Pensacola Christian College's Deceitful Rhetoric On Bible Inspiration

Romans 16:17-18, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”

One of the most spiritually dangerous religious institutions today is Pensacola Christian College (PCC). Besides being a bigoted hateful cult that looks down their Pharisaical noses upon hurting sinners, the rabbit hole goes much deeper. PCC preach a counterfeit gospel called Lordship Salvation. They also deny that we have an inspired King James Bible.

Here is PCC's statement of faith. Like 99% of so-called "Bible colleges" today, they foolishly claim that only the "original autographs" were inspired.

Sadly, although by God's grace I gratefully graduated from Hyles-Anderson College on the Dean's List in 1993, as of 2008 neither the First Baptist Church of Hammond (FBCH), or the college believes that the King James Bible is inspired. I have sadly stopped supporting my home college since 2008, since they betrayed God's Word. Even Dr. Russell Anderson (1931-2023) himself, a godly man who I admire tremendously, demanded that the college remove his name from the institution, but they refused. Here is the open letter by Dr. Anderson, which you can read for yourself.

I am thankful that he gave permission for the world to read this. Dr. Anderson gave $35,000,000 to build HAC and keep it going. He also gave another $8,000,000 to build their new FBCH auditorium. In return, they threw him under the bus with the inspired King James Bible, because that godly saint of God knew the importance of upholding the inspiration of the King James Bible, and he was willing to lose everything to do it! That is a true soldier of Jesus Christ!!!

Some people wrongly think I just pick on PCC because they won't allow me to attend their Campus Church (they're doing me a big favor), but God knows that my battle is not as petty as some people might think. There is nothing more important today than the belief that we have an infallible, preserved, inerrant, inspired, Holy Bible today; because if we don't, then it opens a Pandora's Box that brings in a Trojan Horse of modern corrupt Bible revisions, leaving God's children at the mercy of flawed sinful Hebrew and Greek scholars to tell us what the truth is. I believe that the King James Bible is without error, verbally (every Word) and plenary (the whole canon) inspired by God.

Tragically, PCC and Calvinist Alexandrian cults like Bob Jones University don't believe we have an inspired Holy Bible today without error, and it is a trifle issue to them. The love of money is what matters most to PCC and BJU. Despite the lying rhetoric of the translators of all modern perversions, only the 1611 King James Bible was truly a literal translation of God's Word.

These apostates will all say the King James Bible is "preserved," but that's not the same as being "inspired." They plainly state that the only words without error are in the "original autographs." How is that preserved? If the King James Bible has errors in it, then what's the use of preservation? To say that the King James Bible has been preserved by God but still contains translation errors is insane! PCC contradicts themselves when they say that God has preserved his inspired Words, but now they are corrupt. Does that make any sense to you dear reader? I smell a dead rat.

If God's Words have been preserved, then they absolutely cannot contain errors. If the King James Bible does contain manmade errors, then no one can honest say that God's inspired Words have been “preserved.” It is common sense. What good is inspiration without preservation? I mean, what good would it have been for God to give His 100% absolutely perfect Words to humanity, if those Words became tainted and corrupted over the millenniums by flawed imperfect men?

And what good would preservation be, if it meant only partially preserving God's perfect inspired Words? Can anyone rationally call that preservation? Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) wisely contended that if even one verse in the Holy Bible is corrupt, then any verse could be corrupt, and we cannot know the truth. Dr. Hyles is right! Why would God only preserve His Words 98% of the way? Does that sound like the way God does things? Remember, rat poison is only 1% poison, the remaining 99% is edible healthy food. The Devil's Bibles only contain about 2% corruption (as compared to the King James Bible), but that tiny bit is deadly.

We read in 1st Corinthians 14:33 that God is NOT the author of confusion. Well, considering that we have literally HUNDREDS of English Bible versions to choose from today, I'd say we have nothing but confusion in our churches. The Devil is behind all that confusion, not our faithful and omnipotent God.

PCC, BJU and HAC (just a few of many more corrupt institutions today) are enemies of the inspired Holy Bible. There can only be one true Bible in any particular language. I believe that blessed Book in the English language is the inspired, inerrant and trustworthy, KING JAMES BIBLE. All others are corrupt. And remember, the King James Bible is not a mere “version,” it is God's inspired Holy Word.

Beware Of Demonic False Teaching In Old Hymns

2nd Corinthians 11:3-4, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”

I'll tell you, I often cringe in Baptist churches during the congregational singing. One of the songs that I dread singing is “Victory In Jesus,” when we get to singing the phrase “then I repented of my sin and won the victory.” Is that a biblical statement? No, it is not! What saith the Scripture? 1st John 5:4, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” As we just read from the inspired Holy Bible itself, the victory does NOT come from repenting of our sin; but rather, it is solely secured by our FAITH in Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

You see, it is our sinful human nature that always wants to add works to God's grace. This why when Adam sinned, he instinctively sewed together some fig leaves, attempting to atone for his own sins by his own works. God rejected Adam's fig leaf religion.

Likewise, Cain (the son of Adam and Eve) tried to please God with the work of his hands. Cain presented to God the best crops that his fields could produce. Again, God rejected man's self-righteous works. The Bible declares that a man can only be justified by faith. Habakkuk 2:4, “Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.”

