A Phoenix-area pastor has started to draw protesters to his congregation after he delivered a sermon titled, "Why I Hate Barack Obama," and told his parishioners that he prays for President Obama's death.

I don’t think he went in the first place, no joke.

This is the same “Pastor” that had a run in with border patrol and they beat his, um, person. His video account was posted on FR and evoked some sympathy.
What a jerk!
Exactly. No truly born-again believer in Jesus Christ should ever set foot in that church again until the pastor is removed for heresy.
A Phoenix-area pastor
Pastor of Faithful Word Baptist Church. Interesting doctrinal statement. Being explicitly non-dispensational, (but, they got a chart that sure looks like the usual engineering chart) they don't fit in the usual pigeonholes.
I've heard of this guy somewhere before.
Yes, you have.

I wonder how many parishioners have decided to follow this heresy.
