Believers CANNOT Lose God's Salvation

Psalms 70:4, “Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.”

       In the book of Psalms, we find the phrase “thy salvation” mentioned 21 times! It is God's salvation, not man's. We cannot save ourselves from sin and Hell. In the following Scripture passage we are told to work out “YOUR OWN SALVATION,” not GOD'S SALVATION. Philippians 2:12, “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” That simply means we our responsible for the life we live, for the choices we make.

Salvation is of the Lord, which is exactly what the prophet Jonah pondered in the whale's belly. Jonah 2:9, “But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.” The ole boy is trapped in a whale's stomach, drenched in digestive fluids in utter darkness, not having a very good time, and he is thinking about theology? Wow! Tragedy often drives men to run back to God!!! Prosperity destroys men; adversity builds men!

It is interesting when Jonah made these statements, that in the verse next verse God released him. Jonah 2:10, “And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.” We see the same truth in the life of Job. It was only when Job prayed for his critical “friends” that God turned the tide in his life. Job 42:10, “And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.” So we learn an important spiritual lesson in these examples of Jonah and Job, which is that God will sometimes allow the circumstances in our life to become horrible, until we learn the spiritual lesson God has for us to learn. We need to always keep in mind that God is not an absent parent, no matter how much we may feel like He has abandoned us. I speak to born-again Christians. What lesson is God trying to teach you my friend?

Modern Bible Versions Corrupt Eternal Security

I hate the Devil's modern Bible revisions, which do great harm to the doctrine of Christ, and ruins theology in general. Let's take a look at a popular Bible verse from 1st Corinthians 1:18 in the accurate King James Bible...

1st Corinthians 1:18, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

Now here is what the ungodly reprobates at Bob Jones University and their alumni promote from the English Standard version (ESV)...

1st Corinthians 1:18, “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Whoa! The Bible says believers “ARE SAVED,” not that we are “BEING SAVED.” Although it is true that sanctification (growing in grace) is a lifelong process, the apostle Paul is talking about THE GOSPEL (the preaching of the cross) by which we ARE SAVED (immediately, eternally, irrevocably and permanently). Again, it is GOD'S SALVATION, meaning that God does the saving, ALL OF IT! When I hear a Bible teacher claim that salvation CAN be lost, I know he is not saved. How can he be, because he is not completely resting in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ? What saith the Scripture? 1st Corinthians 3:6-7, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” Amen! Only God Himself can GIVE THE INCREASE! That means only God can save a soul from Hell. Our duty and responsibility as believers is to share THE GOSPEL with the lost, and to pray for the power of the Holy Spirit in soulwinning.

Before the famous Day Of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, there were 120 Christians praying in the upper room for God's Holy Spirit to come down (Acts 1:13-15) and work a miracle, and HE DID! The apostle Peter preached the Gospel and those who heard, BELIEVED, and were saved. Acts 2:41, “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Wow! There were 3,000 lost people saved in just ONE DAY! That is the Holy Spirit's awesome power wrought through prayer and the Gospel!!! In the year 2020, mass revival is still possible! The woeful problem today is ecumenism, which is rooted in THE LOVE OF MONEY, and not preaching the truth of the Gospel. Most churches have sadly lost sight of what the Gospel even means! With heretics like Pastor John MacArthur (a shameful Bob Jones University alumni) corrupting God's plan of salvation, millions of churchgoers are being led astray. When the Gospel is embellished, people don't get saved! Instead, they set out to live the Christian life, without ever being born-again!!! That is how the Devil tricks people. It's much like the Magic Eye photos that were very popular years ago.

The Gospel is not hard nor difficult, but it is often overlooked because of man's sinful tendency to add human effort (works) to faith alone in Christ's redemptive work. God rejected Adam's fig-leaf religion. God rejected Cain's grain offering from his farm's fields. God rejected the Baptismal Regeneration of Martin Luther (1483-1546). God rejects the Seven Sacraments of the Roman Catholic cult. And I assure you dear reader that God will reject you, if you rely upon anything other than the precious sacrifice of Jesus Christ for your sins on the cross. JESUS PAID IT ALL!!!

