When Dr. Van Gayton is speaking I notice that many people in the audience look either bored or confused. (I understood everything he said and what he said makes sense if you align yourself with his theology.) But later when Bishop Bloomer speaks, or Jamal Bryant, they get to whooping & hollering. Emotionalism at its best.
This is my first time hearing about this man Dr. Van. He's a teacher and many people would rather the hooping and the emotional make me feel good talk. It's sad. Jesus taught and we should also if we're called to do so. We have to be students of God's Word and follow Him. But we never align ourselves to a man's theology which he is not presenting here. That's his conviction as he said when he started to speak.
Revisiting this forum after Bishop Carltons transition and a great deal of wht he says rings true..the church is for the most part mean hateful harsh..we need to hear in thr truest sense wht he is saying..with loving kindness have i drawn thee..rest in peace Bishop Carlton Pearson Pearson
You can be at peace with people but that does not mean that you compromise your beliefs. I hope and pray that Carlton receives a revelation, all we have to do is love him.
This man has a hold on rightly dividing the word of truth. God bless you and him. Could listen to him lecture for hrs. Soak it up, not many like that these days.
He did not deny God. He just now feels the love of God is for everyone and not for a selected few. And if he was willing and has lost millions of dollars, acres of land, and a lush lifestyle to preach his new message, I dont think you can discount that.
Reading some of these comments, proves the statement that I'm getting ready make. The Body of Christ as a whole is sick. We are sick with bitterness, unforgiveness, jealousy, anger, fear, and most unfortunately, self-righteousness. All of that has been displayed on this message board and others like it. I have heard so many people just verbally destroy Bishop Pearson, and claim to do it out love. Give me a break!!!!
I think one of the reason that has changed his mind about what he believes is because he did a careful study of this four words translated for most as hell in the entire bible... 1. Sheol 2. Hades 3. Gehenna 4. Tartarus and also eon(age) and aionious (age-lasting or ever-lasting) once you study this hebrew and greek words.. you might have a look to where it started for him to rethink what he believes..
France Quijano Yes this is exactly what happened. He said in a different interview that he was studying the Greek and Hebrew versions and they were not saying the same thing as the King James Version. I am not sure why other pastors do not get what he is saying.
Thank you . It’s so simple . People are so horrified by what he’s saying but it’s more aligned to what Jesus would want for the church than this selective you’re in and you’re out messages that others preach.
Is God just seeing how he loves justice? For it is written, the just shall live by faith. Would then the Just One then cast the wicked with the just in heaven? Is it just to cast the offended with the offender in prison or allow the innocent to remain with the guilty? What then is the purpose for heaven? Is it not for those who believe in his only begotten son? If so, then what place is there for the wicked and to those who have no repentance?
Yea , but to say I dont think GOD wasn't right for sending people to a burning hell when its clearly in his WORD (LAKE OF FIRE) GOD WORD HAS WENT FORTH FROM HIS MOUTH AND WANT RETURN UNTO HIM VOID. STRAIGHT OUT OF GOD'S MOUTH.
The mistake of scholars like Van (and myself a bible college grad cum laude) is our misunderstanding of a simple word like "repent". We were taught through the ages it means to change your actions while it really means to change your mind to God's view of you instead of the church's view of you.
Wow! Lexi what a powerful episode! You were bold to feature this...God's Word Is true and NEVER changes. I hope we as "the church" will continue to pray that Bishop Pearson's mind would be renewed and he will repent and turn back to God, through Jesus Christ.
when i hear Bishop Carlton's Gospel of inclusion, I am reminded of Ps 1:5 "Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment , nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous". Cartlton can no more stand in the congregation of the righteous God has pushed him aside, he has an other congregation now..the congregation of sinners/perverts/serial killers & evil people..he is a bishop to them. Yes in that he is a victor
(cont.) "...you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves" We forget that it's the goodness, the UNCONDITIONAL love, the mercy, the kindness of God that leads us to repent, or "rethink".
I think there is a BIG misunderstanding of what Bishop is saying. He NEVER said that people should not respond to the Gospel, he has simply said that whether you respond or not, you are yet redeemed. Should we respond? ABSOLUTELY!!! That is how transformation takes place. Also, in Romans 2, Paul lets us know that it is the "goodness of God that leads us to repentance...". Not hell, not judgment, none of that. Religion uses that, and that's why Jesus told the Pharisees in Matthew 23
Yea, I have to agree with you there. I honestly don't get Carlton Pearson's theology. But neither do I get the abusive attitude of the "Hellfire and Brimstone" doom and gloom preachers. There has to be some kind of middle ground in this whole thing. I think the issue here is finding the (theological and spiritual) balance.
