I was addicted to porn, i was addicted to weed, i would curse, looking with lust for me is an understatement. I had no plans to give my life to Christ. I did not clean myself up, i did not give up my sins before coming to Christ. I did not activate Gods grace by evangelizing because i wasnt even Christian... But this is grace. Despite all my sin and wretchedness God saved me from myself.
📗 Romans 5:8 _"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."_ Anyone, anywhere can come to the foot of the cross. Praise God.
Yes this is to become born again by His grace and compassion alone . Not of works
He first loved us, and gave his son for us, that whosoever would believe on His name will be saved.
@@1Chongs so heres a direct quote from you : "in this world no one is either right nor wrong as we are still developing/learning." End quote. So according to your world view, rape isn't wrong, killing a 2 month old baby by strangulation isnt wrong, or a drunk driver killing a mom and her kids isnt wrong, neither was slavery or hitler and the holocaust and ultimately according to your world view those that did all those evil things cant be held responsible or be called evil because according to you, "they are still learning" end quote.
You see in my world view all those that did those horrendous and evil things i can say they are evil and i can say they will receive punishment because my God whom i serve gives justice to the wicked therefore punishes them. And i can say they are evil without contradicting myself because in my world view there is an ABSOLUTE sense of right and wrong.
Same
I Used to be Mormon. Glory to God for delivering me from that lie.
Praise God! I know a Mormon.
That one girl at the end had a moment of realization and (possible) conviction when Ray mentioned what scripture says about lairs.
Is that where bears live?
The expression on her face changed in a heartbeat.......and she never smiled again
May the God of our Lord Jesus be with her
I really liked the way he spoke with the last couple. She seemed very concerned about her beliefs, and he gave her food for thought, n I hope she'll go searching for more truth.
You could see the concern and conviction in her eyes. She seemed to have such a sweet and tender heart. It seems God is working on her, let’s pray she comes to faith and repentance in Jesus Christ.
Her world was flipped inside out n upside down from the look on her face
The confusion you're having is because of how you are asking the question and it's not as simple as what you think. Mormons believe in different types of salvation and they are correct and I will explain why.
SAVED FROM HELL
1) Mormons believe that we receive salvation from the outer darkness of hell through the GRACE of Christ. As you let Christ into your heart by feeding your soul with inspired writings from God, Great spiritual music, sincere prayer, meditation and you allow Christ into your heart, then Christ makes a believer out of you. This salvation is a gift given to all believers. Mormons believe this gift is not reserved to just Mormons, but is a gift given to all believers.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Now once you are saved from the outer darkness of hell then there is another salvation and this is what is confusing the rest of the Christian community about Mormonism, but in reality it's what most Christians believe as well but its just not connecting for some reason, so let's get into this other salvation.
SAVED FROM LOSING OUR INHERITANCE
Now losing your inheritance doesn't prevent you from going to heaven, because all believers regardless of what they have done here on earth will go to heaven. So even if you steel, cheat, lie, commit adultery, murder, and commit many other sins, then can still go to heaven if you are a believer in Christ. This is also what mormons believe.
However Mormons also believe that you can loose your inheritance (Awards) in heaven and the only way to be saved from loosing your inheritance is by your WORKS you do here on earth.
Christ is the King and the second judge who will judge us based on our works. Mormons teach that in heaven there is a Telestial Kingdom, Terrestrial Kingdom, and there are 3 Kingdoms that make up the Celestial Kingdom, so a total of 5 Kingdoms that we can inherit that represents our Glory.
Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
It is interesting that the Bible uses the word inherit the Kingdom and not inhabit the Kingdom, because when you inherit a kingdom what does the King place on your head? That's right a crown.
5 Heavenly Kingdoms
5 Heavenly Crowns
Based on the things we do on earth we can inherit the Glory . Now these are not actual places or material things but they are symbolic to our Glory we receive as our inheritance, and we can loose this Glory based on what we do not do (WORKS).
Because salvation from the outer darkness has been achieved through the grace of Christ, then putting more focus on being saved from loosing that inheritance isn't unreasonable for most Christians. The Christian community sees this as awards we can earn through our works and Mormons sees these as rewards that we have been promised that we can loose. Well both the Christian community and the Mormon community are both correct, because not getting an award that you could have gotten is the same thing as loosing an award.
So when you ask a Mormon how you are saved then you may be talking about the salvation from hell (GRACE) and they are thinking your talking about the salvation from losing our inheritance or Glory in heaven. (WORKS) The Christian community get confused because most don't put a lot of focus on the 5 Heavenly Crowns and are just excited to be saved by Grace.
So really there are actually two things that really matters the most:
1) Salvation from Hell (gift already given)
2) Salvation from losing our inheritance (glory.)
All the other things that are out there like the history of the church, the journal of discourses is more theory about the mysteries of God then anything else and most members don't actually see that stuff as truth but more as theory to explain the mysteries of God, but even the thief on the cross didn't know all the mysteries of God.
The problem that you have is that you are classifying a group of people (mormons) as not believing in Christ when we all know that believing in Christ is an individual thing and not the membership of a particular organization. So can a Mormon read the King James bible, have Christ enter their heart, make them a believer, and through the Grace of Christ be saved? Yes, because if you believe the Bible then you would believe that the grace of Christ was a gift given to all believers even a Mormon that is a believer can also be saved and still be a Mormon.
All religious organizations have their problems and people need to realize that church organizations and the bible are just tools that help us on our journey. People that put all their trust and faith in a church organization or spiritual leader will have their heart shattered. Those that put their faith and trust in Christ will recognize that their church is just a tool and will not be troubled when they see the flaws.
The reason members of the LDS church leave the church is because their heart and faith was based on the church and Joseph Smith and not on Christ. However members that put their faith and trust in Christ are not troubled by the flaws of the church and they don't have a real reason to leave the church because they recognize the church as a tool that helps them spiritually grow.
Having members leave the LDS church is a wake-up call to a realization of where their heart was in the first place. 80% of members that leave the LDS church not only stop believing in the church but they also stop believing in God completely. So was it a victory for you to point out all the flaws of their mormon church, and get them to leave, when in fact you become the result of turning a believer in Christ into a non-believer? It would be better to help a Mormon understand that despite the flaws within the church all that really matters is their belief in Christ and not the church they attend.
I just left the Mormon church 8 months ago and became born again on June 20th and the amazing things God has done for me in the last 8 months, His outpouring of love, my relationship and newfound freedom in Jesus has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. 37 years of faithful servitude in the Mormon church never made me like Jesus. Jesus made me like Jesus when I completely trusted in Him and took His word in the Bible seriously. God called me to start a ministry to help Mormons go from religion to true relationship with Jesus. Amen!
That's beautiful!! Amen!! Crying tears of joy!
Jesus taught religion though...🤨
Praise God
I’m so glad I’ve been freed from Mormonism. There are so many contradictions between the book of Mormon in the Bible.
Redefine Living so what got you out of it? Where did God lead you to know that it was false? I know a lot of Mormons and I need some advice on how to reach them.
@@eeeddddddiiieee works-based salvation. See the 3rd article of faith which says we are justified by the law and compare it to Gal. 5 "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." Christ's atonement in lds doctrine was therefore insufficient because we still have to earn it/be deserving of the Salvation that is a "free gift" (Eph 2:8-9) somehow.
The god of mormonism is not eternal and is a created being. 'christ' is the spirit offspring of 'elohim' & his wife in lds doctrine, which is a direct contradiction of Colossians 1:16 which states Christ created all things visible & invisible. They believe in millions of gods and that they themselves will become gods, compare that to Isaiah 43:10 "and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me." There are around 30 Bible verses stating explicitly that there is only one God, Yahweh.
@@eeeddddddiiieee tell them read the teachings of Brigham young. He taught if the bible was false then the book of Mormon is false. Many claim today the bible is false or people changed the scripture through time and if any point doesnt agree with there doctrine they can say well people changed it over the last few thousand years. Not true according to brigham young also Joseph Smith had a dozen failed prophecys and was a thief and a liar forging ancient egyption writings that were proved as well as committing murder trying to escape.jail then being killed
I have a branch that is Mormon. My late uncle was a bishop. My mom and dad took us for awhile, but I didn't agree with it. Mom and dad quit too. Mom went back to Baptist dad just quit. I am just a Bible believing sinner saved by Grace.
@@lilly5157 amen, amen
Ray, i love you and I'm hoping to meet you in future.
He’s amazing
@@Lalomalo_solidinca Ik😊
Surely we will meet him in Heaven😊
I think people want to do that.
He’s I really Admire him 👍🏻
my family is LDS, I was saved out of this cult and the age of 40. God saved me out of slavery to sin and took me from my own wandering in the desert of addiction and mercifully open my eyes and showed me the truth. Thank you sweet Jesus for Your grace and salvation. I pray He would open my parents eyes to the lies of Joseph Smith
Amen, one of my sons best friends parents are Mormon. I’ve been wanting to talk to them about Christ and salvation but have been putting it off because I don’t want to offend them. Sounds like works based beliefs. I pray the Lord gives me the words to speak. I want to please God not man even if it means they don’t want to talk to me anymore. I need gentleness like Ray, so it’s a conversation and not an argument. Pray for me
Better to offend them to heaven than to let them walk to hell, though we always must speak with grace and love to speak gently to the lost souls, you got it brother! God will go before us whenever we entrust it in Him no doubt!
MARIOHAKAISHIN Amen brother, thank you
Listen to Jeff Durbin debate Mormons
Check out the channel apologia studios, they have many videos about talking to Mormons
Joey Ouyang Yeah I’ve been listening to Durbin for years. It’s more of a confidence thing for me though, ya know? I just need the courage and confidence to speak the truth to these ppl gently
Can you guys please pray for me? I’m really struggling with doubtful thoughts and recently blasphemous and wicked thoughts I don’t know what’s going on but I really need prayers please pray for me
Just did.. amen.. read some scriptures and feel the love that is gifted to you and share that love.. also when you pray ask for the holy spirit to guide you in your thoughts..
My advice is not to focus on or engage with those thoughts, they don't come from your heart. Worship or pray when it happens and just say to them, "I will not listen to you". It has helped me with similar experiences

