What is usually accepted as a Romans 10:9-10 type of “easy believism” in the IFB, SBC, and AG, used to just be called antinomianism (anti-lawism). Today its called “the gospel” or “the plan of salvation” interchangeably with the “Romans Road to Salvation.” The idea is that keeping the Ten Commandments plays absolutely no role at all in salvation or the life of a blood bought child of God. One of the key distinctives of Wesleyan-holiness theology is that of preaching against antinomianism. This cheap grace, free grace baptistic salvation message, also plays into an idea of “once saved, always saved,” “sealing,” and “keeping” which often results in staying addicted to porno and other vices which exclude souls from the kingdom of God. They say, “My past, present, and future sins are forgiven.” Their future sins–which leaves these deceived souls with the final outcome that no dramatic ongoing change of lifestyle is part of the package of a born again believer. Even Church of God preachers have been deceived by it, which has led them to mix it with the prosperity gospel, and has resulted in tremendous amounts of clergy sexual abuse, because sexual sin has been trivialized, declared to be always “under the blood” of Jesus, nullified, and without any force of condemnation towards the believer. But in the official sense–denominations like the Bible Methodist Church, Church of God, the Free Will Baptist Church, the Southern Methodist Church, Church of the Nazarene, and Church of Christ should be agreed about what Jesse is teaching here: conditional security.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
–1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJV)–

By this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
–1 John 2:3-4 (NKJV)–
