Incredible but true. I listened to Charles Stanley preach yesterday which was 2/15/09 on his In Touch show.
He was jumping all over the bible trying hard to convince his audience that once saved always saved is biblical.
The problem is IF he would go through ALL the bible he could never in all honesty preach this false teaching.
Its true that one can be sure of the eternal security BUT not the way Mr. Stanley presents it. Charles said, and has said many times, that if you say the sinners prayer and walk the aisle and get dunked that you are saved FOREVER No matter what you do.
Now this is opposite from what the bible teaches. How dangerous to believe this lie. Remember that this is Satan's favorite lie.
I will share with you about two people that I know personally. One is a in law. He was in the Baptist church for over forty years. he was taught once saved always saved. He became a drunk. But because he said the sinners prayer and walked the aisle and got dunked that he is saved no matter what he does.
My bible clearly says NO drunkard can enter the kingdom of God.
Another is a lady who has been remarried many times. She believes once saved always saved so no matter how many times she is divorced and remarried she is saved any way. My bible says this is wrong.
I ask you to please read your bible from cover to cover. Then you will catch the lies from these OSAS teachers. Keep the Scripture in context never jumping all over the bible trying to prove a teaching.
Just wanted to keep warning those who are not grounded in the scripture. Time is way too short to fall for the biggest lie ever. Your soul is too important to fall for this lie. We are talking about where your soul will spend all eternity.
Charles Stanley has a lot of souls to account for. At the same time those who believe the lie will give account when the stand before Jesus to be judged. By the time we stand before Jesus its too late. We can not change our mind then its done.
Beware of false teachers and false doctrines.

Satan's got a whole bag of tricks. One of the worst tricks up his sleeve is slandering people's understanding of the fear of God. Today, especially within the last 100 years, we have reduced the fear of God simply to a mild reverence, and not actually trembling at His word as we ought to, or working out our salvation in fear and trembling.
If the foundations of the church are destroyed, then we have a fruitless, evil, Babylon church set before us that is going to continually get worse and worse. If the foundations are tampered with, and things like grace, love, and the fear of God are redefined, then you will have church that bears fruit that will become a "fiery flying cockatrice". The true fruit of the spirit can only come from people who abide in the HOLY spirit (not the god of this world, or the spirit of Antichrist, which is everywhere). You cannot bear the fruit of repentance through a perverted gospel that has removed repentance. There are many many "good" people who will stand before the Lord on the day of judgment, ones that paid tithes and did many good works, but the Lord will say to them "I never knew you." These are people that were never perfected in obedience, who did not have the fear of God.
Be warned!
Another thing. If there is no repentance, there can be no peace. The Comforter, or the Paraclete as some call Him, cannot come to live with people who do not have humble hearts to God (broken heart, contrite spirit), or fear His name. Jesus said "My peace I give you, not as the world gives you." A perverted grace from a perverted gospel is a curse, and will never bring Holy peace into someone's life. And that person will never know the joy of true Salvation.
I typed in fiery flying cockatrice in google, and I found a very insightful sermon regarding what you are speaking of with Charles Stanley. Would you believe that this very false doctrine that CS is perpetuating has roots in ancient Philistia? I didn't know that until a minute ago! Salvation by faith without a change in how you live your life is actually an ancient corruption that has managed to seep into this age's church.
See this sermon, and it explains what you are talking about even further:

And keep looking out for false doctrines. Blessings from the Holy Spirit.
