Making the case for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture by Helga Hickman

.
I wish to begin with something many believe to be part of the Rapture, but is not:

³⁷ But as the days of Noah were, 
    so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
³⁸ For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating 
    and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, 
    until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
³⁹ And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; 
   so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
⁴⁰ Then shall two be in the field;  
    the one shall be taken, and the other left.
⁴¹ Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 
    the one shall be taken, and the other left.
⁴² Watch therefore: 
    for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew 24:37-42

In the days of Noah, the ones SAVED were the ones who were left,
only 8, and these of the family of Noah, were spared!

The rest were taken away to face judgment upon the return of Christ!
Just as those from Noah's day will!



29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days 
shall the sun be darkened, 
and the moon shall not give her light, 
and the stars shall fall from heaven, 
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: 
and then shall ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN, 
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven 
with power and great glory. 
[NOT UNEXPECTED, WITH PLENTY OF OCCURRENCES 
TO GIVE PLENTY OF WARNING 
OF EXACTLY WHEN THE LORD WILL COME!]

31 And he shall send his angels 
with a GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET, 
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, 
from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:29-31


It couldn't be more obvious these occurrences have to do with JEWS (tribes!!), and DO NOT TAKE PLACE at the "CATCHING UP" OF THE CHURCH, when it is we MEET HIM IN THE CLOUDS!

Christians belong to no tribes, 

NEITHER DO WE MOURN at His coming!!

IT IS A MOMENT OF GLEE, TO LAST FOR EVER!!

WE ARE GATHERED UNTO CHRIST; no angels getting us!

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; 
We shall not all sleep, 
but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: 
for the trumpet shall sound, 
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, 
and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 
and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53


13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, 
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, 
even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, 
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, 
that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord 
shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: 
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another 
with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;

His coming is nothing we need fear, 

for we are ready and not asleep!

¹ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 
ye have no need that I write unto you.
² For yourselves know perfectly that 
the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
³ For when they shall say, Peace and safety; 
then sudden destruction cometh upon them, 
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.
[validates the above verse in Matthew 24,
about the ones left behind, then, 
are the ones who escape judgment]
⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 
that that day should overtake you as a thief.
⁵ Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: 
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; 
but let us watch and be sober.
⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night; 
and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, 
putting on the breastplate of faith and love; 
and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
⁹ For God hath not appointed us to wrath, 
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁰ Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, 
we should live together with him.
¹¹ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 
and edify one another, even as also ye do.
 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, 
by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, 
neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, 
as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: 
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, 
and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3

WE AWAIT A JOYOUS TIME, THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST!

Looking for that BLESSED HOPE, 

and the glorious appearing of the great God

and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Titus 1:13

Henceforth there is laid up for me a  
crown of righteousness, 

which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: 

and not to me only, but unto all them also that 
love his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:8

Thus, those who believe 

NOT in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, 

cannot "love" his appearing 

with all the wrath unleashed, now, can they?
Therefore, theirs will not be,
a crown of righteousness!

9 For God hath NOT appointed us to wrath

[THE WRATH UNLEASHED IN THE DAY OF THE LORD],

but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁰ Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, 
we should live together with him.
¹¹ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 
and edify one another, even as also ye do.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10

AMEN!

Ben Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan, on September 18, 1951. His mother, though under educated herself, pushed her sons to read and to believe in themselves. Carson went from being a poor student to receiving honors and he eventually attended medical school. As a doctor, he became the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital at age 33, and became famous for his ground-breaking work separating conjoined twins.

The following poem has always been one of my very favorites: 

Who hath a book
Hath friends at hand,
And gold and gear
At his command;
And rich estates,
If he but look,
Are held by him
Who hath a book.

Who hath a book
Hath but to read
And he may be
A king, indeed.
His kingdom is
His inglenook-
All this is his
Who hath a book.

Ex-Pastor Jack Schaap Seeks Minimum Sentence in Teen Sex Case by The Christian Post

.
This article is sure to work better than any syrup of ipecac, if you are in need of clearing your system!  I couldn't read the whole thing, since I broke out laughing at his not knowing about the law!  Oh! Neither did he know to come up with sermons, he'd complained, prattling out pathetic anecdotes, with hardly any scripture to be heard!  Perhaps if he didn't dedicate so much time to his "extracurricular" activities...

