True faith in Christ will always lead to a changed life

"Easy believism is a somewhat derogatory term used by opponents of the view that one needs only to believe in Jesus in order to be saved. From this they conclude that those who hold to sola fide (“faith alone”) teach that no corresponding need exists for a committed life of Christian discipleship as proof of salvation; however, that is not what sola fide means. True faith in Christ will always lead to a changed life. Another common usage of the term easy believism is in regards to those who believe they’re saved because they prayed a prayer—with no real conviction of sin and no real faith in Christ. Praying a prayer is easy—thus the term easy believism —but there is more to salvation than mouthing words." Ref (L)

We have to go by the words of the Lord Jesus Christ. Revelation is about the future and what he's going to say on the day of judgement. He's going to tell people he never knew them and to get away from him as he knows not whom they are nor where they're from. Matthew 7:23 They are lawless. They don't obey him. They're most likely worldly and deceived. They most likely hate their brothers and sisters and are blind.

You know I was watching Justin Peters and he was talking about Benny Hinn. And that he said he repented of the prosperity Gospel. But Justin doesn't think it's authentic. They accuse him of false miracles and the prosperity Gospel. I did see Justin's video coverage of Benny's repentance. That's one thing but the true walk the world despises. That's the very truth and nature of the matter. They have made the house of God house of merchandise. John 2:16 has been given to me over and over again. It shows up everywhere at all times. Why? Because it's true.

 

 

Update on Benny Hinn's 

Repentance

There are a lot of preachers and teachers in the world. There are some very exceptional ones. Some of them seem to have the Holy Ghost and seem dedicated to what they do. It doesn't mean in the end that they are any closer to Christ than someone else even if it appears so. Only God could know the heart. Yes I know the Bible says to test the spirits to see if they are from God. 1 John 5: 1-5 But even in doing so many fail to understand what that truly means.

 

If you claim to be in Christ and in the world at the same time then you are a hypocrite. There is scripture that is simplistic and there is scripture that is not. None of us are perfect and the Bible does instruct that a man be studied and show himself approved unto God. 2 Timothy 2:15 You could always learn and never come to the knowledge of the truth. We're not robots as we are human and we have the spirit given to us by God. God is the author of life and not us. He has told us by his son being the Lord Jesus Christ that a man must be born again. John 3:3 If you can't obey the lord on Earth then how are you going to obey  in eternity.

 

The truth is that when you have a circumcised heart and you are in Christ and you obey him then you're his sheep/disciple you must deny yourselves. Matthew 16:24.

Some Christians say that the true way that the world despises is  very, very exclusive. You see that's why the disciples or the apostles asked the Lord if it's that hard in essence then who could be saved. What was his reply? With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26 God knows how to save people.

 

When Paul was talking about the simplicity that is in Christ he was talking/making reference about the Corinthians or perhaps even some other group and how teachings seeped in that were in essence abominations. The worship of Angels and sexually problems that came into the church. He wasn't talking about salvation. See : Simon Magus

 

You know Jesus said but the poor will have the gospel preached unto them. Matthew 11:5 What is the use if they never surrender? How do you know they won't surrender? I'm talking about coming to faith in Christ. God knows how to save people

 

Ephesians 2: 8-9

"For by grace are you saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.”

 

"So we see that faith, given as a gift by God, is what saves us. But the next verse tells of the results of that salvation: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Rather than being saved by some easy act of our own wills, we are saved by the hand of God Almighty, by His will and for His use. We are His servants, and from the moment of salvation by faith, we embark on a journey of pre-ordained good works that are the evidence of that salvation." Ref (L)

Some of this came from research and from the things in such as parables that Christ taught in his given time/ministry. He said when you have done it unto the least of these then you have done it unto me. He was angry at the Pharisees because they laid heavy burdens on men's shoulders. They also shut up the Kingdom of heaven for others and to themselves. You're not saved by religious rituals which many are abominations. Many people have idols and bow and pray to them. A picture is worth a thousand words. Not that I will include that here.

 

How long does it take to be saved. It's not a long process although it might take people a long time to get to that date or that day. But then what about baptism. Why is it so hard for people to get baptized. I mean they have time for everything else but not time to REALLY care about the lord Jesus Christ. He was baptized and so should you be.

Believe me I do see that when you extend a hand to help people they throw it back into your face and misunderstand. Are there worldly people in the body of Christ? Are there prosperity teachers or preachers in the body of Christ? Are there liars in the body of Christ? Are there people that are not born again in the body of Christ? Is anybody not covered by the blood in the body of Christ? It's by his stripes that we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24) Without the shedding of blood there would be no forgiveness for sins.

 Matthew 26:28

King James Version

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

1 Corinthians 11:3

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

How many Christians truly understand that? The gospel says not to condemn. Christians are famous for such. The gospel says that the measure you use will be used against you. Christians do this and then they claim to be in Christ. Easy believism. I never knew you. I know not hence you are.

 Billy Graham said this!

 

"There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works they are going to Heaven." The term "easy believism" has been used by many others as well to describe the negative concept of those who believe in the easy parts of Christianity but not the full message of the Gospel or biblical teachings.

You cannot be in the world and in Christ at the same time. (Hypocrite) How can you go forwards and backwards at the same time? YOU MUST DENY YOURSELF
