Alice
Cooper's Shallow Salvation Testimony
Here is what CBS
News has to say about Alice Cooper allegedly becoming a Christian . . .
Alice Cooper, Christian: ‘The World Belongs
to Satan’
CBS News | December 31, 2014
By Michael W. Chapman
... “God’s
chipping away at your life all the time to try to make you more like Him,”
said Cooper. “That’s what a Christian is, a person that’s being molded and
shaped all their life …. I think the Lord expects you to do your best in His
name. I had to struggle a long time about rock and roll. I realized it’s not
really the music. It’s what’s being said with the music. So I think you have
to be careful of what you’re writing, what you’re representing.”
For those people who may have been big Alice Cooper fans back in 1970s and
1980s but who are still following the sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll lifestyle
and not following Christ, Cooper said, “Well, they’re going to eventually know
Christ, and I hope it’s not too late. If you’re at the wrong end at the wrong
time, I think that’s going to be tragic.”
As for the temptations of this world, Cooper said, “Sure, what is the world
made up of? It’s made up of that. The world doesn’t belong to us. It belongs
to Satan. We’re living in that world. We’re bombarded with that every day.”
“So how do we react to that?” he said. “If you don’t have Christ in
your life, then you’re a victim to it. So I think what we have to be very
careful about is how we react to the world. If we have Christ in our life now,
we have to react humbly. React in a teaching way and at the same time be
humble about it.” [italics added]

CBS News - Alice Cooper, Christian: ‘The World Belongs to Satan’
Alice Cooper makes
no mention of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Alice speaks of “God chipping away
at your life” to make you more like Him, but that is not Biblical. There must
be a new birth by the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus said in John 3:3, “Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.” There's no mention in Alice's
shallow testimony of the Lord's
shed blood on the cross, His death, burial nor bodily resurrection the third
day. Instead, Alice says, “That’s what a Christian is, a person that’s being
molded and shaped all their life.” Whoa, that's not what a Christian is! A
Christian is someone who has been born-again by grace alone, through faith
alone, in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. To learn the blessed
truth of God's Word, please read the excellent sermon by Pastor Harry Ironside
(1876-1951) titled, “What
Is The Gospel?”
Here's further
evidence of Vincent Furnier's (aka, Alice Cooper) shallow profession of
Christianity. It appears to me, clearly, that Cooper came to religion, not
true Christianity. Pastor J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988) was right when he said
that many people have churchianity without Christianity. Here's what World
Net Daily says about Alice Cooper's religious experience . . .
ALICE COOPER GOES WITH GOD
'Shock-rock' pioneer now 'dedicated to
follow Christ'
World Net Daily | March 01, 2003
...Cooper said he became a Christian “initially more out
of the fear of God, rather than the love of God … I did not want to go to
hell.” Interviewed for HM’s March/April issue, Cooper views his faith as “an
ongoing thing.”
“Being a Christian is something you just progress in.
You learn. You go to your Bible studies. You pray,” he said.

World Net
Daily: Alice Cooper Goes With God
May I say, kindly,
becoming a Christian is not “an ongoing thing,” nor is it “something you just
progress in.” Becoming a Christian means being born-again by the Holy Spirit
of God. The new birth is a miracle of God in response to a person's faith in
the Gospel (Good News) of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who was crucified on
the cross for our sins and raised up the third day from the dead (1st
Corinthians 15:1-4). ...
John 1:12-14, “But as many
as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that
believe on his name: Which were born,
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
The new birth is
instant, and then our new life in Christ continues (because the Holy Spirit
indwells us). The new birth cannot be undone. Anyone who teaches that
salvation can be lost utterly fails to comprehend the doctrine of the new
birth. You can no more lose your salvation than a human child could be unborn
into the world. If saved, always saved! Alice Cooper says he became a
Christian in the 1980's. Why doesn't he mention a time and place, at least a
memory, of the moment that he was born-again? The reason obviously is that he
cannot, because he has never been born anew into the family of God.
Alice Cooper
claims to believe the Bible 100%, that it says what it means and means what it
says. Sounds good. Unfortunately, Mr. Cooper wouldn't know what the Bible
teaches if it hit him upside the head. Sickeningly, Alice Cooper, when asked
what the Gospel is according to him, says that God put him into the Rock music
industry (in the camp of the Philistines as he calls it), and his
contribution as a professed Christian in Satan's world of darkness is his
testimony (read his shameful words for yourself) . . .
