Where is the scripture that says we should be listening only to Bishop Johnson's tapes and be pastored by a man that his been dead for more than 40 years. There are people walking around talking about everybody is false except for Bishop Johnson. So they have no living pastor and sit at home listening only to tapes. There is no scripture to support this. Bishop Johnson told his congregation to listen to his tapes until Jesus comes back. That teaching is wrong!
What about the teaching that there was gross darkness between the biblical apostles and Bishop Johnson. Johnson preached that. What are the scriptures that prove that?
I have no problem with people who support Bishop Johnson. However, there are some things that I think should be looked at more closely before digesting everything he said as gospel. Looking forward to seeing the scriptures that you have to defend Bishop Johnson's teachings.

Martha: The dress code came from
1st Timothy 2:9-13. That scripture was used as a model. The actual code was adopted by the women in leadership of the women in the church and agreed upon by Bishop Johnson. But it was Sister Green, supervisor of the women who created the specific dress code. Bishop Johnson had his own idea of how a woman professing holiness was supposed to dress and Sister Green's model was okay with him. If Sister Green had presented a less severe code, he might have okayed that too but once it was established, "all walked by the same rule." I really don't believe that Bishop Johnson believed that a modest dress of any modest length and nylon hose would send anyone to hell. He just frowned on it because it was against the established dress code and therefore was disobedience to the code.
No son of God in heaven now is scriptural, of course. Bishop Johnson NEVER preached ANYTHING that was not scriptural. If you ever heard him preach it you would have understood. Jesus Christ is God Almighty. He is Father in creation when He created all things. He was the Son of God in redemption and now Holy Ghost in the Church. Let me see if I can copy the web site that has this particular sermon preached by Bishop Johnson onto this page and you can listen to it for yourself.
