Why Lordship Salvation is Wrong | Dr. Ralph Yankee Arnold |

[@annec988]

Thank you Dr Yankee. I know I am a sinner and I trust Christ as my only hope and Saviour. I know I cannot trust myself, I will never be enough on my own, it is only because of what Jesus did for me. Thank you Lord. Amen.

I have asked that multiple times while soul winning to people who say that they are not ready. "What is holding you back?" I have to do this or that, etc. I always tell them it is not about what you do for God, but what Christ did for you. You cannot clean yourself up.

[@jeffpaton9667]

The problem with your theory is, those that believe as you do never accomplish getting cleaned up! People think that they can be saved without any evidence of salvation, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

@@jeffpaton9667 That is where you are wrong. Once you become born again, your spirit becomes alive for the first time, and He convicts you of your sinful life. As you learn and grow by reading the Bible you will drop the old man habits over time. This is known as Sanctification.

[@Smerm]

@@jamesdiamond2302 The Bible says it is by belief in Jesus Christ. What do you need to believe? The Bible says that Jesus as God in the flesh died for our sins, he was buried and he rose again 3 days later and he will return again. James, we are all sinners and can’t ever do enough or be good enough but Jesus is perfect and believing who he is and what he did saves you. He adopts you as a child of God and will never leave you or kick you out ! If you believe in your heart Jesus died , and rose again and that he paid your sin debt, he gives you eternal life. You are born again ( spiritually) and he seals you forever and you can not lose this salvation he gives. Some people pray a prayer acknowledging Jesus and what he did for us. Although that is not necessary, if you want you can pray and tell him you know you’re a sinner and that you believe that he died for your sins and that you accept his gift of eternal life. After a person gets saved, start reading the Bible. I suggest you start with the New Testament book of John. The King James version is the best translation but can be hard to understand sometimes so a study guide is good Find a church that teaches the right gospel ( you can’t earn it or do anything to keep your salvation). Pray daily and ask the good Lord to help you in this new life he’s given you as you start learning more about our awesome Savior ! Some verses to help you John 3:16 Ephesians 2:8-9 I Corinthians 15:3-5 And, watch other teachings by Yankee. He clears up so much confusion about what the Christian life is all about.

[@177Jeremiah7]

Amen Mr. Yankee Arnold. Every born again Believer has a choice as to whether they will yield to the Holy Spirit or Not. This indeed is simply a Walk Issue in the life of the child of God. As a Street Preacher based in Florida, who preaches Faith Alone, I see how rare it is to find another Christian who also preaches faith alone out there on the Streets. Many whom I have encountered preach a "muddy" and unclear plan of salvation, which, of course is no plan of Salvation at all. And the reason is, most preach Lordship Salvation. Whether it is a pastor of a local church, an evangelist, a street preacher, or even an abolitionist standing outside of an abortion Mill, so many have added works to the Gospel. They preach such a confusing message because they have mixed Discipleship with Salvation. It is truly sad, when so many have corrupted the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God did not make salvation hard. He made it simple and easy. It surely can get lonely some times as a Faith Alone preacher, but I will not compromise on the truth of the Gospel, and as you mentioned, I will not change the message of the Gospel, simply because some Christians are living like the world. Salvation has and always will be a Free Gift, by Grace through Faith. And Discipleship is by becoming a Doer of the word, two separate issues.

As Mr. Yankee Arnold also mentioned in his message, those who add works to Grace, they are the very ones who are attempting to cheapen it.

Lordship Salvation (LS) is nothing new. It has been around since the Apostle Paul, which Paul addressed in the book of Galatians. Hear the inspired Word of God.... ‭Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Galatians‬ ‭3:2‭-‬3‬ ‭ Paul is calling out LS, a damning heresy that was popular back then and is still popular in churches everywhere today. It is a serious error that is taught by false teachers like John McArthur and John Piper and many other celebrity teachers; it is largely accepted uncritically. I'm sure you've heard this manifestation of LS before.... ....We are justified by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone.... Let's unpack this profound theological statement; I will demonstrate the damning heresy imbedded in it. I will refer to Galatians 2:2-3 in parentheses, translating the statement above according the inspired Word of God.... 1. ‭"We are justified by faith alone.... (recieved the Spirit by hearing with faith), 2. ...but not by a faith that is alone ("Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?) Galatians‬ ‭3:2‭-‬3‬ ‭ Paul is basically correcting the Galatians who became Christians by faith in Jesus Christ, but fell into the serious error that they must finish their salvation by works; a hybrid of faith in Jesus Christ melded together with obedience to the Law. Sound familiar? This damning heresy is still around today, popularized by the notion that there must be works in the life of a professing Christian. They must persevere, they must be obedient, they must submit to the Lordship of Christ, they must do more and try harder, and if these works are not present in the life of a professing Christian then they are not a Christian. The end result of this is that you become a Pharisee. Under LS you become worried that YOU are not doing enough works to prove your justification, which leads to despair. Therefore, YOU must do more and try harder to, YOU must be obedient to God's Laws, and YOU must persevere to the end. And when you finally succeed, then YOU become proud of YOUR efforts, that Is, until you begin to worry again that YOU are not doing enough works to prove your justification, in an endless cycle of pride and despair. Do you see how LS is bondage to the Law of God and not freedom from the Law by faith in Jesus Christ? This is no small matter. We are either justified by faith or justified by works, and the two can not be mixed. Its all or nothing. The Bible clearly teaches over and over that we are justified/saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law. Please read God's Word. It is clear as day.... And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Romans 4:5 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. Galatians 2:21 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 3:28 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” Galatians 3:11 And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith- Philippians 3:9 Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:16 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20 Given the clear and unmistakable teachings in the Scriptures that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law, can you please explain to me how the absence of good works in the life of a professing Christian who has faith in Jesus Christ is not saved? Please reply

[@zebra2346]

It is commonly taught by false teachers that a person is not saved by good works, but that they will necessarily demonstrate good works because they are saved. Therefore, if someone does not demonstrate good works as a professing Christian, then they must not be a Christian. Question: What are good works? Answer: Good works is this-obedience to the Laws of God-keep the commandments, be perfect, do this and don't do that, love God and love your neighbor, etc. The Bible clearly teaches over and over that we are justified/saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law. Please read God's Word, and then my conclusion for your consideration And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Romans 4:5 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. Galatians 2:21 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

Galatians 2:16 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20 Do you see the problem? The moment you point to your obedience to God's Laws to prove your salvation, you are basing your salvation on "your performance" and not the "finished work of Jesus Christ", contradicting God's promise of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law.

I’d be carful though taking out the stuff you don’t like…. The Bible warns against adding or subtracting from its contents because it is considered to be the word of God and is meant to be taken as a complete and whole message. Any addition or subtraction to the text could change the meaning and intent of the message, and therefore be considered a distortion of the truth. This warning can be found in several places in the Bible, including Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 12:32, and Revelation 22:18-19.

[@LilacDaisy2]

I'm watching as I have been wondering if free grace is right, after reading in John, where Jesus said he spoke in parables so that the hearers would not understand, because if they understood, they may believe, and if they believed, they WOULD be saved. Also, that Judas never believed. It's just the verse of Paul, saying that whoever does not love the son is cursed, that confuses me still. I'm unsure how a saved person can be cursed, yet every little sin is not loving Jesus. A few kinks to work out, but I look at Jesus' atoning work as so much more powerful, if free grace is true.

“His servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness.” (Rom. 6:16). “In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,…” (1 Jn. 3:10). “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (Rom. 8:6). “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not after the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” (Rom. 8: 12-13). “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Ezek. 18:4). “But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned” in his sin that he hath sinned, in them he shall die.” (Ezek. 18:24) Shame on the person who would discard God’s words on the issue by shoving it all off as something from the past that does not apply to Christians today! It is confirmed in the New Testament as well as the Old. “But every man is tempted, when he drawn is away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err brethren.” (James 1:15).

The Burden of all the sins of the the world was born upon the cross by The Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who places the burden of sin upon a sinner to be saved is proffering a false gospel of self righteousness. Jesus paid it all, and he died in our place, taking the punishment we deserve. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ’s best through (repentance) belief and Faith (trust). God will not save anyone trying to be saved by their own actions (works). God will only save those who know they need a savior, and are trusting in him to be saved. The only requirement to be saved; is to admit you are a guilty sinner in Gods sight (Romans 3:19-26) and to turn to Jesus Christ in Faith trusting in his death burial and resurrection Romans 10:9-13) You as an ungodly sinner to be saved. No one has ever been saved except the ungodly (Romans 4:5-8) God does not save the self righteous, who who are going about attempting to establish their own righteousness. (Matthew 7:21-23) we can only be saved by Gods righteousness which is through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:9 says And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that righteousness which is of faith, through the risen Lord Christ Jesus who give me his righteousness, for I have none save his. “Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1:3-8‬ ‭KJV

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.… John6:47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. colossians1:20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross. psalm103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities. psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 2 corrin 5:19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

A lot of wrangling over words. Lawyering the text. Marketing and differentiating over small matters. No one gets saved easier because of the pure grace message or puts it off the decision because vague works may be implied. What is true is that anyone touched by the Master will bow to Him or flee Him. Intuitively they know they will build on the Rock or He will be the Stumbling Block that destroys. Few people will have a story like Augustine. By far those who want to wait for later have made the decision and later is a fleeing tactic. At the moment of what-will-I-do? decision religious doctrine is not in play. Spirit is in play. Oh, come on, just say yes, it's a free gift. A person rationalized into Messish through doctrine will have a rational, not spiritual, arrangement. Nothing grows in a rational arrangement. In a rational relationship. The weeds rise and the cares of the world choke the life out of them and they fade away. He who endures to the end shall be saved.

I worry about people who think you don't have to obey God to make it to Heaven. The Bible says so plainly that if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. The devil deceives people today just like he deceived Eve when he told her she would not die.