Amen. With have to Hold Ephesians 6 in our hearts at all time. Which teaches us to put on the WHOLE armor of God. If we don't have on thw WHOLE armor, then we are spiritually naked and therefore vulnerable to the devil's wiles (schemes and trickery). Carlton, Jamal and whoever else must have on the helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, loins girded with truth (not false doctrine), feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, and a sword in our hands (which is the WORD),
@Psalmist100, "this is so crazy it's scary", and sad too Psalmist100, but the Bible did say things like this were going to happen prior to Christ's return. I feel so very sorry for his wife (who it seems has followed in his foot-steps) and his children. Please pray for all those involved, that the Holy Spirit will perhaps raise up either one or both of his children, in the hope of drawing Carlton and his wife back to God/Christ. God help and have mercy on us ALL.
Because if Bishop Pearson replayed this audio in his leisure and actually listened to the words he uttered, he would even say that "he's CONTRADICTING himself". God is not the author of confusion, but oviously the spirit that is guiding Pearson's loose tongue IZ.
The only times I would say, "You don't have to go along to get along" would be when saying you don't have to do drugs, have sex, steal, etc to fit in with people or make friends. I wouldn't use it to explain Christ's work on the cross mainly because of Romans 10:9.
The difference between Carlton and Van Guyton is that Carlton is promoting his own idea but Van Guyton is basing his position on the facts-- His scripture is alot more specific to the question of are we automotaically saved or must we REPENT AND BELIEVE to be saved..The Bible shows alot more support for the latter than the former-- takes someone with common sense to see the facts and accept it
Teach Christ so that the soul does not have to endure punishment before being reconciled to God. Teach Christ so that a person know that while they are here on earth, they can manifest Christ by loving their fellow man and treating him/her in the way they would want to be treated which Christ said was the narrow road to life. He said the Law and the prophets is to treat others in the way that you would want to be treated and then He continued on about the narrow road to life (referring to what He said previously as being that narrow road to life: treating others as you would want to be treated). THAT is the faith of Jesus. We are saved by grace (ie. nothing we have to do on our part) through the faith that says, you must love others as self. That's really the meaning of being saved by faith which should really be 'saved the Faith'. The Faith being His commandment to love one another (as self).
I must be missing something -- what is wrong with believing there is no hell? Is it because these nay sayers would be missing their satisfaction of knowing those who are not in their following may come to heaven too? God is the begining and the end all that He made was is and forever more shall be good. God bless you Bishop Pearson!
You can deny God by your actions alone and Carlton has. Pray for him. Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works (ACTIONS) THEY DENY HIM, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. John 7:16-17 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,..."
@Dottie1973 So many people hear his ideology and miss the larger point. People, who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, judge, condemn, and push away the people who Jesus Christ would have loved unconditionally. We should be able to disagree peacefully. If you feel that a person is in error, pray for him. If an opportunity arises to talk about the disagreement, we should do so in love and in the spirit of Christ.
And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. Matthew 24:11 Jesus is coming back! Do not be those who fall asleep, stay awoke read the word for yourself. Don’t add or take away from the Bible. We are running out of time! Get ready
Gyaton is too deep. No1 is going to get saved by his gospel. I have been "saved" for years and I understand what he is saying, but if my mother had not raised me in the way of the Lord, and perhaps she was a drug addicted prostitute and never mentioned jesus, I would never come to christ listen to Gayton. Bishop Pearson could reach me. God bless you bishop and keep preaching the gospel. Eyes have not seen nor ear hath heard...
Ok so I'm not biggest Jamal Bryant fan in the world but I do want to say this and it's not just for him but for all the preachers that we have up on youtube let's not keep putting them down because for 1 their human and for 2 if we as christians keep putting down our own then people that are not saved and come upon clips like these or other will start to think that there is no preacher that isn't crooked. If you have a problem with a certain preacher or preacher for the sake of those watching
Just so you are aware; the so-called church in Chicago where Carlton is the interim pastor is not now, nor has it ever been a "real" or "traditional" church. The founder is a woman named Johnnie Colemon who came out of the so-called "unity" church. They dont believe Christ is God or our Savior. They believe Christ is our 'way shower.' They sing about Christ, but are Universal Unitarianistic in there beliefs, doctrine &dogma, which is Y Carlton is there. Christ Universal Temple is "new thought."
please don't down them on air because we don't know who we could be hindering from getting something that they might need to help them though the day. Like I said I'm not the biggest Jamel Bryant fan but he said so very good things on here and we shouldn't want people to lose focus on that because of his personailty. Or post your pastor or wife preaching and send people to them.
OMG "bobcatxyz" I did not know Johnnie Colemon was in a nursing home! I wondered why you dont see her anymore at the church, or at a Farrakhan meeting. LOL. You are absolutely right, after all those years of preaching 'you can heal yourself with good thoughts, and fair speeches" that she is sick. Its like Rev. Ike who died of stroke complications this year. Rev. Ike preached the same foolishness. and was a regular@ Christ Universal. And, ur right again, Carlton is an opportunists & needed work!
