I know that this is an old post (it was the “random post” at the top of the page), but reading these comments reminds me of a sermon I heard from a visiting preacher during chapel my freshman year at my IFB college. He used that one verse, pulled completely out of context, to say how CCM, Christian Rock, new music, women wearing pants, etc., was bad for the cause of Christ and that you would fail as a soul-winner if you gave into them. The really sad thing was, this man was Mexican, pastored a church in Mexico, and did not speak any English. His son, who was a student at the time, had to translate the whole sermon for him! He preached for 2 days on the same verse. Later in the semester, I was reading for my Bible class and came across that verse. I was really upset when I found what that verse was really saying! I have to say, he was part of the reason I decided to take a break from FundyU that next year.
(Ironically, the second semester after I went back, I had is son, the one that translated, for my Elementary Spanish class.)

I remember that video. Jack was all about keeping women in their place and the whole Doctrine of Women’s Dress there in Hammond. *blech!* But the rest of the rant is still how I feel. I believe there are sincere believers in IFB churches who are blind to the error, idolatry of KJVO, and bondage to legalistic extra-biblical standards. The traditions of religion keep them blinded. That is why it takes a God’s grace to open blinded eyes and melt stone cold hearts. I know because I was once one of them, and my reality was watching the shadows on the wall just like they do.

Very, very well stated, Don. The video has been removed but I am sure it was disgusting and twitch inducing.

Wow. This is one of the best descriptions of getting out of it that I have ever read.

@JimE- You hit the nail on the head about why I distrust IBCs. There is no accountability, consequently plenty of opportunity for corruption and abuse. Yeah, yeah, I know, the pastor is “accountable” to the congregation who called him but IME an abusive or biblically ignorant pastor is almost never taken to task. Any time anyone, male or female, dares to say a word the rest of the congregation will come screaming down on them telling them not to abuse the “Lord’s anointed”. Which is why I’ve seen preachers in pulpits for 20 years in the same church. No one had the nerve to suggest that they be voted out.

I bet Schaap’s favorite song is “Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On”

Alison said that was the same message he preached at her HS graduation in 1990. Looks like he has it memorized pretty well. LOL.

This is a perfect example of preaching opinion and not bible. I grew up as an evangelists’ son, our family traveled for eight years and sang in hundreds of churches, all of which were BBF churches. i don’t know how many times I had to sit there and listen to this bullvine scatography!!!! These confused preachers better wake up, is it hour job to preach on salvation and what lies ahead without it, or do we continue to rant and rave about women wearing pants, or a man wearing his sideburns to long! It is absolutely rediculous.
