EO Responds To

Emails 02-22-09

(EMAIL) Hello. God bless this teaching. I have asked MANY preachers and believers about pre trib or post trib and this is the FIRST time in 20 years I fully understand that it is post trib. God bless you for posting this information on the web.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. Thanks for the kind words about our teachings .... MANY are now waiting on a pre-trib rapture to save them from the coming problems, but they won’t escape [that way]. Instead they have been taken off guard because of this false doctrine. We have yet to see the damage done to souls by the pre-trib rapture teaching. IF we are the last generation, we will face the antichrist BEFORE the rapture. May God help us all stand true to the faith. Rev. 12:11. GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) I have a question I\’ve been trying to figure out for a while. Would getting a tattoo be a sin? I am unsure, I have never heard of it being one, but I haven\’t heard of it not being one either. Can you help me? I\’m not saying a bad tattoo, nothing bad. Just getting one in general a sin?

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. ALL tattoos are forbidden by God:

Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD. (Lev 19:28)

A Christian who got a tattoo before getting saved should do all he can to keep it concealed by long sleeves, etc. since this is not godly behavior. It is repulsive to us that a preacher would be all tattooed up and not even try to hide those ugly marks .... GOD BLESS YOU.

________________

(EMAIL) Besides not repenting and blasphemy is there anything else that will guarantee you go straight to hell? Under what conditions can you be saved? Can you be saved at anytime? Any place? Regardless of what you’ve done in your life (besides blasphemy) can you be saved if you truly what to be?

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.

Taking the mark of the beast will result in damnation. That sin too seems unforgiveable even with repentance. One can be saved IF he/she is sincere, humble and repentant when he asks God for mercy and forgiveness and places his faith/trust in JESUS for salvation. The repentant thief got saved as he hung from a cross (Lk. 23:42,43), Cornelius got saved in his house (Acts 10:1-43), the Ethiopian eunuch got saved in his chariot (Acts 8:35,36), Paul got saved on a road (Acts 9:5), the tax collector got saved in the temple (Lk. 18:9-14), etc. God can and will save any person who turns from his sins and places an obedient faith in JESUS.

If by chance you think you have sinned too much to get saved, read about Manasseh (2 Chron. 33). Very few in our day even come close to his wickedness yet he got saved. The Prodigal got saved AGAIN after MUCH WICKED LIVING (Luke 15:11-32. See also James 5:19,20.)

(EMAIL) I received your book in the mail, The believers conditional security. I read a good portion of it, I had studied augustine, and calvin and others, I also found the same information you found. My question is why you have neglected to study where the niv version came from, If we are going to get the truth from God\’s word, we don’t want to quote from a perverted text. If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous do? psalm 11 says. I am shocked at the size and work that was put in the writing of this book, and yet you consistently quote from a version that queers and lesbians and unsaved people admit they had a part of its translation. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit. How can the Holy Spirit lead us in all truth with a perverted text? For the true believer he believes his God cannot lie Titus 1, its impossible for him to lie Heb 6:18, And yet you choose to study from a corrupt bible. Are you more interested in debating eternal security and quote from a perverted bible? Have you studied the history of the niv and the other perversions and have turned your eyes from the truth? This is not a attack on you because I disagree with your teaching on eternal security, one thing is for sure, the Holy Spirit cannot lead us in all truth with a corrupt bible. If you have the Spirit of God, you certainly wont call a bible translated from the catholic manuscripts, and translated again by these kind of peole the Word Of God. Shame on you, rightfully yes exposing the catholic church and teaching, and then promoting their their corrupt text. I am willing to help you in understanding salvation, but we have to start with the truth first. The kjb is the word of God in English today, The niv bible is the enemy of the kjv and you know it is. God help us in these last days!

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. You are the typical misinformed KJV onlyite with a double standard. You want to condemn all none KJV translations yet close your eyes to the Catholic influence on the TR and the DRUNK that was never removed from the translating committee of the 1611 KJV. You have only been fed garbage and misinformation yet you think you are informed. You are quick to argue for a translation YOU can not understand, yet probably say very little to contend for the faith against the grace changers who turn grace into a license for immorality [Jude 3,4].

Can you explain how any godly group with no Catholic influence (as you have been taught) could have the apocrypha in their 1611 [KJV] translation? WHY was it afterwards removed? THINK! WHY did the 1611 translators say readers of the 1611 should also read other translations? WHY are you NOT reading the 1611 today? Please answer these questions PLUS this one: Did you know the man who formulated the Textus Receptus was a Catholic priest, who never left Catholicism. He dedicated the first edition of the TR to the Pope. The same man also stated he wanted salvation, but not without Mary! I would like to read your answers. Surely you have answers, don’t you? Surely you were aware of these facts, weren’t you? Surely, the people who brainwashed you and fed lies and half-truths told you about these, didn’t they?

