Ray Comfort's ministry, LIVING WATERS, has produced a new
propaganda documentary titled, “180.”
The video has gone viral on YouTube with over 2,778,724 views so far.
Every Christian should ban this
video because it promotes a false gospel message of works-salvation. At 30:08 Ray Comfort
perverts the gospel message by telling a woman that it's not enough to admit
that she is a sinner, she must also turn from sin (clearly implying that a
person must stop sinning to get saved). If confessing one's sins is not
enough, then clearly Ray Comfort expects the person to amend their ways in
order to be saved. This is a false gospel of self-righteousness.
This false doctrine is known as "Lordship
Salvation." To no surprise, Mr. heretic himself,
John MacArthur is the
first person listed as an endorser of the film 180. Their
activist website is HeartChanger.com. John
MacArthur teaches the
same demonic plan of salvation as the Seventh Day Adventist cult, that
is, that it's the life we live and not the words we speak that determines
our eternal destiny. Whereas Biblical salvation is instant and eternal,
MacArthur's salvation requires a life of submission and total surrender to
be saved. John MacArthur is a dangerous Bible corrupter and so also is Ray
Comfort and Kirk Cameron.
Making Salvation Hard
Although the 180
video propagates a Biblical pro-life message against abortion, the fact
cannot be ignored that Ray Comfort continues to also propagate a false
gospel. Please read, I NEVER
KNEW YOU exposing Ray Comfort and numerous other false prophets
lurking within our churches today.

There are not two
different gospels. Either a person MUST stop living a lifestyle of sin to
get saved, or they don't.
-
Biblically, you turn to Jesus
Christ by faith to be forgiven of your sins. Receiving Christ's death,
burial and resurrection as payment for one's sins brings salvation. This
is the simplicity which is in Christ!
-
In Ray Comfort's perverted
religious world, you first must confess you're a sinner; and then
second, forsake those sins, amending your ways and ceasing from a sinful
lifestyle. Only then do you qualify to put your faith in Christ.
Lordship Salvationists
(Calvinists) make salvation hard and difficult...
-
In Biblical Christianity, all
of the burden rests solely upon Jesus Christ, Who bore our sins on the
cross.
-
In Ray Comfort's corrupt
gospel, a heavy burden is placed upon the sinner's shoulders, requiring
them to forsake sinful bad habits in order to be saved.
Ray Comfort's gospel bypasses
growth in grace...
-
The Bible teaches in 1st Peter
2:2, “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may
grow thereby.” Just as a newborn baby cannot yet even crawl or walk,
they must grow by nourishment from the Bible.
-
In Ray Comfort's perverted
gospel message, the sinner is expected to run a spiritual marathon to
get saved, by making a full surrender to Christ, amending one's ways,
making a commitment, forsaking the world and stopping from sinful bad
habits.
Clearly, Lordship Salvationists
(who are basically
Calvinist
in their false doctrines), teach a doctrine of Devils concerning
salvation. It is sad. The Apostle Paul said in Galatians 2:21, “I do not
frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then
Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:21 plainly teaches that Jesus died
for nothing if salvation can be merited by obeying the Law. The entire
reason why Jesus came to shed His blood and die upon the cross is because we
can't save ourselves. We cannot pay our own sin debt. It is impossible!!!
The irony is that ministers like
Ray Comfort are familiar with Galatians 2:21, yet they maintain that a
person must keep the Mosaic Law to be saved. They'll say in one breath that
they don't believe keeping the Law is required for salvation; but then they
hypocritically say in the next breath that you cannot be saved if you
continue to break the Law. Woe unto Ray Comfort and his false gospel.
In essence, Ray Comfort is
teaching inverted Roman Catholicism. Whereas Roman Catholics require members
to keep God's Laws to get to Heaven; Ray Comfort requires people to stop
breaking God's Laws to get to Heaven. It's the SAME THING in effect!!!
Either way it is an errant false gospel of obtaining salvation through
self-righteousness! You don't get saved by doing good, and you don't become
lost by doing bad.
Whereas Roman Catholics require members to keep God's Laws to get to
Heaven; Ray Comfort requires people to stop breaking God's Laws to get
to Heaven.
SALVATION
(a book I wrote based upon my own 7-year
battle with the assurance of my salvation)
Where The Burden Rests In Salvation
If you acknowledge that
you are a guilty sinner, believing upon the gospel of Jesus Christ as
payment for your sins, then you are saved eternally (Romans 4:5-6).
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.”
Salvation is simple, easy, not hard, and freely
offered by God to anyone who wants it.
Revelation 22:17, "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him
that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever
will, let him take the water of life freely."
Read what Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) has to say Scripturally about worldly
believers
Forgiveness for the Worst Sinner
“When
you get saved, you get saved not because you deserve it, but because
you simply let God save you and because you confess your own poor
sinful state and your inability to save yourself.”

any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,

whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye
have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye
might well bear with him.
