Right Doctrine Matters: One God, One Mediator, One Bible, One Church, One Gospel

1st Timothy 2:3-7, “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.”

I may not be an apostle, but I am an ordained preacher like the Apostle Paul, and I also SPEAK THE TRUTH IN CHRIST like Paul did!!! For doing so I have been counted as an “enemy” by many independent Baptist churches. Go figure! Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Like Batman in The Dark Knight movie (2008), I have to become the villain in order to be the hero that Harvest Baptist Church of Guam needs, to save the island of Guam from destruction.

As is often the case, the Lord impresses truths upon my heart while laying down, during the night, throughout the day. My mind is always thinking about truth. Psalm 1:2, “But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” A simple but profound thought occurred to me today—One God, One Mediator, One Bible, One Church, One Gospel. That's real easy and simple, and it's THE TRUTH.

Harvest Baptist Church of Guam has written me off. Some people would say that I should just quietly go find another church, which is exactly what Pastor Marty Herron told me in 2017. But I was in love with their school nurse, Kris, and she only attended Harvest...lol. What do you mean, “Go elsewhere.” Not a chance Buster Brown! I'm not going anywhere! When an independent Baptist church is so drastically different doctrinally, that they want you to go elsewhere, SOMTHING IS VERY WRONG IN CHRISTENDOM!!!

And now I have been in love with Abby for 4 years, who brightens my day. I am so happy when she arrives almost each day, and sad when she doesn't arrive. I don't mean to hurt her feelings (which I think I sometimes do with my articles), I just get so frustrated that she ignores me all the time. When you love somebody you want to spend time with that person, go fun places together, go for Dominoes pizza, watch movies together, hold hands and snuggle. I want to marry her! But she hasn't shown any interest in me and it frustrates me as a guy. I want to move anywhere but Guam, but she is the one reason I haven't yet.

Abby has my heart. I have a bunch of mixed emotions because of Harvest Baptist Church. At first they welcomed me as a family member, but then they threw me under the bus for telling them THE TRUTH. Abby used to wave at me, sometimes, but now gives me mean looks. Since Abby doesn't want me, I still think about Kris, wondering why neither of them find me a good catch. What's a poor guy supposed to do? I have nowhere to focus my love, because no one wants me, so far. Harvest doesn't want me. Kris didn't want me. Abby doesn't want me. I don't want me...lol. So I am just loving them all anyway, by standing my ground to keep preaching THE TRUTH.

I mean, there is only ONE BIBLE, right? (Matthew 4:4). There is only ONE GOD, right? (Deuteronomy 6:4). There is only ONE MEDIATOR, right? (1st Timothy 2:5-6). There is only ONE GOSPEL, right? (Galatians 1:6-9). There is only ONE CHURCH, right? (1st Timothy 3:15). So why in the world would the pastors of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam tell me to go find a different church that agrees with me? Why don't they agree with God in the Bible? I am not the one who has lost my sense of spiritual direction, they have! I got saved at 13 years of age from the King James Bible, and that is the ONLY Bible I have ever used. But at Harvest you've got the:

SUM, OUT, TIM, ABP, INT, HEB, PAR, WRD, PEO, KJS, CHI, FUL, SPL, BAR, CAL, CLA, DAR, GIL, GSB, GUZ, JFB, KAD, KJT, MHC, HCSB, LSV, MHW, SCO, TSK, WES, NIV, NLT, ESV, NAS, GWT, KJV, ASV, DRB, ERV, WEB, WLC, WLV, WLO, WLT, BHS, BHO, BHT, ALE, PAL, SEP, SPU, SPT, VUL, AKJ, CEV, BBE, DBY, KJP, OJB, WBS, NASB, NKJB, NLT, ESV, NAS, GWT, KJV, ASV, DRB, GNT, ERV, WEB, VOICE, WLC, WLV, WLO, WLT, BHS, BHO, B, TNIV, WEB, NRSV, GW, TLB, MSG ...and more Bible versions just keep coming!!!

Dear reader, THAT IS CONFUSION!!! If you sanction EVEN ONE of the Westcott and Hort Bible PERversions, you might as well sanction all of them, because you now have TWO authorities (two ancient Bible sources). 1st Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” Satan is the author of confusion. That is why the Devil has young people all confused today about their gender. What saith the Scripture? Genesis 1:27, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Anybody who says it is okay for a girl to want to become a transsexual boy is a sick-minded, ungodly, nutty, fool. Don't you let this gender-bending crazy American society today turn you into an ungodly person!

Satan is the author of confusion, not God. Yet we've got hundreds of English Bible versions floating around in our churches today. One of the pastors of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam reprimanded me for my King James Bible only stance. He wrongly accused me of 'confusing' church members. Huh? That same ungodly pastor admitted to me that on any given Sunday you'll find TWO DOZEN different Bible versions circulating in their pews. Folks, that is 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.” Our omnipotent God is not a scatterbrain!