'The Harvest Show'
interviewer asks: We've all heard of the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John, what is the gospel according to Alice? If you were to summarize the
message that so influenced your life, what would it be?
Alice Cooper responds: If
it says that Jonah was swallowed by a whale, then it means it. I don't believe
this stuff that it's all well, you know, it's kind of, those are all parables.
I say if it says it, it means it. You know and, people will laugh at me and
say, 'Well, you know, you can't really believe that.' And I go, 'Well if God
can believe that God created the world and created everything in it, why
wouldn't I believe a simple thing like that? That's not a hard thing. You
know, the very fact that He cared enough about me to save my life about 20
times.
You know, and ah, help me
survive a million different things, to help put me where I am now. And then
the challenge I have now being a Christian in the Rock business. You know, He
kind of put me in the camp of the Philistines, which is ok.
'The Harvest Show'
interviewer asks: What's that like?
Alice Cooper responds:
Well, you have to live your life every day. You have to live your faith. You
know, I'm living in a world that's not my world. I know that, but I live in
it, and I try to live my faith every day in it. That's my testimony!

What a bunch of
bullcrap! Ladies and gentleman, you just read the testimony of a religious
unsaved man who is doing much to harm Christianity every day of his life.
Alice Cooper travels all around the world glorifying Satan with his music.
Rock music has always been the Devil's music.
Notice that Alice
was asked to summarize the greatest message he had ever heard that influenced
his life. The interviewer references the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. The best Alice could down is claim that he takes the Bible at face value
(but is woefully ignorant of its truths) and is trying to live his faith in
the Rock music industry. There is no mention of Christ at all.
If you were to ask
me the same question, I would instantly tell you that Jesus Christ died on the
cross for my sins, was buried and raised up, and I realized at age 13 that I
was a guilty sinner and believed on the name of Jesus to be saved. I believed
the Gospel message! I received Jesus as my personal Savior! In sharp contrast,
Alice Cooper didn't mention anything about the day, place or event when he was
saved. Clearly, Alice has never been born-again and does not know the Lord
Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.
From reading all
the information online about Alice's alleged conversion to Christianity, it is
extremely clear that he has never been saved at all. Cooper is very wrong,
even irreverent, to say that God put him in an immoral business that he openly
admits is controlled by Satan. No one is making him stay there. No one forced
him to serve the Devil. No one made Vincent Furnier (aka, Alice Cooper) sell
his soul. Alice has a net worth of $40 million, while godly pastors and
missionaries live on poverty wages around the world.
Alice Cooper is a
very wicked man and will split Hell wide open when he dies, the very thing
that he claims to fear. Alice said he got saved because he was afraid of going
to Hell. The Holy Bible calls Alice Cooper is total liar in Psalms
36:1, “The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no
fear of God before his eyes.” Those who live in open sin do not fear God.
If they did, they would obey Him. Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to
fall into the hands of the living God.” Alice Cooper performs concerts with
Satanic scum
like Motley Crue, who openly worship Satan. Their concerts and albums feature
an upside-down pentagram (the world recognized symbol for Satanism. A
non-inverted pentagram represents the symbol for the occult). Who does Alice think that he's
kidding? There are naked women at the concerts, drugs and every form of
wickedness!!! Rock music is synonymous with substance abuse, sexual immorality
and rebellion against authority.
Like phony
Dave Mustaine of MEGADETH (another bogus professed
Christian), Alice Cooper claims that as a result of their conversion to
Christianity, they don't sing Satanic lyrics anymore. What a farce! They both
still perform hellish heavy-metal music, with screeching electric guitars,
thundering Rock 'N' Roll drum rhythms, booming bass riffs and all the elements
of a Satanic offering. Dave Mustaine even called his Satanic album titled,
“Th1rt3en,” “an offering.” The music is far more dangerous than the lyrics.
During a 1993 Oprah Winfrey interview, Michael Jackson, explained the reason
for some of his filthy sexual gestures during his concerts:
“It happens subliminally. IT'S THE MUSIC THAT COMPELS ME TO
DO IT. You don't think about it, it just happens. I'M SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM.”
