Prelude:
It is of the utmost importance that we realize we all see through a glass darkly and it won’t be until we are with our Lord will we have the full picture. We are however on the other hand commanded to study God’s word to show ourselves approved unto God and not be ignorant of His Word. Over the past 20 years of teaching the King James Bible I have come to realize the most misunderstood and misused doctrine is the Gospel - SALVATION. See study below on the Devil’s Hit List.
Salvation is how the NICOLAITANS keep people in Bondage and why Paul tells us to put on the HELMET OF SALVATION (someone once wrote the Devil’s greatest weapon is to get a saved person to question their salvation) to guard against two damnable heresies: Losing one’s salvation - preaching against OSAS and WORKS unto Salvation. These children of the devil will always preach another Gospel of WORKS and GRACE - hence misusing GRACE while warning of losing one’s salvation.
Of importance here is to understand the other side of the misuse of GRACE coin which is
Hyper Grace - sinning willfully which is no different from the lost and those adding works onto Grace.
Galatians 1:8,9 is VERY CLEAR THAT PREACHING ANOTHER GOSPEL IS TO BE ACCURSED. This is REPEATED.
Closely related to Salvation of course is ELECTION. Read Carefully and study Ephesians 1:4,5, verse 11. Corinthians and Romans 8:29-33.
Subsequently, hiding in the bushes of the Nicolaitans are the damnable CALVINISTS that preach Jesus Christ only died and paid for the sins of the ELECT. Again, without studying God’s word we would fall prey to this. See study on the Nicolaitans and the origins of Calvinism at the doorstep of the Vatican.
Jesus and I Hate the Deeds of the Nicolaitans
Heretical Calvinism among some Protestants is the Bridge to Catholicism #Apostasy #EndTimes
I fully understand that ULTIMATELY we TRULY DO NOT KNOW who is saved and who is NOT. Only God can judge their heart. Not man. What we can and should judge is their fruit and to reprove, rebuke and exhort with sound doctrine.
I also understand that some of my brethren do not agree with me regarding the Kingdom parables especially in this case Luke 8:13 where they quote:
“I strongly disagree with you (on Luke 8:13) Brother.
A Believer (SAVED) can fall away.”
I give them Grace in their understanding of doctrine. I do pray for them and love them. I understand they stand on the Prodigal Son and those like me who were saved at the age of 7 and yet spent years of my life in drunkenness and womanizing. Playing the continual game of asking forgiveness and walking back into sin again and again. But I personally never claimed God is a myth or claimed another Gospel other than GRACE. I was in the trap of HYPER GRACE.
My Testimony is that of Amazing Grace
I can only say the Prodigal Son had already had EARNEST INHERITANCE - was saved. See studies. And if we look carefully at the life of a backslider we do not see someone who denies Jesus Christ and or His WORD and or in the case of this CASE STUDY DON he changes to a WORKS BASED GOSPEL - Preaching another GOSPEL is is ACCURSED.
See the definition of ACCURSED and it does not mean this person will enter the Kingdom Of Heaven. This means this person never had the Spirit of Christ in them. Please see The case history I will present below about DON Below which is the purpose of this entire Study.
IF the Brethren were in disagreement over OSAS vs WORKS Based Salvation - I would DEPART FROM THEM IMMEDIATELY and not waste any more time casting pearls. However this is a doctrinal issue that we can see very fine lines between JUSTIFICATION and SANCTIFICATION.
I love my Brethren deeply and they me and we know this. In fact we talked openly on this and found the common ground of OSAS is the BOTTOM LINE of Solid Doctrine. The GRAY AREA is God's area to truly judge man's heart. And this is our stance. AMEN!
Two quick HYPER GRACE STORIES.
Me.
The man who told me God was cool with his 2 wives.
I knew I was WRONG and yet struggled terribly. This other man hardened his heart and we parted ways.
