Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron are going around the world, telling people that they cannot be saved unless they try really hard to stop sinning (what they errantly define as repentance). Yet, Kirk Cameron admits that he is still a part of Hollywood (a proven cesspool of iniquity and heathendom). Kirk Cameron is a poster boy for the cesspool of Hollywood, trying to make it look like Hollywood has a good side to it; but there's nothing good about Hollywood.
If either of these imposters truly preached against the wickedness of Hollywood, they wouldn't be welcomed there anymore. Hollywood is a spiritually rat infested, whore-mongering, dungheap of smut and homosexuals. Hollywood is homosexual to the core! Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom in Genesis 13:12 and then moved to Sodom in Genesis 14:12, which is the equivalent of Hollywood today.
Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort have a false conception of what it means to “repent.” Here is what the Bible really teaches about repentance. Cameron and Comfort errantly teach that in order to be saved, a person must try really hard to stop sinning (which they define as repentance). Christians need to stop getting their theology from Hollywood actors, cartoon artists and Freemasons. WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURE? The Bible speaks plainly in Romans 4:5, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” That's what saith the Scripture! How much clearer could the Word of God be... but to him that WORKETH NOT... HIS FAITH IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!
You don't have to give up any sin to be saved except unbelief! If you admit your guilt of sin before God (Romans 3:19), and trust upon Jesus that He is the Christ, the Son of God (John 20:31), then you will be forgiven and saved by God (Romans 10:13). As much as Ray Comfort quotes Charles H. Spurgeon in THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, he missed this quote by Charles Spurgeon exposing the LIE of Lordship Salvation.
I agree with their airplane and parachute scenario[1] that they commonly teach. I agree the the Law needs to be used as a teacher to bring men to Christ for salvation. Ray Comfort and his faithful sidekick, Kirk Cameron are correct in all of their teachings on the necessity of the Law in salvation. That is Biblical.
HOWEVER, I totally disagree and am diametrically opposed to the doctrine that a person cannot be saved unless they try really hard to stop sinning and surrender their life to Christ for salvation. That's the lie of the Devil that Dr. John MacArthur has popularized. The Bible teaches that Eternal life is a free gift, paid in full by the precious literal blood of Jesus Christ (1st Peter 1:18-19; Revelation 1:5).
On page 1197 of THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, Ray Comfort comments on Matthew 7:22,23...
“These are perhaps the most frightening verses in the Bible. Vast multitudes of professing Christians fit into the category spoken of here. They call Jesus 'Lord,' but they practice lawlessness. They profess faith in Jesus, but have no regard for the divine law. They tell 'fibs' or 'white' lies, take things that belong to others, have a roaming eye for the opposite sex, etc. They are liars, thieves, and adulterers at heart, who will be cast from the gates of heaven into the jaws of hell.”
SOURCE: THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, by Ray Comfort, pg. 1197; 2003, Bridge-Logos Publishers, Orlando, Florida
That is a false gospel of works salvation. If a person must try really hard to stop sinning to be saved, then salvation becomes a REWARD, instead of a free gift that one's simply receives. Ray Comfort is a false prophet.
How could Mr. Cameron say he's never had a desire to leave the cesspool of Hollywood? Who needs to repent? There's not a stinking sewer in America any more repulsive to the nostrils of God than Hollywood!!! Hollywood is synonymous with taking God's name in vain, homosexuality, lasciviousness, indifference, pedophilia, pride, adultery, lust, greed, violence, pornography, prostitution, booze, mocking God, and every other evil imaginable. They're all living for Satan, whether they realize it or not! And Kirk Cameron says he's never left Hollywood? James 4:4 warns, "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." Yet Kirk Cameron says he'd be willing to work with unsaved Hollywood producers, adulterous blasphemers who curse the name of Jesus Christ in every movie they make. Apostasy!
No Christian should ever yoke up with unbelievers (2nd Corinthians 6:14-17). This is what is wrong with so many evangelicals today, like Billy Graham who is unequally yoked with the blasphemous Catholic Church! The Catholic Church is straight out of the pits of Hell; but you'll never hear that from most evangelicals like Ray Comfort!
Even Jack Van Impe has sold-out to the Mother of Harlots! Jack Van Impe boasts of having spent over 86,000 hours in Bible study! Maybe he ought to get his glasses checked, because he sure missed Mark 7:6-13 and Romans 10:3-4! It's all about the love of money as 1st Timothy 6:10 warns. Money ALWAYS changes people. Covetousness has destroyed more men of God than anything else. It destroyed Balaam in the Old Testament. Sellouts!
