Paul Washer is a Delusional, Convoluted Calvinist: Beware!
Paul Washer Preaching Repentance, Hell, and Sin? WHY Bother?!
How Very Absurd for Calvinists like Paul Washer, Tim Conway, John MacArthur, John Piper, Vodie Baucham, Etc. to preach these things! How Very Absurd!
Trio of Calvinist Frauds
Wolves in sheep’s clothing like John MacArthur, Vodie Baucham, and Paul Washer, etc. preach repentance and yet these frauds are all calvinists and so they believe that no one can make the free will choice to obey Jesus’ command to repent. To call this convoluted delusionment would be an understatement. Run from these calvinist warlocks! | Calvinism is Heresy
Calvinists are snakes. They hide this evil, demonic system of beliefs just like Satan attempted to hide his identity when he entered the pristine, sinless Garden, infiltrating, to deceive the man and woman. His first lie was the OSAS/ES/perseverance of the saints lie which led to the fall of mankind and is still leading to the damnation of millions (Gen 2:17; 3:4).
Beware. Personally, I do not collude with and find common ground with calvinists. Calvisnism is “another gospel” and those preaching it are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Vodie Baucham and Paul Washer are calvinist snakes. These wolves can scream all they want as they seek to be profound in their staged speech. I don’t buy it. They are both convoluted heretics. Finding reasons to fellowship with a calvinist is no different than seeking to have communion with catholics. In fact. John Calvin admittedly got his heretical doctrines from a catholic named Augustine. | The Historical Roots of Calvinism
Paul Washer is a calvinist which makes him a false teacher. Calvinists believe the heresy of “perseverance of the saints” and you wonder why they don’t fear the LORD? Why he doesn’t preach in the fear of the LORD? Calvinisms “perseverance of the saints” heresy is paramount to the eternal security/once saved always saved lie from hell.
Is it warranted to call out Paul Washer? This is a warranted warning (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4, etc.). Paul Washer is a typical calvinist snake who hides behind a few truths and then poisons the baited victims later. Speaking of doctrine, Paul warns: “A LITTLE leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” (Galatians 5:9)
Paul told us that any man or even an angel from Heaven (not hell) “preach ANY other gospel”, such a person is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Calvinism is clearly another gospel, a false gospel.
WHEN you hear someone use the terminology “sovereign grace” you know you are dealing with a deceived calvinist who has bought into a false gospel that intentionally over-emphasizes grace while ignoring divine holiness and justice and the God-given conditions for abiding in Christ. Cross-less. Rebuke and run if they don’t repent – which they most likely won’t because they are intoxicated with this delusion. Calvinism is a system, a set of doctrines of devils that grossly misrepresents Christ and His original Gospel!
Calvinism and the Devils who Peddle it Busted!
Calvinism is an extra-biblical system of theology which blatantly contradicts clear, known Scripture. 1 John 2:2 alone exposes calvinism as a doctrinal system of devils.
1 John 2:2 alone disproves the whole grace-perverting extra-biblical system of calvinism. “THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.”
Much of that which is called “the deeper life” is laced with calvinistic poison and not truly centered on Christ at all. It refuses His call, His mandate for the crucified life Jesus and replaces it with sin-justifying heresy – the 5 points of calvinism. Beware!
Beware that people like John MacArthur, Arthur Pink, and Charles Spurgeon are calvinists. Though they may have some good quotes, their doctrinal pond is poisonous.
Personally, I stay away from the “revivalist” and church history and stick with the Scriptures which are pure (Proverbs 30:5-6). | Church History or the Scriptures?
When a preacher has to always be yelling, does that raise a red flag? What’s hiding?
We should be careful who we quote. If we bid Godspeed to a heretic, using one of his GOOD quotes, we’re still pointing people to that man (2 John 9-10). Example: Personally, you will never see a Paul Washer or Charles Spurgeon quote on my page, even though they both have/had made true statements. WHY you ask? Simple, Washer and Spurgeon are calvinists and calvinism is an extra-biblical system of heresy that grossly perverts the character and original Gospel of the LORD.

Yes well as we peer into the demonic doctrines of calvinism it becomes obvious as to the arrogance.
This email message (below) makes me think of how people like Paul Washer (a vile calvinist) sensationalize being a “radical” follower of Jesus. Makes me wonder if Satan’s plan in this type preaching isn’t to separate people from God through these type ministries that seem to complicate and sensationalize the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus, living humbly while denying self daily and following Jesus (Luke 9:23-24). I wonder if the effect of this type glorification of becoming a “radical” doesn’t have the opposite effect of what it seems on the surface to be aimed at. This below came in my email today. Please pray for this dear lady named Ana.
“To begin with, I was born again about 10 years ago but most of that time I’ve been severely depressed to the point of losing all hope in this life. Basically many of my spiritual struggles stemmed from an inaccurate view of God that I developed by reading all kinds of very radical books and sermons which made me afraid of God and biblical Christianity. I have some better days but I still struggle with a lot of things and I wish I could be like others, just fully trusting and following the Lord with an open heart.”
