Gospel superstar Andrae Crouch and his twin sister, Sandra, confirm meeting with Michael Jackson and praying and singing with him weeks before his death.
Jackson, raised as a member of the Jehovah's Witness sect and reportedly a convert to Islam last year, sought out the Crouches for inspiration for his upcoming tour, for which he was unprepared, according to a report in Assist News Service.
But while some blogs have reported that meeting led to a spiritual conversion by Jackson, the Crouches say they are not certain.
"Not sure where that came from," said Sandra Crouch on her Facebook page. "We loved and respected Michael and will continue to pray for his family. All the extra is not from us."
The Crouch spokesman said: "He did NOT reject Jesus or the prayer when (we) prayed, and gladly joined in prayer. He usually doesn't touch anybody, but he touched them, and held their hands in a circle as they sang and prayed. There was NO actual 'sinners prayer' however, but they did talk and pray about Jesus and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. They also told him, 'Michael, we consider you as our son,' and he said, 'Yes, yes, yes' and gave him his latest music on a CD, and he told him, 'Andrae I trust you with this,' and gave him CDs of 2 songs ... unpublished, beautiful music."

No, last I heard he was still a Muzzie.
It was Jermaine who was a Muslim...
Michael seemed to embrace all kinds of religion and spiritual advisors....Only GOD knows the heart of Michael and his acceptance of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit..
I hope he did....
Which I have little doubt the Crouches will (attempt to) sell at a huge profit....
He was surround by NoI members, Nanny, body guards, Businessmanager/dr, brother. It’s reported even his house was owned by them.
Why if he even suggested that he might leave the “religion of peace” and return to Chritianity, he’d ....well he’d........he’d end up dead.
You have no reason to attack like that.
Little boys are safer now that this whacko molestor is not in the world.
Who gives a damn what he believed!
I am more disturbed by the people obsessed with this lunatic as anything worth spending brain cycles on.
He sang and danced. Wow. I mean that is just so much more important than all the crap happening to our nation right now.
That speaks volumes about where our culture is.
Sad.
Jermaine reported that he converted MJJ while he was in Beraine.....Even changed the spelling of his name...OTOH maybe that’s why he left Beraine.
Do you have any evidence he was Muslim? If someone started to gossip that you were Muslim, should we believe it?
Well the Crouches seem to Love the Lord....
Jesus is the answer..Salvation is the way.....

I still hope and believe we have committed Christians on this sinful planet.....
Who gives a damn what he believed!
JESUS CHIRST does......
You don’t think the Arts are important? He wrote music as well.
Rush, today, made the point that OJ was DEFINATELY guilty, and got off on criminal charges due to jury nullification. (racially motivated)
However, the main witness in the MJ case was just not credible.
I can respect the legal system far more, in the case of MJ than I can with OJ.
Ya, MJ was one weird dude, but it is still a free country, and you are INNNOCENT until proven guilty.
Michael Jackson ‘converts to Islam and changes name to Mikaeel’

Yet somehow all the ads for his forthcoming London concerts were billed as ‘Michael’. And that’s what it said on his website.
I agree.....
So much hate and vile comments lately from many freepers about MJ.
Maybe a rod truly exists between Conservatives and Christian Conservatives...
His nanny is muslin, His dr/business manager is muslin, his body guards are. The house he lives in is reportedly owned and rented to him at an augmented price by the NoI.
That’s what all the controversy is about (the elephant in the room)....The family vs the Nation of Islam. If you listen to Jermain’s announcement it ended with a comment about Allah. As soon as his mother took over, that part was edited out.
Jermain said he converted his brother.
Rabbi Shumley Boteach said MJ attended Shabbat Services and participated in Jewish Holidays...
I think Michael has been on a long spiritual search, maybe that last search was finding Jesus Christ, and that is when GOD said *Okay Michael, you can come home now.....*
