I was born into the Mormon church and after 26 years I left. I have found Christ and while I may not understand everything, I am thankful that God saved me!
You should check out dr walter martins lessons on mormonism. Hes a Christian apologist and cult expert, incredible resource for believers in Christ to defend against false doctrines. Glad you found the true Messiah! 😊
There are plenty bible study courses out there. Oh...also order one of Ray's books called The Evidence Study Bible. It will really break quite a bit down for you. May the lord bless you and make his face to shine upon you and give you peace.
Congratulations....now your riding higher. If you want to climb even higher. Read Jeremiah 33.3 , pray daily about it and ask the Lord to reveal truth to you concerning The Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast. Wait up on him and he will surely answer in some way. In the closing hours of this Earth great spiritual knowledge is out there . Trust no man but Trust God to reveal it.
Praise the Lord! Welcome home sister. Here's an amazing video of an ex Mormon giving his testimony. I hope it encourages you! czcams.com/video/r0mckI8Xfl8/video.html
Awesome! Praying that you continue in your walk with Christ. Immerse yourself in the bible and find a good bible teaching church. In Christianity, it's not about what church you attend. It's about who you follow and that is JESUS!
I just left this church after 37 years and I became born again! Amazing change in my life and relationship. I was brainwashed too but God freed me! Hallelujah!
I use to call myself a catholic just because I occasionally went to a Catholic Church ever since I’ve discovered this channel i have been able to change and be truly born again, I thank you guys a lot may god bless you 🙏🏼❤️
Such a mannerable young man. This is a great video and I'm learning so much about evangelism, from Pastor Comforts teaching. God bless you, Sir and thank you for your obedience.
I use to be a mormon but when I was 9 years old God tore me away from my father that walked out on me (and my brother and sister) and placed all of us in christian homes. I may not see my brother often buy I know that he is in as good a home as I am and God has blessed us.
I’m ashamed to say but I had it all wrong. I know Jesus died for our sins but TRUST is the key for salvation. I’m a sinner and I TRUST JESUS . Thank you brother!!!! ❤️
Peter said to them "Repent and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. After confession of sins , repentance and baptism. Start living a life of obedience to the Lord . Feed yourself with word everyday. More and more you will understand and have trust , conviction and love for God.
Love what you two do-- in gentleness & love. Our mens group participated in ," The Way of The Master", and personally- what a great teaching. What I learned - for me- when you step out For Jesus with the right heart He'll supply the rest
CHRISTians, Grace, Peace, n LOVE In The HOLY KING. Beware when you hear a member of a cult use your terminology. They do not mean the same things; they have a completely different worldview. Stay sharp and Sanctify CHRIST as YHWH/LORD in your heart, always being ready to give a defense - Holy Gospel.
MrRamyon74 Well, it is “in, through, because and in” CHRIST we are saved, forgiven, washed, cleansed and accepted by GOD. All other ground is SINKING SAND. JESUS alone is our sure, stedfast anchor. And is because/by of ALL that HE DID will GOD ever accept me into HIS heaven. Our hope and eyes should be on JESUS CHRIST a l o n e. HE is the AUTHOR & FINISHER of our faith. Maranatha from Hawaii.
It was revealed later to their leaders that it's "Before, During, AND after all we can do" The Atonement is obviously in effect before we turn in our report cards, Mormons would agree too 2 Nephi 25:23 is a truism, not a half truth or a falsehood
It was confusing for me (and I assume it's confusing for them too) when I first heard one of the participants answer "Repent." and they were then told "Nope, won't help you." Repenting IS part of it, so I feel after they say repent, we could then say, "Yes! Repent and ALSO trust in Jesus." I know Ray always gets to that part eventually, but wondering why he does it this way.
Bc it's a script he sticks to and his message can't bc fulfilled without saying it in this order. I'm not saying a script in a bad way but a way to keep them thinking and understand what Jesus actually did for us. Sometimes people just skip that part and don't know the seriousness of sin. Some people don't understand what repentance is. Some think it means just saying sorry and trying to not do it again. However it's having a change of heart and mind and putting your faith and trust in him that he's our Savior and we'll be saved. There's a method to his madness. some people also think that Christians are hypocrites because they believe they can repent(and that's it) and continue to sin and they'll still go to heaven... But this is lukewarm Christianity and this isnt pleasing to God. It's quite the opposite like the pagans.
Ohhhhhhh those books at the end are what I’m looking for. Cool! Thanks for everything on this channel, I love seeing my CZcams feed flooded with the Lord now 💕💕💕💕
Before I came to Christ couple days ago I tried dif religions no joke I was a lost atheist and very confused and low self steam but God open my eyes watching this beautiful videos well reading my Bible I got a free gift right to my door same day KJV hard to understand but I’m trying pls pray for me as I have many friends from many dif religions that I can be a light and salt to them that’s what God calls ous to do
81/2 years ago I joined the LDS church after I had a dream about the church .(the dream was not to good it's a thing that freaked me out) .. And still joined its anyway ... I tried to tell myself that the church was true because I liked the teaching of how the readied the bible and how loving and kind they was to me and helped when my family and needed them in hard times ... But still will think about the dream in the back of my mind (it's was a black thing above/near the Book of Mormon ... I got out of my bed so fast to turn on the light standing there under the light hoping the thing goes away ... It did and I want to back sleep ... The next the missionary came to house and I told them about the dream and they said they didn't know what it was ... So I joined the church two weeks after that ... 81/2 years .... With the church ..... NOW I'M FREE Now I have tell them to stop coming to the house
🤣 been there. I was baptized there even with people telling me that the Mormon church was not the right church. Bad things started happening to me after that. Stopped going because I started feeling uncomfortable and lonely. I finally gave my life to Christ 5 years later and got baptized again, this time for true
I've studied the mormons with an open mind and my conclusion is! They are preaching another Jesus! Just as the Bible says they will!! I love people and only want truth in my life so I share as much as I can with other religions..... There is no other name under heaven given where we can be saved! Jesus Christ!!
