Christ brought me back home. I served 25 years in the military and went astray. 7 months ago He came back for me and changed my desires and delivered me from my sins. I boldly proclaim the gospel!!!!
Greetings in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord. 15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16 Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:15-18, ESV)
I served with many who had the same story. Especially overseas where they could cheat on spouses or party all the time. I led a Bible study in the barracks after Christ called me. Not bragging, but the point is that once you stray with those who are not saved, it’s almost embarrassing to share Christ with them because you look like a lying fool. To God be the glory for your salvation.
@@ExploringAlabama the Apostle Paul went through the same thing. He went from persecuting the church and wasting it to proclaiming “I have a desire to depart and be with Christ which is far better.” Christ changes our desires, so much so, we hate the very spot of sin. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I came back almost 6 yrs ago I was miserable running from Him. And one person that had help me understand and live in repentance is this guy right here. He will never know what an impact he has had in my journey back and to stay on track. May God bless Voddie for his dedication and love for Him and us!! I love you Voddie and thank you
I quote: “When we pray we are bringing ourselves in line with the will of God, not God in line with our will.” All for His honor, all to His glory. I love that. I pray for that.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
I praise and thank God for you, Pastor Baucham. It’s health to my bones to hear your messages that I know come from wrestling for hours through the Scriptures. Everything you say is weighty and profound. God bless you for all the time you spend praying and studying; we glean the benefits, for sure.
Praise the Lord, thank you for these great videos about the Gospel. I'm not perfect nor will I ever be although every day I try to learn to pray better and give praise and glory to God. Even if a baby step every day, I strive to be a better version of myself tomorrow than I am today. And the only way to do this is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
@@dannytaylor-ed3hs Because life is a test and we all are at different places in our Journey which the Lord guides us. In the process you become a better version of yourself through Jesus Christ and to always give him the praise and honor his name
I’d heard all these things my entire life in church! And they never made sense to me! I’ve asked so many Christian elders in my family these questions and never heard an answer that made sense. So what Voddie is saying does make sense and it’s actually comforting! Because it does make sense! It all fits! And scripture interprets scripture. That’s also how it makes so much more sense! It answers so many of my questions. Like all those times I prayed asking Jesus to come into my heart as a kid, a teenager, an adult… why nothing at all happened! My brother, my son and so many of us have discussed this and I never really knew what to tell them. Thank you Voddie Baucham for explaining this! These are deadly lies in the church that need to have a spotlight shown on them
I am so very grateful for Pastor Baucham's clear explanation of the difference between "Once saved always saved" and the perseverance of the Saints or endurance of the elect. I've been searching for a better way of sharing this doctrine. After growing up and remaining with Arminianist assemblies for several decades, I finally studied soteriology more precisely. It's amazing how the truth makes all true doctrine more lucid, interlocking all of the bible's teaching together as a complete picture. When I heard the term "Calvanism" treated as if it were some word of cursing, I prayed and studied until the verasity of reformed theology illumined my understanding of God's eternal plan with Him being sovereign over everything, including salvation. His work, along with His word is certain, never failing and eternal. So, l if I am indeed among the elect of God, I have great assurance! Understanding GRACE, I know I can never be good enough or righteous enough on my own. But having the righteousness of Christ imputed to me, I know it can never be taken away. No one and nothing can snatch me out of the Father's hand. So, the issue becomes, am I TRULY in Christ, regenerated, born of the Spirit, OR NOT? John's 1st epistle offers a means to "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-unless, of course, you fail the test?" 2 Cor. 13:5
Yes!! Explained better than I could in my own head. I struggled with assurance of my salvation for decades! Sometimes I still do, when life is difficult and I don't handle things well. Thank you for sharing this 🙏✝️🕊️
1JOHN 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and Just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. Hebrews 4:15-16 NKJV For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
I can write a book on the sins I have commited and were a great burden on my mind. I knew scripture...I knew the Lord, but was ashamed and conscious of the kind of person I was. I talked to my parish priest about confession but guilt and maybe pride kept me away for months. The burden became greater and after service the priest and I talked and I broke down in tears and had my confession. Brother, I will tell you that fear went away and I felt a great weight off my heart and mind. It is us who keep ourselves and the devils darts of accusation from our God's grace and His immeasurable love for us. We...you, are the lost sheep, and the Lord is always looking for us. We are sometimes unsure and confused and thus keep running away, when we should be running towards His voice. When you hear His voice...run to Him. You are a spiritual son and He is your Father who will never forsake you. We must confess to Him and He is faithful to forgive us. God bless you.
hey terry, its danny…. dido, oh where can i see our brother jim earp play his music around San Diego these days, at least I hope hes still with us, in the flesh, anyway FREE PRAYER is the best deal goin !!!! You were( and therefore still are)an annointed worship leader….. yeah and Amen bro….. remember those sketchy Horizon soundchecks?…..and those blessed NORTH PARK THEATRE sessions? yeah i digress- by faith anyway rejoice rejoice/ We have no coice….BUT TO CARRY ON.
If you confess your sins to Him He is faithful to forgive them all but you must confess them. May God bless your walk stay strong and remember we all stumble and fall but He is faithfull and just to forgive us!😊🙏🏻
I was LDS for years, and they believe Jesus is their savior and the son of God, not what you claimed. They have their own issues like their false doctrine, the Book of Mormon, from their false prophet, Joseph Smith. So we don't need to spread fallacies because their own big issue is the truth, and we don't want to look bad by spreading lies. The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me a lot lately, and I finally listened and left Norse Heathenism. I'm so thankful and filled with happiness. I never felt like this as a child in church and not with the LDS church. I love your sermons. Thank you so much. 😊
God bless. The LDS, while seemingly harmless, lead a lot of people down the wrong path. And it’s amazing to see that you’ve returned to Christ! Reminds me of the parable of the lost sheep.
