Baseless and Fallacious Charges Against a Believer

One of the most baseless and hollow charges made on this list brought repeatedly by DHK and others, is that if there are conditions to salvation, one of necessity believes in a works salvation like cults and false religions such as Hindus etc. etc. There is not the least reason for DHK or any other to level such a baseless charge against a follower of Jesus Christ. It shows an utter disregard for sound reasoning, just and fair consideration, or love and fair treatment towards the brethren. Let's explore this baseless charge for a minute.

In false religions and cult, often they do in fact believe that their actions in some way merit their standing with their gods. They do not believe that the blood of Jesus Christ and the mercy of God are the only grounds of salvation. Most do not even believe in Jesus period, and those that do, in the realm of the cults, deny His Deity.


I have not read one single person on this list that believes in conditions of salvation as set forth in Scripture that does not believe in the God of Scripture, His mercy to man, and the Deity of Jesus Christ. There is not one on this list that believes for a minute that there is any merit, in and of itself, in the fulfilling of any condition of salvation God has set forth; not in repentance, confession, believing, or obedience. There is not one on this list that denies all are sinners apart from Christ, and apart from the grace of God and the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the real meritorious basis of salvation, salvation is not, nor could it be, possible. There is not one solitary individual that I have read on this list that attributes the least merit to anything besides God's grace and the shed blood of Christ. All believe that it is the blood that saves, NOT any condition whatsoever commanded by God for us to fulfill. No obedience to God's commands to repent, exercise faith have the least merit to them. Still God does require them of us in order to receive salvation. God is Sovereign and has chosen the conditions under which He will bestow the hope of eternal lifer upon individuals, and has every right to place whatever conditions upon receiving His grace and mercy He so chooses.

Even the Jews in the OT understood clearly that no sacrifice had the least merit to it, although required by God, and that unless the sacrifices were brought with a sincere heart of repentance, it served no effective purpose. This truth is pointed out by the leading authority on Jewish antiquity, Alfred Edersheim, in his book entitled, "The Life and Times of Jesus Christ the Messiah." Just as God made sacrificial offerings conditional to receiving of His grace in the OT, God has made faith and repentance conditional to receiving of His grace in the NT.

Those that level the baseless charge of a works salvation for believing that the conditions set forth in Scripture by God in order to receive of salvation, are not only clueless as to the import of God's conditions, but are treating believers in a manner not in keeping with the least shred of Christian charity.

I certainly would not desire to stand in Judgment before a Holy and Just God having laid continually such false accusations and baseless charges against His children. God has a thing about such clear and wicked treatment of those He died for and loves, and desires to set justice in order against all that act in such a manner.

We all need to think carefully and choose our words wisely when speaking of another child of God. God does not forget and will recompense all in accordance to every idle word spoken and the deeds done in the flesh.
