Excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages
Liars
To His Own, Jesus says …
“If a man abide (remain, continue) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6
Testifying concerning his walk with the LORD and how he was initially misled by his then leaders, Brian Ivey writes:
“I was saved in my home church at the age of 12. I knew then God had been speaking to my heart and went down the aisle and said the prayer and repented and received Jesus. My life was clearly changed as I had been born again. Then, after being saved, I was immediately told by those same pastors that I was ‘once saved always saved.’ I believed this and though knowing I had been saved, I went right out and continued living a sinful lifestyle. Since I was ‘once saved always saved’ I reasoned ‘why should I change my ways?’ Well, being a brand-new believer in Christ, I took these leaders and their teaching literally. Following this I grew older and was faced with many temptations and I followed those temptations and did not resist them, thinking I was ‘once saved always saved.’ While living in sin I knew full well I was in the wrong. I remembered what I was told, ‘once saved always saved’, and continued believing this for about 7 years. Then, I went to a friend’s church one night and the leader was talking about salvation and that ‘once saved always saved’ was a lie from the devil. At the hearing of this truth my heart was convicted again of my sins and I repented afresh and went thru a discipleship program on how to walk with God. Since then I have often wondered how many people have been led astray to believe ‘once saved always saved’ who really think that they are eternally secure no matter how they live. This is very disturbing. I was headed for destruction and didn’t know it, but God intervened and saved me again. My prayer is that people will have the chance to know the whole truth about salvation before it’s too late.”
Was Brian offered biblically blessed assurance or blessed presumption? Brian was told that God loved Him, yet there was no hint to what the LORD required of him (Mic. 6:8; 1 Pet. 1:15-16). Brian was never told that the LORD wanted him to choose to love God with all of his heart, mind and strength (Matt. 22:37-39; Jn. 14:21). Was this new believer (babe in Christ) led to believe he could presume upon and take advantage of God’s grace? (See Rom. 6:1-2, 15; 2 Cor. 6:1.) Was Brian told about denying the self-life and lifting up Jesus in all things, fearing God, the essential of personal holiness, living his life by faith, the danger of falling away, trusting and fully obeying the LORD in all things He commanded, etc.? Was Brian instructed to “desire the sincere (pure) milk of the word” to grow as a believer and that God’s Word is final authority and to be studied and obeyed? (See Ps. 119; Lk. 4:4; 1 Pet. 2:2.) Was this new believer informed about nurturing intimacy in his new relationship with Jesus? Was there any hint of personal responsibility and accountability communicated to this new saint in order to help him to walk at peace with the LORD? Or, was Brian given man’s blessing to be presumptuous upon the grace of God and a license to be as irresponsible as he wished?
Brian is like millions today who have been lied to by their very leaders to believe something the Bible never teaches—an unconditional eternal security (Isa. 9:16).
Of the deluded religious leaders of his day, the prophet Ezekiel says:
“Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life.” ~ Ezekiel 13:22
Ezekiel the prophet cites the false teachers of his day for doing two evil things:
- “With lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad.”
- “Strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life.”
The Holy Spirit reveals here that the “heart of the righteous” remnant is made “sad” by the false prophets who “with lies” strengthen the position of those who while claiming to be followers of Christ, live in unrepentant sin. Those who teach unconditional eternal security lie against the truth (James 3:14). In the LORD’s eyes, they are liars.
Promising eternal life, assurance with God to any person who is not born again, abiding sanctified in Christ, is sin! Stop it now. Ask God to forgive you! Begin preaching repentance. Memorize Proverbs 28:13.
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
Only a deceiver would give hope to a “Christian” who is living in sin. It doesn’t matter if one believes he is a deceiver or not, if the Word of God reveals that we are teaching falsehood, such is obvious (2 Tim. 3:7, 13; Titus 1:10-12, 15-16).
“Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?” ~ Malachi 2:17
How had God’s people “wearied the LORD?” When they said that “Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them.” Did you catch this? The LORD said that it wearied Him when His people that were sinning people (in the church) were said to be “good in the sight of the LORD” and also said that “He (the LORD) delighted in them.” God is holy and unchanging and does not see sinning people as “good” or delightful, regardless of whether or not that person served the LORD in the past. The Word instructs “The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (2 Tim. 2:19).
“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.” ~ Proverbs 17:15
Is it okay to believe OSAS? Is it okay to believe ANY heresy – anything that does not agree with God, with His written Word? No.
QUESTION: IF Adam and Eve who were born sinless, who were in perfect communion with God, who NEVER knew sin, fell only AFTER they were told by Satan that they were “eternally secure”, how could those possibly born in sin not fall away? hmmmmm Satan himself is the author of the doctrine of “once saved always saved.” See Genesis 2:17; 3:4.
Anita Padgett writes: “I just want to say I’m very pleased with you speaking out against that ‘once saved always saved’ doctrine. Somebody has to stand up to it. You have been ordained for this very day and age, so don’t give up. I believe those who preach that doctrine may mean well but there is not one Scripture that says that we can profess Christ and go back out in sin. No matter how hard they try to interpret the Scriptures it just does not say that! I was a part of a church that preached that … but it’s leading people astray. It leads people to believe ‘I’m saved by grace and that means I can do anything I want,’ and it’s leaving people worse off than what they were before coming to know the Lord. I have a very dear close relative who was under that preaching for a long time and he of course left the church and returned to sin and addictions. All he knows is, ‘I’m saved by grace,’ and he’s really messed up now. That false doctrine makes people think they have a license to sin. In fact, that very same pastor who taught that doctrine adamantly, preached it so much that now his own son who was raised in this Baptist Church is gone out into homosexual living. And of course, he has been taught ‘I’m saved by grace, so I can do whatever I want.’ Well I know one thing for sure, no homosexual is going to enter into the Pearly Gates of Heaven. I believe, had the Pastor taught about our need to turn from our sins—not just professing Christ and going back in sin—things would have been different for them. I truly believe it. The pastor is to be blamed as well as those who hear this heresy – just as Adam and Even were accountable when Satan first told this life in Genesis (2:17; 3:4). I do know that teaching ‘I’m saved by grace. I’m going to be sealed forever, so I can do whatever I want,’ has a lot to do with it. It’s a horrible teaching, it’s a stumbling block for the blind, and it comes straight from the pit of hell. Glory be to God. Amen.”
