The Street Preaching Movement Exposed

This article will expose the street preaching movement and the serious heresies of many big-name street preachers, as well as go over the verses that many street preachers twist or take out of context to support their heresies (Note: this is NOT an attack against all street preachers, there are some street preachers that preach the correct gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ + nothing - nothing, not the self-righteous works based Catholic false gospel of salvation by Jesus Christ + continual holiness and righteousness that is preached by many big-name street preachers).

Common Bible verses that street preachers twist to try and back up the wicked nonsense they do on the streets:

Isaiah 58:1 - "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."

This is the most common verse that street preachers will use to try and defend the wicked nonsense they do on the street. Notice how the verse says "my people" and "the house of Jacob." This verse is back when the prophets dealing with the nation of Israel, this is NOT written to Christians in North America today. It's not commanding new testament Christians to go out and yell on the street.

Jeremiah 4:5 - "Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities."

Again, just like with Isaiah 58:1, this verse is NOT written to or about new testament Christians. This verse is back when the prophets were dealing with the nation of Israel, that is why the verse says "declare ye in Judah". North America is not Judah.

Bible verses that refute the concept of street preaching:

2 Timothy 2:24-26 - "But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will."

When street preachers go out and yell at people, it's gonna cause strife and contention. There are videos all over YouTube of street preachers getting into fights, big arguments, and often violent confrontations with sinners, they go out and cause strife and contention.

2 Peter 2:8-10 - "(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities."

The street preachers will go to sodomite pride rallies, satanist rock concerts, and other events that are very vexing. Any Bible Beliving Christian with the Holy Spirit of God inside of him would be disgusted by all the sin and filth that goes on at sodomite pride rallies etc. the fact that many street preachers can continually go to these types of events and not even appear grossed out is big problems.

The Catholic-like false gospel of many street preachers & the Bible verses they twist to teach it.

Many big-name street preachers preach a Catholic-like false gospel. Catholics believe that salvation is not a one-time event but a continual process of good works. Many big-name street preachers preach that you have to continue in holiness and righteousness in order to keep your salvation, salvation is not a one-time event where Jesus Christ washed away all your sins according to many big-name street preachers.

Common Bible verses that street preachers twist to preach their false gospel:

Matthew 24:13 - "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

This verse is not even written to Christians, Matthew 24-25 is dispensationally in the Time of Jacob's Trouble. During the Time of Jacob's Trouble, salvation is different, you still have to have faith, but you also can't take the mark of the beast (Revelation 14:9-11), you also have to bless the Jews (Matthew 25:31-40), that is why Matthew 24:13 says you have to "endure" to be saved. This is NOT written for Christians today in the Time of the Gentiles.

Hebrews 10:26 - "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

Just like Matthew 24:13, this verse is NOT written to Christians today in the Time of the Gentiles. Hebrews is written to HEBREWS (Jews), and it's dispensationally in the Time of Jacob's Trouble. The reason why Hebrews 10:26 says "if we sin willfully...there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins" is because if you sin by taking the Mark of the Beast you have zero chance of getting saved (Revelation 14:9-11). Hebrews 10:26 is NOT written to Christians in the Time of the Gentiles.

Hebrews 6:4-6 - "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."

Just like Hebrews 10:26, this verse is dispensationally in the Time of Jacob's Trouble. And just like Hebrews 10:26, when Hebrews 6:4-6 says "it is impossible to renew them to repentance" is because if somebody takes the Mark of the Beast they can't get saved. This is NOT written for new testament Christians today.

The heresy of conditional security:

A common heresy that many big-name street preachers will preach is conditional security, they will deny the eternal security of the believer and teach that salvation can be lost if we mess up in sin. This ties back to their false gospel of works. If you can lose your salvation it would mean that you are saved by works because salvation is dependant on you having to do things to keep yourself saved, instead of putting all your trust and faith in Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross to pay for your sins.

Common bible verses that the street preachers will twist to try and prove conditional security:

Galatians 5:4 - "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."

This verse is ripped out of context by the street preachers. The context of this verse is Paul telling the Galatians that we are not under the law. The Galatians were going back under the law and Paul tells them that Christ is no effect on them if they want to be justified by the law. If we were justified by the law than Christ died in vain (Galatians 2:21) and are not under God's grace, that is why Paul says "ye are fallen from grace." If they want to go back under the law, then Christ's sacrifice on the cross was in vain and they have fallen from grace. This verse is NOT talking about losing your salvation.

1 Timothy 4:1 - "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"

The context of this verse is talking about the falling away. When it says some shall depart from the faith, it's talking about false converts and people departing from biblical truth and believing heresies. This is NOT talking about someone losing their salvation.

1 Timothy 1:19-20 - "Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme."

When it says that Hymenaeus and Alexander were delivered unto satan, it's not saying they lost their salvation. A lost person doesn't need to be delivered unto Satan because Satan already has their souls. Sinning Christians are delivered unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, but the soul is still saved (see 1 Corinthians 5:5).

Bible verses that PROVE eternal security:

John 5:24 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

John 6:35 - "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."

John 6:39 - "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day."

John 10:28-29 - "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

John 17:11-12 - "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."

1 Corinthians 1:7-8 - "So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 - "Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."

Ephesians 1:13 - "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,"

Ephesians 4:30 - "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."

Conclusion:

This only covered some aspects of the street preaching movement, the bottom line is that many street preachers are preaching Roman Catholicism, their false gospel is identical to the false gospel of Roman Catholicism.
