This video and the the short quotes and articles that we have added to this website concerning the false gospel of John Piper is to expose the heresies that he is proclaiming in his books and from the pulpit.

These heresies are as follows.

1) He teaches the heresy of universal atonement.

2) He teaches that there are many conditions that the sinner must meet for salvation as shown in the above video.

3) He believes that we are justified by what God ENABLES his elect to perform, which we and others call the “reformed version of salvation conditioned on the sinner.” If a gospel is preached where salvation is conditioned on anything that man must do, EVEN IF God enables them to perform it as they say, then this is another gospel.

The truth is that Christ Jesus met ALL of the conditions for the salvation of His people and when he cried “IT IS FINISHED”, it really was.

Faith is not a condition for salvation. Faith is a gift from God given to His elect when he quickens them to life by His Spirit and teaches them through the gospel that the Lord Jesus met all of the conditions for their salvation – and they rejoice in an ACCOMPLISHED SALVATION….Christ’s FINISHED work.

John Piper says that the CONDITION for justification is faith…that is a lie!

4) John Piper’s heretical view of creation account.

5) Teaching that arminians such as Rick Warren are preaching the true gospel – which is more evidence that Piper does not believe or teach the true gospel.

I hope that the above has answered your questions. The problem is that we live in a day when many false prophets are calling themselves “calvinists” such as John Piper and Mark Driscoll and then teaching from the pulpit the damnable lie of universal atonement.

“Your problem is not with “calvinism” so called but with the God of the bible whom you hate.
The hatred that you express for the biblical truths of Christ’s atonement for His people (Matthew 1:23) and predestination (Romans 9, Ephesian 1) is evidence of a hardened, unregenerate heart.
You call good, evil and light you call darkness.
Isaiah 8:20
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.”

So which is it? Is Piper a calvinist and you think he is a heretic because of it? Or the other way around. I’m just trying to clarify because some of the guys in my church just started a study on his book “Desiring God” and I’m not sure what to think of it so far.

John Piper said:
“So Piper, just be simple a minute, do you believe Jesus died for all people? just give us a straight out answer. And I’m not going to play politics, I’m not going to answer another question. I’m going to do this.
Before I answer it, i’m gunna force you to define for all people, i’m going to say, ‘now just tell me exactly what you mean and i’ll answer you’ because I dont want to answer in a way that would cause you to misunderstand. What do you mean by for all people?
Now I think I know what most, is it okay if I use the word arminians? just, just most people who, who are having a hard time, they’re not all arminians, having a hard time with limited atonement. That is the atonement that effects something special for a limited group.

I think I know what they all mean, and i’m going to quote Miller’s Erikson’s theology because I think he’s right. He says:

“God intended the atonement to make salvation possible for all persons. christ died for all persons but this atoning death becomes effective only when accepted by the individual. This is the view of all arminians.” closed quote.

If that’s the view of all arminians I totally agree with it. No qualifications. So if you say “did christ die for all people” and I say “what do you mean for all people?” and you answer “I mean did he die in such a way so that anybody anywhere who believes will be saved by that blood.”
I say “absolutely he did.” That’s John 3:16 pure and simple. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son in such a way that whoever believes will not perish, I believe that totally without qualification. Every individual person on planet earth who believes in Jesus has their life covered by the blood of Jesus. so you preach that, you stand up on sunday morning and you say christ died in such a way so that anybody in this room who believes, your sins are covered by the blood of Jesus.
(John Piper – Acts 29 conference – The Whole Glory of God – Imputation – Impartation of His righteousness – Part 2)

You can listen to the audio here… http://www.acts29network.org/sermon/the-whole-glory-of-god-imputation–impartation-of-his-righteousness-part-2/ – Go to the 19 minute mark and hear this heresy for yourself!

Here are the following sources…

Christ died for all sinners, so that IF you will repent and believe in Christ, then the death of Jesus will become effective in your case and will take away your sins. Died for you, means if you believe, the death of Jesus will cover your sins. Now, as far as it goes, this is biblical teaching.
