"spend life repenting and believing" and "thanking God and growing in faith" Amen. I am grateful for Paul's passion for Christ in teaching us to pursue His Kingdom and righteousness for a LIFETIME!
I seriously cannot stand men like Paul Washer. He tells people they are going to suffer forever if they don’t do what he says, as a way of making a living. If he believed in “sola scriptura” he wouldn’t have a job. There are so many ridiculous and obviously insane ideas that he sells to people it’s astonishing.
@@wojak91 no he does not and clearly you are a reprobate like him. The gospel nowhere says DONT SIN TO BE SAVED..if it were possible we didn’t need Jesus to begin with. You reject Christ when u add to what he did. Depart from me you WORKER of inquity
I admired Paul Boldness to share the Gospel, He expose me, that I am a fake Christian for How many years. I professed my faith to all People surround me, yet not walking in the light. You got me? I claim that I am Christian but live in a sins, in darkness, how Hippocrates I am. Till I heard the message of Paul ,convicted me, And I found myself, sinners in the sight of God. I believed in Christ Jesus, His grace, I believed that Without Him I am nothing, founding myself repenting sins daily, because God will finished the good work He started from me. And I got the point of this message. That if we were truly been saved, we will continually repenting and believing. God bless us all.
@@gregjones2217 it isn't proof. It is evidence. But I highly doubt that many people who wrote these books about Christ, would die for this lie. And also, for now, The Bible is sadly all we have. But we could look deeper into this world and find some more evidence that suggest Christ did exist and is Lord. There is no way to have 100% proof.
@@RepentfollowJesus Paul Washer does not teach that. But you are right. Paul Washers Calvinism teaches that you are pre programed to reject the gospel and Christ if God has selected you as John Calvin his teacher says. Quote God arranges all things by his sovereign counsel, in such a way that individuals are born, who are doomed from the womb to certain death and are to glorify him by their destruction. (John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 6) “…salvation is freely offered to some while others are barred from access to it.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, Paragraph 5) Washer is one of the more careful Calvinists who couches his words of this heresy well. But heresy it is. Truth in Love
@@truth7416Be careful how you word things. Yes Jesus died for the sins of the whole world so that whosoever wants to come can come. Absolutely! You still can't ignore passages that say while Jacob and Esau were still in the womb Jacob God loved and Esau he hated... Peter talks about being known before the foundation of the world... Pharoah's heart was hardened it says... These things are all true and need to be considered.
@@Jonas-ze9eu Look I am only here to help those who are deceived by the Devil's schemes. You Mention Jacob and Esau. I do NOT ignore this, I embrace it it truth. But real truth is different than when you are programmed to believe it to conform to a false doctrine. Let it go for a minute and read what Jacob and Esau is really saying. Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad-in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: 12not by works but by him who calls-she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” Romans 9: 11-13 NOTE "Just as it is written!" Well where is it written? It is written in Genesis 25: 23! The Lord said to her, (Rebekah) “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.” It was talking about nations not individuals! In there lives the older DID NOT serve the younger. But the Nations did! When the Bible referred to Esau and Jacob it was referring to THE NATIONS THEY REPRESENTED NOT THE INDIVIDUALS. The Older never served the younger brother in their lives. The nations they started did. TRUTH IN LOVE
@@Jonas-ze9eu You said in error "BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD" That is a Calvinist invention to fit their doctrine. It really says: "Our names were written in Heaven before the foundations of The Earth" That is a lie!! Calvinists, have altered the biblical text of “from the foundation of the world,” and made it “before the foundation of the world.” The King James Version reads: “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast- all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain. Truth in Love
My whole Christian lifetime I have longed for discipleship & fellowship with believers. Find it difficult to learn on my own & trust my thoughts to be God's or mine. Have never been personally discipled or in a small group where people share & grow close.
You'll never have to doubt after watching this Summer Knabe. I used to doubt because I was watching men like Paul, John Piper, MacArthur etc. Let me share this video: ua-cam.com/video/cSwns7EMd_Y/v-deo.html
Perfect sermon! Good works and holy life is not a means of Salvation, but they are the evidence of Salvation. Faith without good works is dead as said in James 2: 21-23 After knowing the knowledge of Christ we cannot go and serve sin and bring dishonor to the name of Jesus Christ.
If good works and holy living are the evidence for salvation, how did the Apostles know that 3000 people got saved(on the spot) on the day of Pentecost, since there was not enough time for any of the 3000 to have engaged in holy living, or to have accumulated any significant amount of good works? I look forward to your response 💫
@@josephmass3052 nailed it! 👍 Still waiting for a response, I see. They have no response .. they try once to get their lie out there, then they move on to the next chance they get to spew their hell-bound half-baked, works-based false gospel.
Hebrews 7:27 Who needeth NOT DAILY, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he DID ONCE, when he offered up himself. Jesus did it once that's all, He doesn't come down every time some one sins and Goes back on the cross for them. Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but NOW ONCE in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Jesus didn't say to us that accepted him/believed/asked for forgiveness.....that I forgive you of your sins, as long as you do everything perfect from here on out you will have eternal life. No, he didn't. Once you're saved, you're saved. Otherwise it wouldn't be saved by grace, it would be saved by works.
Salvation is of God you did nothing. You can do nothing Salvation is realizing who you are. A person completely dead in sin, the first step to Salvation is asking God to change you because only he can
True, but also knowing that this whole world is built on idol worship even down to our holidays, those Yahuah hates and they are all pagan…we have been deceived and lied to about whom God is…even the idols in the churches of men like Jesus on the cross are considered a Heaven image…We have been deceived greatly
That is a correct Calvinist answer! You can do nothing! Like a corpse nothing! But then you say to do something like asking God to change you! See how Calvinism rots away common sense. Truth In Love
@@benprestridge6787 i couldn't until i started reading the old testament and everything started to become clearer. God wants blood, but none are able to provide it. Jesus was the final sacrafice as the only man that was clean to be sacraficed. His blood cleansed all of sin if only they beleive, and repent, and turn to God. It took me to understand the old testament to start to understand the gospels
it isnt.. faith without works is dead read james 2. what paul washer is explaining is after you are truly saved you become a new creature your heart and mind begin to change. your old desires are no longer your priority but isntead it is God. You start to repent and turn away from sin not because any of this saves you but because of what Christ did for you on the cross. this isnt works based salvation but a deeper explanation of what happens when someone is saved they turn away from sin they "repent" an active life style as repent isnt solely an after you sin activity but an every day activity. Example: tempted to look at porn instead you repent and turn to God for help you go into prayer or reading the bible. not because any of this saves you but because you are saved you do this.
@@NYCNY92 facts didn’t know it at the time tho. For it is by grace that we have been saved through faith not of works it is the gift of God If it is by grace it is no longer on the merit of works otherwise grace is no longer grace. Let repentance and living for godliness be for the glory of God and his kingdom because you love him not because you need to do something to be saved but rather because you are already saved through what Christ Jesus has done on the cross. James 2 speaks on the profitability of your works unto others. While all things are lawful not all things are profitable. If your faith has no works then it is of no benefit for others who are not saved nor is it beneficial to yourself or fellow brothers it is dead.
No matter how we try no matter how we repent, there's nothing we can do about sin,... it's within us it's in our nature, no amount of works for us to do to save our selves but the blood that poured on us by the our Lord Jesus Christ, cleanse us, and by the Holy Spirit sealed us unto the day. no man is good enough, for non is righteous no not one, for all have sinned and fall short in the Glory of God. The Lord Jesus Christ has paid it already on the cross, He died instead of us.
You say this because you do not know God. You do not know the truth. 1 John 3, 1Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. 2Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears,a we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. 3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.b 4Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.c 5But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him. 7Little children,d let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.e 8The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has born of God. 10By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
@@jimkemmerer9833 Tell that to Paul according his own struggle based on his words in Romans 7 Spirit vs flesh. The sinfull nature is always there untill we die, also our new godly nature is there untill we die. This is the everyday battle of a reborn christian.
Nothing was the same for me after August 2020, and it had to be because of God this time. I had a repentance phase in 2015 for 2 weeks...only lasted 2 weeks. wasnt of God
First Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness, but unto us who are saved it is the POWER of God. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to them that believe, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. John 3:18 Believers are no longer condemned to hell, but unbelievers are condemned already because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God. First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. John 6:47 God can not lie. Romans 4:5-8. Romans 3:26-28 For He is the just and the justifier of them that BELIEVE in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? By the law of works? Nay, but by the LAW of FAITH. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH apart from the deeds of the LAW. First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. But, only those who believe it are saved. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, physical death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. The GIFT of God is eternal life. Not a reward for good behavior, but a free GIFT. Ephesians 1:13-14 Our guarantee of eternal life. John 10:28-29. No one can pluck us from HIs hand. Gods word, and He can not lie. Repentance for salvation is a change of mind. Metanoia. We quit trusting in what we do to save us to trusting totally in what Jesus did to save us. John 3:16 Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Period. John 6:47. Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it.
The only "eViDeNcE" 🙄 a person has to have is Believing Alone on what The Lord Jesus Christ did to save them. I'm Saved Because God's Son, The Lord Jesus Christ Lived a Sinlessly perfect life in my Place, He Died for my sins on the cross Shedding His Blood Was buried and Rose from the dead the Third day for my Justification. Once a Person HEARS, BELIEVES, AND TRUSTS The Gospel of Salvation they are SEALED with God's Holy Spirit unto The Day of Redemption, The Rapture!!
But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. Jas 2:18 We are saved by grace alone through faith alone. And faith without works is no faith.
The works that many preachers talk about are not works that we ourselves do in order to be saved or works that we do in order to prove to other people that we are saved, the works that these men talk about are works of the Holy Spirit. Inward works that the Holy Spirit does in the heart of a believer that are shown outwardly by a believer. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."- Galatians 5: 22-23
It is true that repentance is an on going process that will last our whole lifetime. However, it's so much more accurate to say, "the moment God gave me the gift of belief and repentance, then I believed and was justified." To say it another way, one simply can't believe or even repent of any sin unless God gives them that gift of believing or repentance. Most people I talk to disagree with me as they put the "Cart before the Horse'"
This is true, a man cannot know that he is lost and in need of salvation unless God makes it known to that man that he is lost and needs salvation. A preacher or pastor or priest can tell you that you need to be saved but until YOU know within yourself through the convicting power of the Holy Spirit that you need to be saved there can be no true salvation because there is no true conviction of sin without the Holy Spirit.
@Springfeel25 Yes, yes! It is so refreshing to hear salvation and the need for it explained so accurately. Praise God for that, brother! You're in small company by God's grace.
So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:17 Faith without works is dead. Why ? Because good works is evidence for being saved not what saves us but what comes after we are saved, the Holy Spirit is recreating us into Christ's image until we meet God. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
@@MyLordAndMyGodJesusChrist The verb for save is sōzō. It means "to preserve or rescue from danger." That danger can be earthly or eternal depend- ing on the context. Context is key! Sōzō appears five times in James. What kind of salvation is it? Two uses are absolutely about earthly salvation! Salvation from sickness (James 5:15) Salvation from death (James 5:20) And if you look at the context, so are the other three: Salvation from physical destruction (James 4:12) Salvation from poverty (James 2:14) Salvation from the deadly effects of sin (James 1:21; cf. v 15) Conclusion: Paul and James did not contradict each other! While Paul taught that eternal salvation is by grace, through faith, apart from works (Eph 2:8-9), James taught that earthly salvation depends on works. God cares about both!
@@elizabethl3323 The point is we are saved by Grace through faith but after we are saved there will be good works as evidence for being saved, if someone claim they are saved but has no transformation are they then saved? Holy Spirit will work in us till we die. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
John 📖 chapter 14 verse 15... ❤️ 🙏 📖 🙏 ❤️ If you love me, keep my commandments. 🙏 Matthew 📖 chapter 4 verse 4... 🕯🙏📖🙏🕯 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
No one person is perfect except for the son of the most high. As humans we need to work towards the best we can, there will be moments we don't live up to that, get back up on your feet at that point.
1 John 1.5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Romans10.9 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
A person commented on this post the following: "Perfect sermon! Good works and holy life is not a means of salvation, but they are the evidence of Salvation." I responded to this post with the following question: If good works and holy living are the evidence for salvation, how did the Apostles know that 3000 people got saved(on the spot) on the day of Pentecost, since there was not time enough for any of the 3000 to have engaged in holy living and the accumulation of good works? I look forward to your response 💫 ------------- I'm still waiting on a response. Therefore, I'll offer this question to whoever will respond. I look forward to anyone's response 💫 ------------- We'll be pushing 24 hours soon, and I still have not had anyone respond to answer this question. It's amazing how many people favor this message, yet cannot/will not answer this question. It's not a trick question folks. It's a clear and straightforward question. What each of you need to consider is that if you cannot answer this question, then it may very well be that this teaching is incorrect. 🛑
From what I have learned is that once you are called upon by God, you will ask God for mercy on you and ask for forgiveness of your sins, (Repentance). Your faith in Jesus Christ that he died for you on the cross and rose again in 3 days along with repentance of your sins to God will you be saved. Once you have been baptized by the Holy Spirit then the Holy Spirit will place conviction in your heart to repent of your sins on a daily basis. May not be the same sins already repented for but sins that you do while growing in your faith. Anger, Pride, Jealousy, Hate, Lying, etc.. The list goes on and on, however in your heart and head you will no longer want to do these things but Satan deceives and tries to get you to do them anyways. Once you are baptized by Jesus of the Holy Spirit, you will no longer desire the ungodly things of this world. But we do sin, we live in a broken society that is sinful. It's simple though, Repent of your sins to God, trust and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and read your Bible daily. God Bless you all...
@TAQ2Music Don't embrace or listen to the false teachings of Paul Washer who is a FALSE TEACHER preaching the false gospel of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation which is WORKS SALVATION. If you want to be saved, BELIEVE on Christ and His finished work on the cross. The Bible says that eternal life is a free gift, that is not of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23. Salvation is a one time event that saves a person in a NANOSECOND for all eternity - John 5:24. Acts 16:30-31 - 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast. Romans 3:20 - Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. Romans 3:28 - For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Romans 4:2-6 - 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works. Romans 9:31-32 - but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? BECAUSE THEY PURSUED IT NOT BY FAITH BUT AS IF IT WERE BY WORKS. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. Romans 10:4 - For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. Galatians 2:16 - know that a person IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, BECAUSE BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. Galatians 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing. Galatians 3:6 - So also Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Galatians 5:4 - You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. Titus 3:5 - HE saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, Genesis 15:6 - Abraham believed the Lord, and HE CREDITED IT TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Hope this helps, God bless!
@TAQ2Music Sin is transgression of the law of God, but we are not under the law of God for salvation, we are under GRACE. Christ did what no man on the face of this earth could ever do, and that is fulfill the law of God in absolute sinless perfection - Matthew 5:17-18. It is Christ's imputed righteousness that justifies a person positionally before God, that is, His perfect fulfillment of the law, and His blood sacrifice and death on the cross. We all still commit sin by breaking the law of God in one way or another after we are saved, and that includes ME. We are not under the law for SALVATION. If we break the law, we will no doubt suffer the consequences including chastisement from God and other societal consequences, BUT we are still saved. After a person is saved, if the person goes out and commits a crime and gets caught, the person will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences of his/her actions including prison time and chastisement from God, BUT the person is still SAVED. Again, we are NOT under the law for salvation, but under the law because we live in a world that upholds the law which maintains order in society and if anyone breaks those laws, there will be consequences. If we commit adultery, we will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences and be subject to God's temporal judgment, BUT WE ARE STILL GOD'S CHILDREN. There are scores of saved pastors and lay people who commit adultery, but that does not mean they will "lose their salvation" or mean "they were never saved to begin with", if that's what you're thinking. Too many people let Calvinism and Arminianism contaminate their doctrine because of the prevalence of these 2 false doctrines that have permeated all the churches within mainstream Christianity. Christ's blood atonement and death on the cross did not free us from sinning, but freed us from the penalty of sin which is ETERNAL CONDEMNATION in hell and the eventual Lake of Fire. Again, all SAVED Christians still sin AFTER they are saved. Saved Christians will be freed from the old sin nature on the very day of the Rapture, but for now we all still sin no matter what, no matter how hard we try not to. The OUTER MAN, which is the FLESH, the old SIN NATURE still resides in all of us where we all still sin EXPERIENTIALLY after we are saved (Romans 7:14-25, Galatians 5:13) whether its sins of omission that we are not aware of and deliberate sins that we do. The OUTER MAN, the FLESH, which is the old SIN NATURE will not be eradicated until Christ returns at the Rapture to take and TRANSFORM us into perfect, sinless, eternal bodies - 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2. Philippians 3:21 - Who shall change OUR VILE BODY, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 1 John 3:2 - Beloved, now are WE ARE THE SONS OF GOD, and IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: but we know that, when he shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is. However, we have not died to our old nature in this earthly life and have not died to sin at the moment of faith. The old nature still resides in all of us (the flesh, the OUTER MAN) and will not be eradicated until the very day of the Rapture when Christ personally comes to take and transform us. That is the whole point of Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Again, we have NOT died to sin yet as we all still sin. That is why 1 John 1:8-10 and 1 John 2:1 was written. Our performance of good works before God is not in perfection as we all still sin AFTER our conversion. Our good works in this life contribute to the edification of others as PROFITABLE SERVICE - James 2:14-26, 1 John 3:17-18 and will earn us ETERNAL REWARDS at the future Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 when our earthly lives will be evaluated to determine the gain or loss of eternal rewards and the privilege of reigning with Christ in the Millennial kingdom - Revelation 2:26, Revelation 3:21, Luke 19:11-27. Hope this helps, God bless!
@TAQ2Music Here are Biblical examples of Godly people in the New Testament whom the apostle Paul affirmed are still saved despite their sinful deeds. The Corinthian Christians of the apostle Paul's time certainly would convince many people that they were "unsaved" or "had lost their salvation." Their lives were deplorable and were living in gross sin and immorality, but Paul affirmed the fact that they were saved in 1 Corinthians 3:1 as he addressed them as "brethren" that were "carnal babes in Christ". Paul would not have addressed them in that way if they were not saved. Paul addresses them as "brethren" in 1 Cor 2:1, as "brethren" and "carnal' "babes in Christ" in 1 Cor 3:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 4:6, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 10:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 11:2, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 12:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 14:20, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:58. (KJV) The above list in 1 Corinthians where Paul repeatedly addressed the Corinthian Christians as "brethren" is overwhelming evidence that these are saved people possessing eternal life. Paul would not have addressed them as "brethren" if they were not saved. When Paul addressed the Corinthian church they were living in sexual immorality, lawsuits, divisions, etc, at the very time when he wrote to them. Lordshippers just love to change the plain text and teach that Paul was referring to the Corinthians after they matured. NO, Paul was addressing and rebuking them in their present state while they were living in sin. It makes no logical sense for the apostle Paul to address and rebuke them if the Corinthians "grew" and matured. Paul addresses them as "Brethren" meaning they were saved, but he couldn't address them as spiritual and mature because they were not. They were saved, but CARNAL and BABES IN CHRIST who were still not growing as Paul said they were still drinking milk. 1 Corinthians 3:1 KJV - "And I, BRETHREN, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto CARNAL, even as unto BABES IN CHRIST." 1 Corinthians 3:2 - I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, YOU ARE STILL NOT READY. 1) 1 Corinthians 3:3 - there was ENVYING, STRIFE, and DIVISIONS among the Christians. 2) 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 - A CHRISTIAN MAN WAS HAVING SEX WITH HIS STEPMOTHER and consequently Paul pronounced judgment on this man in 1 Corinthians 5:5 where Paul says, "hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be SAVED on the day of the Lord". The Corinthian Christian's attitude regarding this man who was sleeping with his stepmother was one of PRIDE - 1 Cor 5:2 In 2 Corinthians 2:5-8, Paul gives an update on this man where we read that this man was chastened with CHURCH DISCIPLINE and that God had mercy on him and did not terminate his physical life. Paul instructs the church to forgive and comfort him so that he won't be overcome by excessive sorrow and to reaffirm their love and concern for him. 2 Corinthians 2:5-8 - But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was INFLICTED BY MANY. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to FORGIVE HIM, AND COMFORT HIM, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would CONFIRM YOUR LOVE TOWARD HIM. 3) 1 Corinthians 4:18 - there was ARROGANCE among the Corinthian Christians. 4) 1 Corinthians 6:7-8 - THERE WERE CHRISTIANS TAKING OTHER CHRISTIANS TO COURT and there was CHEATING among them. 5) 1 Corinthians 7:2 - there was FORNICATION among the Christians. 6) 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 - there were Christians EATING SELFISHLY, and there was DRUNKENNESS at the Lord's Supper. Because of their selfish indulgence of food and getting drunk God brought about SICKNESS and PHYSICAL DEATH as punishment - 1 Cor 11:29-30. Scripture is clear that there are indeed carnal Christians that are saved. It's not good or spiritually edifying that they are living in sin. God will CHASTISE them because they are His children, but they are still saved - Hebrews 12:5-11. The book of 1 Corinthians confirms the reality of carnal Christians who were living in sin and Paul affirmed that they are eternally saved by addressing them as "sanctified in Christ Jesus" and "saints" in 1 Cor 1:2. Paul also made it clear that he would deal with those who were sinning in the Corinthian Church with DISCIPLINE/CHASTISEMENT. This, of course, was not a threat against their salvation and eternal security. They were in danger of chastisement from God for their sinful actions and behavior - 2 Corinthians 13:2. Paul had already pronounced chastisement on the man who was sleeping with his stepmother in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5. All the other sinning believers were in the same danger of chastisement from God just like the ones who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper - 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 and their consequent chastisement of sickness and premature physical death where their life spans were cut short - 1 Corinthians 11:29-30. 2 Corinthians 13:2 - I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others. It appears that Paul was warning the Corinthian believers about imminent chastisement from God if they didn't heed his warnings to them. In 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, it clearly states that God had already dealt with some of the Corinthian Christians who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:20-22) by sending sickness and premature PHYSICAL DEATH where their life spans were cut short. Self-righteous Calvinists/Lordship Salvationists like PAUL WASHER and a host of others and Arminian/Lordship Salvationists will of course deliberately deny the existence of carnal Christians and would deliberately write off carnal Christians who are living in sin as "unsaved" or having "lost their salvation" despite overwhelming evidence from Scripture. Hope this helps, God bless!
