They don’t know, and they don’t care.”

Excerpt from:
Charles Finney (1835): Instruction of Young Converts — “AIM AT BEING PERFECT. It should be their constant purpose to live wholly to God…. IF THEY SHOULD SIN it would be an inconsistency…. THEY OUGHT NOT TO SIN AT ALL; they are bound to be as holy as God is. And young converts should be taught to set out in the right course OR THEY WILL NEVER BE RIGHT”
Young converts should be taught so as to understand what perseverance is. It is astonishing how people talk about perseverance. As if the doctrine of perseverance was “Once in grace, always in grace,” or, “Once converted, sure to go to heaven.” This is not the idea of perseverance.
The true idea [perseverance of the saints theory] is, that if a man is truly converted, he will continue to obey God. And as a consequence, he will surely go to heaven.
But if a person gets the idea, that because he is converted, therefore he will assuredly go to heaven, that man will almost assuredly go to hell.

“It takes integrity to speak the truth. And it takes a love and a passion to see people free.
Jesus said, ‘ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.’ You have to actually love people who you see are in a particular bondage to tell them the truth, because you know that the truth will get them out of it.
If you don’t love them. If you don’t have a compassion for them. If you see them simply as objects that can put money in your pocket if you manipulate them, then you’re not going to enlighten them to this truth. …
What is happening is that we don’t have leaders that love the people enough to tell them the truth, and then sacrifice their own lives for telling the truth. Because when you speak the truth, people want to come at you and shut you up.”

Caravan to Midnight, Ep. 87, 7/1/14
Transcribed by Jeff Fenske
Even most born-again Christians have intentionally left the sin door open so long that the Holy Spirit has backed off, giving them space — to be comfortable, justifying their own sin, along with the others — though, deep down in their hearts they know….
…thinking they’re going to heaven no matter what.

The grace changers are teaching the people to repent from the idea that we need to repent. They’re teaching a different gospel, which appeals to the flesh. As a result, today, most ‘Christians’ aren’t really following Christ — and are currently, not real, going-to-heaven Christians. They need to repent.
––
“There seems to be two alternative definitions for the word “repentance” in church circles today. One involves turning from evil and self and walking towards God and light. The other idea of repentance is to think that because of what Jesus did for us on the cross we must stop thinking it is necessary to turn from darkness to light — so it is a kind of “change of mind” on that issue towards a belief that we are free to go on sinning without being condemned by God.”

You hear these doctrines like “a Christian cannot have a demon” and “a Christian cannot stop sinning” and “you can’t out-sin the grace of God” and that “one moment of believing confers eternal life irrevocably.” Read the Bible and tell me where this all comes from.

We can choose to love no matter what — by Jesus’ grace:
– –
“Do you know what hurts so very much? It’s love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.”

A.W. Tozer said this many years ago. Now it is too late, “MY MEN have been REJECTED.” Pastors insisted they could do it alone (Eph. 4:11-16 abandoned), and took us into false doctrine to where now most ‘Christians’ aren’t abiding in Christ. My 2008 prophecy:
“We need a baptism of clear seeing. We desperately need seers who can see through the mist–Christian leaders with prophetic vision. Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation. And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our worldly orthodoxy.”
