FBC Orlando Baptizing Homosexuals: The Proof It Is Happening And Why This Is Not Loving

Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Justin Peters. I hope that this finds you and your family doing well today. I want to thank you so much for joining me for this podcast as I mentioned in my previous video with Casey Butner we had a follow-up video coming and this is that video and Casey and I are going to be Showing you more proof much more proof about the things that we have been saying About First Baptist Church, Orlando as well as the SBC in general.

Some have asked for proof. In fact, we've heard from a number of people Expressing their deep concern genuine concern, but wanting some more proof of the things that we are saying. Specifically that First Baptist Church is baptizing Homosexuals and that is all going to be in this video now.

You've probably already noticed if you've looked down at the timeline or whatever. This is a long video it is. It's going to be a hair over two hours in length. So what I have done is I have broken this down into Chapters, I guess you could say and down below in the description.

I will have the minute mark. So if you want to jump to a particular place. You can do that or if you want to you know, stop and come back to it later or whatever. We want to watch something again. So all the chapter divisions are down below in the description so you can navigate this video More easily.

This is not a video that I wanted to make. Casey did not want to make it. But it is one that is necessary Unfortunately, and we want we want churches to be equipped. We want people who truly care about the truth.

To be equipped and so and and also let me say you'll see this as a video goes on, especially at the end that Neither Casey nor I have any disdain for Homosexuals we care for them and we want them to know the truth and Anyway, I've got ahead of myself.

So basically here's the chapter divisions how we're gonna break this down. So we're gonna start by giving just kind of an introductory material.

About.

Some of the things the first Baptist, Orlando We've been talking about and the SBC the attractional model of church of doing church and that kind of stuff some laying some groundwork first and then we're going to Get share with you some of the emails and feedback That we have received from people and I mentioned in the last video that we have now heard from well over a hundred people either current members or former members First Baptist Church, Orlando expressing their concern and actually affirming every single thing we have said and then some.

Next chapter. We're going to be talking about the North American Mission Board and First Baptist Church, Orlando and how the North American Mission Board is partnering with FBC Orlando and some of the concerns that that entails and I will be Kind of a subdivision within this chapter.

I will also interview Tom Buck and he will talk about the exchange that he has had With Kevin Ezell the director of the North American Mission Board and how that went back and forth and very troubling things there.

Then the next chapter Casey's going to talk about some social justice keywords tag words. If you hear some of these things in your church That will be you know enough to raise red flag and then Probably what most of you are really wanting to see.

And and this is not this is not for the purpose of being salacious in any way. It is simply showing proof of the things that we have been saying. But the next chapter we will have I will show Casey and I will walk through with you photographic proof that Homosexuals are being baptized at First Baptist Church, Orlando.

And then we will answer some of the criticisms the next chapter answer some of the criticisms that have come our way and I'll talk about one YouTube channel in particular and then Casey is going to tell us about some of the former homosexuals who have contacted him and thanked him For the things that he has been saying in these videos I think that will encourage you a lot and then finally the last chapter will be the conclusion and The gospel that's how we will end it.

So thank you very much dear ones for watching this and Without any further delay. We'll get to the interview Casey brother. It's good to have you back with me and In our last video that we did together.

We kind of teased this one a little bit said that we would have another video coming up and this is That video and so we will largely be talking about some of the ongoing issues and concerns at First Baptist, Orlando and flesh those out more fully and also some some well a couple of critics have have said that we don't really have proof of what we're saying but As we said in the last video you you and I both heard have heard from dozens but in your case given your centrality there to First Baptist, Orlando your location you've heard now from over a hundred people.

And so we're gonna be talking through some of those things and we're gonna have pictures That validate prove unfortunately prove everything that we have been saying.

So.

Let's go through this quickly. My concerns with First Baptist, Orlando. They that church first kind of got my attention back in 2016 with the Memorial service that they had for the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting, of course, which is a gay nightclub.

I've done a video on this. They ushered everyone there into heaven. And the the chief cornerstone in Scripture From first Peter to that was identified as the LGBTQ community. When in reality, of course, it is Jesus Christ himself.