It just broke my heart to hear how stressed and depressed he was!  Indeed!  All that running around and hiding...

Ex-Pastor Jack Schaap 

Seeks Minimum Sentence 

in Teen Sex Case

By Anugrah Kumar | Christian Post Contributor

(Photo: www.fbchammond.com)

Jack Schaap, former pastor of First Baptist Church in Hammond, Ind., has requested in a new court filing that he be given the minimum 10-year sentence for his sexual relationship with a teen girl from his church. He blamed the affair on stress and depression.

Schaap, 55, was under great stress, exhausted and depressed at the time of the relationship, says a sentencing memorandum filed in U.S. District Court in Hammond by the megachurch pastor's attorney, Paul Stracci.

"Unfortunately, for a four-week period during the summer of 2012, he acted in a manner contrary to the entire balance of his life by engaging in sexual activity with a young woman with whom he had only recently come to counsel," Stracci wrote in the memorandum, according to The Associated Press.

Schaap, who pleaded guilty four months ago to taking the teen girl across state lines with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, was regularly working 100-hour weeks as he struggled to raise money for the 15,000-member church, handled additional counseling responsibilities, and had to lay off staff, the memorandum said. He was also being treated for chronic and acute inflammation of his prostate – all of that led to his "aberrant" behavior with the girl who turned 17 during the relationship.
"I was not aware of the law," Schaap said while pleading guilty in September, but added he knew that his actions were "sinful and wrong."

"While serving as the pastor of First Baptist Church, Dr. Schaap committed his entire life to the service of his local community as well as to the world at large," said the new filing, which was supplemented with 140 letters of support, including from his family, his church and pastors from across the country.

"We were known for our happy marriage, and it was not a hypocrisy; it was real," Schaap's wife, Cindy, said in a letter. [Really?  Is that why you always looked so very somber and sad?  Perhaps it was his telling you how it is that you "let yourself go" right from the pulpit, for all to hear!  Indeed!  A very happy marriage it must have been!]

"His preaching has helped me to understand a lot about my behavior and has been a great tool in the healing of my marriage and relationship with my children," Paul Collins, a church member, wrote in another letter.

The married father of two, who stood accused of having sexual relations with the girl and taking her across state lines to Illinois and western Michigan for the sexual encounters, was removed from his position at First Baptist Church in August after a deacon apparently found a text message on his cell phone that showed the pastor and the girl kissing. Schaap had even been counseling the girl, it was revealed.

U.S. District Judge Rudy Lozano scheduled the sentencing for Jan. 15. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Jill Rochelle Koster has asked the judge for a 45-day continuance in Schaap's sentencing, partly because of the size of the filing and time needed to respond to it.

[Gee!  No men wrote in support of this fool?  It perpetuates the reality that it is always women who are foolish enough to defend such garbage!]

Chris Christie Slams ‘Reprehensible’ NRA

.
Oh! My! The benefits to be had when in "public office!"
Here another hippo(crite) slobbering on the Demos!
He had such a great round, courtesy of Hurricane Sandy, didn't he?!
Now another tragedy he uses to bolster his 15 minutes worth of fame!

Obama 'elitist hypocrite'

NRA new ad Stand and Fight

 

Chris Christie Slams 

‘Reprehensible’ NRA

Posted on January 18, 2013

We seem to be getting closer to the announcement of Chris Christie switching his party affiliation to the Democrat Party. [Wouldn't come as a shocker!] The latest RINO statement from the governor really takes the cake in the current debate. Maybe someday Christie will realize that conservative values are what made this great nation and that defending our children is what it the topic is all about.

Here’s the story from Mediaite:

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed the National Rifle Association’s latest ad in which they accuse President Barack Obama of hypocrisy for sending his children to a school where they are protected by armed guards. Christie called the ad “reprehensible” and said that the NRA should not be “dragging people’s children” into the gun control debate.

“I think any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe,” Christie said on Thursday at a news conference in Trenton. “I’m a father who is a public figure, who has four children and my children had no choice realistically in what I decided to do with my career and what affect that has had on their lives.”

“Don’t be dragging people’s children into this,” he added. “It’s wrong and I think it demeans them and it makes them less of a valid trusted source of information on the real issues that confront this debate.”

