Is Dispensational Teaching Biblical?

1st Corinthians 9:17, “For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” Ephesians 1:10, “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:” Ephesians 3:2, “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:” Colossians 1:25, “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

Dear reader, the word “dispensation appears 4 times in the New Testament, and nowhere in the Old Testament. I have quoted these 4 mentions above. The Greek meaning of the word dispensation is the same in these 4 passages. It is the Greek word oikonomia, which according to Strong's Concordance means:  

From G3623; administration (of a household or estate); specifically a (religious) “economy”: - dispensation, stewardship.

This sheds some light on what the Apostle Paul meant in 1st Corinthians 9:17, saying that God his entrusted him with “a dispensation of the Gospel.” God had entrusted Paul with the administration (the preaching of) the Gospel. Paul also refers to this in Ephesians 3:2 as “the dispensation of the grace of God.” Salvation is wholly by God's grace! Likewise, Colossians 1:25 refers to the preaching of the Gospel.

Now in Ephesians 1:10, the use of the word “dispensation does not refer to just the Gospel, but to the final climatic gathering of all the saints into one Body of Christ. Read for yourself:

Ephesians 1:3-12, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

Boy, I love all that! Sounds great to me!!! We are the elect, the chosen, as God's adopted children. What were we chosen to? We do not believe because God chose us, God chose us because He knew that we would believe. Every believer was predestinated before the world began, not unto salvation, but to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:29). God knew in His foreknowledge who would receive Christ as Savior, and to all them He predestinated us, giving every believer an inheritance in Christ (Romans 8:32). Dear redeemed saint, God was making big plans for your life and mine before we were even born.

The phrase “fulness of times simply refers to “the completion of time.” Dear friend, when all is said and done of history, Jesus Christ will triumph victoriously, and all those who trusted in Him as their Savior will share in His glory. We are on the winning side in Christ! In God's economy of time, all things will work together for good in Jesus Christ (Romans 8:32). God will make it so! This is what Ephesians 1:10 is teaching, nothing more.

Now, the manmade system of dispensational teaching is something entirely different. Pastor Cyrus I. Scofield (1843-1921) popularized this new method of studying the Bible, which Pastor Harry Ironside (1876-1951) called “an overlay” of the Scriptures, “not doctrine.” However, I personally think it is a doctrine, because dispensational thinking affects how a Bible student views the Holy Bible, and that certainly is “doctrine.

I know faithful pastors who are excellent Bible teachers, who utilize dispensational teaching. I am okay with that, just so long as they don't cross the line theologically and use it to idolize present-day manmade Israel (aka, Zionism). There is no special Bible promise of divine protection for Israel today. In fact, the Bible teaches quite the contrary, that Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentile until Christ's Second Coming (Luke 21:24). God's promise to bless those who bless, and curse those who curse, in Genesis 12:3 was only made to Abraham. Rebellious unsaved Jews today have no biblical right to expect God's blessings (Exodus 19:5-6). Deuteronomy 28 plainly teaches that God will bless or curse the Jews, conditioned upon their obedience or disobedience to His commandments.

I also don't agree with the idea that the seven churches of Asia Minor in Revelation chapter 1-3 refer to dispensations of time (or ages). Evangelist William P. Grady teaches this heresy, for which Pastor Jack Hyles threatened to fire him at Hyles-Anderson College if he didn't cease and desist to teach it to students (as he did me). There is absolutely nothing in the Holy Bible that even remotely suggests that these seven churches in Revelation coincide to “ages of time, or dispensations.” Dr. Hyles hated this heresy because it discourages young people from going soulwinning. Why should we work hard to win souls if we are living today in the Laodicean age of unbelief? I agree with Brother Hyles.

Furthermore, I do not like the idea of the Holy Bible being divided into SEVEN dispensations (time periods in which God dealt differently with humanity). God has already made TWO great divisions to His Word of Old and New Testament (or LAW and CHRIST). These TWO great divisions emphasis the free grace Gospel. But the SEVEN divisions made by dispensationalists focus on the future Kingdom of Israel, instead of upon the Gospel of the Kingdom. Evangelist Philip Mauro (1859-1952) authored an excellent book refuting the teachings of Cyrus I. Scofield, which I highly recommend and agree with titled: 'THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM.' 

Philip Mauro emphasizes that God made TWO great divisions to His Word, not SEVEN. I fully agree with him about that. I think we ought to let the Holy Bible speak for itself, and not add thoughts and words to what God has already said. There is no need for dispensational teaching, and from what I have seen, it just confuses many students, leading them away from soulwinning and into manmade theology. There is no more of a lifeless and fruitless group in America today than theologians! Jesus didn't chose His apostles from among the local theological institutions or synagogues, he chose a fisherman, a tax collector, a doctor and common men. God doesn't need our intelligence, talents or abilities, He needs someone who will GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL.

Jesus Christ Died For All

Revelation 22:17, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

The Holy Bible plainly teaches that Jesus Christ DIED FOR ALL MANKIND, not just a select few people (i.e., the saints). Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was London's mightiest Baptist preacher, who is still admired and followed today worldwide by many Christians for his multitude of printed books, sermons and writings. Although mostly correct in his doctrines, one major flaw in Spurgeon's theology was his denial that Christ died for all men. This heresy of John Calvin (1509-1564) is known as “Limited Atonement.” This false doctrine is part of the 5-fold satanic lie of “Calvinism.”

These devil doctrines are all progressive. That is, one heresy begets another out of necessity. The false religious system of Calvinism is summed up with the acronym: T-U-L-I-P. The first is Total Depravity, teaching that man is so wicked that apart from God's divine intervention, no man would ever come to the Lord for salvation. Hence, the next heresy is Unconditional Election, which teaches basically that God chooses who will be saved. Since God “chooses” who will be saved, there must be a predetermined number of people. This is called “Limited Atonement.” Consequently, those select few whom God has chosen must be forced to get saved. This is called Irresistible Grace. And then, finally, since God chooses and forces a person to be saved (according to John Calvin), God will do what it takes to make those select few saints Persevere in holy living. From beginning to end, Calvinism is of the Devil.

One thing that John Calvin ignores is man's “freewill” (which God has given to every human being). Humans are not slaves. If Calvinism were true, then it would mean God overrides man's freewill, forcing Himself upon humanity, selectively deciding who gets saved and who doesn't. The Bible is very clear that God reaches out to “ALL MEN” to be saved, inviting them to believe the Gospel.

Here are several Scriptures which mention “all men” concerning salvation:
John 1:7, “The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.”

John 12:32, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”

1st John 2:2, “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

Acts 17:30, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.”

Romans 5:18, “Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”

Titus 2:11, “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.”

2nd Corinthians 5:14, “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead.”
Why would God's grace appear to “all men,” if only a few are chosen for salvation? Obviously, that wouldn't make any sense! Why would God command “all men” to repent if only a select few elect have been chosen? As you just read in John 12:32, Jesus foretold that after His resurrection and ascension into Heaven, He would draw “all men” unto Himself by the Holy Spirit. These are just but a few Scriptures, which plainly teach us that Christ died for “all men.”

Dr. Paul Reiter (1929-2013), professor at Appalachian Bible College for 35 years, has clearly and simply summarized the Scriptural teaching on this issue. FOR WHOM DID CHRIST DIE? HE DIED...
  • For all (1st Timothy 2:6; Isaiah 53:6).
  • For every man (Hebrews 2:9).
  • For the world (John 3:16).
  • For the sins of the whole world (1st John 2:2).
  • For the ungodly (Romans 5:6).
  • For false teachers (2nd Peter 2:1).
  • For many (Matthew 20:28).
  • For Israel (John 11:50-51).
  • For the Church (Ephesians 5:25).
  • For “me” (Galatians 2:20).
*From unpublished lecture notes written by Dr. Paul Reiter, former professor at Appalachian Bible College, Bradley, West Virginia.

We read in Romans 5:6, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” It wouldn't make sense if Christ only died for some of the “UNGODLY,” but not for all of the UNGODLY!

Notice that the manner in which God manifests His love to the unsaved, is by Christ dying for us, “WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS”!

