The above link takes you to Carlton Pearson's church website. At the bottom is a very saddening (to me) hour-long interview/presentation of Mr. Pearson on NPR.

The interview is quite revealing. Apparently Carlton first began by questioning the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible. From there he began questioning whether Jesus could have been wrong about Hell, and the proverbial slippery slope was in full swing for him. What a shame. Such a gifted teacher and such an upbeat personality. He now talks about how wonderful it is for him to feel the love of God when ministering in openly pro-gay churches like the Metropolitan Community Church.

The only good thing about it all is that his church is down to less than 200 now. Before he began preaching universalism, his church typically ran 5000 on Sundays. God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians everywhere can only pray that his ministry (and all those teaching his universalism) will be completely undone in the soonest possible time frame. Apparently his church building has now been foreclosed upon, which is a hopeful sign of his ministry's imminent demise.

Though I truly grieve for Carlton Pearson (I attended his Azusa '93 conference, always used to love his ministry on TV, and especially enjoyed the music his church and conferences produced) I am glad to hear that his "ministry" has just about totally gone down the tubes. I prayed and continue to pray for his repentance and restoration to true biblical Christianity.

What does it mean to "feel the love of God," anyway?

Jesus made the test of our love for Him the keeping of His commandments. Sounds pretty darn exclusive to me.
