I was a huge Ray Boltz fan as a teen in the 90s. His music really ministered to me, and still does. I've enjoyed finding a lot of my old favorites here on RUclips. I can't help but read people's comments and it is always inevitable that someone will comment on Ray's current lifestyle (he came out as homosexual in 2008). It is interesting to me to read the different responses people give. Some say we should pray for his repentance, while others insist we shouldn't judge. Here is my take on it. As finite human beings, we can't judge what is going on in his heart and mind. Only he and God know. But we can hold up the standard of God's word. In both the Old and the New Testament, homosexuality is said to be a sin (Leviticus 18:22, I Corinthians 6:9-11). Jesus Himself said that marriage is for one man and and one woman for life (Matthew 19:4-6). I can't begin to imagine what it feels like to struggle with same-sex attraction, but I imagine it is similar to other types of sexual desires that can't be righteously fulfilled (such as being attracted to someone besides your spouse, or being single and having strong sexual desires). In any of these cases, God would ask us to do what Jesus said on Luke 9:23, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Homosexuality is such a buzzword these days. Let's remove it from the equation for a moment. Ray Boltz struggled with something that went against his own convictions for many years. He kept silent and tried to fight it himself. There was no accountability. Not even his wife knew about it. Finally, after years of struggling, he decided to change his beliefs based on his experience, rather than interpreting his experience through his beliefs. He completely indulged in this thing that went against his convictions, and broke his marriage vow. Is that right? To go against your convictions, not get accountability, and break your marriage vows? No! But because it involves homosexuality, everyone gets into "don't judge" mode (seriously, doesn't anyone know anything Jesus said besides "don't judge lest you be judged?" That's the most misused scripture there is!). My belief in the Bible's teaching on this would lead me to side with those who pray for Ray Boltz's repentance. He is our brother in Christ, and has been used mightily of God, as this song clearly reveals.
I was with you till the end where you call him a brother. I disagree, someone living openly in known sin (homosexuality) can not be called a brother in Christ. Living in sin, is living for self, Satan.
You walked away not boltz ask yourself would jesus rape a child joe biden has done far worse he profited off the corpses of the innocent. That is evil so stop lying.
This song ministers to me every time I listen to it. It is sad to know that our Brother Ray went back, but there is hope so long as he is on this side of heaven. Almighty God, there is nothing that is impossible with you, I pray that you will remember Ray, have mercy upon him, heal him of his backsliding and bring him back to the household of faith. Father I pray that you will not let him die in his sins, in Jesus name I pray, Amen
Apostle Michael Orokpo teaching brought me here. This song was used to charge him up for ministry. The recent decisions of Mr. Ray Boltz are revealing the signs of the times. I'm sure there's still anointing here; and as long as he breath, Mr. Boltz still has hope. Sat, Oct 28, 2023🙏🏾
Ray Boltz was booked to sing at my church then he came out as gay. Showed up a few months later he was living out of his car look totally unKepted in in bad shape tryed to sink a few songs. Felt convicted being in a church and walked out. The pastor felt bad for him knowing what was going on took a collection for him.. someone brought it out to his car and tried to talk him into coming back in but he left. Later I read about what happened to Ray . Understood what has happened. I couldn't understand how someone who seemed sold out for the Lord singing good songs could go back to being gay.The pastor asked the congregation to keep praying for him.
My heart was torn when Ray walked away from a loving family and ministry for a delusional and sinful lifestyle. Let's pray him back folks. No stone throwing, no condemnation. Conviction and love ❤
62 years old i am...married for almost 30 years. My wife oftens says that no one is too good to become bad and neither is someone too bad never to become good again. There is still a story of a prodgical son. The right to judge belongs only to God. Pray for those who falls by the wayside..believing for their recovery.
I started listening to this song over 20 years ago. Upto date it still minsters to my spirit. So sad the brother Ray gave up on the lamb. But I know the lamb has not given up on Him. Dear Jesus darkness will never overcome light, you are light lord Jesus. Oh lord God have mercy and restore this brother for your name sake.
