CARLTON PEARSON JOINS CHRIST UNIVERSAL FAMILY: He’s named interim minister at Chicago church.
gospel | May 22, 2009 | Comments 5
Carlton Pearson is excited to move to Chicago and join the Christ Universal Temple family.
“We will make it a world class institution and take the ministry to new heights and assist people in living their best lives with a practical religious doctrine,” he says.
Carlton Pearson assumed full duties on May 17. Reverend Johnnie Colemon who retired three years ago after building the country’s leading New Thought ministry founded Christ Universal Temple 52 years ago.
Carlton Pearson has been controversial, however. A fourth generation Pentecostal minister and traveling evangelist, while he was living in Tulsa, Oklahoma he had one of the largest churches in the city. He hosted the religious conference (AZUSA) that attracted 50,000 people and his was the most watched program on Trinity Broadcasting Network.
After watching a television news program that depicted the horrible conditions of people dying in Rwanda he reevaluated his traditional fundamental Pentecostal doctrine and challenged his religion. As pastor of the New Dimension Church he saw his membership fall from 5,000 to 1,000. He changed his life and embraced what he calls, “universal reconciliation” and wrote a book entitled “The Gospel of Inclusion.” Pentecostal Bishops labeled him a “heretic” and he lost his church, his following and his popularity. His “Gospel of Inclusion” message has attracted diverse ministries and welcomes all people.
Christ Universal Temple is located at 11901 South Ashland in Chicago.

praying for you. miss you on tv.did your wife die?(if so,very sorrow,if not praise God!)
I have followed Carlton Pearson from his time with TBN before he married. I believed any man that was a virgin and GOD lover, hearer, and doer was well worth me hearing. I have enjoyed his teaching, his music and will take the opportunity to visit him whenever he is near. I hope the Lord lead him to Portland, OR. You know its really sad that people do things in the name of GOD, and say that when other are contrary to what their belief is than they are the devil.
I heard about 8 years ago that Bishop Carlton had fail and he was taching the devil’s word. I didn’t believe then and I don’t believe it now. I was living in Santa Barbara, CA from 1986 to 2004. I have a Bachelor’s in Western Civilization from UCSB. THe last time I watched Bishop Pearson on TBN, he stated: You need to be careful of the Bibles you purchase because every Bible that is published is not ordained or inspired by GOD, writers are changing the words and the context of the scriptures. I said WoW. I recently moved to Vancouver Wa. I attended a church in Portland, OR. Emmanuel Temple, Bishop C. T. Wells residing, This was Aug. or Sept. 2007 on a Sunday morning he started talking aboutCarlton Pearson and it was like the Lord would not allow me to hear what he said but I remember I continued to day Carlton died, Carlton Pearson is dead, not realizing my voice tone was going up. One of the Deacons came to me and said No. Carlton went to dark side. To myself I said ‘awe shit’ is that all.
Recently I was here in Vancouver at an AME missions meeting, it really a sewing circle. I was getting ready to say to tell them about the incident at Emmanuel Church, All I could get out was Carlton Pearson, and two ladies said that’s my cousin and he lost his mind. I stated NO, Carlton did not lose his mind, basically what I said prior about Bishop. Then they preceeded to tell me how great Benny Hinn was, I said t hat’s funny, 20/20 and Dateline has interviewed people who supposely has gotten healed by him. When the truth came out the people were not healed. They even paid for their office visit to see if their orginal sickeness had disappeared and in all cases they had not. When the people was ask why did they say they were healed. They said they didn’t know, they didn’t want Benny to look bad and they were scared. I have attended Benny Hinn fellowship at university of Michigan, I was not impressed. I said this to say Benny Hinn fits the norm, fool the people, as long as you stick to the doctrine of manipulation.
i watch and love the DVD ‘The Secret’ for me it show me how and why the Bible works, it also showed me how GOD rain on the just and the unjust. The same ingredient it takes to serve GOD, is the same for wealth. Its faith and belief in whatever you do. Many ministries teaches motivational speaking using the Secret techniques. The Secret call it the Law of Attraction, and Believer call it GOD’s Spirit. I have meet many ministers what thought is the secret is demonic. Oh WEll.
I believe Bishop Pearson has cme into a new knowledge, one I can understand. If we really look at who wrote the new testament Caucasians, if they were Romans I could see how they created sucn imaginations. i had to take a Roman Civilation class at UCSB, in preparing for the class I read the first 3 chpts. I became immediately angry. I could not believe that these are the same Romans in the Bible. The other factor is that GOD never said in the BIble that the Pharoah was going to Hell. Jesus never said to Judas who betrayed him that he was going to Hell, to Pilate, nor to the King that beheaded John the Baptist. tHINK ABOUT IT
The Bible says no new sin known to man, so homosexuality was documented in Old Testament, I never read the Prophet tell the men that they were going to Hell. I agree with Bishop, Hey Bishop Pearson I ove you and your Family with the love of GOD. Please Pray for me and if you need a researcher, a woman of GOD to assist you in getting the WORD of change you are conveying form GOD, I need a JOB or something to believe in that I am willing to die for, (not villence) i speaking of believing that takes you to a new height.
Finally, as a istory najor, hisstory made me very angry, it is a lot of GOD in history, history went against everything I was taught to believe about the Bible, I came into new knowledge. I have been living in spiritual torment since 2002, because I know that GOD gave me knowledge that is different from the saints I fellowship with, and they don’t want to hear it, just like Bishop. So Bishop I guess we are in the same walking shoes. I was thinking about BIshop this morning and Spirit told me to go on line to see actual what they said you did. I did watch you on a platform a year or tow ago but I would not call it a debate because you were the compose man I have always seen and known.
I leave with a question, this goes to changing the Bible. This is really bothering me right now since I can’t seem to find it no where in the BIble or the Oringal King James Version, this is in reference to the Lord’s Prayer. For whatever reason I remember saying the Lord’s prayer with both of these verses incorporated in the Prayer not one or the other.
These are the two verses in question maybe not in the order Ihave them.
Give Us this day , Our daily bread, and Forgive our trespresses, as we forgive those who trepress against us. Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Help me find this answer.
GOD called me before I ever knew how to read the Bible. I was 5 years old and I knew GOD was a person I should know.
Yabra Walker U is confused The secret the smae as Holy spirit… YEAH you and Pearson would do just fine
May the REAL Holy Spirit through the Blood of Jesus, cleanse your blinded spirit & soul…..Be realeased in Jesus name of the LIES of SATAN.. Love Ya even if I dont know Ya!!!