Actually everything he said is official Mormon doctrine about Jesus being spirit brothers with Satan etc. This can easily be verified from Mormon sources
@selormlogoh1378 not once did I read that in the Book of Mormon. They read both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. It's not in those. What is your source for this?
@@selormlogoh1378 are you going to back up and provide sources? I can provide sources that prove what you're claiming as false. Remember, we are not to lie, even with being mistaken by believing what you hear from others and spreading that lie. Like I said before, they have the issue of following a false prophet and false doctrine. They believe Jesus is the Savior and Son God. They believe he one of 3 parts of God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. I was in that church for about 6 years and actually participated. 3 hour Sundays every Sunday, plus extra stuff when it happened.
The thing I love about Voddie Baucham is that he didn’t grow up in all of the falsehoods and traditions many of us did. This makes his approach to the text different from many of ours because he is a blank slate. Many of us have pre-suppositions and they keep us from the truth. I pray to God that I become of a student of the text in the way that he is.
"Born in Los Angeles California in 1969, Voddie was raised by his single, teen-aged mother after his father went off to pursue a career in professional football. Voddie was not raised in a Christian home. In fact, his mother was a practicing Buddhist"
Amen! Majority of the churches that use emotional manipulation techniques (followers of Billy Graham who study Charles Finney more than the Bible) to get people to "make a decision for Jesus and let Him into your heart" don't even have people walk down the isle anymore. They'll tell you to "make that decision for Jesus and let him into your heart" right now where you stand, while making that decision for you with their infamous "repeat after me: Dear Jesus, I know I'm a sinner..." prayer that apparently "guarantees your eternal life regardless of how you live". Imagine if that's how cardiologists or cardiac surgeons got their degrees: "repeat after me: I believe I'm a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon..." now you're a professional go and operate on people. That would be disastrous! Just like these "repeat after me" prayers.
Thanks Pastor for this edifying video. This whole divide of OSAS vs Works is so divisive and discouraging. Thanks for having ears to hear the scriptures. God Bless
How do we know when someone has committed the sin unto death!? We can still relentlessly pray and beseech God to bring them to genuine faith and repentance in Christ Jesus!
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
He ain’t wrong…I used to believe I had it made by walking that isle and prayed that silly prayer. Until God Grabbed ahold me, sent me to the hospital bed…led me to RC Sproal, John MacArthur Steve Lawson and Voddie Baucham. I do worry about Matthew 7, it is the scariest chapter in the Bible
Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I pray in Jesus name period. Whatever we ask for IF it be his will he will grant us. Who knows the mind of God or what His will always is. Jesus will judge us- but our intentions.
I was told to find a new church... i had no problems, but apparently i could not grow anymore if i stayed. If there was another reason, i was uninformed.
In the Bible, Peter said to the man at the beautiful gate," in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk". Also Jesus himself said if you will ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:13-14 Maybe I'm misunderstanding the brother message in the manor in which we pray.
If you see a brother living in sin that leads to death that means the person is already a believer in Christ. If not the scripture wouldn't use a brother ,so the person isn't an unbeliever.
Whenever I get asked about some doctrine or where I stand on a particular biblical subject that I am not sure about I always say, "Give me an hour to watch a Vodie Video and then I'll let ya know."
Voddie, we need you to do an audio Bible. Why not the English Revised Version from 1885? I'd pay to have that on an app that I could use. The translation is in the public domain. Do it! :)
“Sin unto death” means sinning until you die. A believer is freed from sin. A believer cannot sin. Those who still sin, hath not seen him, neither known him. This is the Word of God.
Those that say they have no sin lie & the truth is not in them. For sin lives in our members. For the things I wish not to do, that I do, but the things I wish to do that I do not. For when we sin we have an advocate with the father. Jesus, who is our propritation, He interceseeds for us. This is also the word of God.
@@newhorizon1355 You twisted those verses to keep you in sin. You are deceiving yourself. I never said a believer has “no sin”. Only Christ has “no sin”. A believer “cannot sin”, they are freed from it. You also quoted Paul in rom 7 who was describing life “under the law”. A believer is not “under the law”. Do you still sin?
I John is for the Jews and their gospel of the kingdom. The world was given the gospel of the grace of God to be preached by ONLY our Apostle Paul - I Corinthians 15:1-4.
This reminds me of the once popular bumper sticker, God is my co-pilot. When I see that I always think that that necessarily means that you have an idiot for a pilot. Why have a pathetic pilot, and the one in the co-pilot seat is the perfect pilot...
I think salvation has 3 stages the momoent we accept the lord jesus as our saviour who shed his blood to cleans grom my sin and died to free me from the power of sin and resurrected to fill me me with his righteousness and ascend ed to heaven to to give me power to overcome the world satan and self during this time my spirit is saved but not my soul my soul salvation is a life long battle and endurance and lastly our body wi be saved after we die and resurrected when this this earthly body replaced by heavenly body. So our salvation will be cnsumated after wecdie and resurrected
Well, I prayed for the lord to give me a new heart and to save me and…. He did, I also believe and trust him… i DEFINITELY HAVE salvation. Idk that it’s necessarily wrong to sadly him to in addition… being kinda weird about that
I’ve gotten like 6 Hoover attempts from my ex husband. The last one was weird as heck! 😭 I’m surprised he tried to Hoover at all because he has a charmin ego too! 😭🤣
So if you endure to the end you have eternal security? And if you don't endure to the end you don't have eternal security? Then how do you know you have eternal security when you haven't endured to the end yet? It's like saying one plus one equals three, but three means two. It's mental gymnastics...
So is thinking you’ve done good enough every day to earn your salvation, or thinking you haven’t. If you could lose your salvation you would. Endurance is not sin free, it’s a life constant daily repentance.
