God’s Definition of “Believing” Involves “Obeying”

On September 6, 2024

In Doctrines Demystified, Who Goes to Heaven

David Sproule, March 4, 2016

“He who believes in Me has everlasting life” (John 6:47). “Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).

Believing on Jesus is a central and critical doctrine of the Bible—essential to a relationship with Him….

But, what does it mean to believe in Jesus? ..is it merely talking about a heartfelt, mental assent…?

Scripture often uses the words “believe” and “obey” interchangeably, emphasizing God’s view of faith as an obedient faith. Highlight John 3:36 in your Bible. “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (NASB). Note carefully that “eternal life” is for one who “believes” but “not” for one who does not “obey.” The words, in God’s dictionary, mean the same thing. In your margin next to John 3:36, write Hebrews 3:18-19. “And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.” Again, the words are synonymous.

Most pastors today don’t teach what Jesus taught about who goes to heaven

Most pastors today don’t teach what Jesus taught.

We must actually abide in Christ to be “in Christ,” to then have “no condemnation,” because we “walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”

That’s real Christianity.

What the Early Christians Believed About Divorce and Remarriage — Christ is not going to take a bride that is unfaithful to what He taught – David Bercot

1:08:00 “… That simply is not acceptable before God. He is not going to take a bride for Christ that is unfaithful to what Christ has taught.” – David Berkot

A century ago, it was extremely rare for a non-Christian—let alone a Christian—to obtain a divorce. Today, so-called Bible-believing Christians divorce one another just as frequently as does the world. The reason is that the Church has abandoned Christ’s teaching on divorce and remarriage.

In this message, Bercot looks at the New Testament teachings on divorce and explains how those passages were applied by the early Christians.

Michael Brown: Questions About “NAR,” the Holy Spirit and Revival

On June 22, 2024

In Doctrines Demystified, Doctrines of Demons?, Revival

PROGRESS: Michael here calls himself “Michael Brown” instead of “Dr. Michael Brown,” what Jesus said not to do (Mt. 23:1-12). Michael has been a serial offender and a bad example. “Knowledge puffs up….”

NO PROGRESS & DISINFO: Michael can’t explain why God isn’t moving powerfully in our churches today, which to me, has been obvious for decades — lack of holiness. Still, no one teaches this verse, which should be our norm, that when we’re ONE with each other in Christ “the world will know,” Jesus’ promise in John 17. Paul: “..I also practice *ALWAYS* having a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENSE toward God and MEN” (Acts 24:16).

Many are calling churches “NAR,” when they are not. Michael explains.

Difference between getting the Holy Spirit during conversion and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Apostles still exist in this way.

The “kundalini spirit” nonsense.

By the way, I can’t leave comments under Michael’s videos, because he blocked me years ago; though, I was carefully sharing biblical truth. He’s been a serial blocker too, sadly. That’s how gatekeepers operate.

NOTE: I don’t necessarily agree with all of this. A lot of ground and ideas are covered! Luther was no saint himself and helped originate the false doctrine of “only believe.”

Interesting that John MacArthur supports the rebuilding of the third temple with the blasphemous animal sacrifices, which Paul warns us of in 2 Thess. 2. MacArthur also pushes hard the cessation of the gifts of the Spirit and OSAS/”once saved always saved.” He’s a major false teacher.

Michael Brown Vs Corey Minor on Speaking in Tongues

On April 11, 2024

In Doctrines Demystified, Doctrines of Demons?, Pray Perfectly in Tongues!, Prayer

NOTE: I definitely do not support all of Michael Brown’s views and practices. Michael supports the anti-Christ, NWO, Talmudic system that’s taking us down, while having admitted that Jesus strongly rebuked the Pharisees, who were Talmudists.

Most of what he says here is good, but his idea that the apostles were speaking in Armenian in Acts 2 and not in tongues is bizarre.

Biblically speaking, tongues are mainly people’s personal prayer language in which the Holy Spirit speaks through people mysteries that “no one understands,” which builds up the speaker.

The most popular, current false teaching says it can only be an Acts-2 experience in which foreigners understand, which the rest of the texts clearly refute.

Michael Brown mentions the blessing with the spirit aspect (verses 16 and 17).

I would add that I believe a main reason that Christians are built up when praying in tongues is because tongues is often perfectly praying against evil spirits, perhaps to angels in their language, who then deal with the demons. And this may be why Paul says tongues are praying in the language of men and angels in 1 Cor. 13:1. Praying in the Spirit can set us and others FREE!

Nice ending:

Brown: “Can we both agree and say ‘Father, we want everything that You have for us in the fullness of the Spirit to glorify Jesus and nothing that’s not from You. … I pray that for you. You pray that for me. Fair enough?”

Minor: “Fair enough.”

“What’s the motivation to want to wear something like that in the first place? Are we really to believe that the motivation is ‘well I think I’m glorifying God?’“

“The sin of a man is to want to get physical gratification out of people that you shouldn’t be. The sin of a women is to arouse interest that you shouldn’t want.”

