Hey everybody, Pastor Steven Anderson here
from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona.
Just making a quick video to expose
one of the false teachers of our day,
a guy by the name of Pastor Greg Locke.
Now, the way that this guy gets his following
is that basically whatever is the trendy
or trending topic of the week
that's in the lame stream media
that everybody's talking about,
he'll basically put out a video on Facebook
about that subject, and basically he just takes
the exact popular Republican Party,
neo-con, conservative talk radio line,
he just repeats all their talking points,
and he makes these videos where he sounds like
he's really taking a hard stand
and he's really going out on a limb and being bold,
but in reality, he always says
what everybody agrees with, like half of America,
what all of the Republican talking points are.
Of course, the liberals aren't gonna agree with him,
but he's got a hundred some million people
agreeing with him and he acts like
he's taken some really controversial, bold stand.
For example, whatever the weekly subject is,
let's say the Target bathroom policy,
of course he's all over that,
or immigration or Islam,
but he's always just the neo-con talking head.
For example, when it came to a couple weeks ago,
there was a gospel singer that was canceled
from being on the Ellen Degenerate program.
Of course, he makes a video about that,
defending the singer and condemning Ellen.
Nobody stops and asks themself,
why would any Christian wanna be on
the Ellen Degenerate program in the first place
when she's this filthy sodomite?
But again, he just always is on the trendy trending issue
to just repeat what every Republican conservative
is already saying.
He's not really offering any real Bible teaching
or any deeper insight.
It's just repeating the same lame stream media crap
from a Fox News conservative type perspective.
But going back about 15 years ago,
I had heard of this guy
because I distinctly remember a conversation
that I had with brother Roger Jimenez.
We were young men back then,
and we were listening to different pastors and preachers
that we could find online.
And one time we were having a conversation,
this is over a decade ago,
where we were talking about different preachers
that we listened to, preachers that we liked.
And Greg Locke came up as being a guy
that neither of us liked.
And I remember Roger Jimenez,
his words were that, man, this guy sucks.
And I remember him just saying,
I don't understand why this guy gets invited to preach.
And we both disagreed that we didn't like his preaching
because this is back when Greg Locke
was an independent fundamental Baptist in those days.
And brother Jimenez and I,
we were independent fundamental Baptists.
And so we were downloading anything we could find
and listening to preachers.
We would drive to whatever conferences that were going on.
We were hungry for preaching.
We were young guys that wanted to learn more.
And I think brother Jimenez
might've even heard him preach in person,
if I recall correctly.
But we both definitely heard him online
and didn't care for him back then
when he was an independent fundamental Baptist.
Well, fast forward to now,
he's completely left
being an independent fundamental Baptist
and become just a non-denominational skinny jeans
wearing kind of a 50 year old or however old he is
that dresses like a teenager, right?
You know, these grown middle-aged men
who dress like teenagers
and they got the purple spotlights and the bar stool.
And they're just kind of the super liberal
non-denominational, man-pleasing, trendy type preachers.
So that's what he is now.
He's no longer a King James only
independent fundamental Baptist.
You know, frankly, he couldn't make it
as an independent fundamental Baptist.
And he obviously has no integrity.
He obviously doesn't really care what the truth is.
So he just wants to be popular.
So he's got this little shtick
where he comments on social issues
from a Fox News, neocon perspective
and pretends to be bold.
When in reality, he never takes a controversial stand
unless you call disagreeing with the Democrats
controversial.
So anyway, I just wanted to expose him
for basically teaching a false gospel,
teaching false salvation.
You know, truly the Bible says they went out from us
because they were not of us.
For if they had been of us,
they would no doubt have continued with us,
but they went out that they might be made manifest
that they were not all of us.
So yeah, even back
when he was an independent fundamental Baptist,
he was obviously just a fraud.
He was obviously just an infiltrator.
And once he figured out
that he couldn't gain the popularity that he wanted
as an independent fundamental Baptist,
because he just wasn't a very great preacher,
then he just defects over to the liberal non-denominational
worship style, skinny jeans, faggoty kind of style
of church.