The bottom line is: YOU can NOT understand the KJV and you want others to read the same translation to their own HARM. That is the bottom line. STOP this nonsense and battle the HERESY of eternal security before more souls go to hell. GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) I was wondering about spousal abuse. Some fundamentalists will often claim that abuse is due to disobedience on the wife\’s part. To me, this is very flawed and chauvinistic thinking. Most of the time, spousal abuse happens because the husband is a total jerk. I\’d like to know your opinion on the issue. Sincerely,

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.

This whole issue of “spousal abuse” is recent and unscriptural. Do NOT be deceived by it. There are multitudes in adultery at this moment because they married a person who can’t be married or because they themselves can’t be married without being in adultery. The Calvinists make light of this oftentimes because they themselves have been married and divorced plural times or think it doesn’t really matter because of eternal security.

We are now in a deep, dark apostate time. The vast majority of the so-called churches are filled with sin and false doctrine. Almost no churches are speaking out on illegitimate marriages because the congregations are filled with such people. Hence, some single Christians are getting married and entering an adulterous relationship and not a real marriage in God’s eyes because one party is still married to another person. That form of adultery, though often denied, is rampant. It is a perilous day. GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) You said [from John 10:27,28],

\“Please note that the ones who will \“never perish\” or get \“snatched\” from God\’s hand, according to Jesus\’ teaching are only the ones who FOLLOW HIM. Also, the Greek tense of the word \“follow\” in v. 27 is a CONTINUOUS TENSE. Hence, this verse does NOT allow for one to stray into wickedness and maintain their salvation as it has been misued to teach. Please remember this. Calvinism is NOT true.\”

What is the purpose of the Holy Spirit? Does die for the ungodly, (Romans 5:6) and does Jesus justifiy the wicked (Romans 4:5)? Are you wicked or ungodly? If not, why did Jesus say he did not come for you? When Jesus said \“NEVER\” did it always mean \“NEVER\”?

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. You are trying to justify turning to sin, but such is the heart of eternal security. You think somehow the Holy Spirit will prevent spiritual death for the righteous, [but he won’t]. Please read this http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/spiritualdeath.htm

When a person gets saved, he is no longer wicked or ungodly. At the new birth he becomes righteous and a good person. That spiritual conditional, however, can change due to sin, believing / teaching a false gospel and/or disowning Jesus.

You asked about the word, “never,” because you reject the context of John 10:27,28 to accept the typical ways eternal security people use it—to teach one does NOT have to follow and he will still never perish. You do that to your own harm and those you love the most. You are not teachable, you are just accepting what the savage wolves have taught you.

Furthermore, regarding the word, “never” have you ever noticed this?:

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Mat 18:1-3)

Verse 3 was spoken to the Lord’s disciples who had already been saved. Jesus told them they would lose their salvation unless they changed. Do you believe what Jesus taught or the eternal security teachers? Which?

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 This book is the most exhaustive and comprehensive refutation to eternal security ever written.

Please consider signing up for our weekly email teachings, updates, etc. If interested, you can do that here http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/contact.htm Remember Gal. 6:8,9 is a SALVATION passage not a rewards passage. GOD BLESS YOU. Heb. 3:14.

(EMAIL) You apparently are new to scriptures and have very little understanding of GOD\’s plan for salvation. First of all it is possible and most probable that a christian at some point will sin (YES EVEN AFTER ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST) Moses sinned, King David sinned, Peter sinned and even Paul sinned as quoted in Romans 3:23 states. all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,Hebrews 25: 8 says that Jesus died once for all our sins, and always intercedes for us. It was God who reached out to save me,by giving me the gift of His Son, Please read the entire Chapter of John 17. you may come to understand the grace of God. not cheap grace like you are protraying, It cost God His only Son. I accepted Christ years ago, but there are times that I dont always seek or do the Fathers will. does that mean IAM LOST! it confirms that I still live in this world and need to go to my heavenly Father on a daily basis maintain my relationship with Him. Jesus Himself said in John chapter 17, that He as not lost one of the sheep the Father had given Him. Anyone who contiunes to deliberately sin has never accepted Jesus Christ as his or her Savior. Also I have listened to Jack Van Impe many times, and the accucations you are bringing against him are FALSE! repent and ask God to forgive you for speaking against one of his TRUE messenger.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. I have read the passages you referred to many times over the past 30 years. There is nothing there that can support the idea that you or any person can retain salvation in adultery, drunkenness, theft, swindling, witchcraft, murder, etc., which is really the HEART of the once saved always saved doctrine.

Jack Van Impe is no better or worse than any other OSAS teacher. They all teach a license for immorality under their dangerous version of grace. We have NO DOUBT there are millions on the road to hell at this moment thinking they are on the road to heaven because of this doctrine. This teaching is the devil’s masterpiece. That is why we sometimes refer to it as THE HERESY.

