I made this Blog to begin a commentary on the King James Bible. My goal is not to comment on every verse in the Bible, but to humbly share my knowledge of what I have learned in my 41 years as a born-again Christian. This will be an ongoing labor of love, with the goal of helping you dear reader to solidify your understanding of THE TRUTH. John 17:17, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
Galatians 3:1-3, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”
The world is full of false religiousites who do many wonderful works (Matthew 7:21-23). You cannot impress God with your works, not before or after you are saved. If you are trying to prove to God that your faith is genuine by the works that you do, then you truly HAVE NO FAITH!!! The evidence that you are saved is the gift of the blessed indwelling Holy Spirit (1st John 3:24). You cannot prove that your faith is real by doing works!!! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! Faith is faith and works is works.
That is why the Apostle Paul said in Galatians 3:2-3, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” You don't get saved by faith and then prove your faith by works!!! That is exactly the type of thinking which the Apostle is refuting in the Epistle of Galatians!!! The Galatian churches had bought into the Devil's mindset that you get saved by faith, but then keep the law to prove that your faith is real. That is the same counterfeit false gospel being preached by Bob Jones University and their corrupt graduates today!!! Paul scolded the Galatian churches for having this perverse mindset, because it is another gospel which cannot produce the new birth in Jesus Christ!
Galatians 3:2-3, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” The corrupt Bob Jones University (BJU) camp today deceitfully claim to believe in a salvation by grace alone through faith alone, but then they errantly teach that if you don't do WORKS to prove that you faith is real, you're not saved. That is another gospel. Mark 12:24, “And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?” Steve Pettit, Marty Herron, Gary Walton, John McArthur and other Bob Jones infidels DO ERROR, BECAUSE THEY KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, NEITHER THE POWER OF GOD!!! Romans 1:16 says that the POWER OF GOD unto salvation is the Gospel, to them who wholly trust in Jesus' name.
The Apostle rebuked the corrupt churches of Galatia for changing the terms of their salvation from that of grace to works. They started out believing the Gospel, but then were deceived by a local religious cult who convinced them to keep the law to prove that their faith is real. This proved that they were never saved at all, because ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED!!! No one has ever lost God's salvation. You either had it and always will, or else you don't today and never did. Steve Pettit was never saved to begin with. Dr. Pettit is the theologically incompetent president of Bob Jones University today (since 2014). Please read here what Steve Pettit horribly preaches at BJU chapel. Our Baptist churches are in pathetic shape today. Evidence of what I say is that they bid Godspeed to the shameful Bob Jones crowd.
The Often Misunderstood Epistle Of James
Now, in the Epistle of James the Apostle teaches that our faith is justified IN THE SIGHT OF MEN ONLY, but never God. The Bob Jones camp attach works to faith, which is another gospel.
James 2:17-24, “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 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? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”
A very important rule to follow when interpreting the Bible is to NEVER use an obscure passage to contradict a clear one. This is where many Bible students go astray while attempting to interpret the Word of God. A perfect example of this Bible study principle is this obscure passage in James 2:17-24. We know it is obscure because there is so MUCH theological debate over what it means. But we have rock solid passages of Scripture in the Gospel of John and Romans 4:1-6 which plainly declare that God's imputed righteousness is “WITHOUT WORKS” (Romans 4:5b). That doesn't only exclude works at the time of salvation, but works at any time in a saint's life.
Carefully notice that James says “SHEW ME” and “I WILL SHEW THEE.” James 2:18 that 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.” This has nothing to do with being justified in the sight of almighty God. Proof of what I say is the book of Romans, in which the Apostle Paul makes it very clear that men are justified in the sight of God WITHOUT WORKS:
Romans 4:3-7, “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.”
It is a folly to teach that we are saved by faith alone, but then works are required to prove that our faith is real faith. What such incompetent preachers are effectively doing is redefining faith to mean works. Think about that! If I must do works to prove that I have faith, how is that not righteousness by keeping the deeds of the law? It is one and the same!
I know what I am talking about dear friend. I know because I have been saved now for 41 years (since age 13 in 1980) and I've been around the block a few times! I know because I have spent my life studying false religion and the truth of God's inspired Word. The Devil's lies of Calvinism (i.e., the teachings of an infidel named John Calvin, 1509-1564) have crept unawares into our churches today. “Lordship” salvation is nothing more than Calvinism repackaged! Miss Ellen G. White (legendary prophetess of Seventh-Day Adventism) preaches the SAME false understanding of faith to mean works as does Dr. Steve Pettit (president of Bob Jones University). I just wrote an article exposing Chuck Phelps (senior pastor of the Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana). These ungodly false prophets have corrupted the Word of God, perverting God's grace by redefining faith to mean works, and in so doing have cast stumbling blocks before the people!!!
Works Do Not Prove The Reality Of The Genuineness Of Our Faith
Galatians 3:1-3, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Paul wanted to know how they got saved. That is, how did they become indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God? Was it by keeping the works of the law (i.e., turning away from your sinful ways)? Or did you get saved simply by BELIEVING the Gospel when you heard it preached? The latter is God's plan of salvation. The former is damnation!!!
Matthew 21:32, “For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.” 2nd Timothy 2:25-26, “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
I am so sick and tired of hearing corrupt preachers tell people to “TURN FROM SINFUL WAYS” to get born-again. Dear reader, giving up your sinful ways is NOT necessary to be saved. God is freely offering forgiveness of sins and eternal life to you as a GIFT. Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The only way to obtain God's gift is through the Son JESUS CHRIST!!!
You cannot show me anywhere in the inspired King James Bible where it says that repentance means to “turn away from sinful ways” to be saved. Wicked religious men invented this lie! To the carnal nature it makes sense that a man should first be willing to forsake his sins before God will pardon those sins. But that is not how God's plan of salvation works. Eternal life is a free gift! You don't have to qualify to receive it. You simply need to know why you need it. You must know that you're a guilty sinner, otherwise why would you need to be saved?
That is the only requirement to be saved, that you come to God as a guilty sinner (Romans 3:19-23). That is why the publicans (tax cheats) and harlots came to Jesus to be saved in Matthew 21:32. They knew they were guilty sinners. They changed their thinking (repented) to BELIEVE on Jesus Christ to be saved. The self-righteous Pharisees refused to think differently, because they were full of themselves and refused to come as sinners. 2nd Timothy 2:25 teaches that repentance is toward THE TRUTH. This has nothing to do with turning away from sinful behavior. False religion has crept unawares into most churches today. Sadly, even into our fundamentalist Baptist churches!!! Calvinism is NOT the Gospel, not even close!
Repentance is simply acknowledging THE TRUTH that you are as guilty a sinner as God hath declared you to be in His Word (Romans 3:10-23). We are all guilty sinners! Therefore, we all need a Savior! We all need to get born-again (John 3:3), or else we'll go to burn in Hell forever (Revelation 20:11-15). God is freely offering forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all humanity, to anyone who will simply admit to being a guilty sinner and put your faith in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, Who was crucified, buried and risen for our justification. That is the Gospel (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). That is the Good News! Believe it oh sinner and you are saved!!!
I triple-dog dare you to show me even one place in the inspired King James Bible where it says that you must “TURN FROM SINFUL WAYS” to be saved. You cannot!!! What saith the Scripture? ...
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 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
Acts 2:41, “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
Acts 10:43-44, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.”
