John MacArthur, Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, Tim Tebow’s Christianity Explained

Exploring John MacArthur, Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, and Tim Tebow’s Christianity.

God Warns us over and over again in the Bible about False Teachers.

Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Understand during Jesus entire Ministry False Teachers arose that Twisted what he said. Jesus spoke about this. He called them Ravenous Wolves. He also foretold how False Teachers were going to Corrupt the True Church. He said it would be so Bad that even the most Faithful Believers would be at Risk of Believing their False Doctrines. This is Counterfeit Christianity.

In this passage in Acts Paul is echoing Jesus. He foretells that there will be False Teachers among the True Believers.

He explains that these False Teachers are all about: Silver, Gold, Apparel. You can easily identify False Teachers because they are after Earthly Riches Wealth. That includes every Mega Church. All the Televangelists.

A Christian Pastor, Evangelist, etc…, is not suppose to be Wealthy. All Christians are suppose to be Christlike. Jesus did not own anything. He lived day to day. The point is Jesus was not Wealthy he did not seek to Be Wealthy. Jesus did not promise Wealth on this Earth to Christians. On the Contrary Jesus said:

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Joel Osteen, all the Prosperity Preachers are exposed by what Jesus said. They Preach a False Prosperity Gospel. All the Other Big time TV Pastors are Making Millions off the name of Christianity. This Exposes that they are Frauds, Liars, False Teachers.

Why is this Blog about John MacArthur, Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, and Tim Tebow? Why these three together? They are all making Millions of dollars off of Christianity. They all promote the Same False Gospel. They are very much linked together. They work in concert to push Lordship Salvation. The False Gospel that Teaches you have to Repent of Your Sins to be Saved.

They all claim that Repent of Sin is Required to be Saved. They Falsely Claim Repent of Sin is Not Adding Works to Salvation.

Repent of Sin is Works. Repent of Sin, Turn from Sin, Give Your Life to Jesus Christ, Commit your Life to Jesus Christ, Submit your Life to Jesus Christ, Surrender Your Life To Jesus Christ, Accept Jesus into your Heart, Make Jesus the Lord of Your Life, Give up control of your Life, Yield Your Life to Jesus Christ, etc…, All of these are False Statements they, All Lordship / Repent of Sin Salvationist use to push Repent of Sin. All these sayings are what the Gospel is they Falsely Claim.

All of the Above is part of Calvinism. These False Teachers Falsely Claim that God is in Control of Everything. That is Simply not True. When Jesus made the Heavens and the Earth he put Adam in Charge of the Earth (When Satan, caused Adam to Sin he became the god of this World). He Gave mankind Free Will. All of our Decisions are our own. God does not Control what we do, what we think, what we Believe. Repent of Sin / Lordship Salvationist Believe that God is in Control that Goes Against Free Will. God is in Control means that God is responsible for all the Evil that is happening on the Earth. They Believe this.

Repent of Sin is Works because it requires you to agree to Stop Sinning before you can be Saved. It also requires you to Repent of Every Sin Past and Present that you have committed. Hence the term Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is a daily Process that you have to do or you will go to Hell. If you miss one Sin you Committed than you Go to Hell.

There is no Eternal Life, Eternal Security in the Repent of Sin False Gospel. Because in this False Religion you are always at Risk of Going to Hell.

Salvation is a One Time Event. Salvation happens when a person Realizes they are a Lost Sinner who deserves to Go to Hell. That Person is immediately and Forever Saved as soon as they Have Believed the Gospel Only.

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.”

Everyone who Believes the Gospel only for Salvation is immediately Saved. “THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH..”

This is Absolutely CLEAR. The only Requirement for Salvation is to Believe the Gospel. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Repent of Sin is not Part of the Gospel. Believing The Gospel is the only Way to Heaven.

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:

I Believe if you Believe the Gospel Only for Salvation you will Pray to Jesus and Confess that Fact to Him. This Confession is not Before men it is Between You and Jesus.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Confess with thy mouth… Confession is made unto Salvation… People distort this and Say to Be Saved you have to make a public Confession of your Faith in front of a Church. Nothing in this passage says that. This passage is a Conversation between a person and Jesus.

People will also say what about People who are Mute, People who cannot speak. People who cannot speak they can still Pray to Jesus. Mute People do use their mouth to form words (When they want to.) even though the words do not come out. When people are Sincerely Praying their lips move. I Pray out-loud often when I pray.

Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” To Call on Jesus you do not have to utter a Word.”

Luke 16:15 “And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”

A Person Has To Believe on Jesus, Believe the Gospel, with their Heart to be Saved. Because God knows All of our Hearts. God Knows Everything we Think. He Knows Everything we Believe. So Anyone Who Believes on Jesus with their Heart will be Saved. If a person cannot Speak they can Still Pray to Jesus (Confess) and Ask to Be Saved, Accept Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

I must point out that the False Statement “Accept Jesus into Your Heart.” Is not the Same thing as: “With the Heart man believeth unto righteousness…”

Those are two completely different statements. To Be Saved a person has to Believe with their Heart. That means this Belief is not just Head Knowledge.

Possibly 100% of everyone in the USA knows that Christians Believe that Jesus Died for the Sins of the World. Knowing something, Head Knowledge, is not the Same thing as Believing something with the Heart. Heart Belief is not a Person who is on the Fence and Half-Way Believes. For example there are Millions upon Millions of People that will say and Believe: “Maybe Jesus did Die for my Sins. So I will Accept him as my Savior…” If you Maybe Believe in Jesus you will Go to Hell. That is not Salvation that is not Believing with your Heart. This type of Belief is like the People who are part of COEXIST. They Believe all Roads lead to Heaven. A Muslim, A Catholic, A Christian, A Mormon etc…, will all Go to Heaven because in this False Ideology No One who is part of a Religion will Go to Hell.

John MacArthur Exposed:

John MacArthur Denies Christ’s Deity By Saying That Jesus’ Blood Was Not God’s Blood.

John MacArthur denies that Jesus as a man had God’s blood flowing in His veins. But, my friend, if you believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, then you can only conclude that God’s literal blood flowed in Jesus’ veins.

John MacArthur is a Evil False Teacher that Denies that Jesus Blood was Holy. He in Fact Denies that Jesus is God. He in books and in Sermons has said that Jesus Blood was licked up by Dogs and was worthless. He does not Preach the Truth of the Bible.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

1st Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Ray Comfort Exposed:

Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron are Close Friends. They Teach the Damnable Heresy of LORDSHIP SALVATION. Like all Lordship Salvationists, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron Teach that Salvation by Faith ALONE in Jesus Christ IS NOT Enough to Save Someone. That is a False Gospel. According to Ray Comfort, A Person MUST Also Cease from their Sinful Lifestyle and Give Up Worldly Living to be Saved.

By This Definition Neither Ray Comfort Nor Kirk Cameron Could be Saved. They are Both Multi-Millionaires that Live Extremely Worldly Lives. What they do is Hidden from the Public Mostly but they Live very Outrageous Lives Living in Expensive Luxury.

Thus, eternal life ceases to be a gift in Ray Comfort’s gospel, which has now been turned into a reward. It is much more than a matter of mere semantics. The Bible teaches one Gospel, not two.

Ray Comfort is an extremely popular Evangelist, with his ministries THE WAY OF THE MASTER and LIVING WATERS. Unfortunately, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron teach the heresy of Lordship Salvation…

“Merely being sorry for your sins, or confessing them to God won’t help you. You must turn from sin (repent).”

SOURCE: LIVING WATERS ministry, SAVE YOURSELF SOME PAIN

Heresy! This is a backwards gospel, where a sinner must reform as a prerequisite to qualify for salvation. In this false gospel, the burden of changing is placed upon the sinner instead of upon the Lord. It is indeed salvation by self-righteous works. The gospel is a big deal and worth fighting over. Ray Comfort leads sinners to believe that God will not save them unless they are willing to stop sinning; but the Bible disagrees with Mr. Comfort.

In Biblical salvation, you come to Christ by faith to be forgiven of your sins, and then God works on your heart to change as you grow in the milk of the Word (1st Peter 2:2). God chastises His children who continue in sin (Hebrews 12:6-8), but all believers sin (Romans 7:14-25). Ray Comfort says that lustful and thieving believers never got saved (as seen in the following quote).

On page 1197 of THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, Ray Comfort comments on Matthew 7:22-23…

“These are perhaps the most frightening verses in the Bible. Vast multitudes of professing Christians fit into the category spoken of here. They call Jesus ‘Lord,’ but they practice lawlessness. They profess faith in Jesus, but have no regard for the divine law. They tell ‘fibs’ or ‘white’ lies, take things that belong to others, have a roaming eye for the opposite sex, etc. They are liars, thieves, and adulterers at heart, who will be cast from the gates of heaven into the jaws of hell.”

SOURCE: THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, by Ray Comfort, pg. 1197; 2003, Bridge-Logos Publishers, Orlando, Florida

That is self-righteousness! Clearly, Ray Comfort believes that personal effort, (Works), To Depart from Sin is necessary to be saved by Jesus. This is Self-Righteousness. Not Salvation which is received freely by Faith in Jesus Christ.

Revelation 22:17 “Let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

Romans 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

This passage in Romans is Clear that we are not Justified by our Works. We are Saved by our Belief in Jesus Blood Atonement Only. To Him that Worketh NOT! That is Emphatic! NOT! NO WORKS ARE REQUIRED FOR SALVATION. 

A Person cannot be Saved by Good Works. Our Behavior has nothing to do with our Salvation. Nothing we can do could ever be Good enough to get us into Heaven. Jesus Died and Paid our Entire Sin Debt so No Amount of Sinning can Keep us out of Heaven.

One’s faith in Jesus Christ makes that Person Righteous in the eyes of God. The Bible calls this Imputed Righteousness. Adding even the slightest Work of Self-Righteousness to the Gospel corrupts it into a False Way, a False plan, a road to Eternal Damnation in Hell / The Lake of Fire.

Ray Comfort and his sidekick, Kirk Cameron, are doctrinally corrupted and confused; likely because they are followers of heretic John MacArthur (evidenced by Kirk Cameron promoting the John MacArthur Study Bible on his website). They are WRONG to teach that Repentance unto Salvation means Ceasing From Sin. They are also wrong to teach that Repentance is a completely separate act from Believing upon the Lord Jesus Christ to be Saved. These are two Deadly Heresies concerning Salvation. THE TRUTH is that you Simply Turn to The Lord Jesus Christ by Faith to be Forgiven of ALL Your Sins. You are Saved Immediately, Completely and Eternally. It’s that simple. We are the SINNER and Jesus is the SAVIOR!

Ray Comfort Corrupts Matthew 7:22-23

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


Again, on page 1197 of THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, Ray Comfort comments on Matthew 7:22-23…

“These are perhaps the most frightening verses in the Bible. Vast multitudes of professing Christians fit into the category spoken of here. They call Jesus ‘Lord,’ but they practice lawlessness. They profess faith in Jesus, but have no regard for the divine law. They tell ‘fibs’ or ‘white’ lies, take things that belong to others, have a roaming eye for the opposite sex, etc. They are liars, thieves, and adulterers at heart, who will be cast from the gates of heaven into the jaws of hell.”

SOURCE: THE EVIDENCE BIBLE, by Ray Comfort, pg. 1197; 2003, Bridge-Logos Publishers, Orlando, Florida

Ray Comfort Clearly Believes that a Person has to Keep the Law to Be Saved.

Ray Comfort is teaching Works Salvation! According to what we just read by Ray Comfort, every Believer who is still living in Deliberate Sin Will Not Be Allowed into Heaven. Comfort is teaching that you cannot get to Heaven unless you Lived a Perfect Sinless Life. That is Impossible and that Is Why Jesus took our Place.

The correct interpretation of Matthew 7:22-23 must include verse 21…

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”

What is “the will of the Father”? The answer is found in John 6:40…

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

The group in Matthew 7:21-23 were unsaved because they refused to do God’s Will Concerning Salvation. They were Self-Righteous Religious people.

Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”

It wasn’t because of their Sinful Lives in Matthew 7:22-23 that God Rejected them. It was because they were Counterfeit Christians Like Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, John MacArthur, Tim Tebow and ALL Repent of Your Sins lordship Salvationist. Everyone Trusting a False Gospel.

The reason why the Religious people in Matthew 7:21-23 Were NOT Allowed into Heaven was because they had failed to do the Will of God the Father; By Believing on Jesus Christ, the Son of God (John 6:40). They Died in their Sins, in Their Own Self-Righteousness (Ephesians 2:8-9). They Perverting the Gift of God into a Lie.

Ray Comfort is a Lost False Teacher. 

The whole reason why Jesus came into this world was to SAVE SINNERS

Kirk Cameron Exposed:

Kirk Cameron is a Poster Boy for Hollywood. He tries to make it look like Hollywood has a Good side to it; but there’s Nothing Good about Hollywood. If Hypocrite Kirk Cameron the Imposter that he is truly Preached Against The Wickedness of Hollywood, he wouldn’t be welcomed there anymore. Hollywood is a Whore-Mongering, Dung Heap of Nudity, Sex, Free Love. Sex with anyone you want to. Husband and Wife Exchanges. Orgies with Men having Sex with Men and Women having Sex with Women and everyone having Sex with Each other. Hollywood pushes the LGBQTIA+ Agenda. Hollywood is Homosexual to the Core! 

Kirk Cameron is a Fake Christian a Huge Fraud. He Never Left Hollywood. He Constantly Defends Full House / Fuller House and his Whorish Fake Christian Sister.

Kirk Cameron still Acts in Hollywood. His “Christian” Films are not Christian they push a False Gospel. These Films Twist the Scriptures and Teach False Doctrine.

Kirk Cameron endlessly hangs out with Hollywood Stars. He is a Huge Defender of Hollywood. He defends the Whorish Work of his Sister. Full House was a very Creepy show full of Sexual Jokes.

“Christian” Evangelist Preacher Kirk Cameron is currently on TBN with his Sister Candance Cameron Bure who did a Lesbian Dance on Fuller House and a Lesbian Kissing scene.  Fuller House pushed the LGBTQIA+ agenda. Promoted Sex, Drinking everything Evil. Full House and Fuller House were not depicting Christian Families portrayed on TV. The Families were very uncomfortable to watch. How could a Christian do such Horrible things on TV and still walk around proud of her acting career.

The Christian Post said this about Fuller House:

While perusing through Bure’s Facebook page, it’s evident that some of the actress’ fans are taken back by “Fuller House” and the heavy adult content.

“We were promised over and over again that this would be the ‘family friendly’ show that we loved in the original ‘Full House,'” one Facebook user wrote.

“‘Fuller House’ is disappointing. There were some good points, but sadly, they were overshadowed by the very ugly parts,” another added.

In episode 12 of the spin off, Stephanie and Kimmy deliberately share a girl-on-girl kiss, while earlier in the same episode DJ’s two love interest Matt and Steve also accidentally kiss each other. The same-sex affection has people up in arms.

“I waited a long time to watch this and I was so excited, but the gay/lesbian act scenes uh NO… the profanity used, and the lack of clothing on some were just a huge disappointment… If you’re going to state you’re a Christian then you can’t live in a world of sin and act like it’s ok,” a comment on Bure’s social media read.

Someone else said, “Disappointed, only because I definitely can not watch it with my children. Clothing, drinking, it is just too much for us.”

The Twisted Truth About Full House:

How could Kirk. Cameron say he’s never had a desire to leave the Cesspool of Hollywood? There’s not a Stinking Sewer in America any more Repulsive to the nostrils of God than Hollywood!!! Hollywood is synonymous with taking God’s name in vain, Homosexuality, Lasciviousness, Indifference, Pedophilia, Pride, Adultery, Lust, Greed, Violence, Pornography, Prostitution, Booze, Mocking God, and every other Evil imaginable. They’re all living for Satan, whether they realize it or not! And Kirk Cameron says he’s never left Hollywood?

James 4:4 warns, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Yet Kirk Cameron is Fine Promoting Hollywood. Working in Hollywood with Adulterous Blasphemers who curse the name of Jesus Christ as much as possible. Apostasy!

Tim Tebow Exposed:

Tim Tebow Often Mocked Jesus. He  posed as Jesus on the Cross for GQ. No Christian would ever pose like that.

