NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - A Mount Juliet Pastor who is no stranger to making headlines is once again raising eyebrows for his church's ban on masks.
Greg Locke, pastor at the Global Vision Church, has told followers that they will be asked to leave 'the tent' if they show up in masks.
"We will escort you to the door," Locke said in a recent video from his RV in Florida.
"We are a place of faith, not a place of fear," Locke went on to say. "I'm digging my heels in and I'm not changing my mind."

Sure wouldn't know it by the way he behaves.
Not going along with "mask mandates" recommended or imposed by government is one thing. Doing this kind of stuff is another.
Banning masks is just as wrong as requiring them. Let people make their own decisions
He has the right idea and I have been doing the same thing. LA County has issued a mandate for masks everywhere but I ignore it. If only 10% of the population refused to wear masks it would stop this crap dead in its tracks. There isn’t enough law enforcement to enforce it and we would overwhelm the government’s resources if they tried to enforce it.
Interesting juxta-position, isn’t it ?
Leave his church.
What an idiot!
My bad I misread.
Good masks are useless!
I mostly support this. However, there are are people still not comfortable without masks, elderly, sick, and such.
Why turn them away? Doesn’t make sense.
He has a point “where 2 or more gather in my name, there I am.” Unfortunately the elderly have been so brainwashed, and blacks as well, that they will be buried with them.

Socially distancing, six feet under.
He is wrong. I am anti-mask, but what people choose to do of their own free will should not (in this case) prevent them from attending church.
I wear no mask at my church, nor do most of the congregants, but a few do and we make nothing of it. This pastor is wrong.
That said, I still think it's a personal choice. Some folks are heavily allergic to pollen or dust. Some folks are scared, and what you need to do is convince them instead of rejecting them as people.

“ Unfortunately the elderly have been so brainwashed, and blacks as well, “
A bit condescending .
Just because someone is “elderly “ or “black” and makes a decision you disagree with doesn’t make them “brainwashed”.

Yeah it does. Any tard that stayed awake in 5th grade science knows that a virus cant be stopped with a mask.
Thats why the CDC when handling viruses dress like this
They stayed awake.
WRONG!!!! Co2 jumps to 13,000 ppm under a mask... 400 ppm is open air... 5,000 ppm considered dangerous...
Masks ARE DANGEROUS...........PERIOD!!!
Well aren’t you the expert in everything! I’m no fan of masks but plenty of people wear masks all day with no harm. Let me get this straight. When it comes to the vaccine it’s your choice but when it comes to wearing masks everyone has to do as you say. Typical liberal.
We have elderly in church with COPD, congestive heart failure, etc., who’ve worn masks for years. These people need them.
If people are wearing them because of Election Virus, and/or because the F Gnome said so, then the preacher is right. Faith, not fear.
I wear an N-95 mask still when I go into a store. Probably overkill but... (My county the other day had an infection rate of 6/100,000 people!) My wife is pretty haphazard with her worthless hospital mask. Although at the height of it last summer/fall she also wore an N95.
Neither of us has taken the jab, and neither of us give the other a hard time about our various levels of concern/protection.
I have been doing a bunch of home repairs with lots of dust and the N95 comes in handy for that as well. And it probably is more effective doing that than shopping for groceries! But it made me feel for the folks in the construction business that could really use a decent mask, but I’m guessing they are still hard to come by. (I had a bunch for fire season, and bought several boxes last February).
I did see at Home Depot that they had the half-mask respirators with filters, so that is good for the workers.
