I am so glad I found this pastor. Extraordinary doesn’t justly describe him. In my 50+ years as a born again Christian I have never heard someone this crystal clear and so straight down the line Biblical as this pastor. So many of my questions that I have had over the years have never been answered without my spirit being grieved until I heard Pastor Cucuzza. Extraordinarily anointed.
Whenever I think of the undeserved free grace that is shown to me, my heart is filled with thankfulness and motivates me to do good works out of love for Christ, not to get to heaven...
I thank GOD for this pastor!!!!!! I’m a new believer and was totally lead astray by the Calvinistic teachings and didn’t know it.!! Now because of this pastor I can truly help spread the “Good News” to all I encounter!!! PRAISE GOD FOR THIS PASTOR AND GODS WORD!! In JESUS name!! 😍✝️🙌
I'm listening to this on 8-1-2024. And how openly evil and sinful the world has become in just 8 years. What is good is now bad, what is bad is looked upon as good. "Draw near to God,and he will draw near to you. " James4: 8
This message is so crystal clear and very easy to understand and follow. Yet... there are so many people in the comments that are so rebellious and stubborn, set in their ways. Or their minds have been corrupted by False gospels and False doctrine. Re-watch this video as many times as necessary to get it! Your self-righteous works WILL NOT SAVE YOU! Nor your so-called obedience works.
The reason people get the Gospel wrong is because they build a gospel on doctrine. You're supposed to build doctrine on the Gospel. They do it backwards. They make doctrine the foundation and build on that instead of making the Gospel the foundation and building on that. There is no other foundation than Jesus Christ Himself. And, actually, the Bible says the foundation has already been laid. You can't lay another.
29:00 - How does this fit with Jesus saying, "If your right hand/eye causes you to sin, cut it off/out, for it is better to enter heaven with one hand/eye than to go to hell with both." There's so, so many verses that put an "if" on free grace. It's either confusing or it's parallel truths. Surely?
That passage is about Jesus rebuking the Pharisees for being hypocritical about adulatory. They were condemning people over the physical act of adulatory but at the same time committing it themselves with lustful thoughts. It would be nearly impossible for anyone to not have an occasional lustful thought about someone else. Therefore it's not possible to keep the whole law and make it to heaven. The only way is to trust that Jesus Christ has paid for all your sins. He was trying to get them to change their thinking about where they should be putting their trust, in Jesus Christ instead of themselves.
@@jjsmoley, exactly! Romans tells us that only those who continue in righteousness will be saved APART from trusting Christ as their savior, which will be no one. People confuse standards and how judgment will be meted on judgment day with who actually will qualify. Without faith in Christ, you can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be you or me.
@@claudehauper7629 Romans tells us we receive Christ's imputed (transferred) righteousness when we trust Christ alone for our salvation. Only Christ died on the cross to pay the sin debt of the world and rose from the dead proving He is God. Romans 6:23 - The wages of sin is death (separation from God forever); but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Salvation is a free gift. You should be resting in your salvation as eternal security is of God and not of your filthy rags of works. You have to be perfect to get to heaven and Christ is the only one worthy to be our sinless perfect substitute! You are teaching perseverance of the saints which is works based and no where to be found in Romans or anywhere in the Bible. The truly saved are clothed in the perfect righteousness of Christ. It is not something you earn with works (Romans 3, 4, 5, 6 KJV).
wait, so if I don't have perfect faith at all times I'll be left behind? How does anyone have perfect faith every single minute? Each of us can so easily get caught up in 'works' mentality. So far I have been in agreement with this mans teaching but this one doesn't sit right.
Dr. Cucuzza and our church believe that Salvation is a one time transaction. It happens the moment you believe. John 5:24 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. I'm not sure what Dr. Cucuzza said in the message that made you think you need to have perfect faith every minute to be saved but that is not what we believe.
If Jesus is coming for us at the last trumpet and there are 7 deals then 7 trumpets and then 7 bowls of wrath, in that order, will He come for us at the 7th trumpet which is the last trumpet?
