God's Word must never be altered to fit human ideas. In this article, Costi Hinn exposes the serious issues with The Passion Translation and explains why it cannot be trusted as a faithful translation of Scripture.

Not every Bible translation is created with the same philosophy or purpose. Understanding the differences can help you read God's Word with greater confidence. In this article, Costi Hinn breaks down the strengths, weaknesses, and best uses of eight popular Bible translations to help you make an informed choice.

The filling of the Holy Spirit refers to the believer's continual yielding to the Holy Spirit's control and influence. As believers submit to God's Word and walk in obedience, the Holy Spirit empowers them for holy living, faithful service, worship, and effective witness. 

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the work of the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation whereby every believer is united with Jesus Christ and permanently placed into His body, the Church.

The virgin birth is the biblical doctrine that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Mary without a human father. This miraculous event fulfilled Old Testament prophecy and affirmed both Christ's full humanity and full deity.

The incarnation refers to the eternal Son of God taking on human flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus was not merely a man who resembled God, nor was He a divine being pretending to be human. He is truly God and truly man in one person.

Sacraments are sacred ordinances instituted by Christ that visibly symbolize spiritual realities. In Protestant theology, the two ordinances commonly recognized are baptism and the Lord’s Supper because they were directly commanded by Jesus in Scripture. These practices do not save a person, but they serve as outward signs that point to inward spiritual truths.

Wrath is the holy, righteous, and settled anger of God against sin and evil. Unlike sinful human anger, God’s wrath is never uncontrolled, selfish, or unjust. It is His perfect and necessary response to everything that opposes His holiness and righteousness.

Faith is confident trust in God and in the truth of His Word. Biblical faith is not blind optimism, positive thinking, or merely believing something exists. It is a wholehearted reliance upon God’s character, promises, and saving work through Jesus Christ.

Grace is the undeserved favor and kindness of God shown to sinners. It means God gives what we do not deserve and could never earn

Some beliefs may sound similar on the surface, but the foundation tells a different story. In this article, Costi Hinn outlines six major differences that separate Mormonism from biblical Christianity.

Special revelation refers to the specific ways God has revealed Himself clearly and savingly to humanity. This includes Scripture, the person of Jesus Christ, and direct acts of God in history.

General revelation is how God makes Himself known to all people, everywhere, at all times through creation and the human conscience. It reveals that God exists, that He is powerful, and that He is worthy of worship.

The authority of Scripture means that the Bible carries the very authority of God Himself. Because Scripture is God’s Word, it speaks with divine authority over what we believe and how we live. The Bible is not merely a helpful spiritual resource or a collection of wise teachings. It is the final standard for truth, doctrine, morality, and practice.

The inerrancy of Scripture means that the Bible, in its original writings, is completely true and without error in everything it affirms. Because God is the ultimate author of Scripture and God cannot lie, His Word is perfectly trustworthy.

The sufficiency of Scripture means that the Bible contains everything God intends His people to need for salvation, faith, and godly living. Scripture is not lacking, incomplete, or dependent on additional revelation, human tradition, or cultural insight to accomplish God’s purposes.

Bibliology is the doctrine of Scripture. It addresses what the Bible is, where it came from, and why it carries absolute authority for faith and life.

Irresistible grace refers to God’s sovereign work in salvation whereby the Holy Spirit effectively calls and regenerates those whom God has chosen. This does not mean people are dragged unwillingly into the kingdom. Rather, it means that God changes the heart so that the sinner freely and joyfully comes to Christ.

Limited atonement teaches that Christ’s death was designed to actually secure salvation for those God intended to save. While the value of Christ’s atonement is sufficient for all, its saving effect is applied only to the elect. Jesus did not merely make salvation possible; He accomplished it

Depravity is the biblical doctrine that sin has affected every part of human nature—our minds, wills, emotions, and desires. Often called total depravity, this doctrine does not mean that people are as evil as they could possibly be, but that sin has corrupted the whole person, leaving humanity spiritually unable to please God or save itself.
