I believe he was (and I hope still is) a sincere man of God.
Preachers use theatrics like crying at the right time in their sermons. It just happens. That's the way we do church here in the U.S. It's expected so it's done. He was an evangelist for years and an evangelist and a salesman are pretty close in their mo.
I just thought of an article I read about Jimmy Swaggart back in the nineteen fifties or sixties. I doubt if I still have it but I'm gonna look. It was something I kept but I may have thrown it out in the last 20 years or so.
