Hey guys, this is Matt Powell with Way of Truth. I just want to do this quick video just giving
a warning about a couple of false teachers. Now, people often get on me about these videos,
and I understand I do quite a few of these videos, just warning people about false teachers.
But, you know, the Bible does say very plainly that if people bring a different gospel,
that you really have nothing to do with them. And so, and that you should avoid them. The
Bible says, mark them and avoid them. And so these people have crept into my circles,
and so I want to make it very clear where I stand on the issue, and why I stand where I
stand on this issue. So recently, Tyler Doka came out and stated, as well as Justin LeBlanc,
that they do not believe that once saved, always saved is biblical, and that they believe that a
saved Christian, somebody who's been born into God's family, could go to hell. And they believe
that, you know, you have to earn your salvation. In fact, the one, Justin LeBlanc just flat out
said, yeah, you earn your salvation. And so, you know, the Bible says that, you know, obviously
salvation is a free gift. If you had to do something other than believe and receive that
free gift, it's not a free gift. And so, you know, I don't believe for a second that men that speak
these things, or talk like this, aren't even saved to begin with. The Bible says that he that is born
of God heareth God's words. You know, the Bible says very, very clearly that a saved Christian,
excuse me, that a saved Christian could never go to hell, no matter what. You know, once you place
your faith in Christ, and you're born into the family of God, God would not abort you at all. And
that's what this is. This is spiritual abortion. Look folks, I understand we live in a perverted
society where people abort their children on a regular basis, but in God's Word, you know,
it's clear that God would never actually abort His children. And that's what these men believe,
and according to the Bible, we're supposed to mark and avoid them. You know, just a couple
scriptures on the topic. You know, Jesus said in John 5 24, He says, verily, verily, I say unto you,
he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me half everlasting life. So the moment you
hear His word and believe on Christ, believe on God, you have eternal life. And that's life that
goes on forever at that point. And then notice Jesus' wordings. He says, it shall not come into
condemnation. So He prophesies that once you get saved, you can't come into condemnation.
And He says, but it's passed from death into life. It's interesting that, you know, the Bible says
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, and it says that this is the second death. It's
interesting because it says that, you know, you're passed from death onto life. Christ said that. He
said you can't lose your salvation. And, you know, if you die and you go to hell, the second death,
you know, you didn't pass from death onto eternal life. You didn't even get saved to begin with if
you went to hell. So, you know, the Bible teaches this very clearly all throughout. And it's clear
that if somebody does not believe that God has given us eternal life, that they are not saved.
You know, and I'm not trying to be rude to anybody when I say that. I'm just being as honest as I can
with what the Bible says about it. And, you know, my church is filled with people that, you know,
didn't believe in eternal security before, and they weren't even saved until they realized that
the gift was eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. And so when they put their faith and
trust fully in Christ, they were able to receive that free gift by faith. And at no point would
they ever, those who have trusted in Christ, at no point would they ever go to hell for any amount of
time. You know, some people say, oh, it's just a temporary hell for some Christians, but then
they'll be resurrected to the great white throne. I mean, there's so many different thoughts out
there, but I just stick with what the Bible says. The Bible makes it very clear. And, you know, the
Bible makes it clear that if you did not believe that God's given us eternal life, you're not saved.
You know, Jesus says, verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the resurrection and the life. He that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die. Notice that wording. So Jesus point blank says that when you believe in his name,
if you believe on him or you trust him to get you to heaven, you're not going to be condemned in any
sense. And hell is condemnation. It's death. You know, that's why it says this is the second death.
So I just want to make it very clear where I stand on this issue. And, you know, this just goes to show
that we're living in some of the last days. And, you know, there's people that get off on these
doctrines. And folks, I'd encourage you, don't be liberal about things. And, you know, just be
accepting of all the cults out there. Put your foot down. You know, make it clear where you stand
with your friends, with your family, because in the end it shows that you love them,
and in the end they're going to take you more seriously.
