THE TEACHING OF THE FALSE PROPHETS AND PASTORS

Their Topic: It is by Grace, and not by Works. The false prophets and teachers are right; but what is wrong is that they have given a different meaning and understanding to these biblical terminologies.

You see, to be saved or to gain admission into God’s Kingdom is based on GRACE only. Man has done nothing to deserve such an opportunity and favor. Man cannot do anything to pay for such an honor, because man himself and everything that man has is owned by God; therefore what can man offer to God as a price to purchase such a great gift? Man cannot do anything as a payment to obtain such a favor, because God is the source of man’s existence. The initial part of salvation – that is, GAINING ENTRY or ADMISSION into God’s Kingdom is all by GRACE, and becomes a done deal through our faith in Christ Jesus ONLY. 
This is the first step of salvation, which is achieved through the WORK of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

About 2,000 years ago in the province of Galatia some false teachers and prophets called Judaizes; who are a similitude of the current day false teacher and prophet gave a different meaning to the theology of salvation by GRACE. The Judaizes taught that faith in Christ Jesus was not enough to make a believer enter into God’s Kingdom; until he is circumcised, observed the Sabbath and observed the Passover. These doctrines of the Judaizes were in contradiction to Scripture; which teaches that our righteousness that permits us to GAIN ENTRY or ADMISSION into God’s Kingdom is by faith in Christ Jesus:
1. [17] For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith (Romans 1:17).”

“Saved, Sanctified, and Justified”


                                                            THIS IS IT !!!!



                                          Saved:

Matt 10: 22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matt 24: 35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 1 pet 3:18-20

We are all infected with sin (Romans 3:23). We are born with sin (Psalm 51:5), and we all have chosen at one time to sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20;1) (John 1:8). Sin is what makes us unsaved. Sin is what separates us from God. Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction.

Because of our sin, we all deserve death (Romans 6:23). While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin. All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God (Psalm 51:4). Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite. What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (Matthew 25:46;Revelation 20:15).

Key to understanding how Satan operates against the church of Jesus Christ

The key to understanding how Satan operates against the church of Jesus Christ is found in the word rebellion. Simply put, rebellion means going against the rule and authority of God’s Word. When Lucifer declared war on God, he was rebelling against the word of the Almighty.

You must understand—God's word is His power. Through it, He spoke the worlds into being. And through it, the sun, moon and stars are kept in place. His word brought all things into being and continues to produce life. And by His word, God pulls down kings and raises up nations. Through it, He blesses and saves, judges and destroys (see Psalm 29:3-9).

Satan’s aim is always to tempt God’s people to rebel against His word. He planted thoughts of rebellion in Adam and Eve, causing them to reason, “I know what God said but I’m going to act according to my own will.” Those thoughts caused humanity’s fall.
