Is It Possible To Believe In Jesus ... And NOT Be Saved?
It Possible To Believe In Jesus ...
And NOT Be Saved?
by Sandy Simpson, 5/8/02
I'm sure some of you are reading this thinking: "Has Sandy finally gone
heretical?"& But before you drop the gavel on this one, let's step
through this subject carefully.& This will not be an exhaustive paper
(as if there is such a thing) and we all have a lot to learn on this subject.&
But I have been doing some thinking about these things because of all the
heretics and false prophets that have gone out ... so many of them claiming
to "believe in Jesus" or to "love Jesus".& But claiming to love Jesus
Christ without obeying His commands is a lie:
John 14:21& Whoever has my commands and obeys them,
he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I too will love him and show myself to him."
John 15:10& If you obey my commands, you will remain in my
love, just as I have obeyed my Father?s commands and remain in his
1 John 5:3& This is love for God: to obey his commands. And
his commands are not burdensome,
1 John 1:6& If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk
in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
THE ANSWER
The answer to the title of this essay is "yes".
Okay, I did pose a bit of a trick question.& Those of you who are
astute will have noticed that I purposely didn't say "Lord Jesus Christ"
in the title.
Many cults claim to believe in Jesus, and this brings up my first point.&
Is there any condition on salvation by grace alone through faith alone
in Christ alone?& There must be if you believe that there are cults,
because by definition cults teach against one or more of the core doctrines
of the Faith.& You cannot be saved unless you believe in the TRUTH
about Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:10& and in every sort of evil that
deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to
love the truth and so be saved.
2 Thessalonians 2:13& But we ought always to thank God for you,
brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to
be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief
in the truth.
1 Timothy 2:4& who wants all men to be saved and to come
to a knowledge of the truth.
You cannot be saved and believe in another "Jesus" (2 Cor. 11:4, Gal. 1:6)
as do the cults.& Virtually every cult denies the doctrine that Jesus
Christ is 100% man and 100% God for all eternity.& They teach He is
a man only, or Spirit only, or that he was an anointed man and is now Spirit,
or some other nonsense.& Why do orthodox biblical Christian believers
consider cult members to be unsaved and in need of having the Gospel preached
to them?& Because to be saved it matters what you believe ABOUT
Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation, and not just that you believe
that Jesus existed (eg. Bahai), was a prophet (eg. Muslims), was only Spirit
(eg. Gnostics), was only an anointed man (eg. Word-Faith), or anything
else.& This is one key to this whole topic I will be coming back to.
One more important point we need to consider before we get into biblical
examples.& I know you are probably saying: "But doesn't the Bible
simply say 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved - you
and your household?' (Acts 16:31) Isn't belief the only criteria there
is for salvation?"& You are absolutely right.& But look at this
verse closely, one among many that talk about the terms of salvation, and
you will begin to get a better picture about what "belief" in Christ is
really all about.
The word "believe" in this and many verses, is the verb pisteuo derived
from the noun pistis meaning "faith, assurance, belief".& But
a verb is an action word.& The usage of the word pisteou means
"commit unto, commit to (one's) trust, be committed unto, be put in trust
with, be committed to one's trust."& It's defined by Strong as being
in the "aorist tense, active voice, imperative mood".& This word is
used 375 times in the KJV.& So "believe" not only means to believe
once but to commit to believing, to continue to believe.& The
word is translated "believing" in one of the most literal English translations
from the Greek, namely Young's Literal Translation, which is more literal
than the KJV, NASB, RSV, etc.& Compare this translation with your
favorite one and you will begin to see that belief is more than a one time
event in a person's lifetime. Look at the verses
briefly to see that to "believe" is to continuously believe and keep believing.
You can see by the examples that many verses regarding salvation use
the phrases "is believing", "those believing", "are believing".& A
person must not only believe once but continue to believe on through to
the end.& Belief is a commitment to believe.& In fact the one
who overcomes the world is one who "is believing" that Jesus is the Son
1 John 5:5& who is he who is overcoming the world,
if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God? (YLT)
"LORD JESUS CHRIST"
Acts 16:31 says that we must believe in the "Lord Jesus Christ".&
This is a very telling statement.
We must first believe and continue believing that Jesus Christ is LORD.&
He is God.& He is the Only Son of God, yet is also the One Almighty
God.& He is not the Father but is the exact image of the Father.&
He is part of the one "What" and three "Whos" with each "Who" possessing
all the attributes of Deity and personality that make up the Trinity.
The Lord Jesus Christ is also sovereign.& When we believe on the
"Lord" Jesus Christ we lay down our rights and our very life, nailing them
to the cross of Christ, and He becomes the complete King, President, Boss,
Director of our lives.