Prior to a child reaching an age of understanding they will end up in heaven. The point at which a child understands is different for each child. David said that he would go to his child after he died. This is referring to seeing him in heaven. 2 Samuel 12:23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
I believe their will be alot of people left behind , but I also think their will be a small.few left behind to.help.people and teach the bible during the 7 year period..god shall whip the tears away , 🙏🙏🙏
That is false teaching! The God of the universe does not fail at anything! There will be 144,000 Jewish saints spreading the gospel and God's heavenly host will also be spreading the gospel. God has it covered! You diminish His perfection and love. No one truly born again by faith alone in Christ alone will be left behind!
This pastor says: The mass majority of his church will be taken in rapture (but some will be left behind) because they did not put their faith in Christ!!!! My question is : So what are they doing in the church If they don’t have faith in Christ???? Are you telling me that they are not Christians but they decided to go to church for fun??
Searching For Truth, there are unbelievers in churches. For example, when you have a saved spouse and an unbelieving spouse who go to the same church. Or when you have a saved person who brings unsaved guests to church. You'd be surprised how many unbelievers want to know the truth. Many unbelievers go to church to learn about the faith before they commit their faith to Jesus. Faith comes by hearing the word, so going to church is a great thing for an unbeliever.
The church means the body of believers all around the world wherever they are. Christ is the head of the church and true believers are the body. It does not mean a church building. It is we who are born again by faith alone in Christ alone.
Can somebody please explain to me what he means? Lordship salvation, from what he’s describing it sounds legit I understand that is staying committed to God in our day-to-day lives. I don’t necessarily see that as being dependent on works. Unless I am misunderstanding something?
Lordship salvation is the false idea that you must not only trust Christ as your savior but also do good works in order to make it to heaven. The Biblical truth, however, is that your salvation is achieved by trusting in Jesus Christ, that he paid for your sins, and that once your trust in Him that is enough for you to make it to heaven. Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
@@jjsmoley Trusting in God is definitely important; however having a personal...'one to one relationship' (by picking up our cross DAILY to follow as Jesus commands in Matt 16:24; Matt 10:38; Luke 14:27...etc)...is the actual 🔑 key...to be Holy Spirit FILLED and spiritually alive like the wise virgins (25:9); we are to walk with the Lord DAILY in our lives...in the LOVE of Jesus Christ! God's HOLY SPIRIT 🔥 FIRE BURNS IN HEARTS THAT ARE SO IN LOVE...SOLD OUT FOR JESUS...such love filled hearts live selflessly...hence they become effective vessels reaching out to others as God is able to use them for His Glory! God uses those who have clean hands and pure hearts...(Ps 24:4)...God bless!
@@uncheckers Trusting in Christ for salvation is separate from dedicating your life to Christ and walking with him daily. You first have to be cleansed of all your sin by accepting the payment that Christ made for your sins. Once you've done that then you can have a daily walk with Christ.
Do we have to take Communion to be Saved because in John Jesus says if you don’t drink my blood and eat my flesh you have no life in yourselves If you drink my blood and eat my flesh I will give you eternal life but Jesus also says in John Verily Verily I say unto you whosoever Believeth on Me hath Everlasting Life I am confused Are we Saved by certain things we do or by Grace Alone through Faith Alone in Christ Alone? Thank you for All your Help and Time God Bless you
No, Communion is not a requirement for salvation. If you read all of John 6 you will see that the requirement for salvation is believing on Jesus as Jesus said in verse 47. John 6:47 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Jesus was using the representation of his body and blood in the form of bread and wine. The bread and wine eaten at communion is nothing more than bread and wine. Taking communion is a way for a Christian to identify with and reverence Christ.
