1st
Corinthians 3:14-15, “If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon,
he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall
suffer loss: but he himself
shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”
Our text Bible passage is PROOF that a person who is saved, won't always
live a sanctified life. In fact, this man in 1st Corinthians 3:15 lived such
a life filled with sin, that the Bible says he only made it to Heaven,
receiving no rewards, “SAVED; YET SO AS BY FIRE”! That exposes the
teachings of John Calvin (1509-1564), commonly knows as “Calvinism,”
as false and of the Devil.
By the way, today's my birthday, March 5th, and I am 53
years young...lol.
Calvinism is a false religion—a heretical system of
religious dogmas that violate the plainest teachings of the inspired Word of
God. Calvinism is as an infectious disease in our churches today. Dear
reader, I'm not the least worried about the new Coronavirus, which killed
the first person on January 9, 2020 in China. I'm far more worried about the
Calvinism virus, which has infected upwards of 75% of Baptist churches
today, sending millions of people to the Lake of Fire!
I am greatly concerned at the sore evil I see upon
America's churches today, particularly independent fundamental Baptists! I
listened to a sermon this past week by
Pastor Andy Bloom, in which he teaches Calvinism (aka, Lordship
Salvation). Moody Bible Institute today is saturated with the Devil's lies
of Calvinism, admitting on their apostate college website to being
“generally Calvinistic” in their doctrines. Moody Radio has 71 owned and
operated radio stations, and hundreds of affiliates worldwide.[1]
Folks, I am alarmed! Moody Publishers sinfully promotes
heretic Pastor John MacArthur![2]
Mr. MacArthur
teaches that children cannot be saved! In the complicated theological
world of John MacArthur, salvation is too difficult for a child to grasp,
because getting saved requires a full surrender of the body, mind and will
to Christ's Lordship. Friends, that is not “the simplicity that is in
Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:3), which is “THE
GOSPEL.” What saith the Scripture? The Apostle Paul said:
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?”
I cannot emphasize enough that you understand the
Epistle of Galatians. God gave us this book of the Bible to teach us that
salvation is solely “BY THE HEARING OF FAITH,” and it is not
perfected “by the works of the law,” that is, “by the flesh”!
We are saved when we HEAR THE GOSPEL (GOOD NEWS), and we have FAITH IN THAT
GOOD NEWS! Salvation is that simple! Even a little child can BELIEVE! It is
true that a Christian SHOULD live for Christ (Romans 3:31), but not
MUST (that would be works), and not WILL (that would be
Calvinism).
Evangelist Ray Comfort preaches “ANOTHER
GOSPEL” (2nd Corinthians 11:4) of fear and uncertainty, instilling in
his listeners a sense of constant worry that they are not saved. I've even
had web visitors confide in me that they contemplated suicide because of Mr.
Comfort's damnable heresies...
The proper
Gospel mindset is that
you can go out and sin all you want, and still be 100% securely saved, not
having to worry or doubt if you're really saved! What? You read correctly!
That doesn't mean God gives His children permission to live in sin, God
forbid! Romans 3:30-31, “Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the
circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish
the law.” When we came to Jesus Christ “THROUGH FAITH,”
we reached “THE END OF THE LAW” (Romans 10:3-4), but God still
expects us to obey the law AS HIS CHILDREN. If we don't God scourges and
chastises us (Hebrews 12:6-8). God is not an absent parent!
Perhaps you've heard the Bible mistaught regarding the
following Scripture. 2nd Corinthians 13:5,
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know
ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be
reprobates?” Paul said to “EXAMINE
YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH.” A common false teaching by
Calvinists (i.e., the Lordship Salvation crowd) is that Paul told them to
make sure they were really saved, due to all the sins mentioned in the
Epistle of 1st Corinthians. However, Paul does not tell them to forsake
their sins to prove they are saved. Instead, Paul says in
2nd Corinthians 13:5b, “Know ye not your own selves,
how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”
The test (or proof) of salvation is simply whether a person has Jesus
Christ in you (i.e., the indwelling Holy Spirit, which Romans 8:9 calls
“THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST”). That is why Paul asked the Galatian church in
Galatians 3:2, “This only would I learn of you,
Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing
of faith?” You get the Holy Spirit the instant you get saved (1st
Corinthians 3:16-17).
Has Your Church Been Infected?
