The Eternal Security false doctrine
has been around for quite a while, existing mostly as a benign error; since
adherents always implicitly express dismay at the possibility of someone
deliberately disobeying God’s instructions just because they knew there
supposedly was no possibility of their ever missing heaven.
A much more dangerous version of
the doctrine has since emerged, which insists that even if one were to
deliberately and repeatedly engage in incontrovertible sinful actions,
including even apostasy, God is bound to provide a way of getting them to
heaven, regardless! As it were, all one
has to do was to profess Christ, and such a fellow may thereafter revert to the
kind of life they were living before such professions, without jeopardising
their eternal destiny in Christ. Of
course, this flies in the face of several clear teachings of the Lord Jesus,
such as the statement that “not all who
call me Lord, Lord, will enter into heaven”, (Mathew 7:21) or the admonition to
“Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32) who perished as she wavered between choosing
either Sodom or the promised Safety.
And to really seal the eternal
destiny of the people they are herding to hell, the new teaching strongly
encourages adherents to drop their archaic “sin consciousness” thus barring
them from ever repenting of any sin they may deliberately or inadvertently
commit. As a matter of fact, the new
strain of teaching strictly forbids any confession of sin, which it equates
with the ultimate vice a “Christian” could ever commit - Unbelief. Why, that not only shows the fellow did not
believe his sins are already being continuously cleansed (even before they were
committed), it also exposes him as
trusting more in his “work” of begging God as effective means of procuring
divine favour! In salvation, “work” is absolutely excluded!
It’s really amazing, and a sign of
the high-level deceptions involved, indicating lateness of the hour, that
otherwise intelligent young people could believe such lies from the pit of
hell. Latching on to some few select scriptures with interpretations
turned on its head, they conscript the rest of Scriptures to the dust bin,
deemed as not applicable to “new creation realities”! It is particularly distressing to see people
laugh off the several admonitions in the Scriptures to take heed, be watchful,
and resist the ever prowling powerless-but-cunning Satan. “New creation
realities” are supposedly beyond temptations, such as are applicable to the
Apostles (e.g. I Cor. 9:25-27), and even the Lord Jesus Christ Himself (Mat.
4:1ff)
Well, in addressing this issue and
hopefully check its egregious spread in the Body of Christ, CA! dedicated a
special 8-page Report to shed light on the subject. That major write-up released at the due time
for Vol 20 Quarter 2 edition of regular
CA! is available for download on our
website and blog. To tidy up our
archives and records however, the Volume 20 Quarter 2 is now officially
published with the Special Report included as an insert. We pray the Lord bless the material to open
the blind eyes and effect the release from prison the multitudes of earnest
sincere believers currently languishing in satan’s jail-house.
“I have no greater joy than
to hear that my children walk in truth” (3 Jhn 4)
