Chuck smith taught you can lose your salvation. So that alone means he doesn’t teach the plain and simple Gospel. Chuck Smith is decidedly Lordship Salvation in his teachings, so whether that makes him a heretic or not, I don’t know. It does mean that he doesn’t teach the true Gospel. Chuck Smith used to terrify me when he would talk about the Lord leaving King Saul and how if we leave the Lord, the Lord will leave us.
Muhammad, thank you for your post, I believe that 2 Sam 7 answers that question regarding the eternal aspect of the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant.
12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 15 but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
