- Believers who will be cast into Hell? Why speak in this way? It is because Scripture says there will be believers cast into Hell. Really? Yes. We have to use the language of Scripture even when it may not fit our preconceived notions and our doctrinal assumptions.

It’s not about believing ABOUT Jesus, it’s believing IN Jesus and his finished work on the cross and placing our faith and trust in Him entirely. Jesus is the founder and perfecter of our faith and what He starts, He will finish. We couldn’t even come to Jesus on our own, how much less can we keep salvation on our own? Just be sure that you are indeed in the faith though, and God bless!
Good point
That’s right man!! 👊😇
"Just be sure that you are indeed in the faith though". Or you'll burn in eternal torment forever and ever in the hell that God who loves you created.
Exactly. And it’s believing in the finished work of the TRUE JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, of the Bible. It’s believing the WHOLE WORD OF YHVH FROM THE FIRST WORD IN GENESIS TO THE LAST WORD IN REVELATION, because Jesus Christ is the Word of YHVH made flesh. Jesus Christ is the Creator who created all things in 6 literal days, and rested on the 7th. It’s believing Jesus when He says He is YHVH manifest in the flesh, the I AM in John 8:58 who gave Moses the law, the First and the Last as Jesus declares He is in Revelation 1:17-18 & Revelation 22:13. Jesus Christ is not an angel, He’s not a created being, He’s the eternal, everlasting God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, YHVH incarnate in flesh. Jesus Christ is the same God who says it’s an abomination for man to lay with man as he would a woman, and He hasn’t changed His mind just because this perverse world glorifies sexua| imm0ra|ity. Jesus Christ does not conform to this world, He is the God who transforms the heart of every person who is born again of His Holy Spirit, and He sanctifies them and turns them from sin and they begin to love righteousness just as Jesus loves righteousness. Jesus is a God of love, but He’s also a God of righteous wrath upon unrepentant sinners who reject His gift of salvation. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. You can’t cherry pick the Bible and create some false Jesus that is only love and never judges unrepentant sin, like many people have, and expect your false version of Christ to save you. You accept and love Jesus Christ just as He is revealed to be in the scriptures. The God who died for our sins on the cross and arose the 3rd day is the same God who destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah for their wickedness that they refused to turn from, and He’s the God who destroyed all life on the earth except for those on the ark in the global flood, and He’s the God who comes in righteous wrath in Revelation 19 and slays the wicked, unrepentant sinners. Just because this world is a den of iniquity and accepts all manner of sin and perversion, Jesus Christ does not. And that’s why the world hates the true Jesus Christ of the Bible, and they hate all Bible believing born again believers in Christ who uphold the written Word of YHVH and speak the truth of the scriptures and the true Jesus Christ of the Bible. Our Lord Jesus Christ is Holy and righteous, and He does not conform to this wicked world. Jesus Christ is the God who transforms us, not a God who conforms to the corruptible image of mankind. I love my Lord Jesus Christ, and I love that He has changed me into a new creature in Christ. Praise Jesus that I don’t live the life of sin that I used to before Jesus pulled me from that darkness. It’s only by the power of His Holy Spirit that I am changed. Thank You Lord Jesus.🙏🏻🙌🏻✝️👑
@@MrRezillo, the only reason you criticize the righteous judgement of our Holy and sinless God and Creator, who manifest Himself in the Lord Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father YHVH, is because you are like all mankind, and fallen in sin. You choose to rebel against Christ rather than receiving the free gift of salvation He offers you because you don’t want to turn from your sins. You create the Hell you will enter if you remain in unbelief and unrepentant sin. Your very act of rejecting your Creator has created your damnation in Hell unless you repent and receive Jesus as your Savior. Jesus does love you, and He showed you how much He loves you when He died for you on the cross, and arose the 3rd day. Jesus doesn’t expect you to turn from your sins on your own. He will send His Holy Spirit to live in you, and the Holy Spirit will literally take away the desire to do the sins you struggle with. Jesus frees us from bondage to sin, and it’s only being freed from sin by faith in Christ that we even understand the bondage of the sin we were in before Jesus saved us. You will be a completely different person and have actual joy and peace in Christ that you never knew was possible. But only you can choose to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and allow Him to transform you from within. An unloving and unjust God is a God who just allows sin to destroy all that is good and never punish in judgement the unrighteous sins of mankind. You would never call an earthly judge who just allows murderers, rapists, thieves, etc., to walk away without any punishment for their crimes as being a good and righteous judge, nor would you call an earthly judge who sentences murderers to death, or sentences other criminals according to their crimes as being unjust, but you turn around and call our Creator who punishes people for the same things, in righteous judgement, as being unloving and unfair. That’s hypocrisy. It is because of His love that Jesus Christ judges unrepentant sin. I would not want a God who bowed to the will of man and allowed evil to go unpunished. But regardless of what you think of Jesus Christ, it doesn’t change the fact that He is our Creator, and He will judge and punish the sins of the unrepentant, and He is righteous and just in all His judgements. Your unbelief doesn’t change who He is, and it doesn’t prevent Him from judging your sins in righteous judgement if you remain unrepentant. You don’t get exempted from standing before Jesus in judgement of your sins unless you receive Jesus as your Savior, and if you receive Jesus as your Savior, then He has paid for your sins and you will not be judged for your sins, but rewarded for receiving Jesus as your Savior and allowing Him to change you from within. He is extending His mercy, grace, and love towards you with nail scarred hands, but only you can receive His gift of salvation.
The scariest words you could ever hear, “I never knew you”
But for the True believer it's an affirmation... An affirmation of eternal security! once saved always saved! Remember he said,, I never knew you,,, never knew you !!not ,,I knew you but now I don't know you..
@JESUS IS LORD JOHN 3:18 that is a fact!
Exactly, it says "I never knew you", Jesus doesn't say, " I used to know you but some how you've changed", because if he doesn't know you now, neither then
I never knew you
Till today hi there sir
@@RudyG210 Hello
I think the title is very misleading and potentially damaging
It’s not true believers that put their faith in Jesus as their Lord and Saviour that will be cast into hell but people who are believers in name only.
Satan and the demons believe in Jesus.
I think that’s enough said
Agree whole heartedly. AKA False Doctrine.
100% agree - great point
This is true Eve!
Truly. I think he missed what's in Romans 10:9-10.

How can the father become the son and then become the holy spirt
This makes no sense to me at all
Who was Jesus talking to when he prayed to the father ?
Who’s Will was he doing when he said not my Will but yours ?
Who was he asking to take this cup away from me if it is possible ?
Who was he calling out to My God My God why have you forsaken me.
Do you really think God has purposely set out to mislead people, and trick people into believing he had a son but really it was The father himself becoming a son
God wants us to worship him
He hasn’t set a cryptic puzzle for us to solve
He wants us to know him and love him
All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved
And burn in pain forever if they don't.
And be given the right to become the Sons of God if they do.
And since they cant both be true at face value, this means there must be something you need to dig for I would say, for God is not a liar.
Let me know if you have trouble, and I shall be happy to explain it to you.
Dont take it so hard rezillo, those you speak of dont want to know the Lord. The eternal burning and pain you speak of is simply the result of choosing not to be in the presence of the source of light and life. He gives those that dont want life what they want.
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”"
John 10:27-30
@Yokhana: Amen. We agree 100%.
1 "My Sheep hear my voice"
2 "I know them"
3 "they Follow me"
He wont cast you out and no one can snatch you away. True enough. He didn't say you couldn't leave on your own or that you must remain a sheep.
He who endures unti the end.
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:15
Mr. Piotrowski: We affirm the truth of John 3:16. We also affirm the truth of John 2:23-25 and John 8:31, where both describe certain people as having "believed" - same word ("pisteuo/pisteuon"), past tense, as John 3:16 does in the present tense - who in fact are not regenerate. All translations from the KJV 400 years ago (and beyond, to Wycliffe) use "believed" in those verses to describe the people referenced. One could also cite Demas. Paul would not be mentioning him as a ministry partner in Colossians and Philemon if he knew him to not be a believer - and Paul goes on to describe Demas's apostasy in 2 Tim. 4.
Did the foolish virgins believe?
@@BrotherTris um fake faith i guess?
Brother Tris Yes. Just like the wise virgins, they all had oil in their lamps, symbolic of the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers. The difference is that they didn’t have that extra supply.

Mate this is misleading, no beliver will be in hell, only a counterfeit Christian
@shun s: Thank you for writing. I never said a true, regenerate believer will be condemned. I said, using the language of Scripture, that there are those who are said to have "believed" - from John 2 and John 8 as examples (I could have used Demas as well, and let's not forget Judas. Was Judas a "true, regenerate believer? No, but he certainly appeared to be one until he betrayed Jesus, right?). The parable of the seeds is another example - the second and third seeds "believe" for a while and then fall away - but they "believe," right? Just not a true, salvific belief which gave them eternal life.
@@jeffgccsatx Although I completely agree with the content of your video, may I respectfully suggest that the title be renamed “Jesus will send some *Professing* believers into hell” in order to clarify your point, and not detract from the message itself?

@@danieldarlio2163 Friend, judge with righteous judgement. I never disputed the content of the message but was suggesting a different title in order to make himself more clear.
If the goal of the message is unto salvation and not controversy over the title, then I think it’s worth looking into.
@@jmf0113 there's actually no need to change the title. There'll actually be believers who would be cast into hell. Not they they weren't true believers but because they didn't exactly understand what it meant to be "in Christ alone".
The verses that always get me are "depart from me I never knew you" and "I will spit you out of my mouth because you're lukewarm". I want to give Jesus ALL my heart ALL the time. I'm trying my best...
Matthew 7:21-23. Jesus is speaking to those who are trusting in there own works to earn their way to heaven. They never did the will of His Father in heaven. John six:40 and John six:29 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that all that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up on the last day, Jesus, answered, and said unto them, this is the work of God, that ye believe on the one He has sent.
Remember ,,he said I never knew you ,,,not ,I knew you once but now you screwed up so it's too late.. if you know him ,he knows you! Have peace in that 👌 and all who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved!
Works salvation
If you gave Jesus your heart!! you are a new creation and you have a new heart!! 👍 Also the lukewarm statement used there as often used on a context and does not refer to salvation of the believer.. he's talking to a specific Church..
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. How do you want to have a zeal for God. Is It by the Law ? How do you want to have a pure heart ? Is it by doing good. Beloved it is all by faith. When you hear the voice of God if you are his sheep you recognize is voice you believe and you obey. This is how Abraham was saved. This is how we are saved. God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us.
Folks take heed and make sure you dont fall into the trap of the enemies condemnation. Jesus himself said those who hear the gospel and believe will be saved..those who don't believe will be damned...there are none who will be damned who have believe in the gospel of the LordJesus Christ. Trusting that God is faithful who hath promised. It makes me sick when i hear people make these claims. Those who dont endure and continue to the end are only counterfeits..John said they didn't continue with us because they were not of us..for if they had been of us they would have continued with us..but they went out from us, that it may be made manifest they were WERE NOT OF US. The real question here that must he asked is this..have you truly repented and trusted in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross..we all have sins that easily beset us and being born again we can now stand against them. But that stand will NEVER, and i mean NEVER, absolutly NEVER ever gain us any approval from God. We fight because we are saved, not because we are trying to be saved or remain saved. Jesus himself is the author and finisher of our faith. Remember this, HE THAT BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU SHALL FINISH IT. That HE is God Almighty...so if its him in Jesus Christ who called us to walk this path, he will see to it no matter what, that we remain on it, and continue on it until the end. We are his children now
If you stumble in sin, just repent and confess it and keep fighting the good fight. Your not damned or condemned by God because you've "sinned to many times" thats Satan's doctrine to try making a person who should be living in victory feel they are damned and hated
@Jesus Christ is LORD: Thank you for taking the time to comment. Our intent here is to honestly have people look at how Scripture describes certain people. Yes, John 3:16 is true. Yes, John 20:31 is true. But so are John 2:23-25 and John 8:31, where Scripture is clear that those who are said to have "believed" are in fact not justified. "Believed" is not merely our word there, it's the word every English translation note going back to Wycliffe and the KJV have used in those two passages to describe what those people did, as it translates "pisteuo/pisteuon" and one cannot say that the word takes different forms in all cases because the word as translated in 2:23 is the same form as in John 20:8, describing what "the other disciple" (John, himself, perhaps?) did when "he saw and believed." Both 2:23 and 20:8 are in the aorist, active, indicative. God will preserve His people...Scripture lays responsibility on men to endure to the end in faith and we do not deny that. Scripture also, though, does what we describe here - sit states that some "believe" who are in fact not regenerate... who were not born again by the will of the Father and given an imperishable inheritance (1 Peter 1) kept in heaven for them, who do not have faith guarded by God's power.
@@PartlySunny workers of iniquity.
You know, years ago, this would have upset me, the video that is, but I was also deep in sin and trying to hide behind a unsure statement of faith. But by God's grace, His mercy, he led me to this channel, heard sermons on testing and working out our own salvation. Got me to actuaook at the word, look at myself. If I say I believe, go to church, put Christian on my dog tags, yet still look at porn every night, try cheating on my wife, drive drunk to where I can barely walk inside every night, does that mean I truly believed? Or did I just believe that I believed? Again, by his His grace I've truly repented and come to know his power of regeneration of the heart, experienced His power to give me new desires. Brother, before you condemn their message, pray long and hard, read and re-read His words.
@Jesus Christ is Lord
This is true, but you fail to bring that God looks at the heart.
One can belief in what your saying but live a life of sin, and what your saying is just repent!
You fail to mention that we can’t use Jesus sacrifice as a get out of jail card because that’s trampling on the blood of Christ. We must take up our cross daily. Now, it is good to repent don’t get me wrong, but I know people who keep on sinning and have no condemnation. This is very dangerous as I will explain.
Yes there is no condemnation in Christ, but that’s as long as we have the right attitude.
It boils down to this,
Those who are remorseful of their sin
Those who use the blood to excuse their sin
Again, this is a heart attitude towards God, and The Man ain’t no fool. That’s why He says depart from you workers of iniquity.
It doesn’t matter what they did for Him, the fact remains you they used His sacrifice as if were nothing to them.
We must run the race I agree, but a lot of people don’t and cop out at there’s no condemnation.
@@jonnybuttsleo3947 I think there is a difference: condemnation comes from Satan (you've really gone too far now, you might as well forget about God) and conviction comes from the Holy Spirit (you've done wrong come back to God and repent). We as Jesus followers should want the conviction the Holy Spirit brings as God is finishing the work he started when we endure.
There will be no true believers in Jesus Christ cast into hell; exactly zero. Anyone who says otherwise does not understand the gospel at all. Christ is ENOUGH!
Please read my comment above. The title could be improved by distinguishing and clarifying the terms, since logically (A) cannot be (B) here. In this context, that would be a logical fallacy.
God bless you.
Amen
@Saykat Das "Putting Jesus first" and "obeying" him is NOT how a person is saved. A person is saved ONLY by true BELIEF in Jesus Christ, plus and minus NOTHING! There will be PLENTY of people in heaven who did NOT "put Jesus first" in their lives and did NOT obey him, MANY; but they will be in heaven because they truly BELIEVED. "For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." Romans 4:3
@OnSafari247: Amen. Yes, no true believers in Christ will be cast into Hell. But that was not the point of our video. Our point was to try to get people to examine whether they are the people of John 2:23-25 or John 8:31 - and then have them truly repent and believe in Jesus Christ so that they will be saved. Another commenter mentioned 2 Cor. 13:5 - yes, examine ourselves to make sure we are true believers who have believed in Christ and Christ alone for salvation.
@@OnSafari247 superficial belief is overrated in the church today
"You believe in one God, that's good! Even the demons believe, and they tremble" -James 2:19
It's called demon believism or easy believism
Don't pretend like that doesn't exist too
The video never mentions true believers
Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.
I'm always in this place... Please pray for me
Sarah Sa not sure what you expect others prayers to do for you, you either trust Jesus or you don't which is the difference between ending up in heaven or hell
Jesus will help you sister.
I been there too but He has taught me little by little how to stay steadfast in tribulation.. I pray the Lord will give you new strenght.
Praying for you. How are you doing now?
Man! This video is going to make alot of people doubt their salvation, and possibly put great fear in them....
Good! If sin still reigns in a believers life, fear is a good thing if it leads to change. You can't be born again and still hold on to the "old man"! Metaphorically speaking, It needs to be crucified! Don't just go to the cross. Go through it! Jesus bled, died and rose again to not only forgive our sins but set us free from sin!
@The Little Patriot Paul said that would happen to some in his first letter to Timothy. And the writer of 1st John took it as far as saying those that fell away were not really converted to begin with. They were just playing church for season! 😁
No what is says is there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ. Also says in John all the Father has given me I will not lose. This is totally a twisting of scripture. If this is true John is lying and so was Paul. I would never trust this man on anything
@Bat Lover sin is breaking the law so if there is no longer any law, it's not possible to sin, so we can do whatever we want.
Read Matthew 5: 17-19. Keep in mind that heaven and earth are still here and not all of the words of the prophets have come to pass so not all has yet been fulfilled.
So you're calling Jesus a liar?
@The Little Patriot Tou need to go to JW.org and learb how to save yourself.
All I know is if my salvation depends on me im done it over. Like Paul Washer said (I've sin enough this morning to be sent to HELL) If what Jesus did on the cross is not enough ill be going to HELL. But I believe the what Jesus did is enough and I will not look on to myself I will look onto Jesus and that is enough
Paul Washer has said the same thing this man said. This video is not saying look to you. Tim doesn't even say that on this Channel. What it is saying, and what the Bible explicitly states, is that a change WILL take place. The holy Spirit enables is to not make a practice of glorifying and living in habitual sin. Unfortunately, there are many "Christians" that are deceived.
@@LetsTalkChristMinistries AND YET JUST THIS MORNING I'VE SIN ENOUGH TO BE CAST INTO HELL.
@steven brinkerhoff Mr. Brinkerhoff: Thanks for commenting. May I ask where I said salvation depends on us? If you're referring to repentance, that's nothing more than what Jesus told people to do (Mark 1:15... "Repent and believe the gospel"). He told the apostles to preach "repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Luke 24:47). Peter told inquiring Jews in Acts 2 when they asked what they must to do be saved, to repent, right (Acts 2:38). Jesus and the apostles were not making justification dependent upon us - they were telling us what our responsibility is in order to receive salvation as a free gift from Christ because we cannot do anything which merits favor in the sight of the Father.
@@jeffgccsatx Sir Good Day it's quite ambiguous to be honest. Biblically it all boils down to Regeneration. But of you say that regenerated individuals will fall away and go to hell then perhaps I'll disagree with you. You mention Matthew 24:13 yet you haven't mentioned 1 John 2:19.

