Beware: Most Churches Deny Teaching Works For Salvation, But They Do Teach Works.

IFB Baptists, Southern Baptists, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Church of Christ, Church of God, Calvinist Churches, and Other Churches All Teach Works Salvation, Despite the Fact they Deny Teaching Works.

They All Add Works to Salvation. They Deny Teaching Works by Falsely Claiming, what they Add to Salvation is Not Works. When I say All I am meaning Churches with these Titles do Teach Works Salvation. Some IFB Baptist Churches may be Not Teach Works. The I in IFB stands for Independent which means that IFB Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches are supposed to be 100% Independent but most are Not.

They call themselves Independent because they are Not part of the Southern Baptist Convention. They are supposed to be Independent of All other Baptist Churches. But 90+ percent of them are associated with other “Independent Churches” Like Dr. Peter S. Ruckman, Jack Hyles, others. These type of Churches all Follow the same False Teachings.

But there are some Good IFB Churches that Teach the Truth.

Jesus Plus Anything Else Is Not Salvation. It is Works, No Matter what Anyone Says.

They Falsely Deny that Repent of Sin is Works.

First): Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible.

Secondly): Repent / Repentance is Not Defined in the Bible as to Repent of Sin. Every time Repentance, to Repent is mentioned in the Bible it is always about Changing One’s mind. Repentance / Repent in the Bible is Not About Sin.

God Repents in the Bible More than Anyone Else. So, it is Absolutely Clear that Repentance / Repent does Not mean to Repent of Sin.

God Does Not Sin. It is Impossible for God to Sin.

For Example, God Repented, He Changed his mind about:

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

God Repented, he Changed his mind. God was Going to Kill Every Human Being on the Earth. God Changed his mind and he Saved Noah, and his Family.

Ignorant People, Lost Unsaved People, Look at the Bible and Call God an Evil Mass Murderer. What they do Not Understand is Satan caused All of the Evil on the Earth that God had to Destroy to Save his People.

The Reason for the Flood, The Reason God had to Kill off everyone except Noah and his Family:

Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

“…all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Satan had messed with the DNA of All Flesh. Humans and Animals.

Fallen Angels had been having Sex with Women, making Babies that became Giants. The Animals Flesh was also Corrupted by Satan… Satan was trying to Destroy Adam’s seed, his descendants so Jesus could Not Ever be Born to Save the World.

God had to Destroy Satan’s Fallen Angel’s Corruption of the Human Race.

Exodus 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14 And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

God Changed his Mind, he Repented, he decided Not to Destroy the Nation of Israel.

Psalms 106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: 45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

Throughout the Bible God Repents, He Changes His Mind about Punishing Mankind, the Nation of Israel, for their Wickedness. Instead of Punishing them he Often shows them Mercy.

In the Bible God Repents More than anyone else. So, for Repentance / Repent to mean to Repent of Sin, that would mean that God is a Sinner. It is Impossible for God to Sin.

These Corrupt Churches Label All of their Works that they Add to Salvation as just being Obedient to God.

They Falsely say: Repent of Sin, Forsaking Sin, Making Jesus the Lord of Your Life, Surrender Your Life To Jesus, Giving your Life to Jesus, Water Baptism, Confessing Your Sins, Church Membership, etc…, None of this is Works because it is just a Normal Part of Salvation.

None of the Requirements Above are Part of Salvation in the Bible.

Salvation in the Bible:

When you Read Below How people were Saved in the Bible You will see that No one was Saved by Repenting of their Sins, By Water Baptism, by anything Other than Trusting in the Gospel Only: Jesus Death, Burial and Resurrection to Save them.

Salvation Is Only Through The Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Plus Nothing Else:

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

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.

Salvation is: Believing the Gospel Only! Plus, Nothing Else!

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.

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.

1.) Jesus Christ DIED on the Cross for All of Our Sins Past, Present and Future Sins. He Died for all the Sins of the Entire World.

