Ephesians 4:30-32, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby
ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from
you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven
you.”
Matthew 6:15, “But
if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.“
 I
need to explain some history first, so you will understand. I moved
from the island of Guam (where I had lived for 17 years) in July of
2021 to Pensacola, Florida. While on Guam, I attended the Harvest
Baptist Church for the year of 2013-2014. For the first few months I
was numb from my broken life and inexplicable emotional trauma in my
life after my former wife divorced me in 2006, and the mayhem that
followed in the years afterward. But as Samson's hair began to grow
and his strength return, I began to regain my courage as a preacher
at Harvest Baptist Church. I learned firsthand at Harvest that the
Bob Jones University cult there preach the Devil's lies of Lordship
Salvation, teach a false meaning of repentance and use the Devil's
corrupt bibles.
On one particular Sunday, Harvest's senior pastor Marty Herron gave
an invitation at the end of his sermon, saying verbatim: “It is not
enough to admit that you are a sinner to get to Heaven, you must
also turn away from a lifestyle of sinning.” I was sickened in my
soul to hear such heresy being taught to hundreds of people present
in church that Sunday morning. I went home and literally cried many
tears, asking God if I should go back to Harvest or not, since they
were a cult. I felt that God wanted me to try to help them, so I
did. I took hundreds of dollars of my own money and bought
hardcopies of a few books (authored by faithful men of God) and gave
them to the pastors. Those books were:
The response from Harvest's wicked pastors were to scold me
officially in the church office, which compelled
me to leave their theological cult. But I was so lonely in the
years to follow, having lost my church family. I missed them all so
much, and all the friends I had made, and the woman I had fallen in
love with and wanted to marry. I begged three times in 2017 if
Harvest's pastors (Marty Herron, Joe Hansen and Jared Baldwin) would
please forgive me, and just allow me to attend their church. I gave
them my solemn promise that I would remove all my criticisms against
their church from social media, to the best of my human ability, and
regardless of what happened in the future I would never criticize
them or Harvest again on social media. They
unanimously cold-heartedly refused. Marty Herron in particular,
since he was the senior pastor and ringleader of their cult,
adamantly refused, telling me verbatim to “Go elsewhere.” I was
devastated emotionally, again, feeling their hatred and rejection.
The Holy Spirit comforted me with this Old Testament Bible passage,
reminding me that my great Savior was also despised and rejected of
men for telling THE TRUTH:
Isaiah 53:3, “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”
I am guilty of one thing: TELLING THE TRUTH!!!
In hindsight it is obvious that I never should have tried to go back
to that cesspool of iniquity at the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam.
After my fallout with Harvest's ungodly pastors, some of my friends
at the church (Doug and Karen Abels, Dave and Amy Morgan, my
neighbours Carl and Peggy and their four children) also left the
church. Harvest was a sinking ship!!! For seven lonely years (from
late 2014 to 2021) I had no church family because of Marty Herron's
wickedness, for which I plead with God to hold him fully
accountable.
In July of 2021 I moved away from Guam, broken in soul and body,
frustrated and tired. When I arrived in Pensacola on July 2nd, I
chose to attend Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC),
not realizing what I was getting into. I learned very quickly that
PCC is in league, spiritually fornicating with Harvest Baptist
Church on Guam and Bob Jones University (BJU). I was again sickened.
If you search on Google for “Harvest Baptist Church, KHMG radio,”
you'll see that Jeff Redlin's name appears on Harvest's church
website. Harvest plays Redlin's sermons on their radio station. In
2014, I had prayed together at Harvest with the man who operated the
KHMG radio station on Guam at the time (which is broadcast
throughout Micronesia, corrupting the islands). When I started
attending Campus Church in 2021, I met that same man, who had moved
back to the United States, and was now running the radio station at
PCC. And that man's son is now on Guam, running Harvest's KHMG radio
station. What a small world it is!
Pensacola Christian College Wickedly Bids Godspeed To Unsaved Bob
Jones University Calvinists
My point ladies and gentlemen is that PCC is in bed with Harvest Baptist Church (which is a cesspool of BJU and PCC graduates). Marty Herron quit as the longtime senior pastor of Harvest in 2018, escaping on a golden parachute, now destroying young people's lives as the vice president of Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa. That college has a devil working for them! They are all buddies (the PCC and BJU camps), milking the money-tree together, joined at the hip as spiritually deformed conjoined twins.
After a couple weeks of attending Campus Church, one of my enemies
made sure to slander me to Campus Church. I couldn't figure out why
Pastor Redlin had ignored my kind emails to him for 10 days. I found
out later that he and the other pastors of Campus Church, became
offended when they discovered my website ministry. In his own cruel
words, Jeff Redlin falsely accused me of “finding weaknesses in
preachers,” when in reality I am preaching against WICKEDNESS in
preachers!!!
