Romans 16:17-18, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”
I know posting a Google review is a long shot to reach someone but in the interest of helping someone avoid the great mistake I made, please consider all other options before considering this one. It truly makes me sad that this place has the word "Christian" in it's name, as most (I will admit I can think of two people that teach there I truly admire) of the staff and faculty are the furthest thing from Christ as you can get. Having now attended two other universities for graduate studies and a state university for specialized training, I can say from experience that the education does very little to prepare you for your life. Leadership is not concerned for your spiritual growth but rather they are focused on control both sociologically and emotionally. I truly do want to help someone avoid making a great mistake but I know many will not consider the negative words in the comments here both from me and others. But please consider this if you do attend, for the majority of the chapels/church services etc. when you walk away can you honestly say that you have learned something about God and can now explain something from his word or did you hear an emotionally charged speech geared to causing people to "feel" the need to do something regardless of what a full passage of Scripture teaches?
Wow! Jon Ehnis took the words right out of my mouth: “It truly makes me sad that this place has the word 'Christian' in it's name, as most of the staff and faculty are the furthest thing from Christ as you can get.” People just want to be loved, but you won't find compassion at PCC or Campus Church. What you will find are tons of strict rules without love! Tyranny is rarely seen except by those who are oppressed by it. The grass is always greener over the septic tank!
Pastor Jack Hyles made these great statements about places like PCC:
“I am all for standards, but I am not for standards without love.” —Pastor Jack Hyles“The pastors have destroyed the churches, and they've been trained by people that have never built churches, and they have no compassion.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Many Pastors Have Destroyed My Vineyard”
Amen and amen! Dr. Hyles practically gives the address of Pensacola Christian College at 250 Brent Lane in Pensacola, Florida. PCC are so ruthless that they even sued their own graduate, Peter Cage (which you can read online). 1st Corinthians 6:7 forbids a Christian from suing another Christian in court. But as is typical of PCC's ungodly owners and leaders, they couldn't care less about obeying the Bible.
Preachers often receive dirty looks from the audience because of telling the truth. But God told the prophet in Ezekiel 2:6, “And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.” I won't stop preaching the truth about PCC! I love everybody and am going to be nice toward everyone, regardless of how they mistreat me. PCC is the problem, and their brainwashed followers. The grass is always greener over the septic tank.
In case anyone thinks I am barking up an empty tree, or that I merely have a personal grudge against Jeff Redlin at Campus Church, may I again remind you of what PCC alumni Jon Ehnis posted on Google, who took the words right out of my mouth:
“It truly makes me sad that this place has the word 'Christian' in it's name, as most of the staff and faculty are the furthest thing from Christ as you can get.” —PCC Alumni Jon Ehnis
Never more truer words were spoken! At PCC they have erected a superficial shell masquerading as Bible Christianity, but it's all phony and corrupt. For starters, they preach a counterfeit plan of salvation at PCC and their pathetic Campus Church. The Lordship Salvation Cult At Pensacola Christian College. They preach damnable heresy at PCC! It saddens me how shallow professed Christians are today. When you add religion to a person who is a narcissistic jerk, and then give them a ridiculously large salary and power of influence, you have now created a religious monster (aka, Pastor Jeff Redlin). The grass is always greener over the septic tank.
When I attended Campus Church at PCC in 2021, I was horribly insulted and mistreated by their incompetent senior pastor, Jeff Redlin, who gets paid a sickening 6-digit salary (more than five times what the average American working man earns in a year). The days of sincere servants of God are long gone; now all we have are a bunch of money grubbing religious pimps who masquerade as church pastors. Truly the love of money is the root of all evil (1st Timothy 6:10-11). The grass is always greener over the septic tank. That is, the grass always grows greener over the manure reservoir!
Malachi 2:3, “And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.”
Shamefully, PCC's pastors are not listening to God in His inspired Word. Instead, they are doing their own thing, preaching another gospel that requires you to turn from your sinful bad habits to get to Heaven, instead of by faith alone as the Holy Bible teaches (Acts 16:30-31). As you just read, the Bible says God smears dung on their face. The grass is always greener over the septic tank.
It is tragic that PCC has a massive influence on churches all across America, and they know it, which power has gone to their heads. Thankfully there is a God in Heaven, who men do not control. God is not a respecter of persons. God hears the cry of PCC's many victims, including myself. When I begged for their forgiveness and compassion, they threw me under the bus and put the transmission into gear and drove over me while laughing. That is PCC! The grass is always greener over the septic tank.