@Thomas Wilmott what I don't understand about the book of Mormon and the purl of great price is why the need to "complement" the Bible when Jesus said it is finished.
I am glad that you have learned (& are teaching us) to add the parachute description - putting on the Lord Jesus Christ as you would put on a parachute - and trusting that the parachute (IE Jesus) will save you.. I think that's an easier way of understanding the concept than throwing oneself on God's mercy.
I think it was great how Ray identified the fact that if we are relying on our works in any way, then it is no longer a gift. Also, how he clarified that repentance isn't enough. However, wouldn't it be important to clarify who Jesus is since the Mormon believes in a different Jesus? Would putting your trust in the Mormon Jesus, a created being, save you? I guess I'm suggesting that we have to make sure we clarify who Jesus is in addition to clarifying what sin is and how we will be judged.
The more you let God into your life, the more light you start to radiate. The more you walk The Path, the more fulfilled and happy your life becomes. The closer you are to God, the more Love you express. More smiles come out of your face, and more connection, and unconditional Love, you start feeling for your brother humans. From that, I can see how this Mormon guy is closer to God than the interviewer. This Christian guys should judge less and Love more. We are all family after all. :)
I think the point which should be said to him is that our faith in Christ is what gives us salvation, we receive The Holy Spirit which allows us to better serve God. This serving isn’t what gives us salvation but it is what gives us a way of life which is righteous.
Love watching what you guys do, wish there was a way to "catch up" with some of the folks you've spoken with, kind of an "update" thing. Heading to your website now!
3/22/19: Well, Gentry definitely need JESUS CHRIST but don’t we all. Thank GOD for HIS servant Ray to share the Gospel with this young man. Let’s keep Gentry in our prayers. Love Ray, Kirk and the Living Waters team.
Christianity is different, it is about the object of our faith Jesus Christ, who was a real person and can be documented in ancient writings. The one true God humbled Himself and became man to pay for our sins if we put our faith in Him. The biggest act of Love ever. He isn't some self serving diety, He is a selfless serving God, Jesus came to earth to be a servant for us. Christianity is so simple and beautiful that people can't believe it is that simple.
How do I put my trust into Jesus? That is mentioned in every video as the only way to salvation, but how do I do that? Do i just say, "Jesus I trust you" and go about my day? what does it look like to live a life trusting in Jesus? I'm having so much trouble fighting the desires of my flesh, and I see in many parts of the bible that people like me will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I repent of my sins, and I genuinely want to flee from them. Is there a point in Christianity where Jesus takes these desires away? turns a blind eye? am I expected to fight them on my own until purged (which hasn't worked)? I can trust Jesus all day long that he died for the sins, in which I'm still so entangled, but why can I not overcome? A lot of Christians say, "Jesus did it all - you're forgiven past, present, and future" , but is that supposed to make me feel better? I hate my sin, it makes me feel so dirty and terrible, it disgusts me and I know it's not who I am. I want freedom from it desperately. Not to mention, people like me "will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven" If I'm still living in sin. Please help me understand, I don't want to die like this
True repentance is a gift of God. To repent and believe is a gift of God. Not by the will man Door by the will of the flesh but Of God who shows mercy.
@@jeffjohns7037 all good things come from God....we can't boast that we did it ourselves for the bible says without God you can do nothing...and we can't come to Jesus until the Father draws us.... !!!
Isaiah 14:12-15 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit
Anyone can be like Christ when acting from a place of pure unconditional Love. In this judgmental world, where everyone is scared of everyone, trying to control others instead of working at their side, as equals; it is quite hard to act as Jesus. Judgement day is every day. Some people prefer to call it Karma, or Law of Attraction. Sin may appear rewarding in physical life, but it's not. Only the path of Love&Light fulfills the heart. This makes heaven & hell to be right here on earth. Peace:)
We are all in debt because of our Sins, we can try hard so that our Good deeds out way our Bad, but to enter into the highest level of heaven to be in the same place as God, we must be pure, and by accpeting Christ, and Repenting in his name, he will take away our imperfections and bad deeds so that we might be in Gods presence is what the LDS Church says.
Outer darkness is for apostates . People that left the Mormon church . According to Mormonism I will go there. According to the Bible I’m going to heaven ! Hallelujah I am heaven bound !!