Some theologians contend that the pronouns “we” and “us” in Romans 5:8 indicates that Christ only died for believers. Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Taken by itself, this Scripture could be misinterpreted to support a pet doctrine. When interpreting the Bible, the rule is to never interpret any single passage of Scripture without taking into consideration the whole counsel of God. If all of the verses in the Bible agree with your suggested interpretation of a particular passage, then you know you've found the correct meaning. Scripture never goes against Scripture!

Biblically, Jesus Christ died for everyone! He did not die for the self-righteous! Jesus died for the thief! Jesus died for the fornicator! Jesus died for the idolater! Jesus died for the adulterer! Jesus died for the murderer! Jesus died for the drunkard! Jesus died for YOU and for ME! We are all ungodly sinners (Romans 3:23). God only saves ungodly sinners (Romans 4:5). When a person is required to mend their ways, turn from sins, forsake the world, and surrender “all” to Christ to be saved, this is “another Gospel” (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4) which does not produce the new birth by God's Holy Spirit. Christ DIED on the cross for our sins, He was BURIED, and He bodily RESURRECTED three days later. This is “the Gospel” (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). If anyone “BELIEVES THE GOSPEL,” they are immediately, securely and forever saved.

Notice in the following Scripture that God doesn't just love future believers; but rather, “THE WORLD.” Furthermore, the Bible extends the invitation to be saved to “WHOSOEVER” desires to be saved. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” If Calvinism were true, in that God chooses who will or won't be saved, then how could “whosoever” be saved? The word “whosoever” means anybody? How could God love Christ-rejecters whom He knows will never accept Him? The Bible teaches that God loved the whole world so much, and so He sent His only begotten Son into the world (to bleed, suffer and die on a cross as the sacrificial Lamb of God), for the sins of all humanity. Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay! Thank you Jesus!!!

The following is an amazing passage of Scripture, which plainly tells us that Jesus “bought” all false prophets, even those who deny Him. 2nd Peter 2:1, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” Jesus doesn't forgive sins; Jesus has already paid for everyone's sins with His own precious blood. Hence, forgiveness is a gift from God to anyone who believes the Gospel. Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Amen . . . TO EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH!

I love the following Bible verse. 1st Timothy 4:10, “For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.” Amen, first we see the deity of Jesus Christ here, Who is almighty God, the Savior of all men. Isaiah 45:15, “Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.” Carefully notice that JESUS IS “THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN,” SPECIALLY OF THEM THAT BELIEVE! Clearly, the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Savior, even of the unsaved.

By the way, some sincere theologians have attempted to distinguish a difference between the old English spelling of “Saviour” verses the modernized spelling “Savior.” I have studied the issue and there is NO difference. There is only one Greek word for “saviour” in the Bible, soter (a deliverer, preserver). Just like other words; such as, labour and neighbour, which have been modernized to labor and neighbor, saviour is now savior. The only difference is that we properly capitalize the word when referring to our dear Savior, Jesus Christ. 1st Timothy 4:10 plainly proclaims Jesus is the Savior of all men! Whether you receive Him as your personal Savior is a matter solely up to you my friend. John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”

The following Bible verse is plain evidence that Jesus died for all mankind, and not just for a select few chosen by God. 1st John 2:2, “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” Amen, did you read that . . . AND NOT FOR OURS ONLY! The word “propitiation” is beautiful. The word “propitiation” is the Greek word hilasmos, which means, “to appease one's wrath, an expiator (to make amends).” 1st John 2:2 is clear evidence that Christ didn't just make amends for our sins . . . “for ours only.” Rather, Jesus appeased the wrath of God the Father and made amends for “THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.” 

Jesus accomplished this when He sprinkled His liquid blood upon the Mercy Seat in the heavenly Holy Place (Hebrews 9:12, 22; 12:24). 1st John 2:2 is so plain that it behooves me to refute Pastor Charles Spurgeon as a “heretic” on this matter. How could Spurgeon have believed and preached that Jesus only died for believers? As I have just shown you from the Holy Scriptures, Jesus Christ died for all men!!! Mr. Spurgeon was influenced by the rotten doctrines of Calvinism (i.e., the teachings of John Calvin, 1509-1564).

Nearly every preacher quotes Romans 5:8, but not verse 9. Romans 5:8-9, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” God's wrath is reserved for all unrepentant humans who perish in their sins without Christ! It is Jesus' precious blood that appeases the great wrath of God the Father. Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” 

Only Christian believers will escape the wrath of God, which is reserved for the lost in the Lake of Fire. 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.”

There are many more Scriptures teaching us that Christ died for everyone, not just Christians. God's unconditional love for all mankind sent His only begotten Son to the cross, as a perfect sacrifice to pay for the sins of all humanity. It is difficult for me to understand how Charles Spurgeon, or any other Baptist preacher, could conclude that Jesus didn't die on the cross for all sinners!

Water Baptism Is Not Required To Go To Heaven

1st Corinthians 1:17-18, “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. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

The Apostle Paul said that Jesus did not send him to baptize anyone, but to preach the Gospel. Clearly, water baptism is not necessary to be saved, otherwise Paul never would have made such a bold statement. Faith in the Gospel saves, nothing else is required! Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” 

I explained the preceding truth to an arrogant Church of Christ minister years ago. He disagreed with the Bible and me, insisting that although Paul did not baptize, his disciples did. I don't recall reading anywhere in the Bible that Paul had disciples. In much of Paul's missionary journeys he is alone, preaching the Gospel by himself. It is wickedness and blatant false teaching for anyone to claim that Paul water baptized people to get them saved. I am so sick of the rotten and corrupt Church of Christ. Many good people, like Lester Holt, on the news, are members of the Satanic Church of Christ! Friend, you cannot be born-again as long as you think being baptized with water is necessary to get to Heaven. No one is truly saved who trusts in Christ plus the baptistery!!!

Another Satanic false religion is the Lutheran church. Martin Luther (1883-1546) was a wicked man. Luther did much good, and was a key figure in giving us our King James Bible today, translating a Latin version of the Bible. Albeit, the man was a lifelong heretic! We read in Matthew 7:21-23 about a group of people who did “MANY WONDERFUL WORKS” and even called Jesus, “LORD, LORD,” but the Lord Himself said He did not know them as His sheep! You don't get saved by getting water baptized. You don't get saved by doing many good works. You don't get saved by turning away from your sinful bad habits. You don't get saved by living the Christian life. You get saved only by doing God's will, which according to John 6:40 is to BELIEVE ON JESUS CHRIST!!!

The repentant thief on the cross didn't get baptized with water. Yet Jesus promised that they would be together in paradise that same day. No one in the Old Testament ever got saved. We read in Genesis 15:6 that Abram (Abraham) was saved by faith alone. In the Epistle of 1st John, the writer says that the purpose of his epistle is so that the individual believer may KNOW that we have eternal life (1st John 5:13). Yet, John never once mentions anything about water baptism or turning away from sins to be saved. If these things were mandatory to get to Heaven, no doubt John would have emphasized their importance here, but he doesn't even mention them. Folks, we've got a bunch of lying pastors in pulpits today, who simply don't know what they are doing theologically.

You DON'T need to get water baptized to go to Heaven. So why get baptized at all then? Baptism is one's public profession of faith, which represents the Gospel. Going down under the water pictures Christ's death on the cross, and burial. Rising up from the water pictures Christ's miraculous resurrection from the dead. Romans 6:4, “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Notice the word “LIKE.” Baptism is symbolic of what Christ did on the cross, His burial, and Jesus' subsequent bodily resurrection from the dead three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). Baptism is an outward snapshot of what has happened inwardly in the believer's soul.

Again in the Gospel of John we don't find any requirement to be water baptized to have eternal life. The word “BELIEVE” is mentioned 85 times in the Gospel of John. 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.” The first step of obedience for a new Christian should be water baptism. I don't like when these Baptist churches delay baptizing people for 6 months, as does the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. That is not the way they did it in the Bible. On the day of Pentecost 3,000 people got saved, and they were all water baptized that very same day (Acts 2:41-43). I am not diminishing the importance of believer's baptism, I am simply saying that it is not required for salvation.

