Very good teaching! Amen! Eternal life IS A FREE GIFT. After we're saved forever we choose either to walk in the Spirit or in the flesh. If we walk in the Spirit we'll be blest & earn rewards. If we walk in the flesh we'll be chastised. God deals with us as children. God bless.
You're the slave of the one you obey. Whether sin leading to death or to obedience leading to righteousness. If not arguing that you are saved by works, but you will know them by the fruits. The believer has been, is being freed from the reigning power of sin. Also consider 1 Cor 6. It's hard to argue you can choose to live in sin and be saved.
Acts 20:21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they MUST TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE AND HAVE FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ. Repent of sin and believe is the only way to be saved. The Philippian jailer repented since he and his household were water baptized to affirm the death of the old sinful man and the rising of the new man in Jesus.
@@2Chronicles714_One cannot repent without being drawn by the Father, and being filled by the Spirit, and receiving the Son. Putting your faith in Christ, and repenting and receiving Salvation ( The Spirit ) happens simultaneously, not one before the other.
@@ronaldorivera4674 Repentance always precedes Faith. Acts 2:38 Peter replied and said unto them REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Acts 20:21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they MUST TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE AND HAVE FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ. You must humble yourself acknowledge that you are a sinner make a decision to change your mind about your sinfulled life and turn to living for and serving Jesus in obedience.
@@2Chronicles714_ Acts 10:44-48 v44: While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard. v45: And they of the circumcision which "Believed" were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. V46: For they heard them speak with other tongues, and magnified God. Then swear Peter, V47: Can any man forbid water, that these should be baptized, "Which have received the Holy Ghost" as well as we? V48: And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him tarry certain days. Were they saved when they had received the Holy Ghost in verse 44, or only when they were baptized in verse 48? Is it the Holy Ghost that saves in verse 44 or the water baptism in verse 48? We are utterly incapable of repenting, it is God alone that circumcises the heart Deuteronomy 30, Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 36. God alone causes us to repent and follow Him, drawing us to Christ by his Spirit, it's his righteousness that saves us, not ours.
@@defendingthefaith.7889 Romans 8:6-8 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
I think the main problem is that people build a gospel on doctrine instead of building on the GOSPEL, which is the only foundation you can build on. If the Gospel is not the foundation, you will misinterpret scripture and get a false gospel. Doctrine must always be able to stand on the foundation, the TRUE Gospel.
So true. As you)we received so we walk. We started with Grace but now we desire to be made perfect by other doctrines, laws and fleshly living. Christ and the Gospel of 1 Cor 15:3&4 is our foundation.
That is exactly what grace preaching is all about.Once we realize we are sinners. We repent (change our minds is what the word repent means in the Strongs conc.) about Jesus and BELIEVE what Jesus Christ has done by way of His finished, vicarious work on the Cross.We also believe in sanctification and future glorification. We believe in doing God's work in our lives AFTER salvation but His work, not ours, to glorify only Him! We don't advocate sin or think grace gives us license to sin.God Bless
If this Calvinism (LORDSHIP SALVATION) is true, it means that God creates disposable people, people without any hope,” “It means that God not only allows, but micro-manages and sovereignly ordains, every war and every abortion and every rape of a child. It means that Calvin’s god does not love the world; he hates it because it is full of “totally depraved” individuals having apparently created us that way for his own glorification, or is it for his amusement? If Calvinism is true , it means that if that dying child that you held in your arms was not among the elect, then God did not love her. He never had any intention of loving her. She was nothing to Him. In fact, he would delight and find glory in her eternal torture in hell.” Who are really created in the image of then, God or satan? All a Calvinist can say is that we should be more grateful for our own salvation! It’s like, ‘as long as my eternal destiny is secure, as long as my life is all planned out and taken care of by God, who gives a damn about family, friends or anyone else!’ How can you be okay with that? How can anyone be okay with that? Why do I feel find this heresy morally offensive?” Only the devil should be at ease with such an abomination! According to Calvinism the lost hate God because God first hated them. They won't say it that way, but that's what it boils down to. Romans 16 : 17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. THINK ABOUT, REALLY THINK ABOUT IT! IS THIS WHO GOD IS? Truth in Love
He had in the beginning but then he started misinterpreting Roman’s 10:13 saying if you ask for salvation you receive it. It’s a gift like he said already paid for, you don’t ask for it, you believe on him for it
That is EXACTLY what Romans 10:13 means. You call upon the name of the Lord BECAUSE you Believe. God said it I didn't. It's in the Bible 3 separate times so I suspect God is making a big deal of it. Yes, I do know that a person does not have to pray a prayer out loud to be saved, but there's nothing wrong with calling upon the Lord for salvation. I personally called upon the name of the Lord on April 3 1977 at about 12:30 pm at a little newly formed Baptist church. Guess what happened? I got born again DURING that simple prayer for salvation! I did NOT get saved before or after the prayer but while I was asking for salvation I was born again. It is perfectly fine and scriptural to pray for salvation IF you understand and have heard a clear presentation of the Gospel. Btw, I have rock solid assurance that I'm saved and have ever since that day. Btw, don't just read Romans 10:13, but also read the verses right after it. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. " This is so very plain to me it's shocking so many people are preaching against a "sinner's prayer." A person who prays in faith and understanding the gospel WILL be born again instantly. Yes, believing is the deciding factor and certainly, one can be saved without verbalizing a prayer, but there is nothing wrong with praying for salvation.
@@randyd9805 I’m not disagreeing with you I’m saying that the sinners prayer is when people pray to be saved and the chapter divides in two and he’s speaking about Israel in the end times and it’s parallel to the book of Joel. You don’t ask to be saved, God’s asking you to receive him. You don’t ask for his gift you receive it by faith, sure you can do that while you’re praying but it’s not necessary
@@vickyannpaintingwithoils yeah he was right on everything else he just unfortunately misinterpreted a verse that a lot of other people misinterpret too
Praise God! Excellent Preaching of the truths of God's Word. Faith alone, in Christ Jesus ALONE. Our full redemption was wrought in the 'finished work' of Jesus Christ! God accomplished this in and through Jesus Christ but we can't add or subtract anything from it. The Victory is Christ's! We reap the benefits when we believe in Jesus,the Son of God! Salvation, righteousness, eternal life with Him, being sealed with the Holy Spirit, future glorification! What grace and LOVE! Thank you! God bless
I agree with the pastor in the video "Once saved always saved" If you truly gave your trust over to Jesus and repented and believed in Jesus Christ you are saved, and Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" However, let all men be liars and God true! If a man professes to be saved, after the fact, their works will PROVE their salvation was REAL. The holy spirit gives transformation.
How I thank and praise God. For sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under GRACE! (Romans 6:14). And see John 3:3-17. John 6:28,29,37,39,47. Romans 4:4,5. Rom 7:13-25. Rom 8:1-11 !Cor.15:1-4 Eph. 2:8,9. We are not saved by what we do or fail to do. Jesus Christ did everything necessary for our salvation. We are saved when we believe in Jesus Christ His Blood washes away our sins. His death paid our redemption price. His resurrection Justifies us.
Like the sermons... thank you for posting. There seems to be two different interpretations for Lordship salvation. One says that you must be obedient to be saved, therefore making Jesus Lord of your life. Another interpretation, which is realizing that you can't save yourself and that you need to make Jesus the Lord of your life, by entrusting your life into His hands. In one way we do have Lordship salvation (via 2nd interpretation) because Jesus is our Lord (the authority over us) & Saviour.
Not many understand the dire responsibility to separate the birth of the believer from the walk of the believer. Because most don't do this, as you said, they miss the truth of what God has for us in the now, and into eternity. Spiritual birth is from above. God does it. We trust his word on that. Then the tough road ahead, the bible calls "hard" is to make us like the Lord Jesus. If , as a believer, we choose to let the flesh rule, then the judgment seat of Christ will settle up that choice
Yep. Salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit. Christian’s are called to holiness. It’s there all over scripture. It’s like asking “can a healthy normal dog bark”….uh…YEAH! Does the barking make the dog? No. It’s just something that normal dogs do. It’s in their nature. Just like someone filled with the spirit. They are going to do good works that bring glory to the father. The works don’t save you, but the Spirit moves and works in you to bring about His good pleasure. I have no clue why we have these silly arguments.
To be fleshly (carnal) minded is to try & prove our Salvation/righteousness through works of the flesh (law-keeping), Rom8:8. To be spiritually minded is to completely rely only on the finished righteousness of Christ @ Calvary. 💥Gal3:3 "Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?"
Okay, let me first say I completely agree with you. I am not sure where we are going with this because it now sounds like you are talking my talk. Yes, faith is throughout the bible. I completely agree, and I also believe that without God regenerating your heart, you can not express faith. Read one of my comments on here that goes like this. Predestination - Regeneration - Conversion(Faith/Repentance) - Justification - Sanctification - Glorification. We have a misunderstanding.
