We are taught in the Word of God that we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. By doing so, we can get in on the plan of God.

If he is that kind of preacher, he ought to get converted or quit the ministry. Salvation is more than going to heaven when we die.
Salvation is big and glorious, and is meant to be something big and expansive right here and now.
We are to shine as luminaries of the firmament, as the stars and the planets shining in the dark heavens. We are to shine for the glory of God and make Christ known.

It is God's will that every local church, no matter what denomination or affiliation, be a dynamic powerhouse of activity and expansion by the Holy Spirit to the ends of the earth.