Galatians 3:2-3, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”
Ephesians 1:13-14, “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”
I don't see anything in these precious Scriptures about turning away from your sinful ways, do you? I don't see anything about surrendering all to Christ as “Lord,” do you? I don't see anything about faithfully running and finishing the race to get the award of Heaven (as Steve Pettit foolishly preaches), do you? The Bible simply says to BELIEVE on the name of Jesus Christ as your Savior!!! Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins. He was buried. Three days later Jesus physically resurrected from the dead (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). If you BELIEVE that 'GOOD NEWS' (GOSPEL) you are saved!!!
Revelation 20:15, “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
The Holy Bible is very clear that eternal damnation does exist. Hell is real. All Christ-rejecters whose names are not found written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be cast by the angels into the everlasting Lake of Fire to suffer and burn day and night without rest in torment, suffering the wrath of an angry God. The Bible could not be more clear.
One of my faithful web visitor wrote to me today, insisting that Renee Roland is one of few believers who still faithfully preach the true Gospel on YouTube. Here is the stern reply that I sent to him:
Kindly, she [Renee] doesn't preach the true Gospel if she denies that eternal damnation exists. Without a burning Hell there is no reason for the cross of Jesus Christ. She is corrupt in her thinking and a false teacher who needs to be exposed. I will never support nor recommend her YouTube channel to anyone. I am sorry that her house burned down. It is important to keep these two issues separate.
Her house burning down is awful. But she has thousands of people following and agreeing with her that Hell doesn't exist. The Bible says in Romans 5:9, "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." If there is no Hell then where is God's WRATH?
I feel sick that her house burned down, but maybe this is God's way of opening Renee's eyes that Hell is real.
Kindest regards
Perhaps some people think it harsh of me to criticize Renee's false teaching at a time when her house just burned down and she is hurting emotionally, but dear friend, billions of people are ready to perish into an everlasting Lake of Fire and Brimstone the Bible says. Jesus warned everyone in Matthew 7:13-15, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Jesus said that “MANY” people are traveling down the highway which leads to destruction. When the popular rock band AC/DC performs their iconic song, “Highway To Hell,” they mean it!
Sadly, Renee Roland is one of those false prophets Jesus mentioned in Matthew 7:15, those ravenous wolves who come to us wearing sheep's clothing. I am not trying to be mean, insensitive or unkind, God knows my heart. I am simply using this tragedy to draw attention to the reality of a burning Hell for all people who die in their sins without Christ as their personal Savior. Hell is real. As a Baptist preacher I use anything I can find to convey truth to people, because I love others and don't want anyone to go to Hell forever (2nd Peter 3:9).
Hell Is Real And Forever!!!
If God allows people's homes to burn down, and for some to die in a fire, then why is it so hard to accept that people will suffer in eternity? As a student of religion, I am very familiar with the different pseudo-Christian cults. The Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh-Day Adventists deny the existence of a burning Hell. These damnable religious cults have been leading people into the fires of Hell throughout the 20th century and still today.
According to a George Barna poll, 76% of Americans believe that Heaven exists, but 71% don't believe that Hell exists. Of those polled, only 32% believed that Hell is a literal place of suffering and torment. Only .05% (1 in 200 people) believed that they were personally going to Hell. Is it any wonder why the Gospel (the seed of God's Word - Luke 8:11) has fallen upon stony ground (Luke 8:12), so that few people are coming to Christ anymore to be saved? If there is no eternal damnation then there is no need for the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen! Why would you need a Savior if there is no threat of damnation?
I am truly sorry that Renee's house burned down. I can understand her tears and feel of loss, because a lot of living went on in that house over the decades. I once had my car stolen and I wept when I found it all smashed up at the city pound after some hoodlums stole it. I cried. The man who ran the lot at the city dump in Chicago said to me, “It's just a car.” I replied, “You don't understand, a lot of living went on in that car. I took my family to the Wisconsin State Fair in that car. We went out to eat and to the zoo in that car. I drove my mother to the hospital in that car in 1989 when she had a crippling stroke and never walked again. I took my family to church each Sunday in that car. So, no, it's not 'Just a car'.” Surely, losing a car is not the same as losing a house, but I do understand the sentimental feeling of loss that Renee is experiencing right now, to some degree.
Dear reader, there is no sin as horrible as denying the truth of eternal damnation for the lost. The Gospel loses it's power when there is no risk of eternal punishment. It is ridiculous for Renee to preach the Gospel, while at the same time denying the existence of a burning Hell where lost sinners are tormented by God for eternity. YouTube is a cesspool of heresy and damnable false doctrine. In her most recent video, Renee says while crying: “I know God is somehow going to use this for good.” It is my sincere prayer that God will use this tragedy to open Renee's eyes to the reality that a burning Hell DOES exist.
I am not berating Renee during her time of calamity, I am drawing attention to the reality of Hell which she wickedly denies on YouTube. If you go look at her video (one of many) in which she denies eternal damnation, you'll see that her video has received 8,355 views and has received 1,151 comments! Renee is making an impact for the Devil. This is exactly why the Bible forbids women preachers, because like Eve they are easily prone to doctrinal deception. The GOOD NEWS (Gospel) is worthless if there is no BAD NEWS! The bad news is that you are a dirty, guilty, sinner deserving of eternal damnation!!! And if you don't get saved (if you haven't already), you will be tormented in the fires of Hell for ever and ever without rest or hope!!! Psalms 9:17, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”
Again, I am sorry that Renee's house burned down, but billions of people are going to spend eternity burning in the fires of Hell. Renee boldly denies this Bible truth. She makes light of THE TRUTH. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!! I am sick and tired of foolish web visitors who tell me how great Renee Roland is because she is one of few people who gets the Gospel right. Dear friend, if you get the BAD NEWS wrong, the GOOD NEWS doesn't make any sense!!! What would be the benefit of being acquitted in a court of law for murder, if there were no punishment imposed for committing the crime? The reason why people weep and cry with joy when the jury acquits them of the offense of murder, is because they were facing life in prison without parole or death if found guilty and convicted! The BAD NEWS makes redemption the GOOD NEWS! The GOSPEL cannot be the “GOOD NEWS” if there is no BAD NEWS!!!
Kindly said, Renee is a loud-mouthed woman preacher who is woefully ignorant of the Word of God. The Gospel is ineffective to save anyone who doesn't think they are sinful enough to deserve to be punished in Hell forever. I didn't say that, God did! Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” God freely offers us His gift of eternal life. Why? Because by our own sins we have earned the wages of sin, which the Bible says is DEATH. We all deserve Capital Punishment in God's justice system, and if you die in your sins you WILL spend eternity without end being tormented in fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8), mercilessly day and night without rest (Revelation 14:11). Do you really think that God is less righteous than man? In this temporary life men punish evildoers, so do you think God doesn't? A BURNING HELL EXISTS!!!
Luke 10:20, “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”
Our precious Lord plainly said that WE CAN REJOICE that we are saved certain, right now, today, this very moment. I am sick and tired of hearing ungodly Calvinist false prophets saying that you cannot know that you are saved at the moment of faith. Read for yourself their horrible heretical self-incriminating statements...
