Luke 8:11-15, “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.”
In his heretical sermon titled, “False Faith,” Pastor Chuck Phelps of the Colonial Hills Baptist Church cites some statistics, saying that 74% of Americans claim to have some sort of relationship with Jesus Christ. Yet, Phelps alleges that because of all the sin running rampant in these professed believer's lives, it proves that they were never really saved at all. You see, he is foolishly confusing and mixing sanctification with justification.
Pastor Phelps at 11:10 time in his heretical sermon says:
Dear reader, what you just read is totally unscriptural. If you have to look at your life to prove that you are saved, it proves that you are not!!! Salvation is a new birth, not a reward or exchange. Salvation is received, not achieved. Salvation is a TAKE proposition, not a GIVE proposition. God wants you to, by faith, freely TAKE His free gift of eternal life. God is already offering eternal life to you, so you don't need to ask for it. God is already offering it freely to you. If you will simply by faith take God at His Word, believing what He has recorded in His Written Word, you will be instantly and forever saved. Acts 16:30b-31, “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.” All we are taught to do to be saved is to BELIEVE!!!“If you're professed faith has not produced CHANGE it's false faith. He's saying if your confession has not CHANGED YOUR LIFE, it will not result in eternal life. What you say with your lips must be backed-up with your life, or it's false faith!” [emphasis added] —Pastor Charles Phelps, “False Faith” (time - 11:10; November 1, 2009 - Sunday morning)
The Bible teaches that we are declared justified by faith alone. Getting saved is a legal matter. You and I are guilty of violating God's commandments. God's law condemns all humanity as being guilty sinners. Romans 3:19-20, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” The law brings us to Jesus Christ, so we can be freely justified by faith alone. ...
Galatians 3:24-26, “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”
Dear reader, if you'll simply take the Word of God at face value, and not read into the Bible what it doesn't say, you will see as I do that salvation has nothing to do with your works. Pastor Chuck Phelps is a wicked false teacher! There is a cut-throat gang of religious thugs in America, who are all Bob Jones University alumni or closely affiliated with the cult. Maranatha Baptist University, Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, and other ungodly corrupt institutions today have all gone hardcore Calvinist in their theology concerning salvation.
Other wicked false teachers are Pastor Marty Herron (executive vice president of Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary), Evangelist Steve Pettit (president of Bob Jones University), Dr. Sam Horn (president of Master's University), Pastor John MacArthur (Grace To You ministry in California), Gary Walton (Harvest Baptist Church on Guam), et cetera. These ungodly infidels are dangerous!!! These wicked men all corrupt God's grace, preaching another gospel of partial faith in Christ plus works. These are all BJU graduates and supporters. Bob Jones University is the rot of fundamentalism today, a cesspool of iniquity!!!
Dr. Steve Pettit is a devil in the pulpit today, whom ungodly institutions like Pensacola Christian College (PCC) and Campus Church in Pensacola, Florida bid Godspeed to. SHAME ON THEM!!! Look at this Satanic garbage that Steve Pettit preaches at BJU chapel...
Steve Pettit is a fool to say that you cannot profess faith in Christ and then 100% claim to know that you're going to Heaven. Pettit errantly teaches that you are required to live the Christian life (aka, run the race) until the end to be saved. Dr. Pettit is a parasite in the pulpit! These men are leeches who prey upon unsuspecting churches everywhere. It is so sad and tragic that naïve people in churches today don't question the things that they are taught.“You can't just speak about getting saved, and you accepted Christ, and then that's it! There is a justification; There is a sanctification; There's ultimately a glorification, and though there are three parts, they are all part of the whole, and you cannot separate them. In order for you to qualify for the award, you have to get into the race, you have to stay in the race, and you have to finish the race. If you want to win, you have to run to the end; and winning in the Christian life is everything, because if you lose—if you don't finish—you lose everything—you lose your SOUL. And so, the Christian race is the life of faith that begins, is run, and is finished when we cross over into Heaven!” [emphasis added] —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 11:34)
In the Bible, the Apostle Paul praised the Bereans for not merely going along with whatever they were told; but rather, they searched the Scriptures daily to verify what they were being taught, to see if it was accurate or bullcrap like what Chuck Phelps, Marty Herron And Steve Pettit are sinfully preaching. Acts 17:11, “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” We don't have noble people in the churches today, we've got a bunch of deceived fools like at the shameful Harvest Baptist Church cult on Guam. Pastor Gary Walton is a disgraceful cult leader!!!
