“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works,” 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

As I said in Part 1 and also in the introduction to Part 2 of this article, I set out to expound the verses above and apply them to an impious email from one purporting to be a female ‘minister of the gospel’.

It will be seen in that first article that the silly woman who attacked me, mocked young girls for wearing berets as they sang in church. She seemed totally unaware that a head covering is commanded in Scripture for a lady engaged in public worship in the house of God, 1 Corinthians 11:4-6.

She but confirms that she is one of the ‘Bible-rejectors’ who abound today and who can blithely call themselves ‘servants of God’!

I then moved on to note how that from the dawn of this Christian age, the devil has been actively corrupting the truth of God by his evil agents who creep into unsuspecting churches (Jude 3-4) and who transform themselves into what is professed to be “ministers of righteousness.”

We now take up the final part of the study.

THE APPROACH OF THE FINAL THREE AND A HALF YEARS OF THIS AGE HAS BEEN SIGNALLED BY A NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES IN RECENT TIMES.

1. The world-wide rejection of the Word of God within professing Christendom. There has always been heresy and false doctrine to be found within the ranks of the professing people of God. Judas Iscariot was, as it were, the forerunner of those who, pretending to be true disciples, were in fact intent on destroying the work of Christ.

Heresies

Such has caused great divisions and disruptions but as Paul says: “For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you,” 1 Corinthians 11:19. The activities of the ‘heretics’ serve to stir up the true believers, like sailors on a ship boarded by pirates, and every effort is made to resist such and remove them from the ranks of the people of God.

Thus, some of the greatest definitions and explanations of the fundamentals of the faith have come out of those controversies that the invasions by false prophets have generated. There is no better example than the wonderful Catechism and Confession of Faith that emerged in the wake of the great Protestant Reformation. They still serve as ‘anchors of the soul’ to true believers.

Since the Second World War we have seen a flood tide of departures from the truth of the Bible. It has advanced so far that ‘faith’ of Sodom and Gomorrah has become the standard of religious thought in most of the mainstream denominations.

Here in Northern Ireland, once considered the home of the most conservative of true Protestantism, Ecumenism with its objective of reunion with Roman Catholicism and the embracing of every false and immoral perversion of man, has ordained openly professing sodomites to office.

The total rejection of the Bible, which the embracing of sodomy and its associated perversions which ever increase in diversity and number and are embraced by governments and public bodies such as churches and schools, as unexceptional manifestations, while in truth they are disclosures of devilish depravities!

2. The spirit of murder that is ever more common. I found this graph on the Internet:

At one stage, around 2004, the number of murders in England and Wales had increased five-fold from 1960 and it is presently some three times what it was sixty years ago.

Stabbing

Murder by stabbing is very common amongst the young and the motive is usually one of the most trivial kind! Life carries no value and can be taken on the basis of the slightest perception of an insult!

Furthermore, ‘infanticide’ has increased horrifyingly. Little ones are done to death in the most fiendish manner. Many recent court cases have revealed that children have been treated most cruelly by those supposedly caring for them. The little ones have been done to death in a manner in which no human being would put to death an animal! Click to read more…

The following headline appears in a UK national daily newspaper on Wednesday, 26th March, 2025.

EU urges ALL citizens to prepare for war with ‘survival kits including food and water to survive 72 hours’ amid fears of WW3

It brings to mind the Saviour’s words in Matthew 24:6.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”

The newspaper report states:

“The European Union is pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc to have a three-day survival kit ready in case of war or natural disasters.

EU crisis management commissioner Hadja Lahbib said the proposals will be formally presented today as part of a broader ‘preparedness strategy’.

Brussels is hoping to ensure every citizen is equipped for 72 hours of self-sufficiency amid the growing threat of continental conflict breaking out.

EU citizens will be told to stock up on a dozen key items, including matches, ID documents in a waterproof punch, bottled water, energy bars and a flashlight, as part of their ‘resilience’ kit.

European leaders have said the invasion of Ukraine could soon break out into a ‘global’ war.

Some Scandanavian (Sic) countries have already stepped up their prepation (Sic) by distributing war survival guides.

The EU has now joined such efforts following a landmark report from Finland’s former president Sauli Niinisto last year on strengthening Europe’s civilian and military preparedness.”

