Bishop SC Johnson

Everyone here seems to be well educated in the UPCI. I was wondering has anyone heard of Bishop SC Johnson and his apostolic teachings. He is considered one the main pioneers among apostolics in the African American community. If you know about him and his teachings, please share what you know. I am sure Bro. Sam knows about this gentleman. We have discussed him before.

Yes, he is well versed in apostolic history.

I think there was a thread about him here at one time.

Not sure how you'd find it though

I did not know him personally but I've been to his church. I know his teachings. Though stout oneness, he believed if you were saved that you had to hear the gospel from his mouth.

Had other weird ideas too such as his ideas on marriage.

Thank you.

I used to love hearing the "Whole Truth Broadcast," eminating from the sanctuary of the Apostolic Square at 25th and Bainbridge Streets in the heart of downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the world's largest Apostolic Sanctuary.

He was so anointed in his preaching...thought totally messed up on some of his weird doctrines.

He preached that if you divorced you wife and married another, you could not be saved. Even if the woman that you divorced was now married to another man, she is still your wife. If you are going to be have a wife at all, you had to reconcile to your first wife and remarry the woman. To have another wife, regardless of the circumstances, you were going as straight to hell as a Martin to his gourd.

But, I dearly loved the man for one reason...he was probably the stoutest, most profound, absolute messenger of the One God message as there ever was, rivaled by only one man...G.A. Mangun. Bishop Mangun greatly loved him too, for that one reason. I remember when S.C. Johnson died unexpectedly down in Jamaica, it greatly disturbed brother Mangun. He grieved over his loss for a while. Never a stouter preacher of this GREAT, GREAT ONE GOD MESSAGE.

Preachers...if you want the anointing to return. PREACH IT! I heard one reknown preacher among us respond to a saint that wanted to hear that preaching, "Well, is there anything about the Oneness that you don't understand?" The reknown preacher missed the point. The point is; God is in the message. God comes down and visits among the people during the preaching among those who receive it. It is the highest order of preaching there is, for there is no god but the Lord God, who is above all.

Well, preaching that message very much, you might set up an earthquake or two, but keep preaching it until everything that can be shaken is shaken until that which cannot be shaken is firmly fixed to the rock...Christ Jesus. It'll work. I once thought that G. A. Mangun has totally lost his ever-loving-mind. All he could preach for weeks on end was ONE GOD. Wow! Did it ever have its affect! That old church on 16th and Day streets just off Bolton avenue was visited with a white hot, twisting pillar of fire that lasted for many years. People were slain. People were healed. The power and the glory of the Lord was mightly manifested. Some people who have walked though the doors for the first time, have falled to the floor from the lingering afterglow of God's presence there. Those old timers, including ME, will never, never forget it.

Some wonder why I lament and weep! OH GOD! If they only knew.

Elder this is a wonderfully beautiful post.

The Lord bless you and your family in a great way.

You're a precious Brother. The One GOD message of the mighty God in Christ and the power of His NAME are still what revival is made of.

The Lord bless your heart.

Indeed.

The mightiest of God's warrior angels are in attendance at the preaching of THAT particular message. Those warrior angels overshadow with their wings and guard His Glory, much like the Cherubs that overshadow the mercy seat, as in guarding the glory of God.

It is waaaaaay past time that our preaching should set up some earthquakes. The first commandment (Thou shalt have no other gods before me) was given in the presence of fire, smoke, shaking earthquake, ever increasing sound of trumpes, the roar of thunder, and thick clouds of the glory of God, in fear and in trembling. "Hear O Isreal, the Lord our God is ONE Lord."

God will not fail to send his MIGHTIES angels at the preaching of ONE GOD, to overshadow HIS WORD. We've heard every kind of preaching in the world from Daniel in the Lion's den to poor ol' Job and his arnery wife, all in the effort to make it relevant to our lives today but fail to understand that the affect of preaching the central message of all: One Lord, One Faith, One baptism...yes ONE GOD...

Preaching that one message can straighten out in one Holy Ghost saturated night what endless preaching from bible stories can do in trying to make them applicable to today's screwed up minds and lives.

We pray, "Send the fire, Oh God." But there is no fire. Yet Elijah mocks us to cry a little louder. Maybe is on a trip and will not return for awhile. The name "Elijah" means "Jehovah is my God." All else is idolatory. The preaching of ONE GOD will shake both heaven an hell and straighten up every screwed up mind, tangled up life, upside down pervert. It will humble the high places. It will exalt the valleys. It will straighten the path. It will bring light to darkness. It will bring vicotry, joy and glory in the presence of the saints of God who also love its great, great truth of who Jesus is and the power of His great, great name.

I am "under" Bishop S. C. Johnson. What weird ideas of marriage? I know his stand on it.

Hello Warrior. I see you still have your qualms about Bishop Johnson. *chuckles*
