What Ozzy Osborne said about being Christian & the Bible Before Death
In all his videos and Statement of Beliefs on his website, Dylan plainly requires that you not only accept Jesus as your personal Savior, but ALSO as your personal “Lord.” To an unlearned Christian, that addition may seem to be harmless since Jesus is the Lord. However, you need to know that when Dylan Novak refers to accepting Jesus as “Lord,” he means recognizing Christ as the supreme authority in your life, which involves a commitment to follow His teachings and guidance. This acceptance signifies a personal relationship with Jesus, where individuals trust in Him for salvation and strive to live according to His will. This is another gospel.
Ozzy Osbourne’s Departure Sparks Spiritual Questions
John Michael Osbourne—better known as Ozzy Osbourne—succumbed to his battle with Parkinson’s disease this past week at the age of 76. Much has already been written about the former frontman of Black Sabbath and how his legacy shaped not only the emergence of heavy metal but of the broader entertainment culture as well.
What’s perhaps most interesting—and maybe unexpected—is the number of conversations his death has sparked about spiritual things. Chief among them, his own spiritual beliefs. READ MORE
Sadly, all of Ozzy's rhetoric about believing in God wasn't enough to save him from Hell. I sure hope that he went to Heaven, but we won't know under the afterlife.
On their BGEA website the following demonic heresy is what they teach you must do to be “born again”...
Dylan's Deadly Misunderstanding Of The Gospel
Nowhere in the inspired King James Bible do we read that to get to Heaven you must accept Jesus as your “Lord.” Pilgrim's Progress author John Bunyan (1628-1688) said it best:
“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —John BunyanIn the preceding video Adrienne Bankert asks Dylan Novak the question:
“With Ozzy, do you know if he ever prayed the prayer of salvation?”
Dear reader, you don't get saved by praying a prayer of salvation, you get saved by faith (taking God at His written Word) to accept Christ's sacrificial death on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that He was buried, but then resurrected physically from the dead three days later. This is “the Gospel” (Good News) by which all who believe it are instantly, irrevocably and permanently saved (1st Corinthians 15:1-6; Romans 1:16).
In the neo-evangelical video, Dylan mentions the thief on the cross who did nothing but, ”he acknowledged with his lips that Jesus Christ is Lord.”“Well maybe Ozzy gave his life to Christ at the end.”
Again, this is not how you get saved dear reader. Judas Iscariot gave his life to Christ, becoming one of Jesus' very apostles. Yet, Judas died in his sin of unbelief and went to Hell forever. The false prophets in Matthew 7:21-23 devoutly followed Jesus, calling Him: “Lord, Lord.” They boasted of having done “many wonderful works” in Jesus' name, but Jesus still denied knowing them as His redeemed sheep. They had failed to do the will of the Father in Heaven, which we learn in John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” I don't see anything in that passage about accepting Jesus as one's “Lord” to get to Heaven. Wicked preachers have perverted God's simple plan of salvation, adding and embellishing the gospel.
At about 12:45 minutes into the video, Dylan says:
“We don't know because if you look at the thief on the cross, that thief on the cross didn't do anything to further the gospel. All he said was, "Remember me, Lord." He acknowledged with his lips that Jesus Christ was Lord. And Jesus said, "Today you will be with me in paradise." He didn't have to be baptized. He didn't have to go to seminary. He didn't have to go profess Christianity or following Christ to anybody. He believed and he was saved. So again, we see through scriptures. It doesn't matter when as long as you give your life to Christ. And it's with a sincere transformation, change, and acknowledgement in your heart.” SOURCE
Oh my, that's the Satanic deception of Lordship Salvation (which is rotted in Calvinism).
The Deadly New Living Translation (NLT)
The NLT that Dylan gave Ozzy Osbourne as a gift is of the Devil. Unfortunately for Ozzy, the so-called “Bible” that Dylan gave him which is “easier to read” contains ALL of the same corruptions as all of Satan's modern English Bible revisions. Case in point...
