Hey everyone, Brother Ben here with a quick video. It's always great when something
happens anecdotally that further validates the Word of God. And I want to
provide you with a case study here that I think is an example of 2 Timothy
chapter 3 verse 9, which of course says, "...but they shall proceed no further, for
their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was." This is speaking
about reprobates in this particular chapter, and a reprobate is somebody who
hates and rejects the Lord to the point that God rejects them, gives them over to
a reprobate or rejected mind. And what happens with these people oftentimes is
if they're a Judas-type reprobate, they might give lip service to the right
doctrine, lip service to the right gospel, but eventually their folly is going to
be manifest unto all men. Eventually the damnable heresies are going to come out,
the heresies are going to come out, you know, it's going to happen. You just have
to give it time. And Bo Ballard is an example of this. Now if you don't know
who Bo Ballard is, I don't blame you, because he's a pathetic loser, nobody
cares about him, nobody likes him, he doesn't have any normal friends. Obviously
the only people who do like him are just freaks, but no one normal actually likes
this guy. He was thrown out of Stedfast Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, the
church plant in Oklahoma City, for being a malicious slanderer and liar. He calls
my pastor a wolf. He thinks large portions of the new IFP aren't even saved,
including pastors. You know, the guy basically is a total psychopath, mentally
ill, and you know, he's lost his mind. But the thing is, his slandering is not
limited just to good men. The guy hates Jack Hyles and all kinds of really great
pastors. His slandering isn't limited to just good men, but also the gospel itself.
This is what he said on a public post on Facebook. He said, quote,
LOL, and by the way he's talking to a oneness heretic, okay? When you're making
a oneness twerp look somewhat normal, that is really bad, okay? That says a lot
about you. But he says, LOL, have you been completely ruined by the NIFB and its
lies? What do you think repent means? Well, what do you think repent means, Bo?
Because apparently it doesn't mean to turn from unbelief to belief. Apparently
it doesn't mean change your mind anymore. Bo Ballard is messing with the
definition of repentance. I guess now it means something different, according to
him. What do you think repent... I don't know, what do you think it means, buddy? He
says, do you believe that if a person simply agrees to a bunch of biblical
facts and declares it with a prayer that they're saved? Now here we have the
classic straw man against the gospel of Jesus Christ. People who believe in a
work salvation oftentimes will smear the gospel as an intellectual assent to
facts. Now here's the thing, we don't believe that an intellectual assent to
facts is going to get anybody saved. An atheist can acquiesce to a certain set
of facts about Jesus, about the Bible, and not actually be saved because
they're not trusting in Jesus Christ for salvation. And Bo knows this. This is a
guy who claimed to do 75% of the soloning in his church or some
ridiculous number like that, so he knows that when we go out soloning we
emphasize that people have to turn from trusting in their works or trusting in
some other false god and instead place 100% of their faith and trust and rely
and depend on Jesus Christ for salvation. And he knows we emphasize that when we
go door knocking because he's done that and according to him he did 75% of the
soul winning, so he's heard other people's presentations and things like
that. He knows what we preach at the door. So he's either deliberately lying,
okay, which you know everything the guy says is a lie so it would make sense if
that's what he was doing, or he doesn't know what believe means himself. He might
not understand what the definition of believe is. He doesn't know that believe
means trust, so when we tell people they have to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
for salvation of course what we mean by that is they have to trust Jesus to take
them to heaven. That's what we teach when we go out soloning. And of course
he's slandering and straw manning our position here, knowing full well that
that's not what we actually teach. So either he's lying or he doesn't know what
believe is, you know, actually means or both. So let's keep going. He says I
don't believe they are. I believe it takes the work of the Holy Spirit for a
man to be born again and when we make salvation nothing more than an
intellectual transaction we prevent repentance. So I guess he's been
listening to Jeff Bourbon and James White because this is what they would
say. This is their argument right here. This definitely reeks of Calvinism.
Perverting repentance because we go out and tell people that they have to
believe in some facts and then they're saved. No, we tell people they have to
trust Jesus Christ to take him to heaven. That's what we actually preach at the
door. Are there not examples of people who believed in the right God yet he
never knew them? Yeah, there are examples of that. You're one of them, Bo. You're an
example of someone who ascends to the existence of God and yet is gonna split
hell wide open. So thank you for providing yourself as a wonderful
example of this little situation here. He says you don't have to follow Jesus to
be saved but I'll tell you this for certain, when I got saved I acknowledged
that Jesus Christ had the right to tell me how to live. So he's implying that we
don't believe Jesus has the right to tell people how to live. How do you even
respond to something like that? That's like saying, you know what, unlike the new
IFB, I believe in the virgin birth. And it's like, we believe in the virgin birth.