@@jjsmoley thank you for replying May The All Powerful Lord God Jesus Christ Bless you Richly in Every Way Always!!! I have another question I Believe Jesus Is The Son of God and God The Son of The Holy Trinity I Believe Jesus Shed His Blood and Died in my place to Pay for All my Sins He was Buried Then 3 Days Later Jesus Arose From The Dead!!! But I am struggling with some Sins that I honestly don’t know how to quit I hate my Sins But I genuinely don’t know how to stop them Am I still Saved because because of my faith in Jesus or am I Not Saved because of my Sins? Am I born again because of my faith in Jesus or is there something more I need to do? Thank you for All your Help and Time
@@monicadhaliwal1791 Check out Pastor Dave's series on Galatians. It should help clarify a lot of questions for you. ua-cam.com/play/PL2B4ebzvFXJDFdxhjFv3Kk9vpzc83qrxe.html But to answer you direct question. If you've accepted Jesus Christ's payment for your sins then you are saved no matter what you do. Notice this verse below says that you can "know" you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13 - These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. As far as how to remove the sin from your life. You need to replace the sins with doing God's work. Notice the verse below says to start by walking in the spirit first, then you won't fulfil the lust of the flesh. Not the other way around. Removing the sin from your life won't save you, only believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins will save you. Galatians 5:16 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
No it's not OK with God to sin. But if you have trusted Christ as your Savior and you do sin you will still end up in heaven. However, your life on earth may not be so pleasant as God may chasten you and try to get you back on the right path. You will also miss out on God's blessing both on earth and in heaven. Read the first part of Hebrews 12.
Sin has consequences. Severe. To you and those affected by your actions. This is why sinning is dangerous. If you want to try and keep sinning after you've confessed the atoning work of Christ, try it. See what happens. God might show you that you're going to meet Him prematurely if you're on that path. I find this question interesting because if you truly are saved, you have something inside of you called holy spirit. The world would call it a conscience, but it does convict you of your sin. If you love doing drugs and sleeping with women and feel no remorse about it, it's still possible that you are saved but your conscience has been seared like those in corinthians. But you know what Paul did, right? He turned them over to Satan for their early destruction. So keep behaving like you are behaving if you want to meet Jesus a lot sooner. That's the risk you're taking.
You're not required to stop sinning (an impossibility anyhow) for salvation. That would be works righteousness. Repentance is required but it is a change of mind about the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ and realisation that we rely alone on what He has done to be made right with God and nothing we do or could ever do. Repent 'of your sins' is nowhere found in the Scriptures as far as receipt of salvation is concerned. After taking the free gift of eternal life and being made sure of Heaven, we should turn from sin as the Lord empowers and we grow in Grace conforming to Christlikeness. This is not a matter of salvation but of 'reasonable service' for the already saved. Once you have it, you can never lose it. Much blessing.
Darenegadegeneral that’s impossible that’s why it’s not based on works but being saved and confessing that Jesus is lord we saved by grace! And through faith
@@uncheckers A born again believer can choose to live in sin and stayed saved, it's not a "license" to sin. You could say sin, repent, sin, repent is a "license" to sin, do whatever you want and say sorry and it's gone. We have free will and will continue to sin until we die. The question is: Are you trusting that Jesus died for all those sins and paid the price, or are you rejecting that shed blood and trying to save yourself.
The one and only Gospel of Jesus Christ (the Good News of salvation): We're all sinners and therefore guilty before God. The wages of sin is death; that means hell. Salvation is a FREE GIFT! The Lord Jesus Christ came down from heaven and paid our sin debt in full on the cross with His death in our place there, His burial, and His resurrection from the dead proving He is God. All you can do, as a lost sinner, is accept God's FREE GIFT of eternal life by faith (alone; no effort or works of your own) in Christ (alone) and you will be saved. Christ's payment is good on your behalf, so you can't go to hell ever. You're eternally secure in Christ! How About Some GOOD NEWS for a Change? ua-cam.com/video/M-aBf-LVkxU/v-deo.html
That is nowhere in the bible…! After the rapture of the chuch, there will be the judgement, there is no „left behind“ scenario anywhere in the bible! You are preaching the false doctrines of J.Darby, not what the bible says…! There is only one „second coming „ of Christ…!
" If God exists and He promises to reward those who persevere in doing good and to punish those who live selfishly in sin, it is foolish to live for this short life only. Since God will impartially judge each person according to his deeds, persevere in doing good in light of eternity!"
Perseverance of the saints is Lordship damnation! Your works are filthy rags!!! The one and only Gospel of Jesus Christ (the Good News of salvation): We're all sinners and therefore guilty before God. The wages of sin is death; that means hell. Salvation is a FREE GIFT!

Unbelievers get judged on their works at the great white throne judgement. Believers will go before the judgement seat of Christ for rewards. How we live does matter but for sure our salvation is based on the finished work of Christ and not of ourselves.
