Televangelist Jim Bakker, the hucksteriest of all hucksters, joined forces with Lance Wallnau, a NAR enthusiast who crashed and burned after falsely prophesying that Trump would win the election a few years ago, to assure their listeners that former President Donald Trump is a Christian because he’s been led through the sinner’s prayer on no less than five occasions, and they’re sure “one of ’em stuck.”
The last few years have not been kind to Bakker. Two years ago, the embattled Bakker had his credit card companies cut him off and reduced him to only taking checks to support his ever-dwindling ministry. This has made him desperate to hawk any prophecy, piece, or potion he can to keep the lights on, including selling a $1000 miracle blanket or having guests that claimed a Reptile Alien pretended to be her husband in an attempt to seduce her.
Now, they theorize:
Bakker: “So why people think Trump is not a Christian… now I happen to know- I’m telling stuff that I only know because I know the people who have led him in the sinner’s prayer. I mean people who have literally prayed with him. And I know- Lance you know people that have prayed with President Trump to accept Christ as Savior, isn’t that right? “
Wallnau: Yeah I’m laughing because I just hope he doesn’t think he has to accept Jesus into his heart several times a year in order to become a Christian. You only get born again once but I can tell you Dr. Dobson prayed with him, James Robison prayed with him, Pastor (unintelligible) prayed. And those are just three I talked to that said he said the sinner’s prayer, and he meant it.
Trump has prayed three times that I know of to accept Jesus (“And we know a couple more”) and I’m sure one of ’em stuck.
Nothing would make us happier than for God to save Donald Trump, but so far we’ve seen no evidence than he’s anything other than a lost and hellbound pagan that is dead in his sins without Christ, regardless of how many “sinner’s prayers” he’s prayed or have been prayed over him.”
