“Winger will mention the various New Age practices that Bethel has indulged in over the years, including the counterfeit miracles, false prophecies, tarot cards, and fabricated visits to heaven throughout the video [which] begs the question why he defended Bill Johnson in 2022 when all of these things were documented at the time.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) In the same month that Bill Johnson permitted Kenneth Copeland to preach at Bethel Church, we imparted to transform the circumstance into a discussion on low hanging fruit while begging the question of whether internet pastor Mike Winger of BibleThinker would finally call out Bill Johnson as a false teacher.
It is unlikely a coincidence that in the same month the one teacher Winger will call a heretic preached at a church he refuses to outright condemn, that he imparted to publish his recent video, “Bethel and Bill Johnson’s Bridge to the New Age and Spiritual Fakery.” The title would implicate a warning against the teachings of Bill Johnson’s Bethel Redding, but does Mike Winger sufficiently change his position?
The answer is a mixed bag, where Winger harshens his position on Bethel, but falls short of calling Bill Johnson a heretic and false teacher. Winger begins by addressing Bethel as a movement, not a church, that is building a bridge to New Age practices and self-deception. Early on, he contends that he should have been harsher against Bethel had he known this information sooner.