So it's just horrifically blasphemous and. That kind of one thing led to another. So Casey, let's walk through some of these issues, let's talk a little bit about David youth and him being the president of the SBC pastors conference in 2020.

What would you like to share with us about that as we just lay some groundwork here?

Yeah, sure, you know a little bit more there about David youth is worth talking about because that's primarily where our concerns lie and nevertheless he had an invite list that was prepared for the pastors conference there and Unfortunately due to kovat the whole convention was canceled.

The pastors conference was canceled. I guess you could say praise the Lord or unfortunately however, but that invite list is public news as well and it was organized by David youth and There's just a list of guys who are just simply Well, I guess we could just start at the top.

David Platt was Invited now. David youth was chairman of the search committee for the IMB when they were looking for a president. So he was strategic and getting David Platt in that position. They're good friends now.

David Platt when he was preaching at the t4g conference he preached a message called let justice roll down like water from Amos chapter 5 verses 18 to 27 and he Completely took that out of context and made it to where whites needed to repent and He was saying that white people had blind spots and he called for whites to utilize all of their influence To do justice and that that was the true test of our Christianity so that was pretty much the Huge open door for critical race theory and social justice and and all of those things.

So That would be one who you know, David invited and then Wayne Cordero is a pastor over at Hawaii. He runs about 21 ,000 in attendance. He's a non-sbc guy. Then you got Jim Simbala in New York and.

They run.

Charismatic. Jim Simbala charismatic, but yeah, go ahead. Yeah, absolutely.

Then as you go on down the list David Hughes senior pastor of Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, Florida they run about 9 ,000 and. You put their worship service just a glimpse on our last video.

Yeah.

Yeah, church church by the glades that is that is an SPC church. A lot of people don't think it is but but it is that is their affiliation. They are SPC and this is an attractional church seeker sensitive church on Steroids they Just recently as their primary, I guess one I guess a primary worship song worship song in there one of their services on a Sunday was a remake of walk this way by Aerosmith and I guess that was later redone by I Started to run didn't run DMC.

So I'm not a music guy I don't know my musical interests are pretty much limited to the hymns and Ray Stephens Country comedian racing. So beyond that I'm not my wife will tell you I'm famously illiterate on music, but I did look up.

Unfortunately, I looked up the lyrics to Walk this way. Horrific, that's all I'll say somebody wants to Google it fine, but it very very sexually explicit. Now they changed the words a little bit. But it's still there and that's what they consider worship so and they do sermon series on movies.

I've you know, Michael Jackson stuff and you know, it's just it's it's a it's a theatrical production and I Have no problem saying that church by the glades is not a church. It's it's a goat farm. It's an absolute goat farm.

So.

And so for David used to invite him as an example at a pastor's conference is Completely discrediting especially when they do series like Victoria's Secret. Yes, Victoria victorious secret. Yeah, which yeah.

Must give credit where credit's due you. You told me that so I didn't find that.

Not that I've watched it, but but I see yeah, so it's on their YouTube channel. You can go to their YouTube channel. You see it's right there. And but yeah, yeah, it's.

It.

Carnal doesn't even begin to describe it. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's outright gross and.

Any of your viewers that go on to church the blades website and watch just you know a minute or two I guarantee you they that's all they'll watch. That's all you I mean, it's it's just that appalling.

Yeah, go and you know, it's kind of fitting. I mean South Florida has just some well, anyway, as You kind of go on down the list Phil Whitman was invited to be the worship leader. Now. He collaborates with Bill Johnson at Bethel and so you have this Bethel music and all of its mysticism coming in to lead worship for pastors.

Yeah.

And as you have these guys on stage to preach and to teach you're setting them as an example. And so David youth was taking all of the Southern Baptist pastors outside of if you want to say Southern Baptist doctrine and going Outside of the denomination to look as for an example as to what to do in their churches.

And obviously church growth is the goal for the SPC. It's an idol numbers. This is how you do it. But then, you know another kicker would be Hosanna Wong a spoken word artist a Bible teacher a preacher.

She's a teacher at the East or preacher a pastor at the East Lake Church in San Diego. She's an international preacher a guest preacher for many churches and she was in a preaching slot. She was in a preaching slot for the Southern Baptist pastors conference and David youth would say well She wasn't preaching.