@TAQ2Music 1) Samson is a true man of God and at the same time a FORNICATOR - Judges 16:1 who led Israel for 20 years - Judges 15:20, Judges 16:31. The Bible is clear that he saw a prostitute and spent the night with her and what is described in Mark 7:20-23 and Galatians 5:19 was in Samson's heart at that very moment. Samson's last prayer just before his simultaneous murder/suicide was NOT a prayer of repentance, but was a request to God to strengthen him so that he could get REVENGE on the Philistines for the loss of his 2 eyes. Then in Judges 16:28-30, Samson commits a simultaneous MURDER/SUICIDE.Yet Samson is listed as a Godly man of faith in Hebrews 11:32. Samson would not be listed there if he was unsaved. 2) KING DAVID is a true man of God who struggled with LIVE PORNOGRAPHY and no doubt at that moment had sexual lust in his heart (Mark 7:20-23, Galatians 5:19) as he watched Bathsheba take a bath from the roof of his palace and then gave in to the temptation and committed ADULTERY/MURDER - 2 Samuel 11:1-21. This happened despite the fact that King David had over 6 wives at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David felt no conviction for his sins of adultery and murder because of the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to him and then gave orders for the murder of her husband, Uriah the Hittite. God had to send Nathan the prophet to WAKE HIM UP - 2 Samuel 12. God chastised King David with a series of painful consequences for the rest of his life - 2 Samuel 12:10, but his eternal salvation was never in question. King David is a true man of God and is called the "man after God's heart" - Acts 13:22, but the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to his palace obviously showed that King David felt NO CONVICTION. David sent an assistant to find out about her -2 Samuel 11:3 and was then informed that Bathsheba is MARRIED to Uriah the Hittite. Then despite knowing that fact about Bathsheba which should have deterred him, he instructs his assistants to bring her to him - 2 Samuel 11:4. Those chronological actions taken by David obviously shows that David felt no conviction about sleeping with another man's wife despite the fact that he was married to over 6 women at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David had all the sex that he wanted, but it appeared that his many wives were not enough to satisfy him. He later takes Bathsheba to be one of his many wives adding to the list after murdering her husband, Uriah the Hittite - 2 Samuel 11:26-27. He then gets her pregnant again. There is a big contrast between King David and his sexual lust for Bathsheba in comparison with Joseph and Potiphar's wife. It is important to note that Joseph was SINGLE at that time when Potiphar's wife tempted him on a daily basis. However, Joseph had strong GODLY CONVICTION and refused to give in and because of his strong Godly conviction, the Lord blessed Joseph wherever he went. Both King David and Joseph were SAVED Godly men, but the only difference is that King David had a total lack of Godly conviction when it came to sexual sin, but Joseph had strong Godly conviction. 3) Lot is a man of God, but we read in Genesis 19:6-8 that Lot offers up his 2 daughters for SEX to the homosexuals who surrounded his house and in Genesis 19:31-36 we read that he has SEX WITH BOTH HIS DAUGHTERS GETTING THEM PREGNANT. This was clearly a case of INCEST. Yet Peter refers to Lot as a RIGHTEOUS MAN in 2 Peter 2:7-8 and Peter would not have referred to him as "RIGHTEOUS" if Lot was unsaved. 4) Moses is a man of God who committed the MURDER of an Egyptian - Exodus 2:12. 5) Noah is a man of God who got DRUNK and WENT NAKED in his tent - Genesis 9:21. 6) Jacob is a man of God who was also a SWINDLER as he kept all the best livestock for himself, but left all the weak and defective ones for his father in law Laban. Jacob and his mother Rebekah are both LIARS and DECEIVERS as they both deceived Isaac in stealing the blessing meant for Esau - Genesis 27:1-29. Jacob spoke LYING WORDS of deception to Isaac. 7) Abraham is a LIAR as he lied about his wife Sarah being his sister - Genesis 20:2. People in the Old Testament were saved the exact same way as people in New Testament times, otherwise the apostle Paul would not have quoted Genesis 15:6 in Romans 4:2-6, and Galatians 3:5-8 in support of SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE APART FROM OUR WORKS. Galatians 3:5-8 - 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, OR BY BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEARD? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced THE GOSPEL IN ADVANCE TO ABRAHAM: “All nations will be blessed through you.” Hope this helps, God bless!
If some random guy on the street wants to talk to me about Christ and I tell him that I am already saved and he asks me: "what does that mean?", "how do you know?", "are you sure?" I am going to ask him: "do you doubt the work of the Holy Spirit? Do you doubt that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was sufficient enough to save me?" That's what I would respond with. I believed and still believe in Jesus, I got saved when I was 12 years old, the Holy Spirit drew me to Christ and I obeyed the call of the Holy Spirit, I prayed on the altar and I said: "Jesus save me, Jesus please save me" this prayer that I prayed was not pretty, it was not well worded, I did not know a lot of scripture at 12 years old but I knew that the gospel had been preached in power and demonstration of the Spirit and that I needed to be saved and I know that when I prayed I placed my faith and trust in Jesus Christ and according to His Holy Word and the witness of the Holy Spirit in my heart that I am saved, Jesus did not save me because of anything that I did but because of what He did for me on the cross, all that I did was fall down on my knees and surrender myself to him.
I'm sure you are living a life of repentance from sin though, right? Even though we struggle with our flesh we continue to repent every day. What brother Paul is talking about is are the masses of people in the world right now that claim the name of Jesus as a free ticket to live in as much sin as they please.
@@wojak91 Sanctification is a process that lasts through the whole life of a believer, an immature Christian who does not yet know what all the bible says about how we should live after we have been saved may come to the conclusion that because they are saved it is then okay to live however they want to live. My dad was one of these people, he got saved at a young age and then for ten years lived as though he never knew Christ, he eventually realized what a mistake he had made and returned to the Lord's house, now he is a preacher. It is our choice after that we have been saved whether or not we are going to walk in paths of righteousness and submit to the Lord daily asking for forgiveness for our sins or whether we are going to go our own way and refuse to feed the inner man who desires the things of God.
@@winterpatriot1429 It says it everywhere in the bible, and you should be experiencing it in your life. Romans 12:1-2; 2 Tim.2:21; 1 Thess.4:3; John 17:17 where Jesus is praying to the Father. Yes we are declared justified by faith, and we are redeemed. We are sanctified (set apart) Heb.10:10 "Once for all." But, there is a sanctification process throughout our life which assures us that we are indeed justified (1John 3:18-19). As believers we knew this shorty after receiving the Holy Spirit. The first time we sinned after, we were like 'Oh Jesus, forgive me!' Did this happen to you?
@@olydriveramen there has to be a transformation. The Holy Spirit will work in us till we die. And he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
i overthink allot for example i say sorry and ask for forgiveness too god allot more than usual cause sometimes idk if its a sin or not for example if I get a thought of a bad word I say sorry and ask for forgiveness another example recently I was picking blueberries with my mom and I was throwing some of the blueberries towards her and I said something similar to ok that was the last one and then I threw another one so dose that mean i lied and constantly I’m typing in my notes every sin i feel i committed and i like repenting and saying sorry and ask for forgiveness but it gets frustrating when there are allot of things idk are even a sin that I’m saying sorry and asking for forgiveness for so many things and I feel like it’s the devil making me think I’m sinning but then idk if its true conviction of the Holy Spirit and even when I’m praying to god and telling him I’m a sinner i dont even tell him I know I’m a sinner i tell him I believe I’m a sinner because since I get doubts sometimes of his existence even tho I believe really strongly he’s real. I feel if I told him I know he’s real or that I know Im a sinner i over think and feel that telling him I know these thing might be considered as Lying to him because i dont know he’s real I just have a very strong belief and since I feel I just have strong belief he’s real and I don’t know I feel it could be lying to tell him I know I’m a sinner idk if anyone things like this but please someone help
Hey Aaron! I know how you feel. I struggle with a lot of the same things you mentioned. I think with repentance what we have to remember is that repentance is not just saying “God I’m sorry” repentance is saying “God I shouldn’t have done that and I know you wouldn’t have wanted me to do that. I want to turn from my ways and refocus on You and Your ways instead.” We all get thoughts like the ones you have sometimes and that’s why it’s important to take every thought captive before Christ. To examine everything that comes into our mind and think about what we know about God and whether or not these thoughts align with Him, His will, and His word. If it doesn’t align with God then repent. You may not have created the thought that comes into your head, you may not believe it or agree with it but I usually repent anyways. If you’re not sure if it aligns with God then think about God’s characteristics and what the Bible says about Him. Read the word. Talk with other Christians. As for whether or not you’re saved, I can’t say since I don’t know your relationship with God but if you believe that Jesus died on that cross for your sins then you are saved. In John 6:39-40 Jesus says “and this is the will of Him who sent me, that I shall lose none of those He has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” That means that even if you doubt Him sometimes, that doesn’t take away from your salvation. If you’ve accepted Christ, you don’t need to worry. God has you. Trust Him and His love that if He said He’s got you then truly He does. If you’re doubting God then I recommend watching some Mike Winger videos. He talks about evidence for God a lot on his channel and it’s been really helpful for me and my walk with Christ. I hope this was helpful. Don’t be afraid friend, God sees you and your struggles, bring your burdens to Him. Don’t forget to pray about this, I’m sure you are but bring this struggle before God and ask Him to guide you through it. God bless you friend.
Hey friend! Truth is, we are all sinful. We will all be sinful as long as we are in our sinful flesh. The moment you believe the gospel and trust Jesus, you're saved. No need to doubt your salvation. God is faithful when we are faithless. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Also, its really healthy to say sorry when you feel like you did something wrong. But also remember, youve already been forgiven. Hope this brings you peace.
The Bible say repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for remission of sin and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts2:8 We are to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus 2 Peter 3:18 , we have to examine ourselves , the fruit you bear, not fulling the flesh but walk on the spirit and I know we are not in the spirit 24 hrs a day read Galatians and Ephesians John the Baptist message was to repent you must repent all the time because we sin against God sometimes not knowingly. David said Lord keep me from my secrete sins and presumptuous sins.
There is nothing known as "once saved always saved" even as yhe Bible "See that your names are not BLOTTED out from the Lamb's book of life" to which it is required to keep the Faith unto the end
I hope someone responds to this comment; I would appreciate your input. Paul seems to be saying if a Christian does not continually grow in faith, grace and spiritual maturity; he/she was never a genuine christian. Am I misunderstanding him? I agree that genuine repentance and faith in Christ results in a changed life and lifestyle. There will be "fruit". The question is...how much fruit, and for how long? I went from congregational song leader, church bus driver, adult Sunday school teacher, lay preacher as a guest or fill in; and even officiating a few funeral services; I have personally led others to Christ, including family members. But I ended up backsliding completely out of church for over 5 years. I am back in church now, in fellowship with the Lord. I did NOT get saved again. What am I missing in this video? Thanks
Paul is saying that the saved "take up their cross and follow CHRIST" everyday. It's a sanctification process. I don't hear him saying that we can lose our salvation, I do hear him saying if we are not continuing in CHRIST then we don't have saving faith in CHRIST. saving faith responds to the LORD both in heart and deed. Not to earn salvation, but working out our salvation as we become Christ-like. I'm happy you came back to follow CHRIST our Lord, David. I think your return is an example of what Paul is talking about. Blessings to you dear brother. Amen!
He is a borderline Calvinist who believes God forces saved people to do works so if you don't have works you aren't saved. Hes a false teacher and I recommend you watch this video to learn the actual Gospel. God bless ua-cam.com/video/CLTAqJavYZU/v-deo.html
Paul Washer is a Calvinist, and Calvinism is a false gospel. Please don't fall for it. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He lived the sinless life I could never live. I believe He shed His blood for me on the cross. I believe He was buried and rose again on the third day. That is the ONLY evidence I look for in a believer, the faith in the facts, to determine if he or she is a brother or sister in Christ. Repentance is a change of mind that places trust in Christ alone, no longer in ourselves, but realizing it's all Him and none of us. He IS the narrow way and the strait gate and few will be that find it because it's in our nature to want to back-load legalism into the Gospel, but that's not what the Gospel is. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. PERIOD! There was a group of people Jesus spoke about in Matthew chapter 7, who came to him boasting, saying, "Lord, Lord didn't we do all these wonderful things in your name?". Jesus replied to them and said, "Depart from Me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you." Now, look at what you're saying in this comment. "I'm saved because I was a song leader, I'm saved because I was a church bus driver, I'm saved because I was a lay preacher, I did this, I did that..." None of that is going to get you into heaven, our best works are filthy rags and iniquity. None of that is evidence of salvation, even atheists can do all that and can reform their fallen flesh; they do it all the time! I'm so sick of pharisee preachers like Washer ripping verses about "fruit" completely out of context and taking the focus off Christ and putting it onto ourselves. If you've believed the Gospel (the Gospel of Christ, not the "gospel" of the Calvinists) then you are immediately sealed with the Holy Spirit according to Hebrews. Then you have eternal life, and eternal life isn't life on probation, it's eternal. He will never leave us nor forsake us, He is faithful even when we're unfaithful; we never lose fellowship with God. Church is NOT a building, it's the body of Christ here on earth, those who believe on Him alone. 99% of "churches" teach the gospel of Calvin or of Arminius, not the Gospel of Christ. Run, don't walk, from those churches and "preachers". Please check out Dr. Ralph Yankee Arnold's channel, or Gregg Jackson, or Renee Roland. These people will give you the straight deal on salvation by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone. And pray, asking the Lord to lead you out of any deception.
Brother who's righteousness are you relying on, what works,growth, or service is enough to ensure eternal life? No amount. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us" It is Christ's sanctification that secures our place in heaven. It is His righteousness that clothes us which secures our place in heaven. It is His blood that gives boldness to enter the holy of holies. Not our works. God requires perfection for those who look to their works to justify themselves. "Cursed is he who does not continue to do all things written in the law" Brother you were born of God when you believed in Christ, you are now his child, you may have been disobedient but still his child. God's will is our sanctification but remember You are saved by grace,stay saved by grace and only accepted in the beloved. Be blessed
In Act chapter 2, the Apostle Peter, on the day of Pentecost, preach to a group of people and 3,000 of them got saved on that very same day(on the spot). QUESTION: Why is this message not consistent with Acts chapter 2?
@@Rahullazarus I am is a present tense in the Greek not a past participle..so logical outworking tells if he believed he was then he would repent...daily..as he taught others to repent of their sinful nature.. Our nature doesn't change when we are born again what changes is the Holy Spirit becomes our helper "parakletos" to aid in our constant battle against the works of the flesh.
I hope to be saved from self righteous evangelists and preachers spreading BS, fear, and hate. Most of whom are only in it for the money. Be free of religious slavery.
Who said people believe because their afraid? And not all preachers or evangelists are self righteous. Can you tell me how every preacher is spreading hate or fear?
I cant control what other people beleiive or think. I can control my submission to a relationshiip with Christ. My life should be evidence of this saving grace given freely by jesus. Its difficult to beleive in grace when others are more concerned with your faith then their own and ready to persecute your mistakes rather than repenting of there own. In my own life at this very moment i can see how i must walk dillegently in faith and not give any reason for the wicked to point there fingers at me. Jesus performed miracles and they killed him. My faith will show through and expose this same wickedness thats been going on from the beguining of time until the end. Have faith in Christ. Not yourself. The lord is watching us all. Amen
Romans 4:5-8. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for HIS righteousness. With out His righteousness, no one will see God. Romans 4:7-8 Blessed is the man whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. John 3:18 Jesus paid our sin debt in full so we could never be condemned again. Romans 3:26-28 For He is the just and the justifier of them that BELIEVE in Jesus. Where is boasting then? IT is excluded. By what law? By the law of works? Nay, but by the law of FAITH. Therefore we conclude a man is justified by FAITH apart from the deeds of the law. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, physical death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The GIFT of God is eternal life. Not a reward for good behavior. A GIFT is paid in full by the GIVER. A reward is something you earn or work for. The GIFT of God is eternal life. Romans 11:29 For the GIFTS and calling of God are without repentance. Irrevocable, can not be changed back Repentance for salvation. It is the Greek word metanoia. It means to change your mind from trusting in what we do to save us to trusting in Jesus alone by faith alone to save us. Repent of sin saves no one. It is not in the bible. It says repent. change your mind and believe on Jesus as the only way of salvation by grace. Romans 11:6. Romans 1:16 First John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive our selves and the TRUTH is not in us. Christ died for sinners. Romans 11:6 Salvation by works never works. Amazing grace, Jesus paid it all and we paid 0. The GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Paid in full. John 3:18 No longer condemned to hell.
John 3:16-18 Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it. See all of you WHOSOEVERS IN HEAVEN. Jesus paid the debt we owe God and set us free. Romans 6:23 For the penalty of sin is death, and we all sin, and we all die, but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. A GIFT is paid for in full by the GIVER in advance of giving the GIFT. What a GIFT. Eternal life. No one can earn it. Romans 11:6 All grace, no works. First John 1:8. If we say we have no sin we are deceived and the truth is not in us. Only a sinner saved by grace. Grace means it is free. Jesus last words on the cross, IT IS FINISHED. That is an accounting term meaning paid in full. John 3:18 Repentance simply means to accept Jesus as the only way of salvation apart from works. It is the Greek word, metanoia which means to change your mind. When we believe on Jesus for eternal life, we have repented. Have a wonderful day knowing we are going to heaven based on God word. First John 5:13 We know that we KNOW that we have eternal life.
The gift of God is eternal life. Not a reward for good behavior. Romans 6:23 For the penalty for sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life. No one can earn heaven. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, HATH (present tense) EVERLASTING LIFE, and shall not come into judgement, but shall pass from death unto life. First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. Romans 3:26-28. Ephesians 1:13-14. Our guarantee of eternal life. Ephesians 4:30. First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. Acts 16:31. Period. Romans 1:16. The gospel. First Corinthians 15:1-4 John 6:47. God cannot lie. John 3:18.
First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. John 6:47 Gods word and He can not lie. John 3:16 Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it. John 10:28-29 No one can pluck us from His hand. Lordship salvation is works salvation and saves no one. Jesus paid the debt and set us free. John 3:18. John 6:40 and John 6:29. Ephesians 1:13-14 Our guarantee of eternal life. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit in whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. The rapture of the church.
@3:38 Paul Washer said this: "And the EVIDENCE that He has JUSTIFIED (saved) me is that He is now SANCTIFYING me. A person who can show no mark of the sanctifying work of God in their life has NO ASSURANCE that they have been JUSTIFIED (saved)!" Folks, this statement could not possibly be true in light of the day of Pentecost. 3000 people got saved in a single day (on the spot). There was no sanctification process to be evaluated in them, over that short period of time, yet they all were counted as SAVED. SANCTIFICATION COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE THE MAIN EVIDENCE OF SALVATION. WE WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE DAY OF PENTECOST AND ACTS CHAPTER 2 FROM THE BIBLE, IF IT WERE.
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
A loving God that God is, will move Heaven and Earth to come to one sinner and offer salvation to them in a way that they can understand and respond to. To the casual observer seeing some one sawing a persons arm off looks cruel and evil. But if you understood that it was the only way to save that persons life, it would really be the kindest act of mercy and love that could be imagined. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:27 That is why I do what I do with these heretics on sites like this. I desire what God desires! To preach the true gospel of salvation to every creature. Even the calvinist creatures. God is calling ALL Calvinists. Even Paul Washer. TRUTH IN LOVE
The thing non-Calvinists don't get about Calvinism is that the Calvinist recognizes that God knew all things even before He created anything. He knew even then who would be His. And He sent his Son to atone for them. (Because He knew that would be necessary because they would still sin.) There was never any point with the others. He was merciful to the others, yes, as He still provided His word, and He still sent the sun and rain. But He always knew how it would play out. They don't want God - at least, not as He is. And, as absolutely horrifying as getting what they want is, He is going to let them have it. There is no getting around predestination with an all-knowing God. He always knew.
@@alexandernorman5337 Utter Calvinist brain washing and foolishness! God knows everything that can be known, But there are things God cannot know. How dare I say that ? I don't! God tells us in His Word. Listen to what God is saying in these verses and come to your own conclusions. I have capitalized the words to consider. They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek, though I never commanded-NOR DID IT ENTER MY MIND- that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin. Jeremiah 32:35 God did this so that they would seek him AND PERHAPS reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. Acts 17:27 You must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you TO FIND OUT whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 13:3 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord REGRETTED that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. Genesis 6:5-6 When Jesus heard this, HE WAS AMAZED at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well. Luke 7:9-10 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 HE WAS AMAZED at their lack of faith. Mark 6:4-7 The words and phrases are crystal clear, directly communicated from Gods Word to mans ears. Only a person with a false agenda would twist them to conform to their church tradition. “nor did it enter my mind” “ perhaps” “to find out” “the Lord regretted” “he was amazed” “He was amazed” These are Gods Words to us and we must trust them to be true! In no way am I saying God is not as great as He is, or limited in any way! God by his Sovereign will has given to mankind and angels “Free Will” knowing full well that there would be unknowable consequences. TRUTH IN LOVE
What have u done. U said nothing yet your u tube name is truth?? Huh?? If you think that you can live your life and sin and never even think about UNTILL someone or something challenges you to test yourself. Or examine yourself. Then you are as lost as it comes my friend. Do not be offended or get angry. No take it as motivation to search the Bible and find out how to teat yourselves. If you don't measure up. Repent and believe. Seek and find. Don't find yourself on that broad path and be of the majority who says LORD LORD Haven't I done what i was commanded. There are not excuses. Im sorry. BUT U ARE SO FAR FROM TRUTH. THE ONLY REASON U RECEIVED THIS COMMENT IS BECAUSE I KNEW WHEN I READ WHAT U DID ABOUT WASHER U WERE WONDERING BLIND
I will prove to u that everything this man teaches is the truth. You are not if you do not believe this man. U may differ with almost everything but when it comes to BASIC fundamentals. Brother you need to seek and discern
@@jamesprays7533 The basic fundamentals of Paul Washer and John Piper ARE Reformed Calvinism. Read their words and tell me its just christianity? Read a quote of John Piper and decide for yourself who he represents: John Piper exact quote: "This includes-as incredible and as unacceptable as it may currently seem-God’s having even brought about the Nazis’ brutality at Birkenau and Auschwitz as well as the terrible killings of Dennis Rader and even the sexual abuse of a young child . . RAPE OF CHILDREN......BROUGHT NAZIS .... KILLINGS.... Really John Piper! This is your god that plans the rape of children? The following is the Good News Gospel of Jesus Christ to all that has made. 1 Timothy 2 : 3-6 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. Acts 2 :21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off-....

