“Once Saved Always Saved” (OSAS) is a Lie from Hell and Taught by “Ungodly Men” (Jude 3-4)
“For there are certain men crept in unawares (undetected), who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 4

“I guess you need to send me packing too. I absolutely believe in the doctrine of OSAS.”
REPLY:
“With no further ado, you have openly professed to be a child of the devil by embracing HIS first and enduring lie…. “ye shall NOT surely die“ is undeniably the first mention, the first time eternal security / OSAS was taught and it was by Satan himself (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). Like Satan, you have added to God’s Word. That one 3-letter word Satan added led to the fall of mankind.
QUESTION ASKED:
REPLY:
No, not at all. It merely reveals that God has to initiate the relationship and “IF any man” enters through the door – Christ – he is saved. That is initial salvation but one must continue to the end, to endure to the end to ultimately be in glory. Yes we are saved immediately and yet the possession of eternal salvation is not unforfeitable.
Question Received:
“What is your definition of abiding in Christ?”
Reply:
Great question. The whole of Jesus’ teachings define abiding in Christ. The cross! See Lk. 9:23-24. We must lay down our lives. There are no short cuts (Jn 12:23-24).

“But if you believe someone can lose their salvation, isn’t that works salvation?”
Reply:
Works salvation? No the work of Christ saves us and yet HE – JESUS – says that after being saved we must ABIDE / remain in Him or we will be thrown into the fires of hell – John 15:6. Anyone who dies in sin is going to hell – God is “Holy, holy, holy” and told you to “be ye holy” and that He is only coming back for a church without spot, blemish, or any such thing but one that is holy (Revelation 4:8; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Ephesians 5:25-27). Those who are truly saved by grace, and are abiding in Christ, are overcoming sin, not making excuse for it like you are doing. You are preaching a cross-less false gospel saying that sin is greater than the LORD. You are preaching sin – that man can’t live holy. You are a child of the devil Mario, and God is calling you to repent. You speak nothing of Christ and His power but only make excuse for man’s sins. Read your own words. Your words are the words of a cross-less, Christ-denying counterfeit.
“Faith without works is dead” – it’s not saving faith (James 2). The fruit of truly knowing and abiding in Christ will always be good works (Matthew 3:7-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 2:11-14, etc.). Those who presently in Christ are keeping His works – obediently doing what He sent us to do.(Revelation 2:26).

“Hi Bro. Todd, Hope you’re fine and well. You may know that I used to be a calvinist. …sad, but true. I’m just curious if you’ve ever had or known (of) anyone who abandoned that ‘unconditional OSAS’ teaching…where they believe that a Christian can completely disown the Lord Jesus, depart from/abandon the faith etc., and still be/remain saved… sounds crazy, eh., but that’s what they believe (even NON-calvies). They’re sooooooo stubborn these folks…seems impossible to debate/reason with…as if unchangeable.
They’re ‘glued’ to this ‘doctrine’, which was unknown to the earliest church, right?! I even know ‘former’ Christians…but they’ll just say that they were never saved to begin with bla bla bla. It’s very aggravating…like talkin’ to a wall hahaha!
I don’t know a single person who believes as we do; who used to hold to that OSAS. Please let me know if you might. At least I’ll feel a bit better. God Bless You, Bro., thanks so much; & Maranatha! In HIM, B.”

Brother, I know that same feeling after trying (like yourself) to reach many OSAS and Calvinists for many years. It’s clearly a heart matter… they are “enemies of the cross of Christ” (Phil. 3:18-19)…. They do not want any personal responsibility and that’s why they cling to this lie…… meditate on this as I know you may have already. Brother, I have received correspondence from several people over the years who once believed the OSAS lie and now have seen it’s a lie. Yet as you said, there aren’t many of them who will repent of this heresy. Keep preaching His Word brother, you are being a light!
Common Deception:
“But God is “sovereign” so that means He is in total control and requires nothing of me! He sovereignly saved me and there’s nothing I can do to change/alter my relationship with Him!”
Reply:
Sovereignty is a largely misused word today – misused to the advantage of sinful men who do not want personal responsibility so they have fabricated a false sovereignty to their own destruction and to excuse themselves from personal accountability to the Judge of their eternal souls. Their false “sovereignty” is a mere ploy to remove the personal responsibility the God they claim is sovereign requires of them. That’s what underlies all of this – the un-repentant desire to live life on their own terms while deceiving themselves into believing that God will not hold them accountable by excluding them from His eternal kingdom (Isaiah 30:9-10; 2 Timothy4:3-4). The words “sovereign” or “sovereignty” never appear in Scripture. Divine sovereignty can only be defined by the whole of what the LORD has revealed to us about Himself in HIS Word (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalms 119). Those who misuse this word “sovereign” refuse to take the whole counsel of His Word into account. They want to divorce this term from the very One they are claiming is “sovereign.” Amazingly hypocritical.
Isn’t it interesting that these same people, in their self-serving fashion, constantly speak of God’s “sovereignty” (which they have conveniently redefined) and yet these same people are never heard speaking of God’s holiness which is stated throughout Scripture. In fact, it’s the only one of His divine attributes which is listed three times in succession and He did this twice – once in the New and once in the Old Testament (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). In fact, the LORD told us to “Be ye holy” because He is holy.
“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16
The sovereignty of God is not directly stated in His Word and yet holiness is all over the Bible, not only that God is holy but also that He requires such from any person who will spend eternity with Him (Hebrews 12:14).
Now, are you beginning to see just WHO the OSAS religion revolves around? It’s a religion with sinful man enthroned and the LORD dethroned!
Why do they adopt this OSAS (un-conditional security) theology?
“For the time will come when they will not endure (hold themselves accountable to) sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth (as God defines it in His whole Word), and shall be turned unto fables (stories, notions, false philosophies).” 2 Timothy 4:3-4
“After their own lusts” they have denied Christ by denying Him the reign of their personal lives. So, they have made up a god in their own sinful image who requires of them no personal responsibility for their thoughts and actions or accountability to be crucified with Christ in that daily cross Christ commanded to all who would truly follow Him (Luke 9:23-24). Paul calls them the very “enemies of the cross of Christ … whose god is their belly” (Philippians 3:18-19).
“(For MANY walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction (eternal damnation), whose God is their belly (carnal appetites), and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things (preserving their own lives),” Philippians 3:18-19
“For our conversation (way of life) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” Philippians 3:20

“You are stretching the truth by trying to link the lie Satan told Eve to OSAS! OSAS didn’t exist back then!”
Response:
The doctrine of OSAS “didn’t exist”? Of course it did or it started right there. “There is NO new thing under the sun” and Satan tempts us with what is “common to man” (Eccl. 1:9; 1 Cor. 10:13). It’s “common” and began with Satan telling the man and woman that they were going to be okay if they sinned against God. Adam and Eve had to be restored and that’s why the LORD shed the blood of animals to restore them which depicted Christ’s blood (Gen. 3:21). If Satan has changed his methods then Paul the apostle of Jesus lied to us by telling us that what the devil tempts us with is not “common to man” (1 Cor. 10:13).
Also: If in fact Satan is the king of “ye shall NOT surely die,” then we know he possesses all who buy that lie (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). DID Satan say “ye shall NOT surely die”? Yes or no please! Yes! If Satan originated this lie then anyone espousing it has brought devils into their life. Paul spoke of “seducing SPIRITS (devils) and doctrines of devils.” (1 Tim. 4:1) One comes with the other. Devils attach to and control the lives of all who buy this lie of the ages – OSAS is clearly equivalent to “ye shall NOT surely die” (Gen. 2:17; 3:4).
Carol B. writes:
“What is “Relativism”?” – A philosophy or theory holding that truth or moral or aesthetic value, etc., is not universal or absolute but may differ between individuals or cultures.
What is it that makes OSAS (once saved always saved) like Relativism?
If there is truth that can be known, then any departure from the truth, for whatever reason, is nothing more than situational ethics. In other words, to deny or disregard truth because we do not agree with it, do not like it, do not believe it, or want to live our lives our own way based on what we perceive to be right or wrong, will always ultimately lead to relativism. “Do what thou wilt” is the mantra of the church of Satan and is the philosophy that the arch enemy of man wants us to believe in and practice. Choosing to live your life this way, I warn all readers, is in direct rebellion to the truth revealed in the written Word of God.
When God’s commandments and precepts can be known, and the consequences of disobedience are clearly stated in His written Word, no excuse can be made, or will be accepted for turning away from the truth. Relativism is nothing more than finding a way to sin, and believing that it is acceptable. For those who call themselves Christians, relativism manifests itself in the damnable doctrine of OSAS. This happens by disregarding the warnings clearly stated in the Holy Scriptures and denying reality itself. Adherents of OSAS willfully deny God’s warning of judgment for sin.
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Hebrews 10:26
Christ can only die once for your sins. If you reject, mock, or deny His free gift. He will not crawl back on the cross and do it all over again
Make no mistake about the truth that sin separates us from a holy God. I have found that most of those who complain about God being silent, are the same ones who will justify sin. Can you really believe that you can take part in sins willingly and still hear from God?
When God speaks to us, he confirms that He approves of what we are doing or trying to do.
So, to think God will speak to us when we willingly sin, is to believe that God approves of the sin you are committing. Light and dark cannot occupy the same place at the same time.” Carol B.
To a pastor who emailed me and was upset that I was teaching the biblical truth about a conditional eternal security, the following response was sent:
“Yes, we have eternal life and yet the possession of eternal life is not automatically eternal … that is, if we do not abide which means remain in Christ to the end, we shall be “cast into the fire.” (Jn. 15:1-6) This is a missing doctrine from the modern church, especially those who have pigeon holed themselves into this “once saved always saved’ mentality which is not taught in Holy Scripture.
God is calling you to repent of the antinomian (lawless) heresy of “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” (license for sin). Jude 3-4.
Greg, you have no Scriptural/divine authority to teach the unconditional eternal security you are teaching. Jesus and His holy apostles taught to the contrary. See Matt. 10:22; 24:13; Acts 13:43; 14:22; Heb. 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; Rev. 2-3, etc.).
The LORD’s first priority is not the lost but those He has saved and keeping them saved. See John 17:9; Gal. 6:10. WHERE has satan’s false prophets breathed their strange fire? (Ps 74:3-4, 7) WHAT was Paul’s concern that he cried day and night for three years about? Was it from those who would come from without or from within? Acts 20:27-32
I am attaching the book “Lie of the Ages” which has never been refuted. I encourage you to read it.
The same Greek word for “sealed” in Eph. is used for Christ’s tomb being sealed and WE KNOW that seal was broken (Matt. 27:66).
Tagging Christ’s teaching to abide to the end is not roman catholic. That’s a smokescreen. You need to repent and stop being so prideful. You have much to learn young man.
You have no Scripture to refute this truth. The Truth about Predestined and Sealed.
The Bible says you are an “ungodly man” if you teach this lascivious lie (Jude 3-4).
*Specifically concerning false teachers, the Bible instructs: “rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;” (Titus 1:13)
When Jesus said “It is finished” He was referring to HIS perfect work of redemption and NOT your personal responsibility to die to self and follow Him! Yes “by faith” and if you have true, Heaven bound, saving faith, you will have the good fruit of good works. Why then would He have given you things to do? Why His many commands to be obeyed by those who truly love Him?
The possession of salvation is not automatically eternal. Why then would Jesus have told us – His own – that we must “endure to the end to be saved”? (Matt. 10:22; 24:13) What else could this possibly mean than if we do not continue with Him to the end of our lives on this earth, that we will not be saved?

“Thank you for speaking the truth on so many issues. I almost always agree with the points you prove from Scripture.
I grew up in a very non Calvinist church (Free Methodist). I’m not sure if I took their doctrine past the point where they were teaching or not, but as a child and teenager I believed that if I died and had any unconfessed sin, that I was doomed. In really looking at it now, I think that I still believe that to be the case!
When I was 19, my former husband told me the OSAS doctrine. This was the first time that I knew there was such a thing. After we married, we went to a Conservative Baptist church. Before we joined, I asked the pastor about the OSAS doctrine, and he gave me the standard answer about that if they left the faith, then they were never saved to begin with. (Interesting to note is that he grew up Free Methodist!)
Anyway, I don’t think that I’ve ever truly believed OSAS, even when a member of that church. I’ve been a member of two other churches since then, neither OSAS. At the present time, I’m not a member of any church and attend a home fellowship with like minded believers.
Knowing that some challenging times are ahead makes it hard for me to say with certainty that I could never deny Christ, even though that is the desire of my heart. Truly, I think that until I’m with Him, I’m not sure that I can be sure that I’ll be with Him for eternity.” Kathy
Reply:
Kathy, thank you for sharing your testimony. It’s refreshing to see people who were taught the truth from the beginning – that OSAS is a heresy. What you stated at the end is so very vital. Millions who were once saved (for sure) and then told they had no further personal responsibility to follow Christ in a real way, are going to deny Him openly in the end and go to hell for eternity and it will be worse for them than if they had never know the LORD (2 Pet. 2:20-21). They were betrayed for the false teachers who taught them this OSAS lie and also for their own disobedience of refusing to learn of the LORD from His written Word for themselves. Ready or not -Jesus is coming for a spotless bride (Eph. 5:25-27).
***QUESTION RECEIVED:
If I recall you pretty much said that Calvinist’s are not saved and that is just not true! Now was that a gracious thing to say??? I mean we could dialogue on this until doomsday, and I could pretty much say the same about you, but what would be the point???
REPLY:
No offense meant here but let me say it once again, standing on both feet and all boldness and no slight apology – No person who is trusting in some other system of theology other than that “doctrine of Christ” we must received AND continue in, will be saved in the end. – “WHOSOEVER (whether saved in the past or not) transgresseth (goes back), and abideth (remains) not in the doctrine of Christ, HATH NOT GOD. He that abideth (remains) in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” (2 John 9)
I have no problem at all with you are anyone disagreeing with me. It’s all about divine truth which is available to us all in God’s written Word friend.
And YES, that is a very gracious thing to say because – “Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”(Proverbs 27:5-6) Now, let me ask you a question now: “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16) …. by the way, you are welcome to say I’m not saved. There is no doubt that can tamper with the divine “great peace” of those who only get what they believe from God’s pure Word and “hate EVERY false way” such as calvinism (Psalms 119:104, 128, 165). In other words, why read it and pollute your mind if it’s not the BIBLE? No true disciple of Jesus looks ANY where except to Christ, the Word and His written Word for the truth. ALL others are deceived and will be damned (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Psalms 119:165

“Hello bother, this is Pastor Frank. I see that you are working hard for the Lord and contending with many deceived souls regarding that wicked false teacher, John Calvin and his demonic belief system. You are doing a great job! My words seem to fall on deaf ears. In the ministry that I am involved with, we minister mostly to people who are in the occult/cult systems. We have helped many, thanks be to our God! I really did not know a whole lot about this wicked man until I ran into a Calvinist preacher. After hearing him and disagreeing with the lies he was teaching, he got crazy and it could have turned violent. It made me really dig into why this lying preacher was so crazy. When I studied hard I found out the real truth of John Calvin, the person, and his demonic system. I could see that these people have the same spirit as there god Calvin, the monster. Even when I point out the fact that he was a mass murder, it does not seem to bother them at all! That in itself is amazing to me and is evil, to say the least. I think that if they could, they would burn us at the stake in the name of Calvin. Hang in there! You are doing a great job exposing this devil. God bless.” Frank S.