Evangelist Steve Pettit (president of Bob Jones University) heretically said this:
“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)
Pastor Paul Washer heretically said this:
“We talk about the Germans of the 20th centuries that brought on their higher criticism. It is not near as dangerous as conservative Baptists with their gospel reductionism. How dare we, all these stupid evangelists walking around telling men after they've made some little prayer that they need to write their name in the back of their Bible, and put the date and if the Devil ever comes to them, they need to show him that. That is Roman superstition, it is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. You see we've turned the gospel into a flu-shot.” —Paul Washer Sermonette
On page 1513 of THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, under the section “Questions & Objections,” Evangelist Ray Comfort addresses the statement: “Because Jesus died on the cross we are forgiven of every sin.” Here’s Ray Comfort’s heretical reply to this statement:
“The forgiveness that is in Jesus Christ is conditional upon ‘repentance towards God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ’ (Acts 20:21). It is a gift that God offers to everyone, but individuals must receive it by repenting and trusting in Christ, or they will remain dead in their sins. No one has Biblical grounds to continue in sin, assuming that they are safe just because Jesus died on the cross. See 1 John 3:4-6.” [Emphasis added] —THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, by Ray Comfort, pg. 1513; 2003, Bridge-Logos Publishers, Orlando, Florida
Do you see how this ungodly false teachers are pervert the new birth, instead teaching that you cannot KNOW 100% that you are eternally secure at the time you get saved. This is because they are deceived rotten Calvinists! In the Calvinist's errantly mindset, you must prove the reality of the genuineness of your faith by living a changed life, by turning away from a lifestyle of sin and living a permanent lifestyle as such. If you think I am exaggerating, please read this shocking heresy by Ray Comfort, in which he heretically requires people to LIVE LIFESTYLE to get to Heaven!!!
How do all those preceding heretical statements of discouragement, doubt and fear compare to our blessed Savior's command for all believers to REJOICE, BECAUSE YOUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN??? The dear Savior spoke with solid confidence, not uncertainty hinged upon one's improved behavior, commitment to serve Christ and faithfulness to persevere in the Christian life. ...
My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.
Dear friend, there is no eternal security in Calvinism!!!
Paul Washer Rejects Believing the Gospel for Immediate Salvation
Here again Paul Washer berates “the simplicity that is in Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4), criticizing Easy-Believism. Washer likens Gospel tracts, praying a Sinner's Prayer, and being born-again to a quick fix-it-all FLU-SHOT:
I ask people, “Are you saved?” They say, “Don't worry about me preacher, I took care of that a long time ago.” You did what? “I took care of that a long time ago!” Oh, something like getting a flu-shot I suppose. “Yep, don't worry about me, I repented and I believed.” Only to tell them—Sir, the evidence that you truly repented unto salvation on that day is that you're still repenting today; and the evidence that you truly believed unto salvation on that day a long time ago, is you're still believing today and growing in both these graces. It's not a flu-shot. It's not something you get done! It's not something you take care of!
How do you know you're a new creature? Because you do the things new creatures do!
Those are some frightening words made by Paul Washer. He says getting saved is not something you get done. Washer is wrong!!! Paul Washer says salvation is not something that you take care of. He is oh so wrong!!! Paul Washer errantly views repentance as meaning to improve your behavior by turning away from lifelong sinful bad habits. Repentance in the Bible concerning salvation has NOTHING to do with behavior modification. The word “repent” simply means “to think differently.” Repentance is changing your mind from wrong thinking to believing the Gospel. That is all repentance is, nothing more.
Do you see how corrupt Mr. Washer is in his perverse theology? In Washer's thinking, your entire life either validates or condemns your profession of faith, so that no man can boldly say that he is born-again and safe in Jesus Christ, until he has spent his life proving himself that his faith is sincere, real and lasting. This is works salvation, and not the gift of God. This is NOT the imputed righteousness of God (Philippians 3:9). Genesis 15:6 tells us that Abram (Abraham) was justified by faith, so that HIS FAITH WAS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS!!! This truth is reiterated in our text verses from Romans 4:5-6.
Jesus gives an invitation for those who are tired, weary and burdened to come unto Him. Matthew 11:28-30, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” I thank God that my salvation is solely based upon completely resting in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul Washer's plan of salvation is something very different, which requires a life of turning away from sin and following Jesus as Lord. This is exactly what Seventh-day Adventist heretic Ellen G. White teaches. Sadly, over half of America's Baptist churches are going straight to Hell to burn in torment for ever and ever, because they are trusting in ANOTHER GOSPEL.
If you agree with Paul Washer that a person cannot write down the date, time and place when they became a born-again child of God, then you have believed ANOTHER GOSPEL. The very fact that Washer would teach something like this evidences that he rejects the simplicity that is in Christ for salvation. Washer rejects the idea of an immediate, guaranteed, eternally secure, salvation. Evidently Mr. Washer has never read in Acts 2:41 that 3,000 people got saved in ONE DAY!!! Amen! Paul Washer condemns any preacher or church who claims to have won hundreds (or thousands) of souls to the Lord in a short time frame. Well, then you had better criticize God Mr. Washer, because 3,000 people came to Jesus Christ in one single day. Gotta love soul-winning!!!
I explain to people that one big difference between the true Gospel of free grace and the Devil's lie of Calvinism is that in God's Gospel of free grace we can know immediately that we are 100% assured of eternal life; whereas in Calvinism you cannot, you are required to prove the genuineness of your faith by faithfully living the Christian life, turning away from sinful bad habits and serving God. Calvinists view salvation as a process, but the Bible teaches that getting saved is a new birth (John 3:3-7; 1st Peter 1:23). Getting saved is indeed something that you need to GET DONE! Paul Washer is pulling on the same rope as the Devil, by conning people to live the Christian life without ever being born-again.
Dear reader, the reason why someone can be saved in an instant, without monitoring their life to see if they have changed, is simply because we are saved by GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is through faith alone in Jesus Christ. What saith the Scripture? Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” When Paul Washer, Steve Pettit, Ray Comfort and other infidels preach that you cannot “just accept Christ” and KNOW 100% that your name is written in Heaven, they are preaching another gospel.
2nd Timothy 3:12, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
My hero and mentor of the Christian faith is Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001). I do not idolize men, I only worship the Lord Jesus Christ. I have had ungodly pastors in the shameful Bob Jones University (BJU) cult accuse me of “worshipping a man” because I love to share and promote Pastor Jack Hyles' books, sermons, quotes and life's philosophies. Yet, those same ungodly BJU apostates hypocritically share and promote books, sermons and quotes by Dr. John MacArthur and other infidels of the faith.
It was in late 2014 that the ungodly pastors of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam unjustly accused me of “worshipping” Jack Hyles. They unjustly accused me and Brother Hyles of being “a cult” for upholding the King James Bible as the inspired Word of God, and because myself and Pastor Hyles expose the Devil's modern revisions as being utterly corrupt.
Dear reader, anytime that you contend for the Christian faith you will be persecuted. Sadly, my harshest criticisms and persecution has not been from ungodly unbelievers, but from fellow Baptists and the religious crowd. You'd think that pastors would appreciate when someone tells them THE TRUTH, but that is not what usually happens. Sadly, 99% of pastors reject and resent when you give them THE TRUTH. Such was the case when I befriended the pastors at the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. They were guilty of preaching another gospel of Calvinism. They were guilty of using and promoting the Devil's Bible revisions. They were guilty of promoting Martin Luther (1483-1546) as a born-again Christian, even after I proved to them that Luther required water baptism for salvation all his life. Instead of thanking me for caring about them, they critiqued me and forced me out of their church. They sided with evil and error, rejecting THE TRUTH that I graciously put right into their incompetent hands.
