I don't think any of these churches preach salvation without Christ. They acknowledge the work of Jesus on the cross. They also stress on the importance of obedience to God in your daily living. This is not implying self righteousness.

They acknowledge that when you believe Christ, your soul is saved but not your flesh and your carnal nature will constantly be at war with the spirit of God in you. But you have to "crucify" it by choosing to obey the will of God for every situation. ie, be honest instead of lieing, refuse to fall into lust, don't react in anger, etc... That isn't self righteousness, you're just obeying God because you know you're now surrendered to Jesus and a child of God..

Concerning what you said above. Most work based salvation preachers do not preach their gospel the way you did. They preach that good deed and righteous living is what save someone. They preach that when a believer sin is no longer saved. They preach that when a be liver sin, he's hell bound. They sometimes come up with visions, dreams or near death experiences where they see certain believer in hell for stupid reasons. I remember a story I read were a christian woman made hell cos she refused to tell her neughour she collected few sticks of matches from the box after borrowing it. I've read one where a Christian man didn't make heaven cos he attended church late and died later that day. I've read one where a woman made hell cos she didn't pay tithe. I've even read one where the man died and made hell cos he went to work on Sunday instead of going to church. All these are dreams and visions and gospels authored by the devil.

I as a grace preacher will never condone sin or encourage it in any way.

The days, weeks , u ,months & years originated from God,(Gen 1:14,15) . But at different times, men named them according to their culture & beliefs (God's people, the Jews had theirs too.) .
In this part of the world, the names we call each day such as "Monday, Tuesday, Sunday etc, has no religious significance attached to it.

You didn't research like I asked you to do. If you had you'd have known that Sunday, Monday Tuesdays etc and the months of the year all have pagan origins. The Gregorian calendar that is used by most of the western world and most of the planet at large have pagan origins..

Sunday was a day dedicated to the sun.
Monday was dedicated to the moon.
Wednesday was dedicated to the pagan go wodin. popularly known as Odin.
Thursday was a day dedicated to the Norse god Thor.
Friday was dedicated to the pagan goddess frigga.
Saturday was dedicated to the planet Saturn.

Months of the year were dedicated to roman gods, goddesses or emperors.
January for example was dedicated to Janus.
August was dedicated the emperor Augustus. etc.

So my dear friend, the calendar on the wall of your living room have pagan significance attached to it. And unless you burn them you're encouraging pagan customs in your household.

Do your research on the origin of the gregorian calendar which we use.

PraiseDLord:
You and your pastor's ploy to encourage men and women to continue in sin will surely fail by the grace of God.
Use your head now!!!
Was Judas not a disciple ? Ye, even an apostle of Christ at a time! He was one of the seventy sent out by the Lord Himself. He did miracles in Christ's name and also shared his soul winning experience with the Lord. His name was in the book of life then.
However, how did he end up?
Even the Lord said it were better he's not born that betray him and all they will follow the way of backsliding.
If Judas could perish who ate and drank with the Lord and he was even a disciple who left all and follow the Lord, having no other job than to follow the Lord with the rest of the disciples in preaching the gospel ....
Who are you, me or any other person who don't even know physical Jesus , nor have sacrificed next to nothing in comparism with Judas? The Bible is clear - a soul that sinneth shall die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even the Lord said "He that putteth his hand in the plough and then look back is not fit for the kingdom of God!
Don't be deceived, no matter who said anything to the contrary of the biblical injuction shall not stand.
Rather than quoting what men said, why not follow and quote the Bible so that you will not be ashamed at last.
Remember, the Bible says " that which is highly esteemed among men (no matter the title or how highly respected) is abomination in the sight of God!!!

Performing miracles in the name of Christ doesn't mean one is saved. Judas and the rest disciples weren't saved as at the time Jesus was on earth. Jesus had not yet died. His blood had not yet atoned of the sin of man. So Judas didn't lose his salvation. He like the rest weren't saved.

