BAYO OLUWAYEMI CLAIMS NOBODY WILL GO TO HELL FOR SINNING (PART III)

“When the Consequences of Sin Have Nothing to Do with God” By Akin Ojumu In Parts I and II of this commentary, we examined Bayo Oluwayemi’s assertion that nobody will go to hell for sinning. According to the Nigerian cleric, people are condemned not because of their sins but because they reject Jesus Christ. We established from Scripture that this is a false distinction. Humanity stands condemned because of sin, and rejecting Christ leaves the sinner under that condemnation. But Oluwayemi’s teaching did not end with his declaration concerning sin and eternal judgment. He went further. Much further. GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN? During his July 2, 2026, interactive service, Oluwayemi acknowledged that sinful actions can produce painful consequences. However, he emphatically insisted that those consequences have absolutely nothing to do with God. “So, up till now, there is still repercussion of sin. Hear me very well. And that repercussion is not God. When you are s...

“The False Distinction Between Sin and the Rejection of Christ” By Akin Ojumu In Part I of this commentary, we examined the extraordinary declaration made by Bayo Oluwayemi during his July 2, 2026, interactive service. “Nobody will go to hell for sinning. Nobody will go to hell for sin. I repeat. Quote it and put my name there.” According to Oluwayemi, Christ’s death has removed sin as a barrier between God and humanity. He insisted that people do not go to hell because of their sins but because they reject Jesus Christ. His explanation was unequivocal: “Why will people now go to hell? Because they deny Jesus. The reason why people will go to hell is because they deny Jesus.” But does Scripture actually establish such a distinction? Does the Bible teach that people are condemned solely for rejecting Christ and not because of their sins? The answer is no. A FALSE DICHOTOMY Oluwayemi presents sin and the rejection of Christ as though they were mutually exclusive grounds of condemnation. ...

“When a Preacher Declares That Sin No Longer Condemns Humanity” By Akin Ojumu Bayo Oluwayemi is the Senior Pastor of The Word International Christian Centre (TWICC), Wonders’ Chapel, in Ipetumodu, Osun State, Nigeria. He is also the President and General Overseer of the United Apostolic Church of Christ (UACC) Worldwide. During a question-and-answer session held on July 2, 2026, titled “Interactive Service with Pastor Bayo Oluwayemi,” the Nigerian cleric made several remarkable assertions concerning sin, salvation, divine judgment, and the consequences of sinful conduct. One particular declaration stood out. Speaking with considerable confidence, Oluwayemi announced: “Nobody will go to hell for sinning. Nobody will go to hell for sin. I repeat. Quote it and put my name there.” Well, there you have it.  The man of God has spoken. And he wants everyone to know precisely where he stands. Nobody will go to hell for sinning. Nobody will go to hell for sin. Just in case anyone might be t...

WHEN LOYALTY TO THE “MAN OF GOD” TRUMPS LOYALTY TO THE WORD OF GOD

By Akin Ojumu Back in September, I published an essay titled: “AROME OSAYI AND THE THEOLOGY OF THE MUTE BUTTON.” The commentary was an expanded version of my response to a YouTube video in which Arome Osayi, the self-proclaimed apostle, offered one of the most astonishing explanations of a fundamental Christian doctrine I have ever heard. According to Arome, the reason God is described as IMMUTABLE is that He cannot be MUTED. Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, in Arome Osayi’s theological universe, divine immutability has something to do with the inability of anyone to press a celestial mute button and silence the Almighty. Nearly two months later, one of Arome’s devoted supporters decided that my theological insolence could no longer be tolerated. My offense? Daring to subject the teaching of his revered “man of God” to biblical scrutiny. The individual wrote: “You definitely listened to the message with the intention of critiquing it and finding fault. Whether it was a matter ...
