Do they know they are enemies of God and they are purposely (i.e. secretly) bringing heresies into the church deliberately opposing God?

From my observations of the Charismatic movement, I would guess that some false prophets are surely aware that what they are saying is false. They are just in it for the money. I would guess that most of the others think that what they are saying is from the Spirit of God, and their poor grasp of Biblical doctrines do not provide them a means to see that they are speaking lies, and introducing (or rehashing) false theology.

The secretly part I take to mean that before a Benny Hinn talks about the nine persons of the trinity in one of his crusades, he has probably taught that same falsehood to a group of his followers.

I fear that the first group is in the category of reprobates, but hold out hope that some of the second group will repent. They may be sincere, but sincerely wrong.
