MEET THE ASSISTANT PASTOR TO JAY BAKKER OF REVOLUTION CHURCH NYC
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jun 15, 2009 in Current Issues, Emergence Christianity, Emergent Church, Jay Bakker
DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA!
Of the Reverend Vince Anderson, seen below performing “Amazing Grace,” we’re told that sometime after he “received the call of God,” Anderson “knew he was meant to minister”. Then after spending three months at Union Seminary in NYC it would seem that Anderson:
felt that God was calling him to minister in bars and taverns… After a brief stay with the Universal Life Church, the Reverend soon started his own church; THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY UNRULY SPIRIT OF GOD IN CHRIST.
In 2007 the Rev. Vince met Jay Baker, the son of Jim and Tammy Faye Baker. The two became friends, sharing ideas of inclusiveness and being transparent. The Reverend was asked by Jay to be his assistant pastor and was switched his ordination to the Revolution Church. (Online source)
You can listen to Anderson’s sermon What Would Judas Do? from yesterday at Revolution Church, where Jay Bakker is pastor and they’re “sorry for being self-righteous judgmental bastards”, at Viva la Revolution: The Official RevolutionNYC Staff Blog by clicking here.
Note that Anderson even begins his message by recommending the work of Peter Rollins, who is set to speak for his friend Emergence Christianity icon Rob Bell at his upcoming pastor’s conference as you can see in the Apprising Ministries article People-Pleasing Poets, Prophets And Preachers Peter Rollins With Rob Bell.
Those who are interested in proper Biblical Christianity and how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is, not so subtly, being altered among young evangelicals will find this most enlightening. I tell you in the Lord, you ignore this Emerging brood at the eternal risk of your own children because likely some of their mystical musings are already in the youth group of your own mainstream evangelical church.
