God wants us all to be saved. But He requires we back up our talk with our walk. Are you a posing as Christian? Got the Chutzpah of a Wannabe? Are you living for Jesus, or for …something else?
Quick Quiz – What are we to do habitually…according to Jesus?
Doing anything habitually is quite a challenge. We must really truly want to! What are we to do “habitually” – according to Jesus?
“This is a fight we’re in”
“This is a fight we’re in.” This is not a walk in the park. This experience of living on earth is a test. That’s how the Bible puts it. I do not plan to arrive at the pearly gates with my clothes burning and smokin’! I’m a workin’ more on myself. Got a lot to do still!
Was your confession accepted by God?
No matter how devout – have you considered the possibility that Jesus has rejected you? I want you to get it right. And by “right”, I mean — get truly saved according to what Jesus and the Bible say. Want to reconsider things? Are you dealing with God in error, with an unrepentant heart? God deals in Truth. What are you thinking?
Old Sarge Comments on Charismatic practices
We need great discernment about the NAR-type Charismatic churches such as Bethel in Redding, California. “Charismatics need a better hermeneutic as much is not based on good interpretation of a passage.” Do you want God’s message, or your own?
Verify Jesus. Verify, verify, verify
There is an immense amount of “Fraudulent truth” out there (as in “erroneous”). It is pervasive, threatening to inundate “real truth”. What difference does it make? Are you discerning the difference?
Put down sinners… with compassion and love?
We are all so sinful. Incomplete. But there are many today who say sin is irrelevant. They say they are not sinning. How odd. Sinning is so common. I sin. You sin. What’s with this?
The Great Water Down of Jesus’ Message to us all
Watering down the message of Jesus leaves one with no salvation at all. Is your faith the real thing – straight from Jesus through Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul? Anything less will not get you through the Pearly Gates.
Coming from God?
Are you prone to claiming “God gave me these words to share”?
Are you filthy or beautified?
I for one do not want to arrive in God’s Courts with filthy rags on, stinking of sin – before the God of the Universe. How ’bout you? Do you wear filthy robes – or have you been beautified with rich robes of forgiveness? God is able to take away all your past sinfulness — and place you in good standing with Him. No matter how grave your sin, no matter how long you sinned, no matter. No problem. He is able.
It’s all about Christ
There is nothing more pressing, nothing more important at any time in your life – than to “be right with Christ”.
What is necessary to be saved
Folks! You can NOT fake it with God. He knows your heart. Faking = Still lost. You can talk like/smell like/pray like/look like/act like/dress like/preach like/give money like/claim church membership like/go to church like… but if your heart is not genuinely His, “with all your heart…”, then you are not saved. You are a God damned “believer”. ‘You must be born again.’
The Bethel Johnson’s Unbiblical Teachings
Have you studied the Bible enough to know what is biblical? Do you care enough to study the Bible so you recognize unbiblical ways, in order to stay faithful to God? Or are you unfaithful to God, wandering further away from God’s truth, further into heresies?

Simple View of Life
Creator God is holy: He cannot abide with less, anywhere.So, way back in time, God of Heaven created a Plan of the Ages. From the very start – He knew we would fail to be the people of perfection He wanted. So, even before the actual creation, He had a plan as to how He could legally forgive sinners. His own Son would become a legal “stand-in” to take our place in Heaven’s courtroom.And the rest is history!
Following Someone
Are you ready to meet your Maker? Have you considered the possibility that someday God might reject you? Do you truly “follow” Him?