I stand amazed at some of the comments support pearson's "gospel of inclusion" when the WORD IS CLEAR ON THE TOPIC-- I mean people pick up the word and approach it objectively instead of reacting by your emotions..truth is truth and the word is the absolute truth dont add to it and do not take away from it....it is not that peaopl crave freedom it is that they crave not being held accountable in accordance with God's standard and his word. We have gotten away from the Word and tolerate anything
AMEN!! People just want an excuse to live like they want to and not live up to the standards that God has called us to. How can there be no hell when Jesus preached that there was?? Any who I agree ramboministry2256 and Major2219
MsDena610 When you see Jesus preach ? Shut up. The white man gave you a book & your ass fell for it like the dumb ass you are. That white man they call Jesus in church ain’t no damn Jesus. Wake up!
I John 2:18-25. Please read, some ministers will appear to represent Jesus but they don't. II Corinthians 11:13-15- Don't be deceived. Ep. 4:14- Don't be tricked by false doctrine. II Tim. 3:13-17- Imposters will become worse and worse. We need to get to know our doctrine and God's Word for OURSELVES b/c if not, we will be so easily deceived!
@Dottie1973, Please keep Carlton, his family, and those following this dangerous way of thinking in your prayers, that they might turn their hearts and minds back to God/Jesus before it's too late? This could be anyone of us, as the Bible says, we must endure until the end. So, where there's life there's still hope, and I pray Carlton realizes this before his times up.
Religious folks, (including Christians) are quick to denounce what they didn't announce... These days these religidiots have become even more ignorant, prideful and without compassion... It seems that Christians whether be right than honest and transparent... All religions are guilty and will be held accountable (not excluding Christians)... How do I know? Well since you've asked,,, I've been raised Apostolic, Baptized in the name of JESUS, and baptized in the HOLY GHOST with speaking in tongues
The Grace,the Grace and truth mix to liberat mankind, Even then the words of Jesus are more authentic and authoritative than any Revelation or vision any man or man of God shall ever have.hell is real and heaven is as the scriptures declares.
@zewak4567, How can it be love and Christ centered when it speaks against the very Word it's supposed to stand for? Have u verified by the Bible and the Holy Spirit if any of what Carlton says is true by "God's" standards? Just because Carlton doesn't accept hell which is spoken about many times over in the Bible, doesn't mean it is not there. My heart goes out to him and I pray he comes back to Christ before it's too late.
Ok..either I don't know enough about this "inclusion" thing, or Bishop Pearson lost me when he said@a1:02 that he's still fasting, praying, seeking God and casting out devils...What's da point or use in still doing those things, if we're all going to Heaven or are already in Heaven????? Can't I take my Demon with me??
@Happyone4 : A lot of people twist and turn the words of the bible to fit themselves. No wonder a lot of people are falling away from fundamentalism theology.
God's word tells us that the leaders of God's people are held to a higher stander. And we are all called to call out any false teaching. Pearson is changing God's word and he wants people to have a warm fuzzy feeling about him. It's not going to happen. Especially if you're continuing to spread lies.
Romans 10:8-9 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”[a](that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
@Rayana11, "The real objection believers have is not so much with the gospel of inclusion (really that's news to me as this is not Biblical teaching, it's man's nonsense),but the fact that you are no longer special (what about the fact it's not about us but what Christ did for ALL mankind?)". "I don't see anyone concerned w/souls just being right", well what about my Bishop and other ministers like him who are preaching the unadulterated Gospel, don't they count? Everyone is not selfish.
Repentance is merely a turning away and changing from one state to another state. The assumption being that the previous state was not compatible with the way God would want one to live. Jesus only had one commandment. He even stated that HIs commandments (plural) all came down to just one commandment (singular) and that is to love one another. He who believes in Jesus enough to do what He said and, THEREFORE, love one another will be saved/have life. I agree with Bishop Pearson when he says, everyone is already saved due to Jesus' death on the cross because He died for the sins of the world. To be obedient and keep the Lord's commandments is another aspect of being saved. That is to say, if you don't keep His commandments, the penalty is to endure punishment. However, because the person has been saved by Jesus, the punishment is temporary, not eternal. The unrighteous (or those who do not keep the commandment to love thy neighbor as self/treat others in the way they would want to be treated) suffer punishment prior to being reconciled back to God, just as Pearson mention regarding all things being reconciled back to God. The bible even says the last enemy to be destroyed will be death itself. You can't have souls being eternally (forever) tortured in a place called Hell if God's mercy endures forever and you can't have souls being eternally tortured in a place called Hell in a state of death when death will no longer exist. If death is destroyed and will no longer exist, then that means no souls will be in a state of death in a place called Hell because everyone gets reconciled back to God.
LOL...HAHAHAHA....That is so wrong "bobcatxyz" but so true. On the day of Judgment, when we all have to stand before the judgement seat of Christ, the blood of all those mislead, lied to, and deceived by preachers, will scream out for justice and someone will have to answer for it. I am no saint, I dont want people reading our dialogue to think I am self-righteous. I am a young minister in the gospel and I pray often to God to let me only say what He puts into my heart, to come out of my mouth!
@tonetone153 No one is knocking Carlton, this is a conversation of different opinions. The Christian church is not going away either. Whatever God puts in place will always remain. Also, forgiveness is an act that someone ask for in stating to God that they will not repeat the act that has been done or try their best not for it to repeat. God knows the heart of every man. Just asking for forgiveness alone will not get a person into heaven. Faith without "works" is dead.
