Rev Yang Tuck Yoong & Rev Dominic Yeo, the 2 foremost & current leaders of the Singapore Pentecostal movement, should respond & contend against Joseph Prince’s utterly false doctrine against the Pentecostals

 

that first, speaking in tongues is a proclamation and declaration that all our present and future sins are automatically forgiven at conversion without confession & repentance;

 

and second, speaking in tongues will make one healthy.

 

Let me emphasise to Rev Yang Tuck Yoong and Rev Dominic Yeo, who are the shepherds of the Singapore flock, that Joseph Prince, unless they can prove otherwise, is a heretic, a false teacher and a wolf in sheepskin.

 

Rev Yang Tuck Yoong:

Founding Member and Chairman of the Alliance of Pentecostal & Charismatic Churches of Singapore (APCCS).

 

Rev Dominic Yeo:

Founding Member and Co-Chairman of the Alliance of Pentecostal & Charismatic Churches of Singapore (APCCS),

and also Chairman of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, Executive Committee Member of the Pentecostal World Fellowship

and the General Superintendent of The Assemblies of God of Singapore.

 

This article was also sent to the Alliance of Pentecostal & Charismatic Churches of Singapore (APCCS), for the attention of Rev Yang Tuck Yoong and Rev Dominic Yeo.

 

Important Announcement:

 

In the sermon on 29 June 2025, 3 days ago,

 

when Joseph Prince preached,

 

I caught him showing a Satan’s hand sign.

Is Joseph Prince worshipping God or Satan?

 

Though it may or may not be universally accepted

 

as a sign of Satan,

 

Joseph Prince ought to be aware

 

that this is the sign

 

that many commonly associate with the devil.

 

If that is the case,

 

why is Joseph Prince displaying the Satan’s hand sign

 

when he was preaching and leading New Creation Church

 

to worship – who – God or Satan? 

 

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.

Part 1: Pentecostals violently disagree with Joseph Prince that speaking in tongues is a proclamation and declaration that all our present and future sins are automatically forgiven at conversion without confession & repentance.

 

In the sermon on 29 June 2025, 3 days ago, Joseph Prince said:

 

Please click here to view the video:

 

“Something very interesting,

 

even the Pentecostal, Charismatic people

 

that preach on praying in tongues, and all that;

 

it seems like that after for a while, people just stop.

 

You know why?

 

It’ll tell you why.

 

Because of the legalism, and we make it legalistic.

 

We make it like.

 

We need to be assured that our sins

 

(present & future) are forgiven.

 

So, in other words, speaking in tongues

 

is a declaration that all your sins (present, & future)

 

have been forgiven.

 

Now I’m not saying, please don’t quote me by saying

 

that those who don’t pray in tongues,

 

their sins are not forgiven.

 

I’m just saying that it (praying in tongues)

 

is a proclamation that all our sins (present & future)

 

are forgiven.

 

As you pray in tongues,

 

you need to know all your sins (present & future)

 

are forgiven first,

 

or else, it will hinder your tongues.

 

And if you say, well, you know,

 

you got to do this, you gotta do that,

 

and you bring your Pentecostal laws.

 

You bring your man-made rules, right,

 

it will jam the flow of praying in tongues. Amen.

 

You can tell whether you are under grace

 

or not under grace

 

when your tongues just stopped.

 

Somewhere along the way, you fell from grace.

 

You lost your grasp on grace.

 

You no more flowing in the spirit.

 

Are you listening?

 

Get back into the flow.     

 

The more assured you are that you are forgiven

 

of all your sins (present & future),

 

you ought to go like this,

 

Sha…..Amen.

 

That is an indication that the Holy Spirit is in you.

 

And do you know the Holy Spirit can live in you?

 

You know how clean you are by the blood of Jesus?

 

That means the blood of Jesus has cleaned you so much

 

that the Holy Spirit can live in you.”

 

At the outset, let me make it clear

 

that all Bible-believing churches,

 

including the Pentecostal churches,

 

believe that all past sins are forgiven

 

when confessed at conversion.

 

But they do not subscribe to Joseph Prince’s heretical teachings

 

that not only past sins,

 

but also all present and future sins,

 

that are not yet committed,

 

are automatically forgiven at the cross

 

without confession (1 Jn 1:9).

