Members Miss Daisy Posted June 14, 2015 Members Share Posted June 14, 2015 Has anyone else ever heard of him? He's apparently an IFB preacher somewhere who's now getting attention due to his recent comments about Bruce Jenner and he denies Holocaust. I'll try to post link to what I received.www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=33519 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MatthewDiscipleOfGod Posted June 14, 2015 Members Share Posted June 14, 2015 He hates Jews more than Muslims. He is running a campaign to go out to Michigan and hand out a DVD to Muslims entitled "The Jews and Their Lies". He believes Jesus went to hell for 3 days. He seeks and thrives on controversy. He has a good view on the KJB and Calvinism but because of his other doctrines I cannot support him.

The problem is that the news stories call him a fundamental independent baptist, without mentioning the fact that the majority of independent baptists reject him as a nutter.They tar us all with the same brush.And I would say Satan wants it that way.

The media, driven by their father the devil, loves to link true followers of Christ with any radical nut they can.They have done a good job of linking the term "fundamentalist" with crazies and radicals and even extended it to attempts to tie true Christian fundamentalists to the likes of radical, terrorist Islamists which they also call fundamentalists.

Members John Young Posted June 15, 2015 Members Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I have watched Brother Steven Anderson for several years now and while I can and do disagree with several issues to which he holds to I will never stand with the wicked to condemn him or the Baptist church he pastors. I can and do count him as a Brother in the Faith and a man of honesty and character. Bro. Anderson is hardly "bible deficient" but just browsing or listening to just a few sermons he preaches (even if one disagrees with his conclusions) one can easily see that he strives to be very biblically accurate and consistent with his doctrine. I do not agree with the "News Article" sited above nor the many slanderous news articles like them on the net. They spend much time sensationalizing and twisting whatever he says for the simple fact that he is anti-Zionist and they are very pro-Zionist. He is hardly a "Jew hater" or anti-Semite but rather the condemns their claim that lost Jews or the followers of the false religion of Judaism can possibly be "the children of God". He contends that only Jews and Gentiles which have accepted Christ and have become Christians are children of God. He also points out that today's Jews and their religion is not the same one as portrayed in the bible.This "husky394xp" (Bryan Denlinger, you tube only / house church only guy) referenced in the news article also seems to have more serious problems then Anderson. His life's mission seems to be "expose" the problems of "IBF Churches" and his latest favorite is Brother Anderson. "husky394xp" will nitpick everything Anderson does (or which ever thing he is targeting) as wrong and then in unrelated videos will do or approve of the very same or similar thing! Additionally "husky394xp" is very contradictory across his biblical and other teachings depending on what he is targeting for "exposure". He is very dubious and I would not trust much of what this guy says about other people. Bryan Denlinger's videos: (https://www.youtube.com/user/husky394xp/videos).Everything Brother Anderson does is online and open for his church and anyone to critique for themselves. I do not expect everyone to like or agree with Steven Anderson but I would hope that the opinion formulated about him and his church is one born from honest reflection. If anyone wants to learn more about His stand on anything, instead of reading media garbage articles, they can see it all on his Church's website and on his YouTube channel here:http://www.faithfulwordbaptist.org/page2.html https://www.youtube.com/user/sanderson1611/videos Edited June 15, 2015 by John Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted June 15, 2015 Members Share Posted June 15, 2015 Steven also has a page, www.repentanceblacklist.com there, he lists a long line of people he considers to be heretics because they teach repentance from sin and faith toward God. my name is on that list, and I hope it stays there.

Members DaveW Posted June 15, 2015 Members Share Posted June 15, 2015 Anderson has a very long string of false teaching and that is from his own website as I pay little attention to news reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Young Posted June 15, 2015 Members Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Yep everyone has a black list these days. His just happens to be online,,,,, While I agree with Anderson on the technical nuances of Repentance of sin for salvation vs Repentance unto salvation, I think the issue is one of wording and is way overblown and a "blacklist" for the issue is not necessary particularly because many listed do believe and preach Salvation is by grace thru faith in Christ's work alone.

Denlinger's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFx45cyQJGU where he talks about Steven Anderson's latest movie. He seems to do a good job refuting it. Steven Anderson is an anti-dispensationalist who believes we should be stoning sodomites in the street. He agrees with Westboro Baptist about God hating fags. He is a post-trib believer that preaches repentance is a work. His wife has a blog that shows how wacky she is, conspiracy theorist who believes the government drugged the man that shot up that theater outside Denver. And after watching Bryan's hit-piece, I would have to believe Steve is a jew-hating anti-Semite. But yes, on the same beliefs I share with Steven Anderson, he does a very good job preaching the Bible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LindaR Posted June 15, 2015 Members Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Steven Anderson teaches Replacement Theology (just one of his false teachings). I don't understand why he can even call himself a Baptist. The majority of what he teaches isn't taught in IFB churches. I watched the video he recently made (Marching To Zion). This documentary is anti-semitic and anti-Israel...and the teaching of Replacement Theology is quite evident. I have "marked Steven Anderson" and will "avoid him" according to Romans 16:17. He's no Baptist. Edited June 15, 2015 by LindaR Attempted to unembed video but my attempt failed...watch it at your own discretion. robmac68 and Standing Firm In Christ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post Ukulelemike Posted June 15, 2015 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2015 I decided to go on his website and peruse one of his sermons on repentance. Its funny, to me anyways-he seems so against the idea that repentance can mean, repentance from sin. So then to prove the point that it doesn't always mean repentance from sin , so one might be saved, he uses the example of Paul preaching on Mars Hill, concerning the altar to the unknown god. And he says this:"But look when he is telling them to repent here, what is he telling them to repent of? He says look you are worshipping idols, your worshipping false gods, you think that this statue is god, the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent, he is telling them to repent or turn from worshipping of false gods. He says look your worshipping false gods, you need to worship the one true God, you need to repent and turn from false gods to the true God"So, repenting from worshiping false, multiple idols somehow ISN'T repenting from sin? And if they are repenting from worshiping false idols, what are they repenting TO? Worshiping the true God? How can they do that, except a part of it, is in that repentance, turning to Christ for salvation? Otherwise, it is really he, himself, that is encouraging a works-based salvation, because he seems to be implying here that to turn from worshiping false idols to worshiping the true God equate to salvation. No, what he is missing and actually proving himself, is that a necessary part of accepting the free gift of salvation, if the need to repent in one's heart of their sin-in this case, the sin of following false gods. But it is a heart repentance, a rejecting in their hearts of those false idols, to receive God as their God, Jesus as Saviour. That heart-repentance then will lead to the ACT of repentance as they actively cease following those false god and begin following their Saviour. So, in refuting the idea of repentance of sin to be saved, he actually proves it. He needs to place himself on his blacklist!Let's see what the Bible actually says about repentance and its connection to sin:"And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them. But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Luke 5:29-32) Seems clear here that Jesus was calling sinners to repent. of what? Idolatry only? No, in context, it would be repent from their sin, whatever they may be."I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." (Luke 15:7) Again, in Jesus' words, who repents? Sinners. Of what, well, clearly, their sins, because they are sinners. And this thought is repeated in verse 10, "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." There is no question left open as to what Jesus saw joy in repentance over : "SINNERS repenting." But by Mr. Anderson's (why do I hear this name in an ominous voice?) thinking, the only thing God expected anyone to repent about was worshiping false idols. Not sin, which apparently worshiping false idols...isn't? And again: "And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:46, 47) Here, again in the words of Jesus, we see repentance and remission of sins, inextricably joined together, which should be preached to ALL nations.I could go on, and I could even preach a great sermon full of explanations, but see, I don't need to explain it: the Bible is clear in its meaning concerning repentance: to be saved, a repentance of heart is necessary, which is NOT a work that makes one worthy of salvation, any more than a drowning man, upon seeing a life preserver flung to him, is worthy of his rescue because he decides to repent of being in the cold, miserable deep, and reaches for the preserver. We repent in heart, and once saved, THEN we do works meet for repentance (Acts 26:20), which is repentance in action. THESE are the works, which we now are able to perform through the power of the Spirit of God. Repentance of heart, which leads to salvation, and then repentance in action, works meet for repentance. Its not hard. robmac68, LindaR, Miss Daisy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He denies that 6 million Jews died in Hitler's holocaust. He tries to "rationalize" the entire scenario about the gas chambers. At the end of this video, Steven Anderson promotes a book "The Holocaust Hoax Exposed" by Victor Thorn. Victor Thorn also promotes the "conspiracy" theory that Israel was behind 9-11.