No matter the sacrifice and good works someone does for God, if that person does not believe in the remdemptive power of the blood to set him free from all his sins that person will die and go to hell. His works and sacrifices will be burnt cos they're dead works. Look at Cornelius. He was a good man who does righteous deeds. He gave to the poor and needy. He was a righteous and moral man. But all his works were dead and couldn't save him. That's why God in his mercies decided his works shouldn't be wasted. So he sent Peter through an angel to tell him (Cornelius) about Christ. Cornelius and his households believed in the gospel and then were saved. If he had not believed in. the gospel of Christ, he'd have died and gone to hell despite his good works.

Now let's go back to Judas.
Judas was one of the disciples of Christ. He performed miracles like the rest of the apostles. He sacrificed his home and comfort like the others. But let's be realistic. Judas didn't considered Jesus any thing more than "rabbi". To him, Jesus was nothing more than a teacher. He didn't believe the teachings of Jesus. Remember, Jesus taught that he was going to die for the sins of mankind. Judas was a disciple of Jesus when Jesus quoted John 3:16. But Judas never believed in his teachings.
He didn't believe that even when he betrayed Jesus, he would have still been forgiven.
Judas didn't go to hell because he betrayed Jesus. He went to hell because he didn't believe his sins could be forgiven by Jesus.

Let's look at Peter.
What peter did wasn't so different from what Judas did. If you ask me I'll say Peter commited the greater sin. Peter denied Jesus to his face not once but 3 times. Remember peter was the only disciple that was revealed by God who Jesus really was. Peter knew who Jesus really was. Remember Jesus said "flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you but my father..". Peter was among the disciple who saw the true glory of Jesus during the transfiguration. Peter unlike Judas really knew which Jesus was yet he denied knowing Christ to His face.

But even after this, peter unlike Judas was able to realise that Jesus was capable of forgiveness no matter the sin committed. He belived in Jesus redemption power by his blood and he was saved.

So my brother. Sin isn't what takes a man to hell. Unbelief does. Righteous deeds isn't what takes a man to heaven. Believing in Christ and his works does..

Bless you..

alBHAGDADI:
Read the context to understand what Jesus meant when he said in Mathew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

He was clearly speaking about the end time tribulation. Of you endure it to the end, you shall be saved or delivered. He wasn't talking about you holding onto self-righteousness till the end. If that's what he meant, then he's clearly saying you are the one saving yourself. No, he was talking about the tribulations that Christians will face in the hands of the Antichrist. Read the entire chapter 24 to get the context clearly.

Don't allow anyone to use one single Verse to deceive you.

Permit me to add this.
Whenever you read any verse try to read some verses before and after it so you can get a clearer picture on what the Bible is trying to say and it's context.

Also know that the Bible was written FOR us but not every part was written TO us. Somd part were written to the Jews, some to the gentiles, some to the saved, some to the unsaved, some to the believer that falls into sin.
So make sure you know the intended audience of that passage for proper understanding of what the bible says there..

Note: The Bible seems to contradict itself only in the mind of a lazy Christian..

Christianity Etc › Still On Die By Fire Prayer. by Perfectbeing(op): 10:05pm On Nov 14, 2018

