Once Saved

Why do so many people think to be saved all they have to do is accept Jesus as their savior. As if continuing in Christianity required no effort on their part. While Jesus, himself said follow me, my yoke is easy and my burden light. He never said it was non-existent, that you didn’t have to do anything as a Christian.

In fact, Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15) and go forth and teach those commandments. Matthew 28:19-20 KJV says, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

If you think salvation is only accepting Jesus you’re only getting part of the Gospel. You can lose your salvation even after baptism by continuing in sin.

Quit comparing yourself to the thief nailed on the cross next to Jesus, like you are unable to do anything. 

Quit confusing not sinning with good works.

While our righteousnesses may be as filthy rags, that is no excuse to not do good. God must value and have use of filthy rags.

Once saved, always saved is simply erroneous doctrine and it won’t lead anyone to Heaven.

Reform School

What is more important to the modern day Church, reform or revival?

I think the answer is reform. What good does it do to have 10,000 or 10 million new potential Christians if you will not teach them the fundamentals of baptism and the law?

Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20 KJV,
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Paul in Galatians describes the law as a school master. Why then do none of the modern churches teach and in many instances even fail to comprehend what is the law? They can divide it into patriarchal, Mosaic, Old, and New, but they can’t tell you correctly which ones to follow.

Let the Church go back to its schoolmaster the law. And if through faith they can let the Lord write his Commandments on their heart, then a flood of revival will come.
