00:00Marvin Sapp, pastor and gospel singer,

00:03he demanded that all of his congregation donate $20

00:08when they pass the offering around.

00:10Everybody?

00:11Now, he didn't just say, I want $20.

00:14Ushers, close the doors.

00:16Close the doors.

00:18Close the doors.

00:20Oh, my God.

00:21And he said, there's 1,000 of you here.

00:23If I get 1,000 online to give this,

00:25if I get 1,000 in the sanctuary to give this,

00:28that's $40,000 tonight.

00:30Well, wait, wait.

00:31He's basically saying nobody can leave.

00:34That's like kidnapping.

00:35Hold on.

00:36They're huge expenses for a church.

00:38I don't care.

00:39$20 is not a lot.

00:40I don't think there's anything wrong with what he did.

00:42I thought you'd like this.

00:44You're a salesman.

00:45I hate it.

00:46This is outrageous.

00:48You don't shut the doors.

00:50I would stand up, and I would say, out of the way,

00:53security guard.

00:54I'm out the door.

00:56Oh, my God.

00:57David, turn you upside down and shake the money out of your pocket.

01:03Close the doors.