* Acts 16:31,I like this vs. so much because it is so explicit in it's message... I will attempt to break it down in regard to it's verbs..from the original Greek text...The vs. says ,Believe on the lord Jesus Christ ,and thou shalt be saved....Believe is the main verb...it is a aorist active ,imperative of the greek verb Pistos ,to believe. The aorist tense is a point of time that you believe. This is a special aorist tense that takes this point of time and perpetuates it into infinity..The active voice ,the subject ,produces the action of the verb,you believe. The imperative mood is a command. Saved is sozo, a perfect passive participle .A participle is an auxiliary verb that supports the main verb..The perfect tense show a completed action. The passive voice unlike the active voice ,says the subject (the one believing in Christ)receives the action of the verb rather than producing this action...In this case he receives salvation. So based on the original text The vs.is more accurately translated. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and at that moment ,you are saved for ever and ever.. * Notice repentance is not mention because a spiritual dead person is not capable of doing anything to save himself.
Okay, let's look at something else. 1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Now, we will sin as long as we are in the flesh, but if we walk in the Spirit, we sin not. (1 John 1:6) As long as we are in the flesh we will not be perfect.
What do you mean by a sinner being change? dose that mean he will turn & stop that sin or do you mean b/c we have this sin natured flesh we will never stop sinning as long has we are alive.&never be able to change? without sin.now I want to ask you in1 John 1-8-10 do you believe we all have sin in our lives right now & we are never free from sin? verse8 if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves & the truth is not in us. is this a excuse for a believer to stay in sin & confess they have sin.
Chris - Steve Reid is preaching "lordship salvation". This heresy is saturated on youtube. I wouldnt be surprised if this Steve Reid was really the guy in the videos called warningthepeople or finalcall07. They both say to throw out the bible, church is an abomination and we can only earn our salvation through works. Dont even argue back with them its hopeless. I have tried.
I am sorry, what are you replying to? My question to another user or this comment in particular. If you are saying we are saved from hell and condemnation, then I would ask how does that take away the curse that Adam brought upon man? We are saved from sin, hell is the penalty of sin. My understanding anyway. Mat 1:21, Titus 2:14, 1 John 1:7, 1 john 2:1 1 john 3:5
He did avoid the text by not exegeting it. Find the context by reading and re-reading. Faith is something that starts within and manifests itself without. That's the consistent message of scripture. He's defining two different hearts. One that has the Spirit of Christ and one that doesn't (v.9) Where the heart is, the hand will (albeit imperfectly due to the flesh) follow.
I was saying never mind because there was never a debate. I answered your questions and you never attempted to answer mine. I never knew I was an osas or that this was an osas debate, as you say. So tell me, what in the world were we debating? What question did I not answer that needed to be answered? You will find it very difficult to debate if there is no issue to debate, so please, what exactly do you believe on salvation and we can go from there.
We were never in the middle, lest we deceive ourselves that we are like "prized lambs" being wooed by the forces of good and evil... We are ALL already convicted unto death because of sin... without God's unconditional pardon (of which we're neither position to affect), we're hopeless!
If I confess I have sinned then I am not a liar & is word is in me. also once I do that ,I want to confess my sin knowing I need a savior CHRIST. now verse 9 this is why I will say I have no sin. if we confess our sin he is faithful & just to forgive us of our sin& to cleans us from all unrighteousness . now if you or any believer who confess you have sin in your life then you have not confess that sin before CHRIST.then if you say you HAVE SIN THEN YOU WOULD NOT BE DECEIVED. b/c you are in sin
I DID NOT SAY I CAN'T BE TEMPTED. I have said I have no sin why? 1JHON 1-9 if we confess our sin he is faithful & just to forgive us of our sin & to cleans us from all unrighteousness . now if I don't cast down all thought's &imaginations &bring them into the captivity of CHRIST&if I don't resist the devil then I could sin but the reason I want is he will make a way escape for me&all believer's who trust&obey him we have been given authority over the enemy &his works do you agree you can also?
why would I say I have sin? 1 JOHN 1-8-10 verse 8 wlll condemn all those who are atheist who will tell you & me they have no sin also they don't believe in GOD also the have not sin in verse 10 so they are deceived & the truth is not in them. but for a believer who knows they needs a savior & knows they have sin .then the key is verse 9 If we confess our sin he is faithful & just to forgive us of our sin & to cleans us from ALL unrighteousness
...And before we even entertain or even discuss about man's free will or free choice, let's figure out first when did we ever assume that man is "neutral" to begin with, that we are so proudly convinced that we are in a bargaining position to accept or reject God's offer of salvation?
A person who has the Spirit of God, receives the things that are of God. Those who do not , do not because the do not have the Spirit of God. Repent and believe the gospel. Live out a changed life as you "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." I can write all I want on here, but the fruit of my life will decide if I am of God or not.
I am not judging his life I am judging righteous judgment. I can see his sin it goes before I can retain is sins but i will forgive him if he has wrong me. I can judge his fruit to see if he as a moat of sin in his life but if I have a plank of sin in my eye-life then I would be blind & the blind will lead the blind into the ditch-hell do you believe nobody can judge a persons fruit ? or do you believe GOD is the only one who can judge?
also when we study & grow in grace we go from faith to faith see the different churches -schools can limit you faith .now there is a church called the collage & its pastor& teachers not only have more knowledge but more faith to work in the kingdom they are the believers who are not on the milk but are on the meat see all these others church could only give you milk that will keep you crawling but it is the meat of the word that will give you the strength to overcome this world .
So this video says that God wants everyone to be conformed to the image of His Son? Verse 30 says "them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Now, did God predestinate EVERYONE to be conformed, because if He did, He also glorified them all. Which is it? God predestinated, called, justified, and glorified ALL of the ones He chose to be conformed to the image of the Son. You left off the last verse. Thought I would help
So you’re insinuating that ALL sins must be repented of and that you can’t just choose which ones you want to repent of. Literally every single one. But that is impossible and God declared it when he looked down from heaven and said “there is none that doeth good”. And this is an extreme work. And Jesus finished the work. Why the heck is Jesus so powerless to you, my friend? Do you realize that if Christ died for any of your sins, he died for your future sins as well? Cause your sins to him were future sins
@ntkmw8058 Future sins are not already forgiven. 1 John 1:9 IF we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
@@2Chronicles714_ you are saying that Jesus died for no one’s sins born after his death. You fool. Either that or youre convoluting experiential forgiveness with positional forgiveness. I take it that it’s the 2nd one. But 1 John 1:9 is not about positional forgiveness. If you had to confess your sins to be saved, no one would be saved because nobody remembers all their sins.
@ntkmw8058 To have sins forgiven there must be an atonement. God is just and the cross proves He is and when He forgaves us He is being absolutely just, because it's already been dealt with. But something is required from us to be forgiven if it is a just thing, and that's a word called repentance. Many people who believe in Jesus do not understand that you can not be forgiven without Jesus's death and without your repentance. Forgiveness is a restored reconciled relationship with one who wronged God. Yes you confess your sins to God to have them forgiven to obtain Gods grace. Repenting and turning away from sin means a recognition of my sins, which involves Godly sorrow, brokenness and a commitment on my part to change the direction of my life. Repentance is not an emotion. Its more than being grieved or feeling sorry about my sin and even having remorse. God wants you to humble yourself make a decision of the heart and mind [the will] to turn away from sin. Your life was going in one direction [sin] and you make a decision by faith to take your life in the opposite direction with His help. It is making a genuine 180° change of heart recognizing that sin(s) is against God. By turning from our sins to God we acknowledge we have disobeyed God. We have violated His law, offended his moral purity, tried to cast off his yoke of authority. It requires that we admit we have turned from God to sin. Repentance is the consequence of faith. Repent means change your mind about your sinfulled life ALL SINS INCLUDING UNBELIEF, false gods, witchcraft, self righteousness, idols etc. After repentance there must be a genuine change of life because living in sin is disobedience and rebellion against God and the end result will be destruction of the soul in hell. There must be a change in conduct and how you live. You don't have to remember every sin, Jesus knows them all. Confess ongoing sins, and ask for deliverance of them and forgiveness of all sins. Repentance turning from sin - is a prelude to holiness. Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy, without holiness no one will see the Lord. Walking in holiness begins with repentance.We should think about it as a lifetime daily discipline of our faith, necessary for a holy life as Jesus says in Luke 11:3-4. None of us are sinless. 1 John 1:9 is for already repented believers that IF they sin they are to confess that sin to Christ and ask for forgiveness.
Woah! Faith is the down payment? Wait a minute Ephesians 2:8 comes to mind "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" If Faith is a Gift of God, how can you GIVE what you don't have unless God GAVE it to you first? Doubting your salvation is not being carnally minded, nor is it wrong to do so. Either: 1) Satan is tempting you or 2) 2 Corinthians 13:5 or 3) You really are NOT saved and God is trying to tell you something, 1 John 2:19.
