“A Little Bit More” Will
Send You To Hell

"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:" —1st Corinthians
15:1-4
You
just read “THE GOSPEL” as defined in the holy Scriptures. The word “Gospel”
means “good news.” 1st Corinthians 1:18, “For the
preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but
unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” The good news is
that Christ died upon THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS, and He was buried, and He was
resurrected from the dead three days later.
The “Gospel” does not include ceasing from
a sinful lifestyle. The “Gospel” does not include making full
surrender to Christ. The “Gospel” does not include forsaking the
world. The “Gospel” does not include leaving the old life of sin. The
“Gospel” does not include asking Jesus into your heart, or starting a
relationship with Jesus, or having intent to reform. None of these things
constitute the “Gospel” of the Lord Jesus Christ!!! The “Gospel” is that
Christ died, was buried, and bodily resurrected from the dead according to the
Holy Scriptures. To learn more about Biblical repentance, please read the
excellent book 'EXCEPT
YE REPENT' by Dr. Harry Ironside.
Look what devil-preacher Dr. John MacArthur does to pervert the Gospel.
Adding to or subtracting from the “Gospel” is a
false plan of salvation which CANNOT produce the new birth by the Spirit of
God. Only by realization of our guilt of sin (sinnership) and childlike
faith (completely resting) in Jesus as our Savior does the new birth take
place. By “new birth” I mean being born-again. 1st Peter 1:23, “Being
born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of
God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
“Repentance means to change your mind—change your mind—change your mind
about how you want to get to Heaven to what God says you've got to do to get
to Heaven. If you've got to repent of all your sins, you're still headed for
Hell tonight.”
—Pastor
Bob Gray Sr., a quote from the awesome MP3 sermon,
Why You Should Be A Part Of A Growing Church
I recently had a friendly conversation with a
young teacher who is employed by the Harvest Baptist Bible College on Guam. I shared the plan of salvation
with him to see what he believed concerning salvation, because most people
have been misled by the Devil. Sure enough, he was corrupted. I told him
that the Holy Bible simply teaches admission of one's guilt as a sinner (Romans
3:19), and believing that Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried,
and resurrected after three days (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). He sadly replied,
“I think there needs to be 'A LITTLE BIT MORE' than that!” I am convinced
that that young man is not truly saved, because he thinks that to be saved
he has to make an earnest attempt to stop sinning in his life. That is what
John MacArthur teaches.
Also, Evangelist Ray Comfort teaches the same
garbage theology. See for yourself, as
Ray Comfort poisons this dear
woman's mind on an airplane, hindering her from being saved. One of the
associate pastors of Harvest Baptist Church (who is still employed there),
told me in 2015 that he considers Ray Comfort, Paul Washer and John
MacArthur all faithful men of God. Barf! Can you see and hear God vomiting
Harvest out of His mouth? Revelation 3:15-16, “I know thy works, that
thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then
because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I
will spue thee out of my mouth.” I believe this Scripture is
saying that God is so disgusted by apostate churches like Harvest Baptist
Church, that He doesn't even want to mention their name.
God is disgusted by this half-butt type of pseudo
Christianity today, that uses, sells and tolerates umpteen Bible versions;
and that promotes and tolerates the satanic heresy of Lordship Salvation.
The Lordship Salvation crowd aren't even lukewarm, they are unsaved
infidels!!! Harvest does some good in the community, but so also does Oprah
Winfrey, who greatly helps Africa's poor! Jehovah's Witnesses do good deeds
and help orphans. Some of the folks at Harvest are saved, but many are not.
This is what happens when the Gospel is obscured by multiple conflicting
Bible versions,
which propagate multiple plans of salvation.
And I am tired of lousy pastors hiding behind
“ethics” as an excuse not to expose satanic error, not to cry aloud against
cults by name, and not to tell the truth without apology. One pathetic,
spineless, jellyfish, poor excuse for a Baptist pastor (he's fortunate I
don't mention his shameful name) on Guam called Harvest their church's
“sister church.” SISTER IN WHOREDOM!!! You couldn't pay me to attend a
dung-heap like that! What a wicked thing to bid Godspeed (making him
partaker of their evil deeds) to Bible-corrupters and Calvinists, who
promote John MacArthur's damnable heresies of limited atonement,
predestination to salvation, and the perseverance of the saints (aka,
Lordship Salvation). GET RIGHT WITH GOD YOU DEVIL-PREACHERS!!! Guam's
Baptist churches are a cesspool of doctrinal iniquity, a stinking sewage
flow of apostasy today. This rotting sewage is flowing out of Pensacola
Christian College, Bob Jones University and Ambassador Bible College!
