Comments Off on The Philippian Jailer’s Belief

Free-gracers readily point to the salvation of the Philippian jailer (Acts 16:25-40) as a proof text for their easy-believism doctrine. But notice what Acts 16:31-32 says after the jailer trembled and asked how he could be saved: They said, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.’ 32 And […]

In the following video, Pastor Jorge Mendoza warns, Many people hear this and don’t respond. Maybe you’ve heard it all your life and haven’t responded.

In an appropriate follow-up from yesterday’s post, Testimony of Regeneration, Wretched provides the below excerpt from Paul Washer regarding the view that being morally upright saves a person.

One only has to take a brief survey of the American church landscape to clearly see how far gone is the visible church.  Whether it’s messages of health, wealth, and prosperity, purpose-driven mania, or man-centered foolishness, or churches saturated with liberalism, postmodernism, or paganism, the church visible is fatally ill.  This country boasts 85% of […]
