When an IFBer emails me I never really hear anything new. This time I learned that I’m Catholic and that I’ve never been to an IFB church. I had no idea about that. I’ve lived my whole life and never knew that I was Catholic or that I’ve never experienced the IFB before. ?? Enjoy […]

Introducing the Abusive Randy Ireland
As I’ve stated clearly, multiple times on the website, it’s not my intention to demonize any one particular church or person. In fact, I’ve stated very clearly that I refuse to name the IFB churches that I was a part of because it’s not my goal to call them out specifically or intentionally hurt anyone. […]
The mighty IFB has spoken… It looks like I’m wasting my time.
As I’ve said before, I get many emails from IFBers who want to verbally attack me for this website. I’ve grown accustom to them so I mostly just ignore them. I got one a few days ago though and thought I’d have a little fun. If you have ideas for other means please post them […]
Biblical Mandate for BaptistDeception.com
Here we go again. Similar to the Robert Fry post, it’s not my main goal to call out particular churches, schools or people. When they are abusive, however, I feel responsible to expose it. Here’s another example of the bullying I receive on a consistent basis from IFBers. Over the years I’ve had many people […]
Catholic Influence on Modern Bible Versions – Concerns from a Former Catholic Turned IFB
Image Source: https://pixabay.com/en/rosary-bible-cross-book-699609/ The following is the transcript of an email exchange from a person writing to express his concerns about an alleged Roman Catholic influence on the modern Bible versions.

You Might Be an Independent Fundamental Baptist if…
My writing tends to be somewhat heavy and serious so every once in a while I like to add some humor to lighten things up a bit. Please don’t mistake this for a lack of respect or an attempt to minimize the seriousness of the abuse that happens among the Independent Fundamental Bapitsts. This is […]
Joe Lusk Deception – ‘Independent’ Deception Revisited
Joe Lusk (AKA JJ Lusk), associate pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church, recently came to the site to comment and attack us for speaking out against the Independent nature of the Independent Fundamental Baptists. Attempts to engage him in discussions failed so the next step is to reply publicly in this format. I don’t really care […]

Do Baptists Make Lousy Christians?
The following is a contribution by: H.A. Parker. You can find out more information at pastorsinknead.wordpress.com ************************************************************************************ A tremendous effort to suppress criticism is ongoing fight in the Christian world, specifically for the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist denomination. The reason why this title goes with the Baptist label is primarily because this is the same group that […]
Richard Hivner Deception
Richard Hivner, a former associate pastor at Candlestick Baptist Church in Spring TX frequented this site to voice his disagreement with it in the comments section. There are many comments he made with an invitation to open discussions about the topics presented here. Unfortunately Richard couldn’t keep himself from perpetuating the abuse that’s spoken of […]
“Broad Stroking” Deception
I recently wrote an article on the number one complaint we receive here at www.BaptistDeception.com which is that IFB churches are “Independent” of and from other IFB churches and therefore are not a denomination or group of churches. You can read more about that here and I would recommend doing so before you proceed with […]
Bearing Fruit Deception
John 15: 1-8 A trademark of the IFB is the idea that “good Christians” bear fruit and “bad Christians” don’t bear fruit. I heard quite a bit growing up that fruit is an indication that you’re a “good Christian”. “You need to be a fruit bearing Christian…” the preacher would boom from behind the lectern. […]