Do you see how the NLT perverts the truth of God Word? The Greek verb for “repent” in Mark 1:15 means “to think differently.” It DOES NOT mean to repent of your sins!!! Wicked but well-meaning men changed God's Word. Proverbs 30:5-6, “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Anyone who tells you that God won't save you unless you are first willing to repent of your sins, to be willing to clean up your life of sinful bad habits, has been inspired by demons.KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) - Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT) - Mark 1:15, “The time promised by God has come at last!” he announced. “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!”
Biblically, you don't need to feel some deep profound regret, sorrow or a desire to reform to be saved; but you do need to acknowledge that you are a guilty hell-deserving sinner. You need to know why you need to be saved (because you are a sinner), and from what you're being saved from (burning in Hell forever). We are SINNERS and Jesus is the SAVIOR.
Dear friend, Christ died on Calvary's cross 2,000 years ago to pay for your sins and mine. Why would He demand that you be willing to forsake your sinful ways to be saved, which very idea is IMPOSSIBLE? No one has ever turned away from their sinning. You may clean up your life enough of sin to live above reproach, but you can never rise above sinning; no one can. If salvation is truly by grace, then you don't need to start or stop anything to be saved. Eternal life is a free gift from God (Romans 6:23).
After watching the video, it does sound like singer Jerry Lee Lewis did go to Heaven, because he simply trusted Jesus as his personal Savior. But what Dylan is preaching about accepting Christ as one's “Lord,” giving your life to Christ, and experiencing sincere transformation and change, is NOT God's simple plan of salvation. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!! Dear reader, since what someone believes will determine where they spend eternity, it is imperative that we present the gospel correctly. I love what Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold said:
“There is power in this Gospel message. Most people just don't know how to present it... The clarity of the Gospel is what makes it easy for them to believe.”—Pastor Yankee Arnold, “WHY GRACE CAN SAVE THE WORST MAN!”
I have no doubt whatsoever that Dylan is 100% sincere, but he has been lied to and deceived by today's ungodly neo-evangelical preachers. I couldn't help but notice the name of Billy Graham emanating from a book on Dylan's bookshelf in the background.
Beware Of False Prophet Billy Graham (1918-2018)
So how can we be born again?
First, we must admit our sin—that we can’t live up to God’s perfect standard on our own.
Then we must ask forgiveness for that sin and repent, which means to make every effort in turning away from that sin.Finally, we ask Jesus to be part of our lives.
That’s when God’s Spirit penetrates our hearts to guide us and help us be more like Him. That’s when we’re born again. [emphasis added]
SOURCE: What Does It Mean To Be Born Again?
Where does the inspired King James Bible tell us to “make every effort in turning away from sin” to be born again? It doesn't! Billy Graham is a lying false teacher, as is his protégé Dylan Novak!
Also, where does the inspired King James Bible tell us to ask Jesus to be part of our life to be saved? It doesn't! Billy Graham and his foolish followers are hellbound infidels—imposters who masquerade as children of God. What you've just read is a false plan of salvation, which cannot produce the necessary new birth to enter into God's Kingdom. Billy Graham is guilty of mixing and confusing living the Christian life with God's free gift of eternal life, which is received by faith alone in the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ. These wicked men are preaching the Devil's fraud of LORDSHIP SALVATION!
In 1st Corinthians 15:1-6, the inspired Word of God plainly defines “the gospel” as three things:

- Jesus was BURIED.
- Jesus physically RESURRECTED from the dead three days later.
The only prerequisite necessary to believe the Gospel is to admit you are a guilty sinner, because you need to know what your being saved from. You are a sinner and so am I dear reader (Romans 3:10-23). There is a penalty (wages) for our sins, which is death (Romans 6:23). This includes a second death in the Lake of Fire forever (Revelation 20:11-15, 21:8).
The Bad News is that we are all guilty sinners deserving of being punished in the fires and torments of Hell forever. The Good News is that God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, into the world to die on a cross for our sins, to make a way of escape through His shed blood (Romans 5:9).
Biblically, you don't have to turn away from your sins to go to Heaven; but rather, Christ died on the cross to pay your debt of sin (and mine). Whatever changes God wants to see happen in your life after you get saved is His department, and you can be assured that He will attend to it. God is not an absent parent (Hebrews 12:6-8).

