Believing Is Enough To Get To Heaven

1st Corinthians 15:1-6, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that 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: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

When I attended the shameful Harvest Baptist Church on Guam for a year in 2014, I witnessed to one of their school teachers, named Jason. I asked him, “Do you believe that a person can come to God as a needy sinner and simply believe the Gospel to be saved?” He said, “Uh, I think there's more to it than that.” His disturbing reply convinced me that he is not saved.

Dear reader, faith in the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen is ENOUGH to get to Heaven, nothing more is required nor permitted by God. 1st Thessalonians 4:14, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” This is “the simplicity that is in Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:3b). It is simple to be saved—you simply BELIEVE the Gospel when you hear it preached!

This is why the Apostle Paul asked the churches of Galatia in Galatians 3:2, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” Paul simply wanted to know how they were indwelt with the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9). That is, how did they get saved? Was it by keeping the works of the law; Or, was it by putting their faith in the Gospel that he preached unto them? The latter is salvation; the former is damnation. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born again. We are saved by, “THE HEARING OF FAITH.”

This explains Hebrews 4:2, “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” You see dear reader, you get saved by BELIEVING the Gospel when you hear or read it. Moses preached the Gospel to the wandering Jews in the Wilderness for forty years, but they failed to have faith in the Good News which they heard, and tragically perished into Hell forever. There are only one of two places you can go when you die—Heaven or Hell.

Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) said it well...

“More people will die and burn in Hell because they're trusting too much!”—Dr. Jack Hyles, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

Oh guilty sinner, BELIEVING is enough to get to Heaven! Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Beware of any lying pastor and church (cult), whose Statement of Faith requires you to “Repent of your sins” to be saved. No such phrase is found anywhere in the inspired King James Bible (the only trustworthy Bible in the English language).

Beware of any church (cult) that preaches the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation (i.e., mixing works with grace). You don't take Jesus as your Lord to get to Heaven, you take Him as your Savior. 1st Timothy 4:10, “For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.” You don't make Jesus Lord, HE IS LORD! The moment you receive the new birth, Jesus automatically becomes your Lord and Master.

As you grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (2nd Peter 3:18), the Holy Spirit will sanctify you with the Word of God. We grow by abiding in the Scripture (1st Peter 2:2). But this is a separate matter of service (discipleship), not salvation (sonship).

I love this helpful quote from Dr. Martin R. DeHaan (1891-1965)...

"There is a vast difference between coming to Jesus for salvation and coming after Jesus for service. Coming to Christ makes one a believer, while coming after Christ makes one a disciple. All believers are not disciples. To become a believer one accepts the invitation of the Gospel, to be a disciple one obeys the challenge to a life of dedicated service and separation. Salvation comes through the sacrifice of Christ; discipleship comes only by sacrifice of self and surrender to His call for devoted service. Salvation is free, but discipleship involves paying the price of a separated walk. Salvation can't be lost because it depends upon God's faithfulness, but discipleship can be lost because it depends upon our faithfulness." —Pastor M.R. DeHaan, “Hebrews”; Zondervan Publishing House; 1959 (p. 117)

Bravo Pastor DeHaan, well said!

All that is Scripturally necessary to go to Heaven is found in Acts 16:31b, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved...”

We Are Saved Solely By God's Imputed Righteousness

Romans 4:6, “Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works.”

Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”

IMPUTETH - The word “impute” means “to pass to one’s account, to count over” It means that Jesus places His righteousness upon our record when we trust upon Him for salvation. Romans chapter four speaks concerning Abraham, “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was COUNTED UNTO HIM for righteousness ” (Romans 4:3). What a beautiful truth! Abraham was not saved by good works; but rather, he believed God and was saved by Christ’s righteousness. Christ’s perfection was imputed (placed) on Abraham’s record in Heaven. God the Father viewed Abraham thereafter as having the righteousness of Christ. What a Savior!

Abraham believed God concerning the coming Messiah which was to save His people from their sins . . . “And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). Abraham was saved by faith alone in Christ, just as everybody else in the Old Testament was saved by faith alone in the Messiah, and still today. Nobody has ever been saved by works, or even by partial works! Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”

All the nonsense being foolishly taught in churches today to: “Repent of your sins” and “be willing to turn away from your sinful bad habits” to get to Heaven is NOT a necessary part of God's simple plan of salvation. In fact, it is not even allowed, because it is works! Jesus paid our debt of sin by sacrificing Himself on Calvary's cross. The price that Jesus paid for our sins was His precious blood according to 1st Peter 1:18-19. God does not require that we first be willing to reform our life of sinful ways as a prerequisite to saving faith.