... and that never equates to God being unfair if He so allows a convicted sinner to go punished. But thanks be to God He showed mercy to those He has chosen to show mercy (Romans 9:15). So where is "free will" in this picture? Nowhere!
Please explain. How are devils in a state that they can not be saved? Are not men in this same position apart from Christ? Here is my reasoning. Whosoever beleiveth is going to be saved, and Acts 13:48 says "and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed." I have no problem with Faith for salvation, but even faith is given from God. Here is how salvation works. Regeneration - Faith/Repentance - Justification - Sanctification - Glorification. One more question, what are we saved from?
Sorry to disappoint, but even lost people are capable of exercising faith. Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, even Atheists exercise faith. But in the wrong things. It is the OBJECT of faith that counts. And the object of faith that leads to Salvation is Jesus Christ and what He did on the Cross. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 “After ye believed, ye were SEALED with the holy spirit of promise” Ephesians 1:13 It is not “After God MADE you believe, ye were sealed.” The arter is on the sinner to hear the gospel and believe it in order to receive eternal life. Whether they believe it or not is their responsibility, and God will hold them to that at the Final Judgement.
God "wants" all men to be saved is different than God "wills" all men to be saved. Romans 9:19-21 "19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonor?"
Again, what are you saying exactly? Your verse only agrees with what I am saying. For by GRACE shows God's sovereignty, because man could never save himself, God had to give the free gift of salvation to those He elects. Please explain yourself if you are wanting to have a normal conversation.
God is omniscient and can be nothing less. God is omnipotent and can be nothing less. An all knowing God would have to know who is going to serve Him before He ever created them. An all knowing God would have to create that person knowing that they are going to reject Him, so God would have to create him for that purpose. If we say God doesn't do this means God is not omniscient, when the bible says He is. (1 John 3:20) How can you look at Romans 8:29-30 and not see it?
God foreknew (yada).... not just about knowing but knowing "intimately"... Just like when Adam knew(yada) his wife, Eve. God already preordained an intimate relationship with them and thereby predestined them for Himself... There is already an established intimacy by the Lover even before the beloved is made aware of it. Now, what greater love story is there than this?
Oh my, you really are confused here. Paul is speaking directly to those who have been seeking to be justified by the Law, those who are teaching that circumcision is how we are justified. They are not the saved, because we read in 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us. Can you please explain to me your interpretation of Law and Faith. I do eagerly await how you view works as opposed to grace and faith.
I am not teaching everybody who has had a change of mind from false religion to the gospel of grace .is saved & they want be tempted or they want sin . what I am teaching is as a believer we are giving many scriptures to show how the true believer's are to present them selves before this wicked generation I have ask you before have you ever heard of the doctrine of perfection ? I don't believe you have . so how & why do you hate my good that I am walking in his foot steps who did no sin .
I want to show you that all churches are not the same see there are the nursery where the pastor can only teach what he knows or what he has rejected that will limit that group of believer's to only run a certain way.also there are other churches-called the grammar school were their pastor & teachers know more than the church that is the nursery they will show you how o run a different way. but then there is the high school church that knows more than both of the others why? more truth to give
Please provide for me some scripture or at least elude to the text in some way. Do not give me an opinion. Here, I'll give you an example. I say I believe in Eternal Security and Election and here is why. John 6:40 "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have EVERLASTING life: and I will raise him up at the last day." So how does one believe? Acts 13:48 "...and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed." So God ordains it.
JESUS said in JOHN 8 12 after he just commanded the woman to go & sin no more do you believe you can sin when JESUS told her & me & you & the whole world we should go & sin no more. that means stop sinning grow up be a leader . then the next verse he said this I AM THE LIGHT OF THIS WORLD HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS BUT SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE darkness is sin we who say we know him must walk even has he walk perfect without sin not go & sin some more that is disobedience
Yeah I I have a problem with someone claiming that God has told them details about how the universe works. Anyone can make such claims. It's ridiculous. Feel free to make these claims but I will feel free to ridicule them.
Now, try a bit of honesty. What sin did I say That I don't want to give up? Try your best not to lie about others. Don't try to negate the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Are you saying that you don't sin? Neither by word, thought or deed? How about the sins of omission? Or are you saying that you are a homosexual that wants someone to say it's okay for you to teach? A saved homosexual should shout from the rooftops how Jesus Christ delivered him. Wouldn't you agree?
IT SAYS HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. now if you believe you are saved by your faith in CHRIST then way dose it say he rewards only them believer's who diligently seek him. not the ones who say well I don't have to do any thing it is just faith alone..this is a warning to all just like in the next verses all who love their sinning ways they will be condemn with the wicked just like in NOAH DAYS HE WAS NOT CONDEMN WHY? HE MOVED WITH FEAR TO THE SAVING OF IS HOME .
1JHON 18-10 if we say we have no sin we deceive our selves & the truth is not in us. there are many atheist who will say they HAVE NO SIN they are deceived also when a person says they HAVE SIN then they know they need a savior. That is good but once a believer confess their sin it says he is faithful &just to forgive us of our sin &to cleans us from ALLunrighteousness Now why would I or any believer say they still HAVE SIN in their life when he said he will forgive us of ALL OUR SINS?confessed
You know details about how God thinks and interacts with the laws of time that apply to only him? You know details about how eternity effects time and how God uses these laws you claim? Your serious about this? Were you born with this knowledge?
The word says he who is forgiven much they will love much if some sins are worst than others then it should be that that believer who was the worst sinner of them all should be the one who can show other believer's how to love GOD as a example much better than lets say a person who has never been mess up in all the works of the flesh , see I believe believers' pick & chose the sin they like the best , if you say we can't help ourselves but to sin then all the works of the flesh would have ----
YES I agree now also look @ it from this point of view faith comes by knowledge the word of GOD that produces actions WORKS that the end results are the deeds that please the spirit these deeds are the fruits of the spirit in our lives that start with knowledge of who he is that we want perish b/c of the lack of knowledge .GOD say my people perish b/c of the lack of who he is to know him is to love him with our whole hart he that doth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous, be bless
YES WE ALL HAVE SINNED THAT IS THE TRUEso we are not deceived we know that but a atheist he want believe that so he is deceived but when we know why we need to confess our sin to be saved then we do it we confess our sin , then why would we as believer's say we still have sin? see this verse as been used so many time against a believer who has confess their sin then another believer who doesn't want to give up their sin tell this believer you cannot say you don't have sin it is a excuse for sin
Believing in the "Lord Jesus Christ" is not that simple. Believing WHAT about the Lord Jesus Christ? He is not some other historical character or person. It is more complex......it is a supernatural transaction regarding a supernatural subject. God wrote a Bible to tell us what we need to believe about the Lord Jesus. Is it enough to believe Jesus died for your sins, or is it necessary that you believe He was God in the flesh? It is necessary that you believe He is the "Christ." So you have to know AND believe what the Bible teaches about the Lord Jesus Christ.
First off, I don't do ultimatums. Yes or no! You don't want truth, you want to argue. Good luck with that, try someone who enjoys playing games. But here is truth. Sin is sin. Any grace teacher hates sin and never promotes it. Our Savior laid down His life and shed His Blood on the Cross to save us from it's eternal consequences. Everyone still sins until Jesus Christ glorifies us! However, we Christians go through a sanctification process under the leadership of the Holy Spirit! We obey Him!
Of course it's just my opinion. I can't disprove something that is going on inside someones head! It's my opinion in the same way it's your opinion that a Muslim who think they will have 72 virgins when they die are wrong, or people who think Elvis is talking to them from beyond the grave are wrong. That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
this is not a foolish question it is not a ultimatums I have ASK this question to many grace teachers but all they want to do is accept their sin also their pastors sin but they for some reason don't want to accept a believer who is gay he knows what you teach it is the finished work of the cross he has a change of mind by repenting of unbelief now he his a believer will you be honest if you teach grace to all who will call on the LORD will set under him &allow a gay believer to teach?GRACE
Is being “gay” a sin or is acting out on our desires a sin? If someone claims to be gay but does not indulge in homosexual activity how is that a sin? Are we sinning because of who or what we are attracted to? Is not lust a sin regardless of the object of our lust?
how can you say you have fellowship with him & don't walk in perfection 1JHON 2-28 & now little children abide in him that when he shall appear ,we may have confidence,& not be ashamed before him @his coming.why would you believe that you don't have to abide JESUS dose not do that for you also you have to abide in him that is works see this verse will condemn all who are his children but believe that when he comes back they his children don't have to keep them selves unspotted from this world.
