Controversy[]
Carlos Oliveira has encountered scrutiny by religious skeptics, Catholic bishops, and priests for his different independent approach to deliverance ministry and exorcism. He does not follow religious censorship, the Catholic religion, dogma, or the Catholic exorcist procedures including: prayer recitals (ex. "Hail Mary," and the "Athanasian Creed") along with prayers to saints as enumerated in the exorcism rituals according to traditional Catholicism.
Archbishop Isaac Kramer made the statement: "When you perform an exorcism, it involves several prayers. It involves commanding the demons. It involves holy water. It involves other things… that you just cannot do through a computer screen."[10] There are others who may oppose Arch Bishop Isaac Kramer's point of view, as it may contradict Psalm 147:5[11] and 1 Timothy 5:22.[12]
According to Ashish Raichur in his book; "Ministering Healing and Deliverance: Every Believer Can Do This"[13] the belief that Cataphatic theology and doctrines are roadblocks to hinder people from experiencing the powers of God should be noted: "While we must be aware of different methods to minister healing and deliverance, if we get fixated on a particular method (or process) to minister healing and deliverance, we are severely limiting God's work. God can release His supernatural power in a variety of ways. Hence we must depend on the presence of God and what he is doing at any given moment, rather than on methods we are accustomed to."[14]
Concerning this topic, Carlos Oliveira has stated the following:"This is a gift from God. I don’t cast out demons because of my name. I don’t cast out demons because of my expertise. I don’t cast out demons because I’m powerful. I cast out demons because of the name of Jesus Christ."[10] He hosts deliverance conferences, retreats,[15] as well as his own broadcast.[16]
Throughout his ministry, he is known to run seemingly original campaigns such as: "Consuming Fire Campaign,"[17] "Mobile Prayer Unit"[18] and "Adopt Your City."[19] Carlos Oliveira's ministries have reached Evangelists such as Fernando Perez[20] who said: "As a deliverance minister myself I am deeply blessed by the Ministry of my dear friend Brother Carlos Oliveira, The fruit of his ministry has blessed people all over the world and that is very inspiring. Matthew 7:16[21] "You shall know them by their fruits" . We need more Man of God like brother Carlos Oliveira to preach the uncompromising gospel of the Kingdom of God to set the captives free. Luke 11:20[22] But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you." [23] Carlos Oliveira's deliverance ministry continues to grow today with many videos, praise reports, and testimonies.[24]
