Perry Noble and Clemson involvement


Apr 19, 2014, 12:34 PM

I will first start off by saying I have no issue with Dabo doing what he can to introduce Christ to the football team, and I am a Christian and believe in Christ fully. I will say I have never been to Newspsring Church and can only go by what I read and have others tell me. I do not believe anything 100% that I read on the internet and if Newspring is your church, my intent is not to offend you. But even if 1/4 of this article is true, do we really need this being the 1 person who will have influence over our program? This is Dabo's church, he's taking the team there, and I assume he's visiting the campus. I just have an aversion to a mega church and a guy you are not allowed to question or ask about how much of the donating is going to his pocket.

Apr 19, 2014, 1:09 PM

I actually think I have lost a little respect for Dabo...I don't live in the area and had no idea the kind of 'church' he and the players attend. I live in the Charlotte Area and am very familiar with the one run by Furtick (Elevation). I am sure lots of people who attend these 'churches' have a fabulous experience and get what they need spiritually...but all I see are red flags having grown up near PTL (Fort Mill) when it was in its heyday.

IMO, these charismatic pastors are no different than Jim Bakker, etc...it's all about the money. They don't sell God...they sell an experience that makes you feel all warm and bubbly inside...no different than Disney World really. Maybe that seems unfair to some...but it just doesn't feel right to me...even sort of sinister in a way.

Perry Noble is a carnival barker, not a pastor. It distresses me that members of our coaching staff haven't figured that out, yet. But they will. That guy is heading for a fall of Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart proportions. CNBC's "American Greed" will have a field day with this greaseball.

don't like non-denom churches. I personally don't care how much Perry makes, it doesn't matter to me that he didn't graduate from seminary, I don't care that you hate him, etc.

The preacher in the church I grew up in makes more than Perry...traditional southern baptist. That doesn't matter either.

The fact is that every message I've ever heard from him has been as theologically sound as any baptist church I've attended, and more so than the Methodist church I attended for a while...no denomination needed.

how much does perry noble make a year in salary? if you know you know more than the members because it not made public what he makes, which is one of the many complaints. I have no problem with any church or organization that is transparent with its membership and the authority it operates under, in this case the state and federal government. but if you are a church with a non taxable situation you SHOULD be accountable to your members. if you are not then you have problems. whether you are denominational or not is not the issue.

in your post and I just reread it to be sure, you stated that the minister in the church you grew up in makes more than noble. my question is how do you know that if you or no one knows his salary. I do understand you don't care but others that are members of that church do. I don't hate perry noble or anyone but I also don't blindly trust anyone either. if a man is a minister and a man of god imo he should want to be transparent about all things, including his salary and where money that is being GIVEN to him is being spent.

Dabo should care since a lot of good Christian parents


Apr 19, 2014, 2:16 PM

have to some extent trusted their sons spiritual development to him. These parents have raised their sons in a variety of denominations and traditions: Southern Baptist, United Methodist, Presbyterian (USA and PCA), Episcopal, AME, National Baptist, etc... They certainly don't want their sons being led from that tradition into the hands of charlatans.

So, Dabo ought to be asking a few questions:

1. Where did Noble go to seminary?
2. Who ordained him?
3. Who monitors his personal and professional conduct and disciplines him?
4. How much does he make and who decides that?
5. What is his expense account and who monitors it?
6. Who audits his church's finances?
7. Who can fire him?

I wouldn't give one dime to a preacher (much less tithe) if I couldn't answer each of those questions. And if you are a member of an established Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal or Lutheran, etc, church, you CAN answer those questions.

Why does it matter? If you want to give to the church, give. If you don't want to give, don't. People give to Iptay and Dabo makes $3 million/yr. if you like what Dabo is doing, give. If you don't like it, then don't give. It's the same principle, except I would think people getting saved would be a lot more important. All of the questions that you think Dabo should ask have answers. Not sure why it's important to know the answers as long as you see the end result.

