Article 1: John MacArthur said it’s an abomination to be a cross-dresser, drag queen, related to RuPaul’s Drag Show that Joseph Prince has allowed to be held in New Creation Church’s premises – By Rev George Ong
Article 2: Joseph Prince said his critics didn’t have results but Derek Prince had lengthened thousands of legs – By Rev George Ong
In Article 2, don’t miss the 2 videos on Derek Prince.
One is on his testimony of having lengthened thousands of legs.
The other is his warning that signs and wonders
(in the so-called healings that are done through Joseph Prince)
cannot be used to establish
whether one is preaching the truth of God’s word.
In Article 1, don’t miss the one video on John MacArthur.
An Important point which is an extract of Article 2:
What the critics are against is Joseph Prince’s constant emphasis on his Health and Wealth Doctrine
and his total absence of emphasis on costly discipleship, suffering, persecution and martyrdom
– themes which were closely associated with Jesus and even prominently taught by Him.
This lop-sided emphasis is a major distortion of Jesus’ teachings and the Christian Faith.
The bottom line is
Joseph Prince isn’t preaching the Jesus of the Bible
and he is giving a false picture of the Christian Faith.

In a sermon video, John MacArthur said;
Please click here to view the 1-minute video:
“Deuteronomy 22:5,
“A woman shall not wear a man’s clothing,
nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing;
for whoever does these things
is an abomination to the Lord your God.”
“Abomination” is a very strong word.
“Detestable” would be a synonym.
It is detestable to God.
Any cross-dresser, drag queen….
is an abomination to God.”
“And Satan has done it
by attacking the fathers relentlessly;
and it can’t get worse than it is.
It doesn’t go beyond being a drag queen;
it doesn’t go beyond putting a drag queen
in an elementary school.
That is perversity beyond comprehension.
That’s the darkness.
That is the present darkness.
And now, going back to the text of Scripture,
I hope that will help you understand
what it means that we are to have nothing to do
with the unfruitful deeds of darkness,
but we are to walk as children of light.”
John MacArthur has preached from Deuteronomy 22:5
that cross-dressing and drag queens
are an abomination to God,
and the church should have nothing to do
with such perverse and unfruitful deeds of darkness
because we are to walk as the children of light.
What is unimaginable is that
Joseph Prince has permitted
what is abominable to God
– the RuPaul “Drag” Show
which involves drag queens and cross-dressing
to be performed in the premise of New Creation Church.
If Joseph Prince can permit
the RuPaul “Drag” Show
which is an abomination to God
to be performed right on the church premises,
of New Creation Church,
how can he not be an accomplice of Satan,
and how can he not be a heretic?
Article 2: Joseph Prince said his critics didn’t have results but Derek Prince had lengthened thousands of legs – By Rev George Ong
In a weekly Sunday sermon aired on YouTube on 2 July 2023, Joseph Prince said;
Please click here to view the 25-second video:
“Because Jesus went about,
three-fourths of his ministry was healing the sick.
I don’t know how we can say
that we cannot preach that (healing) today.
I think we should not be copping out
on our lack of results (healing)
in our ministries and churches
by saying that God doesn’t do that today (healing).
Don’t knock those that do (healing).”
I have said time and again
that Joseph Prince has the evil compulsion
of misrepresenting the views of his critics.
In this sermon,
I am giving you another concrete proof
that Prince has done it again.
By saying,
“I don’t know how we can say
that we cannot preach that (healing) today,”
“by saying that God doesn’t do that today (healing),”
Joseph Prince is categorically stating
that his critics have the view
that he cannot preach on healing,
and that God doesn’t heal today.
Why in the world
would most true evangelical (not liberal) Christians say that?
It is common knowledge that most evangelical Christians,
whether they are Bishops, Pastors, leaders
or ‘ordinary’ members believe in healing
and that Father God and Christ Jesus still heal today.
What they are against
is the false teaching of Joseph Prince,
who teaches that
God can grant perfect health to believers.
What they are dead against
is Joseph Prince’s teaching
that you can take the Holy Communion
as many times as you take medicine,
treating them as magic potions,
in order to experience healing.
What they are warning against
is that although God can heal,
for His own purposes,
He doesn’t heal all the time and in every case.
