Acts 15:1-2 and 22-24, “And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. ...Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
I love this passage of Scripture from Acts chapter 15, because it confirm A group of false prophets came to Jerusalem preaching that you cannot be save unless you keep the law of Moses. Ladies and gentleman, that is exactly what all these fake preachers are wickedly doing today, adding the extrabiblical requirement that to go to Heaven you must “turn from your sins.” No such requirement is found in the inspired King James Bible. You might find that junk theology in many of the Devil's modern corrupt Bible revisions, but you WON'T find it in the trustworthy King James Bible which hasn't been tampered with.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) is praised, honored and uplifted by nearly every preachers today, but those pastor are woefully ignorant. And tragically, some of them have been told THE TRUTH and warned to stop promoting Mr. Luther as a born-again hero. In fact, Martin Luther taught his entire life the heresy of Sacramental Salvation.
Where does the holy Bible “solemnly command that we must be baptized or we shall not be saved”? From Luther’s own comments, it is clear that he required water baptism for salvation. This is called the heresy of Baptismal Regeneration. Many Protestant denominations today have been infected with Luther's damnable heresy. Sadly, most fundamental Bible-believing churches have also been caught up in the woeful Martin Luther deception.[I] affirm that Baptism is no human trifle, but that it was established by God Himself. Moreover, He earnestly and solemnly commanded that we must be baptized or we shall not be saved. No one is to think that it is an optional matter like putting on a red coat. It is of greatest importance that we hold Baptism in high esteem as something splendid and glorious. The reason why we are striving and battling so strenuously for this view of Baptism is that the world nowadays is full of sects that loudly proclaim that Baptism is merely an external form and that external forms are useless.... Although Baptism is indeed performed by human hands, yet it is truly God’s own action (1978, pp. 98-99). [emphasis added]SOURCE: Luther, Martin (1978), Luther’s Large Catechism, (Saint Louis, MO: Concordia).
Martin Luther was subtle, just as Satan—teaching that salvation is by faith alone, while simultaneously requiring baptism to be saved. Obviously, Luther didn't consider baptism a self-righteous work. The Word of God states in John 3:18, “He that believeth on him is not condemned...” I don't see any mention of “baptism” there. John the Apostle professed in 1st John 5:13 the purpose of his Epistle ... “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” Carefully notice that John never mentions baptism in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd John. By the way, John doesn't mention speaking in tongues either.
Romans 11:6 plainly tells us that if salvation is by works then it is no longer by grace, “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” If you add anything to simple childlike faith in Jesus as the Christ, then you have corrupted the saving grace of God and the Gospel. Such is of the Devil. Martin Luther taught works salvation. Every hellbound Catholic today who speaks of faith also believes that salvation comes only through keeping the 7 Sacraments of the Church in Rome. Of course, that is a false view of the Gospel and a road straight to Hell, fire, and damnation.
When I kindly showed these truths to the incompetent pastors of the fake Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, they laughed me to scorn and vehemently rejected THE TRUTH (Hosea 4:6). Those pastors are namely: Marty Herron, Joe Hansen and Jared Baldwin. I will have the last laugh in eternity when God vindicates my faithful preaching and stand for THE TRUTH (Romans 3:4). Tragically, all those wicked pastors care about is receiving their next undeserved paycheck. Granted, it is true that many pastors simply do not know THE TRUTH, but dear reader, I GAVE THEM THE TRUTH. I placed the books directly into their hands and spoke to them personally, but they dissed me to satisfy their wicked boss, Marty Herron. God will wipe that arrogant smirk of Herron's face on Judgment Day. Galatians 6:7, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” You cannot preach a counterfeit gospel and not have much blood on your hands!!!
What greatly disturbs me is that most pastors run from THE TRUTH. When I attend their shallow churches, they mark and avoid me as if I am the bad guy for befriending them with THE TRUTH. When the incompetent pastors of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, word quickly spread to other island churches, including the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam. Sean Quinlan (from Pensacola Christian College) was their pastor at the time in 2018.
Pastor Quinlan wickedly berated me, dissing my ministry, mistreating me with harsh words, simply because I TOLD THE TRUTH that Bob Jones University (BJU) today is pulling on the same rope as the Devil by promoting corruptible seed (Devil's bibles). BJU also preaches the Devil's tommyrot of Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation). When I kindly warned Sean Quinlan of what Harvest is sinfully preaching (which he already fully knew), he horrible said: “It is none of our business what they do at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam.” Although I'm sure the ungodly pastors of Harvest would agree with that, it is simply not true. Dear friend, IT IS OUR BUSINESS what any organization is teaching in our community.
