Salvation is by grace through faith

It starts out with "works salvation". This is false doctrine this is false Gospel. No one except Jesus can ever be good enough for heaven. We are all born sinners. It doesn't matter how you dress or never cuss in your life if you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior you will never be godly enough to God to heaven bc you denied Jesus! Never ever! Jesus loves you and wants you to believe in Him. He will cleanse your sins. You don't have to be good for him. Come to Him as you are, Christ will help you love for him Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.Now Sam does eventually mention grace. So that is good. Don't want to spoil the movie though.

Well done

Rock 'n roller Samuel Allen (Max Ehrich) is in jail, the result of an anger-filled youth and hatred toward organized religion have led him down a dark road of rebellion. Yet in a moment of what can only be divine intervention, a judge dismisses the drug charges against him as long as Samuel speaks to local schools and churches about the dangers of drugs.Now that he's been given a second chance, Samuel starts to follow in his father's footsteps, overcoming the influence of a powerful church leader with a personal vendetta against Samuel's father Pastor Joe (Gary Weeks). Then, he decides to become a preacher himself, despite the challenge, and wins the heart of Julie (Katelyn Nacon).Directed and written by Jeffrey A. Smith, who also plays Pastor Clayborn, this 60s set faith-based movie doesn't shy away from the fact that staying on the right side is filled with temptation. Samuel Allen is the founder of Dream Church and really did walk the path shown in Southern Gospel. There's even a tragic drowning, the idea that electric guitars are tools of Satan and how the elders of the church fight more to keep their power than to help save sinners.I'm not a lover of too many faith-based movies -- outside of the films of Ron Ormond and Donald W. Thompson -- but even I can recognize the lessons in this movie.