Dear reader, if you stand for what is right, and struggle (contend) for the faith once delivered unto the saints, you will suffer persecution from the religious crowd. There is not a more rotten, corrupt and wicked religious group today than Bob Jones University and their complicit alumni. Calvinism is a cesspool of Calvinism heresy and damnable lies of Satan. Come what may, I am going to continue to REBUKE THEM SHARPLY as the Bible commands us to do as God's children (Titus 1:10-13).
Jude 1:3-4, “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. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The phrase "earnestly contend for" in Jude 1:3 comes from one Greek word, epagōnizomai, which means: "to struggle for." Literally, as God's children we have a Biblical duty to STRUGGLE FOR the faith.
The Devil never sleeps! Satan knows that his time is short and is relentlessly working night and day to kill, steal and destroy all that is good, holy and righteous in God's sight. We must be wise as believers, "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:16). We must STRUGGLE for the faith once delivered unto the saints. That is, we must "Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God" (Revelation 3:2).
One of the worst sins that I see today are Christians leaders and laymen alike who are indifferent toward false teachers and heresy which has crept into the churches. There is a shameful attitude among many clergy today that it isn't our business what other churches teach and preach. Nothing could be further from THE TRUTH. It is our responsibility to contend (struggle) for the faith.
What if saw an arsonist setting fire to your neighbour's house, but you did nothing? What kind of person would you be if you quietly went into your home with the attitude that it is not your business? Later you learn that your neighbours house burned down and he died along with his wife and five children. You would be a monster! In a sense you would be just as horrible as the arsonist. It is even worse when professed Christians choose not to expose false teachings about salvation in Bible colleges and churches today, which send people into an eternal Lake of Fire.
The Bible exhorts every child of God to STRUGLE for the faith once delivered unto the saints. That is, THE TRUTH of the infallible, preserved, inerrant, perfect, accurate, incorruptible and inspired Word of God. I believe that Holy Book to be the inspired King James Bible for English-speaking people today. Only the King James Bible faithfully uplifts, honors and exalts the Lord Jesus Christ. All of the Devil's modern Bible revisions attack the deity of Jesus, removing every mention of people worshipping Him, replacing the word worship with bowed or knelt. Well you can bow to propose to your fiancée or knee before a king without worshipping either. You see, people worshipped Jesus (like the leper in Matthew 8:2) because He is God. The Devil and his unsaved religious crowd hate Jesus, rejecting His deity.
Let me bring this vital matter home some more. Bob Jones University (BJU) officially uses and promotes the English Stand Version (ESV), which is a dastardly perversion of God's Word. The ESV perverts the meaning of Bible repentance, completely removes every mention of the word sodomite, promotes feminism, assaults the deity of Jesus and pulls on the same rope as the Devil. Even subtle changes to words used and sentence structure can produce major changes in intended meaning. Case in point, look how the ESV corrupts Galatians 5:4.
There is a sickening, loathsome, disgusting, shallow, form of lukewarm Christianity today that only seeks the positive while avoiding the negative. When I attended the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam for several months in 2018, Pastor Sean Quinlan told the church congregation that he didn't want any controversies in his church. Folks, that is a HORRIBLE PASTOR!!! Quinlan was so interested in growing the church that he feared a church split if any controversies arose in the congregation. That sorry rascal confirmed what I say, when he scolded me for talking with other believers in the church about the Devil's modern corrupt Bibles. Pastor Quinlan shamefully rebuked me outside the front door of the church, saying: “I'm trying to build something here. I said I didn't want any controversies in this church.” What a lousy servant of God!
Dear reader, if you think you are building a church for God while shunning THE TRUTH, then you are building in vain!!! Psalms 127:1, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Does not the Word of God teach that the Church is the pillar and ground of THE TRUTH? 1st Timothy 3:15, “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”
It makes no sense that a pastor of a local New Testament church would shun a fellow believer who is zealous about the Word of God. I never interfered with Pastor Quinlan's preaching. I always keep quiet in church. I never tried to usurp influence over the pastor. Sean Quinlan is very wrong on multiple levels. Pastor Quinlan had seen my websites and unjustly criticized me, saying: “You're not an apostle!” I couldn't believe how shallow he was thinking. What a sad little man! I wouldn't give you a dime for a horrible pastor who shuns THE TRUTH in a church, and discourages Christians from learning and telling THE TRUTH.
The truth is that I was, and still am, and always will be, zealous about THE TRUTH. Jesus said that out of the abundance of a man's heart he speaketh (Luke 6:45). I cannot help but speak THE TRUTH!!! It is who I am, praise God. I love God. I love the Word of God. I love the truth! Psalms 15:2, “He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.” If you speak truth in your heart, then Jesus said it will come out of your mouth! But in today's pathetic churches you will very likely be kicked out for telling THE TRUTH.
I cannot help but share THE TRUTH with other people when I engage in private conversations. Pastor Quinlan was upset with me because he admittedly to eavesdropping on my private conversations at church. He said that he'd been listening to me talk around the church for several months and was tired of me always talking about the Bible issue. I couldn't believe how wicked he was talking. You'd think that the one person in the world who would commend and encourage a person to speak THE TRUTH would be a Baptist pastor!!! That's not what happened, Sean Quinlan berated me for sharing THE TRUTH. Proverbs 12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.”
I do not hate Pastor Quinlan, God forbid. I am not mentioning his name to be mean or vengeful. God knows my heart. I am obeying Titus 1:10-13 to “REBUKE THEM SHARPLY” that they might be sound in the faith. 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.” I hate evil. If Pastor Quinlan were right with God, then he would hate evil as I do, and rejoice to hear other believers hating evil too! I hate the Devil's modern Bible revisions. I hate the Devil's lie of Calvinism (aka, “Lordship” salvation). I hate the Devil's false idea that Bible repentance means you must turn away from sinful ways to receive God's gift of eternal life. I hate what God hates, evil; I do not hate people or institutions. I do not hate Bob Jones University, I hate their Calvinism, theological lies, worldliness, misunderstood repentance and Devil's Bibles!
2nd John 1:1-2, “The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.” The Gospel is the light of the truth. Getting saved is a matter of believing THE TRUTH. Jesus is the way, THE TRUTH, and the life (John 14:6). The Bible has much to say about THE TRUTH. I have often wondered why God authored the Bible the way He did, requiring men to “RIGHTLY DIVIDE” the Word of Truth to find the correct meaning. Why did God not just make the Bible more clear? That sure would eliminate a lot of theological debate, wouldn't it? I honestly do not know the answer to that question. But my guess is that God did make the Bible clear to understand, for those who are led by the Holy Spirit of God into all truth. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would teach and guide us into all TRUTH (John 16:13). Amen and amen!
I clearly see a free grace Gospel in the inspired King James Bible. The reason why Calvinists see salvation as a process is because they are not true believers. To the unsaved man, error makes sense. The Bible teaches in 1st Corinthians 2:14-16 that the natural (or unsaved) man cannot understand spiritual things. If a man is wrong on repentance and the Gospel, he is going to go astray on everything else too. It's like the buttons on a dress shirt. If you get the first button wrong, then all the other buttons will be wrong too! You simply cannot trust a preacher who is corrupt on the plan of salvation.
Pastor John MacArthur says a lot of great things theologically and in a limited sense is a brilliant Bible teacher, yet he is a damnable modernist false prophet, a hardcore Calvinist and an unsaved infidel. I cannot recommend for anyone to listen to anything from John MacArthur, because his mindset is horribly wrong regarding how to get to Heaven. MacArthur is like Charles Spurgeon, one moment they seem to preach a free grace Gospel, but the next moment hardcore Calvinism and “Lordship” salvation. Folks, it cannot be both! There is nothing more frustrating and worse than a preacher who talks out of both sides of his mouth. Evangelist Oliver B. Greene is one of them!!!
