Get God's Free Gift Of Eternal Life: The Counterfeit Gospel Of Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

The Counterfeit Gospel Of Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

I was heartbroken to hear Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr. of the First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland, preach damnable heresy. The following sermon is titled: “EVANGELISM,” which was preached on November 18, 2018. At point # 3 in his sermon (17:19 time in video), Pastor Jenkins corrupts the Gospel, adding works...

“Believe and repent. Those two things actually go together. You've got to be willing to turn away from the way you've been living your life. You've gotta make those two things go together to regenerate you.” [emphasis added] —Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr., 18:00 minutes time in video

That is NOT the Gospel taught in 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. That is not the answer Paul and Silas gave the Philippian Roman jailer in Acts 16:30-31. Paul and Silas simply told the man to “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.” No requirement was stipulated that he forsake his sinful ways to be saved. The vast majority of today's pastors are accursed liars!

The damnable heresy Pastor which Pastor John K. Jenkins preaches is not the answer Jesus gave in John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Pastor Jenkins is preaching a counterfeit plan of salvation that cannot produce the new birth. Here is the full sermon if you want to watch it.

“But hold up, it doesn't only mean “I'm sorry,” but repentance also means also: “To make a change.” That's point two. Somebody say, 'Make a change.' You've got to make a change. Tell your neighbour, 'Make a change.' You gotta change your attitude. You gotta change your posture. You gotta change your position, your belief, your situation. It means change. And by the way, repentance is not a one-time thing. Repentance is a lifestyle. As soon as as read something; as soon as God speaks to me; as soon as I get an understanding of His Word—God is calling me to live a lifestyle of change.

Kindly but truthfully said, Pastor Jenkins is an ignorant fool regarding God's simple plan of salvation. Not one passages in the inspired King James Bible supports the damnable heresy that Pastor Jenkins is preaching to tens of thousands of his victims...

“But hold up, it doesn't only mean 'I'm sorry,' but repentance also means: “To make a change.” That's point two. Somebody say: 'Make a change!' You've got to make a change. Tell your neighbour: 'Make a change!' You gotta change your attitude. You gotta change your posture. You gotta change your position, your belief, your situation. It means change. And by the way, repentance is not a one-time thing. Repentance is a lifestyle. As soon as I read something; as soon as God speaks to me; as soon as I get an understanding of His Word—God is calling me to live a lifestyle of change.”

BLASPHEMY! Pastor Jenkins further digs his own grave theologically by saying (and remember that he is requiring all of this to get to Heaven)...

“Now let me tell you, when you want to make a change there's three key areas that you need to make a change in. Here's number one...

You have to make a change in your VALUES.

You have to make a change in your LIFESTYLE.

You have to make a change in your RELATIONSHIPS.

Damnable Heresy Preached By Pastor John K. Jenkins
at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland

Dear reader, this is a very complicated FALSE plan of salvation. What Dr. John K. Jenkins is teaching tens of thousands of people DOES NOT match what Jesus taught in the inspired Scripture. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” How does Pastor Jenkins' toxic plan of salvation compare to the simple teaching of Christ in John 6:47 that we are saved simply by BELIEVING ON HIM?

In sharp contrast, Pastor Jenkins foolishly teaches that you must change your values, lifestyle and relationships to be saved. What poppycock, balderdash and tomfoolery! Biblically, the Greek noun for “repent” is metanoia which means: “a change of mind.” The Greek verb is metanoeo which means: “to think differently.” Nowhere does the inspired Holy Bible's use of the word “repent” in regard to salvation mean to change your values, lifestyle and relationships. Wicked men have redefined biblical terms to pervert the Gospel of free grace.

According to Pastor Jenkins Sr., repentance means “I'm sorry.” Sorrow is an emotion, not the change of mind from unbelief to belief which God requires to be saved. Judas Iscariot felt sorry, so much so that he even returned the 30 pieces of silver to the wicked Pharisees. Matthew 27:3 tells us that Judas repented. That is, Judas was sorry for betraying an innocent man to death, but this is not repentance unto life (salvation). Judas had no faith in Jesus as the Christ. Sadly, Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr. got royally messed up theologically when he flew to Chicago to earn his doctorate's degree in Bible theology. They screwed up his thinking!