 

All Bible-believing churches,

 

including the Pentecostal churches,

 

also do not hold to Joseph Prince’s teachings

 

that even though one can leave God

 

and live a lifestyle of sin without repenting,

 

he will still be saved.

 

In a sermon, Joseph Prince said:

 

Please click here to view the video:

 

“Okay, Pastor Prince, I know a friend,

 

used to be a Christian, used to be this, bla bla bla.

 

Number 1, we do not know

 

if he is a professor or possessor. 

 

But let’s say he is a possessor, he is saved. 

 

He left the Lord and all that. 

 

You would be surprised, 

 

even though he lived a lifestyle of sin, 

 

salvation is more solid than his lifestyle. 

 

And maybe he dies young. 

 

But in heaven, you’re going to see him. 

 

You’re going to see him because salvation

 

is not because of what he did. 

 

He will never perish.”

 

No true Christian and Pastor from every theological persuasion

 

will ever believe Joseph Prince’s teaching,

 

that one, who has left God,

 

and whose lifestyle is characterised by sin,

 

can still make it to heaven.

 

This is a Satanic lie that Joseph Prince has concocted

 

from the pit of hell!

 

 

Now, back to the topic.

 

First, Joseph Prince said:

 

Please click here to view the video:

 

“Something very interesting,

 

even the Pentecostal, Charismatic people

 

that preach on praying in tongues, and all that;

 

it seems like that after for a while, people just stop.

 

You know why?

 

It’ll tell you why.

 

Because of the legalism, and we make it legalistic.

 

We make it like.

 

We need to be assured that our sins

 

(present & future) are forgiven.

 

… And if you say, well, you know,

 

you got to do this, you gotta do that,

 

and you bring your Pentecostal laws.

 

You bring your man-made rules, right,

 

it will jam the flow of praying in tongues. Amen.”

 

How does Joseph Prince know

 

that that is the situation (see above)

 

of the Pentecostals in Singapore?

 

How does Joseph Prince know

 

that it was because of legalism and man-made rules

 

that has stopped the Pentecostals from speaking in tongues?

 

Has he interacted or fellowshipped

 

with the Singapore Pentecostal Pastors,

 

(or even any Singapore Pastor

 

from the different denominations

 

for that matter,)

 

on a regular basis?

 

The answer is a resounding no.

 

As I have said many times, Joseph Prince is a lone ranger.

 

So, Joseph Prince is merely throwing up

 

his usual strawman tactic,

 

to support whatever arguments he wants to make.

 

But what’s worse is that

 

Joseph Prince forgets to look at himself

 

in the mirror before he criticises others.

 

This is because this website has proven

 

that Joseph Prince is a serial and incorrigible liar.

 

And one of his latest lies that he told

 

– almost 10 out of 10 who left New Creation Church

 

was because they were corrected.

 

In a sermon, Joseph Prince said:

 

Please click here to view the video:

 

“I’ll tell you almost 10 out of 10,

 

they have been corrected and they didn’t like it.

 

Corrected, instead of humbling, receiving that wisdom,

 

so that they can be better and profit from that,

 

they choose to leave and they speak bad.

 

Just ask them the question

 

when they bad-mouthed the church;

 

just asked them have you been corrected?

 

… Have you been corrected for some reason

 

– financial issue, sexual issue, whatever issues, Amen.

 

Thank you, Lord.”

 

How can a persistent liar like Joseph Prince

 

claim to speak and pray in tongues

 

that is of the Spirit?

 

How can Joseph Prince who possesses a lying tongue

 

whom the Lord hates:

 

Proverbs 6:16-17 NIV

16 There are six things the Lord hates,

seven that are detestable to him:

17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue…

 

be speaking in tongues that are of God?

 

 

Second, Joseph Prince said:

 

Please click here to view the video:

 

“We need to be assured that our sins

 

(present & future) are forgiven.

 

So, in other words, speaking in tongues

 

is a declaration that all your sins (present & future)

 

have been forgiven.

 

… I’m just saying that it (praying in tongues)

 

is a proclamation that all our sins (present & future)  

 

are forgiven.

 

As you pray in tongues,

 

you need to know all your sins (present & future)

 

are forgiven first,

 

or else, it will hinder your tongues.”