Why are people arguing over a religion that the European GAVE dem . The Romans waited to see how the religion could benefit dem , Decided what books would go in the New Testament and which one would not. Then they set up the Roman Catholic Church for guardenship , The very people that nailed the nails . Learn the Bible from the outside .Then you may go back to your truth nature as a Spiritual Being with no strings attached.
@staleyhhc1 The Supreme Creator did not establish the Christian church. Constantine did. The Council of Nicea, a group of Catholic bishops, mandated and compiled what you call the word of God in 325 AD. They burned the rest of the writings. What gave them the right to do that? Did non Jewish people before Jesus automatically go to hell because they didn't believe in Yahweh? What did our ancestors do before the slave master told them that their concept of Deity was incorrect? And the James 2 tel
If your experience of God is through Jesus, I bless you with that experience. But you cant deny other people's experiences of God. I do not feel that in an earth with 7 billion humans here currently and trillions of human beings that have passed through earth that God meant for everyone to be automatons to the same message.
Stephen, speaking the truth has nothung to do with it-- It depends on HOW you spoeak the truth. We must speak the TRUTH but we must do it in love. Saying that God loves you but you must believe to be saved is not a doctrine of hate and ignorance its God's word.
I just feel that its dangerous what mr calton is preaching to tell people theres no hell.on the other hand i can see how he feel when he say, how can a loving God send people tk hell.i ferl God dont send us to hell people send their self there when tut they refused to get saved and when they dont repent and turn from sin.
What has happened to Carlton is devastating to me! Saddly, he problem is not a theological problem! There are few ministers, historians, philosophers, theologians, etc that know the "WORD" and the and the biblical languages and test as well as he does. His problem is simply MORAL one. He MUST have some iniquity that he has got allowed the Holy Spirit to give him victory over so he has changed his doctrine to accept his immoral lifestyle! My personal opinion, he is a closet homosexual!
When Van Gayton speaks, I get the distinct impression of a man who is so proud of his letter and degrees, and seminary wisdom, yet has no clue of spiritual matters.(1 Cor 2:5-14) His nonsensical rant about the "objective" and "subjective" sides of the gospel, which is no where found in scripture. is just sheer foolishness. A sad example of adding to the word of God to fit ones doctrinal traditions
@jimboedwardlee, "Christianity is not well understood in the Black community"??? You're kidding of course I hope, unless you're referring to the community you live in perhaps??
Paul said if any man or angel preach to you another gospel, besides the one you heard from us let him be accused. And to some up all the clusios. Jesus said! I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me.Jn.14:6(He is not a way He is The Way) & Read Jn.3:16 & Rom.10:9-13 Think on this, if i see you about to drive over a bridg, that has danger signs of, bridg ends here please make a U-turn next . I see the danger signs from where i stand, but you can't,stop!
When Dr. Van Gayton is speaking I notice that many people in the audience look either bored or confused. (I understood everything he said and what he said makes sense if you align yourself with his theology.)
But later when Bishop Bloomer speaks, or Jamal Bryant, they get to whooping & hollering.
Emotionalism at its best.
cy redfeather mannnnnnnnnn I’m so with you on this right here
Man, the Doc did a great job. I appreciate his gift. He is teaching sound doctrine. Speaking the truth in love.
This is my first time hearing about this man Dr. Van. He's a teacher and many people would rather the hooping and the emotional make me feel good talk. It's sad. Jesus taught and we should also if we're called to do so. We have to be students of God's Word and follow Him. But we never align ourselves to a man's theology which he is not presenting here. That's his conviction as he said when he started to speak.
Very true. Good observation
Revisiting this forum after Bishop Carltons transition and a great deal of wht he says rings true..the church is for the most part mean hateful harsh..we need to hear in thr truest sense wht he is saying..with loving kindness have i drawn thee..rest in peace Bishop Carlton Pearson Pearson
Amen. By their fruit you shall know them ❤
You can be at peace with people but that does not mean that you compromise your beliefs. I hope and pray that Carlton receives a revelation, all we have to do is love him.
Dr. Van Gayton is my Bible teacher and he is awesome!!
Love ya Dr. G ~3rd Period!!
This man has a hold on rightly dividing the word of truth. God bless you and him. Could listen to him lecture for hrs. Soak it up, not many like that these days.
I pray that God continue to keep a hedge of protection all around you Bishop Pearson. Be encourage and stay blessed!
He did not deny God. He just now feels the love of God is for everyone and not for a selected few. And if he was willing and has lost millions of dollars, acres of land, and a lush lifestyle to preach his new message, I dont think you can discount that.
He's so proud,the pride of life is on him."preach black man"
Reading some of these comments, proves the statement that I'm getting ready make.
The Body of Christ as a whole is sick. We are sick with bitterness, unforgiveness, jealousy, anger, fear, and most unfortunately, self-righteousness.
All of that has been displayed on this message board and others like it.
I have heard so many people just verbally destroy Bishop Pearson, and claim to do it out love.
