On page xii of
his helpful book titled, "I Never Knew You: The Horror Of The Great
White Throne Judgment And How You Can Avoid It,” Brother Bowen writes
these helpful words...
Here is the gospel:
God says that we are sinners and that no amount of good works or
behavioral changes on our part could ever make us holy enough to
enter heaven. God sent His Son to pay for all of our sins. Jesus
paid for our crimes by dying on the cross for us all. His dead body
was buried in a grave. On the third day, Jesus arose from the dead.
The instant you believe this, He knows it and He saves you. “Verily,
verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me hath everlasting
life” (John 6:47). The free gift is based solely upon your trust in
what Jesus did for you and has nothing at all to do with what you do
for Him. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should
boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Never Knew You,” p. xii, Michael P. Bowen
Here are some of my favorite
Gospel related quotes:
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.
We must stay true to the simplicity of
the Gospel!! Repentance regarding salvation is a change of mind from
unbelief to belief!!! We must earnestly contend for the faith (Jude
1:3).
“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.” —John Bunyan (1628-1688)
God intentionally made His
plan of redemption simple, easy and free for mankind. God did this
because there's a lot of uneducated, educible slow and base people in
the world. God's plan of salvation is so simple that even a small child
can be saved, simply by understanding that he or she has sinned and
Jesus paid for those sins by sacrificing Himself on the cross. Jesus
didn't remain dead, He resurrected three days later. 1st
Thessalonians 4:14, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.”
In closing, by the will of God I have
declared war on every rotten church today (particularly Baptist
churches) who have perverted God's simple plan of salvation. There is
nothing in the inspired King James Bible
which teaches to “follow and obey God's will instead of your
self-serving sins” to get to Heaven. Nor will you find anything in the
Bible about repenting of your sins and giving up your sinful bad
habits. To do so is WORKS, not GRACE. Romans 4:4-5, “Now to him that
worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to
him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly,
his faith is counted for righteousness.” The true way of salvation
is to BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, not to follow and obey God's
will instead of your own self-serving sin. Campus Church is requiring
lost sinners to KEEP THE LAW to be saved. The Bible warns that no flesh
will be justified be keeping the Old Testament law of Moses (Romans
3:20). Jesus warned in John 3:3... YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN!!!
Shame on PCC and their corrupt Campus
Church. God knows that I love the folks at Pensacola Christian College
and their Campus Church. I am not their enemy, they are God's enemy. PCC
are the one's who have perverted the Gospel, not me. Not one word in the
inspired King James Bible teaches to begin to follow Christ and turn
from your wicked way, but that is exactly what
infidel Ken Ham preaches on
Answers-In-Genesis. Tragically, PCC honors and wickedly bids
Godspeed to Ken Ham, partaker of his evil deeds (2nd John 1:11). In 2022
PCC invited Ken Ham to speak to their thousands of victim students, who
are being corrupted by PCC's toxic false theology. God is not a
respecter of person. God is on my side for one reason—because I am
telling THE TRUTH and PCC are theological liars!!!
I think Michael P. Bowen said it best. ...
I am at eternal odds with
the false, counterfeit messages of salvation-by-works that are
taught from virtually every pulpit today, on every television
channel, and on every Christian radio station; however, I am not at
eternal odds with the individuals who preach these counterfeit
messages. My heart literally goes out to all of them because they
simply do not understand Christ’s plan of salvation. They have been
lied to by a crafty enemy named Satan, whose sole aim is to take as
many people with him to the lake of fire as he can possibly manage
to steal away from God using a counterfeit plan of salvation that
appears so real, so genuine, and so holy that few ever realize they
have been deceived by it. Oh reader, so many of today’s professing
Christians who think they are going to heaven when they die are not
going to make it to heaven as they had assumed because they’ve been
lied to by today’s error-filled gospel messages.

Search the Scriptures dear
friend. Please don't become another victim of Pensacola Christian
College's damnable heresy. If you foolishly think, as PCC and Campus
Church does, that you must forsake your sinful bad habits to get to
Heaven, then you are guaranteed to go straight to Hell when you breathe
your last breath. If you want to go to Heaven someday, then you had
better cease from your dead works and by faith rest in Christ's
sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins, believing that He is
risen (Hebrews 4:10-11).
Nothing is a free gift if you
are obligated to give up your sinful bad habits to obtain it. The truth
is that you come to God as a helpless, miserable, guilty, ungodly
sinner, and simply trust Christ by believing that He has already done it
all for you through Calvary's cross. Then after you are saved, whatever
changes in your behavior God wants to see is His department, and you can
be assured that He will attend to it. The only thing that you get at the
time of the new birth is God's gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Your
behavior doesn't change, nor does God require that your behavior change
to be saved. Your behavior may never change. PCC and their knucklehead
incompetent pastors at Campus Church evidently don't understand the
meaning of a “gift.” A “gift” is something freely given without any
stipulations or obligations. If God requires anything from you in return
for the new birth, then it cannot be a gift; it would be a reward or a
trade of sorts, which is the
Satanic heresy which Dr. John MacArthur preaches.
PCC Are Creating Doubts,
Not Dissolving Them
Wow! I can’t believe Campus
Church at PCC mailed that out. That place is a cesspool of iniquity,
sending people to Hell and teaching tomorrow’s pastors to preach a
confusing message. What a damn shame! I read a Bible verse in Daniel
this morning and realized that PCC and Campus Church are CREATING
DOUBTS, not dissolving doubts. ...
