To teach or preach that these things will save us is outright fraud, a terrible lie.

We are to believe (commit) on (eis, for result or purpose of) HIM,⁶ His Person, as our LORD Jesus Christ. See Rom 10:9; Acts 16 31; Col 2:6; 2 Cor 4:5; Acts 20:21; 1 Thess 5:9; Rom 6:23; Rom 5:21; John 3:16: Act 2:21; Acts 2:36; and many many more scriptures.

In Scripture Jesus is called Savior, 15 times, and Lord 618 times.   Called Lord 40 times more.

Rom 14:9 says, "For this reason, Christ died and returned to Life so that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living." The reason Jesus died and rose again was so He might be Lord of all, knowing that He would be Savior ONLY of those for whom He is Lord. After His resurrection, now as our Kinsman Redeemer, who now had defeated satan and all the rebels in His Creation and died for the separation removal of His Creation, He said, "All power and authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth" (Matt 28:18), go to all the world making disciples.   Obedient followers.

Before all creation, He justified Himself (Rom 3:26) and the Godhead for all eternity, in displaying before all the world His ineffable Character of Love, Truth, Holiness, and Wisdom, in His Loving unselfish death for His Creation. So truly, the Apostles and Peter declared, "God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:36). By this, "God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess Jesus Christ Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Phil 2:9-11).

2. Nowhere in Scripture does it say or suggest that we can have eternal Life by believing or trusting in something Jesus did.

It is His exalted Person that we must worship and to whom we are to commit ourselves (not just trust).
"Commit means to subject yourself under the orders and service of another, your Lord.

To teach or preach that simply mentally affirming and trusting what He did will save us is outright fraud, a terrible lie. It is because of this very deceptive lie, that countless people today are lost to Hell, doing marvelous dead works in great sincerity while thinking they are His children, as stated in Matt 7:21-23.

They think that "Lord" is just an empty title of their Savior Whom they affirm died for them. They only need to reassure themselves with this intellectual belief to be guaranteed Heaven. That is all they need to know for their salvation. No moral requirements, no turning from sin, no obedience, no Lordship. Come just as you are to receive the FREE gift, unconditionally to all. "Isn't God's grace wonderful," they say.

In His Epistle to the Romans Paul triumphantly declared in Rom 5:10, "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be Saved by His Life." Those who walk according to the Spirit of Life in (ev, means literally inside of) Christ Jesus are free from sin and death, "who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit," so that righteousness may be fulfilled in (ev, means literlly inside of) us... who walk after the Spirit" (Rom 8:1-4).

Virtually all the scriptures that deal with salvation exhort us to believe IN HIM,⁶His exalted Spiritual Person, Lord Jesus. Numerous times the scriptures say, "believe on (eis, for the purpose or result of) Him" and you will be saved. No apostle ever preached Heaven or a promise of Heaven for salvation. They preached only repentance from sin and commitment to His Lordship.

Biblical salvation believing (committing) is directed to God Himself. Believe on (eis-into, for the purpose of ) the Lord Jesus Christ, God Himself (Acts 16:31). In Biblical believing (Committing) the mind is directed toward the Holiness and Love and Lordship of Almighty God Himself. The person is not believing or trusting in just the historical acts or promises of Jesus in order to get Heaven from Him. This is the selfish evil message of demons today in the false gospel.

He is Committing to the Person Himself that Restored-Separated him by the cross and promised Salvation to whosoever repents and continuously is believing (abiding) into (eis, for the result or purpose of) Him. Committing continuously into Him (abiding, persevering, continuing in Faith Obedience), as the scriptures teach throughout is necessary. "For as the Father hath Life in Himself; so hath He Given to the Son to Have Life in Himself" (John 5:26). "In Him was Life" (John 1:4). "Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me" (John 14:6). The Life is in Him, not in a promise as the New Age seminary doctorates teach.

Those who teach salvation only by a Savior, invariably also fail to teach the importance of Obedience. And this double error then leads to still another salvation-denying problem concerning the place of the Indwelling Holy Spirit in a true believer. They thereby, deny any real place of the Holy Spirit in their Living. Their lives are totally self centered, self serving as those of Pharisees, "having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof (2 Tim 3:5), having turned their ears away from the Truth and shall be turned unto fables" (2 Tim 4:4).

