That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:15
Pastor John Ricci is the pastor of Grace Fellowship Church in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. He is a fearless defender of the free Grace position on the doctrine of salvation. Calvinism and Arminianism have both subtilty introduced works into the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Those doctrines present nothing new to the modern church.
Calvinists declare that if you do not persevere in good works and if you fall into sin after your decision to trust Christ then you were never a Christian in the first place. Arminians declare that if you fall into sin after you believe then you have lost that salvation and must regain it by recommitting your life to Christ. Both are heretical. The Bible tells us in the Gospel of John that the sole requirement to gain eternal life is to believe in Jesus Christ for it! The Bible also tells us that this "belief" is a one time event that has eternal benefits.
Aren't you glad that God so loved you and me that He made Heaven attainable through simple faith?