God heard the cry of Abel's blood from the ground (Genesis 4:10). God heard the cry coming from the city of Sodom (Genesis 18:21; 19:13). God cares about hurting people. God knows the truth that I came to Campus Church with the sincerest of intentions, but was abused by their wicked pastor. When I hand wrote a letter and mailed it PCC to let them know how shameful their pastor was behaving, they couldn't have cared less, which showed me that PCC is very sick spiritually. God already knows how corrupt PCC is. They don't even have the Gospel right, which means they are not saved. PCC's pastors are hellbound infidels.
Shame on the Sword of the Lord for selling PCC's advertisements for money. The Sword has gone down the toilet since Dr. Curtis Hutson graduated to Heaven in 1995. Dr. Shelton Smith (Sword editor since 1995) ought to be ashamed of himself for supporting PCC's apostasy! I sent a message to the Sword of the Lord to warn them about PCC, but as I expected the Sword failed to reply to me. They love money more than truth at the Sword.
What has happened is that well-meaning but ignorant wicked men have corrupted the Gospel to fit their flawed thinking. Since they know that requiring someone to stop living in sin would be WORKS, they subtly changed it instead to “be willing” to turn from your sins to get to Heaven. In their feeble minds, they cannot understand how a man can come to Christ and continue committing murder, stealing, adultery and other horrible sins. But dear friend, that is exactly what we all do! King David was a murderer and adulterer in the Old Testament. Ananias and Sapphira were dirty thieves, whom God killed for their crimes.
We're all guilty sinners. No one has ever turned from their sins. NO ONE! You may clean up your life, like prettying up a pig, but a pig is still a pig. You may become a born-again child of God, but you are still a dirty sinner, and so am I. Getting saved does NOT eliminate the old nature (the sinful flesh). Getting saved adds the new nature (the blessed Holy Spirit). If we desire to live righteously, then we can only Walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25), allowing Jesus to live the Christian life through us (Galatians 2:20). But do you see dear friend that it is God's righteousness and power that lives through you, and not YOU yourself turning from your sinful behavior to be saved?
These ungodly Bible corrupting pastors (like the PCC cult) who pervert God's simple plan of salvation, demanding that you be willing to turn from your sinful bad habits to be saved, are trying to force YOU to reform as a prerequisite to saving faith, which cannot produce the new birth. Only resting completely in what Christ has done for you through Calvary's cross, can produce the new birth by the Holy Spirit of God. I am not going to do like PCC and pervert God's simple plan of salvation in an attempt to force you to forsake your sinful ways.
You can trust Christ with all of your might and do your best to turn from you sins and still end up in the lake of fire. That is shocking! You can do your best to trust that Jesus died for you, that He rose from the dead, and try your best to live a good, holy life and “still” end up dying in your sins because you have not placed your trust “alone” (apart from turning from your sins) in what He did for you. The sad thing about adding “self efforts” such as turning from your sins to Christ’s plan of “trust only” is that, while it sounds right, it sounds good, and it feels right, it is not the gospel message that Christ has so plainly given to us in His bible. Jesus said in John 3:16 that “whosoever believeth in Him” would be saved. He did not say “whosoever believeth” and turn from your sins. He did not say believe and be willing to turn from your sins. He did not say believe and follow Him in obedience “in order to” have everlasting life, nor did He ever imply such things when He spoke of salvation.” —Michael P. Bowen, “I NEVER KNEW YOU,” pp. 81-82 (ORDER HARD COPIES to share with friends and loved ones)
That is great truth! The grass is always greener over the septic tank. PCC has thousands of churchgoers fooled today, who aren't paying close enough attention to what is going on at PCC, not paying attention to their doctrine. Jon has it exactly right...
“It truly makes me sad that this place has the word 'Christian' in it's name, as most of the staff and faculty are the furthest thing from Christ as you can get.” —PCC Alumni Jon EhnisIf your church supports PCC, shame on you! Today's Baptist churches are infested with carnal believers, and worse, unsaved infidels. Sadly, 99% of people just don't care about right doctrine. They care about being happy. They care about money. They care about having fun at church activities. Tragically, the accuracy of the Gospel isn't important to them, so they go along with anything that their pastor tells them, unquestioningly. No wonder Jesus said in Luke 13:24b, “many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.”
