Salvation: What Man Must Do or What Jesus has Done?

[Lou Martuneac]

Dear BB Readers:

My blog partner Kev wrote an article titled, The Power of God to Salvation that appears at his On My Walk blog. He is carrying on much the same Lordship Salvation discussion with a mutual guest as his blog as I have been at my blog under: Is Lordship Salvation a “Barter” System?

This morning I read a comment by Kev to our mutual guest that really gets to the heart of Lordship Salvation’s erroneous interpretation of the Gospel. Kev was addressing a question/comment from our guest about the state of one of her family member’s spiritual condition.

Following is the opening portion of Kev’s comment for your benefit and blessing:

Would selling the man a false gospel have helped the situation? Would he be any more of a Christian if he were told he had to work for his salvation? Would he be any more saved if he had been told he had to forsake all or not be saved? 
Is telling him he’s got to be willing to work going to save him now if he is not already saved? Will changing the Gospel help the situation?

Kev’s extended comment and my follow up can be read at Salvation: What Man Must Do or What Jesus Has Done?
