TWO OF JOHN MACARTHUR /MASTER’S SEMINARIES MOST WELL KNOWN DISCIPLES ARE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF PROMOTING MULTIPLE FALSE TEACHING OF THE GOSPEL COALITION AND “RETHINKING ETERNAL HELL” & LGBTQ IDENTITY AND INCLUSION.
Rev Thomas Littleton
3/30/2025
Virtually no other graduates of The Master’s College ( now Master’s University) and Master’s Seminary have gained more populatiry, indulged in more fringe trends, and produced more false teachings than Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle. BOTH have spread their errors UNCHECKED and UNREBUKED by their mentor John MacArthur and continue to wear the MASTER’S BRAND and perhaps even Master’s ordination.

THE TWO LOOKED LIKE TWINS WHEN SPRINKLE WENT TO WORK FOR CHAN OPENING AN IDAHO EXTENSTION OF CHANS “ETERNITY BIBLE COLLEGE”
Francis Chan
Founder
“My heart is to see Eternity train young people for their mission. Too many people waste precious years chasing after the temporary and unfulfilling. Proper training can save us from years of ineffectiveness.”

WHICH IS WHICH ?

RETHINKING AND ERASING HELL-AN AGE OLD ERROR-SUPPOSEDLY IN ANSWER TO ROB BELLS BOOK “LOVE WINS ” …”WHERE EVERYBODY IS SAVED IN THE END”. THIS VENTURE INTO THE ISSUE OF ETERNAL HELL AND EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT LEFT CHANS VIEW MUDDLED AND SPRINKLE EMBRACING ” ANNIHILATIONISM” (also known as extinctionism or destructionism) WHERE ALL FALLEN HUMANS AND ANGLES WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED AND THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS EXTINGUISHED.
“The following videos are an interview with Preston about the book. Preston describes the process of writing the book with Francis Chan and explains what the Bible actually says about hell, who the Bible’s warnings about hell are directed toward, and how we should approach this difficult issue.”
Erasing Hell is scheduled for release on July 5 (2011) from David C. Cook publishing.”
FROM SPRINKLE’S “THEOLOGY IN THE RAW”-HE EMBRACES “SOUL ANNIHILATION.
“In the previous episode, I talked about the 3 different views of hell that have been taught throughout church history. In this episode, I briefly discuss why I used to hold to the eternal conscious torment view of hell but have come to believe that the annihilation view of hell is the most biblical. You don’t need to agree with me! But, if you claim to be a Christian, you do need to make sure your view of hell is based on Scripture and not just your church’s doctrinal statement or your tradition.”

“Our own Dr. Preston Sprinkle authored the forthcoming book Erasing Hell: What God Said About Eternity and the Things We’ve Made Up along with Francis Chan.”
BOTH SPRINKLE AND CHAN AS MASTER’S GRADUATES WERE LIKELY EXPOSED TO JOHN STOTT ,WHO TAUGHT SOUL ANNIHILATION, THROUGH JOHN MACARTHURS ADMIRATION OF STOTT AND THE SCHOOLS USE OF HIS BOOKS.

CHANS “CRAZY LOVE ” BRAND
Francis Chan ALSO has a muddled view on homosexuality and urges Christians to “not treat homosexuality like the worst sin” after moving his family to San Francisco ,on some level, to focus on ministry to the gay community.. See Churchleaders.com interview’
Francis Chan: Stop Treating Homosexuality Like the Worst Sin
February 8, 2020
“Francis Chan is the well-known author of the best-seller, Crazy Love. A few years ago, me moved his family to San Francisco, California to start a new ministry.
He was recently asked how he minsters to people living in the homosexual lifestyle.
In his response, he admitted his perspective has been growing, “My compassion, my life, my thought-pattern, my love has changed and grown since I’ve moved to San Francisco.”
Chan expressed concern that we often treat homosexuality as worse than every other sin.”
SPRINKLE ADVOCATES ACCEPTANCE OF THESE GAY/LGBTQ CHRISTIAN IDENTITES AS BOTH BIBLICAL AND EVANGELISTIC.
WHERE IS THIS MOVEMENT AND IDEOLOGY BEHIND IT COMING FROM? SPRINKLE TELLS US IN HIS PODCAST INTERVIEW OF MARK YARHOUSE.

