Not sure why or what happened to his church as a result, but he needs prayer, badly.

In 2004, after hearing Bishop Pearson's argument for Inclusionism, the Joint College of African-American Pentecostal Bishops reached the conclusion that such teaching was heresy. Officially recongnized as a heretic, the once very popular Bishop Carlton Pearson rapidly began to lose his influence.
Bishop Pearson's story was the subject of an episode entitled "Heretics" on Chicago Public Radio's This American Life, which aired on December 16, 2005.
Pearson was the subject of a CNN story on June 24th, 2007 which covered his change to a more inclusive policy (including acceptance of LGBT people into his church) and the resulting negative backlash from the evangelical community.

Uhhh....maybe because in 2004 he was declared a heretic of the pentecostal church? I'm sure the Holy Spirit let them know he was lying...

i think he believe that we are already in hell because God would never send his children to hell. he had up to 5,000 in his congregation. now he has like 60 people in his church. he basically teaches inner peace and that everyone will go to heaven because we are all in hell now. his teachings are not biblical.
Brian^^ is correct
