Bishop Long and New Birth back in the news

Secret Service and IRS investigating New Birth Missionary Baptist Church for "issues surrounding investment seminars hosted by a metro Atlanta megachurch after some former members say they lost their retirement savings."

"Ten former church members are suing New Birth and Bishop Eddie Long, saying they conspired with others to defraud them through "wealth-building" seminars and sermons."

Interesting some still attend. Imagine suing the pastor of church you still attend.

Re: Bishop Long and New Birth back in the news

There is this pastor here who believes that word/faith "your money is mine" stuff. He bilked an old man out of his home and was sued by the DA.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Surely the end must be near!! I have never seen so much evil within the pretense of Christianity as I have lately. How can people be so nieve to this stuff.

I guess preaching new revelations and going into spiritual things that no one has ever presented is charming to many.

No one likes the old, " Sinner repent and believe on Jesus" and Christian," You need to repent of those sins and live holy unto the Lord>
I better stop before I get started>/
