The "Once saved, always saved" doctrine of demons
Jesus warned us of the deceivers (MATT 24:11) in the final generation and Paul warned us that there would be believers with itching ears who will not follow sound doctrine but instead, they will seek out teachings that will pacify their lusts (2 TIM 4:3). One such false doctrine is the hyper grace doctrine that has infected the Church, or so-called church I should say. I am amazed that there are actually those in the church who preach and teach what is known as “once saved, always saved”. Are you kidding me? I can’t believe I even have to debunk this! In REV 3:5, is Jesus issuing an empty threat—threatening to blot out believers names from the book of life? Was it an unnecessary effort by Paul in 1 COR 9:27 to discipline himself so that he would not become disqualified after calling others to the race? Jesus said in MATT 24:13 that he who endures to the end shall be saved. But according to this “once saved, always saved” doctrine, it doesn’t matter if you endure to the end, you can endure half way through, or only a little ways through, it doesn’t matter, you’ll still be saved no matter what. Who then should we believe, Jesus or these deceivers who espouse this false doctrine to those with itching ears, feeding them what they want to hear so they can continue to indulge their sin while thinking they will still make it into heaven?
The “once saved, always saved” demonic doctrine is refuted simply by the fact that believers can fall away (2 THESS 2:3, HEB 6:6). It would be impossible for you to fall away if you cannot lose your salvation. If believers cannot lose their salvation, Paul would be wrong to warn us that believers can be cut off from God as he does in ROM 11:22. So who should we believe then, the Apostle Paul or these teachers with their false teachings scratching the itching ears of believers who want to feel good about fulfilling their lusts? It is clear in HEB 10:26 that for those who sin willfully after having received the knowledge of the truth of the gospel, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, but only a fearful expectation of the soon coming wrath of God in fiery judgment. And Peter urges us to pursue diligence in order to make our calling and election sure (2 PETER 1:10). So it takes diligence, or effort, to make your calling and election sure. Those who forsake that effort and instead rely on the hyper grace doctrine of “once saved, always saved” are in danger of being cast into the outer darkness where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. So you who currently subscribe to this false teaching, partake not anymore of this dangerous demonic doctrine! Find yourself another pastor or preacher and repent of this false teaching!

The "Pre-trib rapture" doctrine of demons
The Church will not be raptured out of here before the end of the age. The pre-tribulation rapture theory is a doctrine of demons and it is in Satan's interest for Christians to believe it.
For you who have been misled by the pre-tribulation rapture theory, let me debunk this theory for you and correct your thinking about it lest you get trampled upon when all hell breaks loose. The pre-tribulation rapture theory states that the Church will be raptured out of here before the great tribulation period. Before going any further, let me define what the rapture is. The rapture is this specific event:
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
—1st Thessalonians 4:15-17
So being caught up in the clouds to meet Jesus when He returns is what is commonly called the rapture. So when does the rapture take place? Paul addresses when the rapture takes place in his second letter to the Thessalonians. And in the order of events presented by Paul, the theory of a pre-tribulation rapture of the Church is proven false. Here then are the key verses (with key phrases in bold):
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
—2nd Thessalonians 2:1-3
Let’s parse out these verses to show the order of events Paul presents:
· In verse 1, “our gathering together” is the antecedent of the “day of Christ” in verse 2, meaning the “gathering together”, or the rapture, is what Paul is referring when he says the “day of Christ”.
· In verse 2, the “day of Christ” is the antecedent of “that day” in verse 3, meaning the “day of Christ” is the day Paul is referring to when he says “that day”.
So putting it all together, Paul says in verse 3 to not let anyone deceive you, for “that day”—the “day of Christ”, when we are gathered together with Him in the clouds, the rapture—will not come until after the Antichrist is revealed first. So the order Paul presents is the Antichrist appears on the scene first and the rapture takes place after that. And that is the reverse order that the pre-tribulation rapture theory presents. The pre-tribulation rapture theory says the rapture comes first and then the Antichrist appears.
So the Apostle Paul and the propagators of the pre-tribulation rapture theory contradict one another with regards to the order of events. Hmmm, who should we believe then, Paul or these so-called teachers of the word? I’m going with the Apostle Paul thank you very much!
