Please pray for Ray Johnston and all of the Bayside churches

There's a scandal about to rock Sacramento and Northern California. Ray Johnston is in it.

"If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness,

we lie and do not practice the truth." 1st John 1:6

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 1

Bayside's Ray Johnston does not walk in truth.

Ray Johnston, instead of doing the right thing before God,

and taking the narrow path,

he chose the broadway that leads to destruction.

Instead of doing the righteous thing and standing up for justice,

he decided that good was evil and evil was good.

He walked in the counsel of the wicked,

he stood in the path of sinners,

and he sat in the seat of the scornful.

Jesus described the corrupt religious leaders of His day as

"whitewashed sepulchers" Matthew 23:27

Ray Johnston and his leadership team are just like that as well.

They are whitewashing their own sins and deceptions

under the cloak of religion, while they whitewash and deceive

the flock of God who have trusted them as good shepherds,

but in reality, are just hirelings to perform what appears

as religious activities, supposedly in service to God.

Take away their big pay checks, they would flee the flock!

They're an abomination.

"‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked

turn from his way and live."

Though Bayside is a big church, Ray Johnstons leadership team are not holding Ray accountable, calling for his repentance.

How can they preach "repentance", the first word of the gospel,

when they themselves don't repent.

Jesus Himself said "REPENT, for the kingdom of God is at Hand."

"God is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)

(See the video at the end, Bonhoeffer describes Bayside Church)

Ray Johnston

His silence in his role in this crime is deafening. Repent Ray

If you are a member of Bayside. You're in for a wake-up call

For 16 years Ray Johnston has continued on in his sins. It is time for him to be removed.

Perhaps Ray Johnston in his sheer ignorance about truth, thought it was more lucrative for himself and Bayside to just ignore Raley's crime and to not force the issue with Bayside member Bill Coyne to defend the accusations being brought against Raley's, the company where Coyne was their attorney, but at this time he was now Raley's CEO and President.

For a man who was wearing all those hats, he sure was a cowardice in the faith when it came to his duties to uphold Raley's good name.

It is quite possible that hiring Bill Coyne was Raley's big mistake.

But Bill Coyne with his legal mind, knew he couldn't come up against the mountain of evidence that he knew would obliterate the Raley/Teel family business and wealth. He knew that Charles Nordby was the man who created all of the Raley's success and wealth.

Bill Coyne was also privy to all that Raley's did to him.

As a corrupt attorney, a corrupt President and CEO, and even worse a corrupt man professing to be a Christian to everyone, Bill Coyne is heading into a very dark time in his life, and everyone will see it.

Ray Johnston and Bill Coyne must have conspired to hide from the

family of Charles Nordby and remain silent.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote this:

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

Unless they both repent for this evil they did to Charles Nordby,

they will face the wrath of God, and the name of Charles Nordby will be the echoing sounds they have to endure in the darkness of hell.

Pray for Ray Johnston, even church leaders fall from grace.

We know that God is a loving and forgiving God, we also know that God will not be mocked by anyone.

Regardless of the number of attendees, the number of churches, the size of the bank accounts, the value of the properties they sit on or anything else that a person can glory in, God will not allow deceivers in His house,

When a servant of God loses the desires of God and pursues their own earthly and worldly desires, God will take them out, whether they like it or not. Ray Johnston has determined that truth does not matter.

Gods whole character is based on TRUTH!

If a leader of a church has a character the opposite of God,

even though the music is good, the programs are good, the buildings

are beautiful and everything outwardly appears to be Gods blessings,

the sin of that leader tarnishes everything.

Ray Johnston and his entire Bayside leadership team

have closed their eyes to this abomination. God is sifting and testing the souls of men and women to find hearts who are perfect towards Him.

Remember, it was the religious leaders of Jesus' day who killed the TRUTH!

Nothing has changed in today's religious leaders.

Bayside Church of Granite Bay Founded by Ray Johnston

With weekly church attendance reported at 20,000 making it one of the largest churches in the U.S.

If a church leadership, no longer follow the scriptures in all of its daily activities, then it would be fair and appropriate to believe they are no longer followers of Jesus Christ and His Words, which removes them from the category of being a "Christian" church.

Bayside may be doing a lot of good works in their community, but if they are not adhering to the Bible and Jesus' teachings, what makes them any different from any other community service organization? Nothing!

Bayside with all of its offshoots is just another big religious business under the facade of being a God directed ministry.

If you are giving to a Bayside Church, are you promoting the Kingdom of God? or are you promoting the kingdom of Ray Johnston and his earthly kingdom? Jesus never lived like Ray Johnston and Ray Johnston never lived like Jesus. It is an openly religious hypocrisy.

