He That Believeth Is Justified From All Things

Acts 13:38-39, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”

I love this passage of Scripture in Acts 13:39. Whosoever BELIEVES on the name of Jesus are JUSTIFIED from ALL THINGS! That means ETERNAL SECURITY! That means ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED! And let me say confidently on biblical authority: ETERNAL LIFE is ETERNAL SECURITY! These are not two separate doctrines; but rather, they are one and THE SAME. That is, the man who has Eternal Life also has Eternal Security.

I am sick and tired of lying false prophets in bad churches everywhere today, errantly teaching that God won't save you unless you are first willing to forsake a lifestyle of sinning. That constitutes WORKS dear reader! These ungodly deceptive pastors (sadly including most Baptists today) will deceitfully say that you're not saved by works, but then tell you that if your faith doesn't produce works you did really get saved. They are LIARS!

Instead of adding works to frontload the Gospel, they are adding works on the backside of the Gospel. What saith the Scripture? Romans 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.” Carefully notice that the inspired Word of God doesn't say to repent (change your mind) to turn away from your sin (bad works).

Contrariwise, the Bible teaches to repent to turn away from your “DEAD WORKS” (which includes all works that cannot merit you Heaven). You cannot get to heaven by doing good works. You cannot get to Heaven by forsaking bad works (sins). If you want to hear a tremendous sermon by Pastor Jack Hyles on this topic, it is titled: “HE DIED FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS TOO.” Isaiah 64:6b declares that “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.” Committing even one sin disqualifies a sinner from going to Heaven (James 2:10).

Since we have all sinned (Romans 3:23), we are ALL disqualified to enter God's Kingdom. That is the whole reason why God the Father sent His only begotten Son into the world. to die on a cross for our sins (John 3:16-17). In a legal sense, Jesus died for God the Father on our behalf, to “appease the Father's wrath” (which is exactly what the beautiful word “propitiation” means in 1st John 2:2). Christ's sacrificial death on the cross of Calvary satisfied the Father's demand for justice. This is why you don't need to ask Jesus to forgive your sins to be saved, because He has already paid for everyone's sins with His precious blood (1st Peter 1:18-19). Thus, you can simply BELIEVE that Jesus did it all for you and be saved.

The following passage of inspired Scripture, like umpteen other Bible passages, simply tells the reader to “BELIEVE” to be justified; not just justified, but JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS!

Acts 13:38-39, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”

The moment that you by faith (taking God at His written Word) accept Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that Jesus was buried but then raised up from the dead three days later, is saved instantly and permanently. This is the “Glad Tidings” (i.e., Gospel, Good News) by which all humanity may be saved if they simply “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST” (Acts 16:31b). This salvation invitation from God is extended to each and every human being by grace. Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do.

The innumerable reckless and theologically incompetent preachers today who teach that you cannot be saved by faith alone, but that you must first be willing to turn from your past sinful behavior, are preaching 'ANOTHER GOSPEL' (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). Any pastor who says you must change your lifestyle and values to get to Heaven is preaching another gospel.

The Counterfeit Gospel Of Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

I was heartbroken to hear Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr. of the First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland, preach damnable heresy. The following sermon is titled: “EVANGELISM,” which was preached on November 18, 2018. At point # 3 in his sermon (17:19 time in video), Pastor Jenkins corrupts the Gospel, adding works...

“Believe and repent. Those two things actually go together. You've got to be willing to turn away from the way you've been living your life. You've gotta make those two things go together to regenerate you.” [emphasis added] —Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr., 18:00 minutes time in video

That is NOT the Gospel taught in 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. That is not the answer Paul and Silas gave the Philippian Roman jailer in Acts 16:30-31. Paul and Silas simply told the man to “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.” No requirement was stipulated that he forsake his sinful ways to be saved. The vast majority of today's pastors are accursed liars!

The damnable heresy Pastor which Pastor John K. Jenkins preaches is not the answer Jesus gave in John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Pastor Jenkins is preaching a counterfeit plan of salvation that cannot produce the new birth. Here is the full sermon if you want to watch it.

“But hold up, it doesn't only mean “I'm sorry,” but repentance also means also: “To make a change.” That's point two. Somebody say, 'Make a change.' You've got to make a change. Tell your neighbour, 'Make a change.' You gotta change your attitude. You gotta change your posture. You gotta change your position, your belief, your situation. It means change. And by the way, repentance is not a one-time thing. Repentance is a lifestyle. As soon as as read something; as soon as God speaks to me; as soon as I get an understanding of His Word—God is calling me to live a lifestyle of change. 

SOURCE: Pastor John K. Jenkins, 'Repentance' (19:02 time in video sermon)

Kindly but truthfully said, Pastor Jenkins is an ignorant fool regarding God's simple plan of salvation. Not one passages in the inspired King James Bible supports the damnable heresy that Pastor Jenkins is preaching to tens of thousands of his victims...

“But hold up, it doesn't only mean 'I'm sorry,' but repentance also means: “To make a change.” That's point two. Somebody say: 'Make a change!' You've got to make a change. Tell your neighbour: 'Make a change!' You gotta change your attitude. You gotta change your posture. You gotta change your position, your belief, your situation. It means change. And by the way, repentance is not a one-time thing. Repentance is a lifestyle. As soon as I read something; as soon as God speaks to me; as soon as I get an understanding of His Word—God is calling me to live a lifestyle of change.”

SOURCE: Pastor John K. Jenkins, 'Repentance' (19:02 time in video sermon)

BLASPHEMY! Pastor Jenkins further digs his own grave theologically by saying (and remember that he is requiring all of this to get to Heaven)...

“Now let me tell you, when you want to make a change there's three key areas that you need to make a change in. Here's number one...

 You have to make a change in your VALUES.

You have to make a change in your LIFESTYLE.

You have to make a change in your RELATIONSHIPS.

Damnable Heresy Preached By Pastor John K. Jenkins
 at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland

Dear reader, this is a very complicated FALSE plan of salvation. What Dr. John K. Jenkins is teaching tens of thousands of people DOES NOT match what Jesus taught in the inspired Scripture. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” How does Pastor Jenkins' toxic plan of salvation compare to the simple teaching of Christ in John 6:47 that we are saved simply by BELIEVING ON HIM?