Tragically, all of the pseudo-Christian religious cults DO require water baptism to get to Heaven (e.g., Mormons, Seventh-Day Adventists, Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Church of Christ, Anglican, Church of England, Episcopalian, Jehovah's Witnesses, et cetera). These are all Satanic false religions, which preach another gospel that cannot produce the new birth by the Holy Spirit of God (John 1:12-13). Getting dunked in a church baptistery no more makes someone a believer, than walking into a garage makes someone an automobile! The only way to have eternal life is by resting completely (by faith) in the finished redemptive work of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus, the Christ. What a beautiful Savior!!!

You Get Saved By Trusting Christ, Because You See Your Need As A Sinner (And That Is Repentance)

Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

It is tragic how the Devil has crept into tens of thousands of Baptist churches today, spreading the lie that God won't save anyone unless they first have a sincere desire “to turn away from sin.” No such teaching is found in the inspired King James Bible. What advocates of the heresies of Misunderstood Repentance and Lordship Salvation usually do is wrest (torture) obscure passages of Scripture to support their junk theology. Our text passage from Mark 1:15 is one such example. They wrongly ass-u-me, that the word repent means “to turn from sin,” but the Greek verb is actually, metanoeo, which means, “to think differently.”

The truth dear friend is that we get saved by trusting Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, and we trust Him because we see our need for redemption as a needy sinner, and this is repentance. Here is one of the best quotes that I've found on repentance, by Dr. 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) [emphasis added]
Amen! We don't give up our sins TO BE saved, we should give up our sins because WE ARE saved, and that requires time to grow in God's grace (1st Peter 2:2). Ephesians 2:10 says that believers are “created in Christ Jesus unto good works,” not by good works. I hope I have made the Bible clear enough dear reader. We are at war today with the Devil's religious crowd over the Bible. It is sad that so many pastors, including the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, have been tricked by Lucifer, into adding “turning away from your sin” to faith alone in the GOOD NEWS (Gospel) of Christ crucified on the cross, buried and bodily risen the third day (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).

Repentance is simply realizing your need for salvation, so that you will BELIEVE ON JESUS and be saved. No one has ever believed without repenting, but repentance is simply a change of mind (which happens automatically). The man who believes has repented, and the man who repents has believed. Any corrupt preacher who tries to separate repentance from faith, requiring that you turn away from your sin as a prerequisite to saving faith, is preaching another gospel. The Bible teaches that we repent TO believe, we don't repent AND believe. Repentance and faith are inseparable. 

The evidence that our faith is real is faith itself, and nothing else. When Dr. Steve Pettit (president of Bob Jones University) heretically says that your faith is not genuine, unless you turn away from your sin and faithfully run the Christian race until the end of life, you know that he has been inspired by demons! God bless you dear reader and thank you for reading my blogs.

When You Take A Stand, People Will Get Upset

1st Kings 18:21, And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

One of the saddest things that we see today is that preachers don't stand anymore. But this is nothing new. As we read in our text passage from 1st Kings 18:21, the Israelites also refused to stand. Just like the false teachers of Lordship Salvation today, who corrupt the churches with lies; so also did the false prophets of Baal during Elijah's time do the same. According to 1st Kings 18:19 there were 950 false prophets total (450 prophets of Baal, plus 400 more prophets of the groves which ate at Jezebel's table). So it was the man of God Elijah versus the 950 prophets of Satan!

I know how Elijah felt, stuck in the middle between the people and the false prophets! I have spent my entire ministry fighting with false teachers in our churches today. My own father drove me out of his church rescue mission ministry in Chicago over my King James Bible only stand. One Lutheran pastor that my father appointed to his church board of directors said, and I quote: “You and that King James Bible heresy!” That heathen pastor's name was on the dark letter mailed to me by my father which effectively said, “You're out!” I had voluntarily served as my father's assistant pastor after I graduated Hyles-Anderson College from 1993 to 2001. So as you can see, my stand for THE TRUTH has cost me everything.

So I decided to become a missionary and I started my website ministry in 2002. I chose to move to Guam with my former wife. Little did I know that I would be diagnosed with Cervical Degenerative Disk Disease in 2004, and then my wife of 18 years would abandon and divorce me in 2006. My life had become a trainwreck, languishing in pain and heartache. My co-workers at the U.S. Postal Service found my ministry website. They were Catholics and decided to make my life hell on earth, and they did, which a California judge who flew to Guam for my EEO complaint said caused my divorce. The judge made the Post Office pay me $42,000 in damages to cover the cost of my divorce.

In 2013 I used that money, and a bunch more, to try to relocate back to the United States. I went to Hawaii and Tennessee, all of which turned into a big nightmare. I didn't know what I was doing, and had no wife or anyone by my side to help me think. I was a lost soul. I spent over $50,000 going in a big 4 month very painful circle, from Guam to Hawaii to Tennessee back to Guam. I crawled emotionally into the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam (one of the hardest things I have ever done). I desperately needed their love and help. Everything went fine for the first several months, but then like Samson my spiritual hair began to grow. 

I started to feel like a person again at Harvest, after living as a recluse for years in both physical (my neck) and emotional (divorce) pain with no wife or a church. I had visited some Baptist churches on Guam, but they didn't want me. The senior pastor, Alfred, at the Agana Heights Baptist Church in 2009 was mean and didn't want me in his church, insulting me and making sure I didn't return, after he listened to some gossip about me from a deacon who knew me in his church. I watched the man slander me. Like the Lord, I am despised and rejected of men. Isaiah 53:3, “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.

I ended up at Harvest in 2013. I was so happy while there. I had finally found a church family, so I thought in error. In 2014 I befriended them with THE TRUTH. I am not King James Bible only for an aimless reason folks, I HATE these modern Devil's Bibles which were translated from Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort's perverse 1881 Greek text. The Bible commands every believer to HATE! We are commanded to HATE EVIL. Psalms 97:10, Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.Psalms 119:104, “Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.” I am sick and tired of seeing these stupid bumper stickers that read, “Stop Hate!” No, I am not going to stop hating evil. The bumper sticker ought to read: “Stop Hating People!” God commands us to HATE EVIL and to HATE EVERY FALSE WAY! I hate deception. I hate false Bibles. I hate the lying false teaching of Lordship Salvation.

My stand for THE TRUTH has cost me church after church, and caused me a Hostile Work Environment for me for years. Jesus said if they hated and persecuted Him, so also will they hate and persecute godly believers (John 15:19; 2nd Timothy 3:12). Pastor Jack Hyles saw this evil of preachers not taking a stand long ago, stating these words:

“I've been preaching a long time, and I've watched a lot of things happen. To me the saddest thing that I've watched in my life, apart from my own country going to the Devil nearly, has been the change of preachers and churches. I find myself amazed and stunned with near disbelief, as I see men who once stood who don't stand anymore ... I know every week I cry some, I mean cry, I mean tear cry, because of preachers who are turning.” SOURCE: Pastor Jack Hyles, from the 1972 sermon titled, I SHALL NOT BE MOVED.
It is emotionally painful for me to even write about this stuff, because I suffered through it all, being despised and rejected by people because I stood for THE TRUTH. Harvest Baptist Church on Guam booted me out of their church family in 2014, and again in 2017 rejected me when I literally begged 3 times to please let me come back to my church family. Pastor's Marty Herron, Jared Baldwin and Joe Hanson all said, “No.” I almost commit suicide because of those cruel and wicked prophets of Baal. And then Gary Walton, Harvest's new immature senior pastor since 2018, as well as some of the old farts still there, refuse to give me a second chance to have a church family. They HATE me, but I HATE the wrong doctrine that they teach. I HATE the false teachers (e.g. Steve Pettit and John MacArthur) that they bid Godspeed to, making Harvest partaker of their evil deeds. It's their way or the highway!

Today's pastors and churches are not standing anymore, just like the people didn't stand in Elijah's time. Elijah asked the people whom they were going to serve, God or Baal, but the people answered him not a word...
“God has a special rebuke, again and again and again in the Bible, toward those people who keep their neutrality in the work of God!” —SOURCE: Dr. Jack Hyles, a quote from the great MP3 sermon, “Where Were You In The Battle?

Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is NOT standing for anything! They only stood against me for taking a stand. What do you think God feels about that friend? Do you think God is proud of me, and is on my side, for standing against the Devil's Bible, the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation, and the Devil's lie of repentance as meaning “turn from your sinful bad habits” to be saved? Or do you think God is on Harvest's side (and the corrupt Bob Jones University camp today), who say that it doesn't matter, we're all preaching salvation by grace, and free grace is the same as Lordship Salvation? If you believe the latter, you need to get saved. Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) fully understood what I just said. Dr. Hutson took A STAND!!!

Consequently, I haven't had a church family since 2014, because of the incompetence, cruelty, indifference, arrogance, sinful pride and selfishness of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. They'll help orphans, but they won't help their Christian brother? Perhaps it is because they are not saved at all, which would explain their woeful lack of compassion FOR ME as a hurting human being, and their woeful lack of love for THE TRUTH. I need to move, but my body hasn't been up to it. I look fine outwardly, but I suffer in constant neck pain 24/7 and it is debilitating. Besides myself, God only knows what I suffer through. Even my family doesn't understand, but I love everyone unconditionally. I am a loving man, but I get frustrated easily because of the pain, and no one wants to be around me, which hurts my soul inexplicably.

I am so thankful for Pastor Jack Hyles' statements, about how preaches don't stand anymore. That eases my pain, because I have faithfully stood, and I have been kicked out of numerous churches, hated by religious people, and abused as an outcast by the churches. What saith the Scripture? Romans 3:4, “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. The truth is on my side, because I preach THE TRUTH!

Dear reader, if today's Bible revisions have indeed been corrupted by Satan, then my preaching will be vindicated by God in eternity. If Lordship Salvation is a perversion of the Gospel, then my preaching will be vindicated by God in eternity. If repentance to get saved doesn't mean behavioral modification, then my preaching will be vindicated by God in eternity. If Martin Luther (1483-1546) went to Hell because he taught Baptismal Regeneration all his life, then my preaching will be vindicated by God in eternity.  

Harvest Baptist Church on Guam calls me, “THE TROUBLEMAKER”! 1st Kings 18:17, “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) was also a troublemaker, which is why he is still hated by thousands of corrupt churches today...

“Now you say, 'Brother Hyles, you make an issue.' You dead sure better know I'll make an issue!” —BATTLE OF THE AGES (MP3, Dr. Jack Hyles, “The King James Bible crowd is going to come out on top!”)

While Bob Jones University is using, selling and bidding Godspeed to the Devil's false Bibles, I am exposing, hating, criticizing, and doing all I can to burn them! If you don't die a hero, then you live long enough to see yourself become the villain! Like Elijah the preacher, I am considered a troublemaker for speaking THE TRUTH! But who is really at fault here? I love Elijah's answer to King Ahab in 1st Kings 18:18, “And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.” No, it is YOU Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, who are the troublemakers! It is YOU, oh Bob Jones University in South Carolina, who are the troublemakers! It is YOU religious fakes and Christian phonies—with your dozens of corrupt Bible revisions, and your doctrines of devils on Misunderstood Repentance and Lordship Salvation—that cause trouble in the churches, and damn men's souls to Hell for eternity!

Pastor Jack Hyles taught me to take a stand for what is true and right, and not what is convenient. I remember that Jared Baldwin (an assistant pastor at Harvest), mocked me in 2015, sarcastically saying to me: “How's your beliefs working out for your social life?” It is my often prayer to God that the Lord will force that wicked man to eat those words someday, and be held accountable for what he cruelly said to me.” You're right Jared, I haven't had a social life since you, Joe Hanson and Marty Herron took my church family away from me in 2014. And now Pastor Gary Walton abuses me as well, upholding the evil decisions of the former pastors. And as of 2021 I still have no church family! Harvest's pastors, staff and congregation all have my blood on their hands. The church as a whole sanctions the decisions of their pastors, making them all accountable and guilty. I have faithfully stood for THE TRUTH!!!

I Will Not Pray For Peace In Jerusalem Today

Jeremiah 7:16, "Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee." Kindest regards my friend. Thank you for your interest in my ministry online. God bless.

I get disgusted with all the Israel worship here in American churches. I read a Twitter post the other day by Jared Young, an assistant Baptist Pastor in Lexington, Kentucky. I love their soul-winning church, and Pastor Fugate, their senior pastor. But it disgusts me that they are Zionists. Jared quoted Genesis 12:3 and then this verse in Psalms 122:6, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee." But Jared didn't quote this verse from Isaiah 48:22, "There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked." Churches can pray all they want for peace in Jerusalem, but there will never be any peace until they repent toward God (Hosea 3:4-5). 

Sadly, these Zionist preachers are woefully ignorant of Bible prophecy. Luke 21:24, "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." The Bible plainly teaches that the Gentiles will trod down Jerusalem until Jesus Christ returns at His Second Coming to set up His Kingdom, and the Times Of The Gentiles is finished. So there is no "peace" promised to Israel today. 

Furthermore, true Israel ceased to exist as a nation in 586 BC, when Babylon annihilated Jerusalem. Just as Hosea 3:4-5 says, they were scattered throughout the world, and have no prince, until Christ returns. Present-day manmade Israel is NOT the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, it was put back on the map in 1948 by the heathen United Nations. Just as Abraham and Sarah refused to wait on the Lord to give them a promised biological son, so also have sinful men taken it upon themselves to restore the nation of Israel, not waiting for God's promise to restore Israel when they return to God (at Christ's return). 

Tragically, less than 3% of Israel today professes to be Christian (and that includes unsaved Catholics, Mormons, Seventh-Day Adventist, Jehovah's Witness, Church of Christ, et cetera). I dare say 0.05% are truly born-again believers. I agree with Presbyterian Pastor J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988) that Israel today is no different than any other heathen nation, and God is not blessing nor protecting them. No believer should be praying for peace in Israel, anymore than we should be praying for peace in "Sin City" Las Vegas or immoral Hollywood. Jeremiah 7:16, "Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee." Kindest regards my friend. Thank you for your interest in my ministry online. God bless.

So, no, I will NOT pray for peace in Jerusalem today, and neither should you pray for peace in such an immoral, ungodly, Christ-rejecting and horrible place! If that offends you, then please study your King James Bible so you won't be so ignorant. Read Deuteronomy chapter 28 to see what curses God promised He would inflict upon Israel, if they disobeyed the voice of the Lord. In 2016 Tel Aviv, Israel, was dubbed the “gayest city on earth” by the Boston Globe. Holy Land? I don't think so. 

I am not bashing the Jews, God forbid. I love Jewish people, just as I love Arabs, blacks, Asians, Indians and all people everywhere of all ethnicities, faiths, nations and cultures. Heaven is color and denomination blind (Galatians 3:26-29). Zionism is a matter of corruption, not Anti-Semitism. There are no promises in the Bible from God to blindly bless a wicked nation that dishonors and spits on the precious Lord Jesus Christ. 
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.”
As we just read, God's promise of blessing to the Jews was CONDITIONAL upon their continued obedience. The Israelites failed to obey God, instead committing harlotry with false gods and idols. That is what the Old Testament book of Ezekiel is about. I do not believe in Replacement Theology (that the Church replaced Israel). That is because there was never anything to replace. As we see in Exodus 19:5-6, from the very beginning God's promise of blessing always followed A LINE OF FAITH. 

God blessed Abraham in Genesis 12:3 because of Abraham's faithfulness. That promise only extends to Jews today who OBEY God's commandments in the Holy Bible. Romans 11:23, “And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.” Those Jews today who adhere to the Old Testament, but reject the New Testament, are still hellbound in their sins without Jesus Christ as their Savior. God is not willing for any to perish, but that all should come to repentance (2nd Peter 3:9). 