@DannyIgnite what i meant was God does not chose we chose by our actions through out our life. so God is not making us go to hell we make ourselfs go to hell by how we live our life. its our freewill
The one thing I really disagree with in how they approach these people is that they don't tell them Jesus said, "Go, and sin no more." They are telling people to trust Jesus, but that's only half of the truth. You need to trust Jesus to CHANGE you, make you "new creation in Christ Jesus." It's not that you can trust Jesus to pay for your past sins, but repentance itself means to be sorry and TURN from your ways. They cannot continue in their sins once they trust Jesus to pay for their past sins, it's also a trust in Him to change their hearts and leave the life of sin behind through His power.
When you first trust Jesus to save you, you are "born again" as Jesus told Nicodemus in the book of John. Your sins are forgiven. Then it"s like any newborn baby. You must grow and mature. which is where change comes in. If a baby is born with a defect and never grows up, that doesn't change the fact that the baby was born. It does mean there is something wrong. The same is true in the Christian life. You trust God to forgive your sins and take you to Heaven, then as you grow, He changes you. Change should be an EVIDENCE of salvation, but it is not a PART of salvation that you can do. Otherwise, you would have a works salvation. Just wanted to clarify. :)
ribbonsncalico I agree with about 3/4s of what you said, unless I'm just misunderstanding. The Bible indicates that you do not become born again unless you repent. Repentance means being sorry in such a way that you abhor and hate the sins you do. If you don't have this kind of attitude to turn from your sins, but continue to WANT them and LOVE them, then you have not been born again. My issue with the videos is that they didn't clearly state this to the people they were talking with. It was as if they were saying Jesus will pay for their sins, but no life change needs to result. This is a deception and a lie. Maybe that's not how they meant to present it, but that's how it comes across.
Pantheist, The context of that command from Jesus to the rich man to give away all his possessions was not a overarching command to all people. The man came to Jesus claiming he keeps all the commandments perfectly, so Jesus reminded him that depending on earthly treasure is also a sin. The man clearly had a dependency on riches that had a hold on him because the Bible says he went away from Jesus very distraught and saddened, indicating the man had a great love of money. "The love of money is the root of all evil." Solomon was one of the richest men in all history, yet Jesus said even a flower is better dressed than Solomon ever ways. Jesus didn't condemn Solomon's riches, instead Jesus moved the focus onto our need to depend on Him and look beyond what we can have in this temporary life. There's nothing wrong with being rich, the Bible states many times that God has a plan for us to be rich and satisfied. Where the problem comes in is when we depend on those riches and make them our idol.
The Book of Mormon condemns dead works, but Mormons put too much emphasis on fruits because of Matthew 7, James 2, 1 John 2, and 2 Nephi 25:23 You know, it makes sense, but that's why its so deceptive 2 Corinthians 11:4 talks about another gospel and another jesus being preached 1800 years before Joseph Smith Galatians 1 8 talks about an angel from the sky being rejected upon preaching another gospel Matthew 24 24 talks about the plethora of false prophets and christs that are needed to fulfill prophecy I remember a missionary in my house talking about "this gospel" "this gospel" as he pointed to the Book Of Mormon, as if it was different than the Bible The Book of Mormon contains 0 terrible verses and is flawless, but if it leads to another gospel and another spirit and another jesus than the one preached in the Bible than its not good and can be very damaging I want all Mormons to give up their religion for Christ, their Salvation (probably) depends on it I also must say that Mormons know the name of Christ well, but not the Being of Christ well "Depart from me I never knew you" The name of Christ is powerful and is above all names, but the Being of Christ is what is even more important than His Name A lot of Mormons will say "it's the Church of Jesus Christ of ladder Day Saints" as if that just proves it. But the name is nothing compared to the Being, and the name is something that anyone can use to a great degree The purpose of life is to know God and make him known, or to be Friends with Jesus basically NOT anything else really...
I think its safe to say that all men have lied more than 10 times. therefore we are all liars, including you my friend. So what he is saying makes perfect sense. Eternal life through Jesus Christ? sounds like the best news I have ever heard
I'd love to talk to you guys (Elton Robb, Don Layton) Here's what I'd like to discuss: There is only one God, from eternity Isaiah 43:10 Psalm 90:2 God is not a man, never changes Numbers 23:19 Hebrews 13:8 James 1:17 God is a Spirit Genesis 1:2 2 Chronicles 6:18 John 4:24 Jesus says Spirits have no bodies Luke 24:39 No one can see God, Jesus is the "image of the invisible God" John 1:18 Collossians 1:15, 2nd Corinthians 4:4 John 14:9 Jesus gave up certain aspects about himself to fulfill his ministry (glory, power, knowledge, etc.) Philippians 2:6 Jesus is God, everlasting Father 1 Timothy 3:16 Isaiah 9:6 Jesus was born physically of a virgin, by the Spirit (again, no flesh) Luke 1:35 Isaiah 7:14 Jesus eternally/spiritually always was, and came from the Father, not a spiritual mother, then was revealed to the world. John 1:18 John 1:1,3,14 Colossians 1:16 If we are Christians we should follow what Christ Himself said: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matthew 24:35 God's revelation has never and will never pass. Our responsibility is to compare ourselves to it, to make sure we don't contradict what He said with our views or opinions! Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39 And if someone comes and preaches a different Christ, or Gospel, or God, and even performs signs and wonders, even if it's an angel of light or Apostle Paul himself, don't listen! 2nd Corinthians 11:3,4 Deuteronomy 13:1-4 Galatians 1:8 God bless you guys!

