One Sunday night at church, Bishop Caldwell was talking about Carlton Pearson false doctrince of inclusion. In a nut shell Bishop Pearson said that there was no need to call on Jesus for salvation everyone would be saved in the end.
We all know that those words could not be further from the truth.Salvation come through Jesus. There is no other way.
In Romans it says you have to confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. Sounds like you have to call on Jesus to me. And you don't have to confess all of your sins. That not even practical because it has been proven that people only remember a portion of what happens to them.
Salvation is a simple plan. You don't need to add anything to confessing and believeing. Man came up with going to church on Satuday, women not wearing pants, shaking the preachers hand and other things other than Jesus that we must do for salvation. Jesus said "I am the door" He didn't say "I am one of the doors" or "I am a door""I am the door" implies that there is only one way of salvation and that is though Jesus.
Also once Jesus comes into your heart, he's not leaving out. Jesus is not a temporary savior. That means there is no need to ask anybody "Are you still saved?" If they were ever saved the answer would be yes because you can't stop being saved once you get saved. The bible says "We are sealed unto the day of redemption" The seal cannot be broken. The seal is bound by God's Word.
In conclusion Salvation comes only through Jesus and Once salvation comes it is forever.

Funny you mentioned this, Marcus. I was just having this conversation with someone on yesterday. They couldn't understand once saved, always saved...it was very disappointing, to say the least. What people fail to understand is that if man couldn't save himself, then how in the world can he keep himself? Since we can't seal ourselves, then what's up with all the concern about us breaking the seal? Total nonsense!!!
ReplyDeleteMarcus, great blog. It's foolishness for people to continue this debate when, as you put it, it is clearly spelled out in scripture that a person cannot lose their salvation. If 'sin' is the very thing we've been saved from, then how would 'sin' cause us to later become lost? Foolishness!