 

Joseph Prince said and taught that speaking in tongues

 

is a proclamation and declaration

 

that all our present and future sins are automatically forgiven

 

at conversion without confession or repentance.

 

This is an utterly false doctrine

 

that Joseph Prince preaches against the Pentecostals.

 

While the Pentecostals believe

 

in the doctrine of speaking in tongues,

 

they violently reject his teaching

 

that every single present and future sin

 

that are not yet committed

 

is automatically forgiven at the cross

 

without the need for confession and repentance.

 

Joseph Prince also said and taught

 

that when you pray in tongues,

 

you need to know that all your sins (present & future)

 

are automatically forgiven first

 

without confession or repentance,

 

or else, your tongue-speaking will be hindered.

 

This was also never taught by the Pentecostals.

 

As a matter of fact,

 

the Pentecostals, like all Bible-believing Christians,

 

teach that while past sins are forgiven,

 

present and future sins are not automatically forgiven

 

at the cross, unless they are confessed (1 Jn 1:9).

 

 

Third, Joseph Prince also said:

 

Please click here to view the video:

 

“The more assured you are that you are forgiven

 

of all your sins (present & future),

 

you ought to go like this,

 

Sha….. Amen.

 

That is an indication that the Holy Spirit is in you.”

 

Is Joseph Prince also saying that because the Pentecostals

 

don’t subscribe to his belief

 

that all present and future sins are automatically forgiven

 

without confession,

 

they cannot speak in tongues

 

and the Holy Spirit is not in them?

 

 

Next, Joseph Prince’s teaching that every present and future sin

 

is automatically forgiven at the cross

 

without confession and repentance

 

is a direct rebellion against Jesus’ & Paul’s teachings,

 

and also goes against the teaching of the Historic Church,

 

the Reformation Church

 

and that of every Bible-believing Church in Singapore

 

 

First, Joseph Prince’s teaching on present and future sins

 

are automatically forgiven at the cross

 

goes against the Apostle Paul’s teachings in Ephesians 4:25-31:

“And do you know the Holy Spirit can live in you?

 

You know how clean you are by the blood of Jesus?

 

That means the blood of Jesus has cleaned you so much

 

that the Holy Spirit can live in you.”

 

As usual, Joseph Prince is teaching and deceiving you

 

with the half-truth

 

that from the viewpoint of justification,

 

we are forgiven of our past sins

 

and the Holy Spirit can live in us.

 

But the other half of the half-truth

 

that he hides from you,

 

is that from the viewpoint of sanctification,

 

the Holy Spirit can be grieved

 

by your present and future sins (Eph 4:30)

 

which Joseph Prince falsely teaches

 

that they have all been forgiven and dealt with.

 

 

Second, Joseph Prince’s teaching on present and future sins

 

are automatically forgiven at the cross

 

goes against the Lord Jesus’ teachings in Revelation 2-3:

Part 2: Pentecostals do not subscribe to Joseph Prince’s doctrine that speaking in tongues will make one healthy, or there is a direct relationship or a cause-and-effect relationship between speaking in tongues and one’s health.

 

In the sermon on 29 June 2025, 3 days ago, Joseph Prince said:

 

Please click here to view the video:

 

“And I’ve not even told you how it (speaking in tongues)

 

builds your house (1 Cor 14:4).

 

And when Bible talks about house,

 

it’s your entire body as well.

 

It’s known as the temple of God, the Oiko domeo.

 

Whoever prays in tongues, Oiko domeo himself.

 

Doesn’t say build only your spirit.

 

No, the word spirit is not there.

 

Whoever speaks in tongue,

 

builds himself, spirit, soul, body.” 

 

In another sermon on the same topic, Joseph Prince said:

 

Please click here to view the video:

 

“When you pray in tongues;

 

Today, I focus on one benefit.

 

Not about intercession.

 

The benefit is how it builds up your body

 

and keep you in a place where you are built up

 

so that stress, worry, fear, anxiety, panic attacks,

 

will not have any more leeway

 

or any more victory over your life.

 

You can be free from addictions

 

and you can even be free from physical infirmities.

 

1 Corinthians 14:4:

 

‘He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.’

 

Say edifies.

 

Today, we say edify in terms,

 

‘Well, Pastor Prince,

 

your message today was edifying.’