(The Evening Star, Feb. 11, 1993,
p. A10)
Unbelievably, Alice Cooper
(who is now 67 years old) attributes his worldly success to God, claiming
that God put him where he is now. That's really sad! The truth is that Satan
put Alice Cooper where he's at. There is no doubt that Cooper signed an
Illuminati contract, which is required in blood, and is life-binding, on
penalty of losing everything. Famous celebrities in Hollywood and the music
industry don't just get filthy rich and famous, they are required to sell
their souls to Satan, in exchange for fame and fortune.
Alice
Cooper's Satanic So-Called “Christian Walk”
Alice Cooper has
become extremely wealth by glorifying sin, leading millions of fans into lives
of alcoholism, drugs, sexual immorality, rebellion and reckless behavior since
the mid 1960's. Here's the shameful
video biography of Alice Cooper. There is no honor in Alice Cooper's
pathetic career. Hell will be hot. In all the video documentaries and
resources available, no where does Alice ever apologize for his shameful music
and bizarre antics, both on and off stage (e.g., public nakedness, nude
wrestling, cross-dressing, alcoholism, beheadings, hangings, butchered baby
dolls, snakes, ripping live chickens apart in concert, et cetera). WHAT A
SATANIC FRAUD!!!
Now all of a
sudden in 2001 Alice Cooper professes to be a Christian, but he still defends,
sings and performs the Devil's rock music. This is no different than if a
lifelong pornographer claims to become a Christian, but now says that he's
Christ's he will no longer publish vulgar interviews, but he'll publish
pornography without the previous vulgar words (because it's really the words
and not the pornography that are bad he says). This is Alice Cooper's attitude
toward the Devil's music. Alice claims that it's the lyrics that are bad and
not the music itself. That is a lie of Satan! Anyone who supports the evil
villain of Alice Cooper or his music and behavior is not right with God. WHAT
A BUNCH OF DEVILS! Only God knows how many teenager's lives have been ruined
because of the evil influences of Alice Cooper's character.
Do you know why
Alice is allegedly coming to Christ now? It is because all of those punky
rebellious youth from Alice Cooper's early years are now in the 50's and 60's,
getting up in years. The Devil is giving the illusion that you can serve evil
in the name of Christ and die happy. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If, just for the sake of argument (and I don't believe for one second that
it's true), Alice Cooper were a genuine born-again Christian, he is a very
wicked man, very far away from God, and as worldly and saturated with sin as
can be. Alice Cooper is no hero! Vincent Furnier is no hero! His parents ought
to greatly be ashamed. Worldly success is failure with God. I've yet to hear
Mr. Furnier say anything to convince me that he's truly been born-again.
Here's another video, in which
Alice makes some very interesting comments. Alice gives concise and well
explained answers. Alice speaks of the God-shaped hole in man's heart, that
nothing can fill except Christ. It sounds good. When asked what Alice would
say to those who don't know Christ yet, he said that they WILL KNOW CHRIST
eventually, but hopefully it won't be too late, being on the wrong side of the
fence. Again, that sounds good. That is very true, and it almost seems to
indicate that perhaps Alice is really saved. However, just because Alice makes
some appealing religious comments in no way indicates that he is saved. Nobody
knows as much about the Bible as the Devil.
Alice admits that
he grew up in a church environment. He also admits that his father was a
Mormon minister. Mormonism is of the Devil, a sex-perverted, Masonic, false
religion of utter darkness!!! Alice continually speaks highly in religious
terms of his MORMON father, who was an evangelist for 25 years. His wife is
just as spiritually messed-up as he is. These are wicked people!!! Anything
for fame and fortune. Mormonism is of the Devil, but Alice Cooper never
exposes this Satanic cult, he promotes it by endorsing his father's Mormon
work. Obviously, something is very wrong spiritually.
As the church
becomes more worldly, so also is the world becoming more churchy. The clear
line between being saved and unsaved has been blurred by Satan, to where now
anybody who claims the name of Christ is automatically assumed to be a
Christian. Remember, even Satan himself is transformed into the appearance of
Christ, and so also are his servants (2nd Corinthians 11:13-14). Alice Cooper
professes that Christ is his master, but he avoids speaking the name of
JESUS!!! Is the coming Antichrist Alice Cooper's “Christ?” Something is very
wrong with Alice Cooper's profession of faith. When asked how he came to the
Christian faith, he talks about growing up in church and being infatuated by
The Beatles. That's it! Alice doesn't mention the new birth. There's no
mention of the Gospel. I've listened to Alice's religious lyrics in some of
his songs, like Salvation. What a laughing joke! The lyrics are so
vague that it doesn't say anything. All Alice keeps repeating in his song,
Salvation, are the retarded phrases: “Any chance of salvation? Any chance
for me?”