“Why I Support the Revoice Conference”
June 26, 2018
By Preston Sprinkle
There’s been a lot of talk over the last few weeks about the upcoming Revoice conference. Revoice is a conference and community for LGBT+/SSA Christians—Christians who experience same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria—who are committed to a historically Christian sexual ethic. Every person presenting at Revoice believes that marriage is between a man and a woman, that all sexual relationships belong within marriage, and that same-sex sexual relations are sin. Many people at Revoice, therefore, are submitting their sexuality to the Lordship of King Jesus as they pursue a life of celibacy in allegiance to Christ. They also believe that LGBT+/SSA Christians often have a hard time finding community and care in the church, so Revoice wants to provide a gospel-centered community for those walking this narrow road of faithfulness. As many of my gay friends tell me: “Non-religious gay people don’t know what to do with me, because I’m pursuing celibacy; my Christian friends also don’t know what to make of me, since I’m still attracted to the same sex.” Yet they still press on toward the upward call, living with the sting of a thorn in their flesh, throwing themselves on the hope that suffering will one day be crowned with glory.
However, several have raised concerns over Revoice, most of whom come from conservative Christian circles. One critic writes: “the conference’s underlying theory…strikes me as a Really Bad Idea (and a patently unbiblical opinion).” Another critic even more forcefully says: “the biblical Christian” can clearly see that “this event is biblically unfaithful and fundamentally unsound.” (Other critiques from conservatives can be found HERE, HERE, and HERE.)