Demonic entities try to get you to curse Christ! I'm not sure if this is them, but look into spiritual warfare! If you have those thoughts, praise God! If they go away, it might be demonic powers
🙏
Praying for our Country...
Amen Jake. Great idea. Couple weeks ago I fasted and prayed for 7 days for Trump and our country. I think I need to do it again. Good one Jake thank you.
That last witnessing was powerful you could see it in their eyes a seed was planted.
I found this awesome video about how dinosaurs are in the bible
czcams.com/video/z-x_XHYKRXo/video.html
Indeed.
Pray the seed falls on good soil
Ray, for the last couple of months I’ve had convictions in my heart on spreading the gospel as God intended for us to do so. 2020 was my wake up call and you have given me so many powerful tips on how to share the gospel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
RAY, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!
On last clip. The young lady seemed stunned /shocked- wow. Hopefully she has watched herself repeatedly on you tube & heard it allll again & again & is saved/on her way to TRUTH. Thank you so much ❣️🙏🏽❣️
I live in Mormon- Town. LDS rules police courts ... nightmare unless you compromise - lukewarm ... which I refuse, my heart breaks for these lovely people so deceived! (But there are consequences/please pray for me. GODS WILL
More love boldness, anointed encounters with the right people.
praying for you right now, jini
oh wow, they only way you must be able to cope is to pray. I'm really sorry about all these people so deceived and that you live amongst them like that. Will pray for them and for you to be able to evangelise in the best manner possible🙏
my favorite verse is Ephesians 2:8-9!!! God bless you Living Waters Team!
I pray you all over at Living Waters are doing well. God bless!

Loving Jesus. Whoever is reading this God is with you even when life seems hard, painful or filled with loss and grief You will overcome.
@@1Chongs um
Grace Morgan even if you're a Mormon? Even if you don't believe Christ saved you by grace alone?
@@1Chongs hi Steve I'm not sure where you're getting all that information but just starting with your first sentence, yes Christ died, but he rose again on the third day and defeated death.
@@1Chongs you bring up "the Buddha." What's the Buddha? Is that where you're getting all this information from?
@@1Chongs hi Steve thank you for your reply. So the Buddha is a "he/she that has fully/ partly awaken one or enlightened one?" That is a interesting description. If he/she/it denies the resurrection of Christ, which is easily proven, then I don't know how "enlightened" it is? And I guess I don't understand the he/ she part or the partly/fully enlightened? So many variables and uncertainties there. But okay suit yourself sir. Good luck with that plan.
Please remember the gospel which is this. Jesus Paid or I will.
We've all offended God and people at some point in our lives. The wages of this sin is death. Either I will pay because I've earned my wages of death, or Christ voluntarily died in my place. If I trust the Savior and repent I will be saved. Good luck Steve.
Thank you for showing us how to “do the work of an evangelist”, Ray! Your conversation with the last couple in the video was clearly cutting through some darkness. 👍👍🙏🙏💕💕
The lady at the end was really listening, that's how you know we are all called to preach the word of God. It's not set aside for only preachers and pastors. Amazing work Ray!
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
That name is Jesus
Acts 4:12
Amen!
Actually it's Yeshua which means "salvation." You shall name the child Salvation for He shall SAVE His people from their sins!
@@carolbowen1693 hi sister, Jesus is the English version of the hebrew Yeshua.
I love you, Ray Comfort! 🤗 ❤ I'm certain that God has a special reward for you in Heaven for all of the souls that you have returned to Him! 🤲🏆💯
God bless you Ray. I’d like to ask for prayers from everyone for my Mormon folks to humble themselves to the true gospel and embrace it.
We do not worship Mormon, we worship Christ. I am not a Mormon, I am a Christian. I know that I have put my faith in the true Gospel.
@@parkerbarduhn9293 LDS do not follow the same Christ as Christians. Read the Bible not false extensions.
@@parkerbarduhn9293 Whats up with the whole “I’m a mormon” campaign if that not what they are called?
@@smugsloth5825 I understand that campaign has caused confusion, but it's Jesus Christ's will that we no longer be called mormons. We are christians. That is what we are meant to be called.
@@smugsloth5825 these "false extensions" testify of Christ and support the Bible. If you say that they don't then you don't understand what scriptures mean.
My family is Mormon and I’m so thankful Gods truth pierced through their false doctrines!
Jacob Warden
They are not Mormons any more or are they?
My family is catholic 😭😭
I want to get saved so bad Idkk if I’m truly born again
HATE DECEIT they are still Mormon, I should’ve specified, God saved me, and I’m praying for my family
Jacob Warden can you pray for me too please I’m so confused about the Gospel and I’m scared
God bless you all
You too! :)
Hello ray God bless you.I am from Ethiopia east Africa I have started to preach the gospel asking them about death and if they are a Good person.God has used me and my friends to reach our brothers and sisters here in Ethiopia in Amharic so thank you and God bless you.one more thing pray for us for God to give us boldness to preach his wrath and to give us money to show his love
Barnabas Milkyas That’s wonderful. Keep up the good work. God bless, Ray Comfort
One simple question that I ask Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses... If it's all about works why did Jesus have to die on the cross?
I asked that to a Jehovah's Witness not too long ago and their response was ... I'm not sure ....good question
Very good Campbell, Salvation can not be earned.
Galatians 2:21
Only faith in Christ alone.
Jesus died on the cross because we need salvation from death and sin, we will fall short but there is still the day of judgement. What are you going to be judged for? You will be judged by your works that Jesus has guided you and helped you to do or you reject Jesus and you are judged for your vain worldly works.
Believers are not judged the same way as non believers.The sins of believers will not be an issue at the judgment seat of Christ - they have already been forgiven. The judgment seat of Christ is not designed to punish believers, but rather to reward them for their faithful service. All of us will give an account of what we have done after trusting Christ as Savior. Therefore, the judgment seat of Christ is a judgment of believers works after salvation. We will get rewards and lose rewards, but we all will see heaven.
I hope they find the real truth. 🙏
Pray for them
It’s hard to fill up a cup that is already full. All we can do is pray and use Gods word as a sharp sword

Steven Henderson there’s one gospel not different salvations. You also get some facts wrong, Mormons believe in a universal salvation. Through Christ for every living person ever. And only if you are a top Mormon or baby you inherit the celestial kingdom. It’s another gospel, let them be accursed
@@jacobwarden9140 Your right there is on gospel but you clearly do not understand that you can be saved in multiple ways. You can be saved from the addiction of drugs, you can be saved from death or injury, you can be saved from a life of sin, you can be saved from hell and you can also be saved form losing the 5-Heavenly crowns of righteousness. The LDS church teaches of some of the different salvations : www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/salvation?lang=eng
There are not different levels in heaven, but there are a difference in the Glory you will receive. These are the 5 crowns heavenly crowns spoken of in the Bible.
Thank you ray! Glory to God, pray for the lost, and may them be found.

