			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Yvette-Flunder.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4812" title="Yvette Flunder" src="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Yvette-Flunder-150x150.jpg" alt="Yvette Flunder" width="150" height="150" /></a>Bishop Yvette Flunder</strong> has <a href="http://www.faithinthebay.com/index.php/inspiration/84-reflections-of-bishop-walter-hawkins/347-in-loving-memory-of-bishop-walter-hawkins-from-bishop-yvette-flunder" target="_blank">released comments</a> about gospel music industry producer and singer Walter Hawkins who died last Sunday at age 61. Her comments reveal more about the private Hawkins and confirm that he was at least biblically in error at the time of his death. Unfortunately no sermons or teachings of Hawkins have been made public, but his embrace and apparent teaching of gay inclusion sullies his music legacy.  Flunder who is &#8220;married&#8221; to Hawkins&#8217; cousin <a href="http://www.charlenemoore.com/images/ShirleyMiller2.jpg" target="_blank">Shirley Miller</a> said that anyone who appreciated her progay ministry, must also pay tribute to Hawkins. And black gospel industry stars are lining up to do just that.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I received an invitation to come and preach at Love Center Church in Oakland,  and very reluctantly I went. I had not preached in years. I had planned never to  preach again, but that day God transformed my life. I joined that Sunday and the  Sunday after I met the leader of my new church family. We called him Pastor  Walt. I understood why I was led there when I heard him preach. He spoke with  passion, clarity and conviction about the extravagant Grace of God that is  greater than all of our shame and guilt. He introduced me to the doctrine of  Eternal Security that made me understand that my salvation was not fragile, and  that God was not punitive and vindictive. I realized that I was indeed justified  by faith and that I had peace with God. What a glorious revelation!</p>
<p>I recall him saying over and over, ”What shall we say to these things? If God  be for us, who can be against us?” I became progressively freer every time I  heard him. I learned to both love and affirm myself. Pastor Walt became my  friend and Brother. We talked regularly, shared vision, traveled the world and  designed ministry. He was my Biker Buddy and we spent many hours riding through  the hills of Northern California. I remember late night conversations that  turned into after church fried chicken, sweet potato pies, (he made them from  scratch), and Walt practicing his budding hair styling skills on me. I have fond  memories of sitting with him on his piano stool, watching him create brand new  music under the influence of the Holy Ghost.</p>
<p>I was blessed to know him and he was the same when we were at the ice cream  parlor and when we were at the Stellar Awards. For 10 years I served beside him  as his Assistant Pastor and as a member of The Hawkins Family. My love for the  transforming power of Gospel music grew under his direction. My call to the  Ministry of Radical Inclusivity grew out of his influence.</p>
<p>Bishop Hawkins took the courage to step into uncharted waters and to preach a  liberating Gospel that was like fresh cool water on my battered spirit. Everyone  who has ever been blessed by my ministry in any way…every church, every class,  and every organization must pay tribute to the life and ministry of this great  man. His mark is on you.</p>
<p>Bishop Walter Lee Hawkins, Walt…you were and are a giant of a man. You are  home now with the Jesus you loved and served with your whole life. May your  legacy have an even greater impact on the world than you could have imagined in  this life.</p></blockquote>
<p>Flunder as well as many of Hawkins supporters have stopped short saying  the gospel singer himself was homosexual. Highly lauded as a man who  wrote and produced music which dominated the gospel music industry and  spanned four decades, Hawkins was at the same time an advocate of the  false <a href="../4118/the-impact-of-the-false-doctrine-of-inclusion" target="_blank">inclusion doctrine</a>. Strangely,  <a href="http://www.gospelflava.com/articles/walterhawkins-discography.html" target="_blank">his songs</a> were solid in contrast to his theological  fallacy. Undoubtedly, Hawkins was a man of immense talent, but his  support of homosexuality and gay marriage is particularly troubling  despite that acknowledged talent.</p>
<p>I grew up on the Hawkins&#8217; music. It was personal and remain significant markers in my life.  I&#8217;ll never forget the first time I heard &#8220;Dear Jesus, I love you&#8221;. I sung it over and over till it felt like I wrote it myself. As a young man struggling with his sexuality, it was <em>my</em> letter to the friend that understood.  &#8220;Changed&#8221; was my anthem when I came out of homosexuality. But others like me have expressed an unusually torn feeling about Walter Hawkins perhaps unlike any other gospel singer/musician we know. His songs weren&#8217;t trashy chart topping ditties you forgot about two weeks later. Each one seemed to strike a deep chord of common experience with the listener.  But his support of something that we all know is deeply offensive to God sours the memory. How can the same fountain bring forth both bitter and sweet in such contrast?  The danger of being a castaway is something we all should consider. When its all said and done, we had better be sure that we have not run in vain.</p>