HUMAN/MORTAL DEATH IS NEVER GOD’S TOOL of getting things done
Death is God’s Enemy
1Co 15:26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.
So Death is not an employee of God
Death is not under God’s payroll
So therefore
Any Revival you initiated by killing witches does not Glorify God
Jesus did not send you to use any dubious and devilish Method to win souls at all Cost
See this example
Luk 9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Luk 9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
Luk 9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
Luk 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
Jesus would have said
Good guys
That is right
Let’s pepper them
KILL THEM
Let the Witches die by Fire
That Governor that stopped my crusade will not see tomorrow
I will show them that God truly called me
They don’t know the anointing that I carry
IF I BE A MAN IF GOD
That Herbalist will DIE IN SEVEN DAYS
Sadly, Our Jesus never spoke like this
But what sayest the saviour
Oh
what a loving Jesus we have
Luk 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
Luk 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save [them]. And they went to another village.
MY GUY, IT’S NOT COMPULSORY that every man must like you or approve your Message
Irrespective of the response of the sinner, Don’t INVOKE wrath
Don’t invoke any anti redemptive authority
The Gospel is more than Getting men saved
It also includes teaching men the character Of God
Yes Alot of death happened in the old testament
Jesus reproved that wrath and unforgiveness that Moses taught by deeds and words
Mat 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
…..
This is what Moses once taught
Deu 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; [but] life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
That is serious
Same also here
Lev 24:19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
Jesus corrected Moses
That NO, That was never his will for his children to repay Evil for Evil
Same way, Jesus corrected then about devoice
Mat 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Mat 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Mat 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mat 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Mat 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
That tells us that Some deeds and words of Moses and Elijah are not justified before God
God can save without men harming the opponents
God can give Canaan to Israel without the death of any of those nations
David Got this at a time
Your Enemies don’t have to leave the stage for you to enjoy God’s blessing
Because God wants the Enemy saved too
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Also
Stop saying ‘What if the Enemy refuse to change
How long did you think its ‘Longsuffering?’
Its The Character of God
The fruit of the Spirit that you have
So back to our text now
Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
(those are from (Exo_21:23-25; Lev_24:19-20; Deu_19:21).
Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
So clear
Luk 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.
Luk 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
HIS GOSPEL must be preached by HIS METHOD (Not ours)
The anger of man doesn’t achieve the righteous purpose God.

Christianity Etc › CHARLES SPURGEON On Eternal Security. by Perfectbeing(op): 9:13pm On Nov 14, 2018

Charles Haddon Spurgeon on the eternal security of the believer:
I have heard it said by some preachers, that when the Christian is holy, he is in the covenant; that when he sins, he is crossed out again; that when he repents, he is put in again, and if he fails he is scratched out once more; and so he goes in and out of the door, as he would in and out of his own house.
He goes in at one door and out of another. He is sometimes the child of God, and sometimes the child of the devil—sometimes an heir of heaven, and anon an heir of hell.
And I know one man who went so far as to say that although a man might have persevered through grace for sixty years, yet should he fall away the last year of his life—if he should sin and die so, he would perish everlastingly, and all his faith, and all the love which God had manifested to him in the day’s gone by would go for nothing.
I am very happy to say that such a notion of God is just the very notion I have of the devil.
I could not believe in such a God, and could not bow down before him. A god that loves today and hates tomorrow; a God that gives a promise, and yet foreknows after all that man shall not see the promise fulfilled; a God that forgives and punishes—that justifies and afterwards executes—is a God that I cannot endure.
He is not the God of the Scriptures I am certain, for He is immutable, just, holy, and true, and having loved his own, He will love them to the end, and if He hath given a promise to any man, the promise shall be kept, and that man once in grace, is in grace forever, and shall without fail by-and-by enter into glory

I think you're making some sense. Those blind, leprous, paralysed and dead folks didn't need any miracles from Jesus too.. Jesus should have just showed blind Bartimeus some love. He'd have just educated him and left him blind even though he had the power to make him see..

Having compassion on blind bartimeus isn't an act of love but hate. Jesus hated every one he healed and raised from the dead.

Same with Peter, Paul and the other apostles. They had no love in them that's why they healed the people they healed..

Then you are working against Jesus and his redemption plan. And don't forget You at least have Once be an enemy of someone before. Can't we at least copy Jesus? Why we are Yet sinners, Christ died for us He didn't murder us. And on the other way If it's spirit you are referring to Then you are confusing saints Spirits don't die Jesus NEVER told anyone of them to die So why this Prayer slang? Who should FALL DOWN AND DIE? .....Additional information..... No where in the Bible were prayer points made about demons On demons Believers cast out demons Not pray against demons.

God?

or he did not work out his salvation with fear and trembling?

