God's Curse Is On The Bob Jones University Camp

Galatians 1:6-9, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”

God's curse is upon Bob Jones University, and their graduates who have not separated from associating with BJU today. In numerous ways BJU has succumbed to apostasy. First and foremost, the college has succumbed to the evils of Lordship Salvation. 

What is Lordship Salvation? It is the heretical theological teaching that childlike faith (reliance) upon the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus' death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection is not enough to be saved. In addition, proponents of Lordship Salvation say that a person must repent of all their sins (to turn away from them), and have a sincere desire not to continue living in a lifestyle of sin. Lordship Salvation requires not only trusting Jesus as one's personal Savior, but also receiving Him as one's “Lord (Master), so that you surrender all to Christ and will follow Him from now on, wherever He leads you, and whatever He wants you to do. As you can see, Lordship Salvation is something completely different than simple childlike faith.

As our text Scripture passage says, God's curse is upon anyone who perverts the Gospel of free grace. ...


Sadly, BJU for many years has perverted the Gospel, by ADDING an unbiblical requirement to TURN FROM SINS. No where in the King James Bible are we taught to repent of sins, or turn away from our sins, to be saved. The Gospel of John simply says to “BELIEVE on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John 11:25, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” The word repent is not mentioned even one time throughout the Gospel of John. 

The Gospel of John is God's Gospel tract according to 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.” That means we could eliminate the other 65 books of the Bible, and still be able to find how to have eternal life, just from the Gospel of John. That is why John was written—to convince the reader that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and to persuade the reader to believe on Jesus to be saved.

Evangelist Steve Pettit is a damnable false prophet, who has been the shameful Executive President of Bob Jones College since 2014. Read what Dr. Pettit teaches...
“For the real reality of the genuineness of your faith is that you are faithful to run the race!” —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 22:44)
According to Mr. Pettit, you are not really saved if you're not living a sanctified life. Read this heretical quote by Steve Pettit...
“You can't just speak about getting saved, and you accepted Christ, and then that's it! There is a justification; There is a sanctification; There's ultimately a glorification, and though there are three parts, they are all part of the whole, and you cannot separate them. In order for you to qualify for the award, you have to get into the race, you have to stay in the race, and you have to finish the race. If you want to win, you have to run to the end; and winning in the Christian life is everything, because if you lose—if you don't finish—you lose everything—you lose your SOUL. And so, the Christian race is the life of faith that begins, is run, and is finished when we cross over into Heaven!” [emphasis added] —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 11:34)
Steve Pettit is ADDING to the Gospel, teaching that you have to MAINTAIN your state of salvation by living a certain way. He plainly preaches that if you don't finish the race, you lose everything, including your soul. Pettit clearly says that he thinks the reward we get for faithfully running and finishing the race is heaven itself. If that be true, that we are required to run and finish a race, then salvation is indeed a REWARD, and cannot be a free GIFT. ...
“We run the race, we cross the finish line, and so what’s the prize? What is the award? Well, there are different viewpoints. Some would have the viewpoint that the awards are crowns in Heaven. But as I read the book of Hebrews and see the whole gist of the book and the flow of the book, I don’t believe its referring to crowns in Heaven. I think it is referring to Heaven itself.” [emphasis added] —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 22:57)
BLASPHEMY!!! I am shell-shocked in disbelief that Harvest Baptist Church on Guam openly bids Godspeed to BJU and Steve Pettit still today. What will it take before professed Christians say, “ENOUGH!” How much does the Gospel have to be corrupted before BJU's alumni decide to break off association with the college?

