		<description>Pastor...I am sorry to say this but this web site scares me...The Tonex interview did sadden me, because I am a fan and he is my brother in the body of Christ. I feel like this site is set up to bash gays which is one of the biggest struggles in the church. If u really wanted to help u should have named the site pray saints pray. Pray for the spirit of diserment to stop it on our young ppl before it comes. Let&#039;s just pray...God has the final say, us blogging does nothing, its a thin line between awareness and bashing. LET&#039;S PRAY ! Inclusion is a MESS ! But this spirit comes for the spirtually bold saints...pray saints pray.
&lt;strong&gt;
GCMW: Thanks for visiting and we ask that you keep on praying.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I WATCHED TONEX&#039;S INTERVIEW BY LEXI, AND IN HIS CONFUSED AND DISILLUSIONAL CONFESSIONS, HE NEVER MADE ANY REFERENCE TO THE BIBLE TO BACK UP HIS WAY WARD THEOLOGY, HE KEPT SAYING, I BELIEVE..., I THINK... ANYTIME SOMEONE BASED THEIR BELIEFS ON &quot;I&quot; and NOT GOD&#039;S WORD THAN THEY ARE GOING TO BE WRONG A 100% of the time.  TONEX HAS A REPROBATED MIND. YEARS AGO, I WATCHED HIS OUT OF THE BOX CONCERT ON  A BORROWED DVD, AND IT APPEARED TO ME THAT HIS CONCERT WAS PROMOTING HIMSELF MORE THAN CHRIST. IT SEEMS LIKE HE HAS THIS FANTASY OF WANTING TO BE AN r&amp;b SINGER.  THE SADDEST THING ABOUT TONEX IS THE PEOPLE HE MAYBE MISLEADING INTO THE HANDS OF SATAN. THANKS PASTOR DL FOSTER FOR YOUR INFORMATIVE WEBSITE.</description>

		<description>I live in Canada and we have had great admiration for the black gospel singers in America.  But lately what I see coming out of that group is a sordid mess.  I am apalled.  How could people who call themselves Christian and a representative of Jesus Christ be so blind?  I am sickened to my stomach when I read some of the reports on your website.  It is a sad time for the true church of Jesus Christ.  We need to wake up and call sin sin, no matter who gets offended.  

I&#039;m glad to see a group like you (GCM Watch) stand up for what is right.  God is pleased with your efforts!!  I&#039;m for sure going to research every gospel singer from now on before I even dare purchase their CD&#039;s.  I think I will stage a boycot on these money driven liars!!  Good that Tonex is silenced!! Ernesta.</description>

		<description>This only proves what scripture says in 1 Corinthians 15: 33 (Amplified Version) &quot;Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character.&quot;  You cannot associate yourself with people who believe that this is not sin but a lifestyle.</description>

		<description>Pastor Foster:

I really think that someone may have to investigate this &quot;Lexi&quot; person and also the Word Network in general. This represents two HUGE efforts by Lexi and the Word Network to advocate for homosexual theology. The first was Lexi&#039;s embrace of &quot;homosexual affirming&quot; universalist Carlton Pearson a couple of years ago (and I remember her sympathetically saying &quot;church people can be so mean!&quot; when Pearson was giving his sob story about how actual Bible believing Christians did as they were properly supposed to and rejected his heretical doctrines) and now she is trying to promote and defend Tonex, making him appear to be a sympathetic figure. 

I had issues with the Word Network even during my Word of Faith/prosperity days, because it seemed to me that the founders and owners of the channel were as interested/more interested in the black church as being part of the black cultural/social/economic/religious experience as opposed to being only concerned with glorifying Jesus Christ, reaching the lost, and strengthening the saints. That was evident when the Word Network started giving airtime to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (both of whom, incidentally, are longtime supporters of homosexual theology). 

The Word Network looks like they really are about to cross over into full time promotion of homosexual theology, even if they are willing to give Bible-based preachers &quot;equal time.&quot; But even there, since virtually no Bible-based preachers are dealing with the subject anymore because it is controversial, on one hand you will have the Bible-based preachers on the Word Network and elsewhere remaining silent (or giving spineless mush-mouthed practically evasive answers like Joel Osteen&#039;s &quot;I do not condone homosexuality/it does not represent God&#039;s best&quot;, and even that was when Osteen was forced to address the issue when a journalist asked him at a public event, it wasn&#039;t something that Osteen willingly addressed from his pulpit or during his TV show!) whole the homosexual theologians are loudly proudly brazenly talking about it constantly with no opposition, no debate whatsoever. (Recall a couple of years ago when Soulforce was touring Christian colleges and seminaries challenging the people at them for &quot;dialogue&quot; ... rather than opposing these liars with the word of God, the leaders of top Christian colleges and seminaries went and hid behind their desks while having the police escort them off the campus ... so where Jesus Christ regularly debated the Pharisees and Sadducees and in the process even won some converts from among the Pharisees, some of our leading theologians, pastors and administrators hide from homosexual kids.) The effect is allowing the homosexual activists to carry the day. 

From the civil rights &quot;preachers&quot; to all the homosexual gospel artists to the Word Network to Madea movies, one wonders how long it will be before homosexuality is fully accepted in the mainstream black churches.

Speaking of Madea, Ephesians511 (finally back in business after Youtube shut his original effort down) has two great posts on how Tyler Perry is promoting homosexuality in the black church with his movies and plays.

He also covers Carlton Pearson and T.D. Jakes (albeit from a different angle) here:

http://pure-truth1.blogspot.com/2009/05/is-for-antichrist.html

I stopped watching The Word Network years ago because of their heavy emphasis on Word of Faith/prosperity/oneness pentecostal promoters, but their creeping advocacy of homosexuality within black Christianity is yet another reason to oppose these people.

		<description>People of God: What you are seeing with Tonex, and others, is only the tip of the iceberg as God is pulling the covers off of
sin and those who profess to known him but are reprobates.
The Tonexs&#039; of the world will continue to fool some who want to be fooled but if you are properly handling the Word of God and are in prayer to be led by the Holy Spirit, you will begin to see more and more of these aberrational lifestyles and the lies of those who live it who will try to justify it.
Rebuke the lie and pray for the person. If you are not strong enough, do not try to engage them in conversation because they
will, with guile on their lips, try to ensnare you in their web of deceit.
There is no debate on this issue of sin. Do not attempt to outshout them or try to gain points by showing your Bible mastery.
Some sins are so entrenched that you can do is pray and leave the 
results to God. Your witness is to go in the power of the Holy Spirit and leave the results to God. He alone causes the seed to grow and flourish.
Remember, some people will not want to relinquish their sinful lifestyle because it profits them much and there is much adulation from fans and the flesh enjoys the attention.
If Tonex has heard the Word of God and has outright rejected it, he is scorning the witness of the Holy Spirit and that is a dangerous place to be.
God will not be mocked.
Tonex...you are on dangerous ground. God has shown in ancient times that he literally can open up the very ground you stand on and swallow you when you continue to vex Him and grieve his Holy Spirit.
Repent and believe the gospel!</description>