In sharp contrast, Pastor Jenkins foolishly teaches that you must change your values, lifestyle and relationships to be saved. What poppycock, balderdash and tomfoolery! Biblically, the Greek noun for “repent” is metanoia which means: “a change of mind.” The Greek verb is metanoeo which means: “to think differently.” Nowhere does the inspired Holy Bible's use of the word “repent” in regard to salvation mean to change your values, lifestyle and relationships. Wicked men have redefined biblical terms to pervert the Gospel of free grace.

According to Pastor Jenkins Sr., repentance means “I'm sorry.” Sorrow is an emotion, not the change of mind from unbelief to belief which God requires to be saved. Judas Iscariot felt sorry, so much so that he even returned the 30 pieces of silver to the wicked Pharisees. Matthew 27:3 tells us that Judas repented. That is, Judas was sorry for betraying an innocent man to death, but this is not repentance unto life (salvation). Judas had no faith in Jesus as the Christ. Sadly, Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr. got royally messed up theologically when he flew to Chicago to earn his doctorate's degree in Bible theology. They screwed up his thinking!

I have an old Gospel tract titled, “God's Way Of Salvation,” authored in the 1920's by Evangelist Alexander Marshall (1846-1928). The original Gospel tract that I have set before me is nearly a century old. It is a little 31-page booklet, which could easily fit into a man's shirt pocket, and it's as thin as a dime. This excellent Gospel tract was originally published by Moody Press in Chicago, back when Moody Bible Institute and Moody Church could be trusted doctrinally. 

As I read Alexander Marshall's excellent tract, “God's Way Of Salvation,” I was so impressed that out of curiosity I went online to search for it. I was particularly impressed Marshall taught the Biblical truth that “repentance” is: 'A CHANGE OF MIND.' The tract today is published by Bible Truth Publishers, who sell the tract. To my dismay, someone very deceitfully and deliberately changed Marshall's tract to leave out the truth about repentance. The Bible Truth Publishers' website has converted Brother Marshall's printed Gospel tract into audio format (35 separate tracts). Between tract 24 (“Can A Man Be Saved At Once?”) and track 25 (“I Cannot Love God”), they intentionally removed the section titled, “I Have Not Repented Enough.” You can listen on their website to tracts 24 and 25, which are word-for-word what I have in front of me from the original tract.

However, I am now going to type out the missing portion from Alexander Marshall's Gospel tract, which someone shadily removed. Little things are important, and this little omission speaks volumes against the corrupter. I am going to quote the missing portion of the tract exactly as it is printed—italics, quotation marks and all...

“I HAVE NOT REPENTED ENOUGH”

What do you mean? “I am not sorry enough for my sins.”

And if you were very sorry, would God be more willing to save you than He is now? “I think so.”

Then you are completely mistaken.

“But does it not say, unless we repent we shall perish?”

Yes; but what do you think is the Scriptural significance of “repentance”? If you say “sorrow for sin” you are wrong. It does not mean sorrow for sin: it means a CHANGE OF MIND (Matt. 21:29). This change will doubtless produce sorrow; but sorrow and repentance are two very different things (Heb. 12:17. margin, and II Cor. 7:9). When God calls on you to “repent, and believe the Gospel,” He wishes you to lay aside your wrong thoughts, and believe the glad tidings that He proclaims to you. Formerly you may have imagined that you were required to feel very sorry before being saved. Change your mind. You may have supposed you must first “feel” some great change in order to know you were saved. Change your mind. First believe in God's great love to you, as revealed in His gospel, and you will KNOW that you have eternal life (John 5:24).

Yes, that is excellent. Alexander Marshall is 100% correct! Yet, some unlearned and/or heretical person wickedly changed his tract, completely removing the preceding section on repentance from the work. Marshall plainly says that sinners are saved by BELIEVING THE GOSPEL, that is, he says, “to lay aside your wrong thoughts [Repentance], and believe the glad tidings [Gospel] that He proclaims to you.” That is biblical repentance to be saved.

One of my favorite free grace preachers, Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951), wrote these prolific words of truth...

"Repentance is the very opposite of meritorious experience. It is the confession that one is utterly without merit, and if he is ever saved at all it can only be through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, 'who gave himself a ransom for all.' Here is firm footing for the soul who realizes that all self-effort is but sinking sand. Christ alone is the Rock of our salvation."

SOURCE: Pastor Harry A. Ironside, from his book: 'Except Ye Repent,' p. 36

Clearly, Ironside taught a Free Grace view of the Gospel. Pastor Ironside further states...

“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.”

SOURCE: Pastor Harry A. Ironside, from his tract: 'What Is The Gospel?'

If you will simply by faith (taking God at His recorded Word), accept Christ's sacrificial death on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that Jesus was buried but then physically resurrected from the dead three days later, then you will be instantly, irrevocably and permanently saved (i.e., born again, redeemed). This is 'THE GOSPEL' (1st Corinthians 15:1-6), by which all who BELIEVE IT are saved (1st Thessalonians 4:14; Romans 1:16). You have God's PROMISE of eternal life, IF you believe (Titus 1:2). God promises to “SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE” (1st Corinthians 1:21b). What an awesome God, Creator and Savior!!!

Properly Exegeting Romans Chapter 2

Romans 2:1-3, “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?”

In my humble opinion, the key verse in Romans chapter 2 is Romans 2:17, “Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God.” If you miss this truth, you'll misinterpret the entire passage. The Apostle Paul is rebuked the self-righteous religious crowd for resting in the Law of Moses instead of resting in the 'GOOD NEWS' (Gospel) of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen the third day (1st Corinthians 15:1-6).

Romans 2:17-20, “In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.”

Paul said that he received the Gospel directly from Jesus Himself (Galatians 1:12).