The Deceit of Dispensationalism- What is NOT SAID !! The Deceit is in Not telling the Truth (full facts). Any half-truth is a lie. A car salesman does not commit fraud by not telling you about the problems in the car he wishes to sell you. He has not lied to you. He has not committed fraud. But he is supposed to tell you ALL the facts he knows about the car. As a result of his deceit, you would likely have a right to get the transaction rescinded and get your money back. You never had the information to really "count the cost."

Likewise, in presenting the Gospel to an unbeliever, we are supposed to tell everything that is material to his or her decision to become a Christian. Otherwise, the person is deceived so that he cannot "count the cost" before his decision. The preacher or teacher MUST tell the following:

WE MUST be able to COUNT THE COST.        First: Every one is totally lost in sin, incapable to Saving themselves by any means, and only Christ has the answer for their sinful selfish evil lives. Sin is the problem, God has provided the answer in His Son. This is the Gospel. Sin is the problem. Christ, His Son, is the answer, not some promise or your trust in a promise. Your troubles in the world are irrelevant to your eternal problem of sin in you. Regardless of your personal life, you are headed for hell. The real answer for everything for Eternity is to turn from yourself to God. What we need is a Life acceptable to our Creator God.

       Second: God has provided an answer to your SIN (selfish) problem.        1. We must repent. [[ turning from self ]] Repentance means to see ourselves as a lost self centered person, who has only done evil, who's only just place in eternity is in a deserved hell, judged from the presence of a Holy God. Yet in this awesome fearful comprehension made possible by the Holy Spirit enlightening our minds, we also see that this same Holy God also has standing beside Him, His Son Who gave Himself as a Love offering to us, saying, "I have died for you to give you forgiveness and a new Life, IF you will follow Me." Repentance is in this marvelous moment of trembling comprehension, the person truly determines to turn from themselves and their sins to follow their Lord and God who offers them forgiveness and His way to Live thereafter. His answer is HIMSELF in you to provide guidance.        2. We must believe (commit) to Him as our Lord [[ turning to Lord Jesus ]], to HIS new Life, no longer lived to sinful selfishness but to please Him in everything as His Bondslave, bought with a price. This is simply what the obedience of repentance is, to please Him thereafter. Thus, the Apostle James says, if you say you believe and have no works, this is no better than a demon, who believes but is not granted repentance. John the Bapitist said, "where are your works to show fruit unto repentance." If we have His faith, we will do HIS WORKS.  After his resurrection, He said, "As My Father has sent Me, even so send I you" (Jn 20:21).        3. You must be Born-from-above. When we truly do repent and commit to Him, God then gives to us His Holy Spirit (the Mind of Christ) who will teach us His Scriptures and give us spiritual gifts, empowerment, and lead us. HE is the only means by which we are being saved from this evil world and our sinful ways. We are called to be obedient. He, thereby, truly becomes our Lord forever after. God has then "chosen us for salvation through sanctification of Spirit and Faith of Truth" (2 Thess 2:13 b). Christ Himself is the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE. Himself in us.    Our part, Obedience.

This indwelling Mind of Christ (Faith), is the means by which we MUST walk in Obedience to our Lord in sanctification (to make Holy)-set apart to Him. This makes us His Bondslaves , bought with the price; He paid for our sin and sins. And having now been given His Holy Spirit Mind of Christ in our spirits, we now know without doubt that He has forgiven us and given us His Holy Spirit. We know that we are translated into the Kingdom of His dear Son. If we have never experienced "this Assurance" in our hearts, we have NEVER been born-from-above (2 Cor 13:5). We have been deceived by the False Gospel.

OBEDIENCE is our natural response in this FELLOWSHIP--RELATIONSHIP as Bondslaves to Jesus, our Lord. It is not a religion (by sinful flesh natured man to a form of ultimacy and transcendent norms chosen by which to conform ones life--all such have a religion thereby), but a life changing New-Life experience and Relationship. It may be likened to a marriage as a lifetime commitment, He is our Beloved and we (those Saved) are His Bride. Obedience requires you to deny yourself in all things and only ever after seek and Do your Lord's Will. You become His Wiling Slave, bought with a price, A BONDSLAVE of His Love for you.   He Came to earth to Give His Life for you.  