James 2:17 you've gotta prove your faith. Otherwise we could all easily say, yeah man I except Jesus and what he did. How do we know if someone is our friend? It's by the things they do for us, not by what they say to us. The preacher is proving his faith by preaching, and showing love for God's word and for the people
Can you make it to heaven?, "well l hope so, I'm working at it......" Welcome to Mormonism, where salvation is a life long job, following the teachings of one man, Joseph Smith, and being obedient to him, his new scriptures, and church. What a dear man.
God's existence requires eternality, and eternality by definition requires that it must exist outside of time in order for it to be considered eternal to begin with. So, primarily speaking, God's existence is based on his eternality (which is entirely outside of time itself), and it is because of this eternality, that it allows for him to exist without actually needing a beginning for his existence, while at the same time still allowing him to have the ability to exist without end. cont
Fake believers do good works only to appear as believers. You will know their results. Real believers do good works because they are saved, not to get saved. Only God can save us. Non-protestant churches believe God is an idiot and they protect child molesters.
Everyone is a sinner. Everyone will make mistakes. When you believe in God you will try to not sin, but no-one is perfect and often do anyway. As long as you ask God's forgiveness he will forgive you. No-one should try to sin because they think God will forgive them anyway, but as a Christian I try my best not too and it doesn't always work. That's why we need God's grace. I hope this was helpful :)
Make no mistake, You must turn away from sin to be saved, what this means is to realize that we are sinners, Just think about how many lies you have told in your life. How many times you have blasphemed gods name, the very person who gave you life, The bible says gods standard for goodness is so high, that if you have ever been angry with someone and called them a fool, you have committed murder in your heart. God judges us all when we die, and these are the crimes we have committed against him. We will be held accountable for each and every sin we have ever committed, and if found guilty, the result is a place of eternal torment called hell. This sounds like a terrible place to be, I would not want anyone to go there, and neither does god. That's why god has prepared a way for us to be saved, it's a free gift from god that he offers all of us, When god sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins, that was a legal transaction that was being taken place. Repentance means turning away from sin, realize how bad we really are, don't justify sin but turn away from it completely. plead with god to forgive you for your sins, and accept him as your Savior. This what they mean when someone says to Repent and turn to Jesus. You have to do both in order to be saved, and it's a free gift to everyone, we can't save ourselves only god can forgive us.
Eden M, You’re theology is not correct. Please read below from 1 John 1: “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” 1 John 1:5-10 ESV
Jesus is the truth and Satan is the lie. Remember the old lie? "4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman." Do you notice that sleek slippery tongue of him? "you might die but that's not for sure?" That's why the Word had to cloth Himself in the body of a man, a humble servant, to save us all, because of a sleeky tongue. @Anth The beast, we are all the same, we all sinned, we all ask for forgiveness, we all need His salvation like a shipwrecked needs a lifeline.
I'm a Christian, not to be mistaken with a situational-Christian or a religious-choker. I have committed blasphemy, lust, deceit, theft, and probably a few other sins. That being said I am probably not too much of a good example of a picture perfect Christian. But God knows I'm trying, and that I attempt to lead by example and compassion. With my sins committed, I have Jesus in my heart and he helps me towards redemption and true prosperity. That's what I believe.
Romans 10:9,10 if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that God raised Jesus from the dead you will be saved. Repentance does not lead to salvation repentance is a result of salvation. Repent means turn and go the other way. The Law shows us that we need a savior and that we are damned. The understanding of our own sinfulness leads us to the savior Christ Jesus. Putting our trust in Jesus our belief in Him shows us that we need to repent on turn from our sin.
I was born into the Mormon church and after 26 years I left. I have found Christ and while I may not understand everything, I am thankful that God saved me!

Such a mannerable young man. This is a great video and I'm learning so much about evangelism, from Pastor Comforts teaching. God bless you, Sir and thank you for your obedience.
I use to be a mormon but when I was 9 years old God tore me away from my father that walked out on me (and my brother and sister) and placed all of us in christian homes. I may not see my brother often buy I know that he is in as good a home as I am and God has blessed us.
Thank you for sharing with Gentry and other Mormons. I pray that God opens my family and loved ones eyes and heart!
I learn something from everyone of these videos. Thank you for your solid teachings Dear Brothers ❤

God is working in this young man. Most Mormons are deaf to sound doctrine. They refuse to engage. This young man has an open mind and open heart.
our "willingness to change" comes AFTER we trust in Jesus.
Perfect! This is what I've been looking for. God Bless and thank you!!
Peter said to them "Repent and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
After confession of sins , repentance and baptism.
Start living a life of obedience to the Lord . Feed yourself with word everyday. More and more you will understand and have trust , conviction and love for God.
Ray! You're Awesome! Love the work you do!! I hope Gentry, wherever you are, you saw the light to take Jesus as your Savior!!
Love what you two do-- in gentleness & love. Our mens group participated in ," The Way of The Master", and personally- what a great teaching. What I learned - for me- when you step out For Jesus with the right heart He'll supply the rest
A very nice man. You could see he is being touched by Ray's preaching.
Thank you so much for ministry!🙏
Wery simple.When Jesus forgave the harlot,He said that she was forgiven,but she sholud go and
" sinned no more "!
