Just examine his life. Where was the ambition other than to minister Christ? Not at Westmoreland. Not in the local churches. Not since leaving around 1990has there been any indication of an ambitious brother desiring to raise up or to have his own ministry.
I'll say now as I've said before the ambition story is one used to explain why such a well loved and respected brother left the local churches. Some type of an angle had to be used to explain. To just give the brother grace and say he choose to leave wasn't good enough.
It could have been at the suggestion of Benson and Ray since they're ambitious, that John's leaving was due to ambition.