She was just going to do spoken word. And if and if you've listened to her, she doesn't just do spoken word she's going to preach and.

That.

Even putting her in there as a pastor. She is a pastor. She's on the website of a church as a pastor. It's it's muddying the waters. It's affirming women pastors. It's simply crossing the line in all of these different areas and He got a lot of pushback within the Southern Baptist Convention and at that time.

When kovat hit and got canceled and the pushback came, you know David and Danny kind of pushed back on their own Sunday morning service when they started meeting again and calling them, you know crazy uncles and evil and names so he responded in that way rather than just Repenting and saying guys I was out of line and getting back in line doctrinally, so, you know non-spc people to lead the SPC.

It's way outside of sound doctrine which obviously pastors are called to do according to Titus 1 9 to hold fast to that, you know, we would look at it as You know me a prior Southern Baptist. I would say Adrian Rogers the line of Jerry Vines the faithful expositors if you're going to go outside the SPC John MacArthur Steve Lawson Bodhi Baucom Ken Ham Justin Peters.

Get in that thread and bring in sound doctrine if you're going to go outside. But the clear direction of David youth and even SPC would be more like Rick Warren Tony Evans TD Jake Steven Furtick Joyce Myers.

That's the downgrade that we're looking at and so we're taking in to consideration years of compiled evidence and Showing people here today that this is most certainly the direction that David youth and Danny are going.

But not only first Baptist, Orlando the entire SPC by and large craves this friendship with the world partnering with the world and Friendship with the world is hostility towards God. James 4 4 says and I was proud of Chris Kenningham whom you put in the last video who pretty much said they're on the floor that our church has found that partnering with the world is something that the SPC is doing and We're no longer going to be a part of it.

Have a good day, and he walked away from the microphone I was I was surprised not not one person applauded him.

Yeah, I know that was pretty telling and in case you were not doing that, you know We've been accused of so early some would say that I think there's been some oblique Digs at us from some of the higher-ups and SPC the SPC elites and You know, we're we're angry we're like the angry uncle or the crazy uncle in the basement or so, you know, and like we're just angry, but we're we say these things because We actually care we care about the truth.

We care about the honor of God, but we also care Deeply that that people are not deceived. Right. I mean I asked a simple question.

How valuable is truth? Yeah, how valuable would Jesus say that truth is? And this is very very true and at the core the truth is going to protect the people. At the very core of it The pastors are called to preach the truth of God and it's by the Word of God that it sanctifies the people and so.

You know, we talk a lot about how this is not fun and I've shared with you many times. I don't envy your job Justin. But here's the thing We're fighting for souls and it's worth it. It's taxing and it's laborious but those who have Combined I mean just compounded their affirmation Towards us and thanking us for getting the truth out.

It's endless you mentioned over a hundred for me and honestly It's probably well beyond that and that's not a lot compared to how many people are attached to first Baptist, Orlando.

And.

You know that it ran 14 ,000 in the Jim Henry days. I don't know where it's at now. But nevertheless It is so big that in between all the multiple services and all the things that are going on. People could literally not know the context of what's happening over here at these baptisms or what's happening over here.

There's children and youth and Spanish services. Brazilian services out and it's almost like a town. And so when you walk around on Sunday morning, there's thousands of people. That's just the way it is at a big church and so firsthand testimonies have said to me we were there for years and you would have this one little thing that Would be wrong and then some time would go by another little thing and then another little thing.

And so now that we've done these videos just simply added up all of the facts. The light bulb comes on and I have heard this one illustration. Over and over and over again the frog in the kettle is true.

It's true. The frog in the frying pan is it's a true illustration and that's what's happening there. And so for the true sheep to be able to know the truth that's what we're simply doing and you know, you and I have decided that.

It is our opinion for pastors to go down this road intentionally. They know what they're doing. They know where they're going if they're not innocent. Yeah, they've already decided they've done their test.

They've told the community they know where the world is. They know what the world is craving and they know what to do to. It's the same thing that this that the southern baptist convention is doing trying to keep the big tent big.

Trying to keep the room full. Yeah.

