2nd Lexi-Pearson show: another disaster?
For the second time, Lexi’s religious oriented show on the Word Network has featured the false prophet Carlton Pearson along with other ministers who were supposed to be strong enough to refute his heresies. The first group failed miserably as Pearson easily danced around them with his storied glib of tongue. It was a disaster. The preachers were like little puppies waiting for some kibbles and bits from Pearson’s hands.
After multiple complaints, Lexi decided to assemble a second team comprised of George Bloomer, Jamal Bryant and Dr. Van Gayton of Logos Bible College. Needless to say, things did not go well for Team two. Pearson still dominated them by making several stunning claims. Among them: in the early years of Azusa Conference he was “pimping and being pimped” by other well known preachers.
According to Pastor Harvey Burnett of The Dunamis Word blog, a cryptic exchange occurred between Bryant and Pearson at the end of the show. Pastor Burnett reviewed the video and provided some rather eye-opening commentary about the sordid state of affairs going on today.
Was this embarrassing disaster number two? Will Lexi get yet another team of “preachers” in an attempt to put Pearson in his place? We report, you decide.

Is Lexi’s gay ‘assistant’ blocking some guests?
The Word Network is arguably the black version of TBN: chocked full of church kooks, false prophets and prosperity pimps. The network is a microcosm, reflecting the current state of the contemporary black church in America. And somewhere, comfortably in the middle of the madness is the Lexi Show.
Like most of the religious talking heads on the gabfest market, the Lexi Show, now in its fourth season, isn’t helping to promote biblical standards on sexuality. Its not exactly tearing them down either, just making them de minimis, of minor importance.
Have you wondered why 
Lexi was parading all the gay false prophets onto her show while claiming to be a “journalist” with an obligation to give fair hearing to everyone’s voice. Incidentally, Lexi has not had any actual journalistic training.
After the now infamous Lexi interview with heresy spewing Tonex, it was time for a closer at the show. Lexi herself seems to be a reflective composite (or product) of this new age church and its religious matrix system: false love and piety, relativity, selective nonjudgmentalism, ever learning but never being able to come to the knowledge of the truth, form of godliness, seeking status and position rather than true humility and service to Christ. In short, I would call it the black emergent church.
During Lexi’s interview with Tonex, her demeanor was receptive, cordial and passive. Her questions to Williams were silver platter “softballs” with shallow (if any) followup to his excessive lies and faulty logic.
One person scheduled on an upcoming show (who I cannot name for obvious reasons) told GCM Watch that when it comes to homosexuality, Lexi has no biblical depth, so she is completely out of her league in attempting to converse with the likes of con artists former guests Bishop Yvette Flunder and Carlton Pearson. By the way all the Carlton Pearson videos have been removed by the Lexi Show.
It was very interesting the contrast of the recent interview with Pastor Tony Smith of Atlanta with that of of Pastor Anthony Williams of San Diego. Both, in my estimation are biblically challenged. But Lexi’s bias was on blazing display. Gone were any pretensions of being professional, a journalist, etc. She was openly hostile to Smith [watch video of her facial expressions] and those who accompanied him. She even took time to attack members of Smith’s church for not participating in her “worship” service. Lexi was snide, sarcastic and combative with Smith but called Tonex her brother in the Lord who she was obligated to “love”.
In the interviews with Flunder and Pearson, Lexi barely registers any visible disagreement with them. Even when Donnie Earl Paulk said the Holy Spirit asked him if he (the Holy Spirit) was homosexual would Paulk still worship him, Lexi tossed the question to a embarrassingly weak pastor who refused to condemn Paulk’s stark blasphemy. Given such a volatile and divisive issue in the church, anyone serious about truth (not emotional string pulling) would ask the hard questions and press for answers to them.
The Lexi Show has an unspoken agenda to desensitize us to these false prophets and their heresy. The issue isn’t having them on, the issue is allowing them to be there with no sound —and comparable— counteraction to their doctrinal vomit. Further, that she still considers them “brothers and sisters” in Christ, despite the fact these people actively and openly fight against the Word of the Lord is reprehensible.
At the end of the Tonex episode, she attaches a (sort of) disclaimer. But its an interestingly crafted statement.
