Praying for you.

No, you are exactly right. Got saved into Pentecostal hyper-charismatic church. Took me 20 years to detangle theology. Bill Johnson and NAR are extremely dangerous especially where young people are concerned.

No you are not the only one, Lonnie Frisbee was a homosexual and a self professed prophet. They were doing acid and he was reading the Bible and baptizing these people and they were all high. They are no homosexual Christians. This man was not an evangelist. I would never go watch this movie, nor would I take a child to see this movie. God is very clear in the Bible when he says there will not be homosexuals in heaven. To even associate Lonnie Frisbee with Christianity is blasphemy against God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of God ? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral nor idolators nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10. Nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God.

The term “broken” applies to every human being as it is used by most Christians, because the better word might be “fallen.” Adam, was originally created without sin, but with ability to choose. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden, they “fell” from their non-sinful condition, and all of humanity inherited that fallen or “broken” condition. How sin manifests itself in our lives and how the sin of others against us wounds is has nothing to do with being broken. We are ALL broken because we are all fallen, with a sun nature. Any discussion bouncing around specific terms needs to include specific definitions of the intended meaning. In a usual, Christian context, it means sinful and imperfect, whether the individual sinful behavior is gossip, greed, judgment, sexual sin, gluttony, lying, theft, selfishness, being critical or something else. There does seem to be a special compassion for survivors of trauma because of the pain involved, but there’s no implication those traumatized are any more or less “broken.”

What I read here, both in the article and in the comments, are a lot of opinions and judgments, none of which are ours to make. Only God knows the true hearts of these men, including Lonnie Frisbee. Although the Word of God is our final authority for truth, only unbridled arrogance would claim to have the absolute truth on every point. When discussing others in ministry, whether living or dead, please clothe your speech in love and mercy, and leave the “absolute” statements about their character and ministry out, and trust that the Father, through Christ, will handle all things rightly, without our contributions and/or flimsy attempts to judge for Him.

When does a man share the story of what the Lord has done for him? Jesus said to go and tell them right away! When the man said to the church leaders he didn’t know who healed him he simply said, all I know is that I once was blind but now I see!!!! The “church” didn’t like it!
So I ask you all, when does a person tell someone else about Jesus? When you’re as good as Billy Graham,? or when you’re all cleaned up and never fall in sin again?
or if you’ve never committed the newly formed list of sins the christians of America has written on their hearts and minds.
Jesus hung out with tax gatherers and prostitutes with out criticizing them but instead He healed them and gave them new life. You are like the prodigal sons brother who doesn’t want the father to give his sinful brother a banquet…

Also Lonnie wrote or had written from his own tapes. I think 4 books. He was not a practicing homosexual as people said. He did say he made some mistakes however he made it clear that was not his lifestyle and he said its against God. I think many Pastors cut him down because they were hiding things also. I also listened to Lonnie frisbee’s brother who did an interview on Lonnie

I think a lot of people are listening to 1 guy’s opinion. Why is it that these Pastors are saying that Lonnie Frisbee was a homosexual when that’s their opinion & that’s not what it sounds like Lonnie said & isn’t it odd that in this story no one confessed that 1 of the Pastors had an affair with Lonnie’s wife according to the story & also if that did happen I would think that would devastate a man that had been sexually assaulted as a little boy by an adult male & then keep n mind when Connie Frisbee asked for marriage counseling, she was told that wasn’t important by her Pastor. Everyone sure will cut Lonnie Frisbee down though. I don’t get it.

Thank you Audra. Your understanding of the power of love is commendable. Its been my experience that its impossible to love another until we ourselves have been undone by the love of the Father at the deepest level of our being. He said love one another as I have loved you. God only knows how many church goers have never experienced the love of God themselves. The Gospel is the all about at the Cross God so loved me, you and the whosoever John 3:16 speaks to. I love that word whosoever because that’s me that’s you that’s Lonnie.
While I lived as a hippie for 5 years from 16 years old to 21 I lived in a tepee on both coasts of Canada and had many experiences of communal life also. At the root of all my seeking was an aching need to be loved. Jesus found me and led me to the Northern California move of God on Sonoma Mountain and in Santa Rosa at His Name Ministries. I’m over 70 now and I continue to sing of His love for me and will forever. Its my conviction that we take heaven to Heaven. God really wants us to enjoy His free gift of Grace and mercy today. Its the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. What’s more good than His unmerited love? Remember this: to believe is to receive and to receive is to believe. God is looking for people who will take Him at His word. The Spirit and the Bride say Come…is the message those of us who came should be living out daily.