Jesus warned us in Matthew 5 in the strongest language that if we look at a woman to lust for her we’re committing adultery with her in our hearts. So He said we need to do whatever we have to control our eyes and our “right hand” so our whole bodies will not be thrown into hell when we die.

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery’ [old covenant].But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand [masturbation] causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (Mt. 5:27-31)

Adam and Eve’s children produced children with each other. Why was that okay at the start, long before Moses prohibited incest?

On January 27, 2024

In Doctrines Demystified

Was the world populated through incest…

Here is Ryrie’s comment on this issue from his book Basic Theology (1986 ed):

We know that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters in addition to Abel, Cain, and Seth (Gen. 5:4), and if there was only one original family, then the first marriages had to be between brothers and sisters. Such marriages in the beginning were not harmful. Incest is dangerous because inherited mutant genes that produce deformed, sickly, or moronic children are more likely to find expression in children if those genes are carried by both parents. Certainly, Adam and Eve, coming from the creative hand of God, had no such mutant genes. Therefore, marriages between brothers and sisters, or nieces and nephews in the first and second generations following Adam and Eve would not have been dangerous.

Many, many generations later, by the time of Moses, incest was then prohibited in the Mosaic laws undoubtedly for two reasons: first, such mutations that caused deformity had accumulated to the point where such unions were genetically dangerous, and second, it was forbidden because of the licentious practices of the Egyptians and Canaanites and as a general protection against such in society.

Beware of creating a god in your own image

In Biblically Disqualified Leaders?, Demons in Christians?, Doctrines Demystified, Who Goes to Heaven

Most pastors teach an unbalanced version of God. They only teach the kindness aspect, never the SEVERITY of God, which Paul clearly taught:

Romans 11:20 ..Don’t be conceited, but FEAR; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches [the truly ethnic Jews], neither will he spare you. 22 See then the GOODNESS *and* SEVERITY of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, IF YOU CONTINUE in his GOODNESS; OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALSO BE *CUT OFF* [like in Mt. 7:19 and John 15:6].

What Is The Book Of Life? Whose Names Are In It?

On January 26, 2024

In Doctrines Demystified, Who Goes to Heaven

This seems to be a subject that won’t be fully understood until we see Jesus face to Face, when we know fully even as we are fully known (1 Cor. 13).

We know for sure that all born-again Christians have their names in the Book of Life, and only the overcomers do not have their names removed from it when they’re judged by Jesus.

This article makes key points:

It is good to have your name written in the Book of Life

The apostle Paul addressed his fellow believers as, “…my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life” (Philippians 4:3 ESV). This clearly tells us that Christians have their names written in the Book of Life.

“The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels” (Revelation 3:5 ESV). This passage tells us that perseverance is essential to one who has his or her name written in the Book of Life. Faithfulness to God is crucial to having one’s name secure in God’s kingdom. This verse also reinforces the fact that it is Jesus who determines whose name is, or is not, in the Book of Life. …

Holiness is not legalism | Doing what you want is not grace

On January 26, 2024

In Doctrines Demystified, Doctrines of Demons?, Images

Holiness is normal Christianity. Willfully sinning without fully repenting is leaving Christ, being a prodigal son.

Abiding in Christ is required to not be cut off, thrown into the fire and burned. We must overcome by God’s enabling grace.

WITHOUT HOLINESS, no one will see the Lord, but will FALL SHORT OF THE GRACE OF GOD!

“Follow after peace with ALL men, and the SANCTIFICATION WITHOUT WHICH NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD, looking carefully lest there be any man who FALLS SHORT OF THE GRACE OF GOD; lest any ROOT OF BITTERNESS springing up trouble you, and many be DEFILED by it.” – Hebrews 12:14-15

God’s holiness standard, Ephesians 4:11-16

11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 *UNTIL WE ALL* ATTAIN to the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a FULL GROWN man, to THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST; 14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every WIND OF DOCTRINE [“once saved, always saved” (OSAS), “it’s hard to lose one’s salvation,” “only believe,” don’t have to actually abide in Christ to be “in Christ,” etc.], by the TRICKERY of men , in CRAFTINESS, after the WILES OF ERROR; [repeating the OSAS greatest hits verses over and over, taken out of context; ignoring the 80 that tell the truth] 15 but speaking TRUTH in love, we may GROW UP IN ALL THINGS INTO HIM, who is the head, Christ; 16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in LOVE.

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.” – Romans 8:14

Do All Liars Go to Hell? Do Any Liars Go to Heaven?

Summary: This article is not enjoyable to write. But if God uses it to change even one person’s eternal destiny from hell to heaven, I will be thrilled. The point according to Scripture? Unrepentant, habitual liars go to hell when they die. The first three verses we’ll look at below make that very clear. I urge you to set aside any “but, but” reactions until you see what the Scriptures say about the practice of lying. Some ask: Do liars go to heaven? The answer is found by examining the negative — that is, to answer biblically the question: Do liars go to hell? More specifically, do all liars go to hell? The Bible has answers. There are only two destinations, heaven or hell. Your choices in this life determine where you end up.