My family is Mormon, my grandfather was a bishop for years.... I feel so sorry for them.... They feel like they have to earn Gods love.... So much suicide in that religion. Cause they never feel good enough for God..
I have a friend who is a Mormon and what you say is true
I'm a member, and this is definitely not true.
I was born in the covenant and very devout until I was suddenly saved at 30 years old. Yes, there was certainly a large number of suicides, and I was in several different areas. So sad!
"On a geographical basis, Utah performs well on low rates of suicide. This may be correlated to the willingness of Utah's population to seek treatment, as evidenced by rates of anti-depressant medication prescription. (See LDS antidepressant use.) Religion is generally protective against suicide, and studies on Latter-day Saints bear this out.
It is unfortunate that critics wish to trivialize a serious problem such as suicide-a leading cause of death in the United States-by using it as a club to beat a specific religion. They do this without any data implicating the Church, and much data which argues against the patients' religion as a causative factor."

You have been deceived and indoctrinated by demons they have taught you about a false god not the true God of the Bible. Ray Comfort states you believe your Jesus is the bother of Satan and your doctrine also teaches that your god has a wife.
All I can say is if you truly desire truth ask for forgiveness from a merciful God read the bible which is the Word of God for yourself and ask God to reveal his truth because you must be born from above to enter the kingdom of God.
Love you brother Ray Comfort ❤️🙂

God is Good and listening to the prayers, God bless you and your prayers Amen Amen Brother in the name of Jesus 🙏♥️😇🇫🇮
Amazing! This was beautiful!
Praise the Lord
May God Bless You All and your loved ones
I could see the wheels turning with the young lady at the end. I hope and pray that God changes her heart.
The Holy Spirit will never enter, save, redeem, restore, a sinner who thinks he can be justified through works! 6:25, he read the Bible, maybe, but still can't understand because he is driven by religious obligation... If righteousness could be gained through the law then Christ died for nothing! Galatians 2:21
Amen!
Brothers and sisters, please pray for me. I‘m having a hard time being open with my belief. Sometimes I feel ashamed of my faith in jesus and cannot be open with it. Also i find it very hard helping others in life because i feel like i‘m an introvert....🙏😔
You will look like a fool to others and you will be persecuted. Just think of it this way: Jesus IS FOOLISHNESS to those who do not believe. Do not rely on your own words. Just speak your truth. Tell others what he has done for you, to change you.
My Life has been tough however with my affliction it's caused me to grow stronger in CHRIST JESUS and my Faith. So I THANK GOD for my affliction.
Glorious!
We need more people like you keep up the good work

King James Version
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Amen. , I’ve seen a lot of your videos Mr. comfort but none of those interviews, thank you and God bless. :-) 🙏
Thanks for the montage, Ray! I love the video dedicated to a certain subject. How helpful to see your interactions with mormons from different angles all in one sitting. Could you do this with other sects, cults, or subjects? Thanks for everything you do!
Hosea 6:6:- “ It's kindness that I want not animal sacrifices ”
This verse is 1] before Jesus died on the cross. This is talking about animal sacrifises which were necessary back then; because for forgiveness of God blood has to be shed. When Jesus died on the cross, he shed his blood on the cross so that we need no longer sacrifise animals since his blood was the subtitute.
2] Read it in context, God means here that he doesn't want the animal sacrifises if it is just a way for people to justify them sinning. The animal sacrifises were needed to made with kindness and respect to the Lord, in obeying Him hence trying not to sin. But in those times, the israelites just kept on sinning without repenting. They didnt care for the actual meaning or reason behind animal sacrifise
Btw I may have assumed which way you interpreted it and sorry if I assumed wrong. I just wanted to speak truth in Jesus. I'm myself an evangelist christian saved by Grace bte

