I feel so bad for any christian who doesn't understand that Christ did it all and that there is nothing we can contribute to His salvation. I'd say to them that our hatred of sin and good works come because we have the indwelling of His Spirit in our new man. It's not possible for hatred of sin and good works not to happen, but sometimes the old man gains preeminence We'll have the old man to contend with until the day we die or are raptured. Anyone who claims they don't have this struggle is lying.
If what this guy says is true then no one will make it to heaven. It's all or nothing with God. You either try to make it through by your own righteousness or by Christs righteousness. I'm so glad He came to die for my sins so I don't have to go to that place forever and ever. Thank you, Jesus.
He referred to Christ's suffering but I didn't hear any salvation message. Maybe there was and I missed it but I am not willing to listen to that thing again.

Ro 8:1 There is therefore now
no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Gal. 1:6 ¶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto
another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would
pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an
angel from heaven, preach
any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, l
et him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If
any man preach any
other gospel unto you than that ye have received,
let him be accursed.
This is what I'm talking about a lot of people out there
not being Scripturally grounded and then hitting the Internet. I'm on dialup and don't take 3 hours to download videos off youtube, looks like I ain't missing much. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Luke and Jen.
I found a Grace website that has some of the best books available in free .pdf format, I spotted one on "lordship" salvation and I think I'll refresh my memory and download it.
Grace and peace friends