Put your faith in Christ and you will be raptured!! ( What about faith without works is dead) This really is a false teaching . Are you telling me that I can live in sin all my life and bring shame to Jesus name and then claim that I am a believer in Christ. So why does the Bible say repent?? I don't need to repent because Jesus saved me the day i accepted his death according to this teaching, so does that mean repentance is for the non believers only!? If that is truth which i disagree completely then lets go party and do what ever we want because what we do will not affect our salvation. Please don't take one verse or half verse like Eph 2:8-9 but read verse 10 because it is talking about the works that God has prepared for us to walk in.
Believers and non believers are suppose to repent. Being a child of God, yes you can live anyway you want too and still go to heaven, but you won't get away with it. God will disipline and chastise every son he receives. The reason why I live the way I live, weigh the words I say, the places I go, isn't because I am trying to go to heaven, or get saved. That happened in one moment of time when I believed the gospel and trust Christ as my savior Did you know that god repented more than anybody else in the OT? I do all these things because of the sake of Christ and for the sake of the gospel. If good works does save, or is the evidence of of salvation, that would mean the theif on the cross wasn't saved, and half the OT saints wasn't saved. Friut of salvation is meant for others to see, and gloryify god. James was talking to saved christians, who didn't do anything, therefore they weren't justified before men. That is what James 2 is about. How was Abraham justified? How was lot justified? Samson, and others in the OT? Ephesians 1:13 spells it out what happens at the moment of salvation. Jonah3:10 And God saw their WORKS, that they TURNED FROM THEIR EVIL WAY; and God REPENTED of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Repentance, regarding salvation is a change of mind(Greek:Metanioa)
Actually, everyone will see Jesus at the Rapture, but only some will see Him when He returns WITH His saints at Armageddon. According to Revelation 6, everyone left behind will flee from His presence.
False, this pastor just explained by scripture that only true born-again Christians will be caught up in the Rapture. Not everyone will be raptured, as you falsely believe. Forsake the false doctrine that you have believed. Listen carefully to this video again!
Romans 3:4 Let God be true, but every man a liar. Mathew 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire......This guy preaches a false gospel. Yes we are saved by faith and not of works. But we can lose salvation after that and we must do what the Bible says, not what a man says we should do. So many deceived people out there.
Ok -friend. I will try. since you faith is in yourself not to lose it. BTW - in both of your passages....neither says one loses their salvation. First, what is THE GOSPEL??? Since it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, (Romans 1:16)
Are you calling God a liar? He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:10-13 KJV www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Eternal-Security/
If you are saying you can lose your salvation, then you are saying that Christ died in vain (Gal 2:21). Matthew 7 explains the false prophets who bring forth bad fruit which is a false gospel, and that is what you are bringing forth if you believe a person can lose their salvation. What hope, joy, or peace do we have if Christ's finished work didn't save us? God sent His Son to be the sacrifice for our sins so that the will and commandment of God is to believe on Him whom He has sent, that whoever believes shall not perish but have everlasting life. (John 6:40, 1 John 3:26, John 3:16) Therefore, you have now offended God by saying His Son's sacrifice was not enough. Believe in Christ and you will be saved (Acts 16:31). faithalone.org/blog/fruit-recognize/

It's possible to be going through the motions of religion with having no close relationship with christ.
Many go for social life, image, and professional progression.
The church means the body of believers all around the world wherever they are. Christ is the head of the church and true believers are the body. It does not mean a church building. It is we who are born again by faith alone in Christ alone.

No, Communion is not a requirement for salvation.
If you read all of John 6 you will see that the requirement for salvation is believing on Jesus as Jesus said in verse 47.
John 6:47 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Jesus was using the representation of his body and blood in the form of bread and wine. The bread and wine eaten at communion is nothing more than bread and wine. Taking communion is a way for a Christian to identify with and reverence Christ.