What the former shameful pastor of Harvest (Marty Herron) preaches
(Lordship Salvation and giving up your sinful behavior to be saved)
is a false gospel. It is not a weakness, but gross theological
incompetence and demonic wickedness!!! Marty Herron is an infidel,
not a born-again believer. You cannot get saved by partial faith in
Christ plus trying to keep the law (Romans 3:19-20). You don't have
to give up your willful sinning to be saved (Romans 6:1). Correct
Bible doctrine teaches that God saves you by faith alone (Romans
4:5), and then He indwells you with His Holy Spirit, who convicts
and works to change your life (1st Peter 2:2; 2nd Peter 3:18; Romans
12:1-2). Growing in grace (sanctification) has nothing to do with
getting saved (the legal matter of justification). I think Pilgrim's
Progress author John Bunyan said it best:
That beautiful quote (which is 100% Biblical) refutes the false idea
that a person must repent “of your sin” to be saved, or the Devil's
lie of Lordship Salvation which says that more than faith is
necessary to be born-again. All of these foolish unsaved preachers
today (e.g., Ray Comfort, Paul Washer, John MacArthur, Adrian
Rogers, R.C. Sproul, Marty Herron, Steve Pettit, Sam Horn, Chip
Ingram and Chuck Phelps), who are teaching that you must forsake
sinful behavior to receive God's free gift of eternal life, are
corrupting THE TRUTH of the Gospel. Jesus Christ came into the world
to die on the cross to pay for our sins, not demand that we try to
clean up our lives to do our part to be saved.
Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for
the guilty!
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put
to your account through receiving Him by faith.
Turning away from sinful ways would be a work. Faith puts all of
the merit where it belongs, on the object of our faith, Jesus
and His work.
If to “repent” means to forsake our sinful ways TO BE SAVED, but
Jesus already paid for our sins by dying on the cross, then what
are we repenting from?
The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel
always points to YOU.
What PCC is doing is wicked, by sinfully bidding Godspeed to the
Harvest Baptist Church on Guam and Bob Jones University. Harvest
has deceitfully tried to hide what they believe, by removing
their Statement of Faith from their website; however, one need
only listen to their KHMG 88.1 FM radio station to hear Dr.
Steve Pettit (executive president of Bob Jones University
and an unsaved heretic) preaching Lordship Salvation (i.e.,
Calvinism). Harvest is awash with dozens of corrupt modern Bible
versions. Their new pastor, Gary Walton, is an incompetent and
wicked as his predecessor, still upholding the cult at BJU and
fully supporting Steve Pettit's damnable counterfeit plan of
salvation. 2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed
is partaker of his evil deeds.”
I have mixed feeling in my heart about Pensacola Christian
College. They are mostly correct on the Gospel, but have a false
teaching on repentance. According to their official Foundation's
Class, and I quote verbatim: “Repentance is a change of mind
resulting in a change of behavior.” This is dangerous doctrine,
because it gives the false impression that if your behavior
hasn't change, you didn't really get saved (and that's along
the same damnable doctrine being preaching by the Bob Jones
crowd today, just not as drastic). BJU requires that you
turn away from your intentional sinning to be saved, which is a
false gospel. PCC falsely teaches that if you have genuinely
repented at the time of salvation, your behavior will change
afterwards. Either way, works are being associated with God's
free gift of eternal life.
It is so sad what is happening to today's churches, which is the
direct result of being trained by incompetent Bible colleges.
God knows that I love everybody at Campus Church and PCC, and I
miss them much. I went through the same heartache with the
corrupt Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. And now, here again, I
am going through the same ordeal with Pensacola Christian
College and their church family. Honestly, I think they should
rename their “Campus Church” to “Campus Chapel,” because that is
really what it is, a place for their thousands of PCC students
to meet three times a week. No true New Testament “church” would
refuse to permit a broken-hearted man (me), who has poured out
my heart pleading to come back to church. It just proves that
everything I have preached against them on social media is true,
that they are a bunch of academic types who woefully lack God's
compassion for people.
PCC Camp Refuses To Reconcile With Me, Cannot Attend Campus
Church
Having said all that, in frustration I left Campus Church in September of 2021. I took my opinions to social media, openly and harshly criticizing Pastor Jeff Redlin and his sidekick associate Timothy Zacharias. I exposed Campus Church and Pensacola Christian College, for their illicit relationship with BJU and the corrupt Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. The PCC camp is really upset with me, as you can imagine.
I am torn between my lonely personal life, needing a church family
to love and be loved; versus my being faithful as a fundamentalist
Baptist preacher to stand for THE TRUTH. As most of you know, my
former wife divorced me against my will in 2006. I have lived alone
ever since, which often causes depression and sadness. I go to sleep
alone, I wake up alone. I talk to myself all throughout the day,
because I need to talk to someone, and God is always there to listen
to me. Being lonely is a type prison. Yet, what does Marty
Herron care, he has a wife? What does Jeff Redlin care, he has a
wife? And yet these selfish wicked men berate me as a divorced man,
and do everything they can to hinder me from finding a wife. If it
weren't for Marty Herron's hatred, false gospel and wicked heart, I
would have married the woman I loved at Harvest, who also liked me,
but Herron coerced her to diss me (and she did).
