John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”
Kindly said, Pacific Garden Mission (PGM) in Chicago should change their radio program's title from “UNSHACKLED” to “SHACKLED,” because that is what they are actually doing, shackling lost people to a counterfeit plan of salvation.
Tragically, if you look at their employees, they're all young yuppie types who are neo-evangelicals caught in Satan's deadly trap of Lordship Salvation. Dear reader, UNSHACKLED radio today is a stinking toilet full of religious dung. I am being honest, not crude. One of the things that God hates in Proverbs 6:19 is “a false witness that speaketh lies.” PGM is very wrong on God's simple plan of salvation.
I listened to one of their recent episodes (#3890) titled, “Jilla and Mahmoud - Part 2,” in which you will hear Jilla telling her mother that she knows she is saved because she was bold to express her faith in Jesus publicly. Folks, that is absolutely NOT how you can know for sure that you're saved. Jilla says to her mother (as her Mom is trying to silence her)...
“I am a follower of Jesus and I don't care who knows it. I am not ashamed of Jesus and I do not care who knows it.”
Jilla then says...
“This is the moment I knew that I was born again. I knew it, and because she witnessed me going forward, my mother knew it too.”
Dear reader, this is the nonsensical rubbish that is typical in UNSHACKLED's problematic episodes, which are woefully devoid of a free grace Gospel message. You don't get to Heaven by becoming a follower of Jesus, as the unsaved false teachers in Matthew 7:21-23 learned the hard way, to their eternal horror and damnation in the fires of Hell. So, following Jesus cannot be used as evidence that someone is saved.
Furthermore, Peter was ashamed of Jesus and he was saved. So, not being ashamed of Jesus cannot be used as evidence that someone is saved.
And walking forward in response to a public church invitation is not evidence of salvation. PGM's UNSHACKLED radio programs are lame at best, and damnable heresy at worst. Please be aware of these dangers my friend. I care, which is why I am warning everyone. I have no doubt that PGM's staff are sincere, but what saith the Scripture? Proverbs 16:25, “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” No one in the Bible was saved by walking down a church aisle, following Jesus, repenting of their sins or surrendering to the Lordship of Christ.
Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951) said it well...
WHEN THE REVIVALIST comes promising salvation to those "who make a full surrender" of all that they have to God, and who "pay the price of full salvation," he is preaching another gospel, for the price was paid on Calvary's cross and the work that saves is finished. It was Christ Jesus who made the full surrender, when He yielded Himself unto death for us that we might be redeemed from the curse of the broken law and forever saved from the judgment to come upon all who refuse His grace. —Pastor Harry Ironside, 'Another Gospel'
On their website, UNSHACKED wickedly promotes and bids Godspeed to some of the most corrupt preachers of our generation, including false teachers: John MacArthur, Chuck Swindoll, Robert Jeffress, Dave and Ann Wilson, James Dobson and David Jeremiah (to name but a few). It is sad and tragic that PGM's new management has succumbed to the demonic false teachers of our generation. All of the aforementioned names are wrong on the Gospel.
For example: Dave and Ann Wilson's lame messages that you must “surrender and repent” is not going to get anybody saved. It is discipleship not sonship. It is service not salvation. We must never confuse the two. Pilgrim's Progress author John Bunyan said it very well...
“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —John Bunyan (1628-1688)
Lordship Salvation is the mixing of service with salvation, so that their plan of salvation now requires following Jesus as the “Lord” of your life, full surrender of your will to live for God, and a willingness to turn away from your sinful bad habits. This is all contrary to the free gift of God, which is eternal life through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ. Turning from one's sins is an act of human reformation (behavior modification), not biblical repentance (a change of mind). The problem today is that 99% of people follow the false teachers, instead of obeying the dear Savior's command in John 5:39 to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!
