Stevens and many followers relocated from Lenox to Baltimore in 1987, where the movement became Greater Grace World Outreach. While everybody is talking about the scandal surrounding Jim and Tammy Baker and the PTL ministry, there's another fundamentalist church also trying to fight off a sea of trouble. It's called The Bible Speaks. It claims a worldwide membership in the thousands. Its founder is Carl Stevens. But just last week, a federal judge accused Stevens of "clerical deceit, avarice and subjugation." We first told you about Stevens earlier this year, in a report that began with Stevens' warning those who dare to question God's man, meaning himself. "Don't you say a sentence, not a sentence, not a line. Don't presume or you'll die." Written by 60 Minutes See less