So throw your modern Bible revision into the garbage where it belongs. You want a Holy Bible that says you “ARE SAVED,” not are “BEING SAVED,” because that is THE TRUTH if you are born-again!!!

“Confidence comes from knowing and trusting in THE TRUTH! ...If there's anything you should learn, in the days that you live, is learn, TRUTH—the Word of God! ...the world cannot teach you TRUTH, it teaches you the wisdom of the world.” —a helpful quote by Pastor Ralph “Yankee” Arnold from the life-changing sermon titled: “1st John Made Simple”

Ecumenism Is Of The Devil

Social justice agendas are NOT THE GOSPEL! Australian speaker Christine Caine is a false prophetess. She is a wicked woman preacher, condemned by the Scriptures! Max Lucado (a Church of Christ heretic who teaches Baptismal Regeneration) wrote the foreword for her heretical book titled: “Undaunted.” Dear reader, you need to throw all that ecumenical crap into the garbage pail, and read ONLY the King James Bible!!! We need to GET BACK TO THE BIBLE!!! The religious world has been inoculated from the inspired Word of God, with everything from counterfeit Bible versions, to Christian this and Christian that (radio, books, seminars, movies, magazines, devotionals, documentaries, music, church entrainment, et cetera). The Devil has replaced the inspired Word of God with everything else!!! TO HELL WITH IT ALL! I'll just take an inspired King James Bible!!!!!!! I want to hear from God, not from corrupt men and women who just want my money!!!

The ecumenical movement work to unite different religious faiths on the basis of something else besides truth and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it is a FALSE UNITY!!! Joshua Chavez does a great job exposing these wicked Devils (Chris Tomlin, Joel and Victoria Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Bill Johnson, Hillsong, Todd Bentley, Joseph Prince, Ray Comfort, Christine Caine, Rick Warren; and Matt Maher—the Catholic). These wicked apostates are all BUSINESSMEN, not servants of the most high God! 2nd Timothy 4:3-4, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” Ecumenism doesn't care about THE TRUTH, they just want a good song and a lame Charismatic preacher!!!

Many Ecumenicals are hyper-Pentecostal extremists, like Bill Johnson, who believe in healing on demand, which is a demonic practice. In gets much worse. The Lockman Foundation has announced a new Bible revision coming out in 2021, called the 'New American Standard Bible 2020.' Here is a comparison of Isaiah 53:4 between the inspired trustworthy King James Bible, and the Satanic NASB 2020...

Isaiah 53:4, “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.”

Isaiah 53:4, “However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore, and our pains that He carried; Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted, struck down by God, and humiliated.”

Such corruption of the Holy Scripture caters to nutty Charismatics and their healing-on-demand heretical garbage! That's likely why they changed it! Jesus Christ redeems the believer's soul the moment we are saved, but the believer's body will not be redeemed until the Rapture, when Christ appears. Romans 8:23, “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemptio11n of our body.” There is no guarantee of physical healing in this earthly life!!! Yes, God is a miracle-working God, and the prayer of faith is able to heal the sick (James 5:15-16), but NO ONE has God's divine power (as Jesus did) to heal on demand! Charismatics are devils in the churches!

Ecumenism is a deadly disease which has infected hundreds of thousands of churches throughout the world. False prophets like Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, T.D. Jakes, Benny Hinn, Steven Furtick and Joyce Meyer are leading the way into Hell! These bozos in the pulpit are imposters. They've all appeared on the demonic Oprah Winfrey Show, corrupting the masses, leading them away from THE TRUTH! Truth does not matter to them, money does! From false prophets' Rick Warren to Joel Osteen, you'll hear umpteen different variations of how to get to Heaven, but none of them are THE GOSPEL!