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Now once you are saved from the outer darkness of hell then there is another salvation and this is what is confusing the rest of the Christian community about Mormonism, but in reality it's what most Christians believe as well but its just not connecting for some reason, so let's get into this other salvation.
SAVED FROM LOSING OUR INHERITANCE
Now losing your inheritance doesn't prevent you from going to heaven, because all believers regardless of what they have done here on earth will go to heaven. So even if you steel, cheat, lie, commit adultery, murder, and commit many other sins, then can still go to heaven if you are a believer in Christ. This is also what mormons believe.
However Mormons also believe that you can loose your inheritance (Awards) in heaven and the only way to be saved from loosing your inheritance is by your WORKS you do here on earth.
Christ is the King and the second judge who will judge us based on our works. Mormons teach that in heaven there is a Telestial Kingdom, Terrestrial Kingdom, and there are 3 Kingdoms that make up the Celestial Kingdom, so a total of 5 Kingdoms that we can inherit that represents our Glory.
Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
It is interesting that the Bible uses the word inherit the Kingdom and not inhabit the Kingdom, because when you inherit a kingdom what does the King place on your head? That's right a crown.
5 Heavenly Kingdoms
5 Heavenly Crowns
Based on the things we do on earth we can inherit the Glory . Now these are not actual places or material things but they are symbolic to our Glory we receive as our inheritance, and we can loose this Glory based on what we do not do (WORKS).
Because salvation from the outer darkness has been achieved through the grace of Christ, then putting more focus on being saved from loosing that inheritance isn't unreasonable for most Christians. The Christian community sees this as awards we can earn through our works and Mormons sees these as rewards that we have been promised that we can loose. Well both the Christian community and the Mormon community are both correct, because not getting an award that you could have gotten is the same thing as loosing an award.
So when you ask a Mormon how you are saved then you may be talking about the salvation from hell (GRACE) and they are thinking your talking about the salvation from losing our inheritance or Glory in heaven. (WORKS) The Christian community get confused because most don't put a lot of focus on the 5 Heavenly Crowns and are just excited to be saved by Grace.
So really there are actually two things that really matters the most:
1) Salvation from Hell (gift already given)
2) Salvation from losing our inheritance (glory.)
All the other things that are out there like the history of the church, the journal of discourses is more theory about the mysteries of God then anything else and most members don't actually see that stuff as truth but more as theory to explain the mysteries of God, but even the thief on the cross didn't know all the mysteries of God.
The problem that you have is that you are classifying a group of people (mormons) as not believing in Christ when we all know that believing in Christ is an individual thing and not the membership of a particular organization. So can a Mormon read the King James bible, have Christ enter their heart, make them a believer, and through the Grace of Christ be saved? Yes, because if you believe the Bible then you would believe that the grace of Christ was a gift given to all believers even a Mormon that is a believer can also be saved and still be a Mormon.
All religious organizations have their problems and people need to realize that church organizations and the bible are just tools that help us on our journey. People that put all their trust and faith in a church organization or spiritual leader will have their heart shattered. Those that put their faith and trust in Christ will recognize that their church is just a tool and will not be troubled when they see the flaws.
The reason members of the LDS church leave the church is because their heart and faith was based on the church and Joseph Smith and not on Christ. However members that put their faith and trust in Christ are not troubled by the flaws of the church and they don't have a real reason to leave the church because they recognize the church as a tool that helps them spiritually grow.
Having members leave the LDS church is a wake-up call to a realization of where their heart was in the first place. 80% of members that leave the LDS church not only stop believing in the church but they also stop believing in God completely. So was it a victory for you to point out all the flaws of their mormon church, and get them to leave, when in fact you become the result of turning a believer in Christ into a non-believer? It would be better to help a Mormon understand that despite the flaws within the church all that really matters is their belief in Christ and not the church they attend.
It should not. They are desperately depraved and evil people.
@@palipali4264 Why are you even on here. You say that Mormons are evil people but you get on here and try to cause contention.
@@stevenhenderson9005 I don't feel like @The Hopper is right on what he/she said. I'm a Christian myself, and I recently met some Mormon missionaries (and i never even heard of Mormonism) but I've sincerely prayed about it and I felt like God was telling me to avoid Joseph Smith, and there have been so many signs like God was telling me why...Like all of a sudden lessons at church were teaching about false prophets, I just joined a BCM in college and the same thing happened there. Even though I don't believe in the book of Mormon, I still respect the people. The missionaries I met are amazing people. I still meet with them weekly to learn more about what they stand on, but what they're doing is very hard. It's so sad that our mission on earth is to spread the gospel, and that's what so many Mormons are doing, yet we get uncomfortable when we are given an opportunity to evangelize. Those missionaries set a great example of how I want to be. They are always nice, and they never hesitate to put others before themselves. not only that, but they face rude rejections every day. People are so rude to Mormons. No, I don't belive in the D&C or the BOM, I believe in the bible alone, but people need to stop hating on them, that is NOT what God calls us to do! They are not evil people, I can guarantee that. And honestly, that's just like racism, except its religions we're dealing with. It's God's role to judge us, we just need to do our part and share the Gospel through love, and scripture. But shutting them off like that and being hateful is wrong. Not your place.
@@stevenhenderson9005 thank you for having a brain I'm Mormon and I'm sick of being judged for my beliefs by people that have no idea what they are talking about
Amazing evangelism preaching. 💕
Those have been amazing
Pray for more laborers, a great harvest in the coming months, corruption to be exposed and the church to have a stronger backbone