— WHY would any calvinist (like Washer) bother street preaching or doing any ministry since in their demented view, God sovereignly elects some to eternal life and some to damnation without the personal will of the individual, forcing them to be His whether they like it or not? The Idiocy of Calvinism
Paul Washer seeks to hide his calvinistic heresies. He refuses to come out and admit that he espouses this diabolical system of theology. He will not come out and admit it when asked which adds to the concern. Washer is deceitfully hiding the fact that he embraces these diabolical beliefs.
Calvinism is doctrine and the image of Satan, not God. God is love and so loved the whole world that He gave Himself on that cross …. Jesus told us before He went to that cross that when He did He would “draw all men” to Himself (John 12:32). WHY O WHY would Jesus tell us He was going to “draw all men” if His intention wasn’t to save all men? (John 12:32; 1 Timothy 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9) God’s Word informs us that Jesus Christ is “the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for the sins of WHOLE world.” (1 John 2:2) It’s time to repent of this damning system of heresies before it’s too late. All who teach calvinism are hell bound false teachers without exception.
Calvinists are Snakes
Works-Based Salvation, Dramatizing Story Teller Paul Washer Exposed Also as a Vile Calvinist
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
Every false leader has his own unique niche gig to build his constituency – his following. Beguilers use the phenomenon of the cult of personality to gain and build their following. There seems to be contrived emotional fakery and theatrics added to Paul Washer’s preaching, preying upon those who long for the truth. Yet, such a lack of truth speakers in this late hour does nothing to justify using this vacuum to exploit others with human drama, antics, and effects to capture the affections of their hearts while robbing Christ of this glory (Colossians 2:6-10, 18-19). Anti means in place of and any human leader who puts himself in place of Christ by not elevating Christ alone, is an “antichrist.” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4; Colossians 2:4-10, 18-19; 1 John 2:18; 4:1-6) Some are claiming that Paul Washer has been elevated as a type of pope among reformed theology adherents and evangelical circles.
Mike Manners writes:
“These Paul Washer fans are seeking to establish their own Righteousness through their human works. Lordship Salvationists require people to forsake their sinful lifestyle to be saved. Jesus never asked us to give up anything to be saved—He simply told us to BELIEVE. Jesus proclaimed in John 11:25, ‘I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.’ Salvation is a FREE GIFT as Romans 5:15 states, paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. ‘Repentance’ in the Bible simply means ‘a change of mind.’ The changed life comes later, as we grow in the Lord (1st Peter 2:2). A changed life is the result, or fruit, of genuine repentance, and not repentance itself. We don’t go to Heaven because of what we are doing, but because of where we are looking to…JESUS!”
Perhaps something in us wants to feel like we ourselves are meriting or helping in the LORD saving us. This is part of the fallen nature which must be denied, crucified. Scripture states:
“Now to him that worketh (tries to earn salvation) is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:4-5
What does any mere man or men have that isn’t in Scripture or is above Holy Scripture? Zilch.
Paul Washer has an agenda of his own and this is clear for at least two reasons:
- He is a calvinist which means he operates by an un-biblical, anti-biblical system of theology, and,
- Washer goes on and on and on without Scripture.
When a man preaches what seems to be very good doctrine and yet seldom reads a lot of Scripture compared to his own words, that man believes his own words are more powerful and more important than the LORD’s.
“Speak with my words unto them.” Ezekiel 3:4
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God.” 1 Peter 4:11
IT’S pure idolatry that people will listen to Paul Washer for an hour or more and yet won’t read God’s Word for themselves for an hour. Wow! Then they will attack the messengers who are bringing this to the light. Jesus warns us to “repent” before it’s too late. He’s calling His true Bride to relinquish all human idols of the heart and to set their affections upon Him alone:
“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5
Those who are impressed with mere men either 1) do not know the Almighty LORD and Savior, OR 2) are very immature spiritually.
To the astute Bible student who puts no one before Christ and the final authority of His Word, Washer should be easily detected by his imposter spirit and false doctrine (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 John 4:1-6). Something in us should have been alarmed from the onset of watching Washer.
If you are upset because your favorite calvinist preacher is being examined, you do not understand the Word of God nor do you comprehend the Christ-denying, diabolical perversion of calvinism and perhaps have no clue as to how important pure doctrine is to the LORD. Any leader who believes and peddles the demonic doctrines of calvinism is a dangerous man at best and should be avoided and marked, no matter how much truth he does preach. There’s deadly poison in the pond. In the depths of his heart, the calvinist is the very enemy of the cross of Christ, willingly deceived, and a mocking betrayer of the Almighty. Most who buy into the OSAS and calvinistic cancer are simply those who refuse to die to self and so migrate to this sin-justifying system of theology, concocted by men and devils, that dismisses them from all personal responsibility to die to self (Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20; 5:24, etc.). Such a system of lies makes God out to be the very author of sin (James 1:13-15). Sound Doctrine for a Glorious Church
As you will see below, to escape the scourge of being named a calvinist, Paul Washer cleverly calls himself a “5-Point Spurgeonist” which means calvinist without attaching the label of “calvinist” to himself. Charles Spurgeon, called by some “the prince of preachers,” was a calvinist. This alone tells us that God has nothing to do with Spurgeon being called “the prince of preachers.” To true Bible believers, the apostle Paul is perhaps the princely preacher. In other words, if any mere man were to merit such a title, it would be one of Christ’s divinely authenticated apostles.
Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints is a divine mandate – especially against those who are turning the saving grace of God into a license for sin and that’s exactly what the heresies of calvinism do (Jude 3-4). Paul says that “a little leaveneth the whole lump” and so while Spurgeon taught some biblical truth, he poisoned the pond with calvinism’s cancerous doctrine of devils. Here’s the roots of calvinism, rooted in catholicism. Calvinism by Ken Rieske
Paul Washer and the Pope Connection Exposed! | Paul Washer is in League with Known Heretic John MacArthur – 2 Pawns in a Pod!
Remember, those who believe and teach “another gospel,” which is anything other than the original Gospel, are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) So, on this divine authority – that of the very Word of God – we can soundly know that those who teach Satan’s system of theology (such as calvinism and eternal security) are not Christians but rather evil and stealthy imposters (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). Beware because some of those who are exposing Paul Washer are still deceived into thinking that salvation cannot be forfeited. OSAS/Eternal Security Busted
Any and all men who teach calvinism and/or OSAS (once saved always saved) are teaching “another gospel” and are false teachers and “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) And, we are commanded to “earnestly contend” against these “ungodly men” who are through their teachings “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” which is a license to sin (Jude 3-4)
It does not matter one single iota that calvinists will swear up and down that they are not justifying sin or sinful living. Remember, these, like their father, are silver tongued deceiving devils and their false teachings are leading people into sinful “lasciviousness” (license to sin) just as Jude warns us of and just as Satan tricked the man and woman into in the Garden (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
Be not deceived: Paul Washer sounds convinced of what he is preaching and yet that is completely separate from whether or not what he is preaching is true or false. It’s sad that so many who hear preachers who sound like they know what they’re talking about, buy into their teachings instead of studying the Bible God gave them for themselves!
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12
Those who do not love the truth are given by God Himself a “strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) That is, they will believe a lie as strongly as truth-loving authentic saints of Christ believe and embrace the truth. There are imposters among us saints – those posing as Christ’s ministers who are actually agents of Satan himself.
“But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-15
Who else could be a more sinister beguiler and tool of Satan himself other than a person who preaches mostly truth? Yet, a gallon of pure fresh water with just one tiny, invisible drop of arsenic will still kill you door nail dead, right?
“A little leaven (false teaching) leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” Galatians 5:9
God forbid that we be so gullible as to make a heart idol out of any mere sinful man, in this case such as Paul Washer (Ezekiel 14:3). Isn’t this exactly what a third of the angels in Heaven did to Lucifer before they were all vanquished irrevocably from the presence of the Almighty? (Luke 10:19) Obviously those third of the angels Satan deceived were convinced he was telling them the truth, right? They were dead wrong and so are we if we trust any mere man and do not diligently and daily study God’s Word and compare what mere men are preaching to the whole counsel of God’s written Word (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2;15; 3:16-17, etc.).
Paul Washer preaching repentance, sin, and hell? Why?
For the record and with concern for Christ’s body … Paul Washer is a rank calvinist and just a little doctrinal leaven leavens the WHOLE lump. The doctrines of calvinisms are much more than just “a little leaven.” (Galatians 5:9) In the demented theology of calvinism, only those God had respect to – the special elect – should even bother repenting, trusting Christ, and dying to self and walking with Jesus because all others were created by God to just be hurt, damned, and forsaken. That’s the false god of calvinism and Washer.
“There is NO respect of persons with God.” Romans 2:11
And yet, if people get to listening to him and then get sucked in to his false and poisonous calvinism, they could be forever lost …. also, if we think about it, why repent unless you are one of the chosen elect? why bother? after all, according to the diabolical calvinism that washer has deliberately chosen to buy into and preach, man has no choice in the matter….. do you see how ludicrous and hypocritcal it is for a calvinist to preach repentance from sin?
Factor in the diabolical, ludicrous teachings of Calvinism and think about how ridiculous it is for clowns like Washer and John MacArthur, John Piper, Tony Evans, R.C. Sproul, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Billy Graham to teach on sin, repentance, hell, etc. Were we not solemnly warned about and commanded to “earnestly contend” against these “ungodly” men who have “crept in unawares?”
THE VERY false “doctrines of grace” Paul Washer espouses as a calvinist are the very reason for the collapse of the American church. Quite ridiculous.
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares (undetected), who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:3-4 (KJV)
Here’s a video link … this says it all for me …. Washer goes on and on and on with very little Scripture, philosophying about things like the typical calvinist who is living a fairytale lie that will ultimately end in destruction … watch this foolishness. This video really shows what underlies Washer’s worldview and false theology as it does so many who hold influence in this late hour. It is more than obvious that Paul Washer’s theology is based on Calvinisms diabolical lies.