If Saved, Always Saved

I get sad when I hear Evangelist Paul Washer errantly saying, that a person cannot write down their name, date and place they were saved; but rather, he says there is a lifelong probation period required to continue believing and repenting, to prove that you are really saved. Folks, that is of the Devil. By the way, that is exactly what Evangelist Ray Comfort teaches. When a person says they are no longer a Christian, it just means that they once ascribed to the philosophy of Christianity, but they were never actually born-again. They had churchianity without Christianity. They lived the Christian life at one time in the past, but were never actually a child of God. I firmly believe that. No truly born-again child of God has ever gone apostate! The second spiritual birth is as irreversible as the first physical birth!!!

When you're a Calvinist, you become a fruit inspector! When you're a Calvinist, you've got to turn from sin. You've got to “persevere” to prove that you are saved. You've got to surrender to Jesus as your absolute “Lord” and “Master.” Calvinism sinfully ADDS to the Gospel!!! I hate the Devil's lie of Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation). This deadly heresy is subtle, it sounds intellectual, and it has crept into America's religious institutions. All across America religious people in churches are hypocritically singing: “Just As I Am,” but they don't mean it at all. What they really mean is: “Just As You Ought To Be!” They say you have to stop this, and stop that, to prove that you are really saved. That is the Satanic deception of Calvinism!!! Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” That means I don't have to qualify to be good enough for God to save me, nor do I have to live a good enough life to prove that God saved me.

There is only one saving message, and it is the message that we are saved by faith in what Christ did to pay for our sins on the cross, and not by works! Dear reader, we as Christians need to strand against the Devil's heresy of Calvinism (Lordship Salvation). If we don't do it, then who will? For the Gospel to remain, we must preach THE TRUTH of the Gospel of free grace, and expose the Devil's lie of Calvinism! As the apostle Paul did, we must be set for the defence of THE GOSPEL! Philippians 1:17b, “knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.”

Christians can live as wickedly as unsaved people can. Just know that and understand that! But it's not God's will that His children live like the world. Ephesians 2:10 says that we are saved UNTO GOOD WORKS! God wants us as His children to, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil” (Matthew 5:16-17).

Also, our faith is in vain if Christ did not come back from the dead. Everything hinged on Jesus' coming back to life, after being crucified on the cross, and dying. THANK GOD, CHRIST IS RISEN!!! 1st Corinthians 15:13-14, “But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.” JESUS IS BODILY RISEN, BODILY ASCENDED, AND BODILY SITS ON THE FATHER'S RIGHT HAND IN HEAVEN. Colossians 3:1-3, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” I love that Scripture passage! Dear Christian, if you understand what you just read, it would change your life. We ought to live each day, thinking about the things of Heaven (soulwinning, praying, walking with God, loving, abiding in the Scriptures). Oh it is wonderful to be a Christian!!!

Tragically, most people have just enough religion to kill their conscience. Dear friend, if you can “KNOW” that you have eternal life (1st John 5:13), wouldn't you like TO KNOW? Well the only way you can know is if it is FREE and it lasts FOREVER; because if it is not FREE you cannot “KNOW”; if it is not FOREVER you cannot “KNOW”! So we see that it is very important to know what THE GOSPEL is! If “SAVED” doesn't mean that I cannot go to Hell once born-again, then the word has no meaning for us! We are saved, which means we cannot go to Hell for any reason!!! You mean I can get saved and live like the Devil? Yes, that is exactly right! But just as you can be saved and do what you want, so also can God do what He wants; the Lord is going to scourge and chastise His disobedient children (Hebrews 12:6-8). God is not an absent parent! Proverb 3:12, “For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.”

