In the following sermon titled, “ Jesus Explains His Message - Part 2,” Chip Ingram falsely teaches that a person must forsake their sins to be saved. Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
God sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to pay our debt of sin (John 3:16), so that all sinners could freely have eternal life if we want it. This includes the second death (Revelation 21:8). There is a penalty for sin, which is death (Romans 6:23). The Bible teaches that all men are guilty sinners (Romans 3:10-23). One of the deadliest false teachings today is the idea that a person cannot be saved unless they turn away from their sinful ways. This tragically includes our Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches. Heresy has crept into most churches today. Galatians 1:6-7, “ 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.”