When I first started attending Campus Church in July of 2021, I
wrote a very sincere email to Pastor Redlin, explaining my pain of
soul and body, my loneliness as a divorced man for 15 years, and my
hope to find a wife at Campus Church. In his shallow selfishness,
cruelty and self-righteous attitude, Pastor Redlin replied by
scolding me for coming to church to find a wife. I was cut to the
heart! I rebuked him back that he would ASS-U-ME that was the only
reason I wanted to attend Campus Church. He put words in my mouth
that I never said. I simply shared my heart with him, as a friend,
thinking that perhaps since it is such a big church that I might
meet someone. I pray to God that Mr. Redlin could know what
loneliness feels like, but he has no idea. I know what it means to
suffer. I do not hate Pastor Redlin, but he is not right with God,
and sadly doesn't want to be either.
In the last letter sent on July 21, 2022, I provided my email
address, my mobile phone number and my mailing address, but I
haven't heard anything from anyone at PCC. It is sad. They are in
bed spiritually with the Bob Jones University cult, and in so doing
have made themselves partakers of their evil deeds (the damnable
falsehoods of Lordship Salvation, Devil's bibles and misunderstood
repentance). RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!! I am the only one who is
TELLING THE TRUTH, and taking a faithful Biblical stand against the
false plan of salvation being preached today by John MacArthur and
Steve Pettit (and by extension the ungodly Harvest Baptist Church on
Guam).
When I attended the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam in 2018 for
several months, Sean Quinlan (an incompetent PCC intern pastor),
rebuked me harshly when he overheard me tell a church member that:
“Bob Jones University promotes corruptible seed” (fake bibles). I
initially apologized to him for offending him, but he kept running
his big mouth, accusing
me of having no class and usurping his authority as the church
pastor. The guy freaked out! I added my comment that the Harvest
Baptist Church on Guam is preaching Calvinism. Quinlan snapped back,
saying: “Harvest is our sister
church!” Oh my God, “sister
church”?
I was utterly sickened by what he had just uttered out of his potty
mouth.
Sadly, Sean Quinlan and the
entire PCC camp are committing spiritual adultery with the Bob Jones
University camp. In case you missed it, please
read the damnable heresy being preached at BJU today!!! (here is
a backup
article, just in case). Folks, I am not the bad man here!!! I am
obeying Titus 1:9-14:
The deadly theological garbage that Steve
Pettit and his followers (Marty Herron, Gary Walton, Chuck Phelps,
et cetera) are preaching, turns men away from THE TRUTH. I cannot
recommend enough that you please read Michael P. Bowen's beautiful
book: “I
Never Knew You” (free
online .pdf version), which is a brilliant defense of the free grace
Gospel (hard copies are available on Amazon.com, which make great
gifts for loved ones or people you want to share the Gospel with in
a discreet manner).
Our churches and Bible
colleges are in big trouble today dear reader, because no one is
standing anymore against false doctrine. It is for faithfully
contending for the faith (Jude 1:3), that the BJU camp at the
Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, and their butt-buddies in the PCC
camp here in Florida, have all despised and rejected me, so that I
am not even allowed to attend their weekly church services. Don't
anyone dare tell me that America is not going to Hell. Today's
pastors have blood-soaked hands!!!
I was feeling bad over the past several about the whole matter,
regretting that I burned my bridges to attend Campus Church, by
criticizing the PCC camp on social media. I don't regret the truths
I have preached, I just regret that I burned my bridge to attend
Campus Church, and to fellowship with the handful of friends that I
made last summer. So on June 17, 2022 I wrote a sincere letter and
mailed it to Pastor Jeff Redlin. He totally ignored me. So one month
later I mailed two more, but separate letters, one to all the
pastors of Campus Church and one to Pensacola Christian College
(PCC). Sadly, they have totally ignored me again.
In the last letter I apologized for offending them. I pleaded for
their forgiveness. I made a promise to them all, that if they would
simply allow me to attend Campus Church, I would never
criticize Campus Church or PCC on social media ever again. And I
also offered to do whatever they require to make peace with them,
including apologizing in front of Campus Church if they desired.
Evidently they do not value me enough as a human being to even reply
to my three heartfelt letters sent through the U.S. Postal Service.
The ball is in their court. I have done what I can to make peace
with the PCC camp, but they refuse. What saith the Scripture? Matthew
6:15, “But
if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.“
I have done what the Bible teaches, I have gone to my Christian
brother to seek to be reconciled, but Jeff Redlin has cold-heartedly
refused:
I do have ought against Pastor Redlin now, because he refuses to
reconcile. So the Bible teaches from this point on that God will not
accept Jeff Redlin's sacrifice or worship, until he first repents
(changes his mind) and is willing to reconcile with his brother. My
offer still stands, as long as I live in the city of Pensacola, to
do my best to remove all my criticisms on social media against
Campus Church and PCC, and never criticize the PCC camp again, if
they'll just allow me to attend Campus Church, so I can be a part of
their church family. I think I have an excellent spirit in this
matter. What is wrong with the PCC camp? I challenge you Jeff
Redlin, to show forth the great heart of God's love, and forgive me
for offending you.
