November 22, 2022 Show with William C. Nichols on “Five Marks of a False Prophet” PLUS Michael A. Gaydosh on “Christian Book Recommendations for your Christmas List”

Live from historic downtown Carlisle, Pennsylvania, home of founding father James Wilson, 19th century hymn writer George Duffield, 19th century gospel minister George Norcross, and sports legend Jim Thorpe, it's Iron Sharpens Iron.

This is a radio platform in which pastors, Christian scholars, and theologians address the burning issues facing the church and the world today. Proverbs, chapter 27, verse 17, tells us iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Matthew Henry said that in this passage, we are cautioned to take heed with whom we converse and directed to have a view in conversation to make one another wiser and better. It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next two hours, and we hope to hear from you, the listener, with your own questions.

And now, here's your host, Chris Arnzen.

Good afternoon, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Lake City, Florida, and the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth, who are listening via live streaming at ironsharpensironradio .com. This is Chris Arnzen, your host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, wishing you all a happy Tuesday on this 22nd day of November 2022.

I would like to start the program off with a prayer request. The father of the woman who led me to Christ in the 1980s was in a very serious automobile accident last evening. He is in critical condition.

He is unconscious right now in the hospital. Surgery is required on his spine, and there may be other very serious procedures that need to be conducted by the physicians there at the hospital, procedures of which I have not yet been informed about, but that is all the information I have right now.

His name is Bob, and I believe he is in his 80s. So if you would please pray for Bob, the father of the woman who led me to Christ. And I would appreciate that very much, and I know that my friend Susan and her family would appreciate that very much as well.

Five Marks of a False Prophet and the Danger of Half-Truths

Today we have a returning guest, William C. Nichols, founder of International Outreach, and today we're going to be addressing five marks of a false prophet gleaning from a vital sermon by 20th century fundamentalist preacher of God's sovereign grace, Rolf Barnard.

That's the first hour of the program, and in the second hour we're going to be joined by my dear old friend and my first pastor as a born-again believer, Michael A. Gadosch, founder of Solid Ground Christian Books, and he's going to be addressing Christian book recommendations for your Christmas list.

But first of all, it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to Iron Trump and Zion Radio, William C. Nichols. Great. And tell our listeners, for the sake of those who have not yet heard you on this broadcast and may be unfamiliar with International Outreach, tell us about that ministry.

Intoutreach .org.

And also, if anybody wants to listen to the last interview we had with William C. Nichols, you can go to the Iron Trump and Zion Radio website, ironsharpanzionradio .com, ironsharpanzionradio .com, and type in William C. Nichols, and the interview that we conducted with him, which was on his book on Judas, will come up, and that was on September 21st, 2020.

Can you tell us something about that book for the sake of our listeners who were not fortunate enough to hear that very fascinating interview on Judas?

Sure.

Great. Well, if anybody wants to order that book, you can go to that website that William Nichols mentioned before. It is intoutreach .org, intoutreach .org, which is an abbreviation for International Outreach.

And there is one comment by Jesus Christ himself that should have dispelled all the myths portraying a more favorable understanding of Judas, is when Jesus said it would have been better for him if he was never born.

He was a devil as well.

Yes, that's right. Can't get any lower than that.

That's very clear.

Today we are addressing a sermon by a fascinating man from the 20th century. Although you do not have any books published by Rolf Barnard, you have produced a CD of the sermon we're discussing, and that's Five Marks of a False Prophet.

Rolf Barnard, a fascinating figure from our past century. He was born in 1904 and went home to be with the Lord in 1969, when I was seven years old. And he was a fundamentalist preacher, quite a fiery fundamentalist preacher, who fell out of good standing with his fellow fundamentalists, or many of them anyway, when he became a believer in the doctrines of sovereign grace.

And from what I understand, he was also a convert to Christ later in life. Is that not the case? Wow. Well, quite a powerful preacher, as I said. You can hear the sermons of Rolf Barnard at sermonaudio .com, and just type in the search engine R-O-L, F as in Frank, E, B as in boy, A-R, N as in Nancy, A-R-D, Rolf Barnard, and there are quite a number of sermons by him.

And if you love fiery preaching, which I do, you will be indeed edified, especially since it is thoroughly biblical preaching, which is the primary reason that Rolf Barnard was such a great man of God.

And today we are addressing, as I've already said, a sermon that is quite chilling, Five Marks of a False Prophet, because some listening might immediately think that Brother Barnard was referring to cult leaders, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, the extreme bizarre wing of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement.

We could go on and on with different descriptions that rightly identify some who are false prophets, even men who have been quite overtly and openly evil, and clearly identified as satanic and so on. But this is not the case with this sermon.

The reason why this sermon is quite chilling is if you listen to it, and if you hear us discuss it, you're going to immediately recognize that probably the vast majority of modern evangelical preachers, and that would not only include pastors behind pulpits, but those who are radio and television evangelists and authors and so on, would fall under the category of a false prophet the way Brother Barnard is identifying them.

