This video by Renee Roland is absolutely incredible, it is so completely jam-packed with mile-a-minute scripture and truth.
When I first discovered Renee on YouTube, she had a style and a demeanor that was very off putting to me, but I listened to what she said.
At first I thought she was nuts, and I was watching her for entertainment value.
The truth is, Renee is just being herself, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
She is a beautiful, lovely, and caring person.
She is not a pastor, she is not a head of household, and she is not usurping any authority by being a woman, but her understandings of faith in Jesus are completely biblical.
This is a blessed woman of God and truth.
I do not agree with Renee on all of her doctrines, because she believes in “annihilationism”–that Hell comes to an end. I believe she is totally wrong on this, but that does not at all discount the value of her insights on biblical saving faith which are unparalleled by anyone else that I’ve ever listened to.
Renee is my sister in Christ.
I am tired of people who do not put the center in the center, who do not put faith in Christ as the most important thing, but get involved in all kinds of other secondary doctrines like annihilationism, church issues, pre-trib rapture and things like this, and make those the litmus test of whether someone is saved or not.
Salvation from Hell is a free gift received in a moment of faith in Jesus.
The self-righteous Pharisees went to Hell, and the evil man on the cross next to Jesus went to Heaven–don’t ever forget that.
Eternal Salvation is by GOD’S GRACE ALONE.
There will be a lot of good, godly, loving, and generous people who are Bible scholars in Hell, who thought that their good works were getting them into Heaven. (“Jesus will say, “Depart from Me!” (into the everlasting fire.)
The biblical Gospel is extremely rare in today’s churches.
I believe that many people in churches across America, perhaps a majority, will end up in Hell, because they are believing in their good works, and not in Jesus alone.
I have been to 36 churches over the last eight years in Colorado Springs and not one of them except for Fervent Church has preached Christ’s Gospel without adding works on it as a condition ~to be eternally saved~.
The Lordship Salvation False Gospel Churches LIE TO YOU like this: “It’s great that you believe in Jesus (completely dismissing the saving work of Jesus Christ THE SON OF GOD AND GOD THE SON, dying FOR YOUR SINS on the cross, and His resurrection!!) but if your life hasn’t changed, and if you don’t repent of your sins, and if you aren’t living godly, and if you aren’t obeying the Commandments, then you’re going to Hell.”
This is “salvation” by works!
This is the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM CONDING SIN, OR THAT LIVING A GOD-PLEASING LIFE IS UNIMPORTANT, ONLY THAT LIVING A MORAL LIFE WILL NOT SAVE YOU FROM HELL, AND IT IS *NOT* EVEN PART OF WHAT SAVES YOU.
I believe this is the reason why Satan really doesn’t care if we have whole countries and stadiums full of people who are believing that Jesus plus their good works are taking them to Heaven, because Satan knows he has them signed and sealed and ready to be delivered to Hell because you cannot be saved in whole or in part by your good works.
So the Lordship salvationist will always say, “Well, of course I’m not saved by my good works, I believe I’m saved by Jesus, but if I don’t repent of my sins and do good works, then I’m not saved. This is called backloading the Gospel with your good works. It’s double talk, and it is soul-damning heresy. This is not some minor thing to disagree on; this is whether you go to Heaven or Hell.
~Salvation is NOT BY YOUR GOOD WORKS before, at the moment of faith, or after you believe in Jesus.~
If you believe in Jesus alone, not your good works of any kind, just faith in Jesus, not confessing your faith, not confessing your sins, not repenting of your sins, not doing good works, not living godly, not being water baptized, not taking the Lord’s supper, not being loving, kind, and generous, not anything you can do, if these good works of yours are NOT part of your salvation picture, if it is all what Jesus did, and what Jesus did alone, that you are believing in–then you are saved.
May Jesus save you by grace alone,
Curtis Smale
