It is easy to say that we believe in someone or in something. But the reality, of a true believer is in living obedience according to the truth of the one whom we believe ln Jesus is the truth everyone else who does not walk according to the truth is lieing. Amen. Love you all.
Great video Corey ❤ my mother and sister are adamant modalists and I struggle with it daily. They are UPCI. They get mean when I share bible verses with them that go against what their pastor says. They tell me that I'm too proud to submit to the Holy Spirit because if I really submitted to Him, I would have spoken in tongues. They don't accept that I'm saved without tongues. I don't know how to speak to them anymore, I've put up walls because it's like talking to a tape recorder. They say the same things over and over but don't ever hear what I'm saying to them! I love them and I will never stop sharing Truth with them however hard it may be. I pray that the Lord would fill me with love and grace when speaking to them 🙏
Humbly I tell you that they are indeed right and they may sound like a tape Recorded because they love you and want you to be saved and know truth . Trust me I was the same way. Until the Lord showed me the truth. I pray you recieve this in love ❤
@tianacrayton-lagrone8395 respectfully to you, if you believe what my mother believes, I have strong reason to question your salvation. Where in the Bible does it say you must speak in tongues to be saved? You are saying the blood of Jesus isn't enough. That I must do something to earn my salvation. Let me tell you, if we had to work for our spiritual gifts none of us would receive them! None of us are worthy! The Lord gives all spiritual gifts as He wills, and I know I have the Holy Spirit within me. God has never left my side and guides every aspect of my life. He guided me out of the false teaching of UPCI and I pray He will guide you out too.
The Bible says many shall cast out demons and heal the sick and God says I never knew you. So tongues are awesome and gifts are awesome but without a relationship with God, he never knows you. So no gifts don't mean you are saved only a personal relationship with God makes you his child. I too was persuaded to take in tongues they tried to wave my arms to make me speak but something felt wrong. It took me many years before God revealed it's not about the gifts its about the relationship.
@@muppetonmeds who said those who speak in tongues don’t have relationship? It’s not mutually exclusive. I am so very sorry that you had that experience. However this is not a statement of opinion it is Biblical salvation which I desire to share with you today in prayer that you will receive it. In Jesus Mighty name amen ❤️
@@tianacrayton-lagrone8395 I believe the point being made is that no gift guarantees that one has a saving relationship with Christ which is why demonstrating tongues cannot be a sign of salvation. It is never presented as such in scripture. By default, not speaking in tongues cannot mean that one is not saved. All saved believers do not speak in tongues nor ever did, but all must be saved by grace through faith in Christ's atonement for our sins which inspires the revelation that Jesus is Lord. Biblical salvation is found in the Gospel. It is not found in one's interpretation of what happened in Acts 2, which was descriptive not prescriptive. 1 Corinthians 12:29-31 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way. The good fruit of saving faith is not tongues (or any gift) but the inner transformation and outworking of the Holy Spirit power in one's character and life: love, joy, peace, self control, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, longsuffering patience, desire to know truth, growing in obedience, ongoing repentance, maturing in grace unto consistent righteousness and holiness. These are what we should look to and desire concerning the effects of salvation over and above evidence of a gift. ❤
Corey thank you for this amazing video with so many words of wisdom. You definitely increased my spiritual journey. Your just a great human being. Thank you for spreading your knowledge to a new Christian .
Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV) 8 For zby grace you have been saved athrough faith. And this is bnot your own doing; cit is the gift of God, 9 dnot a result of works, eso that no one may boast.
As long as you know Jesus to be God and you believe there is only one God who provided salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ you are i right standing with God. Don’t allow man made doctrines and traditions to cause you to doubt the salvation that God promised you. It’s not His will for us to be confused.
Excellent teaching brother Corey ! This really touched my conscience concerning our priority being to win souls. As you said, contending for the faith against heresy is important but should not get in the way of winning souls.
I know exactly what you mean (and agree) but its also important to remember that neither is presented as mutually exclusive in scripture. It is often through our contending against heresy that those unbelievers or false converts entrapped by heresy are drawn to a saving faith. The difference is the spirit by which we contend, not in our favoring one method of sharing truth over another. ❤
Brother Corey, Thank you for Teaching GOD'S WORD Of TRUTH! YES, Brother Corey, we are called to TEACH , Sound Doctrine of Christ JESUS! Amen, Brother Corey we are to Love others! I LOVE JESUS and I Teach the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST!
Not so much a joke, but, a mockery. I don't use the word Christian now. Most people will say they are christians. I say a believer. What does it mean, when Beyonce says it is hot? You know what she is trying to quote? Jeremiah 20:9, it's like fire shut up in my bones. To me, she is going off of something she has heard, not so much of what she has experienced. Oprah, no she is not a true believer. God tells everyone He has a son. But Oprah alone with her friends, doesn't give much thought to Jesus. God and Jesus are one in the same. Jesus said He is the only way to the Father. Oprah said there is more than one way to God. That's not true. Jesus tells us how to get to the Father. Now, unless she has turned and repented, I think they all are making a mockery of God. That goes for Tyler Perry also. As for T.D.Jakes, I believe he is a false teacher and he didn't and doesn't believe a word he was preaching to others.
