@16-17 min. on the imputed righteousness of Jesus; I cannot agree that this righteousness is the obedience to the law. Adam did not ever have the law to break, in order to set up the need for Jesus to obey the law to account us righteous. The covenant of works sets up several false assumptions not grounded in the Bible.

But he answers his question in Matthew 19. So, what're you going on about?

On repentance, we have long been up against the Reformed concept of regeneration preceding faith and repentance. Every time that I hear this preached that regeneration is loaded with the responsibilities of everything that is to be accomplished in sanctification. And the statement is always made, "You cannot separate sanctification from justification.". The regeneration is always turned into the guillotine of lordship demands.

WHERE in the Sermon on the Mount does Jesus state that no one has kept or can keep the law? I don't see it. I think that you are attempting to insert an evangelical message into it. But it is not there.

WAIT! THE ENTIRE STATEMENT WAS WRONG, NOT ONLY THE LAST PART.

Our FatherGod and Lord Jesus only recognize born again/John 3:3 Christ followers, Transformed from death (inherited sin-nature) to LIFE in Christ on earth to enter Holy Kingdom Life in Heaven!!! There are NO man-made religious denominations in Heaven!!! Only born again Christ followers are Rapture/HeavenBound!!! It’s just that simple!!!!!!!😍 ⚓️⚓️⚓️

I feel that there is a duality to this because I noticed that in my testimony that i said God saved me out of my atheism. Maybe 99.9% God but 0.1% is due to faith? I recognise we have a corrupted nature so that would also mean we have a corrupted free will.

You guys too nice, obviously, from these quotes fro jmac, and many more, not included here, he is a works salvationist, period.

You guys are cheap and obtuse.

Yall are sooo clear and distinct, something that is hard to find! Thank you for truth in love.

Good but I liked it better without the background music

Great vid! Colossians 2 mentions a circumcision made without hands. Would you recognize this as regeneration?

I think even in your example of the greatest commandment, guys like Doug Wilson would obviously agree with you. 100%. We cannot love God 100% because we are sinners saved by the grace of Christ alone, and we receive that through faith. However, we are still called to obey, and Christ's grace covers our failings. We confess when we fail, and the grace and forgiveness of Christ covers our failings. I struggle more with you guys because I wonder how you would approach someone who says they don't want to pray or read their Bible, but calls themselves a Christian. You then have two options: On the one hand, you would have to say that their lack of desire to pray and read the Bible is then evidence that they are not born again; on the other hand, your response would be that they should still read the Bible and pray (and the other things that the Bible commands us to do), regardless of what they "feel." In the former instance, you are then going to cause people to despair because they will constantly live a life where they question their salvation because they don't always feel compelled to do these commands of Scripture and thus, according to your logic, they are not truly born again. In the latter instance, which is how I believe you would counsel someone asking this question, you are therefore using the same logic as Doug Wilson; that is, we are commanded by God to do X, Y, and Z, so we ought to do those things. These things do not save us, but they do nourish our faith and, by doing the good works that He gave us the new birth to actually do (Eph. 2:10), this obedience is God's very fuel in our lives to cause us to persevere. We don't persevere or grow in personal righteousness by sitting on our hands; we all know that we have to actually obey regardless of how we feel. Furthermore, you guys should actually define "federal vision theology" (which you might have, but I don't listen to much of your guys' content), because FV is very much a "boogeyman" phrase that most people can't actually define. From my understanding and learning about it, the Federal Vision was the title of a conference back in 2002, and one of the aims of the conference was to advocate for using biblical language the way that the Bible uses it, rather than overcomplicating things or, dare I say, distorting Scripture through our own well-established systematic theology. This is why Doug can say that "continuing in God's kindness" (Rom. 11:22) is contingent on obedience; because it's exactly what the text says. If we say that "continuing in kindness" is about faith then again, per my previous example, we end up creating instability in the lives of Christians because they have nothing to look to that is concrete in regards to their standing before God. Our works are obviously a fruit of the new birth, and this is true, but in our actual lives this is an act of obedience; works are not passive, but active. If John the Baptist called his listeners to "bear fruit in keeping with repentance," and then proceeds to tell the crowds what to do (Lk. 3:8-9). Jesus says that we are known by our fruit (Mt. 12:33; Lk. 6:44). Paul says that the false teachers denied God by their works (Titus 1:6). This does not mean, in any case, that our works justify us before God, and clearly the emphasis is on how works are the fruit of the Christian life, but fruit is not accidental but intentional. I believe that much of the talk about works today is an overreaction to Roman Catholicism, and we need to address that and ask if we are the ones who are actually distorting what the Bible says.

Ok, now we are getting somewhere guys. Now what does the life of a regenerate person look like?

Doesn't anyone get that Nicodemus had heard the Word and believed, therefore as Jesus was telling him, he(Nicodemus) was already born again. The new birds means exactly what it says baby Christians, infant believers. Everybody tries to rush the maturing process or impose something on people that doesn't need to be imposed.

Dreadful theology. I listen to these guys every so often to see if there is any light at the end of their tunnel. There is not. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. So, you have to believe, you have to repent, you have to be baptised and you have to receive the Holy Spirit. Those 4 things will save you. Walking daily in Christ will keep you saved! There is no other scriptural way, despite what these guys preach!

They are fake Christians.

Thank you guys. That was sooooooo edifying

For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 48:11. We just want that 1% credit don't we. It is all of God.

Salvation is a work of God and never of man. If it’s human acting ain’t no salvation

At 2:30 you say "this is something supernatural and not earthly". This runs contrary to the text. Jesus tell Nicodemus in verse 12 that what he's talking about IS EARTHLY. John 3:12 "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" Every Christian writer for ar least the first 5 centuries believed that baptism was a part of the new birth and involved personal choice. It was the Gnostics that believed what you are promoting. Here's a sampling and notice a universal agreement that "water" refers to water baptism in John 3:5. I will also relate the manner in which we dedicated ourselves to God when we had been made new through Christ.... They are brought by us where there is water, and are regenerated in the same manner in which we were regenerated ourselves. They there receive the washing with water in the name of God (the Father and Lord of the universe), of our Savior Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit. For Christ also said, "Unless you are born again, you will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." Justin Martyr, Vol. 1, pg. 183 Scripture says, "And he dipped himself seven times in the Jordan." It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized. Rather, this was a symbol for us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean from our old transgressions by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord. We are spiritually regenerated as newborn babes, just as the Lord has declared: "Unless a man is born again through water and the spirit. he will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven." Irenaeus, Vol.1, pg 574 Before a man bears the name of the Son of God, he is dead. But when he receives the seal, he lays aside his deadness and obtains life. The seal, then, is the water. They descend into the water dead, and they arise alive. Hermas Vol. 2, pg. 49 "Unless a man has been born again of water and the spirit, he will not enter into the Kingdom of the heavens." These words have tied faith to the necessity of baptism. Accordingly, all thereafter who became believers were baptized. So it was, too, that Paul, when he believed, was baptized. Tertullian, Vol. 3, pg. 676 Happy is our sacrament of water, in that, by washing away the sins of our early blindness, we are set free and admitted into eternal life... We, like little fishes, after the example of our ichthus, Jesus Christ, are born in water. Tertullian, Vol. 3, pg 669 It is the Holy Spirit who affects with water the second birth, as a certain seed of divine generation. It is a consecration of a heavenly birth and the pledge of a promised inheritance. Novation, Vol. 5, pg. 641 The blessed apostle sets forth and proves that baptism is that by which the old man dies and the new man is born, saying, "He saved us by the washing of regeneration." Cyprian, Vol. 5, pg. 388 And: " Unless a man has been baptized and born again, he cannot attain unto the Kingdom of God. In the gospel of according to John: "Unless a man is born again of water and a Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." Cyprian, Vol. 5, pg. 542 Those who are born again by the bath receive....of His holiness and of His glory... the illuminated received the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, and they are appropriately born again to incorruption. Methodius, Vol. 6, pg. 320 Man is born mortal. He afterwards becomes immortal when he begins to live in conformity with the will of God. That is, he begins to follow righteousness.... And this takes place when man, purified in the heavenly bath, lays aside his infancy along with all the pollution of his past life. Then, having received an increase of divine vigor, he becomes a perfect and complete man. Lactantuis, Vol. 7, pg. 201 The things proceeding from the waters were blessed by God, that this also could be a sign of men being destined to receive repentance and remission of sins, through the water and bath of regeneration as many as come to the truth and are born again. Theophilus Vol. 2, pg. 101 Being baptized, we are illuminated. Illuminated, we become sons.... This work is variously called grace, illumination, perfection, and washing. Washing, by which