Is it true faith in Jesus Christ if I believe strongly but I still have doubts like I feel god is with me but at the same time I doubt my salvation cause i over think and I’ve always had this problem it’s helps too over think but it negatively affects me sometimes too like I believe god is real allot like allot but a part of me feels it’s possible that man made up the Bible and that always makes it to where I can’t know gods real I believe he’s real I have faith he’s real I just don’t know I’m like right under knowing I just don’t please help cause I believe jesus died on the cross for me and that believing in him saves me from all my sin but since I get doubts I feel that I’m not believing enough and i dont now how too cause no matter how hard I try I always get doubts even though I believe and since I get doubts it makes me think I’m not believing enough in Christ to be saved and then that Really makes me doubt my salvation and then that makes me feel that god sees me and that he just sees a man doubting him and man it just feels horrible because idk what too do i dont know what god wants me to do but I know he wants me to trust him so that I will do someone please respond and give me some help thank you I trust one of you will🙏👍😊
study the Bible every day Surround yourself with fellow Christians true Bible believer's tell them your concerns ask for prayer pray your self, and listen to the Bible that if you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and he died and was risen from the dead you will be saved
I heard somewhere that even the greatest men of God had doubts. Sometimes God leaves us alone to see how we react and how we conduct ourselves by what He thought us until that moment. Like when God let satan test Job in the Old Testament. Faith is the continuous choosing of God and fighting yourself in the moments of doubt and hardship. I am no pastor or a theology student but from what I read in the Bible and what I experienced with God is that sometimes He will let us in moments where we can choose to doubt or to keep having faith. Now think about it like this, you walk with God by holding hands and He will let go of your hand, will you try and reach for Him or will you say that He left you and now you won’t lift your hand to try and hold Him. I know how you feel, you feel sad for not trusting in Him because you would be sad too if someone you love wouldn’t trust you back when they should trust you fully and you’d be heartbroken for that. You’re have love in you, and how the Bible says “Those who don’t know love, don’t know God.” Just be strong and don’t forget, He will never abandon you and whatever wrong you could do if you’re honest and come to Him, you’ll always be welcomed with love. God bless you my dear brother. Be brave and courageous. ❤️
Look up Isaiah Saldivar "Spirit of Religion" and also watch some of his videos about spiritual warfare/demons. Demonization can make people doubt their salvation, even when they once knew the joy of it! I was in the same place just about a month ago.
The only way to be saved is to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. It doesn’t matter how much you go to church, it doesn’t matter how much money you tithe, How kind you are or how “good” you are, if you are not saved then you do not have eternal salvation. End of story. Trust the Lord.
@Rafael you test yourself against the sufficient word of God. You dont DO THE NEW TESTAMENT TO EARN SALVATION but you use it as a mirror to say is my life reflective of what im reading. Am I behaving like the Corinthian church and living lavishly or sinfully in the freedom Christ has bought me? I should repent. Am I under the bondage of sin? Am I confessing my sins to Christ? Heres a big one. Am I faithful to being in a church body? The church is a gift to the believer and we're called to be part of it, even if just in a local body. It is there to keep us accountable to one another in our sin and to have fellowship. Jesus had his disciples and friends, Paul had his many churches and Timothy and many he communed with, the churches Paul wrote to were all part of church bodies. Is it the building? No. We're called to be part of a bible teaching, scripture believing church so that we can be strengthened, taught, faithful, and accountable to one another. If youre not in a body, join one, and if that one isnt convicting you of sin or proclaiming Christ or acting as its supposed to, find a new one. God left us with the church for a reason. Its the hospital for Christians still living in a sinful world. Its not for nonbelievers to get saved as its primary purpose. Its meant for us to be strengthened and to worship and to also be vulnerable. Confess your sins to one another was NOT a suggestion, and our walk, while personal in nature, is one where we're called to be a part of Christ's bride, the church.
It starts with faith, James chapter 1. Accept Jesus as your Lord and redeemer. Confess sins to God, were all sinners. If you dont have faith, pray for it. In gospel of Matthew, a man begged Jesus to heal his son who had demonic spirit. Problem with this person, he lacked faith. He asked Jesus to help him with his faith, he was honest about it. Jesus did heal the boy. Second Timothy chapter 2, study to show yourself approved. A soldier doesn't get entangled in worldly affairs, his/her goal is to please God, the commander of the army. How can Jesus use someone that's biblically illiterate, to plant seeds for God, share truth with lost souls. John chapter 15, Jesus is the vine, Christians are the branches, the branches are pruned to produce more fruit. Your to increase in knowledge and wisdom of God's word. That's why Christian people study the bible, to help lost sheep. If someone rejects the seed you planted, dont waste time on that person, move on. If someone asks for help or questions, its green light. God can open doors and close doors. Only God can germinate that seed, a servant plants seeds and God decides if it germinates. God wants productive servants. If a employee is lazy and idle at a job, he/she is stealing time from their boss. At some point the boss will fire that person. God gives person many years to come full circle, after 40 or 50 years, your fired, unprofitable. God is fair, it's the lazy person who threw it away.
so very wrong...…..salvation is simple...it is believing and accepting the gospel as truth and when we do God alone seals us which is the proof of being saved......how we order our life and live is NOT the evidence or showing of a changed life......for even the ungodly can live a lifestyle that is identical to a saved persons lifestyle...…...washer says one little pray can not save and yet Jesus even said all we need to do is what God says and that's to believe on him who he sent period...no more no less.....only believe......we do not continually repent either......repent means to have a change of mind and turn form sin...for even God repented in the OT many times......washer teaches that unless you have works you will go to hell and that to is unbiblical...…..
What he says isn't biblical. it's a man made doctrine to try to please God . for salvation. But the only way to please God is by faith and not by continually repenting which sounds very catholic.-Eph 2: 8-9 8, For it is by grace you have been saved, """""""""through faith""""""""""-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Brother Washer repent and believe .Its not about what you do ,it's about what He didi for you.-shalom
How are we able to be sure that we have come to KNOW Jesus(i.e. saved)? Many claim to KNOW Jesus but they deny him by their WORKS, just like Paul said in Titus 1:16. They profess to KNOW God, but they deny him by their WORKS. They are detestable, DISOBEDIENT, unfit for any good WORK. And John tells us in 1 John 2:3-4 about the people that truly KNOW Jesus.
3 And by this we KNOW that we have come to KNOW him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I KNOW him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. So, the Bible clearly says that whoever says they KNOW Him but does not keep His commandments(plural) is a LIAR!! Plain and simple. The gospel that is taught to many people today has been reduced down to just "faith alone". This false gospel of "faith alone" has made following the commandments of Christ null and void. Obeying His commandments have been eliminated from the gospel and have been made subsequent and optional to salvation. Walking in the Spirit has been made optional as well. This false gospel of "faith alone" changes what Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 - For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Instead of following the biblical teaching on salvation in Christ, they follow this false gospel which tells them that they can be saved by "faith alone", apart from having to keep the commandments of Christ. By teaching that we do NOT need to keep the commandments(plural) of Christ as the gospel, the saving power of the gospel has been neutralized. The end result is that millions of people have been deceived by the devil's masterpiece into thinking they have eternal life in Christ when they actually do not. These people do not really KNOW Christ.
If you need evidence that you are saved, you have no chance. Faith alone will get you there. If you believe this then I have a tremendous business opportunity that may interest you. Just let me know and we will be in touch. Blessings.
In Acts chapter 10 the Apostle Peter and his companions knew that Cornelius and his entire household was saved in one single afternoon. QUESTION: Why isn't this message consistent with Acts 10?
It is consistent, isn't it? The household was saved, they repented and believed. Going by the Bible, their lives were changed and kept changing as they grew in sanctification.
@@cjlowder7089, There is an inconsistency in the fact that full assurance of salvation (for Cornelius and his household) occurred on the same day that they all heard and received the gospel message shared by the Apostle Peter. It did not take an extended period of time accompanied by a LIFESTYLE change to properly ascertain the salvation status of Cornelius and friends. They all were SAVED WITH FULL ASSURANCE of their salvation in a single afternoon. This is NOT what Mr. Washer teaches.
@@josephmass3052 this is exactly correct. Paul said "so that you may know you are saved". The moment you believe and trust the gospel/christ, you can rest assured that you are saved.
I think the point that Paul is trying to make is that once you are truly saved you will begin to grow in your faith and repent daily. So yes they were all saved because their minds were changed and the began lives as mew creatures (I believe with part of this change came daily repentance and the growth of faith). So yes he would agree that once you are truly saved you can rest assured. But those that are truly saved constantly strive for holiness out of our love and deep desire to please God. I dont believe the speaker would disagree with what you are saying i just believe he is adding more to it.
@@marthafrederick5109 i think the reason he says that so you know you are saved is from what he mentioned in the video. Many many people have surface level Christianity that doesnt actually go deeper than “oh i said i believed in jesus 10 years ago so i am saved”. There will be many that say Lord Lord and God will tell them he never actually knew them. Another way of putting it is James 2:19 “You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder.” I do agree that once someone is truly repentant they are saved because when God begins a good work in someone he will always finish it. Anyways this is my 2 cents on this conversation. Cheers👍🏻
TO ALL WHOM READ. I WOULD NOT COMMENT IF I WERE IGNORANT TO THE TRUTH. WHAT PEOPLE.GET WEARY OR EVEN CONFUSED ABOUT IS THIS. UNLESS U ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS. YOU MAY EVEN BE INSULTED ,, BUT WAIT TILL THE END. IF YOU ARE TRULY A SAVED CREATURE YOU WILL NATURALLY REPENT OF SIN IN YOUR LIFE. THE LEAST THAT YOU FIND YOURSELF SINNING THAT IS. FOR ONE TO TRULY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS TO HAVE A NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH THERE SIN. SO IF YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT YOUR SIN THE HOLY BIBLE TEACHES YOU SOULD BE VERY AFRAID. HERE COMES YOUR HOPE. SEEK GOD AND CRY OUT TO HIM ,,, REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL AND THE POWER OF GOD. BROTHER IN CHRIST JESUS JWT