There WILL be people in hell, obviously, nothing passes through the will of God. God is in control of everything right? Nothing is greater than God right? Then God's will is happening. God predestined men from the beginning of the foundations to be saved, and he also predestined men from the beginning of the foundations to be "PASSED OVER" for salvation. Rom 9:15 "For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
A unbeliever is dead in their sins b/c of ADAM sin. but they are carnally minded why? they have rejected or do not believe in CHRIST but as true believer's we know is teachings&we follow is doctrine there are many believer's who know who JESUS is but to truly know him we must be a follower a disciple our knowledge of who he his & our seeking him & obeying him with our whole heart .proves our faith.that we are the light of this world but those who only know who he is but don't follow him die.
"steve Reid" your lordship salvation is not true salvation. Its poison. You say christ teaches to win. We already won b/c Jesus died on the cross. Its finished and we did nothing to earn it when he died. He is the winner not US!! You are not equal to God. You are a sinner even if you spent the rest of your life sitting in a dark room staring at the walls. Holiness is unattainable and out of reach for mankind. You obviously downgrade holiness to your own level of interpretation.
Yes, we need to stop trying to downgrade holiness,. Holiness has no imperfection. We tend to only think of our big sins which lead is to assume we are getting better yet we forget to be holy would mean to be perfect. Thank God for the Death, burial and resurrection.
Also the works of the flesh all of them ,if you are a sinner you cant control your self to say no to any works of the flesh, why you believe you are going to fall sin you also believe it has power over you, so that you cannot stop the weight of sin that doth so easily besets you, now truly you know that you chose that work of the flesh you like the best ,why? if you believe you are a sinner a sinner is bound to all the works of the flesh not the ones they chose this is not a game lay down sin.
to mature in CHRIST is to study to show your self approved of GOD see right there we have to prove our faith see we learn knowledge from the bible but you are going to a church that is in the nursery you can only receive from your teachers what they believe or the knowledge they can offer you see that kind of church is a school of the nursery they have limited their leaders to only certain truths see you can only learn as much as the pastor & teachers can show that limits you walk with GOD.
PAUL is saying once we understand & know the truth now he is not saying that JESUS is the truth right here he is talking about sin we know JESUS is the truth but the knowledge of the truth that if we willfully sin after we know the truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for our sin. see we are under grace but b/c we are not under the law GOD is forbidding us to sin. see they all died without mercy under moses law who sin so we will also die spiritually if we sin & despite the spirit of grace.
the word of GOD teaches all about bridling the tongue that man is perfect also thoughts we are to bring into captivity every thought that exults itself above the knowledge of CHRIST &cast down every imagination that is not of CHRIST so when we obey these commandments then our deeds will be pleasing to GOD see our faith comes from the word of GOD that produces actions& the end result is deeds that show our fruit now that is only if we know the truth & it will make us free free from what? sin
see you doctrine keeps believer's sick in their sin saying if they obey stop sin then what PAUL said we are forbidden to sin.then you are against god who forbids us to sin even under grace. also we are under JESUS law is commandment's the law of the SPIRIT that is written on the tablets of our heart, is law is greater than the old law you may not look @ it that way b/c you don't want any laws but we are under the laws of this land the ten commandments we will always be under that law.
According to this preacher then, if God wants all men to be saved through Jesus' death, then our belief is for naught, because Jesus' death should cover all of our sins once we believe, right? Then that means there should be NONE in hell, why should anyone NOT believe in Jesus death if their life does not have to change? Easy believism, all you have to do is believe and you're good. Hell would be empty.
continued... QUESTION: What are we saved from? You never answered with any amount of scripture or even an attempt of your own opinion. Once you answer this question, then we can continue the "debate" or whatever it is.
YOU MAY HAVE NEVER HEARD A TEACHER OR A PREACHER SHOW YOU THAT .JESUS finished work on the cross is we as believer's can be free to live a HOLY life before him in purity without spot & wrinkle & to be able to walk in the spirit so we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh that is we can do all things thru CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGHENS US that is he has given us power over the work of the enemy the works of the flesh that we should not obey it&its lust you must not hate works that prove our faith
let me finish for a believer who has truly confess their sin.if they say they still HAVE SIN then they are saying to CHRIST that he is not FAITHFUL &JUST to forgive them of their sin. then they are deceived & the truth & His word is not in them.it is very plain. this verse is used to stay in sin & if you believe we all have sin then you are deceived see your doctrine teaches we all HAVE SIN IN OUR LIFE that is saying he is not faitful & just to forgive us of our sin & to cleans us from all UNR
I see now the problem. You are not replying to me at all. I have been waiting on youtube to tell me you wrote me, and I come back here and find you did not reply to me, but to the video. Okay, please,do explain those verses for me and if you can reconcile those verses together with your teaching and it does not twist scripture I will AMEN you. And not being rude, but reply to this comment. That way I do not miss your reply. But do at least to try and explain those verses.
I even know were you get this excuse we all have sin 1JOHN 18-10 if you want me to show you why a true believer can say they have no sin the truth will make you free that knowledge see you live the way you believe I live the way I believe if you believe we all are sinners saved by grace then you will sin that is a lack od knowledge but more than that it also could be a rejection of true knowledge that you want hear from you church the spirit will lead you into all truth ask me if I have sin .
Murderers, child molesters, adulterers etc.. All types of sinners have come to salvation through the finished Cross/work of Jesus Christ. The are forgiven. PERIOD! If a Person comes to salvation in Christ, was a Pedophile and has not yet dealt with that sin and flaunted it, should he/she be allowed to teach children? Especially alone? God gives the Church wisdom. The Pastor of the Church decides as a good under shepherd of Jesus Christ, who will or won't be allowed to teach.
Being saved doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences for our sin here on earth. I would never let a pedophile teach children (to use your example) no matter how long they have been saved.
see if you don't know about the gifts&about the five fold ministry to perfect the saints.I speak in what is called the unknown tongue & move in the gifts of the spirit do you believe that they are & have been done away with? if you do . then you are limited by the school -church you attend see there is the collage where they want give you milk they will give you meat that will give you knowledge & true faith were you want be crawling around on the ground , but you will be running WITHOUT SIN
this is your belief system I know it very well. Romans 6-1 what? shall we say then? shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? GOD FORBID, also verse 15 what then ? shall we sin,b/c we are not under the law but under grace? GOD FORBID. your doctrine says you don't have to stop sinning you are against what PAUL taught he said GOD FORBIDS us to sin why would you believe if you obey that you are about works? you are not justified by faith alone you must obey the word of GOD .
TO SAY HE IS STILL WORKING ON ME IS A EXCUSE all long all you been saved ?now you are right we as young believer's have to crawl before we can walk but then you have to run. see your church is teaching you how they run the race , but I am showing you also al I run this race see in HERBEWS 12 the race that is set before us if you believe you can run it with the weight of sin it will cause you to stubble &fall I am showing you that we are to run without the weight of sin who do you think will win?
MY question to you is will you set & allow a gay believer who believes the same thing you do that we are all sinners saved by grace & he dose not have to turn from his sin of homosexuality if you truly believe in grace & faith alone +.no works of turning from their sin or you turn from your sin .& all a person as to do is just believe in the finished work of CHRIST will you set & allow him to stand behind a pulpit to teach you & your family the grace message be honest YES OR NO? WILL YOU DO IT.
We are saved by WHAT??? By believing? Come on now, do not the devils also believe and TREMBLE? They show more reverence for God than you do, at least they tremble. So why are they kept from salvation? It is the same reason you EASY BELIEVISM people are not saved. You put faith in what YOU can do, when God is in complete control.
Okay, first of all, how is that even possible. Also, the bible shows proof that they believe in Jesus. Matthew 8:29, Mark 1:24, Mark 5:7, Luke 4:34, Acts 19:15. So to claim that they believe in ONE GOD shows they would have to know who Jesus was. If not, how is it even possible for Satan to tempt Jesus and says, "If you are the Son of God?" So yes, Satan knew Jesus and so did all the unclean spirits/demons/fallen angels.
Now you allow the grace message to be preach & taught by your pastor who teaches we all are sinners saved by grace & it is faith alone in CHRIST that can save a believer. even he is in sin . you allow& set under his sinning message of grace . will you allow a gay believer who has been going to your church for a long time he wants to be in leadership& teach this message of grace to all who will call upon the name of the LORD will you set & listen to him behind a pulpit teach grace YES OR NO
Your not lying, that's the thing with delusion. You may well be 100% convinced that God has given you details about the universe, and you can therefore give a genuine and passioned defence for it.
I have everlasting life through the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
Very good teaching! Amen! Eternal life IS A FREE GIFT. After we're saved forever we choose either to walk in the Spirit or in the flesh. If we walk in the Spirit we'll be blest & earn rewards. If we walk in the flesh we'll be chastised. God deals with us as children. God bless.
You're the slave of the one you obey. Whether sin leading to death or to obedience leading to righteousness. If not arguing that you are saved by works, but you will know them by the fruits. The believer has been, is being freed from the reigning power of sin. Also consider 1 Cor 6. It's hard to argue you can choose to live in sin and be saved.
