"Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people." Jude 1:3 NLT
There's this subtle deception that has crept into the body of Christ and it's really gaining ground wherein a saint's faith is shifted from the finished work of Christ on the cross to mammon's prescribed ways of salvation.
While I am not against raising fund for whatever need the church has, it is unscriptural to tie salvation to purchasing power.
When men are told to pay certain amount for protection from God or salvation from certain evil and those who can't afford that are hopeless, then Christ's sacrifice is made useless and everyone should not waste time serving a god that must be paid for Salvation and go get money rather.
O comrade, your salvation from sin and all it's consequences is secured as long as your faith in Christ is firm. Let no man bring you under the grip of fear. The enemy always wants us to lose our faith in the finished work of Christ, fight for it; it's been paid for. Salvation is yours ONLY by faith.
Shalom.
