Satan’s War Against Salvation. How A Person Is Saved. Explaining Free Will And Repent / Repentance In Salvation.
Satan has Already Been Defeated. Satan Has to Ask God’s Permission to Touch A Christian:
Beware Satan Is The Enemy:
1st Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Jesus Defeated Satan On The Cross
Revelation 12:12 “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
Satan is Defeated, he knows he Only has a Short time Left.
Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
Jesus Love!!! Jesus Prayed for Peter.
Jesus is God, He knows Everything, he knew what would happen to Peter. Jesus Not Only told Peter that he would Deny him. He Told him he would come through this Attack of the Devil…
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Jesus Always Gives us Hope. Especially in our Darkest Times. Jesus is Always with us.
Free Will:
Free Will means God Gives Everyone the Choice to Believe on Jesus or to Reject Jesus. No One Goes to Hell For Sin. Jesus Died For All of the Sins of the World.
https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2023/04/14/jesus-died-for-all-sin/
Adam and Eve were Given Only One Sin they could commit. Just One Thing they Could Not Do.
What happened in the Garden of Eden…
Adam and Eve Rejected God. They with their Free Will Ate of the Forbidden Fruit. Eve Believed Satan and Rejected what God told her.
Salvation is A Free Gift.
Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
See, God Gave Jesus (God in the Flesh.) to mankind to Die for the Sins of the World. Why? Because of God’s Amazing Mercy and Love.
Salvation is Simply Believing On Jesus. Salvation is Everlasting, it Never Ends.
Why are People Condemned to Hell / The Lake Of Fire? They are Condemned Only For Not Believing on Jesus. It Doesn’t Say they are Condemned For their Sins.
Beware of False Teachers that Teach: “The Sin of Unbelief.” This is NOT A Bible Teaching. They Teach This Lie because they are Pushing the Repent of Sin False Gospel.
Calvinist / Other Denominations Deny Free Will. Some False Teachers Claim that Free Will means a Person Can Give Back their Salvation.
“Here God, I want to Go to Hell, I am Giving Back your Salvation.” Yes this is What they Literally teach.

There Is No Ladder, Staircase, Steps to Salvation:
If you type Salvation into a Search Engine you will find Satan’s False Plans of Salvation illustrated in pictures. In False Gospel Tracts. In False Sermons. This is All Satan’s Counterfeit Christianity.
A Typical False illustration will have a Staircase with labeled Steps.
On their unbiblical Staircase they will have Steps:
Repent of Sin (Which is also Called: Forsake Sin, Turn From Sin, Make Jesus the Lord of Your Life, Give Your Life to Jesus, etc…)
https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/14/beware-of-the-repent-of-sin-false-gospel/
Keep the Law (Also said as, Remain Faithful, Submit your Life to Christ, Be Obedient to God. They have numerous terms they use to Add Works to Salvation.)
These People are Wicked. On one hand they Deny they believe you must Keep All of the Law. You cannot pick and choose between what Laws you Keep. They Pick Sins that will send you to Hell. They actually Teach if you are “Living in Sin.” You will Go to Hell.
“Living in Sin?” What does that even mean? Everyone, is a Sinner and Sins multiple times Daily. So Honestly Everyone is Living in Sin.
1st John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Yes, They Lie. They Falsely claim that they DO NOT SIN. Their False Preachers / Pastors Preach that a Christian CANNOT SIN. That they No Longer Sin… You can find them Preaching this all over YouTube with an Internet Search.
Willful Sin Is A False Teaching.
They sometimes add: “It is Impossible for A Christian to Sin Willfully.” That is their Escape Clause. They are Two Faced Liars. “We Do Not Sin.” “OK We Sin. But we Do Not Sin Willfully” What Garbage, Double Talk.
I have spoken directly to Numerous of them. They told me: “I have Not Sinned Since I was Saved.” “I have Not Committed a Willful Sin.” They ARE EVIL LIARS.
https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/22/willful-sin-explaining-hebrews-chapter-10/
These Liars are Fruit Inspectors.
If they don’t see your Good Works than according to them you have No Evidence of Salvation, So you are Lost.
They Twist James Chapter 2 which is Not a Salvation Chapter and they add Works to Salvation.
They Falsely Claim if you are Not Living for Jesus than you Are Lost. They Teach the False Gospel Repent of Sin to Be Saved. They are Lordship Salvationist.
They Teach You have to Make Jesus the Lord of Your Life. “If Jesus is Not Lord of All than he is Not Lord At All,” Is one of their Ridiculous False Teachings.
Baptism Is Not Required to Be Saved.
They Falsely Add Water Baptism to Salvation. You will Not Find One Person who is Saved being Told to Get Baptized as part of Salvation. Baptism Happens After a Person is Saved. It is a picture of Salvation.
Going under the Water is a symbol of Jesus Death and Burial. Coming up out of the Water is a Picture of Jesus Resurrection from the Dead.

Salvation in the Bible:
Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
Notice the Question: “What Must I Do To Be Saved?”
Understand the Answer: “Believe ON The Lord Jesus Christ, and thou Shalt Be SAVED!!!”
That is It!!!
THERE IS NOT ONE OTHER REQUIREMENT!!!
Paul Did Not Say: You Have To Repent OF YOUR SINS. You Have To Be Baptized, You Have to Agree to Keep the Whole Law, You have to Be Willing to Forsake Sin to Be Saved.
Paul Added Nothing to Salvation. Beware of Churches, People who ADD Works to Salvation.
Salvation = BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
THAT IS IT. ANYTHING ELSE ADDED IS WORKS. ADD ANYTHING ELSE TO IT AND YOU WILL GO TO HELL / THE LAKE OF FIRE, FOR ETERNITY.
The Bible is 100% Clear SALVATION Happens Immediately when a Person has Believed On The Lord Jesus Christ.
Believed What?
Believed the Gospel. Salvation happens as soon as a Person has Believed the Gospel Only for their Salvation:
Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
The Gospel:
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Paul and Silas were in Jail because they were Preaching the Gospel.
There is No Doubt that the Jailer had heard the Gospel Preached. Paul Preached the Gospel to Everyone he met.
When Paul told the Roman Jailer to Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ to Be Saved he didn’t Ask any Questions. Because He Knew the Gospel Message that Paul Preached. He knew Why Paul was in Jail.
The Jailer Believed the Gospel and Was Immediately Saved.
Paul was in and out of Jail for Preaching the Gospel.
Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
1st Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
It Does Not Get any more clear than: “Christ sent me NOT TO BAPTIZE,” Baptism IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE SAVED!!!.
Peter’s Gospel Message:
Peter Added Nothing to the Gospel. After both Jews and Gentiles were Saved then they were Baptized. Always in the Bible a Person is Saved then afterwards they are Baptized. They All immediately received the Holy Ghost. Read for yourselves below:
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Paul’s Gospel Ministry:
Paul Preached The Gospel Everywhere he went. He Preached On The Cross of Jesus. Jesus Crucifixion. The Passion of Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
1st Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Paul Preached The Gospel Only for Salvation. He Fought To Defend The Gospel Only For Salvation.
Paul had to Stand Against False Teachers who were adding Works (circumcision) to Salvation.
Paul Called out these False Teachers and Rejected Adding Anything to Salvation. See Below.
Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. 4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them. 5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
It is Very Difficult to Find the Gospel Only Preached in Churches. 99% of All Churches Teach Works as Part of Salvation. Jesus Warned us About this:
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
“…and few there be that find it.” FEW is a VERY SMALL NUMBER.
Jesus is Making the POINT Almost No One will Go to Heaven Compared to Everyone that has Ever Lived.
Think of Disasters, Military Massacres… Read News stories about them. You will find: “There were a Few Survivors, 3 People were found Alive, Thousands are Known Dead.”
Satan is the god of the Earth:
2nd Corinthians 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Satan is Fighting against The Gospel Being Heard and Believed By the Lost. The Bible is Clear about this.
2nd Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Blinded Minds…
I encounter this Numerous Times Daily. Lost People Refuse to Hear the Gospel. They Mock the Gospel / Christians.
Counterfeit Christians Sharing their False Works Based Gospel, they are Blinded. They Refuse to Hear the Truth. Even When I Prove to them they Are Not Teaching what the Bible Says. That they are Twisting the Scriptures and Taking Verses out of Context.
They Don’t Care… Their Reply to me After I Exposed them. “Well, I Don’t Care!!! This is What I was Taught in Church by my Pastor. I just Don’t know how to Defend what I was Taught. Just Because I Don’t know the Bible as Good as you Do Doesn’t mean you are Right and I am Wrong.” All of this After I proved that they were Wrong with the Bible. They are Blinded and Refuse to Believe the Truth. They Reject What the Bible Says.
It is a WASTE OF TIME trying to talk to anyone that Refuses to Listen to the Gospel.
It is impossible to Force anyone to Believe The Gospel.
Just Sharing the Gospel recently, (This happens to me a lot.) I was Falsely Accused of Beating People over the Head with the Bible. Of being Holier-Then-Thou. A Counterfeit Christian Falsely Accused me.
In Truth I Don’t Waste my time with People who Don’t Want to Hear the Gospel.
Counterfeit Christians Get Very Nasty:
They are full of False Accusations: You are Shoving the Bible Down People’s Throats! “Don’t Shove the Bible Down my Throat!!!” Beating People with the Bible are Frequent Accusations. The Bible Obviously Offends them. That is Clear. They Hate The Bible, God’s Word. That is why the Accuse Christians of Beating People over the Head with the Bible. Being Holy Rollers, Jesus Freaks, etc… They Hate God, Jesus, Hearing God’s Word.
These People Can Not Hide their Hatred. They, Including So Called Christians Get Mad Instantly. They Start to Swear. Yes I have received Numerous of replies online that have included swear Words. “F-OFF.” “F-U” Every Swear Word you can Think of they have used against me. I have Gotten a lot of Death Threats, many from Counterfeit Christians.
I have been Physically attacked several times When Sharing the Gospel Face to Face. I have been hit, threatened with knives for Asking People if they had a minute to hear the Gospel.
They are Satanic.
I think many are Possessed with Devils. The Bible talks about people Possessed with Devils. This is Still happening.
What was my Crime? I Exposed a False Gospel being Shared. I said it was a Works Based Salvation, and I included a Link to one of my Blog Posts talking about this False Gospel.
Please Do Not Let “Christians” Shut you up.
They will Gang Up on you in Person and online. They will Say Stop Arguing Christians are All Suppose to Get along and not Argue with Each Other.
As Soon as you hear this or something similar. You need to Immediately Reply. None of You are Christians. You are Pushing a False Gospel of Works.
What happens everyday online, thousand of times a day, is You will be Exposing a False Gospel being Shared and many people will be in the conversion. Sometime more people will agree with you than those who are Fighting Against you.
The People Fighting Against you want to make you Shut Up Quickly. They are Satan’s Minions. Satan doesn’t want the Truth to be Told.
Satan Controls the Airwaves, the Internet:
The people in Media, who run All Communications on the Earth are Not Christians. They are Minions of Satan. Lost People Serving Satan.
You might find these words Harsh… Jesus Said if you are Not Saved you are a Child of Satan.
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
It is a Spiritual Battle.
Satan is Blinding People’s Minds So they will Not Hear / Believe the Gospel.
John 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33 This he said, signifying what death he should die. 34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. 37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