If you walk in the flesh, you will die said Paul.
good preachin. believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved period. he that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. period!
Amen!
Acts 20:21
I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they MUST TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE AND HAVE FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Repent of sin and believe is the only way to be saved.
The Philippian jailer repented since he and his household were water baptized to affirm the death of the old sinful man and the rising of the new man in Jesus.
@@2Chronicles714_One cannot repent without being drawn by the Father, and being filled by the Spirit, and receiving the Son.
Putting your faith in Christ, and repenting and receiving Salvation ( The Spirit ) happens simultaneously, not one before the other.

V47: Can any man forbid water, that these should be baptized, "Which have received the Holy Ghost" as well as we?
V48: And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him tarry certain days.
Were they saved when they had received the Holy Ghost in verse 44, or only when they were baptized in verse 48?
Is it the Holy Ghost that saves in verse 44 or the water baptism in verse 48?
We are utterly incapable of repenting, it is God alone that circumcises the heart Deuteronomy 30, Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 36. God alone causes us to repent and follow Him, drawing us to Christ by his Spirit, it's his righteousness that saves us, not ours.

Romans 8:6-8
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
I think the main problem is that people build a gospel on doctrine instead of building on the GOSPEL, which is the only foundation you can build on. If the Gospel is not the foundation, you will misinterpret scripture and get a false gospel. Doctrine must always be able to stand on the foundation, the TRUE Gospel.
So true. As you)we received so we walk. We started with Grace but now we desire to be made perfect by other doctrines, laws and fleshly living. Christ and the Gospel of 1 Cor 15:3&4 is our foundation.
That is exactly what grace preaching is all about.Once we realize we are sinners. We repent (change our minds is what the word repent means in the Strongs conc.) about Jesus and BELIEVE what Jesus Christ has done by way of His finished, vicarious work on the Cross.We also believe in sanctification and future glorification. We believe in doing God's work in our lives AFTER salvation but His work, not ours, to glorify only Him! We don't advocate sin or think grace gives us license to sin.God Bless
We are to change our minds about our sinful life's meaning all sins not just unbelief.
If this Calvinism (LORDSHIP SALVATION) is true, it means that God creates disposable people, people without any hope,” “It means that God not only allows, but micro-manages and sovereignly ordains, every war and every abortion and every rape of a child. It means that Calvin’s god does not love the world; he hates it because it is full of “totally depraved” individuals having apparently created us that way for his own glorification, or is it for his amusement? If Calvinism is true , it means that if that dying child that you held in your arms was not among the elect, then God did not love her. He never had any intention of loving her. She was nothing to Him. In fact, he would delight and find glory in her eternal torture in hell.”
Who are really created in the image of then, God or satan?
All a Calvinist can say is that we should be more grateful for our own salvation! It’s like, ‘as long as my eternal destiny is secure, as long as my life is all planned out and taken care of by God, who gives a damn about family, friends or anyone else!’ How can you be okay with that? How can anyone be okay with that? Why do I feel find this heresy morally offensive?” Only the devil should be at ease with such an abomination!
According to Calvinism the lost hate God because God first hated them. They won't say it that way, but that's what it boils down to.
Romans 16 : 17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

Good preacher!
He had in the beginning but then he started misinterpreting Roman’s 10:13 saying if you ask for salvation you receive it. It’s a gift like he said already paid for, you don’t ask for it, you believe on him for it
That is EXACTLY what Romans 10:13 means. You call upon the name of the Lord BECAUSE you Believe. God said it I didn't. It's in the Bible 3 separate times so I suspect God is making a big deal of it. Yes, I do know that a person does not have to pray a prayer out loud to be saved, but there's nothing wrong with calling upon the Lord for salvation. I personally called upon the name of the Lord on April 3 1977 at about 12:30 pm at a little newly formed Baptist church. Guess what happened? I got born again DURING that simple prayer for salvation! I did NOT get saved before or after the prayer but while I was asking for salvation I was born again. It is perfectly fine and scriptural to pray for salvation IF you understand and have heard a clear presentation of the Gospel. Btw, I have rock solid assurance that I'm saved and have ever since that day.
Btw, don't just read Romans 10:13, but also read the verses right after it. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. " This is so very plain to me it's shocking so many people are preaching against a "sinner's prayer." A person who prays in faith and understanding the gospel WILL be born again instantly. Yes, believing is the deciding factor and certainly, one can be saved without verbalizing a prayer, but there is nothing wrong with praying for salvation.
@@randyd9805 I’m not disagreeing with you I’m saying that the sinners prayer is when people pray to be saved and the chapter divides in two and he’s speaking about Israel in the end times and it’s parallel to the book of Joel. You don’t ask to be saved, God’s asking you to receive him. You don’t ask for his gift you receive it by faith, sure you can do that while you’re praying but it’s not necessary
@@vickyannpaintingwithoils yeah he was right on everything else he just unfortunately misinterpreted a verse that a lot of other people misinterpret too

@@fastlane6096God be willing! Lordship salvation is a damnable false gospel.
We have enough pastors preaching in major error.

Well put pastor! God bless.
Praise God! Excellent Preaching of the truths of God's Word. Faith alone, in Christ Jesus ALONE. Our full redemption was wrought in the 'finished work' of Jesus Christ! God accomplished this in and through Jesus Christ but we can't add or subtract anything from it. The Victory is Christ's! We reap the benefits when we believe in Jesus,the Son of God! Salvation, righteousness, eternal life with Him, being sealed with the Holy Spirit, future glorification! What grace and LOVE! Thank you! God bless
Okay, never mind then. Thanks for your time.
I agree with the pastor in the video "Once saved always saved" If you truly gave your trust over to Jesus and repented and believed in Jesus Christ you are saved, and Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" However, let all men be liars and God true! If a man professes to be saved, after the fact, their works will PROVE their salvation was REAL. The holy spirit gives transformation.
If works proves salvation, there are many saved unbelievers.
@@graftme3168 ok first, this was 12 years ago. Second, what "works" are you considering works of the holy spirit that unbelievers are doing?
How I thank and praise God. For sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under GRACE! (Romans 6:14). And see John 3:3-17. John 6:28,29,37,39,47. Romans 4:4,5. Rom 7:13-25. Rom 8:1-11 !Cor.15:1-4 Eph. 2:8,9. We are not saved by what we do or fail to do. Jesus Christ did everything necessary for our salvation. We are saved when we believe in Jesus Christ His Blood washes away our sins. His death paid our redemption price. His resurrection Justifies us.
Like the sermons... thank you for posting. There seems to be two different interpretations for Lordship salvation. One says that you must be obedient to be saved, therefore making Jesus Lord of your life. Another interpretation, which is realizing that you can't save yourself and that you need to make Jesus the Lord of your life, by entrusting your life into His hands. In one way we do have Lordship salvation (via 2nd interpretation) because Jesus is our Lord (the authority over us) & Saviour.
Not many understand the dire responsibility to separate the birth of the believer from the walk of the believer. Because most don't do this, as you said, they miss the truth of what God has for us in the now, and into eternity. Spiritual birth is from above. God does it. We trust his word on that. Then the tough road ahead, the bible calls "hard" is to make us like the Lord Jesus. If , as a believer, we choose to let the flesh rule, then the judgment seat of Christ will settle up that choice
Yep. Salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit. Christian’s are called to holiness. It’s there all over scripture. It’s like asking “can a healthy normal dog bark”….uh…YEAH! Does the barking make the dog? No. It’s just something that normal dogs do. It’s in their nature. Just like someone filled with the spirit. They are going to do good works that bring glory to the father. The works don’t save you, but the Spirit moves and works in you to bring about His good pleasure. I have no clue why we have these silly arguments.
To be fleshly (carnal) minded is to try & prove our Salvation/righteousness through works of the flesh (law-keeping), Rom8:8.
To be spiritually minded is to completely rely only on the finished righteousness of Christ @ Calvary.
💥Gal3:3
"Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?"
AMEN!!!
Okay, let me first say I completely agree with you. I am not sure where we are going with this because it now sounds like you are talking my talk. Yes, faith is throughout the bible. I completely agree, and I also believe that without God regenerating your heart, you can not express faith. Read one of my comments on here that goes like this. Predestination - Regeneration - Conversion(Faith/Repentance) - Justification - Sanctification - Glorification. We have a misunderstanding.
* Acts 16:31,I like this vs. so much because it is so explicit in it's message... I will attempt to break it down in regard to it's verbs..from the original Greek text...The vs. says ,Believe on the lord Jesus Christ ,and thou shalt be saved....Believe is the main verb...it is a aorist active ,imperative of the greek verb Pistos ,to believe. The aorist tense is a point of time that you believe. This is a special aorist tense that takes this point of time and perpetuates it into infinity..The active voice ,the subject ,produces the action of the verb,you believe. The imperative mood is a command. Saved is sozo, a perfect passive participle .A participle is an auxiliary verb that supports the main verb..The perfect tense show a completed action. The passive voice unlike the active voice ,says the subject (the one believing in Christ)receives the action of the verb rather than producing this action...In this case he receives salvation. So based on the original text The vs.is more accurately translated. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and at that moment ,you are saved for ever and ever..
