False Teacher

Todd White

Sinless perfectionism preacher who denies the need for daily repentance

Biography

Todd White is a charismatic street preacher and founder of Lifestyle Christianity in Texas. While he often speaks of God's love, his theology promotes a dangerous sinless perfectionism that confuses our positional righteousness in Christ with our actual condition on earth. He teaches that believers no longer have a sin nature and should not identify as sinners, contradicting the apostle John's clear teaching that anyone who claims to be without sin deceives themselves.

Biblical Assessment

Every preacher is tested against our 5-point biblical framework. Here's how Todd White measures up:

Title & Authority

VERDICT: FAIL

Self-appointed evangelist with no formal theological training or church accountability. Built personal ministry around personality-driven street preaching and social media presence.

Scripture:

2 Timothy 2:15, Titus 1:9, 1 Timothy 3:6

Gospel Message

VERDICT: FAIL

Teaches sinless perfectionism — that believers have no sin nature and should not repent for sins. This contradicts 1 John 1:8-10 and removes the daily need for grace. Confuses justification (declared righteous) with sanctification (being made righteous).

Scripture:

1 John 1:8-10, Romans 7:14-25, Philippians 3:12-14

Fruit & Lifestyle

VERDICT: FAIL

His teaching produces pride rather than humility. Followers are taught they don't need to repent, fostering spiritual blindness rather than the brokenness that leads to genuine growth in Christ.

Scripture:

Matthew 5:3-4, James 4:6-10, Psalm 51:17

Revelation vs. Scripture

VERDICT: FAIL

Claims direct revelation about believers' 'true identity' that contradicts the plain teaching of Scripture. Elevates personal experience and 'identity revelation' above the written Word.

Scripture:

2 Timothy 3:16-17, Isaiah 8:20, Galatians 1:8

Finances & Transparency

VERDICT: CONCERN

Lifestyle Christianity operates as a personality-driven ministry with limited financial transparency. Sells courses and materials promoting his perfectionist theology.

Scripture:

2 Corinthians 2:17, 1 Timothy 6:5, 2 Peter 2:3