Indeed, let's not "be dragging people’s children into this,”

Are these pictured above supposed to be props, and not real people? 
Ah, such a "courageous" President we have, indeed!

Your country in the hands of Democrats vs in the hand of Republicans

.
Fact is, EVERY STATE WHICH HAS A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR, HAS DONE BETTER THAN ANY IN THE HANDS OF A DEMOCRAT.  Sadly, this worked to the advantage of the fool we have sitting in the White House, last election.

A marked difference between a Republican and a Democrat is that the first has self-respect and pride; the latter depends on handouts from the government!

By the way, I am not a Republican, but a Conservative!

The Dispensation of Grace by Pastor Tom Bruscha

.
¹ For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
² If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
³ How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
⁴ Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
⁵ Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
⁶ That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
⁷ Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Ephesians 3:1-7 (King James Bible)

²³ If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
²⁴ Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
²⁵ Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
²⁶ Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
²⁷ To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
²⁸ Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
²⁹ Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Colossians 1:23-29 (King James Bible)

Doctrine of Salvation: an Introduction by Pastor Tom Bruscha

.
This video was presented as part of a long list, but this one bears standing on its own!

For the preaching of the cross 

is to them that perish foolishness; 

but unto us who are saved 

it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:18 (King James Bible)

Soteriology #1 / 

Doctrine of Salvation 

an Introduction

Uploaded on Jul 5, 2011 rightlydivide

"Soteriology" is a series that will cover Salvation through the Bible starting in Genesis and going all the way to the end of Revelations. This series ran from September 2007 to September 2009 and consists of about 100 sermons. You don't have to listen to these messages in any particular order; but it is recommended you start from the beginning as these messages have a continuing flow to them. Please feel free to leave comments or send me an email Matt@drawafish.com.

SALVATION... 

 
...IS the promise of God;

...WAS first revealed and preached through Paul;

...IS God's gift to all of mankind;

...IS by Jesus Christ;

...IS ours through faith.

And such were some of you: 
but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, 

but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:11 (King James Bible)

³ But I fear, lest by any means, 

as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,

so your minds should be corrupted 

from the simplicity that is in Christ.

 ⁴ For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, 

whom we have not preached, 

or if ye receive another spirit, 

which ye have not received, 

or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, 

ye might well bear with him.

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (King James Bible)

The Heresy Called "Hyper-Dispensationalism" by Dr. Peter S. Ruckman

 .
Update June 30, 2013: this post was written well before I got to have an intense DISLIKE for Ruckman, for since, he has removed all his videos, greed, no doubt, to be at the root of it!  Now his videos must be bought!  So much for soul-winning, eh, Ruckman?! You are a hypocrite!  I don't believe in re-writing history, and do not like to change what I have written, previously, reason for this update notice.
I really, really, really like Dr. Peter S. Ruckman, but, he seems to be way off his rocker on this!  I will tell you that I do have problems with not being scriptural, but, this is the very issue brought up by Dr. Ruckman!

One needs keep in mind what is said in Acts 16:30-31:

 

³⁰ And brought them out, and said, 
Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
³¹ And they said, 
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, 
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Acts 16:30-31 (King James Bible)

THEREFORE, it seems that Hyper-Despensationalists are believed to have to do NOTHING BUT BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, to infer, His sacrifice on the cross as FULL PAYMENT FOR OUR SINS!  

Thus, please continue to keep in mind, Hyper-Dispensationalists are FREE FROM THE LAW, "having to" obey nothing, but doing all out of the NEWNESS found in them:

¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: 
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
¹⁸ And all things are of God, 
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, 
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
¹⁹ To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, 
not imputing their trespasses unto them; 
and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
²⁰ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, 
as though God did beseech you by us: 
we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
²¹ For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; 
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (King James Bible)

My "rebuttal" continues at the end of Dr. Ruckman's article:

The Heresy Called "Hyper-Dispensationalism"

By Dr. Peter S. Ruckman

This article is a tract put out by the Bible Baptist Bookstore in Pensacola, FL.
This tract's availability is not known. Click here for Bookstore ordering information.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Hyper-Dispensationalists Teach

I. There is a period of time called "THE GRACE OF GOD," which began in Acts 9 (Stem, Baker, Moore, Watkins) or in Acts 13 (O'Hare and others) or in Acts 28 (Bullinger, Ballanger, Greaterex).

II. Water Baptism is not for "THIS AGE,' since "THIS AGE" began in Acts 9 or Acts 13 or Acts 18 or Acts 28.

III. Bible-believing Baptists are heretics who do not follow "PAULINE" teaching (1 Tim. 1:16).

IV. Since Paul did not COMMAND anyone to be baptized, it is UNSCRIPTURAL.

V. Since Paul was not "SENT TO BAPTIZE," water baptism is PREPAULINE (1 Cor. 1).

VI. The "ONE BAPTISM" of Ephesians 4 automatically cancels water baptism (Moore, Stam, Sharpe, Baker).

The Bible Rebuke of the "Hypers"

I. The "DISPENSATION" of Ephesians 3:2 was the grace which God gave to Paul to preach (Eph. 3:7, 1 Cor. 3:10, Col. 1 :29). Grace was "DISPENSED" to him. The "GRACE OF GOD" is found in every period of time (Gen. 6:8, Exod. 33:13).

II. The age of the ONE BODY and the "Church of the ONE BODY" began in Matthew 27 (see Eph. 2:12, 16) with 12 Apostles "IN CHRIST" (Rom. 16:7) before Paul was saved (John 17:21, 23).

III. Paul was baptized in water (Acts 9:18) and baptized some of his converts (Acts 16 33; 18:8, 1 Cor 1 14-16), even though he was an evangelist.

IV. Paul COMMANDED NO ONE to attend church, pass out tracts, prosylete Baptists who are already saved, or argue about water baptism.

V. He DID baptize (1 Cor. 1:14-16) and only thanked God that people weren't baptized in his name (1 Cor. 1:14-18). Paul was not sent by Mark 16:16-18 but he is the only Apostle who fulfilled that commission.

VI. The Corinthian converts who were baptized by ONE Spirit into ONE BODY (1Cor. 12:13) were baptized in water (Acts 18:8).

The Hyper-Dispensationalist's Perversion of Ephesians 4:5

Stam, Baker, Bullinger, Ballinger and Moore all take Ephesians 4:4-5 out of the context in which it appears (as any Campbellite will also do) and pretend that it is talking about WATER BAPTISM being replaced by spirit baptism. This explains why 95 percent of any "Hyper" "CONGREGATION" are ex-Baptists.

The context of Ephesians 4:4-6 is the unity of the Body of Christ, not "DISUNITY" caused by carnal Christians who say: "I AM OF CHRIST" (1 Cor. 1:12).

The same baptism that put Paul into Christ ("WE," 1 Cor. 12:13) put Gentile believers (Corinth, Ephesus) into Christ.

The same baptism that put "THE 12" into Christ (Acts 1:5) put the Roman converts into Christ (Rom. 6:1-3; 16:7).

One Baptism

Hypers teach two or three baptisms of the Spirit, although the context of ONE BAPTISM is ONE SPIRIT (Eph. 4:4, 5).

There are seven baptisms (Matt. 3:11; 28:11-20, Acts 2:38, Matt. 20:22, 1 Cor. 10:1-3, Eph. 4:4).

There are MANY lords and gods (1 Cor. 8:5) (note: Eph. 4:5-6).

The False Teachings Of Hyper-Dispensationalists:

I. PETER AND PAUL PREACHED "DIFFERENT" GOSPELS. If they did then Peter was cursed (Gal. 1 :8-9). God taught Peter the Gospel in Acts 10:43, which he publicly acknowledges in Acts 15:11, while ALL ARE PRACTISING ATER BAPTISM.

II. REPENTANCE SHOULD NOT BE PREACHED IN THIS AGE. Paul preached it constantly (Acts 20:21) and asked exactly what John the Baptist asked for when he preached it (Acts 26:20). Paul did this after writing Romans 16:25-26.

III. THE "BODY" COULD NOT HAVE BEEN AT PENTECOST BECAUSE NO ONE MENTIONED IT. Neither did anyone mention the complete abolition of the Law (Levitical) or the fulfilling of the Law (Acts 13:38-40) though both (Col. 2:14-16) were accomplished FACTS (Gal. 3:13).

