God Doesn't Automatically Take Sides With A Church

Galatians 4:16-17, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.”

I heard a local Baptist pastor say not too long ago that you had better beware of going against a church. He said that God is on the church's side. That was an arrogant statement that he made, and simply not true, because the inspired Holy Bible teaches that God is NOT a respecter of persons. Acts 10:34-35, “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” To say that God always sides with a church is a foolish thing for a preacher to say, because it is simply not the truth.

What that pastor was really shamefully saying is that God sides with the group over the individual believer. The truth is that God is NOT a respecter of persons. When Elijah stood up against the 450 ungodly false prophets of Baal, the Lord was on the side of just ONE MAN, Elijah. So you see, it is not a matter of how many Christians (or church members) are united in opposition to just one man (or vise versa), because God will side with whomever is in the right.

Pensacola Christian College Preaches A False Gospel

For example: Pensacola Christian College (PCC) and their Campus Church have well over 10,000 church members and students. Yet, I have rightly taken a biblical stand against all of them since 2021. I am just one man exposing over 10,000 churchgoers as followers of a counterfeit plan of salvation! What saith the Scripture? Psalms 118:6, “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” Psalms 56:9, “When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” How can we know that God is on our side? The simple answer is to make sure that you are telling THE TRUTH. Make sure that you are morally RIGHT.

PCC are sadly committing idolatry, by perverting the Word of the Living God (Jeremiah 23:36), to satisfy the ecclesiastical pressure exerted on them by ministry peers. Since PCC is in bed committing spiritual whoredom with the Alexandrian cult at Bob Jones University (BJU), they must dip their sails in sinful compromise to adjust their doctrine to match that of the Calvinists at BJU. In case you didn't know, BJU for decades now has preached hardcore Lordship Salvation which is a false gospel). PCC wickedly hobnobs with the BJU cult.

The ungodly Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is a cesspool of iniquity, a house of BJU alumnus. I attended Harvest back in 2014, but because their incompetent pastors are preaching the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation, and I befriended them with the truth that Lordship Salvation is a perversion of God's grace, I was ruthlessly kicked out and banned from returning to attend church. Harvest's rotten pastors threw me under the bus and left me for dead! I lost my church family and happiness. Harvest's shameful pastors (Marty Herron, Gary Walton, Joe Hensen, Jared Baldwin, et cetera) have much blood on their hands, including mine. Tragically, they think it is a laughing matter and a joke, but Judgment Day is coming for them all (Galatians 6:7; Titus 1:13-14; Matthew 12:36).

So also do incompetent pastors' Jeff Redlin, Timothy Zacharias and other apostates at PCC's Campus Church have much blood on their hands. The PCC camp are extremely arrogant, resentful of anyone who dares to question their doctrine or rebuke them. Their problem is that they have grown so large as a group, it has emboldened them to do and teach whatever they want. Who is going to correct PCC's misled leaders and pastors? Thankfully, I have the inspired Word of God on my side, which means God is on my side. I am preaching a free grace Gospel. What Is The Gospel?” (an excellent Gospel tract written by Pastor Harry Ironside).

Dear reader, if you attend a Baptist church and hear the pastor preaching heresy, saying unbiblical things, like you must “follow and obey God's will instead of your self-serving sins” to be saved, then you have every God-given right to gently confront your pastor about it. I did that at the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, but their wicked stubborn pastors falsely accused me in the church office of causing “divisiveness” and “confusion.”

How ironic for a church that has dozens of different Bible versions circulating in its pews on any given Sunday (as admitted by Pastor Joe Hensen to me in the church office). So, who is really causing confusion? I am telling people that God only authored one Book, and we have it in the inspired King James Bible. But Harvest's wicked pastors are telling people that it doesn't matter which Bible version you use, we should just read dozens of them in search of the truth. What incompetence!!!

We Must Rebuke Pastors Who Are Wrong On The Gospel

Dear reader, one man plus God equals a majority. I won't hesitate for a moment to expose a corrupt church on social media, because people need to be warned. I believe in word of mouth, whether it be a bad business or a bad church. Bad churches need to be rebuked! This is 100% biblical. ...

Titus 1:10-14, “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.”