<blockquote><p>I therefore so run, but not with uncertainty; I so fight, but not as one that  beateth the air.<sup id="en-KJ21-28541"> </sup>But I keep control of  my body, and bring it into subjection, lest that by any means, when I have  preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1 Cor 9:26-27</p></blockquote>
<p>Like his <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/251/we-dont-want-another-james-cleveland" target="_blank">predecessors and some contemporaries</a>, Hawkins&#8217; legacy embodies the very best and perhaps the very worst of the gospel music industry. Hawkins is gone and whatever his eternal state is, it is already done and cannot be changed. But no one should ever mistake talent and acclaim as an indicator of right relationship with God. We can only be sure of our relationship with him  by adhering to his word and never compromising it for ourselves or anyone else.</p>

False teachers and prophets are spiritual murderers because they affect the well-being of a person’s eternal soul by leading him or her away from the Word of God.   There are two dangerous false teachings:  The Gospel of Inclusion and Pro-gay Theology.  As 1 Timothy 4:1 would put it, they are doctrine of devils and people give heed to these seducing spirits every day.  Ignatius in the 2nd century A.D. said, “I urge you…keep away from every strange plant, which is heresy.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>by shofarsound</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4810" title="carltonpearson" src="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/carltonpearson-187x250-custom.jpg" alt="carltonpearson" width="187" height="250" />False teachers and prophets are spiritual murderers because they affect the well-being of a person’s eternal soul by leading him or her away from the Word of God.   There are two dangerous false teachings:  The <a title="gospel of inclusion" href="http://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-of-inclusion.html" target="_blank">Gospel of Inclusion </a>and <a title="pro-gay theology" href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/421/gay-antinomianism" target="_blank">Pro-gay Theology</a>.  As 1 Timothy 4:1 would put it, they are doctrine of devils and people give heed to these seducing spirits every day.  Ignatius in the 2<sup>nd</sup> century A.D. said, “I urge you…keep away from every strange plant, which is heresy. These people, while pretending to be trustworthy, mix Jesus Christ with poison…I am guarding you in advance because you are very dear to me and I foresee the snares of the devil (Letters to the Trallians 6-8).” Just think of it this way: Carlton Pearson and Yvette Flunder are among those who teach these types of heresies and they are guilty of Ezekiel 3:18.  They do not act as true watchmen of God that warn the wicked of their iniquity.  They make the unsaved believe that they are really saved.  Any person who believes or follows such teaching runs the risk of eternal damnation and receiving the “second death” or separation from Jesus Christ (Revelation 2:11, 20:6, 21:8).</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4812" title="Yvette Flunder" src="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Yvette-Flunder-199x260-custom.jpg" alt="Yvette Flunder" width="199" height="260" />Just imagine a whole congregation that follows false teachings!  If they believe the teaching until their death, never receive the full revelation of the lie, and never repent for believing the lie, they are spiritually dead.  The false teacher has performed spiri­tual murder.   The congregation is deceived into believing a lie and the result is eternal death.</p>
<p>First and foremost, saints of God should always follow the Word of God over their favorite icon preacher or teacher. Deu­teronomy 13:1-4 says,</p>
<p><em>“If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him..” </em></p>
<p>Consider the following: Church folks often tell others that the prophet of the Lord told them that a check was coming in the mail because the Word said that their blessings would be pressed down, shaken together and running over.  However, the prophet who told them that didn’t line up with the Word of God.  They didn’t study.  They didn’t receive a revelation from God.  Instead, the word the prophet spoke was just some new wild revelation they received through their own flesh. The sad truth is that people eat this poison of unbiblical preaching and teaching, and will fight over what these false ministers have said as being the Truth.  Unfortunately, they are unable to see the death of false teaching in the pot ( <a title="2 Kings 4:40" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20kings%204:40&amp;version=AMP" target="_blank">2 Kings 4:40</a>). They would rather eat death than the life-giving Word of God.</p>
