THE FALSE BRETHREN CLUB BY STEVE FINNELL
Who were the false brethren? They were those Judiazers who infiltrated the churches of Christ in Galatia. The Judiazers were Jewish Christians who were advocating keeping the Law of Moses in order to be saved.(Galatians)
Galatians 2:4 But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.
These Jewish Christians where adding to the gospel.
HOW TO QUALIFY TO A MEMBER OF THE FALSE BRETHREN CLUB?
Galatians 1:6-10 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only these are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.......
All you have to do to gain membership in the "The False Brethren Club" is distort the gospel of Christ.
GRACE ALONE DOCTRINE
Can embracing the doctrine of salvation by "grace alone" grant you membership in the "False Brethren Club"?
The Calvinistic doctrine of salvation by grace alone is that God preselected a few to be saved and chooses all others to be lost to an eternity in hell. The true Calvinist believes that man has no responsibility in their salvation. They believe that God imputes the selected few with faith so that they might believe and be saved. Calvinism teaches that man has no free-will to accept or reject the terms of pardon for salvation. The doctrine of salvation by grace alone states that man goes through life waiting for God to save him. In effect, if you are lost under the doctrine of grace alone, it is not your fault, it is because God chose not to save you.
Calvinism rejects the Biblical account of the apostle Paul, Silas, and the jailer. (Acts 16:30-31 and after he brought them out he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household".) Accord to the doctrine of, grace alone, the jailer could do nothing to be saved because it was God who forced him to believe.
Calvinism rejects the words of Jesus Christ who said (Mark 16:16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved....) Taking the doctrine of grace alone at face value, believing and being baptized by your own free-will would be works apart from God's grace of forced salvation.
The doctrine of salvation by grace alone, is another gospel, it a distortion of the gospel preached by the apostles.
Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!
IN ORDER TO BECOME A MEMBER OF "THE FALSE BRETHREN CLUB" ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ADD TO OR TAKE AWAY FROM THE TERMS OF PARDON PREACHED BY THE APOSTLES.

If there was nothing for us to do then we believers would not have to 'work out our own salvation with fear and trembling' as stated in Philippians ch. 2 v. 12.