And of course, his list of Five Marks is not an exhaustive list, and it does not include everybody that should be identified as a false prophet. But it is indeed an important list, and all too familiar to our ears.

Is this not correct, my brother?

Yes. Yes. He might be very earnest. He might seem to want people to stop getting more people saved. But the message he preaches... Yes.

In fact, he says, Rolf Barnard said, that half-truths can be more dangerous than total outright lies, because half-truths are quite more easy to swallow. Now, would you say, because I heard that quote, because I listened to the sermon and the shudder went through me, would you say that the key phrase in Brother Barnard's description there was a promise, a certain promise of eternal life to someone who recites such a prayer?

Because there have been many... There are even Reformed people who have led people who have claimed to be lost through a prayer where the sinner is asking Christ to come into their lives and so on, and I wouldn't put them under the category of a false prophet.

But the difference is, there are some... Much to the anger of our Lord, because it leads to the damnation of many deceived people, is when a promise is given, if you recite this prayer, if you say these words, if you repeat these words, you will definitely be saved and will have no fear of hell.

That's when it becomes something, even if it's unconsciously diabolical.

These people...

Right. And so let's go through these five marks. Rolf Barnard started with the first mark of a false prophet being speaking peace to a sinner to whom God has not spoken peace. If you could expand upon that.

Yes, it is.

And the second mark, we're going to have to go through these rather quickly because we only have an hour, and believe it or not, an hour goes by a lot more quickly than people might think on the radio, especially since we have a commercial break in the middle of that hour.

But the second one is phrased in quite an unusual way by Brother Barnard, and he's gleaning from the old covenant, I believe. Men who heal the wounds of people lightly. If you could explain that. Okay, yeah, I think he may have pronounced it two different ways in his sermon, but I could have been mishearing him the second time.

Again, I'm reading the entire...

Yes, one of the things that he mentioned during the sermon is the huge mistake many pastors, preachers, or even average Christians who are evangelizing a lost person. One of the huge mistakes they often make is that they are far too often coaching the lost person on how they should respond.

They're putting words in the person's mouth, whereas we should be observers and hearers to see for ourselves and hear for ourselves how the actual sinner is responding to the gospel, not feeding him with answers that we want him to say.

Am I right here?

Yeah.

Yes.

But again, that's repeating the words of a...

Right. And we're going to our first break right now, and if you have a question for William C. Nichols about five marks of a false prophet, and as I said, we are gleaning from a vital sermon by 20th century fundamentalist preacher of sovereign grace, Rolf Barnard.

If you have a question regarding this, or even a theological question about salvation, other pertinent and relevant biblical passage that you're having a problem with, send your email to ChrisArnzen at gmail .com.

ChrisArnzen at gmail .com. C-H-R-I-S-A-R-N-Z-E-N at gmail .com. Please give us your first name at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

Only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter. Don't go away. We'll be right back with William C. Nichols and five marks of a false prophet right after these messages from our sponsors.

Have you noticed the gap that exists between the Sunday morning sermon and the Sunday school classroom or the small group study? So often we experience great preaching from the pulpit, but when it comes time to study God's word in those smaller settings, well, let's be honest, it leaves a lot to be desired.

It seems like it is nearly impossible to find good curriculum out there today that is true to the word of God and is built upon sound doctrine, much less it's hard to find curriculum that will actually teach people how to study the Bible.

Hi there, my name is Jordan Too and I am the executive director of the Baptist Publishing House. Our ministry is dedicated to providing local churches with sound Bible study resources. Our quarterly curriculum is titled The Baptist Expositor.

And for good reason, we are Baptist and we exegete the scriptures. If you want to have a curriculum that teaches your people how to study the word of God, I invite you go to our website, download a free study, BaptistPublishingHouse .com.

May God bless you.

We are now back with William C. Nichols, founder of International Outreach. We are addressing a vital sermon by 20th century fundamentalist preacher of God's sovereign grace, Rolf Barnard, titled Five Marks of a False Prophet.

And if you have a question for Brother Nichols, our e-mail address is chrisorenson at gmail .com. Give us your first name at least, city and state, and country of residence. We're now on the third mark of a false prophet, men who make the gate a lot easier to get into than the Lord did.

If you can expound on that.

Yes, and one thing I think we have to make clear is that Brother Barnard did not believe in making that statement,.

And neither of us believe that man must somehow labor and work to produce his or to merit his salvation. Salvation is all of the Lord. In fact, as I said in the outset when I identified Rolf Barnard, he was a fundamentalist preacher of God's sovereign grace, which actually put him at odds with many of his fellow fundamentalists when he embraced these precious truths, also known as reform theology and Calvinism.

But we believe that salvation is 100 of the Lord. So we are not saying, and Brother Barnard was not saying, that there needs to be some kind of effort of any kind, let alone strenuous effort in order to earn salvation.

Am I right?

I'm talking about... Right. Amen.

