A Giant Calvinism problem that JM,JP,PW and others do not fully understand is 2nd Peter 3:9 God is not willing that any Should Perish!!! But that All should come to Repentance!!! John Calvin twisted scripture that Pre-Damnation is Unavoidable,this is a sad teaching!!!
But its scriptural my friend. They are both taught in scripture. Accept the fact that we can't understand everything but Christ IS Lord! If we are saved He is in control, we surrender to His Lordship, right?
@@douggauzy6258in the begining God created a man in His image. That why the Bible says that there is nothing that comes from yourself that you can offer to yourself Jn3.27 even your thoughts of eternity are in you provided by the creator of your braine thinking Ecclesiastes,3.11 God only can given you all of your being because He is your creator. It means that if you think that you can give to yourself any thing then you are a creator that would be a blasphemy and idoratry !!! That why this preacher is wrong about God and salvation!!!
James 3:8 "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded." You are a synergetic part.
I do agree there is absolutely nothing I can or could ever do to save myself, because if there was anything I could do to save myself then Christs death on the cross would be for nothing. However I will not sin willingly and as for me and my house we will serve the Lord
The Bible very clearly states we are chosen, predestined, known. The work of the Holy Spirit upon you can only be sent by God. It’s not some choice you make. You can deny him but he chooses you.
@FirstnameLastname... Even tĥough you do mean well, your claim of NOT SINNING WILLFULLY will not hold up Scripturely. Read James 4:17 and weep bc we all willfully fail to do good at all times. I think I know that you're sincere but we must accept ALL Scripture relating to the subject of our failure to be sinless. (I Kings 8:46, II Chron 6:36, Ecc 7:20, Gal 5:17, I John 1:8-10 )
This is exactly right. Some people front load the gospel and others back load the gospel. Free Grace. Everyone I know that believes in free Grace has fruit and doesn’t believe that you can live however you want.
Indeed that is the Truth. How can you be in grace and allow sin to abound? God FORBID!!! However, and with great sadness, there are so many who have been led to believe that they are saved irregardless of their behavior. I would ask if they truly believe what they said they do! If they do, their fruits will show it…and not just on Sunday morning. We know from the Word of Jesus that there will be MANY who will assert they know Him and have done many great things IN HIS NAME and He will proclaim to them, “Depart from me YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY, for I NEVER knew you.” If we truly believe and love Him, we will obey His commandments.
The reason Jesus has to come into your heart and not the leg, arm, eye, etc., is because the Jeremiah 17:9 says only the heart (inner man, not the physical anatomical body part) is wicked and desperately evil. Although, if that leg, arm, or eye (physical), causes one to stumble and go to hell, better to cut it off and enter heaven halt, than enter hell whole. As for the heart transplant surgical procedure (15:00 min mark), A Christian can transplant their heart (physical) into an atheist and they will remain an unbeliever and lost. Being a Christian is a spiritual matter as Jesus completely explains in John 3.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
I am sorry but in all respect it does not sound that Dr Arnold has read his Bible! He has also not really listened to what these great preachers teach.
You think they are preaching sinless perfection which is heresy? You are wrong then. Read again Paul's letters. Read James...faith without works...The Spirit will testify you are saved and you need to follow Christ (and his commands). Christ will keep you sanctified by a renewal of your mind. This is not of your will but God.
No, jmac and the others will tell you they don't teach perfection. This means they teach some level of imperfect obedience for salvation. That is heresy. That why the christian vew is 100 percent perfection, wich is only possible by Christ's perfection imputed to the believer.
"No man comes to Me ( Christ) the Father draws the "=JESUS, "I did not receive this gospel through the teaching of man nor the will of man but by revelation"= PAUL. "the things that are impossible for man are possible for God"= JESUS. you decide.
But Jesus said in John. 14:6, "I am the way the truth and the life NO ONE cometh to the Father but by me " so how can a sinner be drawn by the father to Jesus if Jesus is the way to the Father? The problem with false calvinist doctrine is they dont understand the context of the verse and misuse in a face value interpretation. There is clear "CONTEXT" in John chapter 6 when Jesus said" no can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raised him up in the last day." The context is in verse John 6:41-43 KJV - 41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN 42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? HOW is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? 43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. John 6:44 KJV - 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day Jesus is actually saying to the jews who are murmuring, he came down from heaven why? Because NO MAN CAN COME TO HIM, the father has to send him from heaven to the earth. He even used the example of Moses time that just as the manna that fell from heaven, in the same manner he compares himself as the true MANNA that came down from heaven, if he was not sent down from heaven, NO MAN CAN COME TO HIM. That is why in John 3:16-17 Jesus said in John 3:16-17 KJV - 16 For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. That is why its very obvious that these calvinist false teachers has manipulated the verse into a false ideology of Father choosing only some using the verse OUT OF CONTEXT.
