Chapter 12: The False Salvation Doctrine

Page 17

Take a moment now and go back to the five examples of Christian

salvation teachings that I showed you earlier. Notice that not even a single teaching talks about a change in your heart; a change in which you turn away from your sins and take up God’s righteousness. Notice also that two of those examples even cited the above salvation recipe from Romans yet

left off the idea of a changed heart, which is now a slave unto righteousness. Have you really “put on the new man?” If so, then you exhibit that fact by being a slave unto God’s righteousness. It is the “sign” to all that you now belong to God and are saved through either His grace or by the gift of the blood of His Son Jesus.

“And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” Romans 6:18

“But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.” Romans 6:22

Now in the practical sense, such a conversion and change of heart means that you would, if needed, see your own death hanging upside down on a cross like the Apostle Peter did — before you would forsake God’s righteousness. You would, like all the apostles, understand that you must

stand up for the truth of God’s word. If you cannot state this as a fact in your life, the blood of Jesus Christ does not save you. Further, the grace of Yahweh does not save you. In short, you do not belong to God unless you are willing to die for God.

The lack of the church teaching a changed and righteous heart is the primary element of the false salvation doctrine. If you take a moment and reflect on exactly how few Christians would lay down their life, it will give

you a sense of why Jesus said that few will find the way home and many will stay on the path to Hell.

The nature of today’s Christian Church draws in souls for Satan. If

you don’t believe this is a fact, just try to take a righteous stand for the truth of God’s Word within your church and see what happens to you.