2.) Jesus was BURIED.

3.) Jesus bodily ROSE from the Dead on the 3rd day.

Galatians 1:1 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 Salvation of the Ethiopian Eunuch:

Acts 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

****Notice**** The Ethiopian Eunuch was Saved from Isaiah Chapter 53. Many False Teachers Falsely Teach that in the Old Testament People were Saved by Works. This is a Lie. There is Only One Way to Be Saved in the Bible and it is Not By Works, By the Law. It is Only Through Jesus.

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The Ethiopian Eunuch was Baptized After he Was Saved by Believing the Gospel Only. He was Not Told to Repent of his Sins to Be Saved.

The Only Place in the Bible where a Person Asked How to Be Saved:

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.

****Notice**** The Answer to What Must I Do to Be Saved was: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Period. Nothing Else was Required.

The Answer was Not: You Must Repent of Your Sins to Be Saved. You must 1^st Be willing to Make Jesus the Lord of your Life before you can Be Saved. You must Forsake Your Sins to Be Saved. You Must Be Baptized to Be Saved.

Salvation is the Work of Jesus Only, Plus Nothing Else:

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.

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.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

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.

John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

1st Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

1st Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

The Law, Good Works, Has Saved Noone, At Any time In History. The Law Good Works Has Never Been The Way to Heaven.

Since the Beginning, In the Old Testament Salvation was Through Jesus ONLY. The Entire Bible Has ONLY ONE WAY TO BE SAVED: BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Acts 13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Acts 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

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;

Lordship Salvation: Repent of Sin to Be Saved. Is the biggest Lie Satan ever came up with.

Too many countless souls have gone to Hell because of this Horrendous False Teaching — WORKS SALVATION: “YOU MUST DO YOUR OWN PART IN SALVATION” “MUST WORK FOR YOUR SALVATION”.

We are Saved by God’s Grace. Grace is receiving Undeserved Unmerited Favor, the Forgiveness of all of our Sins.

2,000 years ago, Jesus died on the Cross for Every Individual Sin of the Whole World. He was Buried and He bodily Rose again on the 3rd day from the Dead for our Justification in the eyes of God The Father.

The Bible teaches that the only way to be Eternally Saved is to Simply Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ Alone to Save us. Not by trusting in all our Self-Righteous Good Works / Religious Works / Human Self Efforts / Human Sorrows and Feelings to Save us.

Again, Remember:

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 phrase Lordship Salvation sounds innocently scriptural and appears innocently biblical. So, what’s the Big Deal?

Is it Undeserving Unmerited Grace through Simple Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ Alone OR is it Jesus Plus Your Own Good Works for Salvation? That is the Big Deal.

Lordship Salvation / Repent of Sins / Good Works OR Jesus Only is the Question.

Salvation is: The Finished, Perfect Redemptive “Sin Purging” Work of Jesus Christ Alone through Faith Alone. Salvation is Eternal Life, Not A Temporary Gift that can be Taken Away.

You must reject the False Doctrine called Lordship Salvation. Reject All False Works Based Salvation Churches and False Teachers.

Lordship Salvation (Repent of Sin) Teaches:

You must Reform yourself, Repent of Your Sin, Prior to being Saved. That you cannot Sin Again, or you will go to Hell.

If this was True, then Nobody could be Saved.

If you Must Never Sin Again After You Are Saved in order to Stay Saved, Again, nobody will be Saved. No matter how much you hate your Sin, it remains a part of your human nature.

So, if anyone is to be Saved, Salvation is Only Through the Finished Eternal Redemptive Work that Jesus Himself DID on the Cross and Not upon Anything Else added to it. This is What the Bible Teaches.

Today Pastors will tell you differently — Teachers will tell you differently — Evangelists will tell you differently — and Lying Spirits will tell you differently!

They All Speak Out of Both Sides of their Mouths Telling us: “It’s Grace Alone through Faith Alone…” BUT they ADD REPENT OF SIN.