So here's what he says on his doctrinal statement.
After he gives lip service
to the gospel being salvation by faith,
he says, salvation is truly everlasting life.
However, those who have trusted Christ are his
and will obey him and his word.
So you see, this is just a thinly veiled work salvation
when he says, those who've trusted Christ will obey him
and his word.
And then listen to the next statement.
This is the one that's the most telling.
We do not believe a person can live any way
they so desire and be saved.
You can't just live however you want and be saved.
So this is just a typical workspace salvation.
I've heard this at the door
when I was out soul winning more times
than I can even count where you just have people to,
well, you can't just live however you want
when they resist the truth
that salvation is by faith alone.
You know, apparently, according to Greg Locke
and these other false teachers,
believing in Christ isn't enough.
Even though the Bible says that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish but have eternal life.
Even though the Bible says that by grace
are we saved through faith, not of works,
but to him that worketh not,
but believeth on him that justified the ungodly.
His faith is counted for righteousness and on and on.
You know, they don't believe that because they say,
well, you can't just live however you want, you know?
And then they try to say,
well, you don't have to do works to be saved,
but if you don't do works, you're not saved.
So, you know, you have to do works
or we're gonna say you're not saved,
but the works don't get you saved,
but you just have to do them
because you can't just live however you want
and be saved.
And this, you know, it's just a doublespeak
that you'd expect from a politician like Greg Locke,
you know, who clearly listens to a lot more talk radio
and Fox News than he listens to the word of God.
So you'd expect this kind of doublespeak
from a guy who wants to please man.
You'd also expect a guy in his 50s
or however old he is to dress like a teenager
because he's trying to please man.
He's trying to be cool.
He's trying too hard.
Well, this is not the gospel.
The gospel is that if you believe on Jesus Christ,
you shall be saved, period.
Faith alone plus nothing minus nothing.
Now, if you actually really analyze this statement,
you'll see how it makes no sense
because in one breath he's saying,
well, those who trusted Christ will obey him.
So he's acting like, well, if you're saved,
you'll automatically do the right things
because you're a new creature
and so because you're a new creature,
you're gonna do all the right things.
You're gonna obey him and his word,
but then in the next breath, he says,
we don't believe a person can live any way
they so desire and be saved.
You can't live however you want and be saved,
the typical talking point.
We've all heard from unsaved people
when we're out soul winning,
but the thing that doesn't make any sense about that
is that if supposedly according to him,
you're just this new creature
that just obeys Christ automatically
because now you're saved.
So you're just a new creature.
You're gonna do everything right.
The old man has just passed away.
Okay, well then why would you desire to do wrong?
He's saying, well, you can't live how you want.
It's like, well, according to you,
I should just always wanna do the right thing
because I'm just transformed
into just this obedient person
just by believing in Christ.
See this kind of doublespeak, it doesn't make any sense.
It's a false doctrine because yeah,
God did create in us a new creature, the new man,
but we still have the old man with us
and if you're mixed up on this doctrine,
listen to my sermon called the new man
versus the old man where I take like an hour
and go through all the scriptures to debunk this nonsense.
But the short answer is, yeah, that's right.
Old things are passed away, all things are become new.
That's talking about the new creature, the new man,
but we still have the flesh.
We still have the old man.
Yeah, when I got saved, there's a new Steven Anderson,
but the old Steven Anderson is still there also
and there's a battle every day
between the flesh and the spirit,
the old man versus the new man.
So this kind of talk about,
well, you can't live however you want and still be safe,
is a thinly veiled works salvation.
And in his statement of faith,
he gives lip service to salvation by faith
and he teaches this workspace model.
Why?
Because he just wants to please man.
He just wants to get all the Republicans
and whoever conservative quote unquote Neocons to follow him.
This guy's a false teacher.
He's a false prophet.
Whosoever is deceived by him is not wise
and so don't get sucked in by Greg Locke
for his workspace salvation.
God bless.
Have a great day.