@@jjsmoley thank you for replying May The All Powerful Lord God Jesus Christ Bless you Richly in Every Way Always!!! I have another question I Believe Jesus Is The Son of God and God The Son of The Holy Trinity I Believe Jesus Shed His Blood and Died in my place to Pay for All my Sins He was Buried Then 3 Days Later Jesus Arose From The Dead!!! But I am struggling with some Sins that I honestly don’t know how to quit I hate my Sins But I genuinely don’t know how to stop them Am I still Saved because because of my faith in Jesus or am I Not Saved because of my Sins? Am I born again because of my faith in Jesus or is there something more I need to do? Thank you for All your Help and Time

Check out Pastor Dave's series on Galatians. It should help clarify a lot of questions for you.

But to answer you direct question. If you've accepted Jesus Christ's payment for your sins then you are saved no matter what you do. Notice this verse below says that you can "know" you have eternal life.
1 John 5:13 - These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
As far as how to remove the sin from your life. You need to replace the sins with doing God's work. Notice the verse below says to start by walking in the spirit first, then you won't fulfil the lust of the flesh. Not the other way around. Removing the sin from your life won't save you, only believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins will save you.
Galatians 5:16 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
So if I stay on drugs and keep sleeping with other women it's ok? As long as I have Jesus
No it's not OK with God to sin. But if you have trusted Christ as your Savior and you do sin you will still end up in heaven. However, your life on earth may not be so pleasant as God may chasten you and try to get you back on the right path. You will also miss out on God's blessing both on earth and in heaven.
Read the first part of Hebrews 12.
Sin has consequences. Severe. To you and those affected by your actions. This is why sinning is dangerous. If you want to try and keep sinning after you've confessed the atoning work of Christ, try it. See what happens. God might show you that you're going to meet Him prematurely if you're on that path.
I find this question interesting because if you truly are saved, you have something inside of you called holy spirit. The world would call it a conscience, but it does convict you of your sin. If you love doing drugs and sleeping with women and feel no remorse about it, it's still possible that you are saved but your conscience has been seared like those in corinthians. But you know what Paul did, right? He turned them over to Satan for their early destruction. So keep behaving like you are behaving if you want to meet Jesus a lot sooner. That's the risk you're taking.
what about repenting for your sins(stop sinning)? isnt repentance required for salvation?
You're not required to stop sinning (an impossibility anyhow) for salvation. That would be works righteousness. Repentance is required but it is a change of mind about the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ and realisation that we rely alone on what He has done to be made right with God and nothing we do or could ever do. Repent 'of your sins' is nowhere found in the Scriptures as far as receipt of salvation is concerned. After taking the free gift of eternal life and being made sure of Heaven, we should turn from sin as the Lord empowers and we grow in Grace conforming to Christlikeness. This is not a matter of salvation but of 'reasonable service' for the already saved. Once you have it, you can never lose it.
Much blessing.
Darenegadegeneral that’s impossible that’s why it’s not based on works but being saved and confessing that Jesus is lord we saved by grace! And through faith
@@DMRCapitalHill Does that give you licence to continue living in sin??
@@uncheckers A born again believer can choose to live in sin and stayed saved, it's not a "license" to sin. You could say sin, repent, sin, repent is a "license" to sin, do whatever you want and say sorry and it's gone. We have free will and will continue to sin until we die. The question is: Are you trusting that Jesus died for all those sins and paid the price, or are you rejecting that shed blood and trying to save yourself.
There is not one verse that says...repent of sins, in the King James Bible.
Who has turned from All Their sins.
AWESOME WORD/ OBEY ACTS.2:38 = 4 SALVATION
Romans 4:1-5.
Romans 11:6.
Ephesians 2:8-9.
Titus 3:5-7.
So many people in the comments have questions 😂 I’m one of them ?
The one and only Gospel of Jesus Christ (the Good News of salvation):
We're all sinners and therefore guilty before God. The wages of sin is death; that means hell. Salvation is a FREE GIFT! The Lord Jesus Christ came down from heaven and paid our sin debt in full on the cross with His death in our place there, His burial, and His resurrection from the dead proving He is God. All you can do, as a lost sinner, is accept God's FREE GIFT of eternal life by faith (alone; no effort or works of your own) in Christ (alone) and you will be saved. Christ's payment is good on your behalf, so you can't go to hell ever. You're eternally secure in Christ!
How About Some GOOD NEWS for a Change?

This message is very clear.
Re-watch it as many times as needed until it clicks in your head.
