About This Website By David J. Stewart
It is easy and simple to be saved . . . Just BELIEVE THE GOSPEL Oh sinner! The Holy Bible defines “the Gospel” as:
There you have it! This true Gospel is the heart of this website ministry. Christ DIED on the cross for our sins, He was BURIED, and He bodily RESURRECTED three days later. The cross must be included in the Gospel. Jesus couldn't be stabbed to death or burned at the stake, He had to be crucified according to Old Testament prophecy. Jesus had to raise up bodily from the dead, not just in spirit as Jehovah's Witnesses errantly teach. 1st Corinthians 15:6 tells us that over 500 Christian brethren saw Jesus after He resurrected. The remaining 11 disciples saw Him. The unsaved world did not see Him. How does a person get to Heaven? Why, my friend, you simply BELIEVE THE GOSPEL! Simply receive Christ's sacrifice upon the cross as payment for your sins, believing that He raised up from the dead, and you are saved securely forever! Beware of False Prophets My friend, the world is literally going to Hell, plain and simple. As a born again Christian, I find it increasingly difficult to enjoy life or be happy, when I know that likely 95% of the people in this world are going to Hell when they die. I find myself increasingly compelled to do more to reach people for Jesus Christ, Who clearly warned in Matthew 7:13-14 ...
Tragically, most people are not going to Heaven, but to Hell fire. Why? Jesus proclaimed in John 14:6 ...
The Word of God is adamant that
there is only one way to Heaven—through Jesus Christ. My friend,
if you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God, Who
DIED on the cross for your sins, was BURIED, and bodily RESURRECTED the
third day from the dead, YOU ARE SAVED! Galatians 3:2, “This only would
I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law,
or by the hearing of faith?” Isn't that
beautiful? The apostle Paul wrote a letter to the church at Galatia. Paul
said I just want to know ONE THING . . . “How did you receive the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit?” That is to say, “How did you get saved?”
When a person receives the Gospel, they are saved, and God's Holy Spirit
comes to live inside their body permanently (1st Corinthians 3:16-17;
Romans 8:9; 1st John 3:24). So Paul asks them, “How did you get saved, by
works or by faith?” Also, beware of the
multitude of new
counterfeit Bible versions, which change what it means to be saved. Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth I love that phrase “the hearing of faith.” What does that mean? It means when you hear the Gospel preached, you receive it by faith and are saved. We find a great example in Acts 2:41, when 3,000 souls were saved in just ONE DAY! Whew! . . . Amen! On the Day of Pentecost (meaning “fifty,” for it was 50 days since Christ raised up from the dead), Peter preached to a group of thousands of people from many different nations. Peter also preached to the local Jews, informing them that they had just crucified their Savior. Acts 2:36, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” The Jews were horrified! They were cut to the heart and asked Peter, “What should we do?” Acts 2:37, “Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?” The apostle Peter preached the Gospel to them all, telling them to “Repent” (Greek: metanoeo, meaning, “to think differently”), and be baptized (not water baptism) into Jesus Christ for the “remission” (Greek: aphesis, meaning “freedom”) from sins. Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” There are many different baptisms in the Bible, which mean to be immersed in something. Paul preached the Gospel, telling his audience that they would be indwelt by the Holy Spirit (born again), if they'd think differently and be submersed by faith into Jesus Christ, which would free them from the condemnation of their sins. It was that simple. Unlearned Bible students often
make the mistake of concluding that baptism always means “water
baptism.” The surrounding context must always be taken into consideration
to properly interpret the Scriptures. Peter didn't say to be “baptized”
with water; but rather, to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, to be
freed from the curse brought upon them because of their own sins. Now in
Acts 2:41, we learn that
3,000
people were saved, and AFTERWARDS they were baptized (this is
water baptism, indicated by the context). The moment they gladly received
(believed) the Gospel, they were saved. And then after they were saved,
they were water baptized as a public profession of their faith. Acts
2:41, “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and
the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
1st Corinthians 15:1-4 defines “the
Gospel.” There is no mention of water baptism, nor of praying a
prayer, nor of speaking in tongues, nor of turning from sins, nor anything
else. The False Gospel Of Inviting Jesus
Into Your Life Here is the best quote that I've ever found on repentance, by Dr. Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951):
My friend, Jesus doesn't forgive sin! That's right! Jesus paid for your sins and mine on the cross! Jesus forgave our sins by paying for them! Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, He was buried, and He bodily raised up three days later for our justification! If you receive the Gospel (Good News) as payment for your sins, you are saved! Remember, “the Gospel” of the Lord Jesus Christ (as defined in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4) is that, Jesus Christ DIED on the cross for our sins, was BURIED, and bodily RESURRECTED three days later. This is the Gospel. You don't have to pray to be saved. You don't have to confess Christ before men, You don't have to cease from sinful bad habits. The Holy Bible simply says to RECEIVE THE GOSPEL, that is, BELIEVE THE GOOD NEWS when you hear it!!! Galatians 3:2, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” In the Old Testament, many of the Jews perished in the Wilderness, because they heard Moses preach the Gospel but did not receive it by faith. They didn't believe the Gospel! Do you understand that these very same Jews saw God part the Red Sea and deliver them from the hands of the Egyptians? Hebrews 4:2, “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” If you admit that you are a sinner, and you by faith receive the Gospel as payment for your sins, you are saved!!! It's that simple to be born-again. Please do so now friend, if you have never done so. I so much want to see you in Heaven! If you receive the preaching of Christ's