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,"

1st Timothy 4:1

From what is evident is this matter, Ray Johnston has not only departed from the faith, he and his leadership team have departed from the

Word of God.

When a church or person departs from the Word of God, they also depart from Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God.

Then what does that leave you with? A worldly view consisting of

"the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life."

The Apostle Paul warns us in Philippians 3:18,19

"For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--

who set their mind on earthly things. "

Ray Johnston is a Liar. He needs to repent and resign.

People expect a man of God to be truthful. If he lies, he is not a man of God. That's the test!

We are told that God "hates a lying tongue". We are also told that all liars will have their part in the "lake of fire". And "you can be sure your sins will find you out". Ray is hiding his sins from his 20,000+ members church.

Mega church leaders all over America are being called out for their sins. When Pastor Ray was first being called out, he ignored us like everyone else has. He must have thought that he lived by a different standard than what the Bible teaches.

In his pride and arrogance, as the king of his religious domain, he was put to the test of truth, honesty, integrity and godliness. When he blew off the family of Charles Nordby who was just seeking answers from Bill Coyne, Raley's corrupt attorney/CEO/President, Ray Johnston chose to be a partaker of Raley's massive crime with everyone who also went silent.

It is one thing when the news media is corrupt, when attorneys are corrupt, when judges are corrupt and everything in a corrupt world system are corrupt, but when a person who professes Jesus Christ, and has created not only a mega church and mega business based on the Truth of Jesus Christ and the Bible, that person must maintain a much higher standard than the corruption of the world.

We do not know what other sins Ray Johnston has been involved in over the years, we are sure others do. But what he did to Charles Nordby and then the sin of lying to his church community, it is almost like God has drawn a line and Ray Johnston crossed it.

It is written in 1st Timothy 3:2 that one who is an overseer must be:

"above reproach"

Because Ray Johnston is not above reproach anymore, he must

repent, resign and do works worthy of repentance.

Then and only then will he be on the path of forgiveness,

righteousness and restoration, according to Gods Word.

When Ray Johnston went silent about the Raley's crime, we knew he wasn't what people thought he was.

It was never the intention for the family of Charles Nordby to

ensnare anyone into Raley's crime.

They ensnared themselves by their own doings. When they were caught, it was like God was testing the leadership of 4 mega churches in the Sacramento area to see what they would do when confronted with Raley's crime.

None of them were bold enough to take a stand against the evils of the world in Sacramento.

Because they had become too comfortable in their own sins, in their own wealth, in their own religious power and enjoyed the company of evil people.

We are commanded to:

"have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,

but rather expose them"

Ephesians 5:11

Very few church leaders can do that for fear of their own exposure.

Why would Jesus call? Because He is not at Bayside.

Ray Johnston even admits by his book title that Jesus is somewhere else asking for his church back.

When jack Nordby asked for a meeting with Ray Johnston, he completely ignored Jack for over 16 years. Jesus himself said: "Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

And even if Jesus himself did call Bayside, he would never ask for Ray Johnston, He never knew him.

Ray Johnston even admits by his book title that Jesus is somewhere else asking for his church back.

Jesus said: "I stand at the door and knock"

Ray Johnston has created a kingdom where he doesn't even feel like he has to answer the door when someone is knocking. All the commotion of the Bayside building drowns out the sound of Jesus' knock. No one at Bayside can hear the cries of the lost souls.

No One but Jesus.

Bayside Church in Roseville though they call it Granite Bay.

Ray was asked to help resolve this issue for Raley's since his church member Bill Coyne.....

was a member of Bayside and a professing Christian. He was also Raley's CEO/President at the time, and he was very well aware of his company's crimes and sins for many years but refused to help bring justice.

But the chapter of this story that took a strange turn of events, when Ray Johnston himself was caught in his own indiscretions and refused to confess these things when it was brought to him privately as prescribed by Jesus Himself in Matthew chapter 18

We then realized that "Pastor" Johnston had no intentions to help Charles Nordby's family in their quest for justice since he didn't want to see justice for himself either for what he was doing.

On the other hand, did Ray Johnston want to offend the wealthy Raley CEO Bill Coyne, considering Coyne may have been a very generous tither and giver at Bayside? It's all about the money and power. "Pastor" Ray should know better that you can't hide your sins from God.

He has never repented. God have mercy on his soul.

We didn't think Raley's would be able to influence the 4 mega church leaders in the Sacramento area.

But they did.

First was Louis Neely with the Warehouse Ministries.