Sadly, Steve Pettit's buddy, and former pastor of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, Marty Herron, is now the Executive Vice President of Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Cemetery in Iowa. Dr. Herron also teaches that you must turn from a lifestyle of sin to be saved, which I heard him teach with my own two ears at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam in 2014. I went home and cried, realizing that Satan was infiltrating a local church. In 2017 Pastor Herron called me the church's “enemy,” but I assure you with all Biblical authority (Romans 3:4) that it is Marty Herron who is the church's injurious enemy, and not me. I am the only one telling THE TRUTH, and am hated for it, just as was the Apostle Paul. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”

Please notice that Paul only wanted to know one thing in 1st Corinthians 2:2, “For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” Paul didn't ask them if they had turned from their sins. In fact, the church at Corinth was full of sin. Paul didn't ask them if they spoke in tongues. Paul didn't ask them if they had repented. Paul didn't ask them if they were spiritual. Paul didn't ask them anything except JESUS CHRIST, AND HIM CRUCIFIED!!! Do you believe that Jesus is the risen Christ, Who died on the cross in your place, to pay for your sins? Anyone who receives Christ's sacrifice on the cross, as payment for their sins, is saved (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). That is all Paul wanted to know.

I found this Greensboro, South Carolina, news article about a threatening letter that BJU's administration sent to one of their graduates, who after pastoring a church for decades came out to the world that he is a homosexual. BJU's letter expressed open disdain for his lifestyle, threatening him that he would be arrested if he ever stepped foot on BJU's campus again. Perhaps BJU should send a letter to itself, expressing dire concern over the apostate direction of the college since Dr. Bob Jones Sr. went to Heaven in 1968. Dr. Jones NEVER would have allowed Lordship Salvation to be taught at the college. In fact, Dr. Jones said if he could, in 50 years he'd come back to blow the college to smithereens, if they ever allowed an infidel like Dr. Steve Pettit to rob the saints of their faith. It is truly sad that BJU has moved away from the hope of the Gospel.

This is so sad and tragic, to see this kind of junk theology being taught at Bob Jones University today. My God, what has happened to BJU? Ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when you dip your sails. Kindly, that is why I criticize the First Baptist Church of Hammond (FBCH) so much for changing their position on the inspiration of the King James Bible. Since 2008 the church has denied the inspiration of the King James Bible, falsely claiming that ONLY the “original autographs” were inspired (which we no longer have). 

That was BJU's downfall! The next thing you know, they start tolerating the Devil's modern Alexandrian Bible revisions. John Wesley (1703-1791) was absolutely right: “What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace!” Mark my words: Hyles-Anderson College will go down the same apostate spiral as Bob Jones University has! It is inevitable once change starts. Change itself is the enemy! Pastor Bob Gray Sr. wonderfully explains this truth in his classic sermon titled: 'TRUTH VERSUS CHANGE!'


Both Sides May Be Wrong, But Everyone Cannot Be Right

President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) wisely said:
“In great contests [battles], each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God—both may be, but one must be, wrong—God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time!” —President Abraham Lincoln
I fully realize that the big issue today is over disagreement on WHAT IS the Gospel? WHAT IS Bible repentance for salvation? Pastor John MacArthur is at the heart of the issue, since he is an honored former BJU student. Dr. Pettit is personal friends with Mr. MacArthur, congratulating and bidding Godspeed to MacArthur's heretical 'Grace To You' ministry and church in California. Dr. MacArthur's net worth is over $14,000,000. Here's something John MacArthur doesn't want you to readNothing has destroyed the credibility of churches today as has money-hungry Bible colleges, pastors getting paid 6-digit salaries, and the never-ending begging for more money from churches. Christianity began as a new birth in the Bible. When it went to Greece, it became a philosophy. When it went to Rome, it became an organization. When it spread throughout Europe, it became a culture. And sadly, when Christianity came to America, it became a business!

