What denominational background was Nathan Simmons before he went trinny? And when did he switch?
And, are you referring to the Michael Wilson who is head of Hope Cathedral COGIC in Atlanta?

Nathan Simmons was my covering in Atlanta until he went COGIC. He is born and raised in NYC and was baptised in Jesus Name and went to New Jerusalem which was an offshoot of the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ except they ordained women preachers (yet they still kept the standards and veils). Citadel stareted from a summer tent revival. 100% apostlic until Nathan needed money and fame and fortune. COGIC was willing to make him their new protege. Nathan wanted prestige and fame and he got it. Too bad it was all short lived. Again, he was my covering my entire college years down here until he flipped the script and went to COGIC. I still stayed very close to him up until his dying day. Lord I miss that Simmons. Aint none like him.
Michael Wilson pulled a Nathan Simmons stunt for fame and fortune as well as he was a member of St. John Apostolic Holiness Church until he stated Tabernacle of Hope, changed the name to Hope Cathedral as soon as Nathan died, joined COGIC and thought he was going to be the new "pope of pentecost" after he hired Ricky Dillard as minister of Music. Bishop Chandlier Owens did Citadel dirty, so they left COGIC and now are independant with wife Angelique Simmons as pastor. (Mind you, Chandlier Owens put Michael Wilson over Citadel and they all went running and it split the church).
Whatever you want to know about Apostolics gone COGIC when it comes to ATL, I know it all.
Talk about drama.
Ohhh and dont get me started on Murphy Pace and Powerhouse who was once COGIC and now is Sabbatarian, divorced his wife Lizza and she now is the pastor of El Bethel here in the Atlanta area which is 100% apostolic. The list goes on and on and on with the drama and these churches here in ATL.
So again, you see why its important to at least ask what the motives are for being COGIC while secreatly subscribing to Oneness theology.
