So many preachers are preaching a gospel of works, but the messages are so subtle, we can be easily fooled if we do not know Scripture. I have listened to many preachers over the years. Because I only listen to them occasionally I miss other sermons they give and do not realize they are preaching a works based salvation. I also have tended to assume when someone is a little off, that they mean what I believe, interpreting what they say in terms of my own convictions rather than what they really say.
Ray Comfort and Paul Washer are preaching mixed messages, of trust Christ and sin no more, for salvation. As believers when we are made into a new creation, God works in us in a continual cleansing, but our good works after salvation do not save us, they are a result of God's grace working in us.
We must evaluate all that is said by anyone, seeking the word to make sure they have led in the right direction, toward Christ and away from self effort.