In order to enter into the Kingdom of God, a person MUST be born-again (John 3:3-7). We are saved by faith alone in the 'Good News' (Gospel) of Jesus' death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). If you want to be forgiven by God of your sins and live forever, then you MUST be born-again. There are absolutely NO exceptions, not even for the Jews. God is not a respecter of persons. 

So, no, I will not pray for peace amidst a wicked, Christ-rejecting nation, any more than I would pray for peace in China or Russia. Jeremiah 7:16, "Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee." What we ought to pray for is more effective SOULWINNING. Colossians 4:3, “Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:” Only THE GOSPEL brings true lasting peace! Romans 5:1, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Thank you for reading my blog.

I Hate The Repent Of Sins HERESY!

John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 6:47, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

We are saved by BELIEVING, nothing more. Anyone who comes to God as a guilty sinner, by faith receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for their sins, believing that He was buried, but God raised Him up three days later from the dead, is saved. Hear is a wonderful sermon excerpt from Pastor Curtis Hutson, refuting the Devil's lie of turning from sins to be saved...

I Hate The Repent Of Sins HERESY!!!

Repentance is a change of mind, not a change of lifestyle. Nobody is good enough to go to Heaven. Friend, you don't have to turn from your sins to go to Heaven, you have to be 100% sinless and perfect. 

If you ever get saved, you'll have to change your mind about repentance, if you foolishly think that turning from sins is necessary to be saved. Judas turned from his sins. Judas felt guilty, sorrowful that he had betrayed Jesus. In fact, Judas even returned the 30 pieces of silver to the Pharisees. Judas was a changed man, but he still went to Hell in his unbelief. You don't get saved by following Jesus. You don't get saved by serving Christ, as we see in Matthew 7:21-23. These people boasted of their “many wonderful works,” but Jesus denied knowing them as His sheep. They boasted of preaching in Jesus' name. They even called Him “Lord, Lord,” but Jesus denied knowing them, and said: “Depart from me, ye that work iniquity: I never knew you” (Matthew 7:21-23). 

All across America and the world, false prophets are preaching the Devil's lie that you are not saved unless you have turned away from your sins. Those wicked preachers create doubt in millions of people's minds, worried that they are not saved because they still have sins in their life. The Lordship Salvation crowd doesn't preach assurance of salvation, because they falsely teach that you might go into sin down the road and not make it to Heaven. But the man who teaches salvation by grace through faith, KNOWS he is safely saved and secure in God's promise TO SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE (1st Corinthians 1:21). 

If you ever listen to Evangelist Ray Comfort (a deadly false prophet), he never teaches the eternal security of the believer. In fact, Ray heretically preaches that to be saved, you must turn away from your sins, and then LIVE A LIFETSYLE of repentance (which he foolishly thinks means to forsake sinful behavior) to prove that your faith is real. This is total works for salvation, and a counterfeit gospel. I also hate the repent of sins HERESY! I hate it because it sends people to Hell. I receive countless emails from scared people, who have faith in Jesus as their Savior, but are scared they are not saved because they still sin. They have been lied to by the advocates of Wrong Repentance and Lordship Salvation crowd. To the unsaved (or natural) men, turning away from sins seems like a reasonable requirement to get to Heaven. 

But to someone who is saved and understands the Word of God (i.e., the inspired King James Bible), we know that salvation is solely by God's grace, resting completely in Jesus' finished redemptive work through the cross of Calvary. I was saved at age age by placing my faith (reliance) in Jesus, believing that He dies on the cross for my sins, was buried, and three days later He miraculously physically resurrected from the dead. That is the Gospel, the Good News (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). I didn't give up any sins when I got saved. I have sinned many times throughout my life, deliberately. We all do! There is no such thing as a human being without sin (Romans 3:10-23; 1st John 1:10). 

I am saved solely because of faith in Jesus' precious blood, and not by anything I have ever done, am doing or ever will do. External evidence that I am saved is my faith, and nothing else. 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.” Beware of anyone who tries to scare you that you're not going to Heaven because of your sins. They are not going to Heaven, because they are trusting in their own good works, plus partial faith in Jesus. That is not enough to be saved. You must totally rest in Jesus Christ alone, Who is the Savior!

The Charismatic Movement is Dangerous!

2nd Peter 2:1-3, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.”

AT THE TURN of the century, the present-day Pentecostal Movement came into being, emphasizing ‘speaking in tongues' and “divine healing”. Their failure to “rightly divide the Word of Truth” led to many false teachings regarding the ministry of the Holy spirit and produced confusion in the minds of the saved and unsaved religionists alike. The Pentecostal Movement arose mainly from within various Protestant churches but they were soon forced out, either because of their unusual beliefs and practices or because they felt unhappy in churches which had become liberal (theologically and worldly in position and practice). At least two things can be said for most of these early Pentecostals—they utterly repudiated the liberalism of the ecumenical movement and would not condone mixing the world with the church.

In the 1960’s a new movement took shape, sharing the basic doctrines of Pentecostals but advocating a “stay in” rather than a “come out” policy with regard to church affiliations. This movement is commonly known as the ‘Charismatic Movement.” It involve not only various Protestant churches but Roman Catholic churches as well. In fact, if one is able to “speak in tongues” or if he has experienced a “healing”, he is accepted by the Charismatics with little or no regard to his church affiliation or doctrinal deviation. When you hear Roman Catholics talk about how their “baptism in the Holy Spirit” has given them a greater love for the Mass, you know that this cannot be attributed to the Holy Spirit, but rather to a false spirit.

In the 1980's, yet another movement appeared on the religious scene which made the Pentecostal/Charismatic false teachings even more appealing and dangerous. Why? Because this movement promoted the same, basic unscriptural doctrines held by Pentecostals and Charismatics while, in its inception, disclaiming any relationship to either of these groups, thus making it especially attractive to evangelicals and fundamentalists who did not want to wear the label of either group because of their deviant teachings and practices.

The impetus for this new movement came largely from several widely circulated books and many lectures to evangelical groups around the world by Dr. John Wimber, and Dr. Peter Wagner of Fuller Theological Seminary Institute of Church Growth. Both men greatly influenced each other and, as they experimented with various teachings and practices related to "healing, miracles, signs and wonders," they soon went even beyond the Pentecostal and charismatic errors. They claimed that the exorcising of so-called "territorial spirits" was essential to complete the task of world evangelization; and, that God had reestablished the offices of prophet and apostle with those supposedly holding these offices receiving direct messages from God for the church, and exercising divine authority over the church. This newest movement is often referred to as "Power Evangelism"," Healing, Signs, Wonders and Miracles Evangelism", or the "Third Wave of the Holy Spirit". (Pentecostals, Charismatics, and Power Evangelism teachers) have now blended into a powerful coalition which is rapidly spreading. This poses as a great threat to the purity of the gospel.

Others have dealt at length with the dangers of the Charismatic Movement and how Scripturally unsound the movement is. Our purpose in this leaflet is to briefly point out some of the real dangers of this movement so that God's people will be informed and forewarned. It is important to look at principles, doctrines and positions and not to look at the individuals who compose this movement. The Word of God must be the only basis for conclusions drawn - we must not judge by personal relationships or prejudice.


The Charismatic Movement is Dangerous Because:

It accepts tongues, interpretation of tongues, visions, dreams, prophecies, etc., as being messages from God to His children. This is a grave danger. Once you accept "extra-biblical messages" (those which are in addition to the Bible but not necessarily contrary to the Bible per se) it is not long before you will be accepting "anti-biblical messages" as being valid (those which directly contradict God's Word).

The Charismatic Movement has done and is doing exactly that. In reality, all extra-biblical messages are anti-biblical messages because God's Word specifically warns against adding to the Scriptures (Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18-19). The Charismatic Movement defends these extra-biblical, ant-biblical messages on the basis that, "New winds of the Holy Spirit are blowing". They say, "Who knows what the Holy Spirit may do?" Let no one forget, however, that the Word of God is a completed revelation and was given by the Holy Spirit (II Peter 1:19). We can be sure of one thing - the Holy Spirit will never contradict Himself. 