Today's Baptist churches are like a
mortally-diseased man, who refuses to receive medical treatment that will
cure him. I have spent literally thousands and thousands of dollars in
materials to help local churches, to feed them THE TRUTH, but they don't
want it. The senior pastor of Harvest took offence when I gave him Dr. Al
Lacy's beautiful book, “NIV: The
Antichrist's Bible.” I was a friend to him, his staff and church, but
they love error. Jeremiah 5:31, “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the
priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what
will ye do in the end thereof?”
And I really couldn't care less what anybody
thinks about my truthful Bible-preaching...
1st Corinthians 4:3, “But with me it is a very small thing that I should
be
judged of you,
or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.”
If you want to find a big sinner, look no further
than me, I have never claimed to be a good Christian; but I do walk with
God, and I am 100% sincere, and I do love the truth, and I am zealous over
the things of God, especially THE TRUTH of GOD'S WORD! Psalms
119:139-141, “My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten
thy words. Thy word is very pure: therefore thy
servant loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy
precepts.”
How Bob
Jones University Betrays The Holy Bible!
How
Today's Bible Colleges Woefully Deceive Everyone
Why Has So Much Heresy Crept Into The
Churches?
It is equally important for a football team to
have just as good an offensive as a defensive. The team needs BOTH. The same
is true for Christians. Our time spent studying the Word of God is reflected
in our ability to contend for the faith effectively. I know churches who
lack a weekly, organized, soul-winning program. They are not an offensive
church. To be a well-balanced Christian, you must have both a good defence
and offense. Praying is both offensive and defensive. When we pray for God's
guidance and protection, we are building up our defensive position. When we
pray for the salvation of OTHERS, we are praying offensively, attacking the
enemies of Satan and unbelief head-on through God's interceding Holy Spirit.
Having said that, we've got a really bad
defensive position in most of our churches today, thus making them
vulnerable to doctrinal corruption. The best defense against Satan is a
strong defence. That means to indoctrinate your people with the
fundamentals of the Word of
God. Teach them all about the Holy Bible, Old Testament and New
Testament. If you teach the Bible correctly, then every lesson will center
around Jesus, “for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit
of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10). John 5:39, “Search
the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are they which testify of me.” If you want to get to know
God, then you must get to know Jesus, His only begotten Son. If you want to
get to know Jesus, then you must come as a guilty sinner and receive Him as
your personal Savior (believe the Gospel), and then SEARCH THE
SCRIPTURES daily to grow in the grace of the Lord!!!
The whole problem is that America's preachers
have been negatively influenced by the new counterfeit satanic Bible
versions, which redefine
the meaning of repentance. Beware of the hundreds of new English
counterfeit Bible versions which are all rooted in the demonic works of
Brooke Westcott and
Fenton Hort (two unsaved reprobates who denied the literal existence of
a burning Hell, and of a literal Heaven with gates of pearl and streets of
gold). Satan's hands have been very busy changing the Holy Bible over the
past century (Romans 1:25). Satan knows better than anyone that the easiest
way to destroy the churches is to tamper with the Bible, and change it from
a living inspired book into a dead religious book. Satan has succeeded in
changing the Bible so many times that people no longer memorize Scriptures.
The churches are confused, just as Satan intended.
The average preacher quotes from multiple Bible
versions in a single sermon, lacking a fitting gun on the spiritual
battlefield. You can keep your New International Version (NIV) pea-shooter.
You can keep your butter-knife of the Easy-To-Read Version (ERV). Bless God,
I want the .75 Caliber Gatling-gun of the KING JAMES BIBLE!!! My point is
that we are at war the Bible says in 2nd Timothy 2:3-4, “Thou
therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No
man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he
may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” A soldier's most
important piece of equipment is his weapon, his gun. Likewise, the
Christian's weapon is the Word of God.
The Devil has sold us some useless duds and
deficient ammunition in the modern Bible PERversions. The Devil has given us
defective weapons
to cause confusion on the battlefield. The danger is that millions of
churchgoers have been deceived into believing a false plan of salvation. The
popular family religious movie titled, “Facing The Giants” (2006) is a great
film, but it teaches the heresy of Lordship Salvation.
In the film the viewer is encourage to “Follow Jesus” to find a better life.
That's not the Gospel. The Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) Rock band
“Third Stage” performs in the movie.
I've noticed that there's a run-of-the-mill,
common denominator, ecumenical, everybody gets along, type of wishy-washy
religious commitment that is being promoted across America today. And it's
all rooted in acceptable of the hundreds of counterfeit Bible versions
available today, and the satanic plan of Lordship Salvation. They all accept
the heretical teachings of John MacArthur, Paul Washer, Rick Warren, Joel
Osteen, Max Lucado, Ray Comfort, Billy and Franklin Graham, Joyce Meyer and
other apostates. They all promote Christian rock music. They all promote
Zionism and present apostate Israel. I wouldn't give you a dime for the
whole lot of them!!! None of them stand for God. It's all about money,
money, money!!!