There is not one verse in the Bible that requires someone to turn away from their sins to be saved. I seriously question the salvation of Oliver B. Greene. Sadly, the most popular preachers of every generation were nearly all hellbound false teachers. If you read the preceding article that I wrote, I share some quotes from Dr. Greene, showing that in 1970 he completely flip-flopped his doctrinal position that earlier quotes he made in his books. At a minimum Dr. Greene was a confused man. I have read his many commentaries on the Bible, which are beneficial and intriguing, but that doesn't mean he is in Heaven today.
The bottom line is what is THE TRUTH. Romans 3:4 says: LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR!!! I am simply going by the inspired Word of God. The Gospel of John is God's Gospel tract according to 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.” Repeatedly throughout the Gospel of John and the Holy Bible, we are taught that the simple way of salvation is to BELIEVE on Christ. Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” We never read anything about turning away from sinful bad habits or living a changed life. Wicked infidel preachers like Marty Herron and Steve Pettit need to stop corrupting the Word of God and casting stumbling blocks before the people!!!
I could write a book about the wickedness of Pastor Sean Quinlan's pathetic attitude! Quinlan called The hardcore Calvinist Harvest Baptist Church on Guam their “sister church.” You mean sister in spiritual whoredom!!! I sharply rebuked Sean Quinlan in his wickedness, for bidding Godspeed to evildoers in the Bob Jones University camp who use, sell and promote the Devil's corruptible seed. 2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” This is not “weaknesses” in other pastors as pastor Jeff Redlin (the shameful senior pastor at Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College) horribly said to me in July of 2021. After looking over my ministry websites, Redlin shamefully accused me of finding the weaknesses of preachers. No, I expose the damnable heresies and counterfeit gospel of the hellbound Calvinist crowd!!! I am so sick and tired of incompetent pastors today who bid Godspeed to evildoers in the Bob Jones University camp who promote the Devil's corruptible seed, preach another gospel of “Lordship” salvation (i.e., Calvinism), preach a false idea of repentance that requires people to modify their behavior to get to Heaven, et cetera.
I have faithfully taken a Biblical stand against the Devil's false Bible, the Devil's false gospel of Calvinism, the Devil's false repentance, the Devil's Bible colleges, the Devil's churches and the Devil's false preachers since 2002 (and by God's grace I intend to continue doing so until God calls me home to be with Him in Heaven). SHAME ON PENSACOLA CHRISTIAN COLLEGE (PCC) and CAMPUS CHURCH for their sinful attitude of isolationism, refusing the fight (struggle) for the faith once delivered unto the saints. It is because of lackadaisical bad pastors like Jeff Redlin and Sean Quinlan that preachers like me have to preach that much harder, longer and zealously, to make up for their indifference, cowardice and lack of concern. That dear friend is why I am so obsessed, rude in my Bible preaching at times and sharp in my tone, as a communication tool to convey THE TRUTH. Since the PCC camp choose to remain neutral in the work of God, I have to compensate for their wickedness! If you become aware of a lie, and you do nothing to expose the lie, you then become part of the lie!

Calvinism is a deadly serpent, far more contagious and lethal than COVID-19. The question is do you care? If your house were on fire I would call 911 and run to warn you. I wouldn't go inside my cozy home and close the door to watch TV, while your home burns to the ground. That is exactly what Pensacola Christian College (PCC) is doing today, hiding in their little group while Bob Jones University (BJU) are sending people to Hell with Devil's Bibles and the Devil's lies of Calvinism. Somebody needs to care! I sure feel lonely out here in cyberspace. Sadly, Google has censored 85% of my webpages at Jesus-is-Savior.com, soulwinning.info, Jesusisprecious.org and other ministry websites. I am not sure why Google is censoring THE TRUTH, but God ultimately controls what happens to my labors. 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:” I preach THE TRUTH for Jesus!
Every child of God has a responsibility to STRUGLE for the faith. I don't see that happening in most of our Bibles colleges and churches today, I see a bunch of religious people who are desperate to pay their bills and need continued employment, so they dip their sails in sinful compromise, go along to get along with their shallow peers in the clergy, sell out and let the world go to Hell. Part of being a faithful Christian is contending for the faith. We are all engaged in a spiritual war (Ephesians 6:12). Every VOICE matters! I am a VOICE!!! I am struggling for the faith, how about you? I seem to be one of very few Christians today who is upset over the Devil's Bibles, the Devil's lie of Calvinism, the Devil's lie of turning from sins to prove your saved, et cetera. It's rare nowadays to find a Christian who gets upset over legalized abortion. Why aren't more believers outraged? Where are the 7,000 saints who have not bowed their knee to Baal? Who cares? I do! God does! A few believers care still today! I thank God for both of you!!! Thank you for reading my blog.
Psalms 119:104, “Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.”
I have been openly criticized by some foolish pastors, who have accused me of being “OBSESSED WITH THE BIBLE ISSUE DEBATE.” My friend, something is VERY WRONG with any preacher who is not obsessed about Satan's crowd tampering with the incorruptible Word of God. 1st Peter 1:23, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” I can understand a church laymen not getting upset, because he is unlearned in many cases and doesn't grasp the seriousness of the matter.
Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) was a true man of God, who discerned what the Devil is doing by incrementally tampering with God's Word, gradually changing the truth into a lie...
“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!”)
Please consider ladies and gentleman, that the first appearance of Satan in the Holy Bible was in the form of a serpent, sly and cunning, who cast doubt upon God's words. Genesis 3:1, “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Please notice carefully that Satan placed a question mark where God had placed a period! Genesis 2:16-17, “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” The downfall of Eve began when Satan influenced her to question the authority of God's Word.
My friend, this is EXACTLY what Satan is doing today, thousands of years later. Whereas the faithful King James Bible still says, “THUS SAITH THE LORD!”; the modern perverse Alexandrian-based Bible versions say, “HATH GOD SAID?” It is wicked!!!
“They tell me that I rub the fur the wrong way. I don't, let the cat turn around.” ―Billy Sunday
You better believe that I am “obsessed” with the Bible issue debate. It's too sad that Bob Jones University is sitting idle, neutral in the work of God, letting people like me do all the work! SHAME ON BOB JONES UNIVERSITY AND THEIR LUKEWARM GRADUATES!!! I promise you that they will hang their heads in shame at the Judgment Seat of Christ; and I guarantee you that the only reward most BJU graduates (those who are idle in the battle for the inspiration of God's Word) will ever receive is their earthly paycheck. The ministry is merely a means (a job) to support themselves. This is why Jesus sternly warned His disciples in Luke 16:13, “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” To the same degree that a preacher depends upon his salary instead of God, he will compromise his stand for the truth.
“One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.” ―Billy Sunday
I cannot warn everyone enough about the dangers of the modern Bible perversions. The big satanic lie is that people need a Bible that is easier to understand. Why are all the modern perversions based upon the 1881 corrupt Greek work of Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort? (THIS IS THE SAME GREEK TEXT THAT THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES CULT USE IN THEIR DEMONIC 'NEW WORLD TRANSLATION'!) Of course JW's love the Greek text produced by Westcott and Hort, because it attacks Jesus' deity, and JW's don't believe that Jesus Christ is almighty God!!! That speaks volumes as to the Luciferian agenda behind the Bible revision craze. Wake up Christian people! Is your pastor an idiot? If he uses, sells or supports the modern Bible versions, yes, he is definitely a big idiot. And worse, he is God's enemy! Jeremiah 12:10, “Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.”