It was the Holy Spirit Who warned about adding to the Word of God. Therefore, those who add to God's Word cannot claim to be authorized or empowered by the Holy Spirit. It encourages its followers to stay in apostate Protestant churches as well as Roman Catholic churches and other churches which preach and teach a false gospel by asserting that if the supposed "gifts of the Spirit" are present in false religious systems then joining them in evangelism, worship, services, etc., must be an acceptable ministry.

God's Word plainly tells believers that those who preach another gospel are "accursed" (Gal. 1:6-9) and that those who fellowship with false teachers are partakers of their evil deeds (II John 10, 11). Satanic deception through false tongues, miracles, and the like help to bring together what God's Word declares must be kept separate. The Charismatic Movement is promoting the Ecumenical Movement and the Roman Catholic church by overlooking serious doctrinal error, with eternal consequences, for the sake of "unity in the Spirit." This is very dangerous!

It sells and promotes, like the New Evangelical Movement, all of the new Bible versions and translations, all of which add or take from the Word of God. This is also very dangerous because it destroys confidence in the written word by causing the reader to question the divinely preserved text. The new Bible versions water down and actually change vital teachings of the Word of God as well. It places unscriptural and undue emphasis on physical healing. This stumbles many precious believers who are falsely taught that it is always God's will to heal. Both the Scriptures and experience teach that God may use physical afflictions for refining, correcting and chastening (Hebrews 12:3-11; Job 23:10). God's Word teaches that He can heal anyone, anytime, but that He does not heal everyone, every time. 

Paul learned this truth when God explained why his thrice repeated prayer for personal healing was not granted (II Corinthians 12:1-10); and, also, when one of Paul's faithful helpers, Trophimus was unable to accompany him because of sickness (II Timothy 4:20). When we pray for healing for ourselves or others, we must never forget that such healing is always God's prerogative based upon what He knows is best for each of His children, not upon "demanding" or "claiming" such healing as do the Charismatics.

Unlike its predecessor, Pentecostalism, the Charismatic movement fosters and encourages a spirit of worldliness in the church and in the individual believer. Instead of striving for true holiness and godliness in speech, dress, hair, music, entertainment, etc., the Charismatic Movement prides itself in using worldly means to entertain their own and attract the lost. This is also very dangerous. Read I John 2:15-17. It encourages women to forsake their God-given place in the home and in the Church. This results in disorderly homes and disorderly churches with women assuming places of leadership in direct violation of the Word of God.

It is strange, inconsistent and sad to hear Charismatics using the fourteenth chapter of Corinthians to justify speaking in tongues as a gift of the Spirit for our day when that very same chapter says plainly "Let your women keep silence in the churches.."(I Corinthians 14:34). To countermand God's command to women is dangerous - for women, for the home and the Church. It promotes and encourages what is called "coming under the power" or "slain in the spirit", a dangerous practice in which certain leaders "lay hands" on people causing them to "swoon, faint, slump down, experience the power" etc., thereafter remaining unconscious or semi-conscious for several seconds or longer. The Charismatic attempt to use John 18:6 to justify this practice which is another example of how they twist the Scriptures to justify and defend their practices. There is no Scriptural precedent, example or command for this experience.

Hypnotic suggestion and desire for and extra-biblical experience opens one up to either pretended or demonically energized results which parallel those of the occult. It glories in “miracles” and often uses a “miracle” as the basis for validating a person’s message or practices, even though the message or the practice is unscriptural. This is dangerous since the Scriptures plainly teach that the last days will be days of great deceitfulness (2 Timothy 3:13). God warns that the coming of the Anti-Christ will usher in a time of “All power and signs and lying wonders” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-11). We read in Revelation 13:3 that the deadly wound of the Beast was healed and that the “Second Beast” deceived men by the use of miracles, even having the power to give life to an image (Revelation 13:11-18). 

The validation of a man’s message and methods today is not “miracles” — it is conformity to Word of God. It is dangerous to accept any other basis of judgment. The false notion that miracles must accompany the preaching of the Gospel in order for the lost to be saved today is definitely unbiblical. The one true Gospel of salvation by faith alone in Christ Jesus is still, and will ever be, God’s power “unto salvation” to every one who believes the simple Gospel message (Romans 1:16).

Undoubtedly multitudes today are trusting in a charismatic “experience” for their salvation due to these false teachings rather than upon the sure promises of God’s Word. John 1:12; 3:36; 5:24; Romans 10:13-17. It confuses and misleads as to the Scripture’s teachings concerning prayer. Using Matthew 18:19 (...if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing...) as a basis for claiming healing, financial blessings or solution of any problem, they ignore what God says in I John 5:14-15 (...if we ask any thing according to his will...). The charismatic teaching that it is never God’s will for any believer to be ill or in trouble of any kind is neither Scriptural nor is it actually true in their own ministries and personal experiences. Yet, over and over again, Charismatic leaders say to people in public meetings or to multitudes over the airwaves, “Let’s agree together that every person listening or watching be healed—in Jesus’ name.” Are all such healed then or later? Of course not! By twisting and misapplying the Scriptures, they are deceiving millions.

It promotes dangerous and unscriptural teachings concerning the present power of Satan and the believer’s attitude toward this “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). Charismatic leaders whip their audiences into a veritable frenzy as they speak of binding Satan, casting him out of individuals and into the pit, etc. They talk of “stomping on Satan” and “chasing him out of this world.” Such teaching completely ignores the believer’s Scriptural instructions. We are to “resist Satan” (I Peter 5:8,9); to put on “the whole armour of God” that we may be able to stand against his wiles and quench all his fiery darts (Ephesians 6:10-17), not forgetting the Scriptural example of Michael the archangel’s attitude when dealing with the devil (Jude 9).

We firmly believe that “speaking in tongues” cased with the completion of the Canon of Scripture (I Corinthians 13:8). We firmly believe that the erroneous teachings of the Charismatic Movement have obscured many true and blessed teachings regarding the ministry of the Holy Spirit Who convicts the world of sin (John 16:8-11), intercedes in prayer to the Father on behalf of the believer (Romans 8:26,27); comforts, teaches and guides believers into the truth of the Word (John 14:15-26; 16:7,13); and Who has “sealed (us) unto the day of redemption” (Ephesians 4:30). The Holy Spirit has a blessed and important ministry in the life of every believer and we dare not neglect, belittle or pervert this wonderful ministry. The Holy Spirit uses the written Word which He gave through the apostles and prophets to guide us into all truth. The Holy Spirit will never lead us to do or say anything contrary to the Bible, God’s Holy, inerrant, infallible, eternal Word (2 Timothy 3:16).

Someone may ask, “What if the Charismatic Movement is right and you are wrong about “speaking in tongues” being for our day? Is it possible that God does want His people to have this gift now? The answer is clear—if “speaking in tongues” is for our day, then surely it ought to be practiced and used according to the Scriptures and not what is being practiced in the modern “tongues” movement. Not all believers could expect to have this gift (I Corinthians 12:4-11, 28-31) and “tongues speakers” should remain silent unless an interpreter was present (I Corinthians 14:28). 

The one speaking had understanding of what he spoke in the unlearned, foreign language (it was never unintelligent gibberish) and unless he or an interpreter would make the message or prayer known to the rest of the church, his understanding would be “unfruitful” (unprofitable) with respect to the edification of the rest of the church (I Corinthians 14:4-6, 12-17 cf. 12:7). Also, men were to have the leadership in the church and the women were to submit to their Spirit-enabled ministry; no woman was to speak in tongues in the churches (I Timothy 2;11,12; I Corinthians 14:34). Charismatics scorn these truths.

If the Charismatic Movement were of the Holy Spirit of God, it would be exercising spiritual discernment and calling for separation from false prophets, apostate churches and unscriptural practices. It would also be exposing the false gospels and other heresies taught by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, not joining with them in evangelism, prayer or worship.

For all of these reasons and many others like them, as Christians we should all sound this alarm of warning: THE CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT IS DANGEROUS—WATCH OUT FOR IT!

John 6:28-29 Explains James 2:18-20?

John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” James 2:18-20, “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?”