Dan Corner Is Caught Between Works And Grace

One of the most dangerous FALSE TEACHERS today is Evangelist Dan Corner at Evangelistic Outreach Ministries, who vehemently denies the fundamental Bible doctrine of Eternal Security. I sincerely feel very sorry for Dan and his family, because unless they repent of trusting in their own goodness and many wonderful works done in Jesus' name, none of them will be allowed someday to enter into Heaven.

This is why Jesus warned in Luke 13:23-24, “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” Jesus completed the only “work” on Calvary's cross that can save sinners. Jesus paid a debt that He did not owe because we owed a debt we could not pay (2nd Corinthians 5:21).

Here is a FALSE meme on Dan Corner's website...

Blatant Heresy From Dan Corner's Website

Kindly said, Dan Corner fails to understand or rightly divide the Word of Truth. Although it is true that “by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil” (Proverbs 6:16b), it is also true that not every born again Christian fears God as they ought. When that happens, our heavenly Father has to scourge and chastise us (Hebrews 12:6-8). Hebrews 12:6, “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”

But this doesn't in any way jeopardize our eternally secure position in God's family as His child, which is based solely upon one's faith in Christ. Romans 6:1-2, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” You won't find a better Scripture passage that supports the fundamental Bible doctrine of Eternal Security. We shouldn't abide in sin. I like what

When David in the Old Testament committed adultery with Bathsheba and then ruthlessly murdered Uriah her husband to hide his wickedness, David did not fear God as he should have at that time in his life, but David's salvation was still safe and secure in the everlasting arms of the Father in Heaven.

Exodus 20:20, “And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.” Dan Corner cites this passage in a lame attempt to deny the truth of Eternal Security. According to Mr. Corner you are not saved if you indulge in a lifestyle of willful wicked partying in sin. The inspired Word of God strongly disagrees with Corner, as I just showed you from Romans 6:1-2. As saints we fall 'IN GRACE,' never 'FROM GRACE' (which fate only someone who trusts in the works of the law can suffer according to Galatians 5:4).

Kindly said, Dan Corner simply does NOT understand God's simple plan of salvation. Dan hates sin so much that he has added turning from sin to live in holiness as a prerequisite to saving faith, which is a works-based counterfeit gospel (Jonah 3:10).

Romans 8:32-35, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”

ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED! Or as I like to say: IF SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED! The spiritual new birth is as irreversible as the physical birth. We do not get saved by doing good works, so we cannot be lost again by doing bad works. Hebrews 6:1 teaches to repent from DEAD WORKS (i.e., all works which cannot save, which includes bad works and good works alike). You cannot forsake bad works, nor add good works, to please God. Our best effort is filth to God (Isaiah 64:6). Sin must be paid for by death, which is why Christ died a vicarious (substitutionary) death on Calvary's cross in our place 2,000 years ago.

According to Romans 2:17 the Apostle Paul is addressing self-righteous religious Jews. As such, those Jews were resting (trusting) in keeping the Law of Moses. Paul points out to them in Romans 2:13b that it is “not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” In other words, if you want to merit your own way to Heaven by keeping the Law of Moses, then you cannot break or leave off even one of those approximately 720 laws. Breaking even one law essentially makes someone guilty of violating them all, since only one sin is enough to disqualify a sinner from entering into Heaven (James 2:10).

Paul then leaves off rebuking them for their utter hypocrisy and proceeds to educate them in Romans chapter 3 that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” There is the simple unadulterated truth dear reader. We are all guilty sinners in the Lord's sight for violating His commandments. Romans 3:10-11, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.”

Romans 2:7 Does Not Teach Works Salvation

Redemption cannot be obtained through becoming a doer of the law. Dan Corner literally cites Romans 2:7 to support his damnable heresy of denying the eternal security of the believer. Romans 2:7, “To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.” Sadly, some some false prophets (like Dan Corner) have tried to use this Scripture passage to teach that “good works” (“by patient continuance in well doing”) are essential to salvation (i.e., eternal life). However, that is absolutely not what this passage is teaching, God forbid.

The only “work” good enough to save a person is the work Christ performed on Calvary's cross 2,000 years ago. Therefore, whosoever accepts Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for their sins, believing that Jesus was buried but then miraculously resurrected from the dead three days later is saved. What Paul means in Romans 2:7 is simply that someone who is pure of heart to seek the truth will ultimately find it at Jesus' feet. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Acts 10:35-36,  “But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)”

When asked by some followers of Jesus what “work” God required of them to have eternal life, Jesus plainly said to trust in Him. John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Here we have a bold proclamation from Christ Himself, that the only work a person can do to get to Heaven is to simply BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (cf., Acts 16:30-31; Galatians 3:26; 1st Thessalonians 4:14).

Romans 2:7, “To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.”  A good example of Romans 2:7 is the life of Cornelius in Acts chapter 10. Cornelius was a centurion commander over 100 soldiers in the Italian army. The Bible tells us that Cornelius was a good man who feared God and loved the people. He gave alms to the poor. He prayed and fasted. He wanted to do what was right to please God, even as a lost man. The Scripture tells us that Cornelius was still a lost hellbound sinner. Yet, it was because of Cornelius' sincere desire to please God, that ultimately led Cornelius to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 10:43-44).

What Is Bible Repentance To Get To Heaven?

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘? ( 𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗜𝗔)

So many today speak about “repentance” today — but few understand what it truly means.

Some think it’s about crying over sin, feeling sorry, or turning over a new leaf.

But that’s not the Bible repentance that saves.

In the context of biblical salvation, repentance is not turning from sin — it’s changing your mind toward God and His truth.

The word “repentance” comes from the Greek word μετάνοια (metanoia), which literally means “a change of mind.”

It comes from meta (to change) and nous (mind or understanding).

It’s realizing you’re a sinner who cannot save yourself — and turning from unbelief to believe the Gospel of grace.

It’s the moment you stop trusting your religion, works, or emotions, and start trusting Jesus Christ alone for your salvation.

“Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” —Acts 20:21 (KJV)

Repentance and faith are inseparable — they’re two sides of the same coin.

No one can truly believe the Gospel unless they have repented, because repentance is that change of mind that leads to faith.

When you believe the Gospel, you’ve already repented.