In this brief video below, Paul Washer admits he’s a calvinist by saying he is a “5-point Spurgeonist.” In other words, he knows Charles Spurgeon is popular among evangelicals and so attempts to piggyback on Spurgeon’s reputation. Apparently, true disciples of Christ are not a bit impressed with Spurgeon or any mere sinful man. They get their beliefs/doctrine straight from God’s written Word and say with Paul, “Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) In this piece we see Washer whitewashing calvinism as a legitimate system of theology. Lie. That’s a diabolical lie. As you will hear, Washer tells his audience that the lies of “calvinism is not the issue.” It sure is the issue with the Almighty who is “the truth” and whose “word is truth.” (John 14:6; 17:17) Calvinism makes God out to be a grand liar and an initiator and enabler of sin. In this video below, we also see Paul Washer speaking of the issue being regeneration and not calvinism and yet he conveniently leaves out the fact that calvinists believe that regeneration happens without the individuals free will or permission and BEFORE that individual even chooses to believe. Supposedly, in their mythical, wishful thinking fairy tale theology, calvinists believe that God chooses to come upon a special few elite persons and regenerates them without their will that He gave them to choose (Joshua 24:15; Deuteronomy 30:19). Washer perhaps deceitfully raises his voice to further be convincing – to seduce his audience into the bizarre teachings of reformed theology/calvinism.
No matter what else good Washer states, it doesn’t undo his false beliefs – He’s a calvinist which contaminates his whole body of truth (Galatians 5:9).
PAUL WASHER the POPE OF CALVINISM!!!
Jonathan Hoegle writes:
“I watched the video. Paul Washer describes how mankind is radically depraved and hates God, therefore it is only because of God that anyone is saved. According to him it is like we are all programmed to hate God and there is nothing we can …do about it, excepts hope that God calls our lottery number to salvation. If we do not have free will then our love or hate for God is an illusion because we didn’t make any decisions. Only moral free agents can love or hate, in Paul Washer worldview God is the Devil. It seems counter intuitive to preach at all if there is nothing we can do to help humanity get saved.”
“Thank you for exposing the likes of Paul Washer. He needs to repent and turn to the Christ of the Bible. Right now he is a poster child for the false doctrine of total depravity. He is leading many to the gates of hell.” Jeff Flaig
Paul Washer is an example of a very confused individual and convoluted theology. He preaches on giving up all, repenting, and suffering, etc., and yet, Washer is a rank calvinist which by definition means that there is no need to obey Jesus’ commands to give up all, repent, or suffer since it’s all be predetermined and man has not choice anyway – he is forced to love, worship, and serve the LORD due to a supposed divine predetermination.
If you wish to hear some hard, Bible truth, perhaps you may wish to tune in to people who honestly endeavor to speak the full-counsel of God’s Word. Find those who aren’t preach Calvinistic poison that robs the fear of God from your heart, makes you lukewarm and at ease in Zion, and ready for hell. Here are some recommended sources:
- Leonard Ravenhill (various places on the net have his sermons)
All of these men use the Authorized Version / King James Bible. All men should. Please pray for those who don’t yet see the purity of God’s preserved Word and the poison of the new versions.
Paul Washer is a rank calvinist which means all else he says would be vain to listen to because just “a little leaven leavens the WHOLE lump.”
A man (beginning with this fool – me) who does not know God’s Word thoroughly, has no business leading others because as we see in this case, they are leading many astray (2 Peter 3:17). They may be sincere to some degree, yet they are sincerely wrong. These men are intentionally ignoring large parts of God’s Holy Word due to holding to a tradition which is a heresy (Mark. 7:6-10, 13).
Some recently have put together video preaching mixes with Leonard Ravenhill, David Wilkenson, and also Paul Washer and Tim Conway. Those are misguided souls and that’s a deadly mixture. Beware.
Conway and Washer are false teachers. So many who are searching for divine truth have bought the package.
When we truly repent of our idolatry of mere men, we will see all men for who they (we) are even in our “best state … altogether vanity.” (Ps 39:4-5)
Washer’s calvinism is the little leaven that leavens the whole lump of his teachings. To teach hard like he does and then be a calvinist is an utter contradiction. With the calvinistic fatalism, why does ANYthing matter ……. When a person understands first what Holy Scripture clearly states and also the blatant contradictions of calvinism, he will then see why Paul Washer’s teachings are completely contradictory. he tries to cover things up by teaching that “calvinism is not the issue” when it really is – it is the poison.
Feedback:
While I was doing my research I found this youtube video by Paul Washer from Heart Cry Missionary Society who is also an ardent Amillennialist (A Roman Catholic doctrine) and dabbler in Contemplative Spirituality. Paul Washer asserts that an 18th month old baby is totally and utterly evil. How Paul Washer can make such a statement is beyond reason. I suppose when you are Divinely Chosen you can say the most ludicrous things. This is a very shocking video. John Calvin’s reign of terror:
- He had Servetus burned at the stake on October 27, 1553,
- Gentile beheaded in 1566,
- 34 women burned at the stake after accusing them of being witches who caused a plague that had swept through Geneva in 1545,
- “Freckles” Dunant dies under torture in February 1545 without admitting to the crime of spreading the plague,
- Several men and women are apprehended including a barber and a hospital supervisor who had “made a pact with the devil.” in 1545,
- 2 women executed by burning at the stake for sorcery by spreading the plague in March 7, 1545,
- Belot (an Anabaptist) chained and tortured – against infant baptism in 1545,
- 7 men executed concerning the plague outbreak in May 16, 1545,
- a child was whipped publicly for calling his mother a thief,
- a girl who struck her parents was beheaded,
- Jacques Gruet accused of writing a poster against Calvin, was arrested, tortured then executed in July 1546,
- and the list goes on, his victims ranging in age from 16-80.
