Why do you care what anyone says about your pastor? If your pastor is truely a believer he wouldn’t care either. Too many people worship the pastor and not the Lord.

God didn’t tell us to “LOOK” back….Jesus is to to the front, ahead of us to follow “HIM” leading us (NOT MAN)…and he sure doesn’t need our money. He plainly says you can’t serve “Him” and money….you will love one and hate the other….So for all these “MONEY” men in the name of their god “MONEY” what you doing ain’t got nothing to do with “GOD”…..It’s flesh stuff (man’s love of money)! Idol..

There is no problem with OT preaching if you connect it with Christ, Luke 24:27, Romans 1:1-6.

If the teacher can’t connect it to Christ, they are not ready to teach it.

There is nothing wrong with O.T. preaching if your trust is in God and not in the letter.

I think Pastor Alexander is an awesome man of God. However, the water, ice steam concept, in my humble opinion, does not accurately explain the trinity. For example, if is poosible to go from liquid to steam without the process of freezing the water. Unfortunately, you cannot bypass the Spirit to get to the Son and the Father. In the book of Exodus, the horn and the Brazen Altar have to be one as is the Father and the Son. The presence of the Spirit is through the cords of love which held Christ to the cross. The sacrifices were bound to the horns with cords.

my point is the pimps are out side the body of Christ, they have another gospel. paul said let them be dammed and if dammed why is this site wasting time judging them.

(MN: The purpose of the site is warn the unaware out there of the pimpishness of these men and women. I’m not trying to talk to the pimps, write to the pimps, or otherwise modify the pimps’ behavior. My purpose is to draw attention to them and wave people away from them. )

CovEsch………here’s the verses cited.

1Cr 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1Cr 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1Cr 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
1Cr 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1Cr 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

I’m not sure what your point is here??

Those that are within the church are to be judged by the church. Those outside the church are to be judged by God.

We are within the church. Therefore we are executing the command to judge the doctrine and fruit of those within the church.

We don’t have a “Heathen” section because we leave that to God.

So, the answer is “yes” this site lines up with those verses. Did I miss something??

Scripturally speaking, who are the anointed today? Please provide scripture to make your case.

We are instructed to judge who we will associated with as a saint in scripture such as 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

I am very carefgul when I do makew comments of men of God. The only thing I want to say, is be careful when you last out to God’s anointed. Know taht your place is not to make judgemnt on wether or not men pof God are empty and then at the same time calling them foolish. Be wise, be slow to speak.

you have no idea what you are talking about…going to a church only once, you will never fully understand. My Pastor, Dr. Claude Alexander Jr preaches from the whole bible. Simply put, he preaches what the Lord instructs him to preach. He will do a series in the old testament…just as he will do a series out of the new testament. In reference to the trinity comment…Pastor Alexander actually did a bible study where he explained the trinity…in his own words he gave the example of the trinity being like ice water and steam…all 3 coming from the same property (water) but all serving 3 distinct operations…that is true. Please do not talk about my pastor, without coming to the church on a consistant basis. Any hypothesis that is only tested by one experiment can not be concluded as true or false. When you talk about he doesn’t preach about the son…why in every sermon…he takes Jesus to the cross….that to me is preaching about the Son….

He needed to seek the Lord’s face back in 2000 when he played at an event for the false messiah and teacher Sun Myung Moon. Ever since then, I knew he was off…. so this latest announcement isn’t shocking at all. Pray that he repents - not only of the tax issues, but also of the support of blatantly UNCHRISTIAN movements like the Moonies.

Thank you Stephenolan for the information I needed to know. I now see the circles that Bishop John Francis runs with and it is a gruesome sight.
His ministry will be heading in my neck of the woods soon (North Carolina) and I do not wish to go. I am not ashamed to say it but the man had me fooled. I pray to one day find a church with sound doctrine with no affiliations with other heretics. One’s soul depends on it. Again, thank you and you’re right, enough said.

Bishop Francis has a ministry here in London, correct. All one has to do is look at his website: http://www.johnfrancis.org.uk/ (funny how his church website has one page functioning: http://www.ruach-ministries.co.uk/ with no info yet his own page is full of self promotion) and see him standing side by side with Benny Hinn to see this guy is off.

