Romans 6:1-2, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?”
I went to the Pensacola Interstate Fair this past week on October 27 and 28. While walking through one of the exhibit buildings I saw some religious booths set up. One was for the Satanic Jehovah's Witnesses (JW's). I asked one of the elderly ladies at the JW booth if I could take their picture. She replied by snapping in anger at me, saying: “ ”NO!“ ” Sadly, as I have learned in my lifetime, JW's are some of the most angry and hateful people that you will ever met. They do not have God's love shed abroad in their hearts, because they do not have the indwelling Holy Spirit, because they are not born-again children of God. JW's have been woefully deceived by the Devil, to live the Christian life without ever being born-again. JW's have been deceived by another gospel which cannot produce the new birth (Galatians 1:6-9; 3:1-3; 5:4; 6:7).
When I came back around after visiting some other tables, one of the other JW women told me that I could only take a photo of their literature display, but not them, so here it is...
And then about 30 feet to the right I found a booth for Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC). Sadly, PCC is a different kind of cult of “Us Four And No-More.” The JW's are a theological cult, as is also Bob Jones University (BJU), who preach the Devil's false gospel of Lordship Salvation (i.e., combining service with salvation).
On the other hand, PCC is a religious cult, where only certain people are permitted to attend. PCC are very much wicked respecters of persons (James 2:1), which is why I have been banned in writing since August 2, 2022 from attending Campus Church by the shameful hateful yuppie pastors of Campus Church. I mailed a letter to PCC leadership to ask for their intervention in the matter, but they chose to side with their ungodly hateful pastors. Only a cult behaves like that, ostracizing people that they hold a grudge against. I said it before and I am saying it again to everyone as a witness before God, I am willing at any time to still make peace with the PCC camp, and I will do whatever they require to reconcile. They cannot blame me in any way for their hatred, childish petty prejudices and misguided egos. SHAME on PCC!
Here are some photos of PCC's booth at the Pensacola Interstate Fair. I had a great time by the way, minus visiting the jerks at PCC's religious weirdo booth, who got upset at me for trying to tell them that Lordship Salvation is of the Devil (but I am getting ahead of myself). I went to the circus on Thursday and Friday evening at 5 pm. I watched the entire show both days. I love going to the circus!!! I saw a free concert, The Beach Buoys (a copy cat Beach Boys band Thursday night). They were awesome! I love live music! The weather was nice both evenings, comfortable temperatures with no rain. And boy did I eat! I had fresh dipped corndogs both days, an authentic Greek gyros (awesome), a homemade Italian sausage pizza calzone, Dippin' Dots ice-cream both days, snow-cones, fresh real lemonade, and more! I just wish YOU dear friend could have been there with me. I went alone both days. Anyway, without further ado, here are some photos of PCC's salvation booth...
Pensacola Christian College Religious Booth at Pensacola Interstate Fair
On guy, Josh, replied to my question by saying: “If Jesus is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all.” That statement is a bold lie! Nowhere in the Bible are we taught such nonsense, that you're either all the way in or all the way out serving Christ. There are many believers who are lukewarm, half-heartedly serving Jesus. Of course, the Lord is not fully pleased with them, but that doesn't mean Jesus is not the “Lord” of their life. The truth is that Jesus is NOT the absolute Lord of any Christian's life, because we are all sinners by nature and by choice.
I don't care how good of a Christian you may THINK you are, you are not a shining example of what the rest of us should be. The Apostle Paul was very honest and transparent in Romans 7:14-25, admitting that he struggled continually with the old sinful flesh. Paul said that when he would do good, evil was still present with him all the time. Paul in Romans 7:24 concludes the matter by saying, “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?”
If that wasn't bad enough that Josh from PCC was defending the heresy of Lordship Salvation, then the other guy told me that “repent” in the Bible concerning salvation means: “CHANGE.” I told him that he is wrong. Repentance is a change of mind. He said that repentance is a change of mind which results in a change of behavior. I kindly explained that he is wrong, Bible repentance is a change of mind from unbelief to belief. I didn't get the second guy's name, but he as belligerent, not a gentleman and extremely arrogant, which is typical of the the camp at Pensacola Christian College (PCC).
So the ignorant young fella from PCC arrogantly asked me where the Bible says that repentance means a change of mind from “unbelief to belief.” I told him that in the Gospel of John we find the word “believe” mentioned 88 times, without finding the word “repent” mentioned even once. That is because the man who BELIEVES has automatically repented. There is so much understanding about repentance today. My favorite quote on repentance is by Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951):
“Which comes first, repentance or faith? In Scripture we read, 'Repent ye, and believe the gospel.' Yet we find true believers exhorted to 'repent, and do the first works.' So intimately are the two related that you cannot have one without the other. The man who believes God repents; the repentant soul puts his trust in the Lord when the Gospel is revealed to him. Theologians may wrangle over this, but the fact is, no man repents until the Holy Spirit produces repentance in his soul through the truth. No man believes the Gospel and rests in it for his own salvation until he has judged himself as a needy sinner before God. And this is repentance.” [emphasis added] (Except Ye Repent, p. 16)The only thing that we need to repent from to be saved is UNBELIEF. Do we have to realize our sinful condition to be saved? Of course, yes! But there is not one verse in the entire Bible which requires a person to forsake sin to be saved. Nor does the Bible give anyone God's permission to commit sin just because they are saved (Romans 3:31). Every time Jesus forgave someone and healed them, it was only AFTERWARDS that He said: “Go and sin no more.” John 5:14, "Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." Repentance simply means “a change of mind.” Believers change our minds every day about all kinds of things, including the sins in our life. Repenting of sins throughout one's Christian life is solely a matter of DISCIPLESHIP, not SALVATION. It is a matter of growing in the Lord's grace (1st Peter 2:2), as we yield to the Holy Spirit's leading in obedience to the Holy Scriptures (2nd Corinthians 10:5).
