He declared for a good portion of his life that we were not going to heaven (or certainly not to stay), but would reign on the earth…and then on the new earth.So far, I’ve not been able to make a good case against that.
Salvation offered by a televangelist or anybody else with the sinner’s prayer method then the Welcome to the family of God greeting. The idea of presenting Christ this way with no mention of repentance from sin and sanctification is damaging to people and the body of Christ.
There is no separation between faith in Christ and repentance.Those who believe will repent.No exceptions________________Charles A. HutchinsSenior Pastor SPWCCongregational Church of Godwww.spwc.church
I have heard many times: It takes more than believing in Jesus and repenting to be saved. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
[quote=sheepdogandy]There is no separation between faith in Christ and repentance.Those who believe will repent.No exceptions.[/quote]Andy, usually I agree with your posts and maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean here or perhaps you are misunderstanding my post. I am not saying one has to work his or her way to salvation or that repentance from sin and faith in Christ are not enough for one’s acceptance of God’s grace.What I am saying in regards to wrong teaching is the idea that what I see some televangelists or others do concerning using any means and emotional push possible to tell people they can have the guarantee of heaven by repeating the common sinner’s prayer. The Bible consistently teaches repentance from sin and faith is Christ as the way to salvation. I am referring to the false teaching that presents grace as the sinner’s prayer alone. Therefore, the person can go back to any type of sinful pattern without addressing transgressions towards God.
Yes I get you and agree.The difference is between someone who is manipulated into a sinner’s prayer and someone who has believed in their heart, genuinely and sincerely that Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of God.That experience of faith will produce the fruit of repentance AND a desire to submit to Christ as a disciple.Saul of Tarsus is the first example to come to mind.There are many more________________Charles A.

I Timothy 38 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;For those whose stance is that the Bible requires teetotalerism, why would deacons be forbidden from drinking too much Welch’s grape juice?Ephesians 518 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;How much Welch’s grape juice does it take to get drunk? Whatever amount it takes would be excess, right________________
