Know for sure what God’s Word REALLY says

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

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 faithHighlight John 3:36 in your BibleHe 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.

(twisted scriptures) John MacArthur & Phil Johnson: Take the Mark of the Beast & still go to heaven

John MacArthur also teaches the serious false doctrine of “once saved always saved.” He’s a major false teacher leading many astray, including many pastors.

This passage in Hebrews 6 is probably directly related. The Hebrews were facing martyrdom, which they could escape if they publicly renounced Christ. The writer to Hebrews plainly says this is unpardonable.

Hebrews 6:4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.

Revelation 14:

9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

We need to be ready to lose our heads. Taking the Mark is NOT an option!

John Elving writes under this video:

John MacArthur & Phil Johnson teach that by taking the Mark of the Beast you can still repent and go to heaven. The reasoning behind this is it is not an unforgivable sin. I reject this theory 100% because the bible teaches us that once you take the Mark of the beast you are sealed with the seal of satan and you will never repent.

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.

Sin is serious, Paul told born-again believers “they will die if they live according to the flesh” (that means to die spiritually)

A screenshot I made from what Jason Herrington wrote on Facebook.

Great to see people getting it! About 90 New Testament verses refute “once saved always saved,” “only believe,” and “it’s hard to lose one’s salvation.”

My article that I’m again offering $6,000 to anyone who can refute it: Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? — “There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT”

(that means to die spiritually)

New Testament Proof! Unrepentant Lusters Cannot Enter Heaven! — “Those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom … Those who *belong to Christ* have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts”

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)

Lies About Hell – Bill Wiese “The Man Who Went To Hell” “23 Minutes In Hell”

EXCELLENT Analysis!!!

Steve Hill was probably the main person responsible for the Brownsville Revival. He had a dream showing 7 great deceptions in the church today. Rejecting hell is #6:

Spiritual Avalanche – Steve Hill: The 7 Great Lies in the Church Today — Overemphasis of Prosperity • Exaggerated View of Grace (grace-changers nullify all divine warnings) • Antinomianism = against rules, so “anything goes” (but “Jesus didn’t set us free to sin; He set us free from sin”) • Gazing Upon Man, not God • Challenging the Authority of the Word (God didn’t really mean what He said) • Rejecting Hell • Universal Reconciliation

Beware of creating a god in your own image

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?

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. …

False teacher Jack Hibbs: “You cannot separate yourself from the love of God”

My analysis of Jack Hibbs message: That You May Know – A

Baptist pastor dies; told he hadn’t made Jesus Lord, but served self. Denied entry!!

This is Howard Pittman, a BAPTIST PASTOR whom I often mention when talking about how FEW are GOING TO HEAVEN now. In 1979, he DIED in the ambulance on his way to the hospital. At the gates of heaven, the angels told him he HADN’T MADE JESUS LORD. He had served self, so couldn’t enter, and that only 2.5% were entering heaven then, 44 years ago. Imagine how much lower the percentage is today. THIS IS SERIOUS!

How Many Will Be in Heaven? How Many Find the WAY? Only 1 in 40 — 2.5%!?!!

Warning! This LIE Sends Christians to HELL!

“Once saved always saved,” the BIGGEST lie that’s sending Christians to hell!

The false idea that we don’t actually have to abide in Christ with clear consciences (saving faith) to be “in Christ.”

Michael Brown: Can Christians Really Live Holy Lives? — “In Jesus, you know longer have to be a slave to sin”

I definitely don’t agree with Michael Brown on ‘Christian’ Zionism*, and he’s been too loose on salvation. But this is mostly good, after he gets going. My first comment below corrects one thing he said.

* (vid & text) Gaza Made Simple For Christians by Ted Pike (2009) — Real history & God’s CONDITIONAL terms still apply to Israel

– –

Michael Brown starts this statement by quoting Romans 6:1-2:

“‘What shall we say then, SHALL WE GO ON SINNING so that grace may increase? BY NO MEANS! We died to sin. HOW CAN WE LIVE IN IT ANY LONGER?’

OH! THIS IS A SPIRITUAL REALITY. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A SLAVE TO SIN. In Jesus, you don’t have to be a slave to sin. It’s a lie. It’s a lie that your mind is telling you. It’s a lie that church tradition has told you. It’s a lie that the world tells you. It’s a lie that the Devil himself tells you. In Jesus, you know longer have to be a slave to sin.”

Chad Hufford: From Now On

Good motivational message today in Anchorage at ABT, now called Mountain City Church.

Chad even included some of the 90 verses that refute “once saved always saved.” ABT has taught Alaskans the false doctrine of OSAS for many decades.

We must persevere, doing the right things daily.

Galatians 6:

 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

Jesus: “That servant WHO KNEW his lord’s will, and DIDN’T prepare nor DO what he wanted, will be beaten with MANY stripes, but he who DIDN’T KNOW… will be beaten with FEW stripes”

Jesus: “That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes.” – Luke 12:47-48

Porn & Masturbation Will Cost You Eternal Torment if you don’t repent

Jesus includes the RIGHT HAND in Matthew 5
27 You have heard that it was said [old covenant], ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you [new covenant] that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.

Paul in Galatians 5
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

6:7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. 8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap CORRUPTION. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap ETERNAL LIFE.

Could salvation be lost under the old covenant? — Conditional security in the Old Testament

Below are passages which clearly show that those in the old covenant could lose their salvation.

In my article, Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? — “There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT”, I don’t include Old Testament passages and examples, because we’re in the new covenant. Now, the Holy Spirit lives in Christians, so we’re accountable for what we do internally, not just externally.

Why Once Saved, Always Saved is Garbage — Most lost again, failing to provide oil for their lamps, soiling their wedding dress – Tertullian

Many people argue that because salvation is a “free gift,” that humans do nothing to earn it, and therefore can do nothing to lose it.

God’s Word:

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him. John 3:36 NAB

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 1 Cor. 15:1-2 ESV

“How can they be worse off if they received something that can never be taken away from them?”

20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.” 2 Peter 2:17-22 ESV

Most born-again Christians would become lost again:

God had foreseen… that faith even after baptism would be endangered. He saw that most persons after attaining unto salvation would be lost again by soiling the wedding dress, by failing to provide oil for their torches.” ~ Tertullian (c. 213)

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

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.

Chris White: Romans 11:18-22 – Explained – Once Saved Always Saved or Cut Off? — “Continuing in His kindness is required to avoid being cut off”

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.

Little Sins! – Charles Spurgeon Sermon (1859) — “Don’t you know that a little sin, carelessly indulged in will prevent your salvation?”

36:15 “Don’t you know that a little sin, carelessly indulged in will prevent your salvation?”

“These little sins show that you are still a slave to sin.” “It shows the deceitfulness of your heart, and manifests that you still love the waysof sin.”

If you love sin; though, it is a little one, your heart is not right in the sight of God. You are still a stranger to divine grace.”

“God will never be one with you until you and your sins are split apart.”