Having laid a solid foundation, I would now like to analyze another popular religious hymn that we frequently sing in our Independent Fundamental Baptist churches (and is sung in many different church denominations). The song is called, “The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago,” in which we find some very disturbing phrases about repenting of our sins...

THE OLD ACCOUNT WAS SETLLED LONG AGO

1st Stanza:
There was a time, I know,
When in the book of Heaven,
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiven;
My name was at the top
And many things below,
I went unto the Keeper,
And settled long ago.

Refrain:
Long ago, long ago,
Yes, the old account was settled long ago;
And the record’s clear today,
For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago. 

2nd Stanza:

The old account was large,
And growing every day,
For I was always sinning,
And never tried to pay;
But when I looked ahead
And saw such pain and woe,
I said that I would settle,
And settled long ago. [Refrain]

3rd Stanza:

When at the judgment bar
I stand before my King,
And He the book will open,
He cannot find a thing;
Then will my heart be glad,
While tears of joy will flow,
Because I had it settled,
And settled long ago. [Refrain]

4th Stanza:

O sinner, seek the Lord,
Repent of all your sin;
For thus He has commanded,
If you would enter in;
And then if you should live
A hundred years below,
E'en here you’ll not regret it,
You settled long ago. [Refrain]

The fourth stanza is of the Devil...

“Repent of all your sin; For thus He has commanded, If you would enter in;”

What lies of Satan!!! Where does the inspired King James Bible command us to “Repent of all your sin... if you would enter in”? It doesn't, ungodly men corrupted the Gospel by fabricating those lies!!! It is tragic that some of the worst liars and deceivers today are pastors behind church pulpits. I say that kindly. The old adage is true: Be nice to everybody but trust no one.

No doubt some people would say that such word usage is merely a matter of semantics and we ought not make a big fuss over them. However, right doctrine matters! Although those hymnal lyrics may seem harmless, they do convey meaning which shape thoughts and conclusions. There is no more dangerous a Satanic lie in churches today than the falsehood that says you must repent of your sins to enter into God's kingdom. By “repent of your sins” they mean to turn away from your sinful bad habits and ways. Some mean for you to become a Christ follower in obedience for the rest of your life. Although these things are proper in their respective place, neither constitute part of the saving Gospel of free grace.

Bible repentance is simply “a change of mind” from unbelief to trusting Christ as your personal Savior. Bible repentance is admitting that you are a guilty sinner in the sight of a holy God, but it does not mean to turn from your sins. Dr. Mark G. Cambron (1911-2000) does an excellent job explaining the true Bible meaning of repentance. You need to know what you're being saved from, the penalty of sin, which is death (that includes the second death in Hell forever - Revelation 14:11, 20:11-15, 21:8). Jesus came into the world to save mankind from the penalty of our sins, by dying on a cross in our place. In theology we call this Christ's vicarious (substitutionary) death on the cross. Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay (2nd Corinthians 5:21).

Please beware of neo-evangelical churches and the wolves in sheep's clothing who lead those cults. Many of the popular church hymns that congregations gleefully sing every Sunday are as deadly as toxic waste. Remember, deadly rat poison is only 1% poison, the other 99% is wholesome food. Most of what Pastor John MacArthur preaches is great stuff. In many respects he is a brilliant Bible teacher, but because he is corrupt on repentance and the Gospel you cannot trust anything that Dr. MacArthur says.

The Roman Catholic Church (RCC) is right on many things biblically, but they are unfortunately wrong on many things, especially the most important thing, which is salvation. Even a broken clock is right twice a day! We must all diligently be alert, on guard, and ready to contend for the faith once delivered unto the Christian saints. We are walking through a minefield today in society of bad advice, unscriptural ideas, foolishness, heresy and hurtful things (Psalms 1:1-3). Search the Scriptures (John 5:39a).

“Repent” Is One Of The Most Misunderstood Words In The Bible

Luke 13:3, “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”

Sadly, the word "repent" is one of the most misunderstood words in the inspired Word of God. Most people think it means to turn from sin, or to be sorry for sin, or to be willing to turn from sin. But concerning salvation, repentance DOES NOT mean any of that. Repent means to change one’s mind. What must a person change their mind about to be saved? Is it change their mind about their sinning and to stop sinning (or be willing to turn from their sins)? NO, NO, AND NO. Well then, what must a lost person change their mind about TO BE saved? The context of the repentance verse will tell what the change of mind is about.

I think Michael P. Bowen, in his excellent defense of the Christian faith titled, I NEVER KNEW YOU, says it best:

I am at eternal odds with the false, counterfeit messages of salvation-by-works that are taught from virtually every pulpit today, on every television channel, and on every Christian radio station; however, I am not at eternal odds with the individuals who preach these counterfeit messages. My heart literally goes out to all of them because they simply do not understand Christ’s plan of salvation. They have been lied to by a crafty enemy named Satan, whose sole aim is to take as many people with him to the lake of fire as he can possibly manage to steal away from God using a counterfeit plan of salvation that appears so real, so genuine, and so holy that few ever realize they have been deceived by it. Oh reader, so many of today’s professing Christians who think they are going to heaven when they die are not going to make it to heaven as they had assumed because they’ve been lied to by today’s error-filled gospel messages.

