After repeated attempts of trying to contact Andy Woods in regards to his false teachings, I'm posting this so others can be warned against his intentional false teachings of Once Saved Always Saved and how he twists scripture to give those who claim to be believers a false assurance.
Andy Woods (he insists in being called "Dr" due to his PhD - just as the Nicolaitans liked lording the cast system over their underlings) is an unapologetic false teacher that is INTENTIONALLY giving false assurances to the disobedient and rebellious that they will be raptured and INTENTIONALLY twists scripture to "prove" his false Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) demonic doctrine. Andy woods is also an attorney (something he makes sure his audience knows) so he KNOWS about rules of evidence and making false accusations against people and he still INTENTIONALLY does so to promote his false doctrines.
Here is one of the prophecy conferences where he taught what I am writing about in this post. Although you can watch the entire video, Start the video at 32:55 minutes into his talk to show his false teaching. The false teaching itself starts at minute 34:50 although starting it earlier you get the full context of this heretical teaching,
35:00 - 35:15 Andy Woods alludes that Lot was backslidden because he sat at the city gate showing that he had some sort of "position of authority"
Does this mean any Christian involved in politics or being the salt and light trying to keep biblical values in their communities (even sodomite affirming cities like San Francisco) are backsliders or compromisers? Lot may have been using his position trying to bring a sembelence of faith in Yahweh to his community - after all, his daughters were engaged to men in sodom. To imply Lot was a backslider because he was involved in his community os stating Christians who do so are automatically compromisers. This is a false accusation against Lot. In Genesis 14:14-17, Abraham saved Lot and all the people and possessions after they had been captive and the king of sodom went to meet them. It could be the king had made Lot a judge in sodom in gratitude for this.
35:15 - 35:22 So because Lot offered his virgin daughters instead of the angels to the sodomite crowd apparently makes him a compromiser / backslider?
Lot knew very well that the sodomites would reject his daughters because they were, after all, sodomites and wanted what they believed to be men (the angels)
In the middle east, when visitors are under the roof of the home, the visitors are protected at all costs - even to the cost of the home they are in. To protect his guests at all cost is what Lot was doing. Another example of this is when the Levite priest was invited into a home, the home owner gave his own virgin daughter to the townsmen (and the Levite his concubine) to protect the Levite priest. (Judges 19:16-30)
Judges 19
20 And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
22 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Also Woods does not mention the times Abraham allows his wife Sarah to be taken by kings (by claiming she was his sister) in order to save his own neck. Yahweh stepped in to preserve Sarah from those kings. (Genesis 12 is one account)
35:23-35:00 Woods claims "Lot woke up and got serious about spiritual things" and "his inlaws and relatives "thought he was jesting" and woods goes on to say that Lot had "lost all spiritual credibility" with his family.
Bible does not mention Lot's in-laws in regards to sodom - Lot was married before he went to sodom. The angels only mentioned a son in law, sons, and daughters. The only ones who mocked Lot about the impending judgment mentioned were Lot's sons in law. They were not mocking him for his newfound seriousness of spiritual things as Andy Woods claims.
35:35 - 36:00 Woods goes on to say the Story of Lot ends by Lot having an incestual relationship with his daughters - and was a drunk. Woods intentionally brings this event up BEFORE speaking about Lot's rescue from sodom even though it happened AFTER it - and Woods was very deceptive and LIED about how the events happened.
The truth is that after Lot and his daughters were safely rescued (Lot's wife had looked back and became a pillar of salt) that Lot's daughters thought they were the only ones left on earth and wanted to preserve the line of their father so they got him drunk (two nights in a row) and each of them had relations with their father (they raped him) and the bible CLEARLY states Lot did not know what they had done to him. This was NOT an "incestuous relationship" as Andy Woods LIES about - it was two daughters who thought they were the only people left on earth trying to repopulate the earth and each of them having, unknowing to Lot, a one time sexual encounter with their father. To state this was anything more is an intentinal LIE and is being used to support the OSAS false doctrine as well as giving false assurance that even "carnal" or "backsliding" people who claim to be Crhstians will be raptured. Andy Woods KNOWS this is a lie and yet he still teaches it. Also note: this was before The Law was given to Moses to write down and nothing was in the bible against incestuous relationships at this time - in fact, Abraham had married his half sister Sarah.
Genesis 19
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
Where does this say it was an incestuous relationship? It was two daughters getting their father drunk and sleeping with him - something he was not aware of happening. If anything, Lot was a rape victim and is blameless in this. It was Yahweh's plan, however, since Ruth was a Moabite and she was the mother of Obed, the father of Jesse, the father of King David (and is in the line of Messiah Yeshua)
36:00 - 36:45 Woods said he would not have thought Lot was a believer if the new testament had not called him a righteous man - implying that all the events he claimed happened happened as he had falsely said they happened. He said this proves that Lot was a "backslidden believer" or a "carnal christian" because "while he was positionally right before God, his lifestyle did not match it"
36:45-36:59 Woods goes on to say even though Lot "in his carnality" because he was "one of God's people" had to "be removed before the judgment hit"
37:00- 39:15 Implies because the angel told Lot that he 'could NOT do anything' (as opposed to 'I will not do anything') until Lot was removed. Woods claims this is because Lot, although "carnal", HAD TO be safe in Zoar before the angel could do anything.
Woods claim that carnal christians have to be safely removed before judgment because the angel COULD NOT do something is making a false assertion that the angel did not have specific instructions to get Lot to safety before he brought the judgment - it was NOT the angels call to bring judgment before Lot ws safe and so the angel was repeating the instruction he had received to Lot.
Woods also conveniently forgets that Abraham had made a bargain with Yahweh over the destruction of sodom (Genesis 18:22-33). While Abraham thought he had saved the cities because he assumed there had to be ten righteous, his intention was to save Lot and Lot's family so even if Lot was "carnal" or ""backslidden" which scripture contradicts those assertions, Lot would still have been saved for Abraham's sake. In fact, the bible clearly says Lot was righteous and gives NO indication that Lot was carnal or backslidden as Andy Woods alleges. In fact, scripture clearly says Lot was vexed in his soul because of sodom's unlawful deeds - Andy Woods has maligned Lot and KNOWINGLY has twisted scripture to fit his demonic agenda of assuring people they do not have to follow Messiah Yeshua to be saved or raptured.
2 Peter 2
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Messiah Yeshua clearly states that He will reject those who are "doing things for Him" if they are not obeying the father. So if someone is a "backslider" or "carnal christian" who is not doing things for Him and obviously is not obeying Him - why would they be raptured when Yeshua returns for His followers when Messiah Yeshua will reject them at the judgment???

Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
