Dr. Kent Hovind is the founder of Creation Science Evangelism. He needs to be congratulated for his sound teaching refuting the prevalent theory of evolution and for teaching creationism. However, along with his teachings refuting evolution, Kent Hovind dangerously slips in the license for immorality and doctrine of demonscommonly known as once saved always saved. This is what Kent Hovind also teaches as he refuted evolution:
Anyway, the Lord said “Come into the Ark.” And so all the critters went in—two of each kind and seven of some. And then the Lord shut the door. That’s a good eternal security verse by the way. When God shuts the door, it won’t leak. People say, “Brother Hovind, do you believe you’re eternally secure?” Yep. I got born into God’s family and he is stuck with me. Now some of God’s children, he takes them home and crowns them. Other children, he ‘crowns’ them and takes them home. But if you are saved, you are eternally secure, you are going to heaven. (Creation Seminar, Part 6 video, The Hovind Theory)
Did you notice that Kent Hovind, in different words, is suggesting that God will kill an unrepentant sinning person, who was previously born again, and take him home to heaven? That is a horrible distortion of God’s word and his version of the sin unto death. Kent Hovind said:
Now some of God’s children, he takes them home and crowns them. Other children, he ‘crowns’ them and takes them home.
Kent Hovind To A Christian Friend
All of that should be crystal clear that Kent Hovind believes in once saved always saved, even though it is NOT Biblical, but here is another quote from a personal letter from Kent Hovind to a dear Christian ministry friend who sent it to us. Kent Hovind wrote:
I CANNOT lose my salvation and go to hell. I CAN however lose my reward of entrance into the 1,000 yr kingdom! (All capital emphasis his)
Many Scriptures refute Kent Hovind, but here is a clear one:
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest IF we do not give up. (Gal 6:8,9)
That is clearly a SALVATION passage and not a REWARDS passage as the words eternal life prove. The Gal. 6:8,9 salvation passage is never quoted by the prominent teachers of our day for various reasons, even though it is vital for Christians to understand after getting born again.
Furthermore Kent Hovind makes the mistake that he can have salvation but not inherit the kingdom of God! That is clearly refuted in the teaching, Will Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God. Kent Hovind is rightly awarded the infamous Skull and Crossbones Award for his deadly teaching of eternal security. People need to be warned that part of Kent Hovind's creation teaching is a snare to SOULS, as it obliterates the holy image of a Christian and sets one up for a spiritual fall (1 Cor. 10:12).
