A plea to MCF congregants

We heard there’s new revelations coming from Vic Hall & BCF (Brisbane Christian Fellowship). About communion, that it should be done as a genuine meal or supper with discussion of the word. All to do with Christ being the bread of life, so maybe no need to have literal bread. These claims seem over theContinue reading “A plea to MCF congregants”

A culture of destructive presumption at MCF & BCF

Presumption is a well known sin in Christendom. But at MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) they have made an art of it. Presumption is, put simply, assuming that God is 100% behind the way you are following God. It’s claiming to hear from God and being 100% sure of it. It’s assuming your way is theContinue reading “A culture of destructive presumption at MCF & BCF”

Checklist for a BCF/MCF clean-up

If BCF (Brisbane Christian Fellowship)/MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) wanted to clean up their, frankly, cult-like act, and for all intents and purposes . . re-join Christendom, what could they do? New revelations I would humbly suggest BCF/MCF should not expect God to continuously ‘pour out’ new revelations on an annual basis beyond the gospel thatContinue reading “Checklist for a BCF/MCF clean-up”

Vic Hall and BCF are preaching salvation thru obedience to elders

I just listened to one of Vic Hall’s recent live streaming communion messages (Oct 4, 2020). He rambled thru a commentary of the epistles of Timothy & Titus and simply said it all meant that our salvation is dependent on how much we let ‘watchman’ elders, who are part of a presbytery, speak into ourContinue reading “Vic Hall and BCF are preaching salvation thru obedience to elders”

The cult of ‘Guru Headship’ was dangerous nonsense

The way of ‘guru headship’, as taught at Melbourne Christian Fellowship, and its Brisbane counterpart, apart from being non-Biblical, was horrifically presumptuous and lazy. And dangerous. And, Biblically, complete nonsense. But here I’ll focus on how, in the end, it was a con-job. It put elders between man and Christ as an actual required-for-salvation doctrinalContinue reading “The cult of ‘Guru Headship’ was dangerous nonsense”

We lived a life of non-stop judgment

Scripture tells us not to judge each other (Matt 7:1, Rom 14:3, I Cor 4:3). But at MCF we lived a life of being judged about everything. There was no grey. There was no letting us find out ourselves through prayer and circumstance. We were told. Scripture tells us not to concern ourselves – orContinue reading “We lived a life of non-stop judgment”

MCF is a church of utter waste of human life

After 35 years at MCF, after so much promise of good, the place we gave ourselves to turned out to be a church of waste. A waste of humanity. We literally watched our lives wasting away. I remember at age 35 looking out from the decking thinking, if they are doing this to me inContinue reading “MCF is a church of utter waste of human life”
