Saving Faith? What Does The Bible Say?

Faith. The Christian Faith.

Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Salvation happens immediately when a Person puts their Faith in Jesus Only to Save them.

Bible Salvation:

Acts 16:29 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.

The Roman Jailer, Realized he was Lost. He Asked how to be Saved. The Answer was Only: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.”

That is it. The end. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The Answer was Not: “You Must Have Enough Faith, Saving Faith.” “You Must Repent of Your Sins.” “You Must Turn From Your Sins.” “You Must Forsake Sin.” “You Must Be Baptized.” “You Must Surrender Your Life to Jesus.” “You Must Give your Life to Jesus.”

Beware of All the above Extra Biblical, Unbiblical things False Teachers teach as being Required for Salvation.

Nothing is Required for Salvation other than to have the Faith to Ask Jesus to Save You, because You Believed, the Gospel Only for your Salvation.

Yes the Roman Jailer Believed the Gospel. Paul and Silas were in Jail for Preaching the Gospel. “Believe.” Believe What? On the Lord Jesus Christ.

What was Jesus Message? Jesus Speaking:

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.

In John 3:14 Jesus is describing how Moses put a serpent on a long staff and lifted it up so that whoever looked at it would Live. It is an Illustration of how Jesus would be Lifted up on the Cross, Crucified, to give Eternal Life to Everyone who Believes on Him.

Jesus Salvation message was 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:

Again: Saving Faith?

You will Not find One passage in the Scripture that says this. Let’s Look at the Faith Jesus recognized, praised:

Luke 18:40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

In this passage a man Believed that Jesus could heal him. He Asked Jesus to heal him. Just by Asking Jesus to Heal him was Faith enough for Jesus to Heal him.

42 …Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

Thy Faith hath Saved thee. Over and over again in the Gospels people Asked to Be healed and Jesus healed them and he commented on their Faith. In every example their Faith equaled simply Believing that Jesus Could heal them.

Another Example:

Matthew 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

If I may but touch his garment… What type of Faith is this? It is Simply Believing in Jesus.

Let’s Just Get Real. There is Belief, And Unbelief. This is how the Bible defines Belief. It takes Faith to Believe. The Bible doesn’t teach there is a Bar, a Level of Faith that a person must have to be Saved. It is enough to Simply Ask. “Jesus Please Save me.”

Proof this is True:

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

More Proof:

The Thief on the Cross.

The Thief on the Cross is Proof that if anyone Asks Jesus to Save them than that is All the Faith Required to be Saved:

Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

The Thief on the Cross he realized he was Lost, a Lost Sinner. He knew he deserved his punishment. He knew he was Guilty. He obviously heard of or witnessed Jesus Ministry.

The Thief on the Cross knew Jesus was on the Cross dying for the Sins of the World.

The Thief on the Cross: 42 “And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.”

That is it. The Thief on the Cross Asked Jesus to Save him and immediately Jesus Saved him.

Notice Jesus did Not Require ANYTHING from him. Jesus Did Not Say: “Sorry, you cannot Be Saved. You must be Baptized.” “Did you Repent of Your Sins?” “Did you Make me the Lord of Your Life.” “Did you Give your Life to Me?”

Salvation is having the Faith to Ask Jesus to Save you, Believing on Jesus plus Nothing else.

Review:

Does The Bible Teach: Saving Faith?

No. Saving Faith is a False Teaching by Lost Repent of Sin False Teachers.

These Heretics Do Everything they can to Make Sure as many people as Possible will go to Hell with them.

It is Not enough for them to Add Repent of Sin to the Bible, to Salvation, (Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible.) they have to Say:

You might Not Be Saved. Do you have Saving Faith? When you Believed on Jesus, did you do it with Enough Faith?”

Their False Doctrines are Not Only for People who attend their Churches. They push it online. In Numerous publications to infect countless Christians. Yes I mean many Christians get Saved, and they are truly Saved, but then they never Study the Bible for themselves.

