Myrtle Beach Church Wars: Solid Rock Protestors Form New Church
A divinely inspired dream? Or opportunistic religious capitalism?

And now another cult of personality is setting itself up…
In reference to Church14: starting the “church” based on the death of Mrs. Miller and this while situation, instead of the death AND resurrection of Jesus will not produce good fruit. Prayers for all involved., you’re gonna need them.
Since the only things “divine” are human love and South Carolina peaches, there’s nothing here but financial greed, misogyny, and lust for power.
It seems fitsnews doesn’t do it’s research very well, as Church14 has been in existence “for quite some time”, and used to have a physical location in Myrtle Beach, way to go for lying and making it seem like it’s starting because of abuse in churches that this couple is firmly against, and have been vocal about being against, “again for years”. Yet another news media site that doesn’t share the truth with it’s readers, way to go.
Church 14 claims to be “launching” on 3 August. As far as Will and company have reported this story it’s reasonably accurate, especially considering the subject.
Rob “the author” has 5 books with a total of about 30 reviews ranging from sycophantic to “drivel”. He claim 20 years of “Biblical Scholarship” with no degrees to back it up, save Youth With a Missions’ 3 month classroom and 2 month “field work” program. YWAM’s doctrinal confusion and the associated hanky panky by staff would do JP’s dad proud.
Folks, if you’re looking for a church to attend in the aftermath of JP Miller’s “leadership” take a little advice: go down to the local First Baptist or First Pres or First Methodist for the next 6-9 months and listen to a preacher who actually has a degree from a seminary, who has actually read the Bible and doesn’t pretend to have secret “orthodox” truth that only he (or she) has worked out. No, you don’t need to stay there but you need to re-establish a base line for what is actually Orthodox and genuine and true and what is made up bovine excreta, a la Perry Noble or JP Miller. Here’s a novel concept, do a little study of your own, read the Bible yourself, it’s not written in secret code (it was actually written in Hebrew, Koine Greek and Aramaic – we have excellent translations tools for all three.) Eschew these cult of personality types whose background seems almost to good to be true, who claim to have studied for years but who have no degrees to back it up (or they have degrees from known diploma mills)
I totally agree with you. I would like to add one more church to your list — Calvary Chapel. They ARE sound in their doctrine.