All of the religious films produced in recent
years are grounded in the theology of the aforementioned apostates. No
wonder our churches are in such spiritual shambles, woefully ignorant of the
New World Order, blatant crimes in government, and the truth of the 9/11
attacks. If our churches don't care and expose the truth, then no one else
will either. The truth is all we have! Have you believed a lie? Are you
really born again? Are you really serving God or yourself?
Also, Roman Catholicism's false concept of
repentance has crept into evangelical circles.
The Roman Catholic understanding of repentance is unbiblical. Roman
Catholics corrupt the meaning of repent to mean a change of
lifestyle...
“To repent is to die
to Christ, discarding our former way of life in favor of the Way, Truth, and
Life that is Christ himself. ”

A Lenten
Reflection On Repentance — Catholic Online
Where in the Bible are we taught that
repentance means to “DIE TO CHRIST?” We are saved by trusting Jesus. nothing
else. Then as a Christian, God wants us to be crucified with Christ and die
to the lusts and desires of the flesh. Please understand that the saved life
and the crucified life are separate. If you combine the two, you have a
corrupted Gospel, a false plan of salvation. Dr. Jack Hyles does a wonderful
job explaining this truth in his awesome MP3 sermon titled, “STEPS
TO SANCTIFICATION (OR THE ROOT OF ALL HERESY).” We are saved by
trusting Jesus, period. Whether or not you turn away from the old lifestyle
of sin DOESN'T keep you from being saved. Eternal life is a free gift
(Romans 5:15; Ephesians 2:8-9). You can be saved by simply believing on
Jesus Christ, that He died for your sins on the cross, was buried and
raised-up from the dead three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).
Listen to what Pastor Harry Ironside correctly
states in
chapter 16 of his book,
EXCEPT YE
REPENT . . .
“In all that I have written I have failed completely to express what was
surging up in my soul if I have given anyone the impression that I think
of repentance as something meritorious which must be produced in man by
self-effort ere he is fit to come to God for salvation.”
SOURCE: Dr. Harry Ironside, a quote from chapter 16,
THE
PREACHING THAT PRODUCES REPENTANCE, from his timeless classic
book,
EXCEPT YE REPENT.
In other words, you don't have to stop sinning
to be saved! Nor do you have to make a full surrender to serve Christ to be
saved. Nor do you have to recognize Jesus as absolute Lord of your life to
be saved. These are NOT a part of God's plan of salvation. God's simple plan
is that YOU ARE A SINNER! Christ paid your sin debt in full. Unless you
accept the
gospel as full payment for your sins, you will spend eternity in the
fires of Hell after you hear the Lord's horrifying words...
I NEVER KNEW YOU! (Matthew
7:21-23).
May I say, whether you believe in DOING GOOD DEEDS
or STOPPING BAD DEEDS as a requirement to be saved, both are DEAD WORKS!!!
Hebrews 6:1, “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of
Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.”
Here we plainly learn in Hebrews 6:1 that repentance unto salvation means
repentance from DEAD WORKS. There's no difference between trusting in
your own “MANY WONDERFUL WORKS” as the unsaved religious people in Matthew
7:21-23, or the Lordship Salvationist who believes that he has to try to
stop sinning, surrender to Christ, and forsake the world in order to be
saved.
Michael Patrick Bowen makes the excellent quote
from his book, I NEVER KNEW YOU . . .
You can live for
Christ, you can love Christ, you can serve Him with all your might, time,
talent and wealth. You can pray to Him, read your Bible, get
water-baptized, join a church, witness to people, and do every wonderful
work contained within the realm of Christianity, but if you fail to trust
Jesus Christ alone for your salvation, He will “dump” you.

Lordship Salvation attempts to force people
to live a righteous life by ADDING repentance from sin as a
prerequisite to being saved. In sharp contrast, Romans 4:5 simply
states... "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that
justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
"For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life." —John 3:16
Please read the following excellent explanation concerning the
gospel and repentance by Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951).
Clearly, Ironside taught a Free Grace view of the gospel...
“The
Gospel is not a call to repentance, or to amendment of our ways, to make
restitution for past sins, or to promise to do better in the future. These
things are proper in their place, but they do not constitute the Gospel; for
the Gospel is not good advice to be obeyed, it is good news to be believed. Do
not make the mistake then of thinking that the Gospel is a call to duty or a
call to reformation, a call to better your condition, to behave yourself in a
more perfect way than you have been doing in the past …
Nor
is the Gospel a demand that you give up the world, that you give up your sins,
that you break off bad habits, and try to cultivate good ones. You may do all
these things, and yet never believe the Gospel and consequently never be saved
at all.”
