District Attorney Matthew Barton’s righteous press release re “pastor” Lindsey Whiteside of  Getwell Church, “She used the Gospel of Jesus Christ as a weapon!”

Thank you, Sir, for calling the judge’s decision “an abomination,” and for your righteous rebuke of the sexual predator and the system that gave her such a light sentence. As well as calling out corrupt public school officials. Below are my comments regarding an unbiblical ecclesiology that fosters this environment.  

As I have had to say too many times before. A solution to this problem is to run from a so-called “church” that has “youth ministries,” or “youth pastors.” Run from a “church” that is egalitarian. Run from “churches” that falsely claim God loves everyone the same and lie claiming Christ atoned for the sins of everyone. And, as they falsely claim, “if we will reach out and accept” the Lord, you are an alleged Christian, hence creating false converts. Though that’s usually Arminianism, in this case it’s Wesleyanism. Run from “churches” that offer extra-biblical programs. Run from any churchman who wants to spend time with your children. Run from synagogues of Satan that allow homosexuals or fornicators to join – Run! None of the aforementioned practices can be found in the Scriptures. Which is a nice way of saying those “churches” are unbiblical. Find a church that is ‘family integrated’ and that practices a regulative principle of worship (RPW). For a position paper on an RPW, click here, and an excellent article warning of ‘youth ministries’, click here.

Update: October 23, 2025 – Following her sentencing on state charges, a federal grand jury indicted Whiteside. She was subsequently rearrested on federal charges for “transporting a minor across state lines with the intent to engage in sexual activity.” For more information, visit this link.
