When Carlton “The Heretic” Pearson was shunned by (almost) the entire Christian community when he unveiled his new found “revelation of inclusion” that you don’t have to accept Jesus Christ in order to gain access to Heaven, many thought he’d just find a corner and a few folks to spew his heresy to.
Well, old Carlton is climbing back up the mountain of “Pentecostalism” and moving closer and closer to his former popularity. Since the church is in the early stage of it’s free fall into total and complete apostasy, Carlton the Heretic is finding welcome audiences around the world who are just eating his garbage up (unrepentant homosexuals, Atheists, Unitarians, Universalists, Ecumenists, and all other manner of God’s enemies).
Well, Carlton the Heretic is moving his vipers den to a new church in Tulsa:
Pearson’s Church To Meet In All Soul’s
by: BILL SHERMAN World Religion Writer
6/14/2008 12:00 AMThe Church will host a small Pentecostal-style congregation.
Bishop Carlton Pearson’s New Dimensions church will begin meeting Sunday at All Souls Unitarian Church, bringing together a small black Pentecostal-style congregation and a large white congregation with a staid, intellectual style of worship. “It is truly historic. Nothing quite like this has ever happened before,” All Souls senior minister Marlin Lavanhar told his congregation last Sunday morning.
“And it comes at a time when it seems like our entire nation is entering a new era” . . . when “the next president of the United States may very well be African-American,” he said.
All Souls “is opening its doors, and its hearts, to a black Pentecostal preacher who has spent 25 years trying to cast demons out of this place,” he said.
“Something new is trying to burst forth in human consciousness right here in America, and right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is a new day, when Unitarians and Pentecostals, young and old, black and white, gay and straight, Democrat and Republican can all find themselves sharing a church and caring for one another and each other’s children — that’s the beloved community. That’s creating the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven,” he said in his Sunday sermon. (click here to read the entire article)
The article goes on to talk about Carlton the Heretic’s affiliation with the United Church of Christ – Jeremiah Wright’s denomination:
Despite their external differences, All Souls and New Dimensions are both liberal and progressive churches. Pearson and his church last year affiliated with the United Church of Christ, one of America’s most liberal denominations, and among the first to openly embrace gay and lesbian members and leaders.
So we can now see further confirmation of the UCC’s allegiance to heresy and false doctrine as well (especially since Wright – a UCC preacher – and his church Trinity UCC espouse the wicked false gospel of Black Liberation Theology).
Another nugget from the article:
“Both churches reflect inclusion consciousness,” Pearson said.
Lavanhar said religion should be “inclusive, liberating. That’s the good news.”
He noted that while Oral Roberts and former All Souls senior minister John Wolf often were sharply at odds, he and Pearson, representing the next generation in their respective traditions, are not.
“There’s a new trend in America, a new openness.”
So there you have it, Carlton the Heretic is taken advantage of the ignorance of the church by pushing his heretical garbage and calling it “a new trend in America, a new openess”.
While Carlton the Heretic and other enemies of God want us to think this “new consciousness” is a new phenomenon sweeping across America, thank God through Jesus Christ that the Apostle Paul warned us about this thousands of years ago:
1 Timothy 4:1-2 (New American Standard Bible)
Apostasy
1But (A)the Spirit explicitly says that (B)in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to (C)deceitful spirits and (D)doctrines of demons,
2by means of the hypocrisy of liars (E)seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,
Please please please stay away from ANYONE who claims that there are multiple paths to Heaven apart from Jesus Christ when HE HIMSELF clearly stated the contrary (John 14:6).
Your an idiot! More power to Carlton pearson and All Souls, and to the UCC denomination. The grip of the religious right in this country is finally broken. Praise God!
Theresa – why would you wish “all power” to a heretic (Pearson), a false church (All Souls), and a denomination struggling with consistently preaching sound biblical doctrine (the UCC)? Do you really mean that “all glory, honor and power belongs to God” (Revelation 4:11) and not some denomination of false teachers?
I’ve already explored the false gospel that is Black Liberation Theology so there’s no need to rehash it again. Carlton “the Heretic” and All Souls subscribe to the false gospel of inclusion. This false theology is nothing more than another swipe at the “wider mercy doctrine” – which also falsely states that God will grant salvation to anyone who has a sincere heart – without repentance and acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ – including Buddhists, Muslims, etc.
Gary Hand wrote an excellent article exhaustively detailing the false gospel of inclusion/universalism, so I suggest you read it in it’s entirety. As Hand correctively documents, Carlton believes that:
Again, I’d recommend you read the article and your bible as well so that you can see how OFF this false gospel is when compared to the infallible, irrefutable Word of God. The Word of God is succinct and crystal clear on salvation through Jesus Christ alone, specifically:
- Romans 6:23
- John 3:16
- Romans 10:9
- Acts 4:12
- 1 Timothy 2:5
- John 14:6
- John 10:9
- John 11:25
- John 3:36
- John 8:24
If believing in the Word of God (and not the insane philosophy of a heretical false teacher) makes me an idiot, then I am guilty as charged. In fact, I’m a fool too because:
Theresa, this has NOTHING to do with the “religious right” (I am a political independent) – this has EVERYTHING to do with the proper representation of the Word of God. Men like Carlton “the Heretic” Pearson and his ilk are condemning many to eternal hellfire by presenting a false gospel and an antichrist. I sincerely pray that you seek to know God through Jesus Christ – the Father of creation, not the one who is being propped up by false teachers like Carlton “the Heretic”.
