True Salvation
By Andy Zoppelt

Many are taught, all one has to do to be saved is say the "sinners prayer" and believe and you will be saved. What would be the result of our alter calls if Jesus stood before each seeker? He would have altered a lot of calls I'm sure.

Biblical salvation begins with repentance

If you believe the religious lie that you can continue to willfully sin and still be saved - you have been deceived by Satan's first lie told to man. "You shall not surely die." After three years of a powerful ministry, healing the sick, casting out demons, preaching to thousands and providing lunch, Jesus had only 120 at the upper room.

Repentance is rooted in the total surrender of the soul to the life of Christ, if not, there is no grace.

The kingdom of God comes with a price tag… we must be willing sell all that we have in our heart, all that is important, and let the King rule from there. We cannot rule and God rule, one has to die. If we don't understand the dying to the life of self, we will be unable to understand salvation. Death to self is the cost, are you willing to pay the price?

James makes it clear that the saving faith, which Paul preached, had works. We cannot be disloyal and faithful at the same time. Faith must have a corresponding action. The action in faith will cost us our lives. It will be a life dedicated to keeping His word and walking in obedience. How can we say we have faith, when we demonstrates no change in our life and we continue to willfully give our lives over to sin.

The word denomination means "to name." How would the apostle Paul or Jesus respond if someone would have given "their church" a name during their ministry? Would outraged be a good word?

Paul said in Ephesians 3:14-15: "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom (the Father) the whole family (the Church) in heaven and earth is named."

We are named after the Father, how dare we be so conceded and full of pride to name our churches after men or some catchy phrase. Yet, we do it without a second thought. We do it as though it is as natural as John 3:16. As though we have a mandate from Jesus or Paul.


We use such names as Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Episcopalian, and Church of Christ. but how about the new names, New covenant, Calvary Chapel, Christian Life, Christian Fellowship, Faith Tabernacle, etc.. the naming is without an end…. and so the divisions.

Why I Don't Go To Church Anymore: Living in the Relational Church - Part 6

By Wayne Jacobsen

"I make no secret of the fact that I am deeply troubled by the state of organized Christianity. Most of what we call 'church' today are nothing more than well-planned performances with little actual connection between believers. Believers are encouraged toward a growing dependency on the system or its leadership rather than on Jesus himself. We spend more energy conforming behavior to what the institution needs rather than helping people be transformed at the foot of the cross!

I'm tired of trying to fellowship with people who only view church as a two-hour a week dumping ground for guilt while they live the rest of the week with the same priorities as the world. I'm tired of those who depend on their own works of righteousness but who have no compassion for the people of the world. I'm tired of insecure people using the Body of Christ as an extension of their own ego and will manipulate it to satisfy their own needs. I'm tired of sermons more filled with the bondage of religion than the freedom of God's love and where relationships take a back seat to the demands of an efficient institution."

"But most of the people I meet and talk with are not outside the system because they have lost their passion for Jesus or his people, but only because the traditional congregations near them couldn't satisfy their hunger for relationship. They are seeking authentic expressions of body life and pay an incredible cost to seek it out. Believe me, we would all find it easier just to go with the flow, but once you've tasted of living fellowship between passionate believers, it is impossible to settle for anything less."

"Don't expect it to be easy or run smoothly. It will take some specific choices on our part to be obedient to Jesus. It may take some training to shake off old habits and be free to let him build his community around you, but it is all worth it. I know it bothers some people that I don't take my regular place in a pew on Sunday morning, but I can tell you absolutely that my worst days outside organized religion are still better than my best days inside it. To me the difference is like listening to someone talk about golf or actually taking a set of clubs out to a course and playing golf. Being his church is like that. In our day we don't need more talk about the church, but people who are simply ready to live in its reality."

Apg. 2:42 "De höll troget fast vid apostlarnas lära och gemenskapen, vid brödsbrytelsen och bönerna."

Det handlar naturligtvis om rätt doctrin (Se Guds Ord) och helighet. Inte som oftast nu - rätt doktrin utan helighet och liv.

2 Joh:9-11 Den som inte förblir i Kristi lära utan går utöver den, han har inte Gud. Den som förblir i hans lära har både Fadern och Sonen. 10 Om därför någon kommer till er och inte för med sig denna lära, så skall ni inte ta emot honom i ert hem eller hälsa honom välkommen. 11 Den som välkomnar en sådan gör sig medskyldig till hans onda gärningar.

Därmed handlar det inte om katoliker, mormoner, Jehovas vittnen, kristna, newagare etc. tillsammans = ekumeni/En Världsreligion/NWO.

"Cooperation" Means Finding Unity in Diversity

Before we go into this research we are going to look at a few Scriptures that you will be confronted with once you understand. By researching the Scriptures you will understand what they truly mean. Take 1 Peter 2:13,14: "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and the praise of them that do well." Notice the government was placed into office for punishment of evildoers.

Obviously this refers to the laws of our government. This is how it was meant to be. Today the "church" wants to take the place of the government. Dominion theology means that the "church" [which represents the Body of Christ, who plans to come back Himself to take control of the world and run it for a thousand years], wants to govern the world even though Jesus said that His Kingdom in not of this world (ref: John 18:36). What is interesting about this research, the "church" has teamed up with the government, which places us as the Body of Christ into quite a predicament.


"The difficulty that the Body of Christ is faced with: we are mandated to love our neighbor and Satan wants to use this very Scripture to force us into social services, by peer pressure, to serve the secular society without the opportunity to teach the Gospel which is the very reason we obey Jesus Christ. 'Born Again Believers' have the Holy Spirit within them and He will want to find expression when He sees an opportunity to share the Gospel. It is doubtful that we could stop the spontaneous witnessing by the Holy Spirit in spite of the fact that it could land us in jail. The apostles had the same problem. Following Jesus Christ after he was crucified was prohibited by the Romans. This research will prove that Satan is using the second commandment to divide us into apostasy if we obey him."

