What Are False Gospels? | Theocast 

AMEN AND AMEN AND AMEN AND AMEN AND AMEN AND AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!!!

I have tried a lot to earn salvation before because of Lordship salvation. They always ask to repent from sin or turn away from sin first inorder to receive salvation. Some preacher would go to the extend "If God is not Lord of one, He is Lord of none." I had depression and anxiety because of this. Most probably I was unable to be perfect. Always doubting, always fighting and scared. According to Jesus even hating is murder so how could I ever be saved. There are many things in our hearts that even if we don't act upon it which is very sinful and so I thought I was destined to go to hell. But a friend of mine told me the true gospel now I am resting on Jesus. It's not that I accept sin or sin deliberately. I respond to God's love with love through obedience. There may be times I grieve the Holy Spirit, but I always feel bad if I do and later ask for forgiveness. Even in tough times and even when I struggle with sin, I still know now how to rest in Jesus. Thanks for this message because these days the true gospel is hardly preached and it has even come to a time where the true gospel is considered to be wrong.

Wow! Now this is a very simple but extremely powerful message!! Thank you and thank you!

This really helped me, thank you. I literally transcribed the part you described the true gospel so I can come back and read it. I constantly struggle with assurance but I must say, your videos are a great help. May God bless you and this ministry. My heart hurts for all the people who struggle with what I struggle with, and have no help to break down the walls of what they might be wrongly believing. It really is a work of bewitching, when we start to believe a false gospel.

Galatians 6:14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,

New to reformed theology, it sounds so beautiful that it Christ alone but I'm having trouble believing it's true when I look at other passages in the Bible. It seems like we need to overcome in order to be accepted or be obedient enough.

Amen brother, God's salvation is His from beginning to end in Jesus alone , what great news indeed. Thank brother ;)

Adhering to the "Saved by grace alone" or "Just believe" doctrine while throwing all the other verses out the window is a pretty gutsy move. That would tell me that the apostle Paul was going around, preaching a gospel that goes well beyond "faith alone". Paul said in Galatians 1:9 that everyone is accursed that preaches another gospel than the one he preached. Taking Acts 16:30-31 as the entirety of the bible would tell us that no repentance of any kind is needed for salvation. Acts 16:30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” In addition, only the person asking what he needed to do to be saved would need to "believe". This infers that the rest of his household could be complete atheists, yet would be saved. Are we having a contest to cherry-pick scripture and water down the Word of God until it has absolutely no effect? If so, the entire population of earth should read ONLY Titus 3:5 and see that Jesus already saved us by His mercy and we don't have to do a single thing. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost If we take this one verse literally, without reading any other in the bible, one could come to the conclusion that: 1) They don't even need to "Believe in Jesus" to be saved, because this verse doesn't say anything about belief. 2) They don't need to hear the Word 3) They don't need to read the Word 3) No relationship with God/Jesus/Holy Spirit is needed. 4) Hell is completely empty because everyone already got saved by His "mercy". 5) Sin as much as you want to, because repentance (to turn away from sin) wasn't specifically mentioned in this verse, either. If this is the case, then ask yourself: Why is there even a judgment of man (Revelation 20:12-15)? Why is there a Gospel? And why is there even a Bible? It's as if one has come to the point of saying, "Sorry Jesus, but I'm not going to obey Your Gospel because, after all, obeying is a work." If one is going to take the "minimalist" doctrine to the nth degree, then you should end up with something similar to the above. Take this approach and you will eventually find out that God is NOT playing around. He will not be mocked and ignored. In flaming fire, God will take vengeance on those that do not know Him and do not obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9). The Word of God commands us to make our calling and election "sure", not "minimal" (2 Peter 1:10). It also instructs us to study the word to show ourselves approved (2 Timothy 2:15). The best policy is to read the ENTIRE Word of God for yourself to find out what the TRUE DOCTRINE and TRUE GOSPEL really is and then OBEY that gospel. If you are genuinely seeking God on this topic, He will most definitely fill in the blanks on any questions you have. All you have to do is ask Him in sincerity. When the early disciples preached the Gospel, what did the hearers of that Gospel actually do? 1) They repented. 2) They got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins. 3) They received the Promise of the Father - The baptism of the Holy Ghost. If a person truly BELIEVES the gospel, they will OBEY the gospel. In addition, once that individual experiences the grip of sin unravelling and being removed from their life and the POWER of the Holy Ghost living inside, they will NOT be ashamed of that gospel, even as Paul declared in Romans 1:16. God provided the plan of salvation for all men, women and children when He was under no obligation to do so. This is the very demonstration of His grace and mercy. Arguing against Lordship salvation is not the issue here. The real problem is that one can argue so hard against works that they take it over the edge and completely IGNORE and therefore REJECT the instructions given from the Gospel, stating that those are works as well. THIS IS DECEPTION OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. Do yourself a HUGE favor. Don't take reckless chances with your salvation. OBEY the TRUE GOSPEL.