That's right. For numbers. For numbers. Okay, see I want to get I want to get to a couple of these emails and testimonies that we've been talking about. Of course, we couldn't begin to go through all of them because we've heard from so many.

Uh, so I want you to read through some of whatever you would like to uh, but before I let you do that, let me ask you this question. Has it. Has it been your sense? Because some are going to say oh. Every church has disgruntled former members.

And so You know, these are just angry. Former members of first baptist orlando that have had their feelings heard and they're so they're just trying to get back at their Church, they're just disgruntled.

Is that the sense? That you get from these people who have contacted you.

The people that contact me are hurt. They have been Heavily invested as members for years and years and years multi-generationally too with their children their children's children.

And.

You know for a few hundred people to leave first orlando is nothing for them. They've already they know where they're going they've counted the loss and This little bump in the road, you know, I mean i'm convinced you and I are just nothing.

That's not even on pastor. David and danny's radar. But if perhaps these videos can reach the people for whom are Contacting us, especially myself and they're saying what you're saying is true and then some yeah, and They're hurt.

They're they they've been giving for years. They feel like that. They've been Deluded and sound doctrine has not been being preached. The truth hasn't been being preached and they feel like they've been robbed of their time.

And now that they've been giving toward an agenda that they do not approve of they feel robbed. And so nevertheless, there's a lot whom are Dealing with all of this right now. And and so our prayers go out to those who are Comprehending it and and I too have a heart because i've gone through that before I was on staff with a false prophet.

He.

Put.

You know a couple uh to be baptized. It was of the same gender. I asked, you know. What is this? I was a children's pastor at the time had children lined up who had received christ. And I said we can't baptize a gay couple, you know, these ladies need to be Evangelized.

We need to share the gospel with them and and he said casey we love you brother and we just want you to keep doing what you're doing and. You're doing a great job. And just a glazed over schmoozed thing.

And it wasn't very long at all after that that my wife and I we prayed and said We're resigning. And god took good care of us when we made that hard decision and it took a a long time nearly a year to emotionally recover.

Because we had invested our lives in this church. And so I know what it is for the folks to be going through this hardship. They've invested their lives into their and oftentimes their their their friendships at church.

Are more intimate and closer than their actual church family. And so they're dealing with Losing what what would feel like is family members if they walk away from the church. That's just really really tough on all kinds of different levels.

And so nevertheless.

They're they're hurt understandably because anyone who's been deceived for a long time. You're obviously going to be hurt but not they're not vindictive. They're not just trying to cause trouble for the sake of causing trouble.

They're hurt and they don't want other people to go through that same hurt that they've been. They've been through so it's not a it's not a vindictive Meddling kind of hurt. It's a it's a hurt that's born out of a love for the truth, right?

Yeah, and they appreciate the the courage to be able from us to be able to put the truth out there so that they and their friends can put it all together and. So nevertheless, I have had an overwhelming amount of affirmation and appreciation.

And at the same time listening for hours on the end of their personal testimonies hours and hours and hours of the things and Unfortunately, a lot of the very specific details Would give away the identity of those and so we can only share so much Without breaking confidence.

Sure. But the details are very specific and they're harsh. Yeah, so, you know david and danny will have to answer to that on the day of judgment before the lord. Yeah and The sheep are going to be okay.

Yeah.

One such individual who obviously will remain unnamed. Saw our video and and sent a long email and i'll just kind of rattle through some of the things that he mentioned. He joined, you know five years ago.

He previously attended a solid bible preaching and teaching church out of the state. And he served there at first baptist orlando in the response room and did counseling. He um, and he started noticing a lot of things that raised his spiritual eyebrow and red flags and such.

So they closed the response room to make way for youth activities. Danny was constantly beating the drum for money. And um, and then there was that pastors conference fiasco with david youth, which we just talked about.

The invite list that he brought in.

And.

Nevertheless, this gentleman lived in south florida for a while and he says he's familiar with the antics of church in the glades. So he was completely put off by that and then at the same time there was a posture shift conference.

There at first baptist orlando and that's simply how to reach out to the gay community. And he left he says confused. Where the church was going? And how to reach the gay community for the gospels. It was confusing for him.

