I also thought of something about some of these new doctrines such as baptism is necessary for salvation, you must speak in tongues, do good works, tithe 10%, belong to a certain church or organization, etc. IF that were true, how do you explain the salvation of the thief on the cross? Every denomination says God gives you to your last breath to accept Him and you will be saved. How then can they get baptized, speak in tongues, do good works, give money or do anything of himself to be saved? NOTHING! That right there proves these theories false. Oh, I know the verse you'll quote...God will have mercy on whom He will have mercy and compassion on whom He shall have mercy. Well, without His mercy and compassion, I contend nobody is getting into Heaven. We are saved by GRACE. Remember the harshness when someone offered to buy the gifts of the Spirit? If we have to earn our way into Heaven by good works, tithing, etc., how much money do I have to give? What if I'm not given the GIFT of tongues (although anyone can speak in an unknown languages...twins do that all the time) because the Spirit didn't give me that gift but gave me the gift of discernment or mercy? Am I any less saved? Even Jesus said that when judged, many will say Lord! Lord! and He will tell them to depart, that He never knew them. So how much do I have to do until I've "bought and/or earned" my way into Heaven? Jesus Christ said in John 3:16 that whosever believeth in His Name SHALL be saved. I believe Jesus, not man. If Jesus Christ's blood that was shed on the Cross was insufficient for salvation, then He died in vain. Your doctrine are clouds without water.
If you want your ears tickled, use a feather. If you want to be born-again and have eternal life, read the Bible and learn the truth through the Word of God and not man!
Follow Jesus Christ and His commandments. He is our authority. The only true church is the Body of Christ. Did the Apostles build a building? No. They assembled together and were of one voice and one accord. How can we stand if we are divided? Be yet not deceived and know how to spot a false prophet. God bless!
GOD BLESS AND BE A GOOD STEWARD BY SHARING THE TRUE GOSPEL OF SALVATION!