Saviour’s words

To return to the words of the Saviour, quoted at the beginning of this article, it is very clear that as this age draws to a close communal unrest, societal break up and fragmentation and national disputes will increase. We are to expect nations to become more belligerent toward each other.

Headlines like that above, feed the notion that we are on the verge of a catastrophic nuclear confrontation between East and West that will destroy the world and end humanity! Click to read more…

This article was forwarded to me and I am sure that that there is much that is useful in it as a means of discovering the threat to Bible Christianity that Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) presents.

An exposure of the errors of CCM, by Rev David DiCanio, was so resented by a few in the Free Presbyterian Church that upon his refusal to repent of doing that which is in keeping with the Standards of his church, he was cast out of his missionary work and disowned.

We are looking to the Lord to deal with this action against our brother and put right this dreadful wrong, at whatever cost to those who put their hand to this shameful act.

Sincerely in Christ’s name,

Video Series – The Satanic Attack on Sacred Music

March 25, 2025

Few things are more dangerous doctrinally and philosophically to a Bible-believing church than contemporary Christian music and contemporary worship music. It is at the heart of the blending and merging that is creating the end-time, one-world “church.” It is a bridge to extremely dangerous things.

The victory is not merely “keeping the hymnal.” The victory is in proper, ongoing education for the entire church. Tradition and ignorance will not do.

The Satanic Attack on Sacred Music – This course consists of a textbook and a video series with about 18 hours of teaching, packed with photos, graphics, audio and video clips. One previewer commented, “The series is broad and deep with serious factual analysis according to properly interpreted Scripture.” Click to read more…

This message, by one of the number of young Free Presbyterian ministers who share the views and convictions of the founders of our Church, is really worth hearing both by the older generation of our denomination and, most importantly, by the younger generation.

A teacher, who professes to be a Christian, has been sacked for stating what the Bible teaches regarding the moral perversions involved in the ‘LGBT’ and ‘transgender’ movements. Read the report here.

Bishop Justus C of E School in Bromley, south London, sacked Glawdys Leger for telling pupils that being LGBT was a sin.

WHY?

In truth, I am at a loss to understand why any professing Christian would wish to teach in a school run by the Church of England or the Church of Ireland, given that both are wholly aligned with the apostasy and departure from God’s Word today. Both systems are ‘pro LGBT’ and the true believer has no place in such a school. God has never commanded His people to enter the apostasy in order to resist it! To do so is to step outside His will and so deprive oneself of His help when trouble comes.

Paul said: “At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me . . . and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion,” 2 Timothy 4:16-17.

To try and do ‘right’ by doing ‘wrong’ will bring the Christian to that place of danger whereby they may experience something of God’s wrath. This we are warned of in Revelation 18.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities,” verses 4-5.

Furthermore, it will encourage Christian parents to send their children to such schools when they see one professing faith in Christ there as a teacher!

There is only one place a for a Christian to teach and that is in a Christian School!

Reaction

The reaction to this teacher’s statement of simple Bible truth is proof of the utter sellout of that denomination to the lie of the devil! It is no fit place for a Christian.

Let it be remembered that if we would serve and honour the Lord, there is but one place to do it! Click to read more…

THE GREAT SATANIC DECEPTIONS, SEEN THROUGHOUT THE AGES, WILL INTENSIFY AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AGE.

Just as the devil’s past deceptions have been very successful,  to the beguiling of countless millions through his denials of the gospel, though utterly failing to overthrow or hinder the eternal purpose of God, so the truth that I have just stated is one the devil has sought to deny, conceal and deride!

The following is an article which appeared in the Sovereign Grace Advent Testimony magazine, ‘Watching and Waiting’, October-December 1983.

It was brought to my mind when a recording of a panel discussion at a ‘Youth Meeting’, sent to me, indicated that they had been told by one Free Presbyterian minister, who ought to have known better and whose name I will not reveal for I would not wish him to be embarrassed by a public exposure of his folly, that a verse in Psalm 122 did NOT mean what it plainly said!

The verse was: “‭Pray‭‭ for the peace‭ of Jerusalem‭: they shall prosper‭‭ that love‭‭ thee,” verse 6.

