A Special Note - The church shooting in Charleston, SC is one of the most evil acts I've heard. But something that really touched me was the love and forgiveness that the families expressed to the killer. Especially the guy who encouaged the killer to repent and come to Christ! All of this was on CNN for the world to see!
Opening Prayer - Heavenly Father we thank You for this opportunity to worship You and study Your Word. We're eternally thankful that the Holy Spirit has given us a knowledge about Your Word, the Bible, so that we can help lead other people to Your Son. We're especially thankful for the opportunity to do this series on false teachings. Please help us to not be deceived by these teachings. We pray that everyone who reads or listens to these sermons who are not a Christian will become a Christian. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

False Teachings
The Lord has led me to do a Sunday evening series on popular teaching in churches that has literally sent people to hell. The unfortunate thing is that these pastors and teachers refuse to admit that they are wrong and change their views. However, not all of these pastors and teachers are trying to trick people, but it is very important for you to learn about these unbiblical views and warn others so they will not be deceived by these false teachings. Therefore, please pass these sermons on to others.
Before I begin to warn you about teachings that are false, the Bible actually instructs members of a church to remove people from their church who claim to be Christians, but they refuse to stop their evil ways. This definitely includes proven false teachers who are pastors and Sunday school teachers. 1 Corinthians 5:12,13; 2 John 1: 9-11; 1 Corinthians 5:2,7; 2 Corinthians 6:14-16; 2 Corinthians 11:3-6,12-15; 1 Timothy 1:3; 3:1-10; and Titus 1:6-9 support this.
False Teaching # 29 -
Discipleship and Jesus' Lordship come after someone becomes a Christian. They don't have anything to do with someone becoming a Christian.
The Bible's Teaching -
Clearly Jesus turned away thousands of people from heaven because they were not willing to follow Him (see chapter 6 and 7 of this website - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com). You will find nowhere in the Bible that Jesus chased after the people who turned away from Him and said, “Just forget what I just said; please come back and just believe in Me.” Also, when Jesus said in Mark 8:35-37, “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”, He was clearly proclaiming that people need to be willing for Him to become the Lord of their life (Jesus takes over every moment, every area of their life, and they must be willing to say and do what the Holy Spirit urges and gives them thoughts to say and do throughout each day.
In conclusion, if you have asked Jesus into your heart, believed that He is the Savior, or prayed or made a decision to trust Jesus' death on the cross and His shed blood to erase your sins and let you into Heaven, etc., but you aren't living the way that was described, please follow this website - http://chriswaug5.wix.com/makingsure
If you have prayed or made a decision to become a Christian, but you are not sure that you are really a Christian (Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 21:18-22, 1 John 5:14, and Hebrews 11:1), you need to be sure - please follow this website - http://chriswaug5.wix.com/howtogotoheaven