He deserves the Reward of His Suffering in His selfless Love for your Restoration Separation to Him,  from our sinful flesh natures headed for Eternal hell of all evil.  He freely offers this Salvation to you.  But as any free gift of Life Eternal, which only He could Provide to us by His Death, Burial , and Resurrection. There are conditions for Receiving it and continuously Enjoying it.  We must continuously choose to Live the New Life He Offers.  It is your choice.  As Joshua once said to the Israelites, "Choose you this day whom you will serve."   Will you reject your inherited sinful flesh nature and following the satan (rebeller) or Follow Lord Jesus Christ and His Heavenly Father.  It is your choice.  Behold, today, is the Day of Salvation (Heb 3:7).

The conditions of a Bondslave are: (1) It is voluntary turning from self (repentance) and commitment to His Lordship, (2) confessed publicly, (3) out of responding gratitude for his Redeemer, (4) Bondslave-giving up everything of self, in obedience to His Faith (Mind) in us, and (5) for Life (His Life and Mind in us) Abiding. These are the requirements for those who would follow Jesus.  "And having been Perfected, He became the Author of Eternal Salvation unto all them that are Obeying Him" (Heb 5:9).

Jesus taught, you must COUNT THE COST to you.  But in these days, By fraud and deceit is in how the gift of Eternal Life is described. Often the speaker says, "It is a Free gift! It costs you absolutely nothing. Just (only) accept (mentally affirm one time) Christ as your Savior (ONLY), you will be guaranteed Eternal Heaven." Isn't His Grace wonderful!!  Jesus said that everyone who chooses to Follow Him should Know THE COST in advance. Otherwise he may be unable to finish what he tried to start and will be mocked (Read Luke 14:26-35)

"And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough , and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (Luke 9:62).

Our Assurance of salvation ONLY comes from "The Spirit Itself Beareth Witness with our spirit, that we are the Children of God" (Rom 8:16).  "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the Faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is In you, except ye be reprobates?  (2 Cor 13:5).  "He that believeth (is Committing) on the Son of God hath the Witness in himself.......And this is the Record, that God hath Given to us Eternal Life, and this Life is in his Son.  He that hath the Son hath Life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not Life" (1 John 5:10-12).  Christ in you, your hope (Expectation) of Glory (Col 1:27).

The cost of Salvation is not to earn salvation and forgiveness of sins by anything that we can do or have done. That cannot be done (Eph 2:8-10). But Jesus told us of OUR COST (OUR LORD'S CONDITIONS) to us to receive Eternal salvation and Life in HEAVEN.  It is through Obedience to His indwelling Mind, which is Faith.   "Not all men have faith" (2 Thess 3:2); and "without faith, it is impossible to please God" (Heb 11:6).  How do we count the cost (qualify) for the gift of Eternal Life in Heaven?  "As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you" (Jn 20:21).  "He became the Author of Eternal Salvation unto all them that Obey Him"(Heb 5:9).

Let us now enumerate the cost that are His conditions for you to go to Heaven, the gift made available to you by God. He only gives this gift to those who go through the narrow gate and the constricted narrow way that leads to Eternal Life at the end (Matt 7:14-15).  "Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city" (Rev 22:14).  "If we are enduring, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us" (2 Tim 2:12).  "And being Made Perfect, He Became the Author of Eternal Salvation unto all them that are Obeying Him" (Heb 5:9).

Do we qualify for the Gift of Eternal Heaven? Let's enumerate the needed qualifications for Heaven AT THE END OF THAT NARROW WAY.

1. First repent and commit to God as your Lord.   Luke 13:3,5; Matt 4:17; Rom 10:9-10
2. Born-from-above to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit, the Mind of Christ   John 3:3
3. Obedience is then necessary.   Matt 7:21; Acts 5:32; Heb 5:9
4. Righteous, not as the Scribes and Pharisees.   Matt 5:20 James 1:22; 1 John 2:29, 3:7-8, 10
5. Forgiveness, a prerequisite to being forgiven.   Matt 6:14-15; Matt 18:21-35
6. Jesus Lord, above all else in your life. Above your own life   Luke 14:26 Only His commands to all the world   Matt 28:19-20 Put self on cross, die to self   Luke 14:27; Mk 8:34-37 Give up everything   Luke 14:33 Jesus above family and any others   Luke 14:26 Love not the world   1 Jn 2:15-16; 1 Jn 5:3-4 Live a holy (sanctified) life, separated from all evil   1 Thess 3:3-4, 7: Heb 12:14 Live by obedience to indwelling faith of Christ   Gal 2:20; Rom 1:17; Gal 3:11; Heb 10:38
7. Always Confess Him   Matt 10:32-33
8. Persevere (remain) in Christ to the end of your Life   Matt 10:22; 1 Cor 15:1-2; Jn 15:6
9. Must bear Spiritual fruit (not same as man works)    Jn 15:4;  Matt 7:16
10. Abide in the doctrine of Christ    2 Jn 9;   Gal 1:8-9

