https://youtube/watch?v=PoTNdCBd2_g Theres something wrong here. Lordship Salvation. Hmmmm.... It sounds scriptural and appears biblical. So whats the big deal? Is it grace or is it works? It only means the difference between living a defeated life or a victorious one. Thats what the big deal is. Salvation is eternal, not temporary. This is simply what we believe to be true and here is why it is incumbent upon believers to reject the doctrine called Lordship Salvation: If one must reform himself prior to being saved, then there will be none saved. If one must remain without sin after he is saved in order to remain saved, then none will be saved. It is the experience of every Christian that, no matter the degree of his disdain for his sin, that sin remains a part of his human character. So, if any are to be saved, salvation must be contingent only upon the work that Christ did at Calvary and not upon anything else. The Lordship Salvationists attempt to argue away the inherent contradictions in their doctrine, but the contradictions cannot be explained away. Lordship salvationism is a dichotomy. It is legalism. It is impossible. You are relinquishing Lordship of your life when you trust in Jesus as your savior. You are saying I want YOU to be my Lord, I am trusting in you alone for this life and the life to come. I am surrendering my will to you Lord. Thats what salvation is, recognizing Christs Lordship over EVERY sphere and surrendering to that. In that process you are saved because you recognize Him for who He is; the Creator, the One who knit you together in the womb, Hes the faithful One, giving your life meaning and purpose and fulfillment. Hes the One who is the sovereign of the universe and you are submitting, bowing down to His Lordship. You are confessing that He is Lord. Thats what it means to be saved. You are saved from yourself. He is the Lord. He is the Savior. He is eternal and so is salvation. Jesus said Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Revelation 3:20 This video features the teaching of Dr Ralph Yankee Arnold. A real trooper this guy, he brings a whole new meaning to what the word apostleship should be. Now, with over 40 years of teaching the truth, Dr. Arnold is the pastor of the Calvary Community Church of Tampa, Florida. He brings the simple facts toward the simplest decision of choosing Christs unmerited favor from God our creator, over living a life trying to hammer out His favor and forgiveness through works of our own. So the question to the works/grace tweener would be: Did our savior die in vain that we would try to do this on our own to GAIN our salvation from hell? This is sinful and shameful to teach otherwise is it not? Many big name preachers are getting called out on this recently and now they are jumping like fleas on a roadrunner. We are not defeated! We are ETERNALLY VICTORIOUS through the undeserved forgiveness Jesus brought to the believer. When He, The Son of God paid the price on that ugly cross He said: It is FINISHED! The grace/works in-betweener says :Its finished but....
