BUT THAT'S NOT THE STORY:
INDEPENDENT BAPTIST CHURCH FEATURES HOMOSEXUAL ENTERTAINER
MARCUS POINTE BAPTIST TEMPLE
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA
- Pastor: Gordon Godfrey Jr
"At Marcus Point, believe in worshiping God in many different ways. Find something that you enjoy and get involved! There's something for everyone! Our purpose is to use the arts as a communication tool for God's glory! It is the purpose of our music and worship ministry to point people to Christ through the creative arts."

Marcus Pointe Baptist Temple in Pensacola, Florida, illustrates the slippery slope of messing with contemporary music and embracing the accompanying heresy that grace equates with non-judgmentalism in matters such as music. The pastor, Gordon Godfrey, spoke at Southwide Baptist Fellowship in 2006 and 2009. In fact, Marcus Pointe hosted the Southwide Fellowship meeting in 2009. Evangelist Tim Lee reported in his blog that year that the meeting “was awesome” and that Marcus Pointe is one of his supporting churches. This “awesome” church has been on the slippery slope of spiritual compromise for years, and the effect is obvious.
This January it hosted entertainer Barry Manilow on his One Last Time Tour. The church’s choir accompanied Manilow in a worldly rock & roll show that included Manilow’s hit song “Copacabana.” The lyrics begin like this: “Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl/ With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there/ She would merengue and do the cha-cha/ And while she tried to be a star/ Tony always tended bar/ Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4/ They were young and they had each other/ Who could ask for more?” When a concerned brother in Christ communicated to one of the Marcus Pointe choir members that Manilow is a homosexual who “married” his long-time partner in 2015, the choir member didn’t know and “didn’t seem to care.” One day, it will be evident to such people that ignorance is not bliss and the true grace of God is not non-judgmental tolerance of sin and error. “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world” (Titus 2:11-12). “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Ephesians 5:11).