Many sincere but misled ungodly preachers today have perverted the Gospel, adding repenting of your sins as a requirement to be saved. Proverbs 30:5-6, “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. ” Nowhere does the inspired King James Bible teach that to get to Heaven you must be willing to forsake a lifestyle of sinning.

In true salvation God saves you by faith alone, and then He gives you the gift of His indwelling Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9; 1st John 3:24). As we grow in the milk of the Word (1st Peter 2:2), being sanctified by the inspired Word of God (John 17:17), we learn to walk in the Spirit, receiving the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25). A changed life in a believer is produced by the indwelling Holy Spirit, as we choose to yield to the written Word of God in submission (2nd Corinthians 10:5-6). This is strictly a matter of discipleship and has absolutely nothing to do with the new birth.

It is damnable heresy for any misguided preacher or layman to teach that genuine repentance will change someone's behavior at any point in their Christian life, because that would be reformation and not repentance. Judas Iscariot repented of his sins (i.e., he was sorry that he betrayed an innocent man) in Matthew 27:3, but Judas still died in his unbelief and went to Hell forever. You don't get saved by turning from your sins, you get saved by BELIEVING THE GOSPEL. The “Gospel” is that Jesus died on a cross to pay for our sins, He was buried, and three days later He bodily resurrected from the dead (1st Corinthians 15:1-6). The Gospel does NOT include you being willing to clean up your life of sinful ways and bad habits.

Certainly God wants us as believers to make an effort to forsake our sinful ways with His help, but this is not required to be saved, nor does doing so prove that you are saved. Many hellbound religious people live morally upright lives. The Italian centurion Cornelius in Acts 10:2 was “A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway,” but he was still unsaved. Cornelius didn't get saved until verse 44.

The only sure proof that someone is saved is the indwelling Holy Spirit. 1st John 3:24, “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” The Apostle John penned the Epistle of 1st John to help each believer make that determination. I have felt the blessed presence of God's indwelling Holy Spirit in my life ever since I got saved at age 13. He convicts, comforts, guides, teaches and encourages me. If you are saved, then you know the Holy Spirit too. If you have questions about the Holy Spirit, I strongly encourage you you read Pastor Jack Hyles' helpful book titled: “MEET THE HOLY SPIRIT.”

Great Salvation Memes To Share On Social Media

Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

James chapter 2 speaks of justification before others, that is, discipleship—how faith is shown to be useful or mature (James 2:18). But Romans chapter 4 clearly says Abraham was justified before God by faith apart from works. James highlights discipleship; Paul explains salvation.

It's Still Not Too Late To Become Born Again

2nd Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

As long as you're still alive on earth, you still have time to repent of your unbelief to BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST to be saved. You DON'T repent of your sins to get to Heaven, you repent (change your mind) to admit two things: You are a SINNER, and Jesus is the SAVIOR.

Tragically, infidel Ken Ham in his perverse Answers-In-Genesis ministry falsely teaches that you must "turn from your wicked ways to be saved," but the inspired King James Bible DOESN'T teach that anywhere. Shame on the church and pastor who promote Ken Ham, and falsely tell people to "repent of your sins" to be saved. Jesus came to save us from our sins, He doesn't demand that you turn away from your sinful bad habits as a prerequisite to get to Heaven, which would be IMPOSSIBLE. No one has ever turned from their sins. All you can do is become a lesser sinner, but you are still a filthy sinner in the sight of our holy God.

The ONLY thing that makes me as a believer any more righteous than the vilest hellbound sinner, is the precious blood of Jesus that washed my sins away when I trusted Him at age 13. To be saved, you simply need to receive Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that He was buried, but then bodily resurrected from the dead three days later. This is the "Gospel" (Good News) according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. Trust Him oh sinner and be saved. Simply believe that Jesus did it all for you through Calvary's cross.

There is a popular heresy being taught in New IFB (independent fundamental Baptist) churches today, called the "Reprobate Doctrine." This false teaching says that certain sinners are beyond the hope of the Gospel because of their perpetual sins. According to the New IFB, homosexuals have crossed the line with God and are therefore reprobates beyond hope of ever being saved. I humbly disagree on a biblical basis. As our text passage of Scripture confirms in 2nd Peter 3:9, God is not willing that ANY should perish, but that all men should come to repentance. That is, God the Father wants all humans to change their mind (repent) to trust in the name of His only begotten Son, Jesus, as their Savior.

