warning against OSAS and rapture info


By James J Dougherty, 2013-11-12

                        Warning against once saved always saved

 

I am now strongly led to write this warning against the belief of once saved always saved, which is the belief that once you say your salvation prayer and then commit your life to Jesus that you are indeed secure and that you can leave your life as you please, doing whatever you want to, whenever you want to, living riotously, pleasing the flesh and then Jesus will admit you to heaven once you die or take you in the very soon to come rapture. I have never, ever felt peace about this doctrine of men of once saved always, which the bible does NOT support in any way, but warns in several areas it is possible to fall away from grace if you are not careful. I am making this in the fervent hope those who are saved are not complacent and just do nothing once saved but instead pursue the Lord with all their heart as He commands, for the Lord did save us for the purpose of relationship with Him, for he loves...

expanded gifts of the spirit teaching


By James J Dougherty, 2013-11-13

Here is a teaching on the nine gifts of the spirit that which are listed in 1 Corinthians chapter 12. This expanded teaching goes further and then covers chapter 13 of 1 Corinthians which is the love chapter, then also chapter 14 which then explores in detail the gifts of tongues, interpretation of tongues and how they can be used in a church srvice All nine of these gifts are all equally powerful and can and should be manifested in the believer’s life because these nine gifts and their proper application can make such a powerful difference in people’s lives both to yours and others. The right use of one or more of these nine gifts also can be a decisive and key factor in leading a person to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. I know many have taught on these many times but this is too important to ignore or overlook because they are so powerful. Look at what Jesus says in Matthew 10 when he sends out His disciples

(Matthew 10:7)  And as ye go, preach, saying,...

expanded gifts from God study


By James J Dougherty, 2013-11-13

                        Expanded Comparative study and essay gifts callings and more

 

            Here is a comparative study of the fruit of the spirit, the ministerial callings as in Romans 12 and Ephesians 4, the motivation gifts with a description of them, and then also the gifts of the spirit essay, as well as chapters 13 and 14 of 1 Corinthians which include the love chapter and also chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians which goes into detail especially on tongues and prophecy.

I am leading this teaching and study off with the nine fruit of the spirit, which are listed in Galatians chapter 5:

(Galatians 5:22)  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

 

(Galatians 5:23)  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

(Galatians 5:24)  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

 

(Galatians 5:25)  If we live in the...

New salvation message


By James J Dougherty, 2013-11-14

                                                            Salvation tract and message

 

I want to come to you with another message of salvation here. I care deeply about people and want to see people saved by the grace of God, giving them message of salvation that is in the bible. I pray that the Holy Spirit will use this and other messages to reach out to the lost so that they can be saved, and as a result have a relationship with God to which nothing can compare.

 As it is said in the bible it is appointed for men to die once but face judgment:

In Hebrews it is pointed out that Jesus has appointed to put away sin and it is for man to die once and be judged but people can look to Him for salvation

(Hebrews 9:26)  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

 

(Hebrews 9:27)  And as it is appointed unto...

salvation teaching featuring fall of man


By James J Dougherty, 2013-11-14

                                    Salvation teaching including the fall of man

 

            Here is a salvation teaching which does include the story about man’s original fall into sin yet also the good news that God did send Jesus to come and die for our sins too.

As stated I am starting this teaching with the fall of man, which is in Genesis 3 where Adam and Eve succumb to temptation by eating the forbidden fruit

(Genesis 3:1)  Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

 

(Genesis 3:2)  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

 

(Genesis 3:3)  But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

 

(Genesis 3:4)  And the serpent...

John 3 6 10 Salvation teaching


By James J Dougherty, 2013-11-15

                                                John 3 6 10 Salvation teaching

 

            Here is a salvation teaching featuring three key chapters of the gospel of John each of which have powerful salvation related messages and these messages in them are mainly spoken by Jesus first to Nicodemus in chapter 3 and also to the Jews in chapters 6 and 10

In John chapter 3 is the powerful dialog between Jesus and Nicodemus where Jesus relates how we MUST be born again- of the spirit and of the blood- in order to see and enter into the kingdom of God, as that which is born of the flesh is flesh and of the spirit, spirit. Jesus then reminds us God sent Jesus so the world might be saved and not condemned as He loves the world that much to send His Son. Those who do not believe are condemned already. John the Baptist then echoes Jesus’ words at the end of the chapter.

(John 3:1)  There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

Romans 3 5 6 8 10 Salvation teaching


By James J Dougherty, 2013-11-15

                                                Romans 3-6-10 Salvation teaching

 

Here is a salvation teaching featuring five chapters in Romans, namely 3, 5, 6, ten, and eight, since 8 has good post- salvation exhortations (so I put it last) which present the gospel salvation message effectively among them. These represent how all have fallen short of God’s standard and sinned and that the wages of sin are death but God gave all a gift of eternal life through Jesus by His finished work on the cross to those who believe in faith, confessing Jesus as Lord of their lives and believing God raised Him from the dead. It is a gift available to all for God is no respecter of persons at all.

Romans chapter 3 is the powerful chapter stating how none is right, all do evil, listing the evils done, and all fall short of God’s glory but how Jesus provided the means for all to be redeemed by the free gift of salvation through Him.

(Romans 3:1)  What advantage then...