We believe that we are saved by grace (Eph. 2:8,9) but we can fall from grace (Gal. 5:2-4). We are justified by faith (Rom. 5:1) but our faith can become shipwrecked (1 Tim. 1:19,20) and cease to exist (Lk. 8:13; Rom. 11:19-23). We are not under the law (Rom. 6:14,15) but if you live according to the sinful nature you will die (Rom. 8:13). Paul taught against legalism (Gal. 5:3,4) but he also taught that no immoral, impure or greedy person has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God (Eph. 5:5-7). We are not saved by works (Eph. 2:8,9) but to reap eternal life and not destruction you must sow to please the Spirit and not the sinful nature (Gal. 6:8,9). God is faithful to us (1 Jn. 1:9; 1 Cor. 10:13) but we must be faithful to him to the very end of our lives to escape the lake of fire or second death (Rev. 2:10,11). God surely loves us (Jn. 3:16; Mk. 10:21; Rom. 8:35-39) but those who inherit the kingdom of God love God (Jam 2:5; 1 Cor. 2:9) and to love God means to obey his commands (Jn. 14:15; 1 Jn. 5:3). We have freedom in Christ (Gal. 5:1) but this freedom is not to indulge the sinful nature (Gal. 5:13; 1 Pet 2:16).

(EMAIL) ...I wanna ask you to translate your book THE BELIEVERS CONDITIONAL SECURITY to Spanish, we need the message desperately on Latin America where the is a lot of prosperity- soft preachers everywhere.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. The HERESY of eternal security is a worldwide problem. While it is true that we don’t have our 801 page book [fully] translated into Spanish, we do have our English booklet entitled, “The Gospel According To Charles Stanley” translated in Spanish. We also have MANY Spanish articles free on our web site http://www.alcanceevangelistico.org/ Hopefully, that will help.

Keep speaking out against Calvinism. It is surely from the devil. GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) God Bless you too…How do you know that I [a Catholic] am wrong and you are right? I have my faith and you have yours. I don’t have any need to change. You say that reading the New Testament is what caused you to learn the truth of God and find salvation? Well, guess what? The Bible was written two thousand years ago…How exactly do you know that everything in the New Testament is 100% true? It was written by many different authors in a different language so how do you know that everything is accurate? I personally believe that the Bible contains much symbolism and that everything cannot be taken literally…

What if I don’t change? Are you telling me that I’m going to go to Hell because I’m a Catholic and not the right ‘type’ of Christian? You should not judge people. God is the one and only judge so I think that you should leave it up to him…Also, what exactly does this mean:

“According to true grace teaching, eternal life is also a hope (Titus 3:7), yet to be reaped (Gal. 6:8,9), in the age to come (Mk. 10:30) for only those who persist in doing good (Rom. 2:7), and do not grow weary and give up (Gal. 6:9).”

What is true grace teaching? It looks to me like you’ve pieced together a bunch of different bible versus to make up a sentence of your choosing. Why would you need to change how the Bible is written? Didn’t you say the Bible caused you to learn the truth? Perhaps you have your own agenda…Regards,

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. You are wrong because the Bible does NOT teach what you were told to believe, but rather refutes it. Please read this http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/rcdeception.htm

We are very aware that the New Testament was written 2,000 yrs. ago and the OT before that! Because it is old doesn’t mean it is inaccurate or irrelevant. The Lord Jesus quoted the Scriptures on numerous occasions and used it to endorse his own behavior. He also promised the New Testament. Hence, by his authority we can be sure the NT is the word of God.

There is another way we know it is God’s truth, that is, because it works. The word of God, when acted upon, will set one free from his sin addictions. A repentant person will be changed into a “new creation.” This is what the Bible promises.

Finally, we know the Bible is true because of fulfilled prophecy. It is mathematically impossible for the Bible not to be of divine inspiration. These are the three ways I KNOW the Bible is true.

According to that precious truth of God, Catholicism is wrong. Catholics have a plan of salvation, which is not Biblically accurate. Please read this regarding salvation http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/salvationps.htm All people who are not Biblically saved will be damned.

You asked about eternal life. It is much more than most think. It is as stated there to be: a hope, yet to be reaped, in the age to come, etc. Most protestant Bible believers don’t know that because of the false teaching of once saved always saved. They are deceived too.

Grace [in part] is how people become saved. That occurs at the point of repentance and a submissive faith in the Lord Jesus. You do not get grace from Mary or through the sacraments, as you have been told. Please please for your own SOUL’S sake, read the New Testament and change accordingly. This is VITAL.

(EMAIL) Re your critique of David Wilkerson, Dr. Stanley, How do you handle the scripture that says, Matt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

It would seem to me that both Wilkerson and Stanley would say that these individuals never were saved! They gave mental assent, but that’s all. (The devil believes and trembles.)

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. We understand Mt. 7:21-23 to refer to people who were NEVER saved. Other passages, however, show different people were saved and later lost their salvation. Just from 1 Timothy alone we have multiple examples. Please read this http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/1timothy.htm

Mt. 7:24-27 seems clear: One MUST put into practice God’s word to be that “wise” builder. Just hearing the word means nothing. We must obey what it says.

Stanley is obsessed with teaching the HERESY of once saved always saved. Wilkerson stood opposed to the HERESY decades ago, but since then got deceived by Calvinists. Both of these men are leading MULTITUDES TO HELL. We are in a very dark day.

GOD BLESS YOU. Heb. 3:14.