Folks, God only authored ONE BOOK! Psalms 12:6-7, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” That is a solemn PROMISE from God—that He will keep and preserve His PURE WORDS forever. That means somewhere in this world today we have a perfect, inspired, infallible Bible!!! I believe I have that infallible Bible in the King James Bible. No other Bible uplifts the Lord Jesus Christ! Only the King James Bible still says that people worshipped Him. All the Devil's Bibles change it to a mere knelt or bowed. You can kneel to propose or bow before a king in honor, but that is not worship. Why would wicked people remove all mention of people worshipping Jesus?

Dear friend, I triple-dog dare you to go look at what the Devil's crowd did to butcher Psalms 12:6-7 in the modern Bibles. They have completely removed God's PROMISE to keep and preserve His PURE WORDS. They did that so they could continue to publish hundreds of English Bibles with impunity.

One God, One Mediator, One Bible, One Church, One Gospel

I am not merely speaking my opinion folks. It is A FACT that God only authored ONE BOOK! God didn't author TWO different ancient texts, which slightly vary, and we get to pick and choose. That is exactly what modern scholars are telling us, that God gave us TWO ancient sources. Here, look at this helpful chart and see for yourself, how wacky they are!

I love you dear reader! I love Abby if she is reading this. I don't want to argue with Harvest. I didn't choose this fight, it chose me. This so much reminds me of Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) in the 1982 movie First Blood. John J. Rambo was just passing through town and wanted a meal. Some thug 'King Shite Cop' mistreated him and told him to “Go elsewhere.” That is exactly what the pastors of Harvest Baptist Church of Guam have done to me. It wasn't the meal that upset Rambo, it was the principle of the whole matter. The guy fought in the Vietnam War to defend his country, but now he cannot even eat breakfast in a small town?

Likewise, I am a child of God, a citizen of Heaven, but I am not allowed to eat a spiritual meal on Sundays at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. Like Rambo, I turned around and went back to that town, raising all hell. And so it is! I ain't going anywhere. And if by God's grace I do leave Guam, this war will never be over between me and the Bob Jones crowd, until God deals with them (Galatians 1:6-9; 3:1-3; 6:7). Harvest is not getting away with anything. Their pomp and arrogance will be their downfall in eternity.

There Is Only One Gospel Of Free Grace

Dear reader, there is only ONE BIBLE. And furthermore, there is only ONE GOSPEL. Galatians 1:6-7, “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.” There is NOT another Gospel, as we just read in God's Word. The Bible very clearly defines what this “Gospel” is:

1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

There you have it. The Gospel is comprised of three things:

Christ DIED on the cross for our sins.
Christ was BURIED.
Christ bodily RESURRECTED after three days.

Believe it oh sinner and you are saved! This is the GOOD NEWS!!!

In 2014, as I sat at Harvest Baptist Church of Guam, I heard visiting missionary Phil Hunt from Africa preach. I was disgusted what he said at the end of his message. He said: “To be saved there are two things that you absolutely must know. First is the absolute LORDSHIP of Christ. And second is that Jesus raised from the dead.” Folks, that man is a theological fool! No wonder he has only had one alleged convert over the past 30 years!!! Folks, you don't make Jesus Lord, HE IS LORD!!! You get saved by trusting him as your Savior, not your Lord. Pastor Jack Hyles explains this truth in this powerful sermon clip.

Kindly said, Phil Hunt needs to get saved. Missionaries by the tens of thousands will try to enter into Heaven someday (Luke 13:23-24), boasting of their “MANY WONDERFUL WORKS,” but they will instead hear the horrifying words from Christ... “I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY” (Matthew 7:21-23). Anybody who says more than faith is required to be saved is a worker of iniquity!!! Anybody who says you must continue to live a lifestyle of repenting to know you are saved is a worker of iniquity!!! Dear friend, Jesus paid your sin debt. To be saved, you simply need to get out of the way and totally trust Jesus to do the saving.

Just wholly lean on Jesus name, and dare not trust the sweetest frame! Hebrews 4:10-11, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

Amen! If you want to go to Heaven friend, then simply admit to God that you are a guilty sinner. Just come as you are, ungodly and without any righteousness to offer God. The only thing that you or I contribute to our salvation is the sin that made it necessary. Throw yourself by faith at the blessed Savior's feet. TRUST JESUS AS YOUR PESONAL SAVIOR! God can read your mind. The very moment that God sees you are resting by faith in Christ's sacrifice on the cross, as payment for your sins, believing that Jesus is risen, God saves you. Salvation is a supernatural miracle of God in response to a sinner's childlike faith in Christ. Nothing more is required. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

There is only ONE GOSPEL dear friend, and it is not Lordship Salvation (LS). In case you don't know what this is, LS says faith is not enough to be saved. In addition, you are told that you must turn away from your sinful ways, or at least be willing to turn away from your sins (all Chick Tracts contain that heresy). There are many variations of LS, but in every case you are told that a little more is required than faith alone. In some cases, much more is required. Pastor John MacArthur requires about 7 different things to be saved. According to Mr. MacArthur, salvation is an exchange of all that you are for all that Christ is. He says it is a trade that will cost you everything, just as salvation cost God His Son, an cost Jesus His life. That all sounds so spiritual and sensible, doesn't it, but none of it is what the Bible teaches.