Thus, we don't give up our sins to become a Christian (Romans 3:20); rather, we forsake our sins because we are a Christian (Romans 12:1-2). There are no prerequisites or conditions for salvation (Galatians 3:2). God will save any guilty sinner who trusts upon the Gospel of Jesus Christ for salvation (Romans 10:13). John 6:37, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
Tragically, the PCC camp falsely teach their cult followers that repentance for salvation will result in your behavi0or changing. That is a variation of Lordship Salvation!!! One of my favorite free grace Gospel preachers, Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, provides this helpful quote:
“Lordship Salvation is the unsupportable and unbiblical belief that the performance of good works, the promise of good works, or the evidence of good works, must accompany faith in Christ to establish or provide evidence that such faith has resulted in eternal life.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, "Jesus versus John MacArthur"
It is a dangerous false doctrine at PCC! Behavior modification has absolutely NOTHING to do with proving that someone is born-again. I heard one foolish preacher say that where there is fire there is smoke, and he used that as a poor illustration to prove that your behavior must change if you're really saved. According to his flawed reasoning, if you have the indwelling Holy Spirit of God, then outward evidence will absolutely become visible. But I could just as easily use the illustration of electricity present in a wall socket.
There is no visible evidences of electricity being present. You cannot know by looking for outward signs if power is present or not. Go ahead and stick your finger in the socket and see what happens! You CAN in fact have God's Holy Spirit living inside of your spirit, soul and body and not have any outward evidences of it! The Bible is full of sinful saints who lived such wicked lives that no one suspected them of being a child of God (e.g., Lot, Esau, Samson, Amaziah, Saul, Demas, et cetera).
PCC reminds me of the Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA's), who will tell you upfront that they believe salvation is by grace along, through faith alone, in Christ alone; but upon closer inspection you will be frustrated to learn that they actually believe that if your behavior hasn't changed, then your faith isn't real and you are not saved. That is exactly what the PCC camp is preaching, horribly misleading people. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!!
As I walked around the fair, I also found these dear folks, who were preaching a free grace Gospel, not Lordship Salvation like PCC.
Dear reader, it matters what we teach people. The two young foolish guys at the PCC Campus Church booth at the fair, were as ignorant as a box of rocks theologically about salvation. That is the fault of the shameful incompetent pastors of Campus Church at PCC. They don't feed their people! Pastor Jeff Redlin doesn't teach the PCC congregation and students about the dangers of Lordship Salvation. If he did these two guys wouldn't be defending the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation. Those stooges from PCC literally scolded me, calling me ignorant, telling me that I didn't believe the Bible. Unbelievable!!! You couldn't make this stuff up! SHAME on the pastors of Campus Church for not contending for the faith.
In 2018, I had the unfortunate experience of attending the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam for a year. Their incompetent pastor at the time (a PCC intern pastor name Sean Quinlan) actually rebuked me in front of some of his church members for always talking about what's wrong with the Devil's Bible revisions. I rebuked him back sternly. Pastor Quinlan horribly called me “obsessed” over the Bible issue. Buster, you had better believe that I am OBSESSED over the Bible issue, and I plan to become even more OBSESSED!!! Shame on any preacher who isn't upset, concerned and obsessed over exposing the Devil's counterfeit Bibles which are damning men's souls to the Lake of Fire forever.
While hypocritical pastors and churches all across America stand up each Sunday in church and sing: "Jesus Is All I Need," they also have a need for dozens of different Bible versions. Is there not only ONE Savior? Yes, there is only one, and His name is Jesus. John 1:1-3, 14 and Revelation 19:13 teach us that Jesus is "THE WORD OF GOD." So how can we have just ONE dear Savior, but HUNDREDS of different Bible versions??? Think about that.
Just a few weeks earlier before Sean Quinlan scolded me for warning people too much about the Devil's Bibles, it was just me and him sitting in front of the church. Pastor Quinlan admitted to me: “You know, I don't know even one thing wrong about the new Bible versions.” I don't know why he felt compelled to tell me that sad fact, but it shows how hypocritical he is. Just weeks before criticizing me for exposing the Devil's dangerous fake Bible revisions, Quinlan admitted that he doesn't know up from down, north from west or good from bad regarding the Devil's modern corrupt Bible PERversions!!! Kindly said, I am tired of arrogant dummy pastors scolding me as an evildoer, when they don't even know the fist thing about what they are talking about. I am exposing evil as the Lord commands (Psalms 97:10; Titus 1:9-14; Ephesians 5:11). RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!!
And sadly, as I type I have been permanently banned by the rotten pastors of PCC's Campus Church, in writing sent to me on August 2nd, 2022. Isn't that as wicked as Hell? I have suffered so much in my personal life. My beloved wife divorced me in 2006. We lost our home as a consequence. Greedy lawyers will take away everything you have ever worked for, and not feel one iota of remorse or guilty over it. I got hit by a church bus (I'm glad that it wasn't a beer truck in 1992, and then fell at work in 2004) messing up my neck permanently. I suffer from stenosis and radiculitis (spinal cord damage, causing chronic pain, burning nerves, tension in my neck and radiating nerve pain in my arms and legs).
PCC should change its name to "Pensacola Comfortable College" and Campus Church to "Comfortable Church." They don’t encourage anyone of anything that encourages them to increase and be like Christ. However they encourage people to be like the lazy world. Seeking money and comfort over holiness and compassion for the lost. That place makes me sick. Please listen to Pastor Steven Anderson preach a sermon exposing PCC titled: "Setting The Bar Too Low."
