Prominent Unrepentant Gay Man from SBC Church Plugs His Gay Bible Study’s Good Deeds

First Baptist Church Orlando is a 14,000-member Southern Baptist megachurch led by David Uth that continues its quest to brazenly and flagrantly violate scripture. Years ago they infamously offered a full-blown ecumenical statement devoid of any Gospel truth and antithetical to the teachings of scripture by highlighting how many illegal immigrants, pro-choice democrats, and LGBTQ folk were ‘serving’ in his church.

Last year they knowingly baptized Joe Mills, an out-and-out gay, unrepentant gay man, who is ‘married’ to his ‘husband’ and has been leading a small group of FBCO congregants in a bible study for the past few years, with the knowledge of Pastor Danny De Armas, who himself has conducted the study.

Then, as an unrepentant gay man in good standing in the church, he was allowed to baptize others at the church.

Now, wearing official swag and a badge from First Baptist Church Orlando, Joe Mills announced on social media that his bible study group ‘The Gospel Gathering’ (which mainly comprises openly unrepentant LGBTQ men and women from FBCO) is sponsoring a kid to church camp.

The SBC credentials committee has a lot say regarding expelling churches that endorse and promote female pastors, but when it comes to gay-affirming denominational megachurches, they’ve been silent for years and have shown no inclination to speak up any time soon.

SBC’s ‘First Baptist Orlando’ Allows Unrepentant ‘Gay-Married’ Homosexual to Baptize His Friends

First Baptist Church Orlando, the 14,000-member Southern Baptist megachurch led by David Uth, continues its quest to brazenly and flagrantly violate scripture. Last year they knowingly baptized Joe Mills, an out-and-out gay, unrepentant gay man, who is ‘married’ to his ‘husband’ and has been leading a small group of FBCO congregants in a bible study for the past few years, with the knowledge of Pastor Danny De Armas, who himself has led the study. Now, that unrepentant gay man, who is in good standing, is baptizing others at the church.

You’ll recall that FBC Orlando is where Danny De Armas, the senior associate pastor, infamously offered a full-blown ecumenical statement devoid of any Gospel truth and antithetical to the teachings of Scripture by highlighting how many illegal immigrants, pro-choice democrats, and LGBTQ folk were ‘serving’ in his church.

We have transgender, LGBTQ, straight, single, married, divorced and cohabitating people. These same people attend listen, serve, grow and give…We have pro-life and pro-choice…And in the midst of all of this, we have one of the most beautiful worship experiences you can possibly imagine.

Now they’re truly living it. Mills announced in Facebook last year that “At our church, the person that has been instrumental in your walk has the privilege of baptizing that individual. I’m very pleased that Susan will be baptized at a Southern Baptist Church by myself.”

It’s unclear if the woman being baptized is Susan, but what isn’t unclear is that an unrepentant gay man was himself baptized at First Baptist Orlando and now is baptizing others.
