I sat under Clayton King for over 6 years, but when I heard his preaching on Homos*xuality, I was done with New Spring Church.

He proclaimed that he had several homos*xual friends in the congregation and he didn’t know if people are born that way or not because he (Clayton) wasn’t a doctor!! I was flabbergasted !! The Bible is very clear on Homos*xuals and heaven. Only the pure in heart shall see God!
