Faust New Book Brings Healing, Motivation to People of Faith

Los Angeles) ——- For thousands of years an important controversy has raged on within Christianity. Is a person's relationship with God eternally secure or can a person lose his or her salvation?

"Christianity is greatly divided between those who think salvation can be lost and those who think we are eternally secure with no threat of chastisement. And these two have clashed,' says Pastor J. D. Faust, pastor of Kingdom Baptist Church in Venus, Texas. "Truly, the truth is on both sides. Each side has a portion of the truth,' says Faust.

To address this controversy and to bring healing to those torn on this issue, Faust has written a book that is now the buzz of the Christian community—"The Rod: Will God Spare It? An Exhaustive Study of Temporary Punishment for Unfaithful Christians at the Judgment Seat and During the Millennial Kingdom.'

With the heart of a pastor and the urgency of a biblical prophet, Faust's message is clear: Believer take heed! Your salvation is secure in the love of God, but unfaithfulness will lead to loss of rewards on Judgment Day! According to Faust, these complementary truths allow people to rest assured that their salvation is secure while acknowledging the real possibility of losing rewards for slothful behavior.

"My book will help Christians by uniting those who have adopted unbiblical extremes on both sides,' says Faust. The truths of Faust's message have been revolutionary for many people of faith.

"I have received some letters from preachers who have told me that this truth has given them the light they have been looking for,' says Faust. "They knew there were passages which promised eternal security, yet they also knew of the warnings.'

The impact of Faust's book has been both liberating and motivating.

"‘The Rod' has helped me to rest in Christ, knowing that my eternity and God's unconditional love are secure,' says one person. "So far it has had a huge impact on my life.'

"This teaching about the Judgment Seat of Christ and a believer's responsibility before his Master and Lord has produced in me an inward purity and longing for His Kingdom such as I have not experienced in my Christian walk up to this point,' says another.

Religious leaders are recommending Faust's book as a ‘must-read.'

"Everyone that names the name of Christ would do well to take heed of what Pastor Faust has written,' says missionary John Melancon.

"The Rod: Will God Spare It?' $18, (458 pages) is published by Schoettle Publishing Co.