And in many cases,
Christians aren’t healed of major sicknesses
and they died.
But the way Joseph Prince has postured his teaching
is that God will heal every time
whenever we pray for healing.
And after you have prayed for healing
you must have the faith
that God will eventually heal you,
even though the symptoms of the disease,
are still prevalent in your body,
after 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 years.
And when you are not healed,
Joseph Prince is likely to pin the blame on you
for not having enough faith
to believe in your own healing,
or, as Joseph Prince would often say,
you don’t have the revelation of grace or healing yet.
Never will Joseph Prince
take responsibility if that person isn’t healed.
On the contrary, if that person is healed
Joseph Prince will be the first to claim the credit.
But when that same person dies,
Prince would be the same person to run for cover.
What the critics are against
is Joseph Prince’s constant emphasis
on his Health and Wealth Doctrine
and his total absence of emphasis
on costly discipleship, suffering, persecution and martyrdom
– themes which were closely associated with Jesus
and even prominently taught by Him.
This lop-sided emphasis is a major distortion
of Jesus’ teachings and the Christian Faith.
The bottom line is
Joseph Prince isn’t preaching the Jesus of the Bible
and he is giving a false picture of the Christian Faith.
Does Joseph Prince know
what I have stated in the above.
Of course, he does.
But he is such an evil man that despite that,
he would deliberately misrepresent and distort
his critics’ views
in order to distract from and cover up
all his own false teachings on healing
that I have surfaced.
Second, Joseph Prince said,
“I think we should not be copping out
on our lack of results (healing)
in our ministries and churches
by saying that God doesn’t do that today (healing).
Don’t knock those that do (healing).”
Joseph Prince is now accusing his critics
for criticising his healing ministry
because of their lack of results in healing.
As many of you are aware,
among those who spoke and wrote against
the Grace Doctrine and healing teachings of Joseph Prince
is none other than Derek Prince.
Does Derek Prince believe in healing?
Sure, he does.
In fact, healing was one of the distinguishing marks of his ministry.
And I have also surfaced
in my previous articles
that Derek Prince’s teachings,
have pointed out that
Joseph Prince, who is preaching
the no-repentance gospel
is preaching the false gospel,
which produces counterfeit faith
and counterfeit fruit
– meaning many of Joseph Prince’s converts
are false converts.
Derek Prince also taught
that sickness could be sent by God
to chastise believers,
an issue that Joseph Prince
fights tooth and nail with,
as Prince doesn’t believe
that God can send sickness to chastise believers.
In fact, Joseph Prince said that
one who teaches that God can send sickness to believers
is teaching one of the most evil teachings
and telling a lie.
What this means is that Joseph Prince
is accusing Derek Prince of lying
and teaching one of the most evil teachings.
This is preposterous!
So, one can clearly see
that through Derek Prince’s biblical teachings,
he is indeed one of Joseph Prince’s critics.
Joseph Prince by saying,
“I think we should not be copping out
on our lack of results (healing)
in our ministries and churches
by saying that God doesn’t do that today (healing).
Don’t knock those that do (healing),”
he is effectively accusing his critics,
such as Derek Prince,
for taking issue with his healing ministry
because of the lack of results in his own ministry.
But does Derek Prince
show a lack of results of healing in his ministry?
Of course not.
The older ones will know that
there were many healings
that took place in his ministry.
In fact, God had empowered Derek Prince
to lengthen thousands of legs.
In a teaching sermon, Derek Prince said;
Please click here to view the 30-second video:
“Ruth and I were in Singapore
quite a number of years ago
and an American preacher
was preaching there and God bless the Americans.
And he was one of these people,
of whom I’m one,
who lengthened peoples’ legs.
Maybe you’ve never seen it happen,
but it happens.
How many of you know that?
How many of you have the experience?
I know it happened.
And I have lengthened thousands of legs
and I’m not ashamed of it.
And I’ve seen many, many people
dramatically changed
when they see this simple miracle.”
So, some who criticise
Joseph Prince’s healing ministry
not because they don’t have results of healing
to show forth,
but on the contrary,
God has used them to perform greater miracles
than what was so-called done through Joseph Prince.
Let me ask Joseph Prince
whether he has been used to perform
the miracle of lengthening legs
in New Creation Church at least once?