[@YankeeArnoldMinistries]

Believing what Christ said on how to get to Heaven is obeying him. Read John 3:16 where Jesus said to just believe and I would not perish (go to Hell) and I would have everlasting Life (go to Heaven). What part was Jesus the Lord lying about? Evidently, Jesus is not your Lord!!!!! Yankee

[@GracieDontPlayDat]

Psalms 118:18 The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death. ->. Even in the Old Testament, a believer doesn’t die as an immediate result of sin, but of original sin, and they gave sacrifices for their sins. Now Jesus completed every sacrifice, ever. Do you know someone who hasn’t died, or will not die? All flesh dies until the event called The Resurrection. The Resurrection is the Gospel. Sinful man who dies can be resurrected, because Jesus was resurrected in flesh like ours.

No one will be in heaven unless they have faith in Christ. This is Bible 101. Faith in Christ means making him your lord. If you have faith in your sin, then your sin is your lord. You cannot serve 2 masters. I have lost a lot of respect for you today Yankee.

[@YankeeArnoldMinistries]

I’m sorry but I do not make Jesus Christ a savior and I do not make him a Lord that is who he is and saving people is what he does when I trust Christ is my savior that was my decision to trust him for what he did on the cross for me When I decided to serve the Lord after I was saved I wanted Christ to be the Lord of my life but not to be saved keep them separate and you would understand the Scriptures salvation is free a gift of God not of works but serving the Lord is something I do after I’m saved if I choose to do so If I do not have your respect now it’s only because I never did because my messages have never changed I’ve been preaching the same thing for 62 years listen to many of my other sermons and it will verify that what I’m telling you the truth thank you and God bless Yankee

@@YankeeArnoldMinistries Salvation is a simple IF/THEN statement IF you put your faith in Christ 1) you are saved, 2) you are making him your lord. IF, after being saved, you put that faith elsewhere, you 1) are no longer saved, 2) you choose to make something else your lord. This is not a hard concept. The New Covenant says that IF we put our faith in Christ, THEN Christ will save us. Not IF we put or faith in Christ at least once before we die. We are called to endure until the end. How do we do that? By making Christ our lord. You really should know this. Salvation is free, but we cannot have Salvation if we do not keep the covenant.

[@JesusPaidItAll]

@@pipkinrahl7264 Enduring to the end is talking about physical salvation. The whole context is about the people alive during the tribulation. Its not talking about eternal life and going to heaven. If you must endure to the end and have works to prove your salvation, tell me what works did Lot do to prove his salvation? Where is his changed life?

[@salvationzone9532]

​@@pipkinrahl7264 “Salvation is a simple IF/THEN statement IF you put your faith in Christ 1) you are saved” Up to this point you are correct. If you trust in Jesus’s finished work on the cross in HIS own blood, on your behalf, then you are saved and always will be saved. “, 2) you are making him your lord.” (You are making?) Really? Salvation is never based upon any merit of our own. Jesus finished it, not your filthy rag works of self righteous obedience you’re trying to add to salvation. Shame on you. “IF, after being saved, you put that faith elsewhere, you 1) are no longer saved,” Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, not the other way around. What Jesus began in us can never be undone, not even by ourselves. ALL that the Father has given him he will never cast out or lose, not even one. “2) you choose to make something else your lord.” Stop projecting. You’re making your self righteous filthy rags works of obedience your lord. “This is not a hard concept.” Well evidently it is for you. The gospel is simple. Believe in what Jesus did for you according to the scriptures and your saved, PERIOD! “The New Covenant says that IF we put our faith in Christ, THEN Christ will save us.” Correct. So stop trying to add to it, duh! “Not IF we put or faith in Christ at least once before we die.” What did the thief on the cross do. He put his faith in Jesus once and then died and yet Jesus himself said he would be with him in paradise. “We are called to endure until the end.” Clearly you don’t know how to rightly divide the bible. That scripture was spoken to the pre cross jews and not to the church which wasn’t revealed until Paul after the cross. “How do we do that?” I’ll tell you. By rightly dividing the bible, and taking the whole of bible in context, line upon line, precept upon precept scripture with scripture. If you don’t follow this prescribed method that the bible explains then your doctrine will get all screwed up. “By making Christ our lord.” Jesus is the savior of the world and of both you and me. You seem to think that some future sin can surprise Jesus. Not so. ALL of our sins where yet future were they not when he died for them 2000 years ago. He’s seen them all and forgiven them all. “You really should know this.” Clearly you don’t, hypocrite! Being a hypocrite is a sin by the way. “Salvation is free,” finally, we agree on something. So stop trying to add to it. “but we cannot have Salvation if we do not keep the covenant.” So what are you a pre cross jew or something.

@@salvationzone9532 TL;DR To give you a quick response and not submit you to a wall of text, yes, we, every one of us, choose to make Christ our lord and by doing so, we are saved. I don't know what else is in your rant but frankly, if it made as much sense as the first sentence of yours, I didn't miss anything.
