Appeasement Theology (Part 3)

Appeasement theology is not heresy, but rather apostate.  It denies the deity of Christ.
In a conversation with someone recently regarding their apostate views that I’ve deemed Appeasement Theology, they made the following comment:

Appeasement Theology (Part 2)

Appeasement Theology sounds good.  It’s popping up everywhere.  It appeals to the masses.  It says, “hey you’re not wrong.  We’re all right.”  It says that any thinking that excludes another way of thinking is bad.  If someone claims to present the “truth” then they are evil, because they have claimed a monopoly on “truth.”  While they claim [...]

Saved By Faith? Or Works?

We are saved by faith alone. It is our belief in Jesus Christ that saves us. We are saved the moment we believe.
However, what does it mean to believe on Jesus?
If I believe Jesus was the propitiation for my sins. That through His death, I can have life. How could I not love Him?

Once Saved?

I don’t want to start a debate here, because I currently sit on both sides of the fence. There has been an ongoing debate about “Once Saved, Always Saved.”
The question is: “Can one lose their eternal salvation, or once they come to faith in Christ are they guaranteed to enter into heaven?
I would have to [...]

What is the Gospel?

There is a common misconception about what the Gospel actually is. Many think that it is: “Jesus died for you and has a wonderful plan for your life.” Many think it is salvation. Ironically, I don’t think that the Jesus presented the Gospel in either of these lights.
