Brisbane Christian Fellowship at it again needlessly criticising other churches

I’m actually hugely in favour of all of Christendom returning closer to Biblical understandings of God’s promises and requirements. But, in BCF’s latest member-only online devotion (see below) they hugely miss the mark as usual. Yes, it’s true that the church fell from the truth. They established ‘formulae’ for getting to heaven. And baptised infantsContinue reading “Brisbane Christian Fellowship at it again needlessly criticising other churches”

The true nature of Vic Hall

Through multiple recent interactions we have more confirmations of the true nature of Vic Hall, leader of BCF and the XCF cult movement. Some who have left consider him to be sincere but misguided. Who knows. I believe, unfortunately, that he is worse than that. Of course, usually, God will lead us out of misguidednessContinue reading “The true nature of Vic Hall”

Forgiveness

From time to time I do have to ask myself whether I have forgiven the elders and presbyteries at Melbourne Christian Fellowship (MCF) and Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF) for their cultish, abusive practices and misleading, manipulative and non-Biblical teachings. Have I really forgiven them? Why am I writing this blog? Does forgiveness mean not warningContinue reading “Forgiveness”

Brisbane Christian Fellowship: Peddling Unaccountability

One of the worst things that BCF (Brisbane Christian Fellowship) does is teach unaccountability. Sadly, it’s part of their cult theology. And part of their life style. Brisbane Christian Fellowship and MCF teach and exemplify unaccountability in a ridiculously large number of ways: BCF/MCF taught all the time that we should NOT be concerned withContinue reading “Brisbane Christian Fellowship: Peddling Unaccountability”

Brisbane Christian Fellowship: The Big Bluff

Many of us ex-XCFers have noticed how nervous, cagey and guarded our overlords were at, eg, MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) & Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF). Both when they were trampling us and when they were covering it up (or kicking us out). It’s because the whole thing was a big bluff. How much could BrisbaneContinue reading “Brisbane Christian Fellowship: The Big Bluff”

So why do I not blame myself?

I occasionally get asked this. Well, I sort-of grew up in MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship). My Dad got sucked in when I was 10 years old. And, although I didn’t start going regularly until I was 17, I had become a firm believer in its Bible-based reformationist teachings because of Dad and the books heContinue reading “So why do I not blame myself?”

Is MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) changing?

I’m starting to hear (from a few ex-MCFers in contact with current MCFers) that ‘MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) is changing’. Is that true? Is it possible? Of course it would be wonderful if MCF was changing for the better (from their behaviour described in this blog). And of course I’ve got no idea from outsideContinue reading “Is MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) changing?”

Is this slander? Is it necessary?

I’m on an early pre-Christmas break so forgive my irregular postings this week. And soon we’ve got a multi-part testimony coming from Simon Doyle which really shows how unhealthy and un-Christian XCF is. Then . . and now. Well. in my mind, it’s not slander if it’s true. And my comments are just my recollectionContinue reading “Is this slander? Is it necessary?”

When did I know it was wrong?

When did I know the teaching and practice of guru headship was wrong? Interesting question. Because in some ways I knew the practice of it, by David Bonham and co, was wrong right from the start. So does that put the fault on me then? No, because MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) taught just as strongly,Continue reading “When did I know it was wrong?”