REPENT OF SIN IS WORKS. NO MATTER HOW LOUDLY THEY SCREAM THAT REPENT OF SIN IS NOT WORKS.

The Lordship Salvationists Attempt to Argue away the Inherent Contradictions in their Un-Biblical False Doctrine. But the Contradictions Cannot be Explained away.

Lordship Salvation-ism is a Dichotomy. It is Legalism. It is Roman-ism. It is impossible. It is Another Gospel.

The Bible says that Jesus Christ has always been the One True JEHOVAH God. Jesus is Eternal, The Son of God. He has Always been with God The Father and with God The Holy Spirit. We don’t even have any power to MAKE Him Lord of our life because He is the LORD.

Jesus is The Alpha and Omega:

Revelation 1:8 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.

Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

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.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Salvation is Without Works:

To Be Saved: You Must Know Jesus is The Son of God. Realize You are a Sinner that Deserves to Die and go to Hell. Feel the need for a Savior. Once you understand Jesus is the Savior of the World. You Need to Believe The Gospel Only to Save You. To Believe on Jesus As Your One and Only Savior, the Only Way to Heaven.

Once You believe the Gospel: Jesus Died was Buried and He Rose Again on the 3rd day to Pay the Penalty for All of your Sins. In a nanosecond the moment you Believe on Jesus, as your Saviour the only way to Heaven you are Immediately Saved.

You Don’t Have Salvation If You Add Anything To Jesus Only For Salvation.

To say a Saved Born-Again Believer will be Punished in Hell for Sinning, doing Wrong, is Saying that The Lord Jesus Christ is NOT the 100% All-Sufficient Savior and He is NOT 100% Good Enough to Save You from Hell without Your Help. That Jesus Blood Atonement is Not Sufficient to Save You, to Keep You Saved!

Ignore The False Gospel that Comes from Men and Not from the Bible.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

False Teachers Make Salvation Hard By Adding Impossible Requirements to Salvation.

They Use the Term Easy Believism to Mock People who Believe the Bible.

Lordship Salvationist / Repent of Sin False Churches use Terms Like Easy Believism to Say Free Grace Believers Want Salvation to Be Easy, when According to Them Salvation is Hard.

With Lordship Salvation, Repent of Sin LIARS, Salvation is Not Hard. It is Impossible. These LIARS Mock Jesus. They Openly Laugh at Jesus’ Sacrifice on the Cross Being Enough to Save You From Hell.

1^st Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

The Bible Says Salvation is Simple (Easy)

The Bible Warns Against Lying False Teachers who Make Salvation Impossible by Adding Works to Salvation.

2^nd 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. 5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things. 7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. 9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth. 12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 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.

Adding Works To Salvation is a One Way Road to Hell.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Romans 4:4 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.

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it 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.

The Bible Teaches that Only the Precious Shed Blood of Jesus Christ Alone is Sufficient to Save You and Me from the Eternal Torment of Hellfire. By Grace Alone through Faith Alone, Jesus Blood will Save Us and KEEP Us Cleansed and Sinless for All Eternity!

Twelve Bible Passages that Prove that Jesus Christ Alone Is The ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN:

(1) Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD.

(2) Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS that are past, THROUGH THE FORBEARANCE OF GOD;

(3) Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, we SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM.

(4) Ephesians 2:13 But NOW IN CHRIST JESUS ye who sometimes were far off are MADE NIGH BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.

(5) Colossians 1:20 And, having MADE PEACE THROUGH THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS, BY HIM TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS INTO HIMSELF; BY HIM, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

(6) Hebrews 9:14 HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, who through the ETERNAL Spirit OFFERED HIMSELF WITHOUT SPOT to God, PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS to serve the LIVING God?

(7) Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter INTO THE HOLIEST BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS,

(8) 1^st John 1:7 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.

(9) Revelation 1:5 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,

(10) 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;

(11) Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.

(12) Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

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.
