Does anyone now much about Bishop E. Bernard Jordan?

I was watching him on streaming faith.com... very interesting...

What are his beliefs?

Is he a Christian?

Hmmmm...

In the 1980's and early 1990's, Bishop E. Bernard Jordan was a very high-profile minister in the Prophetic Movement, around the same time as the Kansas City Prophets, as well as many others, burst onto the scene. During that time, he was respected in the Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian community, and his upbringing bears out a Christian background. However, respect for him decreased when he started promoting a theology to back financial giving to receive a prophetic word (he may still be promoting giving a $365 seed for a prophetic word to outline your year). Mr. Jordan also flirted with Eastern Orthodoxy, incorporating some of the regalia and ceremony. However, there are some connections Mr. Jordan has with some interesting characters (such as Reverend Ike, Al Sharpton, and Mark Hansen of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series).

My thoughts? Mr. Jordan's drifted from the Pentecostal/Charismatic mainstream with a prosperity emphasis that probably would make even some radical WOFers blush, and I think some of the stuff happening there may border on fortune-telling and possibly divination. There may be some good happening, and I know God honors people's true faith, but I think some things are seriously amiss there.