If you are saved, you cannot ever go to Hell to pay for your sins, because you have no sins to pay for. Jesus has already paid for your sins! Since you have received God's gift of eternal life by faith, you cannot go to Hell for any reason. Forget all that “TURN OR BURN” garbage that preachers propagate! Forget all that “FORSAKE OR BAKE” nonsense that preachers promote! Jesus paid your debt of sin friend, because YOU CANNOT! It was the precious only begotten Son of God Who bore the full weight of your sins on the cross, so that you wouldn't have to spent eternity burning in Hell! What a great God!!! If you TURN, you will BURN! If you FORSAKE, you will BAKE! You don't receive the gift of God by turning away from your sins! You don't receive the gift of God by forsaking the world! You receive the gift of God by GETTING OUT OF THE WAY, letting God do all the saving “through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” (Philippians 3:9b).

You get saved BY RESTING COMPLETELY IN THE SAVIOR. Hebrews 4:10-11, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” God loves us but He hates our sin. We're all going to die because of our sins (Romans 6:23). To go to Heaven, you have to be 100% perfect, without even one sin. Therefore, God says you cannot save yourself (Ephesians 2:8-9). Jesus had no sin, so He didn't have to die; but He took our sins upon Himself, so then He needed to die for us. Jesus died and came back from THE DEAD. The only thing Jesus wants us to do is to believe He did it for us! So when I BELIEVE Christ paid for my sins, I am putting my faith in what He did at Calvary and the Mercy Seat in Heaven. In reality, Jesus is THE PAYMENT!  Christ is the LAMB OF GOD Who was slain and sacrificed for our sins. Only Jesus has the scars in his feet, hand and side, as proof that He suffered, bled and died for my sins. Jesus is my receipt! I KNOW I am going to Heaven when I die—not because of any good deed I have done—but because Jesus did it all, and His sacrifice was sufficient!!! Blessed by the name of Jesus!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!

What Was The Gospel Of The Apostle Paul? | MP3
(awesome inspired King James Bible preaching by Pastor Ralph “Yankee” Arnold)

There is Only One Gospel

The Bible teaches that God preached THE GOSPEL unto Abraham. Galatians 3:8, “And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.” The blessing of Abraham is to be justified BY FAITH!!! That is the manner in which all the nations of the earth shall be blessed! God gave the world the blessed Holy Savior through the Jews. God gave the world the blessed Holy Scriptures through the Jews. There has always been only ONE GOSPEL, which is salvation by faith alone in the Jewish Messiah! Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” Men have always been justified BY FAITH!

Salvation is by FAITH ALONE! Can a man believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ and not be saved? Sure, if you don't know Who He is and what He has done, and you foolishly ADD works to God's plan of salvation. Take Catholics for example: They believe in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection; but they also ADD the works of the Seven Sacraments (water baptism, Eucharist, confirmation, confession, anointing of the sick, holy orders, marriage). Adding these unbiblical things to the Gospel negates it. Catholics trust their priests to absolve their sins, which is totally unbiblical. Christ died for our sins and paid for them, not the Catholic priest or Lutheran minister. So no mortal man can forgive sin; only Jesus (the only begotten Son of God) can forgive sin! To be saved, you must trust Christ alone! You cannot add water baptism (as do unsaved Mormons, Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses and Roman Catholics). Faith cannot add anything to it to be true faith, otherwise you're not really wholly trusting Jesus Christ, and it is not faith at all!!!

By the way, Jesus doesn't forgive sins, He has already paid for them! So to get saved, you simply received God's free gift which Christ has already paid for with His precious blood. That is why eternal life is a free gift! Forgiveness of sins is a free gift! God loves you so much, that He is willing to save you by faith in His only begotten Son, even if you refuse to forsake the willful sinning in your life! That is why it is called: “A GIFT”! Wicked men allow their sinful nature to dictate their beliefs, adding works to faith, corrupting the GOOD NEWS (GOSPEL)! You gotta love the simplicity of God's plan of redemption for mankind. What a beautiful Savior—the crucified, buried and risen sinless Lamb of God!
