We are told that anybody who does not stand true to this doctrine that Christ Himself, God's Son, is come in the flesh to save people, that He died and rose again -- anyone who does not receive that doctrine does not have God. He is not a Christian. He is a Hell-bound, wicked sinner. The curse of God is upon him. No Christian should ever go to hear any such man preach. No Christian should ever give a penny to his support. Such a man should not even be entertained in your home. You should never bid him Godspeed. To support him, to lend your encouragement, to give him fellowship, is to be a partaker of his wicked deeds in damning souls by denying the true Gospel. - John R. Rice [Great Truths for Soul Winners, pg. 130]
No Christian should ever support or encourage or receive to his home a modernist preacher, one who does not believe the Bible and who has not trusted in the Christ of the Bible, the virgin-born Son of God who died for our sins and rose bodily from the grave and ascended to Heaven and is coming again. One who does not believe this Gospel is not a Christian and is not fit to preach. - John R. Rice [Great Truths for Soul Winners, pg. 130-131]
The first essential thing about preaching is that it is to be Gospel preaching, true to the blood, true to the Bible teaching of salvation by faith in Christ who died an atoning death and rose from the grave to be our Saviour. Oh, beloved preachers, preach Christ and His blood and His salvation freely offered to dying sinners! - John R. Rice [Great Truths for Soul Winners, pg. 131]
In every church in the land where there are sincere Christians they should immediately oust any preacher who does not preach the Gospel of salvation by the blood. If they cannot oust the preacher, they should themselves leave and never give another penny to the support of such a church and such a modernist, unbelieving infidel. - John R. Rice [Great Truths for Soul Winners, pg. 131]
One never has to sell out the Gospel in order to get people to hear it. People never have to betray Christ and His great standards in order to get more people saved. - John R. Rice [I Am a Fundamentalist, pg. 146]
It is never right to do wrong in order to get to do good. The Bible plan is still right that Christians should not yoke up together with unbelievers. - John R. Rice [I Am a Fundamentalist, pg. 146]
Jesus Himself also said, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life" (John 3:36). When you trusted Jesus Christ, He saved you. I will pray for you that you will believe God and quit depending on your feelings and emotions. It would be wrong for me to be praying for God to give you the kind of feeling you want. That is not the way we are to know we are saved. We know we are saved because God said it and we have faith to believe it. Faith takes God's Word as true and relies upon it. ― Dr. Rice, Here Are More Questions
