The rich, greedy, money loving pastor of Talisay City Cebu - Pastor Arnold Tangub Jul 13th, 2018   [viewed 1188 times]

Pastor Arnold Tangub Pastors the Bible Baptist Temple of Talisay City, Cebu. He became a member of what is known as the Independent Baptist Missions for Asians (IBMA). A non-profit organization whose strategy to raise support for local pastors is for the pastor to go to the United States of America, present their work in churhes there and raise monthly support or support for special projects such as building projects. While there is nothing wrong with receiving foreign support, the means by which it is obtained is what is in question here. Throughout the years Pastor Arnold Tangub went back and forth the United States of America. Everytime he came back he became a little bit richer and his church property expanded and grew.(But ironically the number of people attending has plateaued)  He built for himself a modest house.

Just like any other greedy, money loving preacher, Pastor Arnold Tangub uses deceipt to gain support. He sorts of stretches the truth, increases the number of "converts" or his missionary supported. In several instance we have backed checked that some missionaries are claimed to be supported by him and yet it is either he only gave them a one time gift or that their support is half or even less on what he claimed in the reports that he has given these local pastors. He "cries" in fronts of Americans, showing them that he has such a burden for souls when the truth of the matter is that he is only concern how fat his bank account will get. He has purchased several properties, vehicles and justifies these purchases as "for the use of the ministry." He has truly lived a comfortable life.  Because he wanted more and because his support from the U.S.A is somewhat stable he rebelled against the leaders of the IBMA and formed his own group with a contact in the U.S.A. Now He belongs to the Victory Baptist Group. His love of money can be seen how he treats his own churh staff, they are severely underpaid and overworked and yet he has so much support from the United States.

The Bible commands admonishes pastors in 1 Peter 5:2 that pastors should "Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind" the word "Filthy Lucre" is translated in other versions as "gane shamefully, not for money or out of greed"

Pastor Arnold Tangub also has two other money loving greedy brothers, Dennis Tangub and Joannis Tangub and there is an article in this site wherein the three of them are discussed together. However each of them has also been devoted a single post as we want to give maximum exposure to each of this individual who do not deserve to become a pastor.