How could anyone be a Lutheran? I mean, if you want to follow Catholicism, then go to the Catholic religion and do it, because that's all Lutheranism is—DIET CATHOLICISM!!! There's not a dimes difference between Lutheranism and Roman Catholicism as far as salvation is concerned, because THEY BOTH require sacraments to get to Heaven!
Folks, there are NO SACRAMENTS in the Holy Bible. Corrupt religious men fabricated those lies! So many Christians today have been suckered into Satan's lie that Martin Luther was a true believer. Yet, according to Luther's very own words in his Catechism that he wrote, there is NO WAY Luther could have been a Christian, since he added “Holy Baptism” and “Holy Communion” to faith. Neither of those religious terms are found in the Word of God.
As we learned in Acts 15:1 and 24, it is a false gospel to embellish God's simple plan of salvation, by ADDING more than God requires to be saved. God only requires that a man acknowledge his sinnership, and BELIEVE the Good News of Christ's death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection from the dead the third day.
Listen folks, Baptismal Regeneration is a damnable heresy which teaches that a person cannot be saved without being water baptized, and Luther taught this:
"Baptism works forgiveness of sin, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this..." SOURCE: Martin Luther (Luther's Small Catechism, The Sacrament of Holy Baptism)Apostasy is a “turning away from God.” Lutherans follow Martin Luther, not God. Lutherans don't obey the Holy Bible, Luther's Small Catechism is their Bible. Likewise, Catholics don't read the Holy Bible, but instead listen to the Pope and their wicked priests, following the tradition of the Council of Trent, and other manmade traditions. Jesus clearly warned that such traditions make the Word of God of no effect, “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition...” (Mark 7:13). Is this not apostasy, when men turn away from the Living Words of God and cling to lifeless manmade traditions instead? Yes, it most certainly is apostasy! “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar...” (Romans 3:4a).
God knows that I do not hate any human being (alive or deceased). I love everybody with God's love. Albeit, as a Bible preacher it is my duty to cry aloud against the wickedness that I see in churches today, and the apostasy and indifferent pathetic attitudes of pastors toward false doctrine, Devil's bibles and sin. Hey, if you're looking for a big sinner, you need look no further, you found him! I admit that I am not a very good Christian. I want to be, but like you and everyone else, this old flesh drags me down day by day, discouraging me. It is hard to be spiritual when you suffer in constant chronic pain 24/7 as I do (from stenosis, radiculitis and displaced disks in my neck from some old injuries).
God is more than good, and I have no complaints to my precious Savior and Lord, but I am nevertheless always hurting in agonizing neck pain, burning nerves throughout my body, both arms feeling inflated with air, the entire right side of my body feels half asleep 24/7, tight tension in my neck, drug side effects, et cetera. I'm always scraping the top of my bald head while getting into my car, because my neck has atrophy (stiffness), especially in the mornings before I stretch my neck. My health afflictions are a very heavy burden for me. But God uses my suffering to bless my ministry.
2nd Corinthians 12:9-10, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
If my calamities (my permanent painful health woes, heart-breaking fallout with numerous bad pastors, inexplicable pain of divorce and broken life, losing my home and retirement savings, et cetera), can all be used by my great God and Savior, for His purpose and glory to get people saved and make an impact for eternity, then I rejoice in it all. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus.
Dear reader, if all that I haven't shown you thus far still hasn't convinced you that Martin Luther is not in Heaven today, please consider what Catholics have to say about Luther:
“Finally, his teaching on grace is his legacy. For Luther God is both hidden and revealed. Even in the revelation you still don’t get inside the divine majesty. You get God through the bread and wine of the sacrament, through the waters of Baptism, through scripture and prayer. That’s a means of grace.”
SOURCE: The Surprising Catholic Martin Luther
Isn't that sickening friend? Catholics are praising Martin Luther for his heretical teaching that getting saved “by faith” means partaking of the wine of the sacrament, and the sacramental waters of baptism. That is what Mr. Luther heretically wrote and preached his whole life! That is NOT the Gospel of free grace defined in the inspired Word of God. The Apostle Paul defined “the Gospel” as three things in 1st Corinthians 15:4: Christ DIED for our sins on the cross, He was BURIED, and He RESURRECTED three days later. Amen and amen!
My friend Pastor Max D. Younce is a brilliant Bible scholar, the Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) of our generation in my humble opinion. Dr. Younce has authored a very helpful book exposing Martin Luther titled: “Martin Luther: Master Of Deceit” (YouTube sermons series).
So please remember dear reader that we must never expand, add-to, embellish or change God's simple plan of salvation, which is to come to God as a guilty sinner and place childlike faith in the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen; receiving God's free gift of forgiveness of sins and eternal life by faith alone. Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do! Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty! Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.
Martin Luther Was Not A Born-Again Believer!
