That I did not know. My brother went to high school with Rex Jr. Typical preacher’s son, a little on the wild side. Maybe it gives some people hope but in my humble opinion money machine televangelism, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker being the most ludicrous example - PTL may as well have stood for “Pass The Loot” - has probably led more people to close their ears to the genuine Christian message than almost anything else you can think of.
I really think Jim and Tammy Bakker started out with very good intentions, then celebrity clouded their judgment. They have both suffered the consequences of their actions - it isn’t up to me to judge them. God has a way of chastising His children.
