I attended several services in the late 1970s where Brant was the visiting evangelist at Jerry Bernard's Christian Faith Center in San Diego. During the altar call, Brant was so engulfed with the Holy Spirit that he had to have 2 men hold him up while he went from person to person praying for them. Everyone was slain in the Spirit before he could even touch them, and that included me.
It was well known at that time that Brant was a "former" homosexual. I was also told that he had been engaged to a woman, but the engagement broke off before the wedding took place.

I attended many of Brant Baker’s healing rallies as well. Jerry Bernard http://daytonaicc.com/site/ was one of my favorite ministers for years as he hosted TBN often. Attending a service or healing rally does not mean you have done any research to find out the facts about Brant. There are websites devoted to Brant’s ministry.

Indeed Brant was called to do mighty works in the Lord Jesus Christ. No details about the above service is given so ones must assume Brant was quite the man of God to have such a move of the Holy Spirit. Nothing to disagree with because I know this by personal observation of his services.

FORMER implies an expert observation over a great long period of time. Actually there is no such thing as a former homosexual. There are bisexuals which indeed create quite a stir concerning deliverance. However, even bisexual are not changed to str8, they can live a great longer period pretending to be str8 while their testimonies and new spouse’s testimonies shows a never ending struggling to maintain this so called deliverance. If delivered then the struggle ends because if not str8 anymore you would have the hots for the opposite sex like any other str8. Now I read a lot about Brant’s last days and his last days was not that of a delivered homosexual. In fact he was much more relaxed to be himself and not be concerned what other thought. When stating terms like “former” you really need to back up what you say as statements verse real life often won’t match. It was not even 1980 yet and absolutely for sure there was no real roll models or quickly available materials concerning gays. All that was in place was a 700 yr anti-gay doctrine using 14 verses. Those verse were set into a doctrine to create scandal to purge powerful leader that did not agree with the main ideals. Those verses are talking about gang rape and male temple prostitutes and not gays. It is amazing in 2009 a Christian can even state delivered when talking about an era when gays had no sources of Bible fact or history to study. Also this was an age (1970s) that if you were a popular minister you had better tote the line or exactly what happened to Brant would happen to you. Paul Crouch erased Brant from the Christian record as soon as he learn Brant had aids. Only the last couple of years has anyone begun to revive the truth about Brant and his fantastic call from God. Brant and Lonnie Frisbee started a wonderful new age in Christianity that the Church adopted as its own. Benny Hinn replaced Brant at Paul Crouch’s desire to fill that emptied post.
I was also told that he had been engaged to a woman, but the engagement broke off before the wedding took place.
Rumors should be backed at least a little. Being told in the late 1970s that a former homosexual was engaged to an opposite sex was an easy scapegoat. Again, the 70s and 80s was a hey day for homophobes to present their pet bisexual weirdo to try to prove gays get delivered. They never follow up or present anything in the way of background, you have to do your homework to get to the root of how that bisexual got to the point to marry. It made me disgustedly sick to watch and hear these so called delivered gays. They were so pathetic. Funny a world with 600 million gays and all that homophobes could do is bring a mutant as a proof gays change to str8. You do not use the desperately sick person as an example of deliverance. Brant was not a mutant, aids was real horror and the church hated gays intently. Not a good setting for any human to be in. Brant today would have a million sites to go to find out about real Bible gays and gay history and Hebrew/Greek meaning of Bible words. He would not have to rely on established pastors as a guide to understanding difficult issues. Today Brant could stand up and continue his healing ministry. Yet he fulfilled what he was sent to do. He though dead is embolding many Pentecostal gays today to prepare to openly stand up as called of God Faith Healers.

I can tell you without a doubt that brant was gay, and that yes, he was engaged. I happen to know the girl personally. She broke off the engagement with him. The only reason he wanted to marry was to cover up rumors that he was gay. She sat between Brant's Mother and Father at his funeral. Her name is Lisa, I will not give her last name for her own privacy sake.