“HOW IT ALL BEGAN” BY SPRINKLE’S WIFE & THEIR ORGANIZATIONS ORIGINS & VISION–
Where it all Began
By Chris Sprinkle
Hey Friends,
“I still remember landing in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 2003 for Preston to start his PhD. In one hand I held a 3×5 index card covered with notes from my conservative Biblical Theology class, and in the other arm I held our sweet 7-month-old baby girl. We were so excited for this new adventure. Within weeks, we had formed amazing friends at the University of Aberdeen. We spent evenings and weekends playing games, drinking Scottish ales, and laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt. We came from different backgrounds, but we were all there for the same purpose.”
“My life changed forever on a Wednesday morning as I chatted with one of my new friends over tea and shortbread cookies. I said in passing a statement that I had always assumed was true: “Well, you know, since women can’t be pastors….”
“Confused, my friend replied, “Of course women can be pastors—I plan on being one.”
“Now it was my turn to be confused. I had never met a person like this. I’d been taught that people like her were heretics and were dangerous to the kingdom of God. But she was my friend, and I’d spent enough time with her by now to know that she loved God in an incredibly mighty way.”
“The year that followed was a challenging year for me. I began combing through my Bible, revisiting many of my beliefs as I spent time with friends who believed differently. I already had a Bible school degree, and yet I felt like I was learning my Bible in a new way. I didn’t get a PhD in Scotland, but I did learn something very important and dear to me. God cares about unity. God loves his people, even people who don’t believe the same as me. And no matter how much I already know—or how much I think I know—I am still on a journey to better understand the Bible.”
“Theology in the Raw began because of moments like this one. Preston and I didn’t know it then, but we see it now. God planted a seed in our hearts that said “Love people!” Not “Love people with the same views as you.” Just “Love people!” This is the space Preston and I feel called to. We love finding beauty in God’s people through our diversity. We love being around people who know they are on a journey, who are lifelong learners, and who aren’t afraid to say, “This is where I’m at now, but I pray every day for God to open my eyes to what He wants me to see and know.”
“In light of all this, we couldn’t be more excited about our first-ever Theology in the Raw conference, “Exiles in Babylon,” in Boise on March 31st through April 2nd. We have an amazing lineup of speakers, including Jackie Hill Perry, Derwin Gray, Jon Tyson, Greg Coles, David Platt, Evan Wickham, Ed Uszynski, Thabiti Anyabwile, and so many others. Our topics will include race, politics, gender, sexuality, society, and unity of hell. The audience will have chances to ask questions, hear speakers interact with each other’s ideas, and consider multiple points of view. We will worship in multiple languages, as well as hearing rap and spoken word performed by some amazing artists.”
“The “Exiles in Babylon” conference is filling up fast, so if you plan on attending in person, we recommend registering soon. Food during the conferences will be provided by a variety of local food and coffee trucks. My good friend Jay Newman, the best barbecuer I know, is driving his smoker out from Nashville to bring us some amazing Southern Barbecue. (You can listen to his interview with Preston on Theology in the Raw here.) There will also be an “after party” Friday night with very limited space. Make sure to register extra early if you want to join us for this special time!”
SPRINKLES HISTORY WITH ETS/ SBTS/ MAINSTREAM.
*** IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE COORDINED TRAINING OF ACTIVISTS***
The Evangelical Theological Society MEETS ANNUALLY offering students and faculty members to present recent academic work and papers among their peers. BOTH Sprnkle & Revoice leader Nate Collins of SBTS were part of Sprinkle’s presentation at ETS. Sprinkle hosted activist voices as well as an assortment of TGC /SBTS/ “Council for Biblical manfood and womanhood .
NOTE: TGC and other leaders acted as if they did not know what Revoice was about yet had been working with and coordinating with Nate Collins, Sprinkle and a host of Revoice LGBTQ and SOGI inclusion activists. See Sprinkles offers of appreciation below-
” Thanks are also due to Denny Burk, Wesley Hill (again), and Owen Strachan for your stimulating interaction in our seminar on sexual orientation at the Evangelical Theological Society’s Annual Meeting in San Diego (November 2014).”
Sprinkle thanks list:
“Since this book is the fruit of communal discussion, I have many people to thank. Several people read through all, or portions of, this book: Joey Dodson, Roy Ciampa, Sam Roberto, Mark Yarhouse, Jeff Cook, and I am especially thankful for the many gay and lesbian readers who have offered incisive feedback, especially on my language, tone, and ignorant assumptions: Matt Jones, Nathan Collins, Julie Rodgers, Bill Henson, Brian Gee, Wesley Hill, Bill Henson, and Nick Roen. Several others, who didn’t read the manuscript but whose stories had a significant impact on my thinking, include Lesli Hudson-Reynolds, Justin Lee, Eve Tushnet, and many others whose testimonies have forever shaped my life. I don’t know if I would have been able to finish this book were it not for the constant encouragement of my pastor and friend Bren Angelos and my friend Brad Heinrichs, who let me use his mountain cabin to finish writing this book. Most of all, thanks to my wife, Christine, and my four kids who have seen this book take a toll on my life.”
“Many thanks also to the ninety students in my class: “Homosexuality, the Bible, and the Church” (Spring 2014), as you listened to me test-drive an earlier version of this book. Also, there were many people who interacted deeply with my ongoing series of blogs on the topic. There are too many names to remember, but Julie Perez, Joe Tobias, and David “Ford” Sinclair stand out. None of you would let me get away with any unthoughtful remark—and I am a better person for it. I am sorry for some of the offensive things I have said, and I am very grateful for your critical feedback. I’ve given several talks on homosexuality to diverse audiences, and, by God’s grace, I’m still alive. In particular, the AudioFeed Music Festival in Champaign, Illinois (July 2014), the Young Adults Conference at First Baptist Church in Arkadelphia, Arkansas (March 2014), and the Clydehurst Family Camp somewhere in the boonies of Montana (August 2014) proved to be incredibly helpful in shaping my thinking. Thanks are also due to Denny Burk, Wesley Hill (again), and Owen Strachan for your stimulating interaction in our seminar on sexual orientation at the Evangelical Theological Society’s Annual Meeting in San Diego (November 2014).”
ACSI CAUGHT USING SPRINKLE AND OTHER TGC SSA/ LGBTQ INCLUSION ACTIVIST RESOURCES
Association of Christian Schools International was caught using the following resources in one of their very conservative Christian schools in Gernmany.
Page 14 session 6
“Boarding Track Session Six Youth Culture Trends Goals for this session: • To make participants aware of youth culture trends impacting their students • To provide resources for engaging youth culture trends • To raise awareness about shaping technology usage Video Length: 15:13 minutes When you are ready, go to the Boarding Track course webpage and watch Session 6. Keep this guide nearby, have a way to take notes or write down questions that arise in your mind, and then press play.”
“Reflect 1. Why is it important in your role in the dorm to become a student of youth culture?
2. Why is it important that boarding staff become comfortable and well-versed in scripturally rooted conversations around sexuality? “
a. The Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender books, especially A People to be Loved.
b. Theology in the Raw with Preston Sprinkle
c. PostureShift and the book, Guiding Families of LGBT+ Loved Ones
d. Sam Allberry’s books
e. Greg Coles’ book
3. “Sign up for the free Cultural Translator by AXIS.org With your team, pick one trend from CT and discuss questions like: a. How can we expect this trend to influence our students? b. What are positive ways to address this trend among students? c. What can we do to address the negative aspects of these trends? “
4.” After watching The Tech-Wise Family trailer (shown in the presentation) discuss:
a. What can we do to shape technology culture in the dorm?
b. How can our response to technology lead to spiritual formation?
c. How can you positively engage the technology conversation in order to draw students into the discussion instead of alienating them?
d. Consider getting the The Tech-Wise Family book. Discuss in groups of three the following Boarding Scenario: “
1.” You notice your students have been spending a lot of time indoors on the weekends, especially spending time on their devices. The weather has been poor, and the students are tired. How would you respond? Would you encourage students to get outside? What trends can you use to engage students? How can you shape culture here? “
2. “During study hours, you are finding students who are on their devices and either playing video games or watching movies they have downloaded. They need their devices to complete their homework, but they are not using their devices for the intended purpose of studying. How can you shape their technology usage? How can you use this as a discipleship opportunity? What parameters can you set for the use of their devices that is enforceable? “
“Takeaway Questions for Your Supervisor: • What trends are you seeing among our students? • What is our institutional approach to technology? Takeaway Questions for You: • How will you stay aware of the youth culture trends? • How can you develop a discipleship approach to technology? • How can you keep the conversation about technology positive while helping students set appropriate boundaries and disciplines? “
NOTE AFTER BRANNON HOWSE AND THIS RESEARCHER EXPOSED ACSI’s USE OF THESE MATERIALS THEY WERE QUICKLY TAKEN DOWN FROM THE WEBSITE.
ACTIVIST EVER PUSHING BOUNDARIES -SPRINKLE COAUTHORED CHRISTIANITY TODAY ARTICLE ON “CHRISTIAN POLYAMORY”
“Polyamory: Pastors’ Next Sexual Frontier”
“These once-taboo relationships are showing up in churches across the US.”
Preston Sprinkle and Branson Parler

