John “JC” Dirks

Excited to have all of the EOs who have been debating me here on X show up to defend the baptism charges Tuesday 5/19 at 9:30pm cst. Let it be known that I genuinely want to hear the reasoning behind this and how it is not the least bit troubling to you. I'm Open to being shown why I am wrong.

@KingMic92357513 I hope you will pull up on Tuesday!

@johncdirks Fair enough.

@Ukrwarviewing @Fearless__Truth It’s not precise enough for this question.

@johncdirks @Fearless__Truth You can Google the word ensure

Ruslan, if this is not the one true church can you direct me to which church i should be going to that you can ensure me will give me the proper doctrine for all things Christianity?

@KingMic92357513 I already know the answer as to why it’s required or suggested or whatever. I have deeper questions about those reasons. And I’m not going to grill those guys on their reasoning.

No, you don't ask them about their systems. You ask them about their website and why they say there's a requirement or whatever it is. You asked them about that. You asked some specific questions about the one thing that's concerning regarding their website. And since you don't make money, I do sincerely apologize for that.

@KingMic92357513 Yea I don’t make money dude. I’m not going to call these poor priests who probably don’t even know about what’s happening on X to ask them tough questions about their systems. That would be mean. That’s why I’m letting EOs come up and defend it if they choose to.

Have you or have you not talked to a priest at any of these parishes? Yes or no. If the answer is no, then you're not being a good faith actor in any of this. You know it. I know it. Anyone who sees us comment knows it. So if you're not actually making any sort of money on any of this whether it be through tips, or anything on streams, then sure, I will take back my grifter comment and I apologize. But if you're allow for any sort of tips or any sort of donations for your streams, and you do have some form of monetization allowed for, then yes grifter still fits. You say it's not satisfactory, but I don't believe that's actually the case. Go talk to these priests and stop being a bad faith actor.

@DanteT1NG @C2Antiquity @RuslanKD @FU4U2C Great, you have opted to duck out. Peace.

@johncdirks @C2Antiquity @RuslanKD @FU4U2C It's clearly working for me though, since you can't answer my question without looking like an idiot.

Guy that runs a rap church for $$$

@Acts17David @HHS3239 @MikeWingerii Thank you this clears it up 😂

@HHS3239 @johncdirks @MikeWingerii When it comes to Mike Winger . . .

Question from the new guy on the scene… Do @MikeWingerii and @Acts17David actually hate each other?! Or is it all a joke?

This is not Orthodoxy. This is Ortho-bro. I will hold to that distinction because I know you are not all this way.

These guys…geez. Whataboutism much?!

@Aleksandar69141 @JPuncut @Alex_Ortodoxie @RuslanKD @needGod_net I plan to read this before the stream.

@johncdirks @JPuncut @Alex_Ortodoxie @RuslanKD @needGod_net Very good explanation: energeticprocession.wordpress.com/2026/05/16/on-…

Orthodoxy does not withhold baptism from people who can’t meet a suggested donation. You’d know that if you just asked a priest or called these places. Despite numerous corrections, @RuslanKD, @needGod_net and others continue lying to people.

I’m not monetized on any platform. I have heard lots of the same things like “Suggested donation” yet I have documents that say “required”. I have heard “nobody pays it” yet I have documents that say people have paid it. And many others. I have not heard anything satisfactory that explains how someone can get a baptism completely free without delay, deterrence, or social pressure. Other than “trust me”. I’m genuinely curious to know if anyone can. And if they admit someone COULD be deterred or delayed, would they then admit that it’s enough to amend the websites.

Who said that's how HE thinks? Idk what he thinks. But 100% of us (that I have seen) who has been following and seeing this, and your feed, KNOW you are lying because we KNOW you have been answered and corrected on this MULTIPLE times. You're doing this for the views so you can monetize it. Which.. is probably the definition of Grifting.

@ByJimbob No I’m debating the whole thing from inside your paradigm. Pretend I’m EO. All my concerns still hold.

@johncdirks Can you see that To claim improper procedure, or to claim anything about salvation is an assumption of a True Church?

@KingMic92357513 If that’s how he feels about it then why would I join his?

@johncdirks And punch down to an ankle biting liar? 😂

@ByJimbob I love watching you turn this into a one true church debate. So do you concede the previous points?

@johncdirks The spreaders? Who were the “spreaders” of the Gospel in the 4th century and where could you find them?

@KingMic92357513 Cleave can hop onto mine

@johncdirks Hope onto cleaves stream of you can. youtube.com/live/paIWu8dZu…

@ByJimbob From the original spreaders of the Gospel.

@johncdirks That’s question begging. How did they come to know the gospel?

@Aleksandar69141 @JPuncut @Alex_Ortodoxie @RuslanKD @needGod_net Really? I have documents saying that if you want to be a tithing member you must give 10% gross? Are these wrong? Come up on stream and explain it to me

@johncdirks @JPuncut @Alex_Ortodoxie @RuslanKD @needGod_net In the Orthodox Church, we don’t tithe. Everyone gives as much as they want. Some people don’t give a dollar.

@ByJimbob I can be told the gospel by anyone who knows it.

@johncdirks You can be told about scripture by anyone? How about a Mormon? Or a Satan?

@realbenbriggs Probably Thursday or next week. Gotta get it set up. Stay tuned and I’ll make an announcement

@johncdirks When we doing sola scriptura?

@ByJimbob It’s not required that I own one. Like a baptism is required. I can read scripture anywhere or be told by anyone.

@johncdirks How did you know what salvation was without a Bible?

@ByJimbob @CertainSpeaks Nothing is free. The question is to whom is it free

@CertainSpeaks @johncdirks Bibles aren’t free. You just don’t pay for them.
