Dr. Ruckman did not mistaken Robert Breaker in the 2010 letter or 1, 2, 3 John, Jude 2010 track 3 study

Robert Breaker says that Dr. Ruckman mistook him for other individuals in Milton. This is false, and I wrote in detail why this is so.

The first time Robert Breaker said this was on January 12, 2026, in a comment where he also said that Dr. Ruckman beat his wife.

"animejefftv MUST READ IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH... How interesting. First, he's not

my Pastor, but my old Pastor. Now, thanks for posting this. I just listened to

it. Wow! Hard to believe that's the Ruckman I knew. What I see is Ruckman

erroneously lumping me in with a Church in Milton (called Faith Baptist Church)

where Dewey Marrs was once Pastor. But, I was NOT a part of that church, nor did

I have anything to do with Dewey. (I did meet him once. Nice guy). Dewey was on

the radio preaching all the time. What he preached was backwards to me (and

apparently to Ruckman too). That church said the whole world was already

reconciled to Christ. They always went to 2 Cor. 5:19 and changed "reconciling"

to "reconciled." I don't see that. And, they'd never read the next verse: "Be ye

reconciled to Christ!" That is, a sinner must accept it, so Ruckman got that

right! And that's what I preach too! You must appropriate the atonement by

faith!" - Robert Breaker on January 12, 2026.


While Robert Breaker and Dewey definitely do not share the same beliefs, i.e., universal

reconciliation (except that doubting your salvation means you were not saved,

along with the issue of calling), I believe Dr. Ruckman's logic for lumping him

in with Dewey is demonstrated in how he connects Mormonism to Roman Catholicism because they share the same core tenet of calling themselves the church:

"The name of the Mormons’ church, for one, shows the Roman Catholic nature of

it. Mormons call their church 'The Church of Jesus Christ' (notice the definite

article). If it is 'THE Church of Jesus Christ,' then it has to be the church of

Matthew 16:18 ('upon this rock I will build my church'). That is, in claiming to

be the one true church that Christ founded, the difference between a Mormon and

a Roman Catholic is nothing; they are exactly the same." - Dr. Ruckman, Why I Am

Not a Mormon, Chapter 1: "The Church of the Blockheads"

Dr. Ruckman sees that they share a core tenet, so he lumps them in with each

other.

Robert Breaker and Dewey both believe that calling as a condition for salvation is a work

and that doubting your salvation means you are not saved, so Dr. Ruckman lumps

Robert Breaker in with him.

Dr. Ruckman, in Track 3 of his 2010 Jude study, demonstrated that he very much

did know your theology:

This is the full transcript of him introducing it:

"Uh, you you want to find out whether you're saved, it's real simple. If you

don't If you don't know you're saved, don't have assurance, I can tell you how

to get assurance. You might have been saved 30, 40 years ago, I don't know. If

you thought you were saved then, maybe you were, maybe I wasn't there. But I can

tell you how to know you're saved right now. All you have to do is ask yourself

this one question, Christian: What am I trusting to keep me out of hell? Right

now. I take for granted you trusted him back then when you did it. I preach hell

to the kids. I tell them they're going to hell without Christ. I tell them they

need Christ, give invitation to receive Christ. If they're sincere, that's done.

Ask yourself right now, what am I trusting to keep me out of hell? And when you

land on that right thing, if you're trusting nothing but the blood of Christ to

save you, you are saved, whether you understood that or not. That old Dewey

Morris, that fellow there, Breaker going around saying, 'Well, you got to have

the blood in your confession of faith. If they don't pray for the blood of

Christ to save, and the blood that's been shed.' Philip led that Ethiopian

eunuch to the Lord, and the word blood isn't mentioned one time in that

conversion. You see, he's reading Isaiah 53. You won't find the word blood in

Isaiah 53. It isn't there. And it's on the atonement. That's what you're getting

from those fellows. You're getting a bunch of dumb, stupid people who can't read

the Bible. I say that with charity, of course. All right, back to 1 John. Uh

that's what comes from fooling with that kind of stuff there." - Dr. Peter S.

Ruckman

1. He says Robert Breaker believe calling as a condition is a work.

He connects Robert Breaker with Dewey because both of them believe it:

"Well, Brother Breaker, who graduated in this school and is trying to sell his

own Mexican Bible right now, has gone all over the country saying, and I've got

it in print, that if you doubt your salvation, you've never really been saved.