CHRISTians, Grace, Peace, n LOVE In The HOLY KING. Beware when you hear a member of a cult use your terminology. They do not mean the same things; they have a completely different worldview. Stay sharp and Sanctify CHRIST as YHWH/LORD in your heart, always being ready to give a defense - Holy Gospel.
Great job to Ray and his team! GODs people are the sharpest people on planet earth!
The mormon gospel, saved by grace after all I can do....
MrRamyon74 Well, it is “in, through, because and in” CHRIST we are saved, forgiven, washed, cleansed and accepted by GOD. All other ground is SINKING SAND. JESUS alone is our sure, stedfast anchor. And is because/by of ALL that HE DID will GOD ever accept me into HIS heaven. Our hope and eyes should be on JESUS CHRIST a l o n e. HE is the AUTHOR & FINISHER of our faith. Maranatha from Hawaii.
It was revealed later to their leaders that it's "Before, During, AND after all we can do"
The Atonement is obviously in effect before we turn in our report cards, Mormons would agree too
2 Nephi 25:23 is a truism, not a half truth or a falsehood
It was confusing for me (and I assume it's confusing for them too) when I first heard one of the participants answer "Repent." and they were then told "Nope, won't help you." Repenting IS part of it, so I feel after they say repent, we could then say, "Yes! Repent and ALSO trust in Jesus." I know Ray always gets to that part eventually, but wondering why he does it this way.
That’s true, and that a person won’t repent unless God changes their heart first ❤️
Bc it's a script he sticks to and his message can't bc fulfilled without saying it in this order. I'm not saying a script in a bad way but a way to keep them thinking and understand what Jesus actually did for us. Sometimes people just skip that part and don't know the seriousness of sin. Some people don't understand what repentance is. Some think it means just saying sorry and trying to not do it again. However it's having a change of heart and mind and putting your faith and trust in him that he's our Savior and we'll be saved.
There's a method to his madness.
some people also think that Christians are hypocrites because they believe they can repent(and that's it) and continue to sin and they'll still go to heaven... But this is lukewarm Christianity and this isnt pleasing to God. It's quite the opposite like the pagans.
Ohhhhhhh those books at the end are what I’m looking for. Cool! Thanks for everything on this channel, I love seeing my CZcams feed flooded with the Lord now 💕💕💕💕
Before I came to Christ couple days ago I tried dif religions no joke I was a lost atheist and very confused and low self steam but God open my eyes watching this beautiful videos well reading my Bible I got a free gift right to my door same day KJV hard to understand but I’m trying pls pray for me as I have many friends from many dif religions that I can be a light and salt to them that’s what God calls ous to do
I've seen a lot of your comments. You explain things well, I appreciate you taking the time to explain things to other CZcams users. God Bless.
81/2 years ago I joined the LDS church after I had a dream about the church .(the dream was not to good it's a thing that freaked me out) .. And still joined its anyway ... I tried to tell myself that the church was true because I liked the teaching of how the readied the bible and how loving and kind they was to me and helped when my family and needed them in hard times ... But still will think about the dream in the back of my mind (it's was a black thing above/near the Book of Mormon ... I got out of my bed so fast to turn on the light standing there under the light hoping the thing goes away ... It did and I want to back sleep ... The next the missionary came to house and I told them about the dream and they said they didn't know what it was ... So I joined the church two weeks after that ... 81/2 years .... With the church ..... NOW I'M FREE
Now I have tell them to stop coming to the house
🤣 been there. I was baptized there even with people telling me that the Mormon church was not the right church. Bad things started happening to me after that. Stopped going because I started feeling uncomfortable and lonely.
I finally gave my life to Christ 5 years later and got baptized again, this time for true
I've studied the mormons with an open mind and my conclusion is! They are preaching another Jesus! Just as the Bible says they will!! I love people and only want truth in my life so I share as much as I can with other religions..... There is no other name under heaven given where we can be saved! Jesus Christ!!
Riina Hallelujah! God bless you Riina! ☝️ 👏 🙏 👍 ✌
@Thomas Wilmott She stated that she is now free! ☝️ 👏 🙏
@Thomas Wilmott what I don't understand about the book of Mormon and the purl of great price is why the need to "complement" the Bible when Jesus said it is finished.
I am glad that you have learned (& are teaching us) to add the parachute description - putting on the Lord Jesus Christ as you would put on a parachute - and trusting that the parachute (IE Jesus) will save you.. I think that's an easier way of understanding the concept than throwing oneself on God's mercy.
What a nice guy. Open minded and now most likely saved
I love these videos…it’s good training for evangelism
I think it was great how Ray identified the fact that if we are relying on our works in any way, then it is no longer a gift. Also, how he clarified that repentance isn't enough. However, wouldn't it be important to clarify who Jesus is since the Mormon believes in a different Jesus? Would putting your trust in the Mormon Jesus, a created being, save you? I guess I'm suggesting that we have to make sure we clarify who Jesus is in addition to clarifying what sin is and how we will be judged.
What a wonderful conversation.
The more you let God into your life, the more light you start to radiate. The more you walk The Path, the more fulfilled and happy your life becomes. The closer you are to God, the more Love you express. More smiles come out of your face, and more connection, and unconditional Love, you start feeling for your brother humans. From that, I can see how this Mormon guy is closer to God than the interviewer.