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Excuse me pastor but that's not what John MacArthur's saying he's saying that God has four knowledge he doesn't pick but he knows who's going to pick him and he knows who's not and he accepts the people that fix them therefore he has four knowledge not that he picks himself he knows who picks him because he has four knowledge you have it backwards pastor but you are wrong it's not what he is saying
Wrong. John Macarthur does not teach God "knows who will choose Him, and based on this knowing, calls those people "elect". " Wrong. He teaches the bible correctly: God, of His own free will, determines who He will save and who He will pass by. This is scriptural and also what reformed theology teaches.
@@denisesmith3544 And God has determined to save all who believe and profess the risen Christ. The fallacy with Macarthur and all Calvinists is that they teach humankind has no free will. That is not biblical.
awesome preaching! Lewis Sperry Chafer would have rejoiced! Lordship is anthropocentric, seeking the glory of men. "Just believe" is theocentric, giving all the Glory to God. The ultimate purpose of God is even higher then saving people. It is doxological, i.e. that God would be glorified throughout all of the ages. (Ephesians 3:21, etc ...)
Do You Believe? Acts 16:29-31 The Jailer Fell down before Paul and Silas and Said Sirs "What Must I Do to Be SAVED? And they(Paul and Silas) Said "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and Thou Shalt BE SAVED"!!! Again I Ask Do You Believe ON JESUS???????
Matthew 3:10 NKJV And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 1 John 1:5-7 NKJV This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. [6] If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. [7] But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 2:3-6 NKJV [3] Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. [4] He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. [6] He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Go to the parts of the bible that say' there are those that God will not allow to hear what He is teaching. Lest they believe and be saved. If you can still aim at true Christians by neglecting the parts of the bible, without using basic deduction then you are not rejecting John Macarthur, John Piper, or any of them, you are rejecting God. God does not will that any should perish, but this does not mean that He won't Judge those who willfully reject the Lord. Remember Nazareth. Don't base your teaching out of spite in hopes of starting a division in the church, base your teaching off of the word of the Lord.
Are you perfect sir? For whosoever shall keep the law and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all. You must be perfect to make it in heaven. There is none rightheous(perfect/sinless) no not one. Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
The righteous go to Heaven, the wicked to hell according to Paul's Gospel (Romans 2). So the one living like the devil goes to hell. Anyone else preaching another gospel is accursed according to Galatians 6.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
@Rom4five 2 Corinthians 5 ... all my sins were imputed to Jesus and he paid for them all before I was born! When I believe it is finished... I'm saved . It's finished
Faith without works is dead, true. But works come after salvation as a reasonable service not before and are not a condition for salvation. In other words God says that those things done after salvation are for rewards in heaven.
It's not what they're saying he's saying that God works on you in progress that you are perfect because nobody's perfect nobody can be perfect but you have faith in Jesus Christ and death and resurrection and he'll work on you in the progress and you won't want to send and therefore you change you turn around it's not what you say
Calvinism's false doctrine of "predestination" is no different from the Islamic doctrine of fatalism: 1) The Islamic Surah Ibrahim 14:4 - "And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and ALLAH SENDS ASTRAY(THEREBY) WHOM HE WILLS AND GUIDES WHOM HE WILLS. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise." 2) The Islamic Surah 2:6-7 states, "It is the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe. ALLAH HAS SET A SEAL ON THEIR HEARTS AND ON THEIR HEARING. AND ON THEIR EYES IS A VEIL; GREAT IS THE CHASTISEMENT THEY INCUR." 3) John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, section 5 - "SOME ARE PREORDAINED TO ETERNAL LIFE, OTHERS TO ETERNAL DAMNATION, and accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of those ends, we say that he has been predestined to life or death." 4) "That owing to one man all pass into condemnation who are born of Adam unless they are born again in Christ, even as He has appointed them to be regenerated, before they die in the body, whom He PREDESTINATED TO EVERLASTING LIFE, as the most merciful bestower of grace; while to those whom He HAS PREDESTINATED TO ETERNAL DEATH, He is also the most righteous awarder of punishment not only on account of the sins which they add in the indulgence of their own will, but also because of their original sin, even if, as in the case of infants, they add nothing thereto. Now this is my definite view on that question, so that the hidden things of God may keep their secret, without impairing my own faith." - Augustine, City of God, On the Soul and its Origin, Book 4, Chapter 16. 5) In Islam, in the 2nd stage of "Taqdeer" (fate), it states that "Allah made a divine decree after the creation of Adam. Allah took out all of the progeny of Adam (i.e. all of the humans from the beginning of time until the end of time), and asked them "Am I not your Lord?" and all of the humans responded "We testify that You are our Lord!" THEN ALLAH DECREED TO THEM WHO SHALL GO TO PARADISE AND WHO SHALL GO TO HELL." 6) In Islam, Allah is exalted and pleased as he sends people to hell: this is the fatalistic claim of Islam. Fatalism is a belief that events are fixed in advance for all time in such a manner that human beings are powerless to change them. In this case, Allah will send to heaven whomever he pleases, and send to hell whomever he pleases. ("Unveiling Islam: An Insider’s Look at Muslim Life and Beliefs" pages 31-32, by authors Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner Grand Rapids, MI: Kregel Publications, 2002.)