@@ExploringAlabama I agree. That is always the straw man argument that the people with your doctrine counter with. Forget sin and works of the law. A believer must bear fruit and keep the faith in order to complete the race. Hebrews 6 talks about falling away. Bearing briers and thorns. People with your doctrine always change the wording to 'lose your salvation'. That allows for a reinterpretation of the meaning. Falling away isn't about righteousness, it's about unbelief. Check out Hebrews 4. If you don't keep the faith, you fall away, and you fall into unbelief. Sin is of course no laughing matter. Scripture somewhere talks about 'the deceitfulness of sin'. Spiritual principles apply. Darkness darkens.
I love how you nailed what "falling away" really means/indicates: not unrighteousness or sin, but unbelief. I can't imagine a person who truly believes falling away without coming back. The question would forever haunt the innermost rooms of their mind.
@@Angie-v4r I don't really get what you mean when you write that you can't imagine. I don't know how to take it.. When you go by what Hebrews 6 says, it states that a person can receive the Holy Spirit, and that it's impossible to bring them again to repentance if they fall away, which of course means that they once had repented. I see two possibilities. Either that person still thinks they're saved, or they conclude that what they believed earlier was a delusion. Scripture does show us that spiritually blind people, like the Pharisees, enjoy proclaiming their eye sight. I've talked to Muslims a lot. They start with 'Islam is the truth' and then bend all of reality to make it fit, and it gets tragically hilarious at times. Have you heard the argument about the Quran being God's word based on the contrived fact that cats won't step on one? Laugh or cry, make your choice. The human mind is capable of anything. I've thought a lot about this topic. It's hard to know exactly when a person has fallen away. I know one guy that told me that he, as he puts it, 'walked away' and then came back, and he seems perfectly sincere. I don't know though. But some verses I think are important to add are the one about 'a bruised reed he will not break and a faintly flickering flame he will not quench', the ones about God being longsuffering, the flood in the days of Noah, and the judgment on Sodom. I don't think falling away is an easy process . What do you think?
I think what people should know is that the version of "eternal security" Voddie is talking about is definitely Biblical but a little incomplete. I wish he would have mentioned how one can receive the Holy Spirit and NOT be saved as described by "eternal security" as presented here. Proof: remember the folks who actually cast the devils out in Jesus HAD the ability to do so because of the Holy Spirit yet Jesus still said He never knew them! Also, Hebrews 6:1-8 which illustrates the unforgivable blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I pray this helps someone! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@CCD_106 You CAN'T receive the Holy Spirit and not be saved. The very fact that you have the Holy Spirit means you belong to God. Romans Ch. 8 states if you do not have the Holy Spirit you are not His. So how can you not be His and have the Holy Spirit. That's absurd. The reality of using God's name to do things like cast out devils is God honoring the use of His name according to His word. Not that the person using His name is known by Him or filled with His Spirit. They may not be. He honors His name not them. So they may see a move of God because they used His name which He will honor as He wills not because they are somehow holy or filled with His Spirit. So please don't be deceived. You are filled with the Hole Spirit only when you have true saving faith in Christ and His shed blood for your sin. You can't have the Holy Spirit any other way. Be encouraged
Concerning the Holy Spirit - Under the gospel of the kingdom, believers were given an external dwelling of the Holy Spirit. Under the gospel of the grace of God, we have an internal dwelling of the Holy Spirit. Gospel of the kingdom I Peter 4:14 - If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. Gospel of the grace of God Romans 8:9 - But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Confusion arises because of the combining of the gospel of the kingdom with the gospel of the grace of God.
@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou Hebrews 6:4, how does one become a "partaker of The Holy Ghost" and "taste the heavenly gift" externally? Hebrews 6:6, if they didn't have the Holy Ghost and therefore not "saved," what did they "fall away" from? And why can they not be "renewed AGAIN unto repentance" (a.k.a. saved)? Hmmm, by the comments here, the position seems to be, "they were not saved or received the Holy Ghost and now it is impossible for them to be saved or given The Holy Ghost," ooookay....
@@CCD_106 You read the verse that said that under the gospel of the kingdom for the Jews that the Holy Spirit "rested upon" those who believed. Many church goers do not understand the word of truth "rightly divided." Most of the people that sit in church pews are oblivious to the fact of the two gospels. I was until I found the "gospel truth." Preachers know the word of truth "rightly divided" but will not preach the truth. I asked one preacher the question - why don't you just preach the gospel of the grace of God and not combine it with the gospel of the kingdom? He replied that his congregants couldn't handle the truth. He also went on to say that they were just using the church building for their Sunday Morning Social Club. This preacher had been in prison and didn't have any fear of anyone. I believe that is why he actually “somewhat" told me the truth.” I have been trying to help my mother understand that her water baptism has nothing to do with salvation. I asked my mother's preacher to please tell her that her water baptism had nothing to do with her salvation. He declined to do so. He then told me that he didn't believe that he would go to heaven. I asked him to debate me. He turned me down and said that the debate would not work because of Hermeneutics and Exegesis. Most church goers do not know that the book of Hebrews was written for - the Hebrews (Jews). Sadly, people are confused by false teachers that combine the gospel of the kingdom with the gospel of the grace of God and then preach false gospels and false plans of salvation. Jesus called the scribes and Pharisees hypocrites because they took money from widows in exchange for praying for their dead husbands. The Catholic Church got rich doing the same thing. However, nobody calls them out. Matthew 23:14 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. False preachers cover for other false preachers. They just have different sheep that they shear.
Vodie, The problem is not ‘Once Saved Always Saved’. THE PROBLEM IS THE HEART THAT NEVER WAS SAVED! It’s Not Once ‘Prayed-a-Prayer’ always saved! It’s Not Once ‘Walked-an-Aisle’ always saved! It’s not even once ‘Dunked’ always saved! Its ONCE ‘GENUINELY’ SAVED ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GENUINELY SAVED! And that’s why in the Parable Of The Soils, Only One Was A Genuine Salvation Example. And you also know it’s Revelation 3:20 where Jesus says ‘IF’ you will open the door ‘HE WILL COME IN TO HIM’. You do more damage when you play the role of ‘Did God Really Say’… ‘He’d Come In To You???’ Think about it and CLARIFY THE MESSAGE.
Revelation 3:20 is not referring to salvation. This is referring to allowing Christ in to believers and fellowship with them. A book by pastor Richard Fulton ‘Knowing I’m saved’ has helped me tremendously
If I can be honest. Every time I hear Audy speak with scripture I see how much I have fallen. And I can’t get nothing right. I don’t mean this in a victim mentality.
I think I read about Yeshua knocking on the door of your heart to answer that knock.. Assurance vs being sure: it doesnt depend on whether or not you are sure about it. The sin unto death is an unbeliever that keeps resisting the Holy spirit like the farisees who said by the power of satan He (meaning jesus) casts out demons. They knew he was the son of God but they deliberately rejected that.
Seminary can lead people to the cemetery. God‘s word speaks for itself. That’s why we must take things in context. 10 verses before 10 verses after and maybe even the chapter before and the chapter after. We need his holy Spirit to bring us to that understanding. There’s a lot of ifs in the New Testament. Conditional upon enduring to the end. Jesus states he who overcomes? What is it that we must overcome? Is sin allowed in his kingdom? The answer is no. By God‘s grace and by his spirit and his blood, can we be cleansed and have the power to overcome sin. Can your name be blotted out of the book of life?
Yes God gave man dominion but that didn't mean he can't do what he wants with or without man. He changed Paul with out using man. God changed the one king had him in the woods eating grass, did not use anyone.
Regarding the last portion, could someone clarify about the sin unto death. Is Voddie saying that rejecting God is equivalent to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? I remember one of RC’s teachings and he said blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to satan, as did the pharisees in Matthew 12 for example. I look forward to your answers, blessings.
John 1:1-3 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14 (KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
John 20:27-28 (KJV) Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
You have eternal life as long as you believe twisting the verse to mean what you want to fit your theology isn’t a good look. Eternal life isn’t an end statement to mean now and forever on this earth. If so then as a sinner before repentance that would mean you have death for eternity because hell is eternal death. So no one is really saved because we are all sinners if that’s the thought concept. You have to split the hair both ways it’s not one or the other. It means at human death if you are a believer you have eternal life waiting for you. If you are a sinner you have eternal death if you die a sinner
i get now, hell is full of people who asked Jesus in their heart...and judas in heaven then, that easy. 😂😂😂 bologna!!!hell is gonna be full of preachers like this one here!!!
Pop a little Child born "i" my "AM" have prepared the Way! How nor why? What is able to so love YOU? Pop even a little Child called Thee pop! Ye know? OLIVER only have 1 the Singularity the I AM FATHER!
I love listening to this brother but someone needs to introduce him to the work of Dr Michael Heiser because he seems to be conflating election with salvation. All of Israel was elect (the elect are who God reveals himself too) in the OT but I doubt we’ll be running into any Baal worshippers in heaven
@1mgblues540 Voddie Baucham as one of the best preachers of our time should be introduced to Michael Heiser. With all due respect to Heiser he is not in the same league as Voddie. Now. For the life of me I don't understand how could you come up with something like Voddie is mixing those two things together. He is one of the most clear preachers on this particular issue. Listen to his sermon again. This time put smartphone aside, no distractions and listen. You won't find it there.
I'm not very smart, so maybe I'm not thinking it through, but if the sin leading to death is one that separates a man from God, doesn't that insinuate that they were together with God and now being separated? And doesn't John speak of brothers, meaning believers? How could he be speaking of brothers who lose their salvation just after he spoke of eternal life?
Not only that, but everyone rejects the spirit of God every moment they do not repent. And I think it would be appropriate to pray for someone who rejects Christ today, who is still alive, that God would save them.
Boy howdy, that's some good preaching! I've played it over abt 3 times now, just to make sure I heard it good.
If this is from a man who studied the word imagine what it must have been like to hear the Word himself.
Christ brought me back home. I served 25 years in the military and went astray. 7 months ago He came back for me and changed my desires and delivered me from my sins. I boldly proclaim the gospel!!!!
Thank you for your service and welcome home! We praise God for your salvation!
Thank you for your long service brother. He came back for me too. I am grateful. God bless.
Greetings in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord.
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16 Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:15-18, ESV)
I served with many who had the same story. Especially overseas where they could cheat on spouses or party all the time. I led a Bible study in the barracks after Christ called me. Not bragging, but the point is that once you stray with those who are not saved, it’s almost embarrassing to share Christ with them because you look like a lying fool. To God be the glory for your salvation.
@@ExploringAlabama the Apostle Paul went through the same thing. He went from persecuting the church and wasting it to proclaiming “I have a desire to depart and be with Christ which is far better.” Christ changes our desires, so much so, we hate the very spot of sin. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I came back almost 6 yrs ago I was miserable running from Him. And one person that had help me understand and live in repentance is this guy right here. He will never know what an impact he has had in my journey back and to stay on track. May God bless Voddie for his dedication and love for Him and us!! I love you Voddie and thank you
Praise God!! Thanks for sharing this blessing!
❤❤❤😇🙌🙌🙌
I quote: “When we pray we are bringing ourselves in line with the will of God, not God in line with our will.” All for His honor, all to His glory. I love that. I pray for that.
Haven't listened to a Voddie Baucham sermon in quite a while. This was so good!
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Praise God, for those who preach the truth…God’s word…the Holy Bible. Not men’s diluted watered-down truth!
Keep on preaching….thank you!
I praise and thank God for you, Pastor Baucham. It’s health to my bones to hear your messages that I know come from wrestling for hours through the Scriptures. Everything you say is weighty and profound. God bless you for all the time you spend praying and studying; we glean the benefits, for sure.
Praise the Lord, thank you for these great videos about the Gospel.