“I would like to take this time to thank my friend and brother Tonex, for a very open honest and candid interview. It is my belief that a man is made for a woman and a woman is made for a man, I believe the bible speaks very clearly about this, however as a journalist it is my job to tell the story. And as a Christian it is my job to love absolutely everybody and I do that. Unequivocally and unapologetically.”
Although she said that she believes in heterosexuality, its important to note she neglects to condemn homosexuality.
You can check Lexi’s videos and you wont see gushing “I must love everyone” disclaimers on anyone else. Why this one?
Behind the scenes with Lexi
The major unseen problem with people like Lexi is that they generally have someone in their inner circles who are homosexual and don’t want to offend them by speaking up for the truth. Because the massive influence of unrepentant homosexuals behind the scenes of the gospel music and entertainment industry (Tonex confirmed that), truth is restricted. The only thing acceptable is for us to have a big, happy, ignorant praise fest replete with gay club sounding churchified music that’s coded with their downlow sin (Tonex confirmed that too).
Behind Lexi’s scenes is Vaughn Alvarez. You’ll see his name in the credits of her show. He’s Lexi’s assistant, public relations rep, webmaster 
and also screens the calls of potential guests for the show. Alvarez (pictured right), a Nashville based entertainment promoter also handles work for COCO, Brandy and Donnie McClurkin. Granted, all the entertainment types employ someone to screen people who seek to talk to them, but is Alvarez intentionally blocking guests who could come on the show and refute the lies told by Pearson, Flunder and Tonex? This is a classic fox guarding the henhouse scenario.
Alvarez’s twitter page is a good indicator of where he falls on the issue of homosexuality and the bible.
Alvarez, Sep 10: “VOGUE EVOLUTION 4EVER BABY!!!!!!!” (Vogue Evolution is a group of homosexual dancers plus a transvestite).
Alvarex, Sep 13: “People r just not ready to accept the truths about the way church is. That’s why I stay far away from church queens and overly church peeps!”
Alvarez, Sep 12: “The truth sets us free! I love Tonex for being free & being comfortable being the wonderful human God made him.”
Alavrez’s twitters invites his gay friends to call him to contact Lexi.
But others do not get such a enthusiastic and inviting welcome.
Linda Carter, a former lesbian who lives in Mobile, AL told GCM Watch when she called after the Carlton Pearson episode, Alvarez answered and replied that he was Lexi’s “assistant”. Carter said she told Alvarez she wanted to speak to Lexi personally and Alvarez replied that regardless of the method, all communication to Lexi was routed first through him. When she told him she wanted to be considered as a guest to share her testimony about deliverance from lesbianism, Alvarez instructed her to send it in and he would take a look at it.
But after she received no response, Carter called back. This time Alvarez “had a nasty attitude and was dismissive with me” . When Carter asked if he had read the testimony he told her to send him, Alvarez told her” we’ve already heard those types of testimonies before.”
Carter said she waited longer, hoping that she would get the opportunity to speak with Lexi about the situation. But Alvarez refused to take any more calls from her.
The one guest who is scheduled on an upcoming segment told GCM Watch although they were aware of who Alvarez was, their spot on the show came about through a chance meeting with Lexi. The meeting was independent of Alvarez’s involvement. Further, the guest said that Lexi seemed only interested in a certain sensational part of the guest’s story.
God’s not dead, but Tonex is in his sins… (The Dunamis Word)
Sad day for Tonex
Former gospel industry worker Tonex (Anthony Williams) stepped further into his false identity by telling a religious talk show host he –among other things– didn’t “struggle” with his sexual attraction to men.
We’ve covered this here (with Tonex comments) and a eye opening article from his former wife Yvette here. Christocentric who’s engaged Tonex several occasions on her blog also covers with video.
And there’s plenty about his steadily failing nature in blogdom, but I wanted to address several problems with Tonex’s ideology.
I am sad to have to echo Christocentric’s conclusion: Tonex has officially become reprobate. Like false prophets Yvette Flunder and Carlton Pearson before him, he has rejected God’s truth for a lie and entered into a realm where he attempts to justify his sin. He may not realize that it is God himself who releases such a person to indulge in the gross darkness of sexual immorality while proclaiming themselves to be wise. Its a terrifying matrix world inside out.
(1) Tonex says he was molested, but doesnt affix the molestation to his homosexuality.