Align yourself with God’s Word and not a liar who says that His Son died in vain.
WOW! WOW!!! I believe the lord has set me on the course of discovery in which has brought me here,I started searching Todd Bently which i thought was wicked but now i hear theres a NEW way to heaven! far out! Im sorry but i really feel a organized religion has gone to hell in a bucket!and the new wave of people who obviously dont read the bible and just let people TELL them there new ideas on salvation and healings. without knowledge of scripture people dont have the wisdom to recognize good from bad or God from satan .I am starting to realize this is more the norm than a fluke. But my bible does tell me about birth pains and these things must happen so although im amazed,PRAISE GOD theMiester
Barry – I understand your frustration. It’s not that “organized religion” is going to hell in a bucket – God is exposing the imposters of the faith and giving us an opportunity to either follow Him or them. Sadly, it appears that the spiritually immature have decided to follow them. Always remember, our relationship with God through Jesus Christ is more than just religion – it’s our very lifeline.
You said it correctly: “without knowledge of scripture people don’t have the wisdom to recognize good from bad”. The only way to combat the evil of this age is to stay in the Word of God and be ready to recognize AND steer people away from it.
AMEN!!!……It seems the more we tell people to read the word for themselves the less they do it. I’ve been there as well, but once you start reading your eyes are truly open and thats when you will find that people are just comfortable were they are. not knowing keeps them connected to their favorite church or pastor. After being spiritual abused at my former church for many years I left. I tried to point out to 2 of my close friends that still attend that the church is in error. one of them sees it but still there, the other is in denial because to me her alliance is with church when it should be with the Lord. She won’t be able to function without them. She has a co dependent personality. She is emotionally abused at home and at church. The other always end up with abusive men. Only the word of God can fill the void they are feeling not people. When I’m around the one that is in denial I can’t talk about the pulpit pimps of TBN, not to mention joel olsteen, because she believes without a doubt they are anointed.
I understand your frustration Keb. I have a hard time biting my tongue, so I make my thoughts clearly known regarding the various pimps, vipers, and wolves out there today – then I keep my peace. As a result, my “circle of friends” have shrunk considerably (which is how I like it anyway).
While you want to shake some sense into folks regarding the wolves that they align themselves to, the Lord’s will be done. Only He knows who the sheep are and who the goats are.
Just continue to pray for all of those lost in delusion and following false teachers (not just your friends, but those all over the world) – and ask God to give you the strength to be a TRUE witness for Him in every encounter that you have.
these are really scary times we are living in. people who claim to be ‘Christian’ actually get mad at you for reading, let alone believing and obeying the Bible. I work with a lady who says she’s a Christian yet she says she believes that all good people are going to go to heaven, whether they believe in Jesus or not. So many in the church get married divorced and remarried like they change underwear. You’ve got women teaching and having authority over men, people who come to church half dressed and with new tatoos every week. the worst a person is in church it seems the more they are respected. if you try to obey the word, people think you are being judgemental and holier than thou. let’s not even talk about all the many many many preachers and pastors getting rich off of God’s people. they all want fancy houses, cars, private jets ect, ect, ect. would Peter, Paul or any of the other apostles have lived these lavished lifestyles? I once asked this in school of ministry and everybody got mad at me. it’s even hard to be a Christian in church among ‘Christian”. May the Lord Jesus Himself have mercy and help us. these are truly perilous times. Jesus is Lord! Shalom
I agree teekaay – these are perilous times, but we were forewarned in the Word of God to expect the things that we see.
The church has become so synonymous with the world that you really can’t tell the difference. And sadly, that’s the way that church folks like it.
Just Continue to pray that the Lord’s will be done and stay in right relationship with Him
Lookie here y’all. Carlton is a new ager and he just couldn’t get big enough doin’ what he was a doin’ up in tulsa with higher d.
see, he’s an EGO MANIAC and an exploiter of souls and peoples.
when he couldn’t be the biggest and the baddest man, he went on for somethin’ new. but it ain’t really.
universalism has been around. apostacy has been around. it be one thing to show your love towards gays and lesbians, but to tell them an everyone else that you ain’t in danger of hell, is just cruel.
the man be cruel, selfish and arrogant. also the Bible does say it would be way worse for him as a false teacher and leader of the blind into damnation than for those who don’t know better.
he is taking advantage of broken souls and giving them a bandaid when they need a miracle.
he is a selfish manipulator and a real wolf in sheep’s clothing. hear me now, the man always centers almost everthin’ on himself and that there is clue.
pray for him to be stopped first and helped later.
carlton you couldn’t handle not be some maniac messiah. you got the obama’s and worse in your heart. messiah complex and contradictin’ the true Messiah. who by the way mr. apostate, taught on hell.
take your gay demons, your new age demons and be stopped, cut off and cut down in the Lord by the Holy Spirit. you replaced HIM with yourself now!
shame on you carlton. shame on you for actin’ the victim, for being a deceiver and for your wife who is way too worshippful of you and not the Lord Jesus.
why don’t you write a new Bible and take out all the scripture you don’t want to face or preach. you are only going to go off the path of your new ugly success because the grace that once sheltered you is comin’ off. but then, God is always gracious and judgment always moves to restore.