Jesus exclaimed in John 6:37, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” There is such a thing as a "reprobate," but it is not because God is unwilling to save them, it is because they refuse to come to Jesus to be saved. John 5:40, “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” Jesus didn't say ye cannot come; but rather, He said “ye will not come.” The choice alone is yours dear reader!

There are millions of lost sinners who will never come to Jesus to be saved, but it is not because God doesn't want to save them, it is because they don't want to be saved (Isaiah 59:1-2). John 3:20-21, “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” Carefully notice in verse 21 that the Bible doesn't say “he that turns from his sins” comes to the light; but rather, “he that doeth truth” comes to the light to be saved (cf. 2nd Timothy 2:25). Bible repentance is simply acknowledging THE TRUTH that you are a needy sinner, and that Jesus is the only Savior.

If you have never been born again dear friend, right now is the time!

To Repent From Sin Is Keeping The Law And A False Gospel

2nd Timothy 2:25-26,  “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”

Carefully notice if you will, that our text passage of Scripture DOES NOT teach to “repent of your sin” to get to Heaven;' but rather, it says to repent to simply acknowledge THE TRUTH. Dear reader, I will quote Pastor Harry Ironside (1876-1951) who said it perfectly:

“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; 'Except Ye Repent,' p. 36

And also, Pastor Ironside wrote these helpful words:

“In all that I have written I have failed completely to express what was surging up in my soul if I have given anyone the impression that I think of repentance as something meritorious which must be produced in man by self-effort ere he is fit to come to God for salvation.”

SOURCE: Dr. Harry Ironside, a quote from chapter 16, 'THE PREACHING THAT PRODUCES REPENTANCE,' from his timeless classic book, 'EXCEPT YE REPENT'

Repentance is absolutely necessary to be saved, but to repent (Greek verb: metanoeo) simply means “to think differently,” nothing else. So we need supplemental information to know what to change our mind about. From rightly dividing the Word of Truth, one can only conclude that salvation comes only by faith in Jesus Christ alone, and thus repentance simply facilitates (makes possible) BELIEVING, and it is believing that saves a man, not repentance; but both are necessary to be saved. Repentance can only be a change of mind to admit that you are a needy SINNER in the eyes of a holy God, and Jesus is the only SAVIOR in whom you must trust to receive God's free gift of eternal life. Anything else would constitute the WORKS OF THE LAW for salvation, which the Bible condemns (Romans 3:20).

Repentance from sins and faith in Christ are two separate gospels! Only faith saves!

Repentance from sins cannot save, it’s putting people under the Law. If you break one point of the Law, you have broken it all. No one can be saved by attempting to keep the Law. We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” (James 2:10).

“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.” (Galatians 3:11)

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (Galatians 3:10)

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” (Galatians 3:13)

“For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.” (Galatians 3:18)

“For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.” (Romans 4:2-3)

“For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.” (Romans 4:14-15)

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” (John 6:47)

“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” (Romans 3:28)

If you’re not a believer in Christ with childlike faith—also known as easy-believism—you’re not saved!

The inspired King James Bible teaches to repent of unbelief and dead works (Hebrews 6:1), NOT from your sin to be saved (which is the Devil's Lordship Salvation LIE). Bible believing saints must refute the damnable “repent of your sins” garbage. We must expose the Lordship Salvation fallacy, which prevents the required new birth to enter into God's Kingdom.

“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” (Galatians 2:16)

Corrupt pastors who tell people to “Repent of your sins” to be saved are preaching another gospel, which is accursed by God (Galatians 1:6-9).

“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” (Galatians 2:21)

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” (Titus 3:5)

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” (John 6:47)

In all of the preceding Scripture passages, not one word is said of repenting from your sins to be saved. Woe unto the wicked Baptist pastors and other religious cults today who embellish, change and pervert God's simple plan of salvation.

You Don't Have To Be Religious To Get To Heaven

Matthew 15:7-8, “Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”

The world is full of religious people, but they have never been born again. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born again. John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Please don't take this matter lightly dear reader. You absolutely cannot go to Heaven without being born again by faith alone in Jesus Christ.

The great news is that you don't have to attend a church one day in your life to go to Heaven. You don't need to be water baptized. You don't need to speak in Charismatic tongues (a pagan practice that has it's origin in witchcraft). You don't have to partake of church sacraments (which aren't even taught in the inspired Holy Scriptures). To get to Heaven you don't have to join a church or live a good life, you just need to cease from trying to save yourself and REST completely in the dear Savior, Jesus, who died on the cross for you.

