A Counterfeit Plan Of Salvation Is Being Preached In Nearly Every Pulpit Today

Matthew 7:15, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

One of my favorite books is titled: “I NEVER KNEW YOU,” by Michael P. Bowen. The following prolific words are from page 17 of chapter one...

I am at eternal odds with the false, counterfeit messages of salvation-by-works that are taught from virtually every pulpit today, on every television channel, and on every Christian radio station; however, I am not at eternal odds with the individuals who preach these counterfeit messages. My heart literally goes out to all of them because they simply do not understand Christ’s plan of salvation. They have been lied to by a crafty enemy named Satan, whose sole aim is to take as many people with him to the lake of fire as he can possibly manage to steal away from God using a counterfeit plan of salvation that appears so real, so genuine, and so holy that few ever realize they have been deceived by it. Oh reader, so many of today’s professing Christians who think they are going to heaven when they die are not going to make it to heaven as they had assumed because they’ve been lied to by today’s error-filled gospel messages. Radical? Yes. But I am nonjudgmental toward the bearers of false messages; I am only judgmental toward the false plans of salvation they emphasize as being equal to the plan of Christ. There is only one plan of salvation in the bible; therefore, there cannot be two plans. SOURCE

Michael Bowen is so right! A counterfeit message is being preached in nearly every religious college, church pulpit, YouTube video, book and film today.

Paula White Preaches A Counterfeit Gospel

For example: Here is the suggested salvation prayer of Pastor Paula White...

'Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. Please forgive me for all of my sin. I receive Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. Devil, let go of my life. I'm done with you. I renounce you right now. Holy Spirit, give me power that I may serve God until I see Him face to face.' If you prayed that prayer, welcome to the family of God. SOURCE

BLASPHEMY!!! What Paula White is teaching is NOT the Gospel. Nowhere does the inspired King James Bible require a lost sinner to pray a prayer, renounce Satan, make Jesus one's Lord, serve God and be done with the Devil to get to Heaven. Paula is a lying false prophet!!! Miss White has a net worth of $5,000,000. Truly, the love of money is the root of all evil. Miss White clearly doesn't understand or know what the Gospel is. It is obvious to me that she is merely repeating key words that she has heard, exploiting religion for fame and fortune.

In a word, Paula is INCOMPETENT. Moreover, the inspired Word of God strictly forbids women preachers! 1st Corinthians 14:34-35, “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.”

Tragically, President Donald Trump just hired Paula White as official spiritual advisor to the White House. That is a shame.

'UNSHACKLED' Preaches A Counterfeit Gospel

'UNSHACKLED' radio is produced by Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago, since 1950. In 'UNSHACKLED' episode #3187, the story of Henry Christian, the narrator says:

“Jesus said, 'he that is not with me is against me and he that gathereth not with me scattereth aboard.' Salvation begins with repentance: Turn from your wicked ways and follow the One Who said, I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” [emphasis added]

My friend, that is NOT the Gospel. PGM preaches a forked-tongued Gospel. They speak of the free grace of God in one statement, but then they tell people they must forsake sinful behavior to be saved. That is works! Receiving the “free gift” (Romans 5:15; 6:23) of God does not require turning away from your wicked ways. That is reformation! We read in Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Romans 4:5, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

UNSHACKLED is really unbiblical sometimes. Later in episode #3187, Henry Christian heretically says to his mother:

“I'm saved mom, I gave my life to Jesus Christ... Jesus will change your life too. Please, think about giving your life to Christ... Mom, if you put your trust in Jesus for salvation, He'll lead your life.”

Being saved doesn't mean having your life changed! Being saved doesn't mean letting Jesus lead your life! You don't have to give your life to Christ to be saved! You don't get better to get saved, you get saved to get better. Growth in grace takes time, as a new believer nurtures on the milk of the Word (1st Peter 2:2). UNSHACKLED's rhetoric may sound really good, but it is NOT the Gospel. PGM is wrongly mixing discipleship with salvation.

Nearly all of the UNSHACKLED episodes that I've listened to, automatically conclude that receiving the free gift of God mandates: following Christ, being led by Christ, turning away from sinful behavior, surrendering your life to serve God, forsaking the world and being completely transformed; yet, none of this is required to be saved. Pacific Garden Mission teaches Lordship Salvation, which is Calvinism, a false doctrine of devils.

Dear reader, RUN from false prophets!!! Any preacher who says that you must turn from your sins, or repent of your sins, to be saved is a liar. Christ came into the world to die on a cross to pay your debt of sin, and mine. Eternal life is the free gift of God; it is not an exchange or trade of sorts. Eternal life is a free gift that you simply receive by faith in Christ's death, burial and resurrection (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).
