What a fool! Mr. Barnard is
teaching the satanic heresy of Lordship Salvation! I plead with you my dear
friend to read the following passage of Scripture. Don't be conned by Rolfe
Barnard's fancy religious words! The inspired words of God are our ONLY
authority...
Galatians
3:1-3, “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? This only would I learn of you,
Received ye the
Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so
foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”
You don't get saved BY FAITH, and
then perfect or prove your faith WITH WORKS!!! That was the dire sin of the
corrupt church group at Galatia. They heard the apostle Paul preach the
Gospel, but then after Paul left, a group of false prophets crept in who
required circumcision to be saved. This was a false Gospel. Paul plainly
asks them how they got saved... BY THE HEARING OF FAITH? Or was it BY THE
DEEDS OF THE LAW? It cannot be both. Ladies and gentleman, we are saved by
faith alone in the Gospel (Good News) of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Here is an excellent quote from
Pastor Max D. Younce:
“He [God] did everything, so that you would
have to do nothing, except receive it as a free gift! And God says, 'I love you
so much that I gave My Son to pay for your sins. Will you believe it? And if you
will (believe/trust, used interchangeably in the Bible), will you simply believe that Jesus Christ
died for you? And God says, 'If you'll do that, I'll promise you on the
authority of My Word, that you'll never perish, but you'll have everlasting
life!'” —Pastor Max D.

GREAT SALVATION,”

The
Evangelical Times praises Pastor Rolfe Barnard as God's choice to
“preach the Gospel of grace,” but that is a lie of the Devil. Just like the
satanic cult of Seventh-day Adventism, Mr. Barnard adds human effort to
faith and PERVERTS the Gospel.
Calvinism is NOT the Gospel!
Calvinism is rooted in
self-righteous hypocrisy. My friend, if you are truly a born-again
Christian, the ONLY difference between you and the vilest homosexual,
murderous, disgusting, sinner in history is the precious blood of Jesus
Christ that washed all your sins away!!! YOU ARE A DIRTY SINNER!!! I don't
care how long you've been saved, or how good you may think you are living,
the ONLY THING that makes you acceptable to God is the sin-cleansing
precious blood of Jesus!!! Calvinists are self-righteous hypocrites!!!
Let me quote Rolfe Barnard
(1904-1969) again if you missed his utter heresy:
“My friends, coming to Christ, resting on Christ and turning from sin in
full surrender to Christ is far different from deciding for Christ as your
Saviour. Those who pervert the Gospel beg people to accept Jesus as their
Saviour, and they will be saved. That is a lie out of hell, because it is
not in the Bible. If a person does not surrender to Jesus Christ as your
lord to rule and reign over you — why! — you are not saved!” —Rolfe Barnard, (The Difference in the Old Gospel and the New
Gospel) ...