Give me a break!!!!
We can't pretend there is no hell because it doesn't make us feel all warm and fuzzy. The truth is the truth whether we like it or not.
I think one of the reason that has changed his mind about what he believes is because he did a careful study of this four words translated for most as hell in the entire bible...
1. Sheol
2. Hades
3. Gehenna
4. Tartarus
and also eon(age) and aionious (age-lasting or ever-lasting)
once you study this hebrew and greek words.. you might have a look to where it started for him to rethink what he believes..
France Quijano Yes this is exactly what happened. He said in a different interview that he was studying the Greek and Hebrew versions and they were not saying the same thing as the King James Version. I am not sure why other pastors do not get what he is saying.
Thank you . It’s so simple . People are so horrified by what he’s saying but it’s more aligned to what Jesus would want for the church than this selective you’re in and you’re out messages that others preach.
Is God just seeing how he loves justice? For it is written, the just shall live by faith. Would then the Just One then cast the wicked with the just in heaven? Is it just to cast the offended with the offender in prison or allow the innocent to remain with the guilty? What then is the purpose for heaven? Is it not for those who believe in his only begotten son? If so, then what place is there for the wicked and to those who have no repentance?
Blessed are the peacemakers...
Amen. Words straight out of the mouth of Jesus Christ.
Yea , but to say I dont think GOD wasn't right for sending people to a burning hell when its clearly in his WORD (LAKE OF FIRE) GOD WORD HAS WENT FORTH FROM HIS MOUTH AND WANT RETURN UNTO HIM VOID. STRAIGHT OUT OF GOD'S MOUTH.
Yes my friend, I hope all who read will meditate on this!
The mistake of scholars like Van (and myself a bible college grad cum laude) is our misunderstanding of a simple word like "repent". We were taught through the ages it means to change your actions while it really means to change your mind to God's view of you instead of the church's view of you.
Wow! Lexi what a powerful episode! You were bold to feature this...God's Word Is true and NEVER changes. I hope we as "the church" will continue to pray that Bishop Pearson's mind would be renewed and he will repent and turn back to God, through Jesus Christ.
6:38 is where the truth of God's word on salvation begins!
Also, Biggups to Lexi for giving Carlton Pearson his due as a Pentecostal Pioneer of my era...
Now that i can agree on. The Azusa meetings I grew up on and still listen from time to time.
when i hear Bishop Carlton's Gospel of inclusion, I am reminded of Ps 1:5 "Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment , nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous". Cartlton can no more stand in the congregation of the righteous God has pushed him aside, he has an other congregation now..the congregation of sinners/perverts/serial killers & evil people..he is a bishop to them. Yes in that he is a victor
Joseph Osborne when David wrote that he was talking about his Nation not you
Thank You Carlton for being real, and telling the world that God does love us, and has already saved us!
One of the best comments I've ever read, jim.
Seriously.
We don't need to go alone to get alone Iove it!!!!!!! Just love it if the world would just except this we all would be in a better place
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9
CONCOMA WHAT?! CONCOMA WHO!? LOL at lexi's expression
(cont.)
"...you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves"
We forget that it's the goodness, the UNCONDITIONAL love, the mercy, the kindness of God that leads us to repent, or "rethink".
ChDid you see Lexi's face when Vangayton says "concomitant?" LOL
Be careful of the people that every, EVERY body cheers on.........
NO this is the only religion where Grace abounds over sin. Thank you Jesus!!!!! IF you love him you will keep his commandments.
I think there is a BIG misunderstanding of what Bishop is saying.
He NEVER said that people should not respond to the Gospel, he has simply said that whether you respond or not, you are yet redeemed.
Should we respond? ABSOLUTELY!!! That is how transformation takes place. Also, in Romans 2, Paul lets us know that it is the "goodness of God that leads us to repentance...". Not hell, not judgment, none of that. Religion uses that, and that's why Jesus told the Pharisees in Matthew 23
STRAIGHT UP DECEPTION--C. Pearson's DOCTRINE OF INCLUSION!!!
Manikki Clark The same way the white man has done to you but you not knocking them sellout.
They should have allowed Bishop Ira Combs to be a guest on this show, and to respond to the false preaching/teaching of Carlton
Yea, I have to agree with you there. I honestly don't get Carlton Pearson's theology. But neither do I get the abusive attitude of the "Hellfire and Brimstone" doom and gloom preachers. There has to be some kind of middle ground in this whole thing. I think the issue here is finding the (theological and spiritual) balance.
Bishop Bloomer looks so much healthier these days.
Amen. With have to Hold Ephesians 6 in our hearts at all time. Which teaches us to put on the WHOLE armor of God. If we don't have on thw WHOLE armor, then we are spiritually naked and therefore vulnerable to the devil's wiles (schemes and trickery). Carlton, Jamal and whoever else must have on the helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, loins girded with truth (not false doctrine), feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, and a sword in our hands (which is the WORD),
@Psalmist100, "this is so crazy it's scary", and sad too Psalmist100, but the Bible did say things like this were going to happen prior to Christ's return. I feel so very sorry for his wife (who it seems has followed in his foot-steps) and his children. Please pray for all those involved, that the Holy Spirit will perhaps raise up either one or both of his children, in the hope of drawing Carlton and his wife back to God/Christ. God help and have mercy on us ALL.
