The scriptures say that such men are “evil men and impostors” who “will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived”. (2 Timothy 3:13) Pringle says that he doesn’t preach a prosperity gospel.
Pringle Denies Preaching The Prosperity Gospel
Below is an excerpt from the above article.
“And the deal – some people accuse that – just what I said then, saying, ‘Oah! That’s prosperity gospel’ or whetever. I’ve never preached a gospel other than about Jesus my whole life. That’s the gospel: Jesus Christ. Beginning and end. You know I got no other message then that one.” – Phil Pringle, Steven Furtick ‘Stay Behind The Guide’, http://www2.myc3church.net/videos/steven-furtick-%E2%80%98stay-behind-guide, C3 Church Oxford Falls, 15/04/2012.
We have covered in the past that Pringle teaches that Jesus died to make believers materially rich. We also know that the faith he preaches is more occult-centered” than Christian centered. Once again, the evidence seems to point out that he DOES preach the false prosperity gospel and that he doesn’t preach the gospel of Christ and Christ crucified.

Phil Pringle in the House
Posted on 14 September 2009
Founder and President of renowned C3 International ministries, Phil Pringle, was in town during the weekend of 29-30 August 2009 to speak at City Harvest Church’s (CHC) English Services.
Phil Pringle, 57, visits the church in Singapore at least twice a year and has never failed to bring fresh messages to the 27,000-member strong church. “(Pastor Phil) never fails to bring a new Word and perspective of God to bless the congregation here at CHC,” says Benny Lin, 24, a facilities officer for CHC. “I look forward to his messages on faith and prosperity and I certainly experience personal breakthrough in my own life when I apply the principles of these messages.”
“God wants to bring freedom and victory to believers,” said Pringle on 29 August 2009, the evening service at the Singapore Expo. His sermon spoke largely of God having a purposeful plan for Christians and how their lives should not be one of fear and destruction.
Pringle added to his point by saying that, “God thinks of many things; but one of the greatest things that He thinks about is His people,” in other words; God will always have a wonderful plan for everyone’s life simply because He loves His people.

Ang Mei Mei, 22, a recent graduate of this year’s City Harvest Bible Training Center (CHBTC) recalls that services with Pringle have always been characterized by a strong “presence of God and His love” felt by the students in CHBTC. “Not only do I come away from the meetings with a new
revelation of God’s character, I also feel a renewed and stronger love for Him.”
The next visit to CHC for Pringle would be for the upcoming Asia Conference 2010, a bi-annual conference organized by CHC.

C3 Church Watch 
The prosperity gospel has become tremendously popular due to the fact that Christians today are ignorant of the Word of God and what it teaches. Too many people are simply seeking God’s blessings and not the one that blesses. They readily believe that God wants us to be blessed materially because he loves us. They eagerly accept the teaching that since Christ suffered we shouldn’t have to.
Advocates of prosperity teaching often proclaim that Jesus suffered for us so we don’t have to. Therefore, they claim that Christians are not required to suffer sickness, poverty, or deprivation. Of course Heb. 11:35-38 depicts a different story, “…being destitute, afflicted, tormented — of whom the world was not worthy.
The problem with the Church in Australia (and not just Phil Pringles) is because of it’s absence of power, it builds on borrowed business models from the likes of Anthony Robbins, or Gloria Jeans.
The love of money is the root of all evil, including apostasy.

Reading 2Cor2:17 today it says ‘For we are not peddlars of God’s word like so many: but in Christ we speak as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God and standing in his presence’. (Life Application Bible)
The commentary says: ”Some preachers in Paul’s day were ‘peddlars of God’s word’ preaching without understanding God’s message or caring what happened to their listeners. They weren’t concerned about furthering God’s kingdom — they just wanted money. Today there are still religious teachers who care only about money, not about truth.’
Pringle and many C3 Churches say they do not preach prosperity. Some even say there is no proof of it on this website.
Please please please – just spend five minutes and read Pringle’s books including ‘Dead for Nothing’ and ‘Keys to Financial Excellence’. Read about Pringle’s messages on tithing and salvation/miracle offerings on this site.
According to Pringle all of the prophets (including Jesus) were millionaires and Jesus became poor so we could inherit the wealth of this world.
Think and pray about it.
Great comment man,(Ricky)
I suppose Jesus was rich with the wealth of this world, when he fasted for forty days and forty nights.
And then i suppose that when Jesus fed the Five thousand,,,,that they(the hungary people) ;the( Five thousand) were a bunch of people truly well fed !
And then i suppose that Jesus was very wealthy whilst attached to the cross!(and dying naked and bleeding)
5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and in their position as believers and to inherit the kingdom which He has promised to those who love Him?(James 2:5 AMP)
James 3
Amplified Bible (AMP)
3 Not many [of you] should become teachers ([a]self-constituted censors and reprovers of others), my brethren, for you know that we [teachers] will be judged by a higher standard and with greater severity [than other people; thus we assume the greater accountability and the more condemnation].
2 For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature
