Denying a Jerusalem Post story that said he had embraced a “dual covenant” theology, Virginia evangelist Jerry Falwell said March 1 that he believes all people, including Jews, “must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ in order to enter heaven.”
“I do not follow this teaching of ‘dual covenant’ theology and I believe it runs counter to the gospel,” the Lynchburg pastor said in a statement posted on www.falwell.com. “I have been on record all 54 years of my ministry as being opposed to ‘dual covenant’ theology.”