It's possible that in some way he was forced or cloned or somehow made to appear this way. If he is truly this way he can be delivered by the spirit and return instantly to normal.
We as Christians need to pray and seek his face to live our lives to trust in Jesus..he died on the cross to save us from sin. We pray that Ray Botz does come back and we pray for all to come to Jesus
RAY BOLTZ YOU SONG SUCH A SONG AND THE DEVIL SEEM THAT HE HAS WON BUT YOU WILL BE VICTORIOUS. GOD CAN AND WILL TURN YOUR SITUATION AROUND. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR
Timeless song! I pray that God will use this song to minister to Ray Boltz to come back to God. To reject this world and stand for Lord. I pledge allegiance to the Lamb!
I was shaken when I heard about Ray's sad story. The songs in his Album "The Concert of a Lifetime" were a rich source of encouragement to me as a young growing Christian. I listened to the songs repeatedly such that the lyrics were life to me. I did actually Pledge Allegiance to the LAMB and my Anchor holds firmly in Christ despite all the storms of life. I join to pray that Ray returns fully to Christ and finds complete redemption through His Blood. Amen
Beloved Brother Ray, mercy through the blood of the Risen Lamb will speak for you and your messages on christ will pull you back to him in Jesus name. I being Muslim came to the saving knowledge of the lord Jesus Christ and being delivered from hell, so shall you too beloved Brother Ray🙏🙏 We love you brother,the church of Christ loves you❤❤❤❤
For all have sinned & fall short... May Ray Boltz truly repent & return to GOD - He's been deceived like so many others. After 7 good years of marriage as best friends as well, My ex long ago did the same - it was so unexpected, crushing & painfully difficult go through, then to watch him let his life & more descend for 9 years. When diagnosed with lymphoma - he finally repented, asked for forgiveness from GOD, me and his mom, 1 month before his death. So glad our son, our 2 grandsons, his amazing mom & I'll see him in Heaven. HalleluYah!
I pray Ray Boltz & all who left the faith of Jesus & living in sin will repent & turn back to the faith of Jesus & live holy lives. Keep us who remain in Your faith always faithful Lord Jesus.
No, is being true to himself. Is found his goodness now. Is more a friend of Christ now than when he was parroting things under a repressed self and he would still probably even to day pledge allegiance to the lamb and put his faith before his life. Would you reject him on that day? Claiming Lord Lord in your own righteousness. Answer this
@@therapeutichands767 There is never an excuse for sin. It doesn't matter how well you dress it up. If God calls it sin,so it is. Ours is not to condemn him but indeed to pray for him.
I have cherished this song for a significant period, dating back to my childhood. Now, as an adult, married with children, I truly comprehend its profound meaning. It's rapidly becoming one of my favorite Gospel songs. The message embedded here is weighty! For those who grasp the depth of it, may the Good Lord Jesus Christ bless you abundantly. All glory and honor to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
❤ Oh Dear Lord, You came to seek and save the lost. Lord, please go after Ray Boltz, go after all Your stolen flock, O Father in name of Jesus.... LORD save, LORD reatore... 😢😢😢
It's coming to this time! As a young girl I watched this song I was not a Christian then but I always desire to be. While listening to this song I made up mind of my choice . This song still minister to me todays date.
Welcome sister; this song was also an inspiration to me during childhood, and I am pleased to hear it has touched someone else the way it did me. This song always reminds me that throughout time (which is a concept our father has total control of,) many have accepted his promises including the right to ask and receive (including knowledge of his eternal kingdom).
I watched it as a child. I grew up in a godless family, heathen actually, but my one grandmother instilled revelations in me so hard. Her and her friend parlayed over me and I fell under the holy spirit for hours and had prophetic visions at 6. I have always been a prophet for the lord, but I strayed from him by 12 and just was baptized and born again at 34, he's now taking me into ministry and having me cast Devils from people. Thank God my grandmother was a ministering angel to me as a child. She passed on years and years and years ago, but this song will forever be in my heart. Thank God for bringing me back into the fold after 20 years as an occultist. I strayed far. Praise the LIVING MIGHTY GOD!
I pray for all of those who don't know that Jesus meets each one of us where we are at. My prayer for Ray is that he continue to forgive the Christians that turned their back on him because he is human.
My heart bleeds to know he has gone back to the world. Our prayers are strongly with him. Lord have mercy on him and make him realise his mistake and retrace his steps to the Lord soon in Jesus name Amen.
Listening to the song for the first time,the year 2023.... learning he has now left the Lamb, I break the hold of strongman/stronghold over your desires and draw you back to himself.....Amen
This song is busy bringing people to Jesus Christ and changing lives while the writer is languishing in sin, oh Lord show him mercy and snatch him from hell to your saving grace.😢
What a good music video. Ray Boltz who sang and composed "I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb." The music video was shot at the Colosseum in Rome, Italy; where it was the place of persecution of Christians when it was then outlawed in the Roman empire. A father was showing to his son some stories of people who kept their faith as Christians while being persecuted; while he was patiently waiting for his death sentence for his faith. There are some nations in the world that persecute Christians for their faith. But in some countries that allow freedom of worship and religion like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, we are guaranteed freedom of worship.
I am listening to this song with tears in my eyes, and most especially knowing that Ray Boltz changed into a homosexual. May the God of mercy pardon him. May He bring him back to grace and more so eternal life. Thank you Jesus for answering my prayer.
2024 just learning that this brother drifted back to sin. Father may you heal and save him and save us all, There is no greater sin in your eyes for we have all sinned and fallen short of your glory. Pardon us all ABBA father.
Heavenly Daddy, I pray for Ray Boltz. Thank You for the Ministry of Music he was anointed to Minister. Whatever happened that caused him to become heartsick and lose hope, I ask that You REKINDLE the seed, kindling, fire that You placed in him. Bathe him in Your Love, in Jesus Name. Amen 🙏🏻🤗❤️
May that lamb find you again our beloved brother for as many souls being blessed listening to this song and praying for you and others struggling different immoralities,God is a good father if some day you land and this and see people's comments you will know that God loves the best despite our filthiness and stubbornness, blessings everyone reading this, Jesus Christ loves us dearly ❤
Father please let this precious soul find your mercy once again his songs has done a lot for your kingdom please you are God you cab do anything do this for me lord in Jesus name
No matter the negative comments about his coming out, I still love him as a Brother in Christ and have no right or authority to judge him. That's between him and God. We all will have something to account for when we stand before God Almighty. No man can judge another ONLY God can do that.
My pastor sent me a quote 4 days ago it's read " God is more interested in our life than our ministry.Those who carries anointing are the main target of the devil,he can go to any length to bring them down "
Yes it’s my beloved in the Lord. but we are building our hopes on wishful thinking that it’s not it. God bless and keep you until we meet there beloved!
Ray Boltz is a gifted singer. As far as his private life is concerned, God gives everyone free will, He won't interfere with it, so why should we? All we should do as Christians is pray for him, and trust God. 🙏 My prayers go out to his wife....that God will give her the strength to make it through this.....God bless you dear lady,.....
l pray for you in tears. You gave ministered to us and it is our time to minister to you. Surely our God will not abandon you and has heard our prayers for you. Be still and stay strong. The Lord, our game changer is in your situations to restore and make everything new. Take Courage, Brother, we love you.
Ray, America needs your ministry severely! I ask you please come back to God. You helped millions and we miss and love you. We are Praying for you!!! Sonya Rattz
I don't understand how a person who sang about the allegiance, courage and resilience of the early believers could not resist the pull of his own flesh which is obviously wrong and silently declare a non allegiance.
Oh Lord you are mercyful and gracious, restore the soul of our brother from destruction. Lamb of God restore him back to yourself back to Calvary, back to heaven in Jesus name Amen
The enemy fights us as believers every day but our desire for Jesus must remain strong. The enemy can only overcome us when our desires for Christ Jesus is gone. Let us pray that our hearts desire for Christ Jesus gets stronger each day. We lift our brother up in prayers, Lord let Ray's desire for you be stronger than before and that he comes back from his setback.
I hope he return bk to the Lord..right now his eyes r clouded, he allowed the enemy to deceived him...let's kp him in our prayers. A man of this who God anointed and God blessed him to impacted millions. God created male and female check Genesis. He HV to rejects the world and embrace the cross. Its not SBT us its abt Christ. Satan is a liar those feeling are not real what he his feeling
We're Close to We're close we're close very close then this earth will be folded like a mat 😢😢. Lord please visit our brothers and sisters for salvation
True! If you have pledged allegiance to the Lord Jesus - The Lamb, The Holy spirit will transform you in either a click or slow and gradual change. But one thing is sure: "The old has gone, the new has come".
I will never deny Jesus I pledge allegiance to the lamb I love you Jesus Christ for ever you are my god and my Lord and my Savior and my teacher my Savior
I haven’t heard this song in decades and I’m glad I came across this video…thank You Lord! Brings back great memories of when I first saw this back in the 90’s ❤
Revelation: 6. 9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. - Bible Offline
is a very touching video...Those good Christians who were subjected to torture and death and yet refused to renounce our Lord Jesus....I say God bless them
The devil came to steal kill and destroy but through Christ Jesus that he promised to live for will deliver him. Let's keep praying for him.theres hope.
I too agree with you that this song is timeless. I first heard this song when my son was about two or three years old - now he's 25 years old and I'm still listening to it as if it's a new release, because of the message. We do not know how he got to that point in his life- it's sad and also unchristian. Rightly said let us pray for him that the merciful, loving, forgiving God would grant him mercy to return to the fold.
You are so right! I was delivered from years of Child Abuse suffered when I was only 3 years old because my mother had died and dad had to have a house keeper, who was a Satanist, even though dad did not know it at the time. I was delivered from the cycle of coping, not coping event o the point of suicide. Jesus, only Jesus can deliver freedom to love Him first, last and always. He told me He would never leave me or forsake me.
@@aknightwithadifference1649 Through the grace of Jesus, through His love and His revelation to me, I am doing great! I knoww my King, I know His incredible
This song has been so powerful throughout my whole life. Growing up I heard it every year at church camp, multiple times at youth conferences, revivals, church services and whatnot. His music has always had a huge impact on the Christian community.
@@battleborn1055Praying for you as well. Ray has left the lamb but l believe that the mercy of God will locate and the grace of God will restore him back to faith in Jesus name Amen
I pray to the Lord that he will know the Lord Jesus Christ, in the power of his resurrection to deliver his soul from this lifestyle. The devil is a liar from the pit of hell.

Ray Boltz who sang and composed "I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb." The music video was shot at the Colosseum in Rome, Italy; where it was the place of persecution of Christians when it was then outlawed in the Roman empire.
A father was showing to his son some stories of people who kept their faith as Christians while being persecuted; while he was patiently waiting for his death sentence for his faith.
There are some nations in the world that persecute Christians for their faith. But in some countries that allow freedom of worship and religion like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, we are guaranteed freedom of worship.
THESE SONGS RAISED ME! NOW I'M JUST STRUGGLING TO LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART... IN MY CHOICES. JUST LIKE RAY WE ALL NEED PRAYERS
I am listening to this song with tears in my eyes, and most especially knowing that Ray Boltz changed into a homosexual. May the God of mercy pardon him. May He bring him back to grace and more so eternal life. Thank you Jesus for answering my prayer.
I pledge allegiance to the Lord. Whether good or bad Jesus know that we are lifting every load together and fighting every battle together
2024 just learning that this brother drifted back to sin.
Father may you heal and save him and save us all, There is no greater sin in your eyes for we have all sinned and fallen short of your glory.
Pardon us all ABBA father.
May God's grace and mercy find him and bring him back to the Lord.
Apostle Orokpo Brought me here Father Mercy on your Servant
May God Remember you Great Servant of God ELROL who sees us
Heavenly Daddy, I pray for Ray Boltz. Thank You for the Ministry of Music he was anointed to Minister.
Whatever happened that caused him to become heartsick and lose hope, I ask that You REKINDLE the seed, kindling, fire that You placed in him.
Bathe him in Your Love, in Jesus Name. Amen 🙏🏻🤗❤️

Hello Sandra
How are you doing today?
@@thompsonsmith7798 hello brother I'm fine by His grace thank you and how are u, blessed week 🙏
@@sandraworship6947 I'm good thanks for asking
Where are you from if I may ask?
@@thompsonsmith7798 I'm from Uganda the Pearl of Africa sir,what about you
Father please let this precious soul find your mercy once again his songs has done a lot for your kingdom please you are God you cab do anything do this for me lord in Jesus name
No matter the negative comments about his coming out, I still love him as a Brother in Christ and have no right or authority to judge him. That's between him and God. We all will have something to account for when we stand before God Almighty. No man can judge another ONLY God can do that.
An abomination is not your "brother in Christ."
Telling people that a sin is a sin isn't judging them
@@SayItAintSo. God loves ALL people.
@Dragonfire1911 Make sure you're perfect like Jesus. He who is without sin, cast the first stone.
@@MsHighHeels1951 Who said anything about casting stones
My pastor sent me a quote 4 days ago it's read
" God is more interested in our life than our ministry.Those who carries anointing are the main target of the devil,he can go to any length to bring them down "
I pray that Ray comes back to the Lord!
It is starting again we need to stand together and pray! Hallelujah
Yes it’s my beloved in the Lord. but we are building our hopes on wishful thinking that it’s not it. God bless and keep you until we meet there beloved!
God alone is worthy to be praise 👏 🙌
I pray to God almighty in the name of Yeshua Christ to release him from every bondage that holds him down not to finish well.Amen
😭My God, am afraid of even telling Jesus i love him bcs many said nd now turned back, the race isn't easy 😭
Thank you for blessing us with this song Ray. Live your life. Jesus loves you always.❤
This takes me back to my childhood. This was song as a child
Father please show him mercy, and bring him back in Jesus name.
Ray Boltz is a gifted singer. As far as his private life is concerned, God gives everyone free will, He won't interfere with it, so why should we? All we should do as Christians is pray for him, and trust God. 🙏
My prayers go out to his wife....that God will give her the strength to make it through this.....God bless you dear lady,.....
That's a Great song. I will pray for him that the Holy Spirit will move on Ray and bring him back home.
Amen...
l pray for you in tears. You gave ministered to us and it is our time to minister to you.
Surely our God will not abandon you and has heard our prayers for you.
Be still and stay strong.
The Lord, our game changer is in your situations to restore and make everything new.
Take Courage, Brother, we love you.
Ray, America needs your ministry severely! I ask you
please come back to God.
You helped millions and we
miss and love you. We are
Praying for you!!!
Sonya Rattz
Sonya Rattz Ray, America needs your ministry! Amen sister
Thank you for coming out boldly. His Song brings Heaven on earth.
He never left.
I don't understand how a person who sang about the allegiance, courage and resilience of the early believers could not resist the pull of his own flesh which is obviously wrong and silently declare a non allegiance.
Oh Lord you are mercyful and gracious, restore the soul of our brother from destruction. Lamb of God restore him back to yourself back to Calvary, back to heaven in Jesus name Amen
The enemy fights us as believers every day but our desire for Jesus must remain strong. The enemy can only overcome us when our desires for Christ Jesus is gone. Let us pray that our hearts desire for Christ Jesus gets stronger each day. We lift our brother up in prayers, Lord let Ray's desire for you be stronger than before and that he comes back from his setback.
2020 and still going. Pledging to Jesus. Amen. Let 2,000 more years of this life to come if it be of His will. I pledge to the lamb!
2021 still here❤
I hope he return bk to the Lord..right now his eyes r clouded, he allowed the enemy to deceived him...let's kp him in our prayers. A man of this who God anointed and God blessed him to impacted millions. God created male and female check Genesis. He HV to rejects the world and embrace the cross. Its not SBT us its abt Christ. Satan is a liar those feeling are not real what he his feeling
Praying for you Ray. We still LOVE you brother. Come back to Christ. 😢
I'm Praying for You Ray Bolts🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏👑🐾🐾👑🐾🐾🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏
I pray for Ray bolts to come back to God and that he gets his life in order to start worship God 🙏
We're Close to We're close we're close very close then this earth will be folded like a mat 😢😢. Lord please visit our brothers and sisters for salvation
True! If you have pledged allegiance to the Lord Jesus - The Lamb, The Holy spirit will transform you in either a click or slow and gradual change. But one thing is sure: "The old has gone, the new has come".
We will defend the name of Jesus.Jesus is forever lord.
I will never deny Jesus I pledge allegiance to the lamb I love you Jesus Christ for ever you are my god and my Lord and my Savior and my teacher my Savior
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of Kings to the glory of God
This video is heart wrenching. May God bless you, Ray Boltz.
I haven’t heard this song in decades and I’m glad I came across this video…thank You Lord! Brings back great memories of when I first saw this back in the 90’s ❤
God is merciful and just and will forgive sins prayer changes everything
My prayers goes Ray Boltz nothing is too small for our God to do❤
What happened
Revelation: 6. 9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. - Bible Offline
Powerful!!!!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!!
God will never give up on anyone
He should listen to this song again and there will be a revival in his spirit
is a very touching video...Those good Christians who were subjected to torture and death and yet refused to renounce our Lord Jesus....I say God bless them
This song that makes me recommit every time I watch it. This old annointing thar still makes us kneel down and ask for forgiveness.
He is indeed our brother and we should pray for his repentance. This song is timeless. Praise God
I hope he has since come back
@@lavenderflowers1075Sure
Praise God for Ray Boltz' songs, one of the best gospel song writer ever
The devil came to steal kill and destroy but through Christ Jesus that he promised to live for will deliver him. Let's keep praying for him.theres hope.
I pledge allegiance to the lamb of God, I will forever love you LORD 🙏🙏
I too agree with you that this song is timeless.
I first heard this song when my son was about two or three years old - now he's 25 years old and I'm still listening to it as if it's a new release, because of the message.
We do not know how he got to that point in his life- it's sad and also unchristian.
Rightly said let us pray for him that the merciful, loving, forgiving God would grant him mercy to return to the fold.
The works of the flesh can overrun one spirit any moment if we give in to its passion and temptation, it doesn't matter if you are anointed or gifted.
Praying for Ray Boltz to return to JESUS
How great is our God
You are so right! I was delivered from years of Child Abuse suffered when I was only 3 years old because my mother had died and dad had to have a house keeper, who was a Satanist, even though dad did not know it at the time.
I was delivered from the cycle of coping, not coping event o the point of suicide. Jesus, only Jesus can deliver freedom to love Him first, last and always. He told me He would never leave me or forsake me.
I hope you're doing great today!
@@aknightwithadifference1649 Through the grace of Jesus, through His love and His revelation to me, I am doing great! I knoww my King, I know His incredible
@@1Daphdong That's beautiful. To God be the glory. Stay in faith and prayers.
This song has been so powerful throughout my whole life. Growing up I heard it every year at church camp, multiple times at youth conferences, revivals, church services and whatnot. His music has always had a huge impact on the Christian community.
@Sonia Anderson he never left Jesus
@@battleborn1055Praying for you as well. Ray has left the lamb but l believe that the mercy of God will locate and the grace of God will restore him back to faith in Jesus name Amen
@@ronkealonge8378 keep your prayers. I am right where i need to be with God. I would never want to be as close minded as someone like you
I will also say a prayer for Ray
Praying for brother Ray Boltz. May God bring you back sir. We love you and are praying for you 🙏
I pray to the Lord that he will know the Lord Jesus Christ, in the power of his resurrection to deliver his soul from this lifestyle. The devil is a liar from the pit of hell.
