Has Todd White Repented?

Hello dear ones, my name is Justin Peters. I hope that you and your family are doing well today. I want to thank you for watching this video. And this video looks quite different from my other videos because I am on the road right now.

I'm recording this in a hotel room. I'm in Pennsylvania preaching at a church along with Jim Osman. He and I are both here preaching and so this video is gonna be bare-bones. I'm not gonna have any other video clips to Edit into it.

I'm not gonna have any graphics and a because I'm on the road. I don't have that kind of time to to put into this this project, but be. This is kind of an urgent video because I'm responding to the big news in the evangelical world right now.

Todd White’s Claim of Repentance and the Need for Caution

Is that Todd White has? Repented he preached a message this past Sunday. And he came out and he admitted that he has not been preaching the gospel rightly. He says in the last couple of months. He's been reading Charles Spurgeon and reading and watching Ray Comfort.

And he now realizes that the law is an integral part of the gospel. And so you'll see me glancing over and reading some notes that I have here as we go through this. Let me start by saying Todd I hope that you are watching this.

I really do hope that and then if you are please watch it through to the end because I am encouraged by some of the things that I have heard you say and And I want you to know that I am encouraged but There's also a lot here that we need to talk about and there's a lot here that you still don't understand and so this video is both to Todd personally and it's to everyone who is watching because Before we get before we jump on this bandwagon and get too excited here.

We need to we need to look at what real repentance is and what that will entail what that will look like In Todd's life if that is indeed what has happened. So I'm gonna read a couple of a few quotes here from his message.

He says I saw this referring to the law the need for it. I saw this when I got saved and for some reason it's taken me 16 years to explain it. And I feel like I've just seen something completely brand-new.

What I won't ever do is take the miraculous out of the gospel. It's a miracle that I can come to Jesus through all my junk and all my sin and him say not Guilty that's a miracle. So that's just kind of a baseline here that he is saying that.

He says that he understood this 16 years ago. But somehow he says for some reason. For some reason it's taken him 16 years to incorporate it into his preaching. Well that right there tells you that something is fundamentally wrong.

How how is it that he has not been preaching this if in fact he understood it 16 years ago when he got saved.

That.

Immediately.

Discredits all of his preaching because this is a fundamental component of the gospel. This is this is gospel 101 and he has not preaching been preaching this by his own admission. Now bear with me time I'm I'm not angry.

I Bear with me watch please continue watching. Todd goes on he says There's a bunch of people in the world that are accusing me of so many different things of preaching some kind of prosperity gospel, dude.

If you ever hear me Ever hear that in me kill me. I mean seriously, I don't preach money. Sheesh if I do preach prosperity It's the prosperity of the soul. God desires us to be in good health and prosper even as our soul prospers.

He quotes 3rd John 2 of course that is a verse that launched Oral Roberts Ministry if you call it that Oral Roberts one of the most infamous fake faith healers and. So he takes that verse wrongly, but at any rate It is true Todd that you do not preach Financial prosperity nearly to the degree that many of your colleagues do but Therein lies an issue because just in the last few years.

You have.

Heaped praise Upon Kenneth Copeland. You call him your father your spiritual father. Kenneth Copeland is one of the absolute worst most notorious preachers of Money. It is what he is known for he is. He is one of the most egregious Heretics he has uttered some of the most blood-curdling Blasphemies and heresies that you could ever imagine.

And not only does he teach these things He is actually credited God as the source of these things. And that you heap such praise on Kenneth Copeland is.

Enormously.

Troubling. In fact you have recently defended Kenneth Copeland. Like a mother grizzly defends her cubs. You have defended Kenneth Copeland and that is enormously enormously troubling.

What True Repentance Looks Like in Todd White’s Life

So.

Let's go on. Todd White also says this he says. This is hard for me because I feel like I haven't preached the whole gospel and I repent. I Repent. You have no idea. I will not be responsible. I believe that when I preach that the blood of people is on my hands.

You know at face level it you know or face value rather that that sounds Good. He understands that he hasn't been preaching the whole gospel. Let me say if you haven't been preaching the whole gospel you have not been preaching the gospel at all.

And Todd I've watched hundreds of your videos. And I've seen you out on the street and you go up to people and it's true. You have not been using the law of God. In fact you have been preaching the exact opposite of God's law.