Repentance is not a separate act from faith, although they are not the same thing. Here is the best quote that I've found on repentance, by Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951):

“Which comes first, repentance or faith? In Scripture we read, 'Repent ye, and believe the gospel.' Yet we find true believers exhorted to 'repent, and do the first works.' So intimately are the two related that you cannot have one without the other. The man who believes God repents; the repentant soul puts his trust in the Lord when the Gospel is revealed to him. Theologians may wrangle over this, but the fact is, no man repents until the Holy Spirit produces repentance in his soul through the truth. No man believes the Gospel and rests in it for his own salvation until he has judged himself as a needy sinner before God. And this is repentance.” ('Except Ye Repent,' p. 16)

The only thing that we need to repent from to be saved is UNBELIEF. Do we have to realize our sinful condition to be saved? Yes, of course, but there is not one verse in the entire inspired Holy Bible which requires a person to forsake sinning to be saved.

Nor does the Bible give anyone God's permission to commit sin just because they are saved (Romans 3:31, 5:20, 6:1). Every time Jesus forgave someone and healed them He AFTERWARDS said to them, “Go and sin no more.” John 5:14, “Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.” I personally think that this man had once commit a sin (perhaps a sexual sin) that caused his physical ailment. I humbly think the dear Lord was warning him not to do the same sinful thing again, lest he end up even worse off than before!

Repentance simply means “a change of mind.” Believers change our minds every day about all kinds of things, including the sins in our life. Repenting of sins throughout one's Christian life is solely a matter of DISCIPLESHIP, not SALVATION. It is a matter of growing in the Lord's grace (1st Peter 2:2), as we yield to the Holy Spirit's leading in obedience to the Holy Scriptures (2nd Corinthians 10:5; Galatians 5:22-25).

For example: Jesus said in Mark 1:15b, “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” He told them that they needed to change their mind to believe the Gospel. What was the change of mind about? Well, what did they have to change their mind about to believe the Gospel? The change of mind was either about their unbelief or about the Gospel itself. But either way, if they changed their mind, it would cause them to believe the Gospel.

Acts 20:21 mentions "repentance toward God." That’s a change of mind toward God. Jesus is God (1st Timothy 3:16 KJV). To be saved, we must change our mind about who Jesus is, and put our faith in him. Jesus is God, “who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe” (1st Timothy 4:10b).

A changed life is the FRUIT of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and NOT a prerequisite to salvation or a part of saving-faith. Proponents of Lordship Salvation place the cart before the horse and have it all backwards. They frontload the Gospel, requiring all the mature aspects of a believer's life upfront. This is not the Gospel, it is bad religion.

In Mark 1:4, John the Baptist speaks of “...repentance for the remission of sins”; NOT “repentance of sins.” Acts 20:21 reads... “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." Notice that Biblical repentance is “TOWARD GOD.” In Acts 11:21 we read, “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” So you see, in the Bible “repentance” was always “TOWARD GOD,” never from sin. A man may have to repent from the denial of his sins, so that he will BELIEVE THE GOSPEL, but there is no Biblical requirement to “turn from sins” to be saved.

Consider the following quote by the mighty man of God, Dr. Harry Ironside (1876-1951)...

"Repentance is the recognition of my sinnership — the owning before God that I am as vile as He has declared me to be in His holy Word."

SOURCE: 'Except Ye Repent,' by Dr. Harry Ironside, chapter 3

This is vastly different than actually ceasing from one's sin to be saved, which is a false gospel. Pastor Ironside is correct — repentance is simply realizing that one is a guilty, dirty, rotten, hopeless sinner in God's eyes. This is why we need a Savior. Thankfully, Jesus paid the price with His own literal precious blood (1st Peter 1:18,19; Hebrews 9:12).

Repentance is the admission that I am as guilty a sinner as a holy God hath declared me to be in His Holy Word (Romans 3:19). This is Biblical repentance... turning to the Lord. To turn towards Jesus Christ in faith for salvation is to turn one's back against sin, even though the person may not be willing to forsake sin at the time of salvation. It is ludicrous for anyone to teach that a lost sinner must give up their sins to be saved. As we saw with Lot and Samson in the Old Testament, and Demas and Peter in the New Testament, not all believers always live for God. Jesus even called the apostle Peter, “Satan” (Matthew 16:23).

Christian author Michael Patrick Bowen states in his excellent book titled, “I NEVER KNEW YOU,” on page 114...

“Repent, as Christ meant it to be in terms of salvation, means to change your mind from trusting in what you can do for God to trusting only in what He can do for you.”

SOURCE: Michael Patrick Bowen, a quote from the awesome book, “I NEVER KNEW YOU” (Page 114)

The beloved Pastor Bob Gray Sr. of the Longview Baptist Temple church in Texas correctly preaches . . .

“Repentance means to change your mind—change your mind—change your mind about how you want to get to Heaven to what God says you've got to do to get to Heaven. If you've got to repent of all your sins, you're still headed for Hell tonight.”