The pre-trib rapture false doctrine is heaped upon those with itching ears who want to believe that they won’t be here for the tribulation period. False teachers have misled many of the sheep in the Church and have not prepared the sheep for what is about to happen. The sheep don’t know that they are being called to have a patient and enduring faith during the time of the great tribulation (see REV 13:10, 14:12). We are about to enter the time period Jesus warned us about, the time the Holy God of Israel warned us about, the time hell will enlarge itself for (see ISAIAH 5:14). Those who teach of a pre-tribulation rapture conflate the wrath of God with the ravages of the beast (the Antichrist), which are two separate and distinct things.
While the Church will be exempt from the wrath of God of course, they will not, however, be exempt from the ravages of the beast. The body of Christ should be in boot camp, bracing and strengthening themselves in Jesus, preparing for all-out war, the war of all wars. But instead, through this doctrine of demons known as the pre-tribulation rapture theory, the sheep have been misled into thinking that they won’t be here during the tribulation period. They think the call for patience and faithfulness in the Book of Revelation is not for them. How wrong they are! Is the present day church ready for martyrdom? No, they are not! Many will fall away from their salvation during the persecution that is coming if they do not turn away from this false doctrine! Many of the sheep are waiting to be raptured out of here and, like the teachers who have misled them, they are oblivious to the sounds of war in the heavenlies. And if they remain in that state—oblivious to the gathering armies in the heavens—and do not prepare themselves for what is about to happen, then soon when all hell literally breaks loose upon the earth, they will be sitting ducks for the hordes of hell to take out. They will be trampled underfoot by the enemy. They will be cannon fodder for the Devil and his forces.
Some say disagreement on the timing of the rapture is not a salvation issue. I beg to differ! Jesus did not say he who endures only part way through the tribulation or is taken away before the tribulation even begins will be saved. Jesus said only those who endure UNTIL the end will be saved (see MATT 24:13). The sheep will be required to stand firm in their faith in the face of persecution (even to the point of death). Sadly, many in the so-called Church are woefully unprepared for what is about to happen and will fall away from their faith if they do not strengthen and prepare themselves now while they still can before it is too late!
Believers who have been misled by this misleading doctrine of demons need to run—not walk—but run for cover under the shadow of the Alimighty (see PSALM 91) lest they be consumed in the coming persecution and destruction!
Woe unto those who are misleading the sheep, leading them straight into a war time battlefield which they have been woefully unprepared for!
The pre-tribulation rapture doctrine is not correct
Not a single Bible verse teaches a pre-tribulation rapture
The "Restrainer" is the Holy Spirit doctrine of demons
The one commonly known as the "restrainer" in 2nd Thessalonians is not the Holy Spirit as is commonly thought. If you're a believer who has believed this, be rectified in your thinking on this issue in light of the following truths:
At the heart of Satan’s deception of a pre-tribulation rapture is the misconception that the one who is commonly referred to as the “restrainer” in verse 7 below is the Holy Spirit:
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming
—2nd Thessalonians 2:7-8
So after the restrainer is taken out of the way, the Antichrist will be revealed. The one commonly referred to as the restrainer cannot be the Holy Spirit. Look at the language Paul uses. He says the one holding back the mystery of iniquity will continue to do so until “he be taken out of the way”. It is not a voluntary thing. The restrainer is forcibly removed, against his will. The Holy Spirit never goes against the will of God of course, so it cannot be the Holy Spirit Paul is talking about. The “restrainer” is not the Holy Spirit, it is the unholy spirit, Satan. After Satan is forcibly removed, after he is “taken out of the way” in heaven, after he is kicked out of heaven, then the Antichrist will be revealed. You’ll see that clearly shortly.
The Antichrist is Satan’s ultimate weapon you could say, against God’s creation. But right now, there is no need for Satan to use his last resort, his ultimate weapon. For Satan is, for the most part, having his way upon the earth. But an even more important factor than that as to why Satan wants to hold back using the Antichrist, or restrain from using the Antichrist, is this: Satan doesn’t want the Antichrist to come on the scene because Satan has read the script and he knows that he is done after that, his reign as the god of this age will come to an end and he will end up in the lake of fire. And so while Satan has no need right now to resort to using his best weapon against God’s creation, that is about to change when Christians unite and become the true Church. As the Church realizes its part in the end times and comes together in love and grows and matures and starts walking in the true power of Christianity—doing the things Jesus did and even greater things—then they will pull down demonic strongholds of the enemy all over the place, winning the victory over the Devil by the blood of Jesus and the word of their testimony, causing Satan to be kicked out of heaven in this war, to be “taken out of the way” in heaven, and then shall the Antichrist appear. Paul knew that there was coming a time when the Church would be victorious over Satan as described in REV 12:7-12. This onslaught against the powers and principalities of darkness will back Satan into a corner, forcing him to play his trump card so to speak, or use his ultimate weapon, his last resort. In REV 12, the Church wins the victory over Satan by the blood of Jesus and the word of their testimony and then Satan gets kicked out of heaven, he is “taken out of the way”. And then after that, after Satan is taken out of the way and kicked out of heaven down to the earth in REV 12, then shall the beast (the Antichrist) arise out of the sea at the beginning of REV 13. This is the same order of events Paul presented in 2 THESS 2:7-8.
