Prophet Badu Kobi, during an interview on the Delay Show this year, made several comments that got some wondering exactly what brand of Christianity he practices. The well known prophet - who's reportedly been ministering since 1998 - stated something to the effect that one being involved in the illicit cocaine business is not a sin.
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills
Bishop Dag Heward Mills shocked Ghanaians not too long ago when he made comments to the effect that oral sex is perfectly fine with biblical law.

Prophet Kumchacha
Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Kumchacha, has been in the news a lot in recent times, but perhaps most glaring instance where his devotion to the Christian faith was most questioned was when a video and subsequent report emerged of him almost trading blows with Raggae musician, Ekow Micah. He's also known to have said publicly that he "licks" his wife prior to going to preach, words many have said would not never be uttered by a true man of God.
Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah
Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah has always been a somewhat controversial man of God due to his firebrand style of Christianity. Nevertheless, he recently shocked Ghanaians when he stated that he didn't believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. Though he has since denied made these comments, many already began questioning his Christian credibility due to his comments.
Bishop Angel Obinim
If we were to write down everything Ghanaians found questioning about Bishop Angel Obinim then this article would end up being pretty long, so we'll stick to his most recent scandal. Bishop Angle Obinim recently asked his congregation to bring their underwear so he could pray over them. Now if that wouldn't make one question their pastor's Christianity, we don't know what would.
