The Dangerous Power Of A Religious Cult Over People

Galatians 3:13, “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?”

Sadly, many churches today are not churches at all, but deadly religious cults. Any so-called “church” that preaches another gospel is a cult. The Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is dangerous religious cult, not a New Testament church. Satan is always trying to creep his fatal poisonous doctrines into the churches. The Devil has greatly succeeded. The rotten Southern Baptist Convention today has 45,000 member churches, including the First Baptist Church of Pensacola downtown, which was founded in the year 1847. Although full of a lot of really awesome people, the FBCP is corrupt. Their senior pastor preaches hardcore Lordship Salvation, teaching people that faith is not enough to get to Heaven, he says you must also repent and turn away from your sins, follow Christ as Lord your entire life, and live for Christ. Dear reader, none of this is the Gospel!

I sat in their sanctuary one Sunday morning, new to Pensacola, visiting different churches. I was horrified when I heard Pastor Dave Snyder get up behind the pulpit and tell several hundred people present that to get to Heaven they must turn from their sins and follow Christ as “Lord for a lifetime. What saith the Scripture? When the Roman jailor asked Paul and Silas: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” The simply answer was: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” If repenting to turn away from sinful living was required to be saved, then Paul and Silas assuredly would have mentioned it, but they didn't.

Folks, heresy has flooded into our churches. The official statement of faith of the Southern Baptist Church (SBC), of which the First Baptist Church of Pensacola (FBCP) is a member, teaches that to be saved a person must repent of their sins with all their heart. You cannot show me that teaching anywhere in the inspired King James Bible. And don't you dare quote to me some corrupt modern version, because the Devil has been in the Bible publishing business since 1881, when Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort first introduced their damnable Greek New Testament to the naïve religious world. Satan is the god of this world (2nd Corinthians 4:3-4). You has better believe that the Devil is going to corrupt God's Word, to blind men's minds to hinder them from seeing the light of THE TRUTH of the Gospel, lest they be saved.

I would join the FBCP if they simply preached a free grace Gospel, but they do not. I attended their Discovery Class recently. They have a double standard at FBCP. In that class (which was professionally done), we were told by Pastor Snyder himself that the church believes in salvation by faith alone, but that is not what I heard Pastor Snyder preach in the sanctuary a few months back. I love them at FBCP and I am their friend. I am not a troublemaker. It is not my place to correct their pastors, and I am tired of making enemies everywhere I go. The Devil has deceived today's church pastors, causing them to be caught between grace and works (an awesome sermon by my friend Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, MP3).

When I attended the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam for a year in 2014, there ungodly pastors were preaching the Devil's tommyrot of Lordship Salvation, Wrong Repentance, using the Devil's corrupt Bibles, and teaching that Martin Luther (1483-1546) is in Heaven. Luther taught his entire life that you must be water baptized to get to Heaven. Go read his catechisms online, written by him in 1529. Luther allegedly got saved in 1517 by faith alone. Uh, I don't think so! In fact, I know so, because NO ONE has ever been saved who thinks that you must be water baptized to get to Heaven, which is works. If God excuses ignorance, then certainly the false prophets in Matthew 7:21-23 would have been pardoned, but Jesus said: I NEVER KNEW YOU!” (an excellent book by Michael P. Bowen)...

I am not the enemy of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam (although they would say differently), I am simply REBUKING THEM SHARPLY who subvert whole households (Titus 1:9-14). Harvest bids Godspeed to the dangerous cult at Bob Jones University, broadcasting BJU's daily chapel services throughout Micronesia.

When I heard the pastors of Harvest preaching another Gospel of Lordship Salvation, I sincerely tried to help them. Evangelist Tom Farrell was right: “A friend helps a friend to see.” Ironically, I heard Dr. Ferrell say that on Harvest's KHMG 88.1 FM radio station on Guam. But when I tried to help Marty Herron, Joe Hansen, Jared Baldwin and Gary Walton see, they were greatly offended and reprimanded me, literally calling me, Dr. Jack Hyles and Pastor Al Lacy “a cult” because we expose the Devil's modern corrupt Bible revisions. SHAME on those wicked pastors, none of whom ought to be trusted to stand behind any church pulpit.

Long story short, I was forced to leave Harvest after their pastors attacked me for TELLING THE TRUTH. I humbly believe that God sent me to Harvest Baptist Church on Guam to help them, but they killed the messenger. Whether or not God led me to Harvest I do not know, but I DO KNOW that God used me to tell them THE TRUTH, which they rejected. God will hold them accountable (Matthew 12:36; Galatians 3:1:6-9, 3:1-3, 5:4, 6:7). My blood is on their hands at Harvest. I rebuked their pastors Biblically for preaching another gospel of Lordship Salvation (which is Calvinism repackaged).

I rebuked them sharply for preaching another gospel of “repent and turn away from a lifestyle of sinning” to get to Heaven, which is totally unbiblical. Jesus came to die for our sins on the cross, not demand that we KEEP GOD'S LAW in the Old testament to be saved (Romans 3:19-20). When you tell someone to repent “of their sins,” you are trying to keep them under the curse of the law. Galatians 3:24-26 teaches that the purpose of God's law is to show us our sinnership, and then bring us to Christ to be saved by grace through faith alone.