If John Calvin was Elect, then so was Hitler! 58 murders is as good as 6 million.
Calvinism is a doctrine of devils, “another gospel” and those who peddle it are “accursed” and it doesn’t matter how Christian are sincere or well meaning they may appear (Galatians 1:6-9).
Satan will give people a million pounds of truth to kill them with that one ounce of poison. But calvinism has ample amounts of poison and no one who holds Scripture as final authority could possibly buy into it. “A little leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” (Galatians 5:9) Here is a library of posts exposing the roots and false doctrines of calvinism. Calvinism
Please share as many are taken in by this man and have elevated him above Christ / the very Word of God which is final authority
The words “sovereign grace” never appear in Scripture, neither does the fabricated concept invented by satanically-inspired calvinists. Yes God is sovereign and He sovereignly gave man free will. He forces no one to serve Him (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15).

“I am convinced that many evangelicals are not truly and soundly converted. Among the evangelicals it is entirely possible to come into membership, to ooze in by osmosis, to leak through the cells of the church and never know what it means to be born of the Spirit and washed in the blood. A great deal that passes for the deeper life is nothing more or less than basic Christianity. There is nothing deeper about it, and it is where we should have been from the start. We should have been happy, joyous, victorious Christians walking in the Holy Spirit and not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh. Instead we have been chasing each other around the perpetual mountain.
What we need is what the old Methodists called a sound conversion. There is a difference between conversion and a sound conversion. People who have never been soundly converted do not have the Spirit to enlighten them. When they read the Sermon on the Mount or the teaching passages of the epistles that tell them how to live or the doctrinal passages that tell how they can live, they are unaffected. The Spirit who wrote them is not witnessing in their hearts because they have not been born of the Spirit. That often happens.”

The Truth about Tradition and Church Membership [podcast]
Is Church Membership Biblical?
Godly and Ungodly Tradition and True and False Church Membership
YOU KNOW you are in a fake church when they have “membership classes” to get you to join yet spend little or no time preaching the Word on the necessity of repentance, forsaking your life in this world, denying self, taking up the cross, and following Jesus daily! Run!
Membership means money to them!
They have a busine$$ plan.
“Prove (test) all things; hold fast (keep and do) that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21
Of the 13 times we find the word “tradition(s)” in Scripture, only twice is it used positively. The other 11 times it is used negatively because men put their foolish traditions above Christ.
History of Church Membership: The history of church membership in Protestant and Evangelical churches begins with the Catholic Church, which implements its discipline over all the baptized (christened, water sprinkled), through a tradition-based sacramental system, governing the lives of their captors from cradle to grave. Essentially, in this way the Roman cult corrals and coerces the insistence of membership upon every initiated, water-sprinkled/christened catholic child. Without that cult-initiation rite, that membership to the Roman religion, that person is considered outside of salvation, outside of the “one true church.” Through church membership in the Catholic church, the completely un-biblical sacramental system is enforced. The Catholic sacramental system is the creation, the strategy of devils, designed to strengthen the piety of the Catholic faithful throughout their lives, guiding them safely into the bowels of eternal damnation. Jesus died and rose again that He alone might have preeminence over His true worldwide body. Church membership to a local church or church organization is perpetrated by cross-less wolves and is a direct affront to the Headship of the one, nail-scarred Savior (Colossians 1:18; 2:18-19, etc.).
The vast majority of so-called pastors today are more interested in getting you to join their church club, to become a member of their church, than they are about truly feeding the flock of God with the whole counsel of Scripture, equipping you for ministry, and winning souls to Jesus (John 21:15-17; Acts 20:20-32; Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.). Prove it wrong.
Church membership today is nothing more than a device of wolves to corral and exploit the people! There’s no biblical justification for it.
Church membership is a tool to run a scam on the people – to number them as Satan led David to do (1 Chronicles 21). The LORD judged David for doing this and is judging the wolves today who coercively promulgate their church membership scam. God’s people belong to HIM and no other (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 7:23, etc.).
Church membership is for nobody’s good except those peddling it. Church membership is designed to make you loyal to their church club, not Christ.
APPLE CARTS FLYING: THE TRADITION AND DECEPTION OF CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: BEWARE!
Can anyone find church membership in God’s Word among the earliest followers of Jesus? No. If someone is concerned about you becoming a member of their church, that’s a red flag. Make no mistake: They are corralling you in order to control you. Think about it: WHY can’t they just love you as a member of the one blood bought body of Christ? (Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4) Church membership as it’s done by the 501(C)(3) government churches is against Holy Scripture and is a device of evil men, wolves. Run.
Beware of the agenda saints. Church membership is a corralling of God’s people for the self-serving purposes of hirelings.
“Church membership” as it’s carried out in the modern church world, quenches the Holy Spirit in my opinion. It ruins the organic, spontaneous, pure fellowship true believers enjoy due to being in Christ. Church membership seems to be a learned device to coral believers in order to exploit them. Think about it: Seminarian pastors are taught this scheme to build their church busine$$.
