BILL SALUS & BILLY CRONE: AN IDEA FOR WITNESSING TO JEWISH FRIENDS

[Remember, love them to Jesus; don't try winning a debate.] 

1. Good news: As the Bible predicted, the Jewish Third Temple has seen great progress.

2. Bad news right after: The Antichrist defiles it, stopping sacrifices & offerings. 

3. It gets worse: The Antichrist carries out the worst genocidal attempt in Jewish history, killing 2/3rd of Jews. 

However, 1/3rd survive. Picture yourself & two family or friends.

4. THE GREAT NEWS is that they can avoid the entire Tribulation, Abomination of Desolation, 
and Antichrist genocidal campaign, by receiving Christ now. | image tagged in christian,jewish,jew,bible,god,temple | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

IS BIBLE PROPHECY TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
No. God’s inspired Word in the Bible was written so anyone can understand. 
And how can we pastors call ourselves faithful shepherds, who love our sheep, if we skip 1/4 of the Bible?
Alistair Begg: “It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian”
J. Vernon Magee: “God put the cookies down on the lower shelf so even the kids could get to them.”
Dr. David Cooper, (founder of The Biblical Research Society):
"When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and 
obvious and fundamental truths, indicate clearly otherwise."
The problem is only when man starts to read his own ideas into the Bible. All of the Bible is a blessing but God says Bible Prophecy has a triple blessing. It also keeps us from becoming too worldly minded because we are not saved for this messed up version of the earth here today. It's for the world to come. Bible prophecy tells us about our amazing future! When the Rapture happens, we go to heaven to be with God and then come back with Jesus to the earth to rule and reign with him in the Millennial Kingdom for 1000 years. Then the earth is renovated into a new creation that turns it back into a Garden of Eden and we live in peace with all creatures. You can have a pet lion, tiger, and bear. Who wouldn't want to be here for that? 

No one has a brighter future than Christians and that’s the message from Bible prophecy. It also makes us aware that today could be the last day, so we should not only be living for Jesus, but also witnessing for Him. | image tagged in prophecy,bible,god,jesus,christian,pray | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHILE SYMBOLICALLY IMPORTANT, IS BAPTISM NEEDED FOR SALVATION? What about a newly saved person who gets in a fatal car wreck before making it to their baptism? 

What about the man next to Jesus on the cross? Because of his faith, Jesus said he’d be in heaven that day. But he and Christ had no time to hop off their crosses and baptize the man when no one was looking.

Paul said God sent him, not primarily to baptize, but to preach the gospel. If baptism is needed for salvation, why would Paul say that? It would have been ludicrous. 

That kind of teaching is the mark of a cult.

Titus 3:5 declares, "God saved us—not by works of righteousness that we have done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” | image tagged in jesus,cross,god,christian,bible,cult | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

MEGA-CHURCHES AND THE CHURCH GROWTH MOVEMENT
The mindset of pastors was transformed from seminaries on down through Bible colleges, denominations, and then to organizations. 
The whole definition of success with the Church Growth Movement has nothing to do with spiritual growth because that only comes from preaching the whole Word of God. 
The last thing Jesus said was not, “Add a bunch of believers so you can crank the numbers for a big sanctuary?” Instead, He said to go into the world and make “discipled leaners” (in the Greek) of God’s Word. So the #1 focus is supposed to be on the spiritual growth of Christians, which is preaching the entire Word of God. That will make tons of evangelizers. Instead, the Church Growth Movement’s mantra for 25 years has been, “It’s all about numbers.” Frankly, I think it’s aiding in apostate behavior. They pursue successful growth at the cost of avoiding Bible prophecy, the wrath of God, backsliding, and Hell? Those are all in the Bible. Pursuing the numbers is preaching fluff and avoiding discipleship, which is God’s truth. 
Bible prophecy warns us that this will happen. Paul said this in Timothy: The Church in the last days will gather teachers around themselves, who will "tickle their ears” so that the Church turns away from truth and aside to “myths." In the Greek those mean "pleasant things" and "stories made up."
That’s the the Church Growth Movement model. And maybe it’s because they’re not equipped, but we can't leave it there. We should respectfully request that our shepherds teach all of the Bible. If your pastor refuses to teach the whole counsel of God, you need to fire him and get a shepherd who truly loves you. A shepherd is supposed to feed the flock all of God’s Word. “It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian (Magee)" | image tagged in megachurch,god,jesus,bible,pray,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

HEALTH & WEALTH PREACHING
The Church of God, for one, claims Christ's atonement provides physical healing for everyone. Who does that sound like? It’s a root of the Charismatic Movement that eventually came to be the Word of Faith Movement. According to the latter, if we just have enough faith, we’ll have perfect health and receive wealth. 
Unfortunately though, the people getting rich in that movement are the ones requesting donations that supposedly show the followers’ level of faith. They say the greater the check, the more the follower’s faith. And those requesting the cash don’t normally seem to have the perfect health they promise to donors.
While the perfect health and wealth preaching is untrue, it is true that God can heal. I’ve seen it and even experienced it personally. But that does not mean God always heals us. We see that in the Scriptures: The Apostle Paul experienced serious illness. Did he not have enough faith? He must not have "sown seeds" into a health 
and wealth preacher's ministry, right? Is that why Paul was not in perfect health? No!Also, Philippians two says Paul's co-worker for Christ, Epaphroditus, nearly worked himself to death. And Timothy, Paul's spiritual son, was often sick. Did Paul recommend more faith for those two so they could to be as healthy as they’d like? No. In fact, for Timothy’s medicinal issue, Paul recommended certain liquids, which might help as opposed to water only. Good thing Timothy had the right teacher. It’s the same one we can access every day in the Bible--no donations required. | image tagged in church,bible,god,health,wealth,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
