**UPDATED/Scroll down

Bishop Charles Ellis, III is pastor of Detroit’s Greater Grace Temple and is the Presiding Bishop of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World (PAW).  Ellis has been lauded for many accomplishments, but could his facebook “friendship” with an Atlanta homosexual church be the bitter fruit of the false inclusion movement?  Long regarded as one of the vanguards of oneness pentecostalism, the 104 year old PAW is doctrinally and biblically opposed to homosexuality. But sources tell GCM Watch that in the PAW, like most pentecostal denominations, church homosexuals are exerting behind the scenes influence which have significantly weakened biblical positions.

Its to be expected.  Religious homosexual carry a deadly spiritual virus. Read about it here.

Thus, organizations like the PAW may not be aware that sin lies crouched at the door waiting to devour the ignorant. Sadly, in the contemporary church serial religious conferences of every kind, celebrity events, activities, and more  hinder the shepherd’s ability to watch and warn.

We’ve reported on Atlanta’s homosexual Vision church and its pastor Oliver Clyde Owens III before. In fact, recently the Lexi show put Allen and his group of feel-good apostates on display for all to see what happens when God gives someone over to their rebellious desires.

Why then is Bishop Charles Ellis a  “friend” to such an enemy of God?

Should the bishop come from among them and be separated? What signal does the leader of such a denomination send to its constituents when he is listed as if he is in support with the wicked? Its an issue that is becoming more and more serious as religious gays spread a deceptive —but inviting—table in front of church leaders. Aware saints should immediately raise the red flag when leaders began straying from God’s truth.  The scriptures teach however that there is to be no association with individuals who self identify as “gay christians”.

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” 1 Cor 5:9-13 (our bold)

Perhaps Bishop Ellis has no idea that his picture and personal facebook page is one of the supporters of a homosexual church. GCM Watch contacted Bishop Ellis’ church for a response. This post will be updated if a response is issued.

Greater Grace Temple office:  (313) 543-6000

Update 2/2/12 9:00am

Although he did not respond directly to GCM Watch, Bishop Charles Ellis told a third party source (who gave us permission to post this) that he has over “20,000″ people on his facebook page and most of them he does not know. Ellis told the third party,  “I don’t know these folk and have never heard of the church. Someone in my office will find the attachment and delete it.”

Its still not clear why Ellis’ personal FB page (out of hundreds of apostolic bishops) was added to this church. This situation also underscores what we have been warning the church about for sometime. Homosexual churches like the “Vision Church” are in massive makeover mode. They know the average church-goer –as biblically illiterate as some are— would never be associated with a self identified homosexual church. So they intentionally delete any language that would alert someone to that fact. Instead they opt to use ambiguous sounding language like “church where all are welcome” or instead of gay or homosexual use nebulous replacement terms like “affectional orientation”.

That’s exactly how the devil operates. He conceals or disguises his true nature to gain access to you. He will appear even as an angel of light bearing “love” and benevolence in order to get closer to you without alarming you. His message is always inclusive of all without telling you of the poison hidden in between the layers of his message. Such are the makeover methods of the gay church.

Leaders like Bishop Charles Ellis should be aware of the tactics of the enemy and not only protect themselves but the millions of people who follow them. There is really in this day and age of instant, accessible information for any leader to use the “I dont know” excuse. If Ellis was added without his permission, isnt that cause for rebuke to whoever did it. If someone on his staff administrates his FB page and added him, how did they know to add him to a homosexual church? Its highly unlikely that this was a random incident and for that reason, we are sounding the alarm.

MONTGOMERY – Apparently rattled by a looming press conference of African American pastors today in front of their Montgomery, AL offices, the Southern Poverty Law Center issued a terse and racially tinged blog post  intended to offset the impact of the spoken truth.

The protest was led by Raleigh-Durham based pastor Dr. Patrick Wooden. With him, over a dozen ministers and leaders —almost half from the city– rallied directly below the offices of the SPLC at 400 Washington Ave. Speaker after speaker praised the organization of their good works in the past only to decry the downward spiral the organization has fallen into under  gay-controlled extremism.

Media coverage included local ABC, NBC, CBS and the Montgomery Advertiser.

Stung by the sharp rebukes of Tim Johnson president of the Fredrick Douglas Foundation , DL Foster founder of GCM Watch and Rachel Conner representing Abiding Truth Ministries, the SPLC later issued yet another apologetic blog post attempting to explain away the hypocritical inconsistencies exposed to the public.

In light of the SPLC charge of that the protestors were a group of blacks manipulated by two white men, Johnson pointed out how ironic  that the SPLC was founded by two white men  (Morris Dees and  Joesph Levin, Jr.) who used the suffering of black people to get rich.*

The second posting landed online with knee-jerk feel to it although its author, Mark Potok, is a celebrated award-winning  journalist.

Mark Potok, editor of the SPLC’s Intelligence Report and this blog, responded to the accusations: “Our listing of anti-gay hate groups is completely unrelated to religion, Christianity or the Bible. These groups are listed because they repeatedly lie in an effort to defame LGBT people, an exercise they’ve been extraordinarily successful at. The idea that we are criticizing these groups because they represent Judeo-Christian morality is simply ludicrous.”

The SPLC does not identify anti-gay hate groups based on their religious views. Instead, the SPLC lists anti-gay groups on the basis of spreading known falsehoods and demonizing propaganda against LGBT people, such as the claim that gay men largely orchestrated the Holocaust.

Potok’s self-indulgent explanation is a sloppy lie. If hate is determined by unproven defamation, numerous homosexual websites and organizations would be on the hate list based solely on criteria. But the criteria is a sham because the real target is the religious beliefs of Christians who oppose homosexuality and are effective at doing so.