Calvinism spawned from Augustine's false teachings in his "City of God" writings where all 5 points of the Calvinistic "tulip" can be found in his writings, but going under different titles and headings. Augustine is also the father of Roman Catholicism. These teachings were later extracted and refined by John Calvin who ardently admired Augustine and incorporated Augustine's teachings into his own writings in his "institutes of the christian religion." It is these false teachings that make up the core of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation aka "Reformed theology."
They absolutely are top notch Bible teachers.. Praise God for them and others like them. You need to change your teaching and stop being a false teacher. You are the one who needs the Jesus of the Bible.
I am not a calvinist but no teachers are 100%. It is easy to see from scripture why calvinists make their conclusions but it does not mean that they are wrong on every theological matter, in fact Macarthur, Sproul, Wilson are very good teachers of the word. It is unrealistic to expect agreement in all matters theological
@@johornbuckle5272 Yeah. Tell that to the dude who made the video then!!!! No one is perfect, neither is the preacher in the video and I would like to know where he got his degree. Education matters too! Clear?
Two words that every person should follow without reservation and with all their heart, soul, and mind: FOLLOW JESUS! In addition to that: LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, and mind; and LOVE thy neighbor as thyself. What does all this division profit anyone? And is it not a good thing that a man should EXAMINE HIMSELF to see if he truly be in the faith? Should he not WORK OUT his salvation with fear and trembling KNOWING that in the most serious sense that SALVATION IS OF THE LORD? Who is it that is the Author and the Finisher of our faith and Who is it that performs all things after the counsel of His own will? Beloved, if you love Him Who died for us and rose again to intercede for us, should we not be obedient to Him? If we walk in darkness then it is He Who tells us that we deceive ourselves; and if the light you have is darkness than how dark that darkness truly is. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Make no illusions within your hearts that God will overlook any sin, for He is the discerner of all things within the hearts of men. This preacher is right when he says that we are saved by grace and that no man will or can remove us from the hand of our LORD and Savior but we MUST examine ourselves to ensure we are in the faith and not being deceived, having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof. We must ask ourselves who is the lord of our life? Is it He Who called us out of darkness and snatched us from the pit of death? Or is it ourselves?
The tulip includes Christ only. Is this guy saying he is saved by works? Tulip includes Solo Scriptura meaning the Bible only ony - no " God told me". Is he say Hod speaks to him? And there is you can't lose your salvation. He can? He's wrong on so many levels. And neither RC or John require you to forsake all.
Born a sinner / with sinful flesh, dualism and imputed righteousness are Gnostic reinterpretations of the Gospel. The earliest Church Fathers are against it in obedience to the original Gospel.
There can be no works of the flesh for SALVATION. Willful sinning in the flesh without repentance does not negate the original saving of the soul, yet the flesh can be given over to death/call-back. 1 Cor. 1:1-5; a sinning believer fornicating willfully, yet still saved, but taken out in the flesh. 2 Cor. 12:19-21. "Beloved", yet still sinning; not lost, just sinning in the flesh, yet "dearly beloved"; believers that sin (that's all of the believers that still breath mortal life). God is the initiator for salvation according to His will and fulfilled the way of spiritual salvation/rebirth of the souls that reciprocate His calling to believe on Jesus' offer of his innocent blood on the cross for ALL sinners. Should our enemy accuse us of anything we do in the way of sin after salvation, the Lord legally turns him away due to the fact that a believer is saved by the Lord's sovereign will, not anything the sinner did or will do or not do or wants to do or ought to do or have done or anything Satan can throw at the Lord's children as proof of our validity to be rejectedof heaven. Willful ignorance can also be construed to be a sin done by a sinner on purpose, but that cannot un-save/un-birth him/her IF they were already saved at the time. Kapish?
You cant earn it. It is imputed righteousness. However you need to bear fruit. See Jesus's three parables of the kingdom. Or the story of Gods vineyard that produced wild grapes. Or the story of the tree that bared no fruit.
@@Rom4five 14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[b] is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Jesus says "I am the truth" I will never follow "ism" . Everyone has a chance to accept Christ. If people are elected, then why would Jesus send His apostles into the world to preach the Gospel! That would be a waste of time. Christ died for the world. Does Calvinist 💯 percent certain they are chosen? I know where I stand with Christ today!
1-If you are truly saved, your life will show it. 2-Tozer (not a Calvinist) adhered to Lordship Salvation 3- If you think you can live like hell yet be saved scripture has a lot to say about that. You can't. 4-Jesus is called Lord 4x more than Savior. That should say something. This guy literally has no idea,none what Lordship Salvation is.
I've examined at length, as many have, the dichotomies between Calvinism and Armenianism. I'm beginning to see that the Achilles heel of classical Calvinism involves their understanding of sanctification. God freely justifies then man takes the baton and finishes the race. Hmm.... nope.
@@naturematt4340 I have heard that ,but not with my own ears. Google Calvinist Preachers a long list has all the names then look at what a Calvinists believes. Check it for yourself
No use speaking evil of other preachers if you yourself don't have the most basic understanding of the difference between saving grace through faith and sanctification, which is a lifelong process. And go read Romans properly.
To Any Christian: once I believed exactly as you do; I was, if anything, too faithful to the Word. Study itself has taught me some things. Can *any one of you prove the Trinity* (without using that "interpolation", 1John 5:7-8)?
@KamaMarga320. You asked if anyone could prove the Trinity without using I John 5:7. There are many verses showing , Three Persons that are ALL EQUAL and each carries the name "GOD". (For through Him[Jesus] we both [Jew&Gentile] have access by one Spirit [Holy Spirit] unto the Father [God the Father] Eph 2:18 . Notice the equality in the question "Who raised Jesus from the dead?" God the Father (I Thes 1:10) God the Son ( John 2:19) God the Holy Spirit (I Pet 3:18) The TRINITY is the GOD of the Bible . "And the Lord God said, Let Us make man in our image...." Gen 1:26. Notice the "US" in Gen 3:22, 11:7 , Isa 6:8
this guy doesn't have a clue, he never heard of the Doctrine of Election, and he believes that you can get saved without God's calling... he also doesn't believe, or understand, once saved, always saved..
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? The doctrines of grace are completely biblical. Sorry brother, you are simply wrong.
John McArthur has been expositing from scripture alone for over 50 years. The doctrines of Calvanism would be better named doctrines of the bible. Narcigesis preaching we have to be careful brother and sisters in Christ! The way is narrow and few who find it.
I don’t believe God chooses some to save and some to damn - I believe He gives us every chance to choose Him. But I love John Macs teaching - if I’m doing something wrong God will set me straight! In His own way
This guy attributes way more works-based salvation to the listed teachers when they would totally reject works-based salvation. If you do not realize Jesus is Lord how can you say you are saved. And all the teachers listed would tell youbwecand they still sin. They are sll about grace-based salvation. I can't listen to any more if this blatant misrepresentation of these faithful bible teachers.
Exactly NONE of these teachers preach works based salvation. How many false Christian’s are there who claim they ,accepted’ Jesus and now their saved only to just return to their sinful life. Alter calls are ridiculous!
I've heard before that these faithful teachers are teaching works...completely wrong. They don't teach that works save. They teach that works are EVIDENCE of salvation.
@@wib50 The faith we receive from GOD can not be given by Him to be placed any where else it is impossible. It is impossible to use the Godly gift to work for evel or for satan.

A GOOD TEACHER KNOWS HOW TO TEST THEIR STUDENTS. This man is useful to Our Teacher in testing US! If fact all of you are useful to Our Teacher > IN TESTING ME > 🤪 SOME VERY USEFUL SCRIPTURES: 1 Corinthians 5:5 NLT Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns. 1 Timothy 1:19-20 NLT [19] Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. [20] Hymenaeus and Alexander are two examples. I threw them out and handed them over to Satan so they might learn not to blaspheme God.
Pro tip if you’re going to preach against something (e.g. Lordship salvation) you should be able to articulate it so you don’t look like a fool. Also, if you believe that Christ died to merely save us from the consequences of sin, but does not also set us free from the power of sin, then you are presenting a false gospel. Finally, stay away from the book of first John. You absolutely will not like it.
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. Please ask yourself, do you sin not?
I tend to agree with everything said here and I do not believe that repentance is necessarily being discounted, but it certainly is not emphasized. I don't see Lordship salvation as works based, but rather reveals evidence. Where I disagree with Calvanists are the issues of free will and I believe this is a flaw but still doesn't exclude them from being brothers and sisters in Christ.
This poor, confused, false teacher - reads the clear Word of God and doesn't refute it with Scripture, but turns to his bulletin to read some man-centered falsehood. John 14:15 - "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments" Romans 6:1-2 - "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?" Romans 6:15 - "What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!" Romans 6:22-23 - "But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit, leading to sanctification, and the end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." The example of making Jesus Lord of our lives is replete throughout the Word, so I'm not going to type it all here. 2 Corinthians 13:5-6 - "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you - unless indeed you fail the test? But I hope that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test." James 2:18-19 - "But someone will say, "You have faith; and I have works. Show me your faith without the works and I will show you my faith by my works." You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder."
SHOULD a SAVED person serve the Lord Jesus Christ? By all means. Is SERVICE a MUST for SALVATION? By no means. Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what MUST I do to be saved? Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
@@Rom4five You CAN NOT serve Christ until AFTER you're saved. Works is not a requirement for salvation - nobody is saying that. However, once you're saved, you WILL do good works just as I've laid out in my post above. Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Matthew 7:17-20 - “So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So then, you will know them by their fruits.

This is exactly right. Some people front load the gospel and others back load the gospel. Free Grace.
Everyone I know that believes in free Grace has fruit and doesn’t believe that you can live however you want.
Indeed that is the Truth. How can you be in grace and allow sin to abound? God FORBID!!! However, and with great sadness, there are so many who have been led to believe that they are saved irregardless of their behavior. I would ask if they truly believe what they said they do! If they do, their fruits will show it…and not just on Sunday morning. We know from the Word of Jesus that there will be MANY who will assert they know Him and have done many great things IN HIS NAME and He will proclaim to them, “Depart from me YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY, for I NEVER knew you.” If we truly believe and love Him, we will obey His commandments.
If that last sentence is true, you're lucky. You must've never run across a "carnal christian" that believes the opposite.
The reason Jesus has to come into your heart and not the leg, arm, eye, etc., is because the Jeremiah 17:9 says only the heart (inner man, not the physical anatomical body part) is wicked and desperately evil. Although, if that leg, arm, or eye (physical), causes one to stumble and go to hell, better to cut it off and enter heaven halt, than enter hell whole. As for the heart transplant surgical procedure (15:00 min mark), A Christian can transplant their heart (physical) into an atheist and they will remain an unbeliever and lost. Being a Christian is a spiritual matter as Jesus completely explains in John 3.
I am not Reformed, but these men are our brothers in Christ; I will address this in a video that I will post tomorrow.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
I am sorry but in all respect it does not sound that Dr Arnold has read his Bible! He has also not really listened to what these great preachers teach.
You think they are preaching sinless perfection which is heresy? You are wrong then. Read again Paul's letters. Read James...faith without works...The Spirit will testify you are saved and you need to follow Christ (and his commands). Christ will keep you sanctified by a renewal of your mind. This is not of your will but God.
No, jmac and the others will tell you they don't teach perfection. This means they teach some level of imperfect obedience for salvation. That is heresy. That why the christian vew is 100 percent perfection, wich is only possible by Christ's perfection imputed to the believer.
James it to jews during the tribulation
I'm sorry sir but a person can know that he/she is going to Heaven.
Sorry Sir John Macarthur does not base
his Doctrine of Salvation from Calvinism but from the Bible itself as Jesus Christ's own teaching.😊😊😊
"No man comes to Me ( Christ) the Father draws the "=JESUS, "I did not receive this gospel through the teaching of man nor the will of man but by revelation"= PAUL. "the things that are impossible for man are possible for God"= JESUS. you decide.
But Jesus said in John. 14:6, "I am the way the truth and the life NO ONE cometh to the Father but by me " so how can a sinner be drawn by the father to Jesus if Jesus is the way to the Father? The problem with false calvinist doctrine is they dont understand the context of the verse and misuse in a face value interpretation.
There is clear "CONTEXT" in John chapter 6 when Jesus said" no can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raised him up in the last day."
The context is in verse
John 6:41-43 KJV - 41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father
and mother we know? HOW is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
John 6:44 KJV - 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day
Jesus is actually saying to the jews who are murmuring, he came down from heaven why? Because NO MAN CAN COME TO HIM, the father has to send him from heaven to the earth. He even used the example of Moses time that just as the manna that fell from heaven, in the same manner he compares himself as the true MANNA that came down from heaven, if he was not sent down from heaven, NO MAN CAN COME TO HIM.
That is why in John 3:16-17 Jesus said in
John 3:16-17 KJV - 16 For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
That is why its very obvious that these calvinist false teachers has manipulated the verse into a false ideology of Father choosing only some using the verse OUT OF CONTEXT.
Only the elect have eternal life.
Believe God!
What Bible verse says that?
Jesus is the elect. We have eternal life through Him!
For the correct definition of grace, see Titus chapter 2
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Excuse me pastor but that's not what John MacArthur's saying he's saying that God has four knowledge he doesn't pick but he knows who's going to pick him and he knows who's not and he accepts the people that fix them therefore he has four knowledge not that he picks himself he knows who picks him because he has four knowledge you have it backwards pastor but you are wrong it's not what he is saying
Wrong. John Macarthur does not teach God "knows who will choose Him, and based on this knowing, calls those people "elect". " Wrong. He teaches the bible correctly: God, of His own free will, determines who He will save and who He will pass by. This is scriptural and also what reformed theology teaches.
@@denisesmith3544 And God has determined to save all who believe and profess the risen Christ. The fallacy with Macarthur and all Calvinists is that they teach humankind has no free will. That is not biblical.
awesome preaching! Lewis Sperry Chafer would have rejoiced!
Lordship is anthropocentric, seeking the glory of men.
"Just believe" is theocentric, giving all the Glory to God.
The ultimate purpose of God is even higher then saving people. It is doxological, i.e. that God would be glorified throughout all of the ages. (Ephesians 3:21, etc ...)
Do You Believe? Acts 16:29-31 The Jailer Fell down before Paul and Silas and Said Sirs "What Must I Do to Be SAVED? And they(Paul and Silas) Said "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and Thou Shalt BE SAVED"!!! Again I Ask Do You Believe ON JESUS???????
Great mesage, biblical truth. Great example of the tax collector and pharisee.
Matthew 3:10 NKJV
And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
1 John 1:5-7 NKJV
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. [6] If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. [7] But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 2:3-6 NKJV
[3] Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. [4] He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. [6] He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Go to the parts of the bible that say' there are those that God will not allow to hear what He is teaching. Lest they believe and be saved. If you can still aim at true Christians by neglecting the parts of the bible, without using basic deduction then you are not rejecting John Macarthur, John Piper, or any of them, you are rejecting God. God does not will that any should perish, but this does not mean that He won't Judge those who willfully reject the Lord. Remember Nazareth. Don't base your teaching out of spite in hopes of starting a division in the church, base your teaching off of the word of the Lord.
Silly message really. Everyone should know John 3:16. The rest is up to the Holy Spirit who doesn't relent.
Jesus said to the adulterous woman: go and sin no more. And He said: be perfect as My Father in Heaven is perfect. Indeed: do not trust the preacher.
Are you perfect sir? For whosoever shall keep the law and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all. You must be perfect to make it in heaven. There is none rightheous(perfect/sinless) no not one.
Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.
@@Rom4five we must be. You did not look into the context of there is no one righteous not even one. You, sir, are a philosopher.
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
The righteous go to Heaven, the wicked to hell according to Paul's Gospel (Romans 2). So the one living like the devil goes to hell. Anyone else preaching another gospel is accursed according to Galatians 6.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
To Tom torb. How is a christian " righteous" before God???
@Rom4five 2 Corinthians 5 ... all my sins were imputed to Jesus and he paid for them all before I was born! When I believe it is finished... I'm saved . It's finished
Faith without works is dead, true. But works come after salvation as a reasonable service not before and are not a condition for salvation. In other words God says that those things done after salvation are for rewards in heaven.
It's not what they're saying he's saying that God works on you in progress that you are perfect because nobody's perfect nobody can be perfect but you have faith in Jesus Christ and death and resurrection and he'll work on you in the progress and you won't want to send and therefore you change you turn around it's not what you say
Calvinism's false doctrine of "predestination" is no different from the Islamic doctrine of fatalism:
1) The Islamic Surah Ibrahim 14:4 - "And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and ALLAH SENDS ASTRAY(THEREBY) WHOM HE WILLS AND GUIDES WHOM HE WILLS. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
2) The Islamic Surah 2:6-7 states, "It is the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe. ALLAH HAS SET A SEAL ON THEIR HEARTS AND ON THEIR HEARING. AND ON THEIR EYES IS A VEIL; GREAT IS THE CHASTISEMENT THEY INCUR."
3) John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, section 5 - "SOME ARE PREORDAINED TO ETERNAL LIFE, OTHERS TO ETERNAL DAMNATION, and accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of those ends, we say that he has been predestined to life or death."
4) "That owing to one man all pass into condemnation who are born of Adam unless they are born again in Christ, even as He has appointed them to be regenerated, before they die in the body, whom He PREDESTINATED TO EVERLASTING LIFE, as the most merciful bestower of grace; while to those whom He HAS PREDESTINATED TO ETERNAL DEATH, He is also the most righteous awarder of punishment not only on account of the sins which they add in the indulgence of their own will, but also because of their original sin, even if, as in the case of infants, they add nothing thereto. Now this is my definite view on that question, so that the hidden things of God may keep their secret, without impairing my own faith." - Augustine, City of God, On the Soul and its Origin, Book 4, Chapter 16.
5) In Islam, in the 2nd stage of "Taqdeer" (fate), it states that "Allah made a divine decree after the creation of Adam. Allah took out all of the progeny of Adam (i.e. all of the humans from the beginning of time until the end of time), and asked them "Am I not your Lord?" and all of the humans responded "We testify that You are our Lord!" THEN ALLAH DECREED TO THEM WHO SHALL GO TO PARADISE AND WHO SHALL GO TO HELL."
6) In Islam, Allah is exalted and pleased as he sends people to hell: this is the fatalistic claim of Islam. Fatalism is a belief that events are fixed in advance for all time in such a manner that human beings are powerless to change them. In this case, Allah will send to heaven whomever he pleases, and send to hell whomever he pleases. ("Unveiling Islam: An Insider’s Look at Muslim Life and Beliefs" pages 31-32, by authors Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner Grand Rapids, MI: Kregel Publications, 2002.)
You better be told to search your heart and be sure you're saved. Anyone telling us this should be considered a true friend ♡
Lordship is not calvinism.
And it is 100% the gospel.
God comes first or not at all.
Calvinism spawned from Augustine's false teachings in his "City of God" writings where all 5 points of the Calvinistic "tulip" can be found in his writings, but going under different titles and headings. Augustine is also the father of Roman Catholicism. These teachings were later extracted and refined by John Calvin who ardently admired Augustine and incorporated Augustine's teachings into his own writings in his "institutes of the christian religion." It is these false teachings that make up the core of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation aka "Reformed theology."
They absolutely are top notch Bible teachers.. Praise God for them and others like them. You need to change your teaching and stop being a false teacher. You are the one who needs the Jesus of the Bible.
By they, do you mean John Mcarthur and company ?
@@telabib yes, those the guy is talking about
I am not a calvinist but no teachers are 100%. It is easy to see from scripture why calvinists make their conclusions but it does not mean that they are wrong on every theological matter, in fact Macarthur, Sproul, Wilson are very good teachers of the word. It is unrealistic to expect agreement in all matters theological
@@johornbuckle5272 Yeah. Tell that to the dude who made the video then!!!! No one is perfect, neither is the preacher in the video and I would like to know where he got his degree. Education matters too! Clear?
Two words that every person should follow without reservation and with all their heart, soul, and mind: FOLLOW JESUS! In addition to that: LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, and mind; and LOVE thy neighbor as thyself. What does all this division profit anyone? And is it not a good thing that a man should EXAMINE HIMSELF to see if he truly be in the faith? Should he not WORK OUT his salvation with fear and trembling KNOWING that in the most serious sense that SALVATION IS OF THE LORD? Who is it that is the Author and the Finisher of our faith and Who is it that performs all things after the counsel of His own will? Beloved, if you love Him Who died for us and rose again to intercede for us, should we not be obedient to Him? If we walk in darkness then it is He Who tells us that we deceive ourselves; and if the light you have is darkness than how dark that darkness truly is. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Make no illusions within your hearts that God will overlook any sin, for He is the discerner of all things within the hearts of men. This preacher is right when he says that we are saved by grace and that no man will or can remove us from the hand of our LORD and Savior but we MUST examine ourselves to ensure we are in the faith and not being deceived, having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof. We must ask ourselves who is the lord of our life? Is it He Who called us out of darkness and snatched us from the pit of death? Or is it ourselves?
The tulip includes Christ only. Is this guy saying he is saved by works? Tulip includes Solo Scriptura meaning the Bible only ony - no " God told me". Is he say Hod speaks to him? And there is you can't lose your salvation. He can? He's wrong on so many levels. And neither RC or John require you to forsake all.
Eph.2: 8,9
Born a sinner / with sinful flesh, dualism and imputed righteousness are Gnostic reinterpretations of the Gospel. The earliest Church Fathers are against it in obedience to the original Gospel.
There can be no works of the flesh for SALVATION. Willful sinning in the flesh without repentance does not negate the original saving of the soul, yet the flesh can be given over to death/call-back. 1 Cor. 1:1-5; a sinning believer fornicating willfully, yet still saved, but taken out in the flesh. 2 Cor. 12:19-21. "Beloved", yet still sinning; not lost, just sinning in the flesh, yet "dearly beloved"; believers that sin (that's all of the believers that still breath mortal life). God is the initiator for salvation according to His will and fulfilled the way of spiritual salvation/rebirth of the souls that reciprocate His calling to believe on Jesus' offer of his innocent blood on the cross for ALL sinners. Should our enemy accuse us of anything we do in the way of sin after salvation, the Lord legally turns him away due to the fact that a believer is saved by the Lord's sovereign will, not anything the sinner did or will do or not do or wants to do or ought to do or have done or anything Satan can throw at the Lord's children as proof of our validity to be rejectedof heaven. Willful ignorance can also be construed to be a sin done by a sinner on purpose, but that cannot un-save/un-birth him/her IF they were already saved at the time. Kapish?
Is this Legalism he's talking About? That means l have earn it to go to heaven? Then it' means it not Grace anymore?
You cant earn it. It is imputed righteousness. However you need to bear fruit. See Jesus's three parables of the kingdom. Or the story of Gods vineyard that produced wild grapes. Or the story of the tree that bared no fruit.
Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
@@Rom4five 14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[b] is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
@@Rom4five legalism is at play?
@@Rom4five its all about Grace? We can't earn it Folks?
Jesus says "I am the truth" I will never follow "ism" . Everyone has a chance to accept Christ. If people are elected, then why would Jesus send His apostles into the world to preach the Gospel! That would be a waste of time. Christ died for the world. Does Calvinist 💯 percent certain they are chosen? I know where I stand with Christ today!
1-If you are truly saved, your life will show it.
2-Tozer (not a Calvinist) adhered to Lordship Salvation
3- If you think you can live like hell yet be saved scripture has a lot to say about that. You can't.
4-Jesus is called Lord 4x more than Savior. That should say something.
This guy literally has no idea,none what Lordship Salvation is.
To 1peter315. If you truly saved your life will prove it. Prove it to whom??
14.50 I wish you would ask Him to come into your brain!
I've examined at length, as many have, the dichotomies between Calvinism and Armenianism. I'm beginning to see that the Achilles heel of classical Calvinism involves their understanding of sanctification. God freely justifies then man takes the baton and finishes the race. Hmm.... nope.
That is not at all what Calvinists believe.
This man is leading souls down the wide path. John MacArthur speaks the truths of God and the Bible. DON'T BE DECEIVED
Can a person take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven? John macarthur says, "YES"
John Macarthur IS the BEST Christian Pastor ever!!!

@@naturematt4340 I have heard that ,but not with my own ears. Google Calvinist Preachers a long list has all the names then look at what a Calvinists believes. Check it for yourself
No use speaking evil of other preachers if you yourself don't have the most basic understanding of the difference between saving grace through faith and sanctification, which is a lifelong process. And go read Romans properly.
To Any Christian: once I believed exactly as you do; I was, if anything, too faithful to the Word. Study itself has taught me some things. Can *any one of you prove the Trinity* (without using that "interpolation", 1John 5:7-8)?
@KamaMarga320. You asked if anyone could prove the Trinity without using I John 5:7. There are many verses showing , Three Persons that are ALL EQUAL and each carries the name "GOD". (For through Him[Jesus] we both [Jew&Gentile] have access by one Spirit [Holy Spirit] unto the Father [God the Father] Eph 2:18 . Notice the equality in the question "Who raised Jesus from the dead?" God the Father (I Thes 1:10) God the Son ( John 2:19) God the Holy Spirit (I Pet 3:18) The TRINITY is the GOD of the Bible . "And the Lord God said, Let Us make man in our image...." Gen 1:26. Notice the "US" in Gen 3:22, 11:7 , Isa 6:8
this guy doesn't have a clue, he never heard of the Doctrine of Election, and he believes that you can get saved without God's calling... he also doesn't believe, or understand, once saved, always saved..
@myname9856 Read Gal 5:17 and admit that you're guilty too!
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
The doctrines of grace are completely biblical. Sorry brother, you are simply wrong.
John McArthur has been expositing from scripture alone for over 50 years. The doctrines of Calvanism would be better named doctrines of the bible. Narcigesis preaching we have to be careful brother and sisters in Christ! The way is narrow and few who find it.
John Mcarthur believes a person can take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven
Calvinism is damnable heresy, and has no place in Christianity in any sense of the word. Repent and believe the Gospel.
I don’t believe God chooses some to save and some to damn - I believe He gives us every chance to choose Him. But I love John Macs teaching - if I’m doing something wrong God will set me straight! In His own way
You do not beleive it but the Bible says that God had chosen His children before the creation of the world !
This guy attributes way more works-based salvation to the listed teachers when they would totally reject works-based salvation. If you do not realize Jesus is Lord how can you say you are saved. And all the teachers listed would tell youbwecand they still sin. They are sll about grace-based salvation. I can't listen to any more if this blatant misrepresentation of these faithful bible teachers.
Exactly NONE of these teachers preach works based salvation. How many false Christian’s are there who claim they ,accepted’ Jesus and now their saved only to just return to their sinful life. Alter calls are ridiculous!
If you ever get saved you'll realize Calvinism isn't Christianity in any sense.
I've heard before that these faithful teachers are teaching works...completely wrong. They don't teach that works save. They teach that works are EVIDENCE of salvation.
You have not heard them talk; you not know of what you speak. You are in error.
This preacher is wrong about God. Faith is a gift the Bible says so and so it is!
Yes faith is a gift from God. The question is dopoeple have a choice where to place that faith.
@@wib50 The faith we receive from GOD can not be given by Him to be placed any where else it is impossible. It is impossible to use the Godly gift to work for evel or for satan.

SOME VERY USEFUL SCRIPTURES:
1 Corinthians 5:5 NLT
Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns.
1 Timothy 1:19-20 NLT
[19] Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. [20] Hymenaeus and Alexander are two examples. I threw them out and handed them over to Satan so they might learn not to blaspheme God.
He needs to repent of accusing faithful men of God of being false teachers and falsely accusing them of teaching works based salvation.
@Marsand100 You need to repent and turn from the false doctrine of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation which Paul Washer espouses.
Pro tip if you’re going to preach against something (e.g. Lordship salvation) you should be able to articulate it so you don’t look like a fool.
Also, if you believe that Christ died to merely save us from the consequences of sin, but does not also set us free from the power of sin, then you are presenting a false gospel.
Finally, stay away from the book of first John. You absolutely will not like it.
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Please ask yourself, do you sin not?
I think you should read. Galatians 6:3. That is you 100 percent . But if you don’t like that one please read Romans 12:3. . You need work .
I tend to agree with everything said here and I do not believe that repentance is necessarily being discounted, but it certainly is not emphasized. I don't see Lordship salvation as works based, but rather reveals evidence. Where I disagree with Calvanists are the issues of free will and I believe this is a flaw but still doesn't exclude them from being brothers and sisters in Christ.
Macarthur, Sproul, etc, are FAITHFUL expositors of true biblical teaching
This poor, confused, false teacher - reads the clear Word of God and doesn't refute it with Scripture, but turns to his bulletin to read some man-centered falsehood.
John 14:15 - "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments"
Romans 6:1-2 - "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?"
Romans 6:15 - "What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!"
Romans 6:22-23 - "But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit, leading to sanctification, and the end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The example of making Jesus Lord of our lives is replete throughout the Word, so I'm not going to type it all here.
2 Corinthians 13:5-6 - "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you - unless indeed you fail the test? But I hope that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test."
James 2:18-19 - "But someone will say, "You have faith; and I have works. Show me your faith without the works and I will show you my faith by my works." You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder."
SHOULD a SAVED person serve the Lord Jesus Christ? By all means. Is SERVICE a MUST for SALVATION? By no means.
Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what MUST I do to be saved?
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
@@Rom4five You CAN NOT serve Christ until AFTER you're saved. Works is not a requirement for salvation - nobody is saying that. However, once you're saved, you WILL do good works just as I've laid out in my post above.
Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."
Matthew 7:17-20 - “So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So then, you will know them by their fruits.