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED 1. You have a conviction in your heart by the holy spirit. 2. You have a feeling of Joy that cannot be explained in words because your name is in the book of life. 3. You have a feeling that the World is nothing but Christ. 4. You have a feeling that you have something greater than what you have presently. 5. You have a feeling of PEACE within you. 6. You have a feeling of a newborn. 7. You have your polluted thought cleaned by the washing of water- spiritual. 8. You begin to see things DIFFERENTLY (that is you are not easily angered anymore, you are quick in forgiving, you are quick in admitting that you are wrong anytime you have done something wrong). 9. You have a TESTIMONY in your mouth that you are saved and TESTIMONY in your heart to speak about your new LOVE- Jesus. 10. You have a belief like that of PAUL for you to live is Christ(holiness inward and outward) and to die is gain( eternal life). 11. You have a sense of belonging (heavenly- feeling you are no longer the same person). 12. You begin to detest somethings( worldly- music, porn, falsification of nature- false eyelashes, false finger nails, false skin- bleaching, false lips, false hair etc). 13.

@@richardcartagena9083 excellent point-faith is not always felt. I think most believers can relate with these characteristics, at least I do. But being legalistic about it would be wrong, of course
We are not saved by feelings. We are saved by faith in Christ alone. But if someone is truly saved they will definitely have conviction from the Holy Spirit and feel remorse leading them to confess, repent and turn back to God and with a determination to not do that sin again.
Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather REJOICE (DICTIONARY: TO FEEL GREAT HAPPINESS ABOUT SOMETHING), because your names are written in heaven.
Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather REJOICE (DICTIONARY: TO FEEL GREAT HAPPINESS ABOUT SOMETHING), because your names are written in heaven.
So spend the rest of your life repenting and believing never knowing if it's enough to please God enough to save me. Sounds like a great assurance message trusting in Christ's finished work??????
Repentance biblically means Metanoia, change your mind, to go from believing in yourself and what you think will save you, to trusting in the one true Savior Jesus Christ and His redemptive work on the cross. "What must I do to be saved?" Believe in the name of Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved. It wasnt repent of all your sins and be saved, it wasnt repent of your sins and be baptized, or be perfectly obedient to the law and love God perfectly and love your neighbor perfectly. That is a works based salvation. If “the life we live” determines our eternal destiny,” (not Jesus’ perfect life, death for all our sins, burial, and resurrection from the dead on the third day),” then salvation is by works!! Lordship salvationists have a problem with Grace, they think you have to work for your salvation and to keep it. HE is our justification, sanctification and glorification. All of our sins past, present and future were forgiven at the cross.
I am not saved. I rejected Jesus Christ and grieved the Holy Spirit and I am going to hell. Please pray for my soul!! Please pray to God to give me one more chance to be saved. I know I don't have the Holy Spirit indwelling in me. Please pray for me. I'm a mess.
@nikkisfurkids5783 Don't embrace or listen to the false teachings of Paul Washer who is a FALSE TEACHER preaching the false gospel of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation which is WORKS SALVATION. If you want to be saved, BELIEVE on Christ and His finished work on the cross. The Bible says that eternal life is a free gift, that is not of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23. Salvation is a one time event that saves a person in a NANOSECOND for all eternity - John 5:24. Acts 16:30-31 - 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast. Romans 3:20 - Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. Romans 3:28 - For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Romans 4:2-6 - 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works. Romans 9:31-32 - but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? BECAUSE THEY PURSUED IT NOT BY FAITH BUT AS IF IT WERE BY WORKS. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. Romans 10:4 - For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. Galatians 2:16 - know that a person IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, BECAUSE BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. Galatians 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing. Galatians 3:6 - So also Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Galatians 5:4 - You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. Titus 3:5 - HE saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, Genesis 15:6 - Abraham believed the Lord, and HE CREDITED IT TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Hope this helps, God bless!
@nikkisfurkids5783 Sin is transgression of the law of God, but we are not under the law of God for salvation, we are under GRACE. Christ did what no man on the face of this earth could ever do, and that is fulfill the law of God in absolute sinless perfection - Matthew 5:17-18. It is Christ's imputed righteousness that justifies a person positionally before God, that is, His perfect fulfillment of the law, and His blood sacrifice and death on the cross. We all still commit sin by breaking the law of God in one way or another after we are saved, and that includes ME. We are not under the law for SALVATION. If we break the law, we will no doubt suffer the consequences including chastisement from God and other societal consequences, BUT we are still saved. After a person is saved, if the person goes out and commits a crime and gets caught, the person will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences of his/her actions including prison time and chastisement from God, BUT the person is still SAVED. Again, we are NOT under the law for salvation, but under the law because we live in a world that upholds the law which maintains order in society and if anyone breaks those laws, there will be consequences. If we commit adultery, we will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences and be subject to God's temporal judgment, BUT WE ARE STILL GOD'S CHILDREN. There are scores of saved pastors and lay people who commit adultery, but that does not mean they will "lose their salvation" or mean "they were never saved to begin with", if that's what you're thinking. Too many people let Calvinism and Arminianism contaminate their doctrine because of the prevalence of these 2 false doctrines that have permeated all the churches within mainstream Christianity. Christ's blood atonement and death on the cross did not free us from sinning, but freed us from the penalty of sin which is ETERNAL CONDEMNATION in hell and the eventual Lake of Fire. Again, all SAVED Christians still sin AFTER they are saved. Saved Christians will be freed from the old sin nature on the very day of the Rapture, but for now we all still sin no matter what, no matter how hard we try not to. The OUTER MAN, which is the FLESH, the old SIN NATURE still resides in all of us where we all still sin EXPERIENTIALLY after we are saved (Romans 7:14-25, Galatians 5:13) whether its sins of omission that we are not aware of and deliberate sins that we do. The OUTER MAN, the FLESH, which is the old SIN NATURE will not be eradicated until Christ returns at the Rapture to take and TRANSFORM us into perfect, sinless, eternal bodies - 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2. Philippians 3:21 - Who shall change OUR VILE BODY, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 1 John 3:2 - Beloved, now are WE ARE THE SONS OF GOD, and IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: but we know that, when he shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is. However, we have not died to our old nature in this earthly life and have not died to sin at the moment of faith. The old nature still resides in all of us (the flesh, the OUTER MAN) and will not be eradicated until the very day of the Rapture when Christ personally comes to take and transform us. That is the whole point of Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Again, we have NOT died to sin yet as we all still sin. That is why 1 John 1:8-10 and 1 John 2:1 was written. Our performance of good works before God is not in perfection as we all still sin AFTER our conversion. Our good works in this life contribute to the edification of others as PROFITABLE SERVICE - James 2:14-26, 1 John 3:17-18 and will earn us ETERNAL REWARDS at the future Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 when our earthly lives will be evaluated to determine the gain or loss of eternal rewards and the privilege of reigning with Christ in the Millennial kingdom - Revelation 2:26, Revelation 3:21, Luke 19:11-27. Hope this helps, God bless!
@nikkisfurkids5783 Here are Biblical examples of Godly people in the New Testament whom the apostle Paul affirmed are still saved despite their sinful deeds. The Corinthian Christians of the apostle Paul's time certainly would convince many people that they were "unsaved" or "had lost their salvation." Their lives were deplorable and were living in gross sin and immorality, but Paul affirmed the fact that they were saved in 1 Corinthians 3:1 as he addressed them as "brethren" that were "carnal babes in Christ". Paul would not have addressed them in that way if they were not saved. Paul addresses them as "brethren" in 1 Cor 2:1, as "brethren" and "carnal' "babes in Christ" in 1 Cor 3:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 4:6, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 10:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 11:2, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 12:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 14:20, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:58. (KJV) The above list in 1 Corinthians where Paul repeatedly addressed the Corinthian Christians as "brethren" is overwhelming evidence that these are saved people possessing eternal life. Paul would not have addressed them as "brethren" if they were not saved. When Paul addressed the Corinthian church they were living in sexual immorality, lawsuits, divisions, etc, at the very time when he wrote to them. Lordshippers just love to change the plain text and teach that Paul was referring to the Corinthians after they matured. NO, Paul was addressing and rebuking them in their present state while they were living in sin. It makes no logical sense for the apostle Paul to address and rebuke them if the Corinthians "grew" and matured. Paul addresses them as "Brethren" meaning they were saved, but he couldn't address them as spiritual and mature because they were not. They were saved, but CARNAL and BABES IN CHRIST who were still not growing as Paul said they were still drinking milk. 1 Corinthians 3:1 KJV - "And I, BRETHREN, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto CARNAL, even as unto BABES IN CHRIST." 1 Corinthians 3:2 - I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, YOU ARE STILL NOT READY. 1) 1 Corinthians 3:3 - there was ENVYING, STRIFE, and DIVISIONS among the Christians. 2) 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 - A CHRISTIAN MAN WAS HAVING SEX WITH HIS STEPMOTHER and consequently Paul pronounced judgment on this man in 1 Corinthians 5:5 where Paul says, "hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be SAVED on the day of the Lord". The Corinthian Christian's attitude regarding this man who was sleeping with his stepmother was one of PRIDE - 1 Cor 5:2 In 2 Corinthians 2:5-8, Paul gives an update on this man where we read that this man was chastened with CHURCH DISCIPLINE and that God had mercy on him and did not terminate his physical life. Paul instructs the church to forgive and comfort him so that he won't be overcome by excessive sorrow and to reaffirm their love and concern for him. 2 Corinthians 2:5-8 - But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was INFLICTED BY MANY. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to FORGIVE HIM, AND COMFORT HIM, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would CONFIRM YOUR LOVE TOWARD HIM. 3) 1 Corinthians 4:18 - there was ARROGANCE among the Corinthian Christians. 4) 1 Corinthians 6:7-8 - THERE WERE CHRISTIANS TAKING OTHER CHRISTIANS TO COURT and there was CHEATING among them. 5) 1 Corinthians 7:2 - there was FORNICATION among the Christians. 6) 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 - there were Christians EATING SELFISHLY, and there was DRUNKENNESS at the Lord's Supper. Because of their selfish indulgence of food and getting drunk God brought about SICKNESS and PHYSICAL DEATH as punishment - 1 Cor 11:29-30. Scripture is clear that there are indeed carnal Christians that are saved. It's not good or spiritually edifying that they are living in sin. God will CHASTISE them because they are His children, but they are still saved - Hebrews 12:5-11. The book of 1 Corinthians confirms the reality of carnal Christians who were living in sin and Paul affirmed that they are eternally saved by addressing them as "sanctified in Christ Jesus" and "saints" in 1 Cor 1:2. Paul also made it clear that he would deal with those who were sinning in the Corinthian Church with DISCIPLINE/CHASTISEMENT. This, of course, was not a threat against their salvation and eternal security. They were in danger of chastisement from God for their sinful actions and behavior - 2 Corinthians 13:2. Paul had already pronounced chastisement on the man who was sleeping with his stepmother in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5. All the other sinning believers were in the same danger of chastisement from God just like the ones who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper - 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 and their consequent chastisement of sickness and premature physical death where their life spans were cut short - 1 Corinthians 11:29-30. 2 Corinthians 13:2 - I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others. It appears that Paul was warning the Corinthian believers about imminent chastisement from God if they didn't heed his warnings to them. In 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, it clearly states that God had already dealt with some of the Corinthian Christians who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:20-22) by sending sickness and premature PHYSICAL DEATH where their life spans were cut short. Self-righteous Calvinists/Lordship Salvationists like PAUL WASHER and a host of others and Arminian/Lordship Salvationists will of course deliberately deny the existence of carnal Christians and would deliberately write off carnal Christians who are living in sin as "unsaved" or having "lost their salvation" despite overwhelming evidence from Scripture. Hope this helps, God bless!
@nikkisfurkids5783 1) Samson is a true man of God and at the same time a FORNICATOR - Judges 16:1 who led Israel for 20 years - Judges 15:20, Judges 16:31. The Bible is clear that he saw a prostitute and spent the night with her and what is described in Mark 7:20-23 and Galatians 5:19 was in Samson's heart at that very moment. Samson's last prayer just before his simultaneous murder/suicide was NOT a prayer of repentance, but was a request to God to strengthen him so that he could get REVENGE on the Philistines for the loss of his 2 eyes. Then in Judges 16:28-30, Samson commits a simultaneous MURDER/SUICIDE.Yet Samson is listed as a Godly man of faith in Hebrews 11:32. Samson would not be listed there if he was unsaved. 2) KING DAVID is a true man of God who struggled with LIVE PORNOGRAPHY and no doubt at that moment had sexual lust in his heart (Mark 7:20-23, Galatians 5:19) as he watched Bathsheba take a bath from the roof of his palace and then gave in to the temptation and committed ADULTERY/MURDER - 2 Samuel 11:1-21. This happened despite the fact that King David had over 6 wives at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David felt no conviction for his sins of adultery and murder because of the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to him and then gave orders for the murder of her husband, Uriah the Hittite. God had to send Nathan the prophet to WAKE HIM UP - 2 Samuel 12. God chastised King David with a series of painful consequences for the rest of his life - 2 Samuel 12:10, but his eternal salvation was never in question. King David is a true man of God and is called the "man after God's heart" - Acts 13:22, but the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to his palace obviously showed that King David felt NO CONVICTION. David sent an assistant to find out about her -2 Samuel 11:3 and was then informed that Bathsheba is MARRIED to Uriah the Hittite. Then despite knowing that fact about Bathsheba which should have deterred him, he instructs his assistants to bring her to him - 2 Samuel 11:4. Those chronological actions taken by David obviously shows that David felt no conviction about sleeping with another man's wife despite the fact that he was married to over 6 women at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David had all the sex that he wanted, but it appeared that his many wives were not enough to satisfy him. He later takes Bathsheba to be one of his many wives adding to the list after murdering her husband, Uriah the Hittite - 2 Samuel 11:26-27. He then gets her pregnant again. There is a big contrast between King David and his sexual lust for Bathsheba in comparison with Joseph and Potiphar's wife. It is important to note that Joseph was SINGLE at that time when Potiphar's wife tempted him on a daily basis. However, Joseph had strong GODLY CONVICTION and refused to give in and because of his strong Godly conviction, the Lord blessed Joseph wherever he went. Both King David and Joseph were SAVED Godly men, but the only difference is that King David had a total lack of Godly conviction when it came to sexual sin, but Joseph had strong Godly conviction. 3) Lot is a man of God, but we read in Genesis 19:6-8 that Lot offers up his 2 daughters for SEX to the homosexuals who surrounded his house and in Genesis 19:31-36 we read that he has SEX WITH BOTH HIS DAUGHTERS GETTING THEM PREGNANT. This was clearly a case of INCEST. Yet Peter refers to Lot as a RIGHTEOUS MAN in 2 Peter 2:7-8 and Peter would not have referred to him as "RIGHTEOUS" if Lot was unsaved. 4) Moses is a man of God who committed the MURDER of an Egyptian - Exodus 2:12. 5) Noah is a man of God who got DRUNK and WENT NAKED in his tent - Genesis 9:21. 6) Jacob is a man of God who was also a SWINDLER as he kept all the best livestock for himself, but left all the weak and defective ones for his father in law Laban. Jacob and his mother Rebekah are both LIARS and DECEIVERS as they both deceived Isaac in stealing the blessing meant for Esau - Genesis 27:1-29. Jacob spoke LYING WORDS of deception to Isaac. 7) Abraham is a LIAR as he lied about his wife Sarah being his sister - Genesis 20:2. People in the Old Testament were saved the exact same way as people in New Testament times, otherwise the apostle Paul would not have quoted Genesis 15:6 in Romans 4:2-6, and Galatians 3:5-8 in support of SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE APART FROM OUR WORKS. Galatians 3:5-8 - 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, OR BY BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEARD? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced THE GOSPEL IN ADVANCE TO ABRAHAM: “All nations will be blessed through you.” Hope this helps, God bless!
@@wtom04you are actually a liar! Paul washer dont believe in works based Salvation. He believes after being saved works will be evidence you have the Holy Spirit/saved!
repentance means "to change your mind" or "to turn away". when you repent you turn away from sin. repentance is honest and regretful acknowledgement of sin and commitment to turn away from it
@@DK-mb9wn Wow no mention of Jesus Christ for salvation in that paragraph. Paul I believe explained repentance very good. Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, We can turn from anything but what do we turn too? is the question. Repent is change of mind ( from not believing in Jesus to Believing in Him )
@@DK-mb9wn it means to change your mind right about that but it doesn't mean to change your mind about sin because you will always sin you always be a sinner so how could you change your mind about something you'll always do until you die?? Lol it means change your mind from unbelief to believe not anything about your sins you always be a ratchet sinner
If this Calvinism Paul Washer teaches is true, it means that God creates disposable people, people without any hope,” “It means that God not only allows, but micro-manages and sovereignly ordains, every war and every abortion and every rape of a child. It means that Calvin’s god does not love the world; he hates it because it is full of “totally depraved” individuals having apparently created us that way for his own glorification, or is it for his amusement? If Calvinism is true , it means that if that dying child that you held in your arms was not among the elect, then God did not love her. He never had any intention of loving her. She was nothing to Him. In fact, he would delight and find glory in her eternal torture in hell.” Who are really created in the image of then, God or satan? “And whenever I raise these points with Calvinists, all they can say is that I should be more grateful for my own salvation! It’s like, ‘as long as my eternal destiny is secure, as long as my life is all planned out and taken care of by God, who gives a damn about family, friends or anyone else!’ How can you be okay with that? How can anyone be okay with that? Why do I feel find this heresy morally offensive?” Only the devil should be at ease with such an abomination! According to Calvinism the lost hate God because God first hated them. They won't say it that way, but that's what it boils down to. Romans 16 : 17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Truth in love THINK ABOUT, REALLY THINK ABOUT IT! IS THIS WHO GOD IS?
Thesis 1 of Luther’s 95 thesis is that “the life of a Christian is a life of repentance”. Same thing that Paul Washer says here. Repentance is not a one time thing, you must continuously repent your entire life. Most evangelicals are lost, they were never born again, in spite of saying a prayer inviting Jesus into their hearts.
@@abrasos3814 Matthew3:8 Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. Matthew 3:10 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Matthew7:16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

@@Palopp85 I looked up Repentance for you, it is the word ( Metoneo ) in the Greek for the new testament, and it means ( change of Mind ) it is not asking for forgiveness. Matt 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance John was talking to the Pharisees and Sadducee's that came to his baptism. he is telling them did you bring a change of mind that we can see you want to believe in what he is preaching. That had nothing to do with bearing fruits READ THE CONTEXT. Matthew 7 is talking about ( false prophets ) WOLVES in SHEEP clothing and if you read the context it will show you that those wolves ( false prophets ) exposed their fruits by what they said out of their mouths. it sure wasn't what they did, for it says they prophesied, did miracles and many wonderful things so their fruits was not what they did but what they said. We did this and that IN YOUR NAME they lied, this is why Jesus said I NEVER KNEW YOU. He did not say I KNEW YOU ONCE but you backslide or you left me, nope He never knew them..... We all are exposed by what we say, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, its not what goes in the man that defiles him but, what comes out. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit neither a corrupt tree produce good fruit. You see the good fruit is what the Lord produces, NOT US. All we can do is produce bad fruit. because the righteousness of man is as filthy rags. Isa 64:6 This is why we can only Bear fruit the word ( BEARING ) is ( holding up, support ) if we are the branches and Jesus is the true VINE connected to us, HE will produce Good Fruit and we will bear it in ourselves as we are the branches and hold up the fruit. John 15. Read context my friend so you will not mislead people.
I genuinely and sincerely, from the bottom of my soul, believe Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, God the Son himself. I therefore take his warnings about losing our individual souls very very seriously. Because the simple truth is that Jesus is EXACTLY who he says he is, namely God himself and the consequences of NOT believing in him are very serious indeed. Jesus said if we do not put our faith in him before we die, we will be separated from him forever in a place Jesus himself called Hell. Just think of the shock at the moment we die when we find out Jesus was indeed God, and the die is cast. There will be no second chances. That is why I send these messages in the hope that they help someone to find the truth. Jesus is the Son of God, believe and be saved
If i thought i could lose my salvation THERE is NO way i would ever backslide EVER! Think about it It would mean that I just admitted to God that i am will to spend eternity away from Him, and His Only begotten Sons Blood didn't mean much to me. Now if I did backslide, then it would mean 1 of 2 things ; 1.) I really didn't think i could lose my salvation in the first place, but was just compromising my belief because i didn't want to lose position in church, friends, family members or just embarrass to admit the truth because of Pride. OR 2.) I never really believed in Jesus in the first place, but sure knew how to pretend. GET THE PICTURE PEOPLE.
@@lilggs4813 If i am a believer of losing salvation, would I ever backslide? Now if I did backslide, does that mean i understand where I am going and could care less? don't you see the point friend? No one actually believes they can lose their salvation, NO ONE!
@@lilggs4813 YES if someone would actually believe that they will go to hell if they backslide, they would never backslide, NEVER! If they were a believer. Who said Ravi went to hell? or heaven? read John 3:8. Jesus made it clear no can tell who has the Spirit of God in them.
@@abrasos3814 here are a few scriptures that explains endurance is required in order to be saved.... Matthew 24:13 KJV [13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 13:13 KJV [13] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 1 Peter 4:18 KJV [18] And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? John 5:34 KJV [34] But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. Revelation 21:7 KJV [7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation 3:21 KJV [21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Revelation 3:5 KJV [5] He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Revelation 2:26 KJV [26] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: Revelation 2:11 KJV [11] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Romans 12:21 KJV [21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. James 1:12 KJV [12] Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
@@abrasos3814 many go wrong in understanding how to know Jesus, Yes grace is given to those that believe in Jesus but in return you will be required to respond by a few things, sin no more, salvation is only for the obedient, good works worthy of repentance, love your neighbour, be a doer of the word, make sure in faith you establish the law, keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, if you wilfully sin there remain no more cross for you, .......... you are under the law of faith and not of the works of the law.
. Jesus died for our my sins in full so i don't have to myself..... believe that with all of your heart and you will be saved.. that's it.. not everyone who ask for salvation will be saved only the ones God gave jesus to save.. good luck.. and Jesus left the light on for those who lost there way.. I'm a prodigal son God showed me to read the bible every day.. he put me back on the right path .. God loves us yes he does.. read your bibles.. its the living word of God.. see ya on the other side.. stay safe..
You can be saved if you have 2 seconds of a life with grief of repentence for your sins. If you die repented you will be saved probably through purgatory so It's never too late to ask forgivenes while you still breath. The only danger stays if you don't want to regret for your sins.
Repent and forsake your sins. TRUST in JESUS Christ and his sacrifice on the cross. There is coming a day when the LORD will judge the world in righteousness. Hell awaits all sinners including lukewarm christians. JESUS says go and sin no more so if you loved him you would OBEY HIM.
The Father is not the saviour, that is the role of the Son, The Messiah, The Lord Jesus, The Christ! They are taught by the Father as this verse shows: and the Father sends them that believe that God exists to the Son. It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. John 6:45 So when Jesus said that: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. John 6:44 It is simple saying that the Father makes all men aware that God exists and sends those who respond to Jesus. BUT! not all men will respond even though they have no excuse. They know God exists but they made their choice. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools Romans 1:21-22 Paul verifies this to Timothy: This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. 1 Timothy 2 : 3-6 The Holy Spirit comes into play in a special way only once a person whom the Father sends to the Son for salvation. Those who willingly desire to be right with God. Those who Repent and are Baptized. JESUS John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. TRUTH IN LOVE
Jesus does not love you. He will reject you, and you know it. Luke 6: 21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

