A Lesson from a Fallen Charasmatic

March 23rd, 2006 by Carl Thomas.

We all have issues, me especially.  So I am not one to thump other believers on the head.  But when a prominent leader falls into false doctrine we should all learn from what happened so that we can avoid the same fate.  Yes, there are plenty of biblical examples but we do not seem to learn from them.

This all brings me to Carlton Pearson.  I remember when I was engaged, I would lay on the floor and listen to a song of his on repeat that had a lyric that went,

Well if you don’t believe that I been redeemed
You know
(the angels in heaven done signed my name)
This is what I want you to do
Follow me down down down down down to the Jordan stream you know that
(the angel in heaven have signed my name)
Good God
I know I been changed
Do I have a witness in here tonite
That know you been changed
I know I’ve been changed
The angels in heaven done signed my name

If you don’t don’t don’t believe that I been redeemed
You know that the angels in heaven done signed my name
Don’t look at me funny
Follow me down to the Jordan stream
You know the angels in heaven done signed my name

The song spoke of the wonderful experience that happens when we go from children of darkness to children of light.  Mr. Pearson has had a change of heart recently and has swallowed some wacky theology.  Lots has already been written about it but I would like to point you to an article at Rich’s blogrodent.  Very lengthy article by him and an even more interesting exchange in the comment section by some who were in attendance in both the COGIC and Mr. Pearson’s church.