Brooke Westcott openly denied the infallibility of the Scriptures (sounds like Biblica, the producers of the New International Version, aka, NIV):
May 5th, 1860 - Westcott to Hort: “at present I find the presumption in favour of the absolute truth - I reject the word infallibility - of Holy Scripture overwhelming.” (Life, Volume I, page 207). SOURCE: Westcott and Hort: From Their Own Mouths
That speaks volumes as to the “HATH GOD SAID?” satanic spirit behind the Bible revision craze. Just as the serpent beguiled Eve by leading her to question God's final authority, so also do modern ungodly scholars (many of whom have only honorary degrees that are worthless) sinfully question the infallibility of the Scriptures. God said what He meant, and meant what He said!
The following is a classic example of how ALL the modern Bible versions GO AGAINST the inspired King James Bible. Take a look at how the new perversions all change God's promise in Psalms 12:6-7 to preserve His very pure words unto every generation. Here's a comparison of Psalms 12:6-7—God's promise to preserve His pure Words unto every generation—Look how all of these new satanic Bible versions totally butcher, change and remove God's PROMISE to preserve His Words. Instead of preserving God's very pure words, all the new versions change it to say that God preserves the saints instead...
King James Bible (KJB)
Psalms12:6-7, "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
The Common English Bible (CEB)
Psalms 12:6-7, "The LORD's promises are pure, like silver that's been refined in an oven, purified seven times over! You, LORD, will keep us, protecting us from this generation forever."
The Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
Psalms 12:6-7, "The words of ADONAI are pure words, silver in a melting-pot set in the earth, refined and purified seven times over. You, ADONAI, protect us; guard us forever from this generation."
The Message Bible (MSG)
Psalm 12:6-7, "God's words are pure words, Pure silver words refined seven times In the fires of his word-kiln, Pure on earth as well as in heaven. God, keep us safe from their lies, From the wicked who stalk us with lies."
Good News Translation (GNT)
Psalm 12:6-7, "The wicked are everywhere, and everyone praises what is evil. Keep us always safe, O Lord, and preserve us from such people."
...AND ON THEY GO, THE NEW VERSIONS JUST KEEP COMING TO CORRUPT THE CHURCHES!!!
My, Oh my, what a wicked thing! What a bunch of lying deceivers!!! They've changed the Words of God to justify butchering and selling the Bible. If God only wrote one book, then there would be no justification to publish hundreds of new versions. As the old adage goes... Follow the money! What does your Bible read in Psalms 12:6-7??? Does it maintain God's PROMISE to preserve His pure words unto every generation, or does it say that he will protect the believer from the wicked? Clearly, God doesn't always protect believers from the wicked, which is why they were fed to the lions in Rome!!! Still today, Christians are being murdered in the Middle East, North Korea, and other dictatorships and Communist nations without God.
I am gladly “obsessed” with the Bible issue debate, and brother I plan to stay obsessed too!
“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!”)
I have also been accused by shallow pastors and religious people, of “going way overboard” on my websites about Lordship Salvation. I tell you, I haven't even got started yet by God's grace! The heresy of Lordship Salvation is straight from the depths of Satan. What is “Lordship Salvation.” It is the false teaching that admitting you are a sinner, and by faith receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins, and trusting upon the risen Savior from the dead, is NOT ENOUGH to save you.
According to Lordship Salvation advocates, a person MUST also receive Christ as the “Lord” of their life, making a full surrender to Jesus' Lordship to follow and serve Him, and to turn away from a lifestyle of sinful behavior as “proof” of this commitment. The latter is very close to what the cults all teach. Search my ministry websites and you will find numerous articles on this subject. Seventh-day Adventists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and even Roman Catholics ALL teach that repentance means turning away from your sinful bad habits to be saved. NONE of these things comprise “the Gospel” as taught in the Scriptures in 1st Corinthians 15:1-6).
“The backslider likes the preaching that wouldn't hit the side of a house, while the real disciple is delighted when the truth brings him to his knees.” ―Billy Sunday
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.
John 15:22, “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.”
God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved, He will only save those who are trusting to be saved.
“A man doesn't get better to get saved; he gets saved to get better.” —Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995), a quote from the excellent sermon, “Salvation Crystal Clear.”
Religion is man trying to reach God through human effort, but Christianity is God trying to reach man by the sacrifice of His only begotten Son on the cross.
In Brother Tom Stegall's book, “Must Faith Endure,” he correctly states:
However, many today misunderstand this marvelous truth and say in effect, “Yes, Christ can save you, but your faith must keep holding on to Christ in order for you to reach heaven.” According to this approach, Christ really doesn't save a person; they save themselves. With this approach, a person is not really saved by faith in Christ, but ultimately by faith in their faith, as they think it is their “faithfulness” to Christ which will ultimately bring them eternal life. The great Bible teacher of the past, Harry Ironside, addressed this very problem as he answered the objection: “But must I not hold on to the end if I would be saved at last?”
So I will gladly concede that I am “obsessed” over wicked people tampering with the Holy Bible; and I have “gone way overboard” (on purpose) to expose the satanic lies of Lordship Salvation. These two evils—corrupt Bible versions and the false gospel of Lordship Salvation—are damning hundreds of millions of souls to the Lake of Fire!!!!!
“Repentance don't save you! Calling on the Lord don't save you! You know what saves you? Receiving what Christ done for you on the cross!” —Pastor Danny Castle, a quote from the needful MP3 sermon, “WHY THERE'S A HELL.”
2nd Timothy 2:1-4, “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
There is a woeful evil upon this nation which I see today, which is that professed Christian believers no longer stand against anything evil. Everywhere I turn in Christendom, all I see is greed for money. Today's Bible colleges are no longer interested in training and sending out solders for Jesus Christ; but rather, young career-minded people, trained to make money and work in various professional fields. Sadly, no one wants to offend anyone anymore. The truth has always offended people! The truth is only hate to those who hate the truth!!!
Well over 95% of pastors today are mere paid employees, a puppet on a string to the church that hired them, in many cases even told what they can or cannot preach from the pulpit. It will be a cold day in Hell before anyone ever tells me what I can or cannot preach!!! I am going to preach what God lays upon my heart. As Brother Roloff used to wisely say: “My preaching is none of my business! God tells me what to preach!!!” Yes Sir, that is very true. We've got a bunch of sissified pastors today who aren't preachers anymore. They are afraid to offend their congregation. They are afraid to offend peers in the clergy. They go along to get along, making excuses for their lack of effort to fight in the battle of the ages over the inspiration and purity of God's Word.
I was absolutely disgusted when I had numerous conversation with Pastor Sean Quinlan at the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam in 2018. I cam to learn that Quinlan sinfully bids Godspeed to the evildoers at Bob Jones University and Harvest Baptist Church on Guam (apostate institutions which preach another gospel of “Lordship” salvation, damnable misunderstood repentance, and they all promote the Devil's corruptible seed of the modern Bible perversions). Instead of faithfully exposing these sore evils as I am doing, Sean Quinlan bids Godspeed to them in his wickedness!!!