Isaac: Yes, it does. It also says in John 2:23-25 and John 8:31 that certain people "believed" but who were in fact not born-again. They're all true and not contradictory. As Mr. Wilson has commented, the truly born-again will keep His commandments. 11 of the Twelve did. Judas didn't, but the 11 certainly identified Judas as a believer, didn't they - at least until he betrayed Jesus?

If salvation can be lost as a result of something we do, then it follows that salvation must be gained as a result of something we do; which is contradictory to what the Bible teaches.

“It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, it is Christ.”

“Sin is great, but Christ is greater.”
I couldn’t find the specific quote, but something I heard once was this, “If salvation rested upon the will of man, all men would be lost.” That’s to say that none of us want salvation enough to gain it on our own or to keep it by our own power or will, prior to salvation and being secured with the Holy Spirit, neither of us want it and we all are enemies of God.

I’ve read some of these comments and disagree with a lot of them, I agree with this message like Paul Washer mentioned in oneve his sermons, the devil and demons know that Jesus is the Son of God so they believe in Jesus so just believing gives me no confidence of my Salvation, once you are a true follower of Christ you will repent and turn from your wicked way because He who began a good work in you will finish, God comes for His children who go astray, He will convict you of your sin, if you belong to Him, you belong to Him!!!
True it did say "nor any created thing can separeate you from my love again" and since we are created we count in that "nor any"
I think its like this GOD sees sin as a sickness (witch it is) if your child is sick you would hate the sickness not your child. And on this earth we are not truely free from sin thats why we have to fight it. GOD would not tell us to fight a dead corps thats pointless. In other words i agree with you
I sin; but living in it for a bit or committing it makes me feel horrible; it’s when I confess and ask for forgiveness that then I feel better. Yes, there are times when it’s enjoyable but at the same time not really. I know that sounds weird; it’s like I am unable to live a life a of sin; if feels horrible when pursuing things I should not; it’s when I confess and ask for forgiveness that I come back to a normal state. I still struggle with issues of salvation and I guess by sinning I reap the lack of security I long for. I have also been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and that plays into it. But maybe, just maybe the fact that I am unable to give myself completely to sin is one evidence that I am truly one of the Almighty God’s children; I want to be his; I want to be with HIM in heaven; I surely don’t want to suffer in hell I’ll tell you that! I want to experience his great love for me; I think I honestly had glimpses when I was finally baptized but I sin in a way I should not be. I hope to be with Jesus in Heaven.
DC • yes very true indeed!but Mr.Paul Washer explained it clearly and careful..in good theology about this topic he didnt left us with just confusions.
@Tyler Dunford I was saved in the bunk of my semi truck the first time I listened to Paul Washer, it was titled “the most shocking message” I believe on CZcams, God spoke to me that day and showed me how pitiful and lost I was. I’ve listened to hours upon hours driving cross country to Paul Washer
Paul Washer convicted me two years ago. He has a sermon called Judgment Day. It set me straight. Another sermon he did on the holiness of God changed me. Haven't been the same sense.
The Gospel itself is Salvation through faith what he forgot to mention is that once you are saved nothing can separate you from God's love that is in Romans. Every body sins it doesn't matter where you are in your faith. Pride can blind you with self righteousness without you knowing it. There are 2 truths in a Christian life the first is we still have a fallen nature in us the second is we have a new nature united with Christ. We need to be careful how we interpret scripture.
So sad to hear a so called "Theologian " state eternal life is eternal to those who believe and eternal life isnt eternal for those who believe.
If it was eternal life, then it is eternal life. If it is lost then obviously it wasnt eternal to begin with. Eternal life isnt based, or sustained on us and our ability to keep it but on Gods grace to give it in the first place. This guy has taken context out of context to a new level.
Amen
Eternal life is ETERNAL so long as you got it. If you throw away eternal life, you will perish.

The early Christians believed you COULD BE SAVED , and then forfeit your Eternal life.
safeguardyoursoul.com/what-early-church-fathers-said-about-eternal-security/
@@oldclassicwildmanchris2007 impossible if its given as eternal. The promise from God is that none can perish. It wasnt eternal if it's gone. The eternal Kingdom doent have conditions either.
Eternal life is the LIFE of Jesus that lives within a believer. Those who possess this LIFE will repent, believe, and persevere. Those who don't do not possess this LIFE. So they don't have eternal life.
@Paul Summers: Thanks for writing. I did not say that those who have eternal life lose it. I said, using the words of Scripture, that there are those who are said to believe who don't have eternal life. Scripture makes that distinction, not I. Might I ask how we would look at and define an apostate? An apostate is one who professes faith, then turns their back on that faith, renouncing it, right (cf. Heb. 6:4-6). Now, did that person have eternal life when they believed? No. They never had it. They only appeared to have had it. Think of the people we both likely know who believed for years... who were in our churches... but who decided to walk away from Christ. Did they believe? Yes. Were they regenerate? No. Were they given the gift of eternal life? No. And Scripture says those people exist - that's the point of our video. Thanks again.
I was explaining this very topic to several people. By the Grace of God has he led me to this video.
the demons also believe and tremble....
Titan,, yes that is true! But the demons do not embrace and accept and believe in Jesus Christ as their savior.. I wonder if it's possible for them to do that at this point?

No they cant....

Because His standard is absolute perfection.

Angels rebelled with satan and were cast out of Heaven
You and Me we are only given One Life after that it is Judgment. No do overs
@@twistedtitan5485 yeah I know what you're saying... My thought was what if they put saving faith in Jesus Christ before the final judgment ?what would happen??

