In my humble opinion, they have a false sense of pride
in their church, where people are
expendable. Me and my wife Alice feel that there is a woeful lack of genuine love from their pastors.
In the 45 months that I attended their church, not once did their
pastor Brad Moffett ever initiate a single conversation with me. No one
ever asked for my contact information.
The pastor's father Bobby is mean to
people. I have seen him time and time again insult
people with rude comments, showing disregard for other's feelings. That is not the Spirit of Christ (Ephesians 4:30-32).
I attended a Wednesday evening meeting at
their church in 2023, which he normally teaches each week. He
embarrassed me in front of the whole church, making a mockery of me. They had
been watching the movie series 'The Chosen' (which is a lame series), but
I wanted to come anyway to be with the church, since I kept hearing
about the movie. I brought several boxes of white cheddar popcorn that I
purchased at Walmart for the church members, I had no idea that after 3
months that the movie series had ended the week before. Pastor Bobby told
everyone what an idiot I was, causing everyone to laugh at me. But he
never once said he was just joking, nor did he ever thank me for buying
the popcorn, nor did he ever thank me for coming,
nor say that he welcomed me back. What a jerk! That was the last time I
ever went to one of Bobby's rambling talk meetings again.
People Just Want To Be Loved
I have seen this sore evil in many churches
today, that pastors just don't truly care about people.
The problem is that many pastors are wrong on what it means to repent
to get to Heaven. They are
wrong on the inspired Word of God. I have been kicked out of numerous corrupt Baptist
churches for befriending the pastor with THE TRUTH that all of the modern
Bible revisions are corrupt. They get upset with me! When I spoke with
Pastor Brad Moffett at the Family Baptist Church in April of 2025, he told
me that he doesn't think the King James Bible is perfect nor inspired by
God. He said that he is okay with some of the modern Bible revisions, such
as the Modern English Version (MEV). In fact, the
MEV is
a very corrupt perversion of the Holy Bible!
The church professes to have a loving
environment, but that's not what we experienced. We felt unwanted at the
church by their leadership. or which For the 45 months that I attended the
church, I never once shared cross words with anyone. I was a
complete gentleman. However, I have my own website ministry (since 2002), in
which I express my personal views as a fundamentalist Baptist preacher.
Although I had never mentioned the names of anyone in the church, nor the
name of the church, I did express my disgust and disapproval of some things
that I didn't like in the church after April 30th, 2025. That was the awful
day that Pastor Brad criticized Dr. Jack Hyles and censured my website
ministry in his office. Me and Alice were horrified.
You know how wicked people are, they like
to cause trouble. Someone read my comments and ran to gossip to the pastor,
which compelled them to kick me and my wife out of the church in June of
2025. The pastor never bothered to talk with me. They never shed a tear. I
went home and literally wept bitterly that I had lost my church family. God
sees everything! You see, like communist China and North Korea today, you
are not allowed to speak negatively about a pastor or church (not even when
you leave out their names). We never felt loved in what we consider to be a
spiritually dead church.
Their Pastor Slandered Dr. Jack
Hyles
What did I say that upset them so much?
Without mentioning his name or the church, I called Pastor Brad Moffett an
“idiot” because he slandered my mentor of the Christian faith, Pastor Jack
Hyles (1926-2001). In April of 2025 in his office, Brad falsely accused Dr.
Hyles (in front of me and my wife) of being a carnally-minded man, and said that Pastor Hyles through his perverse teachings caused
hundreds of families to go into sexual immorality, divorce and shame. What a
wicked thing to say about a faithful preacher!
I gratefully spent 8 years at the First
Baptist Church in Hammond, Indiana; and I graduated from Hyles-Anderson
College with a degree in Pastoral Theology in 1993. I never once heard or
saw anything that even remotely caused me to think that Pastor Hyles taught
something improper about sex and marriage. Dr. Hyles was a brilliant Bible
teacher and preacher!!! SHAME on Brad Moffett for
slandering Dr. Jack Hyles. These are not loving men in our humble opinion, they are religious
parasites who masquerade as men of God.
It never ceases to amaze me how people who
claim to “know bad things” about someone, never seem to have any evidence to
support their injurious claims. When Pastor Brad wickedly accused Brother
Hyles of destroying marriages and families with his teachings, I asked him
to please explain, but he refused to do so. Brad proved my point, he has no
credible evidence! Brad was 13 years old when Dr. Hyles went to Heaven, so
what the hell does he know about Dr. Hyles?
When me and Alice (my wife) arrived at
church on June 22, 2025, we were confronted in the parking lot and told by
Bobby Moffett that was were no longer welcomed at Family Baptist Church. I told Bobby that he was wrong to condemn me as a fundamentalist preacher for
telling THE TRUTH that Christian women ought not wear pants in public, and
his wife and daughter in law wear pants in public. He threatened to call the
police on me if we didn't leave, so we calmly left in disgust. Ichabod (the
glory of the Lord is departed) is written over the doors of Family Baptist
Church. These accursed false prophets have blood on their hands for
wresting the Scripture, perverting the Gospel. Pastor Lester Roloff
(1914-1982) was absolutely right: The worst pervert is the Gospel
pervert!
Matthew 15:8, “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” With
their mouths they talk the talk at Family Baptist Church, but they do not
walk the walk with their behavior.
When I met with Pastor Brad on April of
2025 in his office, he said that they make it hard to join their church, but
easy to leave. What a shameful thing to say and an unchristian attitude! It
should never be “hard” for anyone to join a church.
Dr. Hyles was the first to admit that he
wasn't perfect, and he often said that he never claimed to be a good
Christian. There is no such thing as a “good Christian.” We are all
struggling sinners. But when church leaders slander godly soulwinning
preachers, you know that Jesus is not there in that place. Where there is a
lack of God's love for broken people, God's Holy Spirit is absent. Something
is very wrong with Family Baptist Church in our humble opinion. What about Tom and
Sharon? What about me and Alice? What about Perry and his wife? What about
Mary? What about all the
other dozens of people who've left?
There Is No Church Soulwinning
Pastor Brad sinfully refuses to lead the
church to go soulwinning. I heard him foolishly say that it is not the church's
job to go soulwinning, it's the individual church member's job. So, he said
if the church is empty it's the members' fault. Family Baptist Church
reminds me of a truthful poem I once heard...
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and
Nobody
This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody,
Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be
done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but
Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that
because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could
do it, but Nobody realized that
Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed
Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done
That is why on many Sunday's the church
is 90% empty! But you'll always hear Brad attributing the low attendance to
people being sick or on vacation. Right! The truth cannot be hidden.
The corrupt church will continue to
languish in mediocrity without growth, as more disgruntled members continue
to leave that place. It
matters how you treat people, it really does!
The truth in our sincere opinion is that the church's leadership is
carnal. We felt that they couldn't have cared less if we ever came back again. That is why
so many people leave, discouraged. Nobody wants to be in a place where they
are not wanted. Thank you for reading.
I attended the Family Baptist Church at 5454 W. Mobile Highway in
Pensacola from 2021 to 2025. I never should have attended the church,
knowing that they are WRONG on repentance, which means they are wrong on
God's simple plan of salvation. The church's official Statement of Faith
errantly requires that you “Repent of your sins” to be saved, a phrase
that is nowhere found in the inspired King James Bible. If you think you
are saved because you repented of your sins, then you are not saved dear
reader. According to Jonah 3:10, turning from your evil ways is a work.
