The Erosion of truth is now upon us....

[lismore]

However, if one sins willfully, never repents, and yet twenty years ago said the prayer that "accepted Jesus into his life", somehow, that man can still have total confidence that he will hear "Well done, though good and faithful servant" is ludicrous.

Maybe those people are differentiating between salvation (which is by grace) and a believer's reward (which is by works).

There are five crowns in scripture that a believer can receive as a reward for works, these can be forfeited, salvation itself though cannot.

"The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Saviour from hell rather than a Saviour from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness."-A. W. Pink

What kind of preaching do we want to hear? A life hid in Christ fears no preacher!

That is an awesome quote, and so accurate.