The
Evidence of Salvation is the Presence of the Holy Spirit
I hear so many
errant preachers telling people that God won't save them unless they are
willing to stop living in deliberate sin. False converts like Alice Cooper
anger preachers (understandably), which compels many who are ignorant of the
Scriptures to alter God's plan of salvation, in an attempt to force people to
live right or go to Hell. That is simply not true. You cannot force anyone to
live right. The fact of the matter is that the world's churches are filled
with people who are trying to live right, but they are not saved, because they
are “going about to establish their own righteousness” and “have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” (Romans 10:3-4).
We don't live
right to get saved; but rather, we live right because we are saved. This is
called “discipleship.” It is abundantly clear that Alice Cooper is not a
disciple of Christ. No one actively involved in the Satanic music industry is
following Jesus Christ. NO ONE!!! Whether Alice is a born-again Christian is a
separate matter entirely, but as I've showed you, it is clear that he is not
saved either. So Alice is neither saved nor is he a follower of Christ. Judas
was a follower of Christ, but he was not saved. Jesus said in John 6:70 that
Judas had a devil. Alice Cooper sure seems like he has a devil. It's certainly
not the Holy Spirit working through his demonic music and concerts, compelling
thousands of fans to flash Satanic hand-signs.
Many of the chief
Jewish rulers in John 12:42-43 were saved, but they were not followers of
Christ.
Always keep salvation separate from discipleship, because they are not the
same. You can be saved by believing the Gospel, but not be an obedient
disciple (Romans 12:1-2). And you can follow Christ, thinking that you are
saved, but end up burning in Hell like the false prophets in Matthew 7:21-23.
Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life
without ever being born-again. Jesus said in John 3:3 that a man MUST be born
again in order to enter into the Kingdom of God. Have you been born-again?
I want you to
understand that the evidence of being saved is not a desire to stop sinning,
nor a desire to serve God. You can have these desires and yet not be saved at
all. The Biblical evidence of salvation is THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
1st John 3:24, “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he
in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the
Spirit which he hath given us.” All of the evidences of being
saved (1st John 5:13) that are taught in the Epistle of 1st John are BECAUSE
of the indwelling Holy Spirit. It is so important that you understand that.
You know if God's
Spirit lives in you! I sure know it! The day I was saved at age 13, it was
like a spiritual switch being flicked on in my life. Prior to that, all I
remember is darkness, no awareness of God's Spirit at all in my life. But
since that beautiful Sunday morning when I believed on the name of Jesus as my
Savior, I have felt the presence (awareness) of God's Holy Spirit in my life.
I can feel the Spirit's presence in my soul.
Thus, it is
backwards and false doctrine to require anyone to forsake their sins to be
saved. Instead, the changed life that a Christian should exemplify is directly
the result of the Spirit of Christ living through us. Galatians 2:20-21, “I
am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law,
then Christ is dead in vain.” The false teaching of Lordship Salvation, or
the heretical teaching of repentance as “a change of lifestyle” in order to be
saved, greatly frustrates the grace of God. The truth is that we are saved
simply by freely taking the gift of eternal life through faith in Christ
Jesus, and then it is the indwelling Holy Spirit that produce the fruit of the
Spirit in our life. So if we don't see fruit in others, it is logical for us
to suspect that perhaps they are not saved (which is what James 2:18-23
means).
Albeit, since only
God can see a person's heart, only God truly knows if a person is truly saved
or not. The only way we can know is by hearing the direct testimony from their
mouth (or writings). After listening to Alice Cooper, there is no doubt in my
mind that he is not saved, because his faith is not in the Gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Instead, Alice views Christianity as an ongoing process of
bettering one's life, learning Biblical knowledge and following Christ. None
of those are the Gospel. END
I don't believe that everybody who professes to be a Christian is saved. Case
in point, freak hard rocker
Alice Cooper (born
Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948), who allegedly came to Christ in the
1980's, but chose not to go public about it until 2002. What a sad joke!
Cooper claims that his father was an evangelical preacher, but the truth is
that his father was an unsaved sinister minister in the Masonic Mormon
religion. The fact that he recognizes his Mormon father as a legitimate
minister speaks volumes.
