Can you imagine the movement Lawson would have had if Bishop Johnson was a leader in his movement. Bishop Johnson said to Lawson, if God didnt bless his ministry, then he could say it was not of God. So God did that seperating. When Bj first started out, the first church or two that he had was taken from him. His success was through prayer, and Lawson had nothing to do with what Bishop J had. Also, Lawson was n the Days of BJ, and if Lawson was right, then he should have been able to walk away with the $500,000.oo reward that BJ offered.

Sister Perez,

We don't need to see Bishop Lawson's movement if Bishop Johnson was the head of it. We already know. There is a distinct difference between the two.
Bishop Lawson's movement is alive and well. As a matter of fact Bishop W.L. Bonner is at the helm of it.

Bishop Johnson's movement went immediatly into dissaray after his death. He had not appointed leadership. As a matter of fact, the last time I checked they were still fighting. In addition to those people, there are those have raised their own personal shrines to BJ and commence to worshipping him. There are tape players who think that God has spoken since BJ died. There are those still waiting on him to ressurect from the dead some four decades later. There are those who simply backslid because BJ was the heart of their salvation and not Jesus Christ. There are those who have restarted the same organization with the same teachings as BJ but refuse to worship together. To me that is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Anyway, to sum it up, BJ organization is a mess and has been since he died.

Although BJ preached Jesus many didn't have the scriptural foundation for themselves and are now walking in error because they refuse pastoral leadership. God didn't call anyone to pastor themselves. Sin is running rampant because they don't have a pastor (refering to situations I know about).

In other words, there is a distinct difference between what happened to Bishop Lawson's organization and what happened with Bishop Johnson's organization. So, please don't state things in a manner that said Bishop Lawson's organization would have been so much greater had BJ taken leadership. I beg to differ. God knew best.
