Titus 1:13-14, “This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”
Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”
While attending their church, there was a man named Tom at the church in 2021 when I began attending in October. Since me and Tom are both King James Bible only men, and truth-telling contenders of the Christian faith, we became instant friends. Me and Tom used to love talking about the Word of God. We often spoke about the corrupt modern Bible revisions, and shared many truths with one another. I really appreciate Tom's extensive Bible knowledge.
One day Tom kindly confronted Pastor Brad Moffett at Family Baptist Church. Tom told him that as the pastor he should be warning people about Satan's corrupt Bibles. Now, in fairness to Pastor Brad, I don't know the whole story. Tom's story is quite different from Pastor Brad's story. Tom says that Brad didn't have much patience with him and kicked him out. According to Pastor Brad, he and Tom exchanged 128 emails before Brad made the ultimate decision to kick Tom out of the church family. The local church that someone attends is their spiritual family in the Lord.
For the record, I am unalterably opposed to ever kicking anyone out of a church. No one has a right to kick someone out of their family in Christ. I cannot find a single passage of Scripture that says to throw someone out of a church. You may count someone who refuses to be reasoned with as “a heathen man and a publican,” if they are truly in the wrong (Matthew 18:15-17), but the Bible doesn't say to kick them out the door. No one should ever be kicked out of their family.
Now, in the case of Tom, I take Tom's side in this dispute with Family Baptist Church. In the 45 months that I attended their church, not once did I ever hear Pastor Brad warn anyone in his congregation about the modern corrupt Bible revisions. I have a right to my own opinion, and in my opinion any pastor who fails to warn God's flock (it's not the pastor's flock) about Satan's corrupt Bible perversions is an incompetent pastor. That is my honest humble opinion.
What bothers me about the feud between Tom and Pastor Brad is that Tom is in the right. Pastor Brad should be warning people about the Devil's false bibles, but he refuses to do so. I and my wife met with Pastor Brad on April 30th, 2025, for what we thought would be marriage counseling. Sadly, the pastor did a Bait & Switch on us, and instead chose to use that time to censure my website ministry, making a big fuss over my Bible preaching against women wearing pants, because his own wife and mother wear pants (which he mentioned in his office). That conversation should never have taken place!
If you listen to Pastor Brad discuss why he kicked Tom out of Family Baptist Church, he'll portray Tom as an unreasonable and difficult man who refused to let the matter go. And in part, Brad would be right. Tom is stubborn, just like me and God. You see, Tom knew that he was right. And Tom is right! But instead of recognizing Tom's stubbornness to fight the good fight of faith (2nd Timothy 4:7) as a good thing, Pastor Brad chose to silence Tom by kicking him out of the church. Unfortunately for Pastor Brad and Family Baptist Church, kicking a truth-teller out the door doesn't remove the underlying fact that Tom was telling THE TRUTH all along. They cannot silence God.
What Pastor Brad should have done is respect and honor Tom for contending for the faith. A pastor doesn't know everything. Tom is 85 years old, born in 1939. I was born in 1967. Pastor Brad Moffett was born in 1987. Tom is 48 years older than Brad! I humbly think that Tom deserves much more respect from Family Baptist Church than he was shown! The pastor could have simply blocked Tom's emails and stopped debating. I never once saw or heard Tom disrupt the church service in any way. As I mentioned, I don't know the whole story, but I do know that Tom was absolutely right to tell Pastor Brad that he has a duty as a Watchman to warn people about corrupt Bible revisions. Pastor Jack Hyles was right, the most important job is the one that doesn't get done!
In 2022, I heard Pastor Brad say from his pulpit that to get to Heaven you must repent. He said that repentance means to turn away from your past sinful life. I cringed in my chair, knowing that the pastor was teaching damnable heresy. Although it is true that one must repent to be saved, repentance does not mean to forsake a lifestyle of sinning. So, I bought him a hard copy for $17 of Michael P. Bowen's helpful book in defense of a free grace Gospel, titled: “I NEVER KNEW YOU” (free .pdf version). I personally handed the book to Pastor Brad after a Sunday morning service and he graciously accepted it.
The book very plainly exposes the Satanic lie of having to “repent of your sins” to be saved. I never asked the pastor if he read the book, nor did I ever ask him what he thought about it, because I didn't want to push the issue. I liked the church family and didn't want to risk being shown the door. Unfortunately, as of 2025 the church's official Statement of Faith still says that you must “Repent of your sins” to get to Heaven. Evidently Pastor Brad either didn't read the book I handed to him in 2022, or his unpleasant arrogant father controls the church, or else Brad simply doesn't agree with the truth. Turning from your sins is NOT a part of God's simple plan of salvation. Christ died on a cross to pay our debt of sins.
During the conversation, Pastor Brad wanted to share with me and Alice his position on the Bible. Brad kindly said he doesn't think we have a perfect, inspired, Bible today. He does NOT think that the King James Bible is perfect nor inspired. He also made it clear to us that he is NOT King James Bible only, even though the church officially uses the King James Bible. I put him on the spot, by asking him which of the modern Bible versions does he consider okay to use. He specifically mentioned the Modern English Version (MEV) as one that he sanctions. Well, take a look at how corrupt the MEV is! Truly a picture is worth a thousand words! ...
Would you like to know what the Modern English Version (MEV) reads? I thought you would...
MODERN ENGLISH VERSION (MEV) - Zachariah 13:6, “If someone asks, 'What are these wounds on your arms?' he will say, 'I was struck in the house of my close friends.'”
Arms? Good night man! The King James Bible correctly reads, “hands.” Do you see dear reader how Satan has deliberately used legal copyright laws and greed to corrupt the inspired Word of God? The Devil is a beautiful liar!
Again, in my opinion this makes Brad Moffett an incompetent pastor. He's a nice guy on a personal level, but a lousy pastor in my humble opinion. If you don't have a King James Bible, you don't have an inspired Holy Bible. I believe that we DO have a perfect inspired King James Bible today! All of the modern Bible revisions are corrupt. If Brad would simply listen to the wise men whom God has sent his way to help him, he could become a great pastor!
There is no weekly door to door soulwinning at Family Baptist Church. That is one of the reasons why the church is mostly empty, and hasn't grown in its 12 year history. The church is languishing in mediocrity, just the way they like it. Jeremiah 5:31, “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Wow, what an indictment! Their pastors are doing things their own way instead of God's way. God's method of church building is publicly, house to house, soulwinning (Acts 20:20). At Family Baptist Church they have a few big days each year (bouncy houses, ice-cream truck, Halloween candy and fireworks) and then hope some of those folks will come back to church, and some do. But that is not the Bible way to build a church! Soulwinning works!!!
But when a church is wrong on repentance, which means they are wrong on the Gospel, there can be no true soulwinning. A false plan of salvation cannot produce the new birth. No one has ever been born again by repenting of their evil ways. In Jonah 3:10, the Bible said the Ninevites turned from their evil ways, and God called it WORKS!
All that being said, we need more faithful Christians like Tom in the world. And humbly said, we need more truth-tellers like me too! I don't claim to be a good Christian. I know that I am a hypocrite in many ways, because I struggle with the sinful nature just like we all do. But bless God, I know more than anything else in this world that the King James Bible is the inspired, preserved, holy, incorruptible, tested and inerrant Words of almighty God. All of the modern English Bible revisions are based or influenced on the corrupt Greek text of Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort (two Anglican infidels who denied nearly every fundamental doctrine of the Bible). You can listen to Pastor Max D. Younce's entire series here).
It just seems so unfair to me that when an elderly Christian saint of God tries to help a young whipper-snapper cocky pastor do the right thing, he ultimately gets kicked out of the church as a troublemaker. Tom didn't take it well either. Before it was all said and done, Tom was threatened with the police if he ever stepped foot onto the church property again. That seems to be their thing at Family Baptist Church, because they threatened me and my wife with the police too, on the day we were told never to return. SHAME on them!
A godly pastor would recognize Tom's value as a church member. There is no controversy if you believe the Bible. Sadly, what Pastor Brad wants is a church full of minions, yes men who lean upon his every word without question, or keep their opinions to themselves. Guys like me and Tom are different, we care. Right doctrine matters!
