Bishop Neil Ellis To Start New Fellowship, Report Says
There's more news going on with the recent resignation of Bishop Neil Ellis and his leaving the Full Gospel Fellowship.
Apparently, some sources say Bishop Neil Ellis is planning to launch a new fellowship after serving Full Gospel Fellowship for 20 years, according to a report. We have not been able to confirm a name or information on the size and launch date, but it is assumed a fellowship is truly going to be formed, it will be a large fellowship. Bishop Neil Ellis certainly developed a great following from his tenure with Full Gospel Fellowship and we are sure it will be a great event and organization.
Bishop Ellis has been praised by supporters for bringing large numbers of delegates to conferences for FGF. He also worked tirelessly to advance the agenda of the organization.
Reportedly, there are at least eighteen churches that have already left Full Gospel since Bishop Neil Ellis announced his resignation. Some say many more are expected to do so as well.
As many of you know, Bishop Ellis was not comfortable with events surrounding the recent election and decided to resign.
Bishop Arnold Josey, a full Gospel Bahamas district Bishop until Bishop Ellis’ resignation said, “During the election, there was a certain kind of atmosphere that manifested itself, one that Bishop Ellis didn’t like and would not support. So rather than having that sort of thing continue, Bishop preferred to step back and let Walker have the post.”
Some are saying that this ‘new fellowship’ will cause major division and question the financial future of Full Gospel Fellowship though he previously stated he did not want to cause division. If this is true about Ellis starting a new fellowship, we are it is all about business and maybe some competition. Who knows for sure?
Bishop Ellis served the Full Gospel Fellowship for 20 years and has been praised by supporters for bringing large numbers of delegates to conferences. He also worked tirelessly to advance the agenda of the organization.

Preachers Removed from ATL Strip Club for Evangelizing
A preacher was removed from an Atlanta strip club last Saturday night from popular night spot 'Magic City'. He was attempting to pass out biblical materials to their customers. In fact, there were a total of five preachers who were removed from the club that night.
Rev. Kingston is known throughout the Tampa, Florida area as the 'stripper preacher' because he visits area strip clubs frequently passing out biblical material to whoever is receptive.
He claims he wanted to bring his same habits from Tampa to Atlanta because no one else is ministering in the area strip clubs.
However, Saturday night, his reputation as the 'stripper preacher' from Tampa didn't get him far with Atlanta's popular nightspot 'Magic City'.
Rev. Kingston claims he paid admission like everyone else and did nothing to draw attention to himself. In fact, he claims he 'dressed down' from his usual Sunday service attire to fit-in better with the crowd.
He stated security found out about what he was doing in their club, and they immediately surrounded him and informed him to leave. Rev. Kingston said they were aggressive and demanded he leave but told them he did nothing illegal and paid admission to attend until closing. Even though Rev.
Kingston told security there were four other ministers in the club also, he said they laughed at him insisted they would have him charged with trespassing.
Rev. Kingston said he before he left the strip club, he made sure to leave behind his 1000 Jesus flyers in the men’s room.
Rev. Kingston says he will not defer his task of saving souls in the strip clubs of Atlanta. It is something he did regularly in Florida and he will not stop evangelizing there just because of this incident. He plans to attend four other strip clubs this upcoming weekend in Atlanta.
Kenneth Copeland MInistries Now Preach Vaccinations Since Church Had Measles Outbreak
A Measles outbreak is a serious issue and it appears that the latest outbreak here in the U.S. came from a popular Texas megachurch.
Popular Pastor Kenneth Copeland's Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas is the most recent measles outbreak which shocked many people. The virus has sickened 25 people, most of whom are members or visitors of a church The church is led by the daughter of televangelist Kenneth Copeland.
According to Tarrant County Public Health spokesman Al Roy, the outbreak was started by a visitor to the church who had recently traveled to a country where measles remains common.
Health officials notified the church of the measles outbreak Aug. 14, and the church sponsored a vaccination clinic Aug. 18.
All of the school-age children infected in the Eagle Mountain outbreak were home-schooled, health officials say. Texas requires children be vaccinated before attending school.
This measles outbreak affected nine children and six adults, ranging in age from 4 months old to 44 years old. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 12 of those infected were not fully immunized against measles. The other patients have no record of being vaccinated.
The 4-month-old is too young to have been received the measles vaccine, which is typically given at 1.
There are reports that the leader of the church has a change of heart. Previously, the Founder of the church, Kenneth Copeland stated he did not believe in vaccinations because he stated it may be linked to autism in children. Now, he is singing a different tune and he's preaching the importance of getting vaccinations to his church members. Of course he would backtrack his statements because of the seriousness of his church being statistically a part of a national measles outbreak.
Robert Hayes, a spokesman for the church, stated: "We have never taken an anti-vaccine position. It has never been preached by this pulpit or put forth by our leadership."
Russell Jones, an epidemiologist with the Tarrant County Health Department, said that the church has been cooperative with public health efforts to prevent further spread of measles. Jones said that the church's clinics have already provided more than 200 measles vaccinations though he was unsure about what percentage of the congregation that represented.
In a statement on the church website, the daughter who is the pastor of the church Terri Copeland Pearsons said she was not against immunizations, but also raised concerns about them.
"Some people think I am against immunizations, but that is not true," the statement said. "Vaccinations help cut the mortality rate enormously. I believe it is wrong to be against vaccinations. The concerns we have had are primarily with very young children who have family history of autism and with bundling too many immunizations at one time. There is no indication of the autism connection with vaccinations in older children. Furthermore, the new MMR vaccination is without thimerosal (mercury), which has also been a concern to many."
This popular pastor in Nigeria had an affair with a church member and she shares her story about how he manipulated her.

