Thy Word is Truth

There are many false teachings that circulate around and through Christendom and it concerns me deeply. Many churches and preachers are teaching and preaching false doctrine. As a result, people are not hearing the TRUTH and are dying and going to Hell. It's sad to hear this but it is so true.

I am just amazed at the boldness of the enemy. Satan has taken Christianity and has added somethings and deleted somethings to make it look like it is Truth but it is not Truth. Everything that is written in God's Word is Truth. We don't have to add to it or take away from it to make it true, It is TRUTH all by itself. (John 17:17) "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." Satan is destined for Hell. He cannot go to Heaven, so his goal is to get as many people possible to go to Hell with him. Some people just decide to sell their souls to the Devil and others are decieved in church my preachers that don't preach Truth. Some people just fail to make a decision so serve God, but really being indecisive is a decision in itself.

So in his mission to gather as many people possible to live eternity in the lake that burns with fire, Satan has created a replicar of everything God has. God built a Church (The CHURCH), then Satan built a replicar. God sent Preachers that will preach Repentance, Water Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost and living a Holy and Seperate life unto the Lord, then Satan sent preachers that will preach the opposite. Satan even has a replicar of the Holy Ghost. This is why it is so important that people get into the Word and diligently search the Scriptures, so that we can be aware of the false.
  • (II Peter 3:17) "Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness." 
  • (Hebrews 11:6) "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." 
  • (Jeremiah 29:13) "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
If you are wondering some of these false doctrines, I will share a few with you. We were teaching a home bible study to few people and some of these false teachings came up that they were being taught. As a preacher of the Truth, I had to address and come against these doctrines. So here they are, in brief.
  1. (Getting saved and getting the Holy Ghost is two different steps.) - This is FALSE!!! There is no such thing as getting saved before you get the Holy Ghost. (Romans 8:9) "......Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Realisticly, no one is saved until we make it to Heaven, but if you want to use that word, You are not saved until you receive the Holy Ghost like in the second chapter of The Book of Acts.
  2. (Being baptized in three titles Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) - This is FALSE!!! Matthew 28:19 tells us to "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." NOTICE that name here is singular. That name that is above every name is JESUS. This is why the apostle Peter preached in Acts 2:38 "....Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 4:12) "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
  3. (Once saved always saved) - This is FALSE!!! In that study, these people informed me that their pastor teaches them that after you are saved, you can go out and commit sin and still be saved. (Romans 6:1-2) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (Matthew 1:21) "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their SINS. We don't continue in sin. Acts 2:38. We repent of our sins, this means to completely turn away from. We are baptized in water by immersion in the NAME of JESUS Christ for the remission or washing away of those sins. (Romans 12:1) "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, HOLY, and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable servie."
  4. (The Trinity - Three persons in Godhead) - This is FALSE!!! There are not three persons that make up God, but there are threes manifestations of God. No such thing as a trinity. (Deuteronomy 6:4) "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one Lord:" The phrase "God the Father" refers to God Himself and His relationship with Humanity. The phrase "Son of God" refers to God as manifested in the flesh in the person of Jesus Christ for our salvation. God is Holy and He alone is Holy, and God is also a Spirit. Therefore God is the "Holy Spirit" that infills and regenerates us.
