He died, and most of the posse went nuts.

He did have one keen word of knowledge, according to those that saw him, it was one of the most accurate and deep giftings they had ever seen.

Sad to realize gifts don't save us, only a faithful relationship with the Savior does.

If you have a faithful relationship with the savior you better have gifts.

ROFL!!!! That pretty much sums it up. You forgot to mention that they thought he was going to raise from the dead and didn't want to bury him.

I remember as a teenager he showed up at Louisiana Campmeeting in a beautiful balck Cadillac Limi with one of his saints dressed up in a Chauffers uniform driving him around.

It was pretty funny. I have always loved limos so I got a kick out of getting to see one close up (not to many of them in La. at that time) but thought it was strange a pastor would be riding a limo. I guess he was an early adopter of the prosperity message?

Wow, not a lot of compassion for a grieving congregation....shame on you.

This happened several decades ago. They should be over it by now and realize that he isn't coming back to life.

I realize that....but obviously you remember every minute detail. Hope you've had your limo ride since then.

Several limo rides. All quite nice.

Seeing a limo at age 14 in rural Louisiana was a big deal! Especially when a big ole Pentecostal Preacher was the owner. Very memorable.

He was a very eccentric figure and those we all tend to remember.