The Greek word for “sharply” is apotomos, which means “to cut abruptly, peremptorily (i.e., in an imperative and commanding manner”). The Bible exhorts Christian men learned in the Scriptures to rebuke pastors in a commanding manner who are preaching error. The Satanic idea that pastors are above reproach is not found in the Holy Bible.

But what about 1st Timothy 5:1-2, “Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.” Is this a contradiction in the Scriptures? How can we “rebuke them sharply” who corrupt the Gospel, while not rebuking an elder at the same time? In my humble opinion we should start by kindly entreating a cult pastor about his error on the Gospel.

If he doesn't listen, then the good fight of faith that follows against him is his own fault for not heeding the truth. It would be wrong to quietly leave a cult, while the pastor is preaching another gospel, sending lost sinner's to Hell forever by giving them a false hope. That pastor must be exposed. “Whose mouths must be stopped” (Titus 1:11a). If a church pastor is corrupt on the Gospel, but thinks he is correct, then he is a cult leader and needs to be exposed as the Bible teaches: “Whose mouths must be stopped” (Titus 1:11a). I cannot stop their potty mouths at PCC, but I can warn everybody about their damnable counterfeit plan of salvation. “Whose mouths must be stopped” (Titus 1:11a).

“Whose mouths must be stopped...” (Titus 1:11a)

If you think I am making too big a fuss over Bible inspiration and the accuracy of the Gospel, and perhaps you don't think I have a Christlike spirit, then you are a fool. I say that kindly but truthfully. The purity of the Holy Bible is important! The inspiration of God's Word is important. The accuracy of God's simple plan of salvation is important. Like the Apostle Paul, I am humbly by God's grace set for the defense of the Gospel (Philippians 1:17).

I Am Not Arrogant To Expose Error, I'm Obeying God

I heard an ignorant Baptist pastor recently tell his congregation that someone is arrogant if they think they're right over someone else. That was a foolish thing for him to say, because how can we contend for the faith unless we think we are right on a particular doctrine, and someone else is wrong? It doesn't matter what I think, or what you think, or what others think; all that matters is what God says in the Holy Bible. My preaching is none of my business!!! God alone tells me what to preach. I am as narrow-minded as the Word of God.

According to the unlearned pastor I just mentioned, he says I am arrogant because I think PCC's incompetent pastors are wrong on repentance. According to the false gospel preached at PCC, a person must “follow and obey God's will instead of your self-serving sins” to be saved. Where does the Bible say that? They are wrong on repentance at PCC!

According to PCC, to be saved a lost sinner must have the heart's attitude, “I repent of my sins. I realize that sin is something that God hates and I no longer want to hold onto sinful bad habits in my life.” Where does the Bible say that? Again, they are very wrong on repentance at PCC; and therefore, they are wrong on the Gospel. PCC's pastors need to get saved. They cannot be saved until they repent of their wrong repentance. Having a desire to forsake your sinful ways is works, not God's free mercy and grace which is obtained by faith alone.

Folks, PCC's and their Campus Church are promoting another gospel. PCC has a different plan of salvation than what Jesus taught. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” The Bible says you just need to realize you are a guilty sinner (Romans 3:19-20), so you will come to Jesus Christ by faith to be born-again (Galatians 3:24-26). John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” The Bible teaches that we are saved simply by BELIEVING on Jesus Christ. There is absolutely nothing in the Bible which requires you to be willing to follow and obey God's will instead of your own self-serving sins to get to Heaven, which would be the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation. One of my favorite free grace Gospel preachers said this:

“Lordship Salvation is the unsupportable and unbiblical belief that the performance of good works, the promise of good works, or the evidence of good works, must accompany faith in Christ to establish or provide evidence that such faith has resulted in eternal life.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, “Jesus Versus John MacArthur”

PCC are pulling on the same rope as the Devil, in bed with the Lordship Salvation cult at Bob Jones University. What has happened is that foolish churchgoers have listened to their incompetent pastors, instead of searching the Scriptures for themselves. They have been deceived by the clergy. ...