This Christian guys should judge less and Love more. We are all family after all. :)
I think the point which should be said to him is that our faith in Christ is what gives us salvation, we receive The Holy Spirit which allows us to better serve God. This serving isn’t what gives us salvation but it is what gives us a way of life which is righteous.
Amen thank you for this video 🙏❤️
Amazing how mormans say hope, a lot. Fortunately with Jesus, we know
the 37 dislikes are mormons i presume
Praise God for the gift of salvation !!!!
Love watching what you guys do, wish there was a way to "catch up" with some of the folks you've spoken with, kind of an "update" thing. Heading to your website now!
Saved only by the Grace of Jesus.......rewarded for works by God
Salvation starts with Jesus....but there is No salvation without repentance....
What a precious young man!
HooRay!
2018🇺🇸💖
this was an effective explanation of how we are reconciled to God to a typical works trusting mormon.
3/22/19: Well, Gentry definitely need JESUS CHRIST but don’t we all. Thank GOD for HIS servant Ray to share the Gospel with this young man. Let’s keep Gentry in our prayers. Love Ray, Kirk and the Living Waters team.
We serve God because we are saved, not to get saved. Thank you Lord Jesus for the free gift of salvation.
Life literally clings onto God.
AND
"For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for GOOD works, which God prepared beforehand that we should WALK IN THEM' Ephesians 2:10
This is beautiful
Glory to God almighty!!
Christianity is different, it is about the object of our faith Jesus Christ, who was a real person and can be documented in ancient writings. The one true God humbled Himself and became man to pay for our sins if we put our faith in Him. The biggest act of Love ever. He isn't some self serving diety, He is a selfless serving God, Jesus came to earth to be a servant for us. Christianity is so simple and beautiful that people can't believe it is that simple.
I think he needed to hear a little more gospel, I'm not sure if he got it. Hopefully Ray explain to him after the video. 🥰🙏
Why do they always disable ratings? And sometimes comments?
I like these videos and the techniques used to help people see.
amhater all Ray is doing here is quoting word for word the Book of Mormon then saying it’s false.
How do I put my trust into Jesus? That is mentioned in every video as the only way to salvation, but how do I do that? Do i just say, "Jesus I trust you" and go about my day? what does it look like to live a life trusting in Jesus? I'm having so much trouble fighting the desires of my flesh, and I see in many parts of the bible that people like me will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I repent of my sins, and I genuinely want to flee from them. Is there a point in Christianity where Jesus takes these desires away? turns a blind eye? am I expected to fight them on my own until purged (which hasn't worked)? I can trust Jesus all day long that he died for the sins, in which I'm still so entangled, but why can I not overcome? A lot of Christians say, "Jesus did it all - you're forgiven past, present, and future" , but is that supposed to make me feel better? I hate my sin, it makes me feel so dirty and terrible, it disgusts me and I know it's not who I am. I want freedom from it desperately. Not to mention, people like me "will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven" If I'm still living in sin. Please help me understand, I don't want to die like this
This is true but repentance actually is a very important part of it.
True repentance is a gift of God. To repent and believe is a gift of God. Not by the will man Door by the will of the flesh but Of God who shows mercy.
Dan, you literally make it sound as if we are robots and that we cant think and act for ourselves.
@@jeffjohns7037 all good things come from God....we can't boast that we did it ourselves for the bible says without God you can do nothing...and we can't come to Jesus until the Father draws us.... !!!
Why is every one arguing about how the universe began?, big bang etc. how it was made doesn't really concern us! God made it how he chose.
CountdownSmiles I think they are arguing about whether or not God made the universe or not.
If only I had the words to preach to people...I usually make it sound different then it should be...so I’m watching Ray to f8nd the words to speak.
Love it
Isaiah 14:12-15
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit
In Christ alone.
Anyone can be like Christ when acting from a place of pure unconditional Love. In this judgmental world, where everyone is scared of everyone, trying to control others instead of working at their side, as equals; it is quite hard to act as Jesus. Judgement day is every day. Some people prefer to call it Karma, or Law of Attraction. Sin may appear rewarding in physical life, but it's not. Only the path of Love&Light fulfills the heart. This makes heaven & hell to be right here on earth.
Peace:)
Praise be to LORD 🙏
We are all in debt because of our Sins, we can try hard so that our Good deeds out way our Bad, but to enter into the highest level of heaven to be in the same place as God, we must be pure, and by accpeting Christ, and Repenting in his name, he will take away our imperfections and bad deeds so that we might be in Gods presence is what the LDS Church says.
The Bottom of the barrel nope, Book of Mormon says we are saved by His grace! 2Nephi. But Ray doesn’t seem to know that.
I like this one alot
Outer darkness is for apostates . People that left the Mormon church . According to Mormonism I will go there. According to the Bible I’m going to heaven ! Hallelujah I am heaven bound !!
The only way we know what the gospel is is thought he Spirit of God.
Thank YOu Jesus
Thanks, I try. Blessings to you too.
