[Mark]

I don't know if you're familiar with Jason Cooley(pastors at Old Paths Baptist Church MN on Youtube - it's a small non-501c3/KJB-believing church) - but he's been getting alot of flack lately for pushing this heretical Lordship Salvation gospel.

Yes, it's true that we all struggle with sin in the flesh daily(Romans 7 and Galatians 5), and even the greatest prophets in the bible like David fell into grave sin(while Demas loved this present world more) - but nonetheless these same people who give him alot of flack end up missing the entire point of what he's saying - if they listened to his sermons carefully, the point he's keeps driving home is that the way 99% of Apostate churches in America give out a false bill of goods to the lost, ultimately their rotten fruit shows subsequently.(ie-saying a 1-2-3 sinner's prayer will NOT get you saved)

For example - what do you think of a sodomite, who SUPPOSEDLY got saved, but stayed in his/her lifestyle? Or how about a supposedly saved Christian who kept on fornicating, and acted like nothing was wrong? Or how about those that continue to warm up to other religions like Buddhism?

John 10:25  Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
Joh 10:26  But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Joh 10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Joh 10:28  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Yes, I understand having a changed life is NOT a requirement of the salvation gospel - but remember it's the LORD who does these things...

2Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Philippians 1:6  Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Big difference between lust and love.