That is nowhere in the bible…! After the rapture of the chuch, there will be the judgement, there is no „left behind“ scenario anywhere in the bible! You are preaching the false doctrines of J.Darby, not what the bible says…! There is only one „second coming „ of Christ…!
" If God exists and He promises to reward those who persevere in doing good and to punish those who live selfishly in sin, it is foolish to live for this short life only. Since God will impartially judge each person according to his deeds, persevere in doing good in light of eternity!"
Perseverance of the saints is Lordship damnation! Your works are filthy rags!!!

You're believing a Lordship salvation false gospel.
A works-righteousness obedience works for proof of salvation false doctrine.
Unbelievers get judged on their works at the great white throne judgement. Believers will go before the judgement seat of Christ for rewards. How we live does matter but for sure our salvation is based on the finished work of Christ and not of ourselves.
Put your faith in Christ and you will be raptured!! ( What about faith without works is dead) This really is a false teaching . Are you telling me that I can live in sin all my life and bring shame to Jesus name and then claim that I am a believer in Christ. So why does the Bible say repent?? I don't need to repent because Jesus saved me the day i accepted his death according to this teaching, so does that mean repentance is for the non believers only!? If that is truth which i disagree completely then lets go party and do what ever we want because what we do will not affect our salvation. Please don't take one verse or half verse like Eph 2:8-9 but read verse 10 because it is talking about the works that God has prepared for us to walk in.
Believers and non believers are suppose to repent. Being a child of God, yes you can live anyway you want too and still go to heaven, but you won't get away with it. God will disipline and chastise every son he receives. The reason why I live the way I live, weigh the words I say, the places I go, isn't because I am trying to go to heaven, or get saved. That happened in one moment of time when I believed the gospel and trust Christ as my savior Did you know that god repented more than anybody else in the OT? I do all these things because of the sake of Christ and for the sake of the gospel. If good works does save, or is the evidence of of salvation, that would mean the theif on the cross wasn't saved, and half the OT saints wasn't saved. Friut of salvation is meant for others to see, and gloryify god. James was talking to saved christians, who didn't do anything, therefore they weren't justified before men. That is what James 2 is about. How was Abraham justified? How was lot justified? Samson, and others in the OT? Ephesians 1:13 spells it out what happens at the moment of salvation.
Jonah3:10
And God saw their WORKS, that they TURNED FROM THEIR EVIL WAY; and God REPENTED of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Repentance, regarding salvation is a change of mind(Greek:Metanioa)
Actually, everyone will see Jesus at the Rapture, but only some will see Him when He returns WITH His saints at Armageddon. According to Revelation 6, everyone left behind will flee from His presence.
False, this pastor just explained by scripture that only true born-again Christians will be caught up in the Rapture.
Not everyone will be raptured, as you falsely believe.
Forsake the false doctrine that you have believed.
Listen carefully to this video again!
Romans 3:4 Let God be true, but every man a liar. Mathew 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire......This guy preaches a false gospel. Yes we are saved by faith and not of works. But we can lose salvation after that and we must do what the Bible says, not what a man says we should do. So many deceived people out there.
1 Timothy 1:19.....Hebrews 10:38
Ok -friend. I will try. since you faith is in yourself not to lose it. BTW - in both of your passages....neither says one loses their salvation.
First, what is THE GOSPEL??? Since it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, (Romans 1:16)
Salvation is a GIFT if you can lose it--means you think you earned it.
Read all your Bible. The devil can quoted scriptures. Context!!!
Are you calling God a liar?
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:10-13 KJV www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Eternal-Security/
If you are saying you can lose your salvation, then you are saying that Christ died in vain (Gal 2:21). Matthew 7 explains the false prophets who bring forth bad fruit which is a false gospel, and that is what you are bringing forth if you believe a person can lose their salvation. What hope, joy, or peace do we have if Christ's finished work didn't save us? God sent His Son to be the sacrifice for our sins so that the will and commandment of God is to believe on Him whom He has sent, that whoever believes shall not perish but have everlasting life. (John 6:40, 1 John 3:26, John 3:16) Therefore, you have now offended God by saying His Son's sacrifice was not enough. Believe in Christ and you will be saved (Acts 16:31). faithalone.org/blog/fruit-recognize/