Many do not qualify. Many are deceived from the start by a false gospel, as Dispensationalism, others start out right and turn away later (Matt 13:20-22), and then there are those who go on to persevere to the end (Col 1:20-23). It is only by His faith, that we can please God (Heb 11:6), and only by His Faith (Holy Spirit Mind of Christ) do we avoid sin and perdition (Rom 14:23). It is this "obedience of Faith" (Rom 1:5 and 16:25-26), our obedience to His Faith (Mind of Christ) Inside us, which was the glorious Gospel that Paul and the Apostles preached to all the nations.

Our Lord made all things available to us to enable us to meet His conditions for His free Gift of Heaven.  He provided for our sins and sin natures in His shed blood and broken body, for our new Righteous Life of Him by His resurrection, and for our new Life obedience to Him in His indwelling Mind (faith) to teach and guide us and gift us.

Upon our repentance and committance to His Lordship, His subsequent indwelling Faith (Holy Spirit Mind of Christ) is given to us to qualify us for Eternal Life, that we be obedient to His Faith in all things (2 Cor 2:9; Rom 1:5; 16:26). By this means, Christ only and truly is our "wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption that as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord" (1 Cor 1:30-31). As Christ directs by His Mind in us (Faith), our Bondslave obedience only results in His works not ours. He gets all the Glory for every aspect of our Salvation.  We then become His handywork, "created in Christ Jesus unto God-Good Works by God" (Eph 2:8-10). 

We commit fraud and deceit whenever we forget to tell people their cost. And at this point many turn away-if they truly understand; even as they turned away from Him when he challenged them with their cost. Are we to do any less?  Many do not turn away because they don't hear the true gospel.  They hear that Jesus is an insurance salesman giving out free Life policies to whoever wants one. "Isn't His grace (free gift) wonderful, to continuing great carnal sinners like us. Praise His name", they say.

This fraud and deceit perverts the Gospel, redefines Christ, redefines Salvation, redefines belief (Commitment), redefines Faith (Christ Inside you), and redefines justification (to make Righteous), sanctification (to make Holy), and final redemption (Separation Restoration). It is an apostate gospel.

It is producing masses of people calling themselves born again Christians, who are totally lost and blind. They have no experience of indwelling Holy Spirit by Birth-from-above. We are developing a society without conscience to sin or morality. Homosexuality and all forms of witchcraft are admitted. Why should they be concerned, they have a free gift with no cost to themselves, as they continue to go after their selfish ways in all things. "Isn't the 'grace' of God wonderful to freely and so lovingly give us Eternal Life. Praise God", they cry. "Let's go to church, I hear they have a great new drummer and trumpet player. Also, they have just put in a Starbucks next to the bowling alley off the lobby. Sundays are real fun times to show our gratitude before we go to the nude bars and gamble or whatever. Isn't God's love wonderful", they say.

By this False Dispensational Gospel, they teach the following about salvation:

1. "Lord", is just an empty title of respect.
2. Committing or submitting to Christ as your Lord (Master) is not necessary
3. Repentance is not required.   "Please, just 'take' the free gift He offers you."
4. No moral change of intention is necessary in any manner.
5. Faith is nothing more than any man's intellectual believing anything. It is not Christ in you after you repent and commit to HIM as your Lord
6. Believing in the scriptures just means "trust", not any form of commitment or submission at all. Repentance = believing = trust = faith.  All of man himself, in his own imaginations (Rom 1:21).
7. What ever you think would please God, after a one-time only "trust" in a promise, is faith.
8. No works of any kind or manner or necessary. If Hitler has at any one time "trusted" Christ for a promise of salvation, he will be in Heaven. (Note: Hitler was a "good" Catholic, never censored by the church.)
9. Salvation requires no perseverance or following or continuing or abiding "in the faith".
10. They say, "No active homosexuals, impure, adulterers, fornicators, liars, thieves, murderers, sorcerers, etc., will be denied into Heaven, if they have ever given a one-time intellectual "trust" to a promise of a Savior only."
11. Once a person has at any time "said a sinners prayer" of trust in the finished work of Christ to save him, and trusted in a promise of Heaven, he is guaranteed Heaven, regardless, of anything he says or does thereafter. This is called the finished work of Christ. Man need do nothing.
12. We are saved by the "grace" of God, regardless of ourselves...."grace" regardless. Wonderful grace.
13. Being led by the Holy Spirit means "whatever you think is God's will after you read the Bible" is being led by the Holy Spirit. This is called living by faith....whatever you think.
14. No obedience of any kind is required of anyone at anytime for salvation. It is all by "grace". Wonderful "grace".

