One of the ex-members of his church has stated online that Pastor Andersen has lost many members because of this ongoing issue. I'm amazed anybody would stay after seeing this. That guy did nothing to need to be physically handled at all, and at least one of the guys escorting him out got violently physical with him.I thought the situation could have been handled better. Pastor was not acting like a man of God. Name calling during a service...really? The Pastor could've gently told him he would be glad to answer any question he has after service. Why do we need to act like this? That's just my take on it. This Pastor lacks leadership and patience. How will anyone want to approach him with any questions or concerns after that. It made the whole situation worse in my opinion.
Completely unnecessary. The guy spoke softly and didn't make a single aggressive gesture or take any aggressive action whatsoever. It was 100% about ...
"Do exactly as I say or I'll FORCE you physically to do what I say!"
That is not Jesus, that is not Christianity and that is not a qualified pastor - especially with someone who conducted themselves as this man did. A church is not a bar/club that has to regularly deal with intoxicated unruly people.
In all the millions of videos online of countless crazy incidents all over the world, there is not one that I can find of a remotely similar incident in a church - especially for simply asking about, or even arguing for, a doctrine the pastor doesn't agree with.