I was thinking today (I thought I smelled wood burning...lol). I was thinking about the Bible. The Lord gave me a truth that burned in my heart. There is much debate among theologians, and in the churches, over the accurate meaning of James chapter 2. Specifically, James' statement in verse 20, “FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.” I heard a horrible heretical sermon the other day that someone sent to me, by Pastor Daniel Phelps (Chuck Phelps son) at the Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sadly, the church is a cult, caught between grace and works, preaching another gospel of Lordship Salvation. This is the ungodly Bob Jones University crowd today, a bunch of infidels who pervert God's grace.

Anyway, in his sermon Daniel Phelps uses James chapter 2, corrupting it's true meaning. According to Daniel, a person cannot be saved unless they have “WORKS” to prove that their faith is genuine. But wait a minute! That is man's speculation, not what God's Word teaches. I love what Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) taught me, to always let the Bible interpret itself. Thankfully, we have Jesus' own words, defining exactly what “WORKS” we must do to get to Heaven. John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” I love that!

So when James says that “FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD,” he is simply saying that believing in God is not enough to get to Heaven. The devils also believe, and they tremble, knowing that they are doomed! You don't get your sins forgiven by having faith in God, you must BELIEVE ON HIM, the only begotten Son of God. John 3:36, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” So if you have faith in God, but not in Jesus, you will NOT go to Heaven when you die! The Holy Bible is very plain about that. I have met religious people while soulwinning, who spoke nothing but praises toward God the Father, but then cursed at the very mention of the name of “Jesus.” You see, they have churchianity without Christianity!

My friend, the Apostle James was not teaching Lordship Salvation, he was simply saying that to be saved, you must BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! What saith the Scripture? Acts 16:30-31, “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.” Oh, how simple is the Bible, if we just let the Bible speak for itself, and stop listening to these damnable false prophets today, who keep lying and telling people that they must “turn away from your sin” to be saved. No you don't! Jesus came to save you and me friend from our sins! Now, could I be wrong in my interpretation of James 2? Sure, I am only human. 

In James 2:18, the apostle says, “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” James is speaking about being justified in the eyes of men, not God. Yet, in the next verse James mentions the fallen angels, who tremble in fear of coming judgment, torment and damnation in Hell (Matthew 8:29), which would make it a salvation issue. So I will let you decide dear reader what James chapter 2 means. It could be referring to our walk as believers in “holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” (Hebrews 12:14b). Hebrews 12:14 simply means that we are the only Jesus someone may know. So if we are not emulating Christ through our life, then someone may go to Hell because of our poor testimony. Every believer is a walking billboard. What are you advertising?

In the Epistle of Romans, the apostle Paul clearly teaches about justification by faith alone (Romans 4:5-6). This plainly teaches us that James absolutely cannot be saying that our faith in Christ is not genuine if we don't have works (turning from sin, holiness, good deeds, et cetera). Taken by itself, James chapter 2 can be wrestled (tortured) to say just about anything. Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) wisely said: “A good rule to follow when interpreting the Bible is to never use an obscure passage to contradict a clear one.” James chapter 2 is definitely obscure (i.e., it's meaning is highly debated by Bible students). Romans 4:1-6 is as plain as the noon day sun!

Romans 4:4, “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.” If turning away from sins is required to be saved, or to prove that one's faith is genuine (as the foolish Bob Jones University crowd constantly claim), then salvation is a reward that is earned, and God is INDEBTED to you. I looked up the Greek meaning of the word “reward” here, which means “pay for service.” The Bible is saying that if you attempt to do WORKS to get to Heaven, then salvation becomes a reward (pay for service), so that God would owe you. Folks, that is not how salvation works. That is why Paul is refuting the very idea here!

I am sick and tired of hearing the apostate Bob Jones University crowd, which today are all Calvinists preaching hardcore Lordship Salvation, saying that salvation is BY GRACE, but we must DO WORKS to prove the genuineness of our faith. That absolutely is NOT what James is teaching in his epistle. I KNOW this to be true, because it would boldly contradict the plain teachings found in the Gospel of John, the Epistle of Romans, and the very Words of our dear Lord Himself in John 6:28-29. So either James was speaking about justification in the sight of men (not God), or he was talking about justification by faith alone in Christ (which is the only “WORKS” which God requires or allows to be saved).

Whosoever BELIEVES ON THE SON has worked the works of God. That is EXACTLY what Jesus said in John 6:28-29, I didn't say that. If you believe, your religious faith is not dead anymore, it is alive in Christ Jesus! I love you dear reader with God's unconditional love, whoever you may be. I just want to be a blessing to help others for Christ. I give Jesus ALL the praise and credit (John 15:5). Thank you for reading my blog articles. God bless

The Constant Tension Between Truth And Cooperation

Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

There is constant tension between a believer's duty and biblical obligation to stand for THE TRUTH, and our human desire to cooperate with others and get along. I don't like tension and conflict. I like to get along with everybody. Unfortunately, Satan uses that human tendency to infiltrate and corrupt churches. I've seen this my entire life, and it is a big problem today.

We are exhorted in Jude 1:3 to EARNESTLY CONTENT FOR THE FAITH, which means taking a strong stand against all heresies creeping into the church. It means speaking up for God when we see the Devil trying to sneak into the local church. Sadly, most professed Christians today (especially pastors and Bible colleges) prioritize making money and cooperating with their peers, over contending for sound Bible doctrine. This is why the Devil's lie of Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation) has so easily crept into thousands of Baptist churches, corrupting them. Preachers have failed to stand for THE TRUTH. They have failed to nip heresy in the bud, which has consequently allowed Satan to destroy local churches by perverting the Gospel.

The effort to promote better cooperation between religious groups is called “ecumenism,” and it is totally unbiblical. The reason why Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) is one of the most hated preachers in America is because he stood for two main things: SOULWINNING and SEPERATION. Ecumenism is the opposite of ecclesiastical separation. Worldliness is the opposite of personal separation as a believer. The Bob Jones University crowd have dipped their sails drastically in recent decades, now permitting female students to wear pants, halter tops and tights in gym. BJU is no different than the unsaved world in their dress standards. BJU does NOT care about soulwinning or separation, by all indications they only care about is preparing young people for money-making careers. BJU is a curse upon America in 2021!

On their website Bob Jones University has a long list of all the religious institutions, Bible colleges and churches where their graduates have been hired. That is exactly why SOULWINNING no longer exists in these places, because of the demonic toxic deeper-life, Neo-evangelical, apostasy of BJU. Please don't hire anyone from Bob Jones, unless you want to see your church spiritually die too! Lordship Salvation is NOT the free grace Gospel, but that is all BJU preaches today, bidding Godspeed to Pastor John MacArthur (the modern godfather of Calvinism and Lordship Salvation, an accursed false prophet).

I wrote this article simply to enlighten you dear reader why there is so much tension in today's churches, to explain why I am constantly preaching against Bob Jones University and the cult of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. These institutions are apostate! In Matthew 7:21-23, those religious folks were committed to Christ, they boasted of their MANY WONDERFUL WORKS, they boasted that the preached in Jesus' name, they even called Him “Lord, Lord.” But the Bible says Jesus did not know them as His sheep. Jesus denied them! Christ Himself will someday say to the Lordship Salvation crowd, as they weep and attempt to defend themselves, saying “Did we not serve you Jesus, calling you 'LORD',” but Jesus will say the most frightening words anyone could ever hear: “DEPART FROM ME YE THAT WORK INIQUITY: I NEVER KNEW YOU” (Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 13:23-24; Matthew 7:13-15; 2nd Corinthians 11:13-15; Titus 1:10-13; Jude 1:3; Galatians 1:6-9).

The reason why there is so much tension today between the churches, is simply because Satan is the enemy of God, and evil is always trying to destroy good. Most so-called “churches” are cults, and most professed “Christians” have never been born-again, and are not true believers (Matthew 7:21-23; Matthew 6:7-8; Matthew 15:8; 1st Peter 1:23). I have been horribly made the bad guy, the villain, counted as an “enemy” like the Apostle Paul (Galatians 4:16), by the shameful Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, told to (verbatim) “Go elsewhere by their wicked Bob Jones graduate pastors, but I have had nowhere to go since 2014, staying home on Sundays. My blood is on their hands! My blood is on Marty Herron's hands. God will judge between me and them (Galatians 6:7).