Potok acts as the SPLC’s glorified hatchet man.  Refugee Resettlement Watch described him as “part of an extreme leftwing cabal at the Southern Poverty Law Center and we know from this press release (of his own work) at the Huffington Post that he is really running scared (or running low on funds).  And, we know he even looks like a looney leftie from his photo”

Fighting poverty or running a racket?

RRW said it reviewed the Southern Poverty Law Centers most recent Form 990 (2006). Take a look at how dedicated the SPLC is to helping enrich themselves on the suffering of disadvantaged people.

*”They sure are fighting poverty—among their Board members anyway.  Their CEO made $334,886 in salary and compensation that year.  Potok made a measly $140,000 in comparison.  The Southern Poverty Law Center took in almost $45 million in 2006, spent millions on lobbying, and its assets are over $226,000,000.  Oh, and their so-called ‘Poverty Palace’ office building cost almost $100,000 to clean that year.”

Its big business for the SPLC to keep up the drama of their “hate-watch” lists. Since the klan and many white supremacy groups have been nuetralized, the SPLC needs new villians.  New villians bring in more money and more prestige. Apparently the need for new, reliable streams of income led them to partner” with the cash-rich gay rights cow. Anything to keep the money rolling. Even inventing new villians.

Friday night I was a guest on the Barry Morgan show which aired on CJAD 800 in Montreal, Canada. The topic was is homosexuality a choice. On the other side of the debate was gay activist Richard Burnett. You can listen to the audio here.

I personally want to express my appreciation for each of you who come to GCM Watch to be informed, educated and equipped on homosexuality issues which challenge the body of Christ. None of us know fully what 2012 holds for us, but we are trusting God who holds both us and 2012 in his hands.  As we continue to lead the way, please continue to follow our ministry endeavors and our polemics through these social media venues:

You probably have never heard the term gay media religion so here’s a brief definition. It  when a gay media pundit  gets religion for a quick minute in order to make a media point about religion when it deals with gays.

Enter Washington Post opinion writer Jonathan Capeheart. Capeheart drudged up his inner religion to shoot at/throw stones at “conservatives” who don’t want to jump with wild abandon on the gays-are-the-best-thing-since-the-invention-of-the-toilet-paper wagon. To people like Capeheart, anything less than total acceptance of homosexuality,  is tantamount to desecrating the Auschwitz memorial.

In his opinion piece, He cites a bunch of polls to prove that homosexuals are the creme de la creme of American society. Perhaps that’s why they released the “study” which advanced the theory that having a gay marriage improves your health.

“Trying to exclude loving gay and lesbian families [is there such a thing as unloving gay families?], especially those with children, is a wasted effort. “The Decline of Marriage and Rise of New Families,” a November 2010 report by the Pew Research Center found that “63% say a gay or lesbian couple raising a child is a family.” That’s certainly less than full acceptance. But it’s still a majority of Americans.

A June 2010 Gallup survey put support for marriage equality at 52 percent. Among men it was 53 percent. And among Catholics, a stunning 62 percent. Those numbers were reconfirmed by a March 2011 Washington Post-ABC News poll that showed support for same-sex marriage at 53 percent of Americans, 53 percent of men and 63 percent of Catholics. That last percentage was a jump of 8 points since the question had been asked in February 2010.”

Capeheart’s media spasm is really aimed at attempting to minimize the truth that homosexuals can change. So he dutifully does his part to shoot it down by setting up “conservatives” as the strawman. Capeheart’s razor-thinly disguised arrogance at other people’s freewill and inalienable Constitutional rights to differ with him and other homosexual activists can be summed up with three main points:

1. All conservatives are gay-obsessed. That’s a favorite smoke bomb of those with religion du jour.  The phrase “gay obsessed” is intentionally undefined because if were, the fallacy of Capeheart’s  argument would quickly turn on him and his dear leader, the SOTUS. In fact, if you judged solely by the actions and policies and religious beliefs of Mr. #44, gay obsession would be a mild term.

2. Gays hate, hate, hate reparative therapy whether its the secular brand or the more comprehensive religious brand. We get that. You want to stay homosexual all your life to prove the point that no one can change from being homosexual. We get that. We get it that you want to ensure that all the trumped up policies and laws you have engineered based on a fallacious assumption that “sexual orientation” is immutable dont get wiped off the books by thinking people.

3.  Religion is like toilet paper. You use it only when you are trying to clean yourself up. That’s why out of 66 books with 1189 chapters and over 31,000 verses, the moderately intellectualized Capeheart has only seen two. And those are via Brent Childers of the gay religious organization Faith in America.

Romans 14:13 — Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another….
Ephesians 4:2 — Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Capeheart cited the two partial verses from Faith in America. Guess what their motto is: “Religion-based bigotry is the No. 1 impediment to equality and full human dignity…Help us end it!”  How ironic.

I dont get why anti-bible homosexuals want to make the bible gay friendly. Let’s face it, its not and it never will be. They claim King James was a “flaming homosexual” . If that is true, its really proof that God, not man controls the content of the scripture. King James could have easily excised every single mention of homosexuality in the bible, but he didnt. He left it as is.  100% of the scripture in the bible that mention of homosexuality —save one— is irreconcilably condemn homosexual behavior. So unless, they rewrite it in their own image and likeness, it will continue to be as is.

And just for the record, the “save one” is when the Apostle Paul states with flourishing joy that there were ex-homosexuals in the Corinthian church. And such were some of you.

A panel discussion featuring a live audience is set to discuss how the church is dealing with the ever-morphing issue of homosexuality. Hosted by Starr Quality TV, panel guests include Paulette Exile, Pastor DL Foster, Bishop Brehon Hall and Pastor Guy Reeves. The event is open to the public.