You go up to people and you tell people how amazing they are. And God just God just thinks you're amazing dude. And you tell people how wonderful they are and you've you've actually said that the the cross does not reveal your sin it reveals your value that heaven went bankrupt just so God could have us back because we're just all that in a bag of chips, and we're just that spanky.

That is not the gospel at all at all and When you say you repent. That's good, but Todd repenting is a lot more than just Changing your mind as the Greek word metanoia means to change your mind. It does mean that but there's a context in which that Word is used and genuine repentance always bears fruit always.

John the Baptist Matthew chapter 3 says therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance. The Apostle Paul Addressing King Agrippa in Acts 26. So King Agrippa. I kept declaring that all men everywhere should repent and perform deeds appropriate to Repentance.

That does not mean we perform deeds in order to repent, but when God grants repentance and repentance. Isn't it in and of itself granted to us by God? It is a gift from God. When God grants to us repentance our minds are changed.

But everything about us is changed. Our desires are changed our affections are changed, and there is real tangible fruit in keeping with repentance and This is the rub. Todd if you are truly repenting.

It will bear fruit it will bear real tangible fruit.

You are.

Unqualified to be in the pulpit you should not be preaching by your own admission. You are just now coming to this fundamental Understanding of the gospel that you've got to preach the law. You've got to preach sin.

You've got to preach the wrath of God so that the mercy of God makes sense. You're just now coming to that realization, which is good in and of itself. But it also means that you've been preaching the gospel wrongly for 16 years.

What about all of these hundreds if not thousands of people that you have quote-unquote shared the gospel with but you? You've shared a false gospel. You've shared an impotent Gospel. You have gutted The gospel.

You have basically just been preaching a self-help Motivational speech with a little Jesus lingo sprinkled into it if you've just now come to this realization. And I hope that you have. Then you should also realize that.

You've done a lot of damage. You've led a lot of people to a false Jesus and a false gospel. Public sin requires public repentance. That's true for all of us Todd. Public sin requires public repentance.

If you're truly repentant if you're serious about this Todd.

Then.

This is what you need to do, and I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you what real repentance will look like in your life. Not because I want you to to go it you know go out and not because I'm saying that you have to work to Earn your salvation.

No, but if God has truly granted you repentance. Here's what it will look like in your life Todd. You will be willing to come out publicly and say I've been preaching a false gospel. I've been preaching a false Jesus.

You're gonna be willing to say that. You're gonna be willing to come out and admit to people that you have been lying to them for all these years. And not just about preaching an incomplete gospel, but.

Todd the leg lengthening routine. This is the trick that you are most well known for and it is just that. It's a trick. Todd I know how you do it lots of people know how you do it. It's been exposed as to how you do it by altering the angle of people's legs and the and the angle of their feet.

Manipulating very slowly, so it's not real obvious. But manipulating the the angle of their legs and the in the in the in the tilt of their their feet. Todd when you command legs to grow you know full well that leg isn't growing.

It's a trick. You're very good at it, but that's an old trick charlatans have been doing this for decades. You've just been doing it on YouTube and putting it out there. So everybody can see it. But it's a trick and you know, it's a trick.

It's intentional deception. Todd you have been.

Intentionally.

Deceiving people. Intentionally that this is not this is not a situation where you can say oh gosh I I thought the legs were growing. I really did think the legs weren't no. You were intentionally deceiving people over and over and you've you've gotten videos of you lengthening people's legs even recently this year.

After it was exposed at the as the hoax for that which it is in the American Gospel documentary, which by the way. Just this past May just two months ago. You said was demonically inspired. So if you if you've come to a different understanding now, I rejoice in that.

But if you're truly repentant Todd. You're gonna admit to people publicly. Yeah, I've been lying to you. I've been deceiving people. These legs that I claim that I can command to grow. They're not growing.

I am intentionally knowingly altering people's feet and their legs to deceive you if You're not willing to confess that. Then you're not truly repentant. You have boast boasted Todd about your intimate relationship with God there are many clips of you talking about how you are sinless and you say that you have not sinned you have.

You've not sinned and basically since you got saved you 16 years. You have been completely and totally in love with God and he says ask my children. They they live with me. They know, you know, they'll ask my kids.

They know how godly I am. You literally tell people that you're you're without sin. That you haven't sinned since you got saved Todd. That is a blasphemous lie. And you know it and I just talked about one of the one of the areas that you've sinned in the leg lengthening routine trick deception.

You've been boasting about how much you love God and how much you love Jesus how intimate your relationship is with him. And here's another wrinkle to that. You talk all the time about how God speaks to you.

