The belief is that an unbeliever will jump at the chance to ask Jesus into their heart once they see for themselves that “God is real ” once they understand how loved and valuable they are. This “gospel” focuses on just showing love to people and especially performing miraculous healings and/or giving prophetic words to people. However, Todd White also teaches the “ Encounter Gospel” that is so popular with those at Bethel, Redding, and the New Apostolic Reformation movement, in general. Although he does sometimes mention sin and the cross of Christ, it is never the focus of attention. He is constantly retelling the story of how he used to be a drug dealer and atheist, and how God radically changed him into a specially anointed new kind of Christian who never struggles with sin and performs miracles every single day. Unfortunately, his presentation of the Gospel is almost exclusively about his stories and dramatic experiences, combined with on-the-spot healings and prophetic words. He comes across as genuinely loving and caring, so it’s no wonder that he has crowds of fans following him in person and online. He seems to have a video recorder with him at all times, so there are many videos of him evangelizing people with his warm and engaging personality. Unlike his much older mentors, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn, he is highly regarded as man of the people who is out there on the streets “ doing the Gospel” while “regular” Christians lead “regular” lives. This tremendous media coverage and popularity, combined with his commanding stage presence means that most Christians will accept whatever he teaches as truth. He is also famous for his YouTube videos that have been viewed millions of times, and now he’s even got his own full-length movie and $19 million training center.

Todd White is a Christian superstar who seemingly came out of nowhere and is now headlining some of the biggest conferences and stadium events around the world. How rich? In 2015 he paid himself a salary of $625,000! And he lives in this $1.3 million mansion: He is getting very rich with his speaking career, in spite of portraying himself as a guy who just walks around showing love to everyone. He clearly teaches a prosperity “gospel” similar to those men, just not as often or as obnoxiously. He is 100% clear about Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn being his mentors and spiritual fathers. None of this was captured on video, however. He was also shocked with very painful electricity by Randy Clark that made him feel like he was going to die (this was also supposed to be a good thing). Todd often tells a story of getting flipped up into the air multiple times while being shocked with very painful electricity at a Benny Hinn meeting (this was supposed to be a good thing). Todd White wants the “ Catholic Church and the Christian Church to come together.” It makes him sad that more people aren’t “the real deal,” like he is. He often brags about himself and enjoys getting lots of attention for himself, while he claims to be directing people to Jesus. Branham was a leader of the New Order of the Latter Rain movement. He claims that Christians should do psychic readings like the heretical cult leader, William Branham. This “New Breed” idea comes from the New Order of Latter Rain movement that was condemned by the Assemblies of God in 1949. He makes outrageous claims of being a sinless “ New Breed” Christian who wants to teach everyone how to be as pure as he is.

He claimed that, early in his ministry, he prayed for “about 500 people over a period of three and a half months” but then he changed this story to “I prayed for almost a thousand people over a period of three and a half months.” This ridiculous exaggeration is all on video. He claimed that God “totally healed my knee” after he originally claimed “God didn’t heal my knee.” This glaring contradiction is all on video.

This is what a con artist does in fact, Todd has said about himself: “I was a very good con artist.” Here’s a short video showing the fake trick here’s a longer video showing the fake trick. Some quick things about Todd White that are very concerning:
