No, We Cannot Add Even a Little Bit of Works to the Gospel Message. Here’s Why.

"A little leaven leavens the whole lump." -- Galatians 5:9 (NKJV) I don't doubt that many, if not most professing Christians, will accuse me and others like me, who are adamant about the true Biblical doctrine of Eternal Security, of enabling sin and carnality in Christ's church.
