They know the homos have more money to drop in their offering plates. Another “religious” group sells their souls to the Devil.
The first horseman is riding a white horse. He has a bow, but no arrow. He is shooting blanks. His gospel is false.
Good example how heresy is a direct path to decadence.
I presume this “church” stands ready to recognize the “equality” of my “marriage” to my car.
GaysPointe “Church.”
In the end, this is all about $$$.
In the end, it’s all about money.
Does this so-called church prefer to delete certain verses from the Bible?
I call this a “wide gate” church.
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Baptism after all requires repentance and evidently Grace Point never believed homosexuals had anything to repent of.
No surprise they should continue their slide further into fully welcoming homosexuals into leadership and possibly pastoral roles?
I hope they are consistent and support polygamous and poly-amorous relationships as well. The the goal will be reached of marriage = nothing/everything.
To the headline: then it’s not an evangelical church
This Church like many other congregations in post-Christian America, are just doing what they can to help Satan acheive his satanic goal.
Yep. The "pastor" is clearly against the Bible. His "journey" is what is his guiding principle.
newline: Most evangelical churchs give in to Hitler’s demands . . Dietrich Bonhoeffer Executed.
” Born into a five-generation, classical Pentecostal family, my perspective on God and spirituality has widened considerably into a more inclusive vision; one which embraces the liturgical, evangelical and charismatic streams of the Christian Church. While I am “tribally” a 21st century, evangelical minister, I have a heart to see the historical, contemporary and future manifestations of the Church converge, truly informed and benefited one by the other.”

The church’s home page describes itself as
“Loving God | Loving Self | Loving Others”
“We experience God through creation, tradition, reason, scripture and the every-day moments of life. We believe in the liberty of individual conscience, the call of every person to live out their own journey, and the responsibility of each of us to be the express image of God in the world.
God loves us immensely and is not to be feared. At GracePointe we believe that Jesus’ life, death and resurrection teach us who we are – the beloved children of God. We love God best when we fulfill our lives’ purpose of loving ourselves and others.
If you have ever wondered if you belong, we’ve all wondered that. Our Church expresses its love in the radical hospitality of Jesus – welcoming all persons into our midst, without regard to race, age, gender, sexual orientation, or physical abilities. You are part of the human family and thus our family, God’s family. So welcome to GracePointe Church.”

So this is NOT an Evangelical Church.
“GracePointe exists to provide a safe place to better understand and experience God’s love and full acceptance of us, as we are, and His commitment to the process of making us whole in Christ.”
God loves us where we are, but not AS WE ARE.
God demands repentance. Until we repent, we are children of wrath. We become sons of God in Christ, but we are not all the sons of God.
This is a church that has rejected the Gospel: REPENT and BELIEVE. It rejects both.
The history of mankind is a history of people making God what they want Him to be, not what He is. This is just another one.
This is only logical. Any “church” that sanctions divorce and contraception has long ago surrendered to the same error: that (for them) marriage is no more that a license for sexual access, with satisfaction of the principals being the only point.
