   Yeah, the message is shocking. Shockingly wrong. The lordship salvation doctrine is a false gospel promotes working toward maintaining you salvation.

   Mike, please read your bible. Then you could make comments that actually made sense.

   OK, can you please elaborate on your view? Where in the bible does it say that after we are saved we must work to maintain our salvation? It’s called the Lordship Salvation Doctrine, it’s false and it’s what your hero Paul Washer preaches. Please, tell me what the requirements are for salvation then.

   John 6:29 The work of God is this: Believe in the one he has sent. It doesn’t say AND…which is what Paul Wahser is adding.

   “Repentance is the very opposite of meritorious experience. It is the confession that one is utterly without merit, and if he is ever saved at all it can only be through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, ‘who gave himself a ransom for all.’ Here is firm footing for the soul who realizes that all self-effort is but sinking sand. Christ alone is the Rock of our salvation.” (Harry A. Ironside; Except Ye Repent, pg. 36)

   Romans 4:5,6, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works.”

   This verse pretty much nullifies what Mr. Washer teaches. Also, he contradicts himself:

   What you need to know is that salvation is by faith, and faith alone in Jesus Christ. And faith alone in Jesus Christ is preceded and followed by repentance — a turning away from sin, a hatred for the things that God hates and a love for the things that God loves, a growing in holiness and a desire — not to be like Britney Spears, not to be the like world, and not to be like the great majority of American Christians; but to be like Jesus Christ.

   In one statement Paul Washer says that we are saved by faith alone; but then in the next statement he subtly requires giving up one’s sinful lifestyle to be saved. This is not faith alone. The Bible is clear that salvation is without works.
