Hmmm even back then people were questioning or rather "joking" about RLC being cult like.
What is the name of the church plant? Do you know if this plant was started by RLC?
Tony has a long history of influence. I know that the founding pastors of Turning Point Church in Washington were discipled by Tony when they lived in Coos Bay. But I thought that they had grown so discouraged by Tony and his behavior that Mike had decided not to go into ministry. Obviously Mike changed his mind and did go into ministry. I wonder how that came about.
It seems like Tony has had an influence on College Park long after he left. Didn't Scott McCollough pastor there for awhile? Seems like Ive read some things here about Scott being a disciple of Tony.
It would be prudent to exercise caution around anyone who has yielded themselves to Tony's teaching and influence. And if those who started this new church in your area have had strong connections with Tony and/or RLC I would say proceed with caution.
I actually don't know the name of the church or if it is connected to RLC or not. The person that is pastoring the church did attend SOMA, though.
Yes, Scott pastored at College Park. He was part of the group that left 8ish years ago. I don't know what became of him after that, though.
I think you are right....I will exercise caution. I don't intend to leave my current church (College Park), but I just am concerned about those that did leave if this is indeed a plant. Maybe it isn't and I'm just getting all worked up for nothing....but I will be in prayer regardless. Thank you for your input.