Because if Bishop Pearson replayed this audio in his leisure and actually listened to the words he uttered, he would even say that "he's CONTRADICTING himself". God is not the author of confusion, but oviously the spirit that is guiding Pearson's loose tongue IZ.
The only times I would say, "You don't have to go along to get along" would be when saying you don't have to do drugs, have sex, steal, etc to fit in with people or make friends. I wouldn't use it to explain Christ's work on the cross mainly because of Romans 10:9.
The difference between Carlton and Van Guyton is that Carlton is promoting his own idea but Van Guyton is basing his position on the facts-- His scripture is alot more specific to the question of are we automotaically saved or must we REPENT AND BELIEVE to be saved..The Bible shows alot more support for the latter than the former-- takes someone with common sense to see the facts and accept it
ramboministry2256
Agreed!! This My Thing!! Carlton Preachers that Hell is False, So If Hell Is False than why teach Christ??
Teach Christ so that the soul does not have to endure punishment before being reconciled to God. Teach Christ so that a person know that while they are here on earth, they can manifest Christ by loving their fellow man and treating him/her in the way they would want to be treated which Christ said was the narrow road to life. He said the Law and the prophets is to treat others in the way that you would want to be treated and then He continued on about the narrow road to life (referring to what He said previously as being that narrow road to life: treating others as you would want to be treated). THAT is the faith of Jesus. We are saved by grace (ie. nothing we have to do on our part) through the faith that says, you must love others as self. That's really the meaning of being saved by faith which should really be 'saved the Faith'. The Faith being His commandment to love one another (as self).
Just imagine if Brian Carn were on this panel.
He was there
Crochet Daikon he’s is in the audience
Oh lord.. he would have cut up bad
I must be missing something -- what is wrong with believing there is no hell? Is it because these nay sayers would be missing their satisfaction of knowing those who are not in their following may come to heaven too? God is the begining and the end all that He made was is and forever more shall be good. God bless you Bishop Pearson!
You can deny God by your actions alone and Carlton has. Pray for him.
Titus 1:16
They profess that they know God; but in works (ACTIONS) THEY DENY HIM, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
John 7:16-17 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,..."
Contoma-who?!?!?! What did he say at 7:20??? lol.
@Dottie1973
So many people hear his ideology and miss the larger point. People, who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, judge, condemn, and push away the people who Jesus Christ would have loved unconditionally. We should be able to disagree peacefully. If you feel that a person is in error, pray for him. If an opportunity arises to talk about the disagreement, we should do so in love and in the spirit of Christ.
And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. Matthew 24:11
Jesus is coming back! Do not be those who fall asleep, stay awoke read the word for yourself. Don’t add or take away from the Bible. We are running out of time! Get ready
Gyaton is too deep. No1 is going to get saved by his gospel. I have been "saved" for years and I understand what he is saying, but if my mother had not raised me in the way of the Lord, and perhaps she was a drug addicted prostitute and never mentioned jesus, I would never come to christ listen to Gayton. Bishop Pearson could reach me. God bless you bishop and keep preaching the gospel. Eyes have not seen nor ear hath heard...
Ok so I'm not biggest Jamal Bryant fan in the world but I do want to say this and it's not just for him but for all the preachers that we have up on youtube let's not keep putting them down because for 1 their human and for 2 if we as christians keep putting down our own then people that are not saved and come upon clips like these or other will start to think that there is no preacher that isn't crooked. If you have a problem with a certain preacher or preacher for the sake of those watching
Just so you are aware; the so-called church in Chicago where Carlton is the interim pastor is not now, nor has it ever been a "real" or "traditional" church. The founder is a woman named Johnnie Colemon who came out of the so-called "unity" church. They dont believe Christ is God or our Savior. They believe Christ is our 'way shower.' They sing about Christ, but are Universal Unitarianistic in there beliefs, doctrine &dogma, which is Y Carlton is there. Christ Universal Temple is "new thought."
When u tell people theres nk hell the hey feel i can do whst i want snd there be no punishment for my sins.
please don't down them on air because we don't know who we could be hindering from getting something that they might need to help them though the day. Like I said I'm not the biggest Jamel Bryant fan but he said so very good things on here and we shouldn't want people to lose focus on that because of his personailty. Or post your pastor or wife preaching and send people to them.
Huh? When?
OMG "bobcatxyz" I did not know Johnnie Colemon was in a nursing home! I wondered why you dont see her anymore at the church, or at a Farrakhan meeting. LOL. You are absolutely right, after all those years of preaching 'you can heal yourself with good thoughts, and fair speeches" that she is sick. Its like Rev. Ike who died of stroke complications this year. Rev. Ike preached the same foolishness. and was a regular@ Christ Universal. And, ur right again, Carlton is an opportunists & needed work!