From the earliest age, many people have been indoctrinated to think that you need to become religious if you want to go to Heaven, but the wonderful truth is that you don't have to be religious at all to go to Heaven, Eternal life is the free gift of God, paid for in full by the precious blood of Jesus Christ that He shed on Calvary's cross for all humanity 2,000 years ago. Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt of sin we could not pay. 2nd Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

Salvation is not found in any religion, but in a person—the Lord Jesus Christ. Religion tries to fit us with glasses, but the Lord wants to open our eyes with the truth. Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Billions of humans pursue religious paths throughout their life, but they never come to the knowledge of the Gospel which saves them who believe it.

What exactly is “the Gospel”?

1st Corinthians 15:1-6, “1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that 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: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

There you have it, the Gospel is three things:

1. Jesus DIED on a cross to pay for our sins.
2. He was BURIED.
3. Three days later Jesus bodily RESURRECTED from the dead.

That is why we read the beautiful words in 1st Thessalonians 4:14, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” The only prerequisite to believing the Gospel is you must realize that you are a needy sinner in the sight of a holy God. That is, you must see your need for salvation. You must know why you need to be saved, and that is because you are a woeful guilty sinner, the penalty of which is to spend eternity burning in Hell (Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8). This is why God gave mankind the Old Testament law. Romans 3:19-20, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”

The wicked Pharisees, and most Jews today, and all of the world thousands of false religions, foolishly think that the way you get to Heaven is by keeping the law. However, as we just read in Romans 3:20, God never intended for the law to save anyone; but rather, to show humanity our SINNERSHIP and bring us to CHRIST to be saved through faith alone in Him. Galatians 3:24-26, “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”

God has already made TWO great divisions to His inspired Word of OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS; or respectively, LAW and CHRIST. The Law shows us that we are needy sinners, and then brings us to Christ to be saved by faith in Him. Simply believe that Jesus did it all for you. Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do. 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. Salvation is not achieved, it is received. Eternal life is the free gift of God. Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The Gospel of John is God's Gospel tract according to 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.” The purpose for which John penned the Book of John is to convince you (the reader) that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God, so that by trusting upon Jesus' name you will be saved. That is so beautiful!

In the Gospel of John we find the word “believe” mentioned 85 times, but you won't find any requirement to repent, confess, turn, surrender, forsake, pray or get water baptized to get to Heaven. Jesus said in John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” The inspired Holy Bible is very clear about God's simple plan of salvation, as I have just shared with you. Yet, a counterfeit plan of salvation is being preached from nearly every church pulpit, every religious film, every so-called “Christian” book, every television station, every radio program and every Bible seminary today.

Repetition is the key to learning, which is why I often write blogs about salvation. There is nothing more important in this universe and beyond than the GOOD NEWS (i.e., the Gospel) of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen the third day, because the Good News of salvation through faith in Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven. 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.”

If you trust in the Sacramental Salvation of the Roman Catholic church, you will NOT go to Heaven. If you trust in the Sacramental Salvation of Martin Luther (1483-1546), who in his written catechisms (1529 AD) required water baptism and communion to be saved, then you WON'T go to Heaven. You either exclusively trust (rely) upon Christ's sacrifice on Calvary's cross as full-payment for your sins or you cannot be saved. There is no other name given among men whereby we can be saved (Acts 4:10-12).

Dear friend, you don't have to be religious to know that your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life (Luke 10:20). Religion is manmade, but salvation is of the Lord (Jonah 2:9).

Martin Luther: Master Of Deceit

Titus 1:10-14, “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”

There is not a more damnable false prophet than Martin Luther (1883-1546). Mr. Luther allegedly got saved by faith alone in 1517, but in his catechism written 12 years later in 1529 Luther plainly taught that no one can go to Heaven unless they are water baptized and partake of communion.

Pastor Max D. Younce (1935-2023) has authored a helpful book titled, “MARTIN LUTHER: MASTER OF DECEIT” (backup). Dr. Younce has graciously made his books freely available in .pdf format, or you can purchase hard copies from Heritage Baptist Bible Church.

Martin Luther was so perverted in his theology, that he even taught that you can be saved WITHOUT FAITH, just so long as you get water baptized. Here is a direct quote...

"𝗙𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗢𝗧; 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱..."

Unless he secretly repented of his false plan of salvation, Martin Luther split Hell wide open when he died in 1546.