I have an old Gospel tract titled, “God's Way Of Salvation,” authored in the 1920's by Evangelist Alexander Marshall (1846-1928). The original Gospel tract that I have set before me is nearly a century old. It is a little 31-page booklet, which could easily fit into a man's shirt pocket, and it's as thin as a dime. This excellent Gospel tract was originally published by Moody Press in Chicago, back when Moody Bible Institute and Moody Church could be trusted doctrinally.

As I read Alexander Marshall's excellent tract, “God's Way Of Salvation,” I was so impressed that out of curiosity I went online to search for it. I was particularly impressed Marshall taught the Biblical truth that “repentance” is: 'A CHANGE OF MIND.' The tract today is published by Bible Truth Publishers, who sell the tract. To my dismay, someone very deceitfully and deliberately changed Marshall's tract to leave out the truth about repentance. The Bible Truth Publishers' website has converted Brother Marshall's printed Gospel tract into audio format (35 separate tracts). Between tract 24 (“Can A Man Be Saved At Once?”) and track 25 (“I Cannot Love God”), they intentionally removed the section titled, “I Have Not Repented Enough.” You can listen on their website to tracts 24 and 25, which are word-for-word what I have in front of me from the original tract.

However, I am now going to type out the missing portion from Alexander Marshall's Gospel tract, which someone shadily removed. Little things are important, and this little omission speaks volumes against the corrupter. I am going to quote the missing portion of the tract exactly as it is printed—italics, quotation marks and all...

“I HAVE NOT REPENTED ENOUGH”

What do you mean? “I am not sorry enough for my sins.”

And if you were very sorry, would God be more willing to save you than He is now? “I think so.”

Then you are completely mistaken.

“But does it not say, unless we repent we shall perish?”

Yes; but what do you think is the Scriptural significance of “repentance”? If you say “sorrow for sin” you are wrong. It does not mean sorrow for sin: it means a CHANGE OF MIND (Matt. 21:29). This change will doubtless produce sorrow; but sorrow and repentance are two very different things (Heb. 12:17. margin, and II Cor. 7:9). When God calls on you to “repent, and believe the Gospel,” He wishes you to lay aside your wrong thoughts, and believe the glad tidings that He proclaims to you. Formerly you may have imagined that you were required to feel very sorry before being saved. Change your mind. You may have supposed you must first “feel” some great change in order to know you were saved. Change your mind. First believe in God's great love to you, as revealed in His gospel, and you will KNOW that you have eternal life (John 5:24).

Yes, that is excellent. Alexander Marshall is 100% correct! Yet, some unlearned and/or heretical person wickedly changed his tract, completely removing the preceding section on repentance from the work. Marshall plainly says that sinners are saved by BELIEVING THE GOSPEL, that is, he says, “to lay aside your wrong thoughts [Repentance], and believe the glad tidings [Gospel] that He proclaims to you.” That is biblical repentance to be saved.

One of my favorite free grace preachers, Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951), wrote these prolific words of truth...

"Repentance is the very opposite of meritorious experience. It is the confession that one is utterly without merit, and if he is ever saved at all it can only be through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, 'who gave himself a ransom for all.' Here is firm footing for the soul who realizes that all self-effort is but sinking sand. Christ alone is the Rock of our salvation."

SOURCE: Pastor Harry A. Ironside, from his book: 'Except Ye Repent,' p. 36

Clearly, Ironside taught a Free Grace view of the Gospel. Pastor Ironside further states...

“The Gospel is not a call to repentance, or to amendment of our ways, to make restitution for past sins, or to promise to do better in the future. These things are proper in their place, but they do not constitute the Gospel; for the Gospel is not good advice to be obeyed, it is good news to be believed. Do not make the mistake then of thinking that the Gospel is a call to duty or a call to reformation, a call to better your condition, to behave yourself in a more perfect way than you have been doing in the past …

Nor is the Gospel a demand that you give up the world, that you give up your sins, that you break off bad habits, and try to cultivate good ones. You may do all these things, and yet never believe the Gospel and consequently never be saved at all.”

