Part 3: When lay people like Benjamin Yeo, Paul Raj, Lam Chun Mun, Ng Boon Kem & Wilson Kwan have boldly concluded that Joseph Prince’s teachings are heretical, the NCCS & APCCS, who are theologically trained, and being the Leaders and Shepherds of the Singapore Flock should be ashamed of themselves when they lack the courage to call out Joseph Prince as a heretic?

“The devil is not fighting religion.
He’s too smart for that.
But he’s producing a counterfeit Christianity,
so much like the real one that good Christians
are afraid to speak out against it.”
This article was also sent to Rev Dr Ngoei Foong Nghian, General Secretary, National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) office, and for the attention of the Executive Committee Members.
This article was also sent to the Alliance of Pentecostal & Charismatic Churches of Singapore (APCCS), for the attention of the Chairman, Rev Yang Tuck Yoong & Co Chairman, Rev Dominic Yeo (General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God of Singapore) and Council Members.
Part 1: George Ong Rebukes the Denomination Heads & the Executive Committee of the National Council of Churches of Singapore, NCCS, both the current and those of the past 20 over years & the Alliance of Pentecostal & Charismatic Churches of Singapore (APCCS) for keeping silent and not speaking out against the heresies of Joseph Prince, and this has led not just Singapore but the millions around the world to be influenced, infected and poisoned by his Pseudo-grace doctrine of Joseph Prince to their eternal destruction.
and the 2 videos by Pastor Jason Lim and me (George),
you will discover how and why the Apostle Paul
had to rebuke the Apostle Peter publicly,
because Peter had compromised the Gospel
by his cowardly actions.
Let me be that bold to say
that the silence
of the National Council of Churches of Singapore, NCCS,
both the current batch and those of the past 20 over years
& the Alliance of Pentecostal & Charismatic Churches
of Singapore (APCCS)
about Joseph Prince’s heresies
is, in a certain sense,
even worse than what the Apostle Peter did.
Because of NCCS’ cowardly silence for the past 20 over years,
the heretic, Joseph Prince,
from our own backyard of Singapore
has been allowed to preach
his false and toxic gospel openly and unhindered,
resulting in the millions of souls
being influenced, infected and damned
to their eternal destruction.
And till today,
NCCS and APCCS have still not awaken
to repentance and action.
Even if they were ignorant then,
they cannot claim that they aren’t aware now
that Joseph Prince is a heretic.
Therefore, I am openly rebuking NCCS and APCCS
for their silence and inaction
over the blatant preaching of the false gospel
by Joseph Prince.
If this rebuke does not move them to action,
then more blood will be spilled on their hands,
as they will stand before God one day
to account for their sinful inaction
even though this was publicly pointed out to them:
6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’
This is not the first time I have publicly rebuked NCCS.
I had also publicly rebuked them in 2021 as follows:
“What is unacceptable is that
they (NCCS) are hiding behind the constitution
to avoid the issue.
Even then, we have shown that constitutionally,
they can and must act against Joseph Prince, the heretic.
If this is the kind of top-level spiritual leadership
we have in Singapore,
we are done for, and may God help us!
I hereby openly rebuke the Executive Committee of NCCS,
by the authority of the scriptures,
and what the Lord Jesus has laid down for us
as responsible shepherds:
1. That instead of warning the sheep
about the wolf and heretic, Joseph Prince,
and exposing and expelling him,
you have continued to harbour and protect him
under the umbrella of NCCS,
for him to continue to deceive the sheep
and lead them to their eternal destruction.
2. By your silence,
you have signalled to Joseph Prince
and the Church in Singapore and the world
that what Joseph Prince preaches
is acceptable to Christian Orthodoxy.
This would certainly give legitimacy and credibility
to his message,
and in the days to come
his influence will grow even more,
and more and more sheep would be deceived
and led to their eternal ruin.
What I have highlighted
is an utterly shameful and abominable
development for the Singapore Church
– that instead of acting against the heretic, Joseph Prince,
the top leadership of the Singapore Church
is silently colluding with the wolf
(by allowing Joseph Prince to operate unhindered
under NCCS umbrella)
to destroy their own sheep.
“To stay silent against the onslaught of heresies is to acquiesce.” (George Ong)
“To tolerate the spread of heresy without doing anything to curb it is to be a quiet accomplice to the treacherous evil.” (George Ong)
Fellow believers, it’s time to mourn and weep
over this sad and revulsive state of affairs
that have befallen
on the leadership of the Singapore Church.”
(End of 2021 Rebuke of NCCS)
Ever since I began taking on NCCS & APCCS in a big way
in September this year,
I have been totally aware that I will lose the support
of many of my supporters.
These people may be against Joseph Prince’s heresies,
but they may not be comfortable in the way I confronted
the National Leadership of the Singapore Church:
NCCS & APCCS.
I could have played politics and pretended
that NCCS and APCCS are not the responsible parties
in the spread of Joseph Prince’s heresies.
I could have, politically, avoided the NCCS and APCCS issue,
and hence prevented “the loss of votes”.
But friends, as I have said before,
politics is not my cup of tea,
and I hate it to the core.
The Church must never be the place
for political games to be played.
Losing votes because we have to do the right thing
just cannot be helped.
I’d rather lose votes by doing the right thing
than compromise on what I ought to do.
We hope those who are the true remnant minority
will stay true and loyal to us and our vision.
Why the silence by NCCS & APCCS?
It is because, for their own self-preservation reasons,
though they wanted to show that Joseph Prince isn’t a heretic,
they are aware that it would be suicidal
for them to even attempt to prove it,
scripturally and publicly.
How can NCCS and APCCS even attempt
to prove that Joseph Prince isn’t a heretic,
when I have proven that loads of his teachings
not only go against the scriptures,
the Lord Jesus and Father God Himself,
but also against plenty of our Church Fathers,
such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley,
Charles Spurgeon, Martyn-Lloyd-Jones, John Stott, etc.
Yet, NCCS & APCCS don’t have the guts and the courage
because of self-preservation
to declare Joseph Prince is a heretic.
This is because if the present NCCS
were to declare that Joseph Prince is a heretic,
that would mean they would implicate,
and they would have to drag in
the NCCS executive committees of the past
– from now to 20 over years ago.
Because of the fear of men rather than the fear of God,
the current NCCS has chosen to keep silent.
Can you now see how unpopular and politically suicidal
my move is when I (George Ong) decided
to rebuke the NCCS executive committee,
not only of the present but also of the past?
How many Bishops and Denominational Heads of the past
and who are still living today,
would I have severely offended?
These past executive committees,
comprising the Bishops and Denominational Heads,
and also the current batch of Denominational Leaders of NCCS
are likely to inform and instruct their Pastors and members
under their charge
never to support George Ong,
or to view his YouTube videos or go to his website,
or to attend his public seminar next year, in 2026.
As for the APCCS,
how can the executive council
declare that Joseph Prince is a heretic
when their Chairman, Rev Yang Tuck Yoong
has shockingly and shamefully declared
that Joseph Prince is his dear friend who loves Jesus?
In a real sense, what Rev Yang Tuck Yoong,
the Chairman of APCCS has done
is even worse than NCCS.
By trying to stop me from contending against Joseph Prince,
and publicly calling Joseph Prince, the heretic
as his dear friend who loves Jesus,
he is openly colluding with Joseph Prince, the wolf in sheepskin,
the tool of the devil upfront, and for the whole world to see.
This is what is monstrous!
Lastly, please don’t ever use NCCS and APCCS
as a convenient cover and a lame excuse for your inaction.
Let’s say NCCS and APCCS don’t exist at all.
So, you mean to tell me, as Denominational Heads
and Responsible Shepherds of your Denominational Flock,
you don’t have the responsibility to sound the alarm
to warn your sheep about Joseph Prince’s heresies?
Come on, let’s not pretend and get real!
In ‘The Complete Works of JC Ryle,’
JC Ryle wrote:
“I now pass on to the second lesson
that we learn from Antioch
That lesson is,
that to keep Gospel truth in the Church
is of even greater importance than to keep peace.
I suppose no man knew better
the value of peace and unity
than the Apostle Paul.
He was the Apostle who wrote to the Corinthians
about charity.
He was the Apostle who said,
“Be of the same mind one toward another;”
“Be at peace among yourselves;”
… Yet, see how he acts here!
He withstands Peter to the face.
He publicly rebukes him.
He (Paul) runs the risk of all the consequences
that might follow.
He takes the chance of everything that might be said
by the enemies of the Church at Antioch.
Above all, he writes it down for a perpetual memorial,
that it never might be forgotten,
that, wherever the Gospel is preached
throughout the world,
this public rebuke of an erring-Apostle (Peter)
might be known and read of all men.
Now, why did he (Paul) do this?
Because he dreaded false doctrine,
because he knew that a little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump,
because he would teach us
that we ought to contend for the truth jealously,
and to fear the loss of truth
more than the loss of peace.
St. Paul’s example is one we shall do well to remember
in the present day.
Many people will put up with anything in religion,
if they may only have a quiet life.
They have a morbid dread
of what they call “controversy.”
… They are possessed with a morbid desire
to keep the peace,
and make all things smooth and pleasant,
even though it be at the expense of truth.
So long as they have outward calm, smoothness,
stillness, and order,
they seem content to give up everything else.
… I have no doubt that many of these men
of whom I speak,
would have thought that Paul at Antioch
was a very imprudent man,
and that he went too far!
I believe this is all wrong.
We have no right to expect anything
but the pure Gospel of Christ,
unmixed and unadulterated,
– the same Gospel that was taught by the Apostles
– to do good to the souls of men.
I believe that to maintain this pure truth in the Church
men should be ready to make any sacrifice,
to hazard peace, to risk dissension,
and run the chance of division.
They should no more tolerate false doctrine
than they would tolerate sin.
They should n withstand any adding to or taking away
from the simple message of the Gospel of Christ.
For the truth’s sake,
our Lord Jesus Christ denounced the Pharisees,
though they sat in Moses’ seat, and were the appointed
and authorized teachers of men.
“Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites,”
He says, eight times over,
in the twenty-third chapter of Matthew.
And who shall dare to breathe a suspicion
that our Lord was wrong?
For the truth’s sake,
Paul withstood and blamed Peter, though a brother.
Where was the use of unity
when pure doctrine was gone?
And who shall dare to say he (Paul) was wrong?
For the truth’s sake,
Athanasius stood out against the world
to maintain the pure doctrine about the divinity of Christ,
and waged a controversy
with the great majority of the professing Church.
And who shall dare to say he was wrong?
For the truth’s sake,
Luther broke the unity of the Church
in which he was born,
denounced the Pope and all his ways,
and laid the foundation of a new teaching.
And who shall dare to say that Luther was wrong?
For the truth’s sake,
Whitefield and Wesley, a hundred years ago,
denounced the mere barren moral preaching
of the clergy of their day,
and went out into the highways and byways to save souls,
knowing well that they would be cast out
from the Church’s communion.
And who shall dare to say that they were wrong?
Yes, peace without truth is a false peace;
it is the very peace of the devil.
Unity without the Gospel is a worthless unity;
it is the very unity of hell.
… Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth
upon the altar of peace.
… Divisions and separations
are most objectionable in religion.
They weaken the cause of true Christianity.
They give occasion
to the enemies of all godliness to blaspheme.
But before we blame people for them,
we must be careful
that we lay the blame where it is deserved.
False doctrine and heresy are even worse than schism.
If people separate themselves from teaching
which is positively false and unscriptural,
they ought to be praised rather than reproved.
In such cases, separation is a virtue and not a sin.
… Unity which is obtained
by the sacrifice of truth is worth nothing.
It is not the unity which pleases God.
… It was the false prophets
who cried “Peace” when there was no peace.
Controversy in religion is a hateful thing.
It is hard enough to fight the devil,
the world, and the flesh,
without private differences in our own camp.
But there is one thing
which is even worse than controversy,
and that is false doctrine tolerated, allowed,
and permitted without protest or molestation.
It was controversy
that won the battle of Protestant Reformation.
There are times when controversy
is not only a duty but a benefit.
… Let us remember the praise He (Jesus) gives to one of the Churches in Revelation,
“I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false” (Revelation 2:2).
