Pastor Preaches Sermon with a AR-15 Strapped To His Chest

Pastor Philip Thornton is the pastor of Legacy Faith Church in Harrisburg, PA, a pentecostal church with the usual theological indiosyncracies, such as believing “The full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service.”
During his service today, he preached a sermon titled ‘Clearing the Room,’comparing the actions of the military members kicking in the doors, clearing the room, and violently assaulting their enemies, to how Christians need to behave in the faith, giving ‘unbelief’ no warning or quarter as it’s similarly ‘assualted’ in the spirit, while also being smart and strategic in how Christians should act to overcome it.
