A Good Man But Still Lost And Hellbound

Acts 10:1-2, “There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

I watch the news on YouTube. I enjoy watching Lester Holt. He's a good man from all that I have seen and read, and I admire him. That is why I was curious of his faith. He seemed like someone who would be a Christian. I was saddened to learn that he is a devout member of the Church of Church. Sadly, Lester Holt attends the Manhattan Church Of Christ. I say “sadly because the Church of Christ are a religious cult. The particular church Holt attends is intentionally vague about their beliefs, but Church of Christ is Church of Christ.

The group teaches that to go to Heaven five things are required:

  1. faith
  2. repenting of sin
  3. confession
  4. water baptism
  5. continuing in the faith

No where does the Bible require repenting “of your sins” to be saved. It is false religion! Likewise, nowhere does the Bible require water baptism to get to Heaven. Again, it is false religion. Nor does the Bible teach that knowing one is eternally saved is conditional upon continued faith or holy living. Any theology that does not give a person the absolute immediate assurance of salvation is very wrong. I got saved at age 13, period, end of story! The way I live has nothing to do with the free gift of God, which is the new birth. Either you are saved today and always will be, or else you are not saved today and never were at all.

Also, nowhere does the Bible teach that a person must publicly confess Christ to be saved. Do you see friend that the Church of Christ is a Satanic religious cult, that perverts the grace of God? I hope you do. I did not write this blog to attack Lester Holt. I honestly don't think you could find a better man, in my humble opinion. I have never met him, but there's a lot of good information about Lester online, and I know a good man when I see one. I admire him, truly.

Albeit, as a born-again Christians since age 13 (I am now 54 years old), and a fundamentalist Baptist preacher since I was a teenager, I am obligated as such to PREACH THE TRUTH! I have no problem with Lester Holt, I have a problem with the heretical Church of Christ. They are teaching damnable heresy!!! Of the 5 things that the Church of Christ require to be saved, only the first one, faith, is biblical. The Gospel of John has been called, “God's Gospel tract.” John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” In the book of John we find the word “believe” mentioned 85 times, but there is no mention of confessing, praying, repenting, standing on your head or anything else to be saved, just believe. 

In Acts chapter 10 we read about a good man named Cornelius. He was a devout man, who feared God, prayed, fasted and gave alms to the poor. But he wasn't saved. It wasn't until later in the chapter, as the Apostle Peter preached the Gospel (the Good News of Jesus crucified, buried and bodily resurrected the third day) that Cornelius simply believed what he heard and was miraculously saved (Acts 10:43-44). We are saved by receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for our sins, believing in the risen Savior. Anyone who adds to faith alone cannot go to Heaven (Acts 15:1; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5).
