Benny Hinn claims to be a prophet of God, and regularly issues specific prophecies regarding events that he claims will occur within specific periods of time.

Since—by definition—true prophets inspired by God can never be incorrect in their prophecies, the intellectually honest must consider Benny Hinn to be a false prophet.