What difference is there between the mumbo-jumbo which Billy Graham teaches, and the basic doctrines of the Catholic Church? Catholics believe that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again! In fact, Lordship Salvationists teach the exact same view of being born-again as do the unsaved Catholics. Catholics believe in Jesus' deity, virgin birth, sinless life, and the necessity of Christ's blood sacrifice; BUT, tragically, they're all going to Hellfire because they've ADDED self-righteousness to faith. When we witness to lost sinners, we need to let them know that that Biblical Gospel EXCLUDES all forms of good works, water baptism, the Eucharist (holy mass), the sacraments, dedication, devotion to God, commitment to Christ, turning over a new leaf, chanting the Rosary, church membership, confessing to a priest, generosity, supporting a ministry, forsaking one's sins, et cetera. If you ADD even one of these things to your faith, then you WILL go to Hellfire in your self-righteousness!
Sadly, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron have ADDED their own requirements to God's plan of salvation, requiring people to try really hard to stop sinning to be saved. This is known as the damnable heresy of Lordship Salvation; which teaches that a person must surrender their life to Christ, make a full commitment to live anew, and break off all sinful bad habits immediately in order to be saved. In effect, you are saving yourself. This is a dangerous false gospel which has crept in unawares (Jude 1:4; Titus 1:10-13) into our churches. The New Age Movement is based upon feelings and experiences; rather than upon the promise (Titus 1:2) and miracle (power) of God's salvation (John 1:12-13), which is by faith alone in Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Lordship Salvationists all pervert the Gospel message, requiring sinners to stop living in their sins to be saved. Moody Bible Institute and many other theological schools have been caught up into MacArthur's doctrines of devils...
1st Timothy 4:1, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;1Tm:4:1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and DOCTRINES OF DEVILS.”
Lordship Salvation is a backdoor approach to Works Salvation. Instead of requiring people to do good works to be saved as the Catholic Church does, Lordship Salvationists require people to stop living in sin to be saved. The result is the same—self righteousness. The perverted doctrine of Lordship Salvation is the primary ecumenical bridge now being used to merge Catholics with apostate Evangelicals.
Kirk Cameron falsely preaches that people should repent FROM their sins to be saved; YET, he himself is worldly and needs to do some repenting of his own...
“Cameron says he'd love to do non-religious films and TV again, but at times it's difficult to convince producers that while he has found Jesus, he hasn't lost his sense of humor.”

Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron Teach Damnable “Lordship Salvation” Heresy
Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron are becoming extremely popular with their WAY OF THE MASTER series. Although their message of "repentance" sounds good, it is not. Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron pervert the Scriptures, by misrepresenting the Greek meaning of the Biblical word "repent." The problem is that they misinterpret the Biblical word "repent."
Many false teachers today are saying that "repent" in the Bible means "to forsake one's sins." Nothing could be further from the Truth of God's Word. In Mark 1:15 Jesus said, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." The word repent here is the Greek METANOEO, meaning "to change one's mind." When a person realizes that they're a GUILTY sinner under the condemnation of God's Law and deserving of Hellfire, and then that person believes on the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness—they are saved eternally. We are the sinners, and Jesus is the Savior. It's that simple. Salvation is receiving; Not giving. Please read, What is Biblical repentance?
Romans 4:5 couldn't be any clearer... “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Our only part in being saved is to believe upon the Savior, because of the precious literal physical blood He applied to the Mercy Seat in Heaven for our sins. Salvation is of God alone.
To understand the issue of Lordship Salvation,
realize that THEY ARE ALL CALVINISTS!!! John Calvin (1509-1564) taught a
heresy called the
PERSEVERANCE
OF THE SAINTS, which taught that if a person is truly saved they
will continue in holy living, surrendering their life to Christ, and
departing from sin and the world; thus, this becomes a REQUIREMENT to
be saved in Calvinism. This is EXACTLY what Lordship Salvation teaches today
(it is Calvinism). It is a false Gospel.
Kirk Cameron is Popular With the World
Don't think for a second that Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron aren't part of the same corrupt and wicked system as Max Lucado, Joel Osteen, Pat Robertson and all the other fakes and con-men like Benny Hinn. Any evangelist or pastor who supports World Government and the apostate Ecumenical Movement (the let's all lay aside our Bibles and get along crowd), goes straight to the top in popularity. Joyce Meyer is on the New York Times Bestseller List because she is part of the New World Order, uniting religious faiths of all walks of life into ONE. Joyce Meyer's stated mission is to teach unsaved people how to enjoy life using Scriptural principles.