I think one thing you could’ve added was the word trust, i noticed that you said if we believe it to be true then we’re saved but it’s also by trust or in the heart

Totally encouraged by this. Thank you and may God keep blessing your ministry. Plus, could you pray that your church would want to start one in Orlando, FL. My husband and I are desperate for good teaching down here.

4:17 "we will never stand before the Father and say how good we did" Matthew 7:22 - "On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’" Jesus here talks about the people who believe a false gospel, a works based gospel.

Excellent summary! It is difficult to Guage with some traditions though, like Lutheranism for example. They technically believe you can lose your salvation, but they believe that occurs if you cease to trust/have faith in Christ alone.

I spoke with a woman who said, "I owe God my tithe," and "I owe God my worship." I pushed back on the use of the word "owe", as it leaves the impression that Christ's work on the cross leaves us in debt to him. What are your thoughts?

Once again, this is awesome n much needed. Thanks so much Also, I keep reminding this because I finally understand the GOOD NEWS! Thanku Jesus

The gospel that is taught by many people today has been reduced down to just "faith alone". This false gospel of "faith alone" has made following the commandments of Christ null and void. Obeying His commandments have been eliminated from the gospel and have been made subsequent and optional to salvation. Walking in the Spirit has been made optional as well. This false gospel of "faith alone" changes what Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 - For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. By teaching that we do NOT need to keep the commandments(plural) of Christ as the gospel, the saving power of the gospel has been neutralized. The end result is that millions of people have been deceived by Satan into thinking that they are saved. They were taught that "faith alone" saved them apart from them having to keep the commandments of Christ. This has become Satan's masterpiece and has deceived millions of people into thinking they have eternal life in Christ when they actually remain lost.

I appreciate this channel so much 🙏🏻

Thank u so much. Love theocast!

I love this and it's much needed right now. Can you or JP do a video on Jesus's words to the churches in Revelation? I am getting tripped up by those passages where Jesus seems to be banking their salvation on their works. Thanks guys. You are such a blessing.

Blessed!

Well said.

That's really really good stuff where were these guys 20 years ago LOL

Greetings. Did Augustine get his interpretation of Romans 5:12 wrong? The reason I ask is because it was Augustine who set the western church on its course of original sin and inherited guilt. Many Christians don’t realize that a whole different understanding and interpretation of this verse came out of the eastern church. Thanks

God wants us to love and accept Jesus into our hearts.... If we don't do both we might not be going to heaven

If you are in Christ and do not abide in Him you will suffer condemnation, not to eternal damnation but here in life. Imagine believing and not knowing His Word. Happens all the time, how abundant do you think that brothers life is here? Those who are in the flesh cannot please God, but, you are not in the flesh if indeed yhe Spirit of God dwells in you. It does not say that you automatically please God, it implies that you are able to please Him set you mind on the things of the Spirit.

Sowing to the spirit means sowing and abiding in Christs love stewing in it The result Fruits of the spirit Love patience peace joy kindness faithfullness Sowing to the flesh Is religiously doing good works sinning less by willpower The result? Boasting Strife decensions fornications leciviousness hardheartedness The reason is because when you fall in love with someone you naturaly want to do what makes them happy You naturally become humble and docile because of love But when you sow to the flesh you can become prideful and weak and justify your weakness

Just one question that I think about that never gets talked about in this type of video, does anyone think like me that the fruit of the Spirit is the way a believer does any good ? Born again child of God should bear fruit I think would could agree ? Apart from me you can do nothing I am the vine and you are the branches! So is it works ? I believe here is what people get confused about! Religion says do this give that obey and be forgiven ! Man’s attempt to get to God. Jesus is Gods attempt to get to mankind! If you think you have to work out your salvation you can never earn it stop! The free gift that we can never earn was paid in full by Jesus the spotless lamb of God that took it all on him by one man Adam sin entered and by one man Romans 12 :17 how much more will those receive Gods abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ! Glory

Good stuff.

purpose driven life by Rick Warren and so called Holyghost laughter etc

Here's a false gospel: Jesus died for the elect only.