When you repent toward God, you’re ready to believe.

The Gospel that saves:

“...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.” —1 Corinthians 15:3b–4 (KJV)

Salvation isn’t about what you can do — it’s about what Christ already did.

It’s not about turning from sin to earn forgiveness — it’s about believing the One who paid for your sin in full.

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” —Titus 3:5 (KJV)

Repentance = Μετάνοια (Metanoia) — A Change of Mind

• Not emotion.
• Not self-reformation.
• Not behavior adjustment.

It’s a heart-level change of thinking — from rejecting God to believing His truth.

When you truly believe the Gospel, you have repented.

When you truly repent toward God, you will believe the Gospel.

That’s how salvation by grace through faith works — it’s all of Him, none of us.

Free Grace Gospel Versus Lordship Salvation

John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

Contrast: Free Grace Theology vs. Lordship Salvation

Below is a clear, structured contrast between the two systems—doctrinally, exegetically, historically, and pastorally.

1. Definition of Faith

Free Grace Theology

• Faith is persuasion—being convinced that Jesus gives eternal life to the believer (John 3:16; John 5:24; John 6:47).
• Faith contains no inherent commitment, no promise to obey, no pledge of loyalty.
• Faith receives a gift, not a contract.
• Greek: pisteuō means to believe, to be persuaded, never “commit,” “yield,” or “surrender.”
• Salvation is a one-time event, not a lifelong project.

Lordship Salvation

• Faith is redefined as commitment, surrender, whole-life allegiance, or obedient trust.
• Faith includes willingness to follow, obey, forsake sin, submit, and persevere.
• Because works are built into the definition of faith, faith becomes faith + obedience.

Core difference:

• Free Grace makes faith about Christ’s promise.
• Lordship makes faith about the believer’s performance.

2. Salvation vs. Discipleship

Free Grace Theology

• Scripture distinguishes receiving eternal life (John 4:10; Eph. 2:8–9) from following Christ (Luke 9:23–26).
• Salvation = free gift.
• Discipleship = lifelong growth, costly obedience, bearing a cross, perseverance.

Lordship Salvation

• Salvation is discipleship; they collapse both categories.
• Conditions of discipleship become conditions of salvation.
• Demands like self-denial, taking up the cross, forsaking all, and perseverance become requirements to prove one is truly saved.

Core difference:

• Free Grace: Salvation is received; discipleship is lived.
• Lordship: Salvation is proven by discipleship.

3. Assurance of Salvation

Free Grace Theology

• Assurance comes from the promise of Christ alone (John 5:24; 6:47; 10:28–29).
• If Christ gives eternal life, then it is eternally secure.
• The foundation of assurance is God’s Word, not self-examination.

Lordship Salvation

• Assurance is obtained by evaluating one's behavior—fruit, obedience, direction of life, perseverance.
• A believer cannot know infallibly whether he will persevere.
• Therefore he cannot know if he is truly saved until the end.

Core difference:

• Free Grace: Assurance is of the essence of saving faith.
• Lordship: Assurance is the fruit of a life of obedience.

4. View of Apostasy and Sin in Believers

Free Grace Theology

• Believers can fall into sin, even serious sin, even doctrinal error.
• Believers can become spiritually shipwrecked (1 Tim. 1:19), carnal (1 Cor. 3:1–3), or deny Christ (2 Tim. 2:12–13).
• Discipline may include sickness, death, temporal judgment, loss of reward.
• But eternal life remains intact because it depends on Christ, not the believer.

Lordship Salvation

• If someone falls into serious, continual, or unrepentant sin, this proves the person was never saved.
• Perseverance in holiness is required to authenticate conversion.
• Apostates were “never truly regenerate.”

Core difference:

• Free Grace: Apostasy = loss of fellowship and reward.
• Lordship: Apostasy = proof of false conversion.

5. Interpretation of Warning Passages

Free Grace Theology

• New Testament warning passages address believers and relate to:

1. temporal discipline
2. loss of rewards
3. loss of fellowship
4. consequences in the Christian life
5. none threaten eternal condemnation

Lordship Salvation

• Warnings test whether one is a “real Christian” or merely a “professor.”
• Warnings function as salvation filters—measuring whether obedience proves regeneration.

Core difference:

• Free Grace reads warnings as family discipline.
• Lordship reads warnings as heaven-or-hell tests.

6. Rewards and Inheritance

Free Grace Theology

• Rewards are distinct from salvation.
• All believers enter the kingdom (John 3:5).
• Only faithful believers inherit (possess, rule, reign) in the kingdom (2 Tim. 2:12; Rom. 8:17; Rev. 2–3).
• Eternal rewards motivate perseverance and godly living.

Lordship Salvation

• Rewards largely collapse into “heaven itself.”
• Faithfulness becomes proof of salvation, not the basis of reward.
• Inheritance and entering the kingdom are treated as identical.

Core difference:

• Free Grace: Rewards are earned; salvation is gifted.
• Lordship: Rewards are absorbed into salvation.

7. Pastoral Practice & Lived Outcome

Free Grace Theology

• Produces at best:

1. Gratitude
2. Humility
3. Security
4. Motivation from grace
5. Compassion toward struggling believers
6. Focus on Christ, not performance

• At its worst:

1. Some believers drift into careless thinking, but Scripture calls them to sanctification, discipline, and reward—not doubt of salvation.

Lordship Salvation

• Produces at best:

1. Perpetual self-evaluation
2. Fear of being a false convert
3. Anxiety
4. Legalism in many cases
5. Suspicion toward others' salvation
6. Uncertainty about one’s standing with God

• At its worst:

1. Believers live under constant doubt, believing their salvation depends on their perseverance.
2. Core difference:
3. Free Grace produces rest.
4. Lordship produces restlessness.

8. The Middle Ground?

• There is no true middle ground because the systems begin with different definitions:
• If faith includes commitment → salvation requires works.
• If faith receives a gift → salvation is apart from works.

These systems answer different questions:

Lordship asks:
“How do you know you’re really saved?”

Free Grace asks:
“What did Jesus promise to the believer?”

