Lordship Requirements


God’s sole requirement:

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved
(Acts 16:31)

Lordship salvation’s
many requirements:

Follow Christ
Surrender to Christ
Be Willing to Obey
Commit yourself
Turn From Sin
Be Willing to Sacrifice Everything
Give Up All For the Kingdom
Deny Self
Love Christ supremely
Give Up All Your Earthly Possessions if the Lord Should Ask This
Give Yourself Totally to Him
Fulfill the Demands of Discipleship

http://www.middletownbiblechurch.org/salvatio/lordshrq.pdf

My own personal comment on the above:

It looks like they get sanctification in the here and now and being saved for going to be with the Lord confused as the above are all good things for a Christian to possess and are in fact the fruit of abiding in Christ in all areas of our lives while here on this earth.

Conclusion
My commitment to Jesus Christ does not save me. CHRIST SAVES ME BY HIS GRACE. My surrender to His Lordship does not save me. CHRIST SAVES ME BY HIS GRACE. My obedience to His Word does not save me. CHRIST SAVES ME BY HIS GRACE. My love for the Saviour does not save me. CHRIST SAVES ME BY HIS GRACE. My ability to fulfill all the demands of discipleship does not save me. CHRIST SAVES ME BY HIS GRACE. My behavior and conduct does not save me. CHRIST SAVES ME BY HIS GRACE.

Have you been justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus? Is your hope based upon what you have done or is your hope based upon Jesus’ blood and righteousness? "I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but WHOLLY LEAN ON JESUS’ NAME!" May we be standing fully on Christ the solid Rock, not upon the sinking sand of our own fragile commitment.
Just shows how fallen some are are from the truth. Makes me wonder if they even read the bible.

​Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. ... And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. Matthew 7:24, 26

There are NO requirements other than faith in the gospel of Christ in order to receive the free gift of eternal life. You, just as many others, are confused in your understanding of scripture. It's likely going to stay that way until you humble yourself and seek Gods truth instead of mans. I pray that you will. It just takes asking Him to show you and opening your bible and studying with an open mind instead of having your own perception going in. It must be understood by revelation of the Spirit. The gospel of John is an excellent place to start.
Your point above is moot, because nowhere have I ever said or even suggested that we can be saved by works. We are only saved by Faith on Christ's Blood shed upon His cross. So no need to make false accusations with trying to declare I said something I didn't.

As far as your Matthew 7 scripture goes, check this out....
First of all, the Matthew 7 Scripture is not my... Scripture. It is God's Word, our Lord Jesus' Own Words. It's better to have respect and declare it as His since He said it.

Isaiah 61:1-3 (KJV)

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
[SUP]2 [/SUP]To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
[SUP]3 [/SUP]To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

The tree that God plants can't bring evil fruit! This truth is also supported in 1 John 3:9. When we have been "born of God" or spirit is incapable of sin. Our sin is only of the flesh, which will not enter the Kingdom of heaven, only our glorified bodies will. (1 Cor. 15)
I understand your point, but there's always a contrast of reality in God's Word, and in this case like what Paul taught in Romans 7.

Rom 7:14-25
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
KJV



1 John 1:5-10
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
KJV

I have listened to all different teachers and I compared what they teach with what the bible teaches. I'm not sure what your definition of "hyper grace" is, but I assure you the teaching from that series in Galatians is line by line truth of the word of God. If you think you find something false in any part of it, bring it to my attention. The truth is in Gods word, but it MUST be understood the way it was meant to be, not the way people want to read it.

Galatians, part 1 | SermonAudio.com
I barely have time to read a few posts let alone listen and watch all the videos on this site.
I equate hyper grace teaching to the old anti nomianism.

Thus this challenge should go towards legalists and antinomians alike... I challenge anyone to stop listening to their usual LS teachers for however long it takes to go through this study on Galatians

Same old song and dance - grace alone faith alone Christ alone, code words for anti-doing salvation.

There is no such thing as 'anti-doing salvation'.
Purely a construct of your mind.

Here is the whole thing. I tried to edit and include it on the last one but I was too late.

Lordship Salvation - Saved By Grace Alone

Wow! That looks like an amazing resource. I only skimmed over it but it very much seems to cover much of what anyone would want to know on the subject. Thank you for posting it.
If you like that you will love this teacher/preacher. Not many are teaching truth anymore.

Therein is the crux - I liked his statement " When ever it depends on man's faithfulness - you are dealing with bondage and failure"....works-based salvationists that pervert the gospel of the grace of Christ have a very hard time with this statement.

Thus - their continual need to "maintain" their righteousness. They can't see that to rest fully on what Jesus has already done ( it's called faith ) brings a life of good works flowing from the life of Christ in and through us.

Mat 7:26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:



I'm not sure what it is that makes you think people who speak the truth about grace are not "doing". We "do" because we love Him, but not in order to be saved. This is the difference, you teach "do to receive", we teach "do because we have received". One of the things Jesus said to "do" was.......

Matthew 5:48 (KJV)

[SUP]48 [/SUP]Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.




I know how I am doing with this instruction, how are you coming along with it? This is a command that was given for you to "do" correct? Are you doing it? Are you "perfect" as He is? No, I didn't think so. Why would Jesus instruct us to "do" perfection knowing that we couldn't possibly be perfect? I wonder if He was showing them (and us) just how far we as mortals are from being perfect with His "Sermon On The Mount". Have you ever read it all? Have you kept all it's instruction every minute of every day of your life?

I wonder if since Jesus knew they (nor we) could be perfect, He was showing them (and us) the only way to be perfect was by depending on Him and His righteousness?



Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

[SUP]33 [/SUP]But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those verses remind me a little of some verses I read in Romans!



Romans 5:18-19 (KJV)

[SUP]18 [/SUP]Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

[SUP]19 [/SUP]For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




"Made righteous" is the only way you and I can "be perfect". It is His righteousness by which we are saved when we place our trust in Him ALONE!

If not we will "do" as Israel as trust in our own righteousness........


Romans 10:1-4 (KJV)

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

[SUP]2 [/SUP]For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

[SUP]3 [/SUP]For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

[SUP]4 [/SUP]For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is as clear as I know how to make it using Gods Words, not mine.

That's correct. Too bad people follow such doctrine.

But this is salvation:

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Eph 2:8-10)

Perhaps you should meditate on this passage for a time...

What happens when a person believes this way, then reverts to believing that they must do something to be saved? According to hyper grace, since they believed the right way they became the righteousness of GOD. and that can never be taken away from them. So in essence it really doesn't matter how they believe.

Your comment contradicts itself. First you say you do, then you say it is impossible to do. The latter truly shows where your heart is at.

hyper grace!!??

Again, there is no such thing.

6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.[a] But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. (Rom 11:6)

Working my way through it. Painful to listen to. The speaker is not very discerning IMO because he doesn't realize that the Galatian problem was that pharisees were coming from Jerusalem and telling the gentiles that they couldn't be saved unless they became circumcised and observed the whole law of Moses. That would include sacrifices and everything else, not just the 10 commandments as this speaker alludes to. In essence, it was teaching to place faith in an altogether different covenant.
