-RELIGION says that Salvation is based on what I DO or DON'T DO!
-THE GOSPEL says that Salvation is based on what JESUS HAS ALREADY DONE!
ISLAM vs. THE GOSPEL… DIFFERENT FOUNDATIONS!
-The Quran vs. The Bible
-We believe The Bible is the "INSPIRED" WORD OF GOD! (2 Timothy 3:16)
ISLAM vs. THE GOSPEL… DIFFERENT THEOLOGY!
-One is FEAR-DRIVEN and the other is LOVE-DRIVEN!
-One leads to SLAVERY and the other leads to FREEDOM!
ISLAM vs. THE GOSPEL… DIFFERENT GOSPEL!
-One is totally based on YOUR WORKS (Then HOPE for the best…) and the other is totally/completely based on the WORK that JESUS HAS ALREADY DONE! (Ephesians 2:8-9)
JESUS PLUS NOTHING… FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE!
