About Salvation in Christ
The New Testament teaches that Jesus Christ’s forgiveness is for all past and present sins upon repentance, receiving Jesus as Lord, and baptism into Him by immersion in water, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness is offered for future sins also, but salvation is often misrepresented by modern teachers and preachers to negate or minimize conditions Jesus required for anyone who wishes to be a Christian – also known as a disciple. Luke 14 – 26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 And…

The witness and testimony Jesus asked of His followers as the best proof of God on earth
Christians who share their faith with others rightly give testimony of Jesus Christ and God’s truths, but the Lord also asked them for a testimony in their own right. To get this, instead of Christian soul winners selling sinners a message catering to their self interests (and the gospel is not really for sale), they needed to prepare them to die to self, and take up Christ’s interests. Jesus said life and death significance hinged on it, and if they obeyed Him implicitly, they could expect to create the best proof of God there is – lives transformed by amazing proportions. This would speak volumes more than words alone.

Most Christians are dominated by their religious ‘fleshly minds’
A religious fleshly mind produces the perfect clone of a fruitful and authentic Christian life and most Christians have no idea how much they are affected by it. Religious flesh is the root common denominator responsible for sinfulness and division, and, really, all that is and has ever been wrongly approved of by those who name the name of Christ. This includes every false teaching in Jesus’ name since before the rise of the Roman Catholic church – and during the 1200 years of Catholicism’s lockhold on the faith in the western world through to the post-Protestant times up to today. The religious flesh is why many who took the…

Proof the religious flesh dominates most Christians
Religious flesh is why Christians have been the most divided faith on the face of the earth with tens of thousands of sub-groups and denominations when they all claim to be reading out of the same Bible and following the same God. A religious fleshly mind produces the perfect clone of a fruitful and authentic Christian life and most Christians have no idea how much they are affected by it. Do you think this statement does not pertain to you? Can you see erroneous understanding and sin in others, but believe you are not as bad as others? That kind of confidence could only be because of one of two…

An end-of-the-age report card on church history
The history of the Christian faith for the past 1900 years has been one in which those who named Christ utterly failed to keep Jesus Christ’s two highest injunctions. Since the last apostle John died around 100 AD, all sorts of deeds – good and bad – have been done in the name of Christ but this report is in light of the pure vision Jesus and the apostles expressed in the New Testament. Two Injunctions; Two Proofs of God The Lord said it was a command that His followers would be 1) known for an unearthly and truly God-like love, and 2) His will they remain united in doctrine,…
