the churches we've been to either have unsound women Bible studies or the church is literally dying, there is no one our age at all. most are 70 and older. what do we do about it? really discouraging
@@shieldoffaith8798 I’m sorry it is tough I know. We are looking for a church home now. For us top priority: “Do they handle the Word rightly?” There’s a good possibility we may end up at a church with the majority quite a bit older than us as well. But…I would say…there are MANY others in the same boat as us who will be trying to find a church who shepherds correctly. The true Christians will be looking for a real church. It may be little by little but I do believe this will happen. So those little churches preaching the Word right, will grow with the right people. I’d rather be in a church where they obey God & not have all the bells & whistles than to disobey God. I believe we can fully embrace our new church family of different ages if we are all standing on the Word of God together. 🙏🏻 Praying you find a good church home too.
@@BeksWorld I believe that the Church will go "underground" in near future. There were no big cogregation Churches in the New Testament, all home gatherings. Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well that one day and this day has come that man must worhip the Father in Spirit and in Truth (not at this mountain nor the Temple.) To me that has insenuated that we are not confined to buildings/temples/synagogues plus since the Holy Spirit has came down from heaven, we are now His temples that live inside of us. I hope this blessed you hallelujah !
What is the opposite extreme of the prosperity gospel ? Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Matthew 19,21)
Some folks have itchy ears. If only they would read their Bible as much as they follow anyone that calls themselves a pastor. You would know them by their fruits shouldn’t be taken lightly. Build a relationship with God and he will give you the discernment needed.
I don't understand why being prosperous is such a bad thing. As far as I know, there's nothing good or holy about poverty and lack. Let us be very careful in assuming we are right because even the pharisees thought they were doing the work of the Lord.
Here’s the thing: I have an uncle who was a known meth-user since the year prior to my birth (1983). My entire family who was steeped into church had given up on him, didn’t want him NEAR us. He robbed, stole and assaulted so many people. Well guess where he is now? He’s the HEAD Deacon of a church in Washington D.C. and owns TWO businesses. Apparently, Mr. Todd started visiting/volunteering at the prison ministry where he was… Todd spoke life into him, challenged him and continued to visit him & helped him to get on his feet. Yes, this young, black, educated fella became a mentor and spiritual inspiration, to a METH-head who was 29yrs his senior. You people may MEAN well but you would be better served, removing the moat out of your OWN eyes first. NO being on this planet is without fault. But I pray for this young brother that Heaven used to save my uncle’s life (and one day, his death).
Instead of doing a RUclips video about him, you should sit down and talk to him. If you cannot talk to him, then you shouldn't speak about this matter openly. Pray for him and allow God to do the rest.
We are told to watch out for false teachers!! These teacher's will lead you straight to Hell!!! Don't believe he should not warn the world.. the Bible tells us to be!!!
It’s pretty evident to me there is a lot of misunderstanding in the church around what a false teacher is. It seems that majority of people who call out false teachers do it based on what others have labeled false teachers, and not really based on the Bible. So let’s examine and review. Exhibit A: Paul towards the end of 2nd Corinthians brought up the term false apostles. It’s the famous “Satan masquerading as an angel of light” reference. But before you are quick to throw that term around for a tv preacher you don’t like, why did Paul use that term? Read the context. It’s because those other apostles were criticizing Paul’s legitimacy as an apostle based on his appearance, his speech, and his lifestyle. Basically they were comparing him to other leaders and using that as the basis for calling him false. Those are the arguments and strongholds Paul was casting down to the obedience of Christ. That was the other Jesus, different spirit, and different gospel Paul was arguing against: teachings from false apostles who legitimize themselves by how they compare themselves to others, and deceive other believers into doing the same, rather than understanding what truly makes someone a legitimate apostle, which isn’t based on appearances or privileges but rather, signs, wonders, and mighty deeds. Paul then lists off the things people look at in the natural that other apostles use to boast and legitimize themselves, calling it foolish, yet proving he even has those credentials too. But he would rather focus on the ministry God gave him, which isn’t to compare himself to others or to the accomplishments of others, but rather to edify the body, and increase faith of believers in the regions God sent him. Exhibit B in the next comment…
Exhibit B: Paul brings up false teaching again in Galatians. It’s a classic passage used by people who call out false teachers. Paul talks about: turning to a different gospel…perverting the gospel of Christ… and if anyone does, let them be under God’s curse. 😳 pretty strong language. But what teaching was he warning against specifically? What gospel? Should we throw this strong language around to condemn any teaching? In context, Paul was warning against false believers who were instructing gentiles to be circumcised. He reiterated that we are justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law. He even gives examples of the wrong teaching like observing special days and months and seasons and years according to the law. He says in Christ, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value, only faith expressing itself through love. Exhibit C in the next comment. (I hope you’re starting to see that we mislabel false teachers not actually based on what the Bible labeled them as).
Exhibit C: three more examples about false teaching come from 1 Timothy. First Paul says “command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer”. Okay. This is important. It validates calling out false teachers. But what are they teaching? What should we tell them to stop teaching? Luckily we don’t have to dig deep to know what teachings he’s referring to because in the next verse he says they were “devoting themselves to myths and genealogies which promote speculations rather than advancing gods work which is by faith.” That certainly is much different than what we condemn false teachers for today. Then, later in 1st Timothy, Paul describes how in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons… hypocritical liars whose conscience has been seared with hot iron. Yikes! Such strong language again here. And should be very familiar if you have ever heard someone call out false teachers. But as always, what’s the context? Chapter 4 verse 4 says: “They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.” Wow. Such a harsh rebuke and yet the teaching he warned against was forbidding to marry and abstaining from certain foods. Very interesting considering the context we choose to use that language. And thirdly, in chapter 6 Paul warns against teachers who are “conceited and understand nothing... they have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth”. Another strong rebuke. But what were those teachers doing? In context, they were teaching “godless myths and old wife’s tales rather than training yourself to be Godly… godliness has value for all things… holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” So like before, they were limiting people to a certain type of teaching: godless myths and old wife’s tales, which doesn’t add value to anyone’s life, as opposed godly teaching which trains people in all kinds of things that have earthly and heavenly value. He then reiterates how godliness has value for all things by discussing multiple different things, such as dealing with widows, elders, slaves. And this is the kind of Godly teaching he commands Timothy to teach. Whereas, the false teachers don’t teach or agree that godliness has value for all things. Their pride, lack of knowledge, obsession with arguments, and suppression of the truth cause them to be against teaching the value godliness has for all things. They see that kind of Godly teaching as a means for financial gain rather than as having value for all things. Paul isn’t against money. He previously said elders should get paid double, and told rich people to be generous and rich in good deeds. What he was against was teachers who saw adding value to people’s lives in all kinds of ways as just a money grab. Godliness isn’t about money. People who only see money fall into all kinds of pitfalls. He warns Timothy to stay clear of this kind of Godless chatter and opposing ideas that appear knowledgeable because all it does is cause people to depart from the faith. How many times have you seen a preacher condemn another preacher as a false teacher because they teach how godliness has value for all kinds of things? They are condemned by others for teaching things that add value, through books they write and sell, earning them double the honor in their wages as scripture discusses. They are rich in good deeds and put their trust in Jesus not their wealth, just like the Bible says to. And yet other teachers come along and call them false, believing their actions to be just a money grab. And then people leave the faith as a result of this false criticism. Can you see how we adopt the strong language used in the Bible about false teachers, and yet our application of those verses is very different from what those verses were actually warning about?