Please
RUN AWAY from Moody Bible Institute!!! I am shocked and saddened how their
entire church has flip-flopped from being 100% FREE GRACE in the early 20th
century, to becoming hellbound CALVINISTS since Pastor Harry Ironside
(1876-1951) went to Heaven in 1951.
“Calvinism” is often summarized with the acronym
TULIP:
TOTAL DEPRAVITY - Man cannot be saved unless God
chooses him
UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION - God has already decided
who will be saved
LIMITED ATONEMENT - Jesus only died for believers,
not all humanity
IRRESISTIBLE GRACE - God forces those whom He has
chosen to get saved
PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS - A believer will
persevere in holiness or else they were never saved
If your church teaches any of this garbage, you are not
in a Bible-believing church, you are in a religious CULT!
Having said that, John MacArthur's 'Grace To You'
ministry and 'Grace Community Church' are a demonic cult! Mr. MacArthur is a
gifted speaker, and correct on most of what he teaches from the Bible. In
fact, I greatly enjoy listening to Pastor MacArthur at times, as he expounds
on the Scriptures; but unfortunately,
he goes horribly
astray when it comes to God's plan of salvation for mankind, adding
works to the grace of God, perverting THE GOSPEL.
Here is some damnable heresy that Pastor John
MacArthur teaches to millions of people. Any time someone comes along preaching that salvation
will “cost” you something, you know that minister was inspired by demons...
“Don’t believe anyone who says
it’s easy to become a Christian. Salvation for sinners cost God
His own Son; it cost God’s Son His life, and it’ll
cost you the
same thing...”
[emphasis added]
SOURCE:
Dr. John MacArthur,
Grace To You, an
updated quote from his book 'Hard To Believe', page 93
Folks, that is not “the simplicity that is
in Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:3b). There is no “cost” to a sinner
coming to Jesus Christ to receive God's gift of forgiveness of sins and
eternal life. Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.” Eternal life is a gift from God, which we RECEIVE by
faith in the the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no other way of
salvation (Acts 4:10-12).
Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) saw right thru Dr.
MacArthur (for the devil that he is) for teaching “ANOTHER GOSPEL”...
“Who is John MacArthur? He
is the one man in America doing more than anybody to destroy
soul-winning churches!” —Dr. Jack Hyles (a
needful quote from the MP3 sermon, "I
Sojourn In Mesech")
Case in point is the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam,
who have no scheduled soulwinning time. I never once heard the word
“soulwinning” mentioned (except by myself) for the entire year that I
attended Harvest in 2014. I've lived in Harvestville for the past 6 years
(most of my neighbours go to Harvest), and not one time have I ever seen
anybody knocking on doors except Jehovah's Witnesses! Despite my sincere
humble pleas to be a part of their church family since 2017, I have been
shunned, ostracized and mistreated since 2014. Harvest Baptist Church is a
sad joke for a church—a mere community social club, a place for old rich
snobs to retire and die, a place for religious entertainment, a place of
grudge holding and self-righteous hypocrisy, where John MacArthur is
promoted and dozens of Satan's counterfeit Bible revisions are used—WHAT A
DAMNED RELIGIOUS CULT!!!
Bible “repentance” (metanoia)
is changing one's mind from WRONG THINKING to believing THE GOSPEL. The Man
who believes on Christ has repented! If turning away from sinful ways is
what repentance means (which it doesn't), then salvation cannot be a
free gift anymore, because you have to DO SOMETHING to obtain it! And if you
have to turn away from sins to prove that you are saved, then this cannot be
a free gift either, because you have to DO SOMETHING to keep it.
As an illustration: If I (as a
guitar manufacturer) give you (as a professional musician) a free pedal
steel guitar, with the obligation that you must perform publicly playing
only that guitar for at least one year (to promote my business), then that
CANNOT be a free gift (although you may feel like it is). Likewise, if God
were to give us salvation as a gift, but then require us to live a certain
way (for ANY reason), then it simply couldn't be a gift. Salvation is NOT a
contract! In a contract there are obligations required from both parties
involved. Eternal life is a gift, that you simply receive by faith in Jesus
Christ (Galatians 3:26), and then it is yours without obligation or debt to
repay. A gift is a gift!