Tim Tebow went into Modeling. He was an underwear model. Christians do not wear underwear in Public let alone have their Semi Nude pictures all over the Internet, in Magazines, in videos.

Tebow obviously was / is full of himself. He Loved being photographed. He loved being photographed half nude. He does everything he can to Stay on TV. To stay a Celebrity.

Being a Celebrity is not a Christian ambition.

Tim Tebow pretended to be a Virgin until marriage. Nobody who has a half a brain believes this is True. Tim Tebow Dated Models. He only Dated the most Beautiful Women. None of the Women He dated was a Christian. An Actually Very Devout Christian man, the type of Christian Tebow claimed to be would only Date Christian Women who wore Modest Clothing. Modest Clothing just means you wear Clothing that does not show off your body. You do not run around half dressed exposing your body.

In the last Picture Tim Tebow is side by side in Pictures with Miss Universe. The Obviously Fake PR Story was that she dumped him because he refused to have Sex with her. That was a Fake Relationship to promote that Tim Tebow is a Great Christian and a Virgin.

Tim Tebow can Date the most Beautiful Women in the World and resist the Temptation to have Sex… If Tim was a Christian he would not have Tempted himself by Dating so many Beautiful Non-Christian Women that wore the least amount of Clothing possible a lot of the time.

Tim Tebow Gets Exposed for Being Greedy in New John Elway Book

A new book by sports journalist Jason Cole titled, “Elway: A Relentless Life,” dives into the 2011 season and trashes Tebow in the process.

The book, according to Daily Mail, calls Tebow “egotistical and money hungry.” The book alleges that Tebow, a devout Christian, charged $50,000 to speak at churches, and it also alleges that Elway’s wife, Janet, asked Tebow to do an appearance at a charity event and Tebow’s brother said it would be $50,000 for an appearance. She ultimately declined.

One Denver staffer also allegedly called Tebow, “The most self-centered humble guy I’ve ever met.”

Cole also writes in the book about his on-field play, “As one teammate put it bluntly that season: ‘He has no idea what’s going on out there. If the first read doesn’t work, he’s just making it up.’”

Was Pastor Dr. Jack Hyles Church The Greatest Soul Winning Church?

The Truth About IFB Baptist Pastor Jack Hyles

Jack Hyles Personal Life and his Ministry was full of Scandal after Scandal. The Hypocrisy of Jack Hyles supporters is BOLD and Shocking. A typical Hyles supporter: “Yes, yes, I know. No one is perfect…” These same people have no problem Exposing and dragging other Pastors through the mud. The more I talk with Hyles supporters, people who attended his Church before he died and after, the more I realize they did not know Jack Hyles Theology.

They sat in the pews listened to him Preach seemingly everything went in one ear and out the other. Because after talking with them it was obvious they did not know what Jack Hyles Believed.

Jack Hyles Bio

“Jack Frasure Hyles (September 25, 1926 – February 6, 2001) was born and raised in Italy, Texas, a small, low-income city in Ellis County, south of Dallas. Hyles often described his less-than-ideal upbringing which, he said, included a distant father. At the age of eighteen, Hyles enlisted in the United States Army and served as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. He and his wife, Beverly, were married during the war.

Hyles was a leading figure in the Independent Baptist movement. He pastored the First Baptist Church of Hammond in Hammond, Indiana, from August 1959 until his death in 2001. He was well known for being an innovator of the church bus ministry that brought thousands of people each week from surrounding towns to Hammond for services. Hyles built First Baptist up from fewer than a thousand members to a membership of 100,000. In 1993 and again in 1994, it was reported that 20,000 people attended First Baptist every Sunday, making it the most attended Baptist church in the United States. In 2001, at the time of Hyles’s death, 20,000 people were attending church services and Sunday school each week.”

Jack Hyles move to Hammond, Indiana

In 1959, Hyles moved to the church-provided parsonage at 8232 Greenwood Avenue, Munster, Indiana, and became the pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond. When he arrived, the church had a membership of about seven hundred, many from affluent backgrounds. About a third of the members left the church after hearing Hyles’ preaching style, which was very different from that to which they had been accustomed. Hyles then led the church to its status as an Independent Baptist church—freeing it from its ties with the American Baptists. Hyles started his bus ministry and soon shepherded the church from a congregation of several hundred to more than 20,000. In the early 1990s a national survey ranked First Baptist as the largest church in the nation, by average weekly attendance figures.

Beginning in 1969, and continuing for several years, First Baptist received recognition for the size of its Sunday School. In 1969, Elmer Towns wrote a book called The Ten Largest Sunday Schools and What Makes Them Grow which analyzed First Baptist’s Sunday School. Towns presented a plaque to Hyles in 1971, naming First Baptist Church of Hammond the nation’s largest Sunday school. In 1972, and for several years following, Christian Life Magazine proclaimed First Baptist Church of Hammond to have “the world’s largest Sunday School”.

Jack Hyles Huge Ego. His Bus Ministry One Lie after another.

Jack Hyles Bus Ministry, his Children’s Ministry and his Sunday School Ministry were all about Hyles Huge EGO. He was obsessed with Numbers. He Gloried in Falsely Claiming huge weekly Soul Winning Numbers. Workers in his Ministry were publicly recognized and rewarded for their Soul Winning totals.

What Jack Hyles Soul winning method was:

“Get in the door… Put your foot in the door and do not let the door close on you. Always Pray the Sinners Prayer, even if they are not Praying with you, before you Leave.”

So every door a Hyles member went to was counted as people being Saved. The same method is used with Alter Calls at the Church. Some one will Pray a Sinners Pray with them and they will be Counted as Saved. Children from the Bus Ministry are treated the same way.

Forcing a Sinners prayer on People, Yes these Prayers were said despite often being objected to, is not Salvation. I have been in the Christian Ministry for 40 years and I can sense when someone is agreeing with me just to move me along, not because they care about anything I am saying. You do not coach someone in saying a Sinners Prayer like Jack Hyles teaches that will not result in a person being Saved.

If someone Asks me to pray with them. I make them tell me how a person is Saved, without Coaching. If they Believe and understand the Gospel I tell them you have it, that is right. You do not need me to Pray with You.

The Jack Hyles Soul Winning Method is Phony.

It does not Save anyone. To be Saved a Person has to be under Actual Conviction from the Holy Spirit of God. They have to have a real understanding of the Gospel and their need for Salvation.

Below is Proof from Jack Hyles that he was Lost. Jack Hyles never Saved anyone. His whole Ministry was one Huge Lie.

Jack Hyles Soul Winning Method
Jack Hyles Aggressive Un-Biblical Soul Winning Method
Jack Hyles Repent of Sin
Jack Hyles Repent of Sin False Gospel Sinners Prayer

Jack Hyles taught what most IFB Baptist Teach Repent of Sin to Be Saved.

I was Saved with the Good News for Modern man Bible. I was taught the Gospel. I believed the Gospel only to Save me.

Like all Cults they contradict themselves they hold up John and Charles Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, Billy Sunday, Charles Spurgeon and many others as having been great men of God that preached hard against Sin. None of these men were KJV only, they used other versions of the Bible. All these men were Lost, Jonathan Edwards and Charles Spurgeon being Calvinists.

Sin is their focus, not Jesus. I have seen a Pastor run women out of the Church who were just visiting the Church because they were wearing pants. The Pastor called them Whores right to their face. He said I will not allow Whorish Women in my Church to tempt and to corrupt the men of my Church

They coined Easy Believism to say that people who Simply Believed the Gospel only to Save them were, seeking to be able to live in Sin. Anyone who did not make Jesus the Lord of their Lives were not Saved. “If Jesus is not Lord of All, than he is not Lord at All.”

Below is a note I wrote to a friend of mine who Loves Jack Hyles. He doesn’t care about all of Hyles Scandals. He denies Jack Hyles taught Repent of Sin. Even Jack Hyles own 1962 book on Soul winning did not convince him. He told me maybe early ( This book on Soul Winning was the Foundation of Jack Hyles Ministry. This is was what Jack Hyles was taught in his youth. Jack Hyles never rejected The Repent of Sin False Gospel.) on Jack Hyles wrote that book and believed in Repent of Sin to be Saved. But the majority of his Ministry he taught the Gospel Only for Salvation.

My Note: Jack Hyles never rejected his 1962 book on Soul Winning. As far as I know many years after his death it is still for sale by the Sword of the Lord. I bought my copy from the Sword of the Lord just 2 years ago. If a world famous Pastor rejects a popular book / booklet that he has written he would have the publication of that book stopped. He would write a book refuting his former False beliefs and Teachings. Being Wrong on Salvation in 1962 would say that Jack Hyles was not Saved in 1962. When was he really Saved then?  No Jack Hyles was a Wolf in Sheep’s clothing. He, like all False Teachers, constantly contradicted himself. I find it strange how you will defend False Teachers. You will admit some of their False teachings then you will excuse them by going to a different book they wrote. You falsely say they recanted their False Teachings using a different book as proof. You have not shown that I have seen where these False Teachers have Said that they were Wrong and they had changed their False Teachings / Beliefs. They certainly never made any public confessions of being Wrong and having pushed a False plan of Salvation. Someone who admits they are Wrong will make sure everyone knows they were Wrong. They will pull from circulation all Books, videos and audios of their False Teachings. The people you defend as having rejected their False plans of Salvation have not done that.

False Teachers will teach the Truth to break into Churches.

To attract people in IFB Churches in Baptist Churches in mainstream Churches so they can later Teach them their False plan of Salvation.  People like Charles Spurgeon, Dr. Peter S. Ruckman have books long in publication and Sermons in print and on audio and video that teach different plans of Salvation for the Christian Church.

Jack Hyles Said you can only be Saved with a KJV Bible.

I was Saved from the Good News from Modern Man Bible. The Bible Says you do not even need the Bible to Be Saved.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Jack Hyles Denies Jesus Died for our Sins. Proof Jack Hyles was a Lost False Teacher.

People need to understand what these Cult Churches believe and teach so they do not fall prey to them. Or so they can get out of them.

How to Be Saved:

Acts 16:30 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.

The Greatest possible Question and Answer.

Question? What must I do to be Saved?

Answer: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

If you Believe the Bible is the 100% True word of God than this is how a person is Saved, period! Plus nothing else.

When you read the Bible you need to look at the entire context of the verse you are using.

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.

What does it mean to Believe on Jesus? To Believe on Jesus you Believe what the Bible says about Jesus.

John 6:63 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

I want to focus on “… the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

The condensed meaning is Jesus Words are Alive. A spirit is Alive. “… they are Life.”

They are Life means that Jesus Words are what gives us Eternal Life.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Jesus is literally the Living Word of God. The only Way to Heaven. JESUS ONLY. Not Jesus plus anything else.

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

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.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

The 2 Greatest Evangelists Of All Time: Billy Sunday and Billy Graham?

Billy Graham and Billy Sunday

They will be forever linked because Billy Graham said he was Saved at a Billy Sunday revival. There are numerous books, videos, articles, etc…, from them and about them. Billy Sunday and Billy Graham are credited with reaching the most people in History. They Preached to more people than anyone else in their Revivals / Crusades. Under their Preaching Millions of people were supposedly Saved. I question that either one of them Saved even one person in their entire Lives.

Why? Neither on of them have a Christian Testimony. Billy Graham was a Southern Baptist. The Southern Baptist Church does not teach the Gospel Only for Salvation. They Teach the Gospel plus Works as does every other “Christian” Cult. The Southern Baptist Teach to be Saved you have to Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Billy Graham was a very Good Southern Baptist. He taught you have to Repent of Sin to be Saved.

Billy Graham Hypocritically said repeatedly that Eternal life is a Gift, obtained by Grace Alone through Faith, and it sounds great what he said. But like All False Teachers he double Talks. Many False Teachers will at one time in their Ministry have taught Salvation correctly but later on they add Works to Salvation. Some False Teachers one day will teach Salvation Correctly than the next day they will add Works to Salvation. People will show me where they said Salvation correctly and I will show them where they taught Works. No Saved Pastor will ever teach Works as Part of Salvation.

Typically Billy Graham will Say: “Salvation is 100% Jesus without Works. We are Saved by Grace Without Works…” Then after he gains the crowd’s confidence, he changes direction and he starts adding requirements to be saved. Such as, to be Saved you have to change your behavior. You cannot continue in your current Sinful lifestyle and go to Heaven. You have to Turn From Your Sin before you can be Saved. You must openly confess Jesus Christ before people to be Saved. You have to fully Surrender to Christ’s Lordship to be Saved.. None of these things are the Gospel! Are part of Salvation. Are how a person is Saved. And he said you must CONTINUE doing these things to have Eternal Life! That is NOT the Gospel set forth in the Bible!

Billy Graham Like all Southern Baptist Preachers Taught you Have to Repent of Your Sins to Go to Heaven.

All Repent of your Sins False Teachers Falsely teach that the definition of Repent is to: Repent of Your Sin, To Turn From Sin. They Falsely Claim that this is not Works.

It is Works because according to them you must Agree to Stop Sinning before you can be Saved. Also they teach if you do not Ask For Forgiveness for every Sin that you commit, Another way they define Repentance, you will go to Hell. Turning From Sin is their illustration that to Be Saved You Have to Turn From Sin: Stop Sinning to Be Saved. This is 100% Works. Do not Forget Repent of Sin is not in the Bible.

The Bible Teaches that To Turn From Sin, To Repent of Sin, is Works.

Jonah 3:10 “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.”

God saw their Works. What Works? That they turned from their Evil Way. Evil Way = Sin. God / the Bible Defines Repent, Turn From Sin as Works. It could not be any more Clear.

Also see God Repented (Changed His Mind) of the Evil, God was going to Kill them, that he had said he would do unto them; and he did it not. So God here Changed his mind, which is Repentance.

Below in this YouTube Video Billy Does what All Repent of Sin False Teachers Do He Falsely Defines Repentance. He Says the Definition of Repent is to Stop Sinning, To Change Your Life Style. To Repent of Sin. The Bible Does not Define Repentance as to Repent of Sin. The Bible Definition of Repentance is to Change your mind. Do you realize that God Repents in the Bible more than anyone Else. Every Time God Repents he changes his Mind. Bible Repentance is to Change your mind from unbelief in Jesus, unbelief in the Gospel, to Belief in Jesus, to Belief in the Gospel as the Only Way to Heaven.

Billy Graham a brief Bio:

William Franklin Graham Jr. (November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018) was an American Evangelist and an ordained Southern Baptist Pastor who became well known internationally starting in the late 1940s. He was a prominent Evangelical Christian figure, and according to a biographer, was “among the most influential Christian leaders” of the 20th century.

Billy Graham held large indoor and outdoor Revivals with sermons that were broadcast on radio and television. Many are still being re-broadcast . In his six decades to this day. On Television, he hosted annual Crusades, Evangelistic Campaigns that ran from 1947 until his retirement in 2005. He also hosted the radio show Hour of Decision from 1950 to 1954. He Repudiated Racial Segregation and insisted on racial integration for his Revivals and Crusades, starting in 1953. He later invited Martin Luther King Jr. to Preach jointly at a revival in New York City in 1957. In addition to his religious aims, he helped shape the worldview of a huge number of people who came from different backgrounds. Leading them to find a relationship between the Bible and Contemporary Secular viewpoints. According to his website, Billy Graham preached to live audiences of 210 million people in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings, including BMS World Mission and Global Mission.

Billy Graham was particularly close to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson (one of Graham’s closest friends), and Richard Nixon. He was also lifelong friends with Robert Schuller. Another televangelist and the founding pastor of the Crystal Cathedral. Billy Graham talked Schuller into starting his own television ministry. Graham’s Evangelism was appreciated by mainline Protestant and Catholic Denominations. He encouraged those mainline Protestants who were converted to his Evangelical message. To remain within or return to their mainline churches. Billy Graham embarrassed Catholicism he encouraged unity between Catholics and Protestants.

I must Break in on this Bio… Billy Graham was not A Christian and this Bio makes that absolutely clear. He was an Ecumenicalist. Ecumenicalists Believe all Roads Lead to Heaven. Today’s Ecumenicalists  push “COEXIST” that all Religions are Equally Valid and they Will All Get You to Heaven.