I doubt so.
Do you wish to know what kind of ‘miracles’
are performed in Joseph Prince’s
so-called healings
in New Creation Church’s worship services,
especially in the last few months?
At least 90 percent
have to do with the healing of pain.
(Please believe me, as I have viewed
tons of Joseph Prince sermon videos,
including every of his Sunday sermons
for the last 3 years,
and especially his Sunday sermons
in the last few months,
and I know what I’m talking about.)
The typical norm is that
after Joseph Prince has pronounced
and given words that God would heal,
and after he had prayed for healing,
he would be so anxious to have the people
who have been so-called healed,
testify in the worship services.
And Joseph Prince said that they must testify
to give glory to God.
Don’t ever believe this guy.
I can see right through this man
that he is using these testimonies
not to give glory to God,
but merely as proof
that he is preaching the right doctrine.
That has been his strategy, all the time,
and especially so, in the past few months.
Joseph Prince knows very well
that he has no answer to the many accusations
that were brought up by his critics
that he is preaching false doctrines.
How can Joseph Prince defend himself
when Church Father after Church Father,
credible Bible teacher after credible Bible teacher
whose teachings
are diametrically opposed to his teachings,
have been brought up against him.
Church Fathers and credible Bible teachers such as:
Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley,
George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon,
George Muller, JC Ryle, Arthur Pink, AW Tozer,
Billy Graham, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Gordon Fee,
JI Packer, Oswald Chambers, DA Carson, RC Sproul,
John Piper, John MacArthur, Derek Prince
& David Pawson, etc.
In the light of this, Joseph Prince
has little or no defense to put up.
So, his strategy, as has always been,
and, especially for the last few months,
is to use the testimonies of those
who are so-called healed through his ministry
to prove that he is preaching the right doctrines.
That is why he has been allocating
chunks of time in the many worship services, recently,
for the demonstration of healing
in his worship services
– the fact that God is using him to heal people.
The unsaid agenda of Joseph Prince is this:
“You guys can say all you want
about my false teachings.
But what have you got to say
about the many healings that take place
in the worship services of my church.
If there are so many testimonies
of people being healed in my worship services,
then I must be preaching the right doctrine.”
Just watch what’s going on
during these so-called healings
that take place during the worship services,
especially in the last few months.
First, before any testimony is allowed,
Joseph Prince would make his Pastors
to be busily running around in the big worship hall.
Why?
The role of such ‘running around’ Pastors
is to screen off only those
who have their pain so-called removed
after Joseph Prince has prayed for healing,
and probably, to make sure
they don’t say the wrong thing on camera
that would embarrass Joseph Prince.
For those with the pain still lingering,
do you think Joseph Prince
would allow such people to testify such as:
“I don’t why the pain is still there,
after Joseph Prince prayed?”
Dream on!
Because those who are still experiencing pain
after being prayed for by Joseph Prince
are not allowed to testify,
and only those who experience so-called no pain
are allowed to testify,
Joseph Prince is giving
the false and deceptive impression
that his healing is 100 percent successful
or 100 percent effective.
But what is most damaging
is for Joseph Prince to give the false impression
that God will heal all the time
and in every case,
which is the bedrock of his healing teaching.
For those who have testified in the worship services
that they are supposedly healed of their pain
after Joseph Prince prayed for them
– but if the pain somehow recurs,
one day later or a week later,
do you think Joseph Prince
will allow them to testify again?
“Yes, God healed me of my pain last Sunday
at the worship service after Joseph Prince prayed,
but I don’t know why
the pain has returned a few days later.”
You can wait until your cows come home!
What is happening is that
this gives a distorted picture
– the picture that everyone was healed
after Joseph Prince prayed for them
and there is no one who isn’t healed.
Wow! Joseph Prince must be such an anointed healer!
Next, whether one has pain or not
can be subjective.
A little pain can be explained as no pain.
More so, most of those who attend
Joseph Prince’s worship services,
have a vested interest
to make Joseph Prince succeed
as they have been completely bought over
by Prince’s grace doctrine.
These are the diehard fans of Joseph Prince,
who have been brainwashed by his grace doctrine.
As such, they, in a real sense,
wouldn’t want to embarrass Joseph Prince.
