People tend to think God will forgive them for being Methodists, or Lutherans, or semi-Baptists. And people tend to think that good works will save your souls.
Take the case of this "missionary" who went to the Sentinel Islands, a land of primitive indians (the real ones, not the Casino owners) to "preach the word of Jesus" to the neolithic inhabitants.
He was received with arrows and stones and killed as he landed. you can read more here:
Yes, it is CNN, but in this case, no fake news.
What do we know about this guy?
1) He believed in Jesus Christ (that is good) and believed in go out and preach the gospel (also good)
2) He was a good fellow with the people he knew (good)
3) He brought gifts and Bibles to the indians (very good)
4) He was part of "All Nations" an organization who believes in the Bible and Jesus, the second coming (VERY good) but is ecumenical (REALLY BAD!!!)
5) This organization believes in the PRETTY LIBERAL "Lausanne Covenant", an excuse for making peace with liberal denominations and forget about the Bible, opening it to interpretations in the name of doing "works" together (AND SENDING ITS MEMBERS TO HELL)
6) John Chau believed God has ordered him to go to this islands to preach. His last words were "God, I don't want to die".
So God ordered a guy from a pseudo-Christian denomination to an isolated island, and then send some primitive folks to kill him. What does that say to us?
Of course, it says that going out of the path for just a step will get you in Hell. Don't follow those steps, or you will suffer the same fate.
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Our beloved Pastor Ezekiel has gone on missions several time to places like that and came back with friends and houseboys. Why? Because God loves Him, and he loves God.