The young people were told that the word ‘Jerusalem’ did not mean the city of Jerusalem but rather the ‘church’!

This is the thinking of the ‘A-millennialist’, who has learned his eschatology from the notions propounded by a heretic from the third century, one Origen.

There is a simple maxim that every Christian should remember regarding our understanding of the Bible. It is: ‘God says what He means and means what He says’! We should ever take the words of Scripture literally except where we are told that they are parabolic or figurative or symbolic. We do not need men to come to us and tell us, ‘When God said this, He really meant something very different!’

Those who would put forward this notion want to place themselves between the reader of the Bible and God and be a ‘mouthpiece’ who can tell them the real meaning of Holy Scripture.

That is ‘priestcraft’ and can only lead people astray as we see in Roman Catholicism today! Click to read more…

(Youth Rally, Markethill Free Presbyterian Church, March 16th, 2025)

It is a common feature of Holy Scripture that the Lord constantly repeats what His purpose is for His people. That is because we forget so quickly. Hence the warning: “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons,” Deuteronomy 4:9. Some of you here tonight are the children and grandchildren of faithful Christians, with whom it was my privilege in years past, to share in the Free Presbyterian Church’s public stand for the Lord in these times of apostasy.

If that is your ancestry, then give thanks to the Lord for His mercy and grace to you and your forebears.

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works,” 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

Yesterday (11/3/25) I received an email from a female, or at least it was signed by one bearing a female name and with the designation (Rev) attached. With the satanic confusion that is abroad today, it is difficult to tell at times!!

She is someone living in complete defiance of Paul’s teaching in Titus 1:5-6. “For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.”

Whatever else she may be, she cannot be in obedience to this Scripture and claim to be a minister of Christ!

The title ‘elder’ is interchangeable with the title ‘overseer’ or ‘bishop’ as Acts 20:17, 28 demonstrates. A minister, an elder who labours “in the word and doctrine,” 1 Timothy 5:17, can only be a man. That is the teaching of the Bible!

Claims

This person claimed to be a ‘sister in Christ.’ She further claimed that she was converted over sixty years ago and has been ‘over 40 years . . . in Christian ministry.’

This person then began what was really just a tirade against our conformity to Biblical worship.

Here is one comment: ‘Watching live Free Presbyterian worship on utube I observe the need for outward conformity to expectations. Recently from XXXXX FP I was delighted to see a choir of about 40 young people but dismayed to see how the young girls all felt constrained to wear strange berets  (very similar to the Brethren head coverings.) There can be no Scriptural authority to put such expectations on them. I suspect that are merely responding to church and peer pressure.’

Those are her words not mine!

Doubtless, the final words are meant to ‘embarrass’ me! I find I have no difficulty finding myself aligned with any who, in this matter, obey the teaching of the Bible.

I would much rather be in such company than in that of this sneering female Bible-rejector!

The source of this ‘constraint’, so contemptuously referred to, is merely a desire to obey God.

“Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered,” 1 Corinthians 11:4-6.

So much for ‘no Scriptural authority’, as asserted by this female ignoramus!

Rant

She continues her foolish rant: ‘My conclusion is that the Free Presbyterians could more rightly be known as the Bound Presbyterians.’ Click to read more…

This article sprang out of an email I sent to a Christian bother who felt that the Free Presbyterian Church’s actions in  its protests in the past could not be justified from the Word of God. Naturally, I disagreed.

I tried to set forth the reason why back in the heyday of our protests, when Dr Paisley was in his prime, we believed we were obeying the Word of God in going out to challenge the Ecumenists, Modernists and Romanisers, who had taken over the established denominations.

I hope the article it is helpful to younger Free Presbyterians.

Explaining the stand of the Free Presbyterian Church since its founding.

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear,” 1 Peter 3:15.

In this article, I would like to try and give the Protestant perspective of the political and religious controversies here in Northern Ireland.

As we look at the state of things today in Northern Ireland, there is one in high office who upholds the political view that the IRA were right in their terrorism and generally did no wrong. Sinn Fein leader, Michelle O’Neill, who is ‘First Minister’ in the Stormont Assembly,  has the support of many in the electorate who believe that the only ones who had the right ‘to shoot to kill’ were the members of the IRA.

