The Bethel Church is a megachurch associated with many things. These include the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and the Vineyard churches. The Bethel Church mission is revival.

Research has shown that the New Life Church in Colorado is located in Colorado Springs. It is said to be a nondenominational Christian megachurch with more than 10,000 members.

No. Pastor Jakes is the religious leader of a megachurch. The Illuminati, when they did exist, sought to separate religion from society (part of the reason the Catholic Church hunted them down mercilessly when the organization was disbanded). Sorry, the Illuminati does not exist.

No, Bishop T.D. Jakes is not considered apostolic in the traditional sense of being part of the Apostolic succession like some denominations claim. He is a prominent pastor, author, and spiritual leader known for his work with The Potter's House, a megachurch in Dallas, Texas.

Dr. Charles Stanley is a well-known pastor and founder of In Touch Ministries. He served as the senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Atlanta for many years and reaches a wide audience through his radio and television broadcasts. He is also a bestselling author of numerous books on Christian living and faith.

Depends on the "Protestant" denomination. So called megachurch ministers can make well over 6 figures...but I have a feeling the question is more aimed at mainline Protestant ministers. From my research, a new minister just out of seminary can expect to make anywhere between 20-30,000 for the first 5 years. Raises after that will top off after 20 years of service around 50k. With that said, some mainline ministers can also make large sums of money by working for large inner-city churches. Furthermore, some denominations provide essentials for the minister and his/her family; such as a car, a parish house, money for utilities and groceries, etc.

There are a lot more than ten. The ten largest are: Lakewood Church of Houston; Second Baptist of Houston; North Point Community Church near Atlanta; Willow Creek Community Church, near Chicago; LifeChurch.tv, of Edmond, Okla.; West Angeles Church of God in Christ, Los Angeles; Fellowship Church, of Grapevine, Texas; Saddleback Valley Community Church of Lake Forest, Calif.; Calvary Chapel of Ft. Lauderdale; and The Potter's House of Dallas.

A megachurch is any protestant congregation with more than 2,000 people attending weekly services. Many have multiple campuses and broadcast sermons from a central location. This is a database of megachurches in America:

It is true that some Christian pastors have admitted to 'Mormon envy', because in general, Mormons are more faithful in the payment of tithes than other Christian groups. It isn't known why Mormons tend to be more willing to pay tithes, but here are some ideas.

First, Mormons actively preach about tithing and feel they are expected to pay it. Many Christian pastors today avoid preaching about what you should and should not do because people don't like to hear it. Since pastors are paid by their congregants, they try to preach about things that people want to hear. Mormon leaders are not paid for church service, so they don't care if their preaching is popular or not.

Second, Mormons believe that the glory you enjoy in heaven depends on how faithful you were in keeping the commandments of God. While many Christian churches believe something similar to this, many others preach that good works or obedience to God's commandments has absolutely nothing to do with your reward in heaven. If there is no personal reward for paying tithes, people are much less likely to do it.

As a Mormon, I pay tithes for several reasons. First and foremost, I love God and want to obey His commandment to pay tithes. Second, I have noticed that when I pay tithes, my financial situation has been more stable than when I have not paid tithes. Third, I love my church and want to help them continue to grow. Fourth, I have made a personal promise to God that I would tithe. Fifth, I support the things that my tithes pay for (building and maintaining churches, assisting the poor, fellowshipping activities, etc) and believe that my donations are used wisely.

The reason why other Christians don't 'get on board' is because they don't believe that way. There are plenty of other ways that Christian pastors can make loads of money (check out the megachurch pastors!) but most pastors just preach what they believe is true and dont care if their congregation is small or large, so long as they are faithful and love God.

Also, I'm not sure you could make a train out of gravy, but even if you could I doubt it could get you to heaven.

NO, Bishop Noel Jones is NOT gay. It is sad that those who present their bodies unto God as living sacrafices, HOLY and ACCEPTABLE unto him are often accused or assumed to be gay.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1................

NOone can say if he is gay or not gay...ONLY he himself can answer that questions.....anyone else answering this questions is just making their assumptions. BUT....i will say that as a gay man myself, i THINK he is gay...
