Titus 1:9-14, “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 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.”
I love this vital passage of Scripture! It condemns all false teachers, who SUBVERT WHOLE HOUSES, teaching things (e.g., Lordship Salvation and the heresy “turn from your sin to be saved”) they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake (pursuing a career as a pastor, clergy or Bible professor). The inspired Holy Bible is very plain and clear that godly men are commanded to RUFUTE (expose) all counterfeit plans of salvation, which corrupt families. Dear reader, that means every God-fearing preacher today should be exposing the cult at Bob Jones University, who today preach hardcore Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation). Yet, I keep getting rebuked and mistreated by the Pensacola Christian College camp for obeying God. What gives?
When I attended the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam for the year of 2018, Pastor Sean Quinlan shamefully berated me for my zeal to expose the rotten Bob Jones crowd. I was speaking with Bill, a man at the church, and my friend, about what is wrong with the modern Bible revisions. While I was edifying my brother in Christ, I mentioned that “Bob Jones University sells corruptible seed (Devil's bibles).” Pastor Quinlan was eavesdropping on our conversation and became upset when he heard that. I found out from talking to Quinlan that he bids Godspeed to the Calvinist Bob Jones camp!
I was disgusted with him as a church leader. Pastor Quinlan literally called the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam: “our sister church!” I rebuked him upon the authority of God's Word, informing him that Harvest Baptist Church preaches the Devil's false gospel of Calvinism! Quinlan shameful replied: “It's none of our business what they do at Harvest!” I fully knew then that I was talking to a total damned fool. Any pastor who sinfully bids Godspeed to Calvinists ought not be trusted to preach behind any pulpit.
You see friends, what has horribly happened is that making money is the most important thing today for professed Christians. Of course, no one who believes and teaches Calvinism is saved. Anyone who ADDS “turn away from your sins” to be saved is lost! That is telling them to KEEP THE LAW (the Old Testament law, which includes the Ten Commandments). What saith the Scripture? Romans 3:19-20, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Christ came into the world to die on the cross for our sins, not demand that we forsake committing sin as a prerequisite to receive His free gift of eternal life.
Bob Jones University and company are guilty of SUBVERTING WHOLE HOUSES of people. Yet, you'll have a difficult time finding any preachers today who spare not, and cry aloud, against the doctrinal sins of the Bob Jones camp. Isaiah 58:1, “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” That same preaching principle applies to ALL PREACHERS!!! If God wanted the preachers to cry aloud, spare not, and lift up their voice like a trumpet 2,700 years ago in Isiah's time, then God wants preachers to have that same fire and conviction in our preaching today.
So where are they? Huh? Where are the preachers today who cry aloud, spare not, and lift up their voice like a trumpet. The only one's I know and Pastor Steven Anderson and his band of fellow preachers around the country (Bruce Mejia, Roger Jimenez, Jonathan Shelley, Grayson Fritts, et cetera). The wimpy, unsaved and corrupt Pat Robertson, Joel Osteen, Marty Herron, Gary Walton, Steve Pettit, Chuck Phelps, Steven Furtick and Rick Warren type preachers are sending the world to Hell. Sadly, pastors are no longer preachers today! If your pastor does not cry aloud, spare not, and lift up his voice like a trumpet to expose sin, he is a cowardly wimp and not a godly preacher!!! The shamefully wimpy and sinfully compromised Sean Quinlan and Jeff Redlin (Pensacola Christian College) types of our generation are not going to save this nation! Those bad pastors are the problem today with churches!!!
I couldn't believe the ungodly things that Pastor Sean Quinlan said to me in 2018. He defended Calvinists! Quinlan is so very WRONG to say that it is not our business what they do in the Bob Jones camp. Buster, IT IS OUR BUSINESS!!! How else could the Apostle Paul have known in Titus 1:13-14 that heresy was being propagated elsewhere, unless he made it his business to know what other ministers and churches were preaching? It is my business, a nd it's yours too.
Kindly said, every born-again child of God should be taking a Biblical stand against the Roman Catholic churches in your community! I'm not saying to bash Catholics, be unkind or burn down their cathedrals, God forbid. We should be nice, loving, helpful and gentle toward everyone, regardless of what they believe about religion. I would NEVER suggest or sanction committing a crime. But I am saying every preacher should be speaking publicly from his church pulpit against the Catholic religion, exposing their damnable Sacramental Salvation, which cannot produce the new birth in Christ Jesus. Jesus warned everyone in John 3:1-7 that in order to enter into Heaven, “YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN” (John 3:7b). The Devil's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born-again. Satan is a beautiful liar!
Pensacola Christian College (PCC) and their graduates have a pathetic indifferent attitude, which is contagious and deadly like the COVID-19 virus. PCC are so busy making money and going through all the motions of an academic institution, that they lost sight LONG AGO about what really matters! RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!!
When I first moved from Guam to Pensacola in July of 2021, I chose to attend Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College. I was quickly frustrated when I heard assistant pastor, Timothy Zacharias on July 21 preach wrong repentance. The preceding link takes you to a screenshot from their Founder's Class, which they showed the Wednesday night I was sitting in the Campus Church auditorium. I was disgusted as I listened to Pastor Zacharias pervert the Gospel of free grace, falsely teaching that your behavior will change if you've really repented. That has absolutely NOTHING to do with getting saved folks!
You and I are dirty guilty sinners, for whom Jesus Christ gave His life on the cross to pay our debt of sin. Your life doesn't have to change to prove anything! Behavior modification is not part of the Gospel. The problem is that most preachers mix up and confuse sanctification with justification. You've got to keep the two completely separate! I love what John Bunyan said:
“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —John Bunyan (1628-1688)
Wow, that is a helpful quote! He nailed it. What Jeff Redlin and Tim Zacharias are sinfully doing is mixing sanctification with justification, corrupting the Gospel. A change of behavior should NEVER be mentioned along with getting saved, because it comes later. To mention a change of behavior, or turning away from sins, or anything else that requires sacrifice on the part of the person getting saved, negates the legal transaction. Getting saved is a legal matter. You are a guilty sinner if you are not saved. Christ paid your debt of sin, but that payment must be appropriated or else you won't receive it, ever. You appropriate it by faith in the Good News (Gospel) of Christ crucified, buried and risen the third day (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).
When I attended Campus Church, Pastor Jeff Redlin horribly mistreated me. At first he seemed okay and I felt like maybe he cared, but it wasn't even two weeks and someone contacted the church to slander me. Sadly, Pastor Redlin didn't tell them to shut up, he acted on the slander and said some unkind words to me, to his utter shame. SHAME on Jeff Redlin for listening to Gospel, for jumping to conclusions, for not talking to me first if he had something to say about it. That is a little man and a very bad pastor!
Even worse, Redlin berated me for being divorced and hoping after 15 years of loneliness to someday remarry. My former and only wife abandoned me in 2006. The divorce was her choice alone. I cried and begged for her not to go, but she refused, which I have in writing in the divorce documents. Yet, according to the ungodly PCC camp, you're just supposed to masturbate for the rest of your life, because “Christ is all you need.” Even God Himself says that it is not good for a man to be alone. Genesis 2:18, “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” These foolish people at Pensacola Christian College are out of touch with reality. What total jerks!!!
The sad truth is that they invite and thrive on happily married couple in the PCC camp (and that includes formerly divorced couples who are now already remarried), but if you are divorced and still single like me they will condemn, shun, reject and ostracize you like you are garbage for even mentioning remarriage. That is exactly what Jeff Redlin shamefully did to me, and it is EMOTIONAL ABUSE!
Something is very WRONG with that kind of ungodly hypocrisy!!! SHAME on the Pensacola Christian College crowd for berating divorced people, and for sinfully bidding Godspeed to the accursed Bob Jones University crowd (who preach another gospel from another book, all the while attacking the Gospel of free grace and the inspired King James Bible).
