The Reason Files Apology to the New IFB Reveals More than Meets the Eye

The recent disruption of the New IFB Fundamentalist Conference resulted in an apology from the Reason Files, but the response of the NIFB revealed what we have been saying all along - there are very real and serious deficiencies within the movement. Is it acceptable for a Christian pastor to mock one who comes to him with an apology? Is it possible for a Christian to refuse to forgiveness, and instead call an apology stupid?

I mistakenly cite verse 8 of Matthew 18, when it was actually verse 28, I was reading from a printed copy that had been misprinted.

They don't have the fruit of the spirit, they are in the flesh... They are going in the way of King saul!!

That response by Mejia at 3:02 shows their true colors. They don't care about souls. They may brag about "soul winning", and put out numbers, but they don't care about making true Christ's disciples. They claim to love people, but they love to hate, and jump on every opportunity to hate and condemn someone to hell. They feed on it.
For someone who claims to follow Christ and Bible alone, I would like them to show us where Jesus mocked a repentant sinner who came to Him asking for forgiveness. Did Jesus mock the thief on the cross who first railed on Him along with the other, but then repented?

I immediately remembered what James White said in response to Ben the Baptist, calling Ben for repentance and saying that they would welcome repentance, unlike New IFB who would fry anyone who dares to point out New IFB errors. I think it's telling sign of a fundamental error in New IFB theology - and we are seeing the fruits of it.
It's amazing how many parallels there are between the New IFB and the Pharisees.

Thank you for the video. I hope and pray that the good people stuck in the New IFB would listen long enough to make them think, and see the difference between true Christianity (demonstrated by Pastor Dollar, James White, Robert Tuttle) and Phariseeism (demonstrated by Anderson, Mejia, Shelley, etc.). Recognizing that difference was one major influence in my leaving the New IFB and accepting Reformed Christianity.

They (Reason files) made a video admitting they were wrong, explained why they were wrong and apologised for it.
It's a huge step, a huge sign of humility and definitely more Christ-like.
But how did the super pompous arrogant Bruce Mejia and his fellow cult leaders responded to it?; by calling them losers, calling them "Bozzos" (Anderson's frequently used word), and as a narcissist's gaslighting tactics turned it around to say "God confounding them".
Such behaviour exposes the spiritual immaturity of these men in the nifb. They never apologies to anyone and the do not accept anyone's apology. It is radical, wild and toxic. Praise of men within the cult is more important to them than obeying God and walking in the spirit.

They will hate these verses below because it totally contradicts them. They have zero love for anyone outside of the little cult.

Matthew 5.43-48
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Behaving like Muslims? This is very sad but true.