Let us remember the blame He casts on another,
“You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess” (Revelation 2:20).
Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth
on the altar of peace.”
George Ong’s Response to JC Ryle’s quote:
JC Ryle wrote:
“But there is one thing

George Ong’s Response to JC Ryle’s quote:
What do you think was wrong,
especially with the pastor/leaders
in the Church of Thyatira?
No, they were not false prophets teaching heresies.
Their key sin was that though
they were not directly involved in false teachings,
they tolerated, permitted and allowed false prophets
to propagate their heresies:
Revelation 2:20 NIV
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess,
In the same way,
because the Singapore Church Leadership
tolerated Joseph Prince’s heresies for so long,
and permitted and allowed him
to propagate his heresies,
and a tough stand was not taken against him,
it has allowed him to spread his grace heresy,
which has not only infected the Singapore churches
but is causing theological havoc around the world.

Part 2: Ex New Creation Church Member, Joseph Kingsley’s Appeal to NCCS & APCCS that they are to expose error, not tolerate or ignore it; and as Leaders, Shepherds & Watchmen of this nation, they are to act with courage to address Joseph Prince’s false teachings publicly.
(Joseph Kingsley wept in grief after the recording of the video)
George Ong’s comments:
After the recording of the video,
Joseph Kingsley broke down and wept for a while
in my presence.
He wept in grief
because despite the spread of Joseph Prince’s heresies,
not just in Singapore but also around the world,
the Singapore Church Leadership
is still not doing anything as if nothing has happened.
You must remember,
Joseph Kingsley and his wife, Sharon Kingsley
have just been delivered from Joseph Prince’s heresies
as they both left New Creation Church in August 2025.
What is foremost in their minds
are those who are still in New Creation Church,
being caught under the bondage
of Joseph Prince’s teachings,
and those outside of NCC who are liable to be deceived.
And Joseph Kingsley is grieving because, despite this,
the Singapore Church Leadership
has not done anything
to publicly warn the Singapore Flock from being enticed
by the deadly and destructive teachings of Joseph Prince.

Part 3: When lay people like Benjamin Yeo, Paul Raj, Lam Chun Mun, Ng Boon Kem & Wilson Kwan have boldly concluded that Joseph Prince’s teachings are heretical, the NCCS & APCCS, who are theologically trained, and being the Leaders and Shepherds of the Singapore Flock should be ashamed of themselves when they lack the courage to call out Joseph Prince as a heretic?
Benjamin Yeo
Attending Faith Methodist Church, Singapore wrote:
“… What bothers me is this
– our churches are too laid-back and diplomatic
when it comes to the false gospel of Joseph Prince.
Pastors must deal with the issue
of Joseph Prince’s heresies head-on.
There is no more room to take a nonchalant
and a Mr Nice-guy approach anymore.
Warning the body of Christ of false teachers
is the duty of every shepherd.
The shepherds of God’s flock cannot
and must not stay silent.
… The ministry of confronting and exposing Joseph Prince
as a false teacher is an unpleasant and unpopular task
that many Pastors would choose to avoid.
There are no gains from such a ministry
but only criticisms coming from, of all places,
some sections of the Body.
But thank God for George who rose to the challenge.
I know George to be a courageous teacher
who does not flinch from his call,
no matter how tough it is.
George is a man on a mission not vengeance.
He has paid a high price in his calling,
as a watchman to warn the sheep
against the wolf, Joseph Prince.
And I know he would stay the course with no fear.
It is time to stand up against such heresies.
Let’s give our full support to George
by spreading his teachings to as many as possible.
We cannot adopt a posture of inertia and indifference
and think this is not our problem.
It’s time to stand up and be counted.
George’s detailed study on Joseph Prince’s
false grace gospel, which can be found on his website,
is second to none.
He has debunked the false teachings of Joseph Prince
with solid biblical facts.
His arguments are thoroughly thought through
and painstakingly studied and researched.
In this, George is outstanding.”
George Ong’s Response:
When a lay person like Benjamin Yeo wrote
that warning the body of Christ about false teachers,
such as Joseph Prince,
is the duty of every shepherd

“…Such heresies of Joseph Prince
must not be tolerated by the church

I’m thankful to Rev George Ong
for taking up the challenge
of debunking Joseph Prince’s heresies.
There are many preachers
who are aware of the false teachings of Joseph Prince
but they dare not voice out.
But praise God for Rev George,
who has taken the bull by the horn,
and without fear or favour,
courageously exposed Joseph Prince’s heresies.
His purpose of doing so is that those who are caught
in the clutches of Joseph Prince’s teachings
will see the light and be delivered
from false teachings and avoid God’s final judgement.
Such a difficult calling of Rev George Ong is one
that not many would dare to undertake,
as it is fraught with dangers and pitfalls.
May God protect him and his family
from all harm as he carries out this tough calling.”
When a lay person like Paul Raj,
warned that the heresies of Joseph Prince

Lam Chun Mun
Attending Faith Methodist Church, Singapore, wrote:
“…In fact, I find myself asking who is this Jesus
he (Joseph Prince) is preaching about?
His Jesus seems to be different
from what I know from the Bible.
He even had an altar call at the end of that service
for those who wanted to believe in Jesus
when he did not even preach a word
on sin, repentance…
It left me wondering who are they believing in
for those who went forward.
I concluded this man’s teachings were dangerous
and decided not to have anything to do
with this man and his teachings.
I came to know later that the gospel he was preaching
was the prosperity gospel.
I began to warn others about his teachings.
… At that time,
I wished that some pastors or bible teachers
would speak up and warn believers
about such false teachings.
Thank God that He has raised Rev George Ong
to be the man to speak out against
Joseph Prince and his teachings.
He has been very thorough in his research
and soundly refutes these false teachings.
This takes courage, hard work and perseverance.
It is no easy task.
May many more pastors, church leaders and believers
rise up to refute, correct and warn fellow believers
of such false teachings
which are both dangerous and destructive.”
George Ong’s Response:
When a lay person like Lam Chun Mun, had alerted us
that Joseph Prince is teaching a different Jesus
from the Bible,

Ng Boon Kem
Attending Dream Centre Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia, wrote:
“First, I would like to commend you, Rev George Ong
for the painstaking effort taken to refute, rebuke
and correct the false teachings of Joseph Prince.
This is truly an unpopular task
that not many men of God would do,
but Rev George, you have done a marvellous job
by highlighting point by point and quoting the scriptures
to pin down the exact errors of Joseph Prince’s teachings.
The message of Joseph Prince that sounds like the truth
but is not the truth,
has deceived and blinded many misguided Christians,
who easily fell for it.
He has ‘cleverly’ mixed truth with error
for many of his doctrines,
and repackaged them as ‘gospel truths’.
But when Rev George Ong places the truth
of the scriptures next to Joseph Prince’s so-called truth,
the errors are starkly revealed.
… The time has come for more Pastors and believers
to stand up and speak up publicly
against the false teachings of Joseph Prince.
The time has also come for more Pastors and preachers
like Rev George Ong to boldly take to task false teachers,
such as Joseph Prince, and at the same time,
help the average believer to discern truth from error.
… Well done, Rev George Ong for your courageous effort
and keep it up for the Kingdom of God.”

Wilson Kwan
Attending Faith Methodist Church, Singapore, wrote:
“… There are plenty of other instances
where Joseph Prince’s teachings
can be proven to be false too.
… My deepest gratitude to Rev George’s hard work
for exposing the false teacher in Joseph Prince.
Joseph Prince teaches what the people want to hear,
but Rev George teaches what God wants you to listen to.
What impacted me most is Rev George’s boldness
to stand up against the popular views of Joseph Prince
that endears him to millions.
Though Joseph Prince doctrines are clearly unscriptural,
most in the church do not dare to stick out their necks
to challenge and debunk these doctrines.
But there is one man who dares – Rev George Ong.
His courage to expose Joseph Prince’s heresies publicly
is truly an excellent example for us to follow.”

Verbatim Notes of Ex New Creation Church Member
Joseph Kingsley’s Speech to NCCS & APCCS:
“Greetings To the Heads and Representatives
of the National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS)
and the Alliance of Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches
of Singapore (APCCS)
This is a Call to Discernment and Public Clarification
Concerning Teachings at New Creation Church by Joseph Prince.
My dear leaders and brothers and sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I speak to you today with a heavy heart,
yet full of love for our nation, for our churches,
and for the people of God in Singapore.
I come with a burden for the purity of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, for the truth of Scripture,
and for the spiritual well-being of all God’s children in this land.
I write this with love for our nation’s salvation
in the Word of God.
The Word reminds us in Isaiah 60:2,
“Darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people, but the Lord will arise over you.”
Today, I stand before you as a voice calling for the light of Christ
to shine over the darkness.
We live in times where deception, compromise,
and tolerance of false teachings are increasing
among the people of God.
The Church cannot remain silent.
We cannot ignore the dangers that arise
when the Gospel is diluted or misrepresented.
The light of Christ must expose
every unfruitful work of darkness.
Recently, I attended a Tamil service
at Cornerstone Community Church.
The senior pastor, Reverend Yang Tuck Yoong,
preached on sin tolerance.
His words struck my heart.
They reminded me silence in the face of error is agreement.
When leaders remain silent,
when councils do not speak,
when elders choose comfort over confrontation,
the very soil of the church becomes fertile
for spiritual deception.
Reverend Yang Tuck Yoong,
your preaching should first pierce your own heart
before it reaches the congregation.
Your silence, together with the silence of the NCCS,
gives room for teachings that mislead and misrepresent
the truth of God’s Word.
Matthew 12:30 says,
“He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.”
I ask you to reflect deeply:
isn’t silence in the face of these erroneous teachings
of Joseph Prince
also a form of participation with Joseph Prince?
Does it not bother your heart to see these errors continue
while everyone stays silent?
I raise before you today serious concerns about these teachings
being presented at New Creation Church by Joseph Prince.
These heretical teachings, though appealing
and presented with eloquence,
distort the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
They risk leading many into a false sense of security,
giving them comfort without true repentance,
blessings without surrender,
and faith without transformation
through the Word of God.
I urge the councils and all leaders to prayerfully consider
these matters and to act boldly in the fear of the Lord.
Let us review these points carefully:
First, the Gospel as presented by Joseph Prince,
often minimizes sin and repentance.
Many of the messages focus on blessings, on grace, on comfort,
but rarely call believers to repent or to die to self.
This can create spiritual slumber among God’s people,
a sleepiness of the soul where the seriousness of sin
is no longer understood.
1 Corinthians 15:34 warns,
“Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God.”
If the body of Christ does not call people to holiness, who will?
Second, Joseph Prince’s teachings
often conform to worldly desires.
Prosperity, personal success, and self-fulfillment
are emphasized more than submission to God’s will
according to The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The hearts of believers, especially young believers,
are drawn to temporal gain instead of eternal treasures.
1 John 2:15 says,
“Do not love the world or the things in the world.”
And Matthew 6:21 reminds us,
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Leaders, think deeply about what seeds are being planted
in the next generation.
Are we training young people
to chase after wealth and comfort,
or to chase after Christ and His word?
Third, Joseph Prince presents a Gospel
which can reshape the image of Christ
in ways that are dangerous.
When Scripture is selectively taught,
when verses are taken out of context,
when emphasis is placed on comfort and personal gain
over obedience and transformation,
Christ is unknowingly reshaped into a figure of convenience
rather than the Lord and King who calls us to surrender.
This mirrors the story in Exodus 32,
when the people fashioned a golden calf and said,
“This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.”
They used the name of God, yet their worship was misplaced.
Leaders, church members, councils,
this is a warning for all of us:
we must ensure that Christ is presented fully, in truth,
as He is revealed in Scripture.
The Lord warned us in Matthew 24:5,
“Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”
This is not only a warning about false messiahs
but also about false portrayals of the true Christ.
Comfort-driven, prosperity-focused, half-truth messages
can deceive many into believing they serve Christ
while their hearts are being shaped by something else.
If we do nothing, many lives could be led away from Jesus.
People may feel they are serving Christ,
praying to Christ, and living for Christ,
yet their understanding of Him is incomplete,
and their hearts are deceived.
Ephesians 5:11 instructs,
“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.”
We must expose error, not tolerate it, not ignore it.
Leaders, I beseech you, as shepherds of this nation,
to act with courage.
Address these matters of Joseph Prince
and his false teachings publicly.
Speak with clarity and authority.
Guide the people with the truth of God’s Word.
Let there be discernment among you.
Let the people know what constitutes the true Gospel
according to Scripture.
Warn them against teachings, like Joseph Prince’s,
that deviate from it.
The time for silence has passed.
The Spirit of the Lord is calling His people
to separate truth from mixture, light from darkness,
and Christ from counterfeit.
Enough of partaking in silence.
Enough of turning away while error grows.
The call is urgent.
The call is serious.
I say this with a heavy heart
but with full love for this nation, for the church,
and for the people of God in Singapore.
The burden is real.
The stakes are eternal.
We must act now, not tomorrow, not next year.
We must act to preserve the purity of the Gospel
and to save the souls of many
who may otherwise be led astray.
Leaders, reflect:
Are we content to tolerate error for comfort’s sake,
or are we willing to stand, to speak, to warn,
and to lead the flock into truth?
Are we willing to examine ourselves
before we examine others?
The Lord calls us to be watchmen.
The watchman’s duty is to sound the alarm
when danger approaches.
Ezekiel 33:6 says,
“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.”
Do not be silent.
Do not delay.
Do not let fear or comfort keep you from the truth.
Call the people to repentance.
Call the leaders to accountability.
Call the churches to clarity.
Stand firm in the Word of God.
Stand firm in the light of Christ.
Brothers and sisters, this is a time of testing.
The Church of Singapore is being tested.
Our leaders are being tested.
Our people are being tested.
Let us rise with courage, with boldness,
and with humility before the Lord.
Let us speak truth with love.
Let us uphold holiness and righteousness.
Let us separate truth from error.
Let us call everyone back to the fullness of the Gospel,
where repentance, faith, surrender, and transformation
are central.
May this message be received not as judgment from man,
but as a call from God.
May it stir the hearts of leaders, elders, and believers alike.
May it awaken a spirit of discernment, a spirit of courage,
and a spirit of obedience to God’s Word.
The time for silence has passed.
The Lord calls for clarity, boldness, and courage.
May God grant our leaders the wisdom to lead,
our churches the courage to discern,
and our people the hearts to follow Christ fully and truly.”
With solemn love and reverence in Christ,

Appendix 2
In the sermon, Pastor Jason Lim said:
Please click here to view the video:
“But Peter when he stepped out of line,
was rebuked by Paul
because Paul himself was committed to the gospel.
That was his loyalty, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It was Vince Havner who said,
“The devil is not fighting religion.
He’s too smart for that.
But he’s producing a counterfeit Christianity,
so much like the real one that good Christians
are afraid to speak out against it.”
To defend the gospel, we also need courage.
Now, you must understand the context here.
Peter is the most famous Christian on planet earth
then, I think.
Because he was the one who walk on water.
He was the one whom Jesus said specifically,
‘Feed my sheep,’ 3 times.
He was the one who preached at Pentecost
and 3,000 souls got saved.
He was the one who went to Cornelius’ house,
open the door of the gospel to the Gentiles.
He is the top dog in Christianity.
And who is Paul?
Paul is a great Apostle.
Yes, he is, eventually.
But maybe at this stage,
we are not sure exactly
when Acts 11 time or Acts 15 time, regardless,
Paul is not as famous or influential as we know him today.
So, it’s almost like a lower-rank guy,
if I may put it that way,
not so famous guy,
standing up to this famous Peter,
and saying,
“You are wrong.
You are condemned.
You are to be rebuked.”
Wow, but that’s what is needed to defend the gospel.
The church is in trouble if the church,
the people of the church,
the brothers and sisters in Christ,
are afraid to speak out against false teachings.
It doesn’t matter who that preacher is.
Can be myself.
Can be someone else.
But we should never cower in fear, saying,
“O, because he’s a pastor,
even though I know it’s clearly out of line
with the gospel,
I dare not say.”
But if gospel realities are misrepresented,
then we need that courage
because we all are responsible
for the defence of the gospel.”
In a teaching session, George Ong said:
Please click here to view the video:
“We did not give in to them for a moment,
so that the truth of the gospel
might be preserved for you.
Now, this is just as an aside.
Paul said we did not give in to them.
Who are the them?
The false teacher who pushes in the circumcision issue,
for a moment.
Another version states
we did not give in to them for an inch.
That’s what I am doing.
We cannot give an inch to Joseph Prince.
He’s a false teacher.
You must fight it all the way.
So, when I am following the example of Paul,
people get agitated, how come I am so.
Of course, they do not know the scriptures.
They do not know the Old Testament
treats false prophets very seriously.
They were sentenced to death.
Even those people who follow them.
And you know, I don’t have the time to show you,
you go back and read.
Jesus, Paul, Peter all treat false teachers very seriously.
That’s why Paul pronounced a double curse,
you’ve read right just now,
on those who preach false teaching.
And Paul here again,
(said) we did not give in to them for a moment.
That’s what I am doing.
And yet people will say,
how come he does that,
when they haven’t even do what the scriptures tell them
to contend for the faith and against heresies.
Another, Galatians 2:11-16, still Galatians;
When Cephas, this is Peter,
when Cephas came to Antioch,
I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned.
Now, here is what’s happening is that Paul,
a junior was confronting his senior, Peter.
And who is Peter?
An Apostle.
This is serious, you know.
Paul had to confront an Apostle, who’s a senior, publicly.
It was a public rebuke
because Peter, he was scared of the circumcision group.
He was afraid of the circumcision group,
who (was) trying to push circumcision
as a requirement for salvation.
Paul cannot take it,
so, he had to publicly rebuke another Apostle.
We have to admit that Paul was right,
Peter was wrong in this matter.
Now, think with me;
if Paul had the guts and courage
to publicly rebuke, reprimand a senior apostle,
why is the church so scared
about rebuking Joseph Prince by name?
Something is wrong.
When I do the right thing, they say;
I say, I’m just following Paul, Mah.
He rebuked a senior Apostle for he (Peter) nearly strayed;
Joseph Prince is a heretic,
what’s happening?
Why is it nobody dare to even utter his name?
Something is wrong.
So, if Paul had the courage to confront Peter publicly
because the gospel is at stake,
Joseph Prince is clearly a false teacher.
You know why because people don’t want to say anything
for years, years, he built up his influence.
Years, he built up his influence,
10,000, 5,000, 10,000, 15, 20, 30, 34,000,
the biggest church in Singapore.
And bigger than all the denominations
except the Methodists.
The Methodists, 40 over thousand. 34.
What is worse is that
because the National Leadership in Singapore
and all the Pastors, including myself,
we don’t take corporate responsibility;
he (Joseph Prince) is our own backyard,
allowed it to be worse
and influenced the world, everywhere, I can tell you.
You can check the number of clicks,
hundreds of thousands, millions of clicks.
And yet still, Pastors don’t want to say anything.
I have to do something.
I can tell you there are many;
I met many spiritual leaders who are godly,
who are biblical,
who are expository experts preaching everywhere,
but that’s one thing is missing – guts.
Let me put it in a nicer way – courage.
They lack the courage to do what is necessary.
So that is why Joseph Prince has been allowed to flourish (unhindered)
until it’s very difficult, you know.
Those who have been influenced, brainwashed already.
No matter what you say,
I’m sure you have the experience,
no matter what you say, they will protect him.
They have been brainwashed.
So, we just have to do our part.
I don’t say the Singapore leadership don’t do anything;
I don’t do anything.
No.
I try to do something.
And I hope each one of you will do a bit more
because we know his false teaching.
How I wish if the National Leadership of Singapore
would have stepped in earlier,
it would have clipped his wings, you see,
and then his influence would not have (been so massive);
now, I tell you, he (Joseph Prince) doesn’t care.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t care, you see.
We must do something.
We cannot do everything
but we have to do whatever we can.
They don’t do anything
but does it mean I don’t do anything?
No.
I try to do something
because I am ultimately responsible to God.”