Unfortunately many will be losing their soul because of this.

Didn’t James say, we are tempted by our own lusts? James 1:14
So yes, God is not enticing us to sin. We are drawn away by our own lusts. Again, we are under the law. How can he be transgressing the law, when he wrote it?
To put all the Scriptures in focus, God did harden Pharaohs heart.
An evil spirit did come from the Lord to Saul.
God did create the devil.
God is working, manipulating, arranging everything. If He’s not, he’s not God.
Now, to blame God for your sin is unlawful. I repeat, we are under the law not Him.
Reply:
God only hardened Pharoah’s heart in the sense of allowing him to choose and then responding just like we see He does now in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. No, God did not create the devil, He created Lucifer who then rebelled (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:13-15). You are on dangerous ground attributing sin and evil to the Almighty who said He is “Holy, holy, holy” and that He “cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he ANY man.” (Isaiah 6:3; Rev. 4:8; James 1:13-15).
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15

Hi. The blood of Jesus is perfect. However, its’ application to the individual is yet another thing. Perfect righteousness is only arrived at/received and kept through the initial, continual, and presence of the perfect blood of Jesus Christ. This is accomplished as we choose to “walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 Jn. 1:7) Note the ongoing nature of the verse you just read as you re-read it slowly and prayerfully. Contrary to what Holy Writ plainly reveals, the eternal securest wants the convenience of a one-time “Profession of faith” or “Decision to accept Christ” as the way to be saved. This type of professing believer does not want to pick up the daily cross. He wants to believe he is secure in his daily life, while forsaking the Savior he claims to be saved by (Matt. 7:21; Lk. 6:46). In his mythical, fairy tale- like self-deception, he wants the heavenly crown, yet denies the daily cross (Matt. 16:24-25). He refuses to lose his own life for the life of the Savior and LORD because he is not truly trusting God. He wants his sin instead of the Savior. He makes excuse for living in sin and hides behind the thin veneer of his doctrines of false security. He is a hypocrite and a moral coward who refuses to literally obey the God He claims to be saved by (Tit. 1:16; Rev. 21:8). The LORD promised that our sin – if retained – WILL find us out in the end if we do not confess and forsake them (Num. 32:23; Prov. 28:13; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5-7; Heb. 12:14; Rev. 21:8, 27). God did not cease to have His immutable eternal divine nature – “holy, holy, holy” just because He saved us! Think about how sinfully presumptuous, self-serving, and pride-filled this assumption is! This heresy underlies all of reformed/Calvinistic theology and thinking. The teachings of “Once Saved Always Saved” false doctrine, as well as reformed theology, are simply the insidious workings of Satan to attack Christ and subvert His holy truth.
According to 1 John 1:7, only those who get saved and then continue to “walk in the light” with Christ will continue to be washed from their sins. Sin MUST be confessed (1 John 1:9).
The wages of sin is still death and God is “Holy, holy, holy.” Nothing could be more clear in His Word than the fact that any person who dies in sin will be in the lake of fire eternally (Rev. 21:8, 27; 22:14-15; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5-9).
Information on “plucked” below … keep reading ….
In the divine economy, as is expressed throughout the Holy Scriptures, salvation is not a one-time event, but the ongoing experience of knowing Him in an intimate, willing, obedient relationship (Exod. 25:8; 2 Chron. 15:2; Isa. 1:19-20; Jn. 17:3; Phil. 3:10; 2 Tim. 2:12, etc.). The fact that we all have stumbled and sinned after being saved does not justify that sin. God is still “holy, holy, holy” (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 4:8) His divine nature does not change just because He by His sheer mercy saved us (Tit. 3:5-7). This is where the Calvinist utterly and foolishly errs (Jonah 2:8). In fact, God told us that those who COVER (instead of CONFESS and FORSAKE sin) are not right with Him. Proverbs 28:13 and 1 John 1:6-2:2 are essential Scriptures which should be read in order to better understand this most critical doctrine.
In fact, He told us that those who COVER instead of CONFESS and FORSAKE their sin are not right with Him and will be found having their own righteousness instead of Christ’s perfect righteousness (Prov. 28:13; Phil. 3:9). 1 John 1:6-2:2 are essential in understanding a fuller scope of this whole topic. We must not err in the other direction from lasciviousness to legalism, thinking we can be made perfect in the flesh lest we fall from grace like the Galatians (Gal. 3:3; 5:4). Trusting in self instead of the one Savior will result in a fall from grace which is only accessed and abode/continued in “by FAITH.” (Rom. 5:1-2)
Righteousness can only come from Jesus Christ…imputed as we repent and place our full faith in Him alone for salvation that He alone earned for us (Rom. 3:21-4:5). God requires faith, not only to initially receive His imputed righteousness, but also ongoing to the end of one’s life or all is lost. This is a doctrine the reformist OSAS adherent completely denies and yet it is all over Scripture (Matt. 10:22; 24:13; Col. 1:23; Heb. 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Pet. 2:20-22; Rev. 2-3, etc.). The appropriation of His saving righteousness is only to those who truly believe on Jesus Christ and continue in that faith to the end. Many “fall away” (Lk. 8:13) or fail to realize that their “faith” is not authentic. Real, saving faith will always produce a life of good fruit, denying ungodliness and worldly lust and looking daily for the soon return of Jesus. Our Lord will be looking for those who are daily being washed by His Word, without spot and blemish (Titus 2:11-12; Eph. 5:25-27; 1 John 3:3).
We still have our sin nature. Paul says it is still a part of us and even he laments that he struggles with it. Paul also said that “if ye live after the flesh ye (believer) SHALL die” and of himself Paul the apostle said that he was personally responsible to “keep under” his body of sin – keep it crucified – or he also would be a “castaway” which simply means that he would ultimately be cast away from God into hell. Paul was not an eternal securest as the tradition of Calvinism and reformed theology erroneously teaches today. The real grace teacher, Paul, said this of divine grace, a passage purposely and completely dodged, avoided, shunned, and refused by the modern Calvinist…
Titus 2:11-14 brings in many rejected truths, including 1. What divine grace teaches when it is truly in a person’s life, 2. That Christ died to free us from ALL unrighteousness, and if we are not walking in this sin-killing grace, we will not be ready at His soon return, and 3. That when God’s grace is truly in us, we are “zealous of good works”:
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to ALL MEN, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Titus 2:11-14

The phony grace message of the evangelicals who follow Calvin instead of Christ, robs the fear of the LORD from the hearts of their gullible audience and leads them into a life of sin. The catastrophic result is that they are not ready for the return of Jesus and will be rejected as lukewarm …. Check what Jesus said out here in Luke 21:33-36….
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:33-36
Calvinists also call sin “doing wrong” or “having faults” and that these things will not be imputed to Christians, but will all burn at the judgment seat of Christ. Where does Holy Scripture say this? No where, especially when biblical passages are read in their own context and in context with the whole of Scripture. Paul warns CHRISTIANS of the 5 sins that kept God’s people out of their promised land (Heaven) ….. L.I.F.T.M. = lust, idolatry, fornication, tempting Christ, murmuring …. See 1 Cor. 9:27-10:12. Paul cited 17 specific sins that will keep a former believer out of the kingdom of God (Gal. 5:19-21). There’s much more on this in the NT Scriptures (Eph. 5:5-7; Rev. 21:8, 27; 1 Cor. 6:9-10, etc.
Only our works will be judged there. Yes, we are known and will be judged by our works due to the fact that our works clearly reveal what is truly in our heart.
“But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. (why such a warning if there were no possibility of losing it?) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:” Revelation 2:25-26
Enduring to the end is a requirement. Irrevocable eternal damnation awaits all who after being saved fall away, do not continue to walk with Christ on His stated biblically recorded terms. Abide or perish (John 15:6).
When speaking to His very own people, Jesus promised that only those among them that “overcome” would be with Him eternally (Rev. 2-3). The Holy Spirit told us through Peter that in the end “the righteous” would “scarcely be saved.” Many have fallen away or not endured to the end which is a requirement imposed upon us by the LORD. “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Pet. 4:18)
Whether previously saved or not, all those who die in sin are going to the lake of fire. The whole of God’s Word testifies to this fact. Jesus said to cut off the hand and pluck out the eye that causes us to offend the one true God who said He is “holy, holy, holy.” (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 4:8) Read Mark 9:42-49, a passage purposely dodged by the spineless, self-serving coward behind today’s pulpits who claim to be representing Christ while refusing to declare the full counsel of His Word. He promised us that He will be ashamed of them in the Judgment, which means they will be vanquished into the bowels of eternal damnation (Mk. 8:38; Jn. 8:47). There is no doubt that after we have been saved, we have all sinned against God and yet there are those who openly and honestly admit they have sinned and repent, turning back to the LORD (Lk. 8:15; 1 Jn. 1:7-10; Rev. 3:17-19). Tragically, there are many who use false doctrine like OSAS (once saved always saved) to cloak themselves in that sin, falsely claiming they are still secure. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Proverbs 28:13 says “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”
Speaking to Christians, Rom. 8:13 says “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
If we are to have the Peace of God, how can we have that peace if we are always fearful of losing our salvation when we do wrong? God has not given us the spirit of fear. Brother, this is mere reasoning, with self at heart instead of the Savior. We must die to self and self’s desires, “needs”, and wants. “Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3) You are approaching this in the flesh instead of by the pure counsel of His Word in the holy fear of God. Reread your statement above and perhaps you will see that self is first – the preservation and pampering of self. Peace is a by product or fruit of abiding in Christ which means abiding in/obeying His teachings to deny self, take up the cross to mortify self, and follow Him (Lk. 9:23-24). The false teachers will never teach this but rather a diabolical and utterly false security. They sell this as a ware, to tickle ears, entertain, and grow their nickels, noses, and numbers. These guys have their own bellies or carnal appetites at heart and “mind earthly things.” (Phil. 3:17-21). These are the ravenous wolves we are so often warned about in God’s Word (Matt. 7:15; Acts 20:20-32), etc.). Having peace is not the goal, but rather the goal is to “know him” and “the power of his resurrection, being made conformable to his DEATH.” (Phil. 3:10). He has called us to be conformed to the image of His Son – His Son came to die – and to be rightly serving the very “Prince of peace” we claim to know (Isa. 9:6-7; Rom. 8:29). When knowing Him is truly our goal (as was Paul’s and not some selfish end) we will refuse error and man’s tradition and search out and obey His holy Precepts and will be granted by Him “GREAT peace” – “GREAT PEACE have they that LOVE thy law (Word) and nothing shall offend them.” (Ps. 119:165) False teaching produces a pseudo peace that is a cheap counterfeit for the deep, clean, sound, peace of God that passes all understanding and keeps our hearts and minds through Jesus Christ our LORD (Phil. 4:4-8, etc.). Only those who love and therefore obey His pure, clean, and clear counsel will be granted His “great peace.” (Ps 119:165) All others claiming to have peace are deceived.
My prayer today is that both of us will be blessed to completely change any single thing we have espoused and that is not aligned with the clear message of the full-counsel of Holy Writ.
At least think on these things. If we are a part of the Body of Christ, He cannot cut off a part of Himself if we do wrong. See also John 17. “Cut off” is a term used by the LORD as a serious warning. It is an ultimatum for those of His who do not “continue in his goodness” (Rom. 11:22). Jesus said that those who do not remain/abide in Him after being in Him (saved) will be cut off and thrown into the fires of eternal damnation (Jn. 15:5).

The Idiocy of Calvinism

The Five Filthy Falsehoods of Calvinism
The Shocking Connection between Calvinism and Catholicism
Calvinism’s Terrible TULIP:
- Total Depravity
- Unconditional Election
- Limited Atonement
- Irresistible Grace
- Perseverance of the Saints
Calvinism and dispensationalism are example of cult systems that displace the final divine authority of Holy Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Not even 1 point of calvinism is true. All 5 points of calvinism are patently false.
Below is more on the corruption of Calvinism and those “ungodly men” who teach and promote these false doctrines (Jude 3-4).
Calvinism is NOT Christianity …. it’s a diabolical perversion of the message of Christ and His holy apostles and fulfills Jude’s prophecy in Jude 3-4.
WHEN you hear someone use the terminology “sovereign grace” you know you are dealing with a deceived calvinist who has bought into a false gospel that intentionally over-emphasizes grace while ignoring divine holiness and justice and the God-given conditions for abiding in Christ. Cross-less. Rebuke and run if they don’t repent – which they most likely won’t because they are intoxicated with this delusion. Calvinism is a system, a set of doctrines of devils that grossly misrepresents Christ and His original Gospel! Calvinism and the Devils who Peddle it Busted!
Jim Borge writes: “I was brought up Lutheran and taught that the Reformation was a good thing. How untrue. What the Church needed was REVIVAL (righteousness and truth!), and not more dead doctrines of men!”
Jim Borge is correct: In the period of time we call “the dark ages,” when darkness had fallen on the peoples of the earth through the antichrist cult of Rome, the body of Christ simply needed and now needs to get back to the Bible. It doesn’t need to be mixed or rewritten but rather to be read honestly and thoroughly (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). The Word of God, like its divine Author, “is settled in heaven,” for ever and is unchanging, is eternally constant (Psalms 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; Mark 13:31, etc.).
We must go back further than the “reformation.” Nothing needed to be RE-formed…. because we have a Bible which is the final divine authority (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). Many of the “reformers” were absolute heretics such as the demon possessed murderous maniac, John Calvin.
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms 119:89
Yet there was much mixture and error that came from the so-called “reformers.” We don’t need them – we need God’s Word. Some waste hours and even years studying “church history” instead of just getting into the Word of God. Sad. Today’s long established apostate seminaries spend more time on church history and other extra-biblical books than the Bible. The Bible is set aside and attention is given to what mere men said about the Bible instead of simply reading God’s Word itself. Beware. | Church History or the Scriptures?
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31
Calvinism is a cancer being spread by some of the most insidious wolves in the business. Oh and I mean business because they are about their father Satan’s business.
— TOTAL DEPRAVITY
Calvinists say that God punishes man for what man can’t help and that God supposedly commands men to do something man can’t do and then turns around and judges those men for what they can’t do. Here’s what I mean: Calvinism’s TULIP (five falsehoods) begin with “total depravity” (the “T) which in this evil theology means that man is so depraved that he has no ability to respond to God when God draws that man.
The doctrine of “total depravity” as created and defined by Calvinists, means that man is so very sinful that he has no will or ability to make the decision to obey what God demands – repentance and faith in Christ (Acts 20:21). So their terminology and definition of “total depravity” is not only ludicrous but patently false.
“In either scenario the first step is the same and from this understanding everything else in the Calvinistic system follows. The doctrine of Total Depravity says that due to the sin nature that we are born with man is incapable of hearing the Gospel and responding to it in a positive manner, i.e., respond in faith and trust God for our salvation through his Son Christ Jesus. Without God first making us able to have faith in Christ, after having chosen us to such a grace (and conversely, not choosing the others), we would never have faith in Christ.” Kirby Hopper
So even though God “commandeth ALL men everywhere to repent” and “is not willing that ANY should perish,” according to this evil theology, he only gives certain, special, elite people the ability or gift to repent and be saved. Such an idea is unscriptural, misleading, and completely false (Acts 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9). Actually, in this Satanic system, the demon god it depicts, repents for those special, respect-above-all-the-others persons. These Calvinists frame themselves as the elite elect who have no personal responsibility. The Bible teaches that we must receive and not deny Christ to be His elect. The “called, chosen, and FAITHFUL” will be with Him (Revelation 17:14). So, Calvinism has twisted the meaning of the “elect.” Even though the Bible informs us that “There is NO respect of persons with God,” the false god (evil spirit) behind Calvinism is said to have had respect of persons by arbitrarily hating and assigning some to eternal damnation in the lake of fire before the foundation of the world (Romans 2:11). That my friends, is not the one true God revealed in Holy Scripture who “is love.” (1 John 4:16)
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” Matthew 25:41
Jesus says that hell was NOT originally created for any man. He said hell is created for the devil and his angels and yet calvinism teaches that God ordained certain, the un-elect to go to hell from the foundation of the world (Matt 25:41). God’s Word says that Jesus “is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.” (1 John 2:2) Jesus foretold that He was going to go to the cross to die and “draw ALL men” to Himself and so that has to mean He intends to save all men (John 12:32).
DID or did not Jesus die for “ALL men”?
The diabolical cult of calvinism claims that Jesus died for some and not “ALL men.” Anyone who believes the system of calvinistic lies is a highly delusional counterfeit.
“God our Saviour; 4 Who WILL (it’s His will) have ALLLLL men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for ALLLLLL, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:4-6
Calvinism is the doctrinal system that attracts spineless moral cowards who want nothing to do with personal responsibility and accountability to God. They refuse to truly repent, lay down their lives in this sinful world, die to self, and truly follow Jesus. Repent sinner.
“And he is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD.” 1 John 2:2
John Calvin was an absolute heretical fraud and so are all who espouse and are teaching his demonic errors.
One cannot possibly be a Bible believer and a calvinist.
The first point, total depravity, as defined by Calvinism, says that man is so depraved that he has no ability to do what God tells him to do, repent. Some who see this evil teaching for what it is define it as total inability. According to calvinists, God commands men to do something He doesn’t allow them the ability to do – “repent.” For example “God … commandeth all men every where to repent.” (Acts 17:30)
IF YOU HAVE SEEN CALVINISM, YOU HAVE SEEN SATAN HIMSELF.
IF YOU HAVE HEARD THAT ONE WHO TEACHES CALVINISM, REFORMED THEOLOGY, AND ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED, YOU HAVE SEE AN “UNGODLY” MAN, A WOLF (JUDE 3-4).
“I was listening to a Q&A with RC Sproul a couple years ago. The question was asked “If I have 2 kids and one has been predestined for heaven and the other predestined for hell … How do I deal with this” Sproul said that God’s grace would be demonstrated on the one. And he being a just Judge will judge the other kid sending him to judgement. That answer made me sick to my stomach to the point where I almost felt like throwing up. It left a feeling of disgust in my soul that lasted for a few days. Have never listened to him again.” MM
Calvinistic thinking is completely self-centered just like the author of Calvinism himself – Satan (see Isaiah 14:12-15; Genesis 2:17; 3:4, etc.). Have you noticed that you have never met a Calvinist who doesn’t believe that he (of course) is one of those special, “elect” persons whom God chose to be His while supposedly preordaining the remainder of His population to go to eternal damnation? How convenient.
—— AUGUSTINE WAS A CATHOLIC.
JOHN CALVIN REPEATEDLY ADMITTED TO GETTING HIS DOCTRINE FROM THIS PAGAN DEVIL.
ALL OF CALVINISM IS BASED ON A COMPLETELY FALSE PREMISE….. IT SUPPOSES THAT ANOTHER THING OR DOCTRINE OR SET OF BELIEFS IS NEEDED – TULIP – WHICH DENIES THAT SCRIPTURE IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY AND THE ONLY DOCTRINE NEEDED FOR THE BORN AGAIN SAINT (2 PETER 1:3-4; 20-21; 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17, ETC.). In other words, the doctrines of calvinism displace, replace the Bible as final divine authority. THAT my friends is a cult. CALVINISM CALLS GOD A LIAR. CALVINISTS SAY THAT GOD DID NOT GIVE US SUFFICIENT TRUTH IN HIS WORD – THAT ANOTHER EXTRA-BIBLICAL “SOURCE” OR SYSTEM IS NEEDED. SO THE BASIS OF CALVINISM IS THAT THE BIBLE IS NOT ENOUGH – THAT ANOTHER MERE SINFUL MAN OR MEN (IN THIS CASE A CONSUMMATE MURDERER) WERE AND ARE NEEDED TO DETERMINE TRUTH.
“Those in the Reformed / Calvinist movement believe God ordains everything including man’s sins; which would make God a sinner himself; which is a lie from Satan himself. God is Holy and separate from sinners! Calvinism is a man made doctrine to boost man’s ego and pride which God says is an abomination. Jesus gave repentance to all of Israel but they willingly rejected Him. Jesus did not say Israel could not come to him, he said he wanted them to come to Him but they would not come to him. Calvinism is a cult.” Brian White
Oh and guess what? ONLY those who buy into this package are the Calvinists. No non-elect Calvinist will ever be heard teaching this absurd demonology. In other words all those who believe this just so happen to be the special “elect.” Go figure!!!!
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” 1 Peter 1:2
Have you ever studied the “foreknowledge of God”? Foreknowledge – knowing beforehand – in no way means God robbed individuals of their free will which He gave them to begin with. “Foreknowledge” simply means God knows all things past, present, and future. He knows the decisions people are going to make and yet He “cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
Calvinism is demonic as well as those who espouse this evil system of hatred and futility (1 Timothy 4:1). None of those Romans verses they misuse mean or say that God tampered with the free will HE gave men… as if He foreordained that some go to hell as well as forcing His “elect” into His kingdom against their own free will. Calvinists read into the text. They are indoctrinated from small children with this diabolical system.
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15
“But if the word of God foretells that some angels and men shall be certainly punished, it did so because it foreknew that they would be unchangeably [wicked], but not because God had created them so.” Justin Martyr- c. 100/114AD – c. 162/168 AD.
Individual human beings are only “elect” in the sense that they elect to serve God on His terms. His foreknowledge does not in any way mean that He tampers with man’s will or makes the choice for him. God in His Word assures us that He “cannot be tempted with evil.” – “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
So God told us that He is “NOT willing that ANY should perish” and yet you say He sadistically preordained some for hell? The Bible says that God is “not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
God sovereignly chose to give man the choice … and His will is that all would be saved: “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4)
“CALVINISM IS A THREAT. ULTIMATELY, THIS FALSE THEOLOGY WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS A GOD WHO IS PLAYING CHESS WITH HIMSELF, DECIDING WHO HE LOVES BEST OUT OF ALL HIS EQUALLY SINFUL CHESS PIECES, LIKE A KID PLAYING FAVORITES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES YOU SO SPECIAL OVER THE REST OF GOD’S EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN? HOW ABOUT A DESIRE TO GET TO KNOW HIM OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL? THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENTIATING FACTOR. A JUST GOD CANNOT REMAIN JUST BY CHOOSING WHO HE WILL SAVE FROM A MOB OF EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN. THEY SHOULD EITHER ALL BURN OR ALL GO TO HEAVEN, RIGHT? AFTER ALL, ALL MEN ARE EQUALLY SINFUL IN HIS HOLY EYES. FURTHERMORE, WHAT LOVE IS THERE IN A GOD WHO SAVES SOME CHILDREN FOR NO SPECIAL REASON, KNOWING IN ADVANCE THAT HE WOULD SEND THE REST TO HELL? YET, SOMEHOW HE LOVES US?
THE TRUTH IS, THAT GOD HAS TO HAVE A REASON FOR CHOOSING YOU TO BE SAVED. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT SETS YOU APART FROM ALL THE OTHER EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN. THAT WOULD BE YOUR FREE WILL AND DECISION TO RESPOND TO HIS DRAWING, REPENT, PUT YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST, AND FOLLOW HIM.” MARION MILLS
“Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15
Think how delusional it is to claim that a just God is going to punish people who had no choice in committing the sin that sent them to hell. That’s a “another Jesus”, a demon. Anyone teaching such is a wolf (2 Corinthians 11:2-5).
If the LORD warned us: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7-8) How is it then that man has no choice, no ability to exercise his own God-given personal will to sow good or bad seed, to make decisions?
Simple question: How, why would a just God punish those who CHOSE to do evil if they had no choice, free will in the matter? He wouldn’t. To claim such is to say God is not just. “God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
This following passage ends the calvinistic delusion for all honest Bible students:
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15
Calvinism blasphemously makes God out to be an accessory to and agent of evil.
On the difference between Calvinism and truly following Jesus, Bruce Pepper writes:
“I started studying Calvinism in order to refute him. In the first paragraph of one of his books, it said God predestined the fall of man for His own perverse pleasure. I read all I needed to know to notice that this man was with the devil and not a Christian. And Calvin was also a murderer. There are many people who follow Jesus the way THEY think best, which is not following Jesus at all. They’ll all be in hell. There’s one way to follow Jesus and that’s HIS way – the way He prescribes in His Word. The narrow way is the way that only a few there be that find it. Being a true Christian is being a follower of Christ and therefore following Him by laying down one’s life for Christ. All the wants, desires, hopes, and aspiration of the true disciple of Jesus is in Christ alone. The authentic follower of the Son of God, follows only the Holy Scriptures in such a way, that Christ Himself, and His ministry still walk the earth in a man. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. The dead are still raised, the blind see and I still see the deaf ears made to hear.”
It should be noted that in this deformed system of theology all five of its points are interrelated. In other words, if one of the points are wrong, they are all wrong and any true Bible believer knows they are all dead wrong.
— Calvinism is a false system of theology through which men think they see God ….. it completely misleads the individual who is too lazy to study God’s Word for himself as the Word commands us to do (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15). It’s a diabolically crafted grid or prism though which deceived people see “God” when in fact it’s not the LORD at all. Calvinism is a doctrine of devils which is bought into by those who refuse to die to self as Jesus said one must do to be saved (Luke 9:23-24; 1 Timothy 4:1-3). Calvinism teaches them that they have no free will and so, in delusionally believing they are the elect, the special chosen, in this theology, they vainly believe they are not personally responsible for any sin or for not living for Christ, etc. Utter nonsense.
Those who authentically honor God do so by honoring His Word and denouncing all religious affiliations and affinities, hating them compared to their burning love for Christ (Matt. 7:6-9; Lk. 14:26-27). These are the few that He is going to save (Lk. 12:32; 21:19; 1 Pet. 4:18).
***Bryan Davis writes: “The god of Calvinism is the most cruel, hateful being imaginable. He guarantees that people will sin, punishes them eternally for doing so, and forces a select few to become his followers, though he doesn’t provide them with enough grace to escape sin, yet just enough to appear righteous on the surface, making them models of hypocrisy and therefore the laughingstock of the world.”
The doctrines of Calvinism and OSAS (once saved always saved) were the exact message of the false prophets of Israel and are the message of the grace-perverting wolves of today.
SATAN said “Ye shall NOT surely die” (Gen. 3:4) which is a direct contradiction of what God had just told the man and woman – “Thou shalt surely die” if they sinned against Him (Gen. 2:17). THIS is the same exact message of “once saved always saved” or the diabolical doctrines of Calvinism. This same devil has used “ungodly men,” false teachers throughout history to teach this lie.
“…ye shall NOT surely die…” Genesis 3:4 ~Satan. Satan added “not.” Compare Genesis 2:17 and 3:4 for a blockbuster revelation. In other words, you can sin against God and you will not lose your place with God, even though He’s “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8)
“…we are delivered to do all these abominations?” Jeremiah 7:10 ~false prophets.
In other words, we have our “saved” badge and are not accountable or responsible for how we live. Jesus covers all our sins no matter what! We are going to Heaven and don’t want to be bothered with the details of truly repenting and making Jesus the literal LORD and Master of our daily lives (Lk. 9:23-24; 14:33; 19:27).
“…ye shall have peace, no evil shall come upon you.” Jeremiah 23:17 ~false prophets. The false leaders of Jeremiah’s day were telling Israel that they were eternally secure in their sins, ushering them into the bowels of hell while they vainly thought they were secure in their lukewarmness and sin. They were abusing and perverting the grace of God (Jude 3-4; Titus 2:11-14; Rev. 3:15-16).
“…where is the God of judgment?” Malachi 2:17 ~false prophets. God hasn’t judged us for our sins and so He won’t in the end.
“The evil (our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us (from entering Heaven).” Amos 9:10 ~false prophets. Our sins won’t prevent or hold us back from receiving the blessings of Heaven. We believe we are once saved always saved like our leaders have told us.
Satan has not changed (Eccl. 1:9; 1 Cor. 10:13), and neither has God (Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8; James 1:17). No unholy person, regardless of his past relationship with God, will enter eternal glory but rather will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity (Ezek. 33:12-13; Heb. 12:14; Rev. 21:8, 27; 22:11; etc.).
The Bible tells us that those who teach these things are “ungodly men” no matter what they pose as. These are the very wolves in sheep’s clothing Christ warned us about (Matt. 7:15).
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4For there ARE certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY MEN, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4
“THE EVIL SHALL NOT OVERTAKE NOR PREVENT US” (AMOS 9:10) … This is the Evil Attitude of Some Who Claim to Know Christ….
“All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword (judgment), which say, The evil (judgment for our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us.” Amos 9:10 …..
Note here in this very important verse that the LORD points out an inner attitude among His very own people (of all generations) that has and is leading to their undoing and ultimately the eternal damnation of many. Should we hearken to this warning and learn from history? It is incumbent upon us that we understand and carefully and conscientiously heed this warning before it is too late.
This simply means and identifies the attitude that “our sin will not prevent us from entering God’s eternal kingdom.”
“The evil (our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us (from entering Heaven).” Amos 9:10 (message of the false prophets of all generations)
Of the cult of Calvinism, Michael Bonacquisti writes:
“Calvinism is a gross heresy and a gross misinterpretation of Scripture…it is a great lie! In reality, John Calvin was a serial murderer, who was counting on his Roman Catholic infant baptism for his salvation. He never had a born again experience. He died unrepentant, not one of the Elect……John Calvin basically hijacked Augustine’s theology and claimed it as his own…..”
CALVINISM: Theology of the godless, spineless moral coward who sits around doing nothing while the world goes to hell in a hand basket. Why? It’s simple: In the delusional mind of the Calvinist, all of Christ’s commands to evangelize the lost are null and void because after all, only the predetermined, “elect” can be saved and even they have no say so in that matter. So, to the maniacal mind of the Calvinist, to obey Jesus’ command to go and preach the Gospel to others would be a waste of time.
Calvinism is not only not “biblical Christianity”, it is a gross attack on the original Gospel of Jesus and the character of a loving and just God. The origins of the cult of calvinism are disturbing to put it lightly. Its roots are cursed. It is “another gospel” and so all who espouse and promulgate it are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9). | Calvinism’s Origins and Historical Roots [podcast]
Moral cowardice sums up the average Calvinist. People who buy this package of lies (Calvinism) only do so because they want no personal responsibility in the way they conduct their personal, daily lives …. they are enemies of the cross of Christ as Paul put it (Philippians 3:18-19) They love this sinful world and the love of the Father is not in them (1 John 2:15) … think about it … if they have no free will, they are not personally responsible for any of their sins …. it’s all His fault because He pre-ordained them to live in sin…. but the Bible says “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” (James 1:13-15)
“Sovereign grace” is the term used by calvinists who hide behind the lie that they have nothing to do with their relationship with God but were rather roped into it before the foundation of the world. In the demented theology of calvinism, God chose only a select few to be His His “elect” whether they like it or not and so they are forced to remain “stuck” with the LORD for all eternity. Oh, and in the diabolical doctrines of calvinism all those who aren’t the special “elect” were elected by “God” to be damned – before they had the opportunity to choose or reject Him for themselves. Now that is a doctrine of devils among many other diabolical heresies espoused by calvinists. The false doctrines of calvinism clearly reveal that their author is not a loving and just God but rather Satan himself.
In Satan’s masterpiece of DE-formed theology (Calvinism), there is the “U” of the terrible TULIP. The “U” stands for “unconditional election” where God is said to have pre-selected certain people to go to Heaven and certain to suffer eternally in hell. This is in the face of the fact that Jesus told us that He was going to “draw ALL men” to Himself when He went to that cross (John 12:32). Christ’s apostle John later told us that Jesus Christ “is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD.” (1 John 2:2)
Jesus died for “the WHOLE world” – that’s everyone. So, yet you say God sent His Son to pay the price for “the WHOLE world” and yet He simultaneously ordained – before they even lived – for some to be damned??? That is a demon, not the God of the Bible.
No Free Will?
So God told His very own people to “CHOOSE you this day whom ye will serve” and yet they can’t choose? (Joshua 24:15) In other words you are saying they have no free will to choose? So, God is a lunatic for telling His own people to make a choice they couldn’t make?
So God told mankind to “CHOOSE life” and yet mankind has no free will to “choose”?
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deuteronomy 30:19
— CALVINISM DEBUNKED! BUSTED! JOHN CALVIN was a murderous heretic who got his theology from a catholic (Augustine). ISM is just another extra biblical system of theology that contradicts Holy Scripture …. a completely false system of belief… “another gospel.”(Galatians 1:6-9)
When He foretold dying for the sins of mankind, WHO, HOW MANY did the Son of God tell us He was going to “draw” in order to save?
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me.” John 12:32
WHY would Jesus say He was going to “draw ALL MEN” if it weren’t His intent to save “ALL MEN”?
“Jesus Christ the righteous … 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE world.” 1 John 2:1-2