The Damning Myth of Un-Conditional Eternal Security!
RADIO: OSAS Debate Todd Tomasella and Chris Bradford [podcast]
Eternal Security / OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved)
WHY do eternal securists get all upset when their fairy tale is exposed? Well, they are hiding behind the thin veneer of this heresy, feeling all secure, emboldened to live as they please, feeling assured in their lukewarmness and sin … denying Jesus instead of self, refusing to take up the cross that Jesus commanded all who would follow Him truly (Luke 9:23-24). Christ’s apostle Paul speaks of self-serving “enemies of the cross of Christ.” (Philippians 3:18-19) What’s behind this myth? The Psychology of Eternal Security [book]

Chosen, Ordained, Joyfully Fruitful [podcast]
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring
forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name,
he may give it you.” John 15:16
- “Ye have not chosen me”
- “I have chosen you”
- “and ordained you”
- “that ye should go and bring forth fruit”
- “and that your fruit should remain”
Of this truth, the Believer’s Bible Commentary notes the following:
“15:16 Lest there be any tendency for them to become discouraged and give up, Jesus reminded them that He was the One who chose them. This may mean that He chose them to eternal salvation, to discipleship, or to fruitfulness. He had appointed the disciples to the work which lay before them. We should go and bear fruit. Fruit may mean the graces of the Christian life, such as love, joy, peace, etc. Or it may mean souls won for the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a close link between the two. It is only as we are manifesting the first kind of fruit that we will ever be able to bring forth the second.
The expression “that your fruit should remain” leads us to think that fruit here means the salvation of souls. The Lord chose the disciples to go and bring forth lasting fruit. He was not interested in mere professions of faith in Himself, but in genuine cases of salvation. L. S. Chafer notes that in this chapter we have prayer effectual (v. 7), joy celestial (v. 11), and fruit perpetual (v. 16). “That whatever you ask … .” The secret of effective service is prayer. The disciples were sent forth with the guarantee that the Father would grant them whatever they asked in Christ’s name.”
Adam Clarke writes;
“The first ministers of the Gospel were the choice of Jesus Christ; no wonder, then, that they were so successful. Those whom men have since sent, without the appointment of God, have done no good. The choice should still continue with God, who, knowing the heart, knows best who is most proper for the Gospel ministry.
To be a genuine preacher of the Gospel, a man must –
1. Be chosen of God to the work.
2. He must be placed in the true vine – united to Christ by faith.
3. He must not think to lead an idle life, but labor.
4. He must not wait till work be brought to him, but he must go and seek it.
5. He must labor so as to bring forth fruit, i.e. to get souls converted to the Lord.
6. He must refer all his fruit to God, who gave him the power to labor, and blessed him in his work.
7. He must take care to water what he has planted, that his fruit may remain – that the souls whom he has gathered in be not scattered from the flock.
8. He must continue instant in prayer, that his labors may be accompanied with the presence and blessing of God – Whatsoever ye shall Ask.
9. He must consider Jesus Christ as the great Mediator between God and man, proclaim his salvation, and pray in his name. – Whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, etc. See Quesnel.”
God alone ordains His people to His work and brings them
through many purging seasons to cause His fruitfulness in
them, preparing them to bear more of His fruit.
God chose us and blessed us with the ability to repent and
receive Christ. As His people, He’s also ordained us to “go
and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain.”
As we read this discourse from our LORD (John 15 and 17),
we discover that He is speaking of that abiding fellowship we
have with Him, and how out of it is borne the good fruit of
His ministry in and through our life.
Being rooted in that oneness, the abiding relationship with
Christ, is all-important to our relationship with Him and the
Father. As his student, His disciple, may the reader be
encouraged to pour prayerfully over these truths captured,
and given to us in John, chapters 15 and 17.
Isaiah 43
“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee … “
Prayer: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, please make me one with You. Please deeply root and establish my life in an abiding fellowship with You dear LORD.

Kiss Jesus Or be Crushed as His Enemy! [podcast]
Satan’s Pitiful Petty Perverted Pawns have an Expiration Date!
“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.” Isaiah 13:9
Psalm 2 is Prophetic of Christ and of His Return to Take back Possession of His Planet, Earth
The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
GOD told us He’s laughing at these luciferians and all their “elaborate plans” to control humanity. Read Psalms 2. Jesus is coming. His enemies will be crushed under His holy, Almighty feet (Romans 16:20).
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” Romans 16:20
The future belongs exclusively to Jesus Christ and His followers. Read the book of Revelation!
“And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” Matthew 21:44
Jesus is coming back “In flaming fire taking vengeance.”
“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10
The Coming of the Son of Man
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:25-28
Just as Aaron’s rod swallowed up the rods of the sorcerers of Egypt (the world), so shall Christ’s kingdom swallow up the kingdoms of this world! (Exodus 7:12; Daniel 2:44; 7:14) Will you be a part of Christ’s eternal kingdom?
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15
Bow now or burn forever.
All who refuse to repent, bowing down to “kiss the Son” of God will perish in their own corruption and be violently vanquished into the bowels of eternal damnation, the prison of fire, which will then be “cast into the lake of fire.”
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:14-15
“EVERY Knee”
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11