SOURCE: Pastor Harry A. Ironside, from his tract: 'What Is The Gospel?'

If you will simply by faith (taking God at His recorded Word), accept Christ's sacrificial death on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that Jesus was buried but then physically resurrected from the dead three days later, then you will be instantly, irrevocably and permanently saved (i.e., born again, redeemed). This is 'THE GOSPEL' (1st Corinthians 15:1-6), by which all who BELIEVE IT are saved (1st Thessalonians 4:14; Romans 1:16). You have God's PROMISE of eternal life, IF you believe (Titus 1:2). God promises to “SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE” (1st Corinthians 1:21b). What an awesome God, Creator and Savior!!!

We're Saved By God's Righteousness, Not Ours

Before salvation we are known by our sins, but after salvation we are identified with the righteousness of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ took all our sin at the cross and now we have the privilege to have His righteous record placed on our account by childlike faith!

Repentance unto salvation is turning to Jesus, not turning from sins.

Inspiring Preacher Quotes

“The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.” —Evangelist Billy Sunday (1862-1935)

“The only thing you contribute to salvation is the sin that made it necessary.” —Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995)

“I never thought, I'd see a day when Baptist preachers would not preach the true Gospel. Tonight, all across this nation, Baptist preachers have succumbed to the heresy of John MacArthur. I said the heresy of John MacArthur! I said the heresy of John MacArthur! And somebody that's got several thousand people to hear 'em, who can go across this country, has got to alert Baptists that we have false teachers in our midst who are no longer teaching and preaching salvation by grace through faith plus nothing. Folks, we're fighting for our lives tonight!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "A Vote For Preaching"

“The ‘whosoever wills’ are the elect and the ‘whosoever won’ts,’ the non-elect.” —Pastor Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899)

“Salvation is one thing and service is another, and never the two goes together. No man is saved because he serves, and no man has to serve because he is saved. Gotta keep them separate. And if you don't do it, the Scriptures will be confusing to you. You'll not rightly divide what God has to say.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, "Why Lordship Salvation Is Wrong"

“It is 'Good News' if no one must have good works before salvation, or after salvation. For salvation to truly be by grace, it must not have any stipulations of any kind at any time. Works before, during or after; works cannot be evidence of my salvation.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, "Does Calvinism Change The Gospel?"

"The LAW and the GOSPEL are two keys—the law is the key that shuteth up all men under condemnation, and the Gospel is the key which opens the door and lets them out. Remember this, if you're depending upon your own good works to get you to Heaven, you're lost! Your salvation had to be purchased with something that was incorruptible, with the precious blood of Jesus Christ!” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold, Bibleline Radio Show, "The Precious Blood Of Christ"

“Works cannot be the evidence of salvation. If works are required as evidence, then they will prove that you are not saved. Your good works cannot prove you're saved; they can only prove that you're not, if you go by works. Why? Because you have to be perfect. So your works can only prove you're not saved. You have to live a perfect life. 'Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.' You have to fulfill everything that is commanded, that you have to do them. You know that good works did not save you!” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, "Once Saved Always Saved: The Final Word"

“If all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, then why would you use those rags to prove that you're saved?” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold, sermon quote: "How Do I Know God Really Loves Me? - Part 2"

“The mistake the church has made, is we have taught people how to quote Scriptures, we haven't taught people how to love people!” —Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr. (a beautiful quote from the sermon titled: "Developing A Process of Evangelism To Reach The Lost With The Gospel"

“May I ask you, reader, 'Are you a soulwinner?' Remember that a soulwinner is a salvager—one who leads a sinner to choose Christ and one who leads a saint to choose the will of God, the work of God and the plan of God.” ―Pastor Jack Hyles, "What Is Salvation?"