ALL of Calvinism is straight from hell. 2 Sam. 12:23 clearly proves that all babies go to Heaven! When David and Bathsheba’s baby died, here’s what we read in 2 Samuel 12:23: “But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” David, a man of God, the very king of Israel told us here that he was going to go be with his now deceased infant son when he died and we know that is Heaven for the righteous.
Now, do you see yet one more of the many reasons why it’s clear that Satan himself is the author of this evil system of theology? Throughout the centuries, Satan has taken from the ranks of the true body of Christ, men who refused to obey God’s Word and were therefore easy prey for this delusional system of theology called Calvinism. You will never see a Calvinist who is a soul winner for this reason expressed above. They could care less. The Calvinist is smug and arrogant and self-righteous based on believing he is the special, chosen, “elect,” a special breed. He believes that God has respect of persons when His Word clearly states that “There is NO respect of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11) Actually, to obey Christ’s command to evangelize the world around us would contradict what the Calvinist’s theology teaches because no one can be saved or will be saved if God hasn’t somehow predetermined him to be. But the LORD’s apostle Paul told us that it was through “the foolishness of preaching” that God will “save them that believe.” And belief is clearly a choice God gives to every man (John 1:12; Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15, etc.).
“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” 1 Corinthians 1:21
Can we now see how that the Calvinism sees the preaching of the cross as “foolishness”:
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
Being that in his distorted mindset, he has no reason to evangelize, the Calvinist dupe simply becomes the little moral coward who is simply a good church member, obeying his cult leaders like a good little patsy and making no waves with the public like Christ and His apostle did. The Calvinist is a moral coward who likes this little ease of life and hideout because it brings no suffering or persecution or reason to die to self and lose his life in this sinful world.
— THE PERSON WHO DENIES CHRIST FOR CALVIN AND HIS CAUSTIC COHORTS, HERALDS HIS SO-CALLED “CLASSIC” DEFORMED THEOLOGIANS’ WRITINGS IN BRAZEN, OPEN, AND UTTER DENIAL OF THE ONLY CLASSIC, ONLY DIVINELY AUTHORITATIVE WRITINGS – THE HOLY SCRIPTURES! THE BIBLE ITSELF IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF TRUTH FOR ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS. THE CALVINIST TRUSTS IN MERE SINFUL MEN LIKE JOHN CALVIN AND A MYRIAD OF OTHER FALSE TEACHERS WHOSE WORKS THEY READ IN LIEU OF READING AND HEEDING GOD’S WORD.
Calvin’s Cowards
The Calvinist selectively decides, against Scripture, what “sovereignty” really looks like or means. Like a bunch of little whining pansies, if you touch the evil falsehoods of deformed theology, the dupes come out in droves to defend their “right” to have no personal responsibility. They are moral cowards who hide behind the thin, temporal veneer of this unscriptural theology of sinful men and Satan himself. It’s a doctrine of devils (1 Tim. 4:1-3). You see, that’s what this evil system of theology does – it says that God does EVERYTHING “sovereignly” and so man can do nothing and therefore is not accountable. That’s exactly what Satan told the first man and woman – “Ye shall NOT surely die” if you disobey God (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). The enemy of souls promised the first man and woman that God would not judge them if they disobeyed Him (which was a choice). But God kept His Word and kicked them out of His holy presence – they were “cut off” and had to be restored by blood and their own repentance. You are fooling no one except yourself. “They that observe lying vanities (such as Calvinism) forsake their own mercies.” (Jonah 2:8)
***John Piper, John MacArthur, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, and other Calvinist wolves are real crafty deceivers who are deceiving millions of people who refuse to know God themselves. Heresies serve a divine purpose – to separate those who truly love God and those who love self and cloak themselves with this no-personal-responsibility system of delusional theology (1 Corinthians 11:19). The tares are satisfied to follow mere sinful men and will pay eternally for refusing to be “valiant for the truth” and thereby rejecting Christ (Jeremiah 9:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). In fact, because they do not choose to fear God and love His holy truth that He gave in His Word, God Himself has helped them along by sending them “STRONG delusion.” He has done this so that they will believe the lies and ultimately be damned. God takes it personal when people don’t seek out, embrace, believe and live by HIS Word. This is all part of the great falling away we see in 2 Thessalonians 2. See 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12.
***Deformed Theology Dupes: Calvin idolaters will be crying out on their deathbed “oh John, Mr. Calvin, please save me! help John, help!”
Their cries will go unanswered because John Calvin is not only a mere sinful man, he died an unrepentant murderer of more than 60 people and as a false teacher, a heretic.
You could attack Jesus Christ Himself and they wouldn’t dare think of defending the Son of God the way they run ever so swiftly to defend their beloved evil and murderous master, a dead heretic, John Calvin. Astounding! Delusional! Idolatrous! Adulterous! Hell bound!
One writer notes:
“It is common knowledge Calvin was personally responsible for killing scores of professed Christians who disagreed with him about doctrine. Usually about infant baptism, the trinity and transubstantiation. That doesn’t include the untold numbers tortured, imprisoned and those who had all property confiscated. Google Calvin, inquisition and you will see many references. Servetus was an interesting case because Calvin promised if Servetus ever stepped foot in Geneva he would have him killed. He later tried to say the reason he was killed was due to a civil matter instead of a religious matter. What a guy!” Alex Greystone
****Calvinism is a cult no different than Mormonism and here’s one proof: In calvinism, the Holy Bible is demoted. As far as authority goes, Calvinists place God’s Word under the extra-biblical writings of mere sinful men (Calvin and all reformed theologians and pastors and writings). Like the false leaders of Christ’s day, to Mormons and Calvinists, God’s Word is not truly final authority (Mark 7:6-9; John 8:47). For the Mormons it’s the Book of Mormon that is highest authority and for the Calvinists it’s John Calvin’s and all other reformed theology writings that are finally authority. The false teachings of reformed theology/Calvinism are clearly “another gospel” and those perpetrating this system of profound heresy are “accursed.” (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9)
There is NO doubt that any person teaching OSAS (once saved always saved) and the doctrines of Calvinism has a “seducing spirit” behind this “doctrine of devils.” (1 Tim. 4:1) How is this certain? – Satan is the author of this lie which guarantees that any person teaching it is under the influence of a devil (2:17; Gen. 3:4).
One of the marks of a cult (like Calvinism) is that they place the writings of mere men on the same level or above the authority of Holy Scripture. The fact that the Calvinists put John Calvin and those who bought and propagate his myths on the same level or above the words of Scripture, clearly reveals Calvinism to be a cult. It doesn’t matter if in their blindness they see this or not, it’s still the truth. John Calvin was a murderer and a brazen heretic and to place him or any other mere sinful man on the same level of authority as the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures is a spiritual death knell.
***John Calvin’s Reign of Terror:
- He had Servetus burned at the stake on October 27, 1553,
- Gentile beheaded in 1566,
- 34 women burned at the stake after accusing them of being witches who caused a plague that had swept through Geneva in 1545,
- “Freckles” Dunant dies under torture in February 1545 without admitting to the crime of spreading the plague,
- Several men and women are apprehended including a barber and a hospital supervisor who had “made a pact with the devil” in 1545,
- 2 women executed by burning at the stake for sorcery by spreading the plague in March 7, 1545,
- Belot (an Anabaptist) chained and tortured – against infant baptism in 1545,
- 7 men executed concerning the plague outbreak in May 16, 1545,
- a child was whipped publicly for calling his mother a thief,
- a girl who struck her parents was beheaded,
- Jacques Gruet accused of writing a poster against Calvin, was arrested, tortured, then executed in July 1546,
- and the list goes on, his victims ranging in age from 16-80.
If John Calvin was Elect, then so was Hitler! 58 murders is as good as 6 million.
If you are following the teachings of Calvinism, you are following a dead, murderous heretic who was a mere sinful man. John Calvin followed the false teachings of a deranged, pagan Catholic (Augustine). You are not following Christ whatsoever if you are a Calvinist. You cannot follow Christ outside of believing and obeying “the doctrine of Christ” given in the Holy Scriptures (2 John 7-10).
The Catholic Roots of Calvinism
***CALVINISM/DEFORMED THEOLOGY IS CATHOLIC: In the 1536 edition of the Institutes of the Christian Religion, Calvin quotes Roman Catholic monk Augustine 24 times. By the 1559 edition, he quotes Augustine 400 times. Here’s just a snapshot:
•68 citations about the sacraments
•54 citations about the church
•34 citations about God’s will
•34 citations about sin
•28 citations about grace
•17 citations about predestination
One writer commented: “What the Reformers and Calvin espoused was religion, not a personal relationship with Christ. They left Catholicism but took much of it with them when they went. They established another arm of it just as the “Mormon Fundamentalists” did with “Mormonism.” They were basically a break off group of Catholics forming another branch of Catholicism.” Gwendolyn W.
The SOLE identity of His true remnant disciples is Himself – Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Savior and soon coming LORD who revealed His heart and will in His Word.
We are to be identified only with Christ and His body who gain their knowledge of God only from His written Word as taught by His Holy Spirit. We, Christ’s blood bought disciples are not even arminians … even though their doctrine is straight. We must be those who declare Christ, identity only with Him and His true followers and never move the glory from being pointed only and directly at JESUS!!!!! Col. 2
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.“ (1 Corinthians 10:21) … calvinism is completely false … all 5 points and there are evil spirits/devils behind this doctrine of devils 1 Tim. 4:1-3; 1 Cor 10:19-21
Divine foreknowledge is never mentioned by calvinist. In fact, in speaking with scores of them over the years, I never met one who is even aware of this Bible word and doctrinal truth – foreknowledge. God foreknows who will and who will not choose to serve Him and yet that in no way means He tampers with with anyone will. He sent Jesus so “ALL men” would be saved and that’s His clearly and repeatedly stated desire (1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2; John 12:32, etc.).
Those who authentically honor God do so by honoring His Word and denouncing all religious affiliations and affinities, hating them compared to their burning love for Christ (Matt. 7:6-9; Lk. 14:26-27). These are the few that He is going to save (Lk. 12:32; 21:19; 1 Pet. 4:18).
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26-27
It’s undiluted idolatry to give credence to the words of a mere man and to follow his twisted line through Scripture, denying the only final authority Teacher, the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 16:13; 1 John 2:20, 27). Spiritual adultery occurs when we alienate the affections of our hearts away from our “FIRST love” and onto ANY other person or system of theology (Revelation 2:4-5). Father, please forgive us for our sins and quicken us by Thy holy fear in repentance!
Calvinism is not the Gospel of Jesus. You are lying against the LORD to say such. You have done exactly what the Pharisees did. You have mixed and replaced God’s pure Word with a whole system of theology that is an extra-biblical system that repeatedly contradicts known biblical truth. God is calling you to repent friend before it’s too late. Mark 7:6-9.
Calvinism is not a part of the original Gospel or the apostolic Christian faith whatsoever. The very fact that Calvinists make statements like that is proof of the brainwashing they have undergone. Such a statement is fully unfounded. Those who follow this false gospel are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 3-4)
Reformed theology is a system of theology removed from Holy Scripture which the Calvinist has obviously been steeped in without getting into God’s Word for himself but rather following the line of reasoning placed, forced, or imposed upon Scripture by the wolves who have schooled them in this evil system of theology. No one in history has ever just studied the pure Word of God, been taught by the Holy Spirit, and come away with even one of the 5 points of Calvinism. It’s a system that has to be taught to others by men and devils, just like any other antichrist cult.
It’s willing ignorance in most cases. Moral cowards who want no personal responsibility gladly buy into such a fairy tale system of lies. Also, have you ever noticed the false, demonic smile on the countenance on consummate Calvinists? After all, they have much to be proud of right…they are “God’s elect” right? What a joke! God says He hates this arrogance! Proverbs 8:13
The Calvinist is ex-ing Jesus and His holy original apostles out of his false theology … Where did they go around teaching what later became crafted, contrived, and sold as “the doctrines of grace” “reformed theology” or “the 5 points of Calvinism”???? Chapters and verses please. You are simply not following the LORD but rather the doctrines of sinful men and God is calling you to repent and truly get saved. When you do, you will bring forth the fruit of repentance which will begin with trashing this fairy tale theology you have bought into.
The moral coward – the one who refuses to die to self – will fight to the death to defend his sense of false security which he vainly imagines grants him license to live as he so chooses with no eternal consequence. This is the exact lie Satan told Eve in the Garden (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). The sinner who wants to think he is unconditionally eternally secure hides behind this diabolical lie. It is a myth, a farce, and a fairytale to believe one can get genuinely born again and then keep on or fall back into sin and still be saved (Lk. 8:13). One is self-deceived if he thinks he can keep on sinning and is still saved. OSAS inevitably gives the gullible the notion that there is no reason or responsibility to repent and confess and cease his sin (Prov. 28:13; 1 Jn. 1:7-10; 2 Cor. 7:1, etc.). Jesus is coming – ready or not. He’s coming for a Bride that is without spot or blemish …. Eph. 5:25-27
“For IF (that means it’s possible) after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. ” 2 Peter 2:20-21
If a person does not truly desire, seek after, and embrace the truth of Holy Writ, God will gladly send him a “strong delusion” so that he will believe a lie and be damned (going to hell). See 2 Thess. 2:10-12.
Have you ever read and circled the 5 “I’”‘s of Lucifer? (Isaiah 12:12-14) He wanted to reign as his own god just like those who don’t want to humble themselves in true repentance and let Jesus Christ truly be LORD over their lives. “Ye are DEAD and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3) It’s time to die the death – to deny self, take up the cross (implement of death to self) and follow Christ (Lk. 9:23-24). Otherwise, we are not following Him and are on our way to eternal damnation.
After telling some eternal securist that they should immediately repent and cease teaching their diabolical lies, they said I was bringing division. But the truth is designed to and always divides the wheat from the tares. They have chosen to retain lies and are heretics according to Holy Scripture (Tit. 3:9-10). I told them they were preaching something that 1) the Bible never teaches, and 2) that the Bible repeatedly refutes. Jesus preached to many men but all left except 12 (John 6:60-67). The many who departed were divided because they were self-serving, Savior-rejecting, moral cowards who refused to simply listen and obey Jesus. The 12 were the remnant. John 6:66 says “From that time MANY of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” This clearly tells us that “disciples” or those who follow Christ, can go “back” (backslide) and no longer follow Christ. See 1 Pet. 4:18)
After reading passages like Colossians 3:5-6, which was written to God’s very people, what could possibly be clearer than that those who were once saved and who now live in sin are under God’s wrath and not His grace?
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:” Colossians 3:5-6
If being “CUT OFF” after knowing the LORD were not possible, why do we find this term and warning when the Holy Spirit is warning NT believers about going back into sin?
Romans 11:22 says: “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, IFFFFFFFFFF thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be CUT OFF.”
God is love and is good towards those who are His and continue to be willing and obedient to Him (Isa. 1:19-20). The LORD is severe in His holy wrath to those who like the Jews, once knew Him and then went back into sin. This is the context of this warning and several other warnings to NT believers. God will severely/harshly and eternally judge those who fall away after knowing Him. He will cut them off from His holy kingdom in His severe condemnation upon sin that Jesus came and died for to eliminate from those who would be His. Need more examples? Read Jude 3-12 and 1 Corinthians 9:27-10:12.
In Holy Scripture, saving faith in the blood of Christ is not conveyed as a one-time, fix all. Though saved on the spot upon believing (John 6:47), that Savior told us that those who believe and are saved, can “fall away” if they cease believing/abiding in Him (Luke 8:12-13; John 15:1-6).
If perseverance is automatic then man has no free will. Calvin’s doctrine of the perseverance of the saints is a fairy tale. Why bother with this diabolical heretic? Why learn his foolish system of theology instead of simply learning God’s Word which teaches no such thing.
Justin Martyr- c. 100/114AD – c. 162/168 AD. He was another early Christian apologist (defender) of the faith and was martyred by beheading. His works represent the earliest surviving Christian apologies of notable size:
- Man acts by his own free will and not by fate. (20)
- We have learned from the prophets, and we hold it to be true, that punishments, chastisements, and rewards are rendered according to the merit of each man’s actions. Otherwise, if all things happen by fate, then nothing is in our own power. For if it be predestined that one man be good and another man evil, then the first is not deserving of praise or the other to be blamed. Unless humans have the power of avoiding evil and choosing good by free choice, they are not accountable for their actions-whatever they may be…. For neither would a man be worthy of reward or praise if he did not of himself choose the good, but was merely created for that end. Likewise, if a man were evil, he would not deserve punishment, since he was not evil of himself, being unable to do anything else than what he was made for.(21)
- But that you may not have a pretext for saying that Christ must have been crucified, and that those who transgressed must have been among your nation, and that the matter could not have been otherwise, I said briefly by anticipation, that God, wishing men and angels to follow His will, resolved to create them free to do righteousness; possessing reason, that they may know by whom they are created, and through whom they, not existing formerly, do now exist; and with a law that they should be judged by Him, if they do anything contrary to right reason: and of ourselves we, men and angels, shall be convicted of having acted sinfully, unless we repent beforehand. But if the word of God foretells that some angels and men shall be certainly punished, it did so because it foreknew that they would be unchangeably [wicked], but not because God had created them so.
Of those truly saved, perseverance is not automatic but rather a daily choice. If along the way, the born again believer denies Christ, He will be denied by Christ.
“If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.” 2 Timothy 2:12
No person in history who has been saved and then honestly began to study Holy Scripture has ever come out with the conclusions of Calvinism. It’s simply not there. The mind has to be led, conditioned, seduced, and made to believe such things as the terribly twisted TULIP of John Calvin teaches. To believe such things is to defy the LORD who bled for “ALL men,” gave us choice, and is “holy, holy, holy.” (Isa. 6:3; 1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9; 1 Jn. 2:2). Then after one has been conditioned in his thinking to believe Calvin’s falsehoods, he is led to see things through the twisted mindset of Reformed theology and so he then imposes that belief system on Scripture, making God out to be a liar. This whole system teaches men how not to take God at His Word, especially the whole counsel of His Word.
The Calvinist is the moral coward who seeks to console himself while living in sin. He hides behind the teachings of a mere man, a man who was a heretic and a murderer. Sounds like Joseph Smith to me. The Calvinist does this by twisting Scripture to concoct the image of a false god who gives him assurance and security while he lives in rebellion. Now that my friend, is idolatry and spiritual adultery (Exod. 20:3-5; Eph. 5:5-7).
Anyone who believes in the myths perpetrated by reformed theology and “once saved always saved” is not a person of truth. Truth-seekers who fear God diligently search the whole of the Scriptures before drawing conclusion (Prov. 13:18). The do not rely or place the weight of their faith in mere men but instead allow God to “be true and every man a liar.” (Rom. 3:4) Such a teaching as an unconditional eternal security is nowhere to be found in God’s Word. In fact, there are volumes of warnings in God’s Word which negate the possibility of such a cliché being true.
The term “CUT OFF” in Romans 11:22 drives a death nail into the coffin of the diabolical heresy of an UN-conditional eternal security – propagated by the “ungodly men” Jude warned us about (Jude 3-4).
TO HIS OWN PEOPLE THE LORD SAYS: “IF IF IF we suffer, we shall also reign with him: IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.” 2 Timothy 2:12
The utter idiocy of Calvinism cannot be underestimated. Such evil and foolish logic, twisting of Scripture, and willing ignorance of its duped adherents is mind boggling. There are many examples that could be stated but let’s look at just one illustration from John Wesley of the image of a false god conveyed through the doctrines of Calvinism: “One might say to our adversary, the devil, ‘Thou fool, why dost thou roar about any longer? Thy lying in wait for souls is as needless and useless as our preaching. Hearest thou not, that God hath taken thy work out of thy hands; and that he doeth it much more effectually? Thou, with all thy principalities and powers, canst only so assault that we may resist thee; but He can irresistibly destroy both body and soul in hell! Thou canst only entice; but his unchangeable decrees, to leave thousands of souls in death, compels them to continue in sin, till they drop into everlasting burnings. Thou temptest; He forceth us to be damned; for we cannot resist his will. Thou fool, why goest thou about any longer, seeking whom thou mayest devour? Hearest thou not that God is the devouring lion, the destroyer of souls, the murderer of men” Moloch caused only children to pass though the fire: and that fire was soon quenched; or, the corruptible body being consumed, its torment was at an end; but God, thou are told, by his eternal decree, fixed before they had done good or evil, causes, not only children of a span long, but the parents also, to pass through the fire of hell, the ‘fire which never shall be quenched; and the body which is cast thereinto, being now incorruptible and immortal, will be ever consuming and never consumed, but ‘the smoke of their torment,’ because it is God’s good pleasure, ‘ascendeth up for ever and ever.’” [From the sermon Free Grace, Preached at Bristol, in the year 1740]
THE DOCTRINES OF CALVINISM TURN “GOD” INTO THE DEVIL. VIOLATING THE THIRD COMMANDMENT BY USING THE VERY NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN, CALVINISTS ATTRIBUTE TO THE ALMIGHTY THE ATTRIBUTES HE TOLD US ARE OF SATAN HIMSELF. THIS CRUEL, FORCEFUL, CUNNING, BIASED, RESPECTER OF PERSONS, PARTIAL, IMMORAL, FALSE GOD OF CALVINISM IS A DEMON AND NOT GOD AT ALL.
Studying with honest heart the truths of Holy Scripture thoroughly dismantles this evil, mind-twisting, Christ-despising system of theology. Here’s a brief historical sketch of the murderous dealings of this 16th century maniac who is followed by many an idolater today who vainly believe they are saved.