we cleanse away our sins. Grace, by which the penalties accruing to transgressions are remitted. Illumination, by which that holy light of salvation is beheld, that is, by which we see God clearly. Clement of Alexandria, Vol. 2, og 215 By the bath of regeneration, they were born as newborn babes. Origen, Vol. 9, pg. 491 The second birth, which occurs in baptism, begets sons of God. Firmilian, Vol. 5, pg. 393 In this we also have the instruction delivered by Peter... And the faith of those present and their salvation by baptism. Pamphilus. Vol. 6, pg 166 If he was not baptized, neither are any of us baptized. Yet, if there is no baptism, neither will there be any remission of sins. Rather, every man will die in his own sins. Disputation of Archelaus and Manes Vol. 6, pg. 228 "He who out of contempt will not be baptized will be condemned as an unbeliever. He will be reproached as ungrateful and foolish. For the Lord says, "Unless a man is baptized of water and of the Spirit, he will by no means enter into the Kingdom of heaven." And again: "He who believes and is baptized will be saved. but he who does not believe will be condemned." Apostolic Constitutions, Vol. 7, pg. 457. At our birth, we were born without our own knowledge or choice, but by our parents coming together.... In order that we may not remain the children of necessity and of ignorance, but may become the children of choice and knowledge, and may obtain in the water the remission of sins formerly committed, there is pronounced over him who chooses to be born again, and has repented of his sins, the name of God the Father and the Lord of the universe.... And in the name of Jesus Christ.... And in the name of the Holy Spirit. Justin Marter, Vol. 1, pg, 183 John Chrysostom after quoting John 3:5, speaking on baptism he says, " What he declares is this: Thou sayest that it is impossible, I say that it is absolutely possible as to be necessary and that it is not even possible otherwise to be saved.... It is not possible," He saith. For one not born of water and the Spirit, to enter into the Kingdom of heaven"; because he wears the raiment of death, of cursing, of perdition, he hath not yet received his Lord's token, he is a stranger and an alien, he hath not the royal watchword. "Except", He saith, "a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of heaven.".... How then shall we be able to give account of the unseen generation by baptism, which is far more exalted than these, or to require arguments for that strange and marvelous birth?....In baptism are fulfilled the pledges of our covenant with God; burial and death, resurrection and life; and these take place all at once for when we immerse our heads in the water, the old man is buried as in a tomb below, and wholly sunk forever; then as we raise them again, the new man rises in its stead. If, therefore, we say that sins are not remitted there (among the Donatists), How is he regenerate who is baptized among them? And what is regeneration in baptism, except the being renovated from the corruption of the old man? And how can he be so renovated whose past sins are not remitted? But if he be not regenerate, neither does he put on Christ; from which it seems to follow that he ought to be baptized again. For the apostle says, "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ;" and if he has not so put on Christ, neither should he be considered to have been baptized in Christ. Further, since we say that he has been baptized in Christ, we confess that he has put on Christ; and if we confess this, we confess that he is regenerate." Augustine Against the Donatists But they think within themselves that they show very great subtlety in asking whether the baptism of Christ in the party of Donatus makes men sons or not; So that, if we allow that it does make them sons, they may assert that theirs is the church, the mother which could give birth to the sons in the baptism of Christ; And since the church must be one, they may allege that ours is no church. But but if we say that it does not make men sons, "Why then," say they (the Donatists), "Do you not cause those who pass from us to you to be born again in baptism, after they have been baptized with us, if they are not thereby born as yet?" Augustine quotes the Donatists

Beautiful exegesis! ❤

He didn’t mean it the way yall took it. This is silly guys

If John said this, I agree with him. None of ELOHIM'S Truly Salvaged Saints is going to walk in disobedience to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. You can't just skim over and sammarily dismiss what THE HOLY SPIRIT HAD James to write. It's by our works we will be known. See here: John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Matthew 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matthew 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Then of course: James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: James 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Why is there NO SCRIPTURE relayed here amongst all these opinions? It's there. EL ELYON HAS PLACED IT IN THERE. THE LORD GOD... EVEN THE ONLY SOVEREIGN, OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT, AUTOCRATIC DESPOT AND POTENTATE CONTINUE TO DIRECT ALL Those HE HAS CHOSEN, INTO HIS KINGDOM, Amen. Selah.