“Redemption is a work of God the Son. Regeneration is the work of God the Holy Spirit. Justification is the work of God the Father as He declares the sinner righteous in the Son. Conversion then becomes the work of the church as we change the use and purpose of a life.” ―Pastor Jack Hyles, "Conversion And Salvation" (chapter 3) from his book: "Salvation Is More Than Being Saved"

“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.” —Evangelist John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“I'm as happy as a June Bug on the 31st of May!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "The Rapture Comes Before Armageddon"

“Many people are finding the broad way, because they listen to the wrong message. There is few that find the truth. And what's the difference between true Christianity, and all the religions of the world? If it's by Christ alone, it's GRACE. If you have anything to do with it, it's WORKS. And God says, 'For by Grace (Christ) are ye saved, and that not of yourselves (that would be works), it is the gift of God (not of works), lest any man should boast. So any person who depends upon themselves, can always lose their salvation. Check it out! Anybody who teaches you can lose it, it's because their salvation depends upon their works. That's them! That's works! If I depend upon Him, that's grace! I'm saved by grace, Christ. You don't earn it! You don't work for it. 'For by grace are ye saved through faith, that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.' Salvation is the gift of God!” —Pastor Ralph "Yankee" Arnold, a quote from the sermon titled: "The Damnable Doctrine Of The Devil"

“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"

“America needs preaching!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "Many Pastors Have Destroyed My Vineyard"

“Let God have your life; He can do more with it than you can.” —Dwight L. Moody

"Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.” —Pastor Max Younce

God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved, He will only save those who are trusting to be saved.

“The darker the night the brighter the stars.” —Pastor Bob Gray Sr.,“She Sojourned Seven Years”

Without Christ you have a hopeless end; with Christ you have an endless hope (Titus 1:2).

The false teaching of "Lordship Salvation" is not the SAME as "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:30-31).

Religion is man trying to reach God through human effort, but Christianity is God trying to reach man by the sacrifice of His only begotten Son on the cross.

“Now you listen to me folks! We're living in a world of compromising Christianity. I call it, 'The yuppie generation building yuppie churches!' Brother, we need the old-time Gospel, the old-time religion, the faith of our fathers, and the standards that America used to have!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a quote from the sermon, “She Sojourned Seven Years”

“Every word in this Bible is inspired by God almighty!” —Dr. Jack Hyles, a quote from the sermon, “A Friend At Midnight”

“A man doesn't get better to get saved; he gets saved to get better.” —Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995), “Salvation Crystal Clear”

“The greatest enemy you have is a church that doesn't teach the Bible!” —Pastor Max D. Younce, “#1 Salvation THROUGH The Blood”

“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”

“If you're not being persecuted, you're not living right!” —Pastor Danny Castle, “How To Behave In Perilous Times”

“You know what you need to do with your life? You need to get on the ball and take as many people out of here to Heaven with you as you can possibly round up. That's what you need to do.” —Pastor Danny Castle, “How To Behave In Perilous Times”

“God had no children too weak, but a great many too strong to make use of.” —Pastor Dwight L. Moody (1836-1899)

“More people will die and burn in Hell, because they're trusting too much!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a precious quote from the MP3 sermon, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

“Everything that's hard and complicated about salvation is God's side of it!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a precious quote from the MP3 sermon, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.

Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty!

“See, when you trusted Christ, He delivered you from the PENALTY [of sin]. You never have to pay for it again. Now that you are saved, He wants to save you from the very POWER of sin in your life. And then one day, He's going to deliver us from the very PRESENCE of sin.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, “Sanctification Explained”

“We ought to realize our standing with God as sons and daughters. He will not "un-child" His children. God has not only adopted us, but we are His by birth; we have been born into His kingdom. The children of God are not perfect, but we are perfectly His children.” —Pastor Dwight L. Moody

Bible repentance is a change of mind from denying THE TRUTH “to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will” (2nd Timothy 2:25-26).

“Faith without works is DEAD FAITH; and works without faith is DEAD WORKS.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Repentance And Faith”

“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)