They buy Books, watch YouTube Videos, read articles online to get their Bible Teachings from. They are foolish enough to think if someone is a well known Pastor than what he teaches must be True.

The False Doctrine, “Saving Faith” has many Christians doubting their Salvation.

Jesus warned us about False Teachers, False Pastors:

John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

This passage is talking about False Churches, False Pastors who are “Hirelings.”

The Bible definition of a Hireling: A labourer employed on hire for a limited time (Job 7:1; 14:6; Mark 1:20). His wages were paid as soon as his work was over “(Lev. 19:13). In the time of our Lord a day’s wage was a “penny” “(q.v.) i.e., a Roman denarius (Matt. 20:1-14).”

What Jesus is Saying is they are working to Make Money. They Do Not Care about anything but Money… The Bible Cross reference for John 10:11-13 is:

1st Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Not for Filthy Lucre, Money. Jesus is warning that there are Hirelings that Do Not Care about the Church. They are Lost False Teachers who are in the Ministry to Deceive People with their False Doctrines and to Make Money.

Another Cross Reference:

Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake. 12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

A sure Sign of a False Pastor is their Wealth. The Christian Ministry is Not a Place to Make yourself Wealthy.

You cannot Trust anyone who is making huge Profits from their Ministry. Selling Books, Music, Videos for Profit is Not part of a Christian Ministry.

Finally:

John 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

This passage is called Doubting Thomas. Thomas refused to Believe that Jesus had Rose from the Dead. He would Not take the word of the other Disciples. He had to see for himself.

So to Say Thomas Lacked Faith is an understatement.

Jesus sums up what Faith it takes for a person to be Saved. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Faith in Jesus, to Believe the Gospel without Witnessing it is All that is Required to be Saved.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

The Faith for Salvation requires Believing on Jesus without Physically seeing him.

Hebrews 11:1 Tells us that Faith has Substance and Evidence. So the Christian Faith is Not a Blind Faith. The Bible is the Substance and the Evidence for the Christian Faith to exist.

Saved By The Blood Of Jesus

There is NO Salvation without Jesus Blood Atonement.

Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Atone means to make amends. Atonement is associated with Sin. God commanded Israel to set aside one day each year, the tenth day of the seventh month, which He called “The Day Of Atonement.” The people were to bring a Sin offering, an innocent animal sacrifice:

Exodus 30:10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the Lord.

Leviticus 16:23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: 24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. 25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. 26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp. 27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

Jesus Blood is the Only Sacrifice that can Atone for our Sins:

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 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.

Jesus’s Blood Atonement Reconciled us (Everyone who has believed in the Gospel Only to Save Them.) to God.

Romans 5:6-11 Is the Gospel Plain and Clear.

How is a Person Saved?

A – You must Realize, Admit that you are A Sinner that Deserves to Go to Hell.

B – You must Believe the Gospel: Jesus Died, was Buried, and he Rose from the Dead, (Jesus is Alive. There is No Salvation, without Jesus Resurrection.) to pay the Penalty for All of our Sins.

Salvation is NOT a Process. Salvation happens immediately. When A Lost Sinner Asks for God’s Mercy. Asks Jesus to Save them.

An Example: “Lord Jesus, please have Mercy on me and Save me. I am a Lost Sinner, that deserves to go to Hell. I Believe the Gospel. That You Jesus Died in my place, you were, Buried, you Rose from the Dead to pay the Penalty for All of my Sins. Jesus Right Now I accept you As My Savior.

Jesus will hear and Answer this Prayer. Bible Proof:

Luke 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

The entire passage:

Luke 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Beware of Pharisee’s:

Who is a Pharisee? A Pharisee is anyone trying to Get to Heaven by their own Good Works. There is No Salvation when you add your Works to it.

A Pharisee will Say: “Repent of Sin to Be Saved. Turn From Sin to be Saved. Give your Life to Jesus to be Saved. If you do Not Forsake your Sin you can Not be Saved. Surrender Your Life to Jesus to Be Saved.” None of these Statements are Biblical. Jesus Never Said them. Neither did any of his Disciples.

A Pharisee will Say: “Repentance is Not Works.”

Repent of Sin means you have to Ask God to Forgive you for every individual Sin that you have ever committed. You will Go to Hell if you Do Not Ask Jesus to Forgive you for Every Single Sin that you have committed.

A prayer at the end of each day like: “Jesus please forgive me for all the Sins I have committed today…” This prayer is Not Repenting of your Sins. To Repent of Sin you have to be Specific: “Jesus please forgive me for having Sex with Julie today.”

Repenting of Sin is Works, because if you Do Not Do it you will Go to Hell. This is Adding to Salvation. A Work is anything that you have to Do to be Saved.

Repent of Sin is Not part of Bible Salvation. Repent of Sin is Not even possible. Why Not? Everyone Sins without even realizing it. We have subconscious thoughts running through our minds 24/7 many of these thoughts are Sin, Lustful desires…

Salvation is Only Through Jesus. Jesus is the Only Sacrifice, Atonement for Sin. You can NOT Atone for your Sins.

Hebrews 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 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?

Jesus is the One and Only Sacrifice that God the Father will accept for Sin, for Eternal Salvation. No One was ever Saved by Animal Sacrifices by Keeping the Law.

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

The entire passage:

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.

Jesus One Sacrifice paid for All the Sins of the World. Nothing Else can Take Away Sin.

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

No Work, Nothing you Do can Take Away even One Sin.

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.

The Blood / Body of Jesus is the Only Offering for Sin.

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.

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

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:

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,

Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 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. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

The Conclusion is that Salvation is through Jesus Blood Atonement Only. The Law Saved No One. It is impossible to Work your Way to Heaven.

Jesus Name Is Above Every Name

At The Name Of Jesus Every Knee Should Bow, Of Things In Heaven, And Things In Earth And Things Under The Earth

Philippines Chapter 2 Is Possibly the Most Powerful Chapter in the Entire Bible. Why? Because:

Philippines 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 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.

Do You Understand Why? The Answer Is At The Name of Jesus Every Knee Will Bow, and Every Tongue Will Confess That Jesus Christ is Lord!!!

The Judgement Seat of Christ

Let’s Read the Entire Passage:

Philippines 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

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.

This Passages Makes It Clear That Jesus Is God. It Gives Us Part of the Gospel: Jesus Humbled Himself. (He God, Became a human. That is too Difficult a Concept for the human brain to Handle.) Jesus was Born to Die on the Cross to Pay the Penalty for the All of the Sins of the World.

Jesus Blood Atonement, The Gospel of our Salvation, His Sacrifice on the Cross, is the Reason Why Everyone Will:

Every Knee Will Bow, and Every Tongue Will Confess That Jesus Christ is Lord!!!

This is Powerful!!!

Jesus Name

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.

Understand This, verse 18 Fits with Philippines 2:9-10.

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 has Died Rejecting Jesus Free Gift Of Salvation Will On Their Knees Say: JESUS IS LORD.

JESUS IS LORD:

JESUS IS LORD Is completely Twisted and Misused by Lost Cults.

Lordship Salvation Cults Love to use the Expression: JESUS IS LORD missing completely this is the Cry that Will Happen Right Before the Lost are Thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Get This FACT STRAIGHT JESUS IS LORD!!! That is a Present Statement, A FACT. You Do NOT. You CANNOT Make Jesus YOUR LORD!!! He Already Is.

Salvation Is: Believing the Gospel Only For Salvation. It is to ACCEPT Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

A Person Goes To Hell For Rejecting Jesus Free Gift of Salvation. No One Goes To Hell For Sin. Jesus Paid the Penalty For ALL The Sins of the World.

It is Simple. Accept Jesus Go To Heaven. Reject Jesus Go to the Lake of Fire Shouting Jesus Is Lord.