 

In other words, morally comforting, morally inspiring,

 

or whatever.

 

But we don’t think in terms of physical.

 

But the root word, actually is physical,

 

referring to a building.

 

In fact, in the Greek, this word here, in the Greek,

 

edifies is the word oiko domeo.

 

Oikos is a house, a building.

 

Domeo is to build the building.

 

Dom, domeo

 

Oikos domeo, to build a house.

 

Oikos, a house.

 

Oh well, Pastor Prince, we are not houses.

 

Hae Hae. We are.

 

We are temples.

 

You know which part of you is a temple?

 

Oh, my spirit, that’s what we’ve been told.

 

Your spirit is not a temple; your body is the temple.

 

Look at 1 Corinthians 6:19a

 

‘Or do you know that your body is the temple…’

 

Your what? Your body.

 

Your body is the temple.

 

Now, I know the Holy Spirit  dwells in our spirit.

 

But doesn’t say your spirit is the temple.

 

You cannot find in the Bible.

 

It says your spirit is the temple.

 

It says your body is the temple.

 

Your soma in the Greek, your body.

 

And because the word edify, Oiko domeo means

 

building, constructing or repairing a house or building.  

 

Which part of your person is the temple, your body?

 

That means when you pray in tongues,

 

you’re preparing, you’re building, constructing,

 

you’re repairing your body.”               

    

Joseph Prince said:

 

“Today, we say edify (1 Cor 14:4) in terms,

 

‘Well, Pastor Prince,

 

your message today was edifying.’

 

In other words, morally comforting, morally inspiring,

 

or whatever.

 

But we don’t think in terms of physical.

 

But the root word actually is physical,

 

referring to a building.”

 

First, we don’t think in terms of the physical

 

because it’s not in the context of 1 Corinthians 14.

 

So what if the root word is physical?

 

The meaning of how a word is used in the text

 

is finally not determined by the root word

 

but the context.

 

This is basic exegesis 101.

 

I can’t believe this.

 

When Joseph Prince has failed in basic exegesis,

 

how to properly exegete a Bible text,

 

he has the shamelessness

 

to teach the world about the scriptures.

 

And the worst is his congregations

 

have the stupidity and ignorance to believe him.

 

So let me repeat

 

– the meaning of how the word is used in the text

 

is finally not determined by the root word

 

but the context.

 

(The root word only gives some semblance or idea

 

of how the word is used.)

 

So, what is the context

 

of 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14 in general,

 

and especially 1 Corinthians 14:4 in particular?

 

Paul said that God has given the body of Christ

 

with many spiritual gifts (1 Cor 12)

 

to edify the church.

 

By the term ‘spiritual gifts’

 

means that they have do with the spiritual, not physical.

 

Though the spiritual gift of healing is mentioned,

 

the bulk of these spiritual gifts

 

are to edify the spirit-man.

 

They are to spiritually edify (not physically) the church.

 

However, these spiritual gifts are to be exercised in love (I Cor 13).

 

Then Paul zeroed in on 2 spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 14:4:

 

1 Corinthians 14:4

 

4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves,

 

but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

 

What Paul is simply saying is that

 

one who prays in tongues, edifies or strengthens

 

or builds up (from the root word, building) himself or herself

 

spiritually.

 

It has nothing to do with the physical

 

or the health of a body.

 

Please read the larger context of 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14

 

and tell me where in them

 

is the word or idea of physical health mentioned

 

that Joseph Prince tries to cast a wool of deception over us?

 

Except for the gift of healing,

 

nothing was mentioned in 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14

 

about the fact that we can have perfect health,

 

which Joseph Prince said:

 

“When you pray in tongues…

 

You can be free from addictions

 

and you can even be free from physical infirmities.”

 

Second, Joseph Prince has used his same old trick of half-truth

 

to deceive people again.

 

Please refer to The Blue Letter Bible as follows;

 

for the link, please see below:

 

1 Corinthians 14:4 (KJV)

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth G3618 himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth G3618 the church.

 

Strong’s Definitions

οἰκοδομέω oikodoméō, oy-kod-om-eh’-o; from the same as G3619; to be a house-builder, i.e. construct or (figuratively) confirm:—(be in) build(-er, -ing, up), edify, embolden.