The difference is
There is no probation period when you deal with God.
There is no reconcilation between Angel and God
When they rebelled their doom was instantly pronounced.
28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
@@twistedtitan5485 yeah, that is a good point.. also remember Christ had hot yet died and rose from the dead yet for the forgiveness of our sins..so they the demons did maybe not know he was truly the Messiah at that point.. even though they knew he was the son of God.. but my point was being,, God in his infinite Mercy,, and love! May give them a chance, if they would still turn and believe in Christ for salvation.. there are gray areas here that the Bible doesn't explicitly explain and it is in God's hands how he will deal with things such as this.. my part it's just speculation but I choose to lean on the love and mercy of God until the final judgment..
The speaker is right when he says that you can know you are saved if you have repented, but even that point needs clarifying: how do you know if you have repented? Many will look at the ongoing reality of sin and lose their assurance, asking if their repentance was truly genuine.
I'm reminded of a video by Paul Washer called 'Don't Expect a Perfect Repentance.' The key to knowing your repentance was genuine is not perfection but fruit. Can you see growth in your life? Are you desiring to see more? Is repentance itself an ongoing reality? These are the key questions to ask and they help us understand that tension between the reality of repentance and that of ongoing sin.
Absolute facts! Biblical truth that strikes at the heart of man. Those who have ears, let them hear.
@Raj Singh True but You need to study with JWS.
Absolute facts true but true to the Jewish audience who Jesus was called to minister to and not to us gentiles who never had doctrine during Jesus ministry. There was still the partition of separation between Jews and Gentiles which would not be removed until the mystery of reconciliation would be revealed to the world by Paul in ( acts 17:30-31 ), Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, BUT NOW" commands all men everywhere (Jews and Greeks) to repent", because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He had given assurance of this to all ( Jews and Greeks) by raising Him from the dead.
Is it BECAUSE: Because you decided my sacrifice was NOT SUFFECIENT FOR YOU, as We warned, We will owe no man a thing- But that verse Pride tried to run over. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC STILL USES INDULGENCES to bnargain filthy lucre to move soluls from purgatory to the promised land./ included "Meritorious Grace": Who cannot see the Devil coming up with that one. Paul does say, that the Father uses common grace in the hope that a sinner will say, "How could I possibly have enjoyed a good life with such sin in my heart" and "almost, cash in his sin chips, for Christ before death" Now those are the riskiest odds in the Universe. That is what Metanoi- rep[entance means, More relief and gratitude than sorrow
This type of doctrine exhausts me
I agree with John...why?
... I know what you mean 👊😇
@@underwaves75 You quoted Paul twice and John once. John said, now by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments, and if we practice sin then we are of the devil. Read all of First John. Paul said to work out your salvation with fear and trembling… He also said to obey even more now that he was absent from them, He also said to examine and test yourself if you were actually in the faith. And lastly Paul urged us to not be deceived about those who do not inherit the kingdom. The road is truly narrow and there are few who find it. Everything they said lines up with what Jesus said. He said the path was difficult and narrow. If we’re honest we want it to be broader, always looking for ways to justify sin and make it not that big of a deal. We want a feel good message that pats us on the back. Jesus had compassion always...but also said to go and sin NO MORE. Remember, we are to crucify the flesh with its passions and lusts, and well, that’s painful. The path is truly narrow and difficult.
Predestination is false
I know what you mean!! because this is not doctrine ,,,!there's no such thing as 2 believers.. you're either a believer in Christ in which you are saved forever or you're not a True believer.. Jude 1:24.. he is able to keep us from falling.
Romans 10:9 says, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved." I don't see any conditions on this.
There are conditions. You must take the whole counsel of God, not isolated scriptures. You can read more here: tinyurl.com/yybeg59x
@kinderdude: Please understand that in making the video we are not denying the glorious truths of your passage in Romans, or John 3:16, or Matthew 11:28-30. What we want people to do, at the same time, is to not deny the fact that Scripture itself says there is a type of faith which does not grant eternal life - but only appears to do so, as exemplified in John 2, John 8, the parable of the sower and every single person who believes but at some point falls away (e.g. Hebrews 6:4-6 - written, recall, to those who are professing faith). Thanks.
@@jeffgccsatx thanks for the info! I too believe that we must repent of our sins, however, ALL sin is willful. I don't think salvation is about trying harder. I agree with Paul Washer who said the Gospel is not about trying harder, it's about giving up and submitting to Jesus. I confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior and ask for forgiveness of sins that I know I have committed. I am hoping to hear on that day, "Well done thy good and faithful servant."
@Raj Singh I don't think you understand the trinity. The trinity is one God made of three beings, who together are God.
@@thewhole_picture1743 Nobody understands the trinity, . that is because it is a satanic lie.
Wow very well said! Reminds me of Matthew 7. I thank God that as I look back I can see how He has caused me to follow Him more and more and the world less and less. It’s been a slow process but it’s definitely happening. I pray He continues to wean me off of the world, away from sin, and closer to Him. For His glory and because I need that.
100% Bible-based, Christ centred message.
May I prayerfully suggest, in terms of using the term 'believer' in a contrastive way.
See, you are either (A) a believer and follower of Christ, or (B) you are not.
Otherwise, there is a logical fallacy here, A cannot be B, in this context, unless both were true (a paradox). Which as is explained in the video is clearly not the case.
Hence, how about differentiating the two, by using:
(A) "believers"
(true followers of Christ)
(B) "so-called believers"
(not followers of Christ)
May God bless you and keep you.
In Christ, Amen.
Pretty much this. The title is kinda click-baity
@Jesus Christ, Bible, Bible study: Thank you for writing. I believe we made it clear in the video that no logical fallacy has been committed here, with no violation of the law of non-contradiction ("a cannot be non-a at the time and in the same relationship"). That's why I equated "believers" and "believers" with "Israel" and "Israel." "Israel is used in two senses in Romans but no contradiction occurs. With John writing the breathed-out words of God in John 2 and using the aorist, active, indicative of "pisteuo" and then doing the same thing in John 20:8 to describe the "other disciple" (John?) who saw and believed, we're just using the language of Scripture. Both, in John 2 and John 20 are said to have "believed" (as every English translation from Wycliffe, down through the KJV and to today's versions) translate "pisteuo." Perhaps watching the full sermon, linked in the description, might help.
The book of James (Ya'akov) speaks of this, too. Faith AND works is proof that you are a believer!
Sadly, repentance is seldom preached for the pulpit today. YAH open their eyes and ears..
That may be true,,, but that depends on the definition of repentance. If we're talking about the Greek word metanoia that means to change one's mind.. and remember the goodness,, kindness, patience and love of God draws people to repentance,, Romans 2:4.
@Jay Heinz , greetings. The Hebrew ( Teshuvah ) is the repent I refer to.
@@billdaniels8784 oh yes bill,,, I forgot about that word ...that's mainly used in the Old testament isn't it? And the Septuagint?
Believers who'll be casted into sheoll??... I don't believe that...
Mr. van der Merwe: One must answer the question of Demas and Judas. Both were "believers," were they not? Now, to look back at them with 20/20 hindsight and say "they were not true believers" would be accurate, but do you think Paul would have mentioned Demas as a ministry partner twice (Colossians and Philemon) if Paul did not consider him to be a true "believer when writing those letters. We know that when Paul wrote 2 Timothy later, things had turned and Demas had walked away and shown himself to indeed not be a true believer who would endure to the end.
Even the Demons of Hell BELIEVE. Let that sink in and study that friend
Hey Dirk van der Merwe, there are professing believers who will definitely be cast into Hell, and if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you’ll come to believe it also, for He said, “On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and cast out demons in Your name, and do many mighty works in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you evildoers'"
(Matthew 7:21-23)
This doesn’t mean that they were genuine believers, but that they were professing believers. They may believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that He died for sinners, but they don’t have saving faith. Saving faith is a repentant faith.
“The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;”
(1 John 2:4)
May you look to His word as the source of what you believe, and submit to what He says there, friend.

@Raj Singh
Hey Raj, if scripture is your authority for all truth, then may I ask you how you would approach Genesis 1,
“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
(Genesis 1:26-27)
Let Us (plural) make man in Our image (plural),
according to Our likeness (plural).
God created man in His image (singular), etc.
You see plurality to this one God. This is scripture, not man made doctrines.
As far as John 8:24, that you mentioned, have you considered that in the same conversation, Jesus mentioned how Abraham saw Him (Jesus)? The Lord Jesus, before His incarnation, appeared to Abraham and judged Sodom and Gomorrah. Notice something very revealing of Christ,
“Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven,”
(Genesis 19:24)
The LORD Jesus was on the earth raining down brimstone and fire FROM THE LORD IN HEAVEN.
The text you mentioned, in John 8, rather than condemning trinitarians, actually condemns those who reject the deity of the three persons of the Godhead.
There are many examples in scripture, but may I ask how Jesus could say this in a oneness view,
"I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father."
(John 16:28)
How can He leave Himself and go back to Himself, or send Himself? Do you see how your belief breaks down when compared with scripture?
One more,
“Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.”
(John 6:46)
Jesus said that no one has seen the Father but He Himself. Many had seen the Lord in the Old and New Testament, but they hadn’t seen the Father. How does a oneness individual reconcile this?
Please, compare what you’ve been taught by men with the word of God. What you have been taught is not in accord with God’s word, but is the doctrine of men, and it is not from God.
This kind of teaching only burdens me and makes me feel like someone is trying to put us back under the Law. Repentance doesn’t save. When you believe in the Gospel (1 Cor 15: 1-4) and you realize you’re a sinner and what Christ did for you, you WILL be saved and then naturally confess you’re a sinner and turn to God because repentance is from Him. If you’re justified you’re sealed until the day of redemption.
Believe and repent?
Believe and be baptized?
Believe and do better?
NO that’s all works.
Put your faith and trust fully in Christ and you will be saved
That's because this is nothing more than rebranded catholicism. How do you know when you've repented enough? Who made Paul Washer's little group God?
Actually repentance is not really a work, it’s just a change of mind. We go from thinking that we can save ourselves and ignoring Jesus to embracing Jesus and realizing we cannot save ourselves, and so we trust in Him. The Bible also does mention “Repent and believe in the gospel” Mark 1:15
@@RobertA-bj7ou when have I changed my mind enough?
@@kentfink9509 well repentance in the sense of growing in repentance with our progressive walk with God will never be enough, because our minds will continually have to be renewed, but repentance and faith are granted by God at the moment of justification/salvation. Repentance and faith can be said to be two sides of the same coin-repentance is a shift from ourselves to the Savior which leads to faith in the Savior.
@@RobertA-bj7ou that's a lot of word salad simply to say that a true Christian will show they're a Christian by their sanctification fruit

Well, we are told to examine ourselves and test ourselves as to whether we are in the faith 2 cor. 1:5 “And those who are Christs have crucified the flesh with its passions and lust” Gal 5:24 Would you rather be deceived and possibly end up in hell? Consider this the grace of God that He warned you in time.....
@@risenshine7032 are you catholic because who sound like one.....those who believe in their heart in the faith alone gospel are saved....that's it.
@@daisystanley7103 Hi Daisy, no I am not Catholic and I was raised to believe that saying the sinners prayer was enough even if you continued to live in the world, but I never had peace because I knew there was no proof at all in my own life. When I began reading the Scriptures and saw the other verses warning us to not be deceived including various parables by Jesus did I turn away from the hyper grace movement. There is actually plenty of passages that tells believers what true belief really is. This must be why Jesus said many will call him Lord and he will say I never knew you. Stay close to Jesus and obey him after receiving his free gift of salvation. Remember those who seek to save their life, will lose it. We must die to self the Scriptures say. God bless you all
Growth is essential. When there is no fruit on the tree Jesus says don’t cut it down just yet, let me dig around it and if it produces fruit, good, if not then cut it down. Luke 13:6-9 These parables should cause us to wisely examine and test ourselves ourselves. 2Cor 13:5
We must take the whole of scripture that balances each one out.
"Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election." - 2 Peter 1:10
Thank you for the great reminder! Much appreciate the video and reminder. So many are self deceived thinking they are true believers because theybelievethat they believed. They did the altar call, raised their hand.. etc and were told they are saved but never repented of their sin.
There's not two kinds of believers.. believer means to believe In Christ and be saved.. there's no other translation..this is a bunch of double talk he's telling us.. John 3:16 God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him,, shall have eternal life. Period.. he doesn't say if he endures,, this is a good news! the gospel!

