What do you think of Joseph Prince on hyper-grace?
His Hyper-Grace teachings depicts 'Christians need not repent for their sins because they are automatically forgiven by the Blood of Jesus'

Joseph Prince has never been born again as all his sins still remain. He speaks lies, and the father of lies is Satan the Devil.
Nowhere in the entire Bible does it say our sins are washed by the blood of Jesus explicitly. What it does say is that if we add to it, subtract from it, or even change it, then we can expect the severe wrath of God.
Gods salvation has never changed, its still the same when He originally gave it in the OT. Here we see a live sacrifice, the sins of the sinner laid upon it by the High Priest, and then only could it die by shedding its blood.
Just like this we see 'this salvation' when John the Baptist, the last OT high priest lay all the sins of the world upon Jesus when He was baptized in the Jordan River, and then Jesus walking to the Cross where He was crucified, shedding His blood. Salvation from God had a definite cause and effect like this.
How many Christians today are guilty of changing the gospel that God gave originally, like JP, and are going to suffer in hell for eternity?
Now is the time to wake up from this deception and to return to Christ by believing in His gospel of the water and the Spirit.

Joseph Prince's teaching will be good for :
a) The new believer
b) The born again Christian
c) The Christian who was yoked by the heavy burden of legalism
d) Christians who remain Baby Christians who do not mature in the Word (Self-centered Christians)
e) Earthly / Carnal Christians (those focused on Earthly Treasures as opposed to Treasures in Heaven)
>> Lots of money to be made in this teaching
His teaching is very weak in the areas of :
a) Contentment (e.g. 1 Timothy 6:6-7, Philippians 4:11-12)
b) Being a Slave to Christ and to Serve Others (1 Corinthians 7:22, Matthew 23:11)
c) Rejoicing in Sanctified Affliction (Romans 5:3-5, 1 Pet. 1:6-7)
d) Building Treasures in Heaven instead of on Earth (Matthew 6:20)
e) Giving Alms to the Poor ( Luke 12:33, Luke 16:19-31)
>> Much less money to be made in this teaching
Joseph Prince's church, like most mega-churches, emphasize mostly on earthly treasures and focus on SELF. Little is mentioned on Treasures in Heaven, carrying your cross and being SELFLESS towards others.
The reason is obvious. MOST Christians prefer hearing how they stand to benefit for THEMSELVES, rather than to serve and help others (PS : That's why Prosperity churches are usually MEGA Churches, because MOST people who don't really care to read the bible are only interested in themselves).
Which is why the bible clearly says in 2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires (desires of the eyes, flesh and the pride of life - 1 John 2:16), they will gather around them a great number of teachers (e.g. Prosperity Teachers) to say what their itching ears want to hear."

I believe that Joseph Prince is incorrect. He is teaching people that sin is ok because Christians are under grace; they're already forgiven for what they've done and what they're going to do in the future! But how could that be true? Our walk with Jesus is a relationship. We know when we offend a friend we should ask them for forgiveness so why wouldn't we do the same with Jesus? He isn't our friend? It's a RELATIONSHIP like any other.
Jude 1:3 "They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for sin and immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only sovereign and Lord."
Titus 2:11-12 "For the GRACE of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say 'no' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age."

I really like his teachings. He teaches about God's grace. Not the "law." I believe Joseph Prince wants people to start seeing themselves the way God sees them!
