    Holliness Theology Vs. The Historical Gospel of Jesus Christ

    Romans 10:9-10 is a response to the Gospel. We hear, we believe, and we are born again by the Gospel, 1 Peter 1:23. I agree with you.

    Holliness Theology Vs. The Historical Gospel of Jesus Christ

    Pentecostalism is based upon Acts chapter 2. They missed what happened in Acts chapter 2 completely. Acts chapter 2 is about the Gospel coming into the world in the power of the Holy Spirit. What were they talking about on the day of Pentecost? They were talking about "The wonderful works of...

    Holliness Theology Vs. The Historical Gospel of Jesus Christ

    The Catholic church has changed the meaning of the word "Grace". The biblical meaning of the word grace means God's grace. God's unmerited favor towards fallen man. The holiness meaning of the word "Grace" means something that God does in the heart of the believer that makes him acceptable to...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    They hear that, "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness" Romans 10:4. They hear that, Jesus atoned for their sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. You don't seem to hear that. Your Calvinist God has blinded you to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    What is Saving Faith?

    "Broad is the way to destruction, and many there be that go that way" Matthew 7:13-14. The broad way is the way of religion. Man in the place of God trying to save himself by the deeds of the law, Romans 3:20.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. People are born again by hearing and believing the Gospel, Ephesians 1:13. Your Calvinist God will cause you to go to hell.

    Holliness Theology Vs. The Historical Gospel of Jesus Christ

    Holiness theology is a law-based doctrine that places the burden of justification and salvation on the believer. Some of the religions that support holiness salvation are Catholicism, Judaism, Church of Christ, Nazarene, Seventh Day Adventist, Pentecostalism. Holiness religions can be found in...

    Why the Law and the Commandments Have Been Abolished

    To be under or subject to the law is to be under a curse, Galatians 3:10. The reason for this is that it is a denial of the Gospel and justification by faith. Jesus is the Christians righteousness, not the law. We rest and trust in his righteousness and not our own. Worse yet, the law does not...

    Paul: The Law is a Ministration of Death, 2 Cor. 3:7.

    The law does not keep us out of trouble. Listen to what Paul said, "But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence (Lust) For without the law sin was dead" Romans 7:8. The law promotes sin. It doesn't help to overcome sin. We need to be dead to the law.

    What is Saving Faith?

    I estimate that only 10% of professing Christians are real believers.

    Paul: The Law is a Ministration of Death, 2 Cor. 3:7.

    Are you implying that the Bible is an idol? The Bible is a source of information and not to be worshipped.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Salvation had been made available to them by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ before they heard Peter's Gospel. When they heard what God had done for them in Jesus Christ and they believed it was then that they received the Holy Spirit. It was the Gospel that gave birth to the...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    No doubt about it, you are a Calvinist. On the day of Pentecost 8,000 Jews heard Peter's Gospel and were converted to Christ, Acts 2:41 and Acts 4:4. They heard, they believed, and they were saved. Just like Paul said, "So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" which is...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Jesus saves sinners by doing for sinners that which they cannot do for themselves. He justifies the ungodly, Romans 4:5 and reconciles them unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. However, nothing is ours until it is received by faith, John 1:12. I don't think that you have received what God has...

    Paul: The Law is a Ministration of Death, 2 Cor. 3:7.

    How many are serving a dead religion of laws, rules and religion? And have rejected the New Covenant of grace and the Gospel?

    What Satan Doesn't Want You to Know

    All that are trusting in Christ for their salvation are sealed with the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13 and are "In Christ". You apparently think that it is all about you and your works. Your piety, you, you, you. In the Gospel Jesus justifies the ungodly (us) Romans 4:5 and reconciles them unto...

    Paul: The Law is a Ministration of Death, 2 Cor. 3:7.

    No they didn't. Where does it say that? They were scholars of the Mosiac law. The Torah was composed of over 600 laws and rules that they had taken from the Old Testament. There are actually more than 2,000 laws in the Old Testament. Are you keeping all of them? Sin is the transgression of...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    No you didn't. All that you said is "Jesus saves sinners". I want you to tell me how Jesus saves sinners.

    Paul: The Law is a Ministration of Death, 2 Cor. 3:7.

    And you think that you are doing that? The Pharisees thought that they were able to keep the law also, they all went to hell, Romans 3:20.