So, even if they really have some pain,
they are likely to say no pain,
perhaps rationalising,
that, by faith, the pain will soon be gone.
Let me put it another way.
Joseph Prince’s congregation
has a vested interest
to make Joseph Prince look good.
Because of that, even if there is still some pain
they would not embarrass Joseph Prince
by stating the whole truth,
but they are likely to say the pain is gone
even though there is still some pain lingering,
as Joseph Prince often teaches them
that they are to declare that the pain is gone,
or that they have been healed,
even though the pain is still there
and despite the fact that they are not healed yet.
Come to think of it,
why didn’t Joseph Prince
perform the more ‘objective’ healings
that is beyond any doubt.
Why didn’t Joseph Prince
make people’s legs lengthen
as in Derek Prince’s case?
Why didn’t Prince make blind people see?
Why didn’t he ask paralysed people
sitting on wheelchairs to rise up and walk?
Why are there no such miracles of healing
instead of ‘pain here and pain there’;
elbow pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain,
legs pain, toe pain, finger pain, stomach pain
knee cap pain, arms pain, etc,
and I’m not exaggerating.
It seems that Joseph Prince specialises
in giving people a Painless Christianity.
In ‘Enduring Classics of Billy Graham,’
Billy Graham wrote:
“Comfort and prosperity
have never enriched the world
as much as adversity has done.
Out of pain and problems
have come the sweetest songs,
the most poignant poems,
and the most gripping stories.”
In ‘Enduring Classics of Billy Graham,’
Billy Graham wrote:
“I had the honor of visiting the place
where she spent the last twenty years of her life,
bedridden due to a leg injury from an accident.”
“Amy went through the valley of the shadow
and in spite of pain and physical weakness
caused a great light to be spread around the world.
It was during those years
she did most of her writing
– books that still bring blessing
to millions across the world.”
Compare the Painless Christianity
of Joseph Prince
and what God can achieve for His purposes
despite and through your pain
as brought up by Billy Graham
It is a world of difference!
One is cheap Christianity
that Joseph Prince preaches
and the other is tough Christianity
that Billy Graham advocates.
Coming back to asking Joseph Prince
to produce other more ‘objective’ miracles,
such as making blind people see.
Is that too much to ask of Joseph Prince?
I don’t think so.
This is because Joseph Prince himself
has always been saying in his many sermons
that he is only following the example of Jesus
who spent most of his time and ministries
healing people.
In the sermon on 2 July 2023,
Joseph Prince said,
“Because Jesus went about,
three-fourths of his ministry was healing the sick.
I don’t know how we can say
that we cannot preach that (healing) today.”
Ask yourself what kind of healings
did Jesus perform?
Is it the healing of ‘pain here and pain there’
that Joseph Prince specialises in?
Not at all.
In all of Jesus’ miracles,
I don’t remember anything
that was directly or specifically mentioned about
Jesus taking away the physical pain of specific persons
(except for one verse, “severe pains”
mentioned in Matthew 4:24 in the NIV).
And neither the Apostles
whom the Holy Spirit enabled to perform miracles did that.
(Also, Joseph Prince so-called healings
of the pains of most of his congregation
were not the severe pains
that was mentioned in Matthew 4:24.
If the pain of the people who were healed
under Joseph Prince in the worship services
were as severe as that in Matthew 4:24,
the condition of such severe pains
would not have permitted them
to attend the worship services
of New Creation Church in the first place.)
But the miracles of Jesus
are making blind people see
and making the lame to walk, etc.
Here, I am not talking about
someone who is so-called healed
only one week, or one month later, or one year later
as Joseph Prince sometimes alludes to his healings.
But I’m talking about someone
who is instantly healed,
of having his blindness removed.
And that’s what Jesus did.
Almost all of Jesus’ healings were instant,
Joseph Prince claims to be following
the healing ministries of Jesus.
Yet, Joseph Prince hasn’t performed
that kind of instant healing miracles that Jesus did.
Coming back to the fact
that it is in the interest of his congregation
to make Joseph Prince succeed,
and therefore,
they will not embarrass Joseph Prince
by publicly stating that the pain is still there,
even though Joseph Prince had prayed for them.