@@gwendolynjackson8802 it been said that Beyonce and JZ have both sold out to Satan She is no more a Christian than my bag of laundry. Oprah is just plain lost but her mind tells her otherwise. TD Jake’s is trying to be relevant by hanging around with famous people. My mother said when you lay down with dogs you will get up with fleas. He also speaks heresy as well
@@muppetonmeds Corey admitted that Beyoncé more likely than not is not saved if we're honestly exercising any amount of discernment. Ongoing blasphemous irreverence, false worship of other spirits, and habitual practice of unrepentant sin are rotten fruit incompatible to someone who has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and received a new nature. Apostle James said its not enough to simply believe in God because even demons have that type of superficial "dead" faith (James 2:19-20). Even unbelievers have enough evidence through creation to believe that God exists. Our faith has to be enlivened by the Holy Spirit to be saving. Apostle John stated that many leave the true practice of Christian faith because they were never genuinely a part of us (1 John 2:19 ). The bible never states that the devil authentically worshipped God. It shows that God gave him every opportunity to worship by making him a throne covering archangel (the highest and closest angelic position) with beautiful instruments of worship attached to him. But those blessings only made Satan prideful to the point of wanting to receive for himself the worship only God deserves. Judas also never sincerely followed Jesus which which revealed itself in his eventual betrayal. Both Satan and Judas were in close proximity to God but their hearts were not for Him. That's why scripture says that saving belief must not solely be intellectual or expressed in words alone but must come "from the heart" (Romans 10:9 ) We might say that many celebrities who profess to be Christians fall into the same type of pride as the devil because of the worship they receive through fame. Sadly, fame and cultural popularity can make many seek to usurp the glory that only belongs to God until they also begin to treat Him as an adversary to be overruled. This even happens to "celebrity" pastors. 😥 That said, I appreciate you because I always love to witness (and learn from) someone's whose heart prefers to believe the best even about the worse offenders and who always carries hope that they may eventually turn around and experience true salvation. God can certainly save a long time false convert. I'm living proof of that. Thanks for the inspiration to pray for Beyoncé. ❤
😂😂Man you got me cracking up laughing! But I absolutely love this teaching. Because even Christian's idolize these celebrities like they god. Good teaching hopefully we all will wake up.
The truth Corey is expressing is why I rarely approach the subject of an influential but problematic teacher, pastor, or ministry leader from the argument of whether they are a genuine fellow believer but by whether they are biblically qualified for their role. That's more important to me because of the influence they have to lead others astray and cause spiritual harm--whether they are saved or not. This is especially true the more high profile and popular that leader is. We may not be able to fairly assess an unqualified leader's salvation but the scriptures clearly define who should and should not be a leader within Christ's Body and Church.
You discernment ministers sure do have it all figured out. I pray you are recognized by HIM in the end. Of truth not everyone who says LORD will make it in
We must be saved by BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST. WE'RE SAVED BY FAITH. If we're not reflective as a mirror reflective of Jesus. We must LOVE HIM with our WHOLE HEART.
Mr. Cory your statement that a person who is practicing sin is not a Christian is wrong. Really Christians can be struggling with sin or baby Christians are still growing in their knowledge of God and what is proper holy living. You have to show baby Christians grace as they are growing in sanctification.
I love this. I had some extremely flawed views of Jesus when I first came back to Him and the Holy Spirit worked it out in my heart. Loving christains who truly walk the walk are who helped lead me back. I know I was a big project for God. He saved me from witchcraft, mental illness, and a hardened heart. I will forever be grateful and never forget what He saved me from and just how much I am loved but also how unworthy I alone am of His forgiveness. Wholeheartedly living the values that Jesus set before us, loving on people, and sharing your testimonies are the best way to bring people to Christ. Our job is just to plant the seeds. The Holy Spirit will work all the kinks out.
AMEN!! Thank you God that even when we are faith-less YOU are faith-ful and that you keep the promise to NEVER 'leave nor forsake us'. Like the prodigal son we may have to eat with pigs, but those who are truly His....will return. Be blessed brother.
Hey Corey, Could you please explain "Jonah 3:10 KJV - And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not?" It seems turning away from evil is considered a work. And if turning from evil is a work then that work wont save us. It would have to be only faith that saves us. Pastors teach you also need to repent to be saved, but it seems repenting is a work according to this passage.
No, denying Trinune nature of the Godhead is truly God Himself. Denying the distinction of the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit will send them to hell.
I'm a Trinitarian married to a Oneness Pentecostalist. Is my wife a born again Believer.... yes. Do we disagree on this issue... most certainly. Does her believing on Jesus in a certain way preclude from the Kingdom...nope, don't think so. Does it limit her perception of God.... certainly. I've jokingly said that one day when we're up there I'll take her over and count, "uno, dos, tres, see I told you so.." In fact my inlaws are the pastors of a Pentecostal church, (that I don't attend). While we have this and a few other theological differences, (tongues, the gifts, etc) we respectfully agree to disagree. Strangely they acknowledge there is the Father, the Son and the Spirit (in so doing acknowledging distinctions) but will stop short of saying there are three persons. They can't understand why I comfortable saying God is three Persons (and I think have to stop themselves from calling me a blashphemer). Despite these differences we are still one in Christ, I have no doubts about that. They are some of the most godly people I know. That said, I strongly maintain that the Bible gives overwhelming evidence for what we call the Trinity and I cannot deny the that. There are perhaps aspects of our faith that I misunderstand and that could be seen as a deal-breaker by someone else as regards my salvation. However the basis of our faith is... God created everything perfectly Man sinned and so all creation was cursed God provided an Atonement (Jesus) for that sin His life, death, resurrection and ascension testify to Him being the Son of God and the Saviour of mankind Jesus will return (very, very soon I hope) and redeem this world to himself And ultimately He WILL reign, not only for a 1000 years, (I'm a pre-mill) but forever after that. Is there any thing more that needs to be said? Just as an afterthought , I've heard it said that Pre-milleniasism is a deception from the enemy. So if I believe it does it mean that I'm not saved? On the flipside I've heard pre-mills say that A- or post-milleniasts are deceived, basically calling them unsaved.
