Harold Camping gets the Skull and Crossbones Award for being a deceiver in various ways. He not only spreads once saved always saved, but is again predicting the end. This time he is saying it will be in 2011. Regarding the former he taught:

Since Christ paid for all our sins, there is no way that we could commit a sin that would cause us to lose our salvation (God’s Magnificent Salvation Plan, 1995, p. 66, emphasis mine).

Paul certainly knew Jesus paid for all of our sins, but didn’t discount spiritual death through sin for those who had been born again. The real grace teacher knew salvation could be lost and taught others this:

For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, (Rom 8:13)

For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. (Eph 5:5-7)

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Gal 6:7-9)

2011 False Prophecies

Regarding 2011, Harold Camping responds to a questioning caller about his new false prophecies on the 12-09-2009 Open Forum broadcast:

To listen, click here.

Caller: I have a hard time believing that May 21, 2011 and October 21, 2011 is going to happen. Is this the wrath of God or what? You know, I don’t know what to think.

Camping: Well, the program is, and we know what it is. God has revealed his time line to us. On May 21, that is, of 2011, that’s the first day of the day of judgment and it is also the day, the last day of salvation anywhere on planet Earth because all of the true believers will be caught up to be with him. And then the day of judgment will extend itself for five months. We learn that from Revelation chapter 9....

Camping: Well, this earth has to come to an end. And that five months period is the period of the final wrath of God on this Earth and on October 21, 2011, it will never, never exist again. It will be totally annihilated. It’ll never be remembered or come into mind again but all of those who are, who were true believers will be with Christ and Christ says he will bring to pass a new heaven and a new earth. It’s a whole brand new adventure, adventure for those people. And it’s a grand and glorious thing because it’ll never, never involve sin again....

Harold Camping is a heretic and false prophet. Do NOT be deceived by him. GOD BLESS YOU.
