In the new film “God Is Not Dead 2,” co-produced by David A.R. White, a false Gospel is taught. Toward the end of the film, two actors are portrayed exchanging the Gospel message, in which the audience is influenced to “invite Jesus into your life” and to “follow Jesus as your Savior and Lord.” Kindly, although I loved the inspirational film and admire David White's acting talent, they got the Gospel WRONG! The Word of God plainly defines “the Gospel” as:
1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
There you have it... Christ DIED (on the cross for our sins), He was BURIED (officially dead and buried), and He RESURRECTED (bodily from the dead) three days later. There is no mention of “following Jesus.” There is no mention of “saying a prayer.” There is no mention of “inviting Jesus into your life.” There is no mention of “turning from one's sins” to be saved. The Gospel is so plain, and it is so easy to be saved, that the apostle Paul called it, “the simplicity that is in Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). Nor does the Bible mention “water baptism” as being necessary for salvation. It is not required.
...
Furthermore, both the 2014 film “God Is Not Dead” and the new 2016 film “God Is Not Dead 2” feature the worldly music of the “Newsboys” Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) band, who are praised by satanic hellbound Roman Catholics. NEWSBOYS' co-founder and guitarist, George Perdikis, last year renounced and denounced his alleged “Christian” faith and declared himself AN ATHEIST! This doesn't come as a surprise to faithful Christians, who have exposed CCM as of the Devil from the very beginning! Before there was ever a sickly deformed animal known as “Christian Rock,” there was Rock 'N' Roll music! CCM is worldly, all of it! Amy Grant, the diva of CCM, has done more to unite evangelical churches in apostasy with the wicked world than any other person in CCM. She ought to be ashamed! Hellbound Roman Catholics love Amy Grant! Something is VERY wrong with that! In eternity, on Judgment Day, my preaching of THE TRUTH will be vindicated. You cannot make God cool and hip to the world!
I believe that David A.R. White (and others who produce today's popular religious films) are sincere in their faith, but the Bible warns that sincerity can be a road to destruction in hell. Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” We are plainly warned by the Lord in Matthew 7:21-23, and given a clear example of what will happen to most religious people, when they hear the horrifying words from Christ... I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY!!! Remember, these unsaved people were religious! These unsaved people preached in Jesus' name! These unsaved people did many wonderful works! These unsaved false prophets even cast out Devils in Jesus' name! YET, THEY HAD NEVER BEEN BORN-AGAIN! They failed to rest completely in the finished work of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 4:10-11).
Just as most unregenerate religious people today, the unsaved religious people in Matthew 7:21-23 were enamored with the name of “Jesus.” So much so that they preached in “Jesus' name” everywhere they went! They declared “Jesus as Lord,” saying “Lord, Lord” everywhere they went (aka, Lordship Salvation). They were good people by man's standards. But they all went to Hell to burn. Take heed my friend. Hear again the Lord's warning in Luke 13:23-24, “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” Here again, we see the danger of sincerity. God is no respecter of persons! If you fail to obey the Gospel, by simply receiving the Good News of Christ's sacrificial payment on the cross for your sins—when He died, was buried, and resurrected from the dead the third day—you will not be permitted entrance through Heaven's pearly gates!!!
If you want to make Jesus the “Lord” of your life right away after you get saved, that is fine, but you had BETTER NOT ADD LORDSHIP to the Gospel, OR YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL WHEN YOU DIE! If you choose to pray after you receive the Gospel, that is appropriate, but you had BETTER NOT ADD PRAYER to the Gospel, OR ELSE YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL TO BURN WHEN YOU DIE!!! Don't add anything to the Gospel, just receive it by faith as your own! You can invite Jesus into your life all you want, and spend every day with Him as Judas did, and still die in your sins and go straight to Hell for ever!!! The moment you believe the Gospel by faith, making it your only hope for Heaven, you are saved!!!
