    The Critical Link Between Belief and Obedience

    Let’s begin with Matthew 7 (Amp) 21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done...

    A Thanksgiving Special: Who really was Jesus?

    Let us consider the omnipotence, omnipresense, and omniscience of Jesus. IMO, the church has always said that Jesus was “fully man” and “fully God”. However, I am not willing to agree with this. This is not only a technical issue, but a logical one as well. Consider that it was “the Word” who...

    Comparing church leaders of Jesus’ time, then the RCC, and now today

    Scripture affirms that both God and man are triune in nature. And there are also spiritual truths that come in 3’s. I’ve been shouting for years … “Man is a total and complete spiritual idiot.” “Satan is the god/ruler of this world/age.” “Man’s free-will is King concerning his spiritual...

    All the evidence you will ever need to trash the false pre-trib rapture

    If you simply read the various prophetic verses about the return of Christ … the Bible clearly teaches that believers will be gathered at His second coming, and NOT at some secret return that precedes His BIG coming at the end of the tribulation! Unfortunately, there is just not enough space to...

    The Result of Sin and False Doctrines on BACs in the Last Days

    PART 1 ••• It is necessary to understand God’s fierce wrath against sin! Sin is rebellion against God’s law, and His law is unchangeable. The law of Jehovah is the foundation of His government in heaven and upon earth. It truly is as sacred as God Himself, and He requires implicit obedience...

    Many new covenant Scriptures exhort and encourage believers to live godly lives, but they do not threaten losing eternal life … However, many do! Following is a list of clear Scriptural warnings that a BAC can lose his/her eternal life! These verses speak of...

    Don’t ignore Jesus’ warnings at the end of The Book!

    A covenant can be broken by one (or both) of the parties involved. For those who have not quite figured out what God’s new covenant is all about, Jesus clarifies it at the end of The Book … Revelation 21:7-8 • “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My...

    Evidence that only the sins prior to conversion are forgiven

    Jesus’ precious blood cleanses ONLY those sins committed BEFORE being born-again! God’s new covenant righteousness – justified by grace through faith Romans 3 (NKJV): 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets (i.e. the...

    A Summary of God’s Plan re: Sin > Savior > Sanctification > Salvation

    This is what I see as being clearly taught in the Scriptures … Man is born with an inherited sin nature, which separates him from our Holy God. Man is born with a totally free will (as Adam & Eve were), thus he is not God’s robot. In God’s old covenant, some of His people were obedient and...

    Jesus’ narrow way is opposed to the cheap grace way

    Jesus came preaching His gospel of salvation to the Jews … “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24) The Narrow Way Matthew 7: 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who...

    Scripture threatens loss of salvation to pre-tribulationists!

    2 Thessalonians 2 (NKJV): 1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one...

    It is very important to understand what “the crown of life” is

    From The Applied New Testament Commentary (Thomas Hale): “The believer who perseveres will receive the crown of life. The “crown of life” is the crown of victory over sin, or the crown of victory in our life’s race. The main meaning of the crown of life is salvation, or eternal life (see Mark...

    What Christians must do to inherit eternal life

    “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter the kingdom of heaven (*) but he who does the will of My Father in heaven … I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matt 7:21-23) We see from the passage above: • those who do the will...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    Alternate title Choose this day whom you will believe: Scripture and the Holy Spirit, or your church. Reasons why the churches historically have taught false doctrines • Satan is “the god/ruler of this age/world” (2 Cor 4:4, John 12:31) “the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world”...

    It is mandatory for BACs to participate in their salvation

    It is critical for a BAC to not have the wrong impression about his righteousness before God. Some people were righteous before Jesus started handing out free righteousness “And they (Zacharias and Elizabeth) were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the...

    Don’t miss a very special baker’s dozen of super items!

    We have here a very special baker’s dozen (13) … not of delicious donuts, but of Scripture passages which instruct us what is required for salvation. God’s free gift of grace-faith has provided us with His Spirit to help us, but now we need to continue on with our part in the salvation process...

    The NT insists you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!

    There are multitudes of warning passages that do not blatantly warn of losing eternal life. Here is one of my favorites: Matt 7:24-27 • “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the...

    The unpopular (but deadly) truth of conditional salvation

    Here’s a page full of “conditional salvation” verses … 1 Cor 15:1-2 • Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, IF you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in...

    What Scripture reveals about man’s salvation

    This is my attempt to reconcile the many conflicting Scriptures and doctrines re: man’s salvation. Note-1: Throughout Scripture, God has desired man to co-operate in His endeavors on earth. Note-2: God has somewhat hidden several negative truths that are extremely unpopular. Scripture...