I am at eternal odds with the false, counterfeit messages of salvation-by-works that are taught from virtually every pulpit today, on every television channel, and on every Christian radio station; however, I am not at eternal odds with the individuals who preach these counterfeit messages. My heart literally goes out to all of them because they simply do not understand Christ’s plan of salvation. They have been lied to by a crafty enemy named Satan, whose sole aim is to take as many people with him to the lake of fire as he can possibly manage to steal away from God using a counterfeit plan of salvation that appears so real, so genuine, and so holy that few ever realize they have been deceived by it. Oh reader, so many of today’s professing Christians who think they are going to heaven when they die are not going to make it to heaven as they had assumed because they’ve been lied to by today’s error-filled gospel messages.

Christian author Michael P. Bowen further states in his excellent book titled, “I NEVER KNEW YOU”...

“Repent, as Christ meant it to be in terms of salvation, means to change your mind from trusting in what you can do for God to trusting only in what He can do for you.”

The beloved Pastor Bob Gray Sr. of the Longview Baptist Temple church in Texas correctly preaches . . .

“Repentance means to change your mind—change your mind—change your mind about how you want to get to Heaven to what God says you've got to do to get to Heaven. If you've got to repent of all your sins, you're still headed for Hell tonight.”

Pastor Tom Cucuzza makes this tremendous helpful statement:

“The Devil is doing his greatest work behind pulpits. [I] hate to say it, but that's the truth; because people have the presupposition that when you come to church and somebody gets up to speak, that person is speaking truth. That's the way we've been raised.” —Pastor Thomas M. Cucuzza, “Important Truths Satan Does Not Want You to Know”

Repentance is a “Change of Mind,” Nothing Else

I've heard many preachers wrestle the true Biblical meaning of “repent.” Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” The word “repent” in Mark 1:15 is the Greek word metanoeo, which simply means “to think differently” or “a change of mind.” Many preachers pervert the meaning of repentance by beginning with “a change of mind,” but then they embellish (add to) the basic meaning, and therefore completely change it's meaning. For example: I've heard numerous preachers say that “repentance is a change of mind resulting in a change of life.” No, that is not what it means to repent. That is self reformation! Preachers are guilty of mixing works with grace. They are guilty of not putting a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without, versus sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within.

Somehow, someway, false teachers always add works to grace. They do it very subtly, just as Satan subtly deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden. 2nd Corinthians 11:3, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” It is amazing how accurately the Word of God identifies the problems in churches today. The Devil has subtly crept his own perverted Bible revisions into most churches, corrupting people's minds from the simplicity that is in Christ (which is the Gospel).

The new Bible paraphrases wrongly redefine “repentance” to mean “a change of life.” This changes the plan of salvation to include works. The Satanic 'Easy-To-Read Version' (ERV) horribly says in Mark 1:15b, “Change your hearts and lives, and believe the Good News.” Do you see how the Devil is corrupting the Gospel?

The popular Bible paraphrase, 'The Voice' (VOICE) horribly says in Mark 1:15b, “Seek forgiveness, change your actions, and believe this good news.” Nowhere in the Scripture are we told to change our actions to be saved. Clearly, Satan is very subtly changing the Gospel, perverting God's plan of salvation for mankind. Have you believed a lie? The King James Bible simply reads in Mark 1:15b, “repent ye, and believe the Gospel.” The verb “repent” here simply means TO THINK DIFFERENTLY. It means nothing else.

There is only one “Gospel,” which 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 defines as: Christ's DEATH on the cross for our sins, His BURIAL, and bodily RESURRECTION three days later. “Repentance” is simply a person thinking differently TOWARD GOD, acknowledging that they have sinned against a holy God. Repentance is not revaluating your life's priorities, purposing in your heart to turn away from sin, and surrendering your will to live for God. That is consecration, which can only be expected of a mature believer. Repentance is from unbelief, not from your sins. A person who repents thinks differently. The only change of mind toward sin required to be saved is to admit that you are a guilty sinner.

Here is the best quote that I've found on repentance, by Dr. Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951):

“Which comes first, repentance or faith? In Scripture we read, 'Repent ye, and believe the gospel.' Yet we find true believers exhorted to 'repent, and do the first works.' So intimately are the two related that you cannot have one without the other. The man who believes God repents; the repentant soul puts his trust in the Lord when the Gospel is revealed to him. Theologians may wrangle over this, but the fact is, no man repents until the Holy Spirit produces repentance in his soul through the truth. No man believes the Gospel and rests in it for his own salvation until he has judged himself as a needy sinner before God. And this is repentance.” ('Except Ye Repent,' p. 16)

The only thing that we need to repent from to be saved is UNBELIEF.

