Why Are Christians So Mad about Joey Faust’s New Book?

J. D. Faust, has never shied away from controversy but this time he has really done it.

In an explosive and controversial book that has drawn both high praise and blistering criticism, pastor and author, J. D. Faust, has caused a theological earthquake with his startling declaration that unfaithful Christians will be disciplined on Judgment Day.

Faust’s book, which has caused a raging debate in Evangelical circles, is called, The Rod: Will God Spare It? An Exhaustive Study of Temporary Punishment for Unfaithful Christians at the Judgment Seat and During the Millennial Kingdom.

Faust, Pastor of Kingdom Baptist Church in Venus, Texas, contradicts modern evangelical teaching and sounds the alarm that the Judgment Seat of Christ is not just about rewards. The Judgment Seat of Christ will also include judgment for slothful Christians. Failure to live faithfully for Christ now can lead to discipline and exclusion from the promised kingdom blessings.

With the heart of a pastor and the urgency of a biblical prophet, Faust’s message is clear: Believer take heed! The warning passages are not just for unbelievers! Take action now so the Day of Judgment will be a day of reward and not discipline!
