Who is Paul Washer? In a nutshell, Paul Washer is just another Calvinist. We need know nothing else. Because Paul Washer adheres to the teachings of John Calvin, and exalts George Whitefield and the cigar-smoking Charles Spurgeon, he shows himself to be misled and is leading others astray. Paul Washer (born in 1961 and former Baptist missionary to Peru) is also the minister of his gospel at HeartCry Missionary Society. So what does that entail? Read it for yourself from his doctrinal statement:
Those whom God has accepted in the Beloved, and sanctified by His Spirit, will never totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere to the end; and though they may fall, through neglect and temptation, into sin, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impair their graces and comforts, bring reproach on the Church, and temporal judgments on themselves, yet they shall be renewed again unto repentance, and be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS.
That is spiritual poison. Paul Washer believes in
once saved always saved like Ray Comfort, R. C.
Sproul and others. Paul Washer has a zeal, but it is
not based on knowledge. Paul Washer will try to
convince you, as all eternal security proponents
do, that once a person becomes regenerated he
will forever remain a child of God, even if he terribly
backslides. The Calvinism he embraces cites
King David as an example of an elect person who
has backslid into adultery and murder! According
to their dangerous doctrinal fairytale, David supposedly
retained his salvation, which means you will too,
even if you stray to that degree! ALL Calvinists, including Paul Washer, believes the elect are described in the following paragraph from their Westminster Confession, Chapter 17, section 3:
Nevertheless, they may, through the temptations of Satan and of the world, the prevalency of corruption remaining in them, and the neglect of the means of their preservation, fall into grievous sins; and, for a time, continue therein: whereby they incur God's displeasure, and grieve His Holy Spirit, come to be deprived of some measure of their graces and comforts, have their hearts hardened, and their consciences wounded; hurt and scandalize others, and bring temporal judgments upon themselves.
That paragraph actually cites King David as an example, thus implying (as stated earlier) the adulterous and murderous can have salvation. Such a doctrine opens the door for all other forms of
wickedness. To Calvinists there are Christian adulterers, Christian murderers, Christian thieves, Christian swindlers, etc. Sometimes Calvinists, like Paul Washer, teach their message to present the illusion of teaching holy living for salvation to dupe the unwary. Reader, don't be deceived! ALL eternal security teachers are laying a deadly snare before your feet. Paul Washer is no exception. KNOW THIS: PAUL WASHER DOES NOT TEACH HOLY LIVING FOR SALVATION BECAUSE HE BELIEVES KING DAVID RETAINED HIS SALVATION WHEN IN ADULTERY AND MURDER.Paul Washer is just another victim of Calvinism, but at the same time he is leading others astray. To support his “mission” work is to spread once saved always saved at the same time and share in the wicked work of that teaching (2 Jn 9-11).
Paul Washer, you are teaching the devil's lie that the righteous can not die spiritually through sin (Gen. 3:4). I challenge you to a text, audio or video debate on eternal security. (You can pick.)
Let’s place our exchanges on our web sites for the whole world to benefit by. You are spreading a counterfeit and dangerous grace which has sent multitudes to hell in their sins, but don’t want to be challenged or exposed. Will you debate me, Dan Corner, on this subject or just try to ignore that we exist? If you won't debate, WHY? Jesus and his disciples all debated. (This message was sent to Paul Washer on 05-04-09 and as of 1-21-12 he has NEVER responded!)
