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 Americancartoonistand publisher, best known for hisfundamentalist Christian“Chick tracts“. He expressed his perspective on a variety of issues throughsequential-artmorality 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 Billiontracts,comics tractsand comic books, videos, books, and posters designed to promoteEvangelical Protestantismfrom 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 “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 fromverse 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.
Examples of Jack Chick’s False Gospel in His 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 inJohn 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.
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.
