Jesus said to fear Him who Can destroy both soul and body in Hell John said the wicked will be tormented Day and night forever and ever
And so my faith was grounded On the reality of Hell And the power of the Cross For salvation and holiness
But then I met a man He said God wants all men to be saved He said Jesus died for the sins of the whole world And so even if people die without Christ They’ll go to Heaven
He also said there might not even be a Hell And that Jesus was just kiddin’ That the hellfire in the Bible isn’t real But that it’s just a word picture
He also said when we die We might just not exist anymore He said who knows Maybe murderers are changed into men of God
He believed that way for twenty five years He told me not to believe in Hell But I saw him just the other day burnin’ As I looked down from glory
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous. –1 Timothy 3:3 (KJV)–
Do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. –2 Timothy 4:5 (KJV)–
Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me. –Acts 1:8 (KJV)–
He spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. –Acts 9:29 (KJV)–
When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. –Ezekiel 33:8 (KJV)–
O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. –Habakkuk 3:2 (KJV)–

They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance…And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. –Acts 2:4, 17 (KJV)–

JWs say Jesus is the Archangel Michael And failed to predict his return five times That you earn your salvation by witnessing And that you can’t say the Pledge of Allegiance
Mormons say Jesus is Satan’s brother By magic rituals and polygamy They say you can become a god of a planet And that all churches are abominations
Christian Science says the world is the Matrix That there is no Trinity And Jesus wasn’t pierced for our transgressions And if you go to the Reading Room, you’ll get better
My Bible says God became a man And his name is Jesus Christ And he stood in the place of sinners To remove their guilt and send the Holy Ghost
No amount of failed end time predictions Or preachin’ against the Pledge of Allegiance Or polygamist Mormon gods of planets Or Matrix ideas will ever change that
The $15 million dollar Mark Hellinger Theatre that Wilkerson raised funds to purchase as the property for Times Square Church, was originally the place where the blasphemous gnostic Broadway play was run in 1971, called Jesus Christ Superstar. This gnostic version of Jesus was played by Jeff Fenholt, who was actually a former backup musician for the band Black Sabbath, was on heroin, and was a practicing theistic Satanist at the time of the play. He was into real devil worship at the time he was playing Jesus on Broadway. In this sermon Wilkerson says that Fenholt eventually got saved, baptized in the Holy Spirit, became a Pentecostal evangelist, and a Christian rock musician. Fenholt eventually visited Wilkerson at Times Square Church and said what is now Wilkerson’s pastor study used to be Fenholt’s dressing room where he worshipped the devil in secret! Wilkerson says all this to show that it’s absolutely necessary to preach the law, repentance from porn, drugs, and alcohol, and moral transformation; and not just present people with an easy-believism gospel of cheap grace that leaves them completely addicted to all their vices. –J.B.
