Welcome to KENTURION, a word play on my love for history and my name. This website contains my Gospel teaching, Bible apologetics and historical research.
I am a Fundamentalist Independent Baptist Bible-believing Christian, and desire for all who encounter my work to be presented with a clear Gospel message to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, be edified in sound, Bible doctrine and to enjoy various historical topics and studies.
REPENT & BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND BE SAVED!
WE ARE ALL SINNERS & STAND GUILTY BEFORE GOD. WE ALL DESERVE HELL.
Romans 3:23 — For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:12 — Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 6:23 — For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
NO ONE CAN EARN THEIR WAY INTO HEAVEN. OUR GOOD DEEDS ARE NOT ENOUGH.
Romans 3:19-20 — Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Galatians 3:11 — But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
GOD LOVED US ENOUGH TO MAKE A WAY OF SALVATION THROUGH HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST
John 3:16 — For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 5:8 — But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
TO BE SAVED, WE ONLY NEED TO BELIEVE THE GOSPEL (THE GOOD NEWS)
Romans 1:16 — For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
I Corinthians 15:1-4 — Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 10:9-14 — That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
IF WE BELIEVE THE GOSPEL & CALL UPON CHRIST FOR SALVATION, WE ARE SAVED BY HIS BLOOD!
Ephesians 1:7 — In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 2:8-9 — For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 3:24-25 — Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 5:1,2,9 — Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
BEWARE OF FALSE GOSPELS!!!
All false gospels deny or corrupt, omit or add to the one thing someone needs for salvation:
faith in the blood atonement of Christ alone.
Self Reformation (Fix your life first, then God will save you.)
Repentance is a change of mind and attitude toward God, not sinless perfection. It’s a change of mind that leads to faith and a life of believing and following Christ. True repentance is the result of godly sorrow, not a self reform. It’s not about cleaning up your life, but admitting you’re lost and guilty, in need of a Saviour. Christ will take care of that after you are saved.(See Acts 20:2 & 2 Corinthians 7:10.)
Lordship Salvation
Teaches that you must “make Jesus Lord of your life” or “turn from all sin” before you can be saved. Adds human performance to salvation. Confuses discipleship (which costs) with salvation (which is free). (See Romans 4:5)
Baptismal Regeneration / Infant Baptism
Teaches that water baptism is required for salvation. Common in Catholicism, Church of Christ, and many Pentecostal groups. Salvation takes place before Baptism. See 1 Corinthians 1:17; Acts 8:25-27; Acts 10:43-44
Catholic Sacramentalism (Roman Catholicism / Papism)
Teaches that Salvation comes by sacraments like the mass, confession, and penance. False because Christ’s one sacrifice is complete, forever. (See Hebrews 10:10,14)
Calvinism (Limited Atonement)
Teaches Jesus only died for the predestined elect and did not die for all mankind. False because Scripture declares He died for all. (See 1 Timothy 2:6; 2 Peter 3:9)
The Social Gospel
Teaches that Salvation is about social justice, activism, and improving the world. False because it neglects the cross, the blood, and the need for personal faith. (See 1 Corinthians 2:2)
The Prosperity Gospel (Joel Osteen & Joyce Meyer’s Gospel)
Teaches that If you believe enough, God will make you rich and healthy. False because it appeals to the flesh and denies suffering for Christ. (See Philippians 1:29 & 2 Corinthians 8:9)
The Works-Based Gospel (Legalism)
Teaches that You must keep commandments, laws, or church ordinances to be saved. False because salvation is a free gift by faith, not earned by works. (See Ephesians 2:8-9 & Titus 3:5)
