 How is it that I'm able to go into the scripture to strip them down? That's right As using fractions break them down for the lowest common denominator. That's right My divine skill was godly given but you question me about this God of heaven That's right. What's to me about his law? Pick up any subject you want to talk about in the Bible? That's right and say if the God of heaven don't drop me in it take it apart Split the atom and show you the nucleus of it Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I want to look the part, to act the part, to speak the part, and to convince everyone that sees them or watches them or listens to them that they actually are something that they are not. How was that possible? Well, I'll tell you in a minute, but I'll also let you know why I think this same analogy applies to one Gino Jennings. Some time ago, there was a woman who shows up at a police briefing about a murder suspect and this woman is giving sign language. The interesting thing about her giving sign language is the fact that she wasn't giving sign language. There were some things that she was signing that were actually signs, legitimate signs, but for the most part it was, in other words, sign language gibberish. This time it was at the police news conference announcing an arrest in the Tampa serial killings. We will be charging four counts of first degree murder. Standing off to the side, apparently translating every word this woman. We received over 5,000 tips in this case. But it turns out much of what she was signing was nonsense. How could it possibly be that someone who doesn't know how to sign could be hired to give sign at a professional police briefing? So how did she come to be translating at last week's high profile police news conference? I just didn't ask enough questions. The only way that can occur is if the people who hire her did not know sign language themselves. And that's exactly what happens. The same thing holds true for a lot of preachers today who would get up and will fool the masses. They look like, they sound like, they act like someone who really knows how to carefully and correctly handle the word of God. How to divide it rightly. They have the right voice inflection. They can quote scripture. They can make certain things apply. As a matter of fact, they will even throw in some truth just like this lady who is signing. Some of the things that she said was actually sign languages. But under the careful scrutiny of people who actually do sign language, who know sign language, it was easy for them to detect. The same thing holds true for genogenics. He looks like the part. He sounds like the part to a lot of people. But upon careful observation, when you notice that a lot of the people who actually follow him don't know a lot about the scripture or at least enough to see where this man is wrong. Does he say some things that are true? Yes, he does. There's some things that he says that I would agree with him wholeheartedly. But the problem is, one, how he portrays himself. But then two, the error that comes along with his doctrine. Gino Jennings calls himself an apostle one who was sent by God. God wasn't the last one. No. Hallelujah. Glory to God. How you doing? No. You want to know how I became one? God appeared unto me. Amen. Hallelujah. God did. Hallelujah. I said, God Almighty appeared unto me and spoke to me like He did, brother Paul. And so because of that, I had no choice but to judge him by the standards that are given to us by the other apostles. You know, Peter, Paul, all the guys that have written in the Bible who were inspired to write the Bible who were sent by God to certain people, to certain groups, those apostles. And so that's the standard that I'll judge him by since he says that he was also in that same line. Everybody in the church is not apostles. No. That's right. And if everybody in the church is not apostles, then everybody in the church don't have the authority of the apostles. That's right. And if everybody in the church is not apostles, then everybody don't have the knowledge of the apostles, they'll have the revelation of the apostles, they'll have the insight like the apostles. That's right. It's not me that called him an apostle. It's him. And so I'll hold him to that high level scrutiny. But if we find that he's lacking, well then we've got to also judge him the way that the Bible says that we ought to judge a false apostle. We are told in 2 Timothy 3 that in the last days there will come times of difficulty for people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy. Now let me stop there for a second. It doesn't mean that such people that he's describing will fulfill every last one of these. That they'll know what it means is that he's just giving an indication of some of the traits that these people will also have among them. He's just giving a list of some of the traits that we can look for for some of these false teachers. And so when we look at Jennings, is he arrogant or proud? And I thank God that now I'm here. That's right. And some don't like the idea that I'm here, but God sent us. Does he seem to love himself? I know they have never heard nothing like this. I get thousands of letters with that quote. About Jennings, I've never heard nothing like it. One man wrote me in his 80s. He said, I've been living 83 years, I've never heard a man like you. That's right. This is the only program that's over the air to lead you to God the right way. And is he swollen with conceit? Yes. Greater work. Then these shall he do. Yes. I did more work than the Son of God. But verse five really is the kicker says having a form of godliness, but denying its power. So what is the power of God? Well, the power of God is most revealed in salvation in the fact that what he has done, it is