  • According to his website, Salvatore Sapienza is an ordained minister serving as pastor of the UCC church in Saugatuck/Douglas, Michigan, where he lives with his husband, Gregg.
    Listen carefully and see if you can spot how this one Progressive Christian pastor twists John 3:16 to reject the gospel.
    Note the rhetorical move of pretending that those who don't agree with him are mean-hearted and delight in condemning people.
    Note how he isolates one part of one verse from it's full context so that he can more easily pretend it teaches something very different than it really does.
    Note, most of all, how a thoughtful reading of Scripture in context will protect you from nice-sounding, false doctrines.
    Do you want to see the whole video this is from? It's a full analysis of this pastor's sermon on John 3:16. Deeply troubling. www.youtube.co...

      Rather than knowing I slog through this life and look forward to the next, I would live the rest of my days in soul-numbing terror, solidly convinced I had never really been part of Christ's assembly, and would face the eternal torment that would begin the instant I died.

      Actually through videos like this I’ve noticed for some time that LGBT members have been infiltrating the church, posing as pastors. They’re purposely decieving entire congregations, and deluding the gospel from the inside out. We need to pray for these people, but I believe this is the types of things Christ was talking about when he mentioned wolves in sheep’s clothing. These entire congregations need to be prayed for.
      Pray that their hearts and minds are opened to the true gospel, and the veil of delusion is lifted from their eyes.
      The delusion going on in the world right now on a mass scale is actually kind of scary. What suprises me, and shocks me is literally how fast a society can crumble and go down this path in literally a few short years.

      Wonder if the "preacher" recalls this passage from Genesis 2: 21-25.
      "21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."
      No where is the Bible I've read does it say man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to man as his wife.

      How about we look for Biblical proof and whether or not it denies Jesus? Why don't we test it against scripture and the Holy Spirit instead of dismissing it because it's "new". For clarification, I mean in general. It's obvious that the progressive "preacher" that Mike Winger is reacting to is false. In fact, all progressive "pastors" are false. But I'm sure you already knew that.

      @bama101010 Před rokem

      We should always call out false teachers of the gospel, because it is by our belief of the gospel, that our sins are forgiven and we are saved, as seen in I Corinthians 15:1-4.
      False teachers are all those that preach that Paul taught the same gospel as Jesus Christ (while on earth) and Peter and the 11.
      That teaching is heresy, plain and simple.
      Did Paul (by inspiration of the Holy Spirit) lie in the verses below?
      Paul was given a "dispensation" of the gospel as God said in I Corinthians 9:17.
      I Corinthian 9:17
      "For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me."
      Yes, Paul was given the dispensation of the gospel that we know as the "gospel of the grace of God," as God said below in Ephesians 3:2.
      Ephesians 3:2
      "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward."
      Those that teach that our church started at Pentecost and those that teach that our gospel was preached at Pentecost are false teachers. The gospel that Peter preached at Pentecost is called the gospel of the kingdom and promised an earthly kingdom for Israel.
      It was 9-10 years later that Paul first preached the gospel of the grace of God.
      I put my faith in God's word, not man's word.

    The sure sign that someone is a false teacher is when they focus on HALF a verse and either ignore or downplay the rest. I once walked out on a sermon by Kenneth Copeland where he literally was teaching that if you want to be a doctor, you don’t need to go to medical school, because you have “all of the knowledge of the Spirit within you.” When I looked up the verse in context, I was doubly disgusted, because that verse was all about having the knowledge to spot false teachers. Imagine the pure gall of using a verse about false teachers as a basis for a false teaching.
