Perry NoBle
Perry Noble is the lead pastor of the 14,000 member Emergent style Newspring church located in Anderson SC. Before starting Newspring church Noble received his training from South Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Noble is gaining quite the notoriety with in the up and coming of Emergent seeker friendly church leaders for his out of the box style of preaching. Among those who he has received a warm welcoming from is Steven Furtick pastor of Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC. With associations like Furtick this of course means that Noble like so many of his fellow cohorts are guilty of biblical obfuscation, narcissistic eisegesis, alone with allegorical Bible interpretation.
Noble is better know in and out of the Emergent circles for pulling such stunts as in 2009's Easter Sunday debacle that featured AC/DC's song "Highway to Hell" as the church's opening worship song, which can be seen below. This example alone should be enough to send alarm bells ringing and questions flying of why would a "pastor" allow this to be played in his church? Furthermore why would a "pastor" allow this to be Easter Sunday's theme song?

This is not the only time that Perry Noble is guilty of stepping outside the bounds of biblical preaching. Noble is very good at pulling what is called the "heresy two step", or better know as double talk. In this video below you can hear Noble teaching a false message on the Tithe. Listen in this video very carefully to what Noble says. He is preaching Old Testament Law. He is making God's favor to us an act or condition dependent our works. This time that "works" is the action of giving. It's not only the act of giving the but conditional giving with an expectant of receiving a blessing from God. Perry is very close to engaging in blasphemy with the way he is teaching on the tithe.
This teaching on the Tithe by Noble is nothing but an attempt to fill the pockets of the his church by scaring the members of Newspring. What Noble is teaching here is not found in the New Testament Church teachings of the book of Acts. When dealing with the OT tithe, we must remember that when
Jesus was walking the earth, He had not yet completed His atonement for sin.
Because of this Jesus did instruct people to listen to the Rabbi and to
continue following the requirements of the OT. After His sin atonement, Jesus
gave us the new covenant of Grace thus abolishing the Law that was against us.
If we are to tithe today are we also to bring sin sacrifices to the temple for
our sins?
Beside Perry's false teaching on the Tithe he is also guilty of not following the biblical mandates of a the qualifications of a pastor found in Titus 1:5 – 9. In Perry's own words he tells us that he is "too busy for people to get to know him." You can hear below in this video the very self centered, self serving mandate of Perry and how it's all about him and his needs not the the Church or it's people but about Perry and himself.

John 10:12-12 ~"12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep."
The wolf here is Perry Noble. He is not a Shepard. He does not fit the qualifications of being a shepherd of a flock. He is neither teachable, humble nor is he able to refute or sound doctrine. Instead he engages in acts of scolding the sheep and shattering the flock telling them what he is "not" going to do.
An another example of Perry and his behavior that is not coming of a pastor is in the following video. Listen to how Perry misinterprets and twist the meaning of Christ's atonement and brings it down to basing it on "works" and results while allegorizing "us" and "his church" into the meaning of Christ's atonement.

Christ did not die so He could save more people, as Noble puts it. Christ according to his own words in Matthew 15:24 said "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the host of Israel."
Perry has taken and equivocated the atoning work of Christ to meet his own meaning of Scripture and to meet his own agenda for Newspring church.
Perry's mishandling of biblical text are common place and happen as regularity as he preaches. Listen to this clip below and hear how his misappropriates Acts 8:1&4. He equivocates this teaching to the first "multi site" church. This is not what these verse are teaching. Emergent pastors like Noble often will take parts of passages and read extra meanings into the texts that are not there. In this case Perry has taken a descriptive verse and has made a prescriptive. Acts chapter 8 verses 1 and 4 are strictly explaining the persecution of believers and destruction of the church. They are not a prescription for making "multi-sited" churches. Perry Noble once again is reading a meaning into the text that is not there.
Also listen in this clip how he comes against those that "take shots" against pastors or speak out against those who are not teaching the truth. What he is doing here is actually engaging in a pot calling the kettle black fallacy. Is he himself not engaging and taking shots at those pastors and bloggers that point out his incorrect teachings?
I would sight here, contrary to what Noble says, that we are to call out those in the body that are teaching false doctrines and remove them from the body. This is clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 5:12-13.
"12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

The problems with Perry Noble are numerous and far reaching. From his emergent preaching style to his mishandling of Scripture all the way to his conduct making him unfit to be a Pastor. The information above more than proves Noble's malapropos behaviors and attitudes towards others outside the church in his very own flock. Anyone who is attending Newspring Church should seriously question why they are attending this church and sitting under the leadership of such an inapt man who goal seems to be to glorify himself more than Christ?