...Apparently you ( ALL ) have NEVER READ: Ezekiel 2:1-3:26; 13:1-23; !!18:1-32!! 20:1-22:31 and 33:1-33!! ( King James Bible ONLY! ) ...from Niles L.

It's like Todd is covering his tail with that message of, "sell the dream car back." Because people followed his crazy faith season and bought things they couldn't afford, and when payments built up, they obviously saw they can't afford it so now what? Todd's message of crazy faith being to sell it back... Literally is a common sense thing to do this, but he's making it seem like a holy revelation of crazy faith... which covers his tail and lies.
show me where it says to hunt down false teachers and build a ministry based on calling out people you don't agree with... get a life people. Follow Him, if you were busy with following Jesus you wouldn't spend so much time worrying about others poor theology.
People who dont believe we should prosper or believe in the Baptism of Holy Spirit as in gifts and being slain, Holy laughte, etc should just be quiet about the truth. To many people have religious spirits and need them casted out of them or are oppressing them.
Between the blab and grab it mob and the hyper Calvinist mob The church is being ripped apart But I’ve read the book and I know how the story ends God is great and the gates of hell will not prevail against the army of the Lord. ✌️
I don’t have a weak stomach. I didn’t think this would affect me. In fact I’ve always been the person who everyone calls on to clean up the worst messes but this made me sick. Sick and angry. Some of us are out here desperately trying to find the truth , studying and praying every day to get it right, then you have men like this making a complete mockery of the word of God. Thank you for exposing these ungodly men and women.
We are in an age where people are stepping into leadership and other roles without being led of God and/or being mentored/pastored. So called “Social Media pastors”. As quick as they rise they will fall. We all need guidance.
YES LETS TALK ABOUT IT !
@phrsh293 OR not even being born again (saved) nor regenerated by the Lord Jesus.
The final nails in the coffin to reveal even more of Todd's true colors is the recent hire of Carl Lentz. That is all you need to know.
YOU WERENT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTED THAT TOO!!! it’s all too noticeable.
I agree w prosperity gospel being harmful.
I’m read the Bible a lot and feel it’s important to know ur Bible.
I listen to Micheal Todd a lot.
I don’t think he speaks about prosperity. In fact I have heard him say it’s not easy to Christian. That ur problems will not be solved w Christianity.
I think this is an important point that should be made.
I like his honesty. He speaks of giving ur life to Jesus.
I think this is important.
Thank you for calling out false teachers by name! This is something that should be done more often. It's disgusting what they're doing
I don’t agree with everything pastor Todd does nor all his doctrine. But I don’t think this is beneficial nor effective overall. It seems like smaller channels use these popular preachers as clout. I’m curious if you have ever reached out to pastor Todd rather than using his name and image as clickbait.
I believe there are more beneficial ways to make believers aware of false teaching without sowing discord.
Thank you Pastor Costi for speaking the truth. So many call me “judgmental” when I do this, even when done out of love. So many are afraid to stand on sound biblical doctrine
Standing on sound biblical doctrine is based on how you live out the Bible not criticizing someone else ❤️🙏🏾 show us by your actions not by your judgment
When they call you judgmental tell them to read John 7:24 in which Jesus tells us not to judge by appearance but to judge righteously.
@@Biblespeakers_hbwe are called to criticize and judge. Read Matthew 7 on Jesus’s words on judgement and how to and not to judge.

That "drunk in the spirit" clip was extremely disturbing...
It's disturbing to religious people not people who have received Baptism of Holy Spirit and believe the whole Bible not just 90 percent of it.
This video is oozing with legalism and narrow mindedness. You say you out false teachers....Let me call you out. You are saying that whenever you see, "it's God's will for people to become whole, healthy and successful" It's an indication that you have to avoid Mike Todd. So what is the right one? Does that mean the right thing should be... "As part of Christ's work of salvation, it is the Father's will for believers to remain hurt and broken, physically unhealthy and unsuccessful in all areas of life." is that a better way of saying it? Have you ever heard them taking about managing your health and you finances and getting deeper with God so that you can expand God's kingdom in the marketplace? I don't know what your standard of a life in Christ is...but I think you glorify poverty too much. please take off that lens of legalism when you read your bible.
I find it funny how people call Kenneth a false teacher.. one day we will all see that you cannot Box the Holy Spirit and think you know him and his fullness.
may the Lord give us understanding
Amen brother! That man was used mightily by the Lord. Filled with the Holy Spirit and here we have little boy who knows nothing about the spirit life being critical.
Yeah.. everyone is false these days according to some of these academic theologians.
If you don't sound like them, THEN YOU MUST BE FALSE.
LOL.. He called Kenneth Hagin false because of that part of his ministry he highlighted, ignoring every other thing. I don't agree totally with Kenneth Hagin on everything (even alot of his offspring in ministry do not too) but to call him false??? Nah!
I am sorry that you’re being misled. Please refer to Scripture that tells us to test and discern “EVERY” spirit. The devil can “act”like the Holy Spirit, but that doesn’t mean he is.
This man is teaching to TRUTH and sometimes the truth is hard to hear.
There are many false teachers and the Bible tells us to be careful of it.
If it’s not sound doctrine, it’s NOT of God; regardless of what our opinions are.
Calling out false teachers is a good thing, yet are you in Christ? The Bible says to work out your salvation 'with fear and trembling.' Can you think of anything more horrendous than to think you are saved, only to face God's wrath on that great and terrible day? Yet, how can you know you are going to heaven?
If you are a Christian doubting your salvation, the most important words in the Bible are when Jesus says, "Whoever believes in Me..." There is nothing like these four words in the entire Bible. It is the dividing line between heaven and hell, between God's favor and His wrath, between eternity in glory or eternal torment. Think - and pray! - dear Christian. Does your life truly fulfill these words of Christ? Are you certain? That is, referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me shall have rivers of living water bubbling up inside Him." Are you, indeed, seated in the heavenlies with Christ? Do you know Him?
If you wonder if you are saved, do not fear, as the solution is simple. Jesus said, "My Father will give you the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks of Him." Is there anything more certain than the promises of God? If you have asked God, but not received, try thanking the Lord, as if you have already received the Holy Spirit. Get those rivers of life flowing in your life before you stand before Christ and hear those horrific words, "Depart from me; I never KNEW you." Work our your salvation with fear and trembling! Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
Sir this is not calling out false teachers. This is basing all tour claim on one sermon illustration that went completely wrong which the man repented and owned up to. So if a pastor makes a mistake on stage he is suddenly a false teacher ? You also based other claim on how he chooses to use his wealth so he’s not allowed to show the world how God has blessed him Just because you don’t agree with his methods does not make one a false teacher. People who are agreeing with you without going and doing their own research they are the sheep being led astray
I agree with everything in the video. Completely agree. But I am nervous for this video series. You are placing yourself in an authoritative position by creating a series like this. This isn’t a bad thing necessarily, but I pray you feel the weight of it. These videos will cause division. I pray the division is good, necessary, and from God. But please, please be careful as you create this series. It’s not hard to create a highlight reel of bad moments from any preacher in the spotlight. A bad moment doesn’t mean someone is a false teacher. A disagreement over tertiary issues doesn’t mean someone is a false teacher.
I trust God has led you to create this series of videos. I just ask along with my brothers and sisters that immense prayer and counsel goes into each takedown. Unity in the Church is one of the most common themes of the New Testament. There are times to disrupt unity, but you must be CERTAIN that your disruption is an edifying act.
