Official Statement from BZPAC on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk
Copyright © 2025 by the Baptist Zionist Public Affairs Committee™ BZPAC™ All Rights Reserved Worldwide www.bzpac.com
Sept 10, 2025 - With deep sorrow and profound grief, BZPAC acknowledges the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a courageous advocate for freedom, truth, and conservative values. We mourn his passing, yet we rejoice in the eternal hope we have in Jesus Christ. Charlie had a clear testimony of being a born-again believer, and we take comfort in the promise of God’s Word:
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” — 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
Charlie also had a special love for Israel! While we will surely miss Charlie’s strong voice for biblical values and constitutional freedoms, we are confident we will see him again one day in glory. Charlie Kirk had a special love for Israel and said his visit there changed his life. His life was not lived in vain, and his message will not be silenced.
The Real Crisis in America: A Spiritual Awakening is Needed
In this time of tragedy, there are many voices calling for “unity” and “coming together” as a nation. While unity may sound noble, we must not allow these words to become a smoke screen for the deeper, spiritual issues that plague our land. The root problem in America is not merely political division, but a spiritual crisis. What this country desperately needs is a genuine spiritual awakening that results in true revival—revival in our churches, our families, and in every aspect of our culture.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14
Without this return to God, no amount of political reform will bring lasting change. We must recognize that only through repentance and turning back to biblical principles can America be healed.
Spiritual Warfare and the Rise of Wickedness:
We are witnessing the fulfillment of Scripture regarding a great falling away from the faith. This is not just a cultural struggle, but a spiritual war.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” — Ephesians 6:12
Liberalism and leftist ideology have become a seedbed for hatred, violence, and intolerance—particularly toward those who stand for free speech and freedom of religion. It is no coincidence that acts of violence are increasingly directed against those who dare to speak biblical truth and uphold America’s founding values.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” — Isaiah 5:20
Charlie's death is a sobering reminder that those who defend truth are in the crosshairs of an agenda determined to silence them.
Failure to Protect Freedom of Speech:
Charlie Kirk’s assassination was not just a tragedy—it was a preventable failure at every level. Charlie was essentially a sitting duck, left vulnerable due to a lack of proper protection and preparation.
Where were the metal detectors? Where was the visible law enforcement presence? Why were there no officers stationed on nearby rooftops or within the venue itself? With someone of Charlie’s prominence and the threats he faced, even the involvement of federal authorities such as the FBI should have been considered.
The university, local police force, and even Charlie’s own security detail failed to provide the level of protection that was common sense for such a high-profile event. This negligence must not be ignored. Freedom of speech cannot flourish when those who speak boldly are left defenseless.
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” — Proverbs 14:34
This attack represents more than the loss of one man—it is an attack on the very freedoms America was founded upon.
God’s Sovereignty in the Midst of Tragedy
Even as we grieve and seek accountability, we are comforted by knowing that God is sovereign. What the enemy meant for evil, God can and will use for good.
“But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” — Genesis 50:20
Through Charlie’s martyrdom, his message has now reached more people than ever before. We are prayerful that many will turn to God, and that Charlie’s death will spark renewed courage in those who continue to fight for truth.

I have been thinking, What would Charlie want us to do.
I don’t think he would want us to mourn and drag our sorrow for his death.
I think he would want us to use this to strengthen our faith and commitment to win this battle against the evil we now face (that we have ignored, for decades, the buildup to what it is today).
Hey Baptists, Charlie never said he was “born again” whatever that means. He said he was a believer.
And what we all need to do is speak truth fearlessly. None of this mealy mouthed garbage tiptoeing around “microagressions,” etc. If you are at a job where you are keeping quiet for money, there are other jobs.
Well, here are what the red letters, Jesus’s words, say born again means, hope this helps you understand.
Jhn 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jhn 3:7 - Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
/
Full context
Jhn 3:1 - There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Jhn 3:2 - The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jhn 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jhn 3:4 - Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Jhn 3:5 - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Jhn 3:6 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Jhn 3:7 - Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Jhn 3:8 - The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Jhn 3:9 - Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jhn 3:10 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Jhn 3:11 - Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
Jhn 3:12 - If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Jhn 3:13 - And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Jhn 3:14 - And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Jhn 3:15 - That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

You might listen to my preaching and say, "Hey, that preacher never says, "Born Again." I almost always use the Pauline equivalent, "regenerated." "Born again" is very closely tied to Ezekiel ch 37 and the prophesied, future new birth of the nation, Israel, hence, Jesus Christ asked Nicodemus, "Art thou a master of Israel and knowest not these things?" Nicodemus should have recognized the imperative, "Ye (plural) must be born again" from the Old Testament Scriptures, and in relation to Israel. Our Lord's earthly ministry was all about "the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Sigh. Whatever.
The first requirement to see the kingdom of God is to be born from ABOVE... The devil and a few of his disciples, have already been judge to death.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
“Born from ABOVE.” More corrupted Minority Text (Alexandrian Text) confusion.
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Satan and his ‘fallen’ angels will NOT be born from above ... they are already condemned to death .... and before anyone else is judged to death, after this flesh journey allll will have the veil peeled back ... Book of Jude ... Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 ... Christ was also showing just how little of the ‘so called’ Old Testament was being taught by those preachers/priest line of work.
The expression, “born again” is correct and is found in the overwhelming number of manuscripts extant. The KJB is correct. Israel had a birth, and requires being born again. You properly used John 3:10 to support that the context for Nicodemus’ confusion involved his understanding of the Tanakh, the Old Testament. ANYTHING God does, in redemption or otherwise is from Heaven above. From above. But that’s not the point. As we read it in the KJB, it is perfect “born again.”
STRONGS NT 509: ἄνωθεν
ἄνωθεν (ἄνω), adverb;
a. from above, from a higher place: ἀπό ἄνωθεν (Winer’s Grammar, § 50, 7 N. 1), Matthew 27:51 (Tdf. omits ἀπό); Mark 15:38; ἐκ τῶν ἄνωθεν from the upper part, from the top, John 19:23. Often (also in Greek writings) used of things which come from heaven, or from God as dwelling in heaven: John 3:31; John 19:11; James 1:17; James 3:15, 17.