He is also "Jesus" "Christ".& He is the Redeemer and He is the
Messiah, the Anointed One of God.& He is the only one Who can deliver
us from our sins.& In this one statement we can see the 100% humanity
and 100% Deity of Christ.& And we must keep believing that!
1 John 5:1& Every one who is believing that Jesus
is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten ...
"WILL BE SAVED"
The last important aspect of this verse is to notice that Paul did not
say "you are saved" but "you will be saved".& Salvation is not only
the moment when the Holy Spirit seals and baptizes the believer but, more
importantly, it is the end.& The same word pisteuo is used
in Acts 16:31. We must continue to believe, keep believing in the Lord
Jesus Christ for our ultimate salvation.& We must overcome by faith,
which means that we continue to believe in the true Jesus, the true Gospel,
the true Spirit till the end.
Matthew 24:13& but he who stands firm to the end will
Mark 16:16& Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,
but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Romans 10:9& That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is
Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you
Why would Paul not proclaim that the jailer and his household were immediately
saved like we often hear preached today?& It is because Paul was teaching
truth.& Paul knew he was not omniscient.& He didn't know the
ultimate condition of any person.& God does.& God knows whom
He has justified.& But we must continue to believe!& A
person has free will and, as such, they are fully capable and fully free
to either submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy
Spirit in their life, or they can be "not believing" or "unbelieving".&
If a person is unbelieving, notice how John warns the Church, to whom Revelation
was written:
Revelation 21:8 "But the cowardly, the unbelieving,
the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic
arts, the idolaters and all liars? their place will be in the fiery
lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Unbelief is obviously the state of a person before they first believe.&
But unbelief can also become the state of a person who shipwrecks their
faith (1 Tim. 1:19) or falls away (Luke 8:13) into unbelief after they
initially "believe".& That's the way I read the Scripture, and Scripture
is what I base my doctrines upon, not .& We'll look at some prime examples from the Bible
on this issue later.
Let's look at one more verse for a few more necessities for belief in
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 10:9& That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus
is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved.
The Father raised the Son from the dead.& God Himself died physically
to pay the penalty of death for your sins.& We must believe that Jesus
Christ died as a substitutional sacrifice for our sins, and that He rose
again as a guarantee of our resurrection to everlasting life.
There are many more verses regarding salvation, but suffice it to say
that we must believe in the real Jesus, the real Gospel, the real Spirit
to have the assurance of salvation.
Now let's look at some biblical examples of people who "believed" but
were not saved.& I could go back to the Old Testament and look at
the lives of those who believed in God but ended up in unbelief like Saul,
Solomon, and many in Israel but because of the New Covenant I will use
New Testament examples.
BIBLICAL EXAMPLES
SIMON MAGUS
Probably one of the prime examples for our purposes is Simon Magus,
or Simon the Sorcerer.
Acts 8:9-24
Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery
in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was
someone great, and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention
and exclaimed, "This man is the divine power known as the Great Power."
followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his magic.
But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom
of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere,
astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.
Simon was called "The Great Power".& He was a sorcerer who used many
tricks to convince people he was someone of authority.& But when he
saw the miracles being done through Philip and heard the Good News, the
Bible states that he believed and was baptized.
When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted
the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. When they arrived,
they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, because the
Holy Spirit had not yet c they had simply been
baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John placed their
hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. When Simon saw that the
Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles? hands, he offered
them money and said, "Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom
I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
Notice that this is still during the Pentecostal period when the Holy Spirit
was first being given to the Jews then the Gentiles.& This is not
normative for our age because now EVERYONE who believes is immediately
sealed (Eph.1:13-14, 2 Cor. 1:21-22) and baptized (1 Cor. 12:13-13, Gal.
3:26-28) in the Holy Spirit.& Notice also that the apostles prayed
that they might receive the Holy Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit baptized
the believers AT the laying on of hands, not BY them.& So Simon, being
a magician and used to buying his magic tricks as magicians have for millennia,
tried to buy this ability.& This was a wrong view of the laying on
of hands just as it continues to be today.& The baptism of the Spirit
is not based on an anointing or ability, but based on belief, submission
and a relationship to the will of the Father.
Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because
you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no part
or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God.
Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive
you for having such a thought in your heart. For I see that you are
full of bitterness and captive to sin." Then Simon answered, "Pray to
the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me."
Peter judged Simon Magus rightly and saw that his heart was no longer right
with God.& This is AFTER HE HAD BELIEVED!& He tells him to repent.&
But what does Simon do?& He doesn't repent himself but asks the apostles
to pray for him.
The end of the story of unrepentant Simon Magus can be found in the
historical records of the early church fathers.& Irenaeus, about 180
AD, wrote one of the earliest Christian refutations of Gnosis, entitled
HAERESES. His view of the history of Gnosticism begins with Simon Magus.
Simon is said to have been one of the primary founders of Christian
Gnosticism!
JUDAS ISCARIOT
Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve original disciples.& We don't
know for sure if he believed in Jesus Christ, but he certainly followed
him and was one of the twelve.& I personally believe that Judas started
out on the road to belief and then, through consistent disobedience, greed
and disbelief, fell away.
Acts 1:16-17& and said, "Brothers, the Scripture had
to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth
of David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested
Jesus?he was one of our number and shared in this ministry."
How could Judas have "shared in this ministry" and not been a follower
of Christ?& Isn't that the definition of a "Christian"? Judas was
called out and he followed Christ.
Luke 6:16& Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot,
became a traitor.
So apparently Judas, mentioned as one of the twelve in Matt. 26:14, 47
and Mark 14:10, BECAME a traitor.& Is it possible he was not a traitor
to begin with? Somewhere in the middle of Jesus' ministry Judas started
taking money that he was entrusted with. By this time he obviously no longer
loved the Lord with a pure heart:
John 12:3-6& Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard,
she poured it on Jesus? feet and wiped his feet with
her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.But
one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,
"Why wasn?t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth
a year?s wages." He did not say this because he cared about the poor
but be as keeper of the money bag, he used to help
himself to what was put into it.
So we see the pattern of disobedience and sin taking over Judas' life.&
This is the road he continued down all the way to betrayal of Christ. Satan
entered Judas and he fell away, never to be redeemed.
Luke 22:3& Then Satan entered Judas, called
Iscariot, one of the Twelve.
Matt. 26:14-16& Then one of the Twelve? the one called Judas
Iscariot? went to the chief priests and asked, "What are you willing
to give me if I hand him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty
silver coins. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him
Judas then followed through on his bargain for money.& The love of
money is the root of all kinds of evil!
Matt. 26:47-50& While he was still speaking, Judas,
one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords
and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now
the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I
arrest him." Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!"
and kissed him. Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for." Then
the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.
With this act of betrayal Judas sealed his judgment.
Matt. 27:3-5& When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw
that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty
silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he
said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." "What is that to us?" they
replied. "That?s your responsibility." So Judas threw the money into the
temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
Judas did recognize his sin before he hung himself, but notice in the preceding
verses that he called Jesus "Rabbi" or Teacher. Amazingly, after all the
time he had spent with Christ, Judas still did not recognize that Jesus
Christ was God or that He could save him, thus he perished unsaved. Yes,
Judas did "believe" in Jesus enough to be his disciple and follow Him,
but not enough to acknowledge that He is the Lord and Messiah.& This
is a lesson for us.& We can recognize our sin, but without recognizing
that Jesus Christ is God and that He can save us, that recognition of sin
is not enough to save us.& Recognition of sin must be accompanied
by repentance and turning from sin, belief in the LORD Jesus Christ, and
a continued obedience to walk in His commands.
MANY DISCIPLES
Many disciples turned back from Jesus Christ because they did not believe
that He was the Son of God.
John 6:66& From this time many of his disciples
turned back and no longer followed him.
After Jesus gave the hard teaching about drinking His blood and eating
His flesh, many disciples turned their back on Him.
John 6:60-65& On hearing it, many of his disciples
said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" Aware that his disciples
were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? What
if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! The Spirit gives
the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are
spirit and they are life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe."
Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who
would betray him. He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no
one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him."
Jesus knew who would turn back, but did they know?& No, they didn't
know until they were confronted with truth they were unwilling to accept,
the cost of discipleship.& These disciples who turned back believed
for awhile and followed Jesus Christ, perhaps as a great teacher or prophet,
but they did not have enough faith in Christ to accept His words as truth,
which they would have if they had believed that He was God. Notice that
the Twelve did believe. Nonetheless, these "many disciples" who turned
back did so because they did not ultimately recognize Jesus Christ as Lord.&
If they had they would have entrusted themselves into His care like the
Twelve did.
MODERN EXAMPLES
Though I have my serious doubts whether or not the following people
have ever truly believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, the fact is that they
claim to be shining examples of belief that "Jesus Is Lord" and claim they
are the "anointed ones" and "holy men of God".& These are examples
of people who may never have been true believers, and though they claim
to believe in Jesus, they teach false doctrines, make false prophecies
and do not exhibit the fruit of the Spirit.& The most important point,
however, is that they have proven by what they say and do, that they do
not believe in the TRUTH about the Lord Jesus Christ.
The big logo on Kenneth Copeland's television program reads "Jesus Is
Lord".& Many would infer from this statement that since Copeland is
confessing that "Jesus Is Lord" that he is saved.& But the problem
is that the "Lord" of Copeland is ultimately himself.& He has said
that Jesus Christ is the "high priest of his (Copeland's) words" (Kenneth
Copeland, TBN). This means that though he regards Jesus Christ as his high
priest, he is a "high priest" who must do what Copeland proclaims and immediately
grant him his every wish when he declares something "into existence".&
How can Jesus Christ be the Lord of Copeland when Copeland is the one doing
the bossing around?& Kenneth has also claimed many times to be "God":
"You don't have a god in you, you are one." (Kenneth Copeland,
"The Force Of Love" tape # 02-0028)
"You are not a spiritual schizophrenic -- half-God and half-Satan
-- you are all-God" (Kenneth Copeland, Now We Are in Christ Jesus (Fort
Worth: KCP Publications, 1980), 16-17)
Who has the Lordship over whom?& The "Lord" of Word-Faith is a "lord"
who is at their beck and call for anything they want, especially money,
who can be thrown around a room at will, and who loves to put people into
trances and make them act like animals.& This is clearly not the Lord
Jesus Christ we are talking about.
"Jesus had to go through that same spiritual death in order
to pay the price. Now it wasn't the physical death on the cross that paid
the price for sin,& because if it had of been any prophet of God that
had died for the last couple of thousand years before that could have paid
that price. It wasn't physical death anybody could do that." (Kenneth Copeland,
"What Satan Saw on the Day of Pentecost" (Kenneth Copeland Ministries,
audio tape #020022)
Jesus had to "accept the sin nature of Satan." (Kenneth Copeland,
What Happened from the Cross to the Throne, side 2.)
"... He (Jesus) was the first man to every be born from death to
spiritual life ... if He hadn't been spiritually born
again, how in the world do you think you ever got it?..." (You need
Internet Explorer to hear this file.& Go to this page, read the instructions,
then click on "Jesus Was The First Born Again Man!").
The "Jesus" of Kenneth Copeland and ALL Word-Faith teachers including Kenneth
Hagin, Benny Hinn, Creflo Dollar, and many more is a "Jesus" whose physical
death on the cross did not pay for our sins, who accepted the nature of
Satan on the cross, and who had to be born again spiritually.& This
is not the Lord Jesus Christ we are talking about.& So when Kenneth
Copeland displays his logo "Jesus Is Lord" he is talking about another
"Jesus", a "Jesus" who is not 100% God and 100% human for all eternity,
was not sinless, and therefore cannot save.
As mentioned above, Benny Hinn also claims he believes in Jesus Christ,
but his "Jesus" is not the Jesus of the Bible, nor is He the Son of God.&
Hinn also asserts that he is a "little messiah", a "god", the "I AM":
"Christians are "Little Messiah's and "little gods" on the
earth. Thus [Encouraging the audience]...say "I am a God-man....This spirit-man
within me is a God-man..." say "I'm born of heaven-a God-man. I'm a God
man. I am a sample of Jesus. I'm a super being. Say it! Say it! Who's a
super being? "I walk in the realm of the supernatural." Say it!...You want
to prosper? Money will be falling on you from left, right and centre. God
will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness....Say
after me, "everything I ever want is in me already." (Benny Hinn, TBN,
"Are you ready for some real revelation knowledge....you are god"
(Benny Hinn, "Our Position In Christ", tape # AO31190-1)
"Don't tell me you have Jesus. You ARE everything He was, and everything
He is and shall be." (Benny Hinn, TBN)
Let's look at what Hinn has taught about the Lord Jesus Christ:
"He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way
I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it
touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of
God became the nature of Satan where He became sin!" (Benny Hinn, TBN,
What more needs to be said?& Benny Hinn claims he is a Christian and
believes in Jesus Christ, but his "Jesus" became one in nature with Satan.&
Hinn says that he and other Christians are "little gods".& I have
one video where he gets the audience to chant that they are the "I AM".&
This is blasphemy and it proves that Benny Hinn cannot be saved unless
he repents of these beliefs.
Be careful of those who claim to believe in Jesus Christ yet teach against
His dual nature.& Be sure to check what is being taught both explicitly
and implicitly regardless of doctrinal statements and position papers.&
When the Godhead is denied, there is no salvation.& When the dual
nature of Christ is denied, there is no salvation.& When salvation
by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone is denied, there is
no salvation.& When the Word of Truth is denied, there is no salvation.&
When Jesus' second coming bodily to rule and judge the earth is denied,
there is no salvation.
The point is that it matters what a person believes!
We are not saved on the basis of simply saying we believe Jesus existed,
was a great guy, was a prophet, was a wonderful teacher ... but on the
basis of our continued belief that Jesus Christ is Lord and that He will
ultimately save us and give us eternal life.