The “T” of the Terrible Truth-Despising TULIP
The TULIP is the acronym that was crafted to explain the doctrines of Reformed Theology/Calvinism. Each letter stands for one of the five foundational doctrinal beliefs upon which Calvinism stands. Calvinistic adherents believe and espouse these doctrines. All five phony, pathetic points of this unbiblical system of theology are interrelated. This means that each one stands or falls on the validity of the other points. The very first point of the five points of Calvinism is ”Total Depravity” which is defined in Calvinism as the total inability of sinful men to respond in obedience to God when He calls them. In other words, they teach that men cannot obey or do what God told them to do because they have no will. Now, at this point, if you are a sane person, stop laughing and keep reading. 😉 Contrary to the devilish doctrine of “Total Depravity,” man is not so sinful by nature that he cannot make a decision/choose. It’s called inability, where reformed demonology teaches that man cannot obey what God commanded him to do, which is an indictment upon the Almighty. The truth-seeker need go no further than this very first of the five points of Calvinism to see that this whole system of theology is false. Clearly, the false god of Calvinism is not the one true God presented in Holy Scripture.
Free will involves the ability to choose life or death (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:16; Romans 6:16, etc.). It seems more than obvious that if the person deceived by the false teachings of Reformed Theology hadn’t been poisoned by Calvinistic teachers, that person would never ask questions concerning whether or not man has free will. It’s obvious and self-evident that man has been given free will. Any small child knows that – it takes a brainwashing to be convinced otherwise. If man had no choice to exercise the will God gave him, then why would the LORD tell man to “choose”? Dare we call God a fool? “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” (Deuteronomy 30:19)
CALVINISM WARNING: “ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 4
The so-called “doctrines of grace” are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” or a license for sinning in the hearts of those who trade the truth for this lie (Jude 3-4). Jude tells us that such must be earnestly contended against and exposed for what it is. When the Calvinist is told that he has nothing – not one iota of involvement – in appropriating and remaining in the salvation of Christ, he loses all fear of God and is inevitably not going to be vigilant, watching for the soon return of Christ, or being holy as Christ is holy. “Lasciviousness” is a sin and is the obvious outcome of the teachings of Calvinism which produce just the opposite of the fear of the LORD and obedience to Christ which is what Scripture teaches.
John Piper: Satanic High Priest of
Indoctrination and Initiation
into the Cult of Calvin
WOLF WARNING: Beware of the many teachers of Calvinism/Reformed Theology in this late hour. These are the very wolves the Word of God specifically prophesied would be on the scene in the last hour “turning the grace of God into lasciviousness” with their perverted “doctrines of grace” as they call it (Jude 3-4). Most popular, limelight authors and radio personalities teach this evil system of theology which depicts the image of a false god. For example: John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Charles Swindoll, Paul Washer, James White, Albert Mohler, Kevin DeYoung, Ligon Duncan, Mark Driscoll, J.I. Packer (James Innell Packer), Wayne Grudem, C. J. Mahaney, Matt Chandler, Justin Taylor, John MacArthur, John Calvin, and Alistair Begg, to name but a few.
Wolves in sheep’s clothing like John MacArthur, Vodie Baucham, and Paul Washer, etc. preach repentance and yet these frauds are all calvinists and so they believe that no one can make the free will choice to obey Jesus’ command to repent. To call this convoluted delusionment would be an understatement. Run from these calvinist warlocks! | Calvinism is Heresy
Matt Chandler’s Diabolical Conversion to Calvinism
In the video below, Matt Chandler openly admits to being converted over to all five false points of Calvinism. First off, this is a staged, intentionally created video to sell others on the “virtues” of the diabolical system of lies known as “Calvinism.” In short, it is a sales job and nothing more and it’s not one that is selling people on the Word of truth found on the pages of Holy Scripture but rather it’s an indoctrination of a system of theology that contradicts and twists Holy Scripture to the destruction of those who buy into it (2 Peter 3:16). You will witness firsthand the diabolical workings of John Piper, master Calvinism initiator, high priest of this craft of Calvinism, as he demonstrates his success in sucking yet another younger pastor into the cult of Calvinism. His opening question to Matt Chandler is “How did Calvinism come about?” In other words, “How did you come to believe in the doctrines of Calvin?” Not “How did you come to believe in the doctrines of Holy Scripture?” but rather “How did you come to trust the doctrines of Calvinism?”
Chandler readily admits that “There are texts which I never knew what to do with.” And that’s where the Calvin worship cultists come in to convert people’s minds over using partial truths and mere portions of Scripture to the exclusion of the whole context and full-counsel of God’s Word. For example, they major on Romans 9 while intentionally ignoring Romans 11:20-22 which is part of the same passage.
Matt Chandler is the pastor of The Village Church located in Highland Village, Texas (in the Dallas area). Below is a video of Matt Chandler being interviewed by false teacher John Piper who is a 5-point Calvinist. In this video we see firsthand Matt Chandler’s apostasy into the dark doctrines of Calvinism. Also, see commentary beneath the video. As you view this video, note that there is little mention of Scripture. Instead, Chandler’s “warm blanket” is based on touchy, feely, subjective elements no different than Mormonism and how they determine “truth” by the warm feeling in their bosom. Amazing apostasy! So, Matt Chandler came to believe and espouse Calvinism based on something other than Holy Writ. While he mentions “Romans 9,” he refused to mention another integral part of that same passage, which would be Romans 11:20-22. Romans 11:20-22 clearly reveals something that in and of itself explodes the lies of Calvinism – the fact that covenant people of God were “cut off” from Him and that we can also be “cut off.” It’s no less than a divine threat and promise to all who currently know Him.
CHANDLER AND PIPER, TWO BRAZEN DECEIVERS, CLEARLY WANT THOSE LISTENING TO BUY INTO THEIR CALVINISM, BASED ON THEIR SUBJECTIVE, TOUCHY-FEELY, PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND NOT ON SCRIPTURE!
It’s obvious from this video interview that John Piper is a high priest of Satan’s Calvinism. It’s clear that John Piper had been coaxing the younger Matt Chandler to buy into this Calvinism package. Matt Chandler makes it clear that he had to be converted over to Calvinism and he was by John Piper.
In the video, Matt says something that many have also stated. Chandler says that coming to a full belief in Calvinism was “a wrestle” to him. In other words, he had to wrestle with believing it. Why? It’s simple – so many truths contradict this system of lies called Calvinism or Reformed Theology. The diligent, Berean Bible student will see right through this deceitful attempt to subvert the truth (Acts 15:24; 17:11; Titus 1:11; 3:11).
Watch Matt Chandler’s mannerisms and how he is acting. He’s clearly just trying to please his elder, Piper.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (put to the test) the spirits whether they are of God: because MANY false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
Folks, just because someone can seems convinced or convicted about something, does NOT make that something true. Isn’t it time we begin to obey God’s command to “Believe NOT every spirit” and to “try” which means to test the spirits? That’s what the “noble” disciples at Berea did and God commended them for it. When they heard even the apostle Paul preach, they tested what he said against the written Word.
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:11
In this video, Chandler stumbles over his words. He uses the signature add-ins like “I think” and………. But Matt, who cares what YOU believe or think? What did God say in His Word? Has He not spoken? Yes He sure has – “I have talked to you from heaven.” (Exodus 20:22) Matt Chandler is not simply giving literal Scripture and letting Scripture teach those who would listen to him but rather he wants them to buy into some system of theology because he is now coming out of the closet as having espoused it. In fact, Chandler readily admits to not coming straight out in the open about telling his audience at The Village Church that he is teaching Calvinism. But what is there to hide Matt Chandler? Didn’t God boldly give us His truth, the light of His blessed Word? What darkness is Matt Chandler hiding? What is he afraid of? Is Matt afraid that he will lose church members since there is so much expose’ on the doctrines of John Calvin?
DID YOU NOTE THAT CHANDLER GIVES US THE ALL-TOO-TYPICAL SIGNATURE STATEMENT OF DECEIVED CALVINISTS WHO TEACH THAT THE GOSPEL AND CALVINISM ARE ONE AND THE SAME? CONCERNING CALVINISM, CHANDLER SAYS “IT’S WHAT OUR FAITH IS.” IF SUCH WERE TRUE, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT GOD DIDN’T GET IT RIGHT UNTIL MURDEROUS HERETIC JOHN CALVIN CAME ALONG SOME 16 CENTURIES AFTER JESUS AND HIS HOLY APOSTLES WERE HERE AND GAVE US “THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS” IN THE NEW TESTAMENT CANON OF SCRIPTURE (JUDE 3-4). SO, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT ALL MEN WERE STILL IN DARKNESS, EVEN AFTER JESUS, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD CAME. SUCH A CONCLUSION WOULD MEAN THAT GOD DIDN’T GIVE US HIS TRUE GOSPEL THROUGH MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN, AND PAUL, BUT RATHER THROUGH JOHN CALVIN WHO DERIVED HIS TEACHINGS THROUGH A DELUSIONAL CATHOLIC PRIEST’S WRITINGS (AUGUSTINE) AND MADE A SYSTEM OF THEOLOGY OUT OF THEM WHICH WE NOW KNOW AS CALVINISM.
Matt Chandler comes out and admits that his people “got over the hump” and now have bought the Calvinism package. What “hump”? The hump of truth is what people have to jump over to believe such things as are taught in Calvinism! In other words, you have to jump over mountains of Bible truth to believe such an evil indictment against our LORD God which is what Calvinism is.
Matt Chandler is very seductive and subversive in his use of Proverbs 14:12. He uses this Bible verse to teach that NOT believing Calvinism is “a way which seemeth right” but will lead to “death.” Wow! Do you now begin to see just how delusional Calvinists are in seeking to marry that system of diabolical lies with the true Gospel? The Bible tells us that those who do not receive “the love of the truth” are turned over to be deceived. The person who buys the Scripture-violating teachings of Calvinism has hated the LORD and His truth and has been sent by Him “strong delusion” so that he would believe this system of lies (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). Satan himself and damnation are also mentioned in this passage (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
It’s obvious that John Piper and Matt Chandler are so very arrogant that they are convinced that their audience should take THEIR word for it and simply buy into Calvinism. After all, they did. But who are Piper and Chandler but mere men, dust, and in their very best state, “altogether vanity.” (Psalms 39:4-5)
“Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” Romans 3:4
Only a wolf would seek to lead people to believe something based on the idea that they (the wolves) have believed that something. The true servant of Christ simply preaches the pure Word of God and lets the hearer believe upon the LORD Himself by His Word and Holy Spirit.
“Wrestled, wrestled, wrestled, wrestled, just wrestled, once those lenses get put on you, you can’t read your Bible.” But just WHO put those lenses on Chandler if those colored glasses are colored with that which does not align with Holy Scripture? The only answer would be Satan who is the father of all lies .. The Bible teaches us that “seducing spirits (devils) and doctrines of devils“ go hand in hand (1 Timothy 4:1)
…in this video of Matt Chandler’s apostasy into Calvinism, he speak of the “lens” or colored glasses that get put on someone who is seduced by the evil devils that coax their truth-rejecting souls into believing in the “doctrines of devils” such as Calvinism (1 Timothy 4:1-3). Note how he presents this as a conversion over into this whole system of belief known as Calvinism. It’s a demonic conversion for sure.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits (devils), and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Did you know that the devil has “doctrines”? Here in the above passage of Holy Scripture, the apostle Paul reveals the connection between “Seducing spirits” and “doctrines of devils.” What could possibly be clearer than the fact that there are “doctrines of devils” and people are brought into believing them by “seducing spirits” or devils? In this video interview we see Matt Chandler’s declination into the dismal, dark doctrines of John Calvin, a known murderous heretic.
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4
If you understand Calvinism, you understand that it leads to futility. Why? Because when a person is seduced by devils to believe that he has NOTHING at all to do with participation in being saved, that person then tosses responsibility to the wind, does not fear and obey God. Satan loves this masterpiece he created, beginning in the Garden of creation. Get the book Lie of the Ages to delve into the origins of Calvinism and OSAS (once saved always saved) theology.
NO TRUE BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIAN IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS A “CALVINIST” NOR FOLLOWS ANYTHING BUT THE PURE WORD OF GOD. THIS MEANS HE SEES CALVINISM FOR THE FILTHY, DIABOLICAL SYSTEM OF LIES THAT IT REALLY IS.
What is the difference between those who follow Joseph Smith (delusional founder of Mormonism) and those who follow John Calvin? – Nothing! They are both following the teachings of mere sinful men in lieu of God’s Word and are therefore hell bound antichrists.
Only a demon and a depraved, apostate heart could do such a thing!
“‘Do not say you are of Paul or Apollos.’ (1 Cor. 1) To call ourselves a ‘Calvinist’ is to place Calvin above Christ. ‘Calvinism’ is a cult, whenever we follow a man above Christ we have a cult.” Gwendolyn Wehage
The Calvinist ex-es Jesus and His holy original apostles out of his false theology. At any cost, everything must bow to the so-called “doctrines of grace” and “Five points of Calvinism.” The very Word of God MUST be ignored, spit upon, twisted, defied, and crassly passed over in order to keep the tradition of Calvinism. This is that cultic “spirit of antichrist” working in those who have given themselves over to this system of lies. ….. Where did they go around teaching what later become crafted, contrived, and sold as “the doctrines of grace” “Reformed theology” or “the 5 points of Calvinism”???? Chapters and verses please. You are simply not following the LORD but rather the doctrines of sinful men and God is calling you to repent and truly get saved. When you do, you will bring forth the fruit of repentance which will begin with trashing this fairytale theology you have bought into.
Calvinism does not instill the fear of God in anyone which should be a huge red flag. Without the fear of the LORD, no one can know Jesus and remain in Christ. Also, it’s obvious that Reformed theology actually promotes ease and lukewarmness (Rev. 3:15-16).
Not even one of the five points of Calvinism comes from Scripture. In fact, each one of them is the opposite of what Holy Scripture teaches. Calvinism is a mockery of Christ and His blessed Gospel.
Mormonism and Calvinism are very similar ….. Calvinism is a cult where all of the adherents are taught a whole system of lies. They are taught “reasons” why God didn’t really mean what He said. The whole aim of Calvinism is to twist, corrupt, and pervert the LORD’s words. In the face of Bible passage after Bible verse, the Calvinist, like the well-trained cultist he is, has preposterous “reasons” why God didn’t mean what He plainly said in His Word. Now friends, that is the work of the enemy of the Almighty. Just as he did in the Garden with the first woman, so he does today, adding to, taking away, and twisting divine truth.
Quotes of John Calvin … draw your own conclusions.
“Of the eternal election, by which God has predestinated some to salvation, and others to destruction … The predestination by which God adopts some to the hope of life, and adjudges others to eternal death, no man who would be thought pious ventures simply to deny…By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he determined with himself whatever he wished to happen with regard to every man. All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestinated to life or to death. (Calvin Institutes 3:21:5: 06 emphasis mine)
“Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 3)
“…the counsels and wills of … See Moremen are so governed as to move exactly in the course which he has destined.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 8)
“thieves and murderers, and other evildoers, are instruments of divine providence, being employed by the Lord himself to execute judgments which he has resolved to inflict.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 17, Paragraph 5)
“The first man fell because the Lord deemed it meet that he should.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 8).
“Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 3)…
“that God not only foresaw the fall of the first man, and in him the ruin of his posterity; but also at his own pleasure arranged it” John Calvin (Institutes of the Christian Religion” Book III, Chapter 23, Paragraph 7)
“I freely acknowledge my doctrine to be this: that Adam fell, not only by the permission of God, but by His very secret council and decree; and that Adam drew all his posterity with himself, by his fall, into eternal damnation” (Secret Providence, pg. 267.) -John Calvin
“At this point in particular the flesh rages when it hears that the predestination to death of those who perish is referred to the will of God.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Romans and Thessalonians, p.208)
“It could be asked here, if God does not want any to perish, why do so many in fact perish? My reply is that no mention is made here of the secret decree of God by which the wicked are doomed to their own ruin, but only of His loving-kindness as it is made known to us in the Gospel. There God stretches out His hand to all alike, but He only grasps those (in such a way as to lead to Himself) whom He has chosen before the foundation of the world.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Hebrews and I and II Peter, p.364)
“We also note that we should consider the creation of the world so that we may realize that everything is subject to God and ruled by his will and that when the world has done what it may, nothing happens other than what God decrees.” -John Calvin (Acts: Calvin, The Crossway Classic Commentaries, p.66)
“First, the eternal predestination of God, by which before the fall of Adam He decreed what should take place concerning the whole human race and every individual, was fixed and determined.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.121)
“God had no doubt decreed before the foundation of the world what … He would do … with every one of us and had assigned to everyone by His secret counsel his part in life.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians, p.20)
“…the reason why God elects some and rejects others is to be found in His purpose alone. … before men are born their lot is assigned to each of them by the secret will of God. … the salvation or the destruction of men depends on His free election.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Romans and Thessalonians, p.203)
“Everything is controlled by God’s secret purpose, and nothing can happen except by his knowledge and will.” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Bk. 1, Ch. 16, Sect. 3)
“What we must prove is that single events are ordered by God and that every event comes from his intended will. Nothing happens by chance.” – John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch. 16, Sect. 4)
“When he uses the term permission, he means that the will of God is the supreme and primary cause of everything, because nothing happens without his order of permission.” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch. 16, Sect. 8)
“He has plenty of reasons for comfort as he realises that the devil and all the ungodly are reined in by God, so that they cannot conceive, plan or carry out any crime, unless God allows it, indeed commands it. They are not only in bondage to him, but are forced to serve him. It is the Lord’s prerogative to enable the enemy’s rage and to control it at will, and it is in his power to decide how far and how long it may last, so that wicked men cannot break free and do exactly what they want….” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch.17, Sect. 10)
“First, it must be observed that the will of God is the cause of all things that happen in the world; and yet God is not the author of evil.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.169)
“Whatever things are done wrongly and unjustly by man, these very things are the right and just works of God. This may seem paradoxical at first sight to some….” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.169)
“But where it is a matter of men’s counsels, wills, endeavours, and exertions, there is greater difficulty in seeing how the providence of God rules here too, so that nothing happens but by His assent and that men can deliberately do nothing unless He inspire it.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, pp.171-172)
“Does God work in the hearts of men, directing their plans and moving their wills this way and that, so that they do nothing but what He has ordained?” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.174)
“For the man who honestly and soberly reflects on these things, there can be no doubt that the will of God is the chief and principal cause of all things.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.177)
“But of all the things which happen, the first cause is to be understood to be His will, because He so governs the natures created by Him, as to determine all the counsels and the actions of men to the end decreed by Him.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.178)
“But it is quite frivolous refuge to say that God otiosely permits them, when Scripture shows Him not only willing but the author of them.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.176,)