* Notice repentance is not mention because a spiritual dead person is not capable of doing anything to save himself.
Really? I am awaiting your reply old friend.
Thank God for people who truly preach grace through faith salvation

Okay, let's look at something else. 1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Now, we will sin as long as we are in the flesh, but if we walk in the Spirit, we sin not. (1 John 1:6) As long as we are in the flesh we will not be perfect.
What do you mean by a sinner being change? dose that mean he will turn & stop that sin or do you mean b/c we have this sin natured flesh we will never stop sinning as long has we are alive.&never be able to change? without sin.now I want to ask you in1 John 1-8-10 do you believe we all have sin in our lives right now & we are never free from sin? verse8 if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves & the truth is not in us. is this a excuse for a believer to stay in sin & confess they have sin.
Chris - Steve Reid is preaching "lordship salvation". This heresy is saturated on youtube. I wouldnt be surprised if this Steve Reid was really the guy in the videos called warningthepeople or finalcall07. They both say to throw out the bible, church is an abomination and we can only earn our salvation through works. Dont even argue back with them its hopeless. I have tried.
Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry.
I am sorry, what are you replying to? My question to another user or this comment in particular. If you are saying we are saved from hell and condemnation, then I would ask how does that take away the curse that Adam brought upon man? We are saved from sin, hell is the penalty of sin. My understanding anyway. Mat 1:21, Titus 2:14, 1 John 1:7, 1 john 2:1 1 john 3:5
He did avoid the text by not exegeting it. Find the context by reading and re-reading.
Faith is something that starts within and manifests itself without. That's the consistent message of scripture. He's defining two different hearts. One that has the Spirit of Christ and one that doesn't (v.9) Where the heart is, the hand will (albeit imperfectly due to the flesh) follow.
steve - Gal. 2:16-17: I SUGGEST YOU READ THIS PASSAGE AND LEARN IT. To believe we are sinless is as much a lie as Satan telling Eve she will not die.
I was saying never mind because there was never a debate. I answered your questions and you never attempted to answer mine. I never knew I was an osas or that this was an osas debate, as you say. So tell me, what in the world were we debating? What question did I not answer that needed to be answered? You will find it very difficult to debate if there is no issue to debate, so please, what exactly do you believe on salvation and we can go from there.
We were never in the middle, lest we deceive ourselves that we are like "prized lambs" being wooed by the forces of good and evil... We are ALL already convicted unto death because of sin... without God's unconditional pardon (of which we're neither position to affect), we're hopeless!
If I confess I have sinned then I am not a liar & is word is in me. also once I do that ,I want to confess my sin knowing I need a savior CHRIST. now verse 9 this is why I will say I have no sin. if we confess our sin he is faithful & just to forgive us of our sin& to cleans us from all unrighteousness . now if you or any believer who confess you have sin in your life then you have not confess that sin before CHRIST.then if you say you HAVE SIN THEN YOU WOULD NOT BE DECEIVED. b/c you are in sin
I DID NOT SAY I CAN'T BE TEMPTED. I have said I have no sin why? 1JHON 1-9 if we confess our sin he is faithful & just to forgive us of our sin & to cleans us from all unrighteousness . now if I don't cast down all thought's &imaginations &bring them into the captivity of CHRIST&if I don't resist the devil then I could sin but the reason I want is he will make a way escape for me&all believer's who trust&obey him we have been given authority over the enemy &his works do you agree you can also?
Amen!!!
why would I say I have sin? 1 JOHN 1-8-10 verse 8 wlll condemn all those who are atheist who will tell you & me they have no sin also they don't believe in GOD also the have not sin in verse 10 so they are deceived & the truth is not in them. but for a believer who knows they needs a savior & knows they have sin .then the key is verse 9 If we confess our sin he is faithful & just to forgive us of our sin & to cleans us from ALL unrighteousness
...And before we even entertain or even discuss about man's free will or free choice, let's figure out first when did we ever assume that man is "neutral" to begin with, that we are so proudly convinced that we are in a bargaining position to accept or reject God's offer of salvation?
A person who has the Spirit of God, receives the things that are of God. Those who do not , do not because the do not have the Spirit of God. Repent and believe the gospel. Live out a changed life as you "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." I can write all I want on here, but the fruit of my life will decide if I am of God or not.
I am not judging his life I am judging righteous judgment. I can see his sin it goes before I can retain is sins but i will forgive him if he has wrong me. I can judge his fruit to see if he as a moat of sin in his life but if I have a plank of sin in my eye-life then I would be blind & the blind will lead the blind into the ditch-hell do you believe nobody can judge a persons fruit ? or do you believe GOD is the only one who can judge?
also when we study & grow in grace we go from faith to faith see the different churches -schools can limit you faith .now there is a church called the collage & its pastor& teachers not only have more knowledge but more faith to work in the kingdom they are the believers who are not on the milk but are on the meat see all these others church could only give you milk that will keep you crawling but it is the meat of the word that will give you the strength to overcome this world .
So this video says that God wants everyone to be conformed to the image of His Son? Verse 30 says "them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Now, did God predestinate EVERYONE to be conformed, because if He did, He also glorified them all. Which is it? God predestinated, called, justified, and glorified ALL of the ones He chose to be conformed to the image of the Son. You left off the last verse. Thought I would help
Acts 16:31
Really? What in the world is that about, I wonder. I hope no one has hacked me. But then again CZcams has a lot of issues it seems
Without Lordship Salvation as a held doctrine, then repentance becomes my own personal choice of which sins I choose to give up.
So you’re insinuating that ALL sins must be repented of and that you can’t just choose which ones you want to repent of. Literally every single one. But that is impossible and God declared it when he looked down from heaven and said “there is none that doeth good”. And this is an extreme work. And Jesus finished the work. Why the heck is Jesus so powerless to you, my friend? Do you realize that if Christ died for any of your sins, he died for your future sins as well? Cause your sins to him were future sins
@ntkmw8058
Future sins are not already forgiven.
1 John 1:9
IF we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
@@2Chronicles714_ you are saying that Jesus died for no one’s sins born after his death. You fool. Either that or youre convoluting experiential forgiveness with positional forgiveness. I take it that it’s the 2nd one. But 1 John 1:9 is not about positional forgiveness. If you had to confess your sins to be saved, no one would be saved because nobody remembers all their sins.
@@2Chronicles714_ also you have no business clinging to that verse in your username. Unless you’re a Jew whose land is Israel.
@ntkmw8058
To have sins forgiven there must be an atonement.
God is just and the cross proves He is and when He forgaves us He is being absolutely just, because it's already been dealt with.
But something is required from us to be forgiven if it is a just thing, and that's a word called repentance.
Many people who believe in Jesus do not understand that you can not be forgiven without Jesus's death and without your repentance.
Forgiveness is a restored reconciled relationship with one who wronged God.
Yes you confess your sins to God to have them forgiven to obtain Gods grace.
Repenting and turning away from sin means a recognition of my sins, which involves Godly sorrow,
brokenness and a commitment on my part to change the direction of my life. Repentance is not an emotion. Its more than being grieved or feeling sorry about my sin and even having remorse.
God wants you to humble yourself make a decision of the heart and mind [the will] to turn away from sin. Your life was going in one direction [sin] and you make a decision by faith to take your life in the opposite direction with His help.
It is making a genuine 180° change of heart recognizing that sin(s) is against God.
By turning from our sins to God we acknowledge we have disobeyed God. We have violated His law, offended his moral purity, tried to cast off his yoke of authority. It requires that we admit we have turned from God to sin.
Repentance is the consequence of faith.
Repent means change your mind about your sinfulled life ALL SINS INCLUDING UNBELIEF,
false gods,
witchcraft, self righteousness, idols etc.
After repentance there must
be a genuine change of life because living in sin is disobedience and rebellion against God and the end result will be
destruction of the soul in hell.
There must be a change in conduct and how you live.
You don't have to remember every sin, Jesus knows them all. Confess ongoing sins, and ask for deliverance of them and forgiveness of all sins.
Repentance turning from sin - is a prelude to holiness.
Hebrews 12:14
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy, without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Walking in holiness begins with repentance.We should think about it as a lifetime daily discipline of our faith,
necessary for a holy life as Jesus says in
Luke 11:3-4.
None of us are sinless.
1 John 1:9 is for already repented believers that IF they sin they are to confess that sin to Christ and ask for forgiveness.
