The half-brother of Jesus issues a gospel call to his unconverted and unregenerate listeners who are marked by sinful and unrepentant behavior in James 4:7-10. James gives ten aorist imperatives which are not only a gospel call but are also characteristics of saving faith. This book will exposit these verses and demonstrate that James possessed deep theology on conversion which was manifestly influenced by Jesus Christ. This book will conclude with a warning from James on becoming teachers in the church, demonstrating that those who teach sacramental conversion and salvation should take heed and be humbled before the Lord.

Sacramental conversion is a false gospel which is ubiquitous in the Catholic, Lutheran, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental, Greek, Episcopalian, Anglican churches and more. The apostle Paul is erroneously proof-texted and caricatured as teaching conversion, regeneration, and salvation by sacraments while Biblical consideration of his pre-conversion life as a ritualistic Jewish Pharisee is neglected. This book will explain prominent Jewish ceremonial rituals and observances, demonstrate their corruption during Paul's life, and show Paul's condemnation of sacramental conversion. We'll see that Paul responded to, taught, and proclaimed the reconciling gospel call of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