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:

Salvation the Gospel IS NOT Making Jesus The Lord of Your Life.

Repent of Sin, Turn From Sin, Surrendering Your Life To Christ, Making Jesus the Lord of Your Life Is Not The Gospel. It IS NOT how a Person is Saved!!!

Which Name Is Above All Other Names:

Malachi 1:11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.

Whose name do we call out to when we want to be saved? Jesus Name!  

In whose name are we sent?  In whose name do we Pray, Preach, Teach? Jesus Name!

IT IS NOT!!! Jeshua, Yeshua, Yeshuah, Yehshua, Yehshuah, YESHUA, YESHUAH, YEHSHUA, YEHSHUAH, Yeshouah,  Y’shua, Y’shuah, Jeshu, Yeshu, Yehoshua, Yehoshuah, YHVHShua, YHVHShuah, Yhvhshua, Yhwhshua, YHWHShua, YHWHShuah, Yhvhshuah, Yhwhshuah, Yahvehshua, Yahwehshua, Yahvehshuah, Yahwehshuah, Jahshua, Jahshuah, Jashua, Jashuah, Jahoshua, Jahoshuah, Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Yashua, Yashuah, Yahshua, Yahshuah, YAHSHUA, YAHSHUAH, YASHUA, YASHUAH, Yahushua, Yahushuah, Yahoshua, Yahoshuah, Yaohushua, YAOHUSHUA, Yaohushuah,  Iahoshua, Iahoshuah, Iahushua, or Iahushuah! Or any Other Name!!!

Matt. 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

What Name have Christian Believers been Commanded to Teach and Baptize in?  The same Person whom all Power in Heaven and Earth was given to. JESUS! 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is the name of Jesus which is Christ, God’s Only begotten Son who came down from Heaven and became flesh.

In the Gospels and in the Book of Acts (Where the words of Jesus were being demonstrated by the Apostles and the early church.) and you will see every Water Baptism (After people had been Saved by Believing on Jesus.) of was done in the name of Jesus. As were All the Preaching, Teaching, Healings and Miracles.

Deuteronomy 28:10 “And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.”

Jesus!!! Is A Swear Word. People Curse Jesus Name Continuously. Hit their finger with a Hammer… Jesus!!! is their cry.

Jesus name is the most Attacked name in Society in the World.  Why is it the most Degraded and Spat upon name around the world? Uttered as a Malignant Swear word by Millions, over and over again, every single day?  Why don’t you hear the name of another god being continually down graded, Cursed?  Why is not the name Yahweh being Cursed, consciously or unconsciously, by the worlds masses?

Because Jesus’ name is the most Precious name in Heaven and Earth, and should be Treasured above all names, as the only name behind the Person who rendered Satan powerless and Broke the chains of Sin and Death. 

Jesus is the only name where Eternal Life and Eternal Death Hang in the balance. Deny Jesus = Eternal Death Damnation. Accept Jesus = Eternal Life. Jesus is the only name we can be Saved with.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

THERE ARE NO SUCH NAMES: YAHSHUA / Yahua / Yeshua

These names didn’t exist in biblical times and they have not existed as a genuine Hebrew name in history — until people who really didn’t understand Hebrew made them up, thinking that it somehow restored the “Yah” element (from “Yahweh”) into the Savior’s name.

While Joshua was pronounced ye-ho-shu-ah — God’s name was NEVER pronounced Yahua or the like.

A lot of people, including some Messianic Jews (Jews who believe Jesus is the Messiah), will call Jesus by a different name: Yeshua (Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ). They say that Yeshua is the Jewish name that Jesus would have been called by those who knew him.  Some messianic and other groups say that Yeshua is Jesus’ real name and that the name “Jesus” is wrong.  Others say it is okay to use either one.  But then again, there are those who say that the word “Jesus” is pagan in origin and should not be used at all.  And if that weren’t enough, some say that “Jesus” is derived from “Zeus” and really means “hail Zeus.”  With all these possibilities is there a real answer to what was the Messiah’s real name?  Yes, there is.  It is found in the New Testament.

