Groundless Gospel advocate and now "former pastor" Tom Stegall has gone back to his home church to become the new Publications Director. After being exposed as a false teacher, Stegall has gone back to the safety and security of "the mother church" - the name given to Duluth Bible Church (D.B.C.) by those in the inner circles of the organization. The new D.B.C. position will now be the platform Stegall uses to further spread his new interpretation of the gospel. Notice the following announcement posted on the D.B.C. website:

"Publications Ministry New Publications Director! DBC welcomes Tom Stegall, GIBS [Grace Institute of Biblical Studies] graduate and former pastor of Word of Grace Bible Church in Milwaukee, WI, as the new Publications Director effective January 1, 2012. Look for new publications in 2012"1

Wait a minute -"DBC welcomes Tom Stegall, GIBS graduate and former pastor of Word of Grace Bible Church"?

Is this the same Tom Stegall who in 2007 wrote: "The years ahead will require us to define what is the sine qua non of the Gospel"?2
Is this the same Tom Stegall who in 2007 also wrote a "Proposed Change" to his church's Doctrinal Statement on the "SOLE CONDITION FOR SALVATION" and removed the truth of Christ's burial from the gospel?3
Is this the same Tom Stegall who in 2009 used "the amazing triangular testimony" and "virtual mirror reflections" of a pagan symbol to redefine the gospel to exclude Christ's burial and resurrection appearances?4

No word of warning regarding any of this?

But what does the apostle Paul say?

"Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears." (Acts 20:28-31, NKJV)

The real tragedy of the groundless gospel is that instead of warning the flock, DBC is welcoming the false teacher!

A wolf has come home.
