No I do not Gary but neither do I post on the WWW how great a job that someone does in representing Christ when the truth is they used that language in front of millions of viewers.

It was a question, nothing more. It was not clear from your earlier post.
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

Apparantly, You never saw former AOG minister Gene Scott, who would curse during his preaching(tirades).

I saw a video on the net. What a joke! Did the AoG cut him loose or did he leave on his own?

I don't know.

I know I was told by someone in Cleveland that Gene Scott "told it like it was."

I think there's something in the water in that town.

Stephen has been known to hang out with some shady characters.

But you have to give the guy a break he came a family so depraved his brothers celebrate their birthday by eating their Birthday meal off of naked women.


No kidding. plus we only saw what the producers wanted us to see. Who knows how it was edited and spliced together.

He is in the body, right where God has placed him reaching people that I'll never be able to.

Okay, you know my deal. I don't think the cuss words thing is a major deal in terms of his faith. I also think believers ought to be strong enough in their faith to hear a cuss word from another believer and not guffaw and blanche at it. I also think wisdom says "Don't do it. Watch your tongue." All those things are and can be true at the same time. Keep in mind who Baldwin reaches: teenage guys who love to skateboard and live life in a raw way most of us aren't accustomed to. Their rawness is not what they're being saved from. It is a process of growing up, and I'm not saying SB is there, but I don't think it is a great mark of our own maturity to stand and say, "He shouldna oughtta done that."

I think some of you are absolutely correct. Let me get the boards and nails and you can help me crucify him for not having a perfect witness while in a public forum. Because I have read your posts for years, FQ, on this and other forums and you have always been the shining example of Christianity, just like I have. As matter of fact, lets not crucify him, you and I both have the right to throw stones, don't you think. :lol:

I loved Dr. Gene Scott, for one.

Just for his costumes. Two pairs of glasses, a paramilitary uniform, and of course...those wonderful pictures of his horses right after he screamed at viewers to donate.

I watched him once; ranting and raving about something or another he went to special singing and the singers went to singing a gospel song and he decided he wasnt through ranting and began to curse and rant some more.....the singers just grinned, paused, waited til he was finished and began singing the gospel song again.

I'd hate to have a gulllable, dominated mind like those singers.

I'm not crucifying him. We were asked what we thought and I have responded to that.

How do you feel he handled his convictions (and let's not be cynical or critical, I admire a person who tries to be a witness for Jesus) and how do you handle it when at work or with unbelievers? How do you walk the line between standing for your convictions and coming across as judgmental?