SOURCE: Pastor Bob Gray Sr., a quote from the awesome MP3 sermon, 'Why You Should Be A Part Of A Growing Church'

Pastor Tom Cucuzza makes this tremendous helpful statement:

“The Devil is doing his greatest work behind pulpits. [I] hate to say it, but that's the truth; because people have the presupposition that when you come to church and somebody gets up to speak, that person is speaking truth. That's the way we've been raised.” —Pastor Thomas M. Cucuzza, “Important Truths Satan Does Not Want You to Know”

Lordship Salvation is a LIE STRAIGHT FROM HELL. If your pastor teaches a wrong meaning of Bible repentance, you should find a better church, because that pastor is doctrinally corrupted. The Bible plainly teaches in Romans 4:4 that if salvation had ever been by works, then it was a debt God owed and not by grace. That settles the debate.

You Don't Have To Be Water Baptized To Go To Heaven

Acts 16:27-31, “And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

I am continually disturbed that billions of religious people altar God's simple plan of salvation. Most pastors nowadays are guilty of embellishing the Gospel. To get to Heaven, they add the unbiblical requirement to turn away from your sinful bad habits, follow Jesus as the "Lord" of your life, water baptism, et cetera. God doesn't require these things to be saved, that is, born-again from above by the Holy Spirit of God. Very few religious people understand that they cannot enter into God's Kingdom without being born anew by the Holy Spirit.

So, how does a lost sinner get saved? It is very simple, you simply by faith receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that He was buried but then miraculously and physically resurrected from the dead three days later. This is The Gospel, i.e., THE GOOD NEWS, by which all who BELIEVE IT are instantly, irrevocably and forever saved (1st Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 1:16).

Nowhere in the Old or New Testaments can you show me where it teaches that water baptism is necessary to be saved. Only a false prophet says otherwise! Paul said in 1st Corinthians 1:17, “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.” I once showed this Bible verse to a Church of Christ minister (their cult errantly teaches that you MUST be water baptized to get to Heaven), and he said that Paul's disciples did the baptizing instead. That is gross theological incompetence! He is guilty of embellishing the Scripture to fit his agenda.

The Apostle John penned the Epistle of John. This same beloved John wrote the Gospel of John, which according to John 20:31 is God's gospel tract, sowing sinful humanity how to get to Heaven. Now in the Epistle of 1st John, the disciple shows believers how to "know" that we are saved (1st John 5:13). Many Bible students misunderstand the Epistle of 1st John, errantly concluding that 1st John 3:8 teaches you are not saved if you still commit much sin. That is a misinterpretation of this passage. 1st John 3:24 tells us that the only evidence someone is saved is the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit of God. So, if you love your sinning and have no conviction from the Holy Spirit whatsoever, then you might not be saved. I can tell you assuredly that you are not saved if you do not have the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9). That is what the Epistle of 1st John is about, and that John is trying to get across to the reader.

Carefully notice in all of the Epistle of 1st John that not once does he mention any form of baptism. If, as the Church of Christ cult foolishly teaches, water baptism were required to get to Heaven, then John definitely would have mentioned the need to be water baptized, but he didn't. That plainly settles the matter! 1st John 5:4, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”

No one in the Old Testament was ever water baptized to be saved.

The thief on the cross didn't get baptized, yet Jesus promised they'd be together in Paradise that very same day because of the man's faith.

Unless you are foolish enough to believe that God allows different ways to enter into Heaven, then you must agree biblically that there is only one Gospel (Galatians 1:6-8).

Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do.

Wicked Unbelieving Jews Are Not God's Chosen People

Exodus 19:5-6, “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:  And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.  These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” That's a big "IF."

In the Old Testament the Jews rebelled against God. The book of Ezekiel documents how the Jews went into spiritual adultery (idolatry), for which God divorced the nation of Israel.

Hebrews 8:9, “Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.” Now, if God regarded them not for their wickedness and idolatry, then why do so many foolish Christians regard the modern nation of Israel today? It is folly.

Beware Of Ray Comfort's False Gospel

Galatians 1:6-8, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

One of the most dangerous FALSE PROPHETS today is Evangelist Ray Comfort. Sadly, this man is honored and accepted in many Baptist churches and Bible colleges today, but he should be avoided and banned as a hellbound infidel. On page 1197 of "THE EVIDENCE BIBLE," Ray Comfort comments on Matthew 7:22-23...

"These are perhaps the most frightening verses in the Bible. Vast multitudes of professing Christians fit into the category spoken of here. They call Jesus 'Lord,' but they practice lawlessness. They profess faith in Jesus, but have no regard for the divine law. They tell 'fibs' or 'white' lies, take things that belong to others, have a roaming eye for the opposite sex, etc. They are liars, thieves, and adulterers at heart, who will be cast from the gates of heaven into the jaws of hell."

SOURCE: "THE EVIDENCE BIBLE," by Ray Comfort, p. 1197; 2003, Bridge-Logos Publishers, Orlando, Florida

Dear reader, Ray Comfort is preaching the Devil's lie of LORDSHIP SALVATION! If what Ray teaches is true, then everyone is going straight to Hell when we die, because everyone still commits sin. If having a “roaming eye for the opposite sex” means that someone is unsaved, then most people are going to spend eternity burning in the Lake of Fire. What Ray is doing is foolishly combining sanctification with justification, and in so doing he corrupts the inspired Word of God and casts stumbling blocks before the people.

