Description: Join me, Maria Merola & Mark Ciasullo of The Final Countdown as we do a podcast on Sunday July 19th from 11:00 a.m. EST until 1:00 p.m. EST. The title of the show is Dispensationalism, Marcionism & Hyper-Calvinism, the Leaven of Modern Day Pharisees. Mark and I will be discussing the origins of Dispensationalism and how it began only 200 years ago and is being taught in all of the seminaries and Bible Colleges. Dispensationalism seeks to divide the church from Israel making the Church into a completely separate entity from Israel thereby making it virtually impossible to win the Jews to their very Jewish Messiah. Marcione was a theologian in the 2nd Century who taught Gnosticism and he taught that the God of the Old Testament was evil while the God of the New Testament was good. Gnosticism purports that "Lucifer and Jesus are the same being" and that Lucifer was the God of the Old Testament and therefore the Law or Torah of God (5 books of Moses) is evil and wicked. Marcione taught that the New Testament scriptures are all that we need and we no longer need the Old Testament scriptures. This attitude also permeates the modern day church today and is a cancer that has corrupted the body of Messiah from within. Hyper-Calvinism is this "once saved always saved" Cheap Grace mentality which says that we can never lose our salvation no matter how much we sin! But we see a completely different picture in the scriptures. We find that it is possible to have one's name blotted out of the book of life after having it in there! Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. And what about the 10 virgins? 5 of these virgins started out with oil (symbolic of the Holy Spirit) in their lamps, but they let their oil run out! And let's not forget the word of Yeshua: Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Salvation is a free gift from God and we cannot earn our salvation through doing good works. We are saved by grace through faith, not of works lest any man should boast. But Paul also goes on to tell us that we must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Why fear and trembling? Because it is possible to have your name blotted out of the book of life if you don't overcome sin, the antichrist and the world! Yeshua overcame the world, and it is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that we too can overcome the devil, the world and the flesh. We are admonished in James Chapter 2 that by works of faith we are saved and not by faith only: James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. None of us knows for sure whose names will remain in the book of life. Only the Father knows whose names have been written in the book since the foundations of the world. He alone knows for sure who is predestined after the foreknowledge of the Father (1st Peter 1:1-2). The Israelites were saved out of Egypt, but many of them died after the golden calf incident. It is possible to start out saved and still perish in the end. Let us search out the scriptures like the Noble Bereans and compare them to the Doctrines & Commandments of men. We are instructed by our Messiah to be taught by the Holy Spirit and he said that we have no need to be taught by men.