@ian Bartleson. I know I have commented on another one of your comments but I'll follow this one here. Where did I say a person cannot know if they are saved? When Paul challenges those who have been questioning his apostolic credentials in 2 Corinthians 13 with a question, should he not have done it, because it might have caused some to doubt? "5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you fail to meet the test! 6 I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test.
" Paul wants the people he is addressing to pass the test, as well as "we," which must include himself. Thanks.
@@jeffgccsatx and how does one pass the test? Is it by living a sinless life and becoming a missionary, or as the Bible says “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.” 1 John 4:15. One person is telling me confessing the Son of God is enough, another is telling me it’s not enough. Who should I believe?
@@IanBartleson Since you brought up 1 John, I always tell people to read 1 John 1:1-5:12, because 5:13 is where John says he wrote what he wrote in order that people would know they are saved. Thanks.
@@jeffgccsatx I think your intentions are good, you want people to turn from sin. But I don't think telling people they can believe in Jesus and still go to hell is the way to do that. You may mean one thing but people hear another. Also, the Bible never says Demas lost his salvation. It just says he deserted Paul. Lots of righteous men in the Bible made mistakes and were still saved. And it's not by whether we remain a lifelong missionary but that "if you confess with your mouth 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
@@IanBartleson Hi Ian, Both are incorrect. There is an abundance of scripture on this, but Allow me to disect Mat 7:13,14, 7:21--23 V13,14 It is clear that only "few" are on the road to life. What did Jesus mean here on the sermon on the mount'
(or anywhere else he may have said it).? The road to life is "cramped" and "narrow". It is an analogie telling us being one of his followers takes EFFORT. Yes works are involved. Compare Eph. 2:10. The works in Ephesians 2:8,9 were works under the the old law covenant, not true Christian works. The broad spacious road means choosing "easy street", or no real effort or works involved. As we will see not a few of them did do works V21 It is obvious many are in for a huge shock when Jesus comes. They are believers who .chose a religion that suited them, but it wasnt "THE WILL OF MY FATHER." said Jesus. V22 In line with V13,14 re "few" Jesus says some will protest saying "Lord, Lord, did we not expel demons, prophesy and do miracles as some translations render it IN HIS NAME. Yet he calls them "workers of lawlessness". Why? Because again they chose not to do the WILL OF THE FATHER. They ignored the few who tried to impress upon them the truth. Can you see why both in your question are wrong. Google says there are 33,000 different "Christian" groups or persuasions, how come they chose not to listen to Jehovahs witnesses is the main reason. Of course there are others.
For today I will leave it at that.
There is certainly no shortage of messages that cause believers to question their dedication. Again and again.
“We aren’t saved by works, but if you don’t do X Y and Z, you aren’t saved.” If you can’t see the contradiction, I don’t know what to say.
@Ian Bartleson: Are you saying that statement concerning the necessity of repentance for justification (as Jesus said in Mark 1:15 and Luke 24:47, for example) and the necessity of obedience post-justification (per Eph 2:10 and James 2:14-26) contradicts justification by faith alone? Thanks.
@@jeffgccsatx Mark 1:15 is telling them to believe, this video is saying you can believe and still go to hell. The end goal of repentance is belief. You don’t add repentance to belief. The one who believes has repented.

What confuses me with these types of messages he’s putting such an emphasis on whether you have TRULY believed and TRULY repented, and then turning around saying but of course there will still be sin and struggles in your life. If there are still sin in your life I don’t see how you can confidently trust that you have truly believed. It seems like a big contradiction to me
Thanks for watching. The Christian life has a goal of sinlessness, yes, but it's a goal we will not attain in this life. John wrote about that issue in 1 John 1 when he wrote about "we" (which includes himself) having sin - and "we" say we don't, "we" make God to be a liar. When James says "we all stumble," in James 3:2 the stumbling is in reference to our language, our mouths, our speech. John's burden in 1 John 3 is to tell the Christian that their life is not to be characterized by sin, in line with Paul's statement to the Corinthians about who and what they were prior o salvation in 1 Cor. 6:9-10.
Aaron read Romans chapter 4 and 5. Abraham was saved by faith! Christ imputes his righteousness to our account by faith just like Abraham. Do you believe that he died for YOU, was buried and rose for your justification? If you do you have everlasting life! He isn’t imputing sin to your account. Your lawless deeds are forgiven! GRACE is what saves!!
I’m encouraged by the number of commenters that see the error in this teaching.
Legalist try to turn repentance into a works based salvation. And they claim that they are good enough to prove they are saved. I think anyone who claims they are good enough doesn’t understand the holiness of God and the depravity of themselves.

Thomas I don't know why you're yelling at me haha...
But I truly believe that if someone is born again, but then they fall into a lifestyle of habitual sin, and they don't stop and repent it then they'll go to hell.
For example, someone was a born again Christian, but then they move in with their girlfriend /boyfriend and live in sin.... That's a sinful lifestyle so I believe if they don't stop that lifestyle, they'll go to hell. Which is why I was convicted
For example, me...
I was a devoted Christian, I loved Jesus. Was living purely. But then I met a guy. And I ended up having premarital relations. I believe that if I don't repent and stop this lifestyle, I'll go to hell. No?
This is why I'm convicted. Because despite being very close to the Lord for years (I used to have prayers be answered immediately after I said them), I fell into sin. And I'm living in sin. And if I don't repent and stop living in sin the way I am, I'll go to hell, will I not?
Praise God for the conviction of sin. I am praying for you! Turn from this current situation, you will not regret it.
Referring to the end times, Jesus warned that the love of most people will grow cold (Matthew 24:12), and some believers will lose the love for Christ that they once had (Revelation 2:4). Refer to the parable of the 10 Bridesmaids waiting for the Groom. Half were ready, and the other half missed out.
“If you love Me, you will obey My commands.” If we don’t believe His commands, we will not make it, because we really don’t love Him.

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
True. The people in Matthew 7:21-23 believed in Jesus since they called Him "Lord" and said they had done many miracles in His name. One can't do miracles in Jesus name if they don't believe in Jesus - so they believed in Jesus. The difference between them and real Christians is that real Christians have been given a new heart by being born again (John 3, Ezekiel 36) and repented of their sins, and keep on repenting of their sins. They, of course, believe in Jesus...truly believe. I praise God for His grace!
Actually it’s possible for people to perform miracles without Jesus under the sovereign will and purposes of God. Think about Moses and the Egyptian magicians, Judas and the sorcerer in Acts. The point of that passage is that these people were trying to justify themselves to go to Heaven based on their works, and Jesus Christ does not know them, He never did, thus they were never saved “Only those who do the will of my Father will enter” as Jesus said, in which what the Father wants is in John 6:28-29
@Raj Singh The Father is not the Son. They are different persons, yet one God. John 14:11 is just one place which shows this, where Jesus says: "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me." Another is Daniel 7:13-14.
Persevere saints, by the Spirit.
"He who has the Son has the LIFE; he who does not have the Son does not have the LIFE."
If a person possesses the LIFE of God, they will repent, believe, and persevere in faith. If a person does not possess the LIFE of God, they may have a superficial kind of faith, but they are not saved. Faith is a gift of God's Spirit. Salvation is of the Lord, not of our profession. Profession is important, but profession of Jesus without possession of Jesus is empty.
Repentance confuses me sometimes. So it's a changing of the mind, which leads to a change of action. How does one repent when they know that they will still sin? How do you know that you've repented if you still sin, and I know that true believers sin, but how can you tell if you are following Jesus or satan?
Same!
@@beautyforashes2230 Thank you! Believers must have to want to sin though, right? I mean if they didn't they wouldn't and there would be no temptation, but I guess the difference is that they want to but they don't want to and when they do, they have godly sorrow? You see, I'm 17, and I was baptized when I was 8, but a few months ago I started doubting my salvation, and I eventually learned the trusting Jesus was not just believing that He exists but believing that He is the only Way to heaven. I concluded that I didn't have saving faith, but was self righteous. Now, well, I just don't know. Sometimes I think I have faith in Jesus and sometimes I'm afraid I'm still self righteous.

Hey Hannah, repentance can be confusing for new believers, or those who the Lord may be “giving eyes to see and ears to hear”.
2 Timothy 2:25-26 says,
“with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.”
Repentance does mean a change of mind, and like you said, when someone truly changes their mind about something, their attitude toward it and their actions in relation to it will change also. The prodigal son “came to his senses” and went home, knowing he had sinned against God and against his father, he expected to be as one of his father’s hired servants, but as his father saw him still far off, he began running with joy toward his son and embraced him with love and forgiveness.
Psalm 51 gives an example of Godly sorrow over sin. David was tempted to sin with Bathsheba, another man’s wife, due to evil desires, and he gave into those evil desires, even after walking with the Lord for some time.
After the Lord sent the prophet Nathan to David, to confront him about his sins, he confessed his sins, and repented before God.
When we sin, yes, we do it because in that moment we desire that thing (whatever the sin may be) more than we desire Him.
The true believer will be sorrowful over that and desire forgiveness, restored fellowship with Him, and sanctification. They don’t want to sin against Him or even desire evil at all.
The unbeliever loves sin, and they live in it.
The believer does not love sin, and cannot live in it.
There’s a reason why Jesus is our high priest. After our salvation, we need a way to be cleansed if we sin. See 1 John 1:9-10. Think of it like the levítical priests. They were bathed once all over and never needed to do that again for their ministry. But they had to repeatedly wash at that bronze laver. www.lampbroadcast.org/plets/ppdf15/EternalSalvation.pdf

Also, I want to encourage you not to trust in a baptism. Baptism will not save you, and if baptism were required for salvation, the thief on the cross would not have been told, “truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in paradise” (Luke 23:43)
That man entered into glory with Jesus with no sins and a perfect righteousness.
(2 Corinthians 5:21/ Philippians 3:9)
If there has been much sin in your life, no desire for the Lord or His word, no desire for holiness or nearness to Him, I believe that the Lord may have begun opening your eyes a few months ago, bringing you to your senses, to bring you to true faith.
I don’t know what your life looked like before now, but this is what He did with me.
I believed I was saved until I was 26.
I would hear sermons over examining whether I am saved or not, and click away from them because they scared me, but as I began reading scripture and listening to them, I came to see through 1 John 1:6 that I did not know Him and that I was not saved. So I cried out to Him to save me and make me His. My life has never been the same since, and it’s been 4 years. I lived in sin and yet thought I was good.
I came to see my utter sinfulness, the hell I deserved (which is God’s just wrath against my sin, away from Him for eternity), that Jesus alone could save me (from the wrath and separation from God that I deserved, as well as freedom from slavery to sin), and that He had promised that “whoever goes to Him He will never cast out” (John 6:37)
Prayerfully read 1 John, Hannah.
These aren’t things you are to do to be saved, but 1 John is full of evidences of true salvation.
God does not reveal our lost condition just to leave us there, but it is His mercy and kindness to lead us to repentance, and reconciliation to Him through Christ.
Came at the right time, praise the Lord, thank you Lord Jesus, it's only because of you I'm still alive and when my time comes I'll be with you forever and ever, amen and amen.🙏🙌
Thank you sir for this truth. I will endure to the end. Without Christ I have absolutely nothing. And I will not trust anything in myself but put all my trust and faith upon the Lord for my every need.
David,, enduring to the end in that part of scripture is referring to physically enduring.. do a study for yourself and see.. it's not about the True believer having to endure and lose their salvation.. you are secure in Christ and a new creation in Christ Jesus..
Hmm. Believers don’t get turned away. Believers ARE the “elect”.
Way too many problems with Calvinism.
@STAR. Thanks for watching. Some commenters on this video have maintained that I CANNOT be a Calvinist based on what I said. So, it's quite interesting to see how people interpret what I said.
There’s a difference between believing “in” and believing “on.”
And a vast difference in "doing the will of God" Mat. 7:13,14, 21--23.
Semantics.
@@jacketrussell ~ Not surprising. Saving faith comprehends.
Jesus said sin no more, keep your self away from sin as much as you can every day.
@Raj Singh here we go again..... Jesus is the Son of God he isn’t God the Father, if you don’t have the Son you don’t have the Father.
@Raj Singh what I am saying is you don’t understand the interpretation.
@Raj Singh when you read John 14 keep reading...
John 14:10-12 KJV
[10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. [11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. [12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. …
In line 10 Jesus says the words he speaks are not of himself but from the Father.... Jesus is simply stating God is in him and he is in God Just like God and Jesus are in me. We do the works of God the Father and Jesus the Son and yet I am not God nor am I Jesus but I do the works of them.
@Raj Singh your argument doesn’t hold water in many places....
Matthew 26:39 KJV
[39] And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Not my will Father but your will? Jesus has a will seperate from Gods will, Jesus isn’t Gods avatar. I hope you find your way my friend.
@Raj Singh see this scripture.......... John 8:58 KJV
[58] Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
This means before Abraham was, I existed.
Correct. Just because you agree that Jesus is who the Bible claims does not mean you have any desire to abide in Him. The same person who cries, "I don't want to go to Hell!" may continue to chase comfort when God puts them in trials. The same person who cries, "I want to go to Heaven!" may continue to chase pleasure when God calls them to repent.
Jesus, save me from the penalty of my sins and from the committing of the sins themselves!
Did you sin today?
When you ask Jesus in your heart and ask him to save you you are saved forever John 3:16!this is a gospel in the good news and he said I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish and never means never!
Hello
@Kent Fink
I will never claim to not have sinned on a given day. That doesn’t mean that I should embrace sin though.
This video is very confusing and I believe in your cuteness with the title only will breed confusion. I understand what you are trying to do here but this is a topic that cannot be explained in a 5 minute video. Stop trying to be clever. Just keep the full length sermon for the sake of those who only see this video. If a “believer” turns away then he is no longer a believer and will receive his reward. Hence why Calvinism’s eternal security aspect is flawed.
@chieflan5: Thank you for writing. We would agree with your statement that "If a “believer” turns away then he is no longer a believer and will receive his reward." The issue we must honestly address, though, is that the language of Scripture in every English translation from Wycliffe, through the KJV and until today translates "pisteuo" in John 2:23-25 as "believed." And it's the same word, in the same sense (aorist, active, indicative) as what "the other disciple" (John?) is said to have done in John 20:8 when "he saw and believed." The Spirit carried John along to write "pisteuo" in both John 2 and John 20 and we have to honestly wrestle with the fact that he did.
John 11:26 (CSB)
“Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? ”
John 1:12 (CSB)
But to all who did receive him, he gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in his name,
Romans 3:22 (CSB)
The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction.
1 Timothy 4:10 (CSB)
For this reason we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
Romans 10:11-13 (CSB) 11 For the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame, 12 since there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, because the same Lord of all richly blesses all who call on him. 13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
-- “I’ll be honest” : This video is false teaching--
Tim.....................….I agree, thank you....it is confusing to those who are not secure in their trust of God
What if you once followed then turned away. And then came back after feeling conviction? Can you still be saved or were you even saved to begin with? What of you were walking with God at one point then fell back into habitual sin. And then felt convicted to come back? Im curious.
@HM Productions: Thank you for writing. Perhaps 1 Timothy 1 helps here. Paul writes in verse 19 that some have made "shipwreck of their faith," among whom (v. 20) are Alexander and Hymenaeus, whom Paul said he handed over to Satan... but for what purpose? "... that they may learn to not blaspheme." It is not unreasonable here to draw the conclusion that these two men were in fact blaspheming - and Paul wants them to learn to not blaspheme. If he wants them to learn to not blaspheme, then the inference is that they would then return to the faith even though they had made "shipwreck" of it beforehand. So, yes, there is always hope for the one who turns from their sin (repents) and believes in Christ to save him.
Consider the Prodigal Son... and his return to the Father. Also, consider these verses in Ezekiel, remembering the God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow:
Ezekiel 18:21-24
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²¹ "But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
²² None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live.
²³ Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?" says the Lord God, "and not that he should turn from his ways and live?
²⁴ "But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die."
@Unconditional Love so youre telling me someone that was saved once before never struggled with habitual sin? Is there a difference between habitually sinning all the timr and just one mess up? Thats more what i am getting at.
@@HeavenlyMotivation
Some believe they followed God when they were simply going to church, listening to some Christian music, praying from time to time, and avoiding big sins.
That’s not what makes a Christian though.
A Christian is not saved by how good they are, since they’re already guilty of sin before God, therefore already deserving condemnation and separation from Him. This is why Christ died for sinners, in order to die their death for their sins in their place, to bring them to God (1 Peter 3:18). When God saves someone, He reveals Himself, that He is holy, just, and righteous and punishes all sin (Nahum 1:3, Psalm 5:4), He reveals that they are guilty before Him, deserving punishment and separation from Him for their sins (Luke 18:13, Luke 5:8, Isaiah 6:5), and He reveals to them Christ as the one and only Savior (John 14:5, Acts 4:12, John 8:24)
God makes this promise to His people,
“I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.”
Jeremiah 32:40
So you may not have been His at all, or if you truly are, He may be bringing you back.
None of us on here can tell you where you truly stand before the Lord, but 1 John would be a good place to read if you want to know.
If you come to see that you never were His, take heart, He is a God who loves to save, and ordained the way of salvation before the world began.
I will also leave you with this promise from the Savior Himself,
“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.”
John 6:37
@@Jthreadz0892 thanks for comment! have a good day
Repentance is not changing your mind. Repentance is having grief and sorrow over your wrongdoing towards God. Those who are repentant (grieved) about their sin WILL endure to the end because in having repentance and faith (both gifts from God), you become a child of God and He will convict you of sin and keep you forevermore. I used to listen to this ministry because I thought it was sound. But watching these videos made me extremely confused about salvation because I had more questions afterwards than answers. When I learned that repentance doesn’t mean changing your mind and that it means to grieve over your sin against God, the Bible started to open up to me like never before. I also understood my own testimony of salvation that took place on the night when I was absolutely broken and in tears before God about how evil I finally knew I had always been. And that’s when I truly believed on Christ because I understood how much I needed Him in my wretched state (I was a false convert myself prior to that... simply believing in Christ with no grief toward God over my sin. But I did, in fact, try to turn away from certain sins during this time because I knew they were wrong. I was just still not grieved over it).
Read Luke 18:9-14 KJB. Notice how the Pharisee is attributing his righteousness to his works and is belittling the man who is beating his chest and asking for God’s mercy because of the pain in his heart. If all you have done is changed your mind, then all you have done is believed. And if you have turned from your sin and you think that’s what has made you different than the others who ONLY believe, then you’re believing in a works salvation and you are just like that Pharisee who is mocking the publican who has been brought to repentance over his sin. But I say to you: REPENT of your sin and be converted. Stop trusting in your own righteousness like the Pharisee and look at your wretched state before God. Weep and mourn because you are of your father the devil (those of you who have not truly repented and believed). Don’t turn your eye from true repentance and scoff at it as if it’s below you to weep in brokenness over your sin. God will not save someone of a prideful spirit so be humbled to repentance.
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”-James 4:6
“The LORD is nigh [near] unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”-Psalm 34:18

@@kylerush6330 Mary was not a sinner as you claim, as Mary was the only person ever saluted by title rather than name, saluted by the Archangel Gabriel as being full of grace, even before baptism which removes sin, so as to be pure dwelling place for the Most High, like the ark of the covenant of old.
Just as many in the early Church sought the mediation and intercession of mere human beings like Peter and Paul and their prayers and shadow and handkerchiefs, so too even now, for not even death can separate us! Especially the Mother of the Lord, she who moved her Son and God to perform His first public miracle even though it was not yet His hour, touched by His Mother's compassion for the wedding couple!

Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is True food and Blood True drink
@@matthewbroderick8756 well this is where we disagree. Im sorry but Mary needed a Savior as much as we do I'm sorry, but Christ said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by Me." And yes she was full of grace, but like you and me, her and the apostles needed grace so much that this is why Christ came to die for them as well. Apart from Him, I, nor any other creature under God, can do nothing. A precast, nor angel, nor Saint has the right to absolve us of our sins but by Christ alone. And yes, Paul and Peter were used. But in Acts, the people started to praise them and they tore their clothes because they were mere men. God can use man and woman for his goal, but man cannot make us right before a holy God.
Jeff, after reviewing this video again,I do get the points you're trying to make about the words believer and belief.. but I wonder if you considered the weaker tender-hearted brothers and sisters truly saved in Christ, that will view this?!??..Also with regards to enduring to the end.. I have done in-depth studies on this and the context around it and we can't make a doctrine out of verse.. I've come to the conclusion, in the context, Jesus is speaking about those who endure physically..
Lord have mercy on my soul 🙏🏽
If you believe in Jesus you have the witness in yourself.Read your bible every day and you will see your life change for the glory of God. Your desires will change.
You need to clarify that you don't mean if we have areas of sin in our lives that we still struggle with bringing into submission. Cause it kinda sounds like once you're saved if there ARE ANY OF THOSE AREAS that you're truly not born again.
@Raj Singh you're understanding doesn't harmonize with scripture. You take a couple verses to establish your doctrine. I'll take a few examples from scripture to challenge that. First, for your understanding to be accurate, the Father had to leave Heaven to become the Son. There was only Him. When He ascended back into Heaven he retook His roll as the Father until He came back as the Holy Spirit.
In any event He had to leave Heaven empty of Him for at least a time. Now, if we can get past that, who was the dove that came to light on Christ at His baptism? And who's voice was it from Heaven who said "This is my beloved Son in "WHOM" (IMPLIES A DIFFERENT PERSON) "I" (also separating from the being of Christ in the water) am well pleased. God is not arrogant. Jesus being God the Father in disguise would not create a confusion nor lie to create a false sense of understanding nor "pat" His own self on the back with those words because that would be saying "This is Me in who I'm well pleased in." The event doesn't align with your understanding. Secondly, when Peter and John accompanied Him to the top of the mountain where He was transfigured, that would have had to have been God in His highest form. Again, what happened? A voice came out or Heaven saying "This is MY (one ENTITY) beloved (object of affection) SON (OFFSPRING), HEAR "HE HIM" This is a clear delineation of person.
Please explain who Jesus was talking about who since was Gd the Father incarnate, when He spoke in John 6:29? John 14:23? Who did Jesus cry out to on the Cross? "Eli, Eli lama sabacthani?" Which interpreted is "Father, Father why hasn't THOU forsaken ME?" WAS GOD INCARNATE SO DISTRAUGHT THAT HE BECAME DELUSIONAL OR HALLUCINATING FROM THE TORMENT, THINKING THERE WAS ANYONE BUT HIMSELF TO CRY TO?
Why did He LIE to Mary?
John 20:17
Please explain John 14:28.
Neither does this harmonize with the Ascension.
Mark 16:9 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the RIGHT HAND of GOD.
Acts 6:1-12? Who did Jesus say through WHO'S own authority?
Please, please, please explain Psalm 110 in the context of your doctrine.
You have it correct that God is One You miss the fact that God the Father is the One God, the Son who sits at His right Hand IS THE ONE GOD and the Holy Spirit, IS THE ONE GOD. All THREE of them are THE ONE GOD. A complete Union making a singular ring.
Thank u I need to hear this I wish someone would have told me this when I first got saved many will be lost because hardly nobody is preaching this
Even satan believes in Jesus.
True, even demons tremble.
We can read this in the bible: James chapter 2
@MANY ON MISSION ...I never said “believes on”....I said in. They all know He’s God, even the luciferians who reject Him.
This just gets annoying...tit for tat against other Christians.
Come Jesus come!
@MANY ON MISSION ...I apologize! It did seem like a correction from u & u telling me which scripture to read. Yes, I’m annoyed...not necessarily with u. Too many Christians r correcting Christians on subjects that r not salvation issues. Some really get into it too. It makes us look divided & petty. I just get tired of making statements that get roasted by fellow believers...I watch others do it really nastily in chats too. There r spirits at play with all of us. It’s getting so exhausting now.
Christ died for all of mankind not the angels
This is evil doctrine. As I was listening the alarm started screaming in my head. This is salvation by works added to Calvinism.
Go to JW.org and learn how to save yourself.
I think a lot of the comments here were written solely based on the title
@Gabriel Kinzel: Thanks for writing and as the speaker here, I would agree.
No I've listened and respectfully disagree. Don't play with words. He is undermining new Believers.
@@jeffgccsatx Sir just get to the point perhaps. Because we agree with what Paul Washer is saying. Yes they're believers who will go to hell one of those are the demons because they also have faith but what kind of faith? RC Sproul make this clear that the faith that saves is a Fides Viva a LIVING FAITH MANIFESTED in life of Good works. We us a believer must continually examine ourselves if indeed we are in the faith. You affirm the Ordis Saludis yet you exemplified Matthew 24:11 without taking consideration other passages as well.
Jesus refers to God as another person, and also the spirit. Yet they are together God, Who is one.
Jesus is God, the Father is God, and the Spirit is God. They are distinct, yet one. God’s name in Hebrew is plural. “Let _Us_ make man in our image..” the angles aren’t helping God make man, only God.
In Isaiah it says “come, let _Us_ reason together..”
the very way God saves us is trinitarian. The Father sends the Son, and the Spirit causes the new birth.
As you say, we are new creations which is evident when we put on the new man who is in the image of Christ. If we are led of the Spirit we will not fulfil the lusts of the flesh. Those who are led of the spirit are the sons of God. Thank you for speaking the truth.
There’s one MASSIVE contradictory statement when he says we are saved by faith but that we must DO - work - the rest of our lives. This cheapens Grace and the Blood of Christ. We are either saved from all our sins once and for all, or not saved at all. It also the height of hubris to think that we can do enough to be “in good standing” throughout life and all the way to the end when our cleanest clothes are but filthy rags.
Furthermore, had he continued along in this passage he’d come to Romans 10:9-10. “... if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and you believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” PERIOD. No condition. Nothing to add. CONFESS. BELIEVE. YOU’RE SAVED!
Paul also speaks to the Romans that we are adopted sons and daughters. Romans understood this meaning. Biological parents and children could divorce themselves of each other. Parents of adopted children COULD NOT divorce themselves of the child, and vice versa.
@Raj Singh - you are denying Scripture and in danger of adding to the Gospel as Paul wrote in Galatians 1. The requirement for salvation as Paul writes in Romans 10:9-10 is the CONFESS JESUS AS LORD and BELIEVE GOD raised Him from the dead.
As for the Trinity, refer to Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist. The Father’s voice was heard audibly, Jesus - who many times claimed to be God - is seen while the Spirit of God descended upon Him (Jesus) as a dove.
Don't build an entire theology on a few verses and ignore everything else
@Steven Stalin: Might I ask where I have ignored everything else? See, the assumption of many who commented here is that I don't believe John 3:16. I do. I'll Be Honest does. My theology is built on the entirety of the Bible and sometimes the Bible itself presents things to us which challenge our ready-made doctrinal assumptions. This is one case. Thanks.
Very solid and concise sermon that hit the nail on the head! Amen!
No, this is more Calvinist false teaching. Completely untrue. Go watch Leighton Flowers on CZcams to hear the truth about salvation, and why Calvinism is so wrong and dangerous.
I get so confused about all this sometimes 😔
Especially when I'm trying to learn more by reading everyone's comments 🙁
That you are seeking what is pleasing to God is as good a sign as any that you are on the correct path. God is not trying to run away from you. When you seek after Him, He is eager to be found. Neither religion or studies in logic should stand between you and Christ. It might help to back off a little from reading how others interpret the way your relationship with the Creator of all things should evolve. Dig into your Bible and get to know Who God is. His personality. His expressions of love. His creativity. His justness. His immensity. His Holiness. His humor. His steadfastness. His faithfulness. Its difficult for us not to see ourselves at the center of everything, including God's Word. I know in my experience at least, I had trouble recognizing God because I was never taught who he was as a person. I used to ask my kids if a man drove up to their school in the same color van as ours, with the same hair and glasses as mine, and similar face as mine; would they get in the car? They would always say of course not because they knew it wasn't me. I would tell them that it's kind of the same reason we look for who the person of God is in the Bible. There are things you just can't learn from a third party description. God's Holy Word is living. I still have to beat my head when I become confused or fearful because the answer was and is always more prayer and more Bible.
Read the Bible. That’s a good place to start. The Bible is like a compass because it points us in the right direction. The Bible also gives us knowledge and wisdom, and it is the living word of God. ❤️
Thank you :)
@@KuroRitsuka I agree with Katherine.
The comments may be helpful, but without a pretty firm footing in scripture, you cannot easily discern who is speaking unbiblically, and who is seeking to correct unbiblical comments.
One thing to look for in any conversation, scripture. We can talk about God all day long, but if we won’t/don’t use His word, everything we have to say is completely arbitrary, since He has revealed Himself, His salvation, etc in His word.
To start, begin reading His word.
Many people recommend the NT, but I believe reading from Genesis is also greatly helpful.
@@Jthreadz0892 that's true. Thanks Jordan
Very enlightening. Believers need to constantly scan the horizon of their life through the Word of God. Produce real 🍉 fruit 🍎. This nails it. Don’t fall away. Do not believe in vain.

The right teaching: All believers are seal with Holy Spirit at the moment of believing in Jesus Christ and God give us the free will to choose or not to choose Him. He knows who will be saved because He has foreknowledge Not predestined some to hell and some to be saved.
Thank you so much for this message!!!
I thought there was only ONE unforgivable sin... not accepting Jesus as one's savior. So are there at least TWO unforgivable sins? The other one having been saved, but fallen away and not producing enough "fruits?" The later would be the majority of Christians, because it's nearly impossible to live apart/separated of the world. And what if you fail every single day and just kind of give up that there's any hope left of living a life pleasing to Him?
@Jane Doe: Thank you for writing. The language of John 2:23-25 and John 8:31-59 describes people who are said to be "believers" who were in fact not justified at that point. The video is not concerning those who fall away... it concerns those who have a "belief" which does not save. Perhaps watching the full sermon, linked in the description, would help. Thanks.
@Unconditional Love - Not true. Everyone backslides sometimes.
@@recyclecongress well i guess there is backslideing sometimes but returning to JESUS and there is what our friend said but what i think he ment is fail back and never repent
I never hear sermons like these in church. What a missed opportunity!
All thanks, praise and glory be to Jesus, Amen ! Wonderfully explained awesome video !
@David Sarker: Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great video brother! I can see why the title might rattle some folks though, but after watching the entire video it is clear you're speaking biblically.
@Louijuan: Thank you for watching and your kind words.
What is the gospel?
1st Corinthians 15:1-4
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Jesus Christ was the Son of God (God in the flesh born of a virgin.) sent to save us from our sin and punishment in Hell. (A burning lake of fire for eternity.) He was sinless and perfect and He died on a cross. No man killed him. He willingly went to the cross and gave his life for you and me so that we could be saved and go to heaven with him. While He was on the cross he bore our sin. He took God's punishment for our sin in our place so that we could be seen as righteous before God. His innocent blood needed to be shed. He was buried, and rose again after three days validating that God has accepted Jesus blood as atonement for us. By putting our faith on Jesus, God washes us in His precious blood and we are forgiven.
Romans: 10:9-10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 3:25
25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Salvation is by faith, believing Jesus finished work on the cross and not by our own works.
Repenting(change of mind) from our own righteousness and believing in Jesus for salvation.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Just like any gift, you have to receive it.
John 1:12
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
If you put your faith in Jesus shed blood as payment for your sins and believe He was buried and rose again. Your saved!
However, If you would like to confess to Jesus you can pray something like this;
Jesus, I realize I am a sinner. I believe you are the Son of God and that you died for my sins on the cross and that you were buried and rose again. I now put my faith in you and believe that your blood washes me from all sin. I now trust in you alone to take me to heaven.
Acts 16:30-31
30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house
If you put your faith in Jesus, God knows your heart. You can look forward to heaven! Amen!
Lol... this dudes false gospel starts @ 3:30... he's a calvinist, not a christian.. bye felicia..😄
Read Matt 24:13, Mat. 10:22 and Heb, 3:14 and think again. Go to JW.org and learn how to save yourself.
AAAAAAMEEEEN!!
I believe that we are all in this process that we have to get through. So that by trials that faith will become genuine. We may have struggles today but one day the hand of the Lord will carry you through. It maybe years of battle from the day you believed, but one day the Lord will ultimately change your heart and you'll be perfected by His love.
Romans 7:15-25
GOD bless you all !
The title puzzled me a bit, but after watching the full video I understand. Matthew 7v21 sums up this video.
When Jesus said depart from me you workers of iniquity. He was rebuking them because they were relying on their own good works and the law to save them not on Christ. There's not one righteous no not one all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Ephesian says that we are saved by grace through faith it is a gift of God not of ourselves lest any man should boast. But after we are born again then we are appointed good works to walk there in
i used to see videos like this and freak out! God will help you overcome!!! if you have the holy spirit he will help you. do not be discouraged by this. it’s the heart that matters in the end.
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. // Who was Jesus talking about here?
I believed and was changed. I went everywhere and told everyone I knew about God. I pray to God in Jesus name every day and hope in him that he hears my prayers. My fear is that I still sin every day. I feel like I’m loosing faith. I’m scared I want to be in love with God like I once was. Help, any advice would make me over joyed. Will God except me back?
me too
@CBG josh and @Sofia Starostenko: Yes, he will. Think about what we see in 1 Corinthians and in Revelation 2 and 3. Scripture never condemns the professing believers there as being beyond hope, even as they are called out for their sin (five of the churches in Rev. 2 and 3). Jesus told the churches in revelation to repent and if they did, they'd receive the reward. So it is with you as well. Thanks.
@@jeffgccsatx thank you so much God bless you
Not born again believers. Cultural Christians? Yes
Exactly.
It’s frightening to think that if Jesus doesn’t remove the mountain or kill the giant in your life, and you struggle with it constantly and still fall victim to its temptation. Then you are not a true believer.
It truly leaves you feeling hopeless , alone and afraid.
That is what this basically leads me to believe
As someone who's recently had a "mountain or giant" removed from their life, I would suggest this person look inward and ask with whom are they struggling over this mountain or giant? If you say satan than God's given you a means to withstand the temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13), if you say yourself then why are you not able to let it go? We know that God's power is not the issue so the reality is we either categorically and completely hate our sin (a sign of true repentance) or a piece of us still loves it. People want salvation BEFORE turning from their sin but repentance is what LEADS to salvation (2 Corinthians 7:10, 2 Timothy 2:24-26, 2 Chronicles 7:14) not the other way around.
You'll be honest? Your title isn't, it's deceptive.
@D W: Might I ask how I was dishonest? If you would, could you point out at what points in this video and in the full sermon (czcams.com/video/8ughgdOsreM/video.html) where I was being dishonest? We take the admonition of James 3:1 quite seriously around here and as an elder at our church, our congregation would not tolerate dishonesty in one of their elders. Thank you.
THANK YOU! I needed that message. My walk should be a lot better. I needed to hear this!
Excellent, vital topic. There are far too many people in church who believe, but do not act upon that belief. But they are not believERS. The ER on the end of the word implies action. Belief does not make you a believER.