Read what Pilgrim's Progress author John Bunyan (1628-1688) wisely wrote:

“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —Evangelist John Bunyan

My ministry friend Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold accurately defines Lordship Salvation:

“Lordship Salvation is the unsupportable and unbiblical belief that the performance of good works, the promise of good works, or the evidence of good works, must accompany faith in Christ to establish or provide evidence that such faith has resulted in eternal life.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, “Jesus Versus John MacArthur”

Ray Comfort is heretically saying that if you're still living in sin, you're not saved. Kindly said, Ray is a theological LIAR! Friend, EVERYBODY lives in sin, I don't care who you are! The ONLY thing that makes a Christian believer any more righteous in GOD'S SIGHT than convicted serial murderer John Wayne Gacy (1942-1994) is the precious blood of Jesus Christ that washed all our sins away (James 2:10; 1st Peter 1:18-19; 1st Corinthians 6:9-11). Apart from the sin-cleansing blood of the slain Lamb of God, you and I are no more righteous than Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), Al Capone (1899-1947) or Ted Bundy (1946-1990). THANK GOD FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS!!!

Please beware of Ray Comfort's partial faith in Christ PLUS works counterfeit plan of salvation. Jesus has already paid your debt of sin dear friend, and He doesn't need your help to reform yourself of sin to get to Heaven. The very idea is preposterous!

Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty!

The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.

Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.

Turning away from sinful ways would be a work. Faith puts all of the merit where it belongs, on the object of our faith, Jesus and His work.

If to “repent” means to forsake our sinful ways TO BE SAVED, but Jesus already paid for our sins by dying on the cross, then what are we repenting from?

A Correct Interpretation of Matthew 7:21-23

I have included verse 21 also...

Matthew 7:21-23, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

The correct interpretation of Matthew 7:21-23 is that trusting anything more than Jesus alone (i.e., relying upon what He did through Calvary's cross to save you) cannot produce the new birth which is required to enter into God's Kingdom. John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” The will of God the Father concerning getting saved is that you BELIEVE ON JESUS!!! That's it, that's all, no more.

Sadly, Ray Comfort says that MORE is required. According to Ray you must live a lifestyle of repentance. Please don't take my word for it, read for yourself what Mr. Comfort horribly teaches this woman in this transcript from Living Waters:

“So if the plane goes down, you'd end up in Hell! There are two things you have to do to be saved. Do you remember what they are? I told you what they are—You've got to repent and trust the Savior! ... God's offering you everlasting life upon your repentance and faith in Christ. Who in his right mind wouldn't say, 'Whoa! That's a good offer!' (The curious woman asks what it means to “repent”?)... Have you ever said you're sorry to someone you did something wrong to? That's all repentance is—You've sinned against God; it's a matter of saying, 'God, I'm sorry,' and then LIVING A LIFESTYLE that proves the reality of your repentance. That's what repentance is, it's a continual thing! God, 'I'm sorry, but I'm not going going to lie or steal or blaspheme Your name ever again. It has that attitude! And the second thing—trust in Jesus!” [emphasis added]

SOURCE: Evangelist Ray Comfort, “I've never killed anyone” (MP3 clip from video)

Dear reader, I triple-dog dare you to show me even one verse from the Holy Bible that teaches that “LIVING A LIFESTYLE” is required as part of being saved. You cannot! Now my friend, “a double-dog dare” is serious business, but a triple-dog dare is something you don't want to mess around with! I triple-dog dare you to show me even one Bible verse that agrees with these false statements by Ray Comfort.

The Gospel of John is God's Gospel track. John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” PLEASE DON'T MISS THAT! God authored the Gospel of John specifically so “that believing ye might have life through his name.” That means we don't need any other Scripture than what is found in the Gospel of John to be saved. Where in the Gospel of John are we taught that, “LIVING A LIFESTYLE,” is necessary to receive eternal life? You cannot! Mr. Comfort is a bold-faced theological liar! Ray is ADDING to the Gospel, perverting it! This means Mr. Comfort is accursed by God. Galatians 1:9, “As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” I didn't say that, almighty God did!

Furthermore, where in the Gospel of John are we taught that to be saved, we must have a drastic change of attitude that is resolved to reform? Ray errantly says to be saved we must have the new attitude, “GOD, I'M SORRY, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LIE OR STEAL OR BLASPHEME YOUR NAME EVER AGAIN!” And then he horribly says, “IT'S A CONTINUAL THING!” None of this is biblical! There is absolutely nothing in the Gospel of John about having a sincere desire to reform our ways, clean up our life of sin, turn over a new leaf, do better, forsake the world, turn away from sins, nor any other garbage that false prophets are teaching nowadays in churches, poisoning people with their lies!

Jesus wasn't teaching in Matthew 7:21-23 that you're not saved if you haven't reformed your life! The dear Savior is simply saying that you cannot get into heaven SOME OTHER WAY! John 10:1, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” Kindly said, Ray Comfort is a thief and a robber! Why? It is because instead of simply walking through the DOOR of Jesus (John 10:9), he is trying to climb up some other way into Heaven by turning away from living a lifestyle of sinning, which is WORKS and not GRACE (Romans 4:4; 11:6). Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do.

