A religious individual with the title of “prophet” stated that Heaven can only be accessed through the Holy Spirit and our maintenance of “soul purity” in conjunction with our salvation. Is this true?

This is another rendition of the false doctrine of “Christian Perfectionism” or “Sinless Christianity;” therefore, be aware of Satan’s tactics to deceive and stymie your daily sanctification via the Holy Spirit.

Understand that “soul purity” is not achievable in a body corrupted by the Adamic curse (Romans 5:12); this, before or subsequent salvation by faith in Jesus as Messiah; therefore, Jesus kept the law for us in divine “purity” and His sinless perfection is gifted-imputed into our life by faith in Jesus as our Messiah and we are subsequently declared “not guilty” by the Father via covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12); this, as a result of the Father’s grace, mercy, compassion and NOT in accordance with or the result of anything we have done to earn it, why?….because we cannot earn righteous perfection in a body condemned to death in sin; if self-righteousness were possible, Jesus suffered needlessly (Galatians 2:21).

If Heaven was contingent upon our “soul purity” via self-righteousness…we would all be en route to the “second death” in Hell without hope.
