PROFESSIONAL DECEIVERS? by steve finnell
The father of deception is the devil. Satan is the ultimate deceiver. (John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil....When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.)NKJV
Adam and Eve believed the lie Satan told in the garden. (Genesis 3:1-24......13....And the woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."....) NKJV
It took a professional deceiver to convince Eve to disregard the command of God.
John 8:24 "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." (NKJV)
There are those who have convinced many that you do not have to believe that Jesus is the Messiah in order to have your sins forgiven. It takes a professional deceiver to persuade men that there are many ways to heaven absent of believing and obeying the gospel.
Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God , and Him only you shall serve.'" (NKJV)
It takes a professional deceiver to convince men that praying to the Virgin Mary and other dead saints is not worship.
Matthew 28:18-19 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (NKJV)
Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved...(NKJV)
It takes a professional deceiver to convince people that Jesus was telling his disciples to baptize all nations so. 1. They could join the denomination of their choice. 2. That baptism would be a testimony of their faith. 3. That baptism was not essential for salvation. 4. That baptism was simply an act of obedience without any spiritual purpose. 5. That baptism follows forgiveness from sin. 6. That Jesus was telling his disciple to baptized men with Holy Spirit baptism. 7. That men could be saved without water baptism because the thief on the cross was saved without water baptism. 8. That atheists and unbelieving infants should be baptized in order to remove the guilt of Adam's sin. 9 That infants need to be baptized in order to have their sin nature removed. 10 That infants need to be baptized in order have the original sin of Adam forgiven. [Question: Adult Christians have all their sins washed away by the blood of Christ. How would it be possible to pass sins on to their children?] It takes a professional deceiver to convince men that sin can be inherited.
PROFESSIONAL DECEIVERS ARE IN THE WORLD TODAY.