Telling The Truth Upsets People

Galatians 4:15-17, “Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.”

This is a remarkable passage of Scripture. The book of Acts tells us that the Apostle Paul made three missionary journeys. Each journey started from the city of Jerusalem and ended back at the city of Jerusalem. On the first missionary journey, the apostle traveled to Asia Minor (which is the modern-day country of Turkey). On Paul's second and third missionary journeys, he traveled with the Gospel through Asia Minor to Greece.

In our text passage, Paul reminds the churches of Galatia that previously they had been willing to pluck out their own eyes to give him. This statement in Galatians 4:15 is why many theologians think Paul's “thorn in the flesh” was very poor eyesight. Why else would Paul need their eyes? At the time of the writing of the Epistle of Galatians, medical procedures were still extremely limited and primitive. In 2024, you can actually donate your eyes to someone else, and it is medically possible to transfer eyeballs. We are living in amazing times of technology, and if the Lord tarries His return, science will only continue to increase exponentially.

Paul said the Galatian churchgoers would have donated their eyes to him, if it were medically possible, so that he could continue laboring more effectively for Christ. Yet, Paul is frustrated that things have changed. The circumstances have deteriorated! These dear folks who would have donated their eyes to Paul now consider him their enemy! Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” You couldn't make this stuff up! I mean, why would someone count you as their enemy for telling them the truth that is for their own good? In the case of the Galatians, the information Paul was giving them (that offended them so much) was regarding God's plan of salvation. Wow!

Please don't miss this dear reader. We're talking about the difference between spending eternity walking the streets of gold in Heaven, versus suffering in the burning fires and torments of Hell forever. The truth which Paul had given them greatly offended them, so much so that they counted Paul as their enemy. This is mind-blowing!!! Paul was looking out for their welfare. He didn't want to see them cast into the Lake of Fire one day because they'd been deceived to follow a false gospel. Paul was their best friend in the world! Yet, they considered Paul a threat to their churches, and they blackballed and shunned him as a troublemaker.

Are you as shocked as I am? This is crazy! I mean, the greatest soulwinner the world had ever known—the Apostle Paul, who had started these churches in Galatia and taught them the Gospel—is now public enemy number one! Goodnight in the morning!!! How does that even happen? How does a Bible preacher go from being so respected that his followers are willing to pluck out their eyes to give him, to despising him as a lying false prophet for telling the truth? This shows the deceptive nature of the human heart. Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

Throughout the Bible we learn that humanity is easily tricked by sin, self and the Devil. Eve was deceived by the serpent in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1-7). Cain was deceived by self-righteousness. Isaac was deceived by Rebekah and Jacob. Jacob was deceived by his wicked sons concerning what really happened to his wife Rachel's son, Joseph. I could go on and on naming people who were deceived in the Word of God. Proverbs 16:25, “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

One of the most disturbing passages of Scripture gives us an account of a group of deceived false prophets. Matthew 7:21-23, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” It is clear to see that they were very sincere. They had good intentions, but the highway to Hell is paved with good intentions.

It is sadly an inherent part of our sinful human nature to believe lies, if those lies appeal to and satisfy our senses, ambitions, conscience, pride and desires. The crafty serpent (Lucifer) lied to Eve, appealing to her desire to control her own life instead of God. By doing so, the serpent knew that it would be much easier to convince Eve to disobey God. She rationalized that eating the forbidden fruit would be “good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise” (Genesis 3:6b). Lucifer was able to compel Eve to sin by appealing to her vanity, pride and selfish desires.

Likewise, the Galatian churchgoers were proud. They wanted to be accepted in the religious community. They had the same problem as Pensacola Christian College (PCC) today. PCC wants to be accepted by their peers among thousands of Independent Baptist Churches. The vast majority of Baptist churches today have succumbed to the lie of Satan that you must “turn from your sinful bad habits” to get to Heaven. That is another gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). Not one verse in the inspired King James Bible teaches to forsake our sinful ways to be saved. Jesus Christ died on a cross to pay for our sins (Romans 5:6-9), He does not demand that we first commit to reform our life of sin to receive God's free gift of eternal life.

The True Gospel of Free Grace

By God's grace, I have been faithful to preach THE TRUTH of a free grace Gospel, without works. The Gospel is the “Good News” that:

1. Jesus died on a cross to pay our debt of sin.
2. He was buried.
3. Jesus physically resurrected from the dead three days later.

These THREE elements comprise “the gospel.” We don't hear these truths emphasized enough in pulpits, tracts, videos, radio and books today. God pity the bad pastors who refuse to contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3). By God's grace, I am telling THE TRUTH. 

Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty!

Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.

Turning away from sinful ways would be a work. Faith puts all of the merit where it belongs, on the object of our faith, Jesus and His work.

If to “repent” means to forsake our sinful ways TO BE SAVED, but Jesus already paid for our sins by dying on the cross, then what are we repenting from?

The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.

Anyone who comes to God as a needy sinner, receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that Jesus was buried, but then miraculously raised up bodily from the dead the third day, is saved. Nothing more is required. Just believe that Jesus did it all for you.

