We appropriate the blood of Jesus when we repent and give our heart to Christ.[/QUOTE]
All great stuff.It ain’t the Gospel......
Is it so difficult for you to do what God “ REQUIRES” you to do in 1Cor15:1-4 in order to be Saved? THAT is what is called “ Paul’s Gospel”......It was the True Gospel That Saves If ONLY BELIEVED and NOT added to ! It was given to Paul personally by Jesus . There is NO talk of “ Repentance” contained in it —- you “ Repent” when you go from doubter of the Gospel to Believer in that Gospel — you “ change your mind” about the gospel —— THAT is what leads to Salvation.....
“ Giving your Heart to Jesus” sounds great and it is, but the True Gospel doe not contain that either . Where, in “ your” plan does it say “ Jesus died for my Sins”.......Where In “ your” plan dies it say we must believe that Jesus “ rose from the dead”.....
There are several Promises Of God that can Save a person....this side of the Cross , ALL of them require Faith in the ResurrectionOf Jesus .....Paul’s Gospel,requires you to Believe also that Jesus died for your Sins.....that automatically infers that you “ See” that you are a Sinner, It infers that you “ Admit” you are a Sinner , It infers that you know that only Jesus can take away those sins and you can’t.....
These are the things that are important to God .....He “ could” have thrown in the things that “ you” said, but He didn’t.” Giving your heart to Jesus sounds good and Is good , but one could say “ I Give my heart go Jesus” and theoretically never admit that he is a Sinner who MUST have a Savior and that person , theoretically never Believe in the Resurrection and that appears to be VITAL in the Mind Of God.....
I can’t take an extremely hard view against what you are claiming....it depends on what you mean by “ repent “. Your history says that every time you see the word “ repent”, you think it means, “ repent of sins” . If that is what you mean ( and it probably is) , you can forget what I just said....you are WRONG , period ! End of this discussion. If “ Giving your heart to Jesus” is the same thing as Jesus knocking at the door Of you heart, and you inviting Him in to cleanse and Save you— you GOT something....you HAVE chapter and Verse .....But, if you mean by “ Giving your heart to Jesus” you are now going to “ straighten up and fly right”, you are Wrong again....
Your stuff “ may” be onto something ....then again, it could be a Subtle way to fool one’s self into Damnation....it all depends on the definitions of your words.....knowing you, you are probably wrong.....you never denounce your Doctrine Of “ Lucky Repentance, do you? You’re gonna hang on to that False , Perverted “ Gospel” until the cows come home.....
Here is some great advice for Newbies.....Paul has told us that when we stand before God, we are gonna be JUDGED by “ HIS” Gospel and that would-be the Gospel Of 1 Cor15:1-4......Let’s be CERTAIN of our Salvation —- let’s go with THAT as our “ Elixir” for our Sin Problem ......THAT is the Gospel That in Hebrews 3 and 4 God says that we either REST in it or He will declare us “ Disobedient” and Guilty Of “ Unbelief”..? It makes no sense to Gamble with other stuff.....no matter how good it sounds.....
If you are not trusting in Paul’s Gospel Of Grace to make you “ fit for Heaven” ....change your mind a bout that.....in other words —- REPENT ! God Bless ......
