I must admit that I am a little jealous of him and his sales skills being a career salesman myself. when you pair his personal life with the rise and fall and rise of his business which is what it is. It is a business. He is not interested in souls, he is interested in clients and client acquisition. He has ever so cleverly adjusted the gospel inspired by a revelation from Satan if anyone to take the focus off of Jesus Christ and him crucified and resurrection. Ironically it was a sermon from him in 1985 that perfectly defined what a cult is and by his own definition he and his business is a cult and has destroyed his own marriage and thousands of others. God is not a God of confusion or division. Swaggart and his Satanic heretic doctrine is.

READ THE WORD OF God where God says when u ask He God forgives us and remembers the sins NO MORE! AND HE God is is is ALL I CARE ABOUT. ALL MEN will never measure up. Man will always let u down one way or another. Flesh. Who is to say Swaggart was not sincere. ONLY GOD KNOWS A MANS HEART. YOU MIGHT BE CAREFUL CONTINUING TO SPEAK ABOUT MEN OF GOD THIS WAY. HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN THROW THE FIRST STONE. YOU, SWAGGART, THE WORST OF THE WORST JESUS DIED FOR. WE ARE ALL EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO GOD.! I LOVE MY LORD. Never should anyone doubt where at the very least people are BEING SAVED ! SWAGGART IS JUST A TOOL OF our Lords. And he is reaching more people than anyone else out there in the Christian community. Thank God someone is trying and succeeding.ty <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514616861577942140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11726805826799149.post-62074350709661148822020-03-03T16:58:50.354-06:002020-03-03T16:58:50.354-06:00Amen brother....Amen brother....Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830235521494133093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11726805826799149.post-90465540661640284122015-08-16T06:40:40.577-05:002015-08-16T06:40:40.577-05:00Praise God.love this article.Praise God.love this article.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830235521494133093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11726805826799149.post-86671628407186444502014-02-22T10:46:34.595-06:002014-02-22T10:46:34.595-06:00I was recently brought into touch with the Swaggar... I was recently brought into touch with the Swaggart ministries through a friend and his wife. They do not attend the church they took me to, but knowing my enjoyment of guitar and the playing thereof, they invited me to attend a church that was in need of a guitar player. Long story short, I joined as I liked the fire and brimstone preaching of old, BUT came to be troubled by the "new revelation of the Cross" as the "NEW" or "Real" truth. <br /> I was invited to play guitar in their praise band, which I welcomed with great joy. <br /> I have since questioned this "revelation of the Cross" to the pastor who I feel is working in the spirit of God, but misled by the cross message.<br /> I started to attend the classes they provide which claims, it will "teach you how to defeat Satan by this cross message," or words to that effect. I quit it after 3 weeks and will not return for The Cross, The CROSS, THE CROSS(!) message disturbs me because it focuses as do the Catholics on an icon instead of on the complete Gospel message. I wonder why they do not hold the nails from Christ's wrists and feet, instead of JUST the cross, but of course I am just showing the error of an icon by so saying. They provided a book, by Jimmy Swaggart, titled THE SEVENTH CHAPTER OF ROMANS, The Cross of Christ Series, which they stated was "given" to us, but would cost us $29.95 to buy from Swaggart if we did not receive it "free" from the class. Having had a past in print shops, I know that the cost of that issue, in quantity pricing would be 6 or 7 dollars at most made me aware that this all about money and public exposure of a narcissistic bent. I even went so far as to ask during Wednesday evening services, why the message of the cross was not the complete message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The answer was a form of dancing around the ideas but no real explanation as to why really.<br /> I have made life-long friends in the church I attend and believe they are truly of God, but also misled by the idea of a "new revelation" of Jimmy Swaggart. Thinking of leaving them, and this gospel preaching, but erroneously approached message, troubles me deeply, But I am thinking I must do so soon.<br /> Having played guitar for over 50 years, starting at 5, I have found the using IT to praise God is MY voice and calling, and I regret giving that up as well, but I have faith the GOD will find me a home for that too!<br /> Cults come in many forms, but Money is the root of all evil seems to apply here. Prayers for those being led astray with the "message of the cross" instead of the complete Gospel of Jesus Christ. May God bless.<br />BillWD Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444727463865189865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11726805826799149.post-33187839921390714922013-11-16T14:46:33.863-06:002013-11-16T14:46:33.863-06:00Did you read the article?

His divisive and unedifying example of arrogancy and rebellion against authority as well as his redefinition of the Gospel as being the equivalent of his interpretation of a "Message of the Cross" is what he needs to repent for now. What he did with prostitutes and in secret for years isn't the issue here.Reverend Rafael https://www.blogger.com/profile/06134264574598609459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11726805826799149.post-6740135287410008162013-07-02T06:47:46.345-05:002013-07-02T06:47:46.345-05:00Swaggart did repent publicly in 1988 on national T...Swaggart did repent publicly in 1988 on national TV and satellite seen around the world. He has been delivered from those things that had a strong hold on him.<br />I was Pastoring an A/G church at the Time the 1988 issue happened, and it was as most people had thought.<br />It was sinful, but NOT sexual intercourse.<br />I know brother Swaggart and he has confessed and repented for those sins years ago. Therefore as God has forgiven him and has forgotten his sins so we must also.Bishop Douglas Gaffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627843011316114340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11726805826799149.post-438436825298215892013-02-27T07:46:16.176-06:002013-02-27T07:46:16.176-06:00There's only ONE Gospel.

There is only one. <br /><br />It is the failure of churches to proclaim without sectarian bias the essential truths of that same Gospel that Christ proclaimed. <br /><br />No church is "perfect", but I don't know what is "perfect" to you or what a "perfect gospel" is in your view. As I said, there's only ONE Gospel.