President Lyndon Johnson was a very openly Vile Human Being. He was a well Known Racist Bigot a member of the KKK. The Leftist Press hid this Fact from the Public.

Robert Schuller was a Weirdo. Calling him a Preacher a Pastor is misusing those words. He was like Norman Vincent Peale the Power of Positive Thinking. Schuller was really just a motivational speaker that included Bible Verses. He did not Preach the Gospel.

In the Below YouTube Video Robert Schuller says He Does Not Believe In Everything the Bible Says. He actually Mocks Belief in the Bible.

Billy Graham in the Below YouTube Videos Said that No One will Go to Hell. He said Everyone is A Christian Even if they Do Not Know It. This False Un-Biblical Belief is called Universalism.

Billy Graham’s inclusiveness was all PR. He made more money the more people he allowed into his Revivals, into all of his meetings. His SBC was 100% White when he joined it. The Southern Baptist Church is the most Racist Church in History. Today the SBC is 85% White.

Now the rest of Billy Graham’s Bio:

Billy Graham operated a variety of media and publishing outlets. According to his staff, more than 3.2 million people have responded to the invitation at Billy Graham Crusades to “accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior”. (My Note: That is not what Billy Graham Taught he Taught you have to Repent of Your Sins to Be Saved. When someone made an Alter Call To Be Saved they were met by a person who had them pray a Sinner’s Prayer in that Prayer they had to Repent of their Sins to be Saved. At every Revival Billy Graham had handouts that Said to be Saved you have to Repent of Sin.)

Graham’s estimated lifetime audience, including radio and television broadcasts, topped billions of people. As a result of his crusades, Graham preached the (His False Repent of Sins Gospel) gospel to more people in person than anyone in the history of Christianity. Graham was on Gallup’s list of most admired men and women a record 61 times. Grant Wacker writes that by the mid-1960s, he had become the “Great Legitimator”: “By then his presence conferred status on presidents, acceptability on wars, shame on racial prejudice, desirability on decency, dishonor on indecency, and prestige on civic events.”

Billy Graham was in Love with Hollywood. He spent a lot of his time living it up with Satanic Hollywood Stars.

Billy Graham was Friends with many Country Music Stars. Country Music is Vile these friends sung about Whiskey getting Drunk, Adultery, Random Sex, they Glorified every Sin you can think of.

Billy Graham was the President’s Pastor. Nothing could be more Wicked than to be called the Pastor to POTUS. What Billy Graham was doing is telling Everyone this Guy is a Christian you should support him. None of those Presidents were Christians. Most of them were very Vile and Evil and so were their politics. If Billy Graham was Alive and healthy right now he would be standing with Joe Biden just like he stood up for the Clinton’s. Billy Graham was great Friends with the Clinton’s and the Bush’s some very Evil people.

Billy Sunday

His Bio: “Billy Sunday ( William Ashley) (1862–1935) was an American athlete who, after being a popular outfielder in baseball’s National League during the 1880s, became the most celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the 20th century.

Born into poverty in Iowa, Sunday spent some years in an orphanage before working at odd jobs and playing for local running and baseball teams. His speed and agility provided him the opportunity to play baseball in the major leagues for eight years, where he was an average hitter and a good fielder known for his base-running.

Converted to evangelical Christianity in the 1880s, Sunday left baseball for the Christian ministry. He gradually developed his skills as a pulpit evangelist in the Midwest and then, during the early 20th century, he became the nation’s most famous evangelist with his colloquial sermons and frenetic delivery. Sunday held widely reported campaigns in America’s largest cities, and he attracted the largest crowds of any evangelist before the advent of electronic sound systems. He also made a great deal of money and was welcomed into the homes of the wealthy and influential. Sunday was a strong supporter of Prohibition, and his preaching almost certainly played a significant role in the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919.

Despite questions about his income, no scandal ever touched Sunday. He was sincerely devoted to his wife, who also managed his campaigns, but his three sons disappointed him. His audiences grew smaller during the 1920s as Sunday grew older, religious revivals became less popular, and alternate sources of entertainment appeared. Nevertheless, Sunday continued to preach and remained a stalwart defender of conservative Christianity until his death.

While Billy Sunday was a remarkable evangelist of his time, one of his greatest converts is Dr. Billy Graham. Dr. Graham writes about his conversion in this book, “Just As I Am” published by Harper Collins in 1997.”

Who Billy Sunday really was as an Evangelist.

IFB Baptists love Billy Sunday who was not even a Baptist he was a Presbyterian. Baptists Beliefs are a lot different than Presbyterian’s. Especially IFB Baptists that only use the KJV Bible. I always found it very Weird that in every IFB Church I have attended that Billy Sunday was a Huge Hero. After three years in Professional Baseball, he became a famous Revivalist Preacher. He held packed Tent Meetings across the country. He preached against the Consumption of Alcohol, gaining a reputation as a Temperance Leader.

The Presbyterian Church is not a Christian Church it teaches and has always taught Calvinism.

https://www.learnreligions.com/presbyterian-church-beliefs-and-practices-700522#:~:text=The%20beliefs%20and%20practices%20set%20forth%20by%20the,reformer.%20Calvin%27s%20theology%20was%20similar%20to%20Martin%20Luther%27s

Billy Sunday as a Temperance Preacher preached against Sin!!! His messages were all: “Repent of your Sins before it is too Late. If your do not Turn Away from Alcohol, Adultery, Fornication, all of your Secret Sins you will Go to Hell. Turn or Burn. All Drunks will Go to Hell. Stop your Sinning or Go to Hell.”

This message is why IFB Churches Love Billy Sunday. Preaching against Everything is all the IFB does. The IFB invent Sins to Preach against. They Do not understand the Bible. People do not Go to Hell for their Sins. They Go to Hell for Rejecting Jesus.

John 3:18 “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 the Bible is Clear a person is Saved by Believing on Jesus Only. A person does not Go to Hell for their Sins. They Go to Hell For Rejecting Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

1st John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Jesus died for All Sin. He paid for all the Sins of the Entire World.

It is impossible to go to Hell for Sin.

Jesus either Died for All Sin or he did not. If Jesus did not Die for All Sin like the Bible says than we are All Lost.

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

1st Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;”

Jesus is the ONE AND ONLY SACRIFICE FOR ALL SINS FOREVER.

Hebrews 10:4 “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”

The Bible makes it Crystal Clear that Jesus Died for ALL SIN. ADDING ANYTHING TO JESUS BLOOD ATONEMENT IS WORKS.

Billy Sunday passed out booklets that taught lordship Salvation at all of his Tent meetings. Billy Sunday was not a Christian.

The truth is what Billy Sunday taught about Salvation how to be Saved is not Biblical. I know you can find Billy Sunday saying a lot of Biblical things. He quoted lot of scriptures. The bottom line is he talked out of both sides of his mouth like all False Teachers. He contradicted himself constantly.

Below is Billy Sunday telling how to be Saved. It is not Biblical. It is Works.

“Have you surrendered to Him as your Lord and Master? That is, are you willing to do His will even when it conflicts with your desire? Have you confessed to Him as your Saviour and Master before the world? Is it your purpose to strive to please Him in everything day by day? If you can sincerely answer “YES” to the foregoing questions, then you may know on the authority of God’s word that you are NOW a child of God.”

The Gospel, the only Way to be Saved according to the Bible is not included in Billy Sunday’s False Plan of Salvation.

Billy Sunday is teaching lordship salvation. Lordship salvation says before you can be Saved you must make Jesus the Lord of your Life. The Bible doesn’t say this.

Read the quote carefully. It tells you that you must Surrender to Jesus ( Also commonly said as: Surrender, give your Life to Jesus to be Saved. This is not Biblical. Jesus gave his Life to Save us. We do not give our Lives to Jesus to be Saved.) to be Saved.

It says you have to make A Public Confession of your Faith as part of your Salvation. The Bible doesn’t say that.

Billy says to be Saved you have to agree to strive to do his will in everything you do. That means: You Must Agree That You Will Strive Not To Sin as a Condition a Requirement for you to be Saved. This is not Biblical.

Nothing in his statement is Biblical. A person is Saved by Believing the Gospel Only not by anything in Billy Sunday’s False Plan of Salvation.

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel only, by Asking Jesus to Save us, Accepting Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

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:

Who Was Charles Stanley? Was He A Christian?

Charles Stanley was a Southern Baptist Pastor.

No Christian should ever have a problem defending their Faith. So do not attack me for Asking, was Charles Stanley a Christian. I will firmly say that Charles Stanley was not a Christian. He was a False Teacher.

As a Southern Baptist he held to every False Teaching taught by the Southern Baptists. More on this Later.

Below is a brief Bio of Charles Stanley:

Charles Frazier Stanley (September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023) was an American Southern Baptist pastor and writer. He was senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Atlanta for 49 years and took on emeritus status in 2020. He founded and was president of In Touch Ministries, which widely broadcasts his sermons through television and radio. He also served two one-year terms as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, from 1984 to 1986.

Stanley joined the staff of First Baptist Church of Atlanta in 1969 and became senior pastor in 1971.

In 1972, Stanley launched a half-hour religious television program called The Chapel Hour. In 1977, Stanley founded In Touch Ministries with the mission to lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church. The Christian Broadcasting Network began televising In Touch in 1978. The show has since been translated into 50 languages. In the United States, In Touch is broadcast on approximately 500 radio stations, 300 television stations, and several satellite networks including The Inspiration Network and Trinity Broadcasting Network. Stanley’s sermons, along with other audio and video programming, are available on the In Touch website. The ministry also publishes In Touch magazine. In Touch uses tools like radio, television, magazines and digital media in its effort to advance the Gospel as quickly as possible. Stanley took the ministry name In Touch from a Living Bible he owned.

Stanley’s writings and broadcasts address issues such as finances, parenting, personal crises, emotional matters, relationships, and Protestantism. According to the In Touch website, “Dr. Stanley fervently believes the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God, a belief strongly reflected in his teaching.”

In 1985, Charles Stanley was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention. In 2017, Stanley named Anthony George to succeed him as senior pastor of First Baptist Church at some point in the future. On September 13, 2020, Stanley announced his retirement as senior pastor and transition to pastor emeritus, but noted that he would continue to work at In Touch Ministries.

With regard to theology, Stanley was a conservative evangelical, and his eschatology was dispensationalist. Over the course of his ministry, Stanley developed “30 Life Principles.” He credited his Pentecostal grandfather, George Washington Stanley, with inspiring one of his most referenced principles: “Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.” In his book Courageous Faith: My Story from a Life of Obedience, Stanley said, “Granddad told me, ‘Charles, if God tells you to run your head through a brick wall, you head for the wall, and when you get there, God will make a hole for it.'” Stanley also addressed his influences and philosophy when he wrote in 2009 that he “began to apply the principles of [Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich] to my endeavors as a pastor, and I discovered they worked! For years, I read [it] every year to remind myself that the truth of God is not just for one career field. It is for all manner of work and ministry.”

Exposing False Teacher Charles Stanley

The above Bio is a real mess. Obviously written by someone who does not understand Christianity. The term Evangelical is a made up Term. It is not a Christian Denomination. It is just like the term Ecumenical which is also not a Denomination. These are broad terms that seek to put specific Churches into one big happy Tent.

Churches that use the term Evangelical are Lost they teach Repent of Sin to be Saved. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Repent of sin means that to Be Saved you have to not Sin again. In this False Gospel Jesus does not and cannot Save you. You have to Stop Sinning. Some will say it is Actually you have to Repent of Every Sin you have Ever Committed, Ask God to Forgive each and everyone of your Sins. If you skip even one Sin you will go to Hell.

Repent of Sin False Churches say both. Many who teach it will deny teaching it. When Asked they say: “No you misunderstand. We do not Believe you have to Repent of Sin as such… But what Saved person lives in constant habitual Sin? They in fact do believe you have to Repent of Sin. They claim a Christian cannot live in Sin. My answer to them is to Read Romans Chapter 7 where the Apostle Paul is in Agony over his Habitual Sins that he cannot stop. They are the worsts Frauds, complete Hypocrites.

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Charles Stanley like most False Teachers took teachings from the Catholic Church, from the Pentecostal Church, and many other Churches. Most Baptists including Charles Stanley are very Calvinist in their beliefs.

His Dispensationalist beliefs are 100% unbiblical. Dispensationalism is not found in the Bible it is completely made up. The short meaning of Dispensationalism is that there is not one plan of Salvation. There are many different plans of Salvation. According to them God kept changing how a person is Saved. They teach the Bible has 12 or more different ways to Be Saved in it. Not one of these plans that they have invented is Jesus Only.

These Dispensationalist Love to say that they Believe right now in the Church Age Dispensation Salvation is through Faith Alone, by Grace Alone, by Jesus Alone. They say this, Charles Stanley always said this, and use the correct Bible verses to defend this. But they do not Believe it for a Second. They all teach Repent of Sin to Be Saved which is Salvation by Works by what you do. They do not Trust in Jesus only for Salvation.

Charles Stanley’s Southern Baptist Convention:

If you want to know what is happening at the Southern Baptist Convention please watch all of the YouTube Videos I am including and open and read all the links I have included.

People often read maybe 1% of my Blogs and want to argue with me. They have not read my Blog but want to argue with me about it. It is obvious when I talk to them. They demand information I have already given in my Blog. I kindly tell them that before they argue with me about my Blog they have not even read they need to read it. Including all the information in my links.

They want me to repeat everything I said in the information I already provided to them. All the questions they ask me I have already answered in my Blog. So please read my entire Blog including all the videos and links. Afterward we can have an Adult conversation if you would like to.

Recently a Woman who engaged me in conversation, well she wanted to argue with me, told me: “Why would I read your Blog?” (She was Angry at my Blog. She possible just read the Head line and the 1st few sentences only. But she did not read 98% of my Blog.)

“I know I will not agree with anything you have to Say.”

The truth is she, the Devil inside of her, did not want to Change her Mind. She wanted to tell me what she Believed. But she refused to hear me out. She wanted a one Side Conversation. “Listen to Me!!! I will just Ignore what you have to Say!!! Just Listen to me and Shut up!!!

That is what happens online typically. People go online to Argue not to Learn and Listen to someone else. They are all know it All’s who in truth have zero idea what they are talking about. They cannot defend their position. 

Repent of Sin to be Saved is the SBC’s plan of Salvation. Calvinism is now and has been Historically upheld. Note Calvinism is not Biblical. It is a non-Christian set of beliefs invented by John Calvin. A former Catholic who created his own Religion. He blended Catholic teaches into Calvinism. This is no different than Joseph Smith inventing Mormonism.

The Southern Baptist Church is a non Christian Cult. Many unsaved Cults have Baptist in their name. Like all Freewill Baptist and all Reformed Baptist. In the link below is the Southern Baptist Convention reaffirming their belief in Repent of Sin to be Saved.
The recent decision by delegates to the Southern Baptist Convention to affirm the use of the “sinner’s prayer” – known as a prayer of repentance and “inviting Jesus into your heart” – has undermined Calvinism in the denomination and placed a renewed emphasis on traditional Baptist soteriology: if you repent, call on the Lord and believe in Christ for mercy, you are saved.
The resolution, which passed Wednesday by a majority vote of around 80 percent, affirmed the belief that “repentance from sin and personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are necessary for salvation.” Citing Romans 10:13, it also affirmed that “repentance and faith involve a crying out for mercy and a calling on the Lord,” more commonly known as the “sinner’s prayer,” as a “biblical expression of repentance and faith.”

I have included my message on the Sinners Prayer. I sent it earlier in one of my 1st emails. Maybe you did not see it like you missed the pictures I sent you about Jack Hyles book on Soul winning. I have also included the information about Billy Sunday I talked about in the same earlier email that you wanted to see. The Sinners’ prayer is Biblical. Cults like the Southern Baptist always put Repent of Sin or another version of lordship salvation in their Sinners prayer.