Denominations or church organizations reinforce this to secure people and funds. It’s a business model. No such thing as church membership in the Bible except that membership Christ alone procured by His own blood. ALL of His saints’ names are written in Heaven (Luke 10:20). Jesus says that this is what we rejoice in!
“Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:20
We are Christ’s kingdom disciples. We belong to HIM.
“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23
Local level “church membership” diverts the heart affections of those corralled by hireling wolves! Beware.
Only Abiding in the Truth Protects
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield (protection) unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6
Is church membership not adding to God’s Word?
God gave us His written Word so that we can be safeguarded from being misled. As we will see in a moment, the traditions of men have and will continue to lead many astray and into eternal damnation. Tradition is passed along from one religious, truth-despising generation to the next. Concerning rightly dividing the truth of God’s Word and how twisting Scripture transpires as a tradition and applies to interpretation of God’s Word, Charles Koller writes:
“There are pitfalls of interpretation into which devout believers may fall, resulting in distortions of the truth. A preacher may borrow an interpretation from a devout Bible scholar, who had previously borrowed it from another equally devout but perhaps misguided Bible scholar. And so the inventions of devout men may unwittingly be passed around as ‘the Word of God.’ Let the Bible speak for itself! What does it actually say? And what does it mean?” Charles W. Koller, How to Preach without Notes, p.65
“Tradition(s)” as it Appears in Scripture:
Matthew 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the TRADITION of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your TRADITION?
Matthew 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your TRADITION.
Mark 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the TRADITION of the elders.
Mark 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the TRADITION of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the TRADITION of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own TRADITION.
Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Galatians 1:14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the TRADITIONS of my fathers.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
2 Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the TRADITION which he received of us.
1 Peter 1:18 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;
Did you notice that in 2 Thessalonians 2:15, Christ’s apostle Paul says we are to “hold the traditions WHICH YE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT, whether by word, or our epistle.” The roman catholic cult deceitfully seeks to justify the use of its myriad of Bible-contradicting traditions using this verse. Yet read the words of this verse and carefully note that Paul taught these “traditions” and so they came from God who sanctioned the apostle to pen Holy Scripture (2 Peter 1:19-21). “Traditions” that glorify God are found in God’s Word, not in the writings of some religion of mere sinful men that diametrically contradicts what we read in Holy Scripture. Also, these “traditions” that we received from Paul are tangibly recorded in an “epistle.” The saints at the city of Thessalonica were receiving this divinely-inspired, written letter or “epistle.” This later became part of Holy Writ for all New Testament Scriptures and one of the books of the New Testament canon. What New Testament disciples “have been taught” is now canonized in the 27 books of the New Testament canon of Holy Scripture and is final authority for the faith and practice of all narrow way believers (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.).
Testing and Discerning what is True Tradition and What is False
All who cling to their religion and/or religious tradition in lieu of Christ and His Word, are as sure for hell as if they were already there (Mark 7:6-9).
We are warned in Colossians 2:8 to “Beware” of false “tradition” which leads us away from the pure worship of “Christ.”
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8
Many times people in local “churches” are seen or heard saying “That’s just how we do things around here!” Well, if what you do around you stupid “ministry” is not according to God’s Word, it’s time to repent and change it. Now!
Testing the Concept and Practice of Modern Church Membership
No such thing as church membership in the early church. Totally false.
Church membership is a tool of controlling leaders to corral souls for their own self-serving purposes! Beware! (Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23) They discount your place in Christ by telling you that membership is important in the church business they are building to their own glory.
JESUS came to make captives free. SATAN’s agents seek to put you in bondage! (Luke 4:18; John 10:10; Galatians 5:1)
—- MOST “good church members” are lost due to following a pastor and program instead of truly following Christ on HIS terms. See Mark 8:34-38 and Luke 9:23-24 and you will see why Jesus says only a “few” will be in Heaven Matt. 7:13-14. Your pastor is not your judge, God is and so you better please Him according to what He told you in His Word or you will be cast into the lake of fire as a disobedient, idolatrous rebel (Matthew 7:21; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4; Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:14-15, etc.).
Church membership as we know it today, is a tradition of mere sinful and self-serving men “whose god is their belly.” (Philippians 3:18-19)
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.).” Philippians 3:18-19
There is nothing found in Scripture that directly teaches people that they should “join a church.” So, did the Almighty, all-knowing God somehow forget to tell us something we needed to know, OR, has someone added something foreign to the practice of the Christian faith?
The Bible student must conclude that “joining a church” as we know it in this apostate age, is not by divine decree but is rather a tradition of sinful men and therefore a “false way” that we should “hate.” (Psalms 119:104, 128) So, church membership in an earthly organization is not a tradition any disciple of Christ should hold and should stay clear of such in order not to dilute his allegiance to the one and only “Head” of His true body, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:18; 2:18-19; Ephesians 5:23). This is after the workings of sinful men to secure the allegiance and loyalty of men’s hearts, intercepting the affections of their hearts from the “Head.” Was it not rebellious Absalom who “stole the hearts of the men of Israel”? (2 Samuel 15:6) Is this not the subversive, insidious “spirit of antichrist” at work today to rob God of the glory due to Christ’s holy name alone?
Did Jesus or any disciple in the New Testament Scriptures ever instruct anyone to “join a church” or become a good church member as we know these thing to be today in westernized “Christianity”?