John 3:20, “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” From reading this Scripture in John 3:20, it would seem to indicate that the antithesis (exact opposite) is turning away from sin to be saved, but this is not what it means. This Scripture simply teaches us why people won't come to the light to be saved. They don't want anything to do with the Holy Spirit, Who convicts men of sin, righteousness and judgment. John 16:8, “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.”

The word “repent” (Greek verb: metanoeo, “to think differently”) in the New Testament seems to be cryptic, that is, unclear as to its application. However, if we interpret the word repent as it relates to the preaching of the Gospel, then it becomes clear that no additional meaning is needed. Men like to complicate things. No one has ever been saved apart from the Gospel (Romans 10:14). Repentance is simply a person agreeing with God (thinking differently). God says in the Bible that all men are sinners (Romans 3:10-23).

God says that we all deserve to die for our sins—both a physical death, and also to spend eternity burning in the Lake of Fire (Romans 6:23; Revelation 21:8; 20:13-15). Ah, but God sent His only begotten Son into the world, to die on the cross for our sins (Romans 5:8; John 3:16). Jesus was buried. He miraculously resurrected physically three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). Thus, all sinners who believe the Gospel are saved (John 6:28-29, 1st Corinthians 1:21; Romans 10:13). These are the things that you must think different about. Mark 1:15b says to, “repent (change your mind) and believe the Gospel.” Repentance is the acknowledgment of my SINNERSHIP and need for the Gospel. It's all really quite simple.

Wow To Those Who Go Against The Truth Of God's Word

Dear reader, God doesn't automatically take sides with a local church. I don't care if a church runs 25 people in attendance each Sunday, or 40,000 people, God is no respecter of persons. Whoever is telling THE TRUTH is in the right. God is always on the side of right! I have been unjustly criticized by many pastors (including the horrible pastors at PCC) for preaching against the incompetent Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. Harvest uses the Devil's bibles. Harvest preaches the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation. Harvest teaches a misunderstanding of what it means to repent, errantly teaching that to be saved you must forsake a lifestyle of sin. Harvest is bad news!!! I make no apologies, nor do I have any regrets, for exposing their ungodly pastors who are damning souls to Hell. Woe unto the dumb dumb pastor who corrupts the simplicity that is in Christ, which is THE GOSPEL. ...

Proverbs 30:5-6, “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”

Nor do I apologize for exposing the ungodly incompetent pastors at Campus Church and PCC's complicit leaders, for preaching a counterfeit gospel of partial faith in Christ plus works. I do not regret taking a biblical stand against the religious cult at PCC, who shun and ostracize broken sinners and divorced people. PCC throws people away like garbage, myself included in their trash. Their leaders and pastors all take home disgusting 6-digit salaries annually. PCC is a money-grabbing cult! They don't contend for the Christian faith. PCC's graduates are the worst pastors in America—spiritually dead and lifeless. You never hear about PCC graduates being on fire for God. They are all Caspar Milquetoast type wimps.

The errant pastor who warned against going against a church speaks as a fool. No church has the Lord's guarantee of divine protection, that is tampering with the Gospel by adding  “turning from sinful ways” to God's grace. God authored the Gospel of John to show humanity how to be saved. Nowhere in John will you find anything about turning from your sinful ways to get to Heaven. Wicked men added those extra words. Jonah 3:10 says that God saw their WORKS, that the Ninevites turned from their evil way. This verse also says that God repented. Is God a sinner who needs to repent? This proves that repentance doesn't mean to turn from your sins. God repented in the Bible more than anyone. That is, God changed His mind.

If a church is wrong, then they are wrong, and one godly man who preaches against them is pleasing to the Lord. God doesn't automatically side with a Baptist church group over an individual believer. Shame on any arrogant church and pastor who think they are above reproach!!! If you are wrong on God's simple plan of salvation, I WILL EXPOSE YOU, and almighty God will be 100% on my side for doing it, applauding me all the time.
