"Carlton Pearson is a high profile religious leader, recording artist and political aspirant who is now entangled in a doctrinal controversy of his own creation. Previously deeply allied and involved in the Word of Faith Charismatic throng, he has alienated himself from many in that system, not by his rejection of the charismatic, but by his championing of a different gospel. This gospel is his own version of the "Wider Mercy Doctrine", Universalism or, as he terms it, the "Gospel of Inclusion."
"THE "GOSPEL OF INCLUSION"
What is so controversial about his new gospel? This is what Pearson believes:
A. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection paid the price for all of humanity to have eternal life in heaven, without any requirement to repent of sins and receive salvation.
B. Belief in Jesus Christ, is not necessary for a person to go to heaven. Salvation is unconditional, granted by the grace of God to every human being.
C. It is presumed that all of humanity will have its destiny in heaven, whether they realize it or not.
D. All of humanity will go to heaven regardless of their religious affiliation, including those who believe in false religions or adopt any other form of religious persuasion, or who have no religious persuasion.
E. Only those who have "tasted of the fruits" of real intimacy with Christ and have "intentionally and consciously rejected" the grace of God will spend eternity separated from God.
F. There are persons in some type of hell, but the emphasis is "to get away from the picture of an angry, intolerant God. I don't see God that bitter."

QUESTION: SO, If Jesus died for all the sins of the world, does this mean that THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY, AND THE INDIFFERENT will be saved?... which means that ALL sinful people who practice SIN of the world, the unbelieving, and defiled, have nothing to worry about, because they all will be saved and go to heaven, WITHOUT REPENTANCE OF THEIR SINS?...
Is this doctrine hersesy to the highest degree, or is this a spiritually based biblical truth according to scripture and what God teaches in His Word?
Yes, this teaching is a heresy of the first order. Jesus came to earth for the Jew first and the gentiles second-Paul's earthly work was to bring the gentiles to Jesus. Christ's death on the cross made it possible for all of humanity to come to his Father .BUT, in John chapter 14 verse 6 Jesus said " I am the way , and the life; no one comes to the father , but by me." And to come to the Father through Jesus you have to accept Jesus' atoning sacrifice, if they do not they are lost .
Itasca, you are totally correct! This is hersey teaching as Paul says the teachings of demons.
And its a shame for Carlton Pearson, who is a false prophet, preacher, teacher, or anyone for that matter, who has been rasied to believe in the WHOLE Word of God, and then to turn aside into demonic teachings as this.
This kind of false teaching is crucifying Jesus all over again as the writer speaks in Hebrews chapter 6. This false doctrine of Inclusion is leading people astray. The only inclusion that God speaks about is HIS GRACE AND SALLVATION. Everyone is invited and included to come to the throne of grace for redemption to be born again by accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior for the remission of their sins.
For a person to believe that everybody is going to heaven without repentance of their sins, and receiving Jesus Christ suffering death on the cross for the remission of their sins, is believing a domonic teaching of the devil. And the inclusion of theis dfalse doctrine is NOT IN THE SCRITPURES. It is a lie from the penthosue of hell!
Hell is a real place and heaven is a real place, and ONLY those who believe and have received the REAL GOSPEL the TRUE GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ in their hearts, and have TURNED AWAY from their wicked sinful ways will enter into heaven.
Revelation chapter 21, tells us that all those who practice sins, the unbelieving, whoremongers, homosexuals, murderers, ALL those who practice or believe in witchcraft, false prophets, and false teachers, and ALL LIARS will have thier place in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.
So if the Word of God is a truth, what makes the so-called gospel of Inclusion a lie? Or else, if the Word of God is a lie, what make the gospel of Inclusion a truth?