IV. MATTHEW 28:19-20 IS LIMITED TO THE TRIBULATION. Pure conjecture (see 1 Tim. 6:3, written to saints in "THE ONE BODY). The "ALL THINGS" of Matthew 28:20 does not include all PRECRUCIFIXION instruction, which is apparent to anyone by comparing Matthew 10:1-10 with Matthew 28:19-20 and John 13-17.

The Tribulation had NOT begun in 33 A.D. Note: "UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD."

V. PAUL WAS DECEIVED ABOUT WATER BAPTISM AND THE "ONE BODY" UNTIL HE WROTE EPHESIANS 3-4 (after Acts 28). Then he sinned against God in not confessing it. He sinned against YOU in not telling you straight out in plain clear-cut commands (note: 1 Thess. 5 and Rom. 14) not to make the same mistake. Every Christian leader in the New Testament was baptized in water: none of them "REPENTED" of such an action.

The "Congregation" of the Hyper "Congregation":

I. Men who were called to preach but chickened out because of:

   * Financial reasons (no faith).
   * Laziness (no zeal).
   * Being afraid to speak up publicly against sin and sins (no courage).

II. Men who cannot preach but want to attract attention as a "BIBLE AUTHORITY"

III. Young men and women who are dating (or have married) a "HYPER" and have to espouse the heresy in order to "GET ALONG" with the "object of their affections."

IV. All Hyper preachers (as all Campbellite elders and Charismatics) spend their "MINISTRIES" trying to put young men out of SOUL WINNING work of the MINISTRY.

V. All Hypers have an "anti-Baptist fixation" which so obsesses them that they are forced to argue about water baptism EVERY TIME THEY MEET A NEW CHRISTIAN (ditto: Campbellite).


Summation:

"Dry Cleaning" is a cult: not a denomination. Its foundations are deliberate perversion of BIBLICAL TRUTH.


Oh! My! "Against Baptists" and "deliberate perversion of BIBLICAL TRUTH.!"  A bit overdone, no doubt!

Well, what Hyper-Dispensasionalists "must do" or not, I do not know, but I do know that I have heard no such in Pastor Bruscha's sermons.  Indeed, he does not believe in water baptism.  Well, if it is NOT a means to obtain salvation, WHY must we do it?? As "obedience" I am told!  Obedience?  to whom?  to what?  That would be a WORK, and we are FAITH-driven!

"For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
² If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
³ How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
⁴ Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
⁵ Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;" - Paul says in Ephesians 3 in the KING JAMES BIBLE!


My goodness!  Here it is IN THE WORD OF GOD stating about the DISPENSATION OF GRACE!  Of course, there was grace to be had all along the Old Testament, but THIS IS A DIFFERENT GRACE, and I remember hearing Pastor Bruscha elaborating on this in a sermon!  

What is the big deal what you call it!!  It is that we are now no longer under the Law!  It seems it is taught by the likes of Dr. Stauffer, and he is not called a hyper-anything!

But if ye be led of the Spirit, 

ye are not under the law.

Galatians 5:18

Here Paul "flew" to Galatia when he heard that Peter demanded circumcision be added in order to obtain salvation:

¹ O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
² This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
³ Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
⁴ Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
⁵ He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
⁶ Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
⁷ Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
⁸ And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
⁹ So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
¹¹ But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
¹² And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
¹⁴ That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
¹⁵ Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Galatians 3:1-15 (King James Bible)

It seems that we have added a thing or two, and this scares me!  Once saved, I need DO NOTHING to continue saved, much less obey any "tradition" of water baptism, confessing my sins, etc..  I am truly appalled at some of the statements made in what is a tract.  I would be ashamed to peddle it.

And on the subject of "peddling," Paul says we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, therefore, we are to be soul-winners! 

I find my very good friend and sister in Christ to be in error here, judging Pastor Bruscha to be a Hyper-Dispensationalist who would not believe in the great commission.  Were it so, he would not have a YouTube channel and a web-site designed to reach out to garner more souls for Christ! 

The thief on the cross was not denied salvation because he was not baptized nor confessed his sins!  HE BELIEVED IN CHRIST!

³⁹ And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, 

If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

⁴⁰ But the other answering rebuked him, saying, 

Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: 

but this man hath done nothing amiss.

⁴² And he said unto Jesus,

Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

⁴³ And Jesus said unto him, 

Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

 Luke 23:39-43 (King James Bible)

For sin shall not have dominion over you: 

for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 6:14 (King James Bible)