How does Jamal tie his tie?
Riku Katana quadruple Windsor
I stand amazed at some of the comments support pearson's "gospel of inclusion" when the WORD IS CLEAR ON THE TOPIC-- I mean people pick up the word and approach it objectively instead of reacting by your emotions..truth is truth and the word is the absolute truth dont add to it and do not take away from it....it is not that peaopl crave freedom it is that they crave not being held accountable in accordance with God's standard and his word. We have gotten away from the Word and tolerate anything
When Lexi said, "I think we all can agree that we love Carlton Pearson", Jamal Bryant didn't said a WORD!
AMEN!! People just want an excuse to live like they want to and not live up to the standards that God has called us to. How can there be no hell when Jesus preached that there was?? Any who I agree ramboministry2256 and Major2219
MsDena610 When you see Jesus preach ? Shut up. The white man gave you a book & your ass fell for it like the dumb ass you are. That white man they call Jesus in church ain’t no damn Jesus. Wake up!
Was that Brian Carn @ 5:36? lol...i kno he was itching LOL
Were they booing? 4:35???....
of God, and that sword will be used to RIGHTLY divide the word of truth! Amen, Amen, Amen!
exactly why even have church if we all goin to heaven???????
I John 2:18-25. Please read, some ministers will appear to represent Jesus but they don't. II Corinthians 11:13-15- Don't be deceived. Ep. 4:14- Don't be tricked by false doctrine. II Tim. 3:13-17- Imposters will become worse and worse. We need to get to know our doctrine and God's Word for OURSELVES b/c if not, we will be so easily deceived!
@Dottie1973, Please keep Carlton, his family, and those following this dangerous way of thinking in your prayers, that they might turn their hearts and minds back to God/Jesus before it's too late? This could be anyone of us, as the Bible says, we must endure until the end. So, where there's life there's still hope, and I pray Carlton realizes this before his times up.
Religious folks, (including Christians) are quick to denounce what they didn't announce... These days these religidiots have become even more ignorant, prideful and without compassion... It seems that Christians whether be right than honest and transparent... All religions are guilty and will be held accountable (not excluding Christians)... How do I know? Well since you've asked,,, I've been raised Apostolic, Baptized in the name of JESUS, and baptized in the HOLY GHOST with speaking in tongues
The Grace,the Grace and truth mix to liberat mankind,
Even then the words of Jesus are more authentic and authoritative than any Revelation or vision any man or man of God shall ever have.hell is real and heaven is as the scriptures declares.
Nevermind. I looked it up. Concomitant. adj. Accompanying. Or something that is accompanies.
@zewak4567, How can it be love and Christ centered when it speaks against the very Word it's supposed to stand for? Have u verified by the Bible and the Holy Spirit if any of what Carlton says is true by "God's" standards? Just because Carlton doesn't accept hell which is spoken about many times over in the Bible, doesn't mean it is not there. My heart goes out to him and I pray he comes back to Christ before it's too late.
Ok..either I don't know enough about this "inclusion" thing, or Bishop Pearson lost me when he said@a1:02 that he's still fasting, praying, seeking God and casting out devils...What's da point or use in still doing those things, if we're all going to Heaven or are already in Heaven????? Can't I take my Demon with me??
Wish I were on this panel...
@Happyone4 : A lot of people twist and turn the words of the bible to fit themselves. No wonder a lot of people are falling away from fundamentalism theology.
this is so crazy its scary.....
God's word tells us that the leaders of God's people are held to a higher stander. And we are all called to call out any false teaching. Pearson is changing God's word and he wants people to have a warm fuzzy feeling about him. It's not going to happen. Especially if you're continuing to spread lies.
Romans 10:8-9
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”[a](that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
@Rayana11, "The real objection believers have is not so much with the gospel of inclusion (really that's news to me as this is not Biblical teaching, it's man's nonsense),but the fact that you are no longer special (what about the fact it's not about us but what Christ did for ALL mankind?)". "I don't see anyone concerned w/souls just being right", well what about my Bishop and other ministers like him who are preaching the unadulterated Gospel, don't they count? Everyone is not selfish.
The fact that someone equates having to going to heaven confirms for me that the "church" has it wrong
Repentance is merely a turning away and changing from one state to another state. The assumption being that the previous state was not compatible with the way God would want one to live. Jesus only had one commandment. He even stated that HIs commandments (plural) all came down to just one commandment (singular) and that is to love one another. He who believes in Jesus enough to do what He said and, THEREFORE, love one another will be saved/have life. I agree with Bishop Pearson when he says, everyone is already saved due to Jesus' death on the cross because He died for the sins of the world. To be obedient and keep the Lord's commandments is another aspect of being saved. That is to say, if you don't keep His commandments, the penalty is to endure punishment. However, because the person has been saved by Jesus, the punishment is temporary, not eternal. The unrighteous (or those who do not keep the commandment to love thy neighbor as self/treat others in the way they would want to be treated) suffer punishment prior to being reconciled back to God, just as Pearson mention regarding all things being reconciled back to God. The bible even says the last enemy to be destroyed will be death itself. You can't have souls being eternally (forever) tortured in a place called Hell if God's mercy endures forever and you can't have souls being eternally tortured in a place called Hell in a state of death when death will no longer exist. If death is destroyed and will no longer exist, then that means no souls will be in a state of death in a place called Hell because everyone gets reconciled back to God.
Yes I agree but if they don't except Jesus then they are lost they need to except Jesus as there Lord and savior
Lexi, I am curious to know do you or do you NOT believe in Inclusion?
I lov CARLTON
Did you see Lexi's face when he said "concomitant"? LOL! ...But yea, I agree with you. That's black folk for you.
LOL...HAHAHAHA....That is so wrong "bobcatxyz" but so true. On the day of Judgment, when we all have to stand before the judgement seat of Christ, the blood of all those mislead, lied to, and deceived by preachers, will scream out for justice and someone will have to answer for it. I am no saint, I dont want people reading our dialogue to think I am self-righteous. I am a young minister in the gospel and I pray often to God to let me only say what He puts into my heart, to come out of my mouth!
@tonetone153 No one is knocking Carlton, this is a conversation of different opinions. The Christian church is not going away either. Whatever God puts in place will always remain. Also, forgiveness is an act that someone ask for in stating to God that they will not repeat the act that has been done or try their best not for it to repeat. God knows the heart of every man. Just asking for forgiveness alone will not get a person into heaven. Faith without "works" is dead.
Why are people arguing over a religion that the European GAVE dem . The Romans waited to see how the religion could benefit dem , Decided what books would go in the New Testament and which one would not. Then they set up the Roman Catholic Church for guardenship , The very people that nailed the nails . Learn the Bible from the outside .Then you may go back to your truth nature as a Spiritual Being with no strings attached.
@staleyhhc1 The Supreme Creator did not establish the Christian church. Constantine did. The Council of Nicea, a group of Catholic bishops, mandated and compiled what you call the word of God in 325 AD. They burned the rest of the writings. What gave them the right to do that? Did non Jewish people before Jesus automatically go to hell because they didn't believe in Yahweh? What did our ancestors do before the slave master told them that their concept of Deity was incorrect? And the James 2 tel
sorry is it me or is his thumb really bent ?
If your experience of God is through Jesus, I bless you with that experience. But you cant deny other people's experiences of God. I do not feel that in an earth with 7 billion humans here currently and trillions of human beings that have passed through earth that God meant for everyone to be automatons to the same message.
Stephen, speaking the truth has nothung to do with it-- It depends on HOW you spoeak the truth. We must speak the TRUTH but we must do it in love. Saying that God loves you but you must believe to be saved is not a doctrine of hate and ignorance its God's word.
I just feel that its dangerous what mr calton is preaching to tell people theres no hell.on the other hand i can see how he feel when he say, how can a loving God send people tk hell.i ferl God dont send us to hell people send their self there when tut they refused to get saved and when they dont repent and turn from sin.
@GuitarHeroKingz1 I so agree with you!!! Couldn't have said it better.
What has happened to Carlton is devastating to me! Saddly, he problem is not a theological problem! There are few ministers, historians, philosophers, theologians, etc that know the "WORD" and the and the biblical languages and test as well as he does. His problem is simply MORAL one. He MUST have some iniquity that he has got allowed the Holy Spirit to give him victory over so he has changed his doctrine to accept his immoral lifestyle! My personal opinion, he is a closet homosexual!
what did this man say???
This "Bishop"thought nobody was going to question his heresy and so called revelations.When you have Oral Roberts rebuking you,you are in bad shape.
@whatisthequestion3 Actually it does...Acts 16:30 Check it out!
And I have bible to back it up... If you'd like, read 2 Colossians in it's entirety...
You can not make a comparison between your (Bishop Pearson) ostracism and the Apostle Paul. NO COMPARISON. Paul did not try to re-write the Bible
When Van Gayton speaks, I get the distinct impression of a man who is so proud of his letter and degrees, and seminary wisdom, yet has no clue of spiritual matters.(1 Cor 2:5-14) His nonsensical rant about the "objective" and "subjective" sides of the gospel, which is no where found in scripture. is just sheer foolishness. A sad example of adding to the word of God to fit ones doctrinal traditions
Having church
No this is not that Bishop Pearson.
@jimboedwardlee, "Christianity is not well understood in the Black community"??? You're kidding of course I hope, unless you're referring to the community you live in perhaps??
Paul said if any man or angel preach to you another gospel, besides the one you heard from us let him be accused. And to some up all the clusios. Jesus said! I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me.Jn.14:6(He is not a way He is The Way) & Read Jn.3:16 & Rom.10:9-13 Think on this, if i see you about to drive over a bridg, that has danger signs of, bridg ends here please make a U-turn next . I see the danger signs from where i stand, but you can't,stop!
EXACTLTY!
wow Doctor Jamal has missed no meals.Just alot of smoke blowin!
@Dhar5039 There we go with the "opinions". You're no different from he is. The biggest problems with bible scholars are their "opinions".
