I personally know several people who were healed in BH meetings and were filled by the Holy Ghost. While much is questionable in his ministry, much is also real.
BH did drift off into heresy for a while and seems to have been being more Biblically sound in the past few years (relatively speaking). I've noticed that a lot of highly anointed ministers seem to fall into heresy by "revelation" at some point or another. This happens in the Oneness movement also.
Just look at TG on divine flesh or LS on magic hair..........(to name just a couple).......
Then it is fair to question their "anointing" also. We can and should judge by the fruit we see.
I don't doubt individuals can connect with God for real, in spite of a charlatan being in charge.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

We went to a B. Hinn meeting in Chicago once. It was strange to sit there and think, "we have as much power of God in our services as there is here". What makes the difference? I think it's just because people come expecting to be healed and God honors faith. I think He can use anyone, but He loves the faith of the people.

That's got to be it, because I doubt it if it's Benny's blowing on people.

Entirely beside the point. These people have verifiable healings. That does not validate his ministry or theology, but it DOES mean something real happens there.

Benny Hinn is a false Profit (yea I spelled that one right).
There is nothing real about Hinn and anything that happens in his proximity that is real, is the result of the faith of a believer. NOT HINN.
That man is a charlatan and a deceiver.

I had a friend that used to go to a 4Square church. He said once a month or so the Pastor would ask "Who wants to speak in tongues" and whoever wanted to they would go up front and the pastor would literally tell them to say some words and that was it, they got it. He knew that was not right. But during worship he would raise his hands and praise the Lord and God filled him with the Spirit and speaking in tongues. Was that because of that Pastors ministry? No! it had nothing to do with the man. Benny Hinn is a fraud. He has never healed anyone nor filled anyone. But he is reaping huge profits because people think it's all about him.

I don't think that having a false teaching necessarily means any and all past episodes of being used by God were fake, particularly when the doctrinal aberrations came later. I am also not so sure just being aberrant on these issues means the man can no longer be used by God.
Here is the rub! Being Used by God or being gifted does NOT work as a sign or approval that you are perfect or everyone of your doctrines are either. The Corinthians apparently had the gifts but Paul was rebuking them left and right. They were immature and selfish. The gifts are not for the purpose of showing God's approval of a man. They are not for the purpose of making lots of money. They are NOT for the purpose of claiming to have a ministry. They are for edifying others