Those the ones that profess Christ but never quite believed in his redemptive work of salvation. Those are the ones that called him lord but never made him the true lord of their lives. The ones that prophesied and casted out devils using his name and authority but never believed he died for their sins. Those that did many wonderful and good works on earth but never believed He took away their sins. To them, Jesus will profess that he never knew them. He isn't lying when he says this. He actually never knew them cos from the beginning, they actually never believed in him. They never believed in his power to save. In this case they were never saved from the beginning..

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Christianity Etc › On Sprinkling The Blood by Perfectbeing(op): 8:47am On Nov 14, 2018

ON SPRINKLING THE BLOOD
The reason most Christians argue against eternal salvation and eternal forgiveness of sins is because they have used the blood to do every mundane thing that it is not meant for that they can't believe the same blood can forgive sins forever
When you have used the blood to wipe your windscreen
cover your tires
cover the road
to bathe
drank it as Zobo
used it for feet washing
used it to fight enemies and sprinkle on demons
used it to cover your money
used it as blood money charm
used it for your house and your goods in the market....
After using it for all these physical and carnal things how will you not argue that it can forgive sins forever?
How can the same blood you pour as Fanta into your cup every day along with biscuits to eat as communion be potent enough to forgive your sins past, present and future?
How can the same blood you finish on your goods in the market and on the highway today and tomorrow you need to plead a fresh one have the ability to forgive sins forever?
You are used to renewing it every day
The one you used to cover the road yesterday has expired
You need fresh one today for your journey
The one of last night has expired
How can the same blood now be eternal to save you once and save you forever?
It's all carnality walking the earth in the cloak of spirituality
It's all ignorance and carnality walking the earth!

But why did he say STRIVE TO ENTER? This statement alone negates everything you wrote here. Remember in one of your comments you quoted Paul in his letter to the Romans "shall we continue in sin and say grace should abound? Certainly not" so going by this you have your role to play. Jesus also said that "every word that men speak they will account for on the day of judgement Mathew 12:37. I put it to you that if words would be judged then actions would be judged too. Bro stop deceiving yourself and others here we all are responsible for whatever we do here on earth. Jesus offers us salvation freely but we must act in accordance with all his terms which includes holy living. Living a holy life is a painstaking effort it takes a lot of discipline to live rightly because we are still human but it can be achieved. God is a merciful God yes but we must always remember that this same God is the God of justice.

In my comment about Paul's letter "shall we continue in sin.." did you read it to the end to get what I was saying?

Salvation for us is as simple as accepting what God has already accepted -the death of Jesus as payment in full for all our sins. Jesus’ death in our place as our substitute, satisfied the justice of God. Salvation is as simple as swapping your sins for God's righteousness. He takes your sins - you take His righteousness. You become Holy and perfect in his eyes.

“For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ Hebrews 13:5.

This is an unconditional statement made by Jesus. It is without any terms and conditions.

“I will never leave you…”— not for any reason; not my sin, selfishness, stubbornness, nor waywardness.

It has never been about me but about Him. Never about my actions but about his Love. His unconditional love for me..

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them."
(Luke 11: 44)

But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. "
(Luke 11: 42)

They could pay tithes of anything... but they omit weightier matters of LAW, MERCY, FAITH AND LOVE...
They were not righteous, they were not justified.

So, when Jesus said that unless our righteousness is more than that of a Pharisee, we will not enter the kingdom of God..

He is talking about professing love for him and not doing his will...

God bless you.

I wasn't trying to justify them. The law justified them.

Paul kept the law when he persecuted the church. He was so zealous in keeping the law.

Phil 3:6; I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.
The law justified his acts.

He obeyed the law without fault yet he still counted it as loss to Christ.
Verse 7; But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

Paul was a pharisee before his conversion. He considered the righteousness of the law garbage. The only righteousness God wants from us is that of faith in Jesus. Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law.

Gal 2:16; And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law."

Even if the pharisee had obeyed the weightier matters of the law, they still wouldn't have been in right standing with God.