The Ugly Truth About Harvest Baptist
Church On Guam
You
know, what Harvest Baptist Church on Guam has done to me reminds me of an
eerie episode of The Twilight Zone. A man had planned ahead, by building a
nuclear survival shelter under his home. He had told all his neighbours
about it, but they all mocked and laughed at him for years. But then one
evening on the news, it was reported that Russia was about to launch a
massive nuclear strike against the United States! The man took his wife and
children and locked themselves into the underground bunker shelter. His
neighbours came by the droves, begging to be let in. When the man kindly
explained that there was only enough room and supplies for his own family,
his neighbours became threatening and violent. They started trying to find
ways to break in. They brought power tools, and made all kinds of threats,
terrorizing the poor man and his family. At the end of The Twilight Zone
episode, right about when his neighbours had found a way to murder the man
and his family if they didn't cooperate, the news announced that the threat
had been false, and all was back to normal. The man's neighbour's tried to
go back to THE WAY IT WAS, acting normal, but there was no way that family
could ever look at their neighbours the same again!
That is how I feel with the horrible way Harvest
Baptist Church has abused and mistreated me all these long years since 2014.
Their ungodly pastors just threw me under the bus, like I wasn't a person
anymore. They knew exactly where I lived, and my hurting situation, being
all alone in life. One of their reprobate assistant Pastors, Jared, even
mocked me, making fun of me for being alone. He said was sarcasm: “How's
your belief's working out for your social life?” I went home and cried. That
little man is a cold-hearted bastard with no business being in any ministry.
These ungodly pastors at Harvest see no problem using two dozen different
Bible versions in church. They see no harm in Calvinism, otherwise they
wouldn't promote Satanic preachers like Pastor MacArthur (the modern
godfather of Lordship Salvation). Thank God Jared quit and left Guam. Sadly,
he's ruining lives elsewhere now! I am a good judge of character, and I know
a selfish person when I meet one! Harvest is full of selfish people,
especially among their pastors and staff. It's the Richy Rich club! Harvest
loves their trips to Israel. I wish they'd stay there and not come back, and
do the island a favor!
I have said oftentimes that I would make things up
to Harvest if they ever invited me back, and simply gave me a second chance;
but they have ignored me, playing stupid games, and I have no patience for
games, nor the ability to read their minds. All I know is that NONE of my
Harvest neighbours will have anything to do with me. They just selfishly go
about their lives, as if I don't exist, knowing that I have no church to
attend, and they are okay with that. So what does that say about all of them
at Harvest? It says they are wicked people, who parasite off of Christianity
for a paycheck, and don't give a damn about THE TRUTH, nor do they give a
damn about hurting people like me, who have reached out to them numerous
times for their love, help and friendship. There is no love at Harvest!!!
Going back to my illustration of the man with the
underground nuclear shelter, if Harvest ever did invite me back, I think it
just wouldn't be the same, after they have shunned, ignored, ostracized and
avoided me AS A GROUP. They have revealed their true colors as a cult.
Still, I figure if they could ever let go of their hate, I would be glad to
make peace with them. I really think they like it this way, sadly. It was the darndest thing last year. I mean, one week I have A GROUP of
my Harvest neighbours all waving at me. I was so happy. I don't know what
the hell they were doing. I waved back as earnestly as I could to let them
know I AM HERE AND NOT UPSET AT YOU! I waited for an invitation to church,
but none ever came, so I quickly got frustrated. Next thing I know, AS A
GROUP they totally reject me again—they won't even look at me, and they
pretend like I am not a human being. Well fuddrucker them! That's Greek for
a$$holes!
I am praying about moving, possibly to Pensacola, Florida or
somewhere in Texas. It is not easy for me because of my neck pain. I am also considering taking a trip to
Asia to search for a wife, which may be easier for me to do. I am tired of being alone.
And once I leave Guam, God willing, Harvest can go to Hell, because I'll
never remove anything from the internet I've written about them, to warn
others. They could meet in front of my place as a group, telling me how
sorry they are, but once I am moving out, I would tell them to go to Hell!
Actually, I wouldn't even give them the time of day, because they are
ungodly people who love heresy, love money and don't care about other
people, which they have proven in their mistreatment of me since 2014. The
Bob Jones University crowd are of the Devil!!!
