Who do you say Jesus is?

Let’s just suppose for a minute that all of the items on the list are not true -- except one.  That one is No. 7 – “wrong jesus.”  Who you say Jesus is, matters!  He is our Saviour who died for our sins.  When you say that He also died to make us healthy, wealthy and happy, you have created a ”new jesus” who is not the Jesus of the Bible.  If you have the “wrong jesus,” all the other items on the list do not matter because if you have the “wrong jesus,” you have nothing!  If you accepted the “wrong jesus,”  you are not a Christian.  Victory Churches and the Faith Movement can’t decide after 2000 years that Jesus needs to be redefined, reworked or made new.  His character is the same yesterday, today and forever.

On this one item alone, you need to leave BVC immediately.  There is no doubt that this heretical group has modified, remade, and therefore created a “new jesus.”  This “new jesus” is not in the Bible, cannot save you and will not be able to get you to heaven because he does not exist.  Victory churches and the Faith Movement are responsible for this horrendous deceit.  The leaders of these groups will be condemned to Hell for eternity for spreading this falsehood to millions of people around the world.  So if you need a number of reasons to leave BVC read the list top to bottom, but the primary reason is No. 7.   Who you say Jesus is, matters!

To all you Baptists at BVC

You know the truth because you were raised in a Baptist church.  The Baptist church did not include any lies or misinterpreted Scripture in its teachings.  You were saved by the Holy Spirit when you became a Christian.  Part of what the Holy Spirit gives you at salvation is discernment regarding false teaching.   How is it that you are unable to discern that BVC is a cult?  How is it that you are unable to discern that many things are very wrong at BVC?  There is a feeling of darkness or evil when you walk into the place. I felt it the one time that I was there.

You need to ask yourself why you are still there?  Why are you willing to be part of this grand deceit?  If you have young children, why are you OK with exposing them to false teaching and having them accept the “wrong jesus?”   When your children figure this out, what will they do?  Just think about who they are going to blame for the deceit.  I’ll bet it will be their parents who chose to get involved with a false religion and didn’t have enough discernment to realize that they needed to get out!  Do you want your children to miss Heaven because of something that you did or would you rather be the ones that saved them from this travesty?

Your decision to reject the Jesus of the Bible, and embrace the “new jesus” at BVC has consequences.  The “new jesus” cannot forgive your sins or get you to Heaven.  You will instead be going to Hell for eternity.  God will not let you into Heaven when you have placed your trust in a “counterfeit jesus.”  You have been deceived big time.  Being made a fool is no fun but this is what has happened to you, whether you like it or not.

You have been deceived by the smoke and mirrors of tongues, blessings, healing, miracles, breakthroughs, and power encounters.  If you can’t discern that BVC is a cult, this means that you cannot be a Christian.  You were born again in a Baptist church but you have rejected that to follow the “wrong jesus,” and focus on favour, fake tongues, phony healings and personal blessings – instead of the real Jesus who you learned about in your Baptist days.  Just think about it, Satan has been the victor in this situation.  He has been successful in drawing you away from the truth into a false religion.  In Satan’s world, this is a huge victory.

You need to repent for placing your trust in a “counterfeit jesus” and come back to the real Jesus, the one in the Bible who can forgive your sins and get you into Heaven.  Tongues, blessings, healing, miracles, breakthroughs and power encounters will keep you out of Heaven if you continue to make them the central focus of your religious experience instead of the real Jesus.  These “riff-raff” experiences provided by BVC are meaningless in light of the fact that they are promoting a “new jesus.”  This means that BVC has nothing to offer you of any importance or relevance to your life and future in eternity.  It’s all worthless and useless without the real Jesus of the Bible.  Remember, “There is nothing new in Christianity.”  

Everybody say, "I'm outta here!"
