We are SAVED by GRACE, but we MUST LIVE a life of REPENTANCE!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker. 😊 💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: How We Ought to Live POST-SALVATION. We are dealing with an issue that is being spoon-fed in most modern apostate churches today: You can believe in Jesus and be saved, even if your life goes on just as it was before you became a Christian (this reeks of the false doctrine of "once saved/ always saved")!
