Preacher and gospel music figure Carlton Pearson in more theological controversy.
OKLAHOMA-based pastor and gospel music figure Carlton Pearson has drawn more criticism concerning his unorthodox beliefs. At a charismatic church leaders meeting in Tampa, Florida, Pearson spoke about unrepentant homosexuals getting into Heaven. According to an investigation published in the April issue of Charisma magazine, Pearson said he hoped gay leaders would "build silent bridges" by joining the staffs of "heterosexual churches" and gradually convincing them to accept the gay lifestyle. Another pastor told the group, "We do not believe that loving someone of the same sex in a committed, monogamous relationship is a sin." The article by Charisma's editor J Lee Grady went on to comment, "Did you ever imagine we would see a day when so-called Spirit-filled ministers would call for the open acceptance of sexual perversion? If you can't hear the alarm bell buzzing, please have your ears checked. We need to pull our heads out of the sand and recognise that the American Church is racing toward the biggest culture clash of our time."
Last year Authentic Music released the Carlton Pearson album 'Best Of
Azusa: Yet Holdin' On'. ![]()


I think that people do not have must to do but get into the business of other people and they are not showing what is happening in their own life. I feel that people should leave this man and his family alone and learn what the Most High God is saying to every one on this earth. They are being deceived by every wind of doctrine by the sneakiest men and women of earth, they lie to you about their love for you as well as rob you blind of our own self. I do know that there are ministers that are sleeping around with both men and women and are up in the pulpit preaching the things in which they can get away with in the eyes of those that want to be lied to. I say leave this man alone and let him live his life in peace, this is what I see in the life of all of those that say that they are righteous in their own eyes, and still they feel that they have to condemn others to death. How about punishing all of those that are going into other people countries and taking their oil, their land, killing the husband, wives and children for their gold and silver, lets talk about that...