 

Outline of Biblical Usage

 

I. to build a house, erect a building

A. to build (up from the foundation)

B. to restore by building, to rebuild, repair

 

II. metaph.

A. to found, establish

B. to promote growth in Christian wisdom, affection, grace, virtue, holiness, blessedness

C. to grow in wisdom and piety

 

Joseph Prince only shows you the first half – (Part) I,

 

but he hides from you the second half – (Part) II.

 

It is the second half that talks about the spiritual aspects

 

which the meaning of the word ‘edifies’ also contains.

 

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g3618/kjv/tr/0-1/

 

You see how terrible this guy, Joseph Prince is.

 

A person who recalcitrantly uses half-truths to deceive people

 

is no different from a serial liar.  

 

Third, Joseph Prince tries to make the connection

 

between the root word, which refers to a building

 

and our bodies, which refers to a temple.

 

For the sake of logic

 

(Just from the viewpoint of logic, not Bible exegesis),

 

his argument is logical

 

only if the body represents the physical temple.

 

Physical building – Physical temple!

 

But does the body represent the physical temple?

 

No.

 

The physical temple was torn down in AD 70.

 

And because we are no longer in the Old Covenant

 

but under the New,

 

there is no longer the physical temple.

 

So, when Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6:19

 

that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,

 

it simply means the spiritual presence of the Holy Spirit

 

dwells in us – in our bodies.

 

But Joseph Prince’s logic could only stand

 

when the root word of ‘edifies’

 

which he says represents the physical building

 

corresponds to the body which represents the physical temple.

 

Yet, I have proven

 

it has nothing to do with physical temple or building,

 

as the physical temple is no longer in existence.

 

This shows up his logical flaw.

 

Another related logical flaw is for Joseph Prince

 

to equate physical buildings with physical bodies.

 

Although both are prefaced with the word, ‘physical’,

 

our bodies are strictly not in the same category as buildings.

 

Fourth, Joseph Prince has already committed the error

 

of not interpreting a text in its context

 

in 1 Corinthians 14:4.

 

But Joseph Prince exacerbates it further

 

by using a different text in another context

 

in 1 Corinthians 6:19

 

(and 1 Corinthians chapter 6

 

has nothing to do with physical healing or perfect health, too),

 

which is also foreign to the context in 1 Corinthians 14:4

 

to interpret the text.

 

This is what I call parachute exegesis.

 

Joseph Prince parachutes a foreign text in 1 Corinthians 6:19

 

into 1 Corinthians 14:4

 

to try and twist the text to the meaning he wants to

 

– physical healing or perfect health. 

 

Fifth, when Joseph Prince flashed the text in 1 Corinthians 14:4

 

1 Corinthians 14:4:

 

“He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself,

 

but he who prophesies edifies the church,”     

 

did you notice that

 

he only talked about the first part of the verse (tongue)

 

but he was silent on the second part of it (prophesies)?

 

I will tell you why.

 

This is because his agenda is on tongues.

 

But assuming Joseph Prince is right,

 

can I follow the way he argues

 

and also say that

 

just as one who speaks in tongues can have perfect health.

 

because he will be free from physical infirmities,

 

“He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself,” (1 Cor 14:4a)

 

one who prophesies,

 

“but he who prophesies edifies the church,” (1 Cor 14:4b)    

 

can also result in the perfect health of the entire church

 

because the same word ‘edifies’ and its Greek word,

 

is used in both instances

 

– in both 1 Corinthians 14a and 14b.

 

Are you beginning to realise how ridiculous

 

Joseph Prince’s teaching on 1 Corinthians 14:4

 

is leading us to?

 

Also, in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17,

 

16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

 

the word, ‘temple’ that Paul referred to

 

is not the physical building

 

or individual believers as in 1 Corinthians 6:19,

 

but the church. 

 

But this becomes ridiculous!

 

I supposed if we follow Joseph Prince’s teaching,

 

and if we manage to convince the unbelievers,

 

the Minister of Health of Singapore

 

may be reassigned to another ministry,

 

and all the hospitals and medical clinics

 

would have to close down

 

– as all that is needed for perfect health

 

is just teach people to pray in tongues

 

that Joseph Prince teaches.

 

Sixth, let me quote what Martyn Lloyd-Jones said.