So you know what they do? His kind of people, and they got, they got a

missionary conference coming up here this week, I think. Bringing all these

fellas around to teach this junk. And what they're telling you is that if you

doubt your salvation, you couldn't have really been saved. Well, that's a crock.

(Laughter) They take that passage in Romans that says: 'Whosoever calleth upon

the name of the Lord shall be saved.' You know what I've heard him do? Oh, Dewey

over there? He goes back in the Old Testament and says to call upon the name of

the Lord is not a reference to you getting saved, because everybody in the Old

Testament when they called upon the name of the Lord, it was just to save them

from some kind of trouble."

He says Robert Breaker believe that if you doubted your salvation, it means you were

never saved:

"Well, Brother Breaker, who graduated in this school and is trying to sell his

own Mexican Bible right now, has gone all over the country saying, and I've got

it in print, that if you doubt your salvation, you've never really been saved."

"I said, 'Lord, fill me with the Spirit. Fill with the Spirit.' His brother said

in the prayer, he said, 'Don't fill him, Lord; he leaks.' Now, the way a

Christian doubts his salvation is a bad conscience. And there's a bunch of nuts

over in Milton, you know, Mars or Dewey or whatever his name is, and all this

Chris; they got one Chris now coming in, and he's giving you all the same

baloney. And I heard Mac; they're playing Mac's tapes from about five years ago

over there, Johnson, and he's giving you the same old baloney: 'None of you

folks are saved, see, unless you do the works that I do. Now, if you do the

works that I do, that proves that you're just kidding yourself. You thought you

were saved. But if you do the works I do, that's proof that you're saved, see,

right there.' And those fellows, they're all pretending that before they were

saved, why, they just did terrible works. Mac Johnson didn't; he preached for

about 10 years and then still said he wasn't saved and got saved. You gotta

watch that bunch. I never met a Christian in my life (I may have met one without

talking to him fully, but discussing these matters) who didn't at some time or

another doubt his salvation because of stuff that happened after he was saved."

- Track 12 of 1, 2, 3 John, Jude

"And when I thought to myself, when I did something wrong, mom and dad would

say, 'Now, a Christian wouldn't do that.' See the little boy or girl, and you

get your little boy or girl doubting their salvation, and why, she was saved the

whole time, but she never got assurance because she got in here and in the book.

And that's what happened to Mac Johnson over there, and that's what Dewey Mars

over there, and L.R. Shelton, and Bob Ross, and let's see, Rolf Bonnard the

evangelist, and L.R. Shelton out of New Orleans did. They try to talk everybody

out of their salvation by the way they live or by the way they doubt, and claim

they know that they were really saved and you don't. By the Lord, brethren,

there are only three people in the world that know for sure that you're saved,

and that's all who will ever know until you get home to glory. There's only

three of them: one of them is the Lord, and one of them is the devil. You're not

going to fool the devil about yourself; he knows whether you're saved or not,

and if you're saved, he doesn't care; he's got no use for you at all. If you're

saved, the Lord knows you're saved, and there's only one other person that can

know, and that's you. And you'll never know until you believe what He said. And

you can be saved and not know it because you don't spend time in the book. Okay,

I didn't intend to get into a sermon; I was going to teach this morning. It kind

of runs off with you sometimes. All right, let's take a break." - Track 03

3. He talks about Robert Breaker's Reina-Valera Bible:

"Brother Breaker, who graduated in this school and is trying to sell his own

Mexican Bible right now"

4. He talks about Robert Breaker's view of salvation, where the blood of Jesus Christ must

be consciously trusted as your object of faith, and he says that no one in

Acts knew about the blood atonement, yet they were still saved:

"Peter never mentioned the blood in the whole chapter! He didn't mention Christ

dying for anybody's sins in Acts chapter 2. And they all got saved and got the

Holy Spirit. And they didn't have any assurance because nobody even talked; why,

he didn't talk about the blood atonement in Acts chapter 3. He said your sins

will get blotted out when the Lord comes back. Peter didn't even know they were

blotted out now, after he'd been preaching for two or three years. But they were

saved right then when they did what? When they received Christ."

I am purposely providing commentary for this passage. Right here, he attacks

Robert Breaker's theology of salvation:

"Brother Breaker and these boys got this idea, if you weren't saved like I was

saved... Well, all of them got saved when they were about eight, nine, or ten

years old and didn't understand it. Then, when they started living like the

devil as teenagers, they got under conviction, got to reading the Bible, and

then is when they thought they got saved. That's when they got assurance!

(Laughs) (Amen.) And what they try to do is make retreads out of you people.