Jesus fully bore the weight and curse of our sins so that we don't have to. The Devil's fallacy of Lordship Salvation (which Billy Graham and his followers like Dylan Novak errantly preach) place the weight and burden of sin upon the sinner instead, which is an impossible burden to bear. Who can turn away from their sinning? That's right, no one. Psalms 130:3, “If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?”
Please be awake to righteousness! These devilish false prophets need to be exposed (Titus 1:9-14; Ephesians 5:11; Matthew 7:15; Galatians 2:5; Jude 1:3). I have been saddened when I attended local churches throughout Pensacola, Florida, and I've heard foolish pastors quoting and bragging on Billy Graham.

By partaking of Operation Christmas Child (OCC), tens of thousands of compromised churches across the country are supporting and wickedly bidding Godspeed (2nd John 1:11) to Franklin Graham (whose corrupt plan of salvation is the same as his father's plan of damnation). Franklin Graham's OCC has taken in billions of dollars, which Charity Watch Dog Groups have exposed for the organization's lack of transparency to reveal where the money is going. I won't give OCC a penny and neither should you!
The world is going to Hell while corrupt churches are dropping the ball about how to get to Heaven. Merely “becoming a Christ follower” is the popular teaching today in neo-evangelical dead churches, but that won't produce the required new birth to get to Heaven. Salvation only comes to those who cease from all their own works, and rest in Christ alone, relying upon His death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection from the dead three days later.

We get saved by receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full-payment for our sins, believing that He was buried, but then raised up from the dead the third day. 1st Thessalonians 4:14, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” That is one of my favorite Bible passages. Philippians 1:17b, “...knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.”
If Billy Graham went to Heaven, then there are at least TWO gospels. The inspired Holy Bible warns in Galatians 1:6-9 that there is only one gospel, which the Apostle Paul defines for everyone in 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. There is nothing in Paul's Gospel (which he received directly from Jesus according to Galatians 1:12) which requires turning or repenting of your sins to be saved. There is nothing in Paul's Gospel that requires giving your life to Jesus, becoming a Christ follower, or of experiencing some radical change or transformation of one's heart to be saved. In fact, if you are a child of God, your salvation did not change you a bit. I encourage you to listen to a classic MP3 sermon of the same title by my favorite preacher of the Christian faith, Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001). ...
Sadly, I Doubt If Ozzy Went To Heaven
I have combed the internet for information about Ozzy's beliefs, especially before he died. All I keep reading is that Ozzy believed in God. What saith the Scripture? James 2:19, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” I fully agree with Ozzy that you don't have to go to church to believe in God, but believing in God is not enough to enter into God's Kingdom. You must accept Christ's sacrifice on the cross 2,000 years ago as full payment for your sins, believing that He is risen from the dead! If that was Ozzy's only hope for eternal life and forgiveness of sins, then he went to Heaven.
Sadly, throughout his 50 year career as: “The Prince of Darkness,” I've never found any place on social media or elsewhere that Ozzy expressed faith alone in Christ as his hope for Heaven. Merely saying that one is a “Christian” doesn't make it so. Hellbound Mormons, Roman Catholics, Church of Christ, Jehovah's Witnesses, Greek Orthodox, Lutherans and countless other pseudo-Christian cults claim to be “Christian,” but they all trust in partial faith in Christ plus something more (works).
Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty.
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.
Turning away from sinful ways would be a work. Faith puts all of the merit where it belongs, on the object of our faith, Jesus and His work.
If to “repent” means to forsake our sinful ways TO BE SAVED, but Jesus already paid for our sins by dying on the cross, then what are we repenting from?
The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.
If salvation is truly by grace, then you don't need to start or stop anything to be saved. Eternal life is a free gift from God (Romans 6:23).
One is saved by God's grace through faith in the finished Work of His Son on the Cross as payment in full as our pardon for sin.
It is my earnest hope and prayer that Ozzy's family will come to the light of the truth of the saving gospel before it is too late. Only God, Ozzy and those already in the afterlife know where Ozzy went when he died. I sure hope he trusted Jesus as his personal Savior before he died. Believing in God isn't enough. Receiving and reading a new modern Bible version isn't enough. Getting excited about having a Bible that you can read is not enough. John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
