Where In The Bible Was Anyone Asked To Forsake Their Sins To Be Saved?

Romans 4:4-7, “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.”

Let's list the people in Holy Bible who were told to forsake sin, repent of sins, invite Jesus into their life, commit to follow Christ or make Jesus the Lord of your life to be saved. Here's the list...

That's right, there are NONE! Nowhere in the inspired Word of God can you show me where anyone was told to forsake sin, repent of sins, invite Jesus into their life, commit to follow Christ or make Jesus the Lord of your life to be saved. 

We read concerning Abram in Genesis 15:6, “And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” Abraham was saved by faith alone in the Lord. No mention is made of forsaking sin, repenting of sins, inviting Jesus into his life, committing himself to follow Christ or make Jesus the Lord of his life to be saved.

On the Day of Pentecost we read that 3,000 people were saved, but no one was told to forsake sin, repent of sins, invite Jesus into their life, commit to follow Christ or make Jesus the Lord of your life to be saved. Acts 2:41, “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” They were saved simply by gladly receiving Peter's Gospel message.

In Acts 10:43 we read how simple it was for an Italian man named Cornelius to be saved, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” Again, we clearly see that salvation comes to those who simply BELIEVE. No one was told to forsake sin, repent of sins, invite Jesus into their life, commit to follow Christ or make Jesus the Lord of your life to be saved. 

Our churches today are pathetic. I cannot believe the garbage that I read in Statements of Faith of churches and Bible colleges. Satan has crept into most churches. I was sickened on July 21st, 2021 when I attended the Campus Church in Pensacola. The church's assistant pastor Tim Zacharias got up and made this heretical statement: “Repentance is a change of mind that leads to a change of behavior.” Pastor Zacharias is WRONG! In fact, repentance is “a change of mind,” period, end of story. Any pastor who embellishes the biblical meaning of the word “repent” is a liar. I called them out for teaching false doctrine at Campus Church. Sadly, Pastor Jeff Redlin replied by 100% agreeing with the preceding heresy!

I am sick and tired of pastors corrupting the Word of God. You talk about pride! The moment that you correct these pastors, they count you as an enemy, as they did the Apostle Paul. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” 

We are declared 100% sinless (justified) through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:26). God justifies the believer on the basis of faith alone in Christ, imputing our sins to Jesus and His righteousness to us (Romans 4:4-6). Christ is the end of the law to all who believe (Romans 10:3-4). We are saved by HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS (Matthew 6:33). The believer's righteousness is based solely in God's imputed righteousness, which is by faith in Jesus, and not our own. Kindest regards. ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED!!! Anyone who disagrees with that doesn't understand the Gospel. They don't understand the new birth. They don't understand the free gift of eternal life. They don't understand God's imputed righteousness. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
