Lies That Are Veiled In Truth:

For whosoever shall keep the whole law,
 and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also,
 Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, 
yet if thou kill, thou art become a 
transgressor of the law.
James 2:10-11 

     In Redding, California there is a school, The School of the Supernatural, a portion of the Bethel Church. this School, and I have spoken to many of their students, teach that a person can become perfect in this world and be without sin. The teaching that heaven will come down to earth now and all who believe will have the affects of this kingdom, sinless, now in the present. First, This Church teaches that Jesus was born again. Really, Jesus was sinful? Bill Johnson, the head pastor of the Church asks: Did you know Jesus was born again? I asked the first service, and they said, "no", but I'll show you it's in the Bible. He had to be, He became sin." (T.3:48-4:55 of this video*1,17). Is our salvation founded on a "man" a sinful man that needed to be born again? Does not the Bible teach that Jesus is God, come in the flesh? Was not Jesus our High Priest the One who offered Himself as the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world? Did not Jesus come to save the lost, the sinful? If so how could a sinful person be the propitiation for sin if that person was also in need of rebirth, to have his sin removed? Is this the Savior God sent to earth? This sounds more like the teaching of Arius, Jehovah Witnesses, who teach that Jesus was not God but another god. 
     Salvation, Redemption, is the reason why the work of Jesus on the cross who paid the debt of sin, death, and by His death on the cross and the justice of God satisfied, now by the power of Himself who is God can apply that payment to all who will believe upon Him. Not upon a sinful man who needed to be reborn but God/Man hypostatically joined in One Person to have the will of God, the Love of God, to be yours; if you have Authentic Christian Faith. 
     The Law was given to us, to all, no matter who you are, what station in life you have, and never alters, abides eternal. The Law convicts us of sin and we must not palliate our shortcomings, our sinfulness, and we must come to recognizes that we  must be reborn, not Jesus, we: and that our hope in the cross that God, Jesus Christ, faced this tragedy and took on the sin of the world should cause us to rid ourselves that in any way while on this earth a person can be right with God through obedience. Who can ever obey God to absolute perfection? It is a nare to imagine that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do: for the purpose of God is to make us one with Himself. Christian perfection is not, and never can be, human perfection. Christian perfection, one that is Authentic, is the perfection of a relationship to God and this is manifested in our self even amid the various trials of this life. We are called to live in a perfect relation to God but we cannot do this of ourselves, we are still imperfect until we go to heaven. We are not the show room of God so that He is altering to be such a show-room, no He is getting you and me to the place where He can use us. 
     The false teaching that is promugated in these liberal Churches, although often they have Doctrinal statements that have Bible underpinnings, they use this to hide their false teaching. 
      Salvation, Redemption, comes to a person who believes upon Jesus and the Bible teaches us that Jesus is God (John 1:1) so we can be assured that when we Authentically believe we are saved, our redemption occurs and we have a home waiting for us in heaven when Jesus returns for His bride. Do not be misled! Do no fall for any other teaching! It is God who saves and our Savior is Jesus Christ and that means that Jesus is God. Will you put you faith, turn your faith into Authentic Christian Faith and leave false teaching? 

Behold, I am against them that prophesy
     false dreams, saith the LORD, and do 
tell them, and cause My people to err by 
    their lies, and by their lightness (vain boasting):
yet I sent them not, nor commanded them:
     therefore they shall not profit this peopel
at all, saith the LORD.
                 Jeremiah 23:32

Turn to the simple Truth of Scripture
