There are many false
prophets in our churches today, who have reduced
salvation into a mere
experience, or a
feeling.
Surrendering one's life to Jesus is not a plan
of salvation. Judas was one of Christ's very Apostles,
and yet Jesus said he had a devil (John 6:70). This is
why 2nd Timothy 3:5 speaks of religious people in the
Last Days who will have a form of godliness, but deny
the POWER thereof. That saving “power” according to
Romans 1:16 is the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to
the Greek.”
The Bible teaches that salvation is a supernatural
miracle of God in response to ones faith in Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, for the forgiveness of sins.
John 1:12, “But as many as received Him, to them gave He
power to become the sons of God, even to them that
BELIEVE ON HIS NAME.” Salvation is a miracle of
God. Eternal life is a free gift, paid for by Jesus'
precious, literal, blood (1st Peter 1:18-19). And may I also say,
faith alone in Christ alone is NOT salvation. The cross
upon which Christ died for our sins MUST be included.
There is
a Cross-less plan of salvation which has crept into
our churches, that says, “Just trust Jesus and you'll be
saved,” but that's not the Gospel message. The Holy
Bible plainly defines “the Gospel” as:
1st Corinthians 15:1-4,
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you, which also ye have received,
and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye
keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have
believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all
that which I also received, how that Christ died for
our sins according to the scriptures; And that he
was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures.”
The Gospel is not
being presented properly if the cross is left out, or if
Christ's death, burial and bodily resurrection are left
out. Increasingly, we are hearing silly unbiblical
statements from ignorant ministers on religious radio,
who say things like: “Invite Jesus into your heart to be
saved,” or “Commit your life to Jesus today to be
saved,” or “Pray the sinner's prayer now to have eternal life.”
These statements all sound good, but they are NOT the
Gospel and do not produce the new birth by the Holy
Spirit of God. Salvation is
a miraculous, second, spiritual, new birth. A
person is born anew by the Holy Spirit of God ONLY in
response to one's faith in THE GOSPEL of the Lord Jesus
Christ.

What Is The Gospel?
(excellent teaching by Dr. Harry Ironside,
1876-1951)
Ye must be
born-again (John 3:5)! If you've never done so,
please come right now as an acknowledged SINNER, and
trust upon the dear SAVIOR Who died for our sins on the
cross, was
buried and bodily raised-up 72 hours later. It's that
simple to be saved. You don't have to give up anything
to be saved. Jesus gave up everything so we could be
redeemed. Anyone who receives (trusts) Christ's
sacrifice on the cross as full-payment for their sins,
believing that He raised up from the dead the third day
as their heavenly High Priest, has
eternal life. Christ died, that's history; Christ died
for me, that's salvation! If we repent by acknowledging
our guilty condition as a sinner (Romans 3:19, that is,
our SINNERSHIP), believing on the crucified and risen Lord
Jesus Christ for forgiveness, then we are saved
immediately, irrevocably and eternally (Romans 10:13;
Revelation 22:17; Acts 10:43; Acts 4:10-12; John 3:16-18).
WHY BE BORN AGAIN?
(an awesome
MP3
sermon by Dr. Jack Hyles,
1926-2001)
If you'd like to be
saved, then simply acknowledge that you have sinned
against the holy God of the Bible (Romans 3:19-20 - All
Scriptures quoted from the trustworthy King James
Bible). Receive Christ's death upon the cross,
burial and bodily resurrection as payment for YOUR SINS
(1st Corinthians 15:1-4, the Gospel). Make the Gospel
your personal hope for Heaven and you are saved
immediately, irrevocably and eternally! It's simple to
be saved. Jesus died in our place on the cross, paying a
debt of sin that He did not owe, because we owed a debt
of sin that we could not pay (2nd Corinthians 5:21).
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's
best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.
God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved, He
will only save those who are trusting to be saved.
John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

They are fact! Please pay careful attention to the year
1962.
This is the year of The Supreme Court Ruling in the case of ENGEL v. VITALE. The
year that prayer was removed from our schools,

1963—The
year that our tax dollars began paying for the brainwashing of
our children.