I rebuked those wicked pastors for promoting Satan's corruptible seed, pulling on the same rope as the Devil. Sadly, Campus Church and Pensacola Christian College sinfully bid Godspeed to the rotten Bob Jones University cult (of which are all the pastors at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam). They idolize Dr. Steve Pettit (their cult leader and president of BJU since 2014). I was horribly kicked out of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam and banned from returning. They shunned and ostracized me, not only in the church, but in the small community on Guam. Everywhere I went I was mocked, laughed at, ignored, given hateful looks, and mistreated because their cult leaders turned the church members against me! Ladies and gentleman, that is the dangerous power of a cult.

My only offense was TELLING THE TRUTH, for which I was blackballed, despised and demonized by Marty Herron, Joe Hansen, Jared Baldwin and Gary Walton (cult leaders). The Bible teaches salvation by simple childlike faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. You don't get saved by forsaking a lifestyle of sinning. You don't get saved by counting the cost and paying the price to follow Christ as “Lord of your life. These ungodly infidels are spiritually blind.

For 7 long and very painful years, I had no church family. I lost all of my friends that I had made at Harvest Baptist Church, because their wicked pastors bad-mouthed me publicly and turned the entire church against me. Literally, dozens of my Harvest Baptist Church on Guam neighbours wouldn't even look at m anymore. They avoided me, shunned me, never invited me to activities anymore, didn't care about me anymore as a hurting human being, and left me to rot, throwing me under the bus! In desperation in 2017, I even begged Harvest's pastors to please let me come back to church, because I was lonely. Talk about casting pearl before the swine!

In hindsight I never should have requested to return to a cult. But I was emotionally broken down, weak and needing the love of a church family. That wicked devil, senior pastor Marty Herron, literally said to me, verbatim: “Go elsewhere!” There was no compassion, no love of God, no mercy, no genuine care or concern; they just left me to die, like Ben Fieldhouse, who killed himself in 2010 (Ben was a member of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam). Harvest is a Satanic cult, who have repeatedly rejected THE TRUTH! Bob Jones University (BJU) is cult headquarters. BJU is also the Alexandrian Cult.

Dear friend, I know the utter inexplicable pain of thinking that I am attending a New Testament church; but then became horrified to learn that I was in a deadly religious cult, who preach another gospel of partial faith plus works to be saved, who promote the Devil's bibles, and make light of THE TRUTH. I have been faithful to earnestly contend for the Christian faith (Jude 1:3). I have been faithful to REBUKE THEM SHARPLY that they might be sound in the faith, but they are not listening (Titus 1:9-14). I have been faithful to refute all works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11). These wicked pastors in their spiritual blindness, wretched condition and arrogance have hurt, maligned, shunned, ostracized, slandered and turned countless people against me. That is the dangerous power of a cult over people!

You see, people by nature are followers. They want to love and support their leaders, especially church pastors (who speak about God). I have seen this trend over and over, where church members yield their mind, heart and body to church pastors. Some are sexually taken advantage of by ungodly pastors. It is not hard to see how pastors get away with these types of horrible sins, when we see how people are so submissive, unquestioning and loyal to the point of creepiness to pastors! Folks, we ought to serve Jesus Christ, not a bad church or pastors! If you tithe to a corrupt church, you are wasting your money! If you are tithing to a false church that preaches another gospel of Wrong Repentance and/or Lordship Salvation (Calvinism), then YOU ARE IN A RELIGIOUS CULT! When church leaders exceed what the Scriptures teach, then that church has become a cult!

You cannot show me one verse in the Bible that backs-up the heresy of Lordship Salvation. You cannot show me even one Scripture that says to repent “of your sins” to be saved. If you don't have a King James Bible, you don't have an inspired Holy Bible in the English language! I am being your best friend right now. These are not my poet peeves, this is THE TRUTH!!!

Please make sure that the church you are attending is not a cult. If the pastor tells you that more than faith is required to be saved, RUN FROM THAT PLACE! If your pastor says that you cannot just write your name, date and place that you became a child of God (born again), RUN FROM THAT PLACE! Dr. Steve Pettit at BJU preaches that garbage theology, saying that you cannot just accept Christ and that's it! How WRONG he is!!!

When church members will no longer even wave back at you, because you tried to help them by giving them THE TRUTH, they are in a cult. Too many churches today have become deadly religious cults, where the pastors have frightening power of influence over people's lives. I have known Christian women to divorce their husband, for no other reason than her pastor told her to. That is as wicked as Hell and frightening! No one ought ever recommend a divorce, especially men in the clergy. I said “men, because women are forbidden Biblically to pastor a church. It is the sin of rebellion against God!

The biggest cult of all is Roman Catholicism, which we don't hear enough preaching against in churches today. Baptist pastors have dropped the ball for God. Preachers no longer contend for the faith. They no longer take a stand against sin, falsehoods and evil. God pity us!

I know the inexplicable emotional pain of being shunned and ostracized in the community by a religious cult, by the hellish Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. By God's grace, I will continue to expose them for the rest of my earthly life, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, to warn others who may unsuspectingly walk into their deadly cult entrapment. Dear reader, please think for yourself. I said, please THINK FOR YOURSELF!!! Don't just blindly follow clergy, who may be leading you into the fires of Hell, like this degenerate fool, Pastor Isaiah Saldivar. That is my work for today, I need to expose this wicked infidel. Isaiah has 357,000 YouTube subscribers!!! This infidel is a child of the Devil, a false teacher, preaching a corrupt plan of salvation.

Thank you for reading my blog. I love you with Christ's love, whoever you may be.