Even if a baby step every day, I strive to be a better version of myself tomorrow than I am today.
And the only way to do this is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
“ a better version of myself?” really dude…. how bout we ditch all versions of SELF and PUT ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST…..dig? ya better!
@@dannytaylor-ed3hs Because life is a test and we all are at different places in our Journey which the Lord guides us.
In the process you become a better version of yourself through Jesus Christ and to always give him the praise and honor his name
I thank God for hearing your teaching. I thank God for you being obedient to his wil .
God bless you for that. Keep sharing for all to hear
Voddie, i am in the midst of teaching to to our congregation and when i tell you.......man have you helped me as a pastor.....thank you!
I’d heard all these things my entire life in church! And they never made sense to me! I’ve asked so many Christian elders in my family these questions and never heard an answer that made sense. So what Voddie is saying does make sense and it’s actually comforting! Because it does make sense! It all fits! And scripture interprets scripture. That’s also how it makes so much more sense! It answers so many of my questions. Like all those times I prayed asking Jesus to come into my heart as a kid, a teenager, an adult… why nothing at all happened! My brother, my son and so many of us have discussed this and I never really knew what to tell them. Thank you Voddie Baucham for explaining this! These are deadly lies in the church that need to have a spotlight shown on them
Lord Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life no one comes to the Father except through Him John 14 6
Absolutely great message
I am so very grateful for Pastor Baucham's clear explanation of the difference between "Once saved always saved" and the perseverance of the Saints or endurance of the elect. I've been searching for a better way of sharing this doctrine. After growing up and remaining with Arminianist assemblies for several decades, I finally studied soteriology more precisely. It's amazing how the truth makes all true doctrine more lucid, interlocking all of the bible's teaching together as a complete picture. When I heard the term "Calvanism" treated as if it were some word of cursing, I prayed and studied until the verasity of reformed theology illumined my understanding of God's eternal plan with Him being sovereign over everything, including salvation. His work, along with His word is certain, never failing and eternal. So, l if I am indeed among the elect of God, I have great assurance! Understanding GRACE, I know I can never be good enough or righteous enough on my own. But having the righteousness of Christ imputed to me, I know it can never be taken away. No one and nothing can snatch me out of the Father's hand. So, the issue becomes, am I TRULY in Christ, regenerated, born of the Spirit, OR NOT? John's 1st epistle offers a means to "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-unless, of course, you fail the test?" 2 Cor. 13:5
Yes!! Explained better than I could in my own head. I struggled with assurance of my salvation for decades! Sometimes I still do, when life is difficult and I don't handle things well. Thank you for sharing this 🙏✝️🕊️
I have struggled with this all my life.. His preaching has blessed me.
Dear brothers in christ, i need prayer. For assurance and for sins commited.bless you
1JOHN 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and Just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness.
Hebrews 4:15-16 NKJV
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
I can write a book on the sins I have commited and were a great burden on my mind. I knew scripture...I knew the Lord, but was ashamed and conscious of the kind of person I was. I talked to my parish priest about confession but guilt and maybe pride kept me away for months. The burden became greater and after service the priest and I talked and I broke down in tears and had my confession. Brother, I will tell you that fear went away and I felt a great weight off my heart and mind. It is us who keep ourselves and the devils darts of accusation from our God's grace and His immeasurable love for us. We...you, are the lost sheep, and the Lord is always looking for us. We are sometimes unsure and confused and thus keep running away, when we should be running towards His voice. When you hear His voice...run to Him. You are a spiritual son and He is your Father who will never forsake you. We must confess to Him and He is faithful to forgive us. God bless you.
hey terry, its danny…. dido, oh where can i see our brother jim earp play his music around San Diego these days, at least I hope hes still with us, in the flesh, anyway FREE PRAYER is the best deal goin !!!! You were( and therefore still are)an annointed worship leader….. yeah and Amen bro….. remember those sketchy Horizon soundchecks?…..and those blessed NORTH PARK THEATRE sessions? yeah i digress- by faith
anyway rejoice rejoice/ We have no coice….BUT TO CARRY ON.
If you confess your sins to Him He is faithful to forgive them all but you must confess them. May God bless your walk stay strong and remember we all stumble and fall but He is faithfull and just to forgive us!😊🙏🏻
This is so convicting. Ive stumbled. Thank you Jesus this message.
bless you the sermon i was seeking all day.
24:09 Amen Amen Amen! I have had aha moments but I spent most of my life not walking. This is 🔥! PS. The thumbnail graphic is Amazing! 😍
Whew !!! Wow ! That was powerful and humbling ! Lord please bring me in line with YOUR will !!
This really helped me. I was in the prosperity/nar movement for a long time.
I was LDS for years, and they believe Jesus is their savior and the son of God, not what you claimed. They have their own issues like their false doctrine, the Book of Mormon, from their false prophet, Joseph Smith. So we don't need to spread fallacies because their own big issue is the truth, and we don't want to look bad by spreading lies.
The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me a lot lately, and I finally listened and left Norse Heathenism. I'm so thankful and filled with happiness. I never felt like this as a child in church and not with the LDS church. I love your sermons. Thank you so much. 😊
God bless. The LDS, while seemingly harmless, lead a lot of people down the wrong path. And it’s amazing to see that you’ve returned to Christ! Reminds me of the parable of the lost sheep.
Actually everything he said is official Mormon doctrine about Jesus being spirit brothers with Satan etc. This can easily be verified from Mormon sources
@selormlogoh1378 not once did I read that in the Book of Mormon. They read both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. It's not in those. What is your source for this?
@@selormlogoh1378 are you going to back up and provide sources? I can provide sources that prove what you're claiming as false. Remember, we are not to lie, even with being mistaken by believing what you hear from others and spreading that lie. Like I said before, they have the issue of following a false prophet and false doctrine. They believe Jesus is the Savior and Son God. They believe he one of 3 parts of God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. I was in that church for about 6 years and actually participated. 3 hour Sundays every Sunday, plus extra stuff when it happened.
