Any doctrine that contradicts Scripture is dangerous, especially if it is in direct conflict with the Gospel. The doctrine of Second Blessing conflicts with the Gospel in the area of Lordship Salvation.
“The baptism of the Holy Ghost is a definite experience, and no man has any right to claim it who does not know that he has received it.” — Duncan Campbell “The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a definite experience, and one may know whether he has received it or not.” — R.A. Torrey “There is no reason why a man should not know whether he has been baptized with the Holy Spirit.” — R.A. Torrey “There is a definite experience, subsequent to conversion, called in the Scriptures the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which brings us into a new relation to Christ and a new power for service.” — A.B. Simpson
“The baptism with the Holy Spirit is given to those who surrender themselves absolutely to God.” — R.A. Torrey “There must come a moment when you yield everything—when you are prepared for God to deal with you… then the Spirit comes in power.” — Duncan Campbell “We must put ourselves absolutely at God’s disposal…if we would receive this gift.” — R.A. Torrey “The baptism of the Spirit is that moment when God takes possession of a life laid wholly at His feet.” — Duncan Campbell “What we contend for is that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience, and must be received by a definite faith, and this involves the crisis: a full surrender and an explicit preparation of the promise of God by faith.” — A.B. Simpson
“We do not ask, Is Christ your"Savior,"but is He, really and truly, your Lord? If He be not your Lord, then most certainly He is not your"Savior."Those who have not received Christ Jesus as their"Lord,"and yet suppose Him to be their"Savior,"are deluded, and their hope rests on a foundation of sand.” — A.W. Pink ”My dear unsaved friend, tears do not count if your heart is in rebellion. More than tears are needed. A great once-for-all "LORD, I SURRENDER" is needed! Repentance is not an emotion or excitement, but repentance includes it.” — Rolfe Barnard ”Somebody said, 'It is so easy to get saved.' Yes, all it will cost you is a full surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ. All you've got to do to be saved is to die: that's all it costs to get to Christ.” — Rolfe Barnard ”Genuine conversion is always evidenced by"Lord what wilt Thou have me to do?"(Acts 9:6). It is an unreserved surrendering of ourselves to His holy will. Have you yielded yourself to Him? (Rom. 6:13)” — A.W. Pink ”Christ has bands and cords for us; those that will be saved by him must be ruled by Him...” — Matthew Henry “If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumption, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved. Do you imagine that the Gospel is magnified or God glorified by going to the worldlings and telling them that they may be saved at this moment by simply accepting Christ as their Saviour, while they are wedded to their idols and their hearts are still in love with sin? If I do so, I tell them a lie, pervert the Gospel, insult Christ, and turn the grace of God into lasciviousness.” — Charles Spurgeon ”The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense.” — A.W. Tozer “Until Christ becomes your King (1 Tim. 1:17; Rev. 15:3), until you bow to his scepter, until His will becomes the rule of your life, SELF dominates, and thus Christ is disowned.” — A.W. Pink “To be saved, we must submit to HIS terms. Listen to His terms."Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him"(Isa. 55:7). Said Christ,"Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple"(Luke 14:33).” — A.W. Pink
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” — 2 Tim. 2:19
Most have an oversimplistic approach believing water baptism is salvation, not knowing that only spiritual baptism is salvation.
Read →The O.T. officially transitioned into the N.T. at the commencement of the reign of the Man, Jesus Christ, when he took the Throne of Heaven and made it the Davidic Throne, and thus became the King of the World. This event had to be commemorated with the proclamation of the King in every language.
Read →Most charismatic Christians are just speaking gibberish. They are deceived to think that they are speaking in tongues because they were coerced by their Pastor to just let their tongue wiggle loosely and run wild.
