SALVATION THROUGH FAITH
The Dispensation of Grace is the 7th in Scripture. 7 is the number of "Perfection" and "Completion" This was always the real plan of Salvation since the beginning
The phrase “the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world” signifies that Jesus’ sacrificial death was foreordained by God since before the creation of Time., forming the foundation of redemption even before creation..
"If all else fails...READ THE MANUAL!"
Religion is the lie...Scripture is the Ʈruth
God wrote 2 Bibles...Old and New
The ONLY Apostle who wrote to Gentiles was Paul
The current plan of Salvation was given only to Paul
Divide The Word: Paul’s Last Words
II TIM 2:
15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly DIVIDING the Word of Truth.
Religion mixes LAW/WORKS with GRACE /FAITH to keep you confused.
II TIMOTHY 3:
Even if a passage isn’t directly about you, it can still edify, warn, or instruct you when read in its proper context
ROMANS - PHILEMON IS THE ONLY SCRIPTURE WRITTEN TO YOU
Leave The Past in The Past:
MATTHEW 20:
16. So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
This is a simple rule of Scripture explaining that when something new comes along, the old is replaced:
1. The Old Testament REPLACED BY the New Testament.
2. Saul’s final Epistle to the Jews (HEBREWS) REPLACED BY his final epistle to Gentiles (ROMANS). ROMANS is the FIRST book by Paul in every Bible.
3. The LAW REPLACED BY the Gift of GRACE.
4. WORKS replaced by FAITH.
Why would God bother writing a New Testament if you could keep using the Old one?
Common Sense is The Key
For centuries many have thought there was a “lost key” to understanding Scripture. The key wasn’t lost. It is common sense which has been pushed aside in favor of “experts” who claim to know better.
Who Said That?
To understand ANY story, you must know who is speaking, to whom, when and why. For instance, the Book of James is written ONLY to Jews but is quoted often in “Christian” churches. Most books in The bible tell you in the first chapter who is being written to.
“CHRISTIAN RELIGION” is a trick created by Satan to counter the salvation Christ brought us at the cross, an “ANTI CHRIST” program preventing salvation. Scripture tells us that Jesus died on the cross to pay for man’s sins. Scripture tells us that if we truly believe that, we are saved. (I COR 15: 1-4)
The Catholic, Protestant, and Mormon religions all teach that Jesus only paid for your sins PRIOR to your “baptism” by water.
They apparently believe Jesus was too lazy, stupid, or weak to complete the whole job and that after your so-called “baptism,” you must pray to our Heavenly Father to ask forgiveness for sins Jesus already paid for!
Did Jesus cover the sins of Caine? Judas? Ceasar? Hitler… YES?!?
Satan – god of This World
II COR 4:
3. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
In verse 4 the word “god” is used twice, but the first one has a lower-case g. The god of this world has been Satan since the fall of Adam.
LUKE 4: Satan Offers Jesus The World
5. And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6. And the devil said unto him, “All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.:
The popular story is that God and Satan are competing for souls. All mankind was lost with Adam. All are born to die and end up in Hell. God gives us salvation out of this through His Dispensations. Satan doesn’t want humans in Heaven:
1. God gives The Covenant of Abraham – Satan gets the Jews to reject The Messiah
All of The Jews saved under The Law are in Paradise awaiting resurrection. Jesus is the only man resurrected so far. He was the only one who walked out of the tomb.
2. God gives us The Gift of Grace – Satan creates the anti Christ… Catholicism. This has nearly crippled Salvation through Grace by having people deny the truth.
Consider this:
You live on a farm and your father puts you in charge of the hogs. One day your father says, “You’ve done good taking care of the hogs. Now I’m going to clean them up (redeem them) and they’re going to come live with us in Heaven.”
A New Beginning Ends The Old
To "Fulfill" The Law
The word fulfill means to complete or finish. Jesus came to END THE LAW.
-
Commandments Replaced:
MATTHEW 22:
36. Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38. This is the first and great commandment.
39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
-
Baptism Replaced:
JOHN 1: First By Water
25. And they asked him, and said unto him, “Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?”
26. John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27. He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.”
ACTS 19: Last By Fire
-
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,
-
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.”
-
And he said unto them, “Unto what then were ye baptized?” And they said, “Unto John's baptism.” (water)
-
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.”
-
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
-
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
ACTS 1: Jesus’s Last Words
5. “For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.”
6. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?”
7. And he said unto them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8. But ye shall receive power, after that The Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
9. And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
A Few Days Later…
ACTS 2: The Holy Ghost Arrives
1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The rushing mighty wind in this is The Holy Spirit coming to Earth as promised by Jesus just days before. The Holy Spirit has been here ever since, often mistaken for a “conscience.”