The wake up call for you Christians out there,,,,, this scriptures was meant for alot of you, it wasnt meant for the non church goers, nor the sinner on the streets, or in the bars or otherwise,,,, it was meant for you luke warm Christians , It isnt the partying sinners or your typical unbeliever on the streets that is casting out demons, and doing great works in the name of God, the ones most guilty of judgementalness is the church,

What about the parable of the talents? He’s talking to believers in this parable. I don’t know why, but I’m haunted by this parable of the talents. I really would love it if you two would do a podcast or short story so that it will put my mind at ease on what exactly is the meaning of the parable of talents

THE TESTIMONY OF YEHOVAH THE TRUE GOD IS, KNOWLEDGE, RIGHT, TRUE, SURE, TRUSTFUL, COUNSEL, DELIGHTFUL, REJOICING, LOVELY, HERITAGE WONDERFUL AND HOPEFUL AND SUPERION TO THE TESTIMONY OF ANY OTHER AND PREFERABLE TO ANY CONTRADICTING TRETIMONY OF ANY ONE Isaiah 8:13,16,20 ASV Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

[20] To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. 2 Kings 17:13 ASV Yet JEHOVAH TESTIFIED unto Israel, and unto Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. Zechariah 7:12 ASV Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which Jehovah of hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets: therefore there came great wrath from Jehovah of hosts.

Psalm 119:1-3,14,22,24,31,36,45-46,59,79,95,99,111,119,125,129,138,144,146,151-152,157,167-168 ASV Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah. [2] Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart. [3] Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways. [14] I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches. [22] Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies. [24] Thy testimonies also are my delight Andmy counsellors. [31] I cleave unto thy testimonies: O Jehovah, put me not to shame. [36] Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, And not to covetousness. [45] And I shall walk at liberty; For I have sought thy precepts. [46] I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, And shall not be put to shame. [59] I thought on my ways, And turned my feet unto thy testimonies. [79] Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies. [88] Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth. [95] The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me; But I will consider thy testimonies. [99] I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thy testimonies are my meditation, [111] Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart. [119] Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: Therefore I love thy testimonies. [125] I am thy servant; give me understanding, That I may know thy testimonies. [129] Thy testimonies are wonderful; Therefore doth my soul keep them. [138] Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness And very faithfulness. [144] Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: Give me understanding, and I shall live. [146] I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies. [151] Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth. [152] Of old have I known from thy testimonies, That thou hast founded them for ever. [157] Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies. [167] My soul hath observed thy testimonies; And I love them exceedingly. [168] I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; For all my ways are before thee. Deuteronomy 6:4,6,13,16-18,24-25 ASV Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: [6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart; [13] Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name. [16] Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. [17] Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. [18] And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, [24] And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day. [25] And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us. 2 Chronicles 23:11 ASV Then they brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, Long live the king. Psalm 132:11-12 ASV Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

So the inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in accordance with the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

WHICHEVER GOSPEL THAT IS DISTINCT FROM THE LAW OF GOD YEHOVAH IS NOT OF GOD YEHOVAH THE LAWGIVER BUT OD SERPENT THE TEMPTER THE INVENTOR OF ANTILAW GOSPEL

Would like to hear your thoughts on Ps. 23, since Ps. 22 and 24 are about Jesus... sure seems to be a flow there.

I’ve been watching your videos for the last few hours after having found them for the first time. I’ve been a Christian since a child and at the age of 55, for the first time in my life, I don’t feel like I’m destined for hell. Thank you so much and God bless you.

Yep God poured out His love to us We too now with the Holy Spirits help will naturally pour out our love to others! Makes sense to me!

