Pentecostal/Charismatic evangelist Kent Hovind is a young-earth
creationist and runs a web ministry that he founded in the 1980's
called Creation Science Evangelism (http://www.drdino.com/index.php).

Hovind's website lacks a Doctrinal statement, but his salvation
testimony on the website below do validate that Hovind is not a
Spiritual Terrorist and is a brother in the Lord (if he means what he
says).

According to Hovind this is how one becomes saved.
http://www.chick.com/information/authors/hovind.asp#testimony

Anyone can be saved, here's how:

1. Realize you are a sinner (Romans 3:23)
2. Recognize that Jesus died for your sins (Romans 6:23)
3. Repent, ask Him to forgive you and save you right now (Romans
10:13)

Looking at the scriptures, what Hovind says is Biblically accurate. So
Hovind gives no indication (at least on his website and other
writings) that he teaches another gospel message or fulfills the
Spiritual Terrorist profile (according to Jude, 2 Peter and other
passages).

Profile of a Terrorist

1. Inside the Christian Church- Jude 1:4, Jude 1:12, 2 Pet 2:1-2, 2
Pet 2:13
2. Lacking the Holy Spirit-Jude 1:19
3. Teaching another Gospel Message- Gal 1:8, 2 Pet 2:1, Jude 1:4, 2
Pet 2:12,
4. Lacking the fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5:22ff)-Mt 7:16,20, Jude
1:12, 2 Pet 2:14,
5. All about Self Promotion-Jude 1:12,Jude 1:16,Jude 1:18,
6. Attack all those that disagree with them-Jude 1:10
7. The Terrorists will spend eternity in Hell/The Lake of Fire-Jude
1:13, 2 Pet 2:3,2 Pet 2:9,2 Pet 2:15, 2 Pet 2:17

However Kent Hovind seems to have some issues with living above
reproach (1 Tim 3) and the doctrine of Sanctification (separation from
sin).

1 Tim 3
1Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an
overseer,[a] he desires a noble task. 2Now the overseer must be above
reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled,
respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not given to drunkenness, not
violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4He must
manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with
proper respect. 5(If anyone does not know how to manage his own
family, how can he take care of God's church?) 6He must not be a
recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same
judgment as the devil. 7He must also have a good reputation with
outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's
trap.

Some examples of Hovind's problems are below.

From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind#Legal_problems

In 2002, he was charged with one count of felony assault, one count of
misdemeanor battery, and one count of burglary with
assault/battery.[24] In December 2002, the charges were dropped by the
alleged victim, Hovind's secretary.[20]

Property taxes and zoning ordinance

Hovind was charged on September 13, 2002, for failure to observe
county zoning regulations with respect to Dinosaur Adventure Land.[20]
Despite arguments that the owners did not need a permit due to the
nature of the building,[25] the park has been found in violation of
local regulations. On June 5, 2006, Hovind pled nolo contendere as
charged to three counts: constructing a building without a permit,
refusing to sign a citation (Case # 2001 MM 023489 A)[26] and
violating the county building code (Case # 2002 MM 026670 A)[27].
Hovind was ordered to pay $225.00 per count. The plea brought to an
end the 5-year criminal (misdemeanor) court battle over a $50.00
building permit. The 4-year civil court battle with the county remains
open (Case # 2002 CA 000149)[28]. Hovind estimates he spent $40,000 in
legal expenses on this case. On June 19, 2006, the delinquent
2003-2005 property taxes/penalties for Dinosaur Adventure Land were
paid in an amount of $10,402.64 [6].

Kent Hovind faces a 58-count federal indictment

On July 11, 2006, Hovind was charged in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Florida in Pensacola with twelve
counts of willful failure to collect, account for, and pay over
Federal income taxes and FICA taxes under 26 U.S.C. § 7202, forty-five
counts of knowingly structuring transactions in Federally-insured
financial institutions to evade the reporting requirements of 31
U.S.C. § 5313(a), in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 5324, 18 U.S.C. § 2 and
31 C.F.R. sec. 103.11, and one count of corruptly endeavoring to
obstruct and impede the administration of the internal revenue laws
under 26 U.S.C. § 7212.[37] [38] Twelve of the charges are for failing
to pay employee-related taxes, totaling $473,818, and 45 of the
charges are for evading reporting requirements by making multiple cash
withdrawals just under the $10,000 reporting requirement (smurfing).
The withdrawals, totaling $430,500, were placed in 2001 and 2002.[38]

Federal civil tax matters, bankruptcy, and renouncing citizenship

Hovind does not run his various educational and religious activities
through a U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) organization.
Instead, the organizational structure he uses apparently is "based on
various questionable trust documents purchased from ... a known
promoter of tax avoidance schemes."[8] The U.S. Tax Court has
concluded that Hovind used these trust documents as well as other
fraudulent means to conceal the ownership and control of his
activities and properties.[8]

Hovind was originally reported to the IRS by Pensacola Christian
College senior vice president Rebekah Horton in the mid 1990s, after
she learned of Hovind's anti-tax stand. "'We know the Scriptures do
not promote (tax evasion),'" Horton said in testimony against Hovind
during his 2006 trial, "'It's against Scripture teaching'.... Horton
believed it was the college's duty to report the misleading doctrine.
'I didn't want to see innocent people get led astray,' she said.
Pensacola Christian College then decided its students no longer were
permitted to work with Creation Science Evangelism".[29]

The Hovind Bankruptcy Decision

In 1996 Hovind unsuccessfully filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying
federal income taxes. Hovind was found to have lied about his
possessions and income[30]. He claimed that as a minister of God
everything he owns belonged to God and he is not subject to paying
taxes to the United States on the money he received for doing God's
work (citing US tax code §508(c)(1)(a)) [31]. The court ordered him to
pay the money and upheld the IRS determination that Hovind's claim
"was filed in bad faith for the sole purpose of avoiding payment of
federal income taxes." In the ruling, the judge called Hovind's
arguments "patently absurd." The judge also noted that "the IRS has no
record of the debtor ever having filed a federal income tax return,"
although this was not the court's reason for denying the bankruptcy
claim.

I could go on, but I believe I have made my point.

If Hovind wants a testimony he needs to live above reproach, not be
violent, and have a good reputation with outsiders (beyond his fan
base).

But so far it looks like Hovind does not live this kind of life, so
who can take him seriously? Hovind does not live above reproach and
does not have a ministry with the unbelieving world.

It's no wonder that the Atheists, Agnostics and others do not take
this minister seriously.

A messenger of the gospel is to live above reproach, they are to pay
their taxes, they are to manage their family, and avoid any kind of
criminal activities.

It's true that Christians are human, and it's true that God can use
Kent Hovind, but in the meantime I won't take him seriously.

Hopefully he will clean up his act, and start learning how to read the
Bible for all its worth. The Bible is very clear on paying taxes, and
being submissive to the governing authorities. Why this went right
beyond him, is beyond me. But sin is sin, and hopefully Hovind will
repent of his wickedness soon.