ROMANS 15:
3. “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
The 7 names of The Holy Spirit in The New Testament are actually powers …
The Healer, The Teacher, The Comforter, The Restrainer, etc.
Key Scriptures
The New Gospel!
I CORINTHIANS 15:
1. “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2. By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that (1) Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4. And that (2) he was buried, and that (3) he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
The Council at Jerusalem
Paul was brought before The Council in Jerusalem around 51 AD. The Council, led by James, Cephas (Peter), and John, decided the issue in favor of Paul when Peter arose and recounted his experience at the house of Cornelius (ACTS 10).
ACTS 15: Peter At The Council
5. But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, "That it was needful to circumcise them (Gentiles), and to command them to keep the law of Moses."
6. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, "Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith."
10. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
GALATIANS 2: Paul At The Council
7. But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8. (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
9. And when James, Cephas (Peter), and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
This is the 12 Apostles recognizing the New Gospel!
EPHESIANS 2: A Gift
8. For faith by grace are ye saved through; and that not of yourselves:
it is the GIFT OF GOD:
ROMANS 4: Righteousness
3. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4. Now to him that worketh (does good works) is the reward (blessings) not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly (Jesus) , his faith is counted for righteousness.
GALATIONS 5: Religion – The Yoke
1. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (religion).
2. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised (practice religion)), Christ shall profit you nothing.
3. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
ROMANS 9: Works Failed
30. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;
Peter’s Last Words to The Jews
Peter while in prison in 66 AD tells The Jews that Paul’s epistles are also for them and that they should now “grow in grace.” In 70 AD The Temple comes down ending Judaism leaving ONLY the Epistles of Paul for salvation.
II PETER:
15. And account that the longsuffering (crucifixion) of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest(le), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
18. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Jesus’s Last Instructions to His Disciples
MATTHEW 28:
18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
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:
20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Jesus tells THE APOSTLES to NOW take The Law to the Gentiles. This is the SINGE VERSE on which all Christian religions are based. They claim ANYONE can save Gentiles into The Law.
Why Philip Failed
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.
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.
14. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15. Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16. (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Once Peter and John show up, Gentiles begin getting saved because Jesus gave authority ONLY to the Apostles and Philip was only a Deacon.
The First Saved
God commanded Peter go to the house of Cornelius, a Gentile and a Roman soldier. He told him and the others of Jesus the Messiah. When he got to His death, burial, and resurrection, he witnessed The Holy Spirit in them when they began speaking in tongues without repentance or baptism.
ACTS 10:
39. "And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40. Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41. Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."
44. While Peter yet SPAKE THESE WORDS, the Holy Ghost FELL ON ALL them which heard the word.
45. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
These Gentiles were saved by just believing Jesus died for the remission of their sins, was buried and on the 3rd day rose again. Nothing else was performed...just faith. This showed Peter that God was starting a new plan which would bring Salvation to the Gentiles. This also fulfilled prophecy:
MATTHEW 16: Jesus Speaks of The Body of Christ
18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build (in the future) my church (The Body of Christ); and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Litmus Test:
A man walks into a room full of murderers. He tells them of someone called Jesus and how He died on the cross to pay for their sins, was then buried in the ground and then rose on the third day. The men believed and were immediately saved into the Body of Christ. They went back to work, saved by FAITH ALONE.
If you believe ANYTHING ELSE is required (like baptism, asking forgiveness, etc.), then you don’t believe Jesus got the job done.
God commanded Peter go to the house of Cornelius, a Gentile and a Roman soldier. He told him and the others of Jesus the Messiah. When he got to His death, burial, and resurrection, he witnessed The Holy Spirit in them when they began speaking in tongues without repentance or baptism.
These Gentiles were saved by just believing Jesus died for the remission of their sins, was buried and on the 3rd day rose again. Nothing else was performed...just faith. This showed Peter that God was starting a new plan which would bring Salvation to the Gentiles.
And God asks man, "WHAT HAVE YOU WROUGHT?"
3 Common Deceptions Taught In Religion:
1. “All will stand before the Judgement Throne”
This is a concept taught to make you believe your soul’s salvation is based on “works,” not faith… and that your sins may cost you your salvation. Paul clearly states this is not true.
I CORINTHIANS 3: The Judgement Seat
13. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a REWARD.
15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as by fire.
Believing you will be judged for your sins after death means you don't believe Jesus already paid for your sins at the cross.
2. “Faith without works is dead”
This is a popular “counter teaching” to:
“You are saved by faith alone, not works…” in EPHESIANS. It comes from the Book of James which is clearly written only to the Jews. James is reminding the Jews to keep up with their works under the law.
3. The “Lord’s Prayer”
This is a trick to get you to ask forgiveness of sins, denying your sins are paid for:
“Forgive us our trespasses…”
This is taught to children at a very early age before they even know what it means.