REGARDING MAJOR DOCTRINE like this Don in the Case study:
IF the person receive instruction they belong to God, if not they do not according to
1 Samuel 16:7 KJB
But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:16-20 KJB
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
2 Timothy 4:2 KJB
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
John 8:47 KJB
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Note: It is of no coincidence that John 8 is where the Pharisees commit the unpardonable sin and blaspheme the Holy Spirit and are condemned and clearly they think they are descendants of Abraham but are NOT.
See these studies:
Understanding Abraham is to understand the Church of Philadelphia
The Hilarious Irony of the Jew's understanding of Abraham
: The Greatest Irony imaginable Jacob (Israel) and Esau.... #Judaizers #Zionists #Antichrist
We are often confronted with someone claiming to be a Christian and yet their FRUIT does not bear this witness. There’s a disturbing movement within the Christian community that condemns “fruit inspecting” and this is wrong. See the studies in the Essential Study Links.
But today I want to specifically reprove the teaching found in this video whereby a false teacher claims that The Kingdom Parable of the SOWER specifically the seed that did not root and died is simply a backslidden saved person who is still saved and to imply that the Kingdom parables are not addressing someone who is not truly saved.
Hence, this Blog will serve as a CASE STUDY titled The FRUIT INSPECTOR CASE STUDY.

More Background information that is essential to the study
Galatians 5:19-21: This passage lists the "works of the flesh" which include adultery, fornication, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, and more. It states that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10: In this passage, Paul states that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. It lists behaviors such as fornication, idolatry, adultery, theft, and greed.
The question here is ENTERING THE KINGDOM VS INHERITING.
The Key is understanding JUSTIFICATION - ENTERING THE KINGDOM VS INHERITING THE KINGDOM
Justification is our earnest Inheritance; Sanctification is how we inherit.
Romans 9:13 1611
“As it is written, Iacob haue I loued, but Esau haue I hated.”
: The Greatest Irony imaginable Jacob (Israel) and Esau.... #Judaizers #Zionists #Antichrist
TO FORSAKE the INHERITANCE DENIES ENTRY. TO SIN - make mistakes after we are saved is Jacob and the many other saints. See King David, Abraham, Noah, Jacob, etc. Look at Paul in Romans 7.
In a deeper sense here is the question of Habitual continual sin without
Hebrews 10:26-27 from the KJV:
> "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries."
PAUL IS NOT ADDRESSING TRULY SAVED INDIVIDUALS BUT THOSE WHO ARE FAKE SEE MY LUKE 8:13 COMMENTARY on the Parable of the Sower falling on STONY GROUND.
John 13:27, where Jesus says to Judas, "That thou doest, do quickly." This occurs after Jesus has dipped a piece of bread and given it to Judas, signaling that Judas would be the one to betray Him. This moment is often interpreted as Jesus acknowledging
Judas' impending betrayal and instructing him to carry out his actions swiftly.
WILLFUL SIN VS SIN of the FLESH
Harmonizing Romans 6:6, 11 and 14
with
Romans 7
And the resolution to this Paradox is found in Romans 8:1,2. KJB
1 John
John 1:8, which says:
> "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
We know God makes a distinction between those who sin in ignorance or backsliding or make mistakes and feel horrible guilt whereby they go before the Lord in godly sorrow unto repentance and know by Faith they receive forgiveness.
2 Corinthians 7:10 in the King James Version of the Bible. The verse says, "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."
To sin willfully is to be in open minded defiance of God’s WORD. Psalm 19:13, Hebrews 10:26. Additionally living in willful sin there is no remorse Ephesians 4:16-19, Acts 3:17-19, 17:30-31. However, there is a sense of comfort or even pleasure in doing so. See Romans 1:18-24.
CENTERPIECE OF THIS CASE STUDY
CASE STUDY OF DON

Don, if you see this... we'll see you in heaven man. Thanks for helping me understand the Gospel đź’Ż
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. [Romans 10:9]

My Response:
You know I have to do a blog and video on this.. sad lesson that young man is so lost and shipwrecking so many by his damnable doctrine of demons of WORKS and losing salvation. Also that guy (preaching Luke 8:13) really does NOT understand what Luke 8:13 is saying. This of course is the KINGDOM Parable (Matthew 13) What Luke 8:13 is actually saying is these that believe do NOT have the Spirit of Christ in them (Romans 8:9) meaning they are fake Christians they are NOT truly saved because they HAVE NO ROOT and they say the believe but without ROOT their belief - faith is their feeble faith and it dies.
I will be doing a study on this Video and Blog it in a CASE STUDY.
Sadly, There is an incorrect understanding of the Kingdom Parables. Yes, Amen OSAS is solid biblical doctrine. However, the KEY here is understanding Salvation is BELIEVE that can only happen by the FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST and not our ability. Paul makes this clear in Romans 8:9, Galatians 2:16, 2:20. When we BELIEVE that Christ Died on the Cross for our sins according to the scriptures, He was Buried, and He Rose again the third day according to the scriptures WE ARE SAVED. PERIOD! NOTHING ELSE ADDED. In Luke 8:13 these are along with the other of the 4 Kingdom Parables (8 PARABLES total 4 who do NOT enter the Kingdom and the 4 who do... see Matthew 13) that do NOT enter the Kingdom. But rather they grow up with the wheat and are uprooted as tares. The key word here in Luke 8:13 is ROOT. Jesus Christ is that ROOT. See scriptures. Romans 8:9 tells us that IF we do not have that ROOT = THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN US WE ARE NONE OF HIS.
But ultimately, we do not know if Don will be there. The irony is the originator of this video doesn't realize that his misunderstanding of Romans 10:9 and how it harmonizes with Acts 2:21, Joel 2:32, Zechariah 13:9 And Romans 9:25-27 KJB and NOT 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8,9 KJB means that good ole Don most likely will be in the Tribulation. See my studies on the ABC Salvation plan is NOT the Gospel.
Only God knows IF Don is truly saved. But I surely DO NO SEE THE FRUIT OF IT. Read Matthew Chapter 7. Read what happened to Judas who was a member of that inner circle. And
John is very clear in 1 John 2:19 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible.
“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.”
@SalvationIsEasy-op2qs
If YD ever believed The Gospel he was IMMEDIATELY, PERMANENTLY and ETERNALLY saved. Period.
@vietrandy1
SalvationIsEasy: Absolutely YES... However the KEY WORD You used here is: IF ... People can fake it but only God knows their heart. And truly it is only the Spirit of Christ in us that Brings us to truly BELIEVE because it is BY THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST and not our faith. See Galatians 2:16, 2:20 KING JAMES BIBLE. THE perverted translations say FAITH IN JESUS AND FAITH OF. This preposition OF is huge when we understand it.
If you research the word ROOT you find in scripture this is JESUS CHRIST -. I will put this all together and blog this. WOW so glad you shared this Brother. That's why John writes they were among us but were NOT one of us.
The Axe is laid unto the root of the Trees
There are literally millions of FAKE pretenders calling themselves Christians just like the fake Jews. These all came from false conversions. We can't see a person's heart, only God knows for sure. But we can know them by their fruit. Speaking of this, I just read a comment on my Blog about Robert Breaker. Check this out quote: Robert Breaker, is lately begging people to give him money for big repairs on his house, he says you can take the mark of the beast and when you see Jesus coming just chop of your head or hand, he was deadly serious about it, so you can take the mark of the beast and still enter the kingdom. He uses the eternal books jasher enoch etc as sources and scripture, he has no clue who the one in Israel is, he is a Zionist !!..TDN
We see the verses so clear like in Matthew 7:7-28 when we really read these passages carefully we see that MANY will say look at all the good works I did for you Lord and Jesus will say, DEPART FROM ME I NEVER KNEW YOU. We know them by their fruits. If we really study Romans 8:9 THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN US - and if we do NOT have the SPIRIT of Christ IN US abiding in us which happens the moment we BELIEVE BY THE FAITH OF JESUS AND NOT OUR FAITH IN HIM BUT HIS GRACE HIS FAITH TO CALL US AND CONVICT US OF OUR CONDITION WE KNOW truly know that Jesus is really real and WE BELIEVE ... BELIVE in this true sense = truly KNOW spiritually know to repent (Godly sorrow works repentance) and to know him and what he did. AFTERWARDS we show that we are NEW CREATURES BORN AGAIN These FALSE CONVERSIONS make people say they are sorry for their sins and this is only an attrition but NOT True Contrition of a broken heart which is Godly SORROW that works repentance.