<p>Regrettably, people follow the voice of there favorite preacher or teacher instead of the voice of God.   Many saints today lack the discipline to search the scriptures for themselves.  They fail to make sure the person they are listening to is telling them the truth. We must be like the Bereans in Berea. Acts 17:10-11 says, “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”</p>
<p>The Bereans searched the scriptures.  As great as Paul and Silas were, they didn’t just rely on their popular reputation.  They made sure what they preached and taught lined up with the Word of God.   Please saints, don’t fall for the seduction of false doctrine.  It can literally kill you and you’ll suffer the second death as a result. Remember John 5:39 says, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they which testify of me.”  Search the scriptures for yourself!  It is your eternal soul we’re talking about here.  You only get one time around here on Earth.  The scriptures don’t suggest karma or purgatory. Carlton Pearson may not believe in Hell but that doesn’t mean that Hell isn’t a reality.  It is!  And what can be worse than Hell itself?  Being thrown into the Lake of Fire, tormented for eternity, and separated from Jesus Christ forever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gay Christian Movement Watch is seeking first hand accounts and personal narratives from several categories of individuals who have had personal experience with gay churches and religious organizations. </p>
<p>First, GCM Watch is seeking testimonials of former members or clergy of gay churches in particular: Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC), any affiliate churches of The Fellowship (Bishop Yvette Flunder), Unity Fellowship Church Movement, United Progressive Pentecostal Church (UPPC) or any independent gay church. Additionally, if you were part of an “affirming” or “inclusive” church, but left because you no longer accepted its false doctrines, please contact GCM Watch as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Secondly, if you have <em>visited</em>, but never joined a gay/affirming/inclusive church your personal narrative of that experience is also welcomed.</p>
<p>Third, if you know of someone who fits the above criteria, forward this information to them and ask them to contact GCM Watch.</p>
<p>These personal narratives help provide a balanced and truthful counter to the lies currently being promoted by gay churches about sexual morality. These organizations promise an overabundance of love, value and acceptance but what are they actually delivering to hurting and confused people? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Warning. Warning. Warning.</p>
<p>The secular media has been anointed to sanctify Tonex and his homosexual mess[age] in the eyes of the people. God wouldnt do it and church folks are still in traction about it, so the New Yorker decided to write a <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">book</span> reality show script about Anthony Williams, Jr. and his misfortunes with homosexuality, the church and his music. The church has its saints and I guess the world has to have theirs too. Even if they have to personally canonize them.</p>
<p>For short review/preview &#8212;depending on your familiarity&#8212; on Tonex you can read <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/432/tonexs-gay-church-gig">here</a>, <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/800/ex-wife-of-tonex-gay-marriage-part-of-satans-agenda" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/3380/sad-day-for-tonex" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/3401/tonex-interview-fallout-is-this-hate" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>The ironically titled <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/TONEX.pdf">&#8220;Revelations&#8221;</a>by pop culture writer Kelefa Sanneh follows Williams to his San Diego based Truth Apostolic church, studio and other erstwhile haunts so that we can all see what a major, major mistake we all made in not accepting this former gospel music industry love child. Sidebar: you might want to keep in mind that Sanneh is prohomosexual, so bias is practically enshrined in the piece.  That&#8217;s how they do that.</p>
<p>Its a long, winding, yellow brick road that leads back to nowhere.</p>
<p>If you care to read, polish up your shield of faith, make sure you get extra buttery popcorn and put your phone on mute.  The overload has begun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Donnie McClurkin&#8217;s <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/3763/donnie-mcclurkin-unleashes-at-cogic-convocation">raw, unscriptred, out the box message</a> to COGIC youth about homosexuality earlier this month in Memphis is still reverberating around the country. Some folks are jumping up and applauding while others are jumping up with stones in hand.</p>
