All sin-diluting gospels are false gospels!
“All sin-diluting gospels are false gospels. All man-pleasing gospels that leave out “repentance and taking up your cross to follow Jesus" are false gospels!" -Johnson and Pearl
Luke 24:47 Jesus said, “and that repentance [necessary] for forgiveness of sins would be preached in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:47 Amplified Bible)
“The Lord Jesus clearly said that “repentance is necessary for the forgiveness of sins” and that it must be preached to all nations. So for those cowardly pastors that dilute the gospel and “take away repentance” from the word of God, God will surely “take away” his part out of the book of life.” See Deut 12:32, Rev 22:19. – Johnson and Pearl
The Bible says, one must repent before he can be truly saved. In other words, you must repent before you can be justified by faith! One must first fully repent before he can be baptized in water and become a true Christian. One must first fully repent and take up his cross daily to follow Jesus BEFORE he can be truly saved and become a born-again Christian!
There are 35 NT scriptures that require repentance before salvation!
(Matt 3:2; Matt 3:8; Matt 3:11, Matt 4:17; Matt 9:13; Matt 11:20; Matt 11:21; Matt 12:41; Mark 1:4; Mark 1:15; Mark 2:17; Mark 6:12; Luke 3:3; Luke 3:8; Luke 5:32, Luke 9:23; Luke 9:23;; Luke 10:13; Luke 11:32; Luke 13:3; Luke 13:5; Luke 15:7; Luke 16:30; Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38; Acts 3:19; Acts 5:31; Acts 11:18; Acts 13:24; Acts 17:30; Acts 19:4; Acts 20:21; Acts 26:20; Rom 2:4; Rom 2:5; 2 Peter 3:9)
These 35 New Testament scriptures prove that: everyone has to repent before he/she can be truly saved. You have to repent before you can be justified by faith. The Bible never said that “you don’t need to repent, just believe in God and Jesus, and you can be saved.”
James 2:19 NIV
“You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
Take a closer look at this verse.
Devils, or demons, believe in God and Jesus, they believe God exists and they tremble, but that doesn’t make them Christians!
Just believing in God alone does NOT turn you into a true Christian!
The Bible clearly says, one must REPENT and believe in the (pure) gospel of Jesus Christ BEFORE he can be truly saved.
Also,
If the gospel you preach doesn’t include repentance you preach a false gospel!
“If you are under the dominion of sin, you are yet an utter stranger to the salvation of God.” -Catherine Booth
“There is no true conversion until a man repents and takes up his cross.” －Leonard Ravenhill
“I doubt that more than 2% of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.” -Leonard Ravenhill
“Present-day profession of faith is for the most part a mere sham. Only a small percentage of it is real.” －Frank Bartleman, 1906 Azusa Street Revival revivalist
-Leonard Ravenhill
False gospels cannot produce true Christians, just as a bad tree cannot produce good fruit, and wolves do not give birth to sheep.
False gospels will only produce false Christians! Jesus said, “a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.” (Matt 7:18)
