2 Corinthians chapter 6, verse 14, the Bible reads this,
"Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
"For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
"And what communion hath light with darkness?
"And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
"Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
"Or what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
"For you are the temple of the living God.
"As God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them,
"and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
"Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye separate.
"Not be united, not join up with every denomination,
"and every unbeliever, and everyone who is at darkness."
Look at me, the periods are darkness tonight.
Period.
You didn't hear the gospel until he was an adult
who'd been a Lutheran and a Pentecostal,
if he ever heard the gospel in those religions.
Better yet, go out and knock the doors
of the Lutherans and Presbyterians
and find 'em that'll say to you,
oh yeah, you just have to believe on Christ
and you can't lose your salvation.
It's the eternal gift of God.
Show me all the ones that believe that.
'Cause guess what?
You're gonna find person after person after person.
So do you know for sure you're gonna have 'em?
I hope so, I'm trying.
That's what you're gonna find.
And yet, I'm to unite with the Presbyterians tonight.
I'm to unite with the United Methodists
when they have a sodomite behind the pulpit.
I'm to unite with Pentecostals
who believe you can lose your salvation
and then speak in tongues and roll in the aisles.
And I'll get to that later.
If I even have time tonight.
But the thing is, they're in darkness.
They're not saved.
They're unbelievers.
They might talk, oh, but they believe in Jesus.
Another Jesus, another gospel.
See, that's why you're like,
why'd you go off on that game?
To make sure I nailed that down
before I even got to this part of the sermon
so that you'd understand it.
Because of the fact that these people,
yes, they claim the name of Christ,
but they're not saved, okay?
Many will say to Jesus in that day,
"Lord, Lord, if we not prophesy, in thy name."
And in thy name have cast out devils,
and in thy name have done many wonderful works.
And then we'll have to confess unto them,
"I never knew you."
Depart from me that work iniquity.
There are a lot of people out there
who are doing a lot of stuff in Jesus' name.
But God, we jammed for you.
We played your music, we sang praise and worship.
Depart from me, I never knew you.
You don't believe the gospel, you're not saved.
You're trusting your own works.
And notice, he said these false teachers, their ends shall be according to their works.
Oh, you want works to save you?
Okay, well, you'll be judged by your works and you're going to come up short and found
them wanting.
Now, there's so much music out there that's being put out by people who are not really
saved.
They're of these false denominations and that music is used to unite the saved with the
unsaved.
Let me give you an example.
I was driving through my hometown of Sacramento this week and I saw a billboard for Louise
Palau.
Okay.
Now this is some kind of a famous evangelist.
Now he looks real clean cut now, but when I typed his name into the internet I pulled
up this long haired image of him preaching a few years, just a few years back.
Long hair and he's preaching in Latin America and he's jiving and some woman is rocking
out like Janis Joplin on the stage.
Okay.
And it's like Louise Palau.
And here's the thing.
You know why people go to hear Louise Palau?
They don't know Palau from Howl.
They don't care who this guy is.
It's all about the music.
Because guess who comes in place before Louise Palau?
Toby Mack.
Dillons.
Bands.
You know, all these Christian, effeminate rock bands and Toby Mack who looks like he's
out of the village people and all these other groups.
Okay.
The Christian rock is what brings them in.
Because I remember when Billy Balaam came to town or Billy Baxter or Billy Graham or
whatever his name is.
Billy Balaam came to town in Sacramento when I was a kid and everybody was like, "You're
going to the Billy Graham Crusade?
Let's go to the Billy Graham Crusade."
Because so-and-so is playing.
And it was all about the rock.
It was all about the rock music leading up to Billy Graham's short service.
It was a rock concert, and then Billy Graham comes out and gives the gospel, which is not
the gospel.
It's another gospel.
False gospel.
And then people come down the aisle to be saved, and there's a Catholic and a Presbyterian
and a United Methodist to give them the gospel, give them the plan of salvation from whichever
brand of Satan that they event with when they get down.
Okay.
So here's the thing.
He says, "What's wrong with Luis Pala?"
He's bringing all religions together.
That's what's wrong with him.
He sent us a flyer, wanted us to be involved when he came through Phoenix, and he said,
"Here's a list of all the churches involved," and it was churches of every denomination.
And he said, "We have people from these churches trained to give the gospel."
So he's got the United Methodist, he's got the Presbyterians.
He had some church called Intimacy with Jesus Church, and I'm supposed to join up.
Hey, I'm Pastor Anderson from Faithful Word.
Oh, you're the pastor of Intimacy with Jesus Church?
Well, we have so much in common.
Oh, you're the pastor of the United Methodist Church?
Now, are you one of the 90% that are straight, or are you one of the 10% that's a homo?
Or maybe you're one of the ones that's supposedly the 90%, but you're just in the closet.
Because you're even a United Methodist, okay?
So, look, when somebody's uniting United Methodists and Baptists in the same crusade,
that's going contrary to this scripture right here, which says to be separate.
Come out from among them, divide, be separate.
So here's the thing, good music divides.
Jeremy, Jesus said, "Think not that I'm trying to send peace on earth.
I came to bring division."
That's what Jesus said in Luke chapter 12.
"I came to bring division."