@@selormlogoh1378the name they use is Lucifer, not satan
My Brother! Next time you come to the Northwest, I would be honored to provide for your acomadation and meals. Your doctrine of salvation is true.
The thing I love about Voddie Baucham is that he didn’t grow up in all of the falsehoods and traditions many of us did. This makes his approach to the text different from many of ours because he is a blank slate. Many of us have pre-suppositions and they keep us from the truth. I pray to God that I become of a student of the text in the way that he is.
"Born in Los Angeles California in 1969, Voddie was raised by his single, teen-aged mother after his father went off to pursue a career in professional football. Voddie was not raised in a Christian home. In fact, his mother was a practicing Buddhist"
YES LORD! AMEN HALLELUJAH 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Amen Pastor Voddie
I hope you visit South Africa 🇿🇦
God Bless❤
That'll be amazing. 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Heard him speak at a church in Randburg a few years back
Amen! Majority of the churches that use emotional manipulation techniques (followers of Billy Graham who study Charles Finney more than the Bible) to get people to "make a decision for Jesus and let Him into your heart" don't even have people walk down the isle anymore. They'll tell you to "make that decision for Jesus and let him into your heart" right now where you stand, while making that decision for you with their infamous "repeat after me: Dear Jesus, I know I'm a sinner..." prayer that apparently "guarantees your eternal life regardless of how you live". Imagine if that's how cardiologists or cardiac surgeons got their degrees: "repeat after me: I believe I'm a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon..." now you're a professional go and operate on people. That would be disastrous! Just like these "repeat after me" prayers.
Thanks Pastor for this edifying video. This whole divide of OSAS vs Works is so divisive and discouraging. Thanks for having ears to hear the scriptures. God Bless
How do we know when someone has committed the sin unto death!? We can still relentlessly pray and beseech God to bring them to genuine faith and repentance in Christ Jesus!
WONDERFUL SERMON
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
He ain’t wrong…I used to believe I had it made by walking that isle and prayed that silly prayer.
Until God Grabbed ahold me, sent me to the hospital bed…led me to RC Sproal, John MacArthur Steve Lawson and Voddie Baucham. I do worry about Matthew 7, it is the scariest chapter in the Bible
Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Great teaching
We are in the doctrine of demons with the once saved always saved
thank you
I pray in Jesus name period. Whatever we ask for IF it be his will he will grant us. Who knows the mind of God or what His will always is. Jesus will judge us- but our intentions.
So good. So refreshing.
Amen amen
Romans 4:5 (KJV) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
24:30 Yep. Needed to hear this today.
Needed this
Thank you for attending
I was told to find a new church... i had no problems, but apparently i could not grow anymore if i stayed. If there was another reason, i was uninformed.
In the Bible, Peter said to the man at the beautiful gate," in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk". Also Jesus himself said if you will ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:13-14 Maybe I'm misunderstanding the brother message in the manor in which we pray.
Students keep watch for thee!
Once saved, always saved is true IF YOU actually have salvation 😊
Life come here in front and remind! LORD without thy shared?
Shared "i" AM in the beginning there was a Word and the Word was with God of life of the Living!
Pop love you!
Amen 🙏
Jesus Christ is my king Lord and savior 😊
If you see a brother living in sin that leads to death that means the person is already a believer in Christ. If not the scripture wouldn't use a brother ,so the person isn't an unbeliever.
?
Remember who knows? The Hearts and Minds? Including casting my righteous judgment! Keep watch!,
Whenever I get asked about some doctrine or where I stand on a particular biblical subject that I am not sure about I always say, "Give me an hour to watch a Vodie Video and then I'll let ya know."
Voddie, we need you to do an audio Bible. Why not the English Revised Version from 1885? I'd pay to have that on an app that I could use. The translation is in the public domain. Do it! :)
Beloved if ye can't recognize "MY HEAVEN"!
Good and evil come here in front and remind!,indeed
“Sin unto death” means sinning until you die.
A believer is freed from sin.
A believer cannot sin.
Those who still sin, hath not seen him, neither known him.
This is the Word of God.
Those that say they have no sin lie & the truth is not in them.
For sin lives in our members. For the things I wish not to do, that I do, but the things I wish to do that I do not.
For when we sin we have an advocate with the father. Jesus, who is our propritation, He interceseeds for us.
This is also the word of God.
@@newhorizon1355
You twisted those verses to keep you in sin.
You are deceiving yourself.
I never said a believer has “no sin”.
Only Christ has “no sin”.
A believer “cannot sin”, they are freed from it.
You also quoted Paul in rom 7 who was describing life “under the law”.
A believer is not “under the law”.
Do you still sin?
I John is for the Jews and their gospel of the kingdom. The world was given the gospel of the grace of God to be preached by ONLY our Apostle Paul - I Corinthians 15:1-4.
This reminds me of the once popular bumper sticker, God is my co-pilot. When I see that I always think that that necessarily means that you have an idiot for a pilot. Why have a pathetic pilot, and the one in the co-pilot seat is the perfect pilot...
I think salvation has 3 stages the momoent we accept the lord jesus as our saviour who shed his blood to cleans grom my sin and died to free me from the power of sin and resurrected to fill me me with his righteousness and ascend ed to heaven to to give me power to overcome the world satan and self during this time my spirit is saved but not my soul my soul salvation is a life long battle and endurance and lastly our body wi be saved after we die and resurrected when this this earthly body replaced by heavenly body. So our salvation will be cnsumated after wecdie and resurrected
Well, I prayed for the lord to give me a new heart and to save me and…. He did, I also believe and trust him… i DEFINITELY HAVE salvation. Idk that it’s necessarily wrong to sadly him to in addition… being kinda weird about that
Many students remind one another? Some will say, remind What?
Pop come here and take a Seat with Me. Thy shared "i" AM come forth!
