Southern Baptist Evangelist Says Strippers Don't Have To Leave The Business
Heather Veitch, a stripper turned preacher, says that it is not a requirement for strippers to leave their business if they trust Christ for salvation. She says: “We want her to change her heart, and then if she changes her life because of that, then great, BUT IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT” (“Ex Stripper Does New Turn,” Yahoo News, April 30).
Veitch is a copastor of a church in Riverside, California, called JC Girls Girls Girls, which is associated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The JC stands for Jesus Christ, but we believe it is blasphemous to speak of the Lord in such a flippant manner. They claim to have 2,100 members. Sadly, Veitch's philosophy of salvation and her ignorance of biblical repentance is actually no different from that of many independent Baptists who practice “Quick Prayerism.” For example, one church in Maine had an evangelistic campaign in recent years during which they went door to door and told the people, “If I could tell you that you could be saved today and go to heaven when you die and that you won't have to change anything, would you be interested?” This is a lie of the devil. Though the change is of God, there is most definitely a change when one gets saved. “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1 John 2:4). The apostle Paul preached that men “should repent and turn to God, and DO WORKS MEET FOR REPENTANCE” (Acts 26:20). Some confused people say that this type of preaching is some sort of “lordship salvation” or a works salvation, but it is nothing of the sort. Biblical repentance is not me changing my life; it is me changing my mind so that I am ready for God to change my life. It is a change of mind that results in a change of life. It is yielding to God, surrendering to God. It is to turn around so that one is facing in a new direction in life. And without repentance no man can be saved. The apostle Paul preached that God “now commandeth all men every where to repent” (Acts 17:30).