<p>The <strong>Rev. Irene Monroe</strong>, a gcm activist took the message as an occasion to announce that COGIC is a &#8220;gay church&#8221; [<a href="http://www.clgs.org/blog/commentary/pastor-donnie-mcclurkins-gay-church" target="_blank">source</a>]. I&#8217;d never heard that analogy before, but any thinking person knows that COGIC &#8212;no matter what they say&#8212; has its fair share of current and past homosexuals.</p>
<p>But as is the case with many on the pro-homosexual church gaggle, their complaints generally amount to a strange mix of condemnation and boomerang angst. Monroe calls McClurkin &#8220;the African American poster boy of exgay ministries.&#8221; That&#8217;s just a face value lie. McClurkin has never been involved with any &#8220;exgay&#8221; ministry let alone stumped for them. And even if he were, it doesn&#8217;t change the fact that homosexuality is not of God and McClurkin was right  to call for those dealing with it to repent.</p>
<p>Writes Monroe (who probably had never heard of COGIC prior to this) :</p>
<blockquote><p>With many of the gospel music industry mega-stars from COGIC, the church&#8217;s charismatic worship style shouts to a black gay male queer gospel aesthetic every Sunday. And the church is conflicted with itself.</p>
<p>Unfortuantely [sic], these black gay male mega-stars are always forced to go back into the closet denouncing publicly their sexual orientation at the church&#8217;s annual convocation.</p></blockquote>
<p>Monroe&#8217;s oversimplified solutions have never worked, unless one aspires to be a reprobate. Sadly, that&#8217;s about all she and the gay christian movement have to offer. She also cites lesbian bishop Yvette Flunder, whose uncle is COGIC general board member <a href="http://www.ca-northwest.org/" target="_blank">Wilbur W. Hamilton</a>. Flunder allegedly wrote an &#8220;open letter&#8221; decrying McClurkin&#8217;s sermon.</p>
<blockquote><p>In an open letter to the Convocation, Bishop Yvette Flunder, an out lesbian who is a third generation preacher with roots in the Church of God in Christ, licensed in the COGIC, and is now the Presiding Bishop of The Fellowship and Senior Pastor, City of Refuge United Church of Christ, wrote the following:</p>
<p>“I watched a clip of Pastor Donnie McClurkin at the COGIC Convocation Nov 11, 2009 where he used the words perversion and vampirism in reference to feminine young men and &#8216;evil&#8217; butch young ladies. He suggested that the church had failed them and not been active enough in helping these young people find deliverance. He ranted against gospel artist and pastor Tonéx with regard to Tonéx&#8217;s recent affirmation of his own same gender orientation.”</p>
<p>Pastor Donnie knows like I know that Tonéx is more the &#8216;rule&#8217; than the exception to the rule. What makes Tonéx unique is not that he is a Gay gospel music artist and Pastor but that he told the truth about his sexuality, while not claiming to be delivered,”</p></blockquote>
<p>Sure, Tonex told &#8220;the truth&#8221;. Funny how these people conveniently redefine terms to fit their worldview. How is Tonex &#8220;the rule&#8221; and at the same time &#8220;unique&#8221;?</p>
<p>Monroe generously quoted from <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/970/yahoo-gay-ministers-group-founded-by-cogic-elder" target="_blank">a GCM Watch story</a> (sans attribution) to make her point about COGIC&#8217;s uneasy dance with homosexuality.</p>
<blockquote><p>For example, “blaquebigayministers” is a Yahoo gay ministers group, boasting 787 members since July 2000 and was founded by COGIC Elder Ronald Kimbrew.  Kimbrew served as the Arkansas 1st Jurisdiction as the Assistant Secretary of the Pastors &amp; Elders Council of COGIC from December 1996 to March 19, 2005 and his now the Public Relations Director at Greater Trinity, a COGIC congregation in Arkansas.</p>
<p>The “blaquebigayministers” website states the following:</p>
<p>“WELCOME. This fellowship is for support and encouragement especially of black Christian ministers and friends who are &#8216;family&#8217; (bi or same-gender loving) and need a place of refuge. Enjoy the &#8216;fellowship.&#8217;</p>
<p>Kimbrew organized meetings of bisexual and same-gender loving COGIC ministers for most of the national meetings like Memphis Holy Convocation that McClurkin now denounces but use to take part in.</p>
<p>A reported following the Convocation asked “Is COGIC going to be silent while an organized culture of homosexual ministers and bishops populate its pulpits?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The issue isnt whether or not COGIC has homosexual members and leaders. The issue is whether or not the organization will cease it selective dont ask, dont tell policy and establish real ministry for those struggling with the issue. Not everybody in church struggling with homosexuality wants to be gay, but when their painful struggles are ignored and minimized or manipulated for their talents, false prophets like Flunder start looking like good alternatives.</p>

If there&#8217;s one thing that&#8217;s good about the appearances of Yvette Flunder it is that she is helping to identify these closet homosexual churches. That helps people who are sincere about their walk with the Lord to avoid these houses of ill repute like a plague.</p>
