Yes, there is a Fifth Accuser in the Case Against Bishop Eddie Long
There has been yet another man added to the list of accusers of Bishop Eddie Long. Centino Kemp has never filed a lawsuit, but it is being reported that he also had an inappropriate relationship with the pastor at one point in his life.
Kemp is a 22-year old recording artist. Kemp allegedly also came forward with allegations against Long and reportedly played a powerful role in Long’s decision to settle his lawsuit. On Kemp’s wrist are tattooed the words, “Eddie Long, never a mistake, always a lesson.”
Last May, Bishop Eddie Long from the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church paid a financial settlement to four young men who’d accused him of sexual misconduct. He initially stated that he would want the truth to come out in the case, but later changed his mind and decided to keep the details of the settlement private.

There’s a saying I am sure we have all heard. “What is done in the dark will eventually come to the light”.
He is headed to hell just because he so highly spoke against this stuff!!!
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone…vengeance is mine saith The Lord.
Let him who thinks he stands be careful lest he falls. It sounds like the vampires are fighting among themselves. Who is the pure-blood and who has been turned. People love the limelight and there is no honor among thieves especially in a nation that is progressively becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah. Violent and deviant with legal and legislative fervor. You shall know them by their fruits because they are fruity and one rotten apple can turn the whole barrel rotten. Never forget Jim Jones and the poisoned Kool Aide..These behaviors were there too. Even the politicians play shame games on each other with the press ready willing and able to scoop one another in being the first to break a story on the latest scandal.
They are lucky that they are not living in Ghana. Ghana don’t take no mess.
Can’t You All just get along.
The Bishop is obviously no saint so my remark is not in defense of him at all, but could this latest individual be a copy cat just wanting his 15 minutes of fame? I find his timing a little suspect don’t you?
There are too many to count Eddie Longs in the world.
Alberta: Eddie Long had more tha fifteen minutes with these youths. And no it’s not suspect for anyone to come forward with shameful acts. Don’t down the youth because he remained silent, if Long had tossed your salad, you’d seek financial compensation. A monkey will take money and he doesn’t have pockets!!
Aaron, I think you are missing my point; I will never down anyone because I nor you were there, just playing devil’s advocate and putting out there another perspective or possiblility. My remark was meant to be rhetorical not accusatory.
Alberta……you are an Eddie Long worshipper if I ever saw one! You like so many are in so much denial it is pathetic!!!! Where do you sit in his sanctuary….to the left or right of the pulpit? HHMMMM. Did you not read that this young man was a HUGE part of why Eddie decided to settle out of court and silence the truth!!! Madame, you and so many others are going to seriously rue the day that you decided to defend sin and not call it out and demand that it stop. You are the very reason that demons such as Eddie Long become so wealthy from the filthy lucre that they steal from you and the rest of the congregants every week. You are the reason that these towers of babel exist. This sodomite should have stepped down years ago when the pictures began to surface of him downtown Atlanta in his Rolls Royce soliciting gay prostitutes. The fact of the matter is this…..IT WILL ALL COME OUT sooner than he would like for it to. This man decided to bad mouth and denegrate the gay community for years hoping that his sad smoke screen would hide his own perversions. Well the smoke is clearing rapidly and he is left staring at himself in the mirrors that are cracking all around him!
Grow up and find some real spiritual maturity. Study (for real) to show yourself approved so that you can discern error and the sons of perdition in these last days before you too have Jesus look at you and say,
Matthew 7:21-23
Amplified Bible (AMP)
21Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
22Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?
23And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].
Apostacy is a sad, hell-bound state of existing!!!
We all know that the more we stand to lose the more vulnerable we are. The one trait or behavior we so dislike in the other is usually our own reflection, that part of us that we do not want to be and that we believe we should not be. Unless one is honest with him/herself about one’s weaknesses and one’s inner self, not how one perceives him/herself to be but the one he/she really is without the “social” or “politically correct” mask, it is easy to fall and do what one believes and thinks he/she will never do. It is good for anyone and everyone to have the one person with whom one feels comfortable to talk about one’s fear, doubt, weaknesses, and the like, if one cannot trust anyone with one’s circle to be true with, then create this person within you, designate a place and time where one can go and speak about these temptations. We all have the understanding and spirit in us which tells and guides us to behave safely for our own good, we need to pay attention to that inner voice and act accordingly. It is always right, and right for us and right for others.
Did you not also read read the passage in the bible that states, “he who is without sin cast the first stone?” For the record let me get you straight, no I am not a member of EL Church nor am I a fan of his. I happen to live in another state in another part of the country. I have never seen EL in person and has only watched his televison ministry once in part in my entire life; there was something about him that I just couldn’t connect with, but as a christian who strongly believe that God is not through with any of us yet, yes including you; I’ve had to pray for both he and his alleged victims and move on. I suggest you do likewise.
Peace…
Good response Alberta. Phony preachers aren’t the only detriment to body, selfrighteous people like phenomalwoman drives an equal amount away too. I understood your first comment completely and thought the same thing. I believe Long is guilty as hell but he liked males not transvestites so yes I think this guy is full of it.
Have mercy, if after all of this time this man, tranny, Kemp decided to come forth than perhaps he is/was looking to get included on the band wagon of getting paid. If he says at this point in time that BEL came one to him (or he to BEL) than maybe he was too thrilled that he was attracting a supposedly noble dignitary and quite possibly bragged about it. Also, sad as it is, some of our young people swallow pills that are just too much for them to handle at their ages. And later, they try to throw the pills up. Either way, this mess is not going to help Kemp’s recording career.
Why would anyone in there right mind come 2 the defense of EL? Oh i get it. Somehow his sins somehow reflect your religious belief or denomination. I would tell those who believe just because the person or pastor says he is a christian or muslim, if that is your religion, u judge that individual based on his/her actions & not words. If it quacks like a duck it is a duck & that doesnt represent u or your religious beliefs.
EL has made a mockery of his religion and his parishoners. To continue to support this sheep in wolves clothing just confounds me to no end. For the other mega preachers who refused to speak out against his atrocities is unconscionable. Shame on you as you make your hugh deposits ata white owned bank! Who in their right frame of mind can support this hypocrite? Please don’t use the judge so ye not be judged because this charlatan has criticized and judges every homosexual on the planet. And he, for years, practice homosexuality with minors. Change your laws Georgia. There’s a child molester masquerading as a “Bishop” in your neighborhood!
Shame on you as you make your hugh deposits ata white owned bank? Am I missing here?
Long said from his pulpit one Sunday that he had five smooth stones and he hadn’t thrown one yet. Well, from the news reports Eddie actually had ten smooth nuts and he tossed them as well as having his reciprocated.
And these people are still going to New Birth. Just WOW!
God’s Word says the wages of sin is death. No one is exempt, not Bishop Eddie Long or anyone else. Sin of any kind cannot stand or exist in the presence of our most Holy God; Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It’s Holiness or Hell. Church hipocrites discourages a lot of people from coming to Church, or surrendering to God; but I would like to encourage everyone to remember God ‘s Word will never fail. God is love, and Jesus Christ is coming back again. We can’t get caught up in the trap of the enemy. Let’s watch and pray, and receive Jesus Christ as our LORD and Savior and stay Holy.
AMEN!!!
While God does have a component of Love and Mercy, it is reserved for those who strive to follow His word. not those who seek fame and riches from those he is supposed to protect! it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. if this story were about a father molesting his child, or a teacher molesting his student most people would want his hide. it is even worse for a religious figure who acts so holier than thou. don’t forget, Jesus threw out the charlatan money changers from the church. Why? they were hypocrites using the Lord to enrich themselves. And that fake preacher Dollar should be ashamed! Judgment is for God only, how DARE he say eddie long already has a seat in heaven! Just one crook covering for another.
You know Musa you have every right to be angry and disappointed; I am also, because if all of these allagations are true then many people were and still is being deceived. What I do know whether its EL, the rest of the culprits or whomever, if they are living a lie they are going to pray a huge price for this – this is what the bible says. The bible also says that “all sin and fall short, ” but if any man is sorry for such sin and goes to the Father in ernest asking forgiveness of such sin our God is faithful to forgive him. We cannot change the word, so Creflo Dollar or whomever may be correct if this individual have confessed his sins and have been forgiven he may have a seat in heaven, we don’t know – God is the only judge of this and this is between him and his God.
I too am somewhat disappointed that more men and women of the cloth didn’t publicly speak out about this alleged atroscity. This was a teachable moment, a prime opportunity to teach against such sin. They too will have to give an account for this.
Who cares? Eddie isnt the only one whose doing this what about all the fake Catholic fathers I bet they are glad the media left them alone to deal with ole boy eddie, and eddie has no taste when it comes to men smh
And yet I’ve talked to members of the same sect who insist that their church is more ‘moral’ than the Catholic Church.
I truly believe Eddie Long is guilty. It’s just too many different ones who doesnt know each other coming forward with similar stories. We all as black people must stop holding our ministers on such high petal stools. They are not above God and they are only men who are mere sinners anyway who was saved by grace. Many times we look up to them as being inhuman and we began to worship the image of them more then we worship the creator of the image. We all have fallen short of God’s love and grace and minister do too. Hopefully Eddie Long will finally confess to his wrong and stop thinking of all the money he recieves now from his congregation. Even when he do come forward and admits that hes gay, we must embrace him with love and forgive him.
It’s not simply about Long being gay, a hypocrite pastor, fame whore, or any combination there of. These were not “young men” of consenting age. They were minor children that he violated. Boys not consenting adult men.
First of all I’m not defending anyone because I was not a witness to anything, but I find it interesting that people are so willing to condemn others when all of us have sin and continue to fall short of living sinless lives… We have a tendency to rate sin and believe some sin is greater than other. The truth is sin is sin which is why we need Jesus who died for all sin period. He died for whatever sin Bishop Eddie Long may have committed and for whatever sin I or whoever will every commit. The crucial point is whether or not we repent because in 1 John 1:9 the Word says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I thank God that He will be our judge in the end, because if we depended upon man, we will all be headed to Hell.
Some of us just love to be lead by the blind. Jesus never said “do as I say not as I do”. It is not about religion, it is about fake, phony people trying to make a living off others while using the bible to lure them into the traps.
I JUST THINK IT IS AN TRADGEDY TO PRETEND TO BE SOMETHING YOUR NOT!,BE MAN OR WOMAN ENOUGH TO BE WHAT YOU ARE,PEOPLE ARE BEING HURT BY FAKES!
All three of the last comments are right on target, I couldn’t agree with you more. It is time for us to do some soul searching. What sins are we committing be they secretly or not so secretly, be they large or small that God is not pleased with? Remember the almighty God sees and knows everything and you can’t fool him. And if by chance you are sinless, which I doubt – please say a prayer for a sinner like me.
The act of sin is committed by inward-man (spirit within the flesh) was done before God, and that which was committed openly was death (calamity) by the physical body before man. There is a difference Alberta. Study the scriptures before orating before people. What was done by Eddie Long was a result of the inner-man not confessing his sins to our Father, and it earned (wages) him death (calamity).
