We all need Biblical assurance of our salvation. Suppose you have doubts because of the lifestyle you are living. We cannot trust ourselves to whether we are saved, we must go to the Word of God to determine God’s will and His sure-fire test of how we can know we are saved. It’s what God’s […]

Comments Off on Emergence Christianity – Denial of Hell

By Justin Edwards Before we delve deeper into the intricacies of the Emergent Church, which has now morphed into Emergence Christianity, I want to share a glimpse of their destructive, heretical doctrines – the rejection of hell as a literal, physical place.

By Mike Ratliff Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were […]

Comments Off on The Word was God, the Word is God