 

In ‘Exposition of Romans Chapter 9, God’s Sovereign Purpose,’

 

Martyn Lloyd-Jones said:

 

“Now this is the most alarming thing

 

that we can ever realize about ourselves.

 

Every one of us is subject to prejudice.

 

There is not one of us that is free from it;

 

the devil sees to that.

 

And the prejudices are almost endless in number.

 

So that when we come to the Scriptures

 

we come with a prejudiced eye

 

and we see what we want to see.

 

That is what the heretics have always done,

 

is it not?

 

They (heretics) have always quoted Scripture.

 

Some of the modem heretics…

 

take the Scriptures with this prejudiced mind

 

and understanding,

 

you can make them prove almost anything you like.

 

… The Pharisees and those known as the Rabbinical writers

 

were very fond of using Scripture to serve their own ends.

 

It is not confined to them

 

– every heretic has done the same thing

 

and it is still being done.

 

… People very often hold a wrong view,

 

and then they say, ‘Scripture says this’;

 

but they are quoting a Scripture

 

which really does not apply to the case.

 

We should always try to come as little children

 

and be ready to find that we are wrong.

 

There is no disgrace in changing our minds

 

or in saying, ‘I was wrong.’

 

Why, it is a most wonderful thing to say.

 

There is a kind of consistency

 

that is most reprehensible, it is small-minded.

 

We should be big enough

 

to confess that we were wrong.

 

We should not come merely

 

to substantiate what we have always said and thought.”

 

What Martyn Lloyd-Jones said

 

aptly described the heretic, Joseph Prince.

 

Joseph Prince is the modern Pharisee and heretic,

 

who comes to the scriptures

 

already with a preconceived mind,

 

filled with his abominable grace doctrines. 

 

Then Prince would interpret many verses and passages

 

not according to the contexts,

 

but according to his prism of his grace theology.

 

Joseph Prince is filled with pride

 

that he wouldn’t admit that he was wrong,

 

even though what he teaches can be so easily proven

 

as garbage that is fit for the dumps.

 

My last point is that Joseph Prince, the preacher of grace,

 

is ironically, adding laws upon laws on his people.

 

Joseph Prince is not only saying to his people

 

that if they want to have good and perfect health,

 

They must not only take the Holy Communion as many times a day as they take medicine

 

They must not only speak and declare with their mouths that the sickness is gone

 

They must not only have faith…

 

But now, they must also speak in tongues.

 

Cunningly, Joseph Prince is also setting up another excuse

 

for those who aren’t healed through his ministry

 

– that one reason they are not experiencing good health

 

is that they do not speak in tongues,

 

or they have not spoken in tongues

 

as frequently as they should.

 

You see how slimy and wicked, this guy, Joseph Prince is!

 

Rev George Ong

 

Appendix 1

 

A Christian may, by the grace of God,

 

incidentally experience good health

 

because he speaks in tongues.

 

Even if this is true,

 

this cannot be used to teach as a doctrine

 

that applies to all

 

– that just because believers speak in tongues,

 

they will experience good health. 

 

 

Appendix 2

 

Verbatim Notes of George Ong’s Teachings

 

First, Joseph Prince’s teaching on present and future sins

 

are automatically forgiven at the cross

 

goes against the Apostle Paul’s teachings in Ephesians 4:25-31:

 

In a teaching session, George Ong said:

 

“Are you aware that Paul in this text alone

 

contradicted so many of Joseph Prince’s teachings.

Because one of Joseph Prince’s teachings, I’ve already said,

that all your future sins are forgiven.

That when you sin, never think about sin

because that is sin-conscious.

When you sin, think about yourself

 

as the righteousness of God in Christ.

Now, Joe, is that what Paul taught here?

Is that what Paul taught here?

Paul lists every kind of sin there, you know.

If every of our future sins is forgiven,

why is Paul listing all these sins here? Why?

You said that we must not be sin-conscious,

we must be righteousness-conscious,

 

then you better lecture Paul.

Because Paul, by putting all these sins here,

 

means that he is sin-conscious, you know,

 

according to your teachings.

So, why is Paul listing every sin here?

You know, and all these sins,

what they do to God?

What they do to the Holy Spirit?

They grieve the Holy Spirit.

How can these sins grieve the Holy Spirit,

when you said, all our future sins are forgiven already.