Churches of men, also called christians, hear The Truth regarding the matter from your Redeemer Himself whom you call Jesus. He has spoken to our generation, more of His Volumes is found at the bottom of this comment; "1/7/10 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear Thus says The Lord: Beloved ones, I am The Answer you search for, The Truth you seek - The Only Way, The Only Truth, The Only Life. Apart from Me there is nothing of any value; apart from Me there is no life. Therefore who you choose, not what you choose, is the answer. For who you choose defines what you do. And whosoever chooses another, and not Me in truth, has chosen themselves, and has done according to their own will. Thus those who embrace My words Have taken the first steps in the Knowledge of how to truly abide in Me... Indeed, those who have written This wisdom upon their heart Have already crossed the threshold... I am The Lord." ~ "2/4/10 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear This question was asked of The Lord: Lord, by putting You first, and refusing to take part in the modern holidays of men, are we dishonoring our parents and family who say we should take part? Thus says The Lord YahuShua: Beloved, a sincere desire to be free from the iniquity of this world is good and well-pleasing to The Lord. For one who truly loves Me seeks to please Me. And those in whom I dwell will run from these holidays of men, which I hate, despising them. Yet one who remains in disagreement with My Word in the Volumes can in no wise be gathered, for they have denied Me. And any who reject My Word, in favor of the doctrines and traditions of men, embrace that which runs contrary to Me. For I tell you the truth, anyone who refuses, disagrees with, or speaks against My Letters or My prophet has rejected Me in favor of their own way. Pride has ensnared them, and arrogance has become their close friend. Behold, they have embraced the world and its evil ways, and seek not the approval of their Father in Heaven, but of men. And all who seek the approval of men must walk through the valley with them; and all who remain friends of the world have made themselves enemies of God, as it is written.[1] Therefore all lovers of the world shall surely be left in it; they shall not escape! For assuredly, I say to you, this world shall be shaken and the glory of men shall be broken down! And in like manner shall all those left in the world be humbled, severely abased - many broken and uplifted, and many more broken and condemned, says The Lord. Therefore concerning these holidays Of men, which I hate... Let all those who have received The love of the Truth depart from them; Let the division be made clear[2]... And let those who say they know Me, Yet make no effort to pick up their Cross and follow Me,[3] bear the weight Of their burden in the Day of The Lord. Therefore, concerning the question of breaking one Commandment in favor of another, the answer is this: I AM FIRST, of which The Commandments also testify. For those who truly love Me seek to obey My voice, and those who obey My voice have also fulfilled The Moral Law. For I am, and have always been the goal at which the Torah aims.[4] And all those in whose heart I am foremost serve Me without constraint, seeking always to place Me first, above all else. For these walk in My ways, doing those same things I did. They do not add to the Word which I have commanded them, nor do they take away from it. Behold, they keep The Commandments of God, as He commanded them and as they are written, and not as the churches of men would have them be." www.thevolumesoftruth.com
Scaremongering preaching and wrong doctrine for salvation. Salvation is about the finished work by Christ at the cross. Not about anythin you do. Once you believe and trust in His work for you and not your own good works for Him you are saved and spiritually baptized into his death and risen to life with him. You are sealed with The holy Spirit and set in heavenly places and secure in Christ. You will still be a sinner in your flesh but God has put away your sins and no longer remembers them. Salvation is a gift and so is your belief in Him and His Son. In my opinion with his angry speech Paul Waher here destorts and complicates everything about salvation and being a Christian. Contiually repenting of your sins? No, you are sorry for your sins and under the grip of his abundant grace and thank Christ that he has already forgiven the sins once and for all 2000 years ago. When you were saved God has started the good work in you and given us grace and not condemnation. You can only be thankful about what a loving God we have. He is no longer angry, Paul Washer. So relax a bit. He just wants everyone to come to the knowledge of the truth. Those who do not come to believe in this life or never have heard about Jesus, will meet him in their ressurection and hear his voice. Like the Bible says ... and every man shall bow his knee willingly and confess his name in consent! God will have everyone saved , the Bible says and what he purposes to do he will complete to perfection in due time, because he is a sovereign God. But that is a different theme... Peace and grace.
@@Mic1904 There are lots of verses in the Bible that states this and that every man will ultimately be saved. Organised religion or "Christendom" has failed to see this , and instead made God a small and losing God, unable to restore and save most of his creation. God says he will have everyone saved and of course what God intends to do, he in due time will perform to perfection. Do not take my words for it to be the the truth though. I am not a scholar, anyway. If you are interested though, I will recommend the videos and internet channel of Grace Bible Community Church. Pastor Rodney Beaulieu of this grace church opened my eyes to a new understanding of the Bible and the salvation of all through a series of videos about this. A good start would be to watch the video "Gods Masterplan For His Creation" If you are interested , though. God Bless !
@@Mic1904 Well, you do not seam to bother much.I recommended a video for you which would present and elaborate a lot of verses about the salvation of all... Anyway here are two verses you can ponder on for a start: Jesus saying in John 12:32 - When I am lifter up from the earth,I will draw everyone to me. Paul saying in 1.Tim. 4:10-12 -For therefore we suffer reproach,because we trust in living God,who is the Savior of all men,specially of those who believe. These things command and teach.
@@karekvangarsnes3169 Two immediate issues here. "Because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe". If, as you say, God will save all men, then in what possible way is He the Saviour 'especially' in a unique, different or special way of those that believe? Secondly, the following verses - while this might seem like a number of verses and questions, they're really only on one main theme, which is how can the Bible describe people going to some manner of eternal punishment if they are saved: John 5:29 "and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment." _(Some resurrected to life, but contrasting with some who are resurrected to judgment - which is clearly distinguished as something different from the 'life' that the others get - what is that judgment?)_ 2 Thessalonians 1:9 "These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power," _(How can their destruction be eternal and away from God, if they will be saved. I can even understand if you claimed this verse was about annihilationism where sinners are destroyed entirely, but either way, how can their penalty and destruction be eternal if they are saved?)_ Matthew 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." _(Why will anyone be departing from God, and departing into eternal fire - whether eternal conscious suffering or annihilation and total destruction - if all are to be saved?)_ John 3:36 "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." _(Why? If all will be saved, why will they not see life? Even if you believe people must be purified first, why doesn't this verse say, 'whoever does not obey the Son shall not immediately see life, and the wrath of God remains on him for a time'. Why does God's wrath _*_remain_*_ , and why will they not see life, if they are saved?)_ Daniel 12:2 "And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." _(Why is their shame and contempt everlasting, if they will be saved? And why are only some described as having everlasting life? The everlasting shame and contempt of some is clearly contrasted with the everlasting life of others)_
I know that I’m saved because I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. And so is anyone else who believes this. I don’t know about you, but Mr. Washer here wants you to really look at yourself instead of at Christ. I mean it sucks to stare at yourself and see how imperfect you are. It’s depressing. And look at Paul Washer’s picture on this video. Why is he so angry? Where’s the joy of his salvation? I don’t see it.
One thing I noticed after I was saved is how much I hate my sin and then on top of that is that I hate that I don't hate my sin more than I do.
Sin, in the cowboy di"ctionary, is defined as "anything thatsy fun."
Did you believe the gospel that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day?

“…salvation is freely offered to some while others are barred from access to it.”

@@truth7416Be careful how you word things. Yes Jesus died for the sins of the whole world so that whosoever wants to come can come. Absolutely! You still can't ignore passages that say while Jacob and Esau were still in the womb Jacob God loved and Esau he hated... Peter talks about being known before the foundation of the world... Pharoah's heart was hardened it says... These things are all true and need to be considered.
@@Jonas-ze9eu Look I am only here to help those who are deceived by the Devil's schemes. You Mention Jacob and Esau. I do NOT ignore this, I embrace it it truth. But real truth is different than when you are programmed to believe it to conform to a false doctrine.
Let it go for a minute and read what Jacob and Esau is really saying.
Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad-in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: 12not by works but by him who calls-she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” Romans 9: 11-13
NOTE "Just as it is written!" Well where is it written? It is written in Genesis 25: 23!
The Lord said to her, (Rebekah)
“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger.”
It was talking about nations not individuals! In there lives the older DID NOT serve the younger. But the Nations did!
When the Bible referred to Esau and Jacob it was referring to THE NATIONS THEY REPRESENTED NOT THE INDIVIDUALS.
The Older never served the younger brother in their lives. The nations they started did.
TRUTH IN LOVE
@@Jonas-ze9eu You said in error "BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD" That is a Calvinist invention to fit their doctrine. It really says:
"Our names were written in Heaven before the foundations of The Earth" That is a lie!!
Calvinists, have altered the biblical text of “from the foundation of the world,” and made it “before the foundation of the world.” The King James Version reads: “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
Revelation 13:8 And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast- all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.

My whole Christian lifetime I have longed for discipleship & fellowship with believers. Find it difficult to learn on my own & trust my thoughts to be God's or mine. Have never been personally discipled or in a small group where people share & grow close.
Is there a local church near where you stay? Visit a few if you need to and pray for wisdom to know which to settle in.
Please find a local church where the gospel is preached every Sunday and fellowship with believers there so you can make friendships there.
By grace are you saved, not of works lest any man should boast.

Perfect sermon! Good works and holy life is not a means of Salvation, but they are the evidence of Salvation. Faith without good works is dead as said in James 2: 21-23
After knowing the knowledge of Christ we cannot go and serve sin and bring dishonor to the name of Jesus Christ.
Your James reference isn’t saying faith without works is dead, as in lost.
Always with the “salvation isn’t from works, but …”
If good works and holy living are the evidence for salvation, how did the Apostles know that 3000 people got saved(on the spot) on the day of Pentecost, since there was not enough time for any of the 3000 to have engaged in holy living, or to have accumulated any significant amount of good works?

Hebrews 7:27
Who needeth NOT DAILY, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he DID ONCE, when he offered up himself.
Jesus did it once that's all, He doesn't come down every time some one sins and Goes back on the cross for them.
Hebrews 9:26
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but NOW ONCE in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Jesus didn't say to us that accepted him/believed/asked for forgiveness.....that I forgive you of your sins, as long as you do everything perfect from here on out you will have eternal life. No, he didn't. Once you're saved, you're saved. Otherwise it wouldn't be saved by grace, it would be saved by works.

Exactly.
True, but also knowing that this whole world is built on idol worship even down to our holidays, those Yahuah hates and they are all pagan…we have been deceived and lied to about whom God is…even the idols in the churches of men like Jesus on the cross are considered a Heaven image…We have been deceived greatly

Thank you!
this is a works based salvation
it isnt.. faith without works is dead read james 2. what paul washer is explaining is after you are truly saved you become a new creature your heart and mind begin to change. your old desires are no longer your priority but isntead it is God. You start to repent and turn away from sin not because any of this saves you but because of what Christ did for you on the cross. this isnt works based salvation but a deeper explanation of what happens when someone is saved they turn away from sin they "repent" an active life style as repent isnt solely an after you sin activity but an every day activity. Example: tempted to look at porn instead you repent and turn to God for help you go into prayer or reading the bible. not because any of this saves you but because you are saved you do this.

For it is by grace that we have been saved through faith not of works it is the gift of God
If it is by grace it is no longer on the merit of works otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Let repentance and living for godliness be for the glory of God and his kingdom because you love him not because you need to do something to be saved but rather because you are already saved through what Christ Jesus has done on the cross.
James 2 speaks on the profitability of your works unto others. While all things are lawful not all things are profitable. If your faith has no works then it is of no benefit for others who are not saved nor is it beneficial to yourself or fellow brothers it is dead.
No matter how we try no matter how we repent, there's nothing we can do about sin,... it's within us it's in our nature, no amount of works for us to do to save our selves but the blood that poured on us by the our Lord Jesus Christ, cleanse us, and by the Holy Spirit sealed us unto the day. no man is good enough, for non is righteous no not one, for all have sinned and fall short in the Glory of God. The Lord Jesus Christ has paid it already on the cross, He died instead of us.
You say this because you do not know God. You do not know the truth. 1 John 3, 1Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. 2Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears,a we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. 3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.b
4Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.c 5But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
7Little children,d let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.e 8The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
9Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has born of God. 10By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

First Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness, but unto us who are saved it is the POWER of God. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to them that believe, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. John 3:18 Believers are no longer condemned to hell, but unbelievers are condemned already because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God. First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. John 6:47 God can not lie. Romans 4:5-8.
Romans 3:26-28 For He is the just and the justifier of them that BELIEVE in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? By the law of works? Nay, but by the LAW of FAITH. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH apart from the deeds of the LAW. First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. But, only those who believe it are saved.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, physical death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. The GIFT of God is eternal life. Not a reward for good behavior, but a free GIFT.
Ephesians 1:13-14 Our guarantee of eternal life. John 10:28-29. No one can pluck us from HIs hand. Gods word, and He can not lie. Repentance for salvation is a change of mind. Metanoia. We quit trusting in what we do to save us to trusting totally in what Jesus did to save us. John 3:16 Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Period. John 6:47. Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it.

But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
Jas 2:18
We are saved by grace alone through faith alone. And faith without works is no faith.
The works that many preachers talk about are not works that we ourselves do in order to be saved or works that we do in order to prove to other people that we are saved, the works that these men talk about are works of the Holy Spirit. Inward works that the Holy Spirit does in the heart of a believer that are shown outwardly by a believer.

I am amazed at how many churches don't have a genuine altar call.
It is true that repentance is an on going process that will last our whole lifetime. However, it's so much more accurate to say, "the moment God gave me the gift of belief and repentance, then I believed and was justified." To say it another way, one simply can't believe or even repent of any sin unless God gives them that gift of believing or repentance. Most people I talk to disagree with me as they put the "Cart before the Horse'"
This is true, a man cannot know that he is lost and in need of salvation unless God makes it known to that man that he is lost and needs salvation. A preacher or pastor or priest can tell you that you need to be saved but until YOU know within yourself through the convicting power of the Holy Spirit that you need to be saved there can be no true salvation because there is no true conviction of sin without the Holy Spirit.
@Springfeel25 Yes, yes! It is so refreshing to hear salvation and the need for it explained so accurately. Praise God for that, brother! You're in small company by God's grace.

Paul Washer teaches faith plus works and feelings
So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
James 2:17
Faith without works is dead.
Why ?
Because good works is evidence for being saved not what saves us but what comes after we are saved, the Holy Spirit is recreating us into Christ's image until we meet God.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6
@@MyLordAndMyGodJesusChrist The verb for save is sōzō. It means "to preserve or rescue from danger." That danger can be earthly or eternal depend- ing on the context. Context is key! Sōzō appears five times in James. What kind of salvation is it?
Two uses are absolutely about earthly salvation! Salvation from sickness (James 5:15)
Salvation from death (James 5:20)
And if you look at the context, so are the other three: Salvation from physical destruction (James 4:12)
Salvation from poverty (James 2:14)
Salvation from the deadly effects of sin (James 1:21; cf. v 15)
Conclusion: Paul and James did not contradict each other! While Paul taught that eternal salvation is by grace, through faith, apart from works (Eph 2:8-9), James taught that earthly salvation depends on works. God cares about both!

Romans10.9 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It's not a trick question folks. It's a clear and straightforward question.
What each of you need to consider is that if you cannot answer this question, then it may very well be that this teaching is incorrect. 🛑
Good point about the 3,000!
From what I have learned is that once you are called upon by God, you will ask God for mercy on you and ask for forgiveness of your sins, (Repentance). Your faith in Jesus Christ that he died for you on the cross and rose again in 3 days along with repentance of your sins to God will you be saved. Once you have been baptized by the Holy Spirit then the Holy Spirit will place conviction in your heart to repent of your sins on a daily basis. May not be the same sins already repented for but sins that you do while growing in your faith. Anger, Pride, Jealousy, Hate, Lying, etc.. The list goes on and on, however in your heart and head you will no longer want to do these things but Satan deceives and tries to get you to do them anyways.
Once you are baptized by Jesus of the Holy Spirit, you will no longer desire the ungodly things of this world. But we do sin, we live in a broken society that is sinful. It's simple though, Repent of your sins to God, trust and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and read your Bible daily.
God Bless you all...

