ARMINIANISM
ARMINIANISM.. is a false gospel that teaches Christ died for the
reprobate. Many Arminians teach unabashedly that their "Jesus" died for
absolutely everybody in the entire human race including Judas Iscariot
and all those who were already in Hell before the cross. I have talked
with many who say their "Jesus" died for the people who perished in
Sodom & Gomorrah and the flood. This is clearly not the Christ of
the Bible. It's another Jesus who cannot save.
Mt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if
possible, even the elect.
But do not take my word for it folks. You can find out easily enough.
All you have to do is start asking people if they believe Messiah died
for the elect and them only, or do they believe He died for everybody.
If they say 'everybody' then press them. Ask them if they mean
Absolutely Everybody in the entire human race. If they say Yes... &
they will, then press more. Ask if that includes Judas Iscariot and all
those who were already in Hell when He was on the cross! People from
Sodom & Gomorrah and the flood! If they answer Yes... and they
will... and you still think they are Christians then you are just as
unsaved as they are! You say you're still not convinced? You say I am
an arrogant, judgmental radical? All right then, turn up the heat more.
Ask them if they believe their jesus has satisfied Divine Justice for
all the sins of everybody in the entire human race. Show them 1John 2:2
and ask if Christ is the propitiation for all the sins of the
reprobate. Lots of people answer Yes when I ask them this. You want
more...? OK quote them John 1:29 and ask them if Christ has taken away
all the sins of Judas and the reprobate; all those who are now in Hell!
I guarantee you will get plenty of Yes answers. Most of you reading
this won't do such a thing... because when you
start asking these kinds of questions and find out where Arminianism
takes you you will be forced to go in one of only two directions. You
either must take a stand with Jesus Christ and His truth... and lose
friends and become a marked man/woman... or you must stand with the
Arminian as your 'christian brother'. But if you do the latter and you
die.... You will perish!
"But".. you will say... "The arminian is still saved because he is
trusting Christ. He believes Christ took his sins to the cross and they
are covered by the blood. Arminians give God all the glory for their
salvation."
No they don't! It is absolutely impossible to "give God all the glory"
while believing that Christ died for the entire human race at the same
time. If Christ dies for everybody but not all those everybodies are
saved then it is obvious that the Atonement does not save... otherwise
all for whom Christ Atoned would be saved. By this false doctrine a
person is not saved because Christ died for him. He is saved for some
other reason. The Arminian has a reason all ready & waiting in the
wings for you. A person, says he, is saved when he.... accepts Jesus as
his personal Savior; when he, by an act of his own free will, comes to
Christ for salvation. That is to say, if we take 2 people, both for
whom Christ has died, and one becomes a Christian while the other
perishes in his sin, what is it that makes the difference between these
2? It certainly is not the death of Christ. The difference is in the
sinner, who does something to "trigger" or "initiate" salvation. Of
course such false doctrine denies human depravity as it attributes some
ability to the fallen sinner to please God. He is able to do something
good. He is able to repent and come to Christ for salvation. In this
way salvation is the result.. not of the cross but of the activity of
the sinner. This is completely backwards to what the Bible teaches
about salvation. The Bible teaches that repentance and coming to Christ
are results of salvation, not its cause. Arminians therefore believe in
a backwards salvation. They believe they save themselves by their
'accepting Jesus as personal savior' whereas the Scriptures teach that
no one is able to do such a thing unless God regenerates
him.... First! And the only reason God regenerates anybody
is because His Son has paid the full price for all his sins.
The Arminian claims that Jesus took all his sins while at the same time
he rejects the words of the Christ of Scripture. If one does not take
all of Christ's words then he has no claim that Christ took all his
sins!
Lu 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of
him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory,
and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
The Arminian's 'gospel' is that he is 'trusting in Christ' and it makes
no difference what doctrine he believes... he's saved. This is also
true of many who call themselves 'reformed' & 'calvinists'. They
agree with the Arminian and say he is saved because he is 'trusting
christ' and he 'gives God all the glory'. But folks... you will find
the 'gospel' of "I am trusting Christ and am therefore a Christian
regardless of what doctrine I believe".... NOWHERE in the Christian
Bible! Therefore, Arminians are holding to a false gospel and are not
Christians. People who do not consider themselves Arminians, but hold
to the "doctrines of grace" and regard Arminians as Christians are
shaking hands with unbelievers and therefore share in their wickedness.
