King asked Tammy Faye : "So you believe that [you are] going to go to heaven ?"
"I believe I am. I’m counting on it. As hot as it’s been lately, I sure don’t want to go to hell.
"Do you believe you’re going to go to heaven ? " King asked.
"Yes, sir. Larry, you know I do. And I believe you’re going to go to heaven, too."
"I’ll see you there," King said.
In the same interview, Larry converses with Tammy and Jim Bakker's son, JAY BAKKER
Bakker said he would marry homosexuals in his church, if the laws passed.
KING : You favor there being a law, though ?
JAY BAKKER : Yes, I do. I think they deserve equal rights just as much as anybody else does. And I think it’s — it’s such a big social issue right now, it’s something that really needs to be looked at and I think passed.
Jay Bakker goes on to state that "I don’t feel like we’re called to judge people, especially people outside of the church. And so we don’t do a lot of that."
He does however go on to show his doublemindedness by making this strange judgement against fundamentalists by saying, "...there’s some of the guys who are kind of old school and still worrying about fictitional characters being gay and pointing the fingers at people, and almost creating a moralistic club, you know, that you have to be very moral to be in our private country club."
Bakker said he didn’t believe in taking the Bible literally and credits Billy Graham with helping him come to that position.
"Not completely, because I think we’ve had so many poor translations. And unless we’re doing really, really in-depth studies do we know what the word is saying. And I think there’s, you know, in the Old Testament that were stories to explain what happened, rather than being this literal text. I found it very interesting that I saw Billy Graham in "Newsweek" actually say a similar thing."