Such a question poses a threat to some pastors who are far too possessive, un-submitted, and un-abandoned to Christ. Though not truly submitted to the LORD, which would mean they trusted Him in all things, many of these same leaders seek for coerce others to submit to them, to join their church, to support them, etc.
Posing such a question as this one on church membership, is an example of testing all things against the counsel of Scripture like good Bereans (Acts 17:11). Testing what is being accepted in a local gathering of saints can shake up a leader who is not truly broken before the LORD. Testing all things helps us rightly divide the word of truth and begin to examine what is truth and what is tradition in the things we do as His body and as individual saints. We must live and oversee only as our LORD has revealed in the divine wisdom of His Word and as He enables and leads – which will always be in accordance with His Word (Psalms 11:105; 2 Timothy 3:15-17, etc.).
Jesus says “follow me” and if one is going to know and follow Him, that person must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him “daily.” (Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24).
Church membership as we know it today in the modern church system, is clearly a tradition of mere men and not a part of true, New Testament Christianity. At this point, many will say: “But brother, the Bible says we are to fellowship!” Yes, true, but remember that church membership is completely unneeded for true Christian fellowship as defined in the New Testament Scriptures (Acts 2:42-47; Colossians 3:16-17, etc.). Yes, the Bible teaches us that Jesus’ true disciples are to fellowship with one another and modern church membership is completely unneeded for such unless you factor in the hirelings who perpetrate such for their own personal purposes. In fact, self-serving ambition is the root of most traditions. The whole church-building centered modern church system is designed to benefit and profit the business-owner or franchisee (the pastor), not the LORD and His people. Christ’s true saints are not lukewarm weekly church members but rather, on fire disciples are fellowship daily and “exhort one another DAILY” and so much the more as His return draws nigh (Acts 2:42-47; Hebrew 3:13; 10:24-25).
You see, if a pastor can get you to sign his roster, he knows he has your allegiance and therefore you money.
Most people claiming to be Christians have this tradition in their minds that they need to find and join a church. Yet, it’s a nearly impossible task to find a body of true believers who are walking in the New Testament definition and revelation of what God calls fellowship where Christ is supreme. 99% of local churches are entertainment centers that offer little or no elements nor the spirit of the early church believers.
The test of true Christian fellowship is whether or not there are the following elements as found in the book of Acts (partial list):
- continuing steadfastly in the apostle’s doctrine (written Word)
- breaking bread together
- fellowship
- prayer
- sharing one to another whatever each member of the body of Christ needs – having all things common
- ceasing not to teach and to preach Jesus Christ (Acts 5:42)
You see, when you find – if you ever find – a pastor who tells the people to give among yourselves, having “all things common,” you have found something very rare. Regrettably, the modern church is a business and that CEO pastor who refuses to truly pastor the people, needs to pay a mortgage and many other unnecessary expenses they are wasting. So, in his mind, following Christ has nothing to do with it – making the mortgage and building his church business is what matters to him.
Perhaps we should cease searching for a church and simply be Christ’s church.
The LORD Himself, nor any of His apostles ever hinted of or instructed anyone to “go join a church” or to “become a good church member” and yet this is the order of the day in the apostate modern church world which is piloted or hi-jacked by self-serving hirelings who are farming their communities to build their own local church franchise, competing against other CEO type entrepreneurs. Now grant it, being an entrepreneur is not a sin if done uprightly in the business world and yet, the Church of Jesus Christ is no place to employ entrepreneurial tactics. Christ’s church is not a business. Yet this is the way much of the modern church world is set up. Ecclesiastes 1:9 tells us that “There is no new thing under the sun” and so we know we can peer into history and see the same things happening as we see transpiring today.
“And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Matthew 21:13
God’s house or dwelling place in individuals and in groups is to be dedicated to the worship of Him alone and yet, many today are intercepting the worship due only to the LORD and exploiting His people for their own self-serving purposes (Isaiah 56:10-12; Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Philippians 3:18-19; 2 Peter 2:1-3, etc.).
Setting forth such an idea that subverts the modern tradition of church memberships may be scary to some. To make the case that true New Testament fellowship is what is important and not joining a church, makes some pastors nervous because they are entrenched in following tradition instead of Christ. Perhaps they are threatened by this because they have not fully released themselves and therefore the people to the LORD, acknowledging Him alone as their Maker, God, Redeemer, and “Head.” (Colossians 2:18-19) Today would be the best day to denounce these idolatrous sins and begin to “lean not to thine own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5-7)
Please don’t read rebellion against God into this – but do read rebellion against man and satan into it please. You can put my name on that! It’s time to sift through and test every notion, philosophy, and practice of today against what we observe in Holy Scripture to be truth and according to the mind of Christ. See Acts 17:11 and Jeremiah 1:10. The erroneous traditions and contradictions to holy truth must FIRST be removed and torn down before a proper foundation can begin to be built. Study and memorize and put into action the divine principle and order of Jeremiah 1:10.
Christ and His redemptive work on that cross is despised by church membership. How? Well, church membership dishonors that Christ bled to make us members of HIS one body or church. Read Ephesians 2; 4; 1 Corinthians 12.
