Once Saved, Always Saved? – Answering The Error – Charles Stanley Refuted

By

In Doctrines Demystified, Doctrines of Demons?, Who Goes to Heaven

Excellent video! I found this segment especially helpful:

19:15 Charles Stanley says: “In 1 Corinthians chapter 3, Paul makes it very clear about losing our reward when we live a life of sin.”

But Paul wasn’t talking about living a life of sin in 1 Cor. 3. “If any man’s work is burned” refers to his work, the Corinthians falling away:

Aaron Gallagher: “[Paul is] saying that if those converts that [he] taught, were baptized, if they fall away, Paul will still be saved but they won’t.”

1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers… 3 for you are still fleshly. … 6 I planted. Apollos watered. … 9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it. … 12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble, 13 each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is. 14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

Romans 11:20 ..Don’t be conceited, but FEAR; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches [the 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].

“Continuing in His kindness is required to avoid being cut off from this tree.”

“There are upwards of 80 passages in the New Testament that suggest in one way or another that a believer can fall away from the faith.”

9:00 John Calvin‘s explanation is that Paul is basically lying to his readers to scare them.
R. C. Sproul avoided the passage completely.

“A sin is a sin, whether done in private or before the wide world.”

“Tell thine own conscience now what it is. Look it in the face. Confess it before God. May He give you grace to remove that sin and any other, and turn to Him with full purpose of heart.”

“Christians, recollect that little sins will spoil your communion with Christ. Little sins, like little stains in silk, may damage the fine texture of fellowship; little sins, like little irregularities in the machinery, may spoil the whole fabric of your religion.”

“..my friend, will you have your sin and go to hell, or leave your sin and go to heaven?”

“..will ye keep your secret sins, and have eternal fire for them? Remember it is of no use, they must all be given up, or else you cannot be God’s child. You cannot by any means have both; it cannot be God and the world, it cannot be Christ and the devil; it must be one or the other.

I just updated & expanded: The Didache (70-100 AD): Reconciliation was required to attend early church meetings! “Let no one who is at odds with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned”

By

On July 21, 2023

In Doctrines Demystified, Getting Right with Each Other, Real History, Who Goes to Heaven

Is The Didache a blueprint for the way churches should be?

This is one of the writings of “the early Christian fathers” that I especially liked. It’s big on unity!

What if we compare The Didache to what is practiced in today’s ‘churches?’ 

But every Lord’s day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one who is at odds with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned.

Is there even one ‘church’ in America that requires reconciliation? How many pastors have fully reconciled so they’re qualified to lead?

The Didache mentions prophets being a common leadership ministry in the late first century church (like Ephesians 4:11). Where are they in today’s churches?

The Didache also has “the way of death” list that is similar to Paul’s “will not inherit the Kingdom” list in Galatians 5.

It’s the difference between the old and new covenants. The 6th commandment, ‘Thou shall not commit adultery’ meant sex outside of marriage. In the New Testament Jesus says that lusting in one’s heart after women is adultery – Mt. 5:27-29. Prager is Jewish.

Calvary Chapel’s ‘Don’t Talk’ Rule: Even “In a situation where something in the church is so completely wrong that the sheep in the body are in spiritual danger, then say nothing to anybody, resign, and move on”

Excerpt from “The Ministry of an Assisting Pastor” by Larry Taylor (1994), Calvary Chapel’s primer for Assisting Pastors

(Note: Larry Taylor has since repented of the this book and it’s contents and left CC)

7. Never Gossip

Gossip is a sin that most of us feel we are not guilty of, and which most of us are very guilty of. Gossip may be defined as saying anything negative, whether true or not, to anyone about the pastor or about the ministry. If there are things wrong, take it to the Lord in prayer. Tell absolutely no one, including your spouse. Do not repeat anything that would cast aspersion on the ministry in any way. Doing so dishonors Christ and His cause.