I don't want to go to hell pretending to be saved. I rather just go being a open sinner. Not saying I desire to go but I rather go being honest with myself about why I was there.
Love its not giving a platform to a false teacher to prove a point . You should LOVE, reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching, but in this case in private is a better way to do so.
53:00 I think there's a critical difference you're glossing over, that of not fully understanding the doctrine of the Trinity (of which I believe most American Christians are guilty, and which I do not believe is a salvation issue); vs. fully understanding and rejecting that doctrine (which is very much a salvation issue).
I believe we were born into sin at the same time I believe we were taking out of sin, and at some point in time we begin working on way back into sin for today my main focus on Jesus Christ oh Lord God and father, in heaven, more aware of the flush and the world and the devil that lurks
Matthew 7:13-20 The way is narrow, not many find it, false prophet among us, you know them by their fruit, if they dont bear good fruit theyll be thrown in the fire.
If you are in church and you're watching the smart Christian channel, that's ok... That's not ok. That's doing a good thing at the wrong time. You're in church to worship God and to fellowship with other Christians. You can watch your CZcams channels when you have your own free time. Just my humble opinion Corey.
And again salvation has nothing to do with the person's lifestyle. That would be faith plus works. 👉🏾🚩 It seems like you don't believe Christ died for all your sins. If our stoping sins or Not "practicing sin" as you would say had any part of our salvation. Christ wouldn't had to die. The gospel would have been he who does not practice sin and try to obey and love other or love God should have eternal life. The Bible doesn't say that for going to heaven. You wrong Corey!
No one is advocating to live like the world. We want to obey God because we love Him. But, we don’t obey perfectly. We can look good on the outside but have anger, or resentment or pride, or self righteous, or envy, etc…for years. Additionally we sin when we don’t do what God wants us to do. We have sin/blind spots that we are not aware of. We struggle with our fleshly nature. We are sinners saved by grace. But how we live doesn’t save us. God wants us to obey, but if we don’t we are not in danger of losing our salvation. There will be consequences and possibly loss of heavenly rewards. We can be rebellious children, but children nonetheless. I think we creatures want to judge others by their works to see if they are indeed saved. But if we are not saved by our works to begin with, then we can’t add works or perseverance to the back end for salvation. God knows who are His. He wants us to grow and change for the better, but not to stay saved.
I do not believe what that pastor Todd said is totally wrong. But, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is more than an expression of God, all three are One in the same.
You really shouldn't be watching The Smart Christians video in church either, because you should be paying attention to what's going on in the service that you are in. You can watch the Smart Christians video later........otherwise why be there!
Were they slave holders really? I was always taught they had indentured servants . Those are different. An indentured servant agrees to work and be taken care of for a certain amount of time . Maybe they were in a pickle and needed help. A slave is when the person has no choice . They are treated as property. There is a difference.
Little beside the point, but dry ice is H2O? No, it is not. You would think if he were going to put this entire presentation together, he would at least do it in a manner that proves the point he's attempting to make.🤦♀ Maybe he's trying to drive home the 'you can be saved and stupid' point at the same time?
The Bible says that “Ye must be Born again” Christian’s still sin, once your born your always born, when your born again there’s a date and time for that, where you repented by confession and faith. Your sin is then covered by the Blood of the Lamb, becoming “Christian” does not save you…. Belief with confession at one time saves you. The thief that hung on the cross had no opportunity to clear his name but his spirit was cleansed through belief, he still died for his physical sin, but his soul was with Yeshua. 37:16 A baby when they’re born has to grow in understanding to know exactly what all sins are, a newly born again soul has to be taught and even seasoned Christians still learn, it’s a process of growth, that’s why God chastises those who are who are his children, why would He need to do so if they aren’t His children because they still sin? That person will cut their life short but their soul will still be saved as yet by fire as the Bible says….
I am a Trinitarian, however there is no verse that say’s believing in modalism means you cannot be saved. You MUST believe Jesus is God, but if you are confused about the Trinity, you are not unsaved because of it.
@831blk21 I think you misunderstand his point. Understanding how God exists is not the same as denying His existence. Modalist do not deny Jesus is God. They explain it differently. Certainly, we are not prideful enough to claim absolute certainty about the nature of God.
@@tyronedawson8553 alright brother well let’s go to the scripture and let’s if we can walk away with some type of understanding so John 10:30 I and the father are one.. Modalist believe that got has 3 different modes not distinct and coexisting persons
@831blk21 I understand what you're saying. The problem is that the interpretation of Jesus statement of oneness doesn't speak to trinitarianism. 'One' could very well mean absolutely one. Which is what early jews most likely understood it to mean (thus their desire to stone Jesus for claiming divinity). My point is that modalist are not heretics simply because they disagree with trinitarians.
I caint believe he's trying to minimize what Beyonce said that's blasphemous that's of the devil and a real chrstian though we are not perfect would not say this about the Lords Holy word.