SUMMARY (One Paragraph)

Free Grace Theology teaches that eternal life is a free and irrevocable gift received the moment one believes in Christ’s promise. Salvation and discipleship are distinct; assurance rests solely on God’s Word; and failure, sin, or apostasy—while tragic—cannot undo regeneration. Lordship Salvation treats faith as surrender, obedience, and perseverance, making discipleship the test of salvation, placing assurance on personal performance, and interpreting failure as evidence of false conversion. Free Grace views warnings as discipline; Lordship views them as salvation filters. In essence: Free Grace centers salvation on Christ’s work, while Lordship centers it on the believer’s response.

Luciferian Conspiracy Of Calvinism And Lordship Salvation

Jude 1:4, “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Heretic John Calvin (1509-1564)

According to author and retired Canadian Navy commander William Guy Carr (1895-1959), the French reformation leader John Calvin was actually a Jewish infiltrator (which fact he attributes to an article from the Catholic Gazette in 1936):

Once the revolution had been decided upon, the Jewish plotters introduced Calvinism into England to split Church and State, and divide the people. Contrary to general belief, Calvinism is of Jewish origin. It was deliberately conceived to split the adherents of the Christian religions, and divide the people. Calvin’s real name was Cohen! When he went from Geneva to France to start preaching his doctrine he became known as Cauin. Then in England it became Calvin. History proves that there is hardly a revolutionary plot that wasn’t hatched in Switzerland; there is hardly a Jewish revolutionary leader who hasn’t changed his name.

At the B’nai B’rith celebrations held in Paris, France, in 1936 Cohen, Cauvin, or Calvin, whatever his name may have been, was enthusiastically acclaimed to have been of Jewish descent.

It's now the year 2015 and our churches across America and the world are divided between “the simplicity that is in Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4) concerning the Gospel, and the false plan of “Lordship Salvation” which requires discipleship for salvation. Few born-again Christians would ever suspect that the heresy of Lordship Salvation (which is nothing but repackaged Calvinism) is a Luciferian conspiracy to divide and conquer the churches:

The Forces of Evil realize that in order to win undisputed control of the material assets of the world, and establish an Atheistic Materialistic Totalitarian Dictatorship, it is necessary to destroy all forms of constitutional government and organized religion. In order to do this the Forces of Evil decided they must divide the peoples of the world against each other on various issues.

One of the most distinguishing traits of Freemasonry is their vague, one-size-fits-all, New World Order, false concept of God, which Masons call: “THE GREAT ARCHITECT.” Notice the famous painting of John Calvin (1509-1564) at the beginning of this article, in which he is flashing a well-known occult hand-sign, which The Beatles Paul McCartney and other secret society members have used in public. John Calvin was clearly a member of a secret society:

John Calvin, in his Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536), repeatedly calls the Christian God: “the Architect of the Universe,” also referring to his works as “Architecture of the Universe", and in his commentary on Psalm 19 refers to the Christian God as the “Great Architect” or “Architect of the Universe.”

SOURCE: “Great Architect Of The Universe”; Wikipedia.org

“The Great Architect” of the New World Order is none other than LUCIFER. Although Zionist Jews, high-ranking Freemasons and Vatican leaders within the Roman and Russian Catholic churches are complicit with the Illuminati's agendas, the sinister plot for World Government is 100% Luciferian in nature.

Pastor John MacArthur of Grace To You ministry in California is a self-professed 5-point Calvinist.[1] MacArthur teaches Limited Atonement[2] (i.e., the heresy that Christ only died on the cross for believers). MacArthur also teaches that there is no such thing as a childhood conversion,[3] and that it is not easy to be saved.[4] He claims that just as God gave His Son, and Jesus gave His life, so must we give everything to God to be saved.[4] This is blatant corruption of “the simplicity that is in Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). The false teaching of Lordship Salvation effectively requires living the Christian life as a substitute for being born-again (which can only happen by God's imputed righteousness, with is solely by faith without human works of any kind - Romans 4:5-7). Lordship Salvation deliberately confuses people by mixing Discipleship with Salvation; thus, adding human effort to partial faith in Christ, which is vain religion, not the glorious new birth. ...

John Macarthur's Spiritual Mentor was a Jewish Rabbi

John Macarthur's father, Dr. "Jack" Macarthur, in addition to being the director of the foundation which started Fuller Seminary, was in Henrietta Mears' inner circle and was involved at the highest level of the world ecumenical movement. The goal of the ecumenical movement is to create a one-world religion for the worship of Lucifer. Christians have been falsely led to believe that the one-world religion will eradicate Christianity rather than transform it. (See John Macarthur's Ecumenical Roots and What is the Church Growth Movement?)

According to an interview with Phil Johnson of Grace To You, John Macarthur stated that at his father's request, he went to Talbot Theological Seminary (now known as Talbot School of Theology) "just because of him [Dr. Charles Feinberg], to be my mentor, my professor and [to take] every course that he offered." (1)

Dr. Feinberg was Talbot Seminary's first dean (1952-1975) and according to John Macarthur, was a Jewish rabbi. In reference to his time at Talbot Seminary (I believe in the early 1960's), John Macarthur stated, "Charles Feinberg..., just a converted rabbi, basically, studied fourteen years to be a rabbi." (2) Why are Jewish rabbis heading Christian seminaries? Do you believe a Jewish Rabbi would personally tutor a Gentile?

According to Wikipedia "In 1930, he [Charles Feinberg] converted from Judaism to Christianity through the ministry of Chosen People Ministries."

According to the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Feinberg was a charter member of the ETS), "Charles Lee Feinberg was born on June 12, 1909... He was reared in an orthodox Jewish home and prepared for the rabbinate for fourteen years prior to his conversion to Christ in the fall of 1930."(3)

The curriculum for being a Rabbi involves studying the Talmud, the textbook of all rabbi's and the basis of Judaism. The Talmud is extremely anti-Christian and greatly slanders the Lord Jesus Christ. Dr. Feinberg studied the Babylonian Talmud and cited it in his writings.

