1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
Many church pastors, evangelists and religious leaders have men's blood on
their hands. The heresy of Lordship Salvation has
infected most of our churches today.
Evangelist Paul Washer is a heretic who teaches Lordship Salvation.
Kindly, I had a Baptist pastor not too long ago tell me that he thinks Paul
Washer is a godly Christian and supports him. He's a reprobate just like Mr.
Washer. I'd mention his name, but he's a nobody and I don't want to promote
him, because he doesn't deserve to be known (and thank God he's just a small
time heretic). On the other hand, Paul Washer is extremely well known, which
is why I expose him so much.
Paul Washer plainly teaches that
without works no man can ever go to Heaven! How could any shameful pastor
support this evil man? It is evil to teach a false plan of salvation, when
you've been repeatedly warned from other doctrinally sound Christians.
Paul Washer is a graduate of
Southwestern
Theological Baptist Cemetery, a hotbed of Calvinism (all
5 major teachings of John Calvin, aka, Calvinism are massive lies!!!).
Please notice in our text passage of Scripture above that the Holy Bible clearly defines “the Gospel” as Christ's death on the cross for our sins, His burial, and His bodily resurrection three days later. Repentance is coming to the realization that you are a guilty sinner in the eyes of a holy God in Heaven, and thus, you see your need for the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. The man who repents, believes!
The Devil has infiltrated the churches with new counterfeit Bible versions, which ALL redefine repentance concerning salvation to mean “a change of lifestyle” instead of “a change of mind.” For example, let's examine Mark 1:15 in the “Easy-To-Read” PERversion as compared to the trustworthy King James Bible. The Greek word for “repent” in Mark 1:15 in the King James Bible is metanoeo, which means, “to think differently.” It is a change of mind. It DOESN'T mean to “change your hearts and lives,” which is what the corrupt ERV says!!! . . .
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” [emphasis added]
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) — Mark 1:15, “He said, “The right time is now here. God’s kingdom is very near. Change your hearts and lives, and believe the Good News!” [emphasis added]
That is wrong, wrong, wrong! You don't have to change your own life as a requirement to be saved! Rather, it is the indwelling Holy Spirit that comes into a person at the time of salvation Who changes one's heart and life, over time as they grow in grace by nurturing on the milk of the Word (1st Peter 2:2). But if a new believer is not mentored, then there very likely won't be any personal growth. This is why part of The Great Commission is to indoctrinate new converts with the teachings of the Word of God (Matthew 28:19-20). Anyone who tells you that you must change your ways, habits or sinful deathstyle to be saved is a BIG LIAR! Eternal life is a free gift (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9). A gift can only be received, not achieved. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith. God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved, He will only save those who are trusting to be saved. If you forsook your sins as part of being saved, YOU DIDN'T GET SAVED!!!
The truth is very
simple—you can receive the free gift of eternal life without choosing to
become a follower (disciple) of Jesus. That's what believer's rewards are all
about at the Judgment Seat of Christ (2nd Corinthians 5:1-11)! The Bible
mentions the man who is saved by the skin of his brow, “saved; yet, so as
by fire”! 1st Corinthians 3:15, “If any man's work shall be burned,
he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”
Now if works are required to be saved, as Paul Washer teaches, then this
man could not have entered into Heaven at all (because he had no works!). But
we read here that this man was saved, although he lost any rewards that he
could have earned by following Christ as a born-again believer. This is
correct Bible teaching!
Salvation comes ONLY by the imputed (transferred) righteousness of Christ in response to our faith in the Gospel. The false notion that repentance requires forsaking sinful activities or habits ADDS human effort (works) to the simplicity that is in Jesus Christ (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). Please watch the excellent video, “How To Go To Heaven When You Die,” by Dr. Hank Lindstrom. Dr. Lindstrom clearly and accurately explains the two big decisions that every person needs to make to please God: 1) To believe the Gospel to be saved; and then (as a new believer), 2) to become a disciple (follower) of Jesus Christ. These are two separate unrelated decisions. Most people in the churches today are Christ followers on their way straight to Hell-fire, because of the new counterfeit Bible versions that have redefined theology, misleading churchgoers to think they must stop committing intentional sins to be saved.
Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.” Did you read that? ...NOT HAVING MINE OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS! If a person must forsake sinful habits, the world, selfish ambitions and wicked ways to receive the free gift of God, then they are required to put forth THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS to be saved!!! Today's apostate, chicken-shack, hen-pecked, soft-soapin', penny-pinchin', pink-tea-and-lemonade, sissified, pantywaist, sorry-rascal, dead-beat, preachers, who teach the perversion of Lordship Salvation in place of the Gospel have much blood on their hands!!! I don't care if my Bible-preaching harelips every dog in the county, I know I am right according to the Words of God in the precious King James Bible!!! Get right with God!
THE END