Instead of his annual conference entitled “Order My steps” being held in the UK, he takes it all to North Carolina, why? I guess the U.S is where all the money’s at.

Take a look at this page: http://www.johnfrancis.org.uk/jaf_bio.htm and scroll down. Notice the flyer for the latest “Order my steps” conference. Notice one of the speakers (2nd on the left), none other than “Oneness” proponent, Biship Noel Jones. He also had a book out entitled: ‘10 Steps to Get out of Debt’…hmmmm. And finally just in case this didn’t put you off, here’s what TBN had to say about Bishop Francis: http://www.tbn.org/index.php/2/4/p/282.html. Take note of something near the bottom of the page:

To Melvin or Gary V

Have any of you ever hear of this minister named Bishop John Francis and his wife Penny. They have a ministry in the UK. I once saw him on the Word Network a year ago, and he gave a sermon named “The Bleeding Church”. He was speaking about the pretense in the church today and how we are in need of true sound doctrine and to be honest, I thought it was moving. Also how our belief in Christ is not based on tradition, but a relationship with Him. I was wondering do you know anything about his doctrine and what he stands for? I know this site is about Claude Alexander and found out what he stands for,but I had to ask. I don’t bother too much about the Christian networks anymore, considering I realize these are pimping networks.

He will not respond. I have sent emails and left voice mesages. HE KNOWS what he is doing…leading people straight to Hell!

I though about a scripture in which Paul said “When I was a child, I spoke as a child and when I became a man, I put away childish things. I forgot where the scripture is and I may have forgotten some of the words but once God has touch you life, you don’t want to play church anymore and as an adult, you know better. These false prophets as someone stated are masquerading as the body of Christ, and many of them know better and they are selling Christ out for money and fame, beguiling unstable souls as the scripture says.

Can you or anyone else recall a time in your life, especially when you were kids, when you and your sisters and brothers or maybe friends would play church. One of you play the pastor, the other or others would play like they’re slain in the spirit, and one of you would have a fan in your hand. Your family members and friends would sit around like they’re the congregation and be amused?

In response to Double G’s comment

I know this is an old article but in reading it, I believe what Melvin is saying that Claude Alexander and his associates,by their actions are showing you is that they do not believe or refuse to preach about the Trinity. You cannot preach about the Father without preaching about the Son and the Holy Ghost. They are not preaching the gospel of Christ, which is in the New Testament. You must cover all aspects of the Bible. Many of the so called ministers love to quote the Old Testament because it is a money game. For example, tithes and offerings is what keeping a lot of churches going, and I have just found out because we are under grace from the law and there are no more priests to collect the tithes and offerings(Christ is our priest), we are not obligated to pay it.

I would also like to say that yes, God is still convicting us of our sins, especially with the use of His Holy Spirit. If you are truly God’s anointed mouthpiece, then you must warn the people and expose their sins. Many churches are not showing us the error of our ways because if they did, then they would not have such a big crowd. They would run away from them so therefore, no monetary gain for them. It goes to show that they are not serving the Lord in good intentions.

If anyone wants to comment or correct me, you may.

I have just moved to Charlotte in 2006 from New York and I have heard of Claude Alexander through watching the Word Network when I would come home from church. I was going to one day check out his congregation but since I am learning now that he associates himself with other heretic preachers and he only preaches from the Old Testament, I cannot allow my soul to be in jeopardy like that. In the meantime, I would continue to pray, read the word of God and may He lead me to a place where there’s sound doctrine and the gospel of Christ is preached.

(MN: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is one of the purposes of Pulpit-Pimps.Org. The reader didn’t even have to go to University Park and was warned away.

I’m not trying to turn the pimps from their ways. I’m trying to warn you about them so you can stay away from them. )

I know this comment is a little late in coming, but I just found the post about UPBC. I actually was a member there for over a year and it is not true that the pastor only preaches from the Old Testament. He preaches from both the old and new. In addition, the church has a traditional baptist interpretation of the word as far as the deity of Jesus is concerned. Their membership classes are 10 weeks long and their beliefs are detailed throughout that time. However, many of his sermons have leaned toward the prosperity message, which I have problems with. I left the area because of a job change, but I believe many churches are not adequately preparing their members for coming economic hardships on a national/global scale. I also feel that they leave their members without a thorough understanding and perspective on debt.