Though John Macarthur refers to his spiritual mentor, Rabbi Feinberg, as a "Jewish Christian," (4) Rabbi Feinberg's son, Dr. John Feinberg, referred to his father posthumously as "an orthodox Jew" (5).

Of interest, according to the Lockman Foundation website, Dr. Feinberg was an original translator of the corrupt bible version, the NASB, the version from which John Macarthur currently preaches. Click here to read more about this corrupt bible version and the false Greek text from which it was translated.

There is also evidence that Rabbi Feinberg was a Calvinist. "...or the treasury of notes in the New Scofield Bible written by an elite group of Bible scholars which included Charles Feinberg, who incidentally, was a Calvinist." To those who have studied the truth about John Calvin, a crypto Jew, and the Protestant Reformation, it wouldn't come as a surprise to learn that an orthodox Jewish rabbi was a Calvinist. Click here to read a most enlightening article regarding evil Calvin, Calvinism, and the Rosicrucian roots of the Protestant Reformation.

Christian researchers have found definite connections to Freemasonry at the highest levels of the leadership of the reformed movement (located in Edinburgh, Scotland). Interestingly, the motto for FIRE (Fellowship of Independent Reformed Evangelicals), which numbers Phil Johnson, the Executive Director of John Macarthur's Grace To You, as a member, is nearly identical to the motto of Phoenix Freemasonry. (See: John Macarthur's Ecumenical Roots)

The truth is stranger than fiction. Dr. MacArthur is a major promoter of the heresy of Lordship Salvation—the false teaching that a person cannot be saved without making full surrender to Christ's Lordship, confessing Christ publicly before men, turning (or be willing to turn) away from sinful behavior, and forsaking the world. Although these things are noble in their proper place, none of them have anything to do with receiving the free GIFT of God by faith in the Gospel.

The Luciferian elite worship only Lucifer, the god of fallen man in this wicked world (2nd Corinthians 4:4; 1st John 5:19). Since their works are of the Devil, they must operate in hiding through secret societies worldwide (The Thule Society, Freemasons, Skull & Bones, Bohemian Grove, The Fenian Brotherhood, Rosicrucianism, The Club Of Rome, Knights Templar, The Council Of Nine, The Illuminati, The Bilderberg Group, Sons Of Liberty, et cetera).

By far, Freemasonry is the most common of these secret societies, which greatly (and woefully) influences America's churches for evil. It is estimated that over one-third of the Freemasonry membership in the United States are members of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). A 1991 survey by the Southern Baptist Convention Sunday School Board found that 14% of SBC pastors and 18% of SBC deacon board chairs were Masons; it is also estimated that SBC members comprise 37% of total U.S. lodge membership. A 2000 SBC report found that over 1,000 SBC pastors are Masons. This is apostasy!

Freemasons are forbidden to pray in Jesus' name at lodge meetings, lest they offend non-Christian members. Do you realize how demonic and blasphemous that is in God's eyes??? Only a wicked man would voluntarily join a questionable group that forbids praying in Jesus' name, demanding that Christ not be recognized and honored as He ought as the only begotten Son of God. Think about that! Freemasonry does a lot of good to help others, especially their Shriners hospitals for children (what a great cover for a Satanic cult!). Only the higher level members of the Masonic order fully understand the true Luciferian agenda of their organization, which is to infiltrate, divide and takeover as many institutions as possible to support World Government, aka, a New World Order!

It's important for believers to understand that the Devil doesn't try to recruit churches; but rather, he creeps in unawares, bringing in damnable heresies (like Lordship Salvation and counterfeit Bible versions), and then before you know it, the church has woefully changed, succumbing to ecumenical apostasy:

The goal of the ecumenical movement is to create a one-world religion for the worship of Lucifer. Ecumenists (bridge-builders) in the leadership of the various denominations direct the churches to set aside their differences, find common ground, and unify. John Macarthur preaches against ecumenism, however, his family and ministry are firmly rooted in the ecumenical movement.

In The Voice of Calvary Legacy, John Macarthur paid tribute to his father, Dr. John “Jack” Macarthur. He served on the Extension Staff of Moody Bible Institute and later became the director of Charles E. Fuller Evangelistic Foundation.2 In 1968, the Fuller Evangelistic Foundation changed its name to the Fuller Evangelistic Association. ...

SOURCE: John Macarthur's Father's Involvement at the Highest Level of the World Ecumenical Movement

We are going to see a lot more ecumenical apostasy creeping into the churches. Many churches have been hoodwinked by Pastor Rick Warren's Satanic Emerging Church deception. Mr. Warren also teaches the heresy of Lordship Salvation. Warren is a disgusting compromiser, who has apologized to many his “gay friends” for taking a stand against homosexual marriage. Warren is far more concerned what people think about him, than what God thinks about him (John 12:42-43). ...

JOHN CALVIN (1509–1564) was the classic fundamentalist [of heresy]. Reportedly he was Jewish, gay and a sadist. Jerome Bolsec published a life of Calvin, 'Vie de Calvin', in 1577. According to Bolsec, Calvin frequently engaged in gay sex. According to Bolsec, Calvin resigned his church post at Noyon, in France, because of the public exposure of his homosexuality.

John Calvin became the religious boss of Geneva in Switzerland. "Under his rule Geneva, formerly so gay, became like a city of death, where all citizens went about as if in mourning." (Progress of Calvinism - In Switzerland.) Calvin's followers burned 58 people for heresy. Servetus was a wise doctor who took an interest in religion. He was not keen on the idea of the Trinity. When Servetus came to Geneva in 1553, Calvin had him arrested.

Poor Servetus was then burnt at the stake. Christopher Hitchens writes (Christopher Hitchens - God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons ...) that "Calvin's Geneva was a prototypical totalitarian state, and Calvin himself a sadist and torturer and killer, who burned Servetus (one of the great thinkers and questioners of the day) while the man was still alive."

Allegedly, Jewish plotters introduced Calvinism into England 'to split Church and State, and divide the people'.

Archibald Ramsay wrote: 'How the Jews stole Britain' and according to an article based on Ramsay's book:

Calvinism is of Jewish origin.