There's a reason why they're so popular on mainstream television. You don't see any Independent Fundamental Baptist preachers being invited on television. That's because such preachers proclaims THE TRUTH. Kirk Cameron is wishy-washy, a fence-straddler, trying to play both sides of the street. He needs to LEAVE the hellhole of Hollywood. Kirk Cameron is nothing more than a poster boy to cover for Hollywood's wickedness. They exploit him and use him to show that Hollywood has SOME GOOD to it. Let me tell you, Hollywood is HOMOSEXUAL TO THE CORE!!! There is NO GOOD in Hollywood! They ought to rename some places on the west coast to HollyWEIRD, San FranSICKO and CaliFORNICATION!!!
In the satanic mindset of Lordship Salvationists (who are all heretical Calvinists), salvation is not as easy as simply placing your faith in Jesus Christ. They believe that a drastic transformation must take place, that causes a person to dedicate their entire life to serving God and departing from sin and the world. The problem is that by requiring this change as part of the ROOT of saving faith, the gospel is perverted into a works-based false gospel, that is, ANOTHER GOSPEL. Paul Washer, Kirk Cameron, John MacArthur and Ray Comfort all falsely claim to believe in salvation by grace. They certainly do not. The Calvinist doctrine of the “Perseverance of the Saints” is essentially “Lordship Salvation.”
Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, Paul Washer, Pat Robertson, John MacArthur and countless others, have their own little Lordship Salvation click, influencing hundreds-of-millions of people for Satan with a Roman Catholic false gospel of works. However, the Bible warns that though hand-join-in-hand and the wicked unite together against the Lord, God will PUNISH them...
Proverb 16:5, “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.”
It doesn't matter if the entire world pats you on the back, agrees with you, and says you're doing the right thing; God will be the final and only Judge of humanity (Romans 14:12; Matthew 12:36; 2nd Corinthians 5:9-11; Galatians 4:12; 5:9; 1st Thessalonians 4:6; Romans 12:19).
The bottom line is that all the aforementioned men who teach the false doctrine of Lordship Salvation are perverting the free-grace view of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are corrupting the simplicity that is in Christ. They are prophets for hire, all making money off the ministry.
His message is subtle, identical to the heresy of Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron and John MacArthur; but they all in essence teach the same thing—Lordship Salvation. Paul Washer has appeared on WAY OF THE MASTER to be interviewed by Kirk Cameron. They're all heretical Calvinists. Paul Washer actually gave a sermon titled “DECLARING WAR ON THE SINNER'S PRAYER.” In the video Washer claims that the sinner's prayer has sent more people to Hell than anything else. Washer even goes as far as to refer to the sinner's prayer as “the idolatry of decisionism” at 3:59 in the video.
The following is an excerpt from a popular demonic message Paul Washer gave about the “alter call.” At 09:26 in the video Paul Washer foolishly states...
But let's say that a person comes forward or a person is out there with us in a park somewhere and they say, "Yes, I believe, I believe he saved me today." You should say, "Praise God!" But then, then, you should say, "Now listen to me very clearly. If you have indeed repented of your sins and believed, God has saved you; but the evidence that you have truly repented and believed unto salvation is that you will continue repenting and believing, and God and His Christ will become dear to you, and you will begin to walk and to grow. Yes it will be a struggle and sometimes you will fail, but over the course of your life you will begin to grow in holiness, and holiness, you will grow in holiness without which no man will see the Lord. The evidence that you are truly converted today is that you will continue on. If only most of the Americans had been told that, they would not be resting in false security today.
SOURCE: Sermon by Paul Washer, A Challenging Message From Paul Washer, found at the HeartCry website: http://heartcry.me.uk/?p=6
Paul Washer wrongly understands repentance to be a process. He says, "the evidence that you have truly repented and believed unto salvation is that you will continue repenting" [emphasis added]. Continue repenting? Obviously, Washer understands repentance to mean pursuing holiness, amending one's ways and doing better. This is NOT repentance! These things are the RESULTS of genuine repentance. A changed life is the FRUIT of true repentance, and not repentance itself. Paul Washer is effectively teaching works salvation.
“Now what is repentance? The word means to change. Let me ask you a question … Have you changed?”
SOURCE: Repent and Believe, Part 4: http://www.heartcrymissionary.com/download.php?file=04-True-Gospel-Pt-4-Repent-and-Believe.mp3
Paul Washer wrongly defines repentance as a change of lifestyle. You can read more of Washer's heretical statements here.
Dr. Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951) correctly states...
“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.
