The Basics Of The Christian Faith
Are you going to Heaven?
“...God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” —1st Timothy 2:3-4
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” —John 3:36
Warning: How Did You Get Saved? (We are saved by the “HEARING OF THE GOSPEL + FAITH!”)
“A demonic spirit's favorite activity is making a person feel religious without an understanding of the Word of God.” —Pastor Max D. Younce
It is by the blood of Christ that we are saved, i.e., the LITERAL blood of Jesus... "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come... by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us" (Hebrews 9:11,12). If you are a vile sinner, guilty, far from God, you may be brought close to God BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS... "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ" (Ephesians 2:13). What a Wonderful Savior! Jesus has paid our sin-debt in full. All we must do is freely receive God's GIFT of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).
I may be a nut, but I'm screwed onto the right bolt (Jesus).
“You may not be much, but you can be
faithful.”
—Pastor Lee Roberson

HE HATH DONE ALL THINGS WELL! (a life-changing heart-warming story, Dr. David Gibbs Jr.)
| “But we've so muddied the Gospel, that when men want to make a decision to trust Christ, we've made it so complicated that they can't make a simple decision to 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.' We'll say, 'If you don't do this' or 'You don't do that' or 'You haven't done that,' you're not saved'; but the truth of the matter is that when asked in the Bible, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?,' one clear simple answer was given to him — 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.'” — Pastor Curtis Hutson, “Things That Are Different Are Not The Same” | MP3 (preached at Southwide Baptist Fellowship on October 3, 1994) |
How Permanent Is Your Salvation?
“Most people I lead to Christ, [I] never take any more than five minutes, because I strip away all the junk and give them the truth of the Gospel. ...I've got people on the mission field. I've got preachers around this country. I have seen so much come from just keeping the Gospel clear—keeping it simple so a person can understand it.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold (a beautiful quote from the sermon: How Permanent Is Your Salvation? | MP3)
“There is no good deed that you have ever done, that will help secure your eternal destination.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold (a beautiful quote from the sermon: How Permanent Is Your Salvation? | MP3)
How Permanent
Is Your Salvation?
(by Pastor Hank Lindstrom, 1940-2008)
Isaiah 57:1, “The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.”
The preceding Scripture is important. In the Bible the unsaved are always referred to as the “wicked,” and the saved are always referred to as the “righteous.” The righteous are perishing in America and no one cares. It grieves God when Christians stray away. The Hebrew word for “perisheth is “abad” and means “to wander away, that is lose oneself.” Gradually, due to a lack of Biblical preaching from America's pulpits, the Church has lost the spiritual war in America. It grieves God that people are directionless these days spiritually, and no one cares. All the of so-called “Christian” radio, sermons, music and books are lame, wishy-washy and lacking sound doctrine, hindering people from finding the Word of God. The love of money has killed our nation's pulpits. People have wandered astray in apostasy! The Bible says that no one is considering the consequences, just as no one knew what hit them when the flood came in Noah's day (Matthew 24:37-39). Hell is coming!

“You have to believe what Christ did, what He said. Well, what did He do? He died on the cross and paid for my sins. Well, what do I have to do? BELIEVE He did it for me!” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, a great quote from the MP3 sermon titled, “Five Dangers Of Calvinism - Part Two” (Part One)
“Calvinism may get you to temporarily change your life, but it will not nor cannot give you assurance that you will go to Heaven. Christ saved me, holds me, keeps me, and yes, Christ will preserve me until the end.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, a great quote from the MP3 sermon titled, “Five Dangers Of Calvinism - Part Two” (Part One)

THE BUS MINISTRY (Pastor Castle, “The bus ministry doesn't just save souls, it saves lives!!!”)
“You can't stop a bird from landing on your head, but you can stop that bird from building a nest there.” —Pastor Jeff Owens (sermon: Are You In Your Right Mind?)

God's Love is UNCONDITIONAL, which means that it has absolutely nothing to do with us. Thankfully, God doesn't love us for who we are; but because of WHO HE IS. Likewise, we shouldn't love people because of who they are; but because of WHO WE ARE. Agape Vs. Phileo (MP3 sermon by the world's greatest preacher, Pastor Jack Hyles).
“EVIL” is the “DEVIL” with the “D” knocked off of it. If we'll turn to Christ by faith to be forgiven of our sins, and walk in Christ, then God will turn the EVIL around in our life so we can LIVE (“live” is “evil” spelled “backwards”).

Is your mind
FILLED WITH MADNESS
or are you IN YOUR RIGHT MIND in Christ Jesus?

There's a high price
for low living!
You had better remember God while you're young! Remember how short your life is. God won't stop you from sinning, but you won't stop God from judging that sin! Teenagers don't mind how straight you tell them the truth, it's the old people who get mad about it. Time goes fast. Remember thy Creator while you're young! Here is an excellent quote from Pastor E.M. Bounds (1835-1913):

Pastor Jeff Owens states in the above MP3 sermon: “God doesn't stay with us because of our perfection; He stays with us because of His perfection. God doesn't leave you because of your sin. God is bigger than that. Your sin gives you the opportunity to see the depth of God's love. Yes, God hates sin; but He loves you unconditionally. God loves you even though you may hate yourself. You have no right to hate yourself. God has that right, but He chooses to love you. Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins, because He loves all mankind unconditionally.”
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, nor anybody else is going to hit as hard as life, but it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
(a soulwinning MP3 sermon by Pastor Jeff Owens)
If you're not soul-winning, then your soul-losing.
“When you get saved, you get saved not because you deserve it, but because you simply let God save you and because you confess your own poor sinful state and your inability to save yourself.”

Romans 4:6, “Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHOUT WORKS.” Amen! That means when a lost sinner acknowledges their guilt of sin and places their trust solely in Jesus Christ to forgive their sins, God the Father imputes (charges) Christ's righteousness to that person's record in Heaven. From that point on God views that person as having the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Thus, the Christian believer is saved entirely by Christ's work of redemption, and not by any self-righteousness we have done or think we ever could do. We cannot. Salvation is entirely of the Lord God. Our part is simply to acknowledge our debt of sin and believe on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God.
Salvation is receiving, not giving. Eternal life is the gift of God (Romans 6:23). Salvation is freely given (Romans 5:15), freely offered (Romans 10:13), and freely received (Revelation 22:17).
Salvation happens when a person acknowledges their guilt of sin, coming to God on the basis of being a hell-deserving sinner; believing on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, for forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43).
If you're born once, you die twice; but if you're born twice, you die once.
Proverb 27:1,"Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."
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."
The Hypocrisy of the Critics of Eternal Security
It matters not what church you go to, but where will you spend eternity?
Hell's Best
Kept Secret
(Why so many false “Christians” are going to Hell in
their sins)
The reason men fight and kill each other in wars, is not because God has stopped loving men; but because men have not started loving God.
“They Have No Rest Day Nor Night”
When all else fails, read the instructions!
Acts 10:43—“To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”