The Cult At Harvest Baptist Church On Guam

For telling THE TRUTH, I have been kicked out of numerous churches, then ostracized, shunned, despised, rejected and banned from returning. I was forced out of the shameful Harvest Baptist Church ion Guam in 2014. I lost my church family. Harvest's senior pastor Marty Herron in his ungodly pride, arrogance and woeful theological ignorance threw me under the bus, and left me for dead. Marty Herron is an evil false prophet!

Because Pastor Herron was the Lordship Salvation cult's leader, he successfully turned all my neighbour's that still attended Harvest against me. For the next several years when I regularly waved to greet my neighbours (many whom worked on staff at Harvest's religious school), they refused to acknowledge me as a human being. I was sinfully ostracized like Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer (for my bright glowing King James Bible only red nose). Harvest Baptist Church on Guam used dozens of different corrupt Bible revisions, alongside the King James Bible. It was a house of confusion. Acts 19:32, “Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.” Satan is the author of confusion, not God (1st Corinthians 14:33).

Marty Herron and company (from Bob Jones University cult where he graduated) have MUCH blood on their hands for preaching another gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!! You should see the hateful looks that I still get when I go to churches, from churchgoers whose foolish pastors haven't warned them about anything. These naïve churchgoers (I intentionally am reluctant to call them “Christians”) despise those like me who contend for the faith. They look at my website ministry and count me as their enemy, just like they did the Apostle Paul, merely because he TOLD THE TRUTH.

The Cult At Pensacola Christian College

When I moved from the island of Guam to Pensacola in 2021, I chose to attend Campus Church at PCC. Boy was that a big mistake! Their ungodly senior pastor Jeff Redlin was abusive verbally. He scolded me for sharing my broken life with him, and mentioning that I hoped to find a wife after being divorced for 15 years. What a wicked selfish jerk! PCC are out of touch with reality. Once divorced, they insanely think at PCC that you're never allowed to remarry. In sharp contrast to PCC's lunacy, the Bible teaches that to avoid the sin of fornication, every man should have his own wife (1st Corinthians 7:1). By refusing to accept single people who desire to remarry, PCC are promoting fornication; just as the wicked Roman Catholic church does by forbidding marriage (1st Timothy 4:1-3). PCC is a cult!

I was kicked out of Campus Church and banned from returning (as of August 2nd, 2022). Jeff Redlin and company have MUCH blood on their hands, for preaching another gospel; and for treating divorced people like garbage. God's judgment is upon the self-righteous cult at PCC!

I have been attending numerous Baptist churches around Pensacola. I meet some hostile people in churches, who idolize the cult at PCC and are upset at me for daring to criticize the gods at PCC. They give me dirty looks. One man literally pointed at me with his finger during a revival service, accusing me of judging others. It just shows how woefully brainwashed he has become by his pastor, another PCC idolater.

In case you don't know, there are thousands of religious people who sing nothing but praises for egotistical PCC leadership and their shameful Campus Church pastors. When one guy like me comes along (a courageous truth-teller) who criticizes and exposes them, all hell breaks loose. Some rotten people want me banned from every church I attend. I am counted as their “enemy,” just like they sinfully did to the Apostle Paul for telling the truth.

I get dirty looks from people all the time, just like the prophet Jeremiah did. God told Jeremiah not to be dismayed by their faces. Jeremiah 1:8, “Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 1:17, “Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.” I don't care if every churchgoer, pastor's wife and pastor hates, detests, despises, rejects and criticizes me, I WON'T STOP PREACHING THE TRUTH!!!

I have received many dirty looks from people at church for handing them a hard copy of Michael P. Bowen's excellent book in defense of a free grace Gospel, "I NEVER KNEW YOU." The book exposes ten big name false prophets, popular preachers who embellish God's simple plan of salvation. Most brainwashed churchgoers nowadays cannot handle THE TRUTH that they have been deceived by Satan.

Sadly, 99% of pastors just want to build the church's attendance higher. They want to generate more income, always looking to add more tithing members to the church. Less than 1% of pastors today are willing to lose church members and money in favor of THE TRUTH. So no one wants to cause waves, especially with a Goliath institution like PCC. If local churches get of PCC's bad side, it can greatly hurt their ministry, considering that PCC does a lot to help local churches. But just because PCC does “many wonderful works” (Matthew 7:21-23), doesn't justify them preaching a Satanic counterfeit plan of salvation.

I refuse to go along to get along with some giant pompous organization like Pensacola Christian College, who have grown too big for their britches. PCC's leaders are cocky and have huge egos. Their leaders are full of arrogance. Evidence to support this fact is that I am presently banned from attending their Campus Church. Only religious CULTS selectively care about people, deciding who matters and who doesn't. ALL LIVES MATTER to God. Sadly, at PCC only SOME LIVES MATTER, just like with the Calvinists.

Telling THE TRUTH Makes Enemies

Telling THE TRUTH upsets a lot of people. 1st Kings 18:17, “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?” When you tell THE TRUTH, some people will become offended and get mad at you. Truth is only HATE to those who hate the TRUTH. PCC ought not be preaching wrong repentance. PCC ought not be preaching Lordship Salvation (which is a form of Calvinism). PCC ought not be wickedly bidding Godspeed to the Calvinist, Lordship Salvation, cult at Bob Jones University (BJU). 

