Stan Mitchell's Church Gay Inclusive?
That was a time when, as Mitchell, 46, explains, the position of the church on marriage was classically evangelical. People who were not heterosexual could be members, but they could not serve on the board, lead worship or other church groups. They could be baptized and receive communion, but they could not be married or have their children dedicated.....
With those words, GracePointe became one of the first evangelical megachurches in the country to openly stand for full equality and inclusion of the LGBTQ community, along with EastLake Community Church near Seattle. The results of the conversation, he told his congregation, were not unanimous or exhaustive, but they were sufficient.

Re: Stan Mitchell's Church Gay Inclusive?
No surprise here. Some years ago, maybe four or five or more, Stan was the guest preacher at a gay Pentecostal church in Arkansas. I had a hard time believing it at the time but there was a picture of Stan and his wife with the pastor and his "husband" of that church as well as information about the meeting on the internet at the time.
I personally know people who have left Stan's church over the gay issue but I am sure his position will appeal to many who don't know the bible and want to follow our culture down the toilet.

On that point you are wrong. He has the opposite problem or at least did. Too much attraction to the opposite sex.

Brother you watch, old Stan is going to get real comfortable with his new brothers. He had a problem with sleeping with the sheep, when sex addicts go this way, they end up with a ram.
Maybe a few?

It's a spirit from hell that he has INVITED into his life and he will pay in this life.
