According to his own statements, more than 33,000 people follow his lectures live on site in several locations every week, as well as another 5 million people worldwide via his TV programs New Creation TV (NCTV), which are broadcast daily in Germany from Anixe TV, rheinmaintv and on Broadcast in English by God TV and CNBC Europe .

Criticism of the teachings of the modern grace movement (Hypergrace)

The American Michael L. Brown warns in his book Grace Without End about the modern grace movement ( English Hypergrace ), of which Joseph Prince also belongs. One of the main criticisms is that Joseph Prince and other Hypergrace proponents teach that the Holy Spirit allegedly would no longer convict believing Christians of sin. The reasoning is that God has already forgiven and forgotten all their sins and would see them as perfect in Jesus (p. 113). Brown contradicts this by writing that God in his boundless love and goodness would very well see to it that Christians feel uncomfortable in their sin so that they turn away from this destructive force and return to God (p. 119).

The Biblical School Belief Center Bad Gandersheim positioned itself in a document from 2017 on the modern grace movement. A position is taken on eight concrete teaching points of the modern grace movement.
