There are some obvious problems with the accusations being made against "Christians" in this video. First, the denomination is never identified. From the descriptions of "healing," however, my guess is that they may be Pentecostals. Second, whoever they are, they seem to be very loosely organized, which may mean that the "priests" have very little training or actual Biblical education. Who knows how or whether they are even ordained. It sounds as if just about anyone calling himself a Christian can begin a church. This creates all kinds of opportunity for exploitation. I don't doubt that some of this does occur by "Christians" using the church as a means to enrich themselves. I pray that the true Christians in these communities stand against the liars and exploiters. Paul faced the same sort of thing to some extent in his day.