Awesome!
Ray you are doing great works. The one thing I was thinking to say to the young man, that kept saying Heavenly Father won’t give you gifts for free is this. Grace is a reward for you accepting His sacrifice for your sins. That’s the only thing you can do on your part. The rest is up to the Almighty. God Bless
Ray: What do you have to do to be saved?
Mormon: I have to do my best and then let Him take the rest.
Ray: NOPE!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ray: What do you have to do to be saved?
The Misunderstanding: Mormons teaching is that you are saved from losing your inheritance of glory by the WORKS you do on earth. (5 - Heavenly Crowns) and so this is why other Christians don't understand what they are saying.
As a Mormon we believe that we are saved from the outer darkness of hell by allowing Christ to enter our heart and allowing him to make us a believer in him. This was a free gift given to all people in the entire world the believes in him.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Now when we are Judged by God we will go through another judgement to receive our awards in heaven. In the Mormon church we teach of the Telestial Kingdom, Terrestrial Kingdom, and three kingdoms that make up the Celestial Kingdom, so a total of 5 Kingdoms of Glory that we can receive based on our works. Now this has been promised as our inheritance to the kingdom of God. Christ is the King that will award us with our inheritance.
Matthew 25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
It is interesting that the bible uses the word inherit the kingdom and not inhabit the kingdom, because when you inherit a kingdom what does the king place on your head? That's right a Crown.
5 Heavenly Crowns
5 Heavenly Kingdoms
These are not actual places or material things but they are and illustration of our Glory based on the things we have done on earth. This Glory is our inheritance that has been promised to us based on our works. So when you ask a Mormon how someone is saved, you are talking about the salvation from the outer darkness of hell and they are thinking of being saved from losing their inheritance.
The reason is that mormons are focused on the achieving the highest level of the Celestial Kingdom which is the crown of Victory to most Christians.
The reason most mormons don't preach a lot on salvation the same way as other Christians is because salvation has already been achieved through the Grace of Christ to all believers. So now that you have been saved you need to focus on not losing your inheritance.
So saved can be something different to a Mormon based on how you ask the question.
@@stevenhenderson9005 The Celestial Kingdom is not a "crown of victory to most Christians." A Christian cannot "lose his/her inheritance." The Telestial Kingdom, Terrestrial Kingdom, and Celestial Kingdom are Mormon teachings that have no basis in scripture. These ideas do not come from God. Mormonism does what many other cults do - mixing a little bit of truth with a large pack of lies. This is a form of deception that is particularly cruel. Mormons are not only lied to, but they are taught to call these lies "Christian." It is depressing to me to know that people are kept from the truth. Mormon theology is not Christian.
@@stevenhenderson9005 You are trying hard. You are failing. Your doctrine is in direct opposition to the truth. The Bible says, "if ANY man confess a different doctrine, even if it is brought to him BY AN ANGEL, LET HIM BE ACURSED." You are a cursed man who is going to hell. You are not saved by your works and you are cursed for spreading those lies to innocent people because you are a deceiver like your father Satan.
@@palipali4264 Wow you have a sad life. Well I am praying for you, and I hope Satan leaves your heart.
Ray, could you please put the links to the interviews in the description :)? God bless you sir
When he said "we have to deserve God's love," I immediately thought "we were dead in our trespasses" and that's when he showed his love for us, by dying for us. What a beautiful truth.
My family is Catholic, since my father was influenced by the Muslims, we did not embrace worshipping Mary and the Saints. This year lots of storms keep coming in my life. I did not understand why God left my earthly needs unanswered. My father was diagnosed with tumors and passed away, there's no scholarship for me. My education is doomed we are full of financial debts. But prior to all these storm I've been seeking God while not believing in Christ Jesus as the Lord. As my rose colored world crumbled because of these storms, I tried seeking Christ and He changed me. I know it because I can feel His presence every moment and inch of me. My past behavior, my addictions, my short temper, my desires for fame and earthly wealth has passed away. Through Him I am changed. Thanks be to God through Christ Jesus our Lord we are being saved.
What I am struggling most right now which I know for sure that God knows are:
1) I lost desires to strive for academics. I just want to please Jesus Christ. I did not believe in Him before, thus I wanted to fill myself with the Words I used not to care about.
2) Now that God is giving me understanding of His Word, I wanted to let others know the Good news that we don't have to be worthy. His grace is sufficient to save us (Ephesians 2:8-9).
3) I wanted my family, friends, relatives, and all people to be saved because God taught me to love. I love God because He loves me. Now, His love is teaching me to love everyone His people. I believe that God is doing the work in me. God placed the fire in me to exhort my family members seek Him= Christ Jesus. I am God's workmanship but sometimes being seen as strange, weird, foolish for sharing His Word disheartened me.
Cheer up brothers and sisters experiencing similar struggles with me. It's okay, God is our Everything. God places the fire in us; so we no longer walk alone, we walk by faith, Him as our Lord. If we struggle seeing our loved ones perishing, God knows it and is working something on us in His perfect time. Let us keep fighting the good fight knowing Jesus is in the same boat with us. God Bless you all. Honor and Glory be to Him.
Acts 2:40- Peter said, “ Save Yourselves from This Corrupt Generation!” I see this as The Proper Response to The Cross!!!😘

🥺love it❤
Loved the first approach Def I'm gonna use with my lovely Jwitness
It's hard for mormons to separate works from grace and see what he did. Took me years. Ex-mormon.
One thing I noticed in them all.. was that they had a fear of God.. and the other thing I noticed was.. the fact that they could know they were forgiven, was a totally foreign concept to them?
I think the clip was indicative of the need for them to hear what the Bible says.. because that good news of justification by faith in the gift and grace of God is the answer to their deepest need..
It seems like they need to hear that message a whole lot before they can trust it..
My heart broke for them.. the pain was in their eyes..
Thank You Ray for showing me a good example of how the Lord expects me to approach these folks..
I needed to see this, in order for the Lord to change my attitude and heart on this issue..
You didn't deal with the fruit, you set out to deal with the root..
The root of the issue is.. they don't know how God justifies and saves.. and they don't understand how willing He is to do this for each of them..
The rest of doctrine can be explained at later times..
I really like those two people in the final part of the video they thirst for The truth ,the truth Of The Word of God with deep concerning about it....
Wow!! Ray that was good.
It is so sad for me to see different people and their belief or unbelief about the truths of Almight God.
Let the eyes that God Almighty gave you see.
Let the ears that God Almighty gave you hear And LET the heart that God Almighty gave you be humble to receive Jesus Christ as the only way , truth only and the only life to Almight God, while the Almight God has given you time to do so, weather little or longer Amen!
The confusion you're having is because of how you are asking the question and it's not as simple as what you think. Mormons believe in different types of salvation and they are correct and I will explain why.
SAVED FROM HELL
1) Mormons believe that we receive salvation from the outer darkness of hell through the GRACE of Christ. As you let Christ into your heart by feeding your soul with inspired writings from God, Great spiritual music, sincere prayer, meditation and you allow Christ into your heart, then Christ makes a believer out of you.