Let us ask you this one question: If pastors are picking up prostitutes, then how will they get saved? Pastors cannot preach God's Word and be a 'john' at the same time. However, Pastor Carlos Feliciano obviously thought it was okay to do so.. You see, no preacher has anything to preach about if he...
Pastor Charged with Sexual Crimes on Teen Girl, also Convicted Sex Offender in His Real Name
A Houston pastor, Darryl Earl Houston has been accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl.
The good pastor has been a foster parent and his other foster children have been removed from his care.
Local investigators say the victim claims the pastor expressed how much he liked her and wanted a future with her. The 47 year old pastor is accused of sexual assault on the 14 year old teen. Allegedly, the teen told her therapist at the Children’s Assessment Center she enjoyed being with Houston because he told her they would be together in the future.
News reports states:
According to court documents, the abused teen claims the first assault happened back on April 7 when she was in the house doing chores. She claims Houston called her to a kid's TV room and began kissing her.
The teen told investigators the abuse continued throughout that month, alleging she and Houston had sex about six times.
The good pastor is showing just how conniving he really is by trying to blame the teen girl and stating she was promiscuous. After investigators gave Pastor Houston a polygraph, which determined deception on his part, was arrested and ultimately charged with three felony counts.
The pastor has an interesting past. He has been using an alias as Darryl Earl Houston. His real name is Christopher Miller from Michigan and is a convicted sex offender. Houston told the police that he never committed those crimes and was in the military when the crimes occurred.
We think this is a dumb move but the judge did not set a bond due to the 'possibility' that he may not have committed those crimes. What?! This man is a flight risk and let's not be surprised he is on the run as we speak.
CPS admitted they do not do background checks on foster parents in Texas. Double What?!!

We agree that the black church's civil rights can be good or bad.

We just want to tell you, this is the most exciting news we have heard about B. Slade, formerly known as Tonex. Many of you know, Anthony Charles Williams II came out of the closet as a gay man. Now, at Evangelist Dorinda Clark-Cole’s 15th annual “Singers, Musicians & Arts Conference”, he ...
Can you believe this has gone big time? We can. Check out the video and see how Taylor is still doing is business thing and being accused of scheming so many Christians.
Can anyone say: "I'm so surprised to hear this?" Of course not. What we can say is this: Bishop Eddie Long's dirty deeds have long been out of the closet since 2010 when the sexual misconduct case was exposed in the news. There have been several incidences and unusual deeds he's been allegedly a part of since then. This, our dear friends, is just another expose' of his greatest hits. God's not done with him yet. He has much more to expose in the Eddie Long scandal.
Saints of God, we are certainly living in a very rebellious age among some ministers whom refuse to be righteous.

Assistant Pastor Lee Harmon of the Church of God in Christ in Roxbury was viciously beaten with a hammer while on his way to bring food to his daughter and her cat.
Authorities say Harmon was suffering from “what appeared to be massive head wounds, as well as a large gash in his right lower arm,” when witnesses found him in a parking lot at 120 Clinton Street about 8:40 p.m., prosecutors said.
“Witnesses indicated they heard a crash and commotion, including breaking of glass. They then heard a verbal confrontation,” prosecutors said.
Harmon’s grandson, Jamaine Santos, 28, said Harmon was known in the neighborhood for riding his bike.
“He would find things to do,” Santos said. “Everybody knew him. He said hi to everyone.”
Harmon — whose birthday was Monday — was pronounced dead at a local hospital, and an autopsy has been scheduled to determine Harmon’s manner and cause of death. State police and Brockton police are investigating.
The 74 year old man was married for 54 years and was a kind and loving man who never had a bad thing to say about anyone and helped so many people in his community.
Suspects are still on the run and have not been identified.