People often ask me, not how to be Saved only, but how do I know that I am Saved. I know I am Saved because I have the Holy Spirit of God inside of me. I tell people that after being Saved God speaks to me. The notion of God speaking to people is a reason to put that person in a straight jack and to lock them away in a mental hospital according to the Lost World. A popular police TV series Blue Bloods had an episode with the family praying at the dinner table and the young police officer son told his Father: “Today I arrested a guy who said God speaks to him. Do you think God speaks to people?” Tom Selleck’s character said: “This man you arrested, obviously was very disturbed. There are no burning bushes with God speaking to someone out of.” This good Catholic family is the core of Blue Bloods. TV and movies are used to push Satan’s False Religions and to mock the truth of the Bible.

The Southern Baptist Convention, as the Denomination is formally known, has been in the news recently amid questions over its pro-slavery past and allegations of sex abuse. Last year, one of the denomination’s key seminaries fired its president over an alleged cover-up of rape.

The South and the Southern Baptist Church during Slavery was 100% Democrat. There was not one Republican in a Southern Baptist Church. Republicans freed the Slaves. The Southern Baptist Church is 85% White today and is still full of Racist. I know this from having lived in Virginia, and Florida for over 20 years. I do not believe for one second that it is true that the Southern Baptist Church is by majority Republican now. Many top Southern Baptists were / are big supporters of the Republicans but that is not true across the board.

I hate it how Republicans who claim to be Christians scoff at the issue of Slavery. They wear blinders and falsely claim that people today are not even slightly influenced by the Bigots, the historic Evil attitude towards Blacks that Whites in both the North and South had. Yes most people in the North did not fight to free the Slaves. They fought to keep the South in the United States of America.

The Civil war was fought over States Rights. A popular quote at the time in the North was: “I would never risk my life to Free Slaves. I am fighting for the Union, for the United States.” Lincoln’s speeches were all about saving the United States not about freeing the Slaves. His Anti-Slavery Speeches came after the start of the Civil war. He Said: “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it.” Lincoln said this because he knew the people in the North would never go to War to end Slavery alone.

Lincoln’s only chance to Save the Union was the plea to Save the Union. The Slavery argument would not have gone anywhere. The argument for the North was to Save the Union. The South was fighting to keep Slavery that was the only issue for them. People feared that England, and France would come back and take over the United States again if it was broken apart. The Civil War is called the 2nd American Revolution for a reason.

Republicans ignore that even today the South is full of Racist Whites. The North if we are honest is also filled with Racist Whites. All of this Racism is because of Slavery. To say otherwise is a Lie. The excuse for Slavery was that Blacks left to themselves were no better than animals. They claimed Blacks were inferior in intelligence and a life in Slavery was a good life for them. Just read Gone with the Wind for proof. Gone with the Wind was Southern propaganda post Civil War. Margret Mitchell was raised by people who lived through the Civil War. She had 1st hand knowledge of how the South was before, during and after the Civil War by people who taught it to her.

To say White Racist no longer exist is a huge Lie. It is not as bad as it was in the past but it is still a huge problem that should not be ignored. All my life I have known White Racist. The military in the 1980’s, when I joined the military, was full of White Racists. A Black man in my squadron was tarred and feathered out in the hanger bay. He was left there for 12 hours for everyone to see. There was a mob of men standing by to prevent anyone from freeing him. He was tied to a chair. The officers, including the Commanding Officer had to have known about this.

Everyone on the ship was talking about it. It was no secret. No one was held accountable for this. I was told if I tried to interfere I would not be tarred and feathered. I would be thrown overboard without a life vest… You know people go missing at sea every cruise. That statement was true. I never went to sea when we did not lose at least one person who went overboard. Death at Sea is a fact. Murder at Sea is also a Fact.

My point concerning Charles Stanley is that he had to be a Racist to be a part of the Southern Baptist Church. At the time he joined the SBC it was extremely Racist.

How to Be Saved:

Acts 16:30 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.

The Greatest possible Question and Answer.

Question? What must I do to be Saved?

Answer: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

If you Believe the Bible is the 100% True word of God than this is how a person is Saved, period!!!! Plus nothing else.

It is hard to find any Church that Believes this and teaches this. Either the Bible is 100% True or it is a Lie.

When you read the Bible you need to look at the entire context of the verse you are using.

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.

What does it mean to Believe on Jesus? To Believe on Jesus you Believe what the Bible says about Jesus.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

This is a very deep and powerful verse. I have never heard a Pastor, a Preacher, an Evangelist, no one ever expound on and teach this entire verse.

I am not going to either, there is too much in this verse to be able to explain in one message.

I want to focus on “… the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

The condensed meaning is Jesus Words are Alive. A spirit is Alive. “… they are Life.”

They are Life means that Jesus Words are what gives us Eternal Life. Also we need to live our lives according to the Bible as Christians.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Jesus is literally the Living Word of God. The only Way to Heaven. JESUS ONLY. Not Jesus plus anything else.

Jesus words:

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

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.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Jack Chick, Dr. Peter Ruckman were they Christians?

Men of God or Satan’s False Teachers?

Jack T. Chick and Dr. Peter S. Ruckman they were Life Long Friends. They both Taught you have to Repent of Sin to Be Saved. That you have to Turn from your Sins to Be Saved. If you do not agree to Stop Sinning than you cannot be Saved. Is this True or False? I will completely answer this. 

Jack T. Chick, Chick Publications, Christian or not Christian? I will answer that Question Completely.

After Jack Chick Died on October 23, 2016 numerous major publications like the New York Times Published articles about him. Many I have seen were very respectful. Others were Mocking him.

Countless Religious organizations, and people wrote Articles, Blogs, comments on Social Media that were very Hateful of him. People were dancing in Joy because he Died. Ironically they are just as Wrong on Salvation, Theology, the Basic understanding of the Bible as Jack Chick was.

Below is a generic standard short Bio for Jack T. Chick.

“Jack Thomas Chick (April 13, 1924 – October 23, 2016) was an American cartoonist and publisher, best known for his fundamentalist Christian “Chick tracts“. He expressed his perspective on a variety of issues through sequential-art morality plays.

Chick’s views have been spread mostly through the tracts and, more recently, online. His company, Chick Publications, says it has sold over 1 Billion tractscomics tracts and comic books, videos, books, and posters designed to promote Evangelical Protestantism from a Christian fundamentalist perspective. They have been translated into more than 100 languages.

From 1953 to 1955, Jack Chick drew a single-panel cartoon, whose text was written by P. S. Clayton, titled Times Have Changed? It thematically resembled the B.C. comic strip and The Flintstones animated cartoon, but predated both. These were syndicated by the Mirror Enterprises Co. in Los Angeles area newspapers.

After converting to Christianity, Chick wanted to evangelize others, but he was too shy to talk to people directly about religion. Chick heard from missionary Bob Hammond, who had broadcast in Asia on the Voice of America, that the Chinese Communist Party had gained significant influence among ordinary Chinese in the 1950s through the distribution of small comic books. Chick also began working with a prison ministry and created a flip chart of illustrations to use with his presentation. He hit upon the idea of creating witnessing tracts, which could be given to people directly or indirectly.

While working for the AstroScience Corporation (a maker of tape recorders and avionics for the U.S. government) in El Monte, California, he self-published his first tract, Why No Revival? in 1960. He paid for it with a loan from his credit union. He published his second tract, A Demon’s Nightmare, in 1962. He decided to create more tracts and began “using his kitchen table as an office and art studio”. Christian bookstores were reluctant to accept the tracts, but they were popular among missionaries and churches.

He officially established Chick Publications in 1970 in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Initially, Chick wrote and illustrated all of the comics himself, but in 1972 he hired another artist to illustrate many of the tracts. Fred Carter illustrated tracts anonymously until 1980, when he was identified in an issue of Chick’s newsletter Battle Cry. Carter also painted the oil paintings seen in The Light of the World, a film Chick produced that related the Christian gospel.”

Life long Friends Dr. Peter S. Ruckman and Jack T. Chick

Dr. Peter Sturgis Ruckman (November 19, 1921 – April 21, 2016) was close friends with Jack Chick he sold Chick Publications / Tracts for 40 plus years. Like Chick Ruckman was an accomplished artist.

They were both Hated by Millions. Much more people Hated them than liked them. Jack T. Chick was much more known by the public than Ruckman. For example a simple Google Search of both of their Deaths will show numerous top Media Sites like the New York Times writing about Jack T. Chick.

Do the same search for Dr. Peter S. Ruckman and you will not see any major Media Site writing about him. His son another Dr. Peter Ruckman comes up because he murdered his two sons in cold blood and committed Suicide. He was obviously seriously mentally ill. Not a good look for the “Christian” influence of his Father on his life.

They were Loved by Radical KJV AV 1611 IFB, Independent Fundamental Baptists Churches because they wrote against every other possible Religion. Every Church Organization that was not a Radical KJV AV 1611 IFB Baptist Church they Mocked, Said were Lost Apostates.

Ruckman who Contradicted himself constantly also said: “People are Saved in almost every Church Denomination. There are Saved Catholics in most Catholic Churches. You will find Saved people in Mormon Churches, in Hindu, Buddhist Religions, in basically all Religious Organizations. You find them there because, many were Saved as Children than as Adults they rejected what they were taught and sought out something else. Even Adults will get mad at God and seek something else.

Exposing Lost False Teacher Jack T. Chick

At the end of every Jack Chick tract we find the following plan of salvation: “Be Willing To Turn From Sins.”

Jack Chick's: False Gospel
Jack Chick’s: False Gospel

Jack Chick’s “be willing to turn from sins” at the end of each of his tracts. Is clear PROOF that he is portraying Salvation as a Contract made, a DEAL with God. Not a gift. The Bible says Salvation is a Free Gift.

Jack Chick is Twisting the Scriptures. Acts 17:30 Explained:

Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at [overlooked]; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” 

What they were to repent or change their mind about is clear from verse 29. Here the Scripture says, “…we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold or silver or stone, graven by art and man’s device!” 

They needed to change their mind about God and see that He is not a graven image made of gold, silver, or stone but that He is a living God and is going to be their judge. 

Verse 31, “Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.” 

 In Luke 13:5 Jesus said, “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” The context of this verse shows that they needed to repent or change their mind regarding punishment and sin.

In this passage, Jesus Christ was talking to good people who believed that people suffered only because of their sins, and they concluded that those in Galilee whose blood Pilate mingled with sacrifices and those on whom the tower of Siloam fell were greater sinners because they died such horrible deaths.

Jesus contradicts the thinking of these self-righteous people and tells them that they need to repent or change their mind and see themselves as sinners, too, or they will perish in their own self-righteousness.  

Everyone is Saved by the Gospel Only. You will not find Jesus, Paul or any of Jesus other Disciples teaching to Be Saved you have to Repent of Sin. To Make a Deal with God to Stop Sinning to Be Saved.

Jack Chick’s False Gospel: “I will give you this car, BUT you must be willing to wash it before I will give it to you”. This is not a Gift! And the implication is clear they must be willing do something to have the car.

Understand in Jack Chick’s (Also, Peter S. Ruckman’s and KJV AV 1611 IFB Baptist Churches, Evangelical Churches, The vast Majority of Churches.) False Gospel if you are not Willing to Stop Sinning as a Condition of Salvation than you will not be Saved. Their Salvation is conditional not a Free Gift. It is Works Salvation.

Beware of their Buzz Words the Scriptures they share that say they Believe in Salvation by Grace Alone, By Only Jesus, By Faith Alone. They do not Believe any of this or the Scriptures that say it. If you have enough time in their Churches. Or if you talk with them long enough you will hear them say: “Repent or Perish.” “If you do not Change Your Ways you will Go To Hell.” “Turn or Burn.” They have a Lot of unbiblical sayings, teachings.

Repent of Sin is not in the Bible.

Salvation is never presented in the Bible as a 4 step plan. There is not one example in the Bible of this. Only the issue presented in step 3 is relevant to getting saved. It is the job of the Holy Spirit to convict the Lost Sinner of their Sins and their need for Jesus as their Savior.

The Bible commands “preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). 1st Cor 15:1-4 is the Gospel. Anything presented as the Gospel, the plan of Salvation. That is not the Gospel, (“any other gospel”-Gal 1:8) being preached is first of all disobedience to the Word of God. Second of all it is salvation by works. Because something is being ADDED. I don’t see “Turning from your Sins,” “Repent of Sin,” any other Work, in 1 Cor 15:1-4.

Millions of Lost people say it is a matter of semantics. I say if it does not match with the Word of God PRECISELY, it is False. Adding Words to the Gospel is NOT Semantics. An agreement to Stop Sinning to Be Saved is WORKS, it is not Semantics.

Satan Often says a lot of Half-Truths to Deceive. If you read the Bible you will clearly see this. The Bible is the Absolute Final Authority in Every WORD Spoken and Life Lived. If your Salvation is not the Gospel Only than you are Lost. If you are Saved and you do not Live your Life by the Bible than you are being Deceived by Satan.

Your Salvation is not determined by Good Works, by a Commitment to not Sin. A Friendly Warning If you choose to Live in Sin it is Wrong and it only Helps Satan. You will not Go to Hell but you do not want to meet Jesus after living a very Sinful Life.

Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

God has NEVER commanded us to present Salvation to Lost Sinners as a “Step-By-Step” process. That is not in the Bible anywhere. The Bible does not say “Preach a Plan”, it commands “preach the GOSPEL.”

Sadly Jack Chick Publications is poisoning multitudes with this deadly Salvation by Works message. I exhort you if you are Saved. If you have Believed the Gospel Only. The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus to pay for the Penalty of your Sins. To STOP distributing Chick Tracts. To Immediately throw them out in double Bagged Dark Trash Bags, and start Preaching the Gospel. Make your own Gospel Tracts.

Surrender your life to Christ? That’s Lordship Salvation!

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” — Acts 16:30-31

On their website’s statement of faith, they state concerning salvation:

Salvation is the gift of God and includes the forgiveness of sins, the imputation of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and the gift of eternal life. Union with the triune God provides all blessings in this life and the life hereafter. Salvation is received by faith alone, apart from all good works and merit.”

Yet, Mr. Chick horribly contradicts himself in every tract he writes when he REQUIRES lost sinners to “Be willing to turn from sin” to be saved. No Sir! Why doesn’t he state that in his statement of faith? This is deception! Jesus plainly said in Revelation 21:6, “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life FREELY.” Jesus said in John 7:28, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

I always loved the booklets, “This Was Your Life!” and “Love Story” Unfortunately, I really didn’t fully read each tract. I was looking at the pictures that told a story I thought was correct. Years Later God Forced me to carefully read these Chick Tracts and Others and I immediately Realized Jack Chick was Teaching a False Gospel.

“Ask Jesus to come into your heart,”  To “Invite Jesus into your life” Is a False Gospel Chick Tracts often uses. To “Ask Jesus into your Heart” is a False Gospel. To “Surrender your life to Christ” is a False Gospel. To “Trust Jesus” is a False Gospel.

The Gospel” is defined as: Christ DIED on the cross for our sins, He was BURIED, and bodily RESURRECTED three days later according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” Beware of all the garbage being taught in churches and on religious radio today!

Jack Chick is Confusing!

Mr. Chick states on one hand that he believes “salvation is the gift of God”; but then on the other hand teaches that a person MUST “be willing to turn from sin” to be saved. What a contradiction! 

Regardless of what Mr. Chick claims to believe, we must analyze his Gospel tracts based upon their content. 

In order to be saved, Jack Chick requires a sinner to pray the words… “I am willing to turn from sin.” This is unbiblical. The implication is that a person must cease from the activity of sin to be saved. This is the heresy of Lordship Salvation, which is nothing less than works salvation, and a sure road to hellfire.

Biblical salvation is when a person turns toward Jesus Christ to be saved from their sin; NOT turning from their sin in order to be saved. 

Romans 3:19 “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”

Carefully notice that a person is only required to turn to Jesus to be saved from the condemnation of sin, and not from the act of sin itself. The Law of God shows us our sinful condition, which causes us to realize that we are GUILTY! 

Repentance is when we “turn” to Jesus to receive His free gift of forgiveness and eternal life. To turn to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins is Biblical repentance.

This is drastically different than what Jack Chick is teaching, i.e., that a person is required to be willing to turn from the act of sin itself to be saved. You won’t find the phrases “repent of sin” or “turn from sin” anywhere in the Bible. 

It is false doctrine to require lost sinners to “be willing to turn from sin” as part of saving grace. Jesus shed His precious blood to pay for our sins, because our own self-righteousness could NOT save us. Isaiah 64:6 declares our own self-righteousness as “filthy rags” in the sight of God Almighty. 

Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 

To go to Heaven my friend, you need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, i.e., Jesus’ righteousness. We read in: 

Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” 

Jack Chick asks sinners to establish their own righteousness when he tells them they MUST “be willing to turn from sin” in order to have God’s free gift of eternal life. 

If a person is required to be willing to do anything to obtain a gift (other than receive it), then it is no longer a gift. If I say to my son… “You may borrow the car if you’re willing to bring it home with a full tank of gas.” The implication is clear—I expect him to completely fill the gas the tank before he returns the car!

The implication is the same in Chick Tracts. If a person MUST “be willing to turn from sin” to be saved, they are required to Forsake their Sinful behavior to be saved. They have to Stop Sinning.

According to Mr. Chick, you cannot be saved unless you’re “Willing To Turn From Sin.” (Which clearly implies that you must Forsake your Sinful Bad Habits to be Saved) There’s nothing in John 3:16, 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, or anywhere in the Bible, about Being Willing To Turn From Sin to be Saved.

Jack Chick False Gospel
Jack Chick False Gospel

In This Tract Party Girl, Grandma says: “If you Repent of Your Sins and Receive Jesus Christ by Faith then you will Receive God’s Love Gift.” Jill Prays “…Please come into my Heart and become my Savior.” Come into My Heart??? Really that is not in the Bible. To Be Saved Jill needed to Believe the Gospel. To Believe Jesus Died, was Buried, and Rose from the Dead to pay for the Penalty of All of Her Sins.

This Prayer if Believed will Save You: “Jesus I know I am a Sinner that deserves to spend Eternity in Hell. I Believe the Gospel that You Jesus Died in my Place. You were Buried and Rose from the Dead to Pay for All of My Sins. Jesus Please Save Me. I accept you as my Savior.”

Exposing Lost False Teacher Peter Sturgis Ruckman.

I first discovered Dr. Peter S. Ruckman in 1984. I have read a lot of what he has written and have heard and seen him preach numerous times. I went to his Church briefly. I think he was great in his defense of the AV 1611 KJV Bible. His chalk talk sermons were very original and mostly good.

If you are a person like me who has read a lot of Dr. Ruckman’s books, heard a huge amount of his preaching… Than you know he beats a dead horse better than anyone. He is very, very, very repetitive.

I find it extremely Hypocritical of people who are followers of Dr. Ruckman, that get Hateful, even violent, anytime he is questioned. They cannot dispute the criticism given so they lash out with Extreme Vile Hate.

It is so hypocritical because no person who ever lived (In my opinion) has been more critical and vocal in lashing out at people he disagreed with than Dr. Peter S. Ruckman.

He was full of himself with such pride. He loved to pat himself on the back. In his sermons he would demand that people shout Amen at him. “What are you all asleep? If you will not say Amen…. I will!!! Amen. Amen. Amen.

He repeated himself over and over and over again in each of his commentaries. Try reading one of his longer books a Bible Commentary and you can skip at least 25% of the book because it is him repeating the same stuff he has said at least a few hundred times in his other books. He goes on the same long rants in his books that really have nothing to do with the topic at hand. These rants are directed at people he disagrees with.

The purpose for these rants is to heap praise on himself….. “I am more intelligent than anyone else.”

He should have just written one book with all of these rants in it. He could have called it: My analysis of the errors of Christian Scholarship. And the errors of celebrated Lost People.

I do not think repeating the same rants over and over and over again was driven by anything other than his own ego. Something that may be true doesn’t need to be repeated in many different Bible Commentaries. This is redundant.

The biggest issue I have with Dr. Ruckman is his False Dispensationalism. His False Gospel, the Same False Gospel of Jack Chick. He teaches up to 12 different plans of Salvation. He also contradicts himself on almost everything if you are well read up on what he has written and have listened to and or watched his sermons.

Dr. Ruckman has a booklet the ABC’s of Salvation which I think is one of the best explanations of how to be Saved. But he also has another book: Soul Winning. In this book he teaches Lordship Salvation.

He talks about using Chick Tracts and how he really loves them. He also talked about a Tract from John R. Rice… which I do not think is in print any longer, I could not find it.

In this book of his on Soul Winning he said he was in a barber shop once. That there were several other men in the barber shop that were looking at a Kinsey Sex book… (Right now I will say I doubt this ever happened. The time this was to have happened would have been in the 70’s maybe the 80’s not later. Not once in my life have I ever been out in public and seen men anywhere openly looking at pornography and being rude and crude over it.)

Dr. Ruckman said he thought of just getting up and leaving even without his haircut being done. But he finished getting his hair cut. And as he was leaving he said: “I told those guys they needed to Repent, they need to stop their sinful ways or they would all go to Hell.” He told them to Repent of Sin or they will go to Hell. That is what his words meant.

This is 100% Lordship Salvation. When I read that book I could not believe that Dr. Ruckman would say this, let alone say this in a book on Soul Winning.

His book on Soul Winning did not teach how a person is Saved. It pushed Lordship Salvation. He did not even mention the Gospel in it. It was all about passing out Chick Tracts and telling people to Repent of Sin.

I have been apart of many different KJV only Churches IFB Baptist Churches. I have not seen many KJV only Churches that do not sell Chick Tracts and Fellowship Tract League Tracts both teach Lordship Salvation. (Half of Fellowship Tract League tracts are good the other half teach Lordship Salvation.) While I was in these Churches for nearly 10 years I never heard one Sermon on Repent of Sin. This was in the 1980s and the early 1990s.

I was Saved in 1973 long before I was involved with IFB Baptist Churches. I read the KJV Bible. Plus other Bible Versions back than. When I read Chick Tracts I never connected them with their False Gospel. I think because I knew the Truth my brain was hard wired to the Gospel. I trusted the Pastor’s and the People in these Churches so I did not carefully read Chick Tracts. I have talked with numerous other people that told me they had the same experience.

Over the years I have confronted a bunch of KJV only Pastors about Lordship Salvation. Most of them either believed in Lordship Salvation or they refused to even discuss it.

If you are Saved you should have a serious problem with Dr. Ruckman and with Jack Chick. These False Teachers are responsible for thousands if not Millions of people going to Hell.

False Gospels:

Lordship salvation: “You have to Turn from your sins in order to be saved.” This is simply not True and is not found in the Bible.

A person is saved by believing on Jesus Only. The Gospel by which we are Saved is the Belief that Jesus Died, was Buried and that he Rose again on the 3rd day to pay the entire world’s Sin Debt.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say to be Saved a person has to 1st Turn From Their Sins.

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.”

Peter S. Ruckman Love him or Hate him. People In the ministry Hate Dr. Ruckman. They rejoiced in his Death. The main issue is over the AV 1611 KJV Bible.

These people Hate Dr. Ruckman because they could not defend their position on the AV 1611 KJV Bible. Dr. Ruckman exposed them for making themselves the final authority over the Bible.

The Fans of Dr. Ruckman have the Same amount of Hatred for anyone that dares to question anything about him. They refuse to be objective.

The quickest way to get Blocked by fans of Dr. Ruckman is to ask them to be objective and to see the Flaws, Faults he had.

Ruckmanites are a Cult. They proudly call themselves Ruckmanites. How is this different than being a Calvinist? It is no different because they believe Calvinist False Doctrines. Most Ruckmanites are Calvinist, despite the fact most of them will not admit it.

When you put Dr. Ruckman ahead of Jesus you are not a Christian you are a Ruckmanite. Everyone who calls themselves a Ruckmanite is putting Dr. Ruckman ahead of Jesus.

The Worship that Dr. Ruckman gets is alarming.

It is very distressing how people will Worship men. Dr. Ruckman Worship is not a first. Most popular and noted Pastor’s have a multitude of people who Worship them. I find that people put their Pastor on a pedestal and refuse to ever question him. (Her for wicked people who will be in a Church with a Female Pastor.)

When you question someone like Dr. Ruckman the fangs of people immediately come out. I have never found a Ruckmanite that would be Civil when I tried to talk about things Dr. Ruckman was wrong about. Interestingly enough they are unable to use the Bible they claim to Believe to defend Dr. Ruckman’s False and Contradictory Bible teachings.

What they do is Attack me. “How DARE YOU question Dr. Ruckman.” “You think you know the Bible better than him?” Their go to position is “Well Dr. Ruckman is the greatest defender of the AV 1611 KJV that there ever was. How can you question him.”

Just because a person is correct about one thing does not mean that they are never wrong. When you cannot use the Bible to defend a False Teaching you believe. And you have to say “Well he defended the AV 1611 KJV Bible…” you are just Worshiping a man.

Dr. Ruckman’s False Teachings are sending people to Hell. He taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin, to Repent of Sin.

I was blocked by a Ruckmanite Pastor, who said that Dr. Ruckman never taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. I provided indisputable proof to him. He rejected the proof saying I was making too much of it. That it was wrong of me to say that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. Even when he said it over and over again in his book Theological Studies Volume 2 Chapter 54 “Repentance.”

When people reject published proof they are Frauds. Almost everyday I provide written proof, video proof to people who are supporting a False Doctrine, a False Teacher. If you are given the published evidence that proves you are wrong you need to be an adult and say: “OK you just proved it.”

Almost no one will admit they are wrong even after they are proven 100% to be wrong. They will just Block you. Ignore, Avoid you.

This person I am talking about said I was wrong and denied all the evidence I showed him. He did not deny that the information I provided was true. He said it just did not matter. He made me out to be the Bad Guy for saying that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. He said so what he taught the truth too.

Satan mixes Truth with Lies. A person that sometimes Teaches Salvation correctly but also will later teach Repent of Sin, Works Salvation, they are not Saved they are a False Teacher. Any Saved person will Never Teach Works as a part of Salvation.

Most people know that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin, and they agree.

The Bible does not teach that Repent means to Turn from Sin. To defend his False Teaching that Repent means to Turn from Sin. Dr. Ruckman adds Turn from Sin to the Bible.

Word for word, from his book on Theology: “Gospel Repentance” is turning from Sin and turning to God. It is best illustrated in Acts 20:21, where Paul said:

Acts 20:21 “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Sin is not mentioned at all in Acts 20:21. It does not say to Turn from Sin.

Dr. Ruckman is adding Turn from Sin to this verse. He is a Hypocrite who endlessly screams about people adding and taking away words from the Bible. He is just like them adding words to the Scriptures and taking away words.

In this same Chapter Dr. Ruckman defines Repent as to change your mind which is correct. Like I said Dr. Ruckman constantly contradicted himself.

Let’ look at this more. So the verse: “… repentance toward God, (a change of mind from unbelief in God to belief), and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”

John 3:16 is saying the same thing as Acts 20:21.

To be Saved a person must believe:

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.”

The essence is: Believe in God, and put your Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, to Save you.

Exactly what Acts 20:21 is saying. If you do not see this your mind is Blinded.

Dr. Ruckman adds Turning from Sin to Acts 20:21.

The Bible is very repetitive. The entire theme of the Bible is Jesus was sent by God to Save the world from the Penalty of all their Sins. Believe in God and put your Faith in Jesus to Save you.

Another passage saying the same thing:

1st John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Bible Salvation Bible Verses:

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:

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.

Every time in the Bible a person is told to Believe on Jesus to be Saved. No place in the Bible does it say to Repent of Sin to be Saved.

FYI In the Bible God Repents more than anyone. God does not Sin.

Repentance has nothing to do with Sin.

God Repents in the Bible more than anyone else. God does not Sin.

Every time God Repents he changes his mind.

When a Person Believes on Jesus they have just Repented because they Changed their mind from Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus.

More Salvation Bible Verses.

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.

The Bible is Clear. A Person is Saved by Believing on Jesus. A person only goes to Hell for Rejecting Jesus. Because of their Unbelief in Jesus. No One goes to Hell for Sin.

In the included video starting at 10:00 minutes Dr. Ruckman teaches that Repent means to Turn from Sin.

Jesus Said, I Never Knew You: Depart from me…

The 7 Words No One Wants To Hear: I Never Knew You: Depart From Me…

Matthew Chapter 7 is twisted by False Teachers to Teach a Works based Salvation.

Matthew 7:23 “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Why did Jesus not know them? Because they were not Saved. They never Asked Jesus to Save them. They Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation. They were trusting in their own Self-Righteousness to get them into Heaven.

John Chapter 10 explains their Rejection perfectly.

John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.

24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jesus did plainly say that he was the promised: Christ, the Messiah. He was daily reading in the Temple proclaiming he was the Messiah foretold in the scriptures. Jesus Preached his coming Kingdom everywhere he went. Jesus Declared himself God and King.

John Chapter 5 is a perfect example.

John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus was Crucified because he Claimed to be the Christ, the Messiah foretold in the Scriptures. Verse 18 is clear the Jews sought to Kill Jesus because he said he was God.

Jesus Daily made it clear that he was God in the Flesh that came to Save the World from their Sins.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

Right here in verse 14 Jesus is Telling the People that he would be Crucified. Moses put a serpent on a wooden stick and lifted it high so everyone could see. The people who looked upon it were Saved.

Numbers 21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

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.

John 3:14-18 are Jesus own words describing how he came to Save the World. Everyone who Believes in Jesus will be immediately Saved.

The Jews in Chapter 10 are the same Jews that are here in Chapter 5. Like all Unbelievers / False Teachers, from the past and from today they instantly Rejected the Truth when it was told to them. They endlessly asked Jesus to keep repeating himself. They constantly badgered Jesus with the same questions.

All throughout the Gospels. These Unbelievers and the False Religious Leaders (the Sadducees and the Pharisees) continuously demanded Jesus to submit to their Authority. They Rejected Jesus as the Messiah. Today is no different. “Christian” Churches Reject Jesus as The Savior. They add Works to the Gospel. “You must Repent of your Sins to be Saved.” “You have to be Baptized to be Saved.” “You have to speak in tongues to prove you are Saved.” And on and on and on with False Conditions to Salvation…

John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

Verses 19-21 Explain Jesus relationship with God the Father. Jesus is God the Son, the second member of the Holy Trinity. God is one God in 3 Person’s. We see that Jesus is equal to God the Father. Whatever God the Father does, Jesus can do too. It is important to know that God knows we can not comprehend this.

1st Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

Jesus being God in the flesh is a great mystery. Our human minds can not process this. This is why Christianity is called the Christian Faith. It takes Faith to Believe this, to Believe the Bible. The Truth of the Bible is proven through Historical Facts. Jesus life, Crucifixion, and resurrection are all Historical facts.

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Verses 22, 23 Jesus is saying he is God. The Jews present understood this.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Verse 24 Is a Salvation, Eternal Life verse. The Bible teaches a person is Saved by Believing Jesus Words given to us in the Bible. What words in particular? In particular Believe on me, Believe in me. Jesus says this over and over and over again. Jesus’s Apostles his Disciples say this too. Salvation is Belief in Jesus Only to Save You. To Believe the Gospel to Save You.

John Chapter 3 teaches we are Saved by Believing in Jesus. Believing that Jesus came to Save the world. Jesus declared himself to be the promised Messiah. The Old Testament teaches that the Messiah would die for the Sins of the World. Just Read Isaiah 53.

Jesus opened to Isaiah 53 in the Synagogue he said these Scriptures refer to me. Jesus said that he came to fulfill these Scriptures promises. This is exactly why the Jewish Leaders sought to Kill him because Jesus claimed to be the Promised Messiah that would Die for the Sins of the World. They Rejected Jesus and went about working their way to Heaven. The Church Leaders of today are doing the same thing.

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

Jesus’s miracles: feeding thousands of people, healing the sick, raising the Dead were done to Prove that he is God, the Promised Messiah.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

Verses 26-30 Jesus is calling them out for not Believing in him. They are not his Sheep because they have not Believed in him. Jesus is again explaining that he is God who gives Eternal Life, which no one can take away from those who have Believed in him.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

Verses 31-39 The Jews Intended to Stone Jesus to Death. Because he in their words is committing Blasphemy. By calling himself God / the Son of God. In verse 38 even though they want to Murder him, Jesus is pleading with them. To Believe in him because of all of the Miracles he has done. Jesus has Incredible Mercy.

Matthew Chapter 7.

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.