for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

King James Version
5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Awesome compilation Brother Ray and Living Waters, thanks.. In my area I deal with tons of Jehovah Witnesses, I don't turn them away but rather I attempt to share with them God's Word and Truths, I wish y'all could do a gooooood detailed video on dealing with them. God bless y'all~John
I'm sure that the five top Jehovah's Witness interviews are coming soon. But yes Living Waters has a 30-minute video all about Jehovah's Witnesses and it was part of their television program The Way of the master. I believe it's on CZcams you can probably find it.
Three years ago, and still very pertinent today and tomorrow. It makes one feel free to have the knowledge that being saved by God's Grace is the answer, the Only answer. Believe, Repent of your sins, be Born Again, and live a sin free as best you can knowing you can always go directly to God for forgiveness in the name of his son Jesus the Christ.
Second !!!!
In the flesh, you don't get something for nothing, ever.
That is exactly correct!
That is Why Christs Sacrifice death is perfect. HE is the un blemished Lamb.
HE is The only ONE that offers this Free gift.
It is a Spiritual Gift. The only Free gift given, by which men and women can be saved.
You must be "Born Again", in order to understand. John 3:3.
Christ Bless!
That's odd - didn't Jesus promise that whatever you asked God for, he would give it to you?
@@urasam2 ...........whatever you ask according to HIS Will, that does NOT mean whatever. have any idea what Gods Will is?
hawknives Well, you’re wrong.
Matthew 7:7-11
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
There is no stipulation about God’s will
@@urasam2 Nope....NOT wrong.what will you do when your prayer is not answered, according to your time line?
Will you give up on Christ?
Answer the question....what is Gods Will.
@@hawknives The text I quoted plainly states that you can ask God for anything and he will give it to you. If you add the stipulation about God's will then you are making up your own text. But let's go with your version for argument's sake: If it is God's will for you to have something, and you ask for it, then you say he will give it to you. If you don't ask for it - will you still get it? If God wills it, then surely you will get it anyway, if God always gets what he wills. If by not asking for it, you are stopping God's will, doesn't that mean God's will is powerless?
The standard Christian response to the argument of prayer is the traffic light analogy - if you ask God for something the answer is either YES, NOT YET or NO. What they fail to realise is that this is the same as no prayer at all. It covers absolutely every eventuality, and therefore is meaningless.
In your first post, you didn't ask me what God's will was, you asked if I knew what it was. In your second post you rather rudely told me to answer the question which you hadn't asked. Of course I don't know what God's will is, and neither does anybosy else, because God (Yahweh) does not exist.
Nice video
I miss seeing these interviews.
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

The Book of Mormon: A Testament of Another Jesus Christ.
A cult for sure
@@anncar2973 yes for sure, they evangelise for their own purpose not Gods.
Another false testiment , more like it ! The Word of God is the true living word..
Only One Gospel
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:6-9
First time I saw those words in the book of mormon it was a dead giveaway of how that religion was false. The Bible specifically says that even if someone/an angel brings us another testament we should not believe in it. God bless all!
It is a cult ! Not another book
This broke my heart. Phew.
Yeah for sure!
Jesus I pull my trust from myself and I place it on you in Jesus name Amen.
Keep in mind that “Darkness” doesn’t necessarily means evil or separation of god.
U have no idea how darkness can be so beautiful
Christians are supposed to be children of the Light. That's why we are referred to as the salt and light of the earth. We are supposed to have an affinity towards the light not towards darkness. The Gospel of John starts speaking about the light and its very amazing how John describes it. Please read the first few chapters of the book of John it will bless you I promise. It says that in God there is no darkness and also in us there should be no darkness. God bless you!
The Third eye24
And the indictment is this: that the light came into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their practices were wicked. For everyone who acts vilely, not only hates the light, but shrinks from it, so that his doings may not be detected. But he who does right comes to the light, so that his actions may be displayed; because the origin of his conduct is in God. John 3:19-21

The confusion you're having is because of how you are asking the question and it's not as simple as what you think. Mormons believe in different types of salvation and they are correct and I will explain why.
SAVED FROM HELL
1) Mormons believe that we receive salvation from the outer darkness of hell through the GRACE of Christ. As you let Christ into your heart by feeding your soul with inspired writings from God, Great spiritual music, sincere prayer, meditation and you allow Christ into your heart, then Christ makes a believer out of you. This salvation is a gift given to all believers. Mormons believe this gift is not reserved to just Mormons, but is a gift given to all believers.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Now once you are saved from the outer darkness of hell then there is another salvation and this is what is confusing the rest of the Christian community about Mormonism, but in reality it's what most Christians believe as well but its just not connecting for some reason, so let's get into this other salvation.
SAVED FROM LOSING OUR INHERITANCE
Now losing your inheritance doesn't prevent you from going to heaven, because all believers regardless of what they have done here on earth will go to heaven. So even if you steel, cheat, lie, commit adultery, murder, and commit many other sins, then can still go to heaven if you are a believer in Christ. This is also what mormons believe.
However Mormons also believe that you can loose your inheritance (Awards) in heaven and the only way to be saved from loosing your inheritance is by your WORKS you do here on earth.
Christ is the King and the second judge who will judge us based on our works. Mormons teach that in heaven there is a Telestial Kingdom, Terrestrial Kingdom, and there are 3 Kingdoms that make up the Celestial Kingdom, so a total of 5 Kingdoms that we can inherit that represents our Glory.
Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
It is interesting that the Bible uses the word inherit the Kingdom and not inhabit the Kingdom, because when you inherit a kingdom what does the King place on your head? That's right a crown.
5 Heavenly Kingdoms
5 Heavenly Crowns
Based on the things we do on earth we can inherit the Glory . Now these are not actual places or material things but they are symbolic to our Glory we receive as our inheritance, and we can loose this Glory based on what we do not do (WORKS).
Because salvation from the outer darkness has been achieved through the grace of Christ, then putting more focus on being saved from loosing that inheritance isn't unreasonable for most Christians. The Christian community sees this as awards we can earn through our works and Mormons sees these as rewards that we have been promised that we can loose. Well both the Christian community and the Mormon community are both correct, because not getting an award that you could have gotten is the same thing as loosing an award.
So when you ask a Mormon how you are saved then you may be talking about the salvation from hell (GRACE) and they are thinking your talking about the salvation from losing our inheritance or Glory in heaven. (WORKS) The Christian community get confused because most don't put a lot of focus on the 5 Heavenly Crowns and are just excited to be saved by Grace.
So really there are actually two things that really matters the most:
1) Salvation from Hell (gift already given)
2) Salvation from losing our inheritance (glory.)
All the other things that are out there like the history of the church, the journal of discourses is more theory about the mysteries of God then anything else and most members don't actually see that stuff as truth but more as theory to explain the mysteries of God, but even the thief on the cross didn't know all the mysteries of God.
The problem that you have is that you are classifying a group of people (mormons) as not believing in Christ when we all know that believing in Christ is an individual thing and not the membership of a particular organization. So can a Mormon read the King James bible, have Christ enter their heart, make them a believer, and through the Grace of Christ be saved? Yes, because if you believe the Bible then you would believe that the grace of Christ was a gift given to all believers even a Mormon that is a believer can also be saved and still be a Mormon.
All religious organizations have their problems and people need to realize that church organizations and the bible are just tools that help us on our journey. People that put all their trust and faith in a church organization or spiritual leader will have their heart shattered. Those that put their faith and trust in Christ will recognize that their church is just a tool and will not be troubled when they see the flaws.
The reason members of the LDS church leave the church is because their heart and faith was based on the church and Joseph Smith and not on Christ. However members that put their faith and trust in Christ are not troubled by the flaws of the church and they don't have a real reason to leave the church because they recognize the church as a tool that helps them spiritually grow.
Having members leave the LDS church is a wake-up call to a realization of where their heart was in the first place. 80% of members that leave the LDS church not only stop believing in the church but they also stop believing in God completely. So was it a victory for you to point out all the flaws of their mormon church, and get them to leave, when in fact you become the result of turning a believer in Christ into a non-believer? It would be better to help a Mormon understand that despite the flaws within the church all that really matters is their belief in Christ and not the church they attend.
@@stevenhenderson9005 thats a lie , people leave because doctrines are not biblical,,they find out the truth , not only has Joseph smith restored nothing but a false Gospel but he has totally made up His own Jesus who is created , made up his own way of salvation through works , and different categories of places after death, when we know the bible teaches only about heaven and hell , he has twisted so many things this is what happens to people who never knew the Word of God in the first place , this is what many religions do , not just LDS !
3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted-you may well put up with it!
2 Corinthians 11:3-4
@@billyuiese2229 You sound like you know your Bible. So if I was a Mormon and I only had 5 min to live, what do I need to do to be saved?
@@stevenhenderson9005
Repent,Confess you are a sinner with your tongue, accept Jesus as lord n Savior, its called sinners prayer .. must be done with tongue. 😇
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:8-9

