Televangelist Gene Scott's wife Melissa, who took over his ministry after he died of cancer, was a porn star that went by the name Barbie Bridges. She blew a considerable sum from the church coffers getting those videos destroyed.

See what you did here? Now I have to research if she succeeded ....

Actually, there is very little about her story that is supported by Sola Scriptura.

[Calvin Locke]

Now she is not worried about her looks or money.

Her coordinated nails do stand out.

[Psalm 73]

"Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
Matthew 7:20

I did some googling and her pornstar website is still up. Hmmm. She may still be paying the bills with porn . . .

[sparklite2]

It seems to me that ‘sola scriptura’ has more integrity than, “We make it up as we go along.”

[Gamecock]

Or she sold all rights to her name years ago and doesn’t get a dime.

[cyclotic]

That was my exact first thought

[Hot Tabasco]

But she still shouldn’t be a “pastor.”

Why not?

[colorado tanker]

Good point.

[Wpin]

You probably need women with caked makeup and revealing clothes to think they’re beautiful. Your cynical post revealed a lot...coming to Jesus Christ changes people...what she once desired has changed to new adoration and real joy in her life. In other words...she won

[Gamecock]

Why?

[cyclotic]

If we believe in God, we must believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that it is accurate.

I Timothy 3 reviews the biblical guidelines for being an elder or Deacon. These are the pastoral leaders of the church. It reads: The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? ...

In every place, it says He or his. OK, so you could interpret that as his in the generic sense, but when it says he must be the husband of one wife, that pretty much removes all wiggle room, unless of course you’re a liberal.

Paul was also very clear that women are to remain silent in church. pretty hard to be a silent pastor, unless you’re in a deaf church and preaching with ASL.

[statered]

as opposed to say...Pope Francis? lololol

[rollo tomasi]

In this case ‘tis easy to be cynical, however Saul was overseeing the murdering of Christians by a stacked court. All this lady did was servicing an impulsive desire to get ones’ jollies off. I would cut her a lot of slack (Although would need a lot of time discerning her sermons to see if she is genuine).

[Ciaphas Cain]

I've no problem with her being a pastor. It could be worse.

Indeed, it could be much worse!

[metmom]

Well....

Fulton....

That could be interesting.

[metmom]

It’s not like that drug infested, welfare hell hole couldn’t use to heart the gospel.

[metmom]

HEAR the gospel.

[metmom]

It would be a step up for Fulton.
