Those who wrongly believe that faith saves us call repentance a "work," and at the same time require that a sinner must have faith to be saved.that all he must "do" is believe in Jesus. Faith is the means by which we receive the amazing grace that saves us. We're not are saved “by” faith but rather "through" faith. It is a blessed grace of God the Holy Spirit, and it is absolutely necessary unto salvation." Spurgeon believed that repentance “is absolutely necessary unto salvation.” The foundational truth of salvation is that we are saved by grace and grace alone: “For “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8 -9). In a sermon entitled "Faith and Repentance Inseparable" Spurgeon addresses the error of maintaining that only faith is necessary for salvation: “We must not, I think, undervalue repentance. So to tell sinners to repent or to forsak e their sins is “works” salvation, and is therefore heretical.
Once they are saved, they then are to repent. Stewart maintains that sinners are saved by faith in Jesus alone.
I normally ignore things like this, but I will address it at this time because the issue of repentance is a hill upon which to die. Stewart says "John MacArthur is an unsaved heretic" and even misquotes Charles Spurgeon to try and justify his error. Stewart calls me a wolf, a false prophet, and titled his teaching “The Damnable Heresy of Ray Comfort." In his presentation Mr. The contention is that in doing so I adhere to what some call “Lordship salvation.” One particularly gentleman named David J. Tomas Bilson by Jesus?” The above question is often asked of me because I preach both repentance and faith in Jesus. “THE DAMNABLE HERESY OF RAY COMFORT” By Ray Comfort “I was curious as to whether or not repentance is required for salvation along with faith in Jesus Christ? Must Must we both repent and and trust in the Savior, Savior, or is only faith required required to be saved