If they are all forgiven, why would these sins grieve God?

Joe, you are terrible liar.

Paul was the one who contradicted you time and time again.

Remember Joe,

 

you teach that, you know, God doesn’t see the sins in us.

What do you mean?

You mean, then how come Paul brought out so many sins?

How come, these sins can grieve the Holy Ghost,

 

if God does not see the sins in us?

I tell you, this scripture alone

 

contradicted Joseph Prince time and time again

 

that he learned it from Paul.”

 

Second, Joseph Prince’s teaching on present and future sins

 

are automatically forgiven at the cross

 

goes against the Lord Jesus’ teachings in Revelation 2-3:

 

In a teaching session, George Ong said:

“Future sins are forgiven.

 

Now, you know his teaching, right,

 

all future sins are forgiven without the need of confession.

 

Now, this goes right against what Jesus teaches.

 

What did Jesus tell the Church of Ephesus?

 

Repent.

 

You ask the next question, repent from what?


From sin, Lah.

 

Hey Joe, I hope your ability to reason is still there.

 

Isn’t it?

 

Repent from sin.

 

So, if Jesus tells the Church of Ephesus, repent from sin,

 

it simply means that future sins, present sins

 

are not all forgiven.

 

Am I right?

 

That’s why, Jesus asked the Church of Ephesus to repent.

 

It’s not just the Church of Ephesus,

 

Church of Pergamum, repent.

 

Church of Thyatira, repent.

 

Church of Sardis, repent.

 

Church of Laodicea, repent.

 

Repent from sins.

 

So, Joseph Prince by teaching

 

that all our future sins are forgiven,

 

without confession, without repentance,

 

is going directly against Jesus.

 

Who is Jesus?

 

He’s God.

 

He’s the Son of God.

 

He’s God.

 

So, imagine, Joseph Prince directly teaches against God.

 

How can he not be a heretic?

 

And this is not the only time, so many times.

 

You know, let’s say, you made a mistake,

 

you teach against God,

 

you realise it,

 

you “Chua”, you know,

 

hokkien say, you fear oh, forgive me,

 

you will not repeat it,

 

But our friend, Joe, reckless abundance,

 

teaches against Jesus, time after time, after time,

 

with no repentance.

 

So, by teaching that all our future sins are forgiven

 

without the need for repentance and confession

 

goes head-on and rebelling against the teachings of Jesus.”

 

Third, Joseph Prince’s teaching on present and future sins

 

are automatically forgiven at the cross

 

goes against the Historic Church, the Reformation Church

 

and that of every Bible-believing Church in Singapore:

 

In a teaching session, George Ong said:


“Future sins are forgiven without confession,

not taught by the Reformation Fathers.

Ok Joe, can you name me one Reformation father

 

that teaches all future sins

are forgiven without confession?

Name it, come on.

You can’t, right?

How about evangelical church fathers?

Any?

Like John Stott, Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

teach the same thing as you?

What about contemporary church fathers?

What about Singapore church?

Any in the Singapore Church do you know,

 

Singapore Pastor teach that all our future sins are forgiven

without confession, without repentance?

I exposed you again Joe; you are on the fringe of the fringe.

You are not in the mainstream.

That is why nobody teaches the way you teach.

People, have I proven that Joseph Prince is a liar,

 

keeps lying that he’s in the mainstream.

And I’ve proven time after time

 

he’s worse than the mainstream.

He’s a heretic.”

“But what is worst is that future sins forgiven

 

without confession is never taught

 

by the Reformation Fathers.

Hey Joe, you said that future sins are forgiven,

 

now, you just name me one Reformation Father

 

that teach this.

There is none and you dare to teach.

Wah Li Kar Kee Cho Cheng Hoo See Bo (Hokkien).

You want to be your own government.

Where is your support?

Which church father teach the same thing

 

future sins are forgiven without confession?

All the early church fathers, contemporary church fathers,

Singapore church,

tell me, which Singapore church,

which Singapore pastor teaches

 

all our future sins are forgiven without confession?

Which one?

 

Name it?

You can’t name it.

You are your own government.

You teach anything you like

So, that’s why you’re a heretic.

That’s why I call you a lone ranger.

You’re a lone ranger as far as doctrine is concerned.

You are the only one who declare such a teaching.”