thorough and complete. And there's nothing else left to be done. Once a person is actually saved, they are saved. And so obviously, Jennings has a problem with this whole doctrine. And I think what it really is, is the fact that he's not really sure on what the doctrine means. You leave God, God's going to leave you. That's right. That once saved always saved is trash religion. And the spirit of God came upon him as a riot. I said that once saved always saved is a religious trash teaching. Yes it is. It's deception. That's right. There is no such thing as once saved always saved. You leave God? Yeah. God's going to leave you. While. The Lord is with you. While. During the time. Ye be with him. You're with him. And? If you seek him. If you seek him. He will be found of you. He'll let you find him. But? What? What? What? What? But. If he forsake him. Amen. When you forsake a thing, you leave it. That's right. If you leave him. He will forsake you. He leaving you. Oh yes. Well, I agree for the most part that a Christian, a true Christian, someone who is in Christ is never going to walk away in the first place. A real Christian will abide. You must abide. You must remain. You must bear fruit. And I believe that a Christian will do so. Now, because we disagree on that point, does that make him a false teacher? Does that mean he's someone that we ought to shun? Well, no, not necessarily, but the fact that he calls himself an apostle and we're judging him by the same standard as the other apostles. You can't get this wrong, especially when you call yourself an apostle. We have talked about this before why I say it is definitive that a person who has truly believed, who has truly placed their faith in Christ, they become saved at that moment and that salvation can never be taken away. As a matter of fact, I've given a rule in Greek that states that, where Jesus states that it is literally impossible based on the Greek rendering for anyone who have lost their salvation. One such passage is found in John chapter four. When he's speaking to the woman at the well, he says, but whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Speaking of the Holy Spirit. And so he uses this in fattening negation, this Ume Dipsese, which is they will never, ever, ever, ever, ever be thirsty under any circumstances, under anything that is going to happen in the future, meaning that they cannot walk away. That also entails that they will never stop believing. There's no future acts that they will do that will cause them to thirst again or to lose their salvation. Similarly, we see the same thing in John chapter 11 verse 26. He says, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Look at what he says. Those who believe is the Pistuan, those that are believing, and we've stated before that Christians enter into a state of continual believing, which is why he used the present active participle believing, the believing ones. He says of them says they shall never die. And there we see that rule again, this double negation in front of a subjunctive, this Ume Apatane, which means literally they shall never, ever, ever die based on any future acts, meaning again, they will never walk away. They will never stop believing. They will never leave him. And he obviously he will never leave them. But he denies that again. The reason for the harshness is that he calls himself an apostle. And this is not something that a true apostle would misunderstand. One of the other doctrines or one of beliefs that Gino Jennings espouses is that in order to be genuinely saved, you must be baptized one in the name of Jesus, meaning someone who is baptizing you must verbally state as you're being baptized in physical water for salvation in Jesus name. They cannot say out of their mouth in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In other words, it's not only is it dependent upon your works that is being physically baptized in water, but it's also dependent upon their works. If they say the wrong words, well then you're not baptized in the correct way. Charles, I heard you preach this, Charles. I was watching you one Sunday morning and you even demonstrated you had some men in the baptismal pool of your church and they baptized and said in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Now, viewers, let's go to school. Who do you know named Father? Who do you know named Son? God is the Holy Ghost, but that's not his name. That's a function. So, viewers, when the preacher say I therefore baptize this candidate. He's telling you he's going to do it in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the blessed Holy Ghost. Then he baptized you and bring you up. You just wet. I'm waiting for you to say that name. Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ. That's the name not one. Person in the Bible got baptized and the preacher said over him, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. But then secondly, just a careful examination of what is meant by in the name of. It is based upon either a epi epionoma into on a mighty different variations that we'll see in the Greek. And all it really means is that baptized based on the authority or according to Jesus. The word name in Greek onoma means not only just name or nomenclature, but it also means reputation based on what you have done or doing, which is why baptizing or why in the name of Jesus is the same as in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Think about it. Jesus makes a statement to baptize him in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Well, the interesting thing is no one ever does it. You mean to tell me that Jesus gives a command that none of his disciples follow and we hear nothing about it? Well, it's because to do so in the name of Jesus is the same as doing it in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And oh, by the way, it's not water baptism that he's referring to either because that's not what saves us. But again, this is something that a person who says they were sent by God, who is a true apostle of Jesus as he states, should know these things. Now, what goes along with that is that once a person is baptized in water in Jesus' name to be saved, then that person, the evidence of them that will receive the Holy Spirit and the evidence of that will be them speaking in tongues. Well, Gino also has a bad understanding of tongues. Now, there's many of you preachers that's listening to me now. Tell the people, you don't have to speak in tongues. You're a liar and a blasphemer. And a blasphemer. That's right. Acts chapter two is a blasphemer. But before I get to his misunderstanding of tongues and that that has to be there, he makes a statement that all believers, all those who do believe will speak in tongues. And he references Mark chapter 16 verse 16, 17 says, and these signs shall follow them that believe. Well, what will happen to believers? They shall speak in new tongues. The reason why church fights speaking in tongue, because they don't believe it. If you don't believe it, the sign won't follow you. Speaking in tongue is only for the believer. These signs shall follow them. Shall follow them that believe. The problem, though, that's been stated that in Mark chapter 16, we see the longer version that's there. However, the overwhelming majority of Greek scholars, the one majority of textual critics will state that they do not believe that the longer in the of Mark 16 actually belongs. But let's leave that alone. Let's just say it does. No problem. That's blaspheme against the Holy Ghost. That's right. For Jesus said these signs shall follow them. Them that believe shall speak in my name. That's right. Hallelujah. They know what he says. That's right. And these signs shall follow them. That's right. In my name, they shall speak with new tongues. The problem is that Geno Genes himself doesn't even follow Mark chapter 16. Verse 16 says, whoever believes and is baptized. So the one that's believing and is baptized will be saved. But whoever does not believe will be condemned. Notice what it does say, though, and what it doesn't say. It does say that the one who does not believe will be condemned, but it does not say that the one who is not baptized will be condemned. Interesting to note that. But also let's keep reading. It says in verse 17, and these signs will accompany those who believe. So the believing ones, those who believe these signs will accompany and will accompany in my name. They will cast out demons. Now, now there's that phrase again in my name. And look what it says. It says into on a mighty move, which, which is in my name. He's clearly not saying that in the name of Jesus, you have to speak in these tongues that that has to proceed out of your mouth. First, which references back to how he says a person has to be baptized. But let's continue so I can make my bigger point, which is he says that these signs will accompany those who believe in my name. They will cast out demons and they will speak in new tongues and they will pick up serpents with their hands. And if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. And they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. Gino seems to only focus on the fact that they will speak in these languages. But what about the other things that Gino doesn't seem to do? At least there's no record, no account. Someone who has had demons, he will cast out demons out of them. And it says also that he will, Gino will pick up serpents with his hands. We can skip the part of it if he drank because the word is if there is place there. But also says that he will lay hands on the sick and the sick will recover. These aren't things that Gino Jennings does. And then we'd have at least we have no proof of those. And so to make the statement that this is prescriptive of a person that believes Gino, then you need to also do all of them, not just one of the of the list, but all of that. But now, going back to the issue of this tone, he has stated that a believer will speak in tongues. If you believe you will speak in tongues. Well, let's just see if the scriptures bear that out. He references chapter 10 of Acts. But every place where the Holy Ghosts fail, they speak in tongues. That's right. You better take a journey in the book of Acts of the Apophels now when they receive the gift of the Holy Ghosts. Let's see what was the evidence that they had this Holy Ghost. Acts chapter 10. Listen, and at verse 44, let's just let's go to chapter 10 of Acts and see if that even backs up what he's stating. This is the account of the Gentiles believing in chapter 10, verse 40, forces while Peter was saying these things. Still, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. And the believers from among the circumcised, though that being the Jews who had come with Peter were amazed. Why? Because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. For they were hearing them speaking in tongues, which is languages, and extolling God. Then look at verse 47. Can anyone with whole water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have? So notice the order. They received the Holy Spirit and spoke in these languages. Then they were baptized. But that's the opposite of what Gino has stated, that you must be baptized in the name of Jesus, receive the Holy Spirit that thereby being saved. And then the evidence of that will be you speaking in tongues, speaking in these languages, of course. Now, Gino has this misunderstanding also of what tongues are, believing that there are unknown tongues, other tongues and new tongues. The book says other tongues. The book says new tongues. The book says unknown tongues. That's right. Three titles talking about the same tongue. That's right. Why is it a new tongue? Because it's new to me. I never spoke before. That's right. Why is it another tongue? Because it's different from my native tongue. That's right. Why is it an unknown tongue? Because I don't have the ability to interpret. The Scriptures is the book of tongues. He's missing that whole issue, that whole understanding of tongues. I won't go into that. I would just simply refer you to some of the teachings that we've had on tongues. But when he makes a statement that everyone who believes in the New Testament enacts that they all spoke in tongues. But every place where the Holy Ghost fell, they speak in tongues. Well, it doesn't take it doesn't take long to find out. Wait a minute. Here are examples of people who believed, who were added to the church, who did not speak in tongues. One place we can start and see is in Acts chapter two on the day of Pentecost. Verse 38, he says, And Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord God calls himself. And with many other words, he bore witness and continued to exhort them saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation. So those who received his word were baptized and they were added that day about 3000 souls and they devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and the fellowship to the breaking of bread and prayers. And all came upon every soul and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles and all who believe were together and had all things in common. So what's missing? The fact that they were the fact that they spoke in these languages, they did not. We don't at least we don't have a record of that. But that's not the only case. Let's look at some other examples. In Acts 1312, we see the procounsel who believed and when he saw what had occurred for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord. But there is no mention of him speaking in tongues. What about Acts 838? We have the Ethiopian eunuch and he says, and he commanded the chair to stop and they both went down into the water. Philip and the eunuch and he baptized him. However, what's missing, since it's so important, no mention of him speaking in these languages. We look again in Acts 1348 where it says, and when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord and as many as were pointed to eternal life believed. Again, no mention of those people who believed, speaking in these languages. There's even more speaking of Lydia in Acts 16 verse 15. And after she was baptized and her household as well, she urged us saying, if you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay and they prevail upon us. But there's no mentioning of her speaking in these languages. Same thing going on in chapter 16 with the jailer, him believing. And then there'd be no account of him speaking in tongues of these languages. And so why this is very important, guys, because again, we've got people out here who want to be something, want to be somebody, want to be something special, just like Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8. Him wanting to be something special, even wanting to buy the power of the Holy Spirit, because he was used to being something before Philip showed up. And then ultimately when Peter and John showed up to Samaria. And so he wanted that. Well, that same thing is occurring now. There are many men out there, not just, you know, Jennings, but many men who want to be something special, who will tell you that there's something special. It'd be one thing if others were saying it. And there are some that do really love Geno Jennings, but they love him probably no more than he loves himself. God sends a preacher in the midst of darkness, in the midst of a sinful world to reflect the light of God. That's right. That's why if you look in the heaven, notice some stars differ in glory. That's right. Wrist in the divine solar system, call the church. Go ahead. The stars differ in glory. That's why he said he had said some firsts of pasta. That star twinkle bright. That's right. It reflect God's bright. That's right. Let's cross. Go ahead. Certainly teach us. See in England. That's right. But see if there's different stars. That's right. Affected by the same sun. That's right. Wonderful. There is one glory. Listen. In 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 40. There is one glory. Of the sun. Of the sun. And another glory. And another glory. Of the moon. Of the moon. And another glory. And another glory. Of the stars. Of the stars. For one star. One star. Differing from another star. Another star. In glory. In glory. That's right. And that's the way it is among ministers. That's right. They differ. Differ. One from the other. That's right. In function. That's right. In wisdom. In knowledge. In depth. In ability. In skill. And again, I would have as big a problem if he had bad doctrine but didn't call himself an apostle. Did not make himself out to be something great. That might be a little bit different. But because he does, I've got to judge him accordingly because he holds himself as someone up above the average person. And because of that, I think that that type of person, that type of man is extremely dangerous. You combine bad doctrine that we've easily gone over and seen where he was wrong with arrogance, where then we've got a problem. And so for that reason, that kind of person, that kind of teaching needs to be exposed as often as possible. And someone's going to say, why don't you debate and why don't you talk to him? Well, again, Gino's not taking debates. He's not talking to anyone, which is fine. And the issue is not to deal with him. But the issue is to warn the brethren of these false apostles. Amen.
