A question I [Costi] am often asked now is how the Hinn family justifies such blatantly false teachings. It is simple: we adapted the doctrine of Total Depravity by twisting it to mean that our special anointing was still corrupted at times by our fallen nature. More commonly, however, we would say that God had changed His mind because people were repenting. These excuses created a moving target for our critics and worked well to alleviate concerns in circles where biblical illiteracy was rampant.