And the fourth mark of a false prophet, which hinges on the third, is men who make the road to eternal life broader than God has made it. If you could expound on that. Yeah, there's no difference from that, or little difference I should say, from the Roman Catholic who believes they can live like the devil as long as they go to a confessional booth occasionally.

But he that doeth the will of my Father...

Amen. And the fifth and final mark that Brother Rolf Barnard includes in the sermon, and once again, Brother Barnard's sermon was not exhaustive of every mark of a false prophet, and it did not identify every single kind of a false prophet.

He was mainly addressing false prophets that are regularly accepted as true prophets and teachers within the Christian Church, even within Protestantism and even within Evangelicalism, as being genuine, and it may even be the majority of, especially the most well-known Evangelical preachers who possess some or all of these marks.

But the final one that he offers in the sermon, the fifth, is men who offer salvation on cheaper terms than God does. If you can expound on that.

Does he demand...

Well, let's take some listener emails. We have an anonymous listener who says, I am remaining anonymous because I am in disagreement with many in leadership in my own congregation where I am a member over some of the things we are addressing.

But isn't it true that if you go back to one of the points Brother Barnard made about making the gate broader than God has made it, this would definitely include those who are ecumenists, even amongst Reformed Christians, who seem to think that the dogmatic gospel of Rome declared at the Council of Trent is not serious enough in its falsehood for us to break complete and all fellowship with them.

It has become an increasingly troubling fact that more and more scholars I hear in the media, even from amongst we who are Calvinists, have been highly regarding men of the past and present from the Church of Rome as if they are our brothers in Christ, and even if they adhere to and agree with the false and damning gospel of Trent.

So would you agree that ecumenism is one of the things that would be, as the listener said, a part of Brother Barnard's warning about making the road to eternal life broader than God has made it? Arnie in Perry County, Pennsylvania, wants to know, how do you respond to those listening who will accuse Brother Barnard and all who agree with him on this sermon that we are making it harder to get into heaven than Jesus Christ himself has made it?

In fact, it seems to be, on one hand, very easy, as we see from the tax collector in the temple that Jesus mentions, who merely bowed his head, beat his breast, and said,.

Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner. Amen.

Yeah, we have to repeat that when Brother Barnard was talking about it being difficult to get into heaven, he was not talking about earning or meriting salvation at all.

No.

These are signs that somebody has received a new heart from God. It's not earning brownie points or earning some kind of a one-way ticket into heaven by demonstrating these things. They're evidences that somebody has been transformed by God.

Amen. And that's something that is so clearly understood from the plain reading of Scripture that to come up with another idea, you would have to be isogeting and importing things into the Bible that are not there.

Well, we are out of time, brother, and how do our listeners get a hold of this CD of Brother Barnard's sermon, and can they also get it in MP3 form or other ways?

Well, Brother Nichols, it's been a rich pleasure having you back on the program.

I look forward to you returning to the program again, and I will send your greetings to our mutual friend, Mike Gaydosh of Solid Ground Christian Books, when he comes on to be my guest during the second half of the program.

Yes.

Amen. Well, God bless you, brother, and thanks for doing such an excellent job as a guest today.

Well, thank you for having me. I appreciate it.

God bless. And don't go away, folks, because as I mentioned, Mike Gaydosh of Solid Ground Christian Books is going to be our guest for the second half of the program, and if you have a question on the best in Christian literature recommended as Christmas gifts, send in your email to chrisarmson at gmail .com, chrisarmson at gmail .com.

As host of Iron Trump and Zion Radio I frequently get requests from listeners for church recommendations. A church I've been strongly recommending as far back as the 1980s is Grace Covenant Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey pastored by Alan Dunn.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church believes it's God's prerogative to determine how he shall be worshipped and how he shall be represented in the world. They believe churches need to turn to the Bible to discover what to include in worship and how to worship God in spirit and truth.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church endeavors to maintain a God-centered focus. Reading, preaching, and hearing the Word of God singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs baptism, and communion are the scriptural elements of their corporate worship performed with faith, joy, and sobriety.

If you love Iron Sharpens Iron Radio one of the best ways you can help keep the show on the air is by supporting our advertisers. One such faithful advertiser who really believes in what Chris Hansen is doing is Daniel P. Patafuco serious injury lawyer and Christian apologist.

Dan is the president and founder of the Historical Bible Society. Their mission? To foster belief in the credibility of Scripture as the written Word of God. They go to various churches, schools, and institutions to publicly display a rare collection of Biblical texts along with a fascinating presentation by Mr. Patafuco demonstrating the reliability of Scripture.

To advance the cause of the Gospel they created a beautiful, perfect facsimile of the genealogy of Jesus Christ from the original engravings contained in a first edition 1611 King James Bible. This 17th century hand-engraved chart shows the family tree of Jesus Christ going back to Adam and Eve.

This book is complete with gorgeous full-size illustrations of Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel and an explanation of why the genealogy of Jesus is so important for his claims to the throne of the universe.

Originals of this work are in museums and nobody has ever made it accessible to the public in a large book form before. You can have your own copy of this 44-page genealogy book for a donation of $35 or more.