BELIEVING THE GOSPEL AS THE SCRIPTURES HATH SAID Todays gospel message has been so watered down that it instructs us to only "believe" and then we are "good to go". But there is no POWER in this and it is NOT the gospel that the disciples of Christ obeyed in the book of Acts. "Believing" is the gateway to "Obeying" the TRUE GOSPEL. However, believing in and of itself is not a complete response to the entire GOSPEL. Jesus said "BELIEVE", yes that is true. But Jesus further expounds "BELIEVE AS THE SCRIPTURES CONTINUE TO SAY" (John 7:38) Jesus instructed His disciples to baptize. He didn't speak this directive just to give them "busy" work. In the scriptures below, we see example after example after example of what the listeners DID after Hearing and Obeying the True Gospel. There is a pattern here. Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Why mention baptism in the scripture if baptism is irrelevant? Because it is relevant. Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Again, The disciples of Jesus Christ baptized. Joh 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, Joh 4:2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) Peter is preaching the Gospel. He doesn't say, "for the few of you that feel the need to get baptized, go for it!" No, he says, "Be baptized every one of you..." Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, 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. Those that gladly received the Gospel that Peter preached got baptized. Those who rejected the Gospel he preached, didn't. Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: Philip is preaching the same Gospel. As a result, the people believed and as a result of that belief, they got baptized. Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Simon heard the Gospel. He believed and as a result, he got baptized. Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Philip preached the Gospel to a eunuch. As a result, the eunuch does not say, "I believe in Jesus" and then go on his way. Instead, he wants to get baptized as soon as possible. Acts 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? Act 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. Peter preaches the Gospel. As the people heard, the Holy Ghost descended and filled them. Afterwards, Peter instructs them to get baptized in the Name of The Lord and is alluding that no man should get in the way of that process. He did not say, "It's optional" (Acts 10:37-48) Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Paul and Silas preach to the keeper of the prison. Paul says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." but he does not stop there. He preached the word of the Lord and as a result, the keeper of the prison and his household were baptized. Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. Act 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Another instance where people heard the Gospel. They believed and as a result, those who believed were baptized. Act 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. In Acts 19:1-9, Paul is asking a "believer" if they have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost since they believed. They haven't heard about the Holy Ghost. So what does Paul start asking about? He asked how they were baptized. They had been baptized according to John's baptism of repentance. After Paul explained the gospel more clearly (since Jesus had since risen), they got Re-baptized. But this time, it was in the Name of The Lord. Because they repented and got baptized in the name of the Lord, God was obligated to baptize them in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38), because it is His Promise (Acts 2:39) If you read further in Acts 19:8-9, you will see that certain people BELIEVED NOT and started speaking evil of the gospel that Paul preached. 19 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 7 And all the men were about twelve. 8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. 9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. The response to the TRUE GOSPEL includes: 1) Repentance (acknowledging and turning away from sin) and 2) Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ and as a result, that individual shall 3) Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Jesus tells what happens when we "BELIEVE AS THE SCRIPTURES CONTINUE TO SAY" John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given ; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Which Gospel of Jesus Christ will you believe? The one that the early disciples of Jesus preached as documented in the Bible? Or the modified/simplified/modernized version that would be considered "Another gospel" by Paul. Paul says the person that preaches "Another gospel" is accursed. Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. Do yourself a HUGE favor. Don't take reckless chances with your salvation. OBEY the TRUE GOSPEL. Acts 2:38 clearly tells us that if we will 1) repent of our sin and 2) get water baptized in the name of Jesus, 3) then God is OBLIGATED to baptize us with the Holy Spirit. Why? Because Acts 2:39 goes on to say that this promise is for every single one of us! So, the question is simple: Have we done steps 1 and 2 so that God can perform step 3 in our lives?

I think the biggest lie in the Christian churches is the teaching that there is no escape from the flesh nature. In truth, The flesh has no power over those who have truly been Born Again. The struggle is when people try to conquer their sin by their own power, because they have not received the Holy Spirit: Collosians 2:11 "and in Him (Jesus) you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ," Romans 8:9-11 "But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you." 1 John 3 "Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister." When Paul spoke about his struggles with sin, he was speaking about his past before he received the Holy Spirit, because he also said: 1 Corinthians 15:34 : "Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God-I say this to your shame." Paul also said, "Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8;1-8 When Jesus said, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." He had not sent the Holy Spirit yet. Jesus told the Pharisees, "You will die in your sins." For anyone who dies in their flesh, they are guaranteed to end up in Hell. “For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” Romans 8:13. God's grace does not allow us to go on sinning. God's grace changes us. God's grace does not free us to sin. It frees us from sin. Decieved Christians have a false sense of security believing that they can sin until the day they die and still go to heaven, but they don't have faith in the power of the Holy Spirit to free them from sin. To deny the power of the Holy Spirit to deliver us from sin so that we can live a righteous life is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

False Gospels like Calvanism ….??

This False Gospel is Free Will. That a dead man in sin chooses God first, and that salvation is of the free will of man, where Christ died for every individual without exception and yet the atonement of Christ is not ACTIVATED until one makes himself his own high priest and makes a "decision" for Christ. The Bible declares that Salvation is of the Lord! Salvation is not just some offer, it's a declaration of an accomplished finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross for HIS people! Matthew 1:21

1 st and 2 comendment is Not Love God and your Neighbore! That is something Jesus fulfilled! New comendment is 1. Believe Trust in the Person Of Jesus His name 2. Love others as you have been loved....