2 &3 was Glen & Rick Cole of

The Capital Christian Center.

4th was Ray Johnston at the Bayside Church in Granite Bay.

There is other Sacramento Pastors who know about this story, but never directly got involved.

We do see connections between all these men and why they are so determined to protect Raley's and the Teel family.

Starting in 1994 while meeting in a tennis club and schools.

In less than 10 years this group of people were able to move to a 34 acre prime piece of property.

in the Roseville area though they kept the community's name of Granite Bay. Which was a very smart business move since the area of Granite Bay had become known as the elite and upscale community of the Sacramento Valley.

Was Ray Johnston following the pattern and formula of other successful mega churches in America? It would appear so.

What all of these mega churches have forgotten was the very simple scripture that states this:

“However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands,"

Knowing this truth, why would any child of God set out to spend many millions of dollars on a massive edifice such as Bayside?

Why?

Because Bayside represents the glory of men rather than the

Glory of God Almighty.

Jesus commands us to proclaim the Gospel,

nowhere in scripture are we told to build a building.

The Ray Johnston and Bayside Challenge. Very Simple to Anyone, "Prove us Wrong"

There was a $100,000 reward for anyone who could disprove

Charles Nordby's success story at Raley's and their subsequent crimes against him.

No one could do it!

Even Bill Coyne with access to all of Raley's financial records at his disposal, could not disprove anything that was being claimed by Charles Nordby.

That would have been an easy $100,000 donation to Bayside, had Bill Coyne been able to do it.

He knew he couldn't do it, because nobody could do it!

That should tell you everything!

Ray Johnston Over the Years has Created a Very Big Business

He has fooled a lot of people over the years. But 16 years ago, his faith was tested.

He was asked to call a member of Bayside Church into a meeting to discuss the crime of Raley's against Charles Nordby.

The member was Bill Coyne, who at the time was Raley's President and CEO, but was previously Raley's legal counsel.

We thought for sure that if both of these men are men of God,

then they would want to do the right thing.

Sadly, neither of them did the right thing.

They both failed the test of faith.

By every measure of the scriptures, Ray Johnston is not a man of faith,

he is a businessman. Anybody who is able to read, can get up on stage and read from the Bible, put on a great facade, tell a few fun and relevant stories and convince people he is doing the will of God so they will give money to the Ray Johnston religious business agenda.

At this same time God revealed to us a "money scheme" that Ray was using that he hijacked from Saddleback's Rick Warren.

A scheme that Ray Johnston said was his own.

"But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure your sin will find you out." Numbers 32:23

In Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus gives us the highest counsel on dealing with a sinning brother.

"Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.

If he hears you, you have gained your brother. "But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that 'by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. "And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church.

But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

Why didn't Ray Johnston follow this basic instruction of Jesus?

Because the real Ray Johnston is not a true disciple of Jesus Christ.

Please pray for Ray Johnston and all of the Bayside churches

There's a scandal about to rock Sacramento and Northern California. Ray Johnston is in it.

If you are a member of Bayside. You're in for a wake-up call

For 16 years Ray Johnston has continued on in his sins. It is time for him to be removed.

Bayside's Ray Johnston has no idea what to do. That's sad.

He should know that he cannot continue in his pastors position while he stays in his sinful mindset.

Pray for Ray Johnston, even church leaders fall from grace.

We know that God is a loving and forgiving God, we also know that God will not be mocked by anyone.

We're sure Ray Johnston has created a very high paying job, but his actions disqualify him from it.

Bayside Leadership Follow their leader, not the Word of God

Job and Paycheck Protection

Even his book title "The Problem with God" is questionable.

Can a person who believes in God really make a statement like that? Man has a problem, not God!

Mark Clark is a great actor. He seems so sincere, so believable that he is Ray's right- hand man.

Why would Jesus call? Because He is not at Bayside.

This Bonhoeffer video describes Bayside Church perfectly!

The church of Bonhoeffers day actually lulled people into sleep, death and eventually hell. WAKE UP!

Ray Johnston Bayside Sermon "Handling Hypocrisy"

"Isn't the Church Full of Hypocrites?" We felt that this was the perfect sermon for this website.

Please read these two messages. 1) Rick Warren dated 12/30/2009 to his church. 2) Ray Johnston sends the same message on 1/12/10 to Bayside.

As a Follower of Jesus Christ, if anyone wrote letters like this to me, I would be on the phone to them before I finished reading it.

A letter to Ray Johnston and Sherwood Carthen, both Bayside Pastors. Dated January 21, 2009~16 years ago