Eternal life is a free gift. You don't need to turn away from your sin to receive it. The very idea is preposterous, because no one has ever been able to turn away from their sins. You see, the LS crowd confuse penitence, penance and reformation with repentance. They are all different:

penitence = sorrow for sin
penance = making a mend for sin
reformation = turning from sin
repentance = a change of mind

All these LS preachers are running around requiring people to reform (save yourself by turning from your sin), but that is not God's plan of salvation. In Matthew 27:3 we read that Judas repented himself, but the Greek word here is different than is used for salvation. In fact, Judas experienced penitence (sorrow for sin). Judas experienced penance (he returned the 30 pieces of silver because of guilt). Judas experienced reformation (he definitely wouldn't have betrayed the Lord twice, if given another chance). However, none of that is Bible repentance (a change of mind) toward God (Acts 20:21). 2nd Timothy 2:25-26 speaks of “repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;” that is, changing one's mind to acknowledge THE TRUTH. So you see, repentance is a matter of embracing THE TRUTH that you are a guilty sinner (Romans 3:19-20), believing on Christ to be saved (Galatians 3:24-26).

There is only ONE GOSPEL, not two. Lordship Salvation and Misunderstood Repentance are both bitter enemies of soulwinning, perversions of God's grace, and guaranteed tickets to eternal damnation if you put your hope in either or both of them. I am the best friend you've ever had right now, because I am telling you THE TRUTH, that can save your soul from eternal misery burning in the fires of Hell. The choice is yours alone to make! If you follow the Satanic preaching of infidels like Dr. Steve Pettit, then you'll end up burning in Hell forever.

Sadly, there is a lackidaical, lulled, relaxed, nothing really matters, sinful attitude hovering over the churches today like never before, causing them to go along and tolerate all manner of doctrinal error, perversions of grace, worldliness and even a denial of Bible infallibility. We are at spiritual war ladies and gentlemen! The Devil wants to confuse everyone. I am sick and tired of hearing incompetent pastors dismiss the battle over God's Word as a mere feud between a couple Bible colleges. Pastor Clarence Sexton has that poor attitude (see his comments scolding Dr. Grady after his sermon). He ought to invite Dr. Bill Grady back and let him speak for 2 hours!

This sermon by Pastor William P. Grady is so important. Pastor Clarence Sexton makes light of the issue of Bible inspiration and infallibility, dismissing it as a mere feud between Bible colleges, but it is so much more! Crown College is A.W.O.L. from The Battle Of The Ages over the Bible. They only believe that the non-existent "originals" were inspired. Kindly, Pastor Sexton's silence, and all the indifferent pastors like him, are cursing the next generation. John Wesley said it exactly right, "What one generation tolerates the next generation will embrace." Somebody needs to care!

We're more worried about how long a preacher preaches today, than we are about defending the infallibility of God's Word. You won't hear Crown College saying that the King James Bible is inspired. They don't believe it. They think only the 'originals' (which don't exist anywhere) were inspired. The Bible is between King James Bible Onlyism and Scholarship Onlyism. Right doctrine matters, which means having the right Bible matters!

There Is Only One Mediator

What saith the Scripture? 1st Timothy 2:5-6, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” I get sad when I learn that a famous person is a follower of Judaism. Famous Jews nearly always claim to be followers of their Jewish faith, which means that absolutely reject Jesus as the Messiah. Judaism is a false religion. Dear friend, whoever you may be, I am not a respecter of person, I love everyone the same. I love Arabs. I love Jews. But the Bible teaches no one can enter into God's Kingdom who hasn't been born-again. John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Someone once asked the mighty preacher John Wesley (1703-1791) why he kept preaching thousands of times on the subject: 'YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN!' Wesley replied, because 'YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN!' John Wesley is right!!! There is no other way to Heaven than through faith alone in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:10-12). That is what the Bible means in Galatians 5:4, “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” Paul is not saying that you'll lose salvation. He is saying that if you trust in a false gospel you cannot go to Heaven, you have fallen short of God's grace. You've missed the mark. That is why Jesus warned in Matthew 7:13-15 that only a few people ever find the narrow wat and the straight gate, because salvation is so simple.

“More people will die and burn in Hell, because they're trusting too much!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

Isn't this all so simple folks? There's One God, One Mediator, One Bible, One Church, One Gospel. The Devil has thousands of different churches preaching another Jesus, another gospel and another spirit! The last I checked the world has 4,400 different religions! Yet, there is only Bible Christianity!!! I love that. I am glad that God didn't make me choose between hundreds of Bibles, thousands of religions, and hundreds of Christs. Satan does that! The truth is that God only authored ONE BIBLE. There is only ONE GOSPEL. Harvest Baptist Church of Guam and Bob Jones University have multiple Bibles, multiples plans of salvation, multiple types of churches (which is why they told me to go find a different church) and are a confused bunch. I am not confused, they are. God is not the author of confusion, the Devil is.