Now you would think there shouldn't be anything confusing about the gospel. It's the easiest thing in the world to get right. So he was deeply grieved and he was left. Um. Fouled at the point that they were fouling the baptistry and baptizing homosexuals.

Danny got up on a sunday morning when david was in attendance and he started berating. The ejecting pastors from the pulpit causing them calling them crazy uncles and evil people. So he's talking about those who were giving david pushback to those whom he invited to the pastors conference.

And and I want people to be sure and hear what you just said. They this this individual says they were baptizing homosexuals. Plural. So he saw this.

More than once that's my understanding. Yeah. Yeah of what he's saying. So it left him deeply grieved.

Now.

This is sad he he went over to um david on a sunday morning and um Confronted him and then they were able to talk about it for a very short time and then david he says got huffy. And he said well, you're going to believe what you want to believe and walk off.

And that's just sad for a pastor to treat anybody like that, especially when This man knows what he's talking about. So while attending the church, he attests to the fact in this email that david brought in robert morris a charismatic preacher and more.

Um.

Yeah.

He's he's friends with todd white. So that kind of tells you where robert morris is. But go ahead.

Wow, yeah. And then he brought in hosanna long to perform scripture and then had a woman preach on that sunday. And then to kind of add to everything that was happening at the same time. He's shutting down discipleship classes and replacing them with practical matters and social justice issues.

And so you see the high bar of god and ecclesiology being um brought down. Yeah inch by inch and then worldliness brought up. It's just teetering and teetering and teetering and over the years. Now it's just the cart has flipped.

And.

People really are seeing it now. So for this gentleman, he said that he was done. The final straw was when danny read his infamous. We are first. Orlando letter.

We are a diverse welcoming multicultural gathering of people. We have the 99 year old world war ii hero. And the millennial immigrant who doesn't know anything about american history sitting on the same row and listening and learning about jesus together.

We have transgender lgbtq Straight single married divorced and cohabitating people. These same people attend listen serve grow and give. We have democrats republicans independents and non-registered people.

We have documented and undocumented people. We have politically active and socially responsible people. We have pro-life and pro-choice and pro-war and pro-peace. We have support the blue and black lives matter sitting together and serving together.

We have trumpers and never trumpers. We have biden supporters and harris supporters. And in the midst of all of this We have one of the most beautiful worship experiences you can possibly imagine. Because all of us gather around the good news of jesus and the one who is changing us and the one who unifies us.

And we celebrate how he has set us all free from our bondage to sin and given us eternal life. Jose. We are first. Orlando.

And and he says that in no way that described him and he didn't want to be associated with it. So they had their names removed from the membership there at first. That was orlando. And speaking of the people there at first he says they are literally like frogs in the boiling pot.

What once was the battleship of christian faith has been turned into a carnival cruise love boat of pragmatism woke ism culturalism and numbers. Again to kind of sidetrack a little bit. I have not heard back from danny or david.

And I don't expect to. Um, i'm a nobody and i'm fine with that. I just want to be faithful to whatever the lord has for me to do.

And.

If we could sit down and talk it would be about sound doctrine. What the scriptures say about all these subjects. That's the voicemail I left on pastor david youth's cell phone. I would love to follow up with a conversation.

He called left me a voicemail. I told him I said let's meet and obviously his mother passed. And our condolences still go out to him and his family. We would love to sit down and talk about the. I mean he has a phd in new testament.

There's no reason why we can't talk about sound doctrine. With bibles open but every time we talk with david it's emotional stories. And the list kind of goes on and on and on. So to finish this email the bottom line is if you love and care for someone you will warn them of the danger.

And continuing on their current path and show them that the path they're on leads them away from safety. So to do what danny and david are doing is to foster a false sense a false sense of security In people.

And to walk down that path is to take them to hell. This is not love but this is hatred by hiding the truth. I pray that the lord either convicts david and danny to repent. Or he cleans house and brings in doctrinally sound leaders to shepherd this church.

And that he doesn't remove his candle stand. If he hasn't removed his candle stand already.

Now.

You got one email out of a ton of emails that have responded to. And we've got pastors as well. Not only from um, we're not not only people and pastors from first orlando. Not pastors from first orlando, but people around the country and pastors from around the country.

