Jesus is Lord Church

The Political Gospel

Question: Is Jesus Christ the LORD of Eduardo Villanueva?

Here are some introductions:

He often use books authored by questionable and controversial writers such as Chuck Swindoll
He claimed that he is bearing a cross in the Christian life (like losing in the presidential election?)
He preaches nothing of spiritual or Christian way of life although he uses a lot of Christian terms
He preaches an unclear and vague Gospel of salvation
He preaches a "God's plan of salvation" (socio-political gospel) that cannot save
He never preach about eternal security
He preaches more political issues that cannot save
He is admonishing people to stand agains evil without providing them the remedy, resources and and the only solution to human problems and miseries
He is interested with the political reform and national prosperity without real concern for the souls
He capitalize on the name of God in politics like the billionare Pat Robertson
He violates the divine establishment principles of submission to government
He professed as a man of God with title as Bishop minus the genuine concern for the souls
He preaches his own self-righteousness ("honest, not corrupt, prayerful and righteous unlike those in the government)
He claimed apostleship with vague description
He made prophecies that failed
He never build-up his people in the Word of God
He watered-down the Truth of the Scripture to make any cult feel welcome
His priority is not the Word of God but politics

In the Philippines, the Fundamentalists tagged him not only as nominal but as heretical for following basis:

He teaches and practices historical sign gifts of tongues, signs and wonders, and miracles
He prophesied
He teaches and practices healing
He is violating the priciples of separation of church and state
He is politically ambitious
He advocates resistance and activism against the government
He used the Christians, their resources in his political campaign
He used his ministries resources in political campaign
He is active in anti-government rally
He openly attack the government inciting the believers to despise their local rulers

Why he is love by many including those in politics?

His preaching is not different from Catholic devotional materials
He makes everyone comfortable with his praching just like Billy Graham
He preaches a vague Gospel that cannot saved souls
The finished work of Christ is not proclaimed
There is nothing the necessity of spirituality
The importance of Bible doctrine is set aside
The means of salvation is not declared

Anyone who is not particular with the predesigned plan of God is an effective tool in the hands of Satan for deception. Satan uses every human invention for deceiving people such in UFOs, ghost story, apparition, vision, unbiblical angels and his favorite, religion founded and invented by men.

Satan is not concern about anyone he is using, as long as they are willing to serve his purpose of distracting unbeliever from coming to true Gospel, and to distort or distract the believers from their spiritual advancment.

Satan has mastered the art of deception. The Jehovah's Witnesses are now using the phrase "you need to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior" or the Seventh Day Adventists are saying "one has to be born again". However, the question is, "Who is the Jesus Christ of the Witnesses" and "what is the born-again of the SDA"? This how Satan is using Eddie Villanueva in deceiving the people. This is how Pat Robertson, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyers, Eliseo Soriano are deceiving the people. They are all proclaiming a gospel that cannot save a soul.

Dotrinal Statement is deceitful. Some churches, organization or ministries "copied' their doctrinal statement from some Fundamentalist, however, their beliefs and practices are different. Others have vague, generalized and undefined doctrinal beliefs that play tricks on the unsuspecting. For this reason, the doctrinal statement cannot serve as the sole basis for apologetical evaluation. we have listened to their broadcasts, we have read their published articles to make unbias and unprejudice evaluation.

Apologetical evaluation is necessary nowadays because of the speedy downward trust of apostasy. Satan is feasting on Christians who are either doctrinally ignorant or spiritually immature because their pastor are not preaching the Truth.