Let's dig deeper into the investigation. Sean Quinlan is a product of the shameful Pensacola Christian College camp today, who refuse to lift a finger to fight against the evils I just mentioned. PCC is A.W.O.L. from their Christian duties to contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3). To “contend” means to engage in battle!!! To “contend” means that we cannot have peace or harmony with each other. We cannot go along to get along, because something is wrong!!! To “contend” means there is a dispute, an argument, something not right between us. PCC allows their students to partake in intercollege sports with BJU, teaching their students that it is more important to get along than it is to contend for the faith. No Sir, it will be a cold day in Hell before I would allow my students to hobnob with a professed Christian institution like Bob Jones University (BJU), while their unsaved president and college is preaching a false Calvinist gospel of Lordship Salvation!!!!!!! It is apostasy and wickedness! SHAME ON PASTOR SEAN QUINLAN! SHAME ON PASTOR JEFF REDLIN AT CAMPUS CHURCH IN PENSACOLA! SHAME ON PCC FOR BREAKING BREAD TOGETHER, FOR UNEQUALLY YOKING TOGETHER WITH THE UNSAVED INFIDELS AT BJU!!!
I turn on the TV and see all these big name worthless preachers like Joel Osteen, Mike Murdoch, Pat Robertson, Rick Warren, Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Robert Jeffress, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, even Eric Hovind (a disgusting fake if ever there was one, who stole his father's ministry). Many of them are in bed with Hillsong, like Pastor Robert Jeffress. I actually heard Pastor Jeffress shamefully endorsing the demonic ministry of false prophetess' Joyce Meyer, who has no business preaching at all, because she is a woman. All women preachers are false teachers!!! 1st Corinthians 14:34, “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.”
I saw Eric Hovind begging like a dog on Facebook for $600,000 for his Young Earth Creation pseudo-ministry. The YEC movement is a blatant unbiblical fraud. The entire Hovind family is a disgraceful money-hungry parasite which shames the cause of Jesus Christ!!! The love of money is the root of all evil the Bible says in 1st Timothy 6:10. Kent Hovind has proven again and again that making money is his passion. The guy has sucked in millions from foolish people, just another partner in spiritual crime with Ken Ham, Henry Morris III and others in the YEC racket to bilk the churches!
When I attended the lame Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC) during the summer of 2021, I was disgusted as I sat each Wednesday night watching video episodes of Ken Ham present his falsehood on Young Earth Creationism (YEC). Ken Ham is a dangerous man. As far as I can tell, Ken Ham has no formal education, yet he is upheld worldwide as a so-called “expert” on creation. The man is a money-grubbing con artist! I cannot believe how ignorant, gullible and easily swayed Americans have become nowadays.
Dear reader, apostasy is EVERYWHERE today! Professed Christians are so backslidden from God that they don't care about right doctrine anymore. The truth is important. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS! I named this blog “Right Doctrine Matters,” because it absolutely does. Your salvation depends on being right in your doctrine! Your happiness as a child of God depends on having the right doctrine. I have received countless emails over the decades from hurting, frantic and desperate people who are scared to death that they aren't saved, because they listened to the damnable heresies of false teachers like Paul Washer, John MacArthur, Adrian Rodgers, John Piper, Marty Herron, Steve Pettit, Ray Comfort and Joel Osteen (who all told them that if they still live a lifestyle of sin, they are not going to Heaven). That is 100% a works-based false plan of salvation folks!!!
The true Bible plan of salvation is that you are a dirty guilty sinner. Therefore, you deserve to burn in the fires of Hell forever as punishment for your crimes. Yes, you are I deserve capital punishment, life in Hell without parole!!! That is exactly what the wages of sin bring (Romans 6:23; Revelation 14:11, 20:11-15, 21:8). Thankfully, God in His love made a way of escape. Through the blood of Jesus, which He shed on the cross for our sins, we can be made whole again in God's sight (justified) by faith alone. Anyone who comes to God as a guilty sinner, receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for their sins, believing that He resurrected from the dead three days later, is instantly, irrevocably and forever saved.
That is the Gospel (the Good News according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4)—Jesus died, was buried and raised up from the dead three days later. BELIEVE IT oh sinner and you are eternal redeemed!!! BELIEVE IT and you will be born-again once and forever! ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED!!! The new birth is a one-time event, not a process. That is how we know that Calvinism is a lie. In Calvinism (which Moody Bible Institute and Bob Jones University have sadly succumbed to in recent decades), it is taught that you are not saved unless you persevere to live the Christian life faithfully until the very end.
This generates a fearful mindset in the person, falsely leading them to believe that they must maintain a life of holiness and service to Christ in order to KNOW for certain that they are going to Heaven. In such a theological system of bondage, there is no way to ever 100% have the blessed confidence that you are going to Heaven. This goes so contrary to the words spoken by our dear Lord in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” The salvation which Christ freely offers gives perfect peace to the recipient's soul. Jesus is speaking about salvation in this precious Scripture passage!!!
I have received numerous emails from thankful web visitors, who confided to me that they had contemplated suicide at one time because of false teachers like Ray Comfort, Steve Pettit and Paul Washer who misled them. They thank me for teaching them THE TRUTH about the simplicity that is in Christ. It is a very heavy burden to carry when you are continually scared that you're not really saved because of the willful sins in your life. Dear reader, there is only one kind of sin that we all commit, which is willful sin! Nobody accidentally sins! If it was an accident, then it wasn't a sin. The whole idea in Calvinism that if you are really saved you will turn away from a sinful lifestyle is absurd. We ALL live a lifestyle of sin.
The only difference is that the sins of the saints may have changed from fornication to lust, from drunkenness to abusing your prescription drugs, from murder to hatred, from stealing outright to withholding information that equates to theft when all is said and done. Christians are people at best, and people at best are still woeful sinners! You are a dirty sinner dear reader, and so am I. The only difference is whether Jesus is your Savior or not! The only difference is whether you are a redeemed dirty sinner, or a hellbound dirty sinner!
There are a lot of preachers going to prison these days! That is because behind every pulpit is a dirty sinner! So the whole concept of turning away from sins in Calvinism is flawed. You simply cannot turn away from your sins dear friend. That is why Jesus came into the world to save us from our sins. Christ did not come into the world expecting you to forsake a lifestyle of sin before he would save you; but rather, He came to save THE UNGODLY (just as you are in your wicked state) through faith in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. That is why we read in Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” How do you seek God's righteousness? Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” You get God's righteous by placing your faith in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son.
Whatever changes that God wants to see made in a believer's life is an entirely separate matter of sanctification. For the Gospel to remain pure and free, no connection must ever be made between sanctification and justification. One has nothing to do with the other, except that no one can ever be sanctified who hasn't first been justified of their sins by faith in Jesus Christ. Oh, how I wish preachers who stop perverting God's grace! The whole concept of “God's grace“” is that God did something for us that we do not deserve. And yet these wicked preachers today, like Pastor Chuck Phelps (of the apostate Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana) pervert God's grace, by requiring professed believers to live a faithful Christian life or else Phelps heretically says they were never really saved. That is a heavy burden placed on sinner's shoulders, and not the light and easy yoke which Christ promised to those who trust in Him.
Calvinism is a dangerous system of Satanic thinking that will send you to Hell. Calvinism is doctrinal poison!!! Tragically, many of the Devil's new Bible revisions teach Calvinism. For example: Look at how the Easy-To-Read Version (ERV) corrupts the Word of God into a lie in Mark 1:15...