Oh boy, here comes Steven Henderson again....
@@JB--- so how well do you know the Bible. If I were a Mormon and I only have 5 min to live then what do I need to do to be saved according to the Bible?
@@stevenhenderson9005 Watch the video, silly.
And I don't believe you are even a little bit interested in how to be saved according to the bible.
@@stevenhenderson9005 Hi Steven!
Nice to see you on this thread also.
I only have 5 minutes so I'll make it short, but I'll use Scriptures to back what I'm saying. To make sure we are on the same page, I'm talking about being saved from Hell, that is go to Heaven.
I know you will be dying soon and I just want to make sure that you will be meeting God after you die.
1. You need to know that all humans are sinners and because God is a just judge, we cannot enter into the Kingdom of God (Heaven) because of our sins.
Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
2. The good news is that God loves us and provided a way for us to be saved, go to Heaven even though we are guilty. Jesus-Christ, God's son, died in your place.
John 3:16
"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."
3. You need to put your trust in Jesus-Christ alone and repent from your sins
Mark 1:14-15
"After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of God: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news!”
4. You just have to do as one criminal on the cross. He repented and trusted that Jesus could welcome Him in His Kingdom
Luke 23:39-43
"Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at Him: “Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!”
But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment? We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
And He said to him, “ I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.”"
I haven't timed myself but I think it would take more than 5 minutes to tell you this.
I realize I need to be better at briefly explaining the Gospel. Thanks Steven for helping me realize that.
Do you find this clear enough? Is that what you believe?
I'm surrounded by Mormons where I live
They need to understand love is given not earned. Fathers love their children regardless. God sets His love upon us in spite of us.

Jancel Badabay Nah. Gilbert AZ
brandon corley seems like Gilbert is the 2nd place with Mormonism
They were such a genuine couple ♥️ I pray they come out LSD and Truly come to Jesus Christ 🙏🏼 I pray Father you may open their eyes and give them a true repented heart and see your truth in Jesus name !
Tired old anti-Mormon arguments. Get with the times buddy.
Heartbreaking
I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If you need a virtual interview during this time of social distancing, let me know. Big fan of your channel.
What? You are a fan of Ray Comfort's channel, and you are LDS? How is that possible? I don't believe you.
JB, Yes siree; dyed in the wool; true blue, through and through. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
One of my hobbies is to study Christianity (all types and sides of it and so Ray’s channel is a great source for me). I’m a big fan of Ray and LivingWaters. Yes, I’m of another church, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate Ray and his videos. I appreciate Ray telling others about Jesus Christ. In my mind, when someone comes to Christ their life is blessed. Ray helps those that don’t believe in Jesus come to Him. What’s not to like? I’ve seen in his videos that God works through Ray and in my personal church I’ve seen God work through the leaders there too. It doesn’t contradict my beliefs. Gods ways are much greater than man’s ways. I think we all benefit from discussing our beliefs without fighting where we disagree. At the end of the day, it’s ok to disagree. I enjoy watching his debates and open air preaching too. Interesting stuff.
So Ray if you want to talk while people can’t get close to that microphone, hit me up and we’ll Zoom.
If Ray Comfort reminded me of all the sins I’d committed in my life I’d think so what. I’ve repented, accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, been baptised and strive to keep his commandments. Ray Comfort doesn’t scare me.
