(EMAIL) ... The Bible clearly says that we go to heaven once we accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, that is accepting our salvation, that HE died to redeem us from our sins. And it’s NOT by our works that we are saved but by the grace of GOD. Once saved, you are forever saved! I’ve known a lot of Christians and even pastors who took their own life. And I assure you that they are well now in the hands of GOD. Suicide is a kind of mental disease that should not be judged as self murder.
Only GOD knows who goes to heaven or to hell, NOT YOU! If you have compassion with mankind, you will rephrase your message!
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.
The Bible does NOT teach eternal security, which you seem to think is the basis why a former Christian will go to heaven after he murders himself. We must endure to the end to be saved (Mt. 10:22; Heb. 3:14; Rev. 2:10,11). You also think self-murder is a disease, but there is no Scripture that says this. The Bible cites suicides, but NEVER says they had a mental disease!
Getting back to once saved always saved, that false doctrine has led to broken homes through divorce, SUICIDES and criminal acts. It is NOT a Christian teaching and should be exposed and refuted with Scripture at every turn by Christians.

(EMAIL) Judge that ye be not judged..............you cannot say who will be in hell. That is up to God and I trust him fully
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.
The Bible tells us who will be in the lake of fire. We, therefore, can KNOW who is lost. Ponder this:
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. (Rev 21:8)
GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) Received all the 7 DVDs yesterday in good condition. Thank you for kindness. Preaching with Bible exposition has become something rare in these days and from this point of view, your messages are really good in alerting the believer in his spiritual walk.
As you might have heard, in the state of Orissa in India, there were riots against the believers who were celebrating our Lord’s birth in this world. It seems that the rioters attacked catholic churches also. Some of the believers who are poor are still hiding in nearby jungles because of fear. This was published in all major newspapers in India.
Also, I would like to share with you that the belief which was practiced in Canaan is almost same as the belief where I live. I sometimes really wonder about how the followers of such true religion could turn away and follow the Canaanites. However, I hope that you are aware that these same beliefs have come into your country and the believers must recognize this and be very careful not to fall away.
Also, I have one more thought recently. God created man. All men/women are created by God. God created man out of love. Even after Adam sinned God did not erase the race of man and allowed man to be born with a bent to do sinful things. This God did, I think, because God knew that there is a possibility for all men to know Him and thus can be redeemed. The means of knowing Him may be different now than in those days. Yet, it is certainly possible to know Him because God has created man with a desire to seek and find Him. (Acts 14: 15-17, Acts 17: 26-27). Therefore to say that God created one set of people to perish and another set of people as elect violates God’s nature as a God of love and His creation as an act of love. Also, there is no excuse for anyone even “good people” who do not seek God to say that they also will be in heaven because of their sincere belief not in the true God. Would like your opinion on this.
Thanking you
Yours in Christ,

We are glad the DVDs of our mini-video teachings (feed my sheep) arrived in good condition. May they prove to be a blessing to you and others.
We never heard of the persecution you mentioned in India until we read your email. Those rioters even went after the Catholics, but why not—they hate the name Jesus that much to go after anyone who mentions him, even those with a false gospel. May God help all true Christians endure to the end for salvation’s sake (Mt. 10:22), especially as persecution spreads globally, and may he also help those misled to come to salvation.
There is NO DOUBT that Calvinism is dangerously wrong. Their view of some being “non-elect” and not having a chance to get saved is both extreme ignorance and a horrible strike against God’s character. There is also NO DOUBT that Jesus is the ONLY way to escape damnation in eternal fire and enter God’s paradise kingdom. To teach otherwise might prevent some trouble here, but at the judgment such poison will have to be accounted for.
You are also right about the USA having many false beliefs. This country is loaded with a to z religious beliefs. The worst ones are the ones claiming to present the truth of the Bible, but don’t. These are dark days that will get darker, especially as wickedness increases and the economy continues to get crushed with prices going much higher quickly.
Now is a good time to labor for the Lord. The night is coming when no man will be able to labor anymore. It could be much closer than we think! May God help us all. Remember Rev. 12:11.
GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) Good morning. I read your article on the importance of forgiveness, and liked it, but after going back to the word and reading Hebrews 6:4-6 (regarding once-saved always saved), it left me wondering. How do you resolve those scriptures? I do not ask to create controversy, however, more to be as the Bereans in acts 17:11 where they were more noble than those in Thes. in that they received what they were taught each day with all readiness and openness of mind, but went back to the scriptures to prove whether they were so.
Thanks very much for any insight you can provide.
(RESPONSE) Heb. 6:4-6 refers to those who committed eternal sin and therefore couldn’t be renewed again by repentance. They couldn’t return as others did. See James 5:19,20; Lk. 15:24,32 and Rom. 11:19-23.
Please consider getting our 801 page book refuting eternal security entitled, “The Believer’s Conditional Security.” There is MUCH in it that can help you better understand this salvation related subject. http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/whatsnew.htm
Remember Gal. 6:8,9 is a SALVATION passage not a rewards passage. GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) I inadvertently came across your web site, and am most interested in a list of any materials you may have to offer. I do not need to be convinced of the fallacy of OSAS as my life is a living testimony to that heresy. The sordid details are not necessary at this time except to say that I am desperately looking for support. I live in _______, and while you may find this hard to believe, there is no good ministry in the area. Whether via television, radio, or the local churches all you get is the OSAS message, the prosperity gospel, or carnal Christianity at the best. I’ve been looking over your web site for hours now, and all I can say is amen to most everything I’ve read. In addition to any information you might send me, do you know of any radio or television ministries with similar beliefs in my area? Finally, I hope you respond to my e-mail, as I don’t have any other options at this time. Thank you.
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.