Take the Narrow Gate.
Take the Narrow Gate

People (People who claim to be Christians) do not understand verses 13 and 14. There are numerous illustrations of the Straight Narrow Path to Heaven, and the Wide Broad Path to Hell. None of these illustrations come close to getting it right. The typical illustration is the Broad Path (The way to Hell) being 3 times wider than the Narrow Path leading to Heaven. No that is not close to right. (The illustration I found above is just equal paths. That illustration is just showing that you have to make a Choice to either Accept Jesus and Go to Heaven or to Reject Jesus and Go to Hell. It shows 1 person on the Narrow Path and a lot of people on the Wide Path which is accurate.)

The Narrow Path in a more realistic Biblical illustration would be a Narrow River 3 feet wide just a stream. While the Broad Path would be the Pacific Ocean. Yes this is what Jesus is saying. Vs. 14 “…and few there be that find it.”

Few is an incredibly small number. Jesus wants Everyone to know that of the Billions of people that are Born from the Beginning of time to the End of time there will be Few people that get Saved. My Belief is that A Million or Two Million people of everyone who has ever been born will be Saved. Everyone Else Will Go to Hell / The Lake of Fire because they Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

Most Pastors / Bible Teachers (Almost all of these people are Lost) Act like the Numbers are: (Let’s say that 10 Billion is the total number of people who will have ever lived.) out of 10 Billion People 7 Billion will go to Hell / the Lake of Fire. And 3 Billion will go to Heaven. That is not what Few means. That is still a huge number of Saved people.

Another example would be: A mother tells her son that he can open the new bag of Candy. (The Bag is marked, 500 pieces of candy.) You can have a few pieces, do not take more than 3. That is what a Few means. 3 out of 500 is a Few. As the number grows the ratio stays small like a Million or Two Million out of 10 Billion. In this case the number of a Million or Two million would be Few. Even though a Million taken by itself is a Large Number.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Verses 15-20 are twisted to teach Works Salvation. The entire context is in verse 15: “Beware of False Prophets…” everything in verses 15-20 is talking about False Prophets not anyone else.

These False Teachers are Corrupt. Jesus contrasts them with a Good Tree, which is a God called Preacher / Pastor / Teacher. These Good Ministers of God will Bring forth Good Fruit, Good Works. But the False Teachers can not produce anything but Bad Fruit, Bad Works, because they are not Saved.

Verses 15-20 does not teach that people have to Do Good Works to go to Heaven. That a Person can do enough Good Works to Earn their way to Heaven. These verses are not talking about personal Salvation, about how a person is Saved. Salvation is not even mentioned. Today’s False Teachers put Salvation in these verses when Salvation is never the topic. False Teachers is the topic.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Again False Teachers Twist this verse to Teach Works Salvation. They say see: “…but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” So you have to Work your way to Heaven. You must have enough Good Works to Go to Heaven.

This passage does not say anything about doing Good Works. It says doeth the will of my Father. Here is the Will of God the Father:

John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

1st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Simply put God’s Will is that Everyone would be Saved, to have Eternal Life.

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Verse 22 completely refutes False Teachers that Teach you have to Work your way to Heaven. (Repent of Sin, be Baptized, etc.) Here they are Telling Jesus they should go to Heaven because of all of their Wonderful Works. Because of Everything Good they Did for him. You can do Nothing to Work you Way to Heaven. Salvation is 100% the Work of Jesus Alone.

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jesus reply: I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME…

Jesus clearly was not impressed with their Self-Righteous Good Works. In fact Jesus called their Good Works Iniquity. It is Vile to Say to Jesus, Your Blood Atonement is not Good Enough to get me into Heaven. I will (I have to do) do Good Works to add to your Sacrifice. Jesus Your Blood Atonement is Not Good Enough…

That is the Biggest Insult you could say / do to Jesus. This is Rejecting Jesus as your Savior.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Verses 24-29 Are Jesus explaining that People who Trust in Him Only for Salvation are Wise. Everyone who Rejects Jesus is Foolish.

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel Only for our Salvation. 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:

The 7 Churches In The Book Of Revelation Explained.

Beware Dispensationalist Pervert The 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation. They Pervert Bible Prophecy. God Clearly Warns us not to Add to His Words.

It is almost impossible to Find a Book. A Church. An Evangelist. Christians that understand that the 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation were REAL CHURCHES. Dispensationalist False Theology has corrupted most Churches. Bible Prophecy has become a way to make Billions of dollars. False Teachers get rich selling their False Prophecy Doctrines.

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

This is God Talking Directly to the people who invented Dispensationalist Theology.

God is talking to ALL Dispensationalists. They have ADDED Words to The Book of Revelation, Teachings that are not There. Why else would God have given this Warning? Dispensationalist Have Absolutely ADDED to the Book of Revelation.

This Warning should be enough for you. To not Follow Dispensationalism. To not Spread its False Teachings.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

God Warns Against ADDING or SUBTRATING from His’s Word.

Dispensationalist’s will throw out these verses. Because God is Directly talking to the Jewish people. Let me remind you. That you cannot just throw out Bible verses for any reason.

2nd Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Every Scripture that is about Not Adding To. Not Subtracting From God’s Word. That is about the Truth of God’s Word. Is Always Bible Doctrine for Everyone at any time in History. This should be Crystal Clear to Everyone who Claims to be a Christian.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Matthew 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

In Matthew 22. Jesus is talking to Sadducees. Jewish Religious Leaders.

Leaders who had the Authority over Jewish people who practiced Judaism. They taught the Scriptures. And devoted their Lives to reading and following the Scriptures. Jesus is calling them out for their IGNORANCE OF THE SCRIPTURES.

This applies to everyone who claims to be a Christian Pastor. An Evangelist. To Any man who is Teaching the Scriptures in an official capacity. They  all have a responsibility to know what they are talking about.

No, marriage in Heaven is an established Bible Truth. This is what Jesus is telling the Sadducees. The Counterfeit Christian Church gets this Wrong today too. They think there will be marriages in Heaven. Within the Resurrected Christian Church. Today’s Modern day Pharisees and Sadducees. 

To follow Dispensationalism after seeing how they ADD to the Bible. Is Asking for God’s Judgment against you.

There were Seven Real Churches that the Apostle John wrote to.

Dispensationalist, ignore that these were Seven Real Churches. They Pervert the Scriptures. Turning each letter written to a real Church into a period of time. That describes the Christian Church through Fictional Church Ages. 

The Letters to the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation

Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

When you read the Bible. 

It is essential to know who the passage is being written to. Some Bible Doctrine is a Universal Truth that applies to everyone. Four examples are: God is One God in Three Persons. Jesus is God. There is only one True Gospel in the Bible. And God Hates Sin. Some Doctrine. Applies only to the People the Scripture was written to. If you cannot apply Doctrine from a passage to you. It will still have a spiritual application. The Bible tells us the true History of God’s dealing with mankind.

The Bible is full of prophecies. 

The Book of Revelation is a very prophetic book. No one understands completely everything written in it. People need to say I do not understand this passage instead of inventing False Doctrines. These people do not understand because they are Lost False Teachers.

It is important to teach only what the Bible says.

Too many Greedy Writers. Pastors. Preachers and Churches Pervert the Scriptures. They make Billions of dollars Writing Fiction Books. Making Movies. Building Churches etc.

There are prophetic passages in the Letters to the Seven Churches. I heard one Dispensationalist Pastor say. The existence of Seven Real Churches that had the same names as the Churches in Revelation, does not change the Truth of what Dispensationalist teach.

That is like saying. The 10 lost tribes of Israel are the United States of America. Something many Bible Perverters say. Dispensationalist have invented a False Church History. What Dispensationalist teach concerning the Seven Churches is mostly Fiction.

The Term Bible Believer Means Nothing. It is a Self-Righteous Term. It Does not Mean the person. The Church that uses this Term is Saved.  Most people who use this Term are Lost.

IFB Baptist Bible Believers claim the Bible is almost all literal facts. A History of Past, Present, and Future events. The Bible must be read literally. Unless a passage is clearly written as a Parable. As a clear illustration. Bible Believers do not teach the Bible this way though. They are huge Hypocrites. Their adding to the Bible and subtracting from the Bible goes against their own rules.

I have never seen any Church that Adds to the Bible and Subtracts from the Bible more than they do. They throw out whole books of the Bible. Using their Dispensationalist Theology that splits the Bible up. They will say that was written to people in a different Dispensation. So we can ignore those scriptures. Those scriptures do not apply to the Church Age Dispensation.

The Divisions they use, Dispensations, are not in the Bible. They are invented. Just like they have created Fictional Church Ages. That do not exist in the Bible. They are the worst Bible Perverters in the world.

Please understand when you read the Bible. The Bible is a Book of History. What is written in the Bible has happened. Or will happen in the future.

Beware of Dispensationalist False Doctrines. They teach that the letters to the Seven Real Churches in Asia Minor. (Modern day Turkey.) In Revelation 2 and 3 represent Seven Ages of Church History. Guess what this is not found in the Bible. It is made up.

The view that these Seven Churches. Represent Seven consecutive periods in the History of the Church. Has no basis in fact.

Simply put. The Bible does not say. Or even imply. That the letters to the Seven Churches. Is about Seven Future periods of Church History.

Nobody is able to accurately pinpoint. When each invented Age began and ended. Variations in the conclusions. And in charts of different expositors. Prove that there is no consensus among them.

Different suggestions. Have been put forward. Some expositors try to find ecclesiastical organizations. And movements in some of these stages. Thus trying to insert too much prophesy into it.  All attempts at this are speculative and subjective. There is no objective hermeneutical guideline in reaching their conclusions. Their speculations are not Biblical.

It is Heresy. To label and identify the Seven Churches as relating to specific Time Periods in History.

The Scriptures do not say. That the Seven Candlesticks are Seven Church Ages. It clearly says that the Candlesticks are Seven Real Churches. Churches that existed at that time.

John Walvoord, a respected prophetic scholar. Admits that, “The prophetic interpretation of the messages to the Seven Churches, to be sure, should not be pressed beyond bounds. As it is a deduction from the content. Not from the explicit statement of the passage.” (The Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 52.)

J. Allen also admits. That, “sometimes prophetic interpretation can be pressed too far. And owe much to the imagination of the commentator.”

In support of the prophetic view. He writes, “To deny its existence. (In the book of Revelation.) Is to exclude a line of thought. That Christ meant to become clearer. As the age moves to its climax. His coming for the church.” (Revelation, 13:8.)

C. I. Scofield. Clarence Larkin. And numerous other Writers. Invented / invent things out of thin air about the Seven Churches. Fables you cannot find in the Bible anywhere.

Dispensationalist are “Bible Believers?” No They Are Liars. That Add To And Subtract from the Bible.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 

The Seven Churches were REAL Churches. That existed at the time John wrote the Seven letters to them.

Each letter was a Specific Message to a Real Church. Some of these Churches. Had a closer relationship with Jesus than others. Jesus gave each one a short “report card.”

Ephesus:

“…thou hast left thy first love…”

They lost their first love for Jesus Christ. Which in turn affected the love they had for others.

Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Smyrna:

Was warned it was about to face persecution.

Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Pergamum:

Had fallen prey to a cult called the Nicolaitans. Heretics who taught that since their bodies were evil. Only what they did with their spirit counted. This led to sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols.

Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

Thyatira:

Had Jezebel a False Prophetess who was leading people astray.

Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Sardis:

Had the reputation of being dead, or asleep.

Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Some of the passages written to Sardis are not just Historical. They are talking about the Great Tribulation.

Verse 3 “… If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

Verse 3 is difficult. It could be talking about about the Rapture of the Church or it could be talking about the Rapture that happens during the Great Tribulation.

Verse 5 “… I will not blot out his name out of the book of life…”

Right Now in the Christian Church. A person has Eternal Life and their name cannot be Blotted out of the Book of Life.

During the Great Tribulation. A person who was Left Behind can Believe on Jesus. And have their name written in the Book of Life. When people who went to Church see they have missed the Rapture. Some of them will Believe the Gospel. Even people who never went to Church but knew about the Rapture. Some of these people will also Believe the Gospel.

Any of these people. If they take the Mark of the Beast. Than their name will be Blotted out of the Book of Life.

In the Great Tribulation there is No Eternal Security. Because of the Mark of the Beast. Again, if a person who Believed the Gospel takes the Mark of the Beast. There name will be Blotted out of the Book of Life. Because they took The Mark of the Beast.

A person is Saved the Same way in the Great Tribulation. By Believing the Gospel only. As we are today. In fact, there is only one plan of Salvation in the Bible.

They do not have Eternal Security. Because at any time they can take the Mark of the Beast. It is not a Works Based Salvation. Because No Work they have Done will get them into Heaven. Not taking the Mark of the Beast is not a Work.

Taking the Mark of the Beast is Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. The only unforgivable Sin.

People who take the Mark of the Beast. Are Claiming Satan is the real Jesus Christ. Making Jesus Works the Works of Satan. Which is what Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is.

Philadelphia:

This Church had a little strength. And kept God’s word. They did not deny Jesus name.

Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Historical:

The Synagogue of Satan is mentioned twice in Revelation. Once in Jesus’ letter to the first-century church in Smyrna. And once to the church in Philadelphia. In both cases, the Synagogue of Satan is opposed to the mission and message of the Church.

To the church in Smyrna. Jesus says. “I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9).

To the church of Philadelphia in Asia Minor. Jesus says. “I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you” (Revelation 3:9).

In short. The Synagogue of Satan. Was a group of unbelieving Jews. Who were Persecuting Christians.

These groups were guilty of Slandering the church in Smyrna. And opposing the Church in Philadelphia.

The majority of the persecution the New Testament Church faced. Came from the Jewish community. Even most of the Roman persecution. Was an effort to appease the Jewish authorities.

This is true of Pilate’s condemnation of Jesus. (John 19:1–16.) And Paul’s imprisonment by the Roman governors Felix. (Acts 24:27.) And Festus. (Acts 25:16.) This pattern held true throughout the Roman world in the first century.

As long as Christians were considered a sect of Judaism. They were Safe from Roman persecution.

They were exempt. From the required observance. Of certain aspects of Roman state religion. However, as Christians were expelled from synagogues. And denounced by the Jewish leadership. Rome began to see Christianity as a new religion. That did not have these same exemptions. Therefore, Christians outside the protective umbrella of the synagogue. Were open to Roman persecution.

The Synagogue of Satan say they are Jews. (The people of God.) And they Persecute those who Believe in Jesus the Messiah. In reality, by rejecting Jesus The Jewish Messiah. They have renounced their status as “True” Jews. That is why Jesus calls them “liars.”

This distinction between ethnic Jews. And faithful Jews. Is also seen in Romans 9:6. (“Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.”) And Romans 2:28–29. (“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter.”)

By their Persecution of the True people of God. These unbelieving Jews had become a Synagogue of Satan. A gathering of people who were actually following Satan’s wishes.

Laodicea:

Had Lukewarm Faith. Its members had grown complacent. Because of the riches of the city.

Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

The Laodicea Church Period. Is said to be happening Right Now.

At this Current time in Church History. I do not buy it. The Bible does not say this. Today’s Church is much, worse than the Laodicea Church was. Jesus questioned if there would be “ANY FAITH” on the earth. When he returned. Talking about the Rapture of the Church.

The Laodicea Church was Lukewarm. Not Ice Cold. Like the Church is today. Today people get Saved. Go to a Church that does not preach the Bible. And live like the devil the rest of the week.

Luke 18:8 “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”

Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

This famous verse is not talking about Jesus knocking on the door of the Lost. Jesus is knocking on the door of the Laodicea Church. Because they are so far from him. That he is knocking on their doors saying. “Hey let me into your Church.” “I want to fellowship with you.”

Dispensationalist reject that these Letters were written to the real Churches in Asia Minor.

They Invent, ADD to the Bible, their own Fables about these Seven Real Churches.

They say the message to the Church in Ephesus. Is really to the Church Period at the end of the Apostolic age. Please show this to me in the Bible. Where is that in the Bible? FYI it is not in the Bible.

The letter to the Church in Smyrna. Represents the “Period of the great persecutions to A.D. 316.” Where is this in the Bible? It is not in the Bible.

