I don't know if he's any relation to Clarence Gilyard.
So they are punishing the children to accomodate someone who isn’t biblically qualified to be a Pastor in the first place? Some “church”!
Is this one of those John Semmens satire pieces ?
What’s the point of a church without kids under 18-yrs-old?
This is one of those assemblies where savage wolves have entered and led them after him. If they are believers, at all.
Bunch of weirdos calling themselves a Baptist church in order to cash in on the tax exempt status.
Oddly, Gilyard's arrival at the church has caused a spike in attendance. Before Gilyard joined the church about 10 members came to service. Now the numbers are between 150 and 200.
But no children. Insanity. Pure insanity. There's no decency or common sense anymore.
I hope this church loses all of its members over this crap
Suffer the little children to come unto me... it would be better if a millstone were hung around his neck and cast in the sea.
i live on a sailboat anchored in Jax and this is the first i heard of this (no tv)
so that’s what it takes to get people to church...perverts in the pulpit
goodbye America...it was nice while it lasted
I predict the ‘pastor’ will express shock and surprise when the church sees a rapid decline in membership in the near future...
I’m wondering what he will be meaning when he will say to treat each other nicely, or tend the other cheek, for that matter. Mary Magdalene was not stoned, but she still had to accept being divorced.
The Lord could forgive Hitler, if he repented. So this guy could be forgiven by the Lord, and even by the church.
But he should never again be a pastor. Just like the fellow that runs off with the organist, or cavorts with a deacon’s wife, his witness is no longer effective, and he should find another career.

WTH is wrong with that church? Do the elders not find a moral conflict with installing him as Pastor?
Has he repented of his sins?
The article isn’t clear on that point, but if he has, then I find the attitude of freepers here puzzling.
Since when is repentance not part of Christianity? Since when is forgiveness not part of Christianity? Since when is putting your past life behind you and returning to the narrow path not part of Christianity?
The article is fuzzy on whether he has repented, but for the sake of argument let’s say he has (a fairly safe assumption, since the church has hired him). What would you have the the church do in that circumstance? Say “We know God has forgiven you, but we won’t,” or “God may give you a second chance, but we won’t”?
