I giggled from a humanistic standpoint of the young man\u2019s totally missed choice of words and dramatic nature as all \u201chonest\u201d people would. It wasn\u2019t funny that he was declaring deliverance because that\u2019s what the \u201cCHURCH\u201d teaches us, especially those of the Pentecostal persuasion.<\/p>\n<p>We come from the \u201cName it and Claim it\u201d generation. Speak those things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17).<\/p>\n<p>HOWEVER!!!&#8230; The Church in and of itself has FAILED hard in skillfully learning and knowing how to walk people through a deliverance!!! If the truth be known MAJORITY of believers are not delivered!!! I am going to try not to go off on a tangent before making my whole point because now that I am talking I got a heck of a lot to say. In watching the video attached to this post, Bishop Porter addresses the PROBLEM without Admitting to the CAUSE beginning from Bishop Carter\u2019s message and horrific, uneducated, amateurish, uncouth, uncivilized, foul-mouthed, vulgar, ungodly, anti-loving, anti-Christ way of preaching on the issues of Homesexuality!!!<\/p>\n<p>While Bishop Porter admits that the statement from Bishop Carter, \u201cI wish you would bleed out of your butt-hole since you want to be a woman\u201d (seen on the video) was over the top, he alludes to the fact that Bishop Carter\u2019s statement is not a representation of the COGIC, or the leadership of the COGIC. Why the heck doesn\u2019t he represent you??? If someone gets up and preaches anything outside of the faith and belief system of your organization they should be sat down! Now silence that!!!<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Porter then goes on to say, \u201cNo one knew he would say that and he probably didn\u2019t even know he would say it himself. He just got carried away in the moment.\u201d Well now we have an even BIGGER problem!!! Because that indicates 1) you are operating out of your flesh and an emotional flare of personal dislikes and not the spirit of compassion, 2) you are now being controlled by a demon since you are saying things you shouldn\u2019t or didn\u2019t mean to say, 3) you are a ridiculous waste of years in ministry when you have held the office you have held for this long but can\u2019t skillfully, effectively, and maturely express or deliver a message without a filter of your heartless, fossil-like techniques of ministry!!! So to be safe Bishop Porter does not own up to the ERROR made and simply apologize for the mistake. Not to mention you all did not stop him, you AMENED him loudly!!! Instead you justify it and continue your effective-less way of reaching people as you have for years.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how effective that approach would have been in dealing with a fornicator? \u201cYou nasty foul slutty, stank, (blank) sucking, pile of trash!!! I hope you get bugs!!! I hope your male piece splits in half while you\u2019re screwing.\u201d Hhhmmmm\u2026I can\u2019t quite see people flooding the altars saying Yes Lord I hear you deliver me!!! You see the clouded and prejudiced way people deal with what they want to deal with? What happened to 1) With lovingkindness have I drawn thee (Jer. 31:3) 2) If I be lifted up from the earth I\u2026I\u2026I will draw all men unto me (John 12:32) 3) He was moved with compassion (Mark 1:41) 4) He that winneth souls is wise (Prov. 11:30). I think this post has gotten long enough, but I am enraged. And nobody can pull the, \u201cThis is just the view of a person who condones or lives as a homosexual\u201d card because that\u2019s not my struggle.<\/p><!--CusAds0-->\n<p>I am strongly against homosexuality and still stand for holiness but I have a brother who is married to a man and he knows I don\u2019t condone it but I have loved him for years. However from the place of being a young person trying to figure out how to shift the current religious conditions of the Church as is, and for someone to get up with this ANTIQUATED approach to preach someone out of sin sends me so far over the edge I can\u2019t even articulate it. We are trying to build the Kingdom and you got some numbskull steadily tearing it down within. Somebody might think I\u2019m approaching this too strongly but he didn\u2019t think he was approaching the homosexuals to strongly so let\u2019s go since we operating in the \u201cspirit of strongness.\u201d The bible-bashing, you going to hell if you don\u2019t get right day is OVER! Yes Holiness or Hell still stands but you better upgrade your stupid mindset and technique in reaching this generation or you will be the most ineffective body of people of all times. This is why we are losing soooooo many people from the Church!!!<\/p>\n<p>Then you want to rare people out when they don\u2019t have a Church home or a covering. What the heck are you covering??? You can tell from Bishop Carter\u2019s image, his persona, his dialect that he comes from that \u201cold holiness\u201d way where a homosexual does not have a chance. You lead with a strong arm and no one can tell you anything until the floor falls out from under you. You don\u2019t take the time to listen to what they have been through, or provide a strategy for them to walk out their deliverance. Instead you grease people down like a chicken and say \u201cHocus Pocus! Abra Cadabra! You\u2019re delivered.\u201d Not telling them when you leave you have a lifestyle change to go through. This situation has exposed more than the young man, but it has finally burst open the ineffective, untrained, unskilled, unpurified, contradictive way we have been doing ministry for ions.<\/p>\n<p>And I mean the entire Pentecostal Movement! From COGIC, to BIBLEWAY, to PAW, to AOH, to COOLJC!!!<\/p>\n<p>How many of you have classes on deliverance? (The old mothers who knew what they were doing have pretty much died out so what is your new staff of young people doing?) How many of you perform consistent deliverances on yourselves to make sure what you are trying to cast out of others is not in you??? How many of you preach against stuff that you also allow to operate in your pulpits? How many of you have classes and training on spiritual gifts? I rest my case!!!<\/p>\n<p>This is about the most contradicting, CONFUSED Christian era I have ever seen in my life!!! Some of you don\u2019t believe in the Prophetic but you believe in speaking in tongues!!! When clearly Paul said in 1 Cor. 14:5 I would rather you prophesy than speak in tongues and that was for the purpose of edification! And in my conclusion this is why the Church has issues across the board because WE do not know the Power nor Strategies of Edification!!!! I will probably get hate mail and somebody trying to read me with some broken &#8211; English filled paragraph that I will have to try to interpret from such a strong lack of intelligence, but whatever\u2026it will further prove my point regarding the UNEDUCATED CHURCH! Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0--><p>&#8211; Melissa S.
