This is the most incredible speech I’ve heard. Congratulations to the graduates. I pray everything Pastor said remains in your heart till we return to the Lord ❤ Well done!
Thank you Pastor John P. Remember that Day will Come! Rejoice I say it again Rejoice. Malachi 3: 16-18. God Saved The World Through His One An Only Son! John 3: 16-21 Now we are Justified Romans 5: 1-2 ff To the Glory of God, in Christ Jesus Name Amen.
When Jesus tells his followers not to rejoice that evil spirits submitted to them but to rejoice that their names are written in heaven, he doesn't mean that they shouldn't rejoice at all in the submission of evil spirits. What he means is that they should rejoice in both but much more that their names are written in heaven. There are other examples of this way of speaking in the Bible, where we have a 'not A but B' pattern, where A and B are both true but B is more important. So, for example, in Matt 9:13 Jesus quotes Hosea 6:6: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' Actually, God desired both mercy and sacrifice, but the mercy was much more important. Similarly, in Gal 2:20 Paul says: 'I no longer live but Christ lives in me.' Obviously Paul is still living, but he is saying that Christ's living in him is the much more important thing. 1 Cor 15:10 and 2 Cor 7:12 are other examples of this kind of pattern.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Amen its one of the greatest things to be made free by Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God.
Glory to our God Jesus Christ;thank you for preachings. Maybe I don’t understand some thing or miss some thing with about 72 disciples? May God bless everybody🙏🕊
My thoughts are as follows; according to Revelation 13:8; its the Lamb of God that was slain before the foundations of the world NOT the names written in the book at the foundation, before we even existed.
What is success if not qualifying to reign with CHRIST AND GOD FOR 1000 YRS AND BE TOLD WELL DONE GOOD FAITHFUL SERVANT? Are you committed to having treasures saved up in heaven? What are rewards Paul talks of some qualifying for and his hope to be one of them? Christian means missing the mark 🎯 BUT TO THEM HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BE SONS OF GOD TO REIGN AS PRIESTS AND KINGS WITH CHRIST AND GOD FOR 1000 YEARS-;IS SUCCESS MISSING THE MARK OR BEING REWARDED AS A SON OF GOD TO REIGN FOR 1000 YEARS??
Everything that he said love it !!❤️ But how you know if this apply to you or to me ? Simple not by works for sure but the way you lives, the fruits that this salvation produce is so visible, if your life is about you and you think that Jesus died in the cross for you have a good job a good house, a good … definitely you do not understand the Gospel.
Hey Gabriel, i love it also great speech, God made it simple for a reason, if you are a truly saved Christian, and you know the lord put him first in your life and have repented, when you are *saved you are part of Gods eternal kingdom, Jesus said we are here to make his church grow, to show and bring the unsaved to the glory of God that all have fallen short, to show them GOD said there is only 1 way to enter into the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. You must Repent to be born again to have a new heart and put him first in your life, it is a transformation of the heart that you now have repented and can see the truth. I am non denomination, was catholic 20 years ago until i picked the Bible up and was confronted with the truth . I no longer part of mans apostate religions. I belive the Bible Gods word this is the only thing i can truly trust in this world today. *Why cant we just all belive what the bible says what god wants, not try to change different meanings or look at it in a different way. If he wanted us to look at it in any different way, dont you think he would of told us.🤔
Agree with what is said. I just wish the one carrying the water here hadn't made such a habit of disparaging fathers and husbands who were already beat down from trying but failing, yet struggling to get up and do it right.
- Jesus sent out 72 disciples to heal the sick and announce the Kingdom of God's arrival. - The disciples returned with joy, reporting that even demons were subject to them in Jesus' name. - Jesus responded by saying that their greater joy should come from having their names written in heaven. - Having one's name written in heaven signifies being saved and redeemed, predestined by God, and adopted as His child. - Jesus advised valuing salvation more than ministry success, as it guards against legalism, promotes authenticity, glorifies God, fuels love, eases the fear of death, and ensures facing God without shame.
^^^ TIME HAS RUN OUT !! Tribulation - 9th of AV ! BERISHEET 2023-2030 !! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I will give Him praise that I am mortal and will be burned up rather than suffer an eternal pain as the immortal fallen angels . I will praise Him that he took our parents out of the garden so we in our fallen state would have eaten from the tree of immortality and thus doomed to suffer forever like the fallen angels. Amen. All praise to the Most High in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ. Amen. God bless.
@@Antonio-ti2he That all sounds made up. Certainly not from the Bible. I give you credit for taking the time to type it all out, though. But, I am only concerned about what the Bible says right now. Thanks
@@Antonio-ti2he I repeat, That all sounds made up. Certainly not from the Bible. If it is all in the Bible, cite chapter and verse. Maybe it's in the Apocrypha or something.
@@davidvanwye8108 Genesis 3:22 But now, since he has not observed what I commanded him, let us decree against him, and let us banish him from the Garden of Eden, before he puts forth his hand and takes (also) of the fruit of the tree of life. For behold, if he eats of it, he will live and endure forever." This and many other verses tell us that man is mortal and will not be tormented forever. Only the fallen angels. Only God's chosen receive immortality and will not perish. Here , I will show you Jesus confirming this: John 10:27-28 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. This is the mercy of God. The same mercy which now has the fallen roaming the earth until Christ returns to put them down. God bless! If you do not see it with these verses then I encourage you to take it to the Lord in prayer and search it out for yourself and if the Holy Spirit wishes for you to see then you will see.
No my friend, it’s easy to say because our strength comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth, it’s easy to say because His grace is always sufficient for each day and it’s easy to say because we hope in God’s promises “and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”(Romans 5:5)
If it's with finances, we all make poor decisions in our career paths in our spending habits etc. You're not the only one, but it doesn't change what we should be rejoicing in.
Here's John Piper preaching that you're not saved by faith in Christ but by your own works powered by God's grace: czcams.com/video/s9R_eNNPLLQ/video.html This is in full contradiction to Romans 3:28, John 5:24, John 6:28-29, Acts 16:30-31, Ephesiasn 1:13-14, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Romans 6:23, Romans 4:1-8, and Galatians 3. Funny that John Piper is a heretic who says you can't know you've been saved until you are judged for the fruit you bore all your life and that you better cooperate with God to bear enough fruit for "Final Salvation" which is his made up fairy doctrine that doesnt exist in the Bible. Now hes here saying it's great to be saved (past tense)...ok.
@@RevDavidReyes if anything, engaging with theology and apologetics, especially from the so-called sophisticated spokespeople of these subjects, has nourished my skepticism. The degrees of bs and mental gymnastics these people deploy has not necessarily convinced that there is no god, but if one exists, it cannot be the one they are talking about, not an omnipotent, omniscient one, who wants to get his message across, and not one who hates lies, when the only way his representatives seem to be able to perpetuate belief in him, is through lies. What these people present as sophistication is indeed sophistry.
@@hustlehustlehustle Not sure what you're on about. Seems like you might be looking for attention or something. That's fine for you to think that. Nobody is stopping you. Nobody is 'selling' you anything, mr hustle. Just remember, no excuse (1 Corinthians 1:18; Revelation 22:11; Romans 1:20).
How does a Christian know if his/her name is written in Heaven? Everyone know if he/she has succeeded because tangible evidences of success are present. Jesus sent the 72 disciples to do work, as his servants in the work field. When they returned with success, Jesus said to them: rejoice because your names are written in Heaven. You see ▪︎ Jesus was bringing them to the next level in their growth - to be servants or apostles. ▪︎ the 72 had already their names written in Heaven - because they were DISCIPLES! Now, one desiring to enter the Kingdom of Heaven must necessarily go through five stages: ▪︎1. BELIEVER - believe that Jesus is Saviour, sent by the the LORD God into the world. ▪︎2. FOLLOWER - love and follow Jesus’s teachings, learning about the Kingdom of Heaven. ▪︎3. DISCIPLE - obey Jesus’s commandments, and be engaged in real life training to attain righteousness. ▪︎4. APOSTLE - be appointed servant by the Father, to serve Himself and to Lord Jesus. ▪︎5. CHILD OF GOD - the Father takes him/her as son/daughter, as a servant is taken in His Household. One who is follower, will receive the Holy Spirit, and be born again in spirit, and his/her name written in the book of the Lamb, in Heaven. When one has attained apostleship, the Holy Spirit takes permanent residence and one is guaranteed salvation, and a place in Heaven and in all eternity. So now Pastor John, gauge your students, listeners, even yourself according to these stages. I dare say, most Christians are just at "believer" stage!
Hi friend, I'm not sure what your goal is; however, I fear your teaching without scripture may turn some who are not mature in faith away. It sounds as if you are judging the work of your brother in Christ who does cite scripture without providing that same factual basis.
@@jeremybaker7344 I didn't cite Bible verses because I assumed you already knew them in the four Gospel accounts. Everything I have written is wholly consistent with Jesus Christ's teachings. But if you wish me to rewrite with Bible verses, let me know. As you don't appear familiar with that I have written, perhaps you have not studied, or were not given to understand (Mt 13:11), the words of Jesus. Now, let me tell you on what authority do I have to say all these things to you. I list them below: ▪︎I have traversed the full stretch of Jesus's Way (Jn 14:6). ▪︎Jesus taught me Truth (abundance of knowledge, Mt 13:12), gave me Life (even never ever dying, Jn 11:26), and I have come to my Father (Jn 14:6, 23). ▪︎I have reached all five stages - believer, follower, disciple, servant, and God’s son. ▪︎The journey took 32 years through painful fires (dying to sin-nature, excruciating physical pain), frightening waters (facing dangers, persecutionm, even facing Satan) but I was also amply blessed with wonderful miracles and times of refreshing rest. I was brought into literal death, to the door of Paradise, but I returned to fulfil my covenant with the LORD. ▪︎The LORD God has now appointed me servant. As Jesus sent his disciples, so he sends me, in this day to the world. There are others like me, each in his alloted field. ▪︎And so I obey, and I write to you, and also to the others that He gives me to write. My mission? See Mt 28:18-20 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Therefore, I am speaking on the AUTHORITY of the ONE who sends me - Jesus Christ. The Father watches over His servants' work, until His Kingdom of God is established on earth. Mt 4:7, Jn 3:3,5, Mt 6:10 Please believe me, or challenge me on the veracity of what I have said.
@@reformed2019 ¤ Your 1st question: at which point is one saved? I answer: when one is a genuine follower, see below: ▪︎you are saved when you are born again, in spirit (Jn 3:3,5) ▪︎to be born again, the Holy Spirit must come to you [God and Jesus come as one in the Holy Spirit. Jn 14:23] ▪︎the Holy Spirit will come, only when you show yourself to have loved and obeyed Jesus Jn 14:15-17 ▪︎you can only show yourself "to love and obey Jesus" when you follow him. Jesus repeatedly said "follow me" in his days, didn't he? Mt 16:24 Please note: One is saved for eternal life (Jn 11:25) only when the Holy Spirit remains in him/her. Jn 8:21 If one stops following Jesus or disobeys him, love is no more and the Holy Spirit leaves (Jn 15:4), and one has lost salvation. When one reaches servanthood, one is called apostle. And apostles in this end-times days, never ever die. Jn 11:26 Your 2nd question: where do you think you are in these steps. I answer: ▪︎ step #4 - a servant (apostle) of God, given to serve my Lord Jesus. ▪︎ step #5 - a son of the Father. Bless you for asking questions.
@@RevDavidReyes and the basis you have for speaking gibberish and calling it the Holy Spirit? People spoke known languages then or no? Now run along and join Bill Johnson of Bethel to some grave sucking. "Rev" of what? "heresy?"
@@ernestoybarra7333 Bill Johnson and Bethel are heretical. I never said anything about them. I said that cessationist’s have 0 biblical arguments for cessationism.

"1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ( 😊1st❤).
To the twelve tribe Scattered among the nations:
Greetings.
James 1:2-18( Trails and temptation)
"2 Consider it pure joy😊 my brothers, whenever you face trails of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance(😊❤).
4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you be mature😊❤ and complete, not lacking anything.
5 If any of your lack wisdom, he should ask God( = prayer in Christ) who gives generiously to all who without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 But when he asks, he must believe( trust)(❤😊) and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7 That man should not think he will receives anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double- minded man, unstable in all he does.
9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position.
10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower.
11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and witherd the plant; it blossome falls and its beauty is destroyed.
In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.
12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trails, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempted anyone;
14 but each one is temptes when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; amd sin, when it is full- grown, gives birth to death.
16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.
17 Every good😊❤ and perfect gift😊❤ is from above😊❤, coming down from the Father( God( 😊100%❤ ) our Father in heaven) of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
18 He chose to give us birth😊❤ through the word❤😊 of truth😊❤, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created."( James 1:2-18 Trails and temptation Zondervan NIV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus( 😊1st❤). In Jesus'name, i pray( James 1:1-18 😊❤) Amen.

To the Glory of God, in Christ Jesus Name Amen.
Amen!
Everything is downstream of Christ!
When Jesus tells his followers not to rejoice that evil spirits submitted to them but to rejoice that their names are written in heaven, he doesn't mean that they shouldn't rejoice at all in the submission of evil spirits. What he means is that they should rejoice in both but much more that their names are written in heaven.
There are other examples of this way of speaking in the Bible, where we have a 'not A but B' pattern, where A and B are both true but B is more important.
So, for example, in Matt 9:13 Jesus quotes Hosea 6:6:
'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'
Actually, God desired both mercy and sacrifice, but the mercy was much more important.
Similarly, in Gal 2:20 Paul says:
'I no longer live but Christ lives in me.'
Obviously Paul is still living, but he is saying that Christ's living in him is the much more important thing.
1 Cor 15:10 and 2 Cor 7:12 are other examples of this kind of pattern.
Thank you for opening up the scriptures to us :)
I would suggest being saved is succeeding.
One of the best sermons I have ever heard
Yes and Amen..🙏💐🙌
This made me lament, cry.. Thank You

the ending...wow. I hope my life is like this.
Amennn
Be filled
My thoughts are as follows; according to Revelation 13:8; its the Lamb of God that was slain before the foundations of the world NOT the names written in the book at the foundation, before we even existed.
What is success if not qualifying to reign with CHRIST AND GOD FOR 1000 YRS AND BE TOLD WELL DONE GOOD FAITHFUL SERVANT? Are you committed to having treasures saved up in heaven? What are rewards Paul talks of some qualifying for and his hope to be one of them? Christian means missing the mark 🎯 BUT TO THEM HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BE SONS OF GOD TO REIGN AS PRIESTS AND KINGS WITH CHRIST AND GOD FOR 1000 YEARS-;IS SUCCESS MISSING THE MARK OR BEING REWARDED AS A SON OF GOD TO REIGN FOR 1000 YEARS??
Everything that he said love it !!❤️
But how you know if this apply to you or to me ?
Simple not by works for sure but the way you lives, the fruits that this salvation produce is so visible, if your life is about you and you think that Jesus died in the cross for you have a good job a good house, a good … definitely you do not understand the Gospel.
Hey Gabriel, i love it also great speech, God made it simple for a reason, if you are a truly saved Christian, and you know the lord put him first in your life and have repented, when you are *saved you are part of Gods eternal kingdom, Jesus said we are here to make his church grow, to show and bring the unsaved to the glory of God that all have fallen short, to show them GOD said there is only 1 way to enter into the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. You must Repent to be born again to have a new heart and put him first in your life, it is a transformation of the heart that you now have repented and can see the truth. I am non denomination, was catholic 20 years ago until i picked the Bible up and was confronted with the truth . I no longer part of mans apostate religions. I belive the Bible Gods word this is the only thing i can truly trust in this world today. *Why cant we just all belive what the bible says what god wants, not try to change different meanings or look at it in a different way. If he wanted us to look at it in any different way, dont you think he would of told us.🤔
AMEN
Agree with what is said. I just wish the one carrying the water here hadn't made such a habit of disparaging fathers and husbands who were already beat down from trying but failing, yet struggling to get up and do it right.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I only recently started listening to John Piper. How does it seem to you that he has disparaged anyone?
@@therighteousnessofgodinchr2530
Please, tell me why should I run?
Trust on lord

Today's church fights to succeed on earth than to be saved for the eternal kingdom..
What is that clothing piper is wearing it looks cool. What denomination is this? Thanks
I think he is speaking at a graduation. It is his academic garb.
- Jesus sent out 72 disciples to heal the sick and announce the Kingdom of God's arrival.
- The disciples returned with joy, reporting that even demons were subject to them in Jesus' name.
- Jesus responded by saying that their greater joy should come from having their names written in heaven.
- Having one's name written in heaven signifies being saved and redeemed, predestined by God, and adopted as His child.
- Jesus advised valuing salvation more than ministry success, as it guards against legalism, promotes authenticity, glorifies God, fuels love, eases the fear of death, and ensures facing God without shame.
^^^ TIME HAS RUN OUT !! Tribulation - 9th of AV ! BERISHEET 2023-2030 !! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Why not have both? Both are a promise in the Bible. If you believe the saved part why not believe the prosperous part?
Oh wait just saw who was speaking, I hope God predestined me to succeed 🤓
Great message but I would be careful to say Jesus was not careful with what He said
READ THE BOOK OF JOSHUA.
JOSHUA 1 : 9
Hmm. But, what if you turn out to not be one of the elect?
I will give Him praise that I am mortal and will be burned up rather than suffer an eternal pain as the immortal fallen angels . I will praise Him that he took our parents out of the garden so we in our fallen state would have eaten from the tree of immortality and thus doomed to suffer forever like the fallen angels. Amen. All praise to the Most High in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ. Amen. God bless.
@@Antonio-ti2he That all sounds made up. Certainly not from the Bible. I give you credit for taking the time to type it all out, though. But, I am only concerned about what the Bible says right now. Thanks
@@davidvanwye8108 It is all in scripture my friend.
@@Antonio-ti2he I repeat, That all sounds made up. Certainly not from the Bible. If it is all in the Bible, cite chapter and verse. Maybe it's in the Apocrypha or something.
@@davidvanwye8108 Genesis 3:22 But now, since he has not observed what I commanded him, let us decree against him, and let us banish him from the Garden of Eden, before he puts forth his hand and takes (also) of the fruit of the tree of life. For behold, if he eats of it, he will live and endure forever." This and many other verses tell us that man is mortal and will not be tormented forever. Only the fallen angels. Only God's chosen receive immortality and will not perish. Here , I will show you Jesus confirming this: John 10:27-28
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
This is the mercy of God. The same mercy which now has the fallen roaming the earth until Christ returns to put them down.
God bless!
If you do not see it with these verses then I encourage you to take it to the Lord in prayer and search it out for yourself and if the Holy Spirit wishes for you to see then you will see.
Easy to say when you are not struggling every single day
No my friend, it’s easy to say because our strength comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth, it’s easy to say because His grace is always sufficient for each day and it’s easy to say because we hope in God’s promises “and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”(Romans 5:5)
What is it you struggle with friend?
My dear friend what troubles you?
I understand what you saying, but God is our refuge in the time of trouble and struggle. He’s faithful to keep us for eternity.
If it's with finances, we all make poor decisions in our career paths in our spending habits etc. You're not the only one, but it doesn't change what we should be rejoicing in.
Here's John Piper preaching that you're not saved by faith in Christ but by your own works powered by God's grace:
czcams.com/video/s9R_eNNPLLQ/video.html
This is in full contradiction to Romans 3:28, John 5:24, John 6:28-29, Acts 16:30-31, Ephesiasn 1:13-14, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Romans 6:23, Romans 4:1-8, and Galatians 3.
Funny that John Piper is a heretic who says you can't know you've been saved until you are judged for the fruit you bore all your life and that you better cooperate with God to bear enough fruit for "Final Salvation" which is his made up fairy doctrine that doesnt exist in the Bible. Now hes here saying it's great to be saved (past tense)...ok.
Why the fancy garb? Ishe special?
That’s what I was wondering
its a graduation
@@jacknelsonvideohe's not graduating....he's grandstanding
@@bop-ya-goodhe’s speaking at a graduation… are you blind, or just hateful?
I find Piper's son more convincing on the question of god.
Interesting statement. However, it just shows you don’t know theology.
@@RevDavidReyes if anything, engaging with theology and apologetics, especially from the so-called sophisticated spokespeople of these subjects, has nourished my skepticism. The degrees of bs and mental gymnastics these people deploy has not necessarily convinced that there is no god, but if one exists, it cannot be the one they are talking about, not an omnipotent, omniscient one, who wants to get his message across, and not one who hates lies, when the only way his representatives seem to be able to perpetuate belief in him, is through lies. What these people present as sophistication is indeed sophistry.
@@hustlehustlehustle Again, just shows you don't know theology.
Say whatever you want, just know you're without excuse (Romans 1:20).
@@RevDavidReyes no, it means I'm not buying the bs you are selling.
Indeed, there is no excuse for being this gullible.
@@hustlehustlehustle Not sure what you're on about. Seems like you might be looking for attention or something.
That's fine for you to think that. Nobody is stopping you. Nobody is 'selling' you anything, mr hustle.
Just remember, no excuse (1 Corinthians 1:18; Revelation 22:11; Romans 1:20).
How does a Christian know if his/her name is written in Heaven?
Everyone know if he/she has succeeded because tangible evidences of success are present.
Jesus sent the 72 disciples to do work, as his servants in the work field.
When they returned with success, Jesus said to them: rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.
You see
▪︎ Jesus was bringing them to the next level in their growth - to be servants or apostles.
▪︎ the 72 had already their names written in Heaven - because they were DISCIPLES!
Now, one desiring to enter the Kingdom of Heaven must necessarily go through five stages:
▪︎1. BELIEVER - believe that Jesus is Saviour, sent by the the LORD God into the world.
▪︎2. FOLLOWER - love and follow Jesus’s teachings, learning about the Kingdom of Heaven.
▪︎3. DISCIPLE - obey Jesus’s commandments, and be engaged in real life training to attain righteousness.
▪︎4. APOSTLE - be appointed servant by the Father, to serve Himself and to Lord Jesus.
▪︎5. CHILD OF GOD - the Father takes him/her as son/daughter, as a servant is taken in His Household.
One who is follower, will receive the Holy Spirit, and be born again in spirit, and his/her name written in the book of the Lamb, in Heaven.
When one has attained apostleship, the Holy Spirit takes permanent residence and one is guaranteed salvation, and a place in Heaven and in all eternity.
So now Pastor John, gauge your students, listeners, even yourself according to these stages.
I dare say, most Christians are just at "believer" stage!
Hi friend, I'm not sure what your goal is; however, I fear your teaching without scripture may turn some who are not mature in faith away. It sounds as if you are judging the work of your brother in Christ who does cite scripture without providing that same factual basis.
Evil unbiblical teaching to be ignored
I have two questions. At what point in your steps is one saved? And where do you think you are in those steps?
@@jeremybaker7344
I didn't cite Bible verses because I assumed you already knew them in the four Gospel accounts.
Everything I have written is wholly consistent with Jesus Christ's teachings.
But if you wish me to rewrite with Bible verses, let me know.
As you don't appear familiar with that I have written, perhaps you have not studied, or were not given to understand (Mt 13:11), the words of Jesus.
Now, let me tell you on what authority do I have to say all these things to you.
I list them below:
▪︎I have traversed the full stretch of Jesus's Way (Jn 14:6).
▪︎Jesus taught me Truth (abundance of knowledge, Mt 13:12), gave me Life (even never ever dying, Jn 11:26), and I have come to my Father (Jn 14:6, 23).
▪︎I have reached all five stages - believer, follower, disciple, servant, and God’s son.
▪︎The journey took 32 years through painful fires (dying to sin-nature, excruciating physical pain), frightening waters (facing dangers, persecutionm, even facing Satan) but I was also amply blessed with wonderful miracles and times of refreshing rest. I was brought into literal death, to the door of Paradise, but I returned to fulfil my covenant with the LORD.
▪︎The LORD God has now appointed me servant. As Jesus sent his disciples, so he sends me, in this day to the world. There are others like me, each in his alloted field.
▪︎And so I obey, and I write to you, and also to the others that He gives me to write.
My mission?
See Mt 28:18-20
Jesus came and told his disciples,
“I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.
And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Therefore, I am speaking on the AUTHORITY of the ONE who sends me - Jesus Christ.
The Father watches over His servants' work, until His Kingdom of God is established on earth. Mt 4:7, Jn 3:3,5, Mt 6:10
Please believe me, or challenge me on the veracity of what I have said.
@@reformed2019
¤ Your 1st question: at which point is one saved?
I answer: when one is a genuine follower, see below:
▪︎you are saved when you are born again, in spirit (Jn 3:3,5)
▪︎to be born again, the Holy Spirit must come to you [God and Jesus come as one in the Holy Spirit. Jn 14:23]
▪︎the Holy Spirit will come, only when you show yourself to have loved and obeyed Jesus Jn 14:15-17
▪︎you can only show yourself "to love and obey Jesus" when you follow him. Jesus repeatedly said "follow me" in his days, didn't he? Mt 16:24
Please note:
One is saved for eternal life (Jn 11:25) only when the Holy Spirit remains in him/her. Jn 8:21
If one stops following Jesus or disobeys him, love is no more and the Holy Spirit leaves (Jn 15:4), and one has lost salvation.
When one reaches servanthood, one is called apostle. And apostles in this end-times days, never ever die. Jn 11:26
Your 2nd question: where do you think you are in these steps.
I answer:
▪︎ step #4 - a servant (apostle) of God, given to serve my Lord Jesus.
▪︎ step #5 - a son of the Father.
Bless you for asking questions.