Dear reader, the Bible teaches that we need false prophets. I was happy when I found this Scripture passage in 1st Corinthians 11:19, “For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. We need damnable false teachers like Steve Pettit, Marty Herron, Charles Phelps, Sam Horn, John MacArthur, Adrian Rogers, Gary Walton and Ray Comfort, so that TRUTH-TELLERS like me who preach Bible sound doctrine can be made manifest to all. It is not a matter of opinion friend, it is a matter of what the inspired King James Bible says (Romans 3:4). You cannot show me any of the garbage being taught today by the Wrong Repentance and Lordship Salvation crowd, from the inspired Word of God (Mark 7:9).

We've Got A Bunch Of Incompetent Pastors Today

2nd Timothy 2:15-18, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.”

I really hate today's Bible colleges. I hate them because they are like the mothership—when they sink, they take all of their graduates and affiliated churches down with them! Such is the sad case of Bob Jones University. The college was founded in 1927 by Dr. Bob Jones Sr. Back then in 1945, the school still believed that salvation was solely by faith in Jesus Christ. But somewhere along the way, years after Brother Jones went to Heaven in 1968, infidels infiltrated the college and crept in damnable heresies. Today in 2021, BJU sadly preaches hardcore Lordship Salvation.

I get so disgusted every time I meet up with BJU graduates, or view their Statement of Faiths online, seeing all the heretical beliefs they promote. Case in point is Pastor Ngian Ping of the Grace Independent Baptist Church in Singapore. Here are some of their corrupt beliefs:
Scripture
By ‘inspiration’, we mean that the Books of the Bible were written by holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally, uniquely, and verbally inspired and free from any error in its original form.
We believe that God oversaw transmission and translation of His Word; that, although minor problems do exist in transcription, He preserves His truths as promised. We further believe that inspiration has ceased at the completion of the Canon and since then no person will ever be inspired to write Scripture in this age. [emphasis added]

Do you see how insane and contradictory those statements are? Literally, Pastor Ping is saying that our omnipotent holy God was not competent enough to preserve a perfect inspired copy of His Word for today! Foolish wise men (stupid Bible professors) think they know more than God. The Lord PROMISED in Psalms 12:6-7 to keep and to preserve His pure Word from that generation FOREVER! But because these pseudo-scholars cannot wrap their little finite brains around the workings of an omnipotent God, they change the Bible, totally REMOVING God's promise to preserve His pure Words. These are wicked devils!

Dear friend, if you don't have a King James Bible, you don't have God's inspired Word! And if you do have a King James Bible, you hold in your hands God's inerrant, infallible, kept and preserved, perfect, incorruptible, inspired Words! Psalms 119:140, “Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.” The Psalmist, David, didn't love God's Words because they came close, but had minor problems! No, David exclaimed that he loved God's Word because it IS VERY PURE! These reprobates today would have us to believe that all Bible translations are imperfect, contain minor errors, and cannot be wholly reliable upon. Well then we have a big problem, because if you tell even one lie, all of your truths become suspect. If even one Bible passage could be flawed, then it could be any one of them! So how can God's child feel perfect peace, having to search through HUNDEDS of English Bible revisions to find the truth? Obviously, we cannot. Ngian Ping, GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN!!!

Pastor Ping is a Bob Jones University graduates, which speaks volumes. BJU is the Devil's college, preaching a corrupt gospel of misunderstood repentance, Lordship Salvation, from the corruptible seed (the modern Bible perversions) that they spread. Here again is the Statement of Faith if the apostate Grace Independent Baptist Church in Singapore...
Repentance and Faith

We believe that repentance and faith are solemn obligations, and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the quickening Spirit of God. Thereby, being deeply convicted of our guilt, danger, and helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with genuine contrition, confession and supplication for mercy; at the same time turning from our sins, heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ and openly confessing Him as our only and all sufficient Saviour. [emphasis added]

This is heresy! You cannot show me even one Bible verse that teaches to “repent of sin” or “turn away from sin” to receive God's free gift of eternal life. When you confront these infidels with THE TRUTH of the Gospel, they attempt to defend themselves by accusing free grace believers of “leaving off repentance.” No, we haven't left off repentance, we just don't agree with their FALSE understanding of what Bible repentance means. The Bible meaning of the word “repent” as a noun is simply “a change of mind.” As a verb, repentance means “to think differently.” It does NOT mean, “to change your life.” Repentance does not mean reformation (turning from sin). What saith the Scripture? John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.I didn't see anything in there about forsaking your sinful bad habits, did you?

Folks, the Bob Jones camp are corrupt. Tens of thousands of their graduates are destroying churches worldwide, infecting them with the Devil's damnable lie of Lordship Salvation. I am brokenhearted often when I see good people, corrupted and hellbound in their sins, all because of Bob Jones pastors who have lied to them about how to get to Heaven. I receive emails all the time from scared people, who are worried they are not saved because they haven't turned away from their sins. Many of them worry because they do not feel hatred toward their sins, and they want to hold onto their pet sins, so now they fear they may not be saved after hearing infidel preachers like Adrian Rogers, Chip Ingram, John Piper, Paul Washer, Ray Comfort, John MacArthur, Marty Herron, Sam Horn, Gary Walton, Steve Pettit, Chuck Phelps, Daniel Phelps, Ngian Ping and other evildoers!!! Anybody who preaches another gospel is an evildoer, and God curses them to Hell (Galatians 1:6-9; 3:1-3; 5:4; 6:7).

The apostate Harvest Baptist Church on Guam are evildoers, bidding Godspeed to evildoers like Steve Pettit (president of BJU). 2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.Pastor's Marty Herron and Gary Walton have MUCH blood on their hands, bidding Godspeed to false teachers like John MacArthur, Charles Phelps and Steve Pettit. These men belong in prison for all the lives that they have destroyed, by ruthlessly preaching a false gospel of partial faith in Christ plus turning from your sins to be saved. The King James Bible does NOT teach that.

I could show you hundreds of examples of how corrupt the modern Bible revisions are, but here is just one. And here you will see my dear reader, why the King James Bible is so accurate and trustworthy, and the only Bible you should use...
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) - Mark 10:24, “And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!”

EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) - Mark 10:24, “The followers were amazed at what Jesus said. But he said again, “My children, it is very hard to enter God’s kingdom!”
ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION (ESV) - Mark 10:24, “And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God!
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV) - Mark 10:24, “The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!”

HOLMAN CHRISTIAN STANDARD BIBLE (HCSB) - Mark 10:24, “But the disciples were astonished at His words. Again Jesus said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!”
Do you see what these incompetent translators all removed? They removed the phrase THEM THAT TRUST IN RICHES. The Bible never said it is HARD TO BE SAVED. 2nd Corinthians 11:3-4 calls the Gospel “the simplicity that is in Christ.” It is only hard for rich people to get saved, because they love their money. Rich people are rarely humble. Poor people have nothing to lose. So often wealthy people already think they have a form of heaven on earth (fame, fortune, pleasures), so they don't need Jesus Christ. Regardless of one's interpretation of why rich people have more difficulty getting saved, the Bible doesn't say it is HARD to be saved. The Devil's modern Bibles pervert the truth. 

So should it be surprising that the Bob Jones crowd preach a counterfeit plan of salvation, which they get from their host of counterfeit Bible versions? I think not. Please friends, we must all mark (identify) and avoid these wolves in sheep's clothing from Bob Jones University (Romans 16:17-18). We've got a bunch of incompetent pastors today. Ladies and gentleman, there are NOT two different Gospels. You either must make an effort to turn away from your sinning to be saved, or else you can simply trust Jesus Christ and don't have to stop one sin to be saved. The former is of the Devil, the latter is what the King James Bible teaches. You don't go to Hell because you won't quit your sinning. You go to Hell because you refuse to come to Jesus Christ by faith as your personal Savior (John 5:40, 6:37).

I Stand By The Inspired King James Bible

2nd Corinthians 2:17, “For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak ...