death on the cross as payment for your sins, believing that He was
buried and bodily resurrected three days later, YOU ARE BORN-AGAIN!!! We
are saved by BELIEVING, nothing else! This is why the words “believe”
and “believed” are mentioned 85 times in the Gospel of John, but the
word “repent” is not mentioned even once. The man who believes has
repented. To believe is to receive! “Repentance” is acknowledging that I
am a guilty sinner in the eyes of a holy God (Romans 3:19; Galatians
3:24-26). If a person didn't repent, they would never believe the Gospel
of Jesus Christ to be saved (John 3:20). Beware of Living the Christian Life
Without Being Born Again Sadly, most people have religion without truth, churchianity without Christianity. Religion is the worst thing that ever happened to this world. With all the thousands of false religions, Satanic deceptions, and false prophets in the world—it is not surprising that so many lost sinners are Hell-bound for an eternity of suffering. The purpose of this website is to motivate believers to become aggressive soulwinners for Jesus Christ, to teach people how to become soulwinners, and to provide as many resources as possible to equip the soulwinner. Granted, the Holy Bible is our ONLY authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, reproof and instruction. 2nd Timothy 3:16, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” Nothing can substitute for the Holy Bible. It is also the purpose of this website to EXPOSE the many enemies of soulwinning, which blind the masses and keep people from getting saved. Jesus clearly stated, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). Apart from being born again, no person can enter Heaven! This must eliminate at least over 95% of the population. As an example: Don't believe the lie, not for one second, that Muslims and Christians worship the SAME God. No, we don't! The Koran (Quran) clearly states in, The Women 4.171, that God has NO Son. In sharp contrast, John 3:16 in the Word of God declares that God DOES have a Son, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The Koran even goes as far as to claim that Jesus never died, nor was He crucified on a cross (The Women, 4.157). Clearly, Islam and Christianity are DIAMETRICALLY opposed. Yet, the Devil comes to people through MANY false prophets today, even former President George W. Bush, who falsely claimed that Christians and Muslims worship the SAME God. Allah is a pagan god, who has no son. Jesus Christ is Almighty God (John 10:33; Revelation 1:8), the second Person of the Godhead (John 1:1-3,10; Matthew 28:19-20), the Christ (Luke 2:11), and He is the Son of God (John 3:16)! 1st John 4:14 declares, “And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.” What are you Muslims talking about? Clearly, the Koran and Islam are enemies of God, and of soulwinning. Furthermore, most of the world's churches are dead today, resembling a spiritual morgue more than the house of God. While millions of babies continue to be murdered through abortion, the world's churches are eerily silent. I was horrified when 20,562 Presbyterians ministers in 10,083 churches in March of 2015 approved of same-sex marriages in all their churches. IT IS WICKEDNESS!!! Presbyterians, Evangelist Billy Sunday and Pastor J. Vernon McGee, would have heart-attacks if they saw this hellishness today!!! While professed Christians continue to play with religion, the world is plunging into the abyss of Hellfire ...
It was also Billy Sunday who spoke these sad words describing the apostate condition of churches today ...
All around the world today, professed "Christians" are not bearing fruit. Jesus said in John 15:5, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” The Word of God plainly teaches that those believers who abide in Jesus Christ WILL bear much fruit (Luke 8:15). How many people have you witnessed to this year? Last year? Since you've been saved? HOW TO WIN UNSAVED LOVED ONES (a great MP3 sermon by Pastor Tom Malone, who says concerning winning lost loved ones: “There's no substitute for concern!”) This website has been published to stir a fire for soulwinning in the hearts of believers, and to provide as many resources as possible to help you in that cause. You don't need to buy anything, nor do I sell anything. 2nd Corinthians 4:18, “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” God deliver us from money-hungry believers. Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God (Romans 5:15), paid for by Jesus' precious blood (1st Peter 1:18,19). Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth (John 16:13). In John 5:39 Jesus commanded for each of us to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!!! The Bible can make us complete in Christ (2nd Timothy 3:16,17). We don't need more books, videos presentations, or seminars—we need Christians who walk with the Lord in prayer, study the Scriptures, and have a zeal for SOULWINNING. Rise up oh Christian... “Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few” (Matthew 9:37). END Here's a picture of me from November 27, 2008 playing a 1936 Rickenbacher Hawaiian lap steel. My mother loved music and started playing the piano when she was 4-years old. Here's a recording of her playing piano before she had a stroke in 1989. She died at age 65 on August 20, 2001 in Chicago. I miss my mother dearly. I used to perform steel guitar at the nursing home for my mother. I recently recorded Moon of Manakoora (MP3) with this guitar and also Rainbows Over Paradise (MP3). If you like steel guitar music, please visit my music website at SteelC6th.com. Here is a Trip Down The Trails of Time from my life. Kindest regards,