“I didn’t know Calvinists believed that. I remember when I was first saved and I was reading the bible continually- then some started sharing Calvinist teachings and I “knew” they were wrong because the Bible didn’t say what they were preaching. Throughout the years I’ve heard some share these falsities and I knew they were wrong – when we know our bibles and believe what it says we won’t be deceived.” Sherry J.
“Humm. Wow!! It truly is hard for me to keep silent when I see heresy. I just have to say something.It is very seducing to believe that it is all God’s fault not our own.Thank you Jesus for continually showing me the truth. I almost bought into this lie. I do say almost. Thank you Jesus for protecting me. NO, GOD IS NOT A LIAR!! When He said ALL He means ALL!!! Everyone has been, is getting and will get a chance to repent….” CJ
“John Calvin is in the same boat as many theologians, from Luther to Smith to MacArthur. I mean, when you reject any of the scripture or explain it away with private interpretations, you are really taking the authority away from God and claiming it as your own. One says repentance is not necessary one says only faith, another says baptism is nothing and many say all you have to do is believe. Let God be right and every man a liar.” Clint Stone
“The Calvinist dogma of TULIP is 1 of implicating God in sin. According to them man doesn’t make his own choices, God makes our choices for us. This would include the sinner…
God is holy. he is absolved of all evil in the world, and has nothing to do with sin, directly or vicariously through us.
It is because of our free will the evil happens and God is absolved from it, because it is our choice not his.
Calvinism is a threat. Ultimately, this false theology would have you believe that God is a God who is playing chess with Himself, deciding who He loves best out of all His equally sinful chess pieces, like a kid playing favorites.” Marion Mills