Most Likely, Don will get to apply Romans 10:9 in the Tribulation.

Here is the Transcript that the video narrator uses of some pastor: Below I will go into detail on why he’s wrong. He is reading in Luke 8:13 The Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13) The seed that fell on rocky ground.
Begin Quote: “turn me to Luke 8:13 the word of
4:01
God reads they on the Rock are they
4:03
which when they hear receive the word
4:04
with joy and these have no root which
4:06
for a while believe and in time of
4:08
Temptation fall away so notice they
4:11
receive the word with joy and these have
4:13
no root which for a while believe and in
4:15
time of Temptation Fall Away Now many
4:17
people will claim that these people
4:18
aren't real Believers but what does the
4:19
Lord Jesus Christ say he says which for
4:21
a while believe you have to understand
4:23
that it is impossible for God to lie so
4:25
these are real Believers but in time of
4:28
Temptation they fall away and they
4:30
believed for a while but all it takes is
4:32
one second of belief an instantaneous
4:34
moment of Faith to receive eternal life
4:36
and we see this we turn to John 524 and
4:38
the word of God reads verily verily I
4:40
say unto you he that heareth my word and
4:41
believeth on him that sent me hath
4:43
everlasting life and shall not come into
4:45
condemnation but is passed from Death
4:47
unto life notice what it says they have
4:49
everlasting life those that believe
4:50
shall not come into condemnation so they
4:52
can't lose salvation no matter what and
4:53
those in Luke 813 did believe so even if
4:55
they fall away they can't lose salvation
4:58
in the future and notice what else is
4:59
says but is passed from Death unto life
5:01
P being a past tense word shows that
5:04
salvation is instantaneous the very
5:05
moment you believe you have already
5:07
passed from death into life and these
5:08
people in Luke 813 they believed for a
5:10
while so they had passed from death into
5:11
life the very moment they believed and
5:13
they believed for a while so this shows
5:15
that they are saved but in time of
5:16
Temptation they fall away
5:19
[Music]
5:31
some of the most unloving self-righteous
5:34
people you know what I'm saying people
5:37
in free Grace I thought was my friends
5:38
they didn't even say a word to me they
5:41
even say a word to me when I started to
5:44
question it they just went to start
5:45
making hate videos and calling me a
5:47
demon so that tell me everything I need
5:50
to know about free Grace that tell me
5:52
everything I need to know
5:58
[Music]
6:06
so everybody wants to know why doesn't
6:08
Young D believe in Christianity anymore
6:10
well the list is very long and the
6:12
amount of information that I have
6:14
consumed over the course of the past
6:16
months as I've been actively
6:18
deconstructing really my deconstruction
6:20
started when God started to fail me
6:23
years ago I've been a Christian for 3
6:24
years
7:08
I'm trying to get out a very simple
7:10
thing people don't want to answer
7:12
questions because at the end of the day
7:14
God is real and people don't want to
7:16
acknowledge it
My Commentary
The false prophet (using God’s word) teacher is a wolf because they are incorrectly building a false narrative of HYPER GRACE to say that the Kingdom Parables are identifying saved persons who have backslidden, but what this false teacher is doing by using Luke 8:13 is saying a LOST PERSON can say they BELIEVE or even BELIEVE they BELIEVE BUT WITHOUT THE TRUE GODLY SORROW THAT WORKETH REPENTANCE WORKS ON THEIR HEART AND THEY HAVE JESUS CHRIST THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN THEM THEY ARE NONE OF HIS. ROMANS 8:9, 14, 17.
