Unity in Divirsity

Are you willing to stand together with those who are different from you? We are called to be one in Christ, who are you to judge those who are reading NIV, NKJV, ESV...?

VPP heresy and the bullying of a Chinese congregation

In the Christian Church heresy does not come as a total package. It builds up gradually. It develops within the minds of heretics as they succumb to the temptations of Satan. The day will come when it finally shows itself in its true form.

VPP is no exception. It started with the illusory religious zeal to defend the King James Bible and showed its true form when one of the founding senior pastors of the BP movement in Singapore 'preached',

"We must be careful; not every Bible is the Word of God...it [NKJV] is a very corrupt Bible...it has a Satanic logo...Satanic logo on the front cover...There is only one Bible today in English true to the Word of God...the King James Bible."

"In case you're in any doubt let me assure you. THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD WILL BE SETTLED NOT IN ANY OTHER LANGUAGE BIBLE BUT IN ENGLISH." The Chinese translator could hardly believe his ears and the pastor repeated the sentence.

It's therefore not surprising that the VPP heresy is a form of Ruckmanism.

The senior pastor, together with the elders from his church (Calvary BP Pandan), are bullying the Chinese-speaking congregation into subscribing to VPP. The Chinese congregation can't accept this because their Bible, the CUV is based on the Westcott and Hort (W-H) texts. The VPP proponents view the W-H texts as Satanic inspired, hence implying that the CUV is from Satan.

The VPP heretics have forgotten of how God used the CUV in the Asian Awakening (where an estimated 200,000-300,000 souls were saved 1928-1949) through His faithful servant (John) Sung Shang Chieh.

The Chinese-speaking congregation has written an irrefutable defence of orthodox Christianity once delivered to the saints. Our God is no respecter of race or language (Acts 10:34) although the VPP advocates think that God favour the English and Americans over other races.

Verbal Plenary Preservation - Perfect KJV-Onlyism is a false witness that sows discord among brethren (Prov 6:19)

The Perfect KJV (KJV-Onlyism, KJV Onlyism, or KJVO) heresy is an abandonment of the Historic Reformed Faith and the Westminster Confession of Faith and comes in two forms : –

· Ruckmanism, which holds to an inspired 1611 translation (“double inspiration”) resulting in a perfect English Bible. Where there is a discrepancy between the English and its underlying Hebrew Masoretic or Greek TR texts, the English is to be taken as more correct!?

· Verbal Plenary Preservation, also known as KJV-VPP or VPP-KJV, which holds to an inspired perfect textual criticism or recognition in 1611 which restored the Hebrew and Greek text of the KJV to be jot and tittle identical to the Divine Original Autographs!?

Ruckmanism and KJV-VPP are estranged twin sons of Benjamin Wilkinson, a leading Seventh Day Adventist who wrote “Our AV Vindicated” in 1930. Wherever it has gone, in whatever circles, Perfect KJV Onlyism has wrecked havoc and caused discord among brethren.

Far Eastern Bible College (FEBC) has sadly not only adopted, but now champions this false Charismatic post-canonical inspiration doctrine. FEBC cannot prove KJV-VPP – they cannot even convincingly and consistently identify the Hebrew-Greek underlying texts – but they call all who do not hold their views, “Neo-Fundamentalists”, “Neo-Evangelicals” or lacking in saving faith. In this website, the KJV-VPP heresy is exposed and refuted with clear evidential facts and sound biblical exegesis! It is our humble, earnest prayer that the Lord would be pleased to deliver His people from this divisive “doctrine”, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Churchmanship

Churchmanship can be defined as the manifestation on theology in the realm of liturgy, piety and to some extent spirituality. Different groups may identify more with one or the other, or some balance on the two:

1. Highly orthodox church

Fundamentalist, Puritan, Eastern Orthodoxy...reformed...

(some fundamentalists like to think they are living in the 16th century, they like to attack others! they think they are the most holiest, most faithful, most perfect type of Christian)

2. Evangelical

More evangelical in their belief and practices. Word and preaching is central in the service.

3. Charismatic

Knowing The Holy Spirit is our Holy God, A Divine Person living in us!

More teachings about the Holy Spirit in the ministry.

Exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit universally, in every churches!

Worship in the Spirit.

These three kinds of churchmanship, are under one Head, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, we are called and united in Christ, we should care and love one another!

This is called the 21st century ecumenical movement!

Review of The VPP Heresy. By Philip Tan

"VPP PROPONENTS BELIEVE THAT UNLESS CHRISTIANS HAVE A PHYSICAL COPY OF BIBLICAL TEXTS IDENTICAL IN CONTENTS TO THE AUTOGRAPHS THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS IN DOUBT."

The Lord Jesus told the Pharisees that their diligent search of the Scriptures, and having them could not save them (John 5:39) much less possessing copies of Scripture identical to the complete autographs. We have reviewed the teaching of VPP carefully and conclude that it has no biblical foundation. It is at best an opinion or a personal conviction. Taken it its logical conclusion, as FEBC has done, VPP is a heresy. The words of Dr. Price is most apt in describing VPP-KJV, "in dealing with the text of Scripture, one is obligated to work with reliable evidence, not with history reconstructed after a theological agenda".

An Old Fox

I have a friend, an ordained old pastor in Bible Presbyterian Church, he is older than most of us, he used to call the Rev. Dr. Timothy Tow from True Life Bible Presbyterian Church, an old fox!

Only those who are very close with him, know he is an old fox, he began well, but when he was old he became proud, arrogant, self-centered and in the end he became a heretic promoting a heresy: Verbal Plenary Preservation!

My friend so angry with this old fox!

To response to my friend's remark, I call those lecturers in Far Eastern Bible College as small little foxes! They are ruining the legacy of Bible Presbyterian Church in 9, 9A and 10, Gilstead Road, Singapore.

Rev Dr so and so used to tell me that this old fox like to stab people from behind! This old fox likes to betray people who trusted him.

Sad to say, today, many people like to follow old foxes, rather than following the Lord Jesus Christ.

John Sung spoke in tongues

..... However, in 1935, John Sung was surprised that he began speaking in tongues during a time of intense prayer. What is significant is that he continued to point his Pentecostal audiences to the true Holy Spirit principle of love for one’s brother and power in witnessing.

Immature

All the lecturers in Far Eastern Bible College are babes in Christ, small boys and girls still sucking milk from their mothers.

Misleading

Far Eastern Bible College is misleading people into a false belief, that they have a perfect Greek Bible, their lecturers are fooling people.

SHOW ME YOUR PERFECT GREEK BIBLE!

WHERE IS IT?

Foxes are calling sheep to go back to their "sheepfold" ?????

The Purpose in writing this blog

The authors are full-time ordained ministers and preachers in the Bible Presbyterian Church in Singapore. The goal of this blog is to encourage all Bible Presbyterian pastors, elders, and leaders, as well as the flocks they serve, to turn to the Shepherd, our Lord Jesus Christ. To unite under the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the Bible. Accepting our minor differences while focusing on the cross. Being described as one family under God the Father. We are called to be together in our diversity. Pride is the fault of all Bible Presbyterian Churches worldwide. Lust has blinded theologians at Far Eastern Bible College. It is at this heavy, serious, and gloomy moment in our Christian walk, rebuking these pastors and theologians, the remarks in this blog are heavy and severe in order to prompt them to repentance. May God help and bless us.

The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead; I believe in the Holy Ghost; I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints; The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body; And the life everlasting. Amen.

LUTHER'S MORNING PRAYER

Errors in King James Version

Read Romans 8:26...the KJV has "the Spirit itself..." This is an error; the Holy Spirit is our God, and we must address Him correctly! How may "itself" be used to approach God, the Holy Spirit? "It" is used to address an item or an animal, not a person or God! The KJV translators had insulted the Holy Spirit! However, in another verse, the KJV translators used the term "him" to designate Satan. What an insult to KJV readers! Read Luke 11:18: "...if Satan also be divided against himself..." The KJV uses the phrase "himself..." when addressing Satan! The KJV translator used "it" for the Holy Spirit, but "him" for Satan!!! Mark 3:28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, Mark 3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"

One Another

Unity In Diversity for Bible Presbyterian Churches in Singapore

Like a peal of bells the word allelon-'one another'-rings through the pages of the New Testament.

'Accept one another' allelon

'Serve one another' allelon

'Wash one another's feet'

'Confess your sins one to another'

'Pray one for another'

'Forbearing one another and forgiving each other'

'Teaching and admonishing one another'

'Comfort one another and build each other up'

'Bear one another's burdens'

'Love one another as I have loved you'

Those who have the flow of mutuality in their relationship with each other need not be vocal or exuberant in expressing it.

John Calvin's consent

To new readers, I greet you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may God grant us good theologians, humble servants of the Lord, and faithful believers in these last days, may God use this blog to call some one for self searching and repentance, and here we are blogging in theological debates. In 1547, Jacques Gruet, he was arrested by Calvin, tortured for a month and beheaded on July 26, 1547.. The civil court condemned him to death and, with Calvin's consent, he was beheaded. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin) John Calvin consented to kill a man for his theological stand, but I rather use strong words to achieve that!

Statement

1. The authors of this blog do not believe that the KJV Bible is the perfect Bible. The KJV has problems and inaccuracies because it is a man-made translation. 2. The inerrant Bible is in the autograph. All subsequent copies of Hebrew and Greek manuscripts have God's Written Word. We have God's written Word preserved in the NIV, KJV, and ESV. 3. There is no such notion as Verbal Plenary Preservation on a single TR Greek Text underlying the KJV, and the authors do not believe that the entire Greek text underlying the KJV Bible, or the TR, is error-free. 4. The authors believe that the Bible was inspired verbally and plenarily preserved in NIV, KJV, ESV, NESB….other faithful Bible versions. 5. The authors recommend NKJV, NIV, ESV, and NLT New Living Translation. 6. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the living Word.