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” [emphasis added]
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) — Mark 1:15, “He said, “The right time is now here. God’s kingdom is very near. Change your hearts and lives, and believe the Good News!” [emphasis added]
Do you see how the ERV wrongly renders the meaning of the Bible word “repent” (the Greek verb metanoeo, meaning: “to think differently”), to instead mean that you must CHANGE YOUR HEART AND LIFE to be saved? Nowhere does the inspired Word of God teach that to get to Heaven a person must change their life!!! This is why I repeatedly encourage everyone to use only the tried, true and timeless inspired KING JAMES BIBLE, please. ALL of the modern Bible revisions have been corrupted by Satan in an attempt to obscure and obliterate the preserved, inerrant, inspired, infallible and incorruptible Word of God.
I have said all this as introduction to show you that we desperately need a generation of fighting solders for Christ! A soldier trains for combat and endurance to withstand the battle. Today's rotten so-called “Bible colleges” aren't training young people for battle, they are preparing them to pursue money-making secular careers. I was disguised when I looked at the courses that BJU and PCC offer to their students (nursing, businessman, accountant, law enforcement, engineering, et cetera). It is sickening! Sadly, the Bible is always proven true, again and again, that the LOVE OF MONEY if the root of all evil. I came to the quick conclusion that shallow Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC) is nothing more than a college church, a place for students to meet three times a week to fulfill a religious obligation to attend church.
Senior pastor Jeff Redlin is a total wimp! I wasn't impressed with him at all after two weeks of seeing what a shallow person he is. I will happy when the time comes when Jeff Redlin is GONE as pastor!!! Then I might return to Campus Church and see if things have improved. For now I'll just visit from time to time, because God knows that I truly do love the folks at PCC. I just can't stand phonies like Jeff Redlin!!! I know a shallow man when I meet one, and Jeff Redlin as as shallow as they come. But for now, the place is spiritual dead. Jeff Redlin doesn't truly care about hurting people like me, he only selectively cares about people that he feels comfortable with, not a hurting preacher like me who has hit hard times most of my life. Redlin is living large, getting paid a 6-digit ridiculous salary, living large, high on the hog, parasiting off of Christendom, so what does he care? Clearly, he doesn't give a damn! Well I do give a damn, and I care. I have never been paid a single penny for serving God. You dear reader, are my reward!
The issue is not about Sean Quinlan or Jeff Redlin (puppets at PCC). The issue is about being a faithful soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have fought a good fight. I have run the race. I have endured and stood for THE TRUTH. You'd think that the one group in the world who would commend, encourage and support my labors for Christ would be fellow preachers. But nope, they are my worst critics and enemies. Go figure! Jeff Redlin took the liberty to to criticize my ministry, but had nothing good to say. He made an enemy in so doing. Jeff Redlin is the enemy of God, truth and is an obstacle to the ongoing spiritual battle. Instead of being a soldier for Jesus Christ as I am, Jeff Redlin criticizes and makes it harder for good solders like me to fight. Instead of encouraging me, he discourages me. What a sad little man!
In July of 2021 Pastor Jeff Redlin wrongly accused me of finding the “weaknesses” of other preachers. That was his shallow opinion of my website ministry. No, the truth is that I am faithfully exposing damnable heresies preached by infidels like Pastors' Marty Herron, Steve Pettit, Sam Horn, Chuck Phelps, John MacArthur and other reprobates of the Christian faith. And Pastor Redlin is a wicked man who bids them Godspeed, which makes him partaker of their evil deeds (2nd John 1:11). Jeff Redlin and PCC are sinfully in bed with the Bob Jones camp, committing spiritual whoredom with them!!!
Dear reader, we are engaged in a spiritual war. This relentless war between good and evil has existed since the beginning of human civilization (Ephesians 6:12). Truth and lies have always co-existed. It is our duty as God's children to search for THE TRUTH, and to defend, uphold and preach THE TRUTH! Jesus came to bear witness to THE TRUTH (John 18:37).
The reason why I mention the names of these preachers is not to be mean or unkind, but because THERE IS A CAUSE. We have a very big problem folks. I mean, when a faithful preacher like me is unjustly called “obsessed over the Bible issue” by Pastor Sean Quinlan because I am zealous over exposing the Devil's corrupt Bible revisions, it is Sean Quinlan who ought to be greatly ashamed of himself, and who is not right with God, and who needs to repent of his wicked ways. I am sick and tired of being rebuked for doing what is true and righteous by wicked complacent pastors who don't care and think they are in the right for not standing. It is Pastor Sean Quinlan and Jeff Redlin who are backslidden and not right with God, for refusing to fight as GOOD SOLDIERS of Jesus Christ. I didn't use the word “good,” God did. ...
2nd Timothy 2:1-4, “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
Dear reader, God is looking for a few weak men to become solders for Him. 2nd Corinthians 12:9-10, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” I see all these big shot arrogant pastors today, like Sean Quinlan and Jeff Redlin, bidding Godspeed to wicked infidels (who aren't even born-again believers) like Marty Herron, Steve Pettit, Chuck Phelps, John MacArthur (all stinking heretical Calvinists). What does that say to us? I says that the Devil is a very subtle liar. It says that the Devil has crept unawares into the churches. The number one threat to churches today are America's corrupt Bible colleges! Let me say that again in bold lettering, because it is so important dear friend. THE NUMBER ONE THREAT TO CHURCHES TODAY ARE AMERICA'S CORRUPT BIBLE COLLEGES!!!
BJU trains THOUSANDS of young people each year, preparing them to go out to work in both the secular and religious field. Since BJU is a hotbed of heresy and a cesspool of iniquity today, that makes BJU a dangerous threat to the world. Calvinism is NOT the Gospel. John Calvin (1509-1564) was a religious madman, a psychopath who literally murdered 58 people (including women and children) for merely disagreeing with this perverse theology. Another 76 people were exiled for disagreeing with his heresies. But moreover, the teachings of John Calvin do NOT agree with the inspired Word of God. As a child of God for the past 41 years, since age 13, I clearly see God's simple plan of salvation.
It makes sense that an unsaved Calvinist would see something different in the Bible, because the natural man cannot understand spiritual things (1st Corinthians 2:14). The Holy Spirit of God shows a lost man THE TRUTH, but if he rejects that truth, relying upon his own worldly thinking, then that man has become subverted of himself. The Holy Bible is abundantly clear that salvation comes only to the person who wholly and exclusively BELIEVES in Jesus Christ. ...
My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.
Those wicked preachers who teach Calvinism are accursed by God according to Galatians 1:6-9, because they are guilty of preaching another gospel. God doesn't choose who gets saved. We have the freewill to choose. God promises to “save them that believe” (1st Corinthians 1:21b).
We need a whole new generation of preachers who fight, withstand and stand and are not swayed and choked by the love of money. When money becomes an issue, pastors become scared to offend anyone, lest it jeopardize their job security. That is why I believe John the Baptist lived off the land. Since 2002 when I began my website ministry, thankfully I have never depended on my ministry for sustenance. In fact, I have never made a single penny for serving God. Therefore, I can preach whatever I want and not worry about making enemies.
That is what we need, a generation of Bible preachers who don't depend upon the ministry for money. As long as money is involved, Bible colleges and churches will remain corrupt!!! That is why the Pensacola Christian College (PCC) camp won't speak against the corrupt Bob Jones University camp. Since BJU is corrupting the world with Calvinism, it is very much everyone's business who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. Only a wicked money-hungry coward would hide behind ethics, while allowing BJU to lead the lost world into the Lake of Fire. It is not enough as a Christian to do right, we have a duty to expose evil. Ephesians 5:11, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