Tragically, the biggest false religion in the world, Catholicism, actually quotes Martin Luther in an attempt to justify their heresy of Baptismal Regeneration. The following is quoted from Catholic.com...

"The Christian belief that baptism is necessary for salvation is so unshakable that even the Protestant Martin Luther affirmed the necessity of baptism. He wrote: 'Baptism is no human plaything but is instituted by God himself. Moreover, it is solemnly and strictly commanded that we must be baptized or we shall not be saved. We are not to regard it as an indifferent matter, then, like putting on a new red coat. It is of the greatest importance that we regard baptism as excellent, glorious, and exalted' "(Large Catechism 4:6). [emphasis added]

SOURCE: http://www.catholic.com/library/necessity_of_baptism.asp

What sad irony? Here's a heathen Catholic ministry quoting Martin Luther's own words to support their damnable heresy. I ask you: Why do most Christians today continue to honor Mr. Luther as a great man of faith, who clearly wasn't even saved? Luther taught that Water Baptism could save a person, even if no faith was present. This goes against even the plainest of Scripture...

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9)

“To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins” (Acts 10:43)

“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5)

Did Martin Luther never read Mark 16:16? ...

“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED.”

To be water baptized but not have faith in Jesus Christ is a sure road to Hell, fire and damnation! Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do.

Martin Luther Preaches Baptismal Regeneration Heresy

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a religious fraud, a heretic. Tragically, this man who has been dead for 477 years is still brainwashing people with his damnable heresies, leading them into Hellfire.

Here are the words of one such deceived soul...

"...the central truths of Christianity, the most important of which, for Luther, was the doctrine of justification — God's act of declaring a sinner righteous — by faith alone through God's grace. He began to teach that salvation or redemption is a gift of God's grace, attainable only through faith in Jesus as the messiah."

But did Luther really believe that salvation was "only through faith in Jesus?" No, he did not, as I will prove to you. In Luther's Large Catechism he foolishly states:

"Moreover, that it is most solemnly and strictly commanded that we must be baptized or we cannot be saved..." [emphasis added]

Mr. Luther penned these words in 1529, twelve years after his alleged conversion to Jesus Christ in 1517. How much more evidence do you need to know that Martin Luther was an imposter, a Modernist, and an unsaved man?

Beware Of Wolves In Sheep's Clothing

Martin Luther is a liar of liars, who is still deceiving people nearly 500 years later with his false teachings. This is because of the power of propaganda. This is why Adolf Hitler (1938), Joseph Stalin (1942), and President George W. Bush (2000/2004) have all been shamefully honored by TIME magazine (a known Communist organization).

Likewise, Martin Luther is responsible for leading untold millions of people into the eternal Lake of Fire. Woefully ignorant and foolish people continue to praise Luther today. There is much information available exposing Martin Luther. People by nature go by what they hear, not having sense enough to think objectively for themselves. It is the Bible preacher's duty to exhort people to “SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES” for the truth (John 5:39). What saith the Scripture? God's opinion is the only opinion that truly matters. Romans 4:3, “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.”

Mr. Luther was unquestionably a great religious leader of his time. Luther did much work to translate the Word of God. There is no question that Luther was a pioneer of the Reformation. Yet, tragically, Martin Luther taught ANOTHER GOSPEL (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4), which is a false plan of salvation that cannot produce the new birth by the Holy Spirit of God. There is a curse upon anyone, even an angel (demon), who preaches another gospel (Galatians 1:6-8). 

Mr. Luther sadly had churchianity, but he did not have Christianity. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born again. Religion cannot get a person into Heaven. I am not asking you to take my word for it dear reader; but rather, consider what the Scriptures teach, and then look at what Mr. Luther taught. They are diametrically opposed to each other. Those who promote Martin Luther are pulling on the same rope as the Devil.

RUN from the Lutheran religion! Please don't be sucked into this deadly cult. No one in the Old Testament was water baptized, but those who went to Heaven had faith in Christ (Acts 10:43). The repentant thief on the cross did not have time to get water baptized, his hands were nailed to a cross. All he did was (as a needy sinner) BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST to be saved. Martin Luther came out of the toxic Roman Catholic church, but the corrupt Catholic church did not come out of him.

Whereas Catholics require keeping SEVEN sacraments to be saved, Luther required keeping TWO sacraments to be saved. Either way they both taught the damnable heresy of Sacramental Salvation. Romans 3:20b plainly declares “by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith. The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU. Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty!
