First Baptist Church - Sevierville

Been going for 8 weeks and sermons have been ok but started to not like the gospel message. To be saved you need to repent of your sins and make Jesus Lord of your life....Ok but repent means to change your mind...period. Change your mind about what is the question. Jesus said if you dont believe who I am you will die in your sins. Change your mind about who Jesus is. "Not by works..." Jesus paid the price, "It is finished." ...Jesus said on the cross. You only have to believe to be saved. Sanctification, How you live, is between you and Jesus. How we live is just a reflection on our maturity. Make Jesus Lord of your life? That is lordship salvation. That Not in the Bible.

Also went to church there on October 8th day after Israel was attacked by HAMAS and not a word from any of the pastors. I listened to the sermon on the 22nd and again they said nothing and the news was far worse the atrocities. I think they believe in Replacement theology... the Church has replaced Israel. All the promises God gave to Israel in the OT are now given to the Church because the Jews rejected Jesus. I believe this theology is anti semitic. I did send a letter asking them what did they believe about Israel...Heard nothing. This ignoring Israel was the last straw for us.
