Sold Their Souls to Satan? They Didn't Need To!
One of the biggest heresies today is that in order to go to Hell, you need to sign a contract with the Devil. But here's the truth, unsaved people don't have to sell their soul to the Devil... they ALREADY belonged to Satan in the first place! That is every member of the Illuminati, Church of Satan, Communist Party, Freemasons, Jesuit Order, Opus Dei, etc. are just as lost as every common criminal that runs loose and can still be saved only if they repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. How can that be said? For one the Bible declares the fall of man in Romans 3:10 by saying, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one." That is man is already by nature not basically good and sinful.
The moment a person has sinned, innocence is forfeited and the person is bound to Satan. Babies can't go to Hell because they have not sinned but by the moment a person sins like as early as three or four, Satan already has owned that person. James 2:10-11 is clear that it only takes ONE SIN for a person to go to Hell and it takes only that event to cause a person to already belong to Satan in the first place. Adam and Eve only needed to eat of the Tree of Knowledge to forfeit their fellowship with God and for sin to enter the world. Cain didn't need to murder Abel to be lost - he murdered Abel because he was lost!
I believe that Satan created the "sell your soul scam" as a method to lock people to him and to give them a false notion of helplessness and another reason to fool the self-righteous crowd. The person who went to Hell thought he was going to Heaven with his works salvation doctrine and thought Satan can't get him since he didn't sign the contract only to discover he was just as lost anyway. In fact, that's what makes the Tragedy of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlow so erroneous is that Dr. Faustus could be saved if he repented of him making a deal with the Devil. Every lost sinner is bound to Satan nonetheless and no, no Christian can ever sell their soul to the Devil even under pressure because they have power over sin by God's grace and two, they have the perseverance of the saints.