Calvin’s real name was Cohen.

When he went from Geneva to France he became known as Cauin.

Then in England it became Calvin.

At the B’nai B’rith celebrations held in Paris, France, in 1936, Calvin, was enthusiastically acclaimed to have been of Jewish descent.

John Calvin was a monster! It does not surprise me that a crypto-Jewish occultist, fraudulently named John Calvin, introduced a false plan of works-based salvation into the churches, which infects many churches still today. There are Satanic forces at work to corrupt and transform the churches into spiritually dead religious centers, instead of an assembly of Holy Spirit indwelled born-again Christians. Spirituality is replacing theology in the churches! Without the sound doctrines of the inspired Words of God in the King James Bible, the churches are losing their foundation. Psalms 11:3, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Please beware of John Calvin's teachings, commonly referred to as, what else... “CALVINISM”! Please beware of Calvinist influenced ministers and institutions; such as (to name but a few), Evangelist Paul Washer, Dr. John Piper, Evangelist Ray Comfort, Dr. John MacArthur, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fuller Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, any churches that support and promote John MacArthur, et cetera.

Satan knows that the best way to hinder truth is to confuse people by introducing lies into the mix. The Bible teaches us about “the simplicity that is in Christ” in the Gospel (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4; 1st Corinthians 15:1-4). In sharp contrast, there is nothing “simple” about having to surrender all to Christ to be saved. There is nothing “simple” about forsaking sinful bad habits and confessing Christ before men publicly to be saved. The lie of Lordship Salvation places extremely heavy burdens upon men's shoulders; whereas Christ bore the total weight of every man's sins upon the cross, so that salvation could be made freely available to all mankind, by simple faith in the Gospel.

The true Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is free and simple to anyone who wants it, by simply receiving Christ's sacrifice upon the cross as the payment for one's sins, and believing that Jesus bodily raised up the third day for our justification. This is drastically different than the extra-biblical requirement to cease from sinful living, forsake the world, confess Christ before men and surrender all to Christ to be saved. These latter are all self-righteous works, which are forbidden in God's plan of salvation (Isaiah 64:6). The false doctrine of Lordship Salvation is also held (or a variation of) by Roman Catholics, Seventh-day Adventists, Mormons, Church of Christ and Jehovah's Witnesses, to name but a few Satanic cults.

Man has no part in God's salvation of man, except to BELIEVE the Gospel. When the Scriptures teach believers in Philippians 2:12, “...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” it does NOT say to work out God's salvation.

2nd Corinthians 4:3, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.” The heresy of Lordship Salvation cleverly hides the Gospel behind a wall of holy living, teaching people that to be saved they must repent in the sense of changing their life, and then continue repenting for the rest of their life if they're really saved. This effectively requires a lifetime of good works, and abstaining from bad works, to be saved. I've heard this garbage theology taught on UNSHACKLED by Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago, Grace To You with Dr. John MacArthur, and also by Evangelist Chip Ingram, and also Seeking Him ministry online, to name just a few.

Dear reader, whether or not you believe the occult connection of Calvinism (aka., Lordship Salvation) with Luciferianism, if you believe the Holy Bible then you cannot dispute the truth that Satan is the god of this evil world (2nd Corinthians 4:3-4). Why should it be difficult to accept that the most evil being in the universe, Lucifer, wants to corrupt the GOOD NEWS (Gospel) of God's free gift of forgiveness of sins and eternal life through faith alone in Jesus' crucifixtion, burial and bodily resurrection (1st Corinthians 15:1-4)?

The Devil is more clever and subtle (sneaky) than any human being can imagine. Old smutface knows that if he can trick you into adding even the tiniest amount of self-effort to God's simple and free plan of salvation, then he has damned you to the Lake of Fire forever. I agree with Pastor Dennis Rokser (pronounced "rock-sir"), who said that if you have to trim your toe nails once every million years in addition to faith in Jesus Christ, you are going to spend eternity burning in Hell because that is not the Gospel.

Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do. But to the carnal mind, it makes sense that a person should have to resolve to reform, turn away from sinful ways and commit their life to follow Christ as “Lord” to get to Heaven. The big problem is that all those things focus on YOU, instead of CHRIST. The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU. Good works are not the payment for sin, the payment for sin is death. That is why Jesus voluntarily died in our place on the cross, paying down our massive debt of sin. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith. Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty!

Wake up oh Christian from your spiritual slumber! We are in a relentless spiritual war for God!!! Thank you for reading this blog. Jesus is precious!!!

Psalms 118:6, “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”

Psalms 56:9, “...this I know; for God is for me.”

1st Peter 1:18-19, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:”

Exodus 12:13, “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

Lordship Salvation Is A Deadly Perversion Of The Gospel

Matthew 7:20-23, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

In our text passage of Scripture, we find the damnable doctrine of Lordship Salvation in the inspired Holy Bible, and Jesus exposed it as a fraud. They cried out to Jesus in eternity at their time of judgment, saying: “Lord, Lord,” but Christ denied even knowing them. These religious people had spent their lives living the Christian life, preaching in the name of Jesus, doing many wonderful works in the name of Jesus, totally submitted to serving Christ; yet, Jesus denied knowing them. Like all condemned Christ rejecters (John 3:36), they are still burning in Hell today, awaiting the horrifying Great White Throne Of Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15).

One of my favorite free grace preachers is Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, who made this helpful statement to define what Lordship Salvation is:

“Lordship Salvation is the unsupportable and unbiblical belief that the performance of good works, the promise of good works, or the evidence of good works, must accompany faith in Christ to establish or provide evidence that such faith has resulted in eternal life.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold ('Jesus versus John MacArthur')

Amen and amen! Good works have no place in God's simple plan of salvation. In fact, neither do bad works! That is, you don't have to do good works, nor stop doing bad works, to get to Heaven. What saith the Scripture? ...

Hebrews 6:1-2, “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, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.”