@DannyIgnite what i meant was God does not chose we chose by our actions through out our life. so God is not making us go to hell we make ourselfs go to hell by how we live our life. its our freewill
The one thing I really disagree with in how they approach these people is that they don't tell them Jesus said, "Go, and sin no more." They are telling people to trust Jesus, but that's only half of the truth. You need to trust Jesus to CHANGE you, make you "new creation in Christ Jesus." It's not that you can trust Jesus to pay for your past sins, but repentance itself means to be sorry and TURN from your ways. They cannot continue in their sins once they trust Jesus to pay for their past sins, it's also a trust in Him to change their hearts and leave the life of sin behind through His power.
When you first trust Jesus to save you, you are "born again" as Jesus told Nicodemus in the book of John. Your sins are forgiven. Then it"s like any newborn baby. You must grow and mature. which is where change comes in. If a baby is born with a defect and never grows up, that doesn't change the fact that the baby was born. It does mean there is something wrong. The same is true in the Christian life. You trust God to forgive your sins and take you to Heaven, then as you grow, He changes you. Change should be an EVIDENCE of salvation, but it is not a PART of salvation that you can do. Otherwise, you would have a works salvation. Just wanted to clarify. :)
ribbonsncalico I agree with about 3/4s of what you said, unless I'm just misunderstanding. The Bible indicates that you do not become born again unless you repent. Repentance means being sorry in such a way that you abhor and hate the sins you do. If you don't have this kind of attitude to turn from your sins, but continue to WANT them and LOVE them, then you have not been born again.
My issue with the videos is that they didn't clearly state this to the people they were talking with. It was as if they were saying Jesus will pay for their sins, but no life change needs to result. This is a deception and a lie. Maybe that's not how they meant to present it, but that's how it comes across.
Agreed. I cant stand these people, the most non Christians on the internet.
Amen, you said it *way* better than how I was trying to say it.
Pantheist,
The context of that command from Jesus to the rich man to give away all his possessions was not a overarching command to all people. The man came to Jesus claiming he keeps all the commandments perfectly, so Jesus reminded him that depending on earthly treasure is also a sin. The man clearly had a dependency on riches that had a hold on him because the Bible says he went away from Jesus very distraught and saddened, indicating the man had a great love of money.
"The love of money is the root of all evil."
Solomon was one of the richest men in all history, yet Jesus said even a flower is better dressed than Solomon ever ways. Jesus didn't condemn Solomon's riches, instead Jesus moved the focus onto our need to depend on Him and look beyond what we can have in this temporary life.
There's nothing wrong with being rich, the Bible states many times that God has a plan for us to be rich and satisfied. Where the problem comes in is when we depend on those riches and make them our idol.
The Book of Mormon condemns dead works, but Mormons put too much emphasis on fruits because of Matthew 7, James 2, 1 John 2, and 2 Nephi 25:23
You know, it makes sense, but that's why its so deceptive
2 Corinthians 11:4 talks about another gospel and another jesus being preached 1800 years before Joseph Smith
Galatians 1 8 talks about an angel from the sky being rejected upon preaching another gospel
Matthew 24 24 talks about the plethora of false prophets and christs that are needed to fulfill prophecy
I remember a missionary in my house talking about "this gospel" "this gospel" as he pointed to the Book Of Mormon, as if it was different than the Bible
The Book of Mormon contains 0 terrible verses and is flawless, but if it leads to another gospel and another spirit and another jesus than the one preached in the Bible than its not good and can be very damaging
I want all Mormons to give up their religion for Christ, their Salvation (probably) depends on it
I also must say that Mormons know the name of Christ well, but not the Being of Christ well
"Depart from me I never knew you"
The name of Christ is powerful and is above all names, but the Being of Christ is what is even more important than His Name
A lot of Mormons will say "it's the Church of Jesus Christ of ladder Day Saints" as if that just proves it. But the name is nothing compared to the Being, and the name is something that anyone can use to a great degree
The purpose of life is to know God and make him known, or to be Friends with Jesus basically
NOT anything else really...
I think its safe to say that all men have lied more than 10 times. therefore we are all liars, including you my friend. So what he is saying makes perfect sense. Eternal life through Jesus Christ? sounds like the best news I have ever heard
this was almost 10 years ago. hopefully he has trusted Jesus alone for his salvation.
wears all the links in the description ? like your website and other good links ???/
Nice celebrity sponored Ad at the end of the video Ray!
Ray, if you want to have a serious interview with a Latter-day Saint, I'll be happy to give you one.
I would too, but they won't be able to get away with this kind of elementary questioning with someone who understands doctrine.
I'd love to talk to you guys (Elton Robb, Don Layton)
Here's what I'd like to discuss:
There is only one God, from eternity
Isaiah 43:10
Psalm 90:2
God is not a man, never changes
Numbers 23:19
Hebrews 13:8
James 1:17
God is a Spirit
Genesis 1:2
2 Chronicles 6:18
John 4:24
Jesus says Spirits have no bodies
Luke 24:39
No one can see God, Jesus is the "image of the invisible God"
John 1:18
Collossians 1:15, 2nd Corinthians 4:4
John 14:9
Jesus gave up certain aspects about himself to fulfill his ministry (glory, power, knowledge, etc.)
Philippians 2:6
Jesus is God, everlasting Father
1 Timothy 3:16
Isaiah 9:6
Jesus was born physically of a virgin, by the Spirit (again, no flesh)
Luke 1:35
Isaiah 7:14
Jesus eternally/spiritually always was, and came from the Father, not a spiritual mother, then was revealed to the world.
John 1:18
John 1:1,3,14
Colossians 1:16
If we are Christians we should follow what Christ Himself said:
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:35
God's revelation has never and will never pass. Our responsibility is to compare ourselves to it, to make sure we don't contradict what He said with our views or opinions!
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 5:39
And if someone comes and preaches a different Christ, or Gospel, or God, and even performs signs and wonders, even if it's an angel of light or Apostle Paul himself, don't listen!
2nd Corinthians 11:3,4
Deuteronomy 13:1-4
Galatians 1:8
God bless you guys!

James 2:17 you've gotta prove your faith. Otherwise we could all easily say, yeah man I except Jesus and what he did. How do we know if someone is our friend? It's by the things they do for us, not by what they say to us. The preacher is proving his faith by preaching, and showing love for God's word and for the people
God bless
HB! MY HOME TOWN :)
Mormonism comes close. Some are inoculated from the truth. Praise God the kid got it.
First Ray we have to repent , then accept God and Jesus as our saviour
"For God so loved the word, that he gave his only forgotten son." LOL Wrong! @ 9:40
Most mormons are lost... Christians pls witness to them and pray for them 😌💕
so if that book can get me closer to god than any other book, then tell me why i need to even read the JST, D&C or the pearl of great price?
tarhealfriend14 less information is what you’re looking for...ok
Can you make it to heaven?, "well l hope so, I'm working at it......"
Welcome to Mormonism, where salvation is a life long job, following the teachings of one man, Joseph Smith, and being obedient to him, his new scriptures, and church.
What a dear man.
God's existence requires eternality, and eternality by definition requires that it must exist outside of time in order for it to be considered eternal to begin with. So, primarily speaking, God's existence is based on his eternality (which is entirely outside of time itself), and it is because of this eternality, that it allows for him to exist without actually needing a beginning for his existence, while at the same time still allowing him to have the ability to exist without end.

Protestant churches don't believe we go to heaven because of our good works!
Fake believers do good works only to appear as believers. You will know their results.
Real believers do good works because they are saved, not to get saved. Only God can save us.
Non-protestant churches believe God is an idiot and they protect child molesters.
I'm a big fan of youes and I'm only 11 does God forgive kids always even if they repent and sin again and if you lie to but try your best not to
Everyone is a sinner. Everyone will make mistakes. When you believe in God you will try to not sin, but no-one is perfect and often do anyway. As long as you ask God's forgiveness he will forgive you. No-one should try to sin because they think God will forgive them anyway, but as a Christian I try my best not too and it doesn't always work. That's why we need God's grace. I hope this was helpful :)
Repenting means to turn from your sins, there's a difference between being sorry and repenting. Being sorry doesn't cut it, repenting does.
Make no mistake, You must turn away from sin to be saved, what this means is to realize that we are sinners, Just think about how many lies you have told in your life. How many times you have blasphemed gods name, the very person who gave you life, The bible says gods standard for goodness is so high, that if you have ever been angry with someone and called them a fool, you have committed murder in your heart. God judges us all when we die, and these are the crimes we have committed against him. We will be held accountable for each and every sin we have ever committed, and if found guilty, the result is a place of eternal torment called hell. This sounds like a terrible place to be, I would not want anyone to go there, and neither does god. That's why god has prepared a way for us to be saved, it's a free gift from god that he offers all of us, When god sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins, that was a legal transaction that was being taken place. Repentance means turning away from sin, realize how bad we really are, don't justify sin but turn away from it completely. plead with god to forgive you for your sins, and accept him as your Savior. This what they mean when someone says to Repent and turn to Jesus. You have to do both in order to be saved, and it's a free gift to everyone, we can't save ourselves only god can forgive us.
Eden M,
You’re theology is not correct. Please read below from 1 John 1:
“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:5-10 ESV
Jesus is the truth and Satan is the lie. Remember the old lie? "4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman." Do you notice that sleek slippery tongue of him? "you might die but that's not for sure?" That's why the Word had to cloth Himself in the body of a man, a humble servant, to save us all, because of a sleeky tongue.
@Anth The beast, we are all the same, we all sinned, we all ask for forgiveness, we all need His salvation like a shipwrecked needs a lifeline.
this guy is cool. God bless him.
Sorry Terri, can you please show me where the bible tells us that Lucifer was an angel?
Shalom!
Is that Buck from Left Behind Series??
I'm a Christian, not to be mistaken with a situational-Christian or a religious-choker. I have committed blasphemy, lust, deceit, theft, and probably a few other sins. That being said I am probably not too much of a good example of a picture perfect Christian. But God knows I'm trying, and that I attempt to lead by example and compassion. With my sins committed, I have Jesus in my heart and he helps me towards redemption and true prosperity. That's what I believe.
Romans 10:9,10 if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that God raised Jesus from the dead you will be saved. Repentance does not lead to salvation repentance is a result of salvation. Repent means turn and go the other way. The Law shows us that we need a savior and that we are damned. The understanding of our own sinfulness leads us to the savior Christ Jesus. Putting our trust in Jesus our belief in Him shows us that we need to repent on turn from our sin.
@EricMwizerwa well god hears all prayers, but sometimes prayers said out loud can mean a bit more to you, its really personal preference