It is for this reason that there have been ongoing attempts by such to punish, by imprisonment, soldiers and policemen, who in the course of their duty and in the defence of life, shot those engaged in terrorism. Click to read more…

I am posting this sermon — ‘A message for Protestants from the funeral sermons of priests at the funerals of the Loughgall IRA gang’ — preached by me on 24th May 1987, in Kilskeery Free Presbyterian Church.

Read sermon notes here

 

My memory of it was stirred while corresponding with a dear Christian to whom I was seeking to explain and defend the witness of Free Presbyterians over the years.

Our witness was not perfect or free from error, “For ‭there is‭ no man‭ that sinneth‭‭ not,” 1 Kings 8.46, but I believe that I can say that there was with us, over the years, a ’spirit of jealousy’ like that which possessed Elijah. “‭And he said‭‭, I have been very‭‭ jealous‭‭ for the LORD‭ God‭ of hosts‭: for the children‭ of Israel‭ have forsaken‭‭ thy covenant‭, thrown down‭‭ thine altars‭, and slain‭‭ thy prophets‭ with the sword‭; and I, ‭even‭ I only, am left‭‭; and they seek‭‭ my life‭, to take it away‭‭,” 1 Kings 19:10.

The Lord bless you all richly,

Ivan Foster

This is copied from the BBC Northern Ireland news website of today (3/3/25).

The repudiation of the IRA campaign of murder and slaughter by this man is self-extolling and falls far short of true Biblical repentance.

He only changed his views when it became possible that he would become a victim of the terrorism that he had practised on others!

To say that the IRA’s campaign of slaughter ‘was a total waste, absolute total waste of energy, of life, of resources’ is very far removed for a true acknowledgment before God, that he is guilty of heinous crimes deserving of the wrath of God!

Such is the standard ‘expressions of sorrow’ offered by Irish Republicans. Regularly you have evidence of this hypocrisy and affected piety and posturing, as was the recent case of the ‘First Minister’, Michelle O’Neill’s extolling of IRA murderer, Brendan McFarlane.

See:—

Sinn Féin defends tributes to IRA man

All that grows and sprouts from the fallacious roots of Romanism is false and fraudulent!  The BBC and others of that ilk, may be ready to ‘canonise’ this murderer, but that is not how heaven sees his kind! Click to read more…

Here is what ‘contemporary worship music’ or ‘contemporary Christian music’ will eventually bring about!

I am grateful to the brother who brought this article to my attention.

Just as a tiny microbe may enter our body without us being aware of it, but soon it will manifest its evil impact and bring illness and even death, so a seemingly small error may enter the body of the ‘Church’ and, if not checked and dealt with properly and scripturally, bring down to ruin that church.

However, as is often the case, that meant to destroy the infection is resisted by our body and a cure is not affected.

We see that in our church at the present time, Contemporary Christian Music has been embraced by some. When an alarm was sounded by Rev David Dicanio, his timely and proper warning was resented and resisted and he was ejected by the foolish actions of misguided men. Click to read more…

In the Autumn of 1887, Charles Haddon Spurgeon and his congregation withdrew from the Baptist Union.

In his magazine, ‘The Sword and Trowel’ of November 1887, he wrote the follow definition of what the Baptist denomination had become and why it was he had to withdraw from it.

His definition is truly one that gives us a clear view of just what it is for a Christian church to apostatise. It also pictures for us the spiritual state of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, from which Dr Paisley led a separation back in March 1951. As a result of the heresy of Prof Davey and his ilk the PCI had sunk down into the same depths as the Baptist Union in the last century.

“As a matter of fact, believers in Christ’s atonement are now in declared religious union with those who make light of it; believers in Holy Scripture are in confederacy with those who deny plenary inspiration; those who hold evangelical doctrine are in open alliance with those who call the fall a fable, who deny the personality of the Holy Ghost, who call justification by faith immoral, and hold that there is another probation after death, and a future restitution for the lost. Yes, we have before us the wretched spectacle of professedly orthodox Christians publicly avowing their union with those who deny the faith, and scarcely concealing their contempt for those who cannot be guilty of such gross disloyalty to Christ.
