True they solicit money to pay the bills and grow the ministry as do all modern day preachers of all faiths. People have to pay for buildings, employees, travel, production, witnessing materials and other stuff.

Giving is requested and not required by force.

Sure. I agree with that. There is nothing essentially wrong with a ministry asking for support. There are some ministries that do not do this as a policy.

The problem is when Bible teachers / preachers claim that listeners should contribute money to get something like healing or financial blessing from God. This is a serious distortion of Bible doctrine.

What did Peter tell the converted sorcerer who offered him money in order to get a spiritual gift? "Your money perish with you." Peter told him just the thought of this is wickedness. Yet these preachers promote this wicked thought as Bible doctrine.

What about when Elisha healed Naaman, the Syrian? After he was healed, he wanted to express his appreciation. (Nothing wrong with that.) The prophet refused it on principle. But his servant chased the man down and claimed the prophet changed his mind. The servant got punished by getting the leprosy which Naaman had just been healed of.

I guess my comments did need some clarification. Thanks for pointing that out.
