The unusually-sexy-for-her-occupation pastor Melissa Scott was once known as adult video star Barbie Bridges. In fact, yours truly met Melissa/Barbie at the Deja Vu Showgirls in Nashville, Tennessee in late 1994. I’d never heard of her before then. She just happened to be appearing there when I visited. She was billed as a former Playboy Playmate in one of their foreign editions. I got a chance to briefly speak with her there after one of her performances and when I did, I asked which issue she’d appeared in. I remember she replied in a stereotypical ditzy blonde voice; “all of ’em.” As I thanked her for the signed photo (above right), she said, “Sure hon. Can I have a hug?” Of course, I obliged.
Fast forward to just a couple of years ago, when I stumbled upon Barbie as her later incarnation, Melissa Scott, while late-night channel surfing. Naturally, I was curious about finding out a little more about such an attractive female evangelist. Without making the connection, since her physical appearance was quite different, I did some Googling and quickly found articles stating that Miss Scott was formerly known as adult video star and nude model Barbie Bridges. I was very skeptical at first. I mean, the sexy pastor that I saw delivering her sermon on television, seemed glib, articulate, and intelligent ….if not on the up-and-up, and Barbie seemed pretty ditzy when I met her at Deja Vu. However, after checking some credible sources, I learned it was true; they are one and the same person. A search of either name will yield many articles confirming it. One of the better ones is by Gretchen Voss at MarieClaire.com.

Praise the Lord for changing her life, and showing us "with God/Jesus", ALL things Are possible (forgiveness, grace, mercy, etc.) with 'Them'. Good for Pastor Scott.
Ha, here from Google, this signed photo is what I was browsing for. Wondered who the Chris was she signed the photo to.
I heard about her past, now I see it’s true. Praise the Lord.
Have you ever heard of Saul of Tarsus? He would bring in Christians to be killed and after became the greatest of all the Christian teachers.
What a person does in the past is not important, it is what he does in the future and one only has to answer to God. Is it not odd that some one who is criticizing another persons is in the same place throwing the first stone.
At least Paul freely admitted to his past. Big difference.
I know your comment was a long time ago and you may not get this but I hope it is somehow seen by others. But I’m so thankful for your words and kindness. I totally agree with your statement, why does the body alone feel the need to try to destroy others in the body of Christ and then get people from the world to jump on board? Lord help them, instead of crucifying them how about digging down deep as Christ demands us to Love one another as he has loved us, the biggest command he instructed the body to be. Plus She doesn’t have to look back in her past, because she doesn’t live there anymore.. so all you prideful idiots stop trying to pull her back in there, it’s one of the biggest sins that GOD HATES, is destroying a person’s character, “ if” you make it to glory, all those good deeds will be burned up as wood & stubble.. I just wish so-called believers would stop this mess, because that’s all they are is someone who believes In Christ Jesus but hey! You are not a Christian,because you are not even close to being CHRIST LIKE!! Far from it.. so sad to think this is still happening in our body of CHRIST, but no more just like people in A Church, because JESUS IS NOTHING LIKE THIS, so be sure YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT AS OUR BIBLE TELLS US, THE TRUE WORD OF GOD.. not your words but GODS WORD , that clearly you ignore.. this is my opinion but filled with our Lords teaching.. HOW ABOUT YOU PRACTICE IT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!! JUST SAYING..
She’s #9 on this list of top 10 reformed porn stars:

What is this obsession you men have with porn stars and what they are now doing? Concentrate on your own relationships with your wives and girlfriends! And don’t call yourselves “Christians”. Anyone obsessed enough to even write about this crap is into porn which is NOT CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOR, no matter what your excuse or argument is.
Yes, yes, …. yet here You Are, reading about it, … and writing about it.
Does this mean you also, are Not A Christian?? Just saying.
And NO, I didn’t get here by looking for porn, or reformed porn stars. Rather, I used to watch Dr. Gene Scott on UHF channel 30 in the Los Angeles area back in the 1970’s and early 80’s and remembering that, I did a search for Gene and all this hubub came up. I am not at all convinced this accusation about Melissa Scott is true. I’m also not totally convinced it is false either. I would need to investigate further. DOes that make me a depraved non Christian in your book ??
I have a question. In looking at some sites I have noticed that her timeline of nude pictures don’t seem to add up. There are pictures taken as late as 2010. How does that fit into pastor Scott’s ordination and taking over the day to day operations of the pulpit and church? Things don’t seem to be on the up and up or are TRANSPARENT OR ABOVE REPROACH. ARE THE LEADERS AMONG US ABOVE REPROACH BECAUSE WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ASK QUESTIONS?
It’s ok to publish questions and replies. What is there to hide? I say nothing if pastor Scott speaks 26 languages and has an IQ of 186 as I have read – then I only wish her the best of all good things. But if hiding unbecoming behaviors and actions that harm the people she claims to be helping is the case, then what is the problem ?
Look at the signed photo above, of Barbie Bridges, notice her chest size. Barbie Bridges in that signed photo has quite the rack, yes?
Look at any picture of Melissa Scott, watch any Melissa Scott video … No rack. Near zero chest size.
I am not at all convinced by these claims that these are the same person.
I don’t really care about her or her past. I like her study and presentation of the bible. That appeals to me. What she is today is what matters to me. She’s just the messenger.
She is still in the business of screwing though. Keep them donations coming!