“This is a picture of the “hypercalvinist.” An enormous difference from true Reformed Calvinistic theology (which is what all of church history has taught). If these guys are going to speak out against this in a delusional stereotypical way then they should stop setting up straw men to burn down. Are there hypercalvinists? Yep…but not to the degree these with false Arminian theology make a claim for.”
Reply:
Shawn, “all of church history” did not teach the falsehoods of de-formed theology … in fact, what of the truth of the 27 books of God’s NT Word needed to be RE-formed or formed again? That’s an indictment against the Almighty who told us that “ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness” are found in His Word – in other words, it’s complete (2 Peter 1:3-4, 19-21).
No type of Calvinism is biblical…. that’s like saying that “white magic” is okay… when in reality it’s more insidiously diabolical because it poses as being innocent when it’s laced with deadly lies.
Shawn, I am not an Arminian, just a Bible believer. This one verse alone cancels all possibility that Calvinism could be truth: “There is NO NO NO respect of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11) – Now, you must choose to deny Christ by rejecting His truth or to repent and believe the original Gospel which strongly opposes the Augustinian falsehoods of Calvinism and exposes them as being false.

“Hi! Thank you so much for writing the article you did about The Idiocy of Calvinism. I read more than half of it to my family last night and we had a wonderful time in study, prayer, and discovery. It opened my eyes very much, as I previously didn’t understand what exactly was wrong with the evil TULIP conception. Thank you very much for writing this article and I hope that it helps others as well. God Bless you brother!” Abigail S.

“I was greatly blessed and brought to a renewed repentance by reading the article on the false teaching that promotes self love but am flabbergasted by the attempt to refute Calvinism, an imperfect system at best, using the verse about God not being a respecter of persons! Whoever wrote that article is under strong delusion as to the meaning of this scripture. It clearly means that God’s choosing of one person over another is not based upon any supposed qualities God sees in the person themselves but in God’s own inscrutable will. It is a mystery to all who trust in the Savior why they should have been chosen and others passed over. It crucifies human pride and gives all the glory to God! I sincerely pray that your thoughts would be conformed to those of Christ in this vital matter. Let’s all seek to let every word of God’s revelation have its full impact, even when it challenges our presuppositions and systems. Respectfully,” Alan

The Greek word which was correctly translated as “ALL” in English in the Bible, means …“ALL.” So God wills that some perish? 2 Peter 3:9 No He wishes none to perish! That’s why He gave His only begotten Son for the “whole world.” (1 John 2:2; John 3:16, etc.)
It’s a “mystery”?
How is this divine revelation a “mystery” other than if a demon has blinded our minds because we chose to buy into a false theology?
“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.” 2 Peter 3:9
DID JESUS TELL US HE WAS GOING TO GO TO THE CROSS AND DRAW SOME OR ALL MEN? – “And I, if I be lifted up (on the cross) from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.” John 12:32-33
So Jesus died for “all men” and yet didn’t intend to save “all men”? John 12:32
“Therefore as by the offence of one JUDGMENT CAME UPON ALL MEN to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one THE FREE GIFT CAME UPON ALL MEN unto justification of life.” Romans 5:18
The doctrines of Calvinism clearly and brazenly call the very Son of God a liar. Before going to the cross to die for “the sins of the WHOLE world,” Jesus said: “And I, if I be lifted up (on the cross) from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.” (John 12:32-33)
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to ALL (not some) men.” Titus 2:11
“Well sir, I’d say in true humility, that this word is an atomic bomb that blasts this doctrine into dust and leaves nothing but any who would still side with Calvinism are left standing without weapons in a thick fog of smoke… Amen!” Tim Smith

Alex Greystone writes:
“Calvinists use an extremely poor and outright false bit of exegesis. The primary meaning of elko (Greek word for “draw”) is draw and in the context of John 6:44 and John 12:32 it means “to draw mentally and morally” according to Moulton’s Analytical Greek lexicon. Notice the poor logic and doctrinally driven hermeneutic: according to the Calvinist ALL men are dragged– but of course (somehow) they are not all saved!!! And then amusingly you try to rub this in the face of Arminians as some sort of proof text for irresistible grace!!!! Great example of Reformed exegesis! WOW! :)”
“Brother Todd! Thanks for exposing the “another gospel/another Jesus” heresy of Calvinism. I’m sure you’ve come under fire down through the years, but GREATER is He that is in you than he that is in the world…I’m on the front lines with ya! God bless!” ~Eric N.

“Wait, hold up. He didn’t create sin. What Bible said that? Isaiah 45:7 says God creates evil.”
Reply:
God only creates evil if you will in the sense that HE allows all to choose good or evil, darkness or light (John 3:19-21).
Typically, calvinists purposely refuse to look at the full counsel of God’s Word and hyper interpret, over emphasize, go to seed on 1 verse here and there, while ignoring the whole counsel of Scripture, as they are hell bent on promulgating certain heretical misinterpretations.
See Deut. 30:19; Josh. 24:15; James 1:13-15…..
In what way does God Create Evil? What does this mean? Well, as in all cases, the whole of Holy Scripture must be used to interpret the rest of it. Isaiah 45:7 Examined
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Isaiah 45:7
The cultist of calvinism are quick to use this verse to “confirm” their heresy that God ordains and desire some for destruction. The fact that God gave man free will does not mean that when evil happens that God ordained it. Only a calvinist heretic could conclude such. Like any cult, they ignore volumes of Scripture to conclude their delusions. Here’s an example of a passage they pay no attention to:
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15
At the core, the calvinist is a moral coward who doesn’t want to believe God has given men free will because the calvinist simply doesn’t and will not truly repent and obey God. In his fairy tale delusion, the calvinist blames, indicts the Almighty for the most heinous of crimes, sins. He has created a god in his own sinful image. The calvinist ignores the above passage which plainly reveals that when their is sin, it’s man freely choosing to do that sinning, not God who is “Holy, holy, holy” and tempts no man to sin (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8).
“God cannot be tempted with” evil (James 1:13) and yet God created evil in the sense that He gave the angels and mankind the choice to serve or rebel against Him (Isaiah 45:7).
Notice that Isaiah 45:7 uses the word “evil” and not sin. Sin came about by Satan and man, not God. “Evil” refers to the ability God allows men to commit, hence “the tree of the knowledge of good AND evil.” (Genesis 2:17) God didn’t create sin, He created evil or the ability for men to choose evil over good. The LORD made it possible for man to disobey Him, to sin.
The Testimony of Adam H. who was Delivered from Calvinism:
“I do not believe in the Calvinist doctrine of total depravity. I see unsaved people performing righteous deeds. I see souls coming to Christ because they were convinced of the truth and CHOSE to believe. I see God, in both the Old and New Testaments, offer mankind choices and I see men making choices. I see the word “IF” used a lot in conjunction with declared judgment.
Having said all of that, I DO see original sin. If anyone would like to discuss that, I would like to show you what I see in the Bible. I AM open to being wrong, as long as you hold yourself up to the same standard of evidence you ask of me. That and intellectual honesty is a must. By the way, I hate Calvin’s evil doctrine. I was a Calvinist, until I read the Bible without his filter on my eyes! Thanks.”
Of Calvinism, one commentator notes:
“A Calvinist is like Grover Dill from A Christmas Story. He’s the Elect, he’s on the side of his bully “god” and looks on with sadistic glee while this “god” exercises his ineffable will on the masses of the reprobate. If you dare ask the Calvinist “why?” he will stick his nose high in the air (such is the innate righteousness of the Elect) and tell you simply that “God’s in charge!” and that “It’s wickedness to ask why!” You can’t win with a Calvinist. There’s a good reason why England threw the Puritans OUT; they were a cancerous tumor on the body politic.”

