'Salvation Without Conversion?' - - - - - - - - - - - - - John Hagee "...believes that Jewish people do not need to be saved, since they are under a different covenant' (http://www.equip.org/free/DE405.htm). - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'Hagee is recognized as a fierce foe of anti-Semitism... 'While his bold stance against anti-Semitism is certainly praiseworthy, Hagee’s zealousness for the Jewish people and their cause has led him to commit a most serious doctrinal error — salvation for the Jews without conversion to Christianity. One newspaper account puts it this way: 'Trying to convert Jews is a “waste of time,” he [Hagee] said. . . . 'Everyone else, whether Buddhist or Baha’i, needs to believe in Jesus, he says. But not Jews. Jews already have a covenant with God that has never been replaced with Christianity, he says. '“The Jewish people have a relationship to God through the law of God as given through Moses,” Hagee said. “I believe that every Gentile person can only come to God through the cross of Christ. I believe that every Jewish person who lives in the light of the Torah, which is the word of God, has a relationship with God and will come to redemption. '“The law of Moses is sufficient enough to bring a person into the knowledge of God until God gives him a greater revelation. And God has not,” said Hagee . . .[9] '“There are right now Jewish people on this earth who have a powerful and special relationship with God,” declares Hagee in one of his books. “...Let us put an end to the Christian chatter that “all the Jews are lost” and can’t be in the will of God until they convert to Christianity! . . . there are a certain number of Jews in relationship with God right now...” [10] 'Hagee also affirms: “If God blinded the Jewish people to the identity of Jesus as Messiah, how could He send them to hell for not seeing what he had forbidden them to see?”[11] He continues, “All people will gain entrance into heaven through Christ. The question is one of timing.” [12] 'Such rhetoric raises some thorny questions. When Hagee says “all people will gain entrance into heaven through Christ,” he is either advocating universalism (literally all people — Jewish and Gentile — will be saved), or he believes that all Jews will be saved. In either case, both positions are in serious error, but the latter is more consistent with his other statements' (http://www.equip.org/free/DH005.htm).

3 | Jews saved without Christ? | John 14:6 | Hank | 82834 | ||
John Hagee's views on the Jews are truly amazing, but they are not particularly surprising or shocking in an age characterized by an over-kill of false teachers and preposterous doctrines. It is sad enough that there are so many teachers of the stripe of Hagee around. It is sadder still that modern media have made it possible for these toxic interlopers to invade the sanctum of our living rooms. My wife and I have never been in the habit of dumping rotten garbage in our home, and we are not inclined to welcome anyone else to do it either. Accordingly, when we chance upon a channel from which is spewing religious garbage thinly disguised as Gospel preaching, we waste not a second in availing ourselves of that wonderful protective device known as the remote control. There are few, very few, TV religious programs that we watch. Adrian Rogers, D. James Kennedy, Charles Stanley. That's about it. Services of our local church are broadcast regionally, both live and taped, several times each week. We watch those in the event that for some reason we missed attending the services in person or to refresh our minds on some point of the pastor's sermon. --Hank | ||||||