Paul Washer, as do Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, John Macarthur, and others, wrongly define repentance as a continuing change of life, i.e., a process. However, a changed life is the result, i.e., the fruit, of genuine repentance; and not repentance itself. If repentance is a process, than so is salvation. They are wrong! Biblical repentance is NOT something that continues; but rather, occurs once at the time of salvation. It is "a change of mind" (Greek: metanoia). A changed life is the fruit of genuine repentance; not a part of saving-faith, nor a requirement to seal one's salvation.
Jesus taught that a man must be born-again to
enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (John 3:3-7). The Lord compared this
spiritual birth to the physical birth. When a child is born into this world,
he or she grows as a result of that birth. The growing process is NOT
necessary for the birth to take place. Likewise, growing in holiness is NOT
necessary to be born-again. Whether a believer grows or continues in the
Lord is totally irrelevant to salvation itself. Just as a babe in the womb
has absolutely no control over it's birth, neither does a sinner have any
control over God's salvation. The moment we believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, we have done what God requires for salvation. Salvation is of the
Lord (Jonah 2:9). One's salvation is based upon Christ's imputed
righteousness; and not upon our own self-righteousness in any way.
Living a Consecrated Life Verses Saving Faith
Now if a person has genuinely repented unto salvation, then there should be a change in that person's life (2nd Corinthians 5:17); BUT the change comes AFTERWARDS, and not as a prerequisite to be saved as Lordship Salvationists teach. This is what James meant when he said, "Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works" (James 2:18). Proponents of Lordship Salvation confuse the "fruit" of genuine repentance with the "root" of saving faith. James is speaking about the FRUIT of our Christian faith; not the ROOT, which Paul speaks of in Romans 4:3-5. In Genesis 15:6, Abraham was justified by FAITH in the eyes of God; BUT in Genesis 22, Abraham was justified by WORKS in the eyes of men when he offered up Isaac (James 2:21). Many people today are confused between these two.
Please Read: Dr. John R. Rice Refutes Lordship Salvation.
There should be some type of change in a
professed Christian's life. Something is very wrong with a group like
JC's Girls, who profess to be Christians,
who have been praised on The 700 Club;
BUT, JC's Girls are of the Devil, still promoting lesbianism,
pornography, rock-n-roll, and escort [prostitution] services.
Imposters! Although it is true that Christians are still sinners, no genuine
believer feels that they have a license to freely sin. If there was
true repentance at the alleged time of salvation, then a person's mind will
have changed towards sin. This is not to say that a person has
to forsake their sins to be saved; BUT, rather, if there was a genuine
regeneration of the soul, then the Holy Spirit will convict that child of
God about sin (Hebrews 12:6-8).
Kirk Cameron is a Follower of the Modernist John MacArthur!
On Kirk Cameron's website, he voices praises for the John MacArthur Study Bible...
This explains where Mr. Cameron and
Ray Comfort get their Lordship
Salvation heresy from, because
John
MacArthur is Mr. Lordship Salvation himself. MacArthur is
also a proponent of the corrupt New
International Version of the Bible, which also teaches Lordship
Salvation in Romans 10:9. John
MacArthur treads underfoot the precious, literal, physical blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Truly, John MacArthur is a WOLF in sheep's clothing
(Matthew 7:15), and his
Study Bible is extremely dangerous. MacArthur is a
confused man. Please read,
John MacArthur's Lame Bible
Commentary. As they say, the nut never falls too far from the tree. Followers of pastor MacArthur are a corrupted bunch, who instead of
SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES as Jesus commanded in John 5:39, are searching
the writings of John MacArthur for answers. “Yea, let God be true,
but every man a liar...” (Romans 3:4).
The Sinful World Likes Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron
Sure, why not... you can profess to be a “Christian” like Kirk Cameron--while continuing to rub-shoulders, support, and speak well of sinful Hollywood. One of Kirk Cameron's fans states...
We have enough of these fanatic so-called fundamentalist “Evangelical Christians” preaching hate of other Religions and spreading their ignorant fanatical narrow-minded unChristian beliefs.
SOURCE: http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/41/converting-kirk-cameron
Now this statement came from one of the followers of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron!!! Something is wrong! It's obvious that this man is not saved, for he is attacking Bible-believing Christians who expose false religion, as being "unChristian." Ephesians 5:11 commands us to expose Satan's works of darkness... "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." That means Kirk Cameron should be exposing Hollywood, not yoking up with them. This means Christians are supposed to expose false religion, not share their commonalities. The word "reprove" comes from the Greek, elencho, meaning, "TO EXPOSE." The Biblical Gospel is very simple--we are SINNERS and Jesus is the SAVIOR; BUT, the Gospel can be perverted so easily, and subtly.
We read in 2nd Corinthians 11:3... "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron teach damnable heresy, by requiring people to FORSAKE their actual sins to be saved; YET, Kirk Cameron continues to support the cesspool of iniquity called Hollywood. This is definitely a conflict of interest. Kirk Cameron needs to choose sides--Hollywood or Jesus Christ! Hollywood is 100% diametrically opposed to everything the Word of God stands for and teaches.
Listen once again to the horrible words of Mr.
Cameron... "I never had a desire to leave mainstream Hollywood.
And still don't think that I've left mainstream Hollywood." Based upon his own self-incriminating words, Kirk Cameron needs to repent,
because he is eating at the Devil's table (1st Corinthians 10:21). Away with Hollywood Christianity, which is NO Christianity at all!
Christians Must Guard Against Heresy Sneaking into the Churches!
Revelation 2:2, “I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.”
God wants us to be like pit-bull dogs, standing guard for our Master, using the Sword of the Word of God to defeat the Devil. The false gospel message that Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort teach requires effort on the part of the sinner, effort to stop sinning. This is a false gospel rooted in self-righteousness!
Please understand that I am not criticizing nor condemning Kirk Cameron on a personal level. He seems like a very nice person. We are all guilty sinners according to God's Word (Romans 3:10). The purpose of this article is to bring attention to the false doctrine of Lordship Salvation. Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort go around teaching people that they cannot be saved unless they're willing to try really hard to stop sinning (which is their wrong understanding of the word repent). Yet, why is Kirk Cameron hobnobbing with Hollywood if that is the case? It just seems like a big contradiction with what they are teaching.
Neither of these men will criticize the demonic Catholic Church, nor any other false religion. It's because they don't want to lose supporters in my humble opinion.
And by the way, I'd like to say that I
absolutely hate Kirk Cameron's feminist biased 2008 movie, “FIREPROOF.”
The hypocritical film portrays the husband in the plot as being totally to
blame for the failing marriage, and that the wife has no faults at all. What
crap! The truth is that in every marriage, it takes two to tango. No one
spouse is ever totally at fault. In the movie, the film fails to criticize
the wife's sinful emotional connection with another man, which is how
adultery begins. Kirk Cameron has some warped spiritual values evidence by
this shameful film. Our ungodly, abortive child murdering, sodomite loving,
substance abusing, raunchy music video watching, satanic Hollywood lusting,
gossip seeking, God cursing, idolatrous, covetous, crooked and perverted
American culture of violence and death, loves to blame God, Christians and
men for everything. It's not all the man's fault! Women are as much to blame
in troubled marriages as are men! Don't judge your husband because he sins
differently than you!
Kirk Cameron and Pat Robertson Promote Each Other
Pat Robertson promotes Kirk Cameron on the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). Birds-of-a-feather flock together. These men are all Lordship Salvationists, teaching the same concept of being born-again as the Catholic religion does. Here is the false plan of salvation that is taught on CBN's website...
“We must trust Jesus Christ to forgive our sins and determine to obey Him for the rest of our lives. That way we can know God and find peace again.”
SOURCE: http://www.cbn.com/stepstopeace/index.aspx?intcmp=EVAN0003
Nowhere in the Bible are we taught that a sinner must “determine to obey him for the rest of our lives” to be saved. Pat Robertson teaches that a person must give their life over to Jesus Christ to be saved. Pat Robertson is teaching a false gospel. Eternal life is a free gift that you freely receive by faith in the Christ, the Son of God, Jesus Christ (John 3:16).
CBN sells products by Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, Mary Beth Chapman... it is tragic! It is apostasy! Creflo Dollar lives in a $1,000,000 mansion on 27 acres of land, flying all over the U.S. in a $5,000,000 personal jet, living extravagantly. Creflo speaks in demonic tongues, teaches a bunch of Charismatic heresies, and preaches a false prosperity gospel which 1st Timothy 6:5 says, “Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.” Pat Robertson and his too Club are big-time offenders, basing their entire hellish ministry on a health, wealth and prosperity false gospel... teaching that GAIN IS GODLINESS!
Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort hobnob with all these apostates, dipping their sails in Ecumenical compromise. They go around condemning everything who only has fail in Christ, but hasn't forsaken all to follow Jesus (which is a false gospel); yet they themselves are reprobate compromisers, soft on sin, silent about false religion, and more hateful of conflict than they are of evil. They're making a living, period. The Apostle Paul preached the truth and ended up poor, very poor.
