I grew up at this church. I spent 25 years at this church. I want to warn people about this church. The Bible is not the final authority of this church. They have women teaching and leading which is very unbiblical. The Bible is taught in a very watered down and diluted way. There are many aspects of the Bible they do not teach on or ever mention. If you are looking for a church that teaches and tries to follow all the word of God this is not the church for you. I encourage people to stay far away from this place. Put your faith in Jesus Christ alone! Not Jesus plus repenting of your sins, not Jesus plus your good works, not Jesus plus your changed life. “For I delivered unto first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures: and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL things are become new.”
Must a person have a change of life to prove salvation? How much change is needed to know if you are really saved? Many people point to this verse in 2 Corinthians to teach you must have a changed life or you are not saved. Notice the verse says ALL things. Do you still lose your temper? Do you still have bad thoughts? Do you still lie?Do you still put yourself first before others? If your assurance of salvation is in that your life has changed then you are trusting in something that can not save. You may not have realized this but when you look to your works or changed life to determine if you are saved you are trusting in your works. We sin everyday in thought, word and deed. The Bible says even the thought of foolishness is sin. The truth is unsaved people change their lives all the time. They give up smoking, drinking, stop overeating. Does that make them saved? No. What happens if your life doesn’t change once you get saved? What happens if your life changes for the worse? This verse in 2 Corinthians is about your new birth the moment you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you receive God’s spirit which is perfect and does not sin. 1 John 3:9KJV. Your spirit is made new. That’s your new man. But you still have your flesh till the day you die which dwells no good thing. The Bible also refers to the flesh as the old man. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 KJV speaks of those who will receive rewards in heaven for their good works. Then it tells of others that will not receive rewards because they did not do good works but they are still saved and in heaven. Don’t look to a changed life for assurance of salvation. Let’s be honest if you look at your life and works for assurance of salvation anyone who spends enough time with you will find something in your life that makes them doubt your salvation. Trusting in your works and changed life is simply believing on yourself. You only receive salvation when you believe ON the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:36 KJV “He that believeth ON the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
NOT of works, lest any man...
Read moreThis church is all business I went there for help I just started working and I wasn’t gonna get paid till three weeks and by that time it would on been too late I had a shut off notice for my light bill. I called them a week before That But they didn’t get back to me after the fact. so I had to take money from my rent to put it towards the light bill so that I won’t stay without light. So now I was short of rent money So when they finally called me they made an appointment they asked me for paperwork like the lease but I explained to them that I live From month to month for the Past 24 years I’ve been there for 28 years So they asked me if there’s any way that I can Provide a letter or something from my landlord to proof my residency in which I didn’t have a problem with So I called my landlord and asked him to email me a letter proving that I live at the current address On a month to month basis,, so I emailed that letter to the church And they Even called my landlord and they spoke to him so that he can verify that I do live there And that I do live from month-to-month I was being truthful from the beginning, no lies and I told them that it’s been over 24yrs since I had a lease I mean, I get public assistance for Medicaid and they don’t even give me a hard time not having a lease And I never had a problem before so after I did all that after a week of waiting they said they couldn’t help me because I didn’t have a Lease I mean month to month does exist and all I was asking was for $186, the money that’s giving to the church is to help people in need of help is not to pick and choose. I can say there was one man that interview me I forgot his name god bless him he ran to my car After I left-and handed me giant gift cards for $100 to buy food and he was the one that told me that they should be able to help me, but I guess it was somebody else’s decision, what I’m saying is what faith and what heartless does this church have knowing that I had no way of getting money for my rent and I showed them all of the proof they needed it’s not the first time they do this this happened 5 yrs back the second time they did this to me But it wasn’t the same issue about the lease. They were OK with the month-to-month basis they didn’t give me a hard time about that the first time they just refused to help with the amount I’m so confused and shock that a church will turn someone away like that I’m just hoping that this has nothing to do with racism But I’m not gonna loose my faith over this because God...
Read moreCalvary church Souderton is a true 5 star experience, I have been attending this church for a few years now and I absolutely don’t have a single bad thing to say about the entire experience. What originally brought my family to this Church was a referral to Dr. Charles Zimmerman, renowned as a blessed and talented speaker, a wealth of knowledge but makes his biblical knowledge engaging and simple. The church is massive and seemed intimidating at first, but our first visit, there were tons of greeter, a dedicated welcome center to get to engaged in the church and programs. They offer a superb child program with a wealth of children resources. It was very friendly and appealing and made my son love the church from the beginning. They have dedicated wings of this place with children underwater sea themes and castles upstairs, and even a teen ministry below the cafe. tons of weekly bible based activities during church. After church we found ourselves mingling with other at the cafe mrs B cafe, attached to the church open to the public, with a three story mega kids playground inside, while the adults grabbed a coffee and lunch. The actual church experience is fantastic, they are very musically talented at Calvary with a slightly modern feel. I love the events that they host here, they truly have something for everyone. One of my favorites is the Men’s breakfast bowl that happens every year near the super bowl where they bring in an athlete that speak of his Christian walk and journey. I’ve been luck enough to see Brian Dawkins, Jim Kelly, and shortly after Eagles super bowl mvp qb Nick Foles. If you are looking for a compelling new direction in your faith or looking for even a new place to worship, you should definitely give souderton’s Calvary church a hard look. I forgot to mention they have a phone app that allows you to interact and listen to dr....