Who have emailed and said casey our church Is seeing what first orlando was done. We're seeing what's happening in the convention. We have voted and our church voted unanimously and we're leaving the sbc.

Yeah, and so I asked pastor michael in washington if I could have permission to share and he said sure. He said for years i've been grieved of the direction of the sbc. I serve in washington state. He sees the darkness creeping into the sbc.

And he's going to be showing his elders the interview that we have the video prior to this. And they're going to discuss their affiliation. The sbc might have asked you for prayers. And he said i'm no great man of god.

But as paul washer said there are really no great men of god only frail men. Of a great god. So thank you for being a voice for truth. Of god's word and so that's pastor michael duncan senior pastor of faith community church at ocean shores Washington and this is just one example of a ton.

So nevertheless, and then there's another one where they already did vote 100. Pastor aaron in texas that they've left the sbc. This is actually pretty interesting.

Okay.

He called and he said that um. They voted to leave the sbc and they sent a letter and he had was gracious enough to attach this well-written letter. And pretty much there's 10 specific points as to why they're leaving.

The texas the southern baptist of texas convention. So the state convention of texas called and they said are you leaving the state convention as well? So the pastor said. Pastor aaron said well, we got 10 points that we need addressed.

So the state convention sent a representative to come and speak on a sunday morning. And pastor aaron said it was an absolute bomb. He affirmed the fact that women could be pastors. He affirmed the fact that the baptist faith and message is where we're at.

And the list kind of went on and on and on and it it was just.

Awful. The texas state convention affirmed that women can be pastors. Yes.

Yep lord have mercy.

Genuineness lord have mercy.

State convention. So you know. In in our own state convention as well. Yeah, i've told you that i've spoken personally um with our treasurer. And and he has said, you know that I can't do anything. Every church is autonomous and independent and and so I said We have got to leverage our influence to hold one another accountable for the glory of god and for the well-being of the sheep.

We we can't just get the money and the numbers and pretend like everything is okay and Cover our eyes and keep having conferences at first baptist orlando and keep having our annual conventions there.

Keep keep on doing everything like it's not happening. And so the fact that first baptist orlando was affirming that the LGBT community can also be christians at the same time and they're baptizing them.

Is.

Happening. And there's zero pushback from. Any other pastors that I know of? Um the convention. Pastors that would have the clout to be able to say hey david youth. What's up? Are not doing that. They are siding with their friendship rather than being able to hold one another accountable and.

That's no friend that no.

That that is that is such a sad commentary. I don't want people to miss that. So it's we're not just talking about first baptist orlando, even though that's kind of they're kind of the emphasis here, but any pastor.

Who would not stand up against this and and go to david youth and danny diarmus and say brothers. Ostensibly. What are you doing?

So.

Romans 14 22. Blessed is a man who is not condemned by what he approves.

Right.

So if if if you're if you know the truth and you have access to these men and you're. You're in the svc you're in their theological and ecclesiological circles and you have access to them and you don't say something.

You're I'm not saying like a six degree Kevin bacon kind of thing but but you're you're. You're condemning yourself by what you approve and by not going to them. You're participating in that sin.

Yeah, it's become that's not me that's scripture. Right. Yeah, it's become a thing around here. We say it quite often now to permit is to promote.

Yeah.

And we're not going to be guilty by association. And we've just simply Taken the high ground, especially when it comes to it being made a gospel issue even on The woke side of things so I mean baptizing homosexuals doing social justice.

That's just part of what First baptist orlando is is accused of and or is doing you know The second peter chapter 2 verse 1. But false prophets also arose among the people Just as there will be also false teachers among you who will secretly introduce destructive heresies even denying the master.

Who bought them? You know, I mean this stuff rises up within the churches and it obviously gets to the pulpit and everything and Whether or not david and danny are false prophets or not. I mean, I don't know.

I mean they could be genuinely fooled. Colossians 1 8 talks about that, you know, the colossians were fooled, but I personally would say to them Your fruit is telltale.

Well, you know as you said david has a Phd in new testament, so he's not ignorant of what scripture teaches so. You know the state of the man's soul. I won't weigh in on that I guess but uh. But I can definitively say Definitively say he's not qualified to be a pastor.