The letter to the Church in Pergamos. Represents “The church under imperial favour. Settled in the world, A.D. 316 to the end.” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Thyatira. Represents “A.D. 500-1500. The triumph of Balaamism and Nicolaitanism. A believing remnant (vs. 24-28.)” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Sardis. Represents “The period of the Reformations. A believing remnant (vs. 4, 5.)” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to the Church in Philadelphia. Represents “The true church. The church that preaches the Gospel.” The Church period right before the church becomes Lukewarm. Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Laodicea. Represents the final state of Apostasy in the church. The current Church Age we are now living in. Where is this in the Bible?

This Heresy is not found in the Word of God. It is complete Fiction written by men not by God.

These Seven Letters to the Seven Churches are exactly that. The churches were named. “1 The church at Ephesus.” “2 The church at Smyrna.” “3 The church at Pergamos.” “4 The church at Thyatira.” “5 The church at Sardis.” “6 The church at Philadelphia.” And “7 The church at Laodicea.”

These Seven Churches had problems like all churches do. The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle John to write letters to these churches. To help the churches get straightened out. Would somebody please show me in the Bible. Where these Seven Letters represent The Seven Invented Church Ages. Of Church History Claimed by Dispensationalist?

Please Ask Jesus to Save You. If you have not already. Believe the Gospel Only To Be Saved.

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:

1st John 1:9. Repent of Sin?

1st John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

John was speaking to a Church filled with unbelievers in 1st John.

John exposes Gnosticism a Heretical Counterfeit Christianity.

Gnosticism was a False Teaching going around which Denied the Deity of Jesus Christ. They Denied Jesus was God. They Denied the Gospel. Jesus suffered in the flesh for mankind. Jesus paid for the Sins of the World  Died was Buried and He Rose again on the 3rd day. They Denied the Existence of Sin.

Many variations in beliefs existed among the different Gnostic sects. 

Dualism: Gnostics believed that the world was divided into the physical and spiritual realms. The created, material world (matter) is evil. Is in opposition to the world of the spirit. Only the spirit is good. Adherents of Gnosticism often constructed an evil, lesser god. And beings of the Old Testament to explain the creation of the world. They considered Jesus Christ a lessor god.

God: Gnostic writings often describe God as incomprehensible and unknowable. This idea conflicts with Christianity’s concept of a personal God who desires a relationship with human beings. Gnostics also separate the inferior god of creation from the superior god of redemption.

Salvation: Gnosticism claims hidden knowledge as the basis for Salvation. Adherents believe that Secret Revelation frees the “divine spark” within humans. Allowing the human soul to return to the divine realm of light in which it belongs. Gnostics, thus, divided Christians into two categories. With one group being Carnal (Inferior) and the other being Spiritual (Superior).

Only the Superior, Divinely Enlightened persons could comprehend the Secret Teachings and obtain True Salvation. This is very similar to Calvinism’s denial that Man has a Free Will. In both Religions mankind is incapable of the Free Will to Accept Jesus. Or to Deny Jesus as their Savior.

Christianity Teaches:

Salvation is available to everyone. Not just A Special Selected Few. Salvation comes from Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ Alone. Not from human effort, Works. The only source of Truth is the Bible.

Ephesians 2:8 “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.”

Gnosticism was infiltrating the early church.

The church John was writing to had Gnostic believers in the church. Who were actively trying to deceive people.

1st John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

1st John Refutes the False Teaching that Sin does not Exist.

In 1st John 1:5-10, John is addressing people who don’t believe in the existence of sin. 

1st John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Two key verses that gives context to 1st John 1:9

1st John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1:10 “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”

1st John 1:9 is not teaching Repent of Sin to be Saved, to Stay Saved. It is teaching that people who Deny they are Sinners are Lost. To Confess Sin is just Admitting that you are in fact a Sinner.

Confess / Confessing, Meaning

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

(vs. 9) Confessing with the mouth the Lord Jesus is to say: “Yes I Stand with Jesus. I Believe in Jesus.” Confess / Confession means to Acknowledge something. To Admit / Acknowledge that you are a Sinner. To Confess, Acknowledge that you are a Believer in Jesus. A public Confession is not mentioned, is not Required. These Confessions are to Jesus. They are a Prayer, a Conversation between you and Jesus.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(vs. 10) You have to Ask Jesus to Save you. Again a Confession is a simple Acknowledgment. YOU MUST ACKNOWLEDGE TO JESUS THAT YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR, to be SAVE.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

(vs. 13) To Call on the name of the Lord is a Prayer to Jesus. The only way to talk with Jesus is by Praying to Jesus.

Review

1st John was written to a Church filled with Lost Gnostic’s. Who were corrupting the Church with False Teachings: Jesus is not God. Sin Does Not Exist, You Cannot Sin. The Gospel is a Lie.

A person who does  believe they Sin, that deny the existence of Sin Cannot be Saved. This False Belief undermines the Gospel by removing a need for a Savior. If there is No Sin then there is no need for a Savior. 

Why would you call upon a Savior that you don’t believe you need? 

If you don’t believe in Sin then you don’t believe you need the Blood of Jesus to Cleanse you from Sin. You do not need his Death, Burial and Resurrection to Save you.

This is the description of those who are walking in the Darkness of a Lie. If they were to come into the light by Confessing / Acknowledging their Sin to Jesus. Their Belief in Him, in the Gospel to Save them. Then Jesus would Save them. His Blood would Cleanse them of their Sin.

1st John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

1st John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Jesus cleansed us from “All” Sin. 

Keeping the Law Saved no one. The Law showed mankind that they were Sinners. It showed that Sin caused Death. That the Forgiveness of Sin would require a one time perfect Blood Sacrifice which the Scripture foretold. The Scriptures taught the Messiah would come to Save them from their Sins, Isaiah 53.

Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Jesus Christ’s One Sacrifice was Enough to Completely Remove All Your Sins for All of Time.

If you Believe in Jesus: Acknowledge Him As Your Savior / Confess You ARE A SINNER to Jesus in Prayer, Asking Jesus to Save you. Jesus will immediately Save you.

1 John 1:7 – 9 are clear references to someone who is Lost. That if they would Acknowledge their Sin and their Need for Jesus as their Savior. God who is Faithful would then Forgive them. And Cleanse them of All of their Sins. Forgiven for all time!

Jesus is our Advocate. 1st John 2:1-2 says: 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

That, when you do Sin you have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. 

An Advocate is someone who speaks on your behalf and pleads your innocence. Jesus Christ is the perfect one to do this for us because in Him we have become perfect. Jesus Blood has removed All our Sin for all time.

Therefore No Sin can ever be counted against us. We have a new legal status in Christ that says “Not Guilty”, “Not Condemned.” Jesus is our Advocate our Defense that pleads our legal status, Not Guilty.

So, 1st John 1:9 Simply means: In order for a person to call on Jesus Christ as their Savior to be Born Again they must first Acknowledge that they are a Sinner that needs Jesus as their Savior. Once they do that then He is faithful to forgive them and cleanse them of all unrighteousness.

If you read the entire Book of 1st John. You will understand what 1st John 1:9 is saying.

1st John makes verse 1:9 clear. It is Abundantly clear that it is not saying to a Believer that they have to be continually Forgiven and Cleansed of their Sins Daily.

Since this completely undermines what the Book of 1st John is saying. It tears out the very heart of the Gospel. The One Time Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for All Sin. It is a Salvation verse to unbelievers who do not Believe in Sin and therefore do not cry out to Jesus to be their Savior to Forgive and Cleanse them of All Sin.

Explaining Lordship Salvation.

A Perversion of the Gospel Lordship Salvation:

2nd Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Lordship Salvation is an unscriptural Teaching regarding the doctrine of Salvation and is Confusing. Those who teach it claim that one must make Jesus Lord of their life in order to be Saved.

They use such expressions as, “You cannot Receive Jesus as Savior without Receiving Him as Lord,” or, “If Jesus Christ is not the Lord of your life, then you are not saved.” “If Jesus is not Lord of All than he is not Lord at all.

Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”

Beware of man-made Religions. Beware of False plans of Salvation. False Gospel’s.

Galatians 1:11 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) 2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

The Bible teaches Salvation by Grace through Faith, Alone.

Ephesians 2:8 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. 

Those who teach Lordship salvation say: It is not enough to trust Jesus Christ Alone to Save You. You Must also make Him Lord of your life in order to be Saved. This kind of teaching frustrates the grace of God and is called in the Bible “Another Gospel.”

Another Gospel Which Is Not Another In verse 6, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into grace of Christ unto another gospel.”

Paul contrasts the Gospel of the grace of God with “Another Gospel.” “Another-Different from the one we preach.”

To paraphrase the verse, “I marvel that you are so soon removed from him who called you unto the grace of Christ unto a Different Gospel which is not like the one we preach.”

“There be some that trouble you” (vs. 7). The Preaching of Another Gospel Troubles people. He also calls it: A Perversion of the Gospel of the Grace of God. Then: A Very Strong Warning in verse 8: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed [or “Let Him be Damned”].

Emphasized Again in verse 9: “As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach another gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed [or “Let Him be Damned”].

“I marvel; (I am Startled, I Can’t Believe) that you are so soon removed from the Gospel of the grace of Christ unto another gospel.” 

The Gospel of the Grace of Jesus Christ is one thing. Another Gospel would be Anything that Contradicts the Teaching of Salvation by Grace Through Faith Alone in Jesus Christ’s Death, Burial and Resurrection for the Salvation of our Souls.

If Any Person Preaches that a person is Saved by the Gospel, then adds Something Else to The Gospel. What they are Actually Saying Is: Jesus Sacrifice His Atonement IS NOT ENOUGH. YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.

IF JESUS WAS ENOUGH THAN WHY DO THEY TELL YOU:

You Must Repent of Your Sins! You Must Give Your Life to Jesus! You Must Forsake Your Sins! You Must Surrender Your Life to Jesus! You Must Make Jesus The Lord of Your Life! All of this is adding to Salvation. Saying Jesus is not Enough to Save you.

They are Adding Man’s Good Works to Salvation. This False Teaching Contradicts the Gospel of the Grace of God. They are saying to be Saved you have to Stop Sinning. You must make a contract with God to agree to Stop Sinning to be Saved. This is exactly what they are Saying.

I could not put it any better than Romans 11:6, “And if by grace, then it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”

Salvation cannot be by Grace and Works. It has to be Either Grace or Works. Most people have a poor concept of Grace.

Grace is the Unmerited, Undeserved Favor of God toward Hell-Deserving Sinners.

There is so much unneeded Confusion over the Doctrine of Salvation.

If you ask the next ten people you see, “How does a person get to Heaven?” you might get ten different answers. And it is very likely that none would be correct.

In the final analysis, there are only two plans of salvation that are taught by all religions. One is that Man Saves Himself / Herself. The Other is that Jesus Saves Men / Women.

Lordship salvationist say that Man saves Himself / Herself by Reforming. By cleaning up His / Her Life before Salvation is possible. In order to Merit Salvation; people must agree, promise to keep the Ten Commandments before Salvation.

Said another You Must Agree to be Obedient, to not wilfully Sin. The problem is that every Sin we commit is will full. We Sin because we want to Sin. We do not accidentally Sin. We Sin because we WANT TO SIN.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. vs 12) To Endure Temptation means a conscience decision. A person decides not to Sin.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: vs 13) This destroys the Calvinist Teaching that God is in Control. God does not cause people to Sin. God does not Control us.

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. vs14) See!!! This is CLEAR. WHEN WE SIN IT IS OUR OWN DECISION! OUR OWN LUST!

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

We Sin because we Lust, Desire to Sin. ALL SIN IS A WILFULL ACT.

1st John 1: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

Lordship Salvationist claim they do not Sin. That they are Sinless since their Salvation. God calls them Liars.

Those who teach Lordship salvation claim that Man Saves Himself / Herself by making Jesus The Lord of their life.

Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ: for it [the Gospel] is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that behaves…”? No, “…to every one that believeth.”

The only thing you can do with the Gospel is Accept it – Believe it. Or to Reject it. Not to Believe it.

The Gospel is the Good News of how Jesus Christ came to this earth. How He Died on a Cross in our place for our Sins. How he was Buried and Rose again the third day. That is the Gospel.

Believing The Gospel Saves us from Hell.

Jesus Loves Sinners. He Died in the Sinner’s place to completely Pay the Sinner’s Sin Debt. He was Buried and after three days God raised Him from the Dead to show His satisfaction with the payment.

An old preacher spoke to a large crowd of young preachers. Before leaving the platform, one young pastor said to him, “Sir, before you leave, give us a word of advice.” The old preacher thought for a moment, then said, “My preacher brethren, make it plain to men how they are to saved.” Far too many preachers are muddying the Gospel. The waters of the grace of God must be kept crystal clear. It disturbs me when preachers scramble the grace of God with works.

“Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you…LET HIM BE DAMNED!”

Something about us religious humans make’s us want to add to the Gospel. We want to help God with our Salvation. If we can’t help Him Save us, we want to help Keep Ourselves Saved.

Adam and Eve gathered fig leaves and sewed them together to make aprons to Cover Their Nakedness, Their Sin. They Knew they had Sinned.

They were happy and well pleased with their fig-leaf religion until God came. Then they were embarrassed with their fig-leaf covering and ran and hid themselves.

God called them unto Himself. Killed an Innocent animal (a picture of the substitutionary death of Jesus), took the skin from the animal and made coats for Adam and Eve.

He didn’t let them keep one single fig leaf of their own making.

Salvation is of the Lord.

You may be satisfied to stand before men with your False Religion. But are you going to be satisfied when you stand before Jesus?

Remember, Jesus Died on the Cross. Loaded down with your Sins. So He could Save you from the Penalty of your Sin, which is Hell! Jesus Saves from Hell.

There is no promise in the Bible to those who partially believe on Jesus Christ; one must Trust in Him Alone and nothing else.

Those who teach Lordship salvation say, “If you do not give over the Control of your Life to Jesus Christ at the moment of Salvation, you are not Saved.”

Must There Be a Commitment to Christ as the Lord of One’s Life in Order to Be Saved?

Those who teach Lordship salvation say that you cannot divorce His Saviourhood from His Lordship. You can’t Accept Him as Saviour without accepting Him as the Lord of your Life. Unless Jesus Christ is Lord of your Life, you are not Saved.

When you question these same people, you discover that Jesus is not Lord of their lives. I asked one who taught Lordship salvation, “Has Jesus been Lord of your life since the day you trusted Him as your Saviour? Has there ever been a time since you were saved when Jesus has not been the absolute Lord of your life?”

He hesitated a moment, then said, “Well, He has always been Lord, but there have been times when I didn’t obey Him.”

When we don’t obey Him, He is not Lord or Boss. When we are in control, Jesus cannot be in control.

In Luke 6:46 Jesus said, “And why ye call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” It is inconsistent to call Him “Lord, Lord,” and not do what He says.

When this man I mentioned realized that Jesus had not been Lord of his life, he rephrased his statement: “Well, I am not saying that you must absolutely make Him Lord of your life in order to be saved, but there must be a willingness to be controlled by the Lord at the time of salvation in order to be saved.”

If there must be a willingness for Jesus to have Absolute Control over one’s Life in order to be Saved, what happens when we disobey and Sin?

If it is Salvation by Grace through Faith, as the Scriptures declare, then it is not Salvation by Grace through Faith Plus Surrender, or Plus Anything Else.

It is Salvation by Grace through Faith. PERIOD!

Surrendering your Life to Jesus is NOT a requirement for Salvation. It is Works. An Ugly, Dirty, Wicked Thing that frustrates the Wondrous Grace of God!

Bible Examples of Uncommitted Believers

King David is an example of one who had definite lapses in his Surrender in his Commitment to God. David’s life was full of major Sin. He committed Adultery with Bathsheba.

David was the King at the time. He sent Uriah, Bathsheba’s husband, into battle and had him Killed. This is not acceptable for Lordship Salvation Theology. This is Will Full Sin. This is not Obeying God.

David’s life was not fully Committed to God when he Sinned: Adultery and Murder! So, in King David’s committed life to God, he definitely had lapses. If Total Surrender to Jesus Christ was a Prerequisite for Salvation, then? David God’s Anointed, was not Saved? Lost his Salvation until he Totally Surrendered again? No he didn’t Lose it! The Bible doesn’t teach we can Lose our Salvation.

