Paul Washer is a dangerous religious teacher...
I don't think this is a fair assessment of Paul Washer. He is evidently a Calvinist, since his statement of faith says this:

Election. We teach that election is the act of God by which, before the foundation of the world, He chose in Christ those whom He graciously regenerates, saves, and sanctifies.

On the other hand, he gives the impression that only those who repent and believe are regenerated (rather than regeneration BEFORE faith as taught by most Calvinists):

Regeneration. We teach that regeneration is a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit by which the divine nature and divine life are given (John 3:3-7; Titus 3:5). It is instantaneous and is accomplished solely by the power of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the Word of God (John 5:24) when the repentant sinner, as enabled by the Holy Spirit, responds in faith to the divine provision of salvation.

Test everything. Some people/ sites/ stated that he was a false teacher for teaching repenting, but that's an error in the accuser.

However , does he teach lordship salvation like these others ? Just a heads up in case it is a correct warning - I'm not aiming at following up as this does not interest me further ....

[Search domain jesus-is-savior.com/Wolves/paul_washer_exposed.htm] Beware of Evangelist Paul Washer
Paul Washer is a dangerous religious teacher, who has corrupted the gospel of Jesus Christ (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). The truth is that Ray Comfort, Paul Washer, John MacArthur, Pat Robertson, Kirk Cameron and countless other false prophets like them (who teach the damnable heresy of Lordship Salvation) are getting angry that independent ...
That dude was very much correct of what I seen. but for the way is truly narrow in regards to being on track as wide leads one astray, the Biblical intention is to keep on the path of Jesus only.
He is talking from totally another perspective as to the wide he is on about.

I have had one religious mob claim that to be narrow minded is a good thing:rolleyes:, I reject such, I thought what the hell are they on about, narrow minded people are stupid and ignorant.
So such terms are foreign to me, I think they were claiming to be narrow minded was to be closed off from others outside of their church, not to look outside of such.
I think because they fear anyone to be able to think for themselves. you must just obey them 100 % only or they go off the rocker.
That mob claimed to me that Lordship Salvation was wrong ?

I was stating that it's all about Lordship Salvation, but they had a totally another perception to mine of Lordship Salvation from what I could gather and this had nothing to do from where I was coming from, with my point of view as to Lordship salvation.

So many things that that mob peddle is like it's all upside down to me, like we can be talking about a subject and agree, but it's not the same track in reality I find and it takes me time to understand truly where they are coming from, then when I get a handle on their point of view then I understand the devil in the detail as to why and how they have been mislead. it's like they are talking another language sort of. they have been roped into such expressions that come from another perspective.
Now they in their lives may be able to get away with talking like such because they are wage earners or on the dole, but when runs a business reality kicks in big time, one can not be narrow minded or you won't last long in business, you hope to understand everything way beyond the level that wage earners perceptions. one does not just follow blindly anyone.

Lordship Salvation is totally the way and he is correct about all them that he was on about as they are a dead church seeking merit in dead works, no wonder all of the churches have failed with rubbish like that.

Salvation is being in his Lordship only, that's the epitome of Faith right their.

I am very narrow minded. For example, I believe that 2 + 2 always equals 4. I believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. Am I stupid and ignorant because I believe these things?

2+2 = 4 that is not narrow minded at all, that's a fact.
A narrow minded person in my day were always regarded as an ignorant fool who could be mislead into thinking 2+2 = 22 or was shallow minded and simple, one who knew nothing much at all.

It's Having biased or lacking in culture in refinement view points, bigoted intolerant or prejudiced.

When I came across this two people who were modern day religious nuts, they were both claiming that narrow minded was as a virtue and I said no no ! what are you going on about, but many words that they use is mixed up somewhat to me, but then again so is words claimed to be nowadays by the media, that means totally the opposite of what such meant in my day, like the word Wicked now has done a 180 deg it's now claimed to be good or cool, Wicked in my day was hell bent deranged and not good in any way.
Or Awesome is now only, ok or fine, Awesome was only directed to God and nothing but in my day.

I could just go back in time machine to 1980 and walk around saying awesome wheels bro ! saying that one was wicked bro ! and telling others that you are narrow minded ! well I think they would sending one off to the nut house. and if you said such in Church they would be convinced you were possessed by the Devil. I am sure of that.
So many words now have been bastardised, misogynist is another our PM Gillard claimed that another PM was such, but some time later she was put under the spot light on this and she said oh no are oh are um oh, smile, well are oh um under todays terminology of the word, meaning coming from the cultural Marxist perspective is what she meant. not the true meaning of the word.
Like the word bourgeois the Communist point of view is one thing and the free world has another perception on this, as both claim the other is Bourgeois. I claim that all Socialist are bourgeois they lack class and are simple minded degenerates, but a socialist make a claim that one exploiting the worker, well that could be true but what would such as they truly know in fact about such things, they tar all with this brush, what simpletons and shallow ignorance, for when they get their way the who economy goes to the pack and everyone becomes a peasant with them scoundrels.