Wouldn't it be true that if you're being consistent then you would need to say that those who profess a synergistic gospel are not saved and believe in a false gospel. Semi-Pelagians say they believe in grace alone but when asked to explain what they mean they say that the sinner, before being saved, while dead in their sins, makes a righteous decision with is coupled with the work of God and then the sinner is saved/justified. Same thing with those who reject perseverance of the saints. They teach that our works keep us saved. Do you believe the people in those two categories are false Christians or that there is a "happy inconsistency"? God bless you brothers!

Christ is the blessed man of Psalm 1. We are blessed as we take refuge in Him (Psalm 2:12).

Proper exegesis and historical theology strikes again. Thank you gentlemen

Christ is Risen, Our Merciful and Compassionate High Priest who by Himself for Himself made propitiation for His people… May the Holy Spirit grant me boldness to serve Him in love… not out of slavish fear but out of joyful love

Great Job,if some1 doesnt understand that is seeking this video should save them🙏

3 days ago i fell into a Sin ive been struggling with in Battle to fight but i win and have power over it most of the times but 3 days ago' i fell weak into the Sin and yes im here still after 3 days later i can't beleive i did it again smh

Think the compilation of episodes on hard passages is a good idea

I struggle with a very high Labido Sex Drive as an unmarried man the burning desire of the flesh for Lust is overpowering and overwhelming a lot of times' i also struggled with Cocaine Addiction and Sex Addiction in one they both went go went hand in hand' was a Lustful Sex and Cocaine addict for 15 years now since ive become a Christian ive fought against it and thru the help of Jesus Christ ive managed to Battle 70% of the Urges which is progress but sometimes i fall weak into the Flesh and end up Sinning with Cocaine and Sexual Immorality' sometimes the heat gets turned up on my 100% Max where i could just cry inside of how powerful the urges are to do it' but fight it as much as i can but im not always successful and it hurts every time i fall short doing it i feel the worst feeling of Conviction and Failure and self Hatred for myself' i hate my Sinful Flesh i hope Christ will take it all away.

Is the new birth, regeneration and conversion all the same thing? If to seek God you must be born again or regeneration must have occurred or you wouldn’t have the desire to seek. So now in hearing the Good News, One of the means of Grace, we hear and believe by faith received in the new birth and exercised at the hearing of the Gospel. The demands of the Gospel should be understood as the Golden Chain of salvation, Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What is required is met in and by Christ alone, all the demands are fulfilled in Christ but are seen working through faith in the Gospel. Like you guys say, Done! We are the Harold’s of good news, indeed, even as we are the recipients working out our salvation in the telling of the old, old Story of Jesus and His Love.

Listening from Australia 🇦🇺, I'm a 76yr old great grandma and love your teaching and praying for God to bless your witness and use you mightily for His Kingdom. Go to Reformed Baptist and the preaching is great . Keep up the format boys which is terrific. Love in Jesus.

Oh, truly do hope that you do a series on complicated passages dealing with the Law/Gospel distinction so I can share them!

The Chief end of man is to Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever! Look to Christ, it is finished in all finality. Christ righteousness not ours.

Thanks for the discussion, guys. Great stuff as always.

it's not about which translations but which text you deceived people consider is the preserved written word of my saviour. the confusion is needless if you get the scripture that is infallible to think there's none of these you're calling my heavenly Father a liar i see this as a sign ye have zero fear of my HOLY GOD the words carelessly intentionally removed added, will attract to those who follow fake scripture, mock, and do not know the only living God will attract : Go away i never knew you.

Pietism tends to make people weary and afraid and hopeless. The reformed gospel tends to make people casual, unaware of the danger that still exists, and unresponsive to the teaching of Jesus. The biblical gospel brings us into a relationship with God in which we both love him and take him as serious as a heart attack. We know both the love of God and the fear of God. We have both the comfort of the Spirit and also great sobriety and urgency in light of the coming judgment.

I don’t consider myself FV, but when y’all clutch your pearls and raise the Concern™️ levels like this, it makes me want to buy an FV bumper sticker.

No surprises honestly. Especially when MacArthur is a die hard pre-trib Rapture teacher.