God talks to you. God gives you words of knowledge about people you go up to people at random on the street. Oh God's telling me that you know, you're gonna you want to be this in your career. You've got a pain here.

You get words of knowledge of people here. Todd how is it that you can get words of knowledge from God about people at random and.

Yet.

Somehow for 16 years God has not Spoken to you about you getting the gospel.

Wrong.

Something's got to give. You've got to publicly confess that you've been lying to people. You've been deceiving people. You've got to publicly confess that you do not have the relationship with God that you claim that you have had.

This is ground-level stuff. Using the law in preaching the gospel. This is gospel 101. All these people that you have supposedly shared the gospel with you've given them a false gospel. I've seen the videos.

Real repentance bears real fruit.

False Teachers Who Have Done You No Favors

All.

Of your friends by the way, like Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland and Bill Johnson and Dan Moeller and Lou Engle and all these. All these ministry friends you have. Rodney Harbrand. All of Todd. They have done you no favors.

All of these people claimed us that God speaks to them regularly as well and. Yet none of them saw. What all of the rest of us could see about you. That you've been preaching a false gospel. That you've literally the gospel you have been preaching is 180 degrees opposite of the true gospel.

Rather than making people aware of their sin that has incurred the wrath of God and their need for repentance. You've been telling people how awesome they are how amazing they are. Your so-called friends have done you no favors.

These friends who also claim to hear from God as regularly as do you. Todd if if you're truly repentant. Here's what it would look like. You'll do these things. You'll confess that you've been lying. Confess that you've been deceiving people.

Confess that you do not have the relationship with Christ. That you have claimed that you have confessed that you are anything but sinless.

And.

You will shut your ministry down. The real evidence that you have repented Todd is not. It's not if you're preaching changes, it's that if you're preaching stops because I Am hoping now that maybe you have maybe maybe you've just come to an understanding of the gospel.

Maybe In time will tell as you know, and as time goes maybe this recording will show that you weren't Truly say but as of this recording, I'm hoping maybe that you're in the process of coming to genuine faith and repentance in Christ.

If that is the case Then you'll understand that at best right now at best you are a baby.

Baby.

Christian and First Timothy first Timothy 3 6 says that an elder should not be a new convert in other words men who are in the Position of preaching and teaching God's Word should not be new converts and at best right now.

That is what you are at best and so if you are truly regenerate now. Then you should bend the knee in obedience to God's Word and realize you're not qualified to be preaching. I mean again, this is gospel 101 that you have not understood for 16 years.

You should not be preaching the Bible. You need to shut your ministry down because you're not qualified to preach. Shut it all down. Join a good doctrinally sound church. You live in Keller, Texas. There are some good churches in the Dallas Fort Worth area.

In fact, there's a good one right there in Keller that I know of. Shut it all down. Join a good doctrinally sound church submit yourself to. The men in that church who are biblically qualified as elders submit to them sit in the pew and learn.

Spend years and years and years. Learning you do not need to be behind a pulpit. You need to be in front of a pulpit sitting in the pew and learning. And Todd this is not meant to be harsh on you. But you've got to understand the gravity of the sin that you have been engaging in you have brought reproach on the gospel and you have been preaching a false gospel to Undoubtedly millions of people that have followed you all around the world for many years.

That's very serious. And so you need to shut it down. You need to shut it down join a good church. Submit to the elders learn and I will be praying for that in so dear friends all for the rest of you watching.

Waiting for Real Fruit and Genuine Repentance

There's caution in order here we we saw a fake repentance from Benny Hinn a year ago so many people are so eager to jump on the bandwagon of some big-name celebrity type person that supposedly repents and Comes to real faith and so many people are so eager and in a way I understand that we should always be eager for someone anyone to come to true faith and repentance of Christ.

But before we jump on this band bandwagon, let's watch. Let's see time and truth go hand in hand. Let's see if this bears real fruit in keeping with genuine repentance. Todd. My website Justin Peters org.

Email me Justin at Justin Peters org. I'd be glad to help you. I mean that I really would be glad to help you. But may this be real and if it is real. You'll you'll shut your ministry down not to earn salvation.

But as a fruit of having been saved. So that's what needs to happen. Real repentance. Zacchaeus kind of repentance. Luke 19 Bears real fruit. Okay, dear ones. Thank you very much until our next time together.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ the love of God in the fellowship of his Holy Spirit be with you all.
