A couple of weeks ago I wrote about this A- list Disney actor/singer and how he sees the Christian market as very lucrative for him going forward.

The other day he took the next step in that plan and did so very publicly.

Joshua Bassett Says He Does ‘Not Endorse All’ Beliefs of Church He Was Baptized In

Update: After fans on social media began expressing concern over Bethel Church’s alleged support of conversion therapy and other controversial policies, Bassett tweeted, “i visited this church and happened to get baptized here- i was unaware of some of their policies and beliefs, and do not endorse all of them. my heart is for Christ and Christ alone!”

Joshua Bassett is continuing to speak out about his spirituality. Just a couple weeks after he assured fans that he was okay following concern over his recent religious posts, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter has now shared a video of him publicly declaring Jesus Christ as his “lord and savior” at what looks to be a church service.

Posted to Bassett’s social media accounts Monday (Feb. 13), the video, which is watermarked with a logo for Bethel Church, shows the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star standing onstage next to another man, perhaps a worship leader. “My name is Joshua Bassett,” he says into a microphone. “Long story short, I grew up Christian and I ran the other way, as far as I could go, in pursuit of the ‘truth.’”

“That only ended in addiction, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, et cetera,” the “Lie, Lie, Lie” singer continues. “No other teacher gave me anywhere near the peace that Jesus Christ did.”

Bassett’s final statement earns him loud applause from the audience: “I’m here to publicly declare him as my lord and savior.”

Bethel Church is a non-denominational Christian church in Redding, Calif., which livestreams Sunday services. “We believe that there is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator, and Redeemer of all that is,” reads the church’s belief statement online. “We believe that heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the lost and the saved, the one to everlasting death and the other to everlasting life.” – Source
