A doctrine of demons!
A doctrine of demons!
Saints, the “once saved always saved” teaching is a doctrine of demons. A believer can lose their salvation through willful sin.
We must overcome and endure to the end and work out our salvation with fear and trembling!
“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels,” Revelation 3:5.
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved,” Matthew 24:13.
“Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” Philippians 2:12-14.
For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,” Hebrews 10:26.
Charging for the Word?
Saints, charging for saints to come to conferences and to watch a webcast is disobedience and rebellion to the word of God Stop following these celebrity preachers who serve mammon and not God if you are doing this as a minister you need to repent and trust God to meet the expenses.
“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give,” Matthew 10:8.
“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,” Proverbs 23:23.
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon,” Matthew 6:24.
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price,” Isaiah 55:1.
“And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting, and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables, and said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise,” John 2:14-16.

Brother Nugent is right.
The problem with “once saved always saved” is that it allows a Christian to take salvation too lightly. I liken it this example. You can be given a gift of a puppy. It is a gift. It is yours. However…if you don’t feed it and take care of it daily it will die. If the puppy dies, it is not the givers fault. It is the fault of the owner. We have to nurture a living daily relationship with our Father. Remember…
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22″Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23″And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
I know Kevin Nugent the Spirit of the LORD uses him. But in this message his emphasis only those scriptures that deals to human responsibility, with out mentioning GOD’s Sovereignty he lost balance of the presentation of the truth.Yes the scriptures he used and many more similar ones declare our responsibility. However salvation from the beginning to end is the work of Sovereign grace. If any doubts this Consider these scriptures. “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others (Ephesians 2:1-3) and Col.2:13 These and similar scriptures declare we came in to this world spiritually dead, totally depraved. It is the same grace that keeps us moment by moment.
In fact the scriptures said, our salvation is a finished.”For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified,” them he also glorified.Ro.8:29-30;
***Does anyone know the everlasting Father anymore.
The Faithful God of Abraham Isaac and Israel. Here is what he is like. Yes there is a doctrine of demons. We also know that God has not given us the spirit of fear but of Love power and a sound mind. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Every sin that we would commit he paid the price that’s why he is our Savior. Not only our Savior but the entire world especially to those that believe. Be it done unto you according to your faith. It is by his spirit that he wills in us to work for his good pleasure. In addition to all that goodness he moreover knows and has written in his book all the days of our life. Also, he is the author of Life. He is the life. He is the living word of God. So then ask yourself who are you? This is why we must test the spirit to see whether it is from God. God is LOVE any other spirit that comes not in Love but from condemnation and fear is not of God but it’s a nice cover up to seem to have spiritual authority when the only righteous one is Jesus himself. Even our best worship is but filthy rags. We must deny ourselves in everything ….that means accepting the fact the we of ourselves are no good and incapable of doing anything right and just when we think we are doing it right we deceive ourselves and end up false but what is false can be made real by the truth which is given generously below. :)
Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (the place of the dead), behold, You are there. [Romans 11:33.]
If I take the wings of the morning or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me and the night shall be [the only] light about me, Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You. [Daniel 2:22.]
Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them. How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! [Psalm 40:5.]
Psalm 139:7-12, 16-17 AMP

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). [Proverbs 8:22-31.]
He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent]. For it has pleased [the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him permanently. And God purposed that through (by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:16-20 AMP

Please explain these following verses spoken by Jesus Himself.
***DO YOU THINK JESUS WOULD LIE? OF COURSE NOT… YET YOU TURN AROUND AND SAY SO…
JOHN 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” [King James Version of the Holy Bible]
