TRUTH the other side of a MYTH
Pew Forum’s 2010 US Religious Knowledge Survey reveals that only 19 percent of Protestants believe that salvation is through faith alone. The overwhelming majority require a combination of faith and works. Unfortunately the evangelical church is inundated with the teaching that works are necessary for salvation. Gaining, proving, or sustaining salvation by works is in fact a myth, not supported from Scripture. That teaching is a perversion of God’s Truth, misleading, distorting, and confusing God’s communication to the lost world and the Church.
We must HOLD FAST to the Truth of God’s Word concerning Saving Faith!

TRUTH the other side of a MYTH
Coming from different religious backgrounds, whether Roman Catholic, Reformed, or Arminian, each brings with it doctrinal baggage that must be evaluated in light of Scripture. If not, misunderstandings become myths that are continually perpetuated and pervert Truth by misleading, distorting, and confusing God’s message to the Church.

Jesus differentiated possessing spiritual life from experiencing abundant life (John 10:10b). This book addresses those distinctions first in the conversation between Jesus and the rich young ruler and second in Jesus’ exchanged-life teaching of saving life by losing life. In each case when Jesus said, “Follow Me,” His call never referred to salvation; rather His appeal was a call to discipleship for those who were already saved. Jesus’ instructions to the rich young ruler were two-directional: first, going to sell and to give away his earthly wealth in order to possess spiritual life and second, returning to follow Jesus in discipleship in order to experience abundant life. Jesus’ exchanged-life teaching is embedded within His calls to discipleship. Experiencing an enriched life is only available to believers who choose to follow Jesus in discipleship; they Choose to Live in intimate fellowship with Him.
