Prologue
Is it necessary for people to know about Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God born in Bethlehem, in order for them to be saved and to receive eternal life? Will a pagan who does not believe in Christ but who lives a religious and outwardly moral life — devoted to his or her “god(s)” and practising charitable works — be excluded from heaven? Is it right to refer to unbelievers as being “lost” or “under the power of Satan”? Is it only genuine disciples of Christ who have the indwelling Holy Spirit living in them? These are some of the questions being asked today by many evangelicals in church leadership and on the mission field.
The Watershed Years of the 1980s and 1990s
Prior to the last few decades such questions were easily answered with a resounding “Yes!” in each case, in the full knowledge of scriptural support. But as relativism, unmitigated sentimentality, ‘wokeness’, and psychobabble have become the dominant influences in the life of the visible church — especially during the key Gospel-diluting years of the 1980s and 1990s — many are no longer willing to be guided by the plain teaching of the Bible concerning eternal salvation and eternal condemnation, but instead they have substituted either what they “feel” to be correct or whatever harmonizes with the prevailing trends of the day.
The False Claim that All Religions Are Different Paths to the Same Goal
We are now in the process of a massive shift in the religious life of this planet. At the heart of this process is the Hegelian notion that all religions essentially worship the same God and are merely different pathways to ultimate truth and perfection. This notion challenges the uniqueness and exclusiveness of the Christian message concerning the Lord Jesus Christ and the need for the Gospel to be preached to all nations. This concerted opposition to the Gospel is part of a dark, universal process by which the very fabric of the body of truth we call “Christianity” is being progressively torn apart. In this little book, we will deconstruct these ideas in three parts, showing their deceptive nature and the sources of impostorship which lie behind them.
The Roadmap for this Little Book
To this end, we shall look, in the first part, at the main influences which have led to the systematic global breakdown of the exclusive nature of the Christian Gospel. In the second part, we shall examine the way that popular teachings in the Church today about the indwelling Christ or Holy Spirit in unbelievers correspond closely with those of the occult, Eastern mysticism, and New Age spirituality which have so besotted the world in the last century. In the third part, we shall address the question of whether it is possible for a person who hasn’t heard about Christ to be saved.