I’ve gotten like 6 Hoover attempts from my ex husband. The last one was weird as heck! 😭 I’m surprised he tried to Hoover at all because he has a charmin ego too! 😭🤣
I like Voddie.
Yes, his words are true and unleavened.
Many accusers will say, are ye perfect?
All exist in front of thee! Gratitude and Honor
Please always include Voddies prayer as well, thank you.
So if you endure to the end you have eternal security?
And if you don't endure to the end you don't have eternal security?
Then how do you know you have eternal security when you haven't endured to the end yet?
It's like saying one plus one equals three, but three means two.
It's mental gymnastics...
So is thinking you’ve done good enough every day to earn your salvation, or thinking you haven’t. If you could lose your salvation you would. Endurance is not sin free, it’s a life constant daily repentance.
@@ExploringAlabama I agree. That is always the straw man argument that the people with your doctrine counter with.
Forget sin and works of the law.
A believer must bear fruit and keep the faith in order to complete the race.
Hebrews 6 talks about falling away. Bearing briers and thorns. People with your doctrine always change the wording to 'lose your salvation'. That allows for a reinterpretation of the meaning.
Falling away isn't about righteousness, it's about unbelief. Check out Hebrews 4.
If you don't keep the faith, you fall away, and you fall into unbelief.
Sin is of course no laughing matter. Scripture somewhere talks about 'the deceitfulness of sin'. Spiritual principles apply. Darkness darkens.
I love how you nailed what "falling away" really means/indicates: not unrighteousness or sin, but unbelief. I can't imagine a person who truly believes falling away without coming back. The question would forever haunt the innermost rooms of their mind.
@@Angie-v4r I don't really get what you mean when you write that you can't imagine. I don't know how to take it..
When you go by what Hebrews 6 says, it states that a person can receive the Holy Spirit, and that it's impossible to bring them again to repentance if they fall away, which of course means that they once had repented.
I see two possibilities. Either that person still thinks they're saved, or they conclude that what they believed earlier was a delusion. Scripture does show us that spiritually blind people, like the Pharisees, enjoy proclaiming their eye sight.
I've talked to Muslims a lot. They start with 'Islam is the truth' and then bend all of reality to make it fit, and it gets tragically hilarious at times. Have you heard the argument about the Quran being God's word based on the contrived fact that cats won't step on one? Laugh or cry, make your choice. The human mind is capable of anything.
I've thought a lot about this topic.
It's hard to know exactly when a person has fallen away. I know one guy that told me that he, as he puts it, 'walked away' and then came back, and he seems perfectly sincere. I don't know though.
But some verses I think are important to add are the one about 'a bruised reed he will not break and a faintly flickering flame he will not quench', the ones about God being longsuffering, the flood in the days of Noah, and the judgment on Sodom.
I don't think falling away is an easy process . What do you think?
Romans 4:5 (KJV) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Pop why some will say, why Noone came in front of HIM? But the old woman being awaken slowly!
I think what people should know is that the version of "eternal security" Voddie is talking about is definitely Biblical but a little incomplete. I wish he would have mentioned how one can receive the Holy Spirit and NOT be saved as described by "eternal security" as presented here. Proof: remember the folks who actually cast the devils out in Jesus HAD the ability to do so because of the Holy Spirit yet Jesus still said He never knew them! Also, Hebrews 6:1-8 which illustrates the unforgivable blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I pray this helps someone! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@CCD_106 You CAN'T receive the Holy Spirit and not be saved. The very fact that you have the Holy Spirit means you belong to God. Romans Ch. 8 states if you do not have the Holy Spirit you are not His. So how can you not be His and have the Holy Spirit. That's absurd. The reality of using God's name to do things like cast out devils is God honoring the use of His name according to His word. Not that the person using His name is known by Him or filled with His Spirit. They may not be. He honors His name not them. So they may see a move of God because they used His name which He will honor as He wills not because they are somehow holy or filled with His Spirit. So please don't be deceived. You are filled with the Hole Spirit only when you have true saving faith in Christ and His shed blood for your sin. You can't have the Holy Spirit any other way. Be encouraged
@gyneensanders9722 How does one blaspheme The Holy Spirit then??? Also, you are then calling Hebrews 6 a lie...
Concerning the Holy Spirit - Under the gospel of the kingdom, believers were given an external dwelling of the Holy Spirit. Under the gospel of the grace of God, we have an internal dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Gospel of the kingdom
I Peter 4:14 - If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
Gospel of the grace of God
Romans 8:9 - But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Confusion arises because of the combining of the gospel of the kingdom with the gospel of the grace of God.
@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou Hebrews 6:4, how does one become a "partaker of The Holy Ghost" and "taste the heavenly gift" externally? Hebrews 6:6, if they didn't have the Holy Ghost and therefore not "saved," what did they "fall away" from? And why can they not be "renewed AGAIN unto repentance" (a.k.a. saved)? Hmmm, by the comments here, the position seems to be, "they were not saved or received the Holy Ghost and now it is impossible for them to be saved or given The Holy Ghost," ooookay....
@@CCD_106 You read the verse that said that under the gospel of the kingdom for the Jews that the Holy Spirit "rested upon" those who believed. Many church goers do not understand the word of truth "rightly divided."
Most of the people that sit in church pews are oblivious to the fact of the two gospels. I was until I found the "gospel truth."
Preachers know the word of truth "rightly divided" but will not preach the truth.
I asked one preacher the question - why don't you just preach the gospel of the grace of God and not combine it with the gospel of the kingdom? He replied that his congregants couldn't handle the truth. He also went on to say that they were just using the church building for their Sunday Morning Social Club. This preacher had been in prison and didn't have any fear of anyone. I believe that is why he actually “somewhat" told me the truth.”
I have been trying to help my mother understand that her water baptism has nothing to do with salvation. I asked my mother's preacher to please tell her that her water baptism had nothing to do with her salvation. He declined to do so. He then told me that he didn't believe that he would go to heaven. I asked him to debate me. He turned me down and said that the debate would not work because of Hermeneutics and Exegesis.
Most church goers do not know that the book of Hebrews was written for - the Hebrews (Jews).
Sadly, people are confused by false teachers that combine the gospel of the kingdom with the gospel of the grace of God and then preach false gospels and false plans of salvation.
Jesus called the scribes and Pharisees hypocrites because they took money from widows in exchange for praying for their dead husbands. The Catholic Church got rich doing the same thing. However, nobody calls them out.
Matthew 23:14 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
False preachers cover for other false preachers. They just have different sheep that they shear.
Vodie, The problem is not ‘Once Saved Always Saved’. THE PROBLEM IS THE HEART THAT NEVER WAS SAVED! It’s Not Once ‘Prayed-a-Prayer’ always saved! It’s Not Once ‘Walked-an-Aisle’ always saved! It’s not even once ‘Dunked’ always saved! Its ONCE ‘GENUINELY’ SAVED ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GENUINELY SAVED! And that’s why in the Parable Of The Soils, Only One Was A Genuine Salvation Example. And you also know it’s Revelation 3:20 where Jesus says ‘IF’ you will open the door ‘HE WILL COME IN TO HIM’. You do more damage when you play the role of ‘Did God Really Say’… ‘He’d Come In To You???’ Think about it and CLARIFY THE MESSAGE.
Amen
This is true, also God's timing is not our own. It may take years after salvation before we are truly sanctified in Christ
Revelation 3:20 is not referring to salvation. This is referring to allowing Christ in to believers and fellowship with them. A book by pastor Richard Fulton ‘Knowing I’m saved’ has helped me tremendously
If I can be honest. Every time I hear Audy speak with scripture I see how much I have fallen. And I can’t get nothing right. I don’t mean this in a victim mentality.
What about Romans 10:13?
thanks vodie. "once saved..." truly is a straw-man argument from the pit.
I think I read about Yeshua knocking on the door of your heart to answer that knock.. Assurance vs being sure: it doesnt depend on whether or not you are sure about it. The sin unto death is an unbeliever that keeps resisting the Holy spirit like the farisees who said by the power of satan He (meaning jesus) casts out demons. They knew he was the son of God but they deliberately rejected that.
Does anyone know where this church is? Is this the Texas church or the one in Africa? Or is it just another sermon channel using Voddies sermons?
We are in Houston Texas. Voddie was one of the founding pastors of the church. We sent him to Zambia as a missionary back in 2015.
I'm in going hell 😢
Romans 4:5 (KJV) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Seminary can lead people to the cemetery. God‘s word speaks for itself. That’s why we must take things in context. 10 verses before 10 verses after and maybe even the chapter before and the chapter after. We need his holy Spirit to bring us to that understanding. There’s a lot of ifs in the New Testament. Conditional upon enduring to the end. Jesus states he who overcomes? What is it that we must overcome? Is sin allowed in his kingdom? The answer is no. By God‘s grace and by his spirit and his blood, can we be cleansed and have the power to overcome sin. Can your name be blotted out of the book of life?
If you could lose your salvation you would.
My 2 hands punching one another and have the oddicity to look for another life out there?
I trouble over he spits out the lukewarm Christians
Yes God gave man dominion but that didn't mean he can't do what he wants with or without man. He changed Paul with out using man. God changed the one king had him in the woods eating grass, did not use anyone.
Regarding I John 5:16. The sin unto death is not a brother?
Regarding the last portion, could someone clarify about the sin unto death. Is Voddie saying that rejecting God is equivalent to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? I remember one of RC’s teachings and he said blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to satan, as did the pharisees in Matthew 12 for example. I look forward to your answers, blessings.
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is rejecting Jesus’ claims He and His Father are one.

Scriptures don’t say you have to believe Messiah is God in the flesh to be saved
Wow
John 1:1-3 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14 (KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Colossians 2:9 (KJV) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
John 20:27-28 (KJV) Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

What about the atheists who reject the Lord and the gospel, and then become believers? Are you saying they're not really saved?
If they’re believers then yes they are saved
You have eternal life as long as you believe twisting the verse to mean what you want to fit your theology isn’t a good look.
Eternal life isn’t an end statement to mean now and forever on this earth.
If so then as a sinner before repentance that would mean you have death for eternity because hell is eternal death.
So no one is really saved because we are all sinners if that’s the thought concept. You have to split the hair both ways it’s not one or the other.
It means at human death if you are a believer you have eternal life waiting for you. If you are a sinner you have eternal death if you die a sinner
What about Ephesians 2:6 and John 5:24?

I love listening to this brother but someone needs to introduce him to the work of Dr Michael Heiser because he seems to be conflating election with salvation. All of Israel was elect (the elect are who God reveals himself too) in the OT but I doubt we’ll be running into any Baal worshippers in heaven
@1mgblues540
Voddie Baucham as one of the best preachers of our time should be introduced to Michael Heiser. With all due respect to Heiser he is not in the same league as Voddie.
Now. For the life of me I don't understand how could you come up with something like Voddie is mixing those two things together. He is one of the most clear preachers on this particular issue. Listen to his sermon again. This time put smartphone aside, no distractions and listen. You won't find it there.
I'm not very smart, so maybe I'm not thinking it through, but if the sin leading to death is one that separates a man from God, doesn't that insinuate that they were together with God and now being separated? And doesn't John speak of brothers, meaning believers? How could he be speaking of brothers who lose their salvation just after he spoke of eternal life?
Not only that, but everyone rejects the spirit of God every moment they do not repent. And I think it would be appropriate to pray for someone who rejects Christ today, who is still alive, that God would save them.
Romans 4:5 (KJV) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Well, who are the apostates?
The sinner's prayer crowd is most definitely arrogant and very self righteous its downright sickening!!