Re: Perry Noble and Clemson involvement


Apr 19, 2014, 2:45 PM

I know that most of this discussion is supported by Atheist so I will attempt to be careful in the words that I choose. My intention is not to offend anyone. However, I would like to point out that 99.99999% of all Modern Day Churches are a complete heretical practice. They preach Grace, Mercy, Freedom from Religious Law, and then speak out of the other side of their mouths by enforcing the Old Testament Laws and Mosaic Law. Tithing is LAW... In the New Testament the Apostle Paul erected the first 7 Churches. He did not highlight his focus to be on law. Only the spreading of the Gospels of Yeshua Bin Yousef or Jesus as some may refer to him. His name in English is actually Joshua. Weird, but that isn't important. What is important is what came next. At the time of the creation of the first 7 churches, the Apostle Paul had collected about 58 different Gospels on the man we know as Yeshua Bin Yousef. who was a 1st Century Rabbi out of Nazareth. What would happen in 325 A.D would grossly violate the integrity and the instructions that the Apostle Paul left behind for the Church. After Paul's crucifixion by the Romans there was in insurrection lead by the Christian insurgency in the Roman Empire for well over a Century. Emperor Constantine felt threatened by this insurgency and feared that it would collapse his Empire through division. So he summoned 318 Christian Leaders and formed the 1st Council of Nicaea. The Emperor had a direct influence on what Gospels would be allowed in the Christian Bible. Out of 58 Gospels, only 4 were allowed by the Emperor. The bad news is that Constantine wasn't even a Christian. He believed in Pagan gods and practiced the ceremonial orgies of Ishtar. What we Christians refer today as Easter. Then came the King James translations. King James was not a Christian either. In fact he was a tyrant to his own people and a conqueror of other Kingdoms. He was intrigued by the Bible and how much attention it had gained by his own people. He envisioned a way for himself to use it as a way to control his kingdoms. He accented several text to place emphasis on certain passages in the Gospels to twist the meanings. This is the beginning of what you see now and what we call church today. Jesus did not create nor support a religion and neither did Paul. Paul in the Book of Corinthians did not teach nor collect a tithe. He encouraged willful giving to the poor and needy. I could go on and on about the heresy that Christians call church today, but just to correct Pastor Nobel on his bogus sermon I thought I would share this. For this very reason, I have not attended church at all in the past 9 years. Instead, I have began to educate myself on matters pertaining to Religion, Science, and History. I have come to several conclusions about many things, but one thing is for certain, GOD DOESN'T COMMAND A TITHE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.

Re: Perry Noble and Clemson involvement


Apr 19, 2014, 3:25 PM

Other than being almost 100% wrong about the First Council of Nicea, you're pretty much factual. I don't think that 99.99999% of all modern day churches are a complete heretical practice-that's rather harsh and unfounded. Constantine didn't even have a single vote in that conference. He was basically responsible for calling the meeting, and expenditures concerning the travel and meals and lodging for the 1800 invited bishops, of which 300-500 actually showed up. They were each allowed two priests, and three deacons, so there possibly could have been over 2,000 people actually attending. This was a political opportunity for the emperor, not for votes but for public relations throughout the empire. The New Testament Canon of scriptures was pretty much settled by the time of this meeting, and Constantine himself had no say about what was included in the Christian Bible. I'd really be careful about watching that bogus show on the History Channel if I were you. I think it's called "Secrets of the Bible", and it is not history, more like fantasy, along the lines of Dan Brown.

I appreciated what Chesty had to say but also agree with you about the New Testament Canon. I have read that it was rather settled before the council even met. My memory says there may have been only one or two books that could have or almost were included that weren't.

Two years ago, our teenage granddaughter joined NewSpring at the Florence campus. I listened to a couple of Noble's sermons on the internet and could not believe the awful language coming from his mouth. I wrote him a letter expressing my regret, which he ignored. Fortunately, our granddaughter has seen the light and left his campus. All I know is that Paul stressed this in Ephesians 5:4 - "and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks." Noble could be a good witness for God if he would clean up his mind and speech!

