Beware Of Gospel Corrupters

Galatians 2:1-5, “Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.”

Just like the corrupt Hebrew Roots Movement today, who subtly try to spy out our liberty in Christ and bring us again under the bondage of the law, so also did a group of false brethren. The Apostle Paul said they were brought in unawares. This seems to be a commonplace thing today, where assistant pastors and elders in the church turn out to deny the Trinity (Godhead), deny Jesus' bodily resurrection, or don't believe that Hell is a literal place with fire. You'd be surprised who you will find leading churches today! 

I am disgusted every time I think about the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, with their dozens of Bible versions circulating in the congregation, and their damnable false gospel of Lordship Salvation. The church started in 1975, and was okay when they started, but they Pastor Marty Herron came in 1999 with his Lordship Salvation, unawares to the congregation, which destroyed the church spiritually! Today, Harvest along with Bob Jones University is a hotbed of heresy and deceit. I heard Dr. Herron say with my own two ears, at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam in 2014, that it is not enough to admit you are a sinner to be saved. He said in addition, “You must turn away from a lifestyle of sin!” That is another gospel which cannot produce the new birth in Christ! Pastor Herron made that heretical statement on a Sunday morning during the invitation. You can hear him in this 2020 sermon clip made at the Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, teaching that a person must “repent of your sin” to be saved. Pastor Herron preaches a counterfeit gospel! There is no such teaching in the Bible! I am not trying to be unkind, but false prophets who damn men's souls to Hell with a false gospel must be exposed by name!

Tragically, Lordship Salvation aligns with Mormon theology and that of Seventh-Day Adventist prophetess' Ellen G. White. I'm not kidding! If you check online, you will find that Roman Catholics also teach that a person must repent of their sins to be saved, meaning, you must forsake them! That is not the Bible meaning of repentance! I've done the research for you, but I encourage you to do your own study if you are not convinced. Ladies and gentleman, we ought not tolerate these heretics for even one hour Paul said!!! The reason why is because if we do, in time the Gospel of free grace will be muddied and lost in the assortment of unbiblical mumbo-jumbo taught by neo-evangelicals today! There is no need to guess, wonder or debate the Gospel, the Scriptures are adamantly clear on it!

I have suffered much loneliness since 2014, victimized by the hateful selfish pastors of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, who play God with people's lives. What did I do wrong? Nothing. I did something right! I told THE TRUTH! I loved them enough to buy a bunch of books teaching the truth that Lordship Salvation is a counterfeit plan of salvation. I gave the pastors hard copies of Michael. P. Bowen's book, “I Never Knew You” (an awesome book defending the Gospel of free grace). I also gave them hard copies of Pastor Al Lacy's excellent book, “NIV: The Antichrist's Bible!” I cared enough about the truth to try to help those misled neo-evangelical pastors. Instead of thanking me, they berated me, counting me as their enemy (Galatians 4:16), because they are stiffnecked and wicked in their hearts (they are Joe Hanson, Jared Baldwin and Marty Herron). My crime was being a fundamentalist Bible-believing Christian! They actually called Pastor Jack Hyles a cult. No dear reader, Harvest's pastors (old and new, including Dr. Gary Walton since 2018) are a part of the Alexandrian cult, of which Bob Jones University has sadly become the headquarters. They are all pulling on the same rope as the Devil.

Christ died on the cross for our sins. he was buried. Three days later He physically resurrected from the dead to justify our faith (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). Galatians 1:11-12, “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” The Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation is rooted in the teachings of John Calvin (1509-1564). Calvin's heresies are commonly called “CALVINISM,” none of which are Biblical. Satan is clever, determined and is a master of deceit! Lordship Salvation sounds goods. If I haven't made it clear, Lordship Salvation is the teaching that a person cannot simply place their faith in Jesus Christ to be saved. In addition, proponents of this heresy claim that a person must also turn away from their old sinful ways, and make full surrender of their life to Jesus as absolute “Lord.” That may sound great, religious and sensible, but it is totally unbiblical.

I have heard many internet trolls downplay the issue, like it doesn't really matter what someone believes, just so long as you commit your life to Jesus. Nothing could be further from the truth. In Matthew 7:21-23 we find a very dedicated group of people, who called Jesus “LORD, LORD,” but they were not saved at all. They had spent their life doing “many wonderful works” in Jesus' name. They were committed to Christ. They had surrendered all to Jesus, and done their very best to turn away from their sinful ways. Yet, the Lord said these horrifying words: “I never knew you: depart from me all, ye that work iniquity!” You see, they had done everything else except get born again! They added a bunch of junk to faith that God didn't require, and in so doing they muddied the gospel, so that it because obscured and useless to help them. Very few people are saved nowadays because of all the junk theology infecting our churches. I used this illustration from Matthew 7:21-23, because it clearly shows that you can serve Christ with a sincere heart, and do much good throughout your lifetime to help others, and yet still end up in Hell someday without Christ.

Right doctrine matters! There are not two gospels (Galatians 1:6-7), and thus is exactly what the fight is over between me and the Bob Jones University crowd on Guam. They think you must repent of your sins, being willing to forsake and stop doing them in order to be saved. That is reformation, not repentance, and it a very false gospel. 

Our churches, Bible colleges, missionaries and rescue missions are absolutely infected with this deadly virus. Lordship Salvation is a pandemic folks, a thousand times more contagious and deadly than the dreaded Cornelius. Whereas the Coronavirus will eat your lungs, Lordship Salvation will devour your soul and send you to the Lake of Fire forever and ever!!! I love this great quote from write and Gospel preacher, John Bunyan (1628-1688)...

“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.” [emphasis added] —Evangelist John Bunyan

That is what Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Chip Ingram, Sam Horn, John Piper, Kirk Cameron, Marty Herron, Steve Pettit, Ray Comfort, John MacArthur, Bob Jones University, Moody Bible Institute, Pacific Garden Mission (Unshackled), Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, Paul Washer, Beth Moore, Charles Stanley, Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, John Hagee, and so many other damnable heretics are doing today... CORRUPTING THE WORD OF GOD, AND CASTING STUMBLING BLOCKS BEFORE THE PEOPLE!!!