@TAQ2Music Don't embrace or listen to the false teachings of Paul Washer who is a FALSE TEACHER preaching the false gospel of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation which is WORKS SALVATION. If you want to be saved, BELIEVE on Christ and His finished work on the cross. The Bible says that eternal life is a free gift, that is not of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23. Salvation is a one time event that saves a person in a NANOSECOND for all eternity - John 5:24.
Acts 16:30-31 - 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast.
Romans 3:20 - Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Romans 3:28 - For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Romans 4:2-6 - 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works.
Romans 9:31-32 - but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? BECAUSE THEY PURSUED IT NOT BY FAITH BUT AS IF IT WERE BY WORKS. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.
Romans 10:4 - For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
Galatians 2:16 - know that a person IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, BECAUSE BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED.
Galatians 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.
Galatians 3:6 - So also Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Galatians 5:4 - You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Titus 3:5 - HE saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
Genesis 15:6 - Abraham believed the Lord, and HE CREDITED IT TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Hope this helps, God bless!
@TAQ2Music Sin is transgression of the law of God, but we are not under the law of God for salvation, we are under GRACE. Christ did what no man on the face of this earth could ever do, and that is fulfill the law of God in absolute sinless perfection - Matthew 5:17-18. It is Christ's imputed righteousness that justifies a person positionally before God, that is, His perfect fulfillment of the law, and His blood sacrifice and death on the cross. We all still commit sin by breaking the law of God in one way or another after we are saved, and that includes ME.
We are not under the law for SALVATION. If we break the law, we will no doubt suffer the consequences including chastisement from God and other societal consequences, BUT we are still saved. After a person is saved, if the person goes out and commits a crime and gets caught, the person will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences of his/her actions including prison time and chastisement from God, BUT the person is still SAVED.
Again, we are NOT under the law for salvation, but under the law because we live in a world that upholds the law which maintains order in society and if anyone breaks those laws, there will be consequences. If we commit adultery, we will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences and be subject to God's temporal judgment, BUT WE ARE STILL GOD'S CHILDREN. There are scores of saved pastors and lay people who commit adultery, but that does not mean they will "lose their salvation" or mean "they were never saved to begin with", if that's what you're thinking. Too many people let Calvinism and Arminianism contaminate their doctrine because of the prevalence of these 2 false doctrines that have permeated all the churches within mainstream Christianity.
Christ's blood atonement and death on the cross did not free us from sinning, but freed us from the penalty of sin which is ETERNAL CONDEMNATION in hell and the eventual Lake of Fire. Again, all SAVED Christians still sin AFTER they are saved. Saved Christians will be freed from the old sin nature on the very day of the Rapture, but for now we all still sin no matter what, no matter how hard we try not to. The OUTER MAN, which is the FLESH, the old SIN NATURE still resides in all of us where we all still sin EXPERIENTIALLY after we are saved (Romans 7:14-25, Galatians 5:13) whether its sins of omission that we are not aware of and deliberate sins that we do.
The OUTER MAN, the FLESH, which is the old SIN NATURE will not be eradicated until Christ returns at the Rapture to take and TRANSFORM us into perfect, sinless, eternal bodies - 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2.
Philippians 3:21 - Who shall change OUR VILE BODY, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
1 John 3:2 - Beloved, now are WE ARE THE SONS OF GOD, and IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: but we know that, when he shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is.
However, we have not died to our old nature in this earthly life and have not died to sin at the moment of faith. The old nature still resides in all of us (the flesh, the OUTER MAN) and will not be eradicated until the very day of the Rapture when Christ personally comes to take and transform us. That is the whole point of Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Again, we have NOT died to sin yet as we all still sin. That is why 1 John 1:8-10 and 1 John 2:1 was written. Our performance of good works before God is not in perfection as we all still sin AFTER our conversion. Our good works in this life contribute to the edification of others as PROFITABLE SERVICE - James 2:14-26, 1 John 3:17-18 and will earn us ETERNAL REWARDS at the future Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 when our earthly lives will be evaluated to determine the gain or loss of eternal rewards and the privilege of reigning with Christ in the Millennial kingdom - Revelation 2:26, Revelation 3:21, Luke 19:11-27.
Hope this helps, God bless!
@TAQ2Music Here are Biblical examples of Godly people in the New Testament whom the apostle Paul affirmed are still saved despite their sinful deeds. The Corinthian Christians of the apostle Paul's time certainly would convince many people that they were "unsaved" or "had lost their salvation." Their lives were deplorable and were living in gross sin and immorality, but Paul affirmed the fact that they were saved in 1 Corinthians 3:1 as he addressed them as "brethren" that were "carnal babes in Christ". Paul would not have addressed them in that way if they were not saved.
Paul addresses them as "brethren" in 1 Cor 2:1, as "brethren" and "carnal' "babes in Christ" in 1 Cor 3:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 4:6, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 10:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 11:2, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 12:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 14:20, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:58. (KJV)
The above list in 1 Corinthians where Paul repeatedly addressed the Corinthian Christians as "brethren" is overwhelming evidence that these are saved people possessing eternal life. Paul would not have addressed them as "brethren" if they were not saved.
When Paul addressed the Corinthian church they were living in sexual immorality, lawsuits, divisions, etc, at the very time when he wrote to them. Lordshippers just love to change the plain text and teach that Paul was referring to the Corinthians after they matured. NO, Paul was addressing and rebuking them in their present state while they were living in sin. It makes no logical sense for the apostle Paul to address and rebuke them if the Corinthians "grew" and matured. Paul addresses them as "Brethren" meaning they were saved, but he couldn't address them as spiritual and mature because they were not. They were saved, but CARNAL and BABES IN CHRIST who were still not growing as Paul said they were still drinking milk.
1 Corinthians 3:1 KJV - "And I, BRETHREN, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto CARNAL, even as unto BABES IN CHRIST."
1 Corinthians 3:2 - I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, YOU ARE STILL NOT READY.
1) 1 Corinthians 3:3 - there was ENVYING, STRIFE, and DIVISIONS among the Christians.
2) 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 - A CHRISTIAN MAN WAS HAVING SEX WITH HIS STEPMOTHER and consequently Paul pronounced judgment on this man in 1 Corinthians 5:5 where Paul says, "hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be SAVED on the day of the Lord". The Corinthian Christian's attitude regarding this man who was sleeping with his stepmother was one of PRIDE - 1 Cor 5:2
In 2 Corinthians 2:5-8, Paul gives an update on this man where we read that this man was chastened with CHURCH DISCIPLINE and that God had mercy on him and did not terminate his physical life. Paul instructs the church to forgive and comfort him so that he won't be overcome by excessive sorrow and to reaffirm their love and concern for him.
2 Corinthians 2:5-8 - But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was INFLICTED BY MANY. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to FORGIVE HIM, AND COMFORT HIM, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
Wherefore I beseech you that ye would CONFIRM YOUR LOVE TOWARD HIM.
3) 1 Corinthians 4:18 - there was ARROGANCE among the Corinthian Christians.
4) 1 Corinthians 6:7-8 - THERE WERE CHRISTIANS TAKING OTHER CHRISTIANS TO COURT and there was CHEATING among them.
5) 1 Corinthians 7:2 - there was FORNICATION among the Christians.
6) 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 - there were Christians EATING SELFISHLY, and there was DRUNKENNESS at the Lord's Supper.
Because of their selfish indulgence of food and getting drunk God brought about SICKNESS and PHYSICAL DEATH as punishment - 1 Cor 11:29-30.
Scripture is clear that there are indeed carnal Christians that are saved. It's not good or spiritually edifying that they are living in sin. God will CHASTISE them because they are His children, but they are still saved - Hebrews 12:5-11. The book of 1 Corinthians confirms the reality of carnal Christians who were living in sin and Paul affirmed that they are eternally saved by addressing them as "sanctified in Christ Jesus" and "saints" in 1 Cor 1:2.
Paul also made it clear that he would deal with those who were sinning in the Corinthian Church with DISCIPLINE/CHASTISEMENT. This, of course, was not a threat against their salvation and eternal security. They were in danger of chastisement from God for their sinful actions and behavior - 2 Corinthians 13:2. Paul had already pronounced chastisement on the man who was sleeping with his stepmother in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5. All the other sinning believers were in the same danger of chastisement from God just like the ones who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper - 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 and their consequent chastisement of sickness and premature physical death where their life spans were cut short - 1 Corinthians 11:29-30.
2 Corinthians 13:2 - I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others.
It appears that Paul was warning the Corinthian believers about imminent chastisement from God if they didn't heed his warnings to them.
In 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, it clearly states that God had already dealt with some of the Corinthian Christians who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:20-22) by sending sickness and premature PHYSICAL DEATH where their life spans were cut short.
Self-righteous Calvinists/Lordship Salvationists like PAUL WASHER and a host of others and Arminian/Lordship Salvationists will of course deliberately deny the existence of carnal Christians and would deliberately write off carnal Christians who are living in sin as "unsaved" or having "lost their salvation" despite overwhelming evidence from Scripture.
Hope this helps, God bless!
@TAQ2Music 1) Samson is a true man of God and at the same time a FORNICATOR - Judges 16:1 who led Israel for 20 years - Judges 15:20, Judges 16:31. The Bible is clear that he saw a prostitute and spent the night with her and what is described in Mark 7:20-23 and Galatians 5:19 was in Samson's heart at that very moment.
Samson's last prayer just before his simultaneous murder/suicide was NOT a prayer of repentance, but was a request to God to strengthen him so that he could get REVENGE on the Philistines for the loss of his 2 eyes. Then in Judges 16:28-30, Samson commits a simultaneous MURDER/SUICIDE.Yet Samson is listed as a Godly man of faith in Hebrews 11:32. Samson would not be listed there if he was unsaved.
2) KING DAVID is a true man of God who struggled with LIVE PORNOGRAPHY and no doubt at that moment had sexual lust in his heart (Mark 7:20-23, Galatians 5:19) as he watched Bathsheba take a bath from the roof of his palace and then gave in to the temptation and committed ADULTERY/MURDER - 2 Samuel 11:1-21. This happened despite the fact that King David had over 6 wives at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David felt no conviction for his sins of adultery and murder because of the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to him and then gave orders for the murder of her husband, Uriah the Hittite. God had to send Nathan the prophet to WAKE HIM UP - 2 Samuel 12.
God chastised King David with a series of painful consequences for the rest of his life - 2 Samuel 12:10, but his eternal salvation was never in question.
King David is a true man of God and is called the "man after God's heart" - Acts 13:22, but the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to his palace obviously showed that King David felt NO CONVICTION. David sent an assistant to find out about her -2 Samuel 11:3 and was then informed that Bathsheba is MARRIED to Uriah the Hittite. Then despite knowing that fact about Bathsheba which should have deterred him, he instructs his assistants to bring her to him - 2 Samuel 11:4. Those chronological actions taken by David obviously shows that David felt no conviction about sleeping with another man's wife despite the fact that he was married to over 6 women at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David had all the sex that he wanted, but it appeared that his many wives were not enough to satisfy him.
He later takes Bathsheba to be one of his many wives adding to the list after murdering her husband, Uriah the Hittite - 2 Samuel 11:26-27. He then gets her pregnant again.
There is a big contrast between King David and his sexual lust for Bathsheba in comparison with Joseph and Potiphar's wife. It is important to note that Joseph was SINGLE at that time when Potiphar's wife tempted him on a daily basis. However, Joseph had strong GODLY CONVICTION and refused to give in and because of his strong Godly conviction, the Lord blessed Joseph wherever he went. Both King David and Joseph were SAVED Godly men, but the only difference is that King David had a total lack of Godly conviction when it came to sexual sin, but Joseph had strong Godly conviction.
3) Lot is a man of God, but we read in Genesis 19:6-8 that Lot offers up his 2 daughters for SEX to the homosexuals who surrounded his house and in Genesis 19:31-36 we read that he has SEX WITH BOTH HIS DAUGHTERS GETTING THEM PREGNANT. This was clearly a case of INCEST. Yet Peter refers to Lot as a RIGHTEOUS MAN in 2 Peter 2:7-8 and Peter would not have referred to him as "RIGHTEOUS" if Lot was unsaved.
4) Moses is a man of God who committed the MURDER of an Egyptian - Exodus 2:12.
5) Noah is a man of God who got DRUNK and WENT NAKED in his tent - Genesis 9:21.
6) Jacob is a man of God who was also a SWINDLER as he kept all the best livestock for himself, but left all the weak and defective ones for his father in law Laban. Jacob and his mother Rebekah are both LIARS and DECEIVERS as they both deceived Isaac in stealing the blessing meant for Esau - Genesis 27:1-29. Jacob spoke LYING WORDS of deception to Isaac.
7) Abraham is a LIAR as he lied about his wife Sarah being his sister - Genesis 20:2.
People in the Old Testament were saved the exact same way as people in New Testament times, otherwise the apostle Paul would not have quoted Genesis 15:6 in Romans 4:2-6, and Galatians 3:5-8 in support of SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE APART FROM OUR WORKS.
Galatians 3:5-8 - 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, OR BY BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEARD?
6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced THE GOSPEL IN ADVANCE TO ABRAHAM: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
Hope this helps, God bless!
If some random guy on the street wants to talk to me about Christ and I tell him that I am already saved and he asks me: "what does that mean?", "how do you know?", "are you sure?" I am going to ask him: "do you doubt the work of the Holy Spirit? Do you doubt that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was sufficient enough to save me?" That's what I would respond with. I believed and still believe in Jesus, I got saved when I was 12 years old, the Holy Spirit drew me to Christ and I obeyed the call of the Holy Spirit, I prayed on the altar and I said: "Jesus save me, Jesus please save me" this prayer that I prayed was not pretty, it was not well worded, I did not know a lot of scripture at 12 years old but I knew that the gospel had been preached in power and demonstration of the Spirit and that I needed to be saved and I know that when I prayed I placed my faith and trust in Jesus Christ and according to His Holy Word and the witness of the Holy Spirit in my heart that I am saved, Jesus did not save me because of anything that I did but because of what He did for me on the cross, all that I did was fall down on my knees and surrender myself to him.
I'm sure you are living a life of repentance from sin though, right? Even though we struggle with our flesh we continue to repent every day. What brother Paul is talking about is are the masses of people in the world right now that claim the name of Jesus as a free ticket to live in as much sin as they please.
@@wojak91 Sanctification is a process that lasts through the whole life of a believer, an immature Christian who does not yet know what all the bible says about how we should live after we have been saved may come to the conclusion that because they are saved it is then okay to live however they want to live. My dad was one of these people, he got saved at a young age and then for ten years lived as though he never knew Christ, he eventually realized what a mistake he had made and returned to the Lord's house, now he is a preacher.
It is our choice after that we have been saved whether or not we are going to walk in paths of righteousness and submit to the Lord daily asking for forgiveness for our sins or whether we are going to go our own way and refuse to feed the inner man who desires the things of God.
What was his biblical reference for the excerpt? Did anyone catch that?
The way I understood from the beginning was this: We are justified and being justified, we are sanctified and being sanctified.
Where does it say that in the Bible?
I see in Eph 1:13-14 that we’re sealed the moment we believe .. until the day of redemption.
@@winterpatriot1429 It says it everywhere in the bible, and you should be experiencing it in your life. Romans 12:1-2; 2 Tim.2:21; 1 Thess.4:3; John 17:17 where Jesus is praying to the Father. Yes we are declared justified by faith, and we are redeemed. We are sanctified (set apart) Heb.10:10 "Once for all."
But, there is a sanctification process throughout our life which assures us that we are indeed justified (1John 3:18-19).
As believers we knew this shorty after receiving the Holy Spirit. The first time we sinned after, we were like 'Oh Jesus, forgive me!' Did this happen to you?
@@olydriveramen there has to be a transformation. The Holy Spirit will work in us till we die.
And he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

i overthink allot for example i say sorry and ask for forgiveness too god allot more than usual cause sometimes idk if its a sin or not for example if I get a thought of a bad word I say sorry and ask for forgiveness another example recently I was picking blueberries with my mom and I was throwing some of the blueberries towards her and I said something similar to ok that was the last one and then I threw another one so dose that mean i lied and constantly I’m typing in my notes every sin i feel i committed and i like repenting and saying sorry and ask for forgiveness but it gets frustrating when there are allot of things idk are even a sin that I’m saying sorry and asking for forgiveness for so many things and I feel like it’s the devil making me think I’m sinning but then idk if its true conviction of the Holy Spirit and even when I’m praying to god and telling him I’m a sinner i dont even tell him I know I’m a sinner i tell him I believe I’m a sinner because since I get doubts sometimes of his existence even tho I believe really strongly he’s real. I feel if I told him I know he’s real or that I know Im a sinner i over think and feel that telling him I know these thing might be considered as Lying to him because i dont know he’s real I just have a very strong belief and since I feel I just have strong belief he’s real and I don’t know I feel it could be lying to tell him I know I’m a sinner idk if anyone things like this but please someone help
Hey Aaron! I know how you feel. I struggle with a lot of the same things you mentioned. I think with repentance what we have to remember is that repentance is not just saying “God I’m sorry” repentance is saying “God I shouldn’t have done that and I know you wouldn’t have wanted me to do that. I want to turn from my ways and refocus on You and Your ways instead.” We all get thoughts like the ones you have sometimes and that’s why it’s important to take every thought captive before Christ. To examine everything that comes into our mind and think about what we know about God and whether or not these thoughts align with Him, His will, and His word. If it doesn’t align with God then repent. You may not have created the thought that comes into your head, you may not believe it or agree with it but I usually repent anyways. If you’re not sure if it aligns with God then think about God’s characteristics and what the Bible says about Him. Read the word. Talk with other Christians. As for whether or not you’re saved, I can’t say since I don’t know your relationship with God but if you believe that Jesus died on that cross for your sins then you are saved. In John 6:39-40 Jesus says “and this is the will of Him who sent me, that I shall lose none of those He has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” That means that even if you doubt Him sometimes, that doesn’t take away from your salvation. If you’ve accepted Christ, you don’t need to worry. God has you. Trust Him and His love that if He said He’s got you then truly He does. If you’re doubting God then I recommend watching some Mike Winger videos. He talks about evidence for God a lot on his channel and it’s been really helpful for me and my walk with Christ. I hope this was helpful. Don’t be afraid friend, God sees you and your struggles, bring your burdens to Him. Don’t forget to pray about this, I’m sure you are but bring this struggle before God and ask Him to guide you through it. God bless you friend.
Also, remember that believing in God is a choice. You can always choose Christ even when you’re doubting Him.
I thought I was the only one who does this! Bless you Aaron 💕🙏
Hey friend! Truth is, we are all sinful. We will all be sinful as long as we are in our sinful flesh. The moment you believe the gospel and trust Jesus, you're saved. No need to doubt your salvation. God is faithful when we are faithless. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Also, its really healthy to say sorry when you feel like you did something wrong. But also remember, youve already been forgiven. Hope this brings you peace.
Amen and Amen, Glory be to the Lord
The Bible say repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for remission of sin and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts2:8 We are to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus 2 Peter 3:18 , we have to examine ourselves , the fruit you bear, not fulling the flesh but walk on the spirit and I know we are not in the spirit 24 hrs a day read Galatians and Ephesians John the Baptist message was to repent you must repent all the time because we sin against God sometimes not knowingly. David said Lord keep me from my secrete sins and presumptuous sins.
There is nothing known as "once saved always saved" even as yhe Bible "See that your names are not BLOTTED out from the Lamb's book of life" to which it is required to keep the Faith unto the end
I hope someone responds to this comment; I would appreciate your input.
Paul seems to be saying if a Christian does not continually grow in faith, grace and spiritual maturity; he/she was never a genuine christian.
Am I misunderstanding him?
I agree that genuine repentance and faith in Christ results in a changed life and lifestyle. There will be "fruit".
The question is...how much fruit, and for how long?
I went from congregational song leader, church bus driver, adult Sunday school teacher, lay preacher as a guest or fill in; and even officiating a few funeral services;
I have personally led others to Christ, including family members.
But I ended up backsliding completely out of church for over 5 years. I am back in church now, in fellowship with the Lord. I did NOT get saved again.
What am I missing in this video?
Thanks
Paul is saying that the saved "take up their cross and follow CHRIST" everyday. It's a sanctification process. I don't hear him saying that we can lose our salvation, I do hear him saying if we are not continuing in CHRIST then we don't have saving faith in CHRIST. saving faith responds to the LORD both in heart and deed. Not to earn salvation, but working out our salvation as we become Christ-like. I'm happy you came back to follow CHRIST our Lord, David. I think your return is an example of what Paul is talking about. Blessings to you dear brother. Amen!
How long? I think of the man hanging with Jesus. How much fruit? All of it. Everyday. A life lived in service to our King bears much fruit.
He is a borderline Calvinist who believes God forces saved people to do works so if you don't have works you aren't saved. Hes a false teacher and I recommend you watch this video to learn the actual Gospel. God bless ua-cam.com/video/CLTAqJavYZU/v-deo.html
Paul Washer is a Calvinist, and Calvinism is a false gospel. Please don't fall for it. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He lived the sinless life I could never live. I believe He shed His blood for me on the cross. I believe He was buried and rose again on the third day. That is the ONLY evidence I look for in a believer, the faith in the facts, to determine if he or she is a brother or sister in Christ. Repentance is a change of mind that places trust in Christ alone, no longer in ourselves, but realizing it's all Him and none of us. He IS the narrow way and the strait gate and few will be that find it because it's in our nature to want to back-load legalism into the Gospel, but that's not what the Gospel is. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. PERIOD!
There was a group of people Jesus spoke about in Matthew chapter 7, who came to him boasting, saying, "Lord, Lord didn't we do all these wonderful things in your name?". Jesus replied to them and said, "Depart from Me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you." Now, look at what you're saying in this comment. "I'm saved because I was a song leader, I'm saved because I was a church bus driver, I'm saved because I was a lay preacher, I did this, I did that..." None of that is going to get you into heaven, our best works are filthy rags and iniquity. None of that is evidence of salvation, even atheists can do all that and can reform their fallen flesh; they do it all the time! I'm so sick of pharisee preachers like Washer ripping verses about "fruit" completely out of context and taking the focus off Christ and putting it onto ourselves.
If you've believed the Gospel (the Gospel of Christ, not the "gospel" of the Calvinists) then you are immediately sealed with the Holy Spirit according to Hebrews. Then you have eternal life, and eternal life isn't life on probation, it's eternal. He will never leave us nor forsake us, He is faithful even when we're unfaithful; we never lose fellowship with God. Church is NOT a building, it's the body of Christ here on earth, those who believe on Him alone. 99% of "churches" teach the gospel of Calvin or of Arminius, not the Gospel of Christ. Run, don't walk, from those churches and "preachers".
Please check out Dr. Ralph Yankee Arnold's channel, or Gregg Jackson, or Renee Roland. These people will give you the straight deal on salvation by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone. And pray, asking the Lord to lead you out of any deception.
Brother who's righteousness are you relying on, what works,growth, or service is enough to ensure eternal life? No amount.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us"
It is Christ's sanctification that secures our place in heaven. It is His righteousness that clothes us which secures our place in heaven. It is His blood that gives boldness to enter the holy of holies. Not our works. God requires perfection for those who look to their works to justify themselves.
"Cursed is he who does not continue to do all things written in the law" Brother you were born of God when you believed in Christ, you are now his child, you may have been disobedient but still his child. God's will is our sanctification but remember You are saved by grace,stay saved by grace and only accepted in the beloved. Be blessed
In Act chapter 2, the Apostle Peter, on the day of Pentecost, preach to a group of people and 3,000 of them got saved on that very same day(on the spot).