So then, it is Satan who is the restrainer who must be taken out of the way in heaven and then the Antichrist will be revealed. Satan doesn't want the Church to know this truth because he doesn't want the Church to zero in on him, putting him in their gun sights so to speak. That is why that slippery serpent came up with the pre-tribulation rapture theory, to try and distract the Church from its glorious destiny. But lo and behold, this discourse is here to strip away from the Church this corrosive and false teaching and realign the thinking of those who have been misled by this doctrine of demons. The scenario in which the Church matures to the very stature of Christ Himself, doing the things He did and even greater things, winning the victory over Satan, causing him to be taken out of the way in heaven, can be summed up in this way: when the Church becomes one, the devil is done! This scenario is also encapsulated in MATT 24:14 when Jesus said the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world for a witness unto all the nations and then shall the end come. Presenting the gospel to all the nations of the world by the two witnesses in REV 11 is what triggers the end times. The Church's victory over the powers of darkness and Satan triggers the rise of the Antichrist for his 42 month reign.
Denying the power of God doctrine of demons
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
—2nd Timothy 3:5
We have quasi Christians today that deny the power of the Gospel message and in so doing, these people undermine the fullness of the Gospel message by denying the great power afforded unto us who believe (see EPHES 1:19). Supernatural is a dirty word to these fake Christians. They reject or are wary of speaking in tongues. They reject or deny supernatural healings and power. The term used today to describe them is “cessationists”. Because Satan has his counterfeits, they are afraid of the real thing. These people are afraid of the supernatural because of the dark side. But Jesus gave us all power and authority over the enemy, so there is no need to fear them—unless you don't believe in the power of the name of Jesus that is! These cessationists reject the awesome power and authority given to us by God and try to keep the Church as they are—spiritually impotent! The kingdom of God is not a matter of words, but a matter of power (see 1 COR 4:20). To those who receive Jesus and even to those who believe on His name, God gives the power to become the sons of God (see JOHN 1:12). Jesus has invested His authority and power in us who believe. So Church, regarding these cessationists of today, never ever accept from them any rationalization for spiritual impotence and as Paul said, turn away from such people.
The "health and wealth prosperity Gospel" doctrine of demons
Regarding the so-called “prosperity gospel”, also known as the “health and wealth” gospel, these prosperity gospel preachers and teachers get the health part right, but they don’t get the wealth part right. If you want to support a particular ministry you feel is doing God’s work, fine (see 1 COR 16:2). But don’t think that God is an ATM machine in the sky when someone talks to you about seed faith or sowing money into their ministry in order to receive money from God. Be content with what you have (see HEB 13:5) and remember what Paul said about the love of money, it is a snare and the root of all evil:
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
—1st Timothy 6:6-12
When even the secular world recognizes the extravagances of these prosperity gospel ministries, you know something is not right. When a pastor or preacher buys Rolexes and super luxury cars for themselves and their family members, when they have multiple luxury homes that rival the homes that the rich people of this world have, you know that they have taken their eye off the ball and lost their way. They have stopped hanging onto Jesus and hang onto money. We are told to keep our minds on things above (see COL 3:2). But the more material things you have on earth, the more your mind is on earthly things. Jesus said not to store up treasures for yourself on earth (see MATT 6:19). Beware of covetousness Church, your life does not consist of the abundance of things you own (see LUKE 12:15). The bottom line is you cannot serve both God and money (see MATT 6:24). While people can be saved through the preaching of these prosperity gospel teachers, and that is a good thing, for Paul rejoices whether the gospel is preached through pure motives or not (see PHILIP 1:18), nevertheless, I reckon on judgment day, there will be many prosperity gospel preachers who will be flabbergasted and horrified (to say the least) when the following happens to them:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
—Matthew 7:21-23
So while God may indeed bless you when you give to Him, you are not giving to Him when you give money towards a preacher’s jets or luxury homes. If you want to give to God, then cut out the middle man and give directly to Him:
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
—Matthew 25:34-40