LIAR!!! Mr. Rolfe is a bold-faced liar! You cannot show me even one verse in
the Holy Bible that requires surrendering to Christ's Lordship to be saved.
Samson was God's man, yet he went in unto a harlot (Judges 16:1). Noah was
God's man, yet he got drunk in his tent (Genesis 9:21). David, the man after
God's own heart, commit adultery and murder (2nd Samuel 11). None of these
saints were surrendered to God. The Bible is filled with sinful saints.
The “Gift” of Eternal Life
Does Not Require Surrendering for Christ to Rule Over You
Calvinists don't talk much about
the “gift” of eternal life (Romans 6:23). If you must surrender to Christ as
“Lord” to be saved, then salvation is no longer a “free gift” (Romans 5:15).
It becomes a reward for the faithful, falsely mislabeled as “grace.”
The
Gospel of John is God's Gospel tract. John 20:31, “But these are written,
that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that
believing ye might have life through his name.” The words “believe” and
“believed” are mentioned 85 times in the book of John, but the word “repent”
is not mentioned even once! That is because the man who believes has
repented. Repentance is “a change of mind” toward God (Acts 20:21).
Effectively, repentance is a man agreeing with God that he is a guilty
sinner (Romans 3:19). No man has ever believed who didn't also repent. Since
God doesn't mention “repentance” in His Gospel tract, neither should we. The
apostle Paul didn't ask the Galatians if they had repented in Galatians
3:1-3; but rather, he asked them if they were saved “BY THE HEARING OF
FAITH”? When you hear the truth of the Gospel preached, and you place your
confidence in it, you are immediately and permanently born-again eternally.
It is that simple to be saved!!!
The Hebrews in the Wilderness
heard Moses preach the Gospel, but many of them didn't believe what they
heard, so they went to Hell forever without Christ. Hebrews 4:2, “For
unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached
did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them
that heard it.” You get saved by placing your faith (trust)
in the truth of the Gospel when you hear it preached. This has nothing to do
with receiving Christ as one's Lord! Surrendering to Christ is a matter of
discipleship. I meet quite a few professed believers with some strange
ideas. A spoke with a 74-year-old man recently, who said that believers are
not “disciples”; but rather, “ambassadors” for the Lord. He is wrong! Yes,
we are all supposed to be “ambassadors” for Christ. 2nd Corinthians 5:20,
“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.” But we are also Jesus' disciples. John 15:8,
“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit;
so shall ye be my disciples.” One who follows Christ as a
soul-winner, obeying the Lord's Great Commission to preach the Gospel, is
His disciple (Matthew 28:19-20).
Please read Romans 12:, “I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
Carefully take note that presenting our bodies a living sacrifice is not
our “mandatory service” but rather, it is every believer's “reasonable
service.” If surrendering to Christ's Lordship were mandatory for
salvation, then the Scriptures would not call it our “reasonable service.”
It would not be an option, but it is an option, which is why Paul is
pleading with the believers at Rome to surrender their lives to live for
God. You see, there are two major decisions that God wants every person to
make in life. The first is to believe the Gospel and be saved. The second is
for every believer to become a disciple of Christ.
Here is a very helpful quote
contrasting salvation with discipleship by Dr. M.R. DeHaan (1891-1965)...
“There is a vast
difference between coming to Jesus for salvation and coming after Jesus for
service. Coming to Christ makes one a believer, while coming after Christ
makes one a disciple. All believers are not disciples. To become a believer
one accepts the invitation of the Gospel, to be a disciple one obeys the
challenge to a life of dedicated service and separation. Salvation comes
through the sacrifice of Christ; discipleship comes only by sacrifice of
self and surrender to His call for devoted service. Salvation is free, but
discipleship involves paying the price of a separated walk. Salvation can't
be lost because it depends upon God's faithfulness, but discipleship can be
lost because it depends upon our faithfulness.” —DeHaan, M.
R. Hebrews. Zondervan Publishing House, 1959 (p. 117).
Calvinists have no right to speak of God's
mercy and grace, while at the same time teaching that you must “surrender”
your life to live for Christ to prove you're saved! I love what Pastor Ralph
Yankee Arnold said:
“'You can't tell me you can trust
Christ as Savior, and then go out here and live like the Devil, and still go to
Heaven!' Yes, I can tell you that! That's what the Bible says. If you don't come
to the conclusion, that—Yes, you can trust Christ as your Savior and live like
the Devil, and still go to Heaven when you die—you don't get grace, because that
is the exact truth! That is the truth! I do not have to change my life! I don't
have to stop one sin! You say, 'I've never heard a preacher say that.' You just
heard one! And you listen to me—I want to live as holy and as godly as I
possibly can. I am now 70 years old. I've been saved for 52 years. ... the only
reason I'm going to Heaven is because, 52 years ago in a little living room, I
accepted Christ as my Savior.”
—Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, a
truthful quote from the awesome sermon,
“Calvinism
And Grace Are NOT Compatible”
|
MP3.
We read in John 12:42-43,
“Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on
him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest
they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men
more than the praise of God.” Did you read that? Many of the chief
priests believed on Christ, so they were saved, but they “DID NOT CONFESS
HIM.” And the Bible tells us why... because “THEY LOVED THE PRAISE OF MEN
MORE THAN THE PRAISE OF GOD”!!! Clearly, they weren't surrendered to the
Lord!!!
Satan Wants to Fit You With
Glasses, But the Lord Wants to Open Your Eyes
The false teachings of Calvinists
sounds good, nice and religious, juicy and loaded with pressure for sinners
to reform and walk the narrow way of holiness; but this is NOT the Gospel of
grace!!! In God's plan of salvation, you come as an UNGODLY SINNER or you
don't get saved. You have absolutely no part in the salvation of your soul.
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your
account through receiving Him by faith. God will not save anyone who is
trying to be saved, He will only save those who are trusting to be saved. We
are saved by submitting to God's righteousness, which is through faith in
Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is
through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”
Like most false prophets, Pastor
Rolfe Barnard sounds good, using lots of juicy religious terms, but he is
NOT Biblical. Lordship Salvation is one of the best sounding heresies.
Lordship Salvation Errors: Best
Looking Heresy Ever! (an excellent MP3 sermon by Pastor Marc Monte).
In the sermon excerpt below, Rolfe Barnard highlights the essence of “Biblical salvation” as opposed to the “false gospel decisional flattery” that was prevalent in his day and still is in ours. Do you believe this gospel that is a miraculous work of the Spirit of God making all things new instantaneously, dear reader? - For there is not another propagated by the written Word of God.