Daniel 5:16, “And I
have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and
dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make
known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with
scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the
third ruler in the kingdom.”
King Belshazzar said that
he'd heard the prophet Daniel could “dissolve doubts” with his dream
interpretations. Dear reader, this is what every Christian soulwinner is
supposed to do with the Gospel, DISSOLVE DOUBTS in people. But we can
only do this if we have a correct understanding of the truth of the
Gospel in the first place. You cannot preach the truth if you do not
have the truth!
Any pastor who supports this
rotten institution or church at PCC is partaking in their EVIL DEEDS!!!
Campus Church and PCC cannot dissolve doubts that someone has in regards
to salvation or eternal security. They are only creating doubt with
their
Misunderstood Repentance (Dr. Jack Hyles exposes this damnable
heresy and enemy of soulwinning).
WICKED WICKED WICKED!!! By God's grace, I will continue to expose these
devils!!!!!!! PCC and their pathetic Campus Church CREATE DOUBTS, they
don't dissolve them.
I love you with Christ's unconditional love whoever you may be. Thank
you for visiting my blog ministry. God bless you dear reader, unless you
support PCC's damnable tommyrot, balderdash and poppycock! If you are
okay with PCC's false doctrine, then you are cursed by God for
supporting a counterfeit gospel, and you need to get saved (Galatians
1:6-9). No one has ever been born-again who turned from their sinful
behavior to be saved (because that is works). Read for yourself what
“works” Jesus said you must do to be saved. 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. You won't be saved until you trust
in Jesus Christ alone.” Carefully notice that Jesus Himself didn't
say to “follow and obey God's will
instead of your self-serving sins.” No, Jesus said the “work” of God to
to BELIEVE ON JESUS!!!
In fact, the Greek noun for
repent is metanoia, which simply means “a change of mind.” The
Greek verb form is metanoeo which means “to think differently.”
These words do NOT mean to “follow
and obey God's will instead of your self-serving sins.” These Greek
words for repent do NOT mean “I repent of my sins.
I realize that sin is something that God hates and I no longer want
to hold onto sinful bad habits.” I applaud Pastor Harry Ironside
(1876-1951) for getting repentance correct, who said:
“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)
The only thing that we need to repent from to be saved is
UNBELIEF. Repentance is admitting to God that you are a guilty sinner,
not turning away from your sinful behavior. I love this helpful quote by
Dr. Ironside...
“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: Harry A.
Ironside, from the sermon: 'What
Is The Gospel?'
Amen, bravo Pastor Ironside! Here is another awesome
quote from Dr. Harry Ironside...
“Repentance is the
recognition of my sinnership—the owning before God that I am as vile
as He has declared me to be in His holy Word.”
SOURCE: 'Except
Ye Repent,' by Dr. Harry Ironside, chapter 3
Dr. Jack Hyles 100% correctly and Biblically states
concerning repentance...
“Repentance
is not some little silly, 'I'm sorry.' Repentance is not simply a
fear of God. Repentance is not a monk fasting and afflicting his
body in a monastery. Repentance is not remorse because of sin's
consequences. Repentance is not penance performed before the pope as
you kiss his toe... Repentance is not being sorry for what I've done
wrong. It is not confessing one's sins to a priest. It is not just
conviction of sin. It is not the signing of a pledge of abstinence.
Repentance is that thing when you come before God and see yourself
as you are, and see Him as he is, and say with Isaiah 'Woe is me,
for I am unclean!'” —Pastor
Jack Hyles (1926-2001), a quote from the timeless MP3 sermon, 'THE
GOODNESS OF GOD LEADETH TO REPENTANCE!'
Do we need to realize our sinful condition to be
saved? Of course, yes! But there is not one verse in the entire Bible
which requires a person to forsake sin to be saved, nor be willing to
give up their sinful lifestyle to be saved.
I love this quote from one of my favorite free grace
preachers, Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold...
“There is power in this Gospel
message.
Most people just don't know how to present it... The clarity of the
Gospel is what makes it easy for them to believe.”—Pastor
Yankee Arnold, a quote from the excellent MP3 sermon titled, “WHY
GRACE CAN SAVE THE WORST MAN!”
Tragically, PCC and Campus
Church are confusing tens of thousands of people throughout Pensacola,
by mailing poisonous booklets that preach another gospel. Nothing is
clear about their toxic plan of damnation. Dr. Curtis Hutson (1934-1995)
is so right, who said that it's like buttoning a dress shirt—if you get
the first button wrong, then all the other buttons will be wrong too. If
a man is wrong on repentance, then he is going to be wrong on everything
else too! We simply cannot trust PCC and Campus Church doctrinally,
because they are wrong on repentance; and therefore, wrong on the
Gospel. I am shocked that PCC is distributing this damnable heresy
throughout Pensacola! PCC have complicated God's simple plan of
salvation, changing it by adding damnable embellishments, so that no one
can be saved from it.
I love you with Christ's
unconditional love whoever you may be. Thank you for visiting my website
ministry.
I live in the city of Pensacola. In my mailbox today I found an envelope
from Campus Church with my address and the words “To Our Neighbour” on it. I
opened the envelope and inside I found a booklet of John & Romans. The
booklet has 64 pages in it. The Campus Church logo is printed on the front
cover.