Unlike the new IFB, I believe the deity of Christ. We believe in the deity of
Christ. Unlike the new IFB, I believe the King James Bible is the Word of God. Yeah,
we do too. We believe that Jesus has the right to tell you how to live your life.
We just don't believe that you have to obey the commandments of Christ to go to
heaven. And so what he's doing here is he's saying you don't have to follow
Jesus to be saved but I'll tell you this for certain, when I got saved I
acknowledged that Jesus has the right to tell me what to do. Almost as if you have
to want to do that which is right or try to do that which is right rather. You
have to try to do that which is right or else you're not really saved. And let me tell you
where he's teaching a total work salvation. It's coming up right here. I
don't believe anyone gets saved without acknowledging Jesus Christ as both
Savior and Lord. That is lordship salvation. This is not what he means. He
doesn't mean you have to believe Jesus is God. What he means is you have to make
him Lord of your life. And this is the classic rhetoric of somebody who would
say oh you got to make sure Jesus is Lord of your life. You got to make him
Lord. Look we don't make Jesus Lord. He is Lord whether you believe it or not
because he's God manifest in the flesh. And the thing is what he's teaching is
that you have to obey Jesus and if you don't really obey Christ, if you don't
make him Lord of your life, if you don't acknowledge him as Lord, make him Lord of
your life and obey him then you're not really saved. And he's gonna claim
otherwise but it's a denial of reality. That's what these people do. I didn't
really mean that. Look it doesn't matter. Your teaching works. He says the Jesus
Christ who's not Lord isn't the Jesus of the Bible. That's the Jesus of Stephen
Anderson in the new IFP. So anyone who's normal would go well hold on a minute
it's not like the new IFP denies the deity of Christ. That's because that's
not what he's talking about. He's talking about how we don't believe in a
lordship salvation. We don't believe that if somebody doesn't necessarily follow
the commandments and do good works that you know they were never saved or
something like that. That's what he believes. Okay that's what he means when
he says that it's a work salvation is lordship salvation. The guy's obviously a
devil, an arrogant, narcissistic punk. And the thing is he's been slandering good
man for months and months and months publicly. Now he's messing with the
gospel so he deserves to get punched in the nose. Of course I mean that
figuratively although I wouldn't necessarily cry about it if it happened
physically to him. But look give reprobate time and they're gonna come
out with all kinds of weird stuff. That's the point of this video. He goes on he
says no man can tell you how to be born again. We can only tell you who to go. I'm
not even sure what that means. Being born again is that of the spirit. So no man
can tell you how to be saved. No man can tell you how to be born again. So I
guess the Philippian jailer when he asked Paul and Silas what must I do to
be saved according to the Bo standard version the answer should have been
we can't tell you buddy. It's a work of the Spirit. Can't tell you. Sorry you
either picked by God or you're screwed. And this is just hardcore Calvinist
verbiage here from this guy. So you know it's work salvation it's lordship
salvation Bo Ballard is an unsaved devil and I pray that God shuts his mouth and
sends him quickly to hell before he infects other people with this poison
with this garbage. Here's the thing it just further validates the scriptures
when you see things like this happen. No one cares about Bill Ballard obviously
but just in general when you see examples like this you know you meet a
sodomite for example you encounter a sodomite out stolen and they want
nothing to do with the Bible nothing to do with the gospel. Hey just further
validates Romans 1 and when you see a guy who was thrown out for being a total
psychopath an obvious reprobate now come out with lordship salvation which you
know he didn't preach before and now all of a sudden believes it now and is
promulgating it now on on his Facebook it just further proves 2nd Timothy
chapter 3 verse 9 their folly shall be manifest unto all men just give it some
time folks so if you were on the fence about this guy if you knew who he was
maybe you went to steadfast OKC and you were kind of on the fence on whether or
not he's saved weren't ready to declare him unsaved just yet hopefully this
video is enough evidence for you to realize yeah the guy is a devil and he's
gonna split hell wide open so beware of Bo Ballard if you see him on Facebook or
in the YouTube comment section anywhere just run the other direction it's not
even worth engaging with the guy because he'll just deny reality I'm sure he'll
comment on this video claim oh I don't you're misrepresenting me but they deny
reality this is the playbook of the spiritual Democrat no they'll just sit
there go I'm not wearing glasses right now yes I know that I'm I'm I have
glasses on my face but I'm not actually wearing glasses right now I am NOT
wearing glasses right now I am NOT nodding my head right now you are
misrepresenting me you are you are a railer I am NOT nodding my head I am NOT
wearing glasses that's what they do and when somebody has shown themselves to be
a reality denier when you both look up at the sky and they with a straight face
claim that the sky is green just don't bother engaging with them just expose
them and move on with your life and so that's what's going on here thanks for
watching everybody hopefully Bo Ballard just gets destroyed by God have a good
one and I'll talk to you guys again after a while
