In its statement on Tuesday, the Seventh-day Adventist Church alludes to Hudson, saying the person who hosts the media ministry where the Jones interview was posted is not a Seventh-day Adventist pastor.

Hudson, for his part, says he was born into the Seventh-day Adventist Church and was baptized in the year 2000, describing himself as an evangelist who "travels around and shares the message of Jesus."

His ministry, the Forerunner Chronicles, posted the video on its website.

On Tuesday, Jones released a statement apologizing for possibly offending the cast and crew of "Two and a Half Men" in the video.

"I have been the subject of much discussion, speculation and commentary over the past 24 hours," Jones says in the statement. "While I cannot address everything that has been said or right every misstatement or misunderstanding, there is one thing I want to make clear.

"Without qualification," the statement continues, "I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and Half Men with whom I have worked and over the past ten years who have become an extension of my family. "

The statement does not mention Jones' newfound faith. But Hudson says he talked to Jones on Monday and that "he is certainly maintaining himself quite well."

"I really have a great deal of respect for this young man," Hudson says. "He is mature beyond his years."