Best comment on the whole thread. I wholeheartedly agree with your stance. It is necessary to warn Gods people of false teaching, but I also notice that so many Christian’s have this desire to see other “Christians” exposed or torn down. We have a taste for controversy that I’m sure the Lord is in pleased with. Something I’ve had to repent of myself.
Lord give us wisdom and grace to do and say what pleases you.
KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH BROTHER COSTI because people are being led astray!

amen
First time someone sent me a video on one of Todd's teachings, I could immediately feel something wasn't right. This just confirms it. The Holy Spirit will speak to you. If you can hear His voice and you can feel that discernment...then you listen!
I don’t understand how believing that Jesus died so I wouldn’t like a thing on Earth is wrong? His message about vision was revelation that he got from the word and shared and I could agree. When God gives vision, the enemy will try to stop you. Take Joseph for example. His brothers sold him to slavery after God gave him dreams. Michael Todd had also apologized for the incident but has changed many lives for Jesus.
THIS video is dangerous. Having the balls publicly call out a false teacher is in itself dangerous, but the argument used is baseless and it panders to those who take pleasure in tearing down pastors who are in "elevated" positions. This type of video has NO VALUE in the edification of the church and Costi Hinn wears the badge of "false teacher exposer" with complete disregard for Matthew 18:15-17. Michael Todd is a professing Christian and anyone who has anything against him should go to him, not post a divisive video on RUclips.
I have listened to some teachings by Michael Todd but do not profess to be a Michael Todd follower. Like many other Christians I am wary of pastors with big platforms and my curiosity led me to watch this video, but instead of gaining clarity about Michael Todd's teachings and whether or not I should listen to him, I am left angered at the reckless & divisive behavior of Costi Hinn. Maybe I should make a RUclips video about him and HIS false teaching!
Digressing into the details of the video with the points Costi Hinn makes:
1. Hinn Says that Michael Todd is funny and a good communicator who preaches to felt needs. This is style not substance. The real question we should be asking is "is the Gospel of Jesus Christ being professed and preached by Michael Todd?"
2. Hinn ties Todd to Kenneth Hagin with ZERO evidence that Todd actually associates with Hagin. The connection? They are in the same geographic area. That would be like me tying Costi Hinn to the false teacher Benny Hinn because they share the same last name...oh wait!
3. Hinn mentions that Transformation Church has "prosperity gospel" language in its doctrinal statement. This is for sure something worth exploring, but not enough grounds to dismiss Todd and label him a false teacher. Has Hinn listened to Todd's sermons to see if he is actually teaching the prosperity gospel? It may very well be there, but no proof has been provided by the accuser.
4. Hinn then plugs his own book talking about the shortcomings of the prosperity gospel. Hmmm, what a kind coincidence...
5. Hinn then lands (crashes?) the plane by sharing a single example of Todd's teachings. Out of the hundreds of sermons (often up to 2 hrs long) preached by Todd, Hinn conveniently (cherry) picked the one illustration that no doubt many people heard about. This specific example went viral and would not take much research to find. The illustration was for sure a misstep by Todd and poor judgement, but what Hinn fails to tell you is that Todd acknowledged this and publicly repented for his misjudgment. This wasn't an example of false teaching. It was an example of a man taking an illustration too far.
There was no evidence presented of false teaching in the entire video. It has not helped me to discern if Todd is sound or not and instead I learnt that I should avoid any video that claims to out a false teacher. Hinn should be ashamed of his divisiveness. It is click bait at best, and evil at its worst.
I don’t know any of these guys but I wonder why the “prosperity preachers” never make RUclips videos about other ministries. I never see Hillsong, Bethel etc. doing these types of videos about others.
Because it would sound odd if they made videos warning people not to study Gods Word to know what it actually says.
It’s because they are too busy doing God’s work
It appears that you're calling someone a false teacher without offering scriptural evidence to refute anything they've said. From what I can tell, you make no real attempt to explain how Michael Todd has contradicted Christ. You've basically taken two clips out of context and all they do is show that you don't like his decision to incorporate a youthful personality and live examples into his messages. Factually, Michael Todd explicitly points people to Christ and teaches that God's word is final. How can he be guilty of pushing the prosperity gospel when he explains to his congregation that God is the owner of every resource and that we are only managers of money that God has given purpose? Further, there are tons of comments from people who are clearly agreeing with you because of their own biases against Michael Todd's methods and not because they have spiritual or biblical confirmation that he has lied about anything.
Here’s the thing: I have an uncle who was a known meth-user since the year prior to my birth (1983). My entire family who was steeped into church had given up on him, didn’t want him NEAR us. He robbed, stole and assaulted so many people.
Well guess where he is now? He’s the HEAD Deacon of a church in Washington D.C. and owns TWO businesses. Apparently, Mr. Todd started visiting/volunteering at the prison ministry where he was… Todd spoke life into him, challenged him and continued to visit him & helped him to get on his feet. Yes, this young, black, educated fella became a mentor and spiritual inspiration, to a METH-head who was 29yrs his senior. You people may MEAN well but you would be better served, removing the moat out of your OWN eyes first. NO being on this planet is without fault. But I pray for this young brother that Heaven used to save my uncle’s life (and one day, his death).
Well said.
This kind of person is not of God.
He puts others down to build himself up. A total empty-hearted tool of the Devil.
The first thing he does in this terrible hate-piece video was to give a few Bible verses to give him some sort of vague credibility for being unChrist-like and basically a hateful Bible-thumpin' douche.
No one that's honestly busy bringing souls to God has time for this hate-filled effort to hurt fellow Christians.
He's a fraud.
He doesn't see the beam in his own eye. He's too busy pointing at others.
Loved your comment.
It strikes me as unusual for a so-claimed minister of the gospel to speak negatively on another minister whom he has no profound relation with. I do not agree that it is the Father’s heart to blaintly call out someone by name as False teacher, publicly humiliating them online and disregarding the fact that they are a human being first before a minister. If they Are in the wrong and unaware of it, this is not the way to go in my opinion.
I for one can attest to the fact that God Almighty has in fact used imperfect Mike Todd, my brother in Christ, to allow for real transformation to transpire in my life and that of many others. Transformation that has led me to my knees and to the Cross! His humorous personality has been a source of joy and his transparency/vulnerability, a refreshment to the soul.
My suggestion is to pray for ministers we believe may be at fault for anything, to build sincere relationship with them if we care enough to reach the point of correcting, and stick with discouraging a closer circle of "sheep" of certain ministries (if need be) as a form of pastoral counselling. Publicly sharing this, however, comes off as a form of bullying for one and is lacks goodly wisdom altogether. With love,
Mike Todd is a public figure on Christian platforms so when he does blasphemous acts like the spit scene and so many others. Should as Christians we not call him out on it because he is a "pastor". People who are newly saved will think this is okay which it is not. Especially when Mike called out privately but doesn't seem to care and keeps getting worse. The Bible speaks on people who mock God. The God says in the Bible my people will perish because of lack of knowledge. The more read the Bible the more gain spiritual knowledge to see that Mike Todd's preach at this point are not inspired by the holy spirit. God's word is sufficient and doesn't need Mike Todd's drama to make it powerful. I pray the Heavenly father who revealed Himself to you when you received your salvation open your eyes and bless you with the spirit of discernment. Your loyalty should be to God's not Mike who is a false teacher.
It is not bullying, he is leading people astray having them think his out of order acts are cool. Therefore we will correct publicly and call a spade a spade no fear no favour when it comes to false teachers
What does scripture because scripture shows God's heart no your feelings. I agree that calling someone out as false teacher is a harsh statement to make but there many verses and passages where false teachers are said to come. Yes they are human but they carry the responsibility of a congregation on their shoulders. A pastor's position is a dangerous to be in because when he stands before God he's held accountable for his sermons and what he said about God. Or as James warns us that not everyone should become a pastor in Chapter 3.
Watched 4 minutes of this and it gave me the same frequency I felt when I used to watch Pornography. Low frequency content. 2 Corinthians 2:11
What?!😂
Yes! Pray for Mike to repent. That is soo important. Thank you for boldly teaching the truth🙌🏻
Yeah but meanwhile he is destroying peoples minds and souls with his health&wealth garbage.
I agree 100%. I love how you did this video out of “love” for our brother in Christ. He is increasingly showing the world not how much he loves Christ, but how much he has come to love himself! He has become increasingly uncomfortable to watch and listen to. I’m praying for him as well ❤
The increase of false teachers means our father is coming back soon Hallelujah! ✝️❤️
Not true!! You will go through the great tribulation and die for Christ.
He might tarry another three thousand years, who knows apart from God.
But allow yourself the opportunity to imagine,
how many brothers and sisters have been murdered for their faith over the past two thousand years
Imagine the Christian’s being raped and murdered at the hands of the Nazi’s
I bet they were confident of very close return of their saviour to stop the carnal craziness.
Be blessed
✌️
Just a little warnîg Jesus isn’t God the Father but i Inderstand the meaning
@@fabio8978 he most certainly is, it’s why Mary never needed a man to impregnate her, Gods spirit literally went into Mary & he used her body to create a vessel for himself as she was the purest vessel that could have been used. Remember Gods spirit departed from man when sin began increasing, it shows us God doesn’t dwell where sin is gen 6:3 “my breath will not always remain with man”
Also good to know that God came down in order to be an example for us on what to do & how to live righteously. It’s like a father wanting you to walk in his footsteps & being a physical example. The disciples didn’t always catch on to the things Jesus said when he was here but even they knew John 20:28, John 21:17
Also noting that Jesus himself declared it to Philip when he didn’t believe John 14:8-11. The father is in Jesus & Jesus is in the father, the same way that the word was in God & the word was God (John 1). The word then became flesh (John 1:14) Scripture never lies because God never lies.
@@FaithAnswered yes i agree with you Jésus is God but i said that is God the son
Pray for Mike. The Bible commands us to pray for one another when we see our fellow brothers and sisters doing wrong and to also go straight up to them and correct them. I am not sure if posting this about Mike helps him or anyone... He sure is called and chosen by God as a Pastor, he is just under attack and the body of Christ should stand in prayer for him. We are not helping when we talk about one another instead of interceeding. I have never seen Jesus spreading his disciples' shortfalls around, anywhere in the bible. He rebuked, corrected, and encouraged them to do good.
If anyone is without sin, let him pick a stone and throw it at Mike.
Love your channel bro! In this case though, I don’t think you addressed the issue well - I am not for or against Mike Todd, I just think some of your statements are broad sweeps and don’t articulate what exactly is fake about his teachings.
Eg: you cannot deny that Jesus Christ wants us to be well and healthy and “blessed” and have life abundantly. Lots of evangelical and even more conservative churches have affirmations to this effect on their website. I’m also sure you yourself don’t live in poverty and would teach your children to leave an inheritance for your children..
Also - as much as the sermon illustration is disgusting, it is nowhere near heretical or “false”. Maybe it can be classified as inappropriate or uncomfortable and a poor sermon illustration during Covid especially:- but that doesn’t rise to the level of false teaching.
It would be great if you made a second video about false teachers that goes into the specifics of what exactly qualifies someone to be “teaching false” - I would love to hear your views!
I got a couple of former gym friends (they both quit, but still stay in contact with one of them!) who were going to Transformation, actually have an old church friend's wife who is on staff there; sadly the friend passed away, had his own missionary organization. The two church friends bragged about what a great speaker Todd is and to check out one of his YT videos, which I did and I wasn't impressed at all. It was overly emotional, over acting by Todd, just didn't come across to me as someone who's authentic.
The friend I'm still in contact with quit Transformation back in 2021 because he didn't like that they shut the church down for almost two years, by that point, it was close to 18 months, cause of the Cov. I said, yeah, God doesn't want us to live in fear. So he change churches. And then may be a bit over a year after that was that wacky "Easter service". I don't care what your background is, hard to justify that nonsense. If I was there I would've walked out after 10~15 minutes if not sooner.
Disgusting is an understatement. There's no doubt about Mike Todd being a false teacher but.. I'm also concerned about the guy who actually stood there and let him rub it on his face? Yes, we definitely need to pray because no one, long as they have breath in their bodies, is beyond God's ability to save.. 🙏🏾
The guy was his brother. I feel so sorry for him
Imagine having spit smeared all over your face for no real reason.
@@mabodza836 I can't even imagine SMH 🤦🏾
Then how about Jesus who did it? Was He a false teacher? Carnal men can't understand spiritual things.
@evansglobal1 Jesus was God, an had no sin or even the ability to sin. And he didn't smear it all over his face. He made a clay and an applied it to his eyes. And the guy was healed of his blindness. Michael Todd is, clearly, a false teacher and has zero ability to do much of nothing other than to preach heresy.
Yeah.. everyone is false these days according to some of these academic theologians.
If you don't sound like them, THEN YOU MUST BE FALSE.
LOL.. He called Kenneth Hagin false because of that part of his ministry he highlighted, ignoring every other thing. I don't agree totally with Kenneth Hagin on everything (even alot of his offspring in ministry do not too) but to call him false??? Nah!
Interesting the Bible has about 60 verses teaching on the subject of prosperity but this current generation of leaders swears God does not teach this. What they actually mean to say is that it should not be the focus over the truth about the Gospel. Which is the death, burial, and Resurrection of Christ. God does want us to prosperous in all our ways but we have to understand that trials do come to build us up so that we can be prosperous. So that we can walk in boldly in our callings and most importantly to Glorify his triumph. ¹Its called sanctification. The interesting thing is they ignore the first to bullets of Communion and Five fold. Communion is to remember Jesus sacrifice for us all and that we too share in his suffering. Five fold is utilized for the building and uplifting of the Kingdom according. Skip and ignore those two very vital points to talk about what he believes is the prosperity gospel. What I will say is this I don't always agree with Pastor Todd on many things but there's a correct way to handle conflict. Matthew 5 or 18. Lets do these things in order because there are non believers watching how we handle these things. Well just my thoughts I pray that we all come together and be one body in Christ teaching repentance, sanctification and baptizing them in the name of the Father of the Son and the Holy Spirit. To walk in obedience and his love. Peace
Now, it is pretty obvious that michael todd is a false teacher, he is controlled by the pride of life, with his controversial preachings that forcefully make people say something about it. And believe me in this brothers and sisters, that kind of ministry is very much a false one.
But to deny God's will for you to be happy, whole, and satisfied with your life is also not right, many people will oppose preachings of prosperity, and immediately say that its prosperity gospel (not michael todd tho i truly believe that he's preaching prosperity gospel) when in fact jesus himself says in john 10:10 (nkjv) "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
"
One, abundant here does not mean millions of dollars to spend on your wants, but it is to move above lack.
Two. Yes, abundant here is not riches and fame, because they are ephemeral and ultimately bring no satisfaction, but as you learn to grow more into Christ (which is the ultimate meaning of the verse because Christ is the only one who can bring abundant life) you begin to understand that it was never his will for you to starve, constantly be unsatisfied with yourself because you can't do things right, or be poor (im talking "I dont have enough to give others" poor.)
I wanna insert the act of tithing, those who have truly been saved will understand that tithing is a happy gesture, not something out of obligation, wanting to get something out from God, or one that is filled with regret as you hand the tenth of your harvest. Now if it was God's will for us to be generous, not just to the church but to others as well, and if his blessings were only spiritual growth (although this is a crucial blessing) this would mean that we are only to give people and the church something that is of the spirit. Therefore all under shepherds are to be accused of robbery (and at such a large scale!) But why do we instinctively know that this is not the case? It is because we know that God is the one in charge of our finances, he is Jehova Jireh after all.
So while yes, there are, sadly, false teachers like Michael Todd, believe that what God wants for you is for you to live abundantly. Allow the holy spirit to move in your life in ways you cannot fathom, and in ways that will just leave you in awe and wonder. He loves you, and he provides.
God bless you all ❤️
The prosperity gospel takes God’s truth about healing and God’s provision to the extreme. Many prosperity preachers are greedy and covetous and probably are not even saved. This doesn’t mean that God’s promises for providing for his people aren’t true. Also with healing these people shame the sick and many times lie and have false miracles to bolster their following. This does not mean that God’s promises to heal are not true. James 5:15 says that “the prayer of faith shall save the sick” and Matthew 8:17 says that “he himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses” proving that healing is part of the atonement. Healing is not always easy and sometimes we fail but if we really do believe and doubt not we shall recover. That is a promise from God’s own word. Jesus said that one of the signs that would follow them that believe would be “they shall lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover”.
Costi and the Calvinist cessationists are the extreme on the opposite end of the prosperity preachers. They deny that God even answers the prayer of faith and believe that everything is sovereignly ordained so if we get sick we should just accept it as God’s will and die. This is not Bible faith. I would add that they don’t even believe that it is God’s will to save everyone so how could they believe that it’s his will to heal everyone.
We should not join the covetous false teachers or the unbelieving believers known as cessationists. We should just read the Bible and believe that it means what it says!
7:00 - i think he did apologies for this. you have not done enough in this video to call him out as a false teacher.
one person i think deserves this way more is benny hinn. maybe joel but mike is extra(great communicator) but not a false teacher. he hasn't preached the word of faith gospel as far as i know but he isnt perfect .
The hypocrisy of some Christians is astounding. When you’re sick you go to a doctor. When you need money you get a job. When your mental health is threatened you go to a therapist. Yet you claim it is wrong for us to believe God for those things supernaturally? The same things Jesus did and taught are now wrong? Didn’t Jesus provide finances at the wedding, to Peter and the 5,000 & 4,000? Didn’t Jesus heal people supernaturally? Didn’t Paul tell us to be drunk in the Spirit in Ephesians? It seems you only read the Bible to prove your point not to yield to what God is saying. I don’t know which loving Father doesn’t want to give His children everything they need and then some. Are you just better than Michael Todd and Kenneth Hagin or are you also better than Jesus?
Mike Todd did not spit to heal but to mock that's the difference. The word of God is sufficient and doesn't need Mike Todd's drama to make it powerful. What he did was unnecessary and disturbing. He did not do it with the same intentions and heart as Jesus that's the difference. Mike Todd has been out of order for a while with his preaching. The Bible calls us to judge righteously and be our brother's keeper. Mike needs to be prayed for and stop leading new believers astray.
@@michellepahla6928 Well stated. Mike Todd does THEE MOST to get God's message across & he really doesn't have to. It seems there's way too many "yes men/women" around him agreeing with the theatrics. He came to my church a month ago; I really did my best "not missing the message by focusing on the messenger" and did well at it until he pulled out the props for his show at the very end of the message. All in all, like news stations in a major city, they all talk about the same thing. Doesn't mean we have to watch each to get what we need.
I wonder what the people thought when Jesus actually performed this miracle? Did it not get messy? Even though the man was healed, I’m sure there were still people with ill willed thoughts against Jesus as they did with his whole ministry. This is the same role you are playing. There was a message behind Michael Todd’s illustration. You should be careful how you are conducting yourself criticizing another man of God. You could be indeed going against God.
Did that guy say "he is God Almighty"? Wow we are in the last days.
First time I saw Transformation Church I liked it. Then it got more twisted and deformed. What a shame.
once you mentioned Kenneth Hagin, I know you're part of the false teachers you're pointing out. SMH
Mike Todd has some serious doctrinal issues, sure. Not arguing that.
But you need to fix your approach. This wasn't a sound critique, this was a roast. You intentionally used harsh and inflammatory language when what he needs is a simple call to repentance.
Also, Instead of asking us to pray for him as some sort of insurance policy, why not just pray in the actual video?
Bottom line is, while I agree that Mike Todd is in need of correction and discipline on some of his talking points and behavior, I think you're being very irresponsible with how intentionally dismissive and snarky you're being.
I saw on some youtube videos today that Mike Todd just hired Carl Lentz from the NYC hillsong church. :(
I saw that too. Yikes.
A wolf hiring a wolf! 🐺
Costi Hinn. You might be the false teacher. Most false teachers don't know they're false
Take Todd's messages out of context again. If you've read your Bible, you would see what happens when you try to come against God's people and wrongfully accuse them. God will stand up for and protect them, and your words will have no power or meaning.
This was a breath of fresh air! We have been feeling this for so long! We are tired of watered down gospel.
Mike Todd needs to repent and step down- and now Carl Lenz is on his staff. Blind leading the blind.
? i dont know but is it good to call leaders out online? how can you identify a false teacher?
what about this passage?
15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
My prayer lately has been that of spiritual discernment. So that I can discern between false teachers and those men and woman who are connected with God daily and follow sound doctrine.
Ask your Lord Jesus and He will give you that discernment you need my sister.
Just wasted 8 minutes of my day listening to this, time I’ll never get back 😞
That spit was down right disgusting and disrespectful…my God …
This is ridiculous and at this point I believe you, along with a few others, are trying to shame him. I can understand taking issue with certain things like the spitting illustrations, but the facts are that was his brother AND he openly apologized for this LAST YEAR.
Secondly, as a Christian man, you do need to be whole in the areas his church statements said. You need to have faith, fitness and family. Faith is obvious but you need purpose, emotional fitness, physical fitness and certainly financial fitness. Prosperity is not always “riches” and I’ve never heard him speak about being rich. prosperity is have the needed resources to accomplish the mission of Christ. You can’t give the poor, feed and meet other needs without money. You certainly can’t have a family.
So nothing in those statement allude to that. This is REACH badly. I think you should consider watching Ruslans approach to disagreeing with teaching and also commending teaching.
You really didn’t talk about his teaching. You just showed a video we’ve already seen
I pray that pastor Costi reached out to pastor Todd before posting this. Confronting in love and praying with him also seeking Gods wisdom together.
I agree
Mike Todd only takes calls from TD Jakes, Joel Osteen, Craig Groeschel, Steven Furtick and Judah Smith.
@@ScBales1 In that case I also pray you reached out to Pastor Todd before posting this public criticism of him. Do not forget, that is your brother in Christ.
I hope you give whichever political candidate you didn't vote for a call before you publicly criticize their policies.
I hope you spoke personally to Ted Bundy before you rightly condemned his murders.
I hope you personally called the local Imam to tell him you don't agree with Islam before you ever speak about your disagreements with Islam.
I hope you personally called the head of the Mormon church before you discuss how Mormonism is not compatible with biblical Christianity.
I hope you called the denomination next door to your church before you openly discuss your disagreement with them on matters of baptism and church polity.
I hope you emailed Costi to talk with him about the proper way to call out false teachers before you made your comment.
The biblical mandate to go to a brother in love is restricted only to brothers in the faith. If you don't believe someone to be a brother on the ground of them preaching a false gospel, you have no obligation before God to go to them, but you do have an obligation to tell people that he does not preach the truth.
@@peterrivera7157If anyone preaches another Christ what happens??
“I pray that you may prosper IN ALL THINGS, even as your soul prospers” - 3 John 1:2
If a preacher is teaching and preaching the gospel of Christ and helping believers experience “progress and joy in the faith” - Philippians 1:25 pls do not call them false teachers
When Paul spoke on false teachers in the book of Galatians, over multiple chapters, he spoke about people that “added” to the gospel of Christ, that you should be circumcised or you attain salvation by works etc
If a pastor (ie a shepherd) tells his congregation that it is God’s will for them to prosper, HE IS NOT ENTIRELY WRONG and he is not a false teacher for that
The only thing you can accuse him of is not equipping his disciples to stand in times of trial and leaving them at risk of abandoning the faith or stumbling as Jesus said in John 16:1. The only thing I believe you can accuse them of is leaving their church family with a “glass jaw”.
Above all, the Word of God is our guide (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and the gospel is our only message
According to Phillipians 1:18 the message of Christ is being preached so why does that matter?
Let's look at the rest of what the Concrete states on that website and you can see he lists out the true gospel of Christ.
So let's continue to pray for him and bless him and his ministry as the Lord commands us to do.
Thank you for exposing the ravenous wolves, Pastor Hinn. God bless you in your vital ministry. 🙏☝️
Everybody is a heresy hunter now a days. Gimme a break 🙄
People would rather make RUclips videos judging and condemning people instead of having honest conversations with these people and this is why the Kingdom is so divided. We think that this helps the Kingdom but it doesn’t.
This helped a lot in my discerning that Mike Todd preaches modalism and not the true Gospel. I didn’t see any judgement in this and Costi did a great job in calling these false teachers out publicly as scriptures says we ought to. This isn’t Todd’s only time preaching a false gospel.
I’m so glad that in 2021 when I first heard about him, I only watched his first sermon and that was it. So many things about him quench the Holy Spirit. It’s sad that so many people are on his bandwagon. But I pray that God will reveal to them how they are being led astray. May God have mercy on not only Mike.. but others who are leading God sheep astray. False teachers might take this lightly.. but God doesn’t. There is a higher price to pay on judgment day for those who are teachers, pastors, apostles, bishops & fathers 💯
Costi thank God for what you are doing.
SMH You used a video he apologized for in the very next sermon to weaponize against him ;for what to sell books 🤦🏾♂️. Michael Todd is a human being just like you he never proclaimed to be something he’s not. At the end of every sermon he’s vulnerable in telling us he use to be a liar, manipulator, and porn addict before he found Christ. I love you as Christ love us❤ and I pray 🙏🏾that he gives you a better way to feed your flock
Amen brother!!!!
If the Bible alone is sufficient then how can someone use it to deceive? How can the inherent word of God be interpreted subjectively by so many denominations? Where can you find the right denomination? The Bible is not a book it’s a library of books. The books of the New Testament was written in the apostolic age. There were books written in that same time period that claimed to be the word of God but we’re not put into the cannon. Which community decided? Wouldn’t that community be the church? How can you trace your non denominational church to an organized church that complied the cannon of scripture that you base your church on? The problem with your church is you think is a product of the Bible. The Bible is the product of the church my friend.
Make sure you turn from the false teachings of calvanism. It's the most decieving false gospel I've heard.
Calvanism is not the gospel, i am a calvanist, the person and work of Christ is the gospel. So Costi is preaching it.
He did repent of this particular illustration/message and apologised to his brother for doing that. It was gross and unnecessary, but idk if it false?
Kenneth Hagen is beyond your understanding. If you’ve ever needed a miracle or seen a miracle then you can understand Kenneth Hagens preaching. Sorry you don’t get to disparage his name and not get called out on it.
Amen to that!
This little boy calling out God's general Hagin
Oh, my God. That was a bit shocking. I hope I’m not blasphemous. I am actually calling on my God. This is…too much. The message Todd made May have some kind of truth but the act was very disgusting, and I wonder about the message at all now. You’ve just pushed me over the edge with this one (in terms of whether or not I can trust Todd). What….did I just watch.
Why classify home false though? I just see a weak shepherd but not a false teacher. The doctrinal part is concerning and so is his lavish lifestyle, but the message wasn’t false? Bad hermeneutics but not wrong point that’s why I’m thinking weak not false.
He spat like he’s Jesus but he’s not Jesus. Everything goes back to biblical references.
What is the definition of a false teacher?
I am no fan of Michael Todd… but all Costi did here was show the worst (and grossest) example of Todd’s antics. I’d like to see examples of times where he explicitly preaches health and wealth/name it and claim it theology. If you’re going to label someone a false teacher gotta back it up with more evidence
Actually if you’re going to call someone a false teacher all you have to do is use the biblical standard. And that’s what Costi did.
@@BC0555I mean I guess? The mission statement on the churches website isn’t a good look. I don’t have a problem with people aspiring to better their lives but having a section on the website titled “health and wellness” ain’t it… I personally would’ve liked to see some sermon examples where this is preached not just him spitting on his brother.
says the false teacher.. lol
My comment on Costi Hinn:
Gal.6.1:- Dear brothers and sisters, if another Christian is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. (NLT)
Gal.6.1:- Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. (MSB)
I believe this scriptures should speak to our hearts. We should be careful on the way we approach this issue of false teaching. Jesus Christ never calls a man to expose another man. Our main job is to make disciples (students) of all nations, not make haters of other men. We have had enough of pastors preaching against other pastors on their pulpit instead of the Word of God which changes lives and works wonders. Jesus Christ strictly warns against judging another person because we are not holy ourselves (Matthew 7:1-5). Instead of wasting much time condemning the actions of another person, why not spend that time working on your own actions which are imperfect (Matthew 7:3-5)?
Romans 3:10-18 (KJV) declares, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Romans 1:21-32 KJV adds, ”Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Romans 2:1-11 BSB summarises, “You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. For God does not show favoritism.”
Can we all see that? Everyone of us is guilty of something and so we have no moral standing through judge another person. I believe what we should do when we see our brother fall is to pray for him and reach out to him if we can, not come out openly and attack him. It makes no sense calling someone false. It is God who appoints people to do His work, not you. And God chooses whoever he wills. God is not restrained by your opinions, emotions or sentiments. He will use whoever He wants to use to do whatever He wants to do whether you like the person or not. Settle that in your heart.
God's ways are higher than yours. God does not even see most of the things we argue about in Christianity. We argue about dress codes, hairstyles, tattoos and other controversies that are just distractions from the Great Commission. We should pray for all men, not argue about men. We should focus on the gospel, not on controversies.
And speaking on the gospel, Paul the Apostle had this to say: “Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: but the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.” (Philippians 1:15-20 KJV)
So now I leave you to your heart. Your focus should be that Christ is preached and souls are saved. No matter the denomination or mode of preaching of the person, whether Orthodox or Pentecostal, Adventist or Eucharist, if the message leads people to Christ then you should have no problem with the person. No matter the dress code of the person preaching or the way the person preaches, we should be sure that the person is preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Once we are sure that the person is preaching the gospel, we should leave him to God. Attempting to judge the person is taking the place of God. And God will not share his place with anybody. Let that sink into your heart.
Blessings beloved.

TL;DR
Definitely need more messages like this! Too many people are afraid of calling it out!
😮😅SATAN DEMONS😮😢
this video is evil
Thank you for saving lives with this video, because that's literally what you're doing by warning those who are being led captive to false teaching. Thank you for walking out all of scripture, including this which may not be so comfortable and easy to do.
Im confused, he used the spit take to say that he’s false because he tried to physically depict something? There’s hardly any scripture that he referenced to say that he was false, definitely maybe the host should research a little more on Mike Todd. He’s had several sermons saying that you have to AVOID prosperity Gospel.
That’s odd. Why would he be telling people to avoid him.
That segment where he spits on his hand and rubs it on that dude is enough to show what a nasty p.o.s Todd is.
If you wanted to expose him as a false teacher it would have been best to use clips of his actual teachings. You used one of his illustrations that he already admitted that it took away from his message the message itself was still powerful. A false teacher is false through their message and what becomes of their message. I have not seen Michael Todd teach a message that drives people toward him or even his church for that matter only toward God.
I’m not a member of Mike Todd’s church but I have an issue with people publicly criticising men of God with little to no scriptural backing
Someone’s immaturity and misunderstanding of scripture does not make one a false teacher
We see when studying theologians that people might have different interpretations to a particular scripture
It doesn’t mean that scripture has different interpretations but like the Word of God says, (1 Corinthians14:32) the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet
It could be “rhema” I don’t think it is
But I do not think it is enough to qualify someone as a false teacher
Thank you for this sir.
I don't think it's the best to judge anyone.
Scripture says,"It is to His Master that He rises or falls".
Shalom!
I disagree. If someone consistently takes Scripture out of context, they should not be behind a pulpit preaching the Word of God.
We are to protect God’s Word, not give someone a pat on the back for getting the glory that God deserves.
I’ve watched numerous TikTok videos of Mike Todd and that’s what led me to this video. I typed in “Is Mike Todd a false teacher” in Google. Then boom! This video pops up.
Uhm…. You had at Kenneth Hagin 😐
Disgusting 😢
This is exactly why, Christianity is always highly scrutinized. Because in no other religion do you see one person tearing another person down, and pass it off as “wisdom” to help people. Because this notion that people change people and that God is a by-product of that person is what has us stuck. I know that the people that agree with this will comment, but all this man did was show how divided the Christian community really is.
Stop being God, make the difference in your community, city, state. And let God take care of the rest. Instead of scrutinizing someone by playing 10-15 second clips and giving no other context, other than the one that favors your stance.
God is love!
It is out of love we tell the truth. Hearing a certain truth makes us free. Letting your brother or sister be deceived is NOT love
Please point out a scripture that says to call out false prophets by name? Scripture tells us to look out for and call out BEHAVIORS not names.
It absolutely says to reveal false teachers AND religions! So many people are blinded by false teaching by these false preachers. How else will they know the false teachings and the source?! What you do with that information is on you.
We are called to reveal the TRUTH. Even the apostles did this... called out false teachers and teachings. Jesus did it! We are to follow in their example.
Wow…it’s all coming together. I didn’t realize he was the one who put spit on the guys eyes 😮 Also thank you for pointing out “don’t even go to conferences where he is preaching”. I have tried & tried to get our now former Pastor to understand this about IF Gathering speakers condoning Latasha Morrison & many other social justice vs Biblical justice lovers. Keep warning the flock! Sadly many of our pastors now days are not, instead they’re inviting the wolves right in.
I am in the same boat....I go to a baptist church and have been going for awhile with my husband to see how things go but we aren't members. It's been very hard to find a church home. the churches we've been to either have unsound women Bible studies or the church is literally dying, there is no one our age at all. most are 70 and older. what do we do about it? really discouraging
@@shieldoffaith8798 I’m sorry it is tough I know. We are looking for a church home now. For us top priority: “Do they handle the Word rightly?” There’s a good possibility we may end up at a church with the majority quite a bit older than us as well. But…I would say…there are MANY others in the same boat as us who will be trying to find a church who shepherds correctly. The true Christians will be looking for a real church. It may be little by little but I do believe this will happen. So those little churches preaching the Word right, will grow with the right people. I’d rather be in a church where they obey God & not have all the bells & whistles than to disobey God. I believe we can fully embrace our new church family of different ages if we are all standing on the Word of God together. 🙏🏻 Praying you find a good church home too.
@@BeksWorld I believe that the Church will go "underground" in near future. There were no big cogregation Churches in the New Testament, all home gatherings. Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well that one day and this day has come that man must worhip the Father in Spirit and in Truth (not at this mountain nor the Temple.) To me that has insenuated that we are not confined to buildings/temples/synagogues plus since the Holy Spirit has came down from heaven, we are now His temples that live inside of us. I hope this blessed you hallelujah !
What is the opposite extreme of the prosperity gospel ?
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,
go, sell your possessions and give to the poor
and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
(Matthew 19,21)
Some folks have itchy ears. If only they would read their Bible as much as they follow anyone that calls themselves a pastor. You would know them by their fruits shouldn’t be taken lightly. Build a relationship with God and he will give you the discernment needed.
What a time to be making these accusatory videos... WOW...
Its just sad because at one time he was phenomenal. Its sad how greed takes a man over
I don't understand why being prosperous is such a bad thing. As far as I know, there's nothing good or holy about poverty and lack. Let us be very careful in assuming we are right because even the pharisees thought they were doing the work of the Lord.
It's not necessarily about being prosperous, it's more so about the false teachings and the deception.
The point isn’t that prosperity is bad. The point is that the prosperity gospel is bad
@@supercooldude824 okay if possible may you please explain what the prosperity gospel is?
@@TapiwaMaza search up cost hinn prosperity gospel no one will explain it better than him
Here’s the thing: I have an uncle who was a known meth-user since the year prior to my birth (1983). My entire family who was steeped into church had given up on him, didn’t want him NEAR us. He robbed, stole and assaulted so many people.
Well guess where he is now? He’s the HEAD Deacon of a church in Washington D.C. and owns TWO businesses. Apparently, Mr. Todd started visiting/volunteering at the prison ministry where he was… Todd spoke life into him, challenged him and continued to visit him & helped him to get on his feet. Yes, this young, black, educated fella became a mentor and spiritual inspiration, to a METH-head who was 29yrs his senior. You people may MEAN well but you would be better served, removing the moat out of your OWN eyes first. NO being on this planet is without fault. But I pray for this young brother that Heaven used to save my uncle’s life (and one day, his death).
Instead of doing a RUclips video about him, you should sit down and talk to him. If you cannot talk to him, then you shouldn't speak about this matter openly. Pray for him and allow God to do the rest.
Preach brother 🎉
Why do you assume he didn’t? Mike Todd has been called out numerous times. This isn’t his first
@@gratia3658 Remember how David was anointed to become king.
We are told to watch out for false teachers!!
These teacher's will lead you straight to Hell!!!