Apostasy
Church History or the Scriptures? [podcast]

Regrettably, “reformed” counterfeits are more interested in the writings of their calvinistic wolves than in reading and studying the Bible itself – reading, studying Jesus, His apostles and prophets.
Unless you have the whole Bible memorized, and have a working knowledge of all the doctrines of the original Gospel, why would you be wasting your time reading something God never said He inspired, such as church history?
IF you are reading more “reformation” and church history literature than the Bible, you will inevitably be deceived for not choosing to have a love for the truth of God – which was given you in HIS Word (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). Study God’s Word itself beloved. That’s exactly what the LORD instructs you to do (2 Timothy 2:15).
We must go back further than the “reformation.” Nothing needed to be RE-formed…. because we have a Bible which is the final divine authority (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). Many of the “reformers” were absolute heretics such as the demon possessed murderous maniac, John Calvin.Beware of those who without saying it outright, place church history on the same level as the Holy Scriptures. Such men are false (Matthew 23).
We get our view, perspective, knowledge, and understanding of God via His own Word. Everything else is secondary, every extra-biblical source, is unnecessary, and can be a diversion. Beware saints. Many today have a skewed understanding of Scripture because instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to teach them His pure truth through the study of His Word, they’ve researched and studied what mere men have stated about the Bible. This they did instead of studying God’s Word for themselves as the LORD instructs us to do (2 Timothy 2:15).
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:19-21
Personally, I waste no time on early church fathers or church history. They weren’t ordained, sanctioned by God exclusively to pen the words of Holy Writ, the Bible, which is God’s Word and the highest divine authority (2 Peter 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). What’s it matter if you know what they said? The LORD didn’t ordain them to communicate His truth to the world. This does nothing but create confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). Many would rather listen to what mere men had to say about God and the Bible than to learn for themselves what God said in His own Word. The LORD has always instructed His people to study and learn and attend to HIS words (Deuteronomy 4, 6, 11, Isaiah 34:16, etc.).
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
God’s Word is “Settled in Heaven” forever!
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms 119:89
Church history doesn’t matter at all and is littered with false teachers. It has no divine authentication or standing in Heaven and is the very reason so many are misled today. WHO told you to study church history or that church history was important? Not the LORD. No Scriptures could affirm such a position. Jesus told us the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth and that His “word is truth,” not church history (John 16:13-14; 17:17). Church history is not divinely inspired, Holy Scripture is and it alone is “profitable for doctrine, correction, reproof, and instruction in righteousness,” not church history (2 Timothy 3:15-17). No one could ever possibly know the Holy Scriptures well enough so why waste time studying mere men who were never sanctioned by God to be our examples or teach His sound doctrine?
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31
ANYONE LEADING YOU TO STUDY CHURCH HISTORY INSTEAD OF THE BIBLE ITSELF, IS A VILE DEMONIC WOLF. BEWARE.
Jesus and His holy apostles made it clear that only the Word of God can wash and sanctify (set apart) the disciple to the LORD – and nothing else.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17
“Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27
When you hear someone promoting the study of church history, you can be sure he’s either been: 1) to seminary, or 2) influenced by seminarians.
The reformers were mere men. They were not included in the “holy men of God who spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” as were those who were divinely inspired to pen the words of Scripture (2 Peter 1:19-21). WHY waste your time on church history? We must go back to the LORD and His prophets and apostles just as did the Bereans who tested Paul and his doctrine strictly against the written Word (Acts 17:10-11). Otherwise we will err in our doctrine. Reformed groups are famous for misdirecting people from Scripture onto their heroes of the faith, none of which were sanctioned by God or ordained to record Holy Writ. They mislead people into studying men in history who were known devils. One example of this course, this atrocious deception, is that they herald diabolical, heretical wolves like John Calvin.
ALL of God’s answers are here – in His written Word – not in the study of church history (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 19-21).
Personally, I stay away from the “revivalist” and church history and stick with the Scriptures which are pure (Proverbs 30:5-6).
The LORD has called us to be His humble disciples (Micah 6:8; Matthew 5:3; 10:16; 20:20-28; 23:8-12, etc.). Do we see the call for a “revivalist” in the Word? Evangelist yes (Acts 21:8; Ephesians 4:11). I say this because of some aspiring to become “revivalists” due to reading church history. Sobeit. Yet isn’t it safest to walk humbly before our LORD, reaching one precious saint or soul at a time? Isn’t that a better, more biblical aspiration? (Micah 6:8)
At least some of those many refer to as a “revivalist” taught heresy, such as Charles Finney.
When a preacher has to always be yelling, does that raise a red flag? What’s HE hiding? Is the anointing in the volume?
Reformed groups are famous for misdirecting people from Scripture onto their heroes of the faith, none of which were sanctioned by God or recorded in Holy Writ. As if drawing people away from God’s Word to study un-inspired church history wasn’t enough, they mislead people into studying men in history who were known devils. One example of this course, this atrocious deception, is that they herald diabolical, heretical wolves like John Calvin.
Church history is not holy Scripture and is not divinely inspired.
MANY, instead of studying pure Holy Scripture (KJB), get caught up and derailed by the myriad of false systems of theology that have flooded the church world …. Calvinism, eternal security evangelicalism, church history, church fathers, the delusional witchcraft of the NAR (new apostolic reformation) movement, the Christ-denying heretical word of faith system, etc. The list goes on and on and on. Satan has many snares laid to clutter your mind and life with foolishness. God allows those who don’t authentically fear and love Him enough to study HIS pure Word to be sent “strong delusion” and thereby deceived (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). They are blinded, thinking they are going to Heaven and yet are “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7). There’s a divine elimination system – separating the sheep from the goats.
1 Corinthians 11:19 is an interesting verse of truth to ponder.
“For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.” 1 Corinthians 11:19
Church history contains an epidemic of contradicting theology and confusion because it’s not divinely inspired. “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Many who study church history instead of God’s Word, are caught up in the heretical system of the worst wolf in New Testament history. Yes, they adhere to the diabolical monstrosity named John Calvin, a man who had over 60 people murdered and admitted he received his teachings from a Catholic named Augustine. John Calvin Exposed
There is no contradiction in Scripture because the one true God inspired all of it! Church history is not Holy Scripture and is not divinely inspired. Let us wake up and study God’s Word as He expressly instructed us to do (2 Timothy 2:15, etc.). The LORD never once told any of His servants to study church history. Such is a diversion of the enemy of all souls.
“ALL things that pertain to life and godliness” are written for us in the “Holy Scriptures” which are “the exceeding great and precious promises” of the LORD (2 Peter 1:3-4; 20-21).
The study of church history in search of answers is a misguided endeavor and a waste of the time God has given us if we don’t even thoroughly know the full-counsel of His Word.
What is final divine authority? Man’s history or Holy Writ? Why waste our time studying the works of men when we grossly lack the knowledge of God’s Word? (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Acts 17:10-11)
The study of church history is clearly a rabbit trail of the enemy to keep people from the revealing and transforming truth of God’s Word. The Berean believers “searched the SCRIPTURES daily,” not church history outside the Bible canon of the 39 OT books. Jesus told us to “search the scriptures” because HE Himself is revealed in the Holy Scriptures, not subjective church history concerning mere men who were not divinely authenticated as were the “holy men of God” whom God used and “spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (John 5:39-40; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” John 5:39-40
The Holy Scriptures have as their Grand Subject the Son of God. Like the pharisees, the religionist of His day, those who hear it and don’t repent, coming to Jesus, forfeit the blessing of His salvation.
The “Holy Scriptures,” not church history books, are given to make us “wise unto salvation,” “for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” and so that we might “be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:15-17
It’s the Word of God, not church history, that furnishes the heart and life of the man of God, fully equipping him for the work of the ministry.
When Paul instructed Timothy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God,” he was speaking of studying the Holy Scriptures, not church history (2 Timothy 2:15).

Mission Mexico Part 46 [podcast]

Recorded about a week ago: Much has happened since then!
Your Love for God is Changing Lives Saints!
Clara’s new rental. Brother Allan ministering in the Philippines. Many being reached daily in Mexico. And much more…..
Happening now. In progress. Talking to Clara by text right now….. delivered the rent and deposit today. | Clara’s Cry
Recently, when bringing more food to Clara and her 3 boys, food from God’s love in and through you, I noticed that her 3 boys were quite dirty and was moved. They were actually filthy. Clara is by nature a very quiet person. So I began asking her questions….. With the current rental, they have one outdoor sink with running water. That’s it. No shower. The current rental is beyond shabby for sure. Sorry, just trying to communicate facts here.
Now the good news…..
Her mother found Clara and the boys a new rental, about 50 yards from where they currently live. She gave the price and I made a counter offer, negotiated a discount. Here’s the score:
Move-in Costs: It’s going to cost $382 USD total to move in, which includes the first month’s rent and deposit. I asked the landlord to give us the remainder of September as a bonus for this rental contract and she accepted. So, Clara’s monthly rent will be $208 USD – and this includes the water and electricity (both included). Her rent has doubled, all the way up to $208 USD per month for Clara and her 3 young boys 😉 …. In my estimation, this move is also going to help Clara be less weighed down as perhaps many of us know how it feels to live in dire conditions. Having a nicer, more functioning home to live in will surely do much for her morale. Do you agree?
If anyone wish to earmark a special gift for Clara and her boys, just submit it and send me an email, letting me know your special gift is for Clara. If more than $382 is raised, it will still all go to Clara’s cause. | info@safeguardyoursoul.com
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17
On the behalf of Christ Jesus and His beloved body, we are in Mexico to love, to equip, to support, to be a blessing to the members of our LORD’s Jesus’ body. Please allow me also to say, that it’s more than obvious that these saints in Mexico have never been loved and supported as they are now. This is all due to your love being poured out upon them in prayers and support.
The people, the saints God has put His holy finger on for us to serve, in no particular order, are as follows:
- Brother Juan
- Sister Maria
- Clara
- Brother Allan in the Philippines
If you’re going to go bananas over anything, let it be Christ. Everything else is fleeting and a waste. Read that again.
WE CERTAINLY CAN’T HELP EVERYONE AND YET WE, YOU, ARE BEING THE WORLD OF HELP TO A FEW—THOSE GOD HAS DESIGNED: Wednesday was Clara’s birthday, yesterday. Because you prayed and gave, she was given food and a pastry item so they could celebrate her birthday with her boys and mother, and other family members. Remember, people here are poor.
Many eternal souls are being reached in beautiful Mexico. God is able. Thank you for your prayers for these people.
Last Night: Maria called and needed more JESUS tracts and so I brought them to her on her witnessing post. She had finished the first 2,000 she was given after the 20,000 print run recently!
Mission Mexico | Download and Read the JESUS tract here – English and Spanish available.
Keep lifting up in prayer—fruit, more fruit, much fruit (John 15). God is answering. Can nearly not keep up, praise God for HIS mercy and goodness. What is reported is but a sampling of our LORD’s work among the beautiful humble people of Mexico. More and more Mexican saints taking JESUS tracts and distributing them!
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30
From Brother and evangelist Juan here in Mexico:
“Brother, I’ve chosen to leave some Bibles and pamphlets (JESUS tracts) at the businesses I distribute to for my job, and the customers have told me they’ve been a blessing. People come up to ask me to pray for them, and glory to God, because He gives us both the desire and the ability to do what is right. We know His Word never returns empty; it always fulfills its purpose. Amen, brother, brother.” Juan
Brother Allan and his ministry team in the Philippines are leading people to Jesus on a regular basis. God be praised that it is hard to keep up with all the evangelism success here in Mexico and also the Philippines with our brother Allan who is a fervent disciple of Jesus, a consummate soul winner (Proverbs 11:30). I’ve been blessed to know and be in fellowship with our brother for over 30 years now. He is authentic.
Here’s just one small example of what our LORD is doing in the Philippines: A few days ago a whole class full of students and the teacher received Jesus. Saints of Christ, the world is full of people who desire to hear the Gospel of our LORD Jesus and to receive Him. We are blessed to feed the Word of God to hungry souls who receive and don’t reject Christ.
“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.” Matthew 10:14-15
You and I are blessed to stand with our brother Allan and the Philippines ministry. YOUR prayers and support are making this possible!!! God is able!
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:20
Everyone is welcome to pray and support. It would be nice to increase our support soon to our brother Allan and Team Jesus in the Philippines! See Support button on safeguardyoursoul.com Let’s roll saints! Jesus is coming.
As has been shared previously…..
More and continual vehicle ministry….. rolling. If all you did was move to Mexico and passed out JESUS tracts as you drove around town, you’d be hitting home runs for Jesus daily!
Because you prayed, you cared, you gave, this beloved homeless man was fed—food, cold water, and the Gospel of Jesus! The Bible, God’s Word as much to say about feeding the poor and how God will bless those who do. Proverbs 19:17, etc.
It’s a blessing that with your prayers, love, and financial support, you are declaring that “The People of Mexico Matter for Christ—He died to save them!”
“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20
IF YOU WANT TO PLEASE SATAN …..
MAKE SURE you do NOT support authentic evangelistic ministries that are literally, actually getting Christ’s Gospel to the lost souls of this world.
The apostle Paul did “the work of an evangelist” and instructed us to do the same.
“Preach the word … But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:2, 5
Our KING is coming saints, King JESUS!
Let’s roll beloved of God!
in Christ