This is the only way for God’s word to fall into GOOD SOIL and BRING FORTH 100 FOLD.
See my studies on the Math of the Kingdom Parables:
Doing the Math on The Kingdom Parable of The Sower Matthew 13
My commentary on the perverse teaching of Luke 8:13:
FOCUS ON 3 WORDS:
SEED = God’s WORD - Know Doctrine in the Final Authority of the King James Bible and study it.
ROCK = HARD HEART. ROCK - Luke 8:13; STONY PLACES - Matthew 13:5 KJB = a Hardened HEART Note also in Matthew 13:5,6 Shallow Soil is mentioned which means depth that is comprehended is only man’s vain knowledge. The unregenerate mind verses the spiritual depth. The SPIRIT KNOWS the SOUL understands what the Spirit knows. See an essential study on understanding SOUL and Spirit.
CASE STUDY of when the CARNAL MIND OVERRIDES SCRIPTURE
The King James Bible gets Really Real about "Things which are NOT Seen"
Why does the King James Bible use and distinguish Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit? #Doctrine Matters
God will never allow His children to be accepted by this world
The main focus after one truly understands the background of the 8 Kingdom Parables in my study is now we will focus on the SEED (God’s word) that fell on STONY GROUND (the condition of the human heart that is HARD HEARTED See Pharaoh of Egypt and a multitude of study that I will not go into here for the sake of time) BUT BOTTOM LINE A HARD HEARTH IS NOT A HEART that is BROKEN AND CONTRITE that leads to repentance GODLY SORROW that can ONLY COME BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST.
ROOT Here is the study on Root:
ROOT in the King James Bible 43 times
Strong's Concordance 1 - 20 references
Strong's Concordance 21-40
Strong's Concordance 40-43
All references to root are spiritual in nature. According to the context All point to Jesus Christ and a few to Satan for example:
1 Tim 6:10
...love of money is the root of all evil:
Times the word ROOT refer specifically and directly to Jesus Christ
Rom 11:16
...lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
4491
Rom 11:17
...with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive...
4491
Rom 11:18
...if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
4491
Rom 15:12
...saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that...
Rev 5:5
...of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and...
*
Rev 22:16
...the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,...
First MENTION:
Sinning willfully
“Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;”—Deuteronomy 29:18
Hebrews Strongs H8328 Deep bottom, (FOUNDATION). 8330, 8332.
Ancient Hebrew Lexicon: 2883 HEEL.
To take root in soil Bottom Deep. Heel
Noted in AHL that the opposite of root is unroot which means to pull out - banishment.
Heel in scripture refers directly to JESUS CHRIST.
While the specific connection between the "heel" and Jesus Christ in Genesis 3:15 isn't directly spelled out in other scriptures, several passages in the New Testament support the interpretation of Jesus as the one who fulfills the prophecy. Here are some relevant KJV scriptures that align with this interpretation:
Romans 16:20: "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."
This verse refers to the ultimate defeat of Satan, echoing the promise in Genesis 3:15.
Hebrews 2:14: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"
This verse speaks of Jesus' mission to destroy the devil's power, aligning with the imagery of bruising the serpent's head.
1 John 3:8: "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."
This verse emphasizes that the purpose of Jesus' coming was to destroy the works of the devil.
John 12:31-33: "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die."
Here, Jesus speaks of His crucifixion, which would lead to the defeat of the "prince of this world" (understood as Satan).
These verses provide a broader biblical context for interpreting the "heel" in Genesis 3:15 as a reference to Jesus Christ and His ultimate victory over Satan.
