According to David J. Stewart, of the heretical www.jesus-is-savior.com fame, all you need in order to be saved is faith in Jesus. You do not need to repent, or to cease from your sinful lifestyle, or to give up worldly living. David believes that ceasing from your sins is "works salvation." Clearly David has not paid very close attention to the words of Jesus or that of His apostles. He erroneously thinks and believes that all you have to do is have faith in Jesus and you will be saved, even if you continue living like the Devil for the rest of your life. Sorry, David, but that is a false gospel. Maybe you should try reading 1 John 3:4-10.
David protests too much, which reveals that he has personal sin in his life that he has not yet dealt with. Rather than deal with it, as Romans 8:13 commands him, he is attempting to make excuses for it and justify it with false teachings by twisting the Scriptures. How many times did Jesus tell people to, "Go, and sin no more"? Perhaps David would like to read James 2:14-26. Faith in and of itself, by itself, all alone, is useless, worthless, in vain, and dead. What kind of "works" is James talking about here, David? What kind of "work" did Abraham perform when he offered Isaac up as a sacrifice? It is clearly not the Law, because the Law would not exist for about another 400 years. It is clearly not talking about good deeds, which we were created for and are a result of salvation. How would offering your own son as a sacrifice be a "good deed"? These kinds of works go hand-in-hand with faith in order to perfect and complete it. They are inseparable from faith.
David says, "Carefully notice in Mark 1:15 that Jesus didn't say 'repent and turn from your sins.' No, Jesus clearly stated, 'repent and believe in the Gospel.'" David, you are aware that the word "repent" means to turn from your sins and turn to God, right? It requires doing an about-face, a 180° turn. Even the Merriam-Webster definition states, "to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one's life." Your argument is ridiculous and nonsensical. How do you not know what the word "repent" means after all these years?
Furthermore, if Jesus is not Lord of your life, then He is not Saviour of your life. It is that simple. He cannot be one without being the other. The two concepts are interrelated. Hence why He is called the "Lord Jesus." Jesus will not save those whom He cannot control; whom He is not Lord over. You cannot accept Him as your Saviour but reject Him as your Lord. That is complete and utter nonsense. Only someone in rebellion would attempt such a ridiculous argument.
David suffers from a lot of anger and hatred, and mountains-full of false teachings and heretical beliefs. He has unrepented sin in his life that is affecting his judgment and clouding his discernment and understanding. So many of his writings are laughable, like that of his KJV-Onlyism. David has no godly discernment. Whatever he reads, regardless who claims it, he believes.
David believes that Demas and Simon the magician were born-again believers. Sorry, David, but you might want to try reading God's Word a little more carefully. Demas forsook Paul because he was in love with this world. What does 1 John 2:15 say? "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." How about 1 John 2:19? "They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us." Clearly David's beliefs contradict that of the Bible.
David J. Stewart's damnable heresy says that you can be saved without ever changing anything about your life. He does not understand the Gospel. As John Owen has said, "Obedient faith is that which saves." If you do not believe me, simply read John 3:36: "He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on Him." David's writings are extremely dangerous.