The righteousness of God,is not of the law!!!
I hope to be saved from self righteous evangelists and preachers spreading BS, fear, and hate. Most of whom are only in it for the money. Be free of religious slavery.
Who said people believe because their afraid? And not all preachers or evangelists are self righteous.
Can you tell me how every preacher is spreading hate or fear?
This man is the real deal.
I cant control what other people beleiive or think. I can control my submission to a relationshiip with Christ. My life should be evidence of this saving grace given freely by jesus. Its difficult to beleive in grace when others are more concerned with your faith then their own and ready to persecute your mistakes rather than repenting of there own. In my own life at this very moment i can see how i must walk dillegently in faith and not give any reason for the wicked to point there fingers at me. Jesus performed miracles and they killed him. My faith will show through and expose this same wickedness thats been going on from the beguining of time until the end. Have faith in Christ. Not yourself. The lord is watching us all. Amen
Romans 4:5-8. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for HIS righteousness. With out His righteousness, no one will see God. Romans 4:7-8 Blessed is the man whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
John 3:18 Jesus paid our sin debt in full so we could never be condemned again. Romans 3:26-28 For He is the just and the justifier of them that BELIEVE in Jesus. Where is boasting then? IT is excluded. By what law? By the law of works? Nay, but by the law of FAITH. Therefore we conclude a man is justified by FAITH apart from the deeds of the law.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, physical death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The GIFT of God is eternal life. Not a reward for good behavior.
A GIFT is paid in full by the GIVER. A reward is something you earn or work for. The GIFT of God is eternal life.
Romans 11:29 For the GIFTS and calling of God are without repentance. Irrevocable, can not be changed back
Repentance for salvation. It is the Greek word metanoia. It means to change your mind from trusting in what we do to save us to trusting in Jesus alone by faith alone to save us.
Repent of sin saves no one. It is not in the bible. It says repent. change your mind and believe on Jesus as the only way of salvation by grace. Romans 11:6. Romans 1:16
First John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive our selves and the TRUTH is not in us. Christ died for sinners.
Romans 11:6 Salvation by works never works. Amazing grace, Jesus paid it all and we paid 0. The GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Paid in full. John 3:18 No longer condemned to hell.
Excellent and anointed assessment!
John 3:16-18 Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it. See all of you WHOSOEVERS IN HEAVEN. Jesus paid the debt we owe God and set us free. Romans 6:23 For the penalty of sin is death, and we all sin, and we all die, but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. A GIFT is paid for in full by the GIVER in advance of giving the GIFT. What a GIFT. Eternal life. No one can earn it. Romans 11:6 All grace, no works. First John 1:8. If we say we have no sin we are deceived and the truth is not in us. Only a sinner saved by grace. Grace means it is free. Jesus last words on the cross, IT IS FINISHED. That is an accounting term meaning paid in full. John 3:18
Repentance simply means to accept Jesus as the only way of salvation apart from works. It is the Greek word, metanoia which means to change your mind. When we believe on Jesus for eternal life, we have repented. Have a wonderful day knowing we are going to heaven based on God word. First John 5:13 We know that we KNOW that we have eternal life.
The gift of God is eternal life. Not a reward for good behavior. Romans 6:23 For the penalty for sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life. No one can earn heaven.
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, HATH (present tense) EVERLASTING LIFE, and shall not come into judgement, but shall pass from death unto life.

Lordship salvation is works salvation and saves no one. Jesus paid the debt and set us free. John 3:18. John 6:40 and John 6:29.
Ephesians 1:13-14 Our guarantee of eternal life. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit in whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. The rapture of the church.
What does Paul Washer do with Romans 4:5, and what does he do with the criminal on the cross?
@3:38 Paul Washer said this:
"And the EVIDENCE that He has JUSTIFIED (saved) me is that He is now SANCTIFYING me.
A person who can show no mark of the sanctifying work of God in their life has NO ASSURANCE that they have been JUSTIFIED (saved)!"
Folks, this statement could not possibly be true in light of the day of Pentecost. 3000 people got saved in a single day (on the spot). There was no sanctification process to be evaluated in them, over that short period of time, yet they all were counted as SAVED.
SANCTIFICATION COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE THE MAIN EVIDENCE OF SALVATION. WE WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE DAY OF PENTECOST AND ACTS CHAPTER 2 FROM THE BIBLE, IF IT WERE.
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Matt 24
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
A loving God that God is, will move Heaven and Earth to come to one sinner and offer salvation to them in a way that they can understand and respond to.
To the casual observer seeing some one sawing a persons arm off looks cruel and evil. But if you understood that it was the only way to save that persons life, it would really be the kindest act of mercy and love that could be imagined.
And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:27
That is why I do what I do with these heretics on sites like this. I desire what God desires! To preach the true gospel of salvation to every creature. Even the calvinist creatures. God is calling ALL Calvinists. Even Paul Washer.
TRUTH IN LOVE
The thing non-Calvinists don't get about Calvinism is that the Calvinist recognizes that God knew all things even before He created anything. He knew even then who would be His. And He sent his Son to atone for them. (Because He knew that would be necessary because they would still sin.) There was never any point with the others. He was merciful to the others, yes, as He still provided His word, and He still sent the sun and rain. But He always knew how it would play out. They don't want God - at least, not as He is. And, as absolutely horrifying as getting what they want is, He is going to let them have it.
There is no getting around predestination with an all-knowing God. He always knew.
@@alexandernorman5337 Utter Calvinist brain washing and foolishness!
God knows everything that can be known, But there are things God cannot know.
How dare I say that ?
I don't!
God tells us in His Word.
Listen to what God is saying in these verses and come to your own conclusions. I have capitalized the words to consider.
They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek, though I never commanded-NOR DID IT ENTER MY MIND- that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin. Jeremiah 32:35
God did this so that they would seek him AND PERHAPS reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. Acts 17:27
You must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you TO FIND OUT whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 13:3
The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord REGRETTED that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. Genesis 6:5-6
When Jesus heard this, HE WAS AMAZED at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well. Luke 7:9-10
Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 HE WAS AMAZED at their lack of faith. Mark 6:4-7
The words and phrases are crystal clear, directly communicated from Gods Word to mans ears.
Only a person with a false agenda would twist them to conform to their church tradition.
“nor did it enter my mind” “ perhaps” “to find out” “the Lord regretted” “he was amazed” “He was amazed”
These are Gods Words to us and we must trust them to be true!
In no way am I saying God is not as great as He is, or limited in any way!
God by his Sovereign will has given to mankind and angels “Free Will” knowing full well that there would be unknowable consequences.
TRUTH IN LOVE
What have u done. U said nothing yet your u tube name is truth?? Huh?? If you think that you can live your life and sin and never even think about UNTILL someone or something challenges you to test yourself. Or examine yourself. Then you are as lost as it comes my friend. Do not be offended or get angry. No take it as motivation to search the Bible and find out how to teat yourselves. If you don't measure up. Repent and believe. Seek and find. Don't find yourself on that broad path and be of the majority who says LORD LORD Haven't I done what i was commanded. There are not excuses. Im sorry. BUT U ARE SO FAR FROM TRUTH. THE ONLY REASON U RECEIVED THIS COMMENT IS BECAUSE I KNEW WHEN I READ WHAT U DID ABOUT WASHER U WERE WONDERING BLIND
I will prove to u that everything this man teaches is the truth. You are not if you do not believe this man. U may differ with almost everything but when it comes to BASIC fundamentals. Brother you need to seek and discern
@@jamesprays7533 The basic fundamentals of Paul Washer and John Piper ARE Reformed Calvinism. Read their words and tell me its just christianity?
Read a quote of John Piper and decide for yourself who he represents:
John Piper exact quote: "This includes-as incredible and as unacceptable as it may currently seem-God’s having even brought about the Nazis’ brutality at Birkenau and Auschwitz as well as the terrible killings of Dennis Rader and even the sexual abuse of a young child . .
RAPE OF CHILDREN......BROUGHT NAZIS .... KILLINGS....
Really John Piper! This is your god that plans the rape of children?
The following is the Good News Gospel of Jesus Christ to all that has made.
1 Timothy 2 : 3-6 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
Acts 2 :21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off-....

Is it true faith in Jesus Christ if I believe strongly but I still have doubts like I feel god is with me but at the same time I doubt my salvation cause i over think and I’ve always had this problem it’s helps too over think but it negatively affects me sometimes too like I believe god is real allot like allot but a part of me feels it’s possible that man made up the Bible and that always makes it to where I can’t know gods real I believe he’s real I have faith he’s real I just don’t know I’m like right under knowing I just don’t please help cause I believe jesus died on the cross for me and that believing in him saves me from all my sin but since I get doubts I feel that I’m not believing enough and i dont now how too cause no matter how hard I try I always get doubts even though I believe and since I get doubts it makes me think I’m not believing enough in Christ to be saved and then that Really makes me doubt my salvation and then that makes me feel that god sees me and that he just sees a man doubting him and man it just feels horrible because idk what too do i dont know what god wants me to do but I know he wants me to trust him so that I will do someone please respond and give me some help thank you I trust one of you will🙏👍😊
study the Bible every day Surround yourself with fellow Christians true Bible believer's tell them your concerns ask for prayer pray your self, and listen to the Bible that if you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and he died and was risen from the dead you will be saved
I heard somewhere that even the greatest men of God had doubts. Sometimes God leaves us alone to see how we react and how we conduct ourselves by what He thought us until that moment. Like when God let satan test Job in the Old Testament. Faith is the continuous choosing of God and fighting yourself in the moments of doubt and hardship. I am no pastor or a theology student but from what I read in the Bible and what I experienced with God is that sometimes He will let us in moments where we can choose to doubt or to keep having faith. Now think about it like this, you walk with God by holding hands and He will let go of your hand, will you try and reach for Him or will you say that He left you and now you won’t lift your hand to try and hold Him. I know how you feel, you feel sad for not trusting in Him because you would be sad too if someone you love wouldn’t trust you back when they should trust you fully and you’d be heartbroken for that. You’re have love in you, and how the Bible says “Those who don’t know love, don’t know God.” Just be strong and don’t forget, He will never abandon you and whatever wrong you could do if you’re honest and come to Him, you’ll always be welcomed with love. God bless you my dear brother. Be brave and courageous. ❤️
Look up Isaiah Saldivar "Spirit of Religion" and also watch some of his videos about spiritual warfare/demons. Demonization can make people doubt their salvation, even when they once knew the joy of it! I was in the same place just about a month ago.
The only way to be saved is to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. It doesn’t matter how much you go to church, it doesn’t matter how much money you tithe, How kind you are or how “good” you are, if you are not saved then you do not have eternal salvation. End of story. Trust the Lord.
@Rafael you test yourself against the sufficient word of God. You dont DO THE NEW TESTAMENT TO EARN SALVATION but you use it as a mirror to say is my life reflective of what im reading. Am I behaving like the Corinthian church and living lavishly or sinfully in the freedom Christ has bought me? I should repent. Am I under the bondage of sin? Am I confessing my sins to Christ? Heres a big one. Am I faithful to being in a church body? The church is a gift to the believer and we're called to be part of it, even if just in a local body. It is there to keep us accountable to one another in our sin and to have fellowship. Jesus had his disciples and friends, Paul had his many churches and Timothy and many he communed with, the churches Paul wrote to were all part of church bodies. Is it the building? No. We're called to be part of a bible teaching, scripture believing church so that we can be strengthened, taught, faithful, and accountable to one another. If youre not in a body, join one, and if that one isnt convicting you of sin or proclaiming Christ or acting as its supposed to, find a new one. God left us with the church for a reason. Its the hospital for Christians still living in a sinful world. Its not for nonbelievers to get saved as its primary purpose. Its meant for us to be strengthened and to worship and to also be vulnerable. Confess your sins to one another was NOT a suggestion, and our walk, while personal in nature, is one where we're called to be a part of Christ's bride, the church.
Very encouraging video thanks for sharing!!
It starts with faith, James chapter 1. Accept Jesus as your Lord and redeemer. Confess sins to God, were all sinners. If you dont have faith, pray for it. In gospel of Matthew, a man begged Jesus to heal his son who had demonic spirit. Problem with this person, he lacked faith. He asked Jesus to help him with his faith, he was honest about it. Jesus did heal the boy. Second Timothy chapter 2, study to show yourself approved. A soldier doesn't get entangled in worldly affairs, his/her goal is to please God, the commander of the army. How can Jesus use someone that's biblically illiterate, to plant seeds for God, share truth with lost souls. John chapter 15, Jesus is the vine, Christians are the branches, the branches are pruned to produce more fruit. Your to increase in knowledge and wisdom of God's word. That's why Christian people study the bible, to help lost sheep. If someone rejects the seed you planted, dont waste time on that person, move on. If someone asks for help or questions, its green light. God can open doors and close doors. Only God can germinate that seed, a servant plants seeds and God decides if it germinates. God wants productive servants. If a employee is lazy and idle at a job, he/she is stealing time from their boss. At some point the boss will fire that person. God gives person many years to come full circle, after 40 or 50 years, your fired, unprofitable. God is fair, it's the lazy person who threw it away.
It starts with God.
One of the biggest false teachers of today
so very wrong...…..salvation is simple...it is believing and accepting the gospel as truth and when we do God alone seals us which is the proof of being saved......how we order our life and live is NOT the evidence or showing of a changed life......for even the ungodly can live a lifestyle that is identical to a saved persons lifestyle...…...washer says one little pray can not save and yet Jesus even said all we need to do is what God says and that's to believe on him who he sent period...no more no less.....only believe......we do not continually repent either......repent means to have a change of mind and turn form sin...for even God repented in the OT many times......washer teaches that unless you have works you will go to hell and that to is unbiblical...…..
Huge amen cullen
What he says isn't biblical. it's a man made doctrine to try to please God . for salvation. But the only way to please God is by faith and not by continually repenting which sounds very catholic.-Eph 2: 8-9 8, For it is by grace you have been saved, """""""""through faith""""""""""-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Brother Washer repent and believe .Its not about what you do ,it's about what He didi for you.-shalom
How are we able to be sure that we have come to KNOW Jesus(i.e. saved)? Many claim to KNOW Jesus but they deny him by their WORKS, just like Paul said in Titus 1:16.
They profess to KNOW God, but they deny him by their WORKS. They are detestable, DISOBEDIENT, unfit for any good WORK.
And John tells us in 1 John 2:3-4 about the people that truly KNOW Jesus.
3 And by this we KNOW that we have come to KNOW him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Whoever says “I KNOW him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
So, the Bible clearly says that whoever says they KNOW Him but does not keep His commandments(plural) is a LIAR!! Plain and simple.
The gospel that is taught to many people today has been reduced down to just "faith alone". This false gospel of "faith alone" has made following the commandments of Christ null and void. Obeying His commandments have been eliminated from the gospel and have been made subsequent and optional to salvation. Walking in the Spirit has been made optional as well. This false gospel of "faith alone" changes what Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 - For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Instead of following the biblical teaching on salvation in Christ, they follow this false gospel which tells them that they can be saved by "faith alone", apart from having to keep the commandments of Christ.
By teaching that we do NOT need to keep the commandments(plural) of Christ as the gospel, the saving power of the gospel has been neutralized. The end result is that millions of people have been deceived by the devil's masterpiece into thinking they have eternal life in Christ when they actually do not. These people do not really KNOW Christ.
If you need evidence that you are saved, you have no chance. Faith alone will get you there. If you believe this then I have a tremendous business opportunity that may interest you. Just let me know and we will be in touch. Blessings.
In Acts chapter 10 the Apostle Peter and his companions knew that Cornelius and his entire household was saved in one single afternoon.
QUESTION:
Why isn't this message consistent with Acts 10?
It is consistent, isn't it?
The household was saved, they repented and believed.
Going by the Bible, their lives were changed and kept changing as they grew in sanctification.
@@cjlowder7089,
There is an inconsistency in the fact that full assurance of salvation (for Cornelius and his household) occurred on the same day that they all heard and received the gospel message shared by the Apostle Peter. It did not take an extended period of time accompanied by a LIFESTYLE change to properly ascertain the salvation status of Cornelius and friends. They all were SAVED WITH FULL ASSURANCE of their salvation in a single afternoon. This is NOT what Mr. Washer teaches.
@@josephmass3052 this is exactly correct. Paul said "so that you may know you are saved". The moment you believe and trust the gospel/christ, you can rest assured that you are saved.
I think the point that Paul is trying to make is that once you are truly saved you will begin to grow in your faith and repent daily. So yes they were all saved because their minds were changed and the began lives as mew creatures (I believe with part of this change came daily repentance and the growth of faith). So yes he would agree that once you are truly saved you can rest assured. But those that are truly saved constantly strive for holiness out of our love and deep desire to please God. I dont believe the speaker would disagree with what you are saying i just believe he is adding more to it.
@@marthafrederick5109 i think the reason he says that so you know you are saved is from what he mentioned in the video. Many many people have surface level Christianity that doesnt actually go deeper than “oh i said i believed in jesus 10 years ago so i am saved”. There will be many that say Lord Lord and God will tell them he never actually knew them. Another way of putting it is James 2:19 “You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder.” I do agree that once someone is truly repentant they are saved because when God begins a good work in someone he will always finish it. Anyways this is my 2 cents on this conversation. Cheers👍🏻
TO ALL WHOM READ. I WOULD NOT COMMENT IF I WERE IGNORANT TO THE TRUTH. WHAT PEOPLE.GET WEARY OR EVEN CONFUSED ABOUT IS THIS. UNLESS U ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS. YOU MAY EVEN BE INSULTED ,, BUT WAIT TILL THE END. IF YOU ARE TRULY A SAVED CREATURE YOU WILL NATURALLY REPENT OF SIN IN YOUR LIFE. THE LEAST THAT YOU FIND YOURSELF SINNING THAT IS. FOR ONE TO TRULY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS TO HAVE A NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH THERE SIN. SO IF YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT YOUR SIN THE HOLY BIBLE TEACHES YOU SOULD BE VERY AFRAID. HERE COMES YOUR HOPE. SEEK GOD AND CRY OUT TO HIM ,,, REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL AND THE POWER OF GOD. BROTHER IN CHRIST JESUS JWT
I show no evidence of this salvation, so I am condemned already. And it's a shame because I truly want to stop suffering and be saved.
Are you saved now?

