Kerry, dig deep and stop being glib. He was defrocked, because he would not give up SBN for 2 years until he was restored and when he was defrocked the AG let him go.
Yes it hurt both sides and the AG was not a saint either, because they were slow in delivering the medicine because of all the money at stake....he never left the AG, he was defrocked because he would not submit to his own denomination for restoration.
His doctrine is false...
$4 MILLION coming for people that have no clue and won't dig for themselves that his gospel has turned the cross into an idol, keeps Jesus hanging on the cross and dead and believes that the resurrection means nothing...
Try wathcing every service that swaggert preached last year for 2014 Easter Camp meeting...he himself and his boy and Lauren, Jim and all his merry men all state plainly that the cross is all it is about, we do not care about resurrection, ole Lauren even admonished people not to Worry about every reading pasrts of Romans 10.9-10, God raising him from the dead is not nearly as dear as understanding the cross...and not needed for salvation....
We will agree to disagree kerry, but check this doctrine and all his vids, he sneaks it in, when you least expect it....
If Jesus is still dead we have a problem and Swaggert keeps him dead, because it keeps his own conscience free from guilt and allows him to live in fantasy land about his own issues.
Besides, the fruit of his son, grandson and many of his preachers bears witness to immorality, pride, arrogance and fraud...
a fool and his money are soon departed