"Ecumenism is therefore a strategy to achieve dominion over all religions, not only professing Christians, but all others as well.. The process of ecumenism was spelled out be Pope John's successor at the Council, Pope Paul VI. He called for the elimination of "words, judgments and actions" which hinder "mutual relations". Then comes "dialogue" through which "Christians should work together in the use of every possible means to relieve the afflictions of our times, such as famine and natural disasters, illiteracy and poverty, lack of housing and the unequal distribution of wealth. Through such cooperation, all believers in Christ are able to learn easily how they can understand each other better and esteem each other more, and how the road to the unity of Christians may be made smooth." (5)"

Are church leaders aligning themselves with Allah?

Has anyone noticed how hundreds of professing Christian leaders are compromising their faith by uniting with Muslims? Could it be that we are witnessing the formation of the prophesied one world religion under Antichrist? (Revelation 13:1-18)

For example, Brian McLaren, a prominent Emerging Church leader, announced plans to celebrate the Islamic holiday, Ramadan, commemorating Muhammed’s reception of the Quran.

On the fourth of July, when most Americans were celebrating the birth of our nation, Rick Warren, “America’s Pastor”, addressed the Islamic Society of North America; which, the Department of Justice categorized two years ago as a co-conspirator in financing a foreign terrorist group!

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

On May 30th, 2009, just before 4:00AM, 29-year-old Michael Miller of Glendale, AZ stabbed his wife and 10-year-old daughter to death after screaming Eminem lyrics. He also proclaimed to his victims, “Here comes Satan, I’m the anti-Christ, I’m going to kill you.” His 4-year-old son survived being stabbed 11 times. Miller told detectives that he was possessed and that he visualized his wife, Adreanna, as a demon.

DET BÖRJAR MED att en man vid namn Donald Forsberg hör av sig till Uppdrag granskning och presenterar sig som före detta agent vid militära underrättelsetjänsten.

När reportageteamet möter honom på Gotland säger han att han känner sig tvungen att bryta den hederskodex han levt med under årtionden: att aldrig avslöja en militär hemlighet.

- Här ute dumpade Sovjetunionen mellan åren 1989 - 1992, C-stridsmedel av de moderna slagen och radioaktivt "waste", säger han och pekar ut över havet.

"Sven-Olof Petersson var biträdande utrikesråd under utrikesminister Anna Lindh när rapporterna författades på KSI.

Första gången Uppdrag granskning tillfrågar honom har han inget minne av historien.

- Vi hade ju en minister som tidigare varit miljöminister. Hon hade gått genom taket."


"Men när Donald Forsberg får se de hemliga rapporterna tycker han att myndigheternas agerande är skamligt. Han anser att den nuvarande svenska regeringen måste ta tag i frågan.

- Vi får inte lägga locket på det här, det vore skamligt inför kommande generationer att förtiga detta och att det om 10, 20,30 år plötsligt inträffar något i det här området, säger han."

What’s my point?  Jesus came into the world to reveal the Father.  He is the express image of the Father in human form (II Corinthians 4:4, Colossians 1:15-17, Hebrews 1:1-3).  And while He was on this earth He expressed anger and frustration.  Has anyone ever bothered to wonder why?  Because God is angry, that’s why! 


He’s been angry for a long time.  I’m talking about the words of Jesus here, but go back to the Old Testament and read the words of the prophets.  God’s message to them was angry as well.  And so the question begs to be asked.  Why is God angry?  Well, I’m going to tell you why.  You may not like it.  It may seem negative to you.  It may lack grace.  I might even get a little frustrated and seemingly ridicule those who may not agree with me (if I do, I’m in pretty good company, Jesus and Paul did the same thing).

Are you ready for this?  God is angry because since the beginning of time men have chosen to ignore Him and follow the way of Cain.  In other words, we tend to reject the ways of God, the will and purpose of God, even the requirements of God in favor of the freedom to make up our own ways, to satisfy our own purpose and devise rules we think we can live with.  And make no mistake about it, what men call freedom, God calls willful rebellion and lawlessness.  The result of this rebellion and lawlessness is man-made religion.  Over time it develops into traditional, denominational, institutional religion.


It doesn’t make any difference what the name is.  It could be Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, non-denominational (here’s a denomination that couldn’t even come up with an original name) or any of a number of others.



– God’s will and purpose has nothing to do with religion in any form and His will and purpose can never be accomplished through involvement in religion.


God’s will and purpose is to have a personal, individual, intimate relationship with you.  He wants to reveal Himself to you personally, not through your pastor, priest or clergyman, but to just you.


Everyone I know that is really serious about submitting to and following God and His purpose has done so only after leaving denominational religion.

"True spiritual reality cannot be found in traditional religion with its rules and rituals, dead formalism, man-made authority structure, public worship, group prayer, false prophecy, miracles and lying wonders, doctrinal statements, self-help classes, recovery groups, children's programs or anything else it might have to offer."  


"And do you think traditional, institutional, denominational religion is where you go to find God and don’t understand that religion in its many forms is never what God intended and is, in fact, specifically designed by the world, the flesh and the Devil to lead you away from God? 

Do you think that everything I’ve said so far sounds sarcastic, hateful or just downright insane?  If you do, then at least consider that it comes from a guy who was involved in traditional religion for over 35 years.  And what I have to say about religion doesn’t come out of hurt or anger, but from a genuine love for God, for truth and for those who really want to know Him.  But I have to tell you up front; I didn’t really find God until I was willing to walk away from religion."