True, while molestation is not the cause of homosexuality, it is most certainly a factor in how one views their own sexual identity and the expression of it. Sexual molestation significantly inhibits an individual’s ability to develop Godly perspectives on sexuality. With little to no spiritual intervention (as is the case in pentecostalism), people like Tonex can easily end up advocating the words of seducing spirits.
Then there is this whole new handily redefined virtue of “honesty”. Whether it is with God or each other as children of God, biblical honesty or truthfulness always leads to repentance, redemption and reconciliation . For example in 1 John 1:9… if we confess (are honest about) our sins, HE is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. NIV
Adopting the world’s definition of honesty only leads to the justification of a lie. Just because one discloses, does not make it honest if there is no acknowledgement and acceptance that one’s actions are sinful and offensive to God. Tonex did not do that.
(2) Tonex says he believe[s] that “God doesn’t honor promiscuity in either hetero or homosexual lifestyles – same gender loving.”
A technical truth that produces nothing because God only honors his Word. The subliminal message in a statement like this seeks to position heterosexuality and homosexuality as two sides of the same coin. But according to God its not so. God didn’t give, sanction, suggest, imply nor provide Adam any sexual attraction to another man. What he created, he declared “good” and that was the final word. Homosexual attraction and behavior is a product of sin and the sinful nature of mankind. It is just one among many expressions of sin that Jesus shed his blood to cleanse us from.
The hard truth is this: Although heterosexuality itself is not inherently holy, it still bears the image of a holy God. In a submitted life, it can become holy. Fornication is a sin, but a man and a woman’s sexual act bears resemblance to the Creator’s original intent. The same is not true of homosexuality. Homosexuality possesses no such resemblance, nor does the possibility exist that it can ever become holy. It is anathema by the oracle of God. It doesn’t descend from the spiritual gene of God, but the gene of sin. Thus it is a more a reflection of death, unfruitfulness and rebellion. A man’s seed in another man is death, but a man’s seed in a woman (even if it is sin) carries the possibility of life. Attempting to equalize the two is the highest offense to the nature of God who is and gives life.
(3) Tonex thinks “safe sex” and so-called gay monogamy are more important than obedience to the will of God.
It is said that Solomon was an extremely wise man, and he said: “there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death” (Prov 16:25). If that’s true, then Tonex is walking into the arms of death with a blindfold on. The faux safe sex message has been a dismal failure, primarily because the human instinct, stoked by the fire of sin and its destructive nature causes the mind to think abnormally. It only takes one time to mess up with a condom and your life is at the mercy of a fatal disease. Recent statistics prove Tonex and the people he is parroting wrong. AIDS and other sex-based diseases are at pandemic levels among black homosexual men. The Washington Post reported that 3 percent of black gay men in DC are infected with HIV! But their spiritual blindness prevents them from seeing the danger of their actions and consequently the numbers continue to escalate. Safe sex indeed.
Tonex should know practicing sin is never safe (John 10:10). That’s the biggest hoax since satan told Eve she would not surely die. And get this: there is only ONE remedy. The blood of Jesus which fully covers and protects and seals you until the day of redemption.
(4) Finally, Tonex is a false pastor. He says “Pastoring is me being the undershepherd pointing them to the cross – not to Tonex. It’s me preaching the unadulterated word of God towards repentance and the cross. I don’t get into people’s bedrooms; I don’t get in people’s clothes closets … God’s not looking at that. Their posture and their heart is the most important thing and for me to point them to the cross is the most important thing.”
If Tonex were a true pastor he would represent the type of Pastor GOD said HE would give the people.
Turn, O backsliding children,’ saith the LORD, `for I am married unto you; and I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. And I will give you pastors according to Mine heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.’
Thus, a true pastor from God feeds the people with knowledge and understanding of God’s will and his way (reference John 4:34). Tonex cannot even lead himself, let alone another person. His statement is a do-as-I-say, not-as-I-do convolution. Sadly, he reveals he isn’t familiar with God at all. For the eyes of the Lord are in every place (including bedrooms and closets) beholding the good and the evil (Prov 15:3). If Tonex were a pastor from God, he would speak against those things done in the dark and against those who think they are hidden from God’s sight.
It is a sad day for Tonex and for anyone following him into hell.
Carlton Pearson handed rejection from 'New Thought' church
Very interesting development after heretic and former pentecostal false prophet Carlton Pearson assumed interim leadership of Christ Universal Temple in Chicago. Rev. Johnnie Coleman, the founder, retired three years ago. On May 4th, Pearson hyped his move coming in by saying he was “excited to move to Chicago and to join the Christ Universal Temple family.” He promised he would “make it a world class institution and take the ministry to new heights and assist people in living their best lives with a practical religious doctrine.” But just slightly over a week later, the church is in full rebellion against his appointment. Imagine that.
Rev. Roderick Norton called Pearson’s leadership an “insult”.
The new thought movement is a patently false version of Christianity which interprets the scripture through a universalist perspective and emphasize metaphysical beliefs. Pearson utilized elements of universalism in his own ridiculous “gospel of inclusion” heresy.
According to Religion News Blog over 1,000 members at the 6,000 member church signed a protest petition against Pearson’s leadership. Pearson expressed surprise that he would encounter such staunch opposition from both members and ministers alike. Especially in a church he considered a far cry from the “hateful fundamentalists” who rejected his heretical teachings.
“New Thought is not an exclusive group that demeans other movements and expressions,” Pearson said. “I didn’t expect to encounter this in New Thought once I moved away from fundamentalism.”
False prophet Carlton Pearson's doctrinal vomit
Well, here we go. Again. Instead of sharply rebuking this reprobate, Christians are still trying to politely dialogue with him and in the process come out looking like childish imbeciles. Here’s Carlton Pearson on the Lexi Show running word circles (and games) around a couple of timid pastors. They seem almost afraid of him. Its very disappointing Lexi couldn’t find anybody who wouldn’t give Pearson’s false doctrine a pass. Notice Pearson’s now out of the closet heretic-in-training sitting next to him. And notice who dominates the conversation although its supposed to be a “dialogue”.
Parts two and three of the show which aired on the Word Network November last year.
Pearson is embarking on a grand publicity stunt. False teachers and false prophets feed off attention to their damnable heresies.
What’s really unfortunate, even with Pearson getting more brazen, delusional and fringe as is possible, some church people are still unwilling to condemn his oft proven false teachings. Some are still stuck on his Azusa revivals and how he used to be so popular.

Briefly watching: Jakes, Pearson and Blake
Several current reports pertaining to issues GCM Watch has covered before are worth noting briefly.
Although unconfirmed by Church of God in Christ (COGIC) officials, word is out that TD Jakes will be preaching at the organization’s 101st convocation in Memphis. Several sources have said Jakes will speak on Sunday night. More on this as it unfolds.
Disgraced former Azusa founder, Carlton Pearson, who began preaching a false gospel called inclusion eight years ago, has folded his church into a Unitarian congregation according to the Tulsa World. Pearson’s church, at the height of his Pentecostal popularity, numbered overed 6,000. Pearson has also been showing up at Atlanta’s gay inclusive trending Cathedral at Chapel Hill founded by another disgraced minister Earl Paulk.
Defending Contending says Christian teacher Ravi Zacharias has “crashed and burned” by compromising sound doctrine. Zacharias called a Roman Catholic mystic “one of the greatest saints of recent memory”. GCM Watch questioned Zacharias response to gay christianity here.
A COGIC Evangelist questions current presiding bishop’s committment to upholding biblical truth about homosexuality. Evangelist O A Flagg says Presiding Bishop Charles Blake “seriously loosened holiness moorings” when he allowed openly homosexual cleric Rev. Peter Gomes to preach twice at West Angeles.
Another gay christian pens yet another arrogant, heresy-laden book defending homosexual christianity. Dr. Patrick Chapman, who says he tried to be straight but failed, now blames that on “evangelicals” While Chapman repeats several worn out cliches he urges gays to get into the religious battle by “learning the bible” which he believes will ultimately defuse all Christian opposition to homosexuality. As GCM Watch noted before the religious gay agenda is in lock step with the political gay agenda. Although they claim to be Christians, their ultimate goal is to destroy opposition to homosexual culture.
A black Christian film producer is under fire from the homosexual community for his play “Church Mess” in which it is said that God can heal AIDS. Homosexual activists called the belief of Atlanta-based Revs. Chad and wife Alicia Cooper a “perverse and dangerous message”. The play opens in Winston-Salem, NC today.