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED
1. You have a conviction in your heart by the holy spirit.
2. You have a feeling of Joy that cannot be explained in words because your name is in the book of life.
3. You have a feeling that the World is nothing but Christ.
4. You have a feeling that you have something greater than what you have presently.
5. You have a feeling of PEACE within you.
6. You have a feeling of a newborn.
7. You have your polluted thought cleaned by the washing of water- spiritual.
8. You begin to see things DIFFERENTLY (that is you are not easily angered anymore, you are quick in forgiving, you are quick in admitting that you are wrong anytime you have done something wrong).
9. You have a TESTIMONY in your mouth that you are saved and TESTIMONY in your heart to speak about your new LOVE- Jesus.
10. You have a belief like that of PAUL for you to live is Christ(holiness inward and outward) and to die is gain( eternal life).
11. You have a sense of belonging (heavenly- feeling you are no longer the same person).
12. You begin to detest somethings( worldly- music, porn, falsification of nature- false eyelashes, false finger nails, false skin- bleaching, false lips, false hair etc).
13. You begin to see yourself happier even when you do not have much(money, clothes, etc).

Feelings
@@richardcartagena9083 excellent point-faith is not always felt. I think most believers can relate with these characteristics, at least I do. But being legalistic about it would be wrong, of course
We are not saved by feelings. We are saved by faith in Christ alone. But if someone is truly saved they will definitely have conviction from the Holy Spirit and feel remorse leading them to confess, repent and turn back to God and with a determination to not do that sin again.
Luke 10:20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather REJOICE (DICTIONARY: TO FEEL GREAT HAPPINESS ABOUT SOMETHING), because your names are written in heaven.
Luke 10:20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather REJOICE (DICTIONARY: TO FEEL GREAT HAPPINESS ABOUT SOMETHING), because your names are written in heaven.
So spend the rest of your life repenting and believing never knowing if it's enough to please God enough to save me. Sounds like a great assurance message trusting in Christ's finished work??????
Repentance biblically means Metanoia, change your mind, to go from believing in yourself and what you think will save you, to trusting in the one true Savior Jesus Christ and His redemptive work on the cross. "What must I do to be saved?" Believe in the name of Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved. It wasnt repent of all your sins and be saved, it wasnt repent of your sins and be baptized, or be perfectly obedient to the law and love God perfectly and love your neighbor perfectly. That is a works based salvation. If “the life we live” determines our eternal destiny,” (not Jesus’ perfect life, death for all our sins, burial, and resurrection from the dead on the third day),” then salvation is by works!! Lordship salvationists have a problem with Grace, they think you have to work for your salvation and to keep it.
HE is our justification, sanctification and glorification. All of our sins past, present and future were forgiven at the cross.
Truth
I am not saved. I rejected Jesus Christ and grieved the Holy Spirit and I am going to hell. Please pray for my soul!! Please pray to God to give me one more chance to be saved. I know I don't have the Holy Spirit indwelling in me. Please pray for me. I'm a mess.
@nikkisfurkids5783 Don't embrace or listen to the false teachings of Paul Washer who is a FALSE TEACHER preaching the false gospel of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation which is WORKS SALVATION. If you want to be saved, BELIEVE on Christ and His finished work on the cross. The Bible says that eternal life is a free gift, that is not of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23. Salvation is a one time event that saves a person in a NANOSECOND for all eternity - John 5:24.
Acts 16:30-31 - 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast.
Romans 3:20 - Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Romans 3:28 - For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Romans 4:2-6 - 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works.
Romans 9:31-32 - but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? BECAUSE THEY PURSUED IT NOT BY FAITH BUT AS IF IT WERE BY WORKS. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.
Romans 10:4 - For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
Galatians 2:16 - know that a person IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, BECAUSE BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED.
Galatians 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.
Galatians 3:6 - So also Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Galatians 5:4 - You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Titus 3:5 - HE saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
Genesis 15:6 - Abraham believed the Lord, and HE CREDITED IT TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Hope this helps, God bless!
@nikkisfurkids5783 Sin is transgression of the law of God, but we are not under the law of God for salvation, we are under GRACE. Christ did what no man on the face of this earth could ever do, and that is fulfill the law of God in absolute sinless perfection - Matthew 5:17-18. It is Christ's imputed righteousness that justifies a person positionally before God, that is, His perfect fulfillment of the law, and His blood sacrifice and death on the cross. We all still commit sin by breaking the law of God in one way or another after we are saved, and that includes ME.
We are not under the law for SALVATION. If we break the law, we will no doubt suffer the consequences including chastisement from God and other societal consequences, BUT we are still saved. After a person is saved, if the person goes out and commits a crime and gets caught, the person will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences of his/her actions including prison time and chastisement from God, BUT the person is still SAVED.
Again, we are NOT under the law for salvation, but under the law because we live in a world that upholds the law which maintains order in society and if anyone breaks those laws, there will be consequences. If we commit adultery, we will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences and be subject to God's temporal judgment, BUT WE ARE STILL GOD'S CHILDREN. There are scores of saved pastors and lay people who commit adultery, but that does not mean they will "lose their salvation" or mean "they were never saved to begin with", if that's what you're thinking. Too many people let Calvinism and Arminianism contaminate their doctrine because of the prevalence of these 2 false doctrines that have permeated all the churches within mainstream Christianity.
Christ's blood atonement and death on the cross did not free us from sinning, but freed us from the penalty of sin which is ETERNAL CONDEMNATION in hell and the eventual Lake of Fire. Again, all SAVED Christians still sin AFTER they are saved. Saved Christians will be freed from the old sin nature on the very day of the Rapture, but for now we all still sin no matter what, no matter how hard we try not to. The OUTER MAN, which is the FLESH, the old SIN NATURE still resides in all of us where we all still sin EXPERIENTIALLY after we are saved (Romans 7:14-25, Galatians 5:13) whether its sins of omission that we are not aware of and deliberate sins that we do.
The OUTER MAN, the FLESH, which is the old SIN NATURE will not be eradicated until Christ returns at the Rapture to take and TRANSFORM us into perfect, sinless, eternal bodies - 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2.
Philippians 3:21 - Who shall change OUR VILE BODY, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
1 John 3:2 - Beloved, now are WE ARE THE SONS OF GOD, and IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: but we know that, when he shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is.
However, we have not died to our old nature in this earthly life and have not died to sin at the moment of faith. The old nature still resides in all of us (the flesh, the OUTER MAN) and will not be eradicated until the very day of the Rapture when Christ personally comes to take and transform us. That is the whole point of Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Again, we have NOT died to sin yet as we all still sin. That is why 1 John 1:8-10 and 1 John 2:1 was written. Our performance of good works before God is not in perfection as we all still sin AFTER our conversion. Our good works in this life contribute to the edification of others as PROFITABLE SERVICE - James 2:14-26, 1 John 3:17-18 and will earn us ETERNAL REWARDS at the future Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 when our earthly lives will be evaluated to determine the gain or loss of eternal rewards and the privilege of reigning with Christ in the Millennial kingdom - Revelation 2:26, Revelation 3:21, Luke 19:11-27.
Hope this helps, God bless!
@nikkisfurkids5783 Here are Biblical examples of Godly people in the New Testament whom the apostle Paul affirmed are still saved despite their sinful deeds. The Corinthian Christians of the apostle Paul's time certainly would convince many people that they were "unsaved" or "had lost their salvation." Their lives were deplorable and were living in gross sin and immorality, but Paul affirmed the fact that they were saved in 1 Corinthians 3:1 as he addressed them as "brethren" that were "carnal babes in Christ". Paul would not have addressed them in that way if they were not saved.
Paul addresses them as "brethren" in 1 Cor 2:1, as "brethren" and "carnal' "babes in Christ" in 1 Cor 3:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 4:6, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 10:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 11:2, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 12:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 14:20, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:58. (KJV)
The above list in 1 Corinthians where Paul repeatedly addressed the Corinthian Christians as "brethren" is overwhelming evidence that these are saved people possessing eternal life. Paul would not have addressed them as "brethren" if they were not saved.
When Paul addressed the Corinthian church they were living in sexual immorality, lawsuits, divisions, etc, at the very time when he wrote to them. Lordshippers just love to change the plain text and teach that Paul was referring to the Corinthians after they matured. NO, Paul was addressing and rebuking them in their present state while they were living in sin. It makes no logical sense for the apostle Paul to address and rebuke them if the Corinthians "grew" and matured. Paul addresses them as "Brethren" meaning they were saved, but he couldn't address them as spiritual and mature because they were not. They were saved, but CARNAL and BABES IN CHRIST who were still not growing as Paul said they were still drinking milk.
1 Corinthians 3:1 KJV - "And I, BRETHREN, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto CARNAL, even as unto BABES IN CHRIST."
1 Corinthians 3:2 - I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, YOU ARE STILL NOT READY.
1) 1 Corinthians 3:3 - there was ENVYING, STRIFE, and DIVISIONS among the Christians.
2) 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 - A CHRISTIAN MAN WAS HAVING SEX WITH HIS STEPMOTHER and consequently Paul pronounced judgment on this man in 1 Corinthians 5:5 where Paul says, "hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be SAVED on the day of the Lord". The Corinthian Christian's attitude regarding this man who was sleeping with his stepmother was one of PRIDE - 1 Cor 5:2
In 2 Corinthians 2:5-8, Paul gives an update on this man where we read that this man was chastened with CHURCH DISCIPLINE and that God had mercy on him and did not terminate his physical life. Paul instructs the church to forgive and comfort him so that he won't be overcome by excessive sorrow and to reaffirm their love and concern for him.
2 Corinthians 2:5-8 - But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was INFLICTED BY MANY. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to FORGIVE HIM, AND COMFORT HIM, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
Wherefore I beseech you that ye would CONFIRM YOUR LOVE TOWARD HIM.
3) 1 Corinthians 4:18 - there was ARROGANCE among the Corinthian Christians.
4) 1 Corinthians 6:7-8 - THERE WERE CHRISTIANS TAKING OTHER CHRISTIANS TO COURT and there was CHEATING among them.
5) 1 Corinthians 7:2 - there was FORNICATION among the Christians.
6) 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 - there were Christians EATING SELFISHLY, and there was DRUNKENNESS at the Lord's Supper.
Because of their selfish indulgence of food and getting drunk God brought about SICKNESS and PHYSICAL DEATH as punishment - 1 Cor 11:29-30.
Scripture is clear that there are indeed carnal Christians that are saved. It's not good or spiritually edifying that they are living in sin. God will CHASTISE them because they are His children, but they are still saved - Hebrews 12:5-11. The book of 1 Corinthians confirms the reality of carnal Christians who were living in sin and Paul affirmed that they are eternally saved by addressing them as "sanctified in Christ Jesus" and "saints" in 1 Cor 1:2.
Paul also made it clear that he would deal with those who were sinning in the Corinthian Church with DISCIPLINE/CHASTISEMENT. This, of course, was not a threat against their salvation and eternal security. They were in danger of chastisement from God for their sinful actions and behavior - 2 Corinthians 13:2. Paul had already pronounced chastisement on the man who was sleeping with his stepmother in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5. All the other sinning believers were in the same danger of chastisement from God just like the ones who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper - 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 and their consequent chastisement of sickness and premature physical death where their life spans were cut short - 1 Corinthians 11:29-30.
2 Corinthians 13:2 - I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others.
It appears that Paul was warning the Corinthian believers about imminent chastisement from God if they didn't heed his warnings to them.
In 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, it clearly states that God had already dealt with some of the Corinthian Christians who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:20-22) by sending sickness and premature PHYSICAL DEATH where their life spans were cut short.
Self-righteous Calvinists/Lordship Salvationists like PAUL WASHER and a host of others and Arminian/Lordship Salvationists will of course deliberately deny the existence of carnal Christians and would deliberately write off carnal Christians who are living in sin as "unsaved" or having "lost their salvation" despite overwhelming evidence from Scripture.
Hope this helps, God bless!
@nikkisfurkids5783 1) Samson is a true man of God and at the same time a FORNICATOR - Judges 16:1 who led Israel for 20 years - Judges 15:20, Judges 16:31. The Bible is clear that he saw a prostitute and spent the night with her and what is described in Mark 7:20-23 and Galatians 5:19 was in Samson's heart at that very moment.
Samson's last prayer just before his simultaneous murder/suicide was NOT a prayer of repentance, but was a request to God to strengthen him so that he could get REVENGE on the Philistines for the loss of his 2 eyes. Then in Judges 16:28-30, Samson commits a simultaneous MURDER/SUICIDE.Yet Samson is listed as a Godly man of faith in Hebrews 11:32. Samson would not be listed there if he was unsaved.
2) KING DAVID is a true man of God who struggled with LIVE PORNOGRAPHY and no doubt at that moment had sexual lust in his heart (Mark 7:20-23, Galatians 5:19) as he watched Bathsheba take a bath from the roof of his palace and then gave in to the temptation and committed ADULTERY/MURDER - 2 Samuel 11:1-21. This happened despite the fact that King David had over 6 wives at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David felt no conviction for his sins of adultery and murder because of the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to him and then gave orders for the murder of her husband, Uriah the Hittite. God had to send Nathan the prophet to WAKE HIM UP - 2 Samuel 12.
God chastised King David with a series of painful consequences for the rest of his life - 2 Samuel 12:10, but his eternal salvation was never in question.
King David is a true man of God and is called the "man after God's heart" - Acts 13:22, but the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to his palace obviously showed that King David felt NO CONVICTION. David sent an assistant to find out about her -2 Samuel 11:3 and was then informed that Bathsheba is MARRIED to Uriah the Hittite. Then despite knowing that fact about Bathsheba which should have deterred him, he instructs his assistants to bring her to him - 2 Samuel 11:4. Those chronological actions taken by David obviously shows that David felt no conviction about sleeping with another man's wife despite the fact that he was married to over 6 women at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David had all the sex that he wanted, but it appeared that his many wives were not enough to satisfy him.
He later takes Bathsheba to be one of his many wives adding to the list after murdering her husband, Uriah the Hittite - 2 Samuel 11:26-27. He then gets her pregnant again.
There is a big contrast between King David and his sexual lust for Bathsheba in comparison with Joseph and Potiphar's wife. It is important to note that Joseph was SINGLE at that time when Potiphar's wife tempted him on a daily basis. However, Joseph had strong GODLY CONVICTION and refused to give in and because of his strong Godly conviction, the Lord blessed Joseph wherever he went. Both King David and Joseph were SAVED Godly men, but the only difference is that King David had a total lack of Godly conviction when it came to sexual sin, but Joseph had strong Godly conviction.
3) Lot is a man of God, but we read in Genesis 19:6-8 that Lot offers up his 2 daughters for SEX to the homosexuals who surrounded his house and in Genesis 19:31-36 we read that he has SEX WITH BOTH HIS DAUGHTERS GETTING THEM PREGNANT. This was clearly a case of INCEST. Yet Peter refers to Lot as a RIGHTEOUS MAN in 2 Peter 2:7-8 and Peter would not have referred to him as "RIGHTEOUS" if Lot was unsaved.
4) Moses is a man of God who committed the MURDER of an Egyptian - Exodus 2:12.
5) Noah is a man of God who got DRUNK and WENT NAKED in his tent - Genesis 9:21.
6) Jacob is a man of God who was also a SWINDLER as he kept all the best livestock for himself, but left all the weak and defective ones for his father in law Laban. Jacob and his mother Rebekah are both LIARS and DECEIVERS as they both deceived Isaac in stealing the blessing meant for Esau - Genesis 27:1-29. Jacob spoke LYING WORDS of deception to Isaac.
7) Abraham is a LIAR as he lied about his wife Sarah being his sister - Genesis 20:2.
People in the Old Testament were saved the exact same way as people in New Testament times, otherwise the apostle Paul would not have quoted Genesis 15:6 in Romans 4:2-6, and Galatians 3:5-8 in support of SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE APART FROM OUR WORKS.
Galatians 3:5-8 - 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, OR BY BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEARD?
6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced THE GOSPEL IN ADVANCE TO ABRAHAM: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
Hope this helps, God bless!

That is the $1mil Question when hearing preachers like him.
repentance means "to change your mind" or "to turn away". when you repent you turn away from sin. repentance is honest and regretful acknowledgement of sin and commitment to turn away from it

Wow no mention of Jesus Christ for salvation in that paragraph.
Paul I believe explained repentance very good.

We can turn from anything but what do we turn too? is the question.
Repent is change of mind ( from not believing in Jesus to Believing in Him )
@@abrasos3814 yes of course! i just explained the term :)
@@DK-mb9wn it means to change your mind right about that but it doesn't mean to change your mind about sin because you will always sin you always be a sinner so how could you change your mind about something you'll always do until you die?? Lol it means change your mind from unbelief to believe not anything about your sins you always be a ratchet sinner
If this Calvinism Paul Washer teaches is true, it means that God creates disposable people, people without any hope,” “It means that God not only allows, but micro-manages and sovereignly ordains, every war and every abortion and every rape of a child. It means that Calvin’s god does not love the world; he hates it because it is full of “totally depraved” individuals having apparently created us that way for his own glorification, or is it for his amusement? If Calvinism is true , it means that if that dying child that you held in your arms was not among the elect, then God did not love her. He never had any intention of loving her. She was nothing to Him. In fact, he would delight and find glory in her eternal torture in hell.”
Who are really created in the image of then, God or satan?
“And whenever I raise these points with Calvinists, all they can say is that I should be more grateful for my own salvation! It’s like, ‘as long as my eternal destiny is secure, as long as my life is all planned out and taken care of by God, who gives a damn about family, friends or anyone else!’ How can you be okay with that? How can anyone be okay with that? Why do I feel find this heresy morally offensive?” Only the devil should be at ease with such an abomination!
According to Calvinism the lost hate God because God first hated them. They won't say it that way, but that's what it boils down to.
Romans 16 : 17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.
Truth in love THINK ABOUT, REALLY THINK ABOUT IT! IS THIS WHO GOD IS?
Thesis 1 of Luther’s 95 thesis is that “the life of a Christian is a life of repentance”. Same thing that Paul Washer says here. Repentance is not a one time thing, you must continuously repent your entire life. Most evangelicals are lost, they were never born again, in spite of saying a prayer inviting Jesus into their hearts.

What is repentance?
@@abrasos3814 repentance happens every time we sin. We show contrition for our sin and turn to Christ for forgiveness in faith.

Is there scripture that you can share that breaks down repentance in that way?

Matthew 3:10 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

I looked up Repentance for you, it is the word ( Metoneo ) in the Greek for the new testament, and it means ( change of Mind ) it is not asking for forgiveness.
Matt 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance
John was talking to the Pharisees and Sadducee's that came to his baptism.
he is telling them did you bring a change of mind that we can see you want to believe in what he is preaching. That had nothing to do with bearing fruits READ THE CONTEXT.
Matthew 7 is talking about ( false prophets ) WOLVES in SHEEP clothing and if you read the context it will show you that those wolves ( false prophets ) exposed their fruits by what they said out of their mouths. it sure wasn't what they did, for it says they prophesied, did miracles and many wonderful things so their fruits was not what they did but what they said. We did this and that IN YOUR NAME they lied, this is why Jesus said I NEVER KNEW YOU. He did not say
I KNEW YOU ONCE but you backslide or you left me, nope He never knew them.....
We all are exposed by what we say, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, its not what goes in the man that defiles him but, what comes out.
A good tree cannot produce bad fruit neither a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
You see the good fruit is what the Lord produces, NOT US. All we can do is produce bad fruit. because the righteousness of man is as filthy rags. Isa 64:6
This is why we can only Bear fruit the word ( BEARING ) is ( holding up, support ) if we are the branches and Jesus is the true VINE connected to us, HE will produce Good Fruit and we will bear it
in ourselves as we are the branches and hold up the fruit. John 15. Read context my friend so you will not mislead people.
I genuinely and sincerely, from the bottom of my soul, believe Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, God the Son himself. I therefore take his warnings about losing our individual souls very very seriously. Because the simple truth is that Jesus is EXACTLY who he says he is, namely God himself and the consequences of NOT believing in him are very serious indeed. