(2) Are
The Miracle Claims Of Reinhard Bonnke Really True? by by
David McAllister, 5/23/01
Reinhard Bonnke makes many incredible miracle claims but is his
claims really true? So called miracle claims are two a penny today, and
in fact many of the various cults, witch doctors, psychic surgeons, and
New Age healers also make the same kind of miracle claims as Reinhard Bonnke,
even an advert in a newspaper promoting a “miracle pen” had with it a number
of 'documented' healings.

Bonnke -- Africa's Most Active Evangelist by CBC.CA, Eyewitness,
Miracles
"German Reinhard Bonnke has carved out an international reputation
as one of the only Western evangelists to work with the African Independent
Churches. This has given Bonnke access to a third of all of the active
church members in Africa. According to Bonnke's own numbers, in the past
decade he has preached to 17.5 million people in Africa. He has tailored
his crusades to appeal to his African followers, offering "excitement in
the Spirit, speaking in tongues, being slain in the Spirit, laughing
uncontrollably, and dancing in the Spirit."

And Fantasies As Biblical Style Miracles Desert Bonnke In Belfast!Adapted
from report by Stephen Gordon, written By David McAllister, 7/19/01
"The truth is that Reinhard Bonnke has a ministry of exaggerated
claims and sensational storytelling that when checked out are found to
be far from the truth. How long will the church put up with such show men
who bring so much discredit to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Bonnke Exposed by We Care Ministries
"BONNKE`S miracle claims have been described as "blasphemous" by
a leading Free Presbyterian cleric. The Rev David McIlveen accused the
German evangelist of cruelly exploiting vulnerable people. "We believe
in the possibility of healing through prayer," said Rev McIlveen. "But
we also fully recognise the terrible danger of exploiting the subject of
healing.

Raised From Dead At Rheinhard Bonnke Event In Nigeria Says Hinn, Copeland,
and Elim's Canty by Jacob Prasch, Moriel Ministries, 10/02
"Although it can not be established if or not Eku ever died and
came back to life due to a shortage of medical and legal evidence, what
has been both legally and medically established beyond the pale of any
doubt whatsoever is the death of 14 Bonnke devotees crushed to death
at just one of Bonnke's African crusades alone, and the pending
law suite for 60 million Niara that goes with it. It is too bad Bonnke
didn't raise any of these victims from the dead.

Vs. The Faith Healers by Jackie Alnor
If such a program is ever produced, you can be sure you won't see
any before & after pictures of the horribly disfigured people who are
ignored at the healing crusades. Only those who look normal outwardly come
forward to testify. The deformed people don't even show up on Hinn's coverage
of his crusades. They are usually stationed together where the cameras
are trained to avoid them.

Sixteen Nigerians died and hundreds were injured during an opening
rally for a five-day revival organized in October by Reinhard Bonnke.
(14) Reinhard
Bonnke by Terry Arnold, Diakrisis Australia, Newsletter of TA Ministries
Vol.2, No.15 March/April 2002
Reinhard Bonnke is a German Pentecostal evangelist with a large
ministry mainly to African and European countries. His crusades feature
crowds of hundreds of thousands. Miracles, healings and multitudes of 'conversions'
are reported. On 6th October, 14 people were crushed to death in Nigeria
when they attempted to rush the stage to try to touch Bonnke. The parents
of one of the dead, a little baby girl, tried unsuccessfully to get the
body to Bonnke hoping he would raise her from the dead. The family then
did the next best thing and laid the body on Bonnke’s Mercedes Benz in
the hope of the baby coming back to life. Apparently they were putting
their faith in the ‘anointing’ of the faith healer. Yet Bonnke claims,
'When I step on a platform, often without any touch of mine the blind begin
to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak and the cripples to walk...Miracles
happen as if copied from the Gospels and the Book of Acts'.
(15) What
Signs Are These? by Roger Oakland, Understanding The Times, 10/02
Signs and wonders are happening all over the world! Are they genuine?
Or could these be the signs Jesus said would occur before His Second Coming?
If these signs and wonders are of God, who would want to be against them?
If the signs and wonders are deceptive, then why would anyone want to be
for them?

Bonnke, Ecumenism & The RCC - The Charismatic Renewal In The Roman
Catholic Church by Perry F. Rockwood, The Peoples Gospel Hour
The following account shows the deception and fallacy of the charismatic
movement. All during the first 2 1/2 days of the New Orleans conference
(The "North American Congress on the Holy Spirit and World
Evangelization" was held July 22-25, 1987, an ecumenical conference
of Protestants and Catholics), there were dozens of instances of speaking
in tongues, being slain by the Spirit, falling on the floor, and other
practices. Yet, on Friday night after African Evangelist Reinhard
Bonnke spoke, between 35,000-40,000 people stood on their feet in response
to his invitation for salvation. These were the very same people
who for over two days had been speaking in tongues and expressing their
desire to evangelize the world. It was a frightful sight. Bonnke
repeated his invitation so that all would understand that he was speaking
of salvation. The thousands remained standing. He then led
them into a form of a sinner's prayer which shows how confused they were
about salvation.
(17) The
Changing Face Of Christianity by Tony Pearce, Christian Witness
Ministries
At Bonnke's rally in Nigeria, 78 miracles were claimed on stage,
but no evidence was found afterwards. Bonnke cursed cancers in the name
of Jesus and claimed that those who were blind could now see. The programme
then panned to the area below the stage where people from the crowd were
being selected as to who could go on stage to testify to healing. There
was clear evidence of fakery as most would be participants were barred
from the stage. One person who was selected to testify claimed that he
was blind and could now see, but it was then shown that he could actually
see in the first place. Fifteen people were crushed to death at the rally.
The parents of a child who was killed tried to get her body to Bonnke hoping
he would raise her from the dead, but were barred from the stage. The family
did the next best thing and laid the body on Bonkke's Mercedes Benz in
the hope of the child coming back to life. All of this is a far cry from
the miracles of the New Testament.

Reinhard
Bonnke - Unbiblical Teachings And Actions by Sandy Simpson,
DITC, 10/02
This article consists
of quotes from a number of different sources. These quotes and accounts
are offered as proof the Reinhard Bonnke has been teaching heresy and promoting
a false transferable anointing for many years. He is an ecumenist,
teaches prosperity doctrines, says every Christian must speak in tongues
as a sign of the "baptism" of the Spirit, claims that faith is a force,
and preaches a gospel devoid of the power to save. He has also lied
about healings and dead raising.

(21) Are
The Claims True? by The Belfast Berean
Reinhard Bonnke [CFAN] makes incredible miracle claims, but are
they true? Miracle claims and testimonies of miracles are 'two a penny',
in fact many of the various cults, witch doctors, psychic surgeons and
new age healers make similar claims which have been 'documented'. [1]
(22) Reinhard Bonnke Allegedly
States That Jesus Christ Is Going To Appear Physically During His Crusade
Series reported by Sandy Simpson, 9/5/06
A few weeks ago on my local radio station Rhema FM 96.3 (Melbourne
Australia) Reinhard was interviewed and talking about his 8 video series
(taped from a crusade in Africa I think) that at the end of the 8th video
Jesus
would physically walk through the screen. Have you heard of this one
at all.