“A pastor recently told me (Preston) about Tyler and Amanda (names changed), high-school sweethearts raised in Christian homes, living in the Bible belt. After getting married, they seemed to be living the American dream with a house, good jobs, and two kids. Then Jon, a friend of Tyler’s, began living with their family. Amanda developed a close relationship with him, but their flirtation soon developed into something more, and Jon and Amanda proposed to Tyler that they begin exploring polyamory, with Amanda adding Jon as a significant other. They also encouraged Tyler to develop a relationship with another woman he’d met at the gym. He agreed.”
SPRINKLES POLITICAL MESSAGES ECHO “THIRD WAY” AND PROGRESSIVE POLITICS:
“Excited for this one from Preston Sprinkle. Releasing in March!”
“Total allegiance to a political party is toxic. It dilutes the church’s witness, damages our relationships, and weakens our faith. Discover a more biblical, powerful way to live in a secular world. Discover what it means to live in exile.”
Exiles – Preston Sprinkle | Christian Political Issues
CONCLUSION
There has been no effort to explain or even excuse the manifold errors and fringe activities of Francis Chan and and Preston Sprinkle by the John MacArthur, HIS entiites or Masters College/University and Seminary. They have never been called to account or had any rebuke from their “MASTER” John MacArthur. Error continues to spread in churches and ministries under the influence of MacArthur disciples and Master’s graduates like Chan and Sprinkle. God were certainly be holding all of them (and us) accountable if we further these errors or do not expose them.