Don't believe he should not warn the world.. the Bible tells us to be!!!
It’s pretty evident to me there is a lot of misunderstanding in the church around what a false teacher is. It seems that majority of people who call out false teachers do it based on what others have labeled false teachers, and not really based on the Bible. So let’s examine and review.
Exhibit A: Paul towards the end of 2nd Corinthians brought up the term false apostles. It’s the famous “Satan masquerading as an angel of light” reference. But before you are quick to throw that term around for a tv preacher you don’t like, why did Paul use that term? Read the context. It’s because those other apostles were criticizing Paul’s legitimacy as an apostle based on his appearance, his speech, and his lifestyle. Basically they were comparing him to other leaders and using that as the basis for calling him false. Those are the arguments and strongholds Paul was casting down to the obedience of Christ. That was the other Jesus, different spirit, and different gospel Paul was arguing against: teachings from false apostles who legitimize themselves by how they compare themselves to others, and deceive other believers into doing the same, rather than understanding what truly makes someone a legitimate apostle, which isn’t based on appearances or privileges but rather, signs, wonders, and mighty deeds. Paul then lists off the things people look at in the natural that other apostles use to boast and legitimize themselves, calling it foolish, yet proving he even has those credentials too. But he would rather focus on the ministry God gave him, which isn’t to compare himself to others or to the accomplishments of others, but rather to edify the body, and increase faith of believers in the regions God sent him. Exhibit B in the next comment…
Exhibit B: Paul brings up false teaching again in Galatians. It’s a classic passage used by people who call out false teachers. Paul talks about: turning to a different gospel…perverting the gospel of Christ… and if anyone does, let them be under God’s curse. 😳 pretty strong language. But what teaching was he warning against specifically? What gospel? Should we throw this strong language around to condemn any teaching? In context, Paul was warning against false believers who were instructing gentiles to be circumcised. He reiterated that we are justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law. He even gives examples of the wrong teaching like observing special days and months and seasons and years according to the law. He says in Christ, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value, only faith expressing itself through love. Exhibit C in the next comment. (I hope you’re starting to see that we mislabel false teachers not actually based on what the Bible labeled them as).
Exhibit C: three more examples about false teaching come from 1 Timothy. First Paul says “command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer”. Okay. This is important. It validates calling out false teachers. But what are they teaching? What should we tell them to stop teaching? Luckily we don’t have to dig deep to know what teachings he’s referring to because in the next verse he says they were “devoting themselves to myths and genealogies which promote speculations rather than advancing gods work which is by faith.” That certainly is much different than what we condemn false teachers for today. Then, later in 1st Timothy, Paul describes how in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons… hypocritical liars whose conscience has been seared with hot iron. Yikes! Such strong language again here. And should be very familiar if you have ever heard someone call out false teachers. But as always, what’s the context? Chapter 4 verse 4 says: “They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.” Wow. Such a harsh rebuke and yet the teaching he warned against was forbidding to marry and abstaining from certain foods. Very interesting considering the context we choose to use that language. And thirdly, in chapter 6 Paul warns against teachers who are “conceited and understand nothing... they have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth”. Another strong rebuke. But what were those teachers doing? In context, they were teaching “godless myths and old wife’s tales rather than training yourself to be Godly… godliness has value for all things… holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” So like before, they were limiting people to a certain type of teaching: godless myths and old wife’s tales, which doesn’t add value to anyone’s life, as opposed godly teaching which trains people in all kinds of things that have earthly and heavenly value. He then reiterates how godliness has value for all things by discussing multiple different things, such as dealing with widows, elders, slaves. And this is the kind of Godly teaching he commands Timothy to teach. Whereas, the false teachers don’t teach or agree that godliness has value for all things. Their pride, lack of knowledge, obsession with arguments, and suppression of the truth cause them to be against teaching the value godliness has for all things. They see that kind of Godly teaching as a means for financial gain rather than as having value for all things. Paul isn’t against money. He previously said elders should get paid double, and told rich people to be generous and rich in good deeds. What he was against was teachers who saw adding value to people’s lives in all kinds of ways as just a money grab. Godliness isn’t about money. People who only see money fall into all kinds of pitfalls. He warns Timothy to stay clear of this kind of Godless chatter and opposing ideas that appear knowledgeable because all it does is cause people to depart from the faith. How many times have you seen a preacher condemn another preacher as a false teacher because they teach how godliness has value for all kinds of things? They are condemned by others for teaching things that add value, through books they write and sell, earning them double the honor in their wages as scripture discusses. They are rich in good deeds and put their trust in Jesus not their wealth, just like the Bible says to. And yet other teachers come along and call them false, believing their actions to be just a money grab. And then people leave the faith as a result of this false criticism. Can you see how we adopt the strong language used in the Bible about false teachers, and yet our application of those verses is very different from what those verses were actually warning about?
Thanks for taking the time to put this down!!
Who made you judge, jury and executioner... God will judge the hearts and words of men even you... this is not wise
Costi is doing as instructed by scripture and is being used as a vessel by God to steer many souls away from a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
How do i know whos false whos real teacher? Are you a real one or a false teacher?
...Apparently you ( ALL ) have NEVER READ: Ezekiel 2:1-3:26; 13:1-23; !!18:1-32!! 20:1-22:31 and 33:1-33!! ( King James Bible ONLY! ) ...from Niles L. Livingston Sr., a servant, and, an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ ( Galatians q:1-6:18; I John 1:1-5:21; John 6:46; II Cor. 11:23-12:12; Daniel 1:1-12:13; Revelation 1:1-22:21 ) ...WATCH!! ...and WHAT are you ALL going to DO when NOBODY ON THE EARTH can BUY or SELL ANYTHING AT ALL without worshipping the IMAGE OF the beast?? Rev. 13:1-18; II Thess. 2:1-12; Matt. 24:1-25:46; ...here's WHEN you will SEE God's true servants: Rev. 11:3-13; 7:1-8; 14:1-5; Ephesians 4:11-16!! ...At this time, and for the past 2000 years plus, ALL you've been seeing and apart of is THE FLESH!! ...WATCH!! ...Amen.
It's like Todd is covering his tail with that message of, "sell the dream car back." Because people followed his crazy faith season and bought things they couldn't afford, and when payments built up, they obviously saw they can't afford it so now what? Todd's message of crazy faith being to sell it back... Literally is a common sense thing to do this, but he's making it seem like a holy revelation of crazy faith... which covers his tail and lies.
show me where it says to hunt down false teachers and build a ministry based on calling out people you don't agree with... get a life people. Follow Him, if you were busy with following Jesus you wouldn't spend so much time worrying about others poor theology.
People who dont believe we should prosper or believe in the Baptism of Holy Spirit as in gifts and being slain, Holy laughte, etc should just be quiet about the truth. To many people have religious spirits and need them casted out of them or are oppressing them.
When you said disgusting, I thought you were over-exaggerating. I cannot believe what I just saw😭
Pray 🙏 Micheal humbles himself and the good Lord softens his heart
Between the blab and grab it mob and the hyper Calvinist mob

But I’ve read the book and I know how the story ends
God is great and the gates of hell will not prevail against the army of the Lord.

I don’t have a weak stomach. I didn’t think this would affect me. In fact I’ve always been the person who everyone calls on to clean up the worst messes but this made me sick. Sick and angry. Some of us are out here desperately trying to find the truth , studying and praying every day to get it right, then you have men like this making a complete mockery of the word of God. Thank you for exposing these ungodly men and women.