Woah! Faith is the down payment? Wait a minute Ephesians 2:8 comes to mind "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" If Faith is a Gift of God, how can you GIVE what you don't have unless God GAVE it to you first? Doubting your salvation is not being carnally minded, nor is it wrong to do so. Either: 1) Satan is tempting you or 2) 2 Corinthians 13:5 or 3) You really are NOT saved and God is trying to tell you something, 1 John 2:19.
... and that never equates to God being unfair if He so allows a convicted sinner to go punished. But thanks be to God He showed mercy to those He has chosen to show mercy (Romans 9:15). So where is "free will" in this picture? Nowhere!
Please explain. How are devils in a state that they can not be saved? Are not men in this same position apart from Christ? Here is my reasoning. Whosoever beleiveth is going to be saved, and Acts 13:48 says "and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed." I have no problem with Faith for salvation, but even faith is given from God. Here is how salvation works. Regeneration - Faith/Repentance - Justification - Sanctification - Glorification. One more question, what are we saved from?
Sorry to disappoint, but even lost people are capable of exercising faith. Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, even Atheists exercise faith. But in the wrong things. It is the OBJECT of faith that counts. And the object of faith that leads to Salvation is Jesus Christ and what He did on the Cross.
“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17
“After ye believed, ye were SEALED with the holy spirit of promise” Ephesians 1:13
It is not “After God MADE you believe, ye were sealed.” The arter is on the sinner to hear the gospel and believe it in order to receive eternal life. Whether they believe it or not is their responsibility, and God will hold them to that at the Final Judgement.
Cause devils knew how bad sin was but still committed it. And Jesus died as a human for humans. Not devils. And we are saved from hell
God "wants" all men to be saved is different than God "wills" all men to be saved. Romans 9:19-21 "19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonor?"
Again, what are you saying exactly? Your verse only agrees with what I am saying. For by GRACE shows God's sovereignty, because man could never save himself, God had to give the free gift of salvation to those He elects. Please explain yourself if you are wanting to have a normal conversation.
God is omniscient and can be nothing less. God is omnipotent and can be nothing less. An all knowing God would have to know who is going to serve Him before He ever created them. An all knowing God would have to create that person knowing that they are going to reject Him, so God would have to create him for that purpose. If we say God doesn't do this means God is not omniscient, when the bible says He is. (1 John 3:20) How can you look at Romans 8:29-30 and not see it?
God foreknew (yada).... not just about knowing but knowing "intimately"... Just like when Adam knew(yada) his wife, Eve. God already preordained an intimate relationship with them and thereby predestined them for Himself... There is already an established intimacy by the Lover even before the beloved is made aware of it. Now, what greater love story is there than this?
Oh my, you really are confused here. Paul is speaking directly to those who have been seeking to be justified by the Law, those who are teaching that circumcision is how we are justified. They are not the saved, because we read in 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us. Can you please explain to me your interpretation of Law and Faith. I do eagerly await how you view works as opposed to grace and faith.
hey
peace be with you
Where are Jesus Christ teachings.
you cannot have God without them. (2 John 1:9)
you cannot be saved without God
God bless you
I am not teaching everybody who has had a change of mind from false religion to the gospel of grace .is saved & they want be tempted or they want sin . what I am teaching is as a believer we are giving many scriptures to show how the true believer's are to present them selves before this wicked generation I have ask you before have you ever heard of the doctrine of perfection ? I don't believe you have . so how & why do you hate my good that I am walking in his foot steps who did no sin .
I want to show you that all churches are not the same see there are the nursery where the pastor can only teach what he knows or what he has rejected that will limit that group of believer's to only run a certain way.also there are other churches-called the grammar school were their pastor & teachers know more than the church that is the nursery they will show you how o run a different way. but then there is the high school church that knows more than both of the others why? more truth to give
Please provide for me some scripture or at least elude to the text in some way. Do not give me an opinion. Here, I'll give you an example. I say I believe in Eternal Security and Election and here is why. John 6:40 "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have EVERLASTING life: and I will raise him up at the last day." So how does one believe? Acts 13:48 "...and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed." So God ordains it.
JESUS said in JOHN 8 12 after he just commanded the woman to go & sin no more do you believe you can sin when JESUS told her & me & you & the whole world we should go & sin no more. that means stop sinning grow up be a leader . then the next verse he said this I AM THE LIGHT OF THIS WORLD HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS BUT SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE darkness is sin we who say we know him must walk even has he walk perfect without sin not go & sin some more that is disobedience
Yeah I I have a problem with someone claiming that God has told them details about how the universe works. Anyone can make such claims. It's ridiculous. Feel free to make these claims but I will feel free to ridicule them.
Now, try a bit of honesty. What sin did I say That I don't want to give up? Try your best not to lie about others. Don't try to negate the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Are you saying that you don't sin? Neither by word, thought or deed? How about the sins of omission? Or are you saying that you are a homosexual that wants someone to say it's okay for you to teach? A saved homosexual should shout from the rooftops how Jesus Christ delivered him. Wouldn't you agree?
IT SAYS HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. now if you believe you are saved by your faith in CHRIST then way dose it say he rewards only them believer's who diligently seek him. not the ones who say well I don't have to do any thing it is just faith alone..this is a warning to all just like in the next verses all who love their sinning ways they will be condemn with the wicked just like in NOAH DAYS HE WAS NOT CONDEMN WHY? HE MOVED WITH FEAR TO THE SAVING OF IS HOME .
1JHON 18-10 if we say we have no sin we deceive our selves & the truth is not in us. there are many atheist who will say they HAVE NO SIN they are deceived also when a person says they HAVE SIN then they know they need a savior. That is good but once a believer confess their sin it says he is faithful &just to forgive us of our sin &to cleans us from ALLunrighteousness Now why would I or any believer say they still HAVE SIN in their life when he said he will forgive us of ALL OUR SINS?confessed
You know details about how God thinks and interacts with the laws of time that apply to only him? You know details about how eternity effects time and how God uses these laws you claim? Your serious about this? Were you born with this knowledge?
The word says he who is forgiven much they will love much if some sins are worst than others then it should be that that believer who was the worst sinner of them all should be the one who can show other believer's how to love GOD as a example much better than lets say a person who has never been mess up in all the works of the flesh , see I believe believers' pick & chose the sin they like the best , if you say we can't help ourselves but to sin then all the works of the flesh would have ----
YES I agree now also look @ it from this point of view faith comes by knowledge the word of GOD that produces actions WORKS that the end results are the deeds that please the spirit these deeds are the fruits of the spirit in our lives that start with knowledge of who he is that we want perish b/c of the lack of knowledge .GOD say my people perish b/c of the lack of who he is to know him is to love him with our whole hart he that doth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous, be bless
YES WE ALL HAVE SINNED THAT IS THE TRUEso we are not deceived we know that but a atheist he want believe that so he is deceived but when we know why we need to confess our sin to be saved then we do it we confess our sin , then why would we as believer's say we still have sin? see this verse as been used so many time against a believer who has confess their sin then another believer who doesn't want to give up their sin tell this believer you cannot say you don't have sin it is a excuse for sin
Believing in the "Lord Jesus Christ" is not that simple. Believing WHAT about the Lord Jesus Christ? He is not some other historical character or person. It is more complex......it is a supernatural transaction regarding a supernatural subject.
God wrote a Bible to tell us what we need to believe about the Lord Jesus.
Is it enough to believe Jesus died for your sins, or is it necessary that you believe He was God in the flesh?
It is necessary that you believe He is the "Christ." So you have to know AND believe what the Bible teaches about the Lord Jesus Christ.
First off, I don't do ultimatums. Yes or no! You don't want truth, you want to argue. Good luck with that, try someone who enjoys playing games. But here is truth. Sin is sin. Any grace teacher hates sin and never promotes it. Our Savior laid down His life and shed His Blood on the Cross to save us from it's eternal consequences. Everyone still sins until Jesus Christ glorifies us! However, we Christians go through a sanctification process under the leadership of the Holy Spirit! We obey Him!
Of course it's just my opinion. I can't disprove something that is going on inside someones head! It's my opinion in the same way it's your opinion that a Muslim who think they will have 72 virgins when they die are wrong, or people who think Elvis is talking to them from beyond the grave are wrong. That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
this is not a foolish question it is not a ultimatums I have ASK this question to many grace teachers but all they want to do is accept their sin also their pastors sin but they for some reason don't want to accept a believer who is gay he knows what you teach it is the finished work of the cross he has a change of mind by repenting of unbelief now he his a believer will you be honest if you teach grace to all who will call on the LORD will set under him &allow a gay believer to teach?GRACE
Is being “gay” a sin or is acting out on our desires a sin? If someone claims to be gay but does not indulge in homosexual activity how is that a sin? Are we sinning because of who or what we are attracted to? Is not lust a sin regardless of the object of our lust?
how can you say you have fellowship with him & don't walk in perfection 1JHON 2-28 & now little children abide in him that when he shall appear ,we may have confidence,& not be ashamed before him @his coming.why would you believe that you don't have to abide JESUS dose not do that for you also you have to abide in him that is works see this verse will condemn all who are his children but believe that when he comes back they his children don't have to keep them selves unspotted from this world.