The foretold apostasy of the last days is now coming to universal manifest fruition.  They have no  understanding of the true meaning or purposes of repentance, believing, or faith."The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine...... They shall turn their ears from the Truth, and will be turned to fables" (2 Tim 4:3-4).  These are truly very sad times. 

Fundamentalism Today 

The New Age FUNDAMENTALIST Dispensational preachers of today, who cry out against Ecumenicalism today (as apostate and damnable as that is) and valiantly contend for the Textus Receptus (as wonderful as that is), and cry for separation from those who teach and tolerate false doctrines (as praise worthy as that is) have no idea of what the gospel is nor what a saving response is themselves.  Their salvation preaching is vain and fallen, fraudulent and deceitful, sending millions of blinded people to hell.   They deceitfully say, "Just put your trust (your faith) in a Savior who died for you, to NOW give you a free gift of guaranteed eternal Life when you die, regardless of any past, present, or future sins."  This they call the "finished work of Christ," in His "grace" to us.         Satan and his demons are laughing at them, and at Christ to be so dishonored.

The outspoken FUNDAMENTATLIST DISPENSATIONAL preachers and website ministries today, who decry all forms of Ecumenicalism today, believe that salvation is just a bookkeeping transaction of imputation only and nothing more.  End of story.  There is no living Christ within the spirit of the regenerated person with whom he is to walk and learn according to His leading thereafter.  There is no dead life for a new Life of Christ exchange at the new birth for Christ's purposes, in fact.   There is no obedience required or even implied by the sinner's repentance and commitment to Lord Jesus Christ.  Indeed, the so-called Fundamentalists today thinks that scriptural "believing" is just intellectual affirmation and trust in a Savior only.  They believe that preaching any obedience as necessary for the Christian is teaching a "works" salvation.

This is pure old fashion Antinomianism (lawlessness).  In his book, Paths to Power, A.W. Tozer stated: 

"Fundamental Christianity in our times is deeply influenced by that ancient enemy of righteousness, Antinomianism.  The creed of the Antinomian is easily stated: 

"We are saved by faith alone; works have no place in salvation; conduct is works, and is therefore of no importance.  What we do cannot matter as long as we believe rightly.  The divorce between creed and conduct is absolute and final.  The question of sin is settled by the cross; conduct is outside the circle of faith and cannot come between the believer and God.  

"Such in brief, is the teaching of the Antinomian.  And so fully has it permeated the Fundamental element in modern Christianity that it is accepted by the religious masses as the very truth of God.  Antinomianism is the doctrine of grace carried by uncorrected logic to the point of absurdity.  It takes the teaching of justification by faith and twists it into deformity."

In summary, even the remaining self-designated Fundamentalists today, proudly thinking they are special from the apostate Ecumenicals, have been totally deceived in their Bible schools and Seminaries by the modern day "grace" regardless apostasy.  They teach the same antinomial salvation message as the Ecumenicals.   And they are proudly sending their own children to such Seminaries and Bible schools to make their children more a child of the devil than themselves.  These Dispensatiional Fundamentalists are deceived apostates themselves, denying the Lord's salvation who bought them.  Their salvation doctrines are apostate lawlessness.  Do not be deceived by their scriptural distinguishing "separation" rhetoric.  Their modern salvation message is sending generations to hell and have already destroyed our society.  

• Christ has "become the author of eternal salvation to all them that are obeying Him" (Heb 5:9).   And  they are "elect ...through MAKING HOLY of the Spirit unto obedience" (1 Pet. 1:2).
• "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed " (Gal 1:9).

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:  And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it." (Amos 8:11-12).
