If your apostate church is using the modern
manmade Bible versions, then you are teaching for doctrines the commandments
of men. YOU ARE WORSHIPPING GOD IN VAIN. This means you will receive no
rewards from God in Heaven. This means that God is not pleased with you. This
means that you have been woefully deceived. This means you are not saved if
you think that the act of departing from sinful living had a part in your
salvation. I dare say 97% of churchgoers today are not saved. Evangelist Paul
Washer calls the Romans Road “a manipulative practice.” You see, Mr. Washer
believes that a person must persevere in holy living if they are really saved.
So anyone who professes faith in Christ, but does not walk “the narrow way” of
holy living, is said by Mr. Washer not to be saved at all.
Beware of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (this is
where Paul Washer gets his
Calvinism).
Something that I've noticed, which is a
disturbing trend, are pastors who accept all sorts of different plans of
salvation, and don't see a problem with any of them. Thus, we hear some people
say to “trust Jesus” to be saved. Others say that you need to “start a
relationship with the Lord” to be saved. Others teach that you cannot be saved
unless you forsake a lifestyle of sin. Then there are those who say that you
must “be willing to turn away from the sins you've been committing,” or else
God won't save you, in spite of any faith you may have in the Gospel. I could
literally list a hundred more variations of how religious leaders say we get
to Heaven. May I say, all of the aforementioned teachings are of the Devil.
None of them will produce the new birth by the Holy Spirit of God. Trusting
Jesus and starting a relationship with Christ are not the Gospel.
So what is
the Gospel? Also, please read, “What
Is The Gospel?” (by Pastor Harry Ironside, 1876-1951).
The bad news is that we are all guilty sinners in
God's holy eyes, because we have broken His commandments. We have sinned
against a holy God. The “Gospel” is the Good News that Jesus is our Savior, Who
died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and then He
bodily raised up (resurrected) three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).
This is the Gospel message, by which if you simply believe it, you are
immediately born-again and eternally secure. Salvation is a new birth (a
second, spiritual, birth). It is not a process. Being born again is a
supernatural miracle of God in response to a person's faith in the Gospel.
Tragically, many (and I mean many) people in churches today are living the
Christian life, but they have never been born-again by the Holy Spirit of God,
and are still hellbound in their sins. For a wonderful book on this very
topic, please read, I NEVER KNEW
YOU: THE COMING GREAT WHITE THRONE OF JUDGMENT AND HOW YOU CAN AVOID IT!
(.pdf book by Michael P. Bowen).
If TO BE SAVED you believe that you have to forsake the world, cease from
sinful bad habits, surrender all to Christ, commit yourself to Him, confess
Christ before men, or anything along those lines, then sadly YOU ARE
WORSHIPPING GOD IN VAIN! The Gospel is good news to be believed, not a
religious program to be obeyed. Eternal life is a free gift, which you simply
TAKE to possess. That's it! The Devil is deliberately confusing everybody
today, especially in the churches, by bringing in all these new and supposedly
“Easier-To-Read” Bible
versions. What good is a Bible that's easier to read, which has been changed
from God's holy Words into the commandments of men? Check this out, see for
yourself how ALL
the new Bible versions attack the deity of Jesus Christ.
The thing that frustrates me the most are all the
tens-of-thousands of deadbeat pastors who couldn't care less. When I hear the
shallow singing about Jesus on a religious radio station, I feel like
vomiting, because I know that the people singing are just going along with
whatever they've been taught, and don't think for themselves, wholeheartedly
and ignorantly going along with the New World Order!!! They do so by using the
modern Alexandrian Bible revisions.
They do so by supporting
modern-day manmade Israel which was founded in 1948 by the Illuminati.
They do so by promoting the
heresy of
Lordship Salvation, which is not the Gospel. Why don't pastors care? How
could a man of God be so indifferent toward truth and evil? Our churches today
have become affluent, missing the power of the Holy Spirit, having dead
pulpits with no real fundamentalist Bible preaching. God forgive us!
The major manmade doctrine in today's corrupted
versions is the heresy of
Lordship Salvation. This demonic doctrine teaches that it is insufficient
to realize one's sinnership and believe the Gospel to be saved, but also, the
person must wilfully and intentionally turn away from all evil activities in
their life to be saved. This false idea comes from the corrupt Bible versions,
which change the meaning of “repentance” from a simple “change of mind,” to a
complicated “change of life” to be
saved. I don't care how big your church is. You may have 25,000 members. You
may have millions-of-dollars a year in income. You may have a big religious
school with 7,000 students. You may be admired, accepted, invited and popular
all across the planet. But if you are promoting and using the modern manmade
PERverted Bible versions, which confuse people and lead them astray from the
truth of God's Word, you are God's enemies!!! You are in fact pulling on the
same rope as the Devil. Jesus said that you are WORSHIPPING GOD IN VAIN.
All of the modern versions teach the lie of
Lordship Salvation, requiring in Romans 10:9-10 that a person audibly say,
“Jesus is Lord” to be saved. This is superstition, not the simplicity that is
in Christ (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). We read about a group of religious idiots
and Independent Baptist fools in Matthew 7:21-23, who honored the Lord with
their lips, and they did many wonderful works with their hands, and they made
sure to preach everywhere they went in Jesus' name; yet THEY ALL WENT TO HELL
TO BURN!!!
They said “Jesus is Lord,” “Jesus is Lord,” just
like the satanic Easy-To-Read Version says in Romans 10:9-10, but they failed
to do the will of the Father. John 6:40 plainly tells us what the will
of the Father in Heaven is, “And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” So
you go ahead and keep telling people that God won't save them unless they stop
living in their deliberate sinful ways, which is not the will of the Father
concerning salvation, and you will spend eternity burning in the Lake of Fire
with those you have deceived.
At the point in which a church, pastor or
Christian leader starts using and promoting the modern corrupted Bible
versions (like the ERV and NIV), they are now pulling on the same rope as the
Devil. When that pastor and church start teaching the manmade doctrine of
Lordship Salvation, they are now leading people into Hell, fire and damnation
by teaching a false plan of salvation. They are WORSHIPPING GOD IN VAIN. They
run their mouths about how good God is, they sing “Holy, Holy, Holy” with
their tongues, they honor God with their lips, but THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM
HIM, because Jesus said in John 4:24 that God can only be worshipped in SPIRIT
and in TRUTH. When a church body succumbs to manmade doctrines, they have
abandoned THE TRUTH, and are no longer worshipping God as they ought. Since
they are not saved, they have religion instead of the HOLY SPIRIT. How can
they worship God? Yes, many of our churches (including Independent Baptist
churches) today are WORSHIPPING GOD IN VAIN, unwittingly going along with the
Luciferian New World Order, Luciferian Bible versions and a Luciferian false
plan of salvation.
Serving God “IN VAIN” means that you are wasting your time, because God is not
going to bless you (or is no longer blessing you). You are in fact, pulling on
the SAME ROPE AS THE DEVIL. So why would God bless you? Our text Bible verse
warns that those who substitute men's commandments in place of God's
commandments are worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ IN VAIN.