Jesus faced a mob that was eager to execute a woman caught in adultery. He put a stop to it with a simple challenge: anyone who has no sin in their life should step forward and throw the first stone. That sentence is often cited as a reminder to avoid judging others when there are faults in your own life that need to be addressed.

I find it amazing how successful a Godless, anti-Christian group from Wisconsin can be in inciting infighting within the Christian community.

It blows my mind that many people on this board will criticize and run down Newspring and Perry Noble but will also admit that they have never attended a service or heard him preach except for sermon excerpts that are taken out of context. I half way understand it from non-Christians but you Christians should keep your mouth shut. There are wonderful things happening at Newspring Church. At least go to one service and see for yourself before you trash it.

Since the Church has existed, the biggest enemy and largest obstacle to winning souls has been Christians.
I once believed all the same garbage spewed about NewSpring without going for myself. I have been a Christian for 31 years and I had to repent of that once I saw for myself. I am telling you, don't trash people who are worshiping the same God you claim to and are growing his kingdom like nothing I've ever witnessed in person.
Perry will be held to a higher standard in God's eyes and he knows that. I have been going there for 9 years now and I have seen him evolve over that time. The man LOVES Jesus and wants to see others do the same, but at the same time, he is a sinner like all of us. He has shown extreme humility and transparency. He isn't perfect and he will tell you that. I have 3 children that were saved there. I have grown spiritually more there than I had in my previous 22 years.
I think some of these people sound EXACTLY like the Pharisees did, and I would examine my motives if that were me. That has been the biggest thorn in the church's side for hundreds of years.
The questions being asked don't have any possible answer that would satisfy your presuppositions. I think every church has a place and none of them are for everyone. If you don't like it, don't go. If you haven't been, why are you talking? Back it up. Go to a service and then come back with your opinion. If you keep speaking out of ignorance, you look foolish. Remember, I have been on both sides of this argument. I never bashed them in a public forum, but I believed the lies. If you say you are a Christian, we are on the same team. Why sabotage the great commission?

A lot of coots in this thread downgrading a Godly church but that is understandable as most coots are godless. It is interesting that the current dirt ###### QB is a NewSpring member even though Perry is a huge Clemson fan. I wouldn't be surprise if more people are saved per year in SC at the New Spring branches then the rest of stone chucking churches in the state combined.

Look, if you and others get something out of those weekly 'services' then I'm glad, I really am. However, whether its Newspring, Elevation, Jim Jones, or Jim and Tammy Bakker, they are all the same in my book. It may not be soon or even in the next 5 years, but eventually the house will crumble and they will be exposed for the charlatans they are. I pray that those who have succumbed to their spell aren't completely disillusioned and can find another spiritual home...one where the finances and pastor salary are transparent and without ATMs in the lobby (yes, some do have them).

I'm not bashing ol' Perry, mind you, but if he indeed is so humble and transparent, he probably could give a budgeted account of all of the millions of dollars that New Spring takes in every year. Naturally his transparency will extend to his salary and personal holdings that come from the faithful, right?

I'm sorry, but I need to go to a church where every penny is accounted for, and the pastor's salary is public knowledge. If neither of these is done at New Spring (and they very well may be doing that) or any church, then I'm steering very clear of that one! From my experience, the churches have to have financial transparency, and a board of elected membership to run the church business.

As an owner I feel certain you are welcome to look at the financials of the church. Go ahead and get Pastor Perry to open the books so we can all stop talking about this issue. You are an owner so that shouldn't be to difficult.

While I'm not a Christian, I haven't had a problem with Dabo wearing his religion on his sleeve, and think that in a way it's helped to create a strong community culture within our program...but seeing these things about Noble come to light makes me wary about him having any sort of official affiliation with our team.