They go around the country and try to talk everybody out of their salvation so

they can say, 'Well, he was really saved under...' (Clears throat) '...under my

preaching.' That thing back there in Sunday school when we went forward to take

the preacher's hand, that didn't count. (Yeah.) That's what they're doing."

Dewey and the Milton church did not hold any of those beliefs outside of

numbers 1 and 2.

If Dr. Ruckman were understood through the lens of mistaking Robert Breaker's theology for

Dewey's, he would have had no reason to address his distinct blood doctrine.

This is Dr. Ruckman's own assessment of Dewey's theology in his 2003 Romans

commentary:

"That is important to get, because there is a teaching traveling through

Bible-believing Baptist churches (in my area, it is espoused by the Faith

Baptist Church in Milton, Florida, and its former pastor, Mac Johnson, now

deceased) that your salvation is already paid and your sins are already forgiven

and you are welcome in Heaven. All you have to do is to consent to the fact that

you are already saved; you are to thank God that He has already saved you, but

for God’s sake, don’t ask God to save you: that is 'works salvation.' All the

clowns are not in the circus." - Chapter 5

He later discusses the Milton church in his 2013 Gospel of Luke commentary (on

Luke 18):

"There is a movement among Bible-believing Christians today that says if you

pray to receive Christ, that is a work, and you aren’t saved by works

(Eph. 2:8–9; Tit. 3:5). The logical conclusion to such an argument is that if

you prayed to get saved, that you are lost and need to be saved (again!). It is

the Baptist version of the Brownsville Revival retreaders. It’s propagated by

pastors who aren’t seeing many people saved in their churches, so they turn on

their congregations and try to reconvert them. In one of these churches over in

Milton, the associate pastor (who was the son of the pastor) professed to have

gotten saved seven times. That was six times past the first time when he prayed

to be saved. And you are going to trust a man with no more assurance or

stability than that to lead you to Christ?"

He says that the associate pastor professed to have gotten saved six additional

times (without praying) after the first time he prayed.

And this is his commentary on Dewey's views before he mentions Robert Breaker:

"That fellow was sanctified by the blood of Christ and turned it down.

And 30, 31, that fellow's an unsaved man. But he was sanctified, set apart by

the blood to be shed for him. Now, if you want to see how the thing works, come

to Second Corinthians. In Second Corinthians 5, notice how you can really get a

real contradiction out of this if you fool with it like the folks over in

Milton. And they really fool with it. But your salvation is when Christ dies on

the cross; technically speaking, everybody should be saved right on the spot.

And here's why: 2 Corinthians 5 verse 19, 'To wit' (a legal term that

specifically means 'that is to say'), 'to wit, that God was in Christ,

reconciling the world unto himself.' Well, then he's okay, isn't he? He was in

Christ and reconciled the world to Himself. Well, it must be all right then,

okay? No, it ain't. Well, now, keep reading: 'Not imputing their trespasses unto

them.' Then their sins aren't charged to them. No one can say a man is going to

hell; it's all taken care of. Christ died, reconciled Himself, and took all

their sins and charged them to Christ. So when they die, they don't have any sin

on them, right? No, no, it isn't right. Now that's what they're giving you over

there in Milton. They're saying, 'Well, all you have to do is believe that, and

if you believe that, you're saved; if you don't believe that, you're not saved.'

So when you're out, you don't tell the fellow to receive Christ; you don't have

him let Christ come into his heart or say, 'Save me.' Over in Milton, they teach

over that radio station five days a week that calling upon Christ doesn't save

you unless you believe this as it is worded. If you believe that as it is

worded, you wouldn't have to call on Christ. But you must be able to. You say,

why? Verse 20."

I do not believe he could have mistaken the Milton church for Robert Breaker, as the blood

doctrine itself is so distinct and clearly contrasts Robert Breaker with Dewey.

I think it is a defensible view that Dr. Ruckman knew who Robert Breaker were. Even if Robert Breaker

claims he was mistaken, Robert Breaker teach all three of those things to this day, and in the

material I have seen from him in 2010 to 2011, he taught them back then as

well.

For that not to be Robert Breaker, and for Dr. Ruckman to have been mistaken, he would

have to:

1. Believe calling as a condition for salvation is not a work.

2. Believe one can be saved without consciously trusting in the blood of Jesus

Christ as one's distinct object of saving faith.

3. Believe one can doubt one's salvation and still be saved.

4. Believe there is nothing wrong with the 1960 RVG.