Texas Pastor Disallows Women From Wearing Weaves To Church
This is an uncommon demand from a pastor but anything is possible when it comes to rules in the church whether for the congregation's good or for public drama. We are not sure if this pastor is looking for attention but let's see why he says he has banned the women in his church from wearing weaves in his church.
Pastor A.J. Aamir of Waco, TX says women in his church who wear weaves are unacceptable. As the pastor of The Resurrecting Faith church, he states weaves reflect a false image of women and promotes low self-esteem:
“Our black women are getting weaves trying to be something and someone they are not. Be real with yourself is all I’m saying” said Pastor Aamir.
Pastor Aamir was raised up in a very strict Islamic household and these are the beliefs he was grounded on. He says women should not so concerned with their appearance as they are developing their intellect and wisdom:
“Long hair don’t care. What kind of mess is that? I don’t want my members so focused on what’s on their heads and not IN their heads.”“I lead a church where our members are struggling financially. I mean really struggling. “Yet, a 26 year old mother in my church has a $300 weave on her head. NO. I will not be quiet about this.”
We have to agree with him. We think that weaves, for one is a false perception of what women really look like. Also, it ruins the entire hair shaft where complete hair loss is inevitable. We agree that some women pay too much for getting their hair done in an upward amounts of $1000. Who can really pay their bills and take care of their children when they care more about their hair than anything else? We feel there are other ways of taking care of ones hair then frivolously throwing away money that can be saved for more productive things.
We are not downing women who do spend a lot of money on their hair; to each her own. We do see why in this instance, so many women are going natural. It's better for their hair, promotes high self esteem, self-acceptance and costs less!
We are not sure how successful the pastor will be in convincing some women from wearing them. By law, he can't tell a woman not to wear a weave. We also want to say that some women say they grow hair with weaves but not sure how many really get good results from that technique.
What do you think? Is the pastor right with the points he made or should women be able to wear what they want?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ELLIS SAYS GOODBYE TO INTERNATIONAL OFFICE
Nassau, N.P. August 19, 2013 – After 20 years of committed and dedicated service to the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International, the Senior Pastor of Mount Tabor Full Gospel Baptist Church, Bishop Neil C. Ellis, formally resigned as 2nd Presiding bishop, and a member of the Bishop’s Council with immediate effect.
In a letter addressed to the International Presiding Bishop Paul S. Morton, Bishop Ellis stated, “I am satisfied, after much prayer and reflection that the Holy Spirit is now leading me to bring this season of my life in the Fellowship to a close”.
Bishop Ellis expressed gratitude, “to Almighty God for guiding my heart, hands and mind over the past 20 years as I have transitioned from role to role in our Fellowship and I wish to express gratitude to you for allowing me to serve.” He further recognized, the members of the Bishop’s Council, for the respect and cooperation extended to him particularly during the last 11 years while serving as 3rd and 2nd Presiding Bishop.
Mount Tabor’s Senior Pastor pronounced a blessing on “Bishop Morton and Lady Morton during your final years on the frontline of the Fellowship; may He be allowed to guide the hands and the work of the International Presiding Bishop-Elect and may God smile upon the future of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International.”
The decision comes on the heels of a surprise move that shocked the international and local Christian communities, this past July at the Fellowship’s international conference in Lousiville, Kentucky when Ellis pulled out of a two man race for the leadership of the Christian group in his words, “to avoid a possible division within the fellowship.” Bishop Morton will demit office in 2015.

Mt. Zion Baptist Church is one church, with three locations, offering 30+ ministries for social and economic enhancement of the Nashville community and abroad.
We wish Bishop Neil Ellis and Bishop Joseph Walker the best in their separate transitions. Bishop Paul Morton is presiding bishop of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International (FGBCFI) and is retiring from his position in 2014.

Thank God these two pastors were acquitted for standing out at a DMV in California preaching God's Word.

Here's a man who wants money away from the church while holding a position and sues his wife to get it. He's also a man who recently changed his relationship status on Facebook to 'In a Complicated Relationship' on June 23rd yet he claims he just got married on May 13th. That is very interesting, pastor.
Of course, we know there has been a recession for some time now, but there is no excuse for some pastors breaking the law. Every since many church members lack funds to give in tithes and offerings, it seems like more and more pastors are finding some way to get more money, illegally. In this case, this former pastor...
