The Wickedness Of Bob Jones University

Luke 5:36, “And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.”

There is something very wicked going on at Bob Jones University, which I am compelled to warn everyone about, for your own eternal safety. Pastor John MacArthur does not preach the Gospel as taught in the King James Bible. MacArthur states:

“The narrow gate is hard to find and hard to go through, because it demands: denial of self, denial of self-righteousness, recognition of sin, full repentance, submission to Christ, commitment to obey Him, and follow Him no matter what the cost!” —Pastor John MacArthur, a quote from his sermon titled, “Saved Or Self-Deceived, Part One” (time: 4:25 in YouTube sermon video)

That is another gospel. What saith the Scripture? 1st Corinthians 15:1-4:

1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

Whereas the Word of God only requires that a person BELIEVE the Gospel (i.e., Christ's death, burial and resurrection) to be saved, John MacArthur has added six more requirements, as I just quoted to you. Bob Jones University promotes John MacArthur. Dr. Steve Pettit (BJU's president since 2014) teaches the same junk theology as John MacArthur. But the college invites other speakers, like Dr. Bob Jones III, to speak on 'A Teacher Named Grace' on 'The Daily Platform.' I heard the sermon today, and it is a very great sermon. Dr. Bob Jones III get's the Gospel right, but Dr. Steve Pettit gets it all wrong! Some BJU staff members have preached on salvation by Faith and Grace, but at the same time BJU endorses John MacArthur's false gospel. BJU is a house divided, with literally two different gospels gloating around, just like the divided Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. 

At best, Bob Jones University's 'The Daily Platform' is confusing. On January 26, 2020 Dr. Steve Pettit dropped a bombshell sermon on BJU students called: 'What It Means To Run The Race.'

“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!” —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 11:34)

Sadly, these people don't care! The Bob Jones' crowd on Guam at the Harvest Baptist Church don't care! When I tried to help them see what is wrong with John MacArthur's heretical Lordship Salvation, I was forced out of their church, banned and ostracized. I pleaded for their understanding, and a second chance to have a church family, but they cold-hardheartedly rejected me. This is not God's love. I just tried to be a true friend. Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) fully understood that deadbeat ecumenicals in the Bob Jones' camp, sinfully count fundamentalists (like me) their enemy, because I refuse to remain NEUTRAL in the work of God...

“God has a special rebuke, again and again and again in the Bible, toward those people who keep their neutrality in the work of God!” —Dr. Jack Hyles, “Where Were You In The Battle?”

When you tell the truth, you will make enemies and lose fake friends, especially among the ungodly, ecumenical, shallow, Bob Jones University camp. They will accept anyone who believes either a free grace Gospel, or the heresy of Lordship Salvation. They will accept someone who teaches only Lordship Salvation. But they absolutely will not accept or tolerate anyone (like me) who exposes John MacArthur and Lordship Salvation as being of the Devil. The BJU crowd have been deceived by Satan!

Billy Graham (1918-2018) did more evil than any other minister, to unite believing Evangelicals with unbelieving Roman Catholics. The consequence is that the Gospel was blurred, and millions of people went to Hell, living the Christian life without ever being born-again. Likewise, so also is Steve Pettit doing much evil to unite believing Fundamentalists with the unbelieving Neo-evangelical Lordship Salvation crowd! And once again, the Gospel of free grace is being blurred. I receive countless emails from people who are scarred, confused, worried, uncertain and unsure about the assurance of their salvation, because of false teachers like Dr. Steve Pettit. For example: On March 30, 2020 Mr. Pettit tried to frighten 2,700 BJU students, warning them that if they perpetually lie they'll go to Hell. The Bible says if you tell even one lie you are going to Hell (Revelation 21:8; James 2:10). Evangelist Ray Comfort heretically teaches people that they must live a lifestyle of repentance to get to Heaven. This generates constant fear, wondering if you've turned from enough of your sins to prove you really repented. That is a works-based false gospel!

The BJU crowd have been deceived by Satan! As long as the money is coming in, they couldn't care less. BJU is a religious institution in 2020, no longer a Christian institution! They are unclear about the Gospel. BJU is intentionally trying to confuse their students, to diminish and blur the lines between salvation by grace through faith alone, to whitewash the Satanic garbage of Lordship Salvation. This is a very wicked thing to do. Bob Jones University and their graduates need to pick a plan of salvation and stick with it, not play on both sides of the fence. BJU does the same thing with the inspired Holy Bible, playing all sides of the fence! It is shameful. Right doctrine matters folks! The truth matters! You cannot have multiple plans of salvation, umpteen Bibles, and keep pretending like everything is okay, which is exactly what Bob Jones University is doing. It is wickedness!!!