Kindly said, PCC is in a cesspool of iniquity and a rotten mess today! They are so arrogant that they refuse to listen to reason. I kindly tried to talk with Pastor Redlin in 2021 and 2022, but he was belligerent and abusive, refusing to heed THE TRUTH. I gave him my mobile phone number so we could talk, but Jeff Redlin is a coward. He has blood on his hands and must answer to God for corrupting the Gospel (Galatians 6:7; Hebrews 4:13). Since PCC leadership wickedly sanctions his carnality and heresy, they are willing accomplices. God's curse is upon PCC, BJU and anybody else who spreads lies and false teachings. You don't have to be willing to forsake your sinful bad habits to be saved (as PCC falsely teaches). That is reformation, not Bible repentance!

It is in our sinful human nature to merely go along with the crowd. This weakness in human character makes it very easy for cult leaders to thrive. Pensacola Christian College (PCC) has a cult stronghold on many churches in the city of Pensacola, and they know it. PCC are bullies, just like they are bullying me! Because I don't go along with PCC's religious circus, I am despised and hated, bullied from returning Campus Church. You should see the looks of contempt that I receive from people, especially the younger brainwashed students at PCC. If looks could kill I'd be dead.

Telling the truth has never been popular. It was telling the truth that landed John Bunyan (1628-1688) in prison for 12 years. Yet, when I told the same Gospel truth, I was banned from attending PCC's Campus Church. I kindly told PCC's senior pastor Jeff Redlin that they are wrong on repentance. In their Foundation's Class, Campus Church errantly teaches, quote: “Repentance is a change of mind resulting in a change of behavior.” But don't take my word for it, here is an actual screenshot from their Foundation's Class...

Damnable Heresy is Taught At Pensacola Christian College

I handed a hard copy of Michael P. Bowen's book, "I NEVER KNEW YOU," to a young ministerial PCC graduate recently. The book offended him! You should see the angry faces he makes at me. I can feel his contempt. This is what THE TRUTH does to people. PCC are wickedly pulling on the same rope as the Devil. They are wrong on repentance; and therefore, wrong on the Gospel. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!

I just wrote a blog exposing Evangelist Johnny Pope, who preaches a counterfeit Gospel. Johnny Pope was invited in 2024 to preach at PCC. Birds of a feather flock together. Mr. Pope preaches a false plan of salvation, as does PCC. For speaking THE TRUTH, I am despised, hated and rejected by these wicked institutions. Only one viewpoint is allowed at PCC, theirs. I make no apologies for TELLING THE TRUTH. I make no apologies for offending those who reject knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

Carefully notice in Hosea 4:6 that it was the Jewish religious leaders (the priests, pastors) who deliberately rejected God's knowledge (truth). PCC and their incompetent Campus Church pastors reject THE TRUTH. I am just a dog, but the Bible says “for a living dog is better than a dead lion.” (Ecclesiastes 9:4b). Pastor Jack Hyles was a lion, but his time on earth is done. I am just a dog, but I am still alive here on earth, and the Bible says a living dog is better than a dead lion! I may be a dog, but by God's grace I intend to keep barking at the wolves in sheep's clothing at PCC, BJU and other pseudo-Christian institutions today! It may be a light thing to you to preach another gospel, but I know it is a matter of critical importance!

Thousands of people can support a religious institution like PCC, and everyone is okay with that; but just let one truth-teller like me criticize PCC for the horrible way that they disregard unwanted people, and their false plan of salvation, and that guy is counted as the enemy (just as Paul was counted as the enemy in Galatians 4:16). “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not” (Isaiah 53:3). This prophetic passage of Scripture is speaking about Jesus. Why was Jesus despised and rejected of men? The Bible says it is because He told THE TRUTH...

John 8:40-46, “But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?”

I don't claim to be a good Christian. I am just a redeemed sinner, undeserving of God's grace. Satan wants us to SHUT UP; God wants us to SPEAK UP. I am humbly speaking up! If that means being hated, despised, belittled, shunned and avoided by professed "Christians" in the churches, then so be it.

I heard a local Baptist pastor warn that God will severely punish anyone who dares to go against a church. I humbly felt that his statement was directed toward me, since my website ministry is infamous...lol. It is no secret that I preach against many "churches," taking a biblical stand against them, exposing their wicked pastors. I thought about what that pastor said and quickly realized that he was wrong in his thinking. What he was really foolishly saying behind veneered words is that individual believers don't have a right to call out a corrupt preacher or a bad church. If a pastor is wrong on God's simple plan of salvation, somebody needs to “rebuke him sharply” that he might be sound in the faith (Titus 1:9-14).

When I humbly and kindly befriended the pastors of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam in 2014 about their support of the Devil's Bible revisions, their wrong repentance and their Lordship Salvation, they forced me out of their cult and banned me from returning. I lost my church family in a moment and was ostracized for years to come, thrown under the bus and left for dead. It felt like a divorce. What was my offence? What was my crime? I just told THE TRUTH!!!