The New Testament was written in Greek.  If there were any original documents of the New Testament written in Hebrew, we don’t have them.  At best, some theorize that there might have been a gospel or two written in Hebrew.  If that is the case, there is no way to know.  The fact is we don’t have any Hebrew manuscripts.  We only have Greek ones from that period of time. 

Since what we do have is the Greek Manuscripts, it is from them that we need to find out what the Apostles wrote about Jesus.  In other words, we need to make a case out of what we do have–not what we don’t have.

Doing a computer search in the Greek New Testament, the word “Jesus” occurs over 900 times.  Following is a chart that lays this out.

What does the Greek actually say?

The Greek word for Jesus is Iησοῦς.  It is pronounced as “eeaysoos.”  When “eeaysoos” was transliterated into the English long ago, it became Jesus–the term we use in English today.

Some say that if we don’t pronounce Jesus’ name properly (either as Yeshua and or Eeaysoos), then we are in sin and serving a false god; but that accusation cannot be made from scripture.  It is not the pronunciation of a word that makes us Christian or not.  It is receiving the Messiah, God in flesh, by faith that makes us a Christian.  Likewise, must we say “theos” when saying “God” since that is how the word is pronounced in Greek?  Or what about when we call Jesus the “Savior” as in Phil. 3:20, must we pronounce the word as it is in Greek (sotare), or is it okay to use the English word “savior?”

The entire New Testament was written in Greek, and the word Jesus is the word that is used.  It is not the Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ which is Yeshua.  So, it is simple.  Jesus is properly called Jesus.

  • And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins,” (Matt. 1:21).

  • The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,” (Mark 1:1).

  • let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead–by this name this man stands here before you in good health. 11 “He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the very cornerstone. 12 “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:10-12).

  • Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,” (Rom. 1:1).

  • But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone,” (Heb. 2:9).

  • The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must shortly take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John,” (Rev. 1:1).

As you can see, the New Testament uses “Jesus” as the name and not a Hebrew name.  For people to say that Jesus’ real name is Yashua or Yahusha or Yahushua, etc., is just a statement of pushing an agenda and not believing the New Testament text. 

False Prophets (The Religious Leaders) Forgot God’s Name:

Jeremiah 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. 29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.

Because God has given us His Book the Bible, with every scripture given by Divine inspiration, we only need to go to the Bible to find the Name Jesus which is above every other name, the only name by which people can be Saved. 

Beware of Counterfeit Christianity:

Jude 1:4 “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

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 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.

Jack Hyles Accepting and Encouraging his congregation to Worship Him. Lies about Soul Winning. Sexual Perversion from the Pulpit.

Evidence that Jack Hyles had a life Long Mistress. Child Molestation, Many Crimes…

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.

The below YouTube video is very good at exposing Charles Stanley’s False Gospel of Works.

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.

Jesus Died For All Sin.

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.

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.

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

Almost ALL CHURCHES Deny this Fact. People who Believe and Teach this are Falsely called Universal Salvationist.

Universal Salvation means that No One Goes to Hell.

Yes, Jesus Died For All Sin.

No, Everyone Does Not Go to Heaven.

To Be Saved A Person Has to ACCEPT Jesus FREE GIFT of Salvation.

NO ONE GOES TO HELL FOR SIN!!!

You will not Find ONE VERSE That Says a Person Goes to Hell / the Lake of Fire Because of their Sin.

PEOPLE GO TO HELL FOR REJECTING JESUS.

This is what the Bible Says:

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.

Salvation Happens as Soon as A Person BELIEVES IN JESUS. This Belief is in 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:

John 3:

“17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

Jesus did not come into the World to Send people to Hell. Jesus came into the World to Die For ALL SIN, so the world could 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.”