There WILL be people in hell, obviously, nothing passes through the will of God. God is in control of everything right? Nothing is greater than God right? Then God's will is happening. God predestined men from the beginning of the foundations to be saved, and he also predestined men from the beginning of the foundations to be "PASSED OVER" for salvation. Rom 9:15 "For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
A unbeliever is dead in their sins b/c of ADAM sin. but they are carnally minded why? they have rejected or do not believe in CHRIST but as true believer's we know is teachings&we follow is doctrine there are many believer's who know who JESUS is but to truly know him we must be a follower a disciple our knowledge of who he his & our seeking him & obeying him with our whole heart .proves our faith.that we are the light of this world but those who only know who he is but don't follow him die.
"steve Reid" your lordship salvation is not true salvation. Its poison. You say christ teaches to win. We already won b/c Jesus died on the cross. Its finished and we did nothing to earn it when he died. He is the winner not US!! You are not equal to God. You are a sinner even if you spent the rest of your life sitting in a dark room staring at the walls. Holiness is unattainable and out of reach for mankind. You obviously downgrade holiness to your own level of interpretation.
Heb_12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Yes, we need to stop trying to downgrade holiness,. Holiness has no imperfection. We tend to only think of our big sins which lead is to assume we are getting better yet we forget to be holy would mean to be perfect. Thank God for the Death, burial and resurrection.
Also the works of the flesh all of them ,if you are a sinner you cant control your self to say no to any works of the flesh, why you believe you are going to fall sin you also believe it has power over you, so that you cannot stop the weight of sin that doth so easily besets you, now truly you know that you chose that work of the flesh you like the best ,why? if you believe you are a sinner a sinner is bound to all the works of the flesh not the ones they chose this is not a game lay down sin.
to mature in CHRIST is to study to show your self approved of GOD see right there we have to prove our faith see we learn knowledge from the bible but you are going to a church that is in the nursery you can only receive from your teachers what they believe or the knowledge they can offer you see that kind of church is a school of the nursery they have limited their leaders to only certain truths see you can only learn as much as the pastor & teachers can show that limits you walk with GOD.
PAUL is saying once we understand & know the truth now he is not saying that JESUS is the truth right here he is talking about sin we know JESUS is the truth but the knowledge of the truth that if we willfully sin after we know the truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for our sin. see we are under grace but b/c we are not under the law GOD is forbidding us to sin. see they all died without mercy under moses law who sin so we will also die spiritually if we sin & despite the spirit of grace.
the word of GOD teaches all about bridling the tongue that man is perfect also thoughts we are to bring into captivity every thought that exults itself above the knowledge of CHRIST &cast down every imagination that is not of CHRIST so when we obey these commandments then our deeds will be pleasing to GOD see our faith comes from the word of GOD that produces actions& the end result is deeds that show our fruit now that is only if we know the truth & it will make us free free from what? sin
see you doctrine keeps believer's sick in their sin saying if they obey stop sin then what PAUL said we are forbidden to sin.then you are against god who forbids us to sin even under grace. also we are under JESUS law is commandment's the law of the SPIRIT that is written on the tablets of our heart, is law is greater than the old law you may not look @ it that way b/c you don't want any laws but we are under the laws of this land the ten commandments we will always be under that law.
According to this preacher then, if God wants all men to be saved through Jesus' death, then our belief is for naught, because Jesus' death should cover all of our sins once we believe, right? Then that means there should be NONE in hell, why should anyone NOT believe in Jesus death if their life does not have to change? Easy believism, all you have to do is believe and you're good. Hell would be empty.
continued... QUESTION: What are we saved from? You never answered with any amount of scripture or even an attempt of your own opinion. Once you answer this question, then we can continue the "debate" or whatever it is.
YOU MAY HAVE NEVER HEARD A TEACHER OR A PREACHER SHOW YOU THAT .JESUS finished work on the cross is we as believer's can be free to live a HOLY life before him in purity without spot & wrinkle & to be able to walk in the spirit so we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh that is we can do all things thru CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGHENS US that is he has given us power over the work of the enemy the works of the flesh that we should not obey it&its lust you must not hate works that prove our faith
let me finish for a believer who has truly confess their sin.if they say they still HAVE SIN then they are saying to CHRIST that he is not FAITHFUL &JUST to forgive them of their sin. then they are deceived & the truth & His word is not in them.it is very plain. this verse is used to stay in sin & if you believe we all have sin then you are deceived see your doctrine teaches we all HAVE SIN IN OUR LIFE that is saying he is not faitful & just to forgive us of our sin & to cleans us from all UNR
I see now the problem. You are not replying to me at all. I have been waiting on youtube to tell me you wrote me, and I come back here and find you did not reply to me, but to the video. Okay, please,do explain those verses for me and if you can reconcile those verses together with your teaching and it does not twist scripture I will AMEN you. And not being rude, but reply to this comment. That way I do not miss your reply. But do at least to try and explain those verses.
I even know were you get this excuse we all have sin 1JOHN 18-10 if you want me to show you why a true believer can say they have no sin the truth will make you free that knowledge see you live the way you believe I live the way I believe if you believe we all are sinners saved by grace then you will sin that is a lack od knowledge but more than that it also could be a rejection of true knowledge that you want hear from you church the spirit will lead you into all truth ask me if I have sin .
Murderers, child molesters, adulterers etc.. All types of sinners have come to salvation through the finished Cross/work of Jesus Christ. The are forgiven. PERIOD! If a Person comes to salvation in Christ, was a Pedophile and has not yet dealt with that sin and flaunted it, should he/she be allowed to teach children? Especially alone? God gives the Church wisdom. The Pastor of the Church decides as a good under shepherd of Jesus Christ, who will or won't be allowed to teach.
Being saved doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences for our sin here on earth. I would never let a pedophile teach children (to use your example) no matter how long they have been saved.
@@stevencook4002very true
see if you don't know about the gifts&about the five fold ministry to perfect the saints.I speak in what is called the unknown tongue & move in the gifts of the spirit do you believe that they are & have been done away with? if you do . then you are limited by the school -church you attend see there is the collage where they want give you milk they will give you meat that will give you knowledge & true faith were you want be crawling around on the ground , but you will be running WITHOUT SIN
this is your belief system I know it very well. Romans 6-1 what? shall we say then? shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? GOD FORBID, also verse 15 what then ? shall we sin,b/c we are not under the law but under grace? GOD FORBID. your doctrine says you don't have to stop sinning you are against what PAUL taught he said GOD FORBIDS us to sin why would you believe if you obey that you are about works? you are not justified by faith alone you must obey the word of GOD .
TO SAY HE IS STILL WORKING ON ME IS A EXCUSE all long all you been saved ?now you are right we as young believer's have to crawl before we can walk but then you have to run. see your church is teaching you how they run the race , but I am showing you also al I run this race see in HERBEWS 12 the race that is set before us if you believe you can run it with the weight of sin it will cause you to stubble &fall I am showing you that we are to run without the weight of sin who do you think will win?
MY question to you is will you set & allow a gay believer who believes the same thing you do that we are all sinners saved by grace & he dose not have to turn from his sin of homosexuality if you truly believe in grace & faith alone +.no works of turning from their sin or you turn from your sin .& all a person as to do is just believe in the finished work of CHRIST will you set & allow him to stand behind a pulpit to teach you & your family the grace message be honest YES OR NO? WILL YOU DO IT.
We are saved by WHAT??? By believing? Come on now, do not the devils also believe and TREMBLE? They show more reverence for God than you do, at least they tremble. So why are they kept from salvation? It is the same reason you EASY BELIEVISM people are not saved. You put faith in what YOU can do, when God is in complete control.
Okay, first of all, how is that even possible. Also, the bible shows proof that they believe in Jesus. Matthew 8:29, Mark 1:24, Mark 5:7, Luke 4:34, Acts 19:15. So to claim that they believe in ONE GOD shows they would have to know who Jesus was. If not, how is it even possible for Satan to tempt Jesus and says, "If you are the Son of God?" So yes, Satan knew Jesus and so did all the unclean spirits/demons/fallen angels.
Now you allow the grace message to be preach & taught by your pastor who teaches we all are sinners saved by grace & it is faith alone in CHRIST that can save a believer. even he is in sin . you allow& set under his sinning message of grace . will you allow a gay believer who has been going to your church for a long time he wants to be in leadership& teach this message of grace to all who will call upon the name of the LORD will you set & listen to him behind a pulpit teach grace YES OR NO
Your not lying, that's the thing with delusion. You may well be 100% convinced that God has given you details about the universe, and you can therefore give a genuine and passioned defence for it.
