TODD BENTLEY: Faith Healer or Same Old Scam?

From The Reformation Journal, Todd Bentley has now set up ATM machines, apparently so the crowds will have money for the 30 minute offerings and book purchases.

ATM machines have been set up, providing attendees with ready cash for the offering plate and book purchases. The offering is now a significant part of the service, taking as long as 30 minutes. Bentley has not released financial information, saying he is "too" busy keeping up with what God is doing" to pull the information together. Continues here