Everyone that has Believed the Gospel is Saved and will never be Condemned. Right here is Eternal Salvation. Note Salvation is not Salvation if it can be Taken Away, Lost in any way.

EVERYONE THAT HAS NOT BELIEVED ON JESUS, IS RIGHT NOW, CONDEMNED. YES THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.

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.”

People do not Go to Hell for their Sins. They Go to Hell for Rejecting Jesus.

People refuse to Accept Jesus because they LOVE THEIR SIN. LOVE OF SIN KEEPS PEOPLE FROM BEING SAVED.

I have talked with countless people who have told me something like this: “I will probably get Saved when I am older. Right now I am young. I am single. I want to have all the FUN (SEX, GETTING DRUNK, DOING DRUGS, ALL MANNER OF EVIL…) I can possibly have. I do not want to be a hypocrite. People HATE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL HYPOCRITES. If I get Saved I will not be a Hypocrite.”

“…Men Loved DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL.” People chose their SINS OVER JESUS.”

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

THE LOST HATE JESUS. YES THE LOST, THE UNSAVED HATE JESUS. THEY HATE HAVING THEIR SINS SEEN AND REPROVED.

When I talk with people about Jesus most immediately get MAD: “How DARE YOU Talk to me about JESUS!!! There is a separation between the Church and the State. Leave Jesus in the Church. If I wanted to hear about JESUS I would go to Church.!!!!” “JESUS FREAK SHUT UP!!! I WILL SHUT YOU UP IF YOU KEEP TALKING TO ME ABOUT JESUS!!!”

This instant HATE, ANGER, VIOLENCE, is unnatural. It is SATANIC. I can see the EVIL in their faces in their eyes.

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

What is doing Truth? Doing Truth is when a Christian lives by the Word of God. The TRUTH IS THE WORD OF GOD. Christians LOVE JESUS, they are not ashamed of their deeds because they are living according to God’s Word.

Salvation is a Free Gift offered to Everyone.

The Bible does not say to Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Repent of Sin means to go to Heaven you have to Ask Forgiveness of every Sin you have ever committed. This is not possible and it is Working your Way to Heaven. Because Repent of Sin also means that to be Saved you have to agree Before you can Be Saved that you will not Sin. Part of their False Plan of Salvation: “Be willing to Turn from Sin.” Turning from Sin = To Not Sin.

They say willful sin is what they are talking about… As if they do not willfully have Sexual Fantasies. They willfully consume Alcohol, Smoke, Drink, Lie,

are full of Pride, are Self-Righteous, are easily Angered.

1st John 1:10

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

They are Lying about NOT Sinning.

Yes this is What people who Believe in Repent of Sin teach. Just look at any Chick Tract.

Jesus Died For All Sin. No One Goes To Hell For Sin. People go to Hell for One Reason Only. For Rejecting Jesus Free Gift Of Salvation.

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.

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,”

Matthew 1:21

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”

Colossians 2:14

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

2nd Corinthians 5:15

“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.”

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:

1st John 2:2

“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

1st John 3:5

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.”

1st Peter 2:24

“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.”

1st John 4:10

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

Titus 2:14 

“Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”

Hebrews 1:3 

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;”  

2nd Corinthians 5:21

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

In John Chapter 3 Jesus Tells us how to Be SAVED. Believe in him. Believe the Gospel. Jesus does not Say to do anything else. He does not Say to Repent of Sin, to Forsake Sin, to Turn From Sin to be Saved. He does not say you have to be Baptized to Be Saved.

To Be Saved Believe the Gospel Only. Believe Jesus Died, was Buried, and he Rose from the Dead to pay for all of your Sins. Ask Jesus to Save You. To ADD ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS IS WORKS AND IS NOT SALVATION.

John 3:

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

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.

Believe on Jesus to be Saved. If you have not please Ask Jesus to Save you right now. Trust in Jesus only to Save you. Believe the Gospel Only to be Saved.

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:

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.
