Vladimir Muntean: biography

In 2002, the Spiritual Center "Revival" was founded in Dnepropetrovsk, where Vladimir Muntean became its senior pastor. The biography is carefully hidden, it is known only from his words that he survived the revelation, after which he began to preach about the "spirit of God" and demons.

He is married to Victoria Muntean, they have three children: son Daniil and daughter Arina and Violetta. Vladimir Muntean has a doctorate degree in theology, which he received as a result of his many years of work, as pastor-evangelist. Scientific works have not been published yet, perhaps they will see the light later, when there will be more experience and free time, as Vladimir Muntean says.

Psychiatrists about the ministry

According to psychiatrists, Vladimir Muntean uses his destructive manipulative methods of psychic influence on people at his sessions. Sermons are based on mass hypnosis and psychotherapeutic influence. According to experts, the use of these methods can lead to a violation of mental health. Especially dangerous is the impressionable people taking part in the events that pastor Vladimir Muntean is conducting. Careful people must be oncological, people who are in an unbalanced psycho-emotional state, and suffer from cardiovascular insufficiency. Sessions can lead to the rejection of their medication, as well as overexcitement in the emotional-sensory sphere during the service, cause mental disorders and other pathologies.

Vladimir Muntean and the law

In 2007, a special examination was conducted, during which the activities of Vladimir Muntean were investigated. It was found that hired people came on the stage, who told stories invented. As a result, the pastor was forbidden to hold a meeting in Dnipropetrovsk at the stadium "Meteor". Experts believe that his actions in terms of law are called fraud. They say that at meetings they abuse the trust of citizens and deliberately deceive them.

In the police archives there is evidence that Vladimir Muntean was already convicted of fraud and theft for three years. He served time in Krivoy Rog, in 10 special colonies.

Ukrainian Interchurch Council on Service

According to the Ukrainian Interchurch Council, the activity of the senior pastor Vladimir Muntyan is negative. The Council believes that involving people in non-biblical practice can lead them to great frustration and spiritual bankruptcy, to strike at the reputation and good name of evangelical Christians in modern society. Summing up, the Ukrainian Interchurch Council noted the main negative aspects of the activities carried out by Vladimir Muntean:
1) Great emphasis on the release of believers from clan curses.
2) During prayers for liberation from demonic power, the same people turn to help. Consequently, spiritual liberation does not come, or (more accurately) these persons - adherents of the preacher. 3) Use of false public utterances. Muntean has repeatedly stated publicly that his evangelistic crusades around the cities of Ukraine are held to help local churches. In fact, the spiritual center "Vozrozhdenie" actively opened new branches throughout Ukraine and joined existing ones belonging to other church associations.
4) Frequent and gross violation of church and pastoral ethics, manifested in the following:

• The use of various manipulative technologies, the enticement of ministers and members of other churches;
• Appointment to spiritual, and in some cases pastoral, ministry of people with a dubious reputation;
• Public insult to ministers who do not share his views.

5) Presence of explicit signs of totalitarian sectarianism, namely:

• The use of methods of psychological manipulation of human consciousness;
• The humiliation of the dignity of other ministries, indicating the advantages of one's own;
• Accentuation of people's attention on their personality and organization;
• The promise of God's blessings to individuals who donate large sums of money to the ministry.