These wicked churches bid Godspeed to demonic cult headquarters at Bob Jones University (BJU). These men all belong in prison for damning people's souls to Hell. Ultimately, one day they will be cast into the Lake of Fire, reaping the evil false gospel which they have sown (Galatians 6:7). Marty Herron destroyed the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, leaving it in spiritual shambles and a broken house full of anger, resentment and hostility. Much of Harvest's staff resigned and fled the island of Guam to get away from Pastor Herron's counterfeit gospel, thuggish attitude that refused to receive THE TRUTH I gave him, and his phony superficial style of showboat Christianity. Marty Herron is a devil in the pulpit!!!
“Faith” for salvation according to Ellen White, Steve Pettit, Gary Walton, Chuck Phelps and Marty Herron is not simply trusting upon the Gospel to be saved; but also, salvation is a package deal [they say] that requires sanctification and glorification, and you cannot merely get saved and that's it! Folks, that is a works-based plan of salvation!!! Ellen G. White teaches that the Christian faith encompasses all of the obligations of living the Christian life. That is exactly what Steve Pettit teaches! ...
This is so sad and tragic, to see this kind of Satanic junk theology being taught at Bob Jones University today. My God, what has happened to BJU? Ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when you dip your sails, the Devil creeps in!!! Nowhere in the Bible are we taught that perseverance is required to prove that our faith is real. The presence of our faith in Jesus Christ is proof enough in itself. If you offer me a birthday gift and I accept it, that is all the proof required to know that the gift is forever mine to keep. You would think I had taken leave of mind sanity if I gave you a gift, but then required you to live a better life to prove to me that your reception of my gift was sincere. How absurd would that be? Yes, you would think of me as being crazy! Steve Pettit is preaching CRAZY THEOLOGY!“God's people HAVE TO continue in the faith! They MUST PERSEVERE, because perseverance is the testimony of the reality of your faith!” [emphasis added] —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 25:13)“For the real reality of the genuineness of your faith is that you are faithful to run the race!” —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 22:44)
Pastor Chuck Phelps made this heretical statement:
“You can't work to have salvation, but if you have salvation it will work!” [emphasis added] —Pastor Charles Phelps, “False Faith” (time - 30:13; November 1, 2009 - Sunday morning)
Folks, what you just read is silly garbage! It doesn't even make sense what he just said. Eternal life is a free gift, period. You accept it by faith alone and then it is forever yours to keep. The very idea that possessing eternal life will somehow transform our life and change our behavior is foreign to the Scriptures.
In the Bible, believers are exhorted to VOLUNTARILY present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. We are taught that the way our life becomes transformed is by having our mind renewed. The fact that the Apostle Paul clarified that this matter is VOLUNATARILY, proves that it is not mandatory for salvation...
Romans 12:1-2, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Christ paid our debt of sin on the cross (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). Jesus paid for our sins with His precious blood (1st Peter 1:18-19). Once justified, every believer is “JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS” (Acts 13:39b). From that point on as a child of God our sanctification journey begins. Depending on how well we are mentored, and if a good church exists for us to attend, and several other factors, we will either grow or languish in our Christian growth.
The Parable Of The Sower And The Seeds
We see this truth taught in The Parable Of The Sower And The Seeds in Luke 8:11-15. The “seed” is the Word of God (vs. 11). Some seeds fell among thorns, other upon shallow ground, and some on fertile ground. These were all believers! Only the first group were unsaved, the seeds which fell upon stony ground and the birds (Devil) took the seeds away. The last three groups were all born-again believers.
Obviously then, not all Christians mature to perfection as Chuck Phelps foolishly teaches. These ungodly Calvinists confuse multiples of people, leading worldly believers to think they are not really saved. The Bible says that some seeds fell on shallow ground. These are believers who quit church and never grow in the Lord. Infidels like Chuck Phelps claim they were never saved, but the Bible says they are shallow. They are carnal (1st Corinthians 3:1). In the heretical mindset of Steve Pettit, Chuck Phelps, Marty Herron, Gary Walton and other reprobates of the faith, carnal Christians don't exist. There is no middle ground in their foolish thinking!
The Lord spoke in His parable about the seeds which were “choked” by the cares and riches of this world (Luke 8:14). There are tens of millions of choked believers today in the world. They have been distracted from serving Christ. They have been thrown off course because of “the sin which doth so easily beset us” (Hebrews 12:1b). They have been diverted because of the love of money and the riches of this temporal world. But they are saved!!! The Lord simply said they didn't mature in the Lord for various reasons, but Jesus never said that this proved they were never saved at all. You dear friend must choose whether to follow the theology of Jesus Christ, or the corrupt junk theology of the demonic Bob Jones University camp today! I'm going to follow Jesus' teachings!!!
You CAN get saved in an instant and KNOW IT 100%! Steve Pettit says you cannot! What a devil. What a liar! The Bob Jones crowd are vile, corrupt and must be exposed for the false teachers that they are!!!
