Five years ago the Christian community were rocked by a CBN interview where a former satanist claimed he was still loved by God despite his sinister past.
In an interview on CBN News on March 15, 2017, the founder of the Greater Church of Lucifer, Texas, Jacob McKelvy opened up about how he and his wife had found forgiveness for their previous atrocities.
Mr McKelvy even went so far as to say 'God still loves me' after stepping away from his faith in the Devil just a month before.
He said: "The power and peace and wholeness that I feel today is far greater than anything that I've ever felt before.
"And to the people who are watching this, and I'm sure that people from my past will be watching this, I was wrong. I was deeply and sorely wrong.
"I created a Church to destroy dogmatic religion and he still loved me. So if he can still love me for me to be here today talking to you, then there are no excuses anymore."
The bloke had founded the Luciferian church on October 30, 2015, in Houston, Texas – a move which was strongly objected to and protested against at the time.
However, Pastor Robert Hogan of Spring First Church encouraged his church to pray instead of protest and it would appear that his prayers were answered as McKelvy and his wife severed ties with satanism and were baptised by Pastor Hogan on February 5, 2017.

Reports say the Pastor is working very closely with the couple to ensure they stay on the path of God.
Describing meeting the Hogan, the bloke said: "I have to say Robert's probably one of the best men I've ever met in my life. He's the real deal.
"No matter how far away from God you think you are. There is always a way home. I had this burning sensation to go in that church, so I did. Robert wasn't there that day but he called me back.

"We talked on the phone for two hours and then we set an interview for August 11th and we talked for 4 hours that day and I ended up giving my life over to Christ."
Since then, McKelvy's satanic Twitter account has cone unused and the Greater Church of Lucifer has closed its doors.
Rumours have it on some blogs that McKelvy has been living under a new identity since starting his new life but these claims have not been definitively proven.