But, you say, what do you do if there are real problems? Pray about them and forget them. If that doesn’t work, take your concerns directly and only to the pastor himself, and share with him honestly. If that doesn’t work, resign, and move on. Under no circumstances should you ever say anything negative about the pastor or the ministry to anyone, even after you’ve quit.

In a situation where something in the church is so completely wrong that the sheep in the body are in spiritual danger, then say nothing to anybody, resign, and move on. If the church is a Calvary Chapel affiliate, then take your concerns and share them privately with Pastor Chuck or with Oden Fong, then drop it; leave it alone. Let them handle it. Trust God. He’ll correct the situation. But do not gossip. It is a terrible sin before God.

Sermon on the Mount 7 – Lust, Adultery & Victory Over Both – Matthew 5:27-30 – Kerrigan Skelly — “Is a little bit of pleasure you receive from lust worth everything: your life, your soul, your *eternity*?”

By

On February 24, 2023

In Doctrines Demystified, Lust Freedom!, Who Goes to Heaven

What Jesus said: Adultery in the Heart (Matthew 5:27-30)

“You have heard that it was said to those of old [old covenant], ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you [new covenant] 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.

Kerrigan Skelly explains how Jesus’ lust warning in Matthew 5 is absolutely serious! @ 39:00

“What I think Jesus is trying to communicate right here using hyperbole [overstatement to make a graphic point] is to teach this truth:

Do whatever it takes to get rid of the sin. Do whatever it takes. Why? Because your sin will cost you everything, everything in the end. And it’s better to lose whatever you have to lose than to keep sinning and lose Jesus and salvation. It’s better to get rid of whatever you need to get rid of to stop from going to eternal hell in the end.

Lust also many times involves the use of your hand or your hands. The same principle applies to verse 30 as to verse 29.

The question remains: is a little bit of pleasure you receive from lust worth everything: your life, your soul, your eternity? And if you answer ‘no,’ you need to prove it by your actions.”

False doctrine starts if we conform the Word to our experience – Skelly @ 1:03:35

“Conforming the Word to your experience instead of conforming your experience to the Word is definitely a problem. That’s how false doctrine starts.”

The Christian and Romans 7

by Shem Peachey

[Out of print – 1976]

How would you feel if the Bible taught that you could never rise higher in your spiritual life than the man in Romans 7? Would you shout “Praise the Lord” or would you flounder in the “Slough of Despond”? Let us together be challenged to understand Romans 7 as we believe Paul intended for it to be understood.

Chapter 6 is recognized as the new birth passage of Romans, echoing chapter 5. “How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” (Romans 6:2). Romans 6:1-11 explains the process of the new birth, and 6:12-23 describes the new life. Repeatedly, we are said to have died with Christ and to sin. Four times we are said to be risen with Christ, or to be alive unto God. And three times in Romans 6 we are said to be free from sin.

Why we think Hell is too much punishment

By

On February 18, 2023

In Doctrines Demystified, Hell is Real - Forever!

We are often trying to evaluate the properness of the punishments we see in our society and even in the Bible. This, I think, is one area where we our intuitions are generally off base.

Let me add some more thoughts for you to consider as you evaluate this idea. Did you know that most prisoners agree that their prison sentences are too harsh? Did you know that criminals are far more likely to have a low view of law enforcement in general? While we can grant that, in some cases, people are unjustly punished by the law we can also recognize that people who break the law are generally more likely to minimize their offense and think that even a just sentence is unjust. But what if we apply this observation to people’s intuitions about the justness of Hell? It basically means that those who have moral guilt before God are more likely to think that Hell is unjust than they are to think that their sin deserves such a punishment. It seems to be a constant feature of the human condition that we will justify ourselves and even go so far as to demonize God Himself if He is going to truly bring down justice for our sins. I think it’s much more wise to assume that, if I can’t see the justness of Hell, then God is wiser than me and I am suffering from a culture of minimizing sin.