Oprah is DAMN liar. A woman said on Oprah's show that "Jesus is the way, truth, the life, and no man comes to the Father but through Him" Oprah said "but there's gotta be another way" Look for video and SEE.
I thought you are a big proponent of Once Saved Always Saved? That all their sins past present and future are forgiven? Who are we to know what is in someone’s heart? Only God knows. This is why I believe Once a saved Always Saved is not true. These people, amongst many others, walked away from their salvation.
The true crucifixion is not with nails on a tree. It is that of the Spirit of God upon the flesh, it lasts 9 years, and the true resurrection is a sudden transfiguration towards the state of Spirit while one is alive, not after death. Greetings from Prophet Moses Judhements will begin july 21. Raising the hands to heaven again and the sun will go out, 3 days of darkness, like in Egypt.😵💫😮
If anyone can find in the Bible where God required someone to be a Christian or even the apostles said to be a Christian then I will become one. I am a believer in Jesus Christ who died for my sins. I now have salvation because Christ died for me and I repeated for my sins but I did not become a Christian add I became a believer in Christ Jesus and have salvation.
Christian is a title given to followers of Christ. You don’t have to claim the title but don’t have to get caught up on it either. Much love and blessings to you sister.
If you love, Jesus, you wouldn’t be ashamed of his name or anything associated with him. In the scripture The believers were called Christian’s at Antioch. It is Acts.
Christian means Christ-like so if you are a follower and striving to be like Christ then you are one. The Disiples called themselves Christians with pride because they loved Jesus. ACTS 11:26
If you truly have Jesus Christ ruling on the throne of your heart as Lord, Savior and King then even if you don't know it, you are a Christian. 1 Peter 4:15-16 KJV But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. [16] Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. God Bless
Being a Christian is not separate from believing and accepting the Gospel. If you believe Jesus of Nazareth died, resurrected from the dead, and ascended to glory; you are in fact a Christian. It’s not a simple title given to someone who acts in a certain way. It’s indeed a category of belief; given to the followers (believers) in Jesus Christ as God.
Another red flag @Corey There's no such thing as PRACTICING SIN we all SIN perfectly EVERYDAY. Stick with the King James version other versions of CORRUPT. That's why you believe like you do. And also teaching others falsely.
I think we'll keep listening to the actual biblical historians rather than KJV onlyists. The fact that people still believe all other translations are corrupt in 2024 is astonishing.
I think you're gatekeeping a bit too much here. Literally none of this is up to you. The trinity is a post biblical concept found nowhere within. It never occurs to you that the father, son, and holy spirit could be a hierarchy instead. We don't have to believe Jesus is God, because he wasn't.
The Jews wanted to stone Jesus (John 10:33) for the exact reason that he claims to be God. John 10:30 “I and the Father are one.” He literally calls himself God. The Jews understood what he meant, why don’t you?
I'm sorry what? Jesus wasn't God? Then why did they want him dead? They wanted him dead because not only did he say he was the son if God he also claimed to be the I AM in the flesh.
@@seliteguitarist3664 That's not what that "literally" means. It means he and the father are in agreement--of one mind. Otherwise, when Jesus says that he prays he and his followers are one, like he and the father are one in John 17:20-21, that would necessarily "literally" mean that you and I are God. Do you believe that you're god? As for John 10, you skipped the part where he calls himself God's son rather than God (John 10:36-37).
Off course I see the good we are to test the spirits of a man or woman for the evil that’s in us all. Good spirits can do no harm it’s the devil spirits we have to discern
What’s the difference? 2 Corinthians 13:5 King James Version 5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2 Corinthians 12:19-21 King James Version 19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. 20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: 21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
You must believe in the Trinity because Jesus Christ is the Word of God you just can’t believe in your own understanding or feelings. The Bible does mention the Trinity. If you can’t understand it something is wrong with you. Trinity is three think of it as Three Divinity equals Trinity. King James Version 1 John 5:7 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
You can believe Jesus Christ is God without believing in the Trinity. The Trinity is just another doctrine like oneness or modalism to try and explain how God exists, it isn't mandatory to your salvation. What must you do to be saved? 👉 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, that's it. Yes, salvation is that simple, stop trying to complicate it.
No you cannot you must know who God is first. That’s why in the Bible when one gets saved one must check their Salvation. Do you really believe in Christ or did you place your Faith in a false christ? 2 Corinthians 13:5 King James Version 5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? And here is a verse that also supports that it simple as well. Galatians 2:21 - I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
@@azz2203 Yes you can. We must believe Jesus Christ is God and that He died for our sins and that He was resurrected. The Trinity is just a doctrine to try and explain how God exists. It isn't required to be saved. And anyone preaching that if you don't believe in the Trinity you aren't saved doesn't know their bible.
They why does it say check your salvation? Now you’re starting to sound like David Lynn. You have to know what you believe in. You have to understand that their is Father The Spirt and of Word of God. You can’t go up to God the authorative figure you have to be Saved by the Word and in order to do that you have to believe in the Trinity.
@@azz2203 Just show the verse where it says belief in the Trinity is mandatory to your salvation. Because I can show you where the bible says to be saved you must believe in the lord jesus Christ. The Trinitarian doctrine was developed by councils, again, it's just a way the church came up with to try and explain how God exists. Stop being so dogmatic about this doctrine, stop turning ppl away from God because of something that isn't mandatory to their salvation. It's ridiculous
MOST PEOPLE IN CHURCH BUILDING ARE NOT SAVED
Sadly, most are cultural Christians. Not truly saved.
It is easy to say that we believe in someone or in something. But the reality, of a true believer is in living obedience according to the truth of the one whom we believe ln Jesus is the truth everyone else who does not walk according to the truth is lieing. Amen. Love you all.
This video is FIIIIRRRREE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. You inspire me soooo much to be BOLD 4 JESUS on my channel. Thank you, Sir. 🙏🏾🎉❤️
Sitting in a church doesn’t make you anymore a Christian than sitting in a garage makes you a car.
Great video Corey ❤ my mother and sister are adamant modalists and I struggle with it daily. They are UPCI. They get mean when I share bible verses with them that go against what their pastor says.

Corey wants the beehive smoke i see… he’s chosen violence 😂😂😂😂😂
Corey thank you for this amazing video with so many words of wisdom. You definitely increased my spiritual journey. Your just a great human being. Thank you for spreading your knowledge to a new Christian .
Love your intro! New subscriber here. Also diggin the Colts tumbler in the background! Blessings to you, brother!
Sir , thank you very much, I really needed that! GOD bless you!
Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV)
8 For zby grace you have been saved athrough faith. And this is bnot your own doing; cit is the gift of God, 9 dnot a result of works, eso that no one may boast.
As long as you know Jesus to be God and you believe there is only one God who provided salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ you are i right standing with God. Don’t allow man made doctrines and traditions to cause you to doubt the salvation that God promised you. It’s not His will for us to be confused.
Excellent teaching brother Corey ! This really touched my conscience concerning our priority being to win souls. As you said, contending for the faith against heresy is important but should not get in the way of winning souls.
I know exactly what you mean (and agree) but its also important to remember that neither is presented as mutually exclusive in scripture. It is often through our contending against heresy that those unbelievers or false converts entrapped by heresy are drawn to a saving faith. The difference is the spirit by which we contend, not in our favoring one method of sharing truth over another. ❤
Thank you Corey, God bless 🙏
Thank you for addressing my concerns❤
Brother Corey, Thank you for Teaching GOD'S WORD Of TRUTH! YES, Brother Corey, we are called to TEACH , Sound Doctrine of Christ JESUS! Amen, Brother Corey we are to Love others! I LOVE JESUS and I Teach the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST!
Is that a joke Beyoncé has never been Christian Is that a joke 😂😂😂😂😂
The devil worshiped God and then became a demon so who knows? She could have believed in God and then fell away.
Not so much a joke, but, a mockery. I don't use the word Christian now. Most people will say they are christians. I say a believer. What does it mean, when Beyonce says it is hot? You know what she is trying to quote? Jeremiah 20:9, it's like fire shut up in my bones. To me, she is going off of something she has heard, not so much of what she has experienced. Oprah, no she is not a true believer. God tells everyone He has a son. But Oprah alone with her friends, doesn't give much thought to Jesus. God and Jesus are one in the same. Jesus said He is the only way to the Father. Oprah said there is more than one way to God. That's not true. Jesus tells us how to get to the Father. Now, unless she has turned and repented, I think they all are making a mockery of God. That goes for Tyler Perry also. As for T.D.Jakes, I believe he is a false teacher and he didn't and doesn't believe a word he was preaching to others.
@@gwendolynjackson8802 it been said that Beyonce and JZ have both sold out to Satan
She is no more a Christian than my bag of laundry. Oprah is just plain lost but her mind tells her otherwise. TD Jake’s is trying to be relevant by hanging around with famous people. My mother said when you lay down with dogs you will get up with fleas. He also speaks heresy as well
@@gwendolynjackson8802 awesome. I never felt T.D. Jakes
@@muppetonmeds Corey admitted that Beyoncé more likely than not is not saved if we're honestly exercising any amount of discernment. Ongoing blasphemous irreverence, false worship of other spirits, and habitual practice of unrepentant sin are rotten fruit incompatible to someone who has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and received a new nature. Apostle James said its not enough to simply believe in God because even demons have that type of superficial "dead" faith (James 2:19-20). Even unbelievers have enough evidence through creation to believe that God exists. Our faith has to be enlivened by the Holy Spirit to be saving.
Apostle John stated that many leave the true practice of Christian faith because they were never genuinely a part of us (1 John 2:19 ). The bible never states that the devil authentically worshipped God. It shows that God gave him every opportunity to worship by making him a throne covering archangel (the highest and closest angelic position) with beautiful instruments of worship attached to him. But those blessings only made Satan prideful to the point of wanting to receive for himself the worship only God deserves. Judas also never sincerely followed Jesus which which revealed itself in his eventual betrayal. Both Satan and Judas were in close proximity to God but their hearts were not for Him. That's why scripture says that saving belief must not solely be intellectual or expressed in words alone but must come "from the heart" (Romans 10:9 )
We might say that many celebrities who profess to be Christians fall into the same type of pride as the devil because of the worship they receive through fame. Sadly, fame and cultural popularity can make many seek to usurp the glory that only belongs to God until they also begin to treat Him as an adversary to be overruled. This even happens to "celebrity" pastors. 😥
That said, I appreciate you because I always love to witness (and learn from) someone's whose heart prefers to believe the best even about the worse offenders and who always carries hope that they may eventually turn around and experience true salvation. God can certainly save a long time false convert. I'm living proof of that. Thanks for the inspiration to pray for Beyoncé. ❤
Good Bible study thank you
This is soooo good my brother you are my street
"I don't know why You tolerate me". That right there!
Sometimes it's better to keep our mouth shut than say the wrong thing to someone who is hurting 😢
😂😂Man you got me cracking up laughing! But I absolutely love this teaching. Because even Christian's idolize these celebrities like they god. Good teaching hopefully we all will wake up.
Amen Corey, Amen!
Best vid i’ve seen in awhile man
The truth Corey is expressing is why I rarely approach the subject of an influential but problematic teacher, pastor, or ministry leader from the argument of whether they are a genuine fellow believer but by whether they are biblically qualified for their role. That's more important to me because of the influence they have to lead others astray and cause spiritual harm--whether they are saved or not. This is especially true the more high profile and popular that leader is. We may not be able to fairly assess an unqualified leader's salvation but the scriptures clearly define who should and should not be a leader within Christ's Body and Church.
Wow. The ending got a little poetic for a minute 😊🎉❤
This was good!
How many sins did it take for Adam and Eve to get kicked out of the garden? 1 right.
You discernment ministers sure do have it all figured out. I pray you are recognized by HIM in the end. Of truth not everyone who says LORD will make it in
We must be saved by BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST. WE'RE SAVED BY FAITH. If we're not reflective as a mirror reflective of Jesus. We must LOVE HIM with our WHOLE HEART.
Mr. Cory your statement that a person who is practicing sin is not a Christian is wrong. Really Christians can be struggling with sin or baby Christians are still growing in their knowledge of God and what is proper holy living. You have to show baby Christians grace as they are growing in sanctification.
I love this. I had some extremely flawed views of Jesus when I first came back to Him and the Holy Spirit worked it out in my heart. Loving christains who truly walk the walk are who helped lead me back. I know I was a big project for God. He saved me from witchcraft, mental illness, and a hardened heart. I will forever be grateful and never forget what He saved me from and just how much I am loved but also how unworthy I alone am of His forgiveness. Wholeheartedly living the values that Jesus set before us, loving on people, and sharing your testimonies are the best way to bring people to Christ. Our job is just to plant the seeds. The Holy Spirit will work all the kinks out.
AMEN!! Thank you God that even when we are faith-less YOU are faith-ful and that you keep the promise to NEVER 'leave nor forsake us'. Like the prodigal son we may have to eat with pigs, but those who are truly His....will return. Be blessed brother.
Hey Corey, Could you please explain
"Jonah 3:10 KJV - And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not?"
It seems turning away from evil is considered a work. And if turning from evil is a work then that work wont save us. It would have to be only faith that saves us. Pastors teach you also need to repent to be saved, but it seems repenting is a work according to this passage.
@ecardy23 I told a pastor this very same thing and he eventually said I had a spirit of err😳
Brotherly ❤️ Love.
No, denying Trinune nature of the Godhead is truly God Himself. Denying the distinction of the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit will send them to hell.
Yes, a Christian can be prejudice and racist. Peter was prejudice against the Gentiles which was why he tried to make them go back to circumcision.
I'm a Trinitarian married to a Oneness Pentecostalist.
Is my wife a born again Believer.... yes. Do we disagree on this issue... most certainly. Does her believing on Jesus in a certain way preclude from the Kingdom...nope, don't think so. Does it limit her perception of God.... certainly. I've jokingly said that one day when we're up there I'll take her over and count, "uno, dos, tres, see I told you so.."
In fact my inlaws are the pastors of a Pentecostal church, (that I don't attend). While we have this and a few other theological differences, (tongues, the gifts, etc) we respectfully agree to disagree. Strangely they acknowledge there is the Father, the Son and the Spirit (in so doing acknowledging distinctions) but will stop short of saying there are three persons. They can't understand why I comfortable saying God is three Persons (and I think have to stop themselves from calling me a blashphemer). Despite these differences we are still one in Christ, I have no doubts about that. They are some of the most godly people I know.
That said, I strongly maintain that the Bible gives overwhelming evidence for what we call the Trinity and I cannot deny the that.
There are perhaps aspects of our faith that I misunderstand and that could be seen as a deal-breaker by someone else as regards my salvation. However the basis of our faith is...
God created everything perfectly
Man sinned and so all creation was cursed
God provided an Atonement (Jesus) for that sin
His life, death, resurrection and ascension testify to Him being the Son of God and the Saviour of mankind
Jesus will return (very, very soon I hope) and redeem this world to himself
And ultimately He WILL reign, not only for a 1000 years, (I'm a pre-mill) but forever after that.
Is there any thing more that needs to be said?
Just as an afterthought , I've heard it said that Pre-milleniasism is a deception from the enemy. So if I believe it does it mean that I'm not saved? On the flipside I've heard pre-mills say that A- or post-milleniasts are deceived, basically calling them unsaved.
I don't want to go to hell pretending to be saved. I rather just go being a open sinner. Not saying I desire to go but I rather go being honest with myself about why I was there.
Love its not giving a platform to a false teacher to prove a point . You should LOVE, reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching, but in this case in private is a better way to do so.
Have a seat…. he’s telling the truth!
53:00 I think there's a critical difference you're glossing over, that of not fully understanding the doctrine of the Trinity (of which I believe most American Christians are guilty, and which I do not believe is a salvation issue); vs. fully understanding and rejecting that doctrine (which is very much a salvation issue).
thiss
Singin istead sining😅😅😅😂❤.
Corey, what does it mean to love one another, or to love the brethren? How does one know that they have that love?
I believe we were born into sin at the same time I believe we were taking out of sin, and at some point in time we begin working on way back into sin for today my main focus on Jesus Christ oh Lord God and father, in heaven, more aware of the flush and the world and the devil that lurks
This is one of the negatives of religion- IT DIVIDES- the "they are not one of us" mentality sets back humanity.

Got delt with.
If you are in church and you're watching the smart Christian channel, that's ok... That's not ok. That's doing a good thing at the wrong time. You're in church to worship God and to fellowship with other Christians. You can watch your CZcams channels when you have your own free time. Just my humble opinion Corey.
@ArchDRDT He was clearly joking.

And again salvation has nothing to do with the person's lifestyle. That would be faith plus works.
👉🏾🚩 It seems like you don't believe Christ died for all your sins. If our stoping sins or Not "practicing sin" as you would say had any part of our salvation. Christ wouldn't had to die. The gospel would have been he who does not practice sin and try to obey and love other or love God should have eternal life. The Bible doesn't say that for going to heaven. You wrong Corey!
So do you believe that you can live like the world and still be saved?
No one is advocating to live like the world. We want to obey God because we love Him. But, we don’t obey perfectly. We can look good on the outside but have anger, or resentment or pride, or self righteous, or envy, etc…for years. Additionally we sin when we don’t do what God wants us to do. We have sin/blind spots that we are not aware of. We struggle with our fleshly nature. We are sinners saved by grace. But how we live doesn’t save us. God wants us to obey, but if we don’t we are not in danger of losing our salvation. There will be consequences and possibly loss of heavenly rewards. We can be rebellious children, but children nonetheless. I think we creatures want to judge others by their works to see if they are indeed saved. But if we are not saved by our works to begin with, then we can’t add works or perseverance to the back end for salvation. God knows who are His. He wants us to grow and change for the better, but not to stay saved.

Why is Beyonce in this
I don’t believe in the trinity because it’s not in the bible although I do believe in God the father, Jesus his son and the Holy Spirit.
You really shouldn't be watching The Smart Christians video in church either, because you should be paying attention to what's going on in the service that you are in. You can watch the Smart Christians video later........otherwise why be there!
If your the fruit of her grandmas prayers, then she must have been praying to the prince of demons.
Were they slave holders really? I was always taught they had indentured servants . Those are different. An indentured servant agrees to work and be taken care of for a certain amount of time . Maybe they were in a pickle and needed help.
A slave is when the person has no choice . They are treated as property. There is a difference.
Little beside the point, but dry ice is H2O? No, it is not. You would think if he were going to put this entire presentation together, he would at least do it in a manner that proves the point he's attempting to make.🤦♀ Maybe he's trying to drive home the 'you can be saved and stupid' point at the same time?
The Bible says that “Ye must be Born again” Christian’s still sin, once your born your always born, when your born again there’s a date and time for that, where you repented by confession and faith. Your sin is then covered by the Blood of the Lamb, becoming “Christian” does not save you…. Belief with confession at one time saves you. The thief that hung on the cross had no opportunity to clear his name but his spirit was cleansed through belief, he still died for his physical sin, but his soul was with Yeshua. 37:16
A baby when they’re born has to grow in understanding to know exactly what all sins are, a newly born again soul has to be taught and even seasoned Christians still learn, it’s a process of growth, that’s why God chastises those who are who are his children, why would He need to do so if they aren’t His children because they still sin? That person will cut their life short but their soul will still be saved as yet by fire as the Bible says….
by the way, Polycarp believed in ther Trinity!
I am a Trinitarian, however there is no verse that say’s believing in modalism means you cannot be saved. You MUST believe Jesus is God, but if you are confused about the Trinity, you are not unsaved because of it.
Well brother how can you be saved if deny the trinity.. Modalism rejects the divine nature of the trinity
@831blk21 I think you misunderstand his point. Understanding how God exists is not the same as denying His existence. Modalist do not deny Jesus is God. They explain it differently. Certainly, we are not prideful enough to claim absolute certainty about the nature of God.
@@tyronedawson8553 alright brother well let’s go to the scripture and let’s if we can walk away with some type of understanding so John 10:30 I and the father are one.. Modalist believe that got has 3 different modes not distinct and coexisting persons
@831blk21 I understand what you're saying. The problem is that the interpretation of Jesus statement of oneness doesn't speak to trinitarianism. 'One' could very well mean absolutely one. Which is what early jews most likely understood it to mean (thus their desire to stone Jesus for claiming divinity).
My point is that modalist are not heretics simply because they disagree with trinitarians.
@@tyronedawson8553if modalist don’t believe Jesus is a person then they can’t believe he died so how can they believe he resurrected?
I caint believe he's trying to minimize what Beyonce said that's blasphemous that's of the devil and a real chrstian though we are not perfect would not say this about the Lords Holy word.
This is what your former president does, more than anyone.

Hank Hanegraaff is problematic.

Oprah is DAMN liar. A woman said on Oprah's show that "Jesus is the way, truth, the life, and no man comes to the Father but through Him" Oprah said "but there's gotta be another way" Look for video and SEE.
I thought you are a big proponent of Once Saved Always Saved? That all their sins past present and future are forgiven? Who are we to know what is in someone’s heart? Only God knows. This is why I believe Once a saved Always Saved is not true. These people, amongst many others, walked away from their salvation.
The true crucifixion is not with nails on a tree. It is that of the Spirit of God upon the flesh, it lasts 9 years, and the true resurrection is a sudden transfiguration towards the state of Spirit while one is alive, not after death. Greetings from Prophet Moses Judhements will begin july 21. Raising the hands to heaven again and the sun will go out, 3 days of darkness, like in Egypt.😵💫😮
Christ told Nicodemas you must be born again not a Christian. There’s a huge difference between.
If anyone can find in the Bible where God required someone to be a Christian or even the apostles said to be a Christian then I will become one. I am a believer in Jesus Christ who died for my sins. I now have salvation because Christ died for me and I repeated for my sins but I did not become a Christian add I became a believer in Christ Jesus and have salvation.
Christian is a title given to followers of Christ. You don’t have to claim the title but don’t have to get caught up on it either. Much love and blessings to you sister.
If you love, Jesus, you wouldn’t be ashamed of his name or anything associated with him. In the scripture The believers were called Christian’s at Antioch. It is Acts.
Christian means Christ-like so if you are a follower and striving to be like Christ then you are one. The Disiples called themselves Christians with pride because they loved Jesus. ACTS 11:26
If you truly have Jesus Christ ruling on the throne of your heart as Lord, Savior and King then even if you don't know it, you are a Christian.
1 Peter 4:15-16 KJV
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. [16] Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
God Bless
Being a Christian is not separate from believing and accepting the Gospel.
If you believe Jesus of Nazareth died, resurrected from the dead, and ascended to glory; you are in fact a Christian.
It’s not a simple title given to someone who acts in a certain way.
It’s indeed a category of belief; given to the followers (believers) in Jesus Christ as God.
Another red flag @Corey There's no such thing as PRACTICING SIN we all SIN perfectly EVERYDAY. Stick with the King James version other versions of CORRUPT. That's why you believe like you do. And also teaching others falsely.
Perhaps a channel where they don’t use the scriptures and cover the Hebrew and Greek would be more to your liking than this one
I think we'll keep listening to the actual biblical historians rather than KJV onlyists. The fact that people still believe all other translations are corrupt in 2024 is astonishing.
I think you're gatekeeping a bit too much here. Literally none of this is up to you. The trinity is a post biblical concept found nowhere within. It never occurs to you that the father, son, and holy spirit could be a hierarchy instead. We don't have to believe Jesus is God, because he wasn't.
The Jews wanted to stone Jesus (John 10:33) for the exact reason that he claims to be God. John 10:30 “I and the Father are one.”
He literally calls himself God. The Jews understood what he meant, why don’t you?
@@seliteguitarist3664THIS
I'm sorry what? Jesus wasn't God? Then why did they want him dead? They wanted him dead because not only did he say he was the son if God he also claimed to be the I AM in the flesh.
@@seliteguitarist3664 That's not what that "literally" means. It means he and the father are in agreement--of one mind. Otherwise, when Jesus says that he prays he and his followers are one, like he and the father are one in John 17:20-21, that would necessarily "literally" mean that you and I are God. Do you believe that you're god?
As for John 10, you skipped the part where he calls himself God's son rather than God (John 10:36-37).
I grew up in the church proud of it and why I can see the devil in people
But do you see the good?
Off course I see the good we are to test the spirits of a man or woman for the evil that’s in us all. Good spirits can do no harm it’s the devil spirits we have to discern
To those that don’t believe in the Trinity do you believe works have to show?
What’s the difference?
2 Corinthians 13:5
King James Version
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2 Corinthians 12:19-21
King James Version
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
You must believe in the Trinity because Jesus Christ is the Word of God you just can’t believe in your own understanding or feelings. The Bible does mention the Trinity. If you can’t understand it something is wrong with you. Trinity is three think of it as
Three Divinity equals Trinity.
King James Version
1 John 5:7
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
You can believe Jesus Christ is God without believing in the Trinity. The Trinity is just another doctrine like oneness or modalism to try and explain how God exists, it isn't mandatory to your salvation. What must you do to be saved? 👉 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, that's it. Yes, salvation is that simple, stop trying to complicate it.
No you cannot you must know who God is first. That’s why in the Bible when one gets saved one must check their Salvation. Do you really believe in Christ or did you place your Faith in a false christ?
2 Corinthians 13:5
King James Version
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
And here is a verse that also supports that it simple as well.
Galatians 2:21 - I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
@@azz2203 Yes you can. We must believe Jesus Christ is God and that He died for our sins and that He was resurrected. The Trinity is just a doctrine to try and explain how God exists. It isn't required to be saved. And anyone preaching that if you don't believe in the Trinity you aren't saved doesn't know their bible.
They why does it say check your salvation? Now you’re starting to sound like David Lynn. You have to know what you believe in. You have to understand that their is Father The Spirt and of Word of God. You can’t go up to God the authorative figure you have to be Saved by the Word and in order to do that you have to believe in the Trinity.
@@azz2203 Just show the verse where it says belief in the Trinity is mandatory to your salvation. Because I can show you where the bible says to be saved you must believe in the lord jesus Christ. The Trinitarian doctrine was developed by councils, again, it's just a way the church came up with to try and explain how God exists. Stop being so dogmatic about this doctrine, stop turning ppl away from God because of something that isn't mandatory to their salvation. It's ridiculous