It’s only where Jesus Christ is upheld as the supreme KING, God, Counselor, Truth, Way, and Life that divine virtue flows from Heaven into His people! See Colossians 2:18-19.
Until we first put to the test the very reasons for which we assemble/meet and embrace the priorities set forth in Scripture, our assemblies will be limited at best.
Blindly following or going along with tradition instead of what is taught in God’s Word, always leads to dismal results as we have the pharisees for an example.
We should ask “What is the biblical precedence for ….” and “What saith the Scriptures?”
This doesn’t mean we won’t find things that are biblical, but how can we possibly have a clear heart about things until we do?
“Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.” 2 Samuel 15:6
Traditions of Mere Men are Meant to be Broken – Rooted Out
A reading of the Gospels reveals to us that Jesus often upset the religious bafoons of His day by breaking their foolish, man-centered, Christ-denying traditions. Their foolish traditions trumped divine truth.
“For laying aside the commandment (Word) of God, ye hold the TRADITION of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.” Mark 7:8
Do you know what Jeremiah 1:10 says? This verse gives us extremely valuable and necessary insight into the order and workings of the LORD.
“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10
What is the LORD’s order of working in our hearts?
- “to root out”
- “to pull down”
- “to destroy”
- “to throw down”
- “to build”
- “to plant”
First we should diligently examine why we do what we do. All teachings and practices must be acid tested against Holy Writ (Acts 17:11; 1 John 4:1). Questions to explore:
- “What did the early church do” is a very good starting question.
- And, “What do we see the apostles and Christ doing”?
- “What does the Bible teach?”
Your Prayer: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I come to You in the name of Jesus, asking that You would please begin to purge out any notion or philosophy or belief in this life You gave that is not of You – that is not according to the whole counsel of Your written Word. Please make me Your authentic disciple. Root out all from my life that does not glorify You and fill this vessel with the fruits of Your righteousness to bring glory to You and to serve others as unto You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Bowels of Mercies [podcast]
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:14-17
“Now the end (supreme goal) of the commandment (Word of God, Gospel) is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:” 1 Timothy 1:5
Recently a dear brother in Christ who got to reading on the ministry site, sent me an email claiming that I was perhaps being too harsh in some of the expose’s on the site. After I responded, this dear man sent back an apology, asking forgiveness for his own unwarranted harshness towards me.
Whew! Saints this is exactly how we should humbly work out things in the body of Christ, whose love never fails!
Here was the response sent to him:
“Blessings in Christ dear brother and thank you for the iron sharpening iron (Proverbs 27:17). Please let me know how can be a blessing to you (Ps 133:1; Eph 4:3).”
“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” Colossians 3:12-14
WHEN we aren’t concerned about how we are affecting others, it’s because we don’t care for them and are full of self (Colossians 4:6).
“Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Colossians 4:6
“Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:” 1 Peter 1:22
“Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.” 2 Corinthians 6:12
“For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:8
“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,” Philippians 2:1
“For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.” Philemon 1:7
“Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:” Philemon 1:12
“Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.” Philemon 1:20
“But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” 1 John 3:17
Saints, may our LORD help us to HELP other disciples who are in the same fight as we are in and help them in the LORD’s process of sanctification. Galatians 6:1-2; 2 Timothy 2:24-26

Hello. Anyone not alarmed at evil, such as calvinism, is suspect. This seems to be an evidence of desensitization, conditioning, a lack of holding to the truth of God. Satan knows how to pepper in lies, amidst lots of truth, and yet the end is still death (Galatians 5:9). Calvinism is absolutely a diabolical system of heresy. All 5 points of calvinism, as defined by calvinists, are false. The historical roots of calvinism https://safeguardyoursoul.com/calvinisms-origins-and-historical-roots/

Paul Washer teaches scripture. He’s spread the true gospel to millions of people all over the world precisely because he is reformed and believes the doctrines of grace. You are promoting a man-made, works based religion. You know nothing of the regeneration of the heart or the power of the true Gospel. You must cry out to God for the forgiveness of your sins and cast yourself on him. You have believed the teaching of Satan and you believe that you must save yourself, and keep yourself saved in your own power. Repent and turn to Christ, the only one who can regenerate your heart. All who are truly born again will not go on willfully sinning or doing Satans bidding as you are. Eph 2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Those demons that control your life have been triggered at the truth. Washer is spreading calvinism which is anything but the true Gospel. He’s preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Paul Washer is reformed which means he’s a calvinist heretic – following in the steps of the murderous fraud John Calvin who had over 60 people murdered for their beliefs, because they disagreed with him. That’s a historical fact. Compare: Did Jesus and His holy apostles ever inflict physical harm on anyone, for any reason? Not once. So you tell me I need to repent…yet you are a calvinist and so why do you believe I have free will to repent? Do you not see the convoluted hypocrisy here?
All 5 points of calvinism are heresy. Just one verse needed to flip the applecart of calvinism – “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2
Repent now sinner. When you do, you will lay down your life in this fleeting world, you will deny self, take up the cross daily, and follow Jesus for real – ceasing to hide like a coward behind the doctrines of calvinism.
The same demons behind John Calvin, who admitted he got his false doctrines from a catholic named Augustine, are behind Paul Washer. Take a look:
