Unbelieving Christians?<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth\u201d 2Th 2:13<\/p>\n
There is no such animal as a Bible believing Christian that doesn\u2019t know and believe the gospel of God\u2019s redeeming grace in the Lord Jesus Christ. However, there are those who perpetually promote themselves by trying to bridge the gulf between free-will, Armenian, works religion and the Gospel of The Free Grace of God. There is absolutely no agreement between the two.<\/p>\n
Gospel preachers and Christians don\u2019t have a need to return to the gospel, they already have (by the grace of God) come to Christ and they do believe and preach the gospel. Those who don\u2019t believe it and preach it have not yet been regenerated and called. Regeneration by God the Spirit and belief of the gospel is the distinguishing difference.<\/p>\n
The preaching of the gospel is the means whereby God, in sovereign grace and mercy, calls His elect to faith in Christ Jesus. \u201cFor after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe\u201d 1Co 1:21. There is not one whom God has called by His Spirit, and revealed the Lord Jesus Christ to, that continues to follow false preachers and a false gospel. \u201cWhen He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him: for they know His voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers\u201d John 10:4-5.<\/p>\n
The revelation of Christ to a dead sinner is salvation and is the revelation of the truth. \u201cIn Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise\u201d Eph 1:13.<\/p>\n
Are there those who are saved (Christians) who do not believe and love the gospel? Emphatically NO! \u201cBut ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you\u201d John 10:26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
