Are you there yet? Have you accepted Jesus and followed Him — in His Way?
Or: are you into a faith that is not honored by God Almighty? …in your own way. This is a serious thing. Many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world. You may be into one.
Just as easily as chocolate changes milk, our faith can easily be changed toward… something other than Jesus’ salvation. If you bake bread with strychnine, you change the dough to evil. What once saved through Jesus, is now not the same faith – and it does not save you.
There is no other saving gospel
As sure as eating or drinking something with strychnine added, which kills, just so, apostates change true salvation in Christ — into a false version of Christ’s Word, and you’re dead – eternally. They look good, smile good, smell good… but they are into a counterfeit faith.
Will your faith take you where you want to go? Think about this carefully.
Those false teachers change Jesus’ Gospel so dramatically… to where you can’t be saved by practicing that false faith. Their so-called Christian practice is actually not Christian. It is contrary to the teachings of Jesus and His disciples (and Paul). They are practicing sin – not following Christ.
Stay within God’s Limits…true to God’s Word
If you want to stay with God
stay within the limits of God’s Word.
His “limits” for us — are actually quite expansive
— wonderful beyond imagination.
After all — God is a wonderful blend of
dynamic power, Colossians 1:16, Ephesians 6:12, Romans 8:38
immense love, John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Ephesians 2:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 1 John 4:10, Revelation 1:5
divine forces, Romans 8:38-39
and human transcendence 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:1.
It is He that has saved us 2 Timothy 1:9
not we ourselves not “because of any personal merit”
Salvation is not through works we do
— lest any person should boast in Heaven
about how good they were to get there.
We are saved through grace and sheer mercy
through faith
– not just any kind of faith, but
a faith of the same kind taught by Jesus.
Paul was adamant about following Jesus only. See this in 2 Peter 1:1. Are you following “a faith of the same kind as ours”, as he said? Paul wrote to truly saved followers…
2 Peter 1:1
“…To those
who have [b]received and possess
[by God’s will]
a precious faith
of the [c]same kind as ours,
by the righteousness of
our God and Savior, Jesus Christ…”
Dig Deep:
God does not honor other faiths. He only honors a faith “of the same kind as ours“, Paul wrote 2 Peter 1:1. Which type is yours?

You’ve got mail! A message from God the Father…He sent us a message.
Getting Right With God…He tells us how to get right with Him.
The message of salvation spoken by Jesus to Paul…Good News from God Almighty
Jesus can save your soul for all eternity…the best Good News
Pure Gospel – nothing added, nothing taken out…Jesus’ Gospel
God spoke through prophets and Jesus – the greatest of all
Long before His birth prophets spoke of Jesus the Messiah
The Godman Jesus Said “Follow Me”
You are all wrong, Jesus said – Matthew 22:verse 29
Jesus said, “These Scriptures are all about me!”
The Better Way brought by Jesus
Limited Thinking Excerpt: So, you are thinking? That’s a good thing! And those thoughts are – what? They are your thoughts? Have you been able to get past your own thinking – and think with God and His expressed thoughts?
“…Don’t fool yourself
by your limited thinking.”
– Swift’s Amped-up Paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
This is Salvation in Christ – Acts 17:30-31. Excerpt: It’s a very simple message from God, actually – what He expects of us. His message is to all of us — us sinful, willful, rebellious, self-centered creatures: Acts 17:30-31 “…seek God’s purpose for their lives“
Salvation in Christ is beyond huge
What being “saved” means Excerpt: Getting Saved by God
Getting saved is absolutely necessary for each of us puny humans. Why? Because God is Holy, and we are not (Isaiah 53:6).
Ever thought on that? We are the opposite of holy. We are abjectly unholy. Vile when put to the Light.
Raise your hand if you you think you are (“holy”) sinless! –You’re deluded!
Imagine what “being saved” has meant to you
Faith and works…We are not saved by what we do, but what we do evidences who we follow.
Being saved means forever never again condemned
God has promised – I will never, no never, leave you
My salvation is “beyond the reach of change”
Your Inheritance by God is secured by God
You cannot lose what God keeps secured for us
What it means to walk in the Light, not in Darkness
Will your faith take you where you want to go?
Useless faith is exactly that – useless…a faith that is not honored by God Almighty?
Delusion is absolutely irrational, stupid and foolish
Fake faith gets you nowhere you want to be…Serious thing.
What Liberal Religion gets you
Outward religion but inward… everything unclean – (Matthew 23:27-29; Luke 11:47-48; Romans 3:13)
Excerpt: We are warned by the Apostle Paul and Matthew about the days when many will practice religion to look good, but inwardly… they are “full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.” This you?
Jesus’ Way that truly works versus the false way of NAR-Charismatics that does not work whatsoever…whatsoever
About biblical inerrancy…All of it
Biblical Inerrancy and Bart D. Ehrman
What is “sound doctrine” and what is “a different doctrine”?
Salvation. True version – False version
Changing what Jesus started – to where it doesn’t save you
Will your faith take you where you want to go?
Weird Unbiblical NAR Beliefs – 1 Timothy 4:1-2 Excerpt:
What are your Christian beliefs like? Do you want to be “unbiblical“, supposedly following what Jesus taught – but not? Want to be…truly into errant beliefs? Have beliefs antithetical to the Bible?
NAR-types have changed what Jesus started, and turned His Christianity into something different — “a different gospel“, not of God. Do you follow that? Yikes!
Changing what God started…Charismatics changed the message
2 Timothy 4:3 “For the time will come
when they will not listen
to the sound doctrine,
but having itching ears,
will heap up for themselves
teachers after their own lusts”
What is “sound doctrine” and what is “a different doctrine”? – 1 Timothy 6:3-5 Excerpt:
The only Gospel that saves us for all eternity — is the unadulterated Gospel of Jesus. Jesus is the Godman who was born a “Godman-baby”, lived as the Godman for 33 years, died as the Godman, and rose from the dead because He was the Godman.
There is no other saving gospel Excerpt: …a study of Galatians 1:6-9
What “gospel” are you into? The Bible says there is no other gospel that saves us for all eternity – except the original Gospel of the early church apostles. None. “Ninguna”.
Are you in an apostate church? Do you really want to go there? They have changed the Gospel into their own distorted gospel. Theirs is very different from the Bible’s. And only the Bible Gospel saves. Do you really want a not-saving faith?
What false prophets are like…They look good, smile good, smell good, but….