Carefully notice that the inspired King James Bible says “repentance from dead works,” NOT repentance from sins. But look what the sneaky Devil's Bibles say:

New International Version (NIV) - Hebrews 6:1, “Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,”

New Life Version (NLV) - Hebrews 6:1, “So let us leave the first things you need to know about Christ. Let us go on to the teaching that full-grown Christians should understand. We do not need to teach these first truths again. You already know that you must be sorry for your sins and turn from them. You know that you must have faith in God.“

New Century Version (NCV) - Hebrews 6:1, “So let us go on to grown-up teaching. Let us not go back over the beginning lessons we learned about Christ. We should not again start teaching about faith in God and about turning away from those acts that lead to death.“

Easy-To-Read Version (ERV) - Hebrews 6:1, “So we should be finished with the beginning lessons about Christ. We should not have to keep going back to where we started. We began our new life by turning away from the evil we did in the past and by believing in God. That’s when we were taught about baptisms, laying hands on people, the resurrection of those who have died, and the final judgment. Now we need to go forward to more mature teaching.“

WRONG!!! All of these popular demonic Bible PERversions (in these apostate modern times) are corrupted. The inspired King James Bible says to repent from 'DEAD WORKS' (which includes all works, both good and bad); but the Devil's corrupt perversions have changed it to “turn from your sins” or “turn away from acts that lead to death” or “turn away from evil.” The correct translation is “repentance from dead works.” The only thing that a sinner needs to repent of to be saved is our DEAD WORKS. That is, you must cease from trusting in your own good works, and cease from foolishly thinking that you must forsake a lifestyle of sinning, to be saved. Those are all DEAD WORKS!!!

You DON'T have to forsake your sinful behavior. Nor does repentance mean that your behavior will change after you get saved, which is the heresy taught at Pensacola Christian College (PCC). I attended PCC's Campus Church in 2021 and was disgusted to discover that their official position is: “Repentance is a change of mind which results in a change of behavior.” The Devil told them that lie! Just because you change your mind (repent) toward God to be saved through faith in Jesus Christ, doesn't mean that your behavior will change. There is something in the Bible called “growth in grace” (2nd Peter 3:18; 1st Peter 2:2).

Please check the Bible that you are using, to see if Hebrews 6:1 has been corrupted. I only recommend that people use the inspired King James Bible. The Devil's modern Bibles are NOT inspired. That is, they are man's words and not God's words. The only inspired words of God in the English language in 2022 are in the King James Bible!!! All others are corrupt or inferior. And please don't let anyone trick into thinking that the King James Bible is full of errors. No, their head is full of errors! I find no fault in the Holy Bible. The Bible should correct us, not we the Bible! The Bible needs to be reread, not rewritten. You'd think after 900 English Bible versions that people would take a clue, but they still don't realize that the Devil is behind all this utter confusion (1st Corinthians 14:33).

BEWARE of all modern Bible versions!

Lordship Salvation is a perversion of the Gospel. 

I have collected these helpful quotes over the years by Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold:

“There is power in this Gospel message. Most people just don't know how to present it... The clarity of the Gospel is what makes it easy for them to believe.” —Pastor Yankee Arnold, a quote from the excellent MP3 sermon titled, “WHY GRACE CAN SAVE THE WORST MAN!” 

“If all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, then why would you use those rags to prove that you're saved?” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold, sermon quote: “How Do I Know God Really Loves Me? - Part 2”

“Remember this, if you're depending upon your own good works to get you to Heaven, you're lost! Your salvation had to be purchased with something that was incorruptible, with the precious blood of Jesus Christ!” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold, Bibleline Radio Show - “The Precious Blood Of Christ”

“If you have to look at your life to prove that you are saved, it proves that you're not!” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold; an excellent quote from the awesome YouTube sermon titled, “Why Lordship Salvation is WRONG!

“My destination is not based upon how I live my life, it's on whom that I trust to save me.” —Pastor Ralph “Yankee” Arnold

“It's not the size of my faith that gets me to Heaven, it's the object of my faith!” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold; a quote from the MP3 sermon, “Where Is Faith?”

“IF YOU WANT TO SAVE AMERICA, GET AMERICA SAVED!” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold

“Salvation can only be evidenced by works, if works are required to be saved.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, “Why Lordship Salvation Is Wrong!”

“Trusting Christ by faith alone cannot cannot be revealed by works at all; salvation can only be revealed by works, if works are required to be saved!” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold, quote from “Why Lordship Salvation Is Wrong”

“Being saved is not something that you perform, it is something that He performs.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, a great quote from the awesome sermon, “Raised For Our Justification.”

“Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a quote from the MP3 sermon titled: “God's Reversal Of Psalm 51”

“'You can't tell me you can trust Christ as Savior, and then go out here and live like the Devil, and still go to Heaven!' Yes, I can tell you that! That's what the Bible says. If you don't come to the conclusion, that—Yes, you can trust Christ as your Savior and live like the Devil, and still go to Heaven when you die—you don't get grace, because that is the exact truth! That is the truth! I do not have to change my life! I don't have to stop one sin! You say, 'I've never heard a preacher say that.' You just heard one! And you listen to me—I want to live as holy and as godly as I possibly can. I am now 70 years old. I've been saved for 52 years. ... the only reason I'm going to Heaven is because, 52 years ago in a little living room, I accepted Christ as my Savior.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, a great quote from the awesome sermon, “Calvinism And Grace Are NOT Compatible”

“The Gospel, if you understand it, can cause you to love one another.” –Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold, a quote from the sermon titled: “To Believe, Receive, Accept, or Trust???”

I LOVE all those truthful quotes!!!

You DON'T have to surrender “all” to Christ to be saved, you just need to trust Him as your personal Savior. You do that by admitting you are a guilty sinner (Romans 3:10-23). We all deserve to be punished in Hell-fire forever to pay for our own sins (Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:11-15, 21:8). As sinners, we have a Savior! The Good News (Gospel) is that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, to die on a cross to pay our debt of sin (John 3:16). Jesus paid it all!!! If you will simply place your 100% confidence in Jesus, He will save you!!! John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

You simply come to God as a needy sinner, BELIEVING on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you are immediately, irrevocably and forever saved! Acts 16:30-31, “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