According to Psalm 51:12, David Lost the Joy of his Salvation. He did not Lose his Salvation.

Psalm 51:12 “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”

Noah is another example of one Saved by the Grace of God who had Will Full Sin in his Life.

After the Ark landed, Noah got Drunk. In a Drunken Stupor he laid Naked before his sons. Which is forbidden. If Noah had Surrendered and Committed his Life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ when he was Saved, he certainly had a lapses.

You cannot say Jesus Christ was Controlling Noah’s life when he got Drunk and Naked! Noah was Controlling his own Life. You can’t Blame his Immoral Conduct his Sins on the Lord.

Scriptures That Refute Lordship Salvation.

1st Corinthians 12:3 says, “…no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” Now keep in mind that one does not have the presence of the Holy Spirit in their life until after they are Saved.

John 3:6 says Believers are “born of the Spirit.” They are sealed by the Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). You cannot call Jesus Lord without the Holy Ghost. If you must call Jesus Lord to get Saved. Why does the Bible Say that Only a Saved person can call Jesus Lord.

Lordship Salvationist twist the Scriptures. Making Jesus the Lord of your Life is not part of Salvation.

Ephesians 4:30 “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”

Everyone who has trusted Jesus has received Him as their Saviour. Has become a son of God. Is therefore a brother to all others who have trusted Jesus as their Saviour.

The yielding of one’s life or making Jesus Lord of one’s life is not a requirement for salvation. That is Lordship salvation A Perversion of the Gospel.

Acts 16:31 “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

This verse does not say: “Make Jesus the Lord of Your Life to be Saved.” Lordship Salvationist Lie and twist the scriptures. It also does not say: “Obey the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”

Our Faith, our Trust, our Dependence must be in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We cannot trust our Good Works. Our Good Life. Surrendering our Lives to Jesus. Our Baptism. Our Church’s Ordinances or anything else. We must Trust Jesus Christ and Him Alone for salvation.

Jesus plainly said, “I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me” (John 14:6).

When the Bible says in Acts 16:31, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,” it doesn’t mean you have to make Him Lord of your life. It simply means you must Trust the Lord Jesus Christ ONLY for your Salvation.

Verse after verse in the Bible clearly says that salvation is simply trusting in Jesus Christ.

John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

The person who is trusting in anything other than Jesus Christ ONLY is not Saved. That is The Plain Teaching of the Bible.

The person who claims they are trusting in Jesus Christ plus his ability to yield to the Lordship of Christ, is not fully trusting in Jesus. He is trusting in his own ability not in Jesus Alone. There is no promise to those who trust Jesus Christ plus something else. No matter how good the other thing may seem to be.

When we get to Heaven, we are going to sing:

Revelation 5:9 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

We are not going to sing: ” We are worthy for we have committed and surrendered to the Lordship of Christ.”

When you teach Salvation by Grace through Faith ALONE. That a person is Saved by Simply trusting in Jesus Christ ONLY. Lordship Salvationist will call that “Easy Believism.”

Easy Believism is not in the Bible. It is a man-made expression. It is a slur suggesting Salvation is difficult.

The Bible says Salvation is Simple.

2 Corinthians 11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Salvation through Jesus ONLY IS WHAT JESUS taught. It is Simple. Jesus Warned against False Teachers who would corrupt the Gospel. Who would teach Another Gospel.

It is not easy to get someone to trust Jesus Christ, Him alone, and nothing else for salvation. As matter of fact, that may be the hardest thing in the world to do. Because of all the False Teachers in the world.

The fact that most Church Denominations / Religions teach Works. Ordinances, Sacraments, Baptism or something else for Salvation. Makes it difficult to get a person to Simply Trust in Jesus Christ as Saviour.

The Bible word “Believe” means to depend upon, to rely upon, to trust in. False Teachers Argue using James 2:19, “…the devils also believe, and tremble.”

The Absolute Truth is Jesus did not Die for the Spirit World. For Angels, for Devils. Jesus only Died and offered the free Gift of Salvation to mankind.

Also theses Devils Do Not Trust Jesus Christ as Saviour; they simply admit to His existence. It is one thing to believe an airplane can fly; it is quite another to trust your physical life to the pilot and plane to take you across the nation. To get into the airplane and fly in it.

Those who teach Lordship Salvation say:

“He’s always Lord.” “Lord” comes from the Hebrew word Adonai, meaning “Master.” It also comes from the word Jehovah, the personal name of God.

There are several translations of the word Lord. Jesus is Lord of All. He is everybody’s Lord. He is the tadpole’s Lord, the bumblebee’s Lord, the bullfrog’s Lord, the rattlesnake’s Lord… But that doesn’t mean they are Saved. You cannot make Jesus you Lord. He already is your Lord.

Jesus is the Lord the Master of the whole universe. He can do what He wants to do, when He wants to do it!

Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Does this mean that everyone will be Saved, since the day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord? Of course not.

Jesus is Lord over many things about every individual. The color of my eyes, my height, my parents, etc. The Lord determined who my parents would be. He determined my height, my weight. The size of my ears, nose, the texture and the color of my skin. But one important area of my life where Jesus Gives Me Control is My Will.

Jesus made us free moral agents. We were created with the Free Will to choose. To make choices. He wants us to yield to Him because we want to do so. If we are forced we can never Love Jesus and Serve him because we want to.

The False Teaching Lordship Salvation Confuses people

I am for people trusting Jesus Christ as Saviour who have not already done so, but I am against any teaching that confuses people.

There is no difference between being Saved and “Really Saved.” There is no such thing as degrees in Salvation. No one is More Saved than the other.

John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth upon him.”

Nothing can be Plainer: those who are trusting Jesus Christ Are Saved.

They have Everlasting Life. And those who are not trusting Him Are Not Saved, the Wrath of God abideth on them.

There is no such thing as being dead, deader, and deadest. One is either dead or alive, saved or lost, guilty or justified, believing or not believing there is no in-between.

The condemned criminal is the one who has been arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced. The Bible says the man who is trusting Jesus Christ is not under the sentence; he is not condemned.

John 3:18 “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.”

Everyone who is not trusting Jesus Christ is condemned. Why? Because they have “not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Why do “Christians” supposedly get “really saved” under the preaching of Lordship salvation? Because they believe in the preacher.

If I believed that one must make Jesus Lord of their life in order to be Saved. Then I would go forward every time I heard a sermon on Salvation. And get Saved over and over and over again. Because there have been times when I have been a disobedient child. Times when I have yielded to my old carnal nature.

The problem is, those who go forward and supposedly really get saved will have the same problem again later because they are not going to live a perfect life. There will be times when they will yield to the flesh; then when they hear a preacher say, “Unless you make Jesus Lord of your life, you are not Saved,” they will look back and see that Jesus has not been Lord of their lives and reason that if the preacher is correct, then they must not have been Saved.

So they will go forward again to trust Christ as Saviour, and make Him Lord of their lives so they can really be saved. Some people will do this dozens of times.

Lordship Salvation confuses people. It makes them doubt their Salvation. Well, they should doubt their Salvation because they are not Saved if they Believe Lordship Salvationist Repent of Sin False Gospel. Their Works based Salvation.

Explaining Calvinism’s T.U.L.I.P. 

Warning Beware of Calvinism’s T.U.L.I.P. Beware of False Prophets / False Teachers.

Explaining Calvinism’s T.U.L.I.P. is an essential part of every Pastor’s job. Christian Churches are failing because Pastor’s do not Warn Christians about False Religions like Calvinism.  This is why Calvinism has creeped into nearly every Christian Church. The Pastor’s embrace it and the people in the pews are ignorant of what the Bible Teaches.

2nd Peter 2:1 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”

Vs 1) Calvinism’s Damnable Heresies: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, Perseverance of the Saints. Calvinists deny Jesus.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

Vs 2) Many (Millions) follow Calvinism’s pernicious ways. Every Reformed Church is a Calvinist Church. Almost every Baptist Church teaches Calvinism.

Calvinist: Deny the Gospel. Like all Cults they speak evil of Christianity, of Christians.

3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Vs 3) Calvinist Churches are all about merchandising. They have made Billions of dollars.

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 Bible says people are Saved by Believing 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:

The Bible teaches that Jesus died for all the Sins of the whole World. That Salvation is a Free Gift offered to everyone willing to Believe the Gospel. Jesus wants everyone to be Saved.

1st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Calvinism: Denies 1st Timothy 2:4 “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” and 1st Timothy 2:6 “Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”

Calvinism teaches that Jesus did not die for ALL Men. For ALL SIN.

Calvinism, is also called Reformed Theology (A way to pretend they are not Calvinists) is a False Religion, not Christianity.

Calvinism’s T.U.L.I.P.:

Total Depravity
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement
Irresistible Grace
Perseverance of the Saints

Total Depravity:
Was Falsely derived from the concept of original sin. It teaches that, as a consequence of man’s fall. Man cannot resist Evil, refrain from Sinning. Every person born into the world is enslaved to Sin.

Because of their Fallen Sin Nature. And, apart from the Efficacious (Irresistible grace) or Preventive (Enabling) Grace of God, People are unable to choose by themselves to Believe on Jesus to Save them.

Simply put: Total Depravity according to Calvinist’s overpowers Man’s Will. Calvinist Deny the Bible Doctrine of The Free Will of Man. “Fallen man is unable is to love, obey or please God.” Man is completely incapable of loving or obeying God.

All of this goes against man’s Free Will given by God. It is saying that no one can chose to Believe on Jesus by their own Will. That God decides who will be Saved by giving the Elect the Chosen Irresistible Grace.

Unconditional Election:
Calvin’s doctrine of unconditional election (Predestination) contends that God has Predestined some people to be Saved and some people to be Lost. This doctrine maintains that Man does not have a Free Will.

Calvin taught that God did not elect (Predestine) people by just looking into the future to see who would and would not obey. Calvin taught that God Literally Elects some people to be Saved. Everyone Else God Sends to Hell.

Calvinist God is EVIL. He Just Throws People Into HELL with no opportunity to Ever be Saved.

Limited Atonement:
Jesus Christ’s Blood only Atoned (Limited Atonement) for the Sins of Some people. Only the very few people who were Predestined. The people who are not Predestined to be Saved have No Way of being Saved and are Eternally Lost from birth.

This is Evil! NOT in the Bible.

The truth of the Bible refutes this Lie:

1st Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Jesus Died for ALL!!! Not Some. Limited Atonement IS SATAN’S LIE!!! JESUS DIED FOR ALL!!!

Living for Jesus is not a requirement for Salvation. Many people get Saved and never serve Jesus in anyway. There are many verses in the Bible that talk about these selfish Saved people who refuse to serve Jesus.

Irresistible Grace:
God only calls the Elect through the Word, those chosen by God. The Holy Spirit illuminates their heart and allows only these Elect individuals to be obedient to God’s will.

Once you receive this inward call you are going to (You have no choice, no Free Will to not be obedient to God.) be obedient to God, respond to his will, to be Saved.

It is Irresistible; you have no power to disobey God if you were chosen Elected by God to be Saved.

God has decreed from eternity who would be Saved and who would be Lost, and you are powerless to do a thing about it.

Very Evil!!!

What the Bible Says:

John 12:31 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.

Jesus taught that he came to die for the Sins of the Whole World. He came to Save Everyone!!! Everyone who would Believe on Him.

Perseverance of the Saints:

The Eternal Security of the Believer does not depend on his Perseverance. I do not know one single Bible verse that says anything about Christians Persevering. But there are several Bible verses that mention the fact that the Christians have been preserved by Jesus.

Perseverance is one thing. Preservation is another. No. Christians do not Persevere. Christians are Preserved. The Bible says:

Jude 1:1 “Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:”

1st Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Calvinist Teach: True Christians will Persevere in Faith, and if they don’t, they were never truly Saved in the first place. The Bible makes it plain that the believer is kept by the power of God. He does not keep himself:

1st Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

The Bible teaches the Eternal Security of the Believer. But the Believer’s Eternal Security has nothing to do with his Persevering. Christians are secure because we are kept by God. We are held in the Father’s hand. We have been sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption.

Ephesians 4:30 “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

Eternal Life:

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.”

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

John 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

Eternal means never ending. People who believe they can lose their Salvation are Lost. They are Lost because they think they have to Work to Stay Saved.

If you have to Work for your Salvation than you are helping Jesus to Save you. Your Salvation is Jesus + You. Not 100% Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8 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.

Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;”

Calvinist Believe that God is in Control of Everything that happens on the Earth.

So God wants Satan in Control of the World?

2 Corinthians 4:4 “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.”

Beware of Calvinism. God does not Control the world / all people in the world.

The reason Satan is the god of this world is because of the Sin, the fall of Adam and Eve.

God did not Control Adam and Eve. God did not and does not control Satan. God did not cause or prevent Adam and Eve from Sinning.

When people say God is in Control they are blaming God for all the Evil in the World. If God is in control than he is the one responsible for rape, murder all the Evils in the World.

God gave Man Free Will.

When people claim God is in Control they are Denying the Bible. They are saying God decides who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. This is the main theme of Calvinist Theology.

Calvinists hardly argue against these verses and these verses are pretty strong to debunk Calvinism.

Hebrews 10:29 “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”

“Of how much sorer punishment…”
Than a mere corporeal death, which was the punishment inflicted on the transgressors of the law of Moses.

“…Suppose ye;”
The Apostle appeals to the Hebrews themselves, and makes them judges of what punishment.

“…and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace;”
Done Despite by denying his Being, Deity, and Personality. By Despising his Powerful Operations as enthusiasm; treating his extraordinary gifts as illusions. And ascribing his miracles to Satan. Representing the Gospel dictated by him as a Fable, a Lie.

This is aggravated by his being “the spirit of grace.”; the author, giver, and applier of all grace to the saints. And who therefore ought not to be in the least slighted, but highly esteemed and honoured. Such affronts do not go unpunished.

God does not enforce, CONTROL one’s heart to do good and another person’s heart to do evil. Calvinists will pull tons of verses to prove that God moves a person’s heart to do an evil deed such as God hardened Pharaoh’s heart.

Psalms 33:15 “He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.”

God is fair, just. God does not Control a person’s heart. God does not Control a person’s will. God does not control World Events.

Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

God is knocking on everyone’s door. God is not being selective. It says: “…if any man hear my voice…” God is talking to everyone. God does not Control who opens the door.

God is knocking on the door of everyone’s heart. He can’t go in and lead us to do the right things unless we let Him in.

A person’s heart can only be more good or more evil depending on how much they open their heart to the Lord.

If our heart wants to do good things (free choice), the Lord’s going to fashion and move that heart to become even more good and more good for His glory.

It’s the same thing with Evil. If we say no to the word of God, then the Lord fashions that heart to that free choice of man where he wants to do Evil and He will harden that person’s heart like Pharaoh or He will move them. Deceive them into a lie on what they want to do and make them commit even more atrocious Sin? Why? No!!! God does not cause people to do anything outside of their Own Will.

Because God gives mankind what they want. That proves even more on Free Will, that God doesn’t make everything happen.

Foreknowledge:

God is all-knowing, which is called Foreknowledge.

Calvinist call God’s Foreknowledge proof that God Controls everything that happens.

Calvinists combined Foreknowledge with God Making it happen/Predestination/God’s counsel. Because of God’s Foreknowledge knowing that it’s going to happen, then obviously He made it happen.

More verses that disprove Calvinism. Lost sinners are able to do good:

Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

God gave everyone a conscience that convicts them of Sin. So that everyone would know the difference between Right and Wrong. Everyone chooses either to do Wrong / Sin or to Not Sin and do Right.

Luke 6:33 “And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.”

Notice the verse says that Sinners are Capable of doing Good.

Matthew 7:11 “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?”
(same as Luke 6:33) These evil people are capable of doing good things.

The very Sad Truth is most “Christian” Churches teach Calvinist Theology.

Almost every Baptist Church teaches Calvinist Theology. I am pointing this out because many “Christians” think that the Baptist Church was founded by Jesus and the Apostles… So thus the Baptist Church is the only True Church. Baptist are no different than the Catholic’s who claim they are the one True Church.

Jesus did not start any Denomination neither did any of his Disciples.