Folks, either John MacArthur is right on salvation, or the Bible is right, but it cannot be both. Mr. MacArthur errantly preaches that salvation is an exchange, a trade, for all that you are for all that Christ is. That sounds good and theological, but it is totally unbiblical. Salvation is you doing NOTHING, and Jesus doing EVERYTHING! That is why the Bible calls it a “GIFT from God. Receiving eternal life cannot be an exchange, because then payment would be involved, and it would actually COST you somethingSadly, John MacArthur even uses the word “COST”...
Don’t believe anyone who says it’s easy to become a Christian. Salvation for sinners cost God His own Son; it cost God’s Son His life, and it’ll cost you the same thing...” [emphasis added] —Dr. John MacArthur, Grace To You, an updated quote from his book 'Hard To Believe', page 93.
No, that is WRONG! Getting saved won't cost you anything! It cost Jesus! MacArthur is right that salvation cost God His only begotten Son. And he is right that it cost Jesus His life. But salvation DOESN'T cost you or me anything, because Jesus Himself became the payment on the cross for our sins. Jesus shed His precious blood. 1st Peter 1:18-19, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” 1st Corinthians 6:20, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” Dear friend—YOU WERE BOUGHT! The price for your purchase was Jesus! 

All this nonsense about salvation costing someone, and of it being an exchange, a trade, is of the Devil. There is no such language used in the inspired King James Bible. Jesus paid it all! RUN, and I mean RUN AWAY as fast as you can, from Steve Pettit, Marty Herron, John MacArthur, Sam Horn, Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, Billy Graham, Unshackled, and anyone who says that eternal life will COST YOU!!! God's curse is on the Bob Jones University camp. Moody Radio in Chicago promotes Ray Comfort and John MacArthur, bidding Godspeed to these damnable false teachers! 2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

God dedicated an entire book of the Bible to teach us how to have eternal life—the Gospel of John. God dedicated an entire book of the Bible to warn us about false teachers who pervert the Gospel by requiring MORE than simple childlike faith—the Epistle of Galatians. God dedicated an entire book of the Bible to help believers know that we are saved—the Epistle of 1st John. If we rightly divide the Word of God, then there is no controversy. Lordship Salvation is not found in the Bible. 

I love everyone with God's unconditional love. I truly do. I am not out to get anyone. I am a grateful born-again Christian, since age 13, who is faithfully contending for the faith (Jude 1:3). By God's grace, I'll turn 54 years old on March 5th, 2021. Where have the years gone? If I'm going to find a wife, I had better hurry up, because there ain't much time left, God willing. My heart breaks to see that another gospel has crept into Bob Jones University, since from the days when Dr. Bob Jones Sr. was still in charge. It breaks my heart to see that another gospel has crept into Moody Bible Institute, since from the days when Pastor Harry A. Ironside was in charge. There is only ONE GOSPEL.

There is only ONE BIBLE. The never ending rash of so-called “new” and “improved” Bible versions is the reason why Lordship Salvation has crept into the churches, because that is what the new versions teach! The translators are following social and theological agendas instead of THE TRUTH. Wicked men are changing the Holy Bible. Sadly, Bob Jones and Moody have bit hook, line and sinker into the Devil's Bibles. Anybody with an ounce of spiritual discernment, who loves Jesus Christ and has some honest integrity, must acknowledge that Satan is behind the modern Bible-corrupting movement! 

I am speaking THE TRUTH in love (Ephesians 4:15). The Bible says that LOVE rejoices in the truth (1st Corinthians 13:6). I humbly wish more people would listen. I am just a broken and redeemed sinner. I love Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, who whether they like it or not have been my family since 2014. They are the only church family I have right now, even though they continue to ostracize and avoid me. A hurting dog barks! The Gospel is not a trifle matter. The Gospel is so important that Paul said God's curse is upon anyone, whether he be man or angel, who changes and perverts it!

I don't know what is going on with Google. But first, I love Blogspot and highly recommend it to everyone who loves to write. I am very impressed with their software. Having said that, I am very dissatisfied with their search engine, because many of my articles don't appear. For example: Go type “John MacArthur another gospel” on Google, and then on Bing. What a difference! My article came up first on Bing, but not on the first few pages of Google. On page four one of my articles appeared. I am likely the biggest opponent that Dr. MacArthur has! Still, I am grateful for whatever exposure the truth gets. I just want to be helpful. I have never made a penny and never will. I do what I do for the Lord's sake, the truth, and you dear reader.
