HOMO ENTHUSIASTS INFILTRATE METHODISTS

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

It’s happening all over again.

The practicing homosexuals are infiltrating big time the United Methodist Church. They have been trying for some time now, not quite able to get enough votes at the annual conclave to turn the Protestant denomination totally around for evil. Yet of course they never give up.

So now it’s North Carolina, a previously conservative geography to United Methodism. It’s entitled "Hearts on Fire," which is a real infiltration of Methodist history and theology in that it was founder John Wesley who focused on such language in his holiness preaching — the infilling of the Holy Spirit with heavenly fire to cleanse out the heart’s carnal nature.

Now that which was once used as biblical preaching content has been prostituted to endorse sodomy in the name of Jesus Christ.

The "convocation is organized by Reconciling Congregations, the main pro-homosexuality lobby group attempting to overturn the Untied Methodist Church’s teachings on marriage and sexual ethics," according to Mark Tooley writing for The Institute of Religion and Democracy Methodist News.

This same infiltration of course is now history with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Episcopal Church of America, United Church of Christ (Congregational) and Unitarian-Universalist Society. The worldwide Anglican Communion is suffering with this same evil. Now the so-called "holiness church" known as "Wesley’s Church" is attacked by demonic forces.

The only way that such infiltration can be overcome is for truly biblical members of the denomination to stand strong, be vocal, attend conferences (particularly where there is voting concerning denominational strength and weakness), and determine not to permit a clergyperson of liberal standing to enter their pulpits. Add to that daily prayer and spiritual vigilance at every turn.

The practicing homosexuals do not care a twit about Jesus nor Christian truth. All they care about is flaunting their sexual wares for the world to see. They are exhibitionists within the courts of the holy. They are also power hungry, especially so when entering the Christian pulpits to give forth their anti-Christ messages weekly to captive audiences. These infiltrators work night and day, get on committees, write letters, wiggle their ways into positions or power and then take over.

The truly Christian must do the same — but more.

What happened in the aforementioned denominations is that the truly Christian were more times than not asleep while the enemy took over the camp. Then the truly Christian woke up mornings to realize that their church had been robbed while they napped. It can happen in the United Methodist Church if the truly Christian are not aggressive.

There are many who consider this demonic infiltration as a part of the End Times, another manifestation of the spirit of anti-Christ at work to spread sin around the globe prior to the Second Coming of Christ. With this understanding must also come the biblical message to stand fast, confront the spiritual enemy and defend the coming Christ at all costs.

"Reconciling hopes to attract 400 United Methodists to the convocation, located in western North Carolina. Participants will include 7 bishops: Susan Morrison, Melvin Talbert, Joseph Sprague, Sally Dyck, John Schol, Minerva Carcano and Bishop Richard Wilke.

"Other speakers will include openly lesbian United Methodist minister Beth Stroud, same-sex union convenor Karen Oliveto, and Erin Swenson, a male Presbyterian minister who had a sex-change operation and now professes to be female.

"Reconciling has declared that ‘Hearts on Fire’ will include a ‘rainbow community of faithful lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual disciples committed to justice!’"

The United Methodist Church official position is stated in The Book of Discipline where God’s love is affirmed for "homosexuals but call homosexual practice ‘incompatible with Christian teaching.’ Human rights for homosexuals are supported, but the church denies ordination to practicing homosexuals, refuses funding for pro-homosexuality advocacy, and will not allow same-sex unions."

It is this statement that the practicing homosexuals are seeking to overturn.

The world is at war on many levels, the chief being spiritual, of course.