Now, to remove this subjectivity,
Joseph Prince ought to hold public meetings of healings.
and invite only the general public, including unbelievers,
to attend his healing crusade,
especially people who are not known to him.
Joseph Prince claims that
he is only doing what Jesus did.
Well, let’s see if Joseph Prince
can be used to heal unbelievers
by making the blind see and the lame walk,
as Jesus did,
and removing this pain or that pain
from their bodies,
as he so-called did for his congregation
in the New Creation Church worship services.
Well, that’s what Jesus did,
as the majority of Jesus’ healings
were done on unbelievers, not believers.
I can guarantee that Joseph Prince
wouldn’t dare to do this
as he knows it will be a total flop.
The main reason is
he doesn’t have all his
diehard fans and loyal supporters there
to back him up,
by them saying,
“O, Pastor Prince, after you prayed,
the elbow pain is gone,
O, Pastor Prince, after you prayed,
my finger has no more pain.”
Why am I belabouring all this?
It is to expose the evil agenda of Joseph Prince,
that he is using
all these so-called healing testimonies,
his ‘signs and wonders’
to justify that he is preaching the correct doctrine.
But don’t be deceived
by such ‘signs and wonders,’
of Joseph Prince.
Derek Prince
has some very important things to warn us.
In a teaching video, Derek Prince said;
the 1-and-a-half-minute video:
“See I’ve told you beforehand.”
So, Jesus says, “You can’t say I didn’t warn you.”
And He says,
“There will arise false prophets and false messiahs,
and they will show great signs and wonders
so as to deceive, if possible,
even the elect or the chosen ones.”
Two important lessons from that.
First of all, that miraculous signs
do not necessarily prove
that a message is true.
Because Jesus says,
“They will show great signs and wonders”
but they’ll be deceivers.
You cannot base your assessment
of the truth of the message
merely on the fact
that there were supernatural signs
and supernatural experiences.
It is extremely dangerous to have that attitude.”
“So please do not merely trust the signs.
There are many, many signs
that are used to confirm the truth of God’s word.
But the truth is not established by signs;
it’s established by the word of God.
Jesus said, “Your word is truth.”
That’s all you need to know.
God’s word is truth.
Anything contrary to the word of God
is not truth and is not from God.”
What Derek Prince said
has again exposed the evil designs of Joseph Prince.
Derek Prince warned us that miraculous signs
do not necessarily prove that a message is true,
and so, we are not to depend on signs and wonders
as the basis for truth.
This is what Joseph Prince
has been doing all this while,
and especially in the last few months,
trying to impress people
with his ‘signs and wonders’
in his so-called healing ministry,
in order to deceive people
that he is preaching the truth and the right doctrine.
Derek Prince said:
“But the truth is not established by signs;
it’s established by the word of God.”
“Anything contrary to the word of God
is not truth and is not from God.”
As I have proven time and again
in the plenty of articles that I have featured,
and from the teachings of the many Church Fathers
and credible teachers of the word, such as,
Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley,
George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon,
George Muller, JC Ryle, Arthur Pink, AW Tozer,
Billy Graham, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Gordon Fee,
JI Packer, Oswald Chambers, DA Carson, RC Sproul,
John Piper, John MacArthur, Derek Prince
& David Pawson,
that Joseph Prince isn’t preaching
the truth of God’s word.
He is preaching a distorted form of truth
that is contrary to the word of God.
Derek Prince said:
“Anything contrary to the word of God
is not truth and is not from God.”
If what Joseph Prince is preaching
is contrary to the word of God,
and not from God,
how can he not be a heretic?
Finally,
by what Joseph Prince said
in his sermon on 2 July 2023,
he seemed to be saying
that only those with results on healing
can take issue regarding his healing ministry.
This is a fallacious and unscriptural argument.
First, we must bear in mind that
many aspects of Joseph Prince’s doctrine
on healing are false to begin with.
Second, based on the clear teachings of scripture,
any believer, regardless of whether they are gifted by God
to move in the area of healing,
can contend against
the false healing teachings of Joseph Prince,
and exposed his Health and Wealth Gospel
to be the false gospel.
In other words, whether one can contend
against the false teachings of Joseph Prince on healing
has absolutely nothing to do
with whether one has results
in the healing ministry,
but based purely on the authority of God’s word.