Pastor Jack Hyles is right that American women only want a man to use as a tool to get a house, money and children, but
they don't want A MAN. They are spoiled brats! Even worse, many young women nowadays are pursuing
careers and don't want to get married. And they talk about MGTOW (men going
their own way). As far as I can tell, American women are GOING THEIR OWN
WAY, and men (like me) cannot find a wife! In the old days, women desired and
searched for a man to marry, but in today's ungodly spoiled
American culture, women have been brainwashed by feminist indoctrination
(and that 100% includes Christian women) to snub and treat men like garbage.
I cannot tell you how many men have said that very thing to me—that American
women treat men like garbage!
The Simplicity of Salvation Verses
Harvest Baptist Church
The “simple” thing about salvation
is that all you have to do to receive eternal life is to BELIEVE the Gospel.
If you gladly receive the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ crucified on the
cross, buried and bodily risen the third day, you are saved! Acts 2:43,
“Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand
souls.” (God will even save you if you grumpily receive the GOOD NEWS!) They were saved by gladly receiving the Good News of Jesus
crucified, buried and risen. Then they were water baptized as a pubic
profession of their faith. Notice that they were saved first, and then
afterwards baptized with water. Salvation is BY FAITH alone. Galatians
3:2, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of
the law, or by the hearing of faith?” That
is, when a person hears the Gospel preached, and they receive it by faith,
placing their trust in that GOOD NEWS, they are saved. Believe the
GOOD NEWS
my friend and you are eternally saved!!!
Harvest Baptist Church on Guam CANNOT try to hide in
this matter, claiming to be accurate on the Gospel, while promoting
heretical Calvinists like Moody Bible Institute, Paul Washer, Ray Comfort
and Dr. John MacArthur. Harvest also promotes
Pastor Stephen Davey, who perverts the Gospel message, teaching Lordship
Salvation. God damn Harvest! I didn't say that, God did in Galatians 1:6-9.
I am using God damn in its proper context. God's curse is upon anyone who
teaches Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation), because it is ANOTHER GOSPEL!!!
The $64,000 question is: DO YOU CARE??? Well, do you? Very few (and I mean
very few) Christians care about the accuracy of THE GOSPEL. The truth
matters! It is not okay to have a dozen Bible revisions on your bookshelf to
search through to find what God said! God only authored ONE BOOK, and I
believe that Book to the the inspired KING JAMES BIBLE!!!
“But
there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall
be false
teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies...” —2nd Peter 2:1
Calvinism
is NOT the Gospel of free grace! Calvinism claims that if you are saved, you
WILL live a certain way, and if you don't it proves you were never really
saved at all. Such false doctrine places undue pressure on individuals to
“turn from their sins,” or else live in fear and uncertainty that they may
go to Hell. The big problem is how can you know when you've crossed the
line? How much sinning means you were never really saved? Certainly, I do
believe that a saved person SHOULD live for Christ. That is what the Epistle
of 1st John teaches. The Bible says in 1st John 3:8a, “He that committeth
sin is of the devil...” But Calvinists never quote the next verse in
1st John 3:9b, “he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” Since every
Christian still sins, obviously this passage means something different than
what Calvinists claim. So what does it mean? The apostle John is saying that
the Christian believer has TWO NATURES: The sinful nature (the flesh), and
the new nature (yielded to the indwelling Holy Spirit). The indwelling Holy
Spirit is evidence that we are saved (1st John 3:24). That doesn't mean
we'll always CHOOSE to walk in the Spirit. As we see in 1st Corinthians
3:14-15 (our text passage), not every born-again believer CHOOSES to serve
Jesus Christ! This man died, having no rewards whatsoever!
I am alarmed at the flood of Calvinism in our churches
today. I thank God for doctrinally sound preachers of yesteryear, like
Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951), who wrote the tract: “What
Is The Gospel?” Also, please read Dr. Ironside's helpful tract: “Another
Gospel.” It is sad that Calvinists have usurped control over Moody
Church today, who've turned apostate, turning away from the truth of a free
grace Gospel that was once preached by Pastor Harry Ironside. Christians in
today's independent fundamental Baptist churches ought to be as alarmed
about the virus of Calvinism, as they are about the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
outbreak. The Coronavirus (which has a 2% mortality rate) may kill your
body, but Calvinism (which has a 100% mortality rate) will kill your body
and soul in a burning Hell forever. I am sick and tired of the indifference,
complacency and tolerance of Calvinism in today's apostate Baptist churches.
What saith the Scripture? 2nd John 2:10-11, “If there come any unto you,
and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid
him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil
deeds.”
