Variety, Dennis Harvey wrote: Frisbee died of
AIDS in 1993, at age 44. As a last insult, his funeral service saw
Chuck Smith and others taking the podium to lament how the gifted Frisbee had fallen short of his potential. This remarkable story is told in a fast-paced, workmanlike mix of contemporary interviews and archival material, including footage from such documentaries of the period as “The Son Worshippers.” Soundtrack music flashes back to “
psychedelic Christianity,” including one song’s memorable lyric: “No more
LSD for me/I met the man from Galilee.” In
Good Faith Media, Tim Adams wrote:
Frisbee raises the stakes ... because the subject of this documentary was not only reported to have been involved in
homosexual activity, he was also reported to have performed
miracles. Liberal Christians that openly accept gay clergy in the name of inclusiveness and diversity might hesitate to accept a gay minister who
speaks in tongues, claims to have given sight to the blind or made the lame to walk. Conservative Christians might find themselves drawn to a mighty prayer warrior brave enough to walk in faith and claim the promises of scripture, but cast him aside if they found out he was involved in a same-sex relationship. Regardless of which side you might come down on, no one can deny that God’s hand was on Lonnie Frisbee. God used an obviously flawed and broken vessel to bring thousands of people into the kingdom—just like He did in the Bible. ==See also==