<p>The church&#8217;s pastor,  Charles G. Hayes aka &#8220;Father Hayes&#8221; has been a fixture in the gospel music industry since the early sixties.</p>
<p>A Chicago pastor  told GCM Watch, &#8220;Cosmopolitan is a church that has been around for years. The pastor is Charles Hayes, who has lived with a[nother] man for decades openly. Also, although its not necessarily taught, his church is based upon his choir and the choir is literally full of homosexuals, who in my estimation of things have no motivation or reason to want to repent. His church attracts (during musical events) some of the more prominent &#8216;christian&#8217; homosexuals from the city, and the older &#8216;homosexual&#8217; pastors in the city with similar congregations really respect him. His messages are very typical sometime borderline witchcraft.&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s exactly what all the  church and choir <a href="http://www.breathecast.com/Christian.Music.Artist-Cosmopolitan.Church.Choir/Profile-483.htm" target="_blank">profiles</a> point to.  A religious organization based on sensationalist gospel music devoid of any true connection with Christ or his Word.  &#8220;The Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir has recorded thirty albums and five  single 45s over the past 40 years. Out of the thirty albums, one went GOLD  (over 50,000 copies sold), and the others made the No. 1 spot on the charts  around the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>As with much of what passes for &#8220;anointing&#8221; these days, we would do well to be reminded that  &#8220;the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Romans  11:29). What that means is that what God has given humanity in the form of talent and ability is irrevocable i.e. it cannot be changed. It also means that although God is the giver of the gifts, it requires no relationship with God, neither is it an indicator of relationship with God.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the danger? People who live on gifts and a &#8220;form of godliness&#8221; but never  submit themselves to the Giver now, will be locked out of the possibility of relationship with him eternally.  We&#8217;re not left in the dark about the consequences of that either.</p>
<blockquote><p><span><a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/7-21.htm"><strong> </strong></a></span>“Not everyone who  says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does  the will of my Father who is in heaven. <span><a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/7-22.htm"><strong></strong></a></span>Many will say to me  on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name  drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ <span><a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/7-23.htm"><strong></strong></a></span>Then I will tell  them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Matthew 7:21-23 NIV</p></blockquote>
<p>You can add &#8220;sangin&#8217; in your name&#8221; to that list too.</p>
<p><strong> Is this something Jesus worked out?</strong></p>
<p>The church is mostly known for its gospel song &#8220;Jesus can work it out&#8221;.  You can see Hayes and his choir demonstrating the latest churchified club moves as they sing their signature song. Sorry its so long. Watch as much as you can stomach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>Like most of the religious talking heads on the gabfest market, the Lexi Show, now in its fourth season, isn&#8217;t helping to promote biblical standards on sexuality. Its not exactly tearing them down either, just making them <em>de minimis</em>, of minor importance.</p>
<p>Have you wondered why <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/leximaineimage.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3484" title="leximaineimage" src="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/leximaineimage.jpg" alt="leximaineimage" width="169" height="354" /></a>Lexi was parading all the gay false prophets onto her show while claiming to be a &#8220;journalist&#8221; with an obligation to give fair hearing to everyone&#8217;s voice. Incidentally, Lexi has not had any actual journalistic training.</p>
<p>After the now<a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/3380/sad-day-for-tonex" target="_blank"> infamous Lexi interview</a> 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 <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/304/diaprax-collusion-and-emergent-heresy-part-1" target="_blank">black emergent church</a>.</p>
<p>During Lexi&#8217;s interview with Tonex, her demeanor was receptive, cordial and passive. Her questions to Williams were silver platter &#8220;softballs&#8221;  with shallow (if any) followup to his excessive lies and faulty logic.</p>
<p>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 <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">con artists</span> former guests Bishop Yvette Flunder and Carlton Pearson. By the way all the <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/2181/false-prophet-carlton-pearsons-doctrinal-vomit#" target="_blank">Carlton Pearson videos</a> have been removed by the Lexi Show.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s bias was on blazing display. Gone were any  pretensions of being professional, a journalist, etc. She was openly hostile to Smith [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf-bZpyGJiM" target="_blank">watch video of her facial expressions</a>] and those who accompanied him. She even took time to attack members of Smith&#8217;s church for not participating in her &#8220;worship&#8221; service. Lexi was snide, sarcastic and combative with Smith but called Tonex her brother in the Lord who she was obligated to &#8220;love&#8221;.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>The Lexi Show has an unspoken agenda to desensitize us to these false prophets and their heresy. The issue isn&#8217;t having them on, the issue is allowing them to be there with no sound &#8212;and comparable&#8212; counteraction to their doctrinal vomit. Further, that she still considers them &#8220;brothers and sisters&#8221; in Christ, despite the fact these people actively and openly fight<em> against </em>the Word of the Lord is reprehensible.</p>
<p>At the end of the Tonex episode, she attaches a (sort of) disclaimer. But its an interestingly crafted statement.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;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.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Although she said that she believes in heterosexuality, its important to note she neglects to condemn homosexuality.</p>
<p>You can check Lexi&#8217;s videos and you wont see gushing &#8220;I must love everyone&#8221; disclaimers on anyone else. Why this one?</p>
<p><strong>Behind the scenes with Lexi</strong></p>
<p>The major unseen problem with people like Lexi is that they generally have someone in their inner circles who are homosexual and don&#8217;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&#8217;s coded with their downlow sin (Tonex confirmed that too).</p>
<p>Behind Lexi&#8217;s scenes is <strong>Vaughn Alvarez</strong>.  You&#8217;ll see his name in the credits of her show.  He&#8217;s Lexi&#8217;s assistant, public relations rep, webmaster <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/alvarez.JPG"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3490" title="alvarez" src="http://www.gcmwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/alvarez-150x150.jpg" alt="alvarez" width="150" height="150" /></a>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.</p>
<p>Alvarez&#8217;s<a href="http://twitter.com/goVaughn" target="_blank"> twitter page</a> is a good indicator of where he falls on the issue of homosexuality and the bible.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Alvarez, Sep 10</strong>: &#8220;VOGUE EVOLUTION 4EVER BABY!!!!!!!&#8221; (Vogue Evolution is a <a href="http://www.muchmusic.com/tv/americas_best_dance_crew4/images/vogue-evolution.jpg" target="_blank">group of homosexual dancers</a> plus a transvestite). <span> </span></p>
<p><span><strong>Alvarex, Sep 13:</strong> &#8220;People r just not ready to  accept the truths about the way church is. That&#8217;s why I stay far away from  church queens and overly church peeps!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span><span><strong>Alvarez, Sep 12</strong>: &#8220;The truth sets us free! I love Tonex  for being free &amp; being comfortable being the wonderful human God made him.&#8221; </span></span></p></blockquote>
<p>Alavrez&#8217;s twitters invites his gay friends to call him to contact Lexi.</p>
<p>But others do not get such a  enthusiastic and inviting welcome.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s &#8220;assistant&#8221;. 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 <em>first</em> 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.</p>
<p>But  after she received no response, Carter called back. This time Alvarez &#8220;had a nasty attitude and was dismissive with me&#8221; . When Carter asked if he had read the testimony he told her to send him, Alvarez told her&#8221; we&#8217;ve already heard those types of testimonies before.&#8221;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s involvement. Further, the guest said that Lexi seemed only interested in a certain sensational part of the guest&#8217;s story.</p>

Christocentric who&#8217;s engaged Tonex several occasions on her blog <a href="http://blog.christocentric.com/2009/09/09/gospel-singer-tonex-admits-to-being-gay/" target="_blank">also covers with video</a>.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s plenty about his steadily failing nature  in blogdom, but I wanted to address several  problems with Tonex&#8217;s ideology.</p>
<p>I am sad to have to echo Christocentric&#8217;s  conclusion: Tonex has officially become reprobate.  Like false prophets Yvette Flunder and Carlton Pearson before him, he has rejected God&#8217;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.</p>
<p><strong>(1) Tonex says he was molested, but doesnt affix the molestation to his homosexuality.</strong></p>
<p>True, while molestation is not <strong>the</strong> 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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Then there is this whole new handily redefined virtue of &#8220;honesty&#8221;. 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&#8230; 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</p>
<p>Adopting the world&#8217;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&#8217;s actions are sinful and offensive to God. Tonex did not do that.</p>
<p><strong>(2) Tonex says he believe[s] that &#8220;God doesn’t honor promiscuity in either hetero or homosexual lifestyles – same gender loving.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>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&#8217;t give, sanction, suggest, imply nor provide Adam any sexual attraction to another man. What he created, he declared &#8220;good&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>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 <em>become</em> holy.  Fornication is a sin, but a man and a woman&#8217;s sexual act bears <em>resemblance</em> to the Creator&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s seed in another man is death, but a man&#8217;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 <em>is</em> and gives life.</p>
<p><strong>(3) Tonex thinks &#8220;safe sex&#8221; and so-called gay monogamy are more important than obedience to the will of God.</strong></p>
<p>It is said that Solomon was an extremely wise man, and he said: &#8220;there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death&#8221; (Prov 16:25). If that&#8217;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 <strong>one time</strong> 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<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/14/AR2009031402176.html?hpid=moreheadlines" target="_self"> 3 percent of black gay men in DC are infected with HIV</a>!  But their spiritual blindness prevents them from seeing the danger of their actions and consequently the numbers continue to escalate. Safe sex indeed.</p>
<p>Tonex should know practicing sin is never safe (John 10:10). That&#8217;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.</p>
<p><strong>(4) Finally, Tonex is a false pastor.</strong> He says &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>If Tonex were a true pastor he would represent the type of Pastor GOD said HE would give the people.</p>
<blockquote><p>Turn, O backsliding children,&#8217; 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.&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>Thus, a true pastor from God feeds the people with knowledge and understanding of God&#8217;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&#8217;t familiar with God at all. For the eyes of the Lord are in <em>every place</em> (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&#8217;s sight.</p>
<p>It is a sad day for Tonex and for anyone following him into hell.</p>

The Human Rights Campaign, the nation&#8217;s largest homosexual rights organization, issued a &#8220;Clergy Call&#8221; May 4-5 in the nation&#8217;s capital.</p>
<p><strong>Slow and methodical, deception creeps forward</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be deceived, satan is methodically working to usurp power in the earth through  three avenues headed by three powers.</p>
<p>1. <strong>The beast</strong> &#8211; a consolidated one world government or political system.  The beast has significance because he is described as the &#8220;lawless&#8221; one. Not only does he revel in breaking God&#8217;s laws, but will make new laws which will criminalize any action previously in agreement with God&#8217;s law. In this context, the UN is our foremost example of the scope and power of this conduct.</p>
<p>2. <strong>The antichrist</strong> &#8211; a false christ equipped with lying signs and wonders. His physical identity will not be revealed until after the church is raptured. But spiritually, he is influencing nations, people and cultures as we speak  (2 Thess 2:1-7).</p>
<p>3. <strong>The false prophet</strong> &#8211; the mouthpiece of a single,  state controlled false religion comprised of diverse religious beliefs. This was chillingly played out by the union of world religions which pledged to a &#8220;Faith in Human Rights Statement&#8221;. We reported on that <a href="http://gcmwatch.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/bishop-charles-blake/" target="_blank">here</a>. The false prophet&#8217;s mission is to coerce men to follow the antichrist. Initially, this is accomplished through agreeing to false unity, programs and events which glorify human achievement while quietly minimizing God&#8217;s authority.</p>
<p>These three will attempt to dominate every facet of human existence from currency to church and everything in between. In fact, Revelation tells us that under their brief but murderous reign &#8220;no one will be able to buy or sell&#8221; without having the sign of the beast ( the consolidated government) visible in their forehead. The best foreshadowing of this is the WW II Nazi requirement that European Jewry wear the star of David in public. If you will study the origin, deployment and execution of the Nazis death and domination agenda, you&#8217;ll see stunning parallels of what is to come.</p>
<p>The antichrist is the key to satan&#8217;s attempted final solution to murder the righteous and enthrone himself in Jerusalem as king. The other two are stepping stones deployed to (1) deceive the world and (2) control the world, in that order. Premeditated deception is crucial to unrestrained dominance.</p>
<p>Its no accident that religion will be the primary portal and device of deception. What we are witnessing right now in this country and on the world scene is <strong>phase one</strong> of satan&#8217;s plan. Deception takes time to cultivate. Like a viper waiting for the precise moment to strike its prey, satan is preconditioning people to accept false religion and rid themselves of  &#8220;intolerant, bigoted, hateful&#8221; people (and the bible) who stand in the way of unrestricted sexual immorality and other brazen sins.  But to hastily remove such people through acts of violence would prematurely betray his real intentions.</p>
<p><strong>Can God get  a couple of witnesses?</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s why God&#8217;s truthtellers and witnesses are so despised today. We won&#8217;t get with the program. We won&#8217;t praise the false ministers who are doing &#8220;good deeds&#8221;. We won&#8217;t dance to the beat of the idolatrous music piped into the churches today. We&#8217;re in the way of &#8220;progress&#8221;. We are stumbling blocks and unwanted road signs. Yet, we&#8217;ve been commissioned by God to document and warn. We have been called to cry aloud and speak out boldly even at the risk of losing our own lives and well being (Rev 12:11). There is a purpose in this. The scriptures tell us something powerful about witnesses.</p>
<p>1. God will not do anything until he first reveals it unto his prophets who in turn are to speak what he has revealed (Amos 3:7). Its also important to know that &#8220;his prophets&#8221; are not just anybody with a white clergy collar around their necks, but those who walk in agreement with God&#8217;s word (Amos 3:3).</p>
<p>2. Anything that God does, is not without witnesses. By the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every thing be established. Witnesses are essential to justice and judgment. When the judgment of God falls, it will be his witnesses who will attest that he is  just in his destruction of the wicked and his punishment of the disobedient. Eyes in heaven (angels) and eyes in the earth (saints) are on duty recording, reporting and warning that God will not strive with man always.  When the wicked reached their fullness, God will call heaven and earth against them as witnesses and then release full, merciless vengeance on them (Duet 30:19).</p>
<p>3. Although people will for the most part reject God&#8217;s warnings, laugh and mock, we are required to speak without fail. We are witnesses and that&#8217;s what we do. Perhaps now seeing what we see, we should interpret <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%201:8&amp;version=9;" target="_blank">Acts 1:8</a> with a duality of meaning beyond just evangelism.</p>
<p>4. Satan parodied the witness principle in the illegal trial of Christ.  Two false witnesses were called in the night to lie on Jesus (Mt 26:60). Based on their lies, the Sanhedrin falsely convicted Christ of blasphemy. To counteract the lie, God spoke to Pilate&#8217;s wife and told Pilate he was innocent.</p>
<p><strong>The  Call of the Frog<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The aforementioned needed to be explained so that you understand what the Human Rights Campaign&#8217;s &#8220;clergy call&#8221; represents. God is showing us something and it is a marker of what is to come. The Clergy Call event is wholly controlled by a <strong>political organization</strong> which happens to be a<em> homosexual </em>political organization. If you look at the <a href="http://www.hrc.org/issues/religion/12294.htm" target="_blank">list of speakers</a> you&#8217;ll see the false, one world church represented and arrayed in all of its darkness. Mystics, christians, buddhists, muslims, jews and secular humanists united in one goal to destroy God&#8217;s law of sexual morality.</p>
<p>Note that in Revelation 16:13 the false prophet is possessed by an &#8220;unclean spirit&#8221;  like frogs which John sees coming out of him. One of the characteristics frogs are most noticeable by is the distinctive sound of their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, especially during its <strong>mating season</strong>. Thus, John&#8217;s exposure of the false prophet&#8217;s frog spirit is one who seeks to seduce the church with its voice, particularly during a certain season when the frog&#8217;s lies are most fertile. This is why we are only to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. All other voices are demons in mating heat.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t been convinced that any support or affirmation of this demonic inspired movement is wrong, think again. You just might have already been deceived.</p>
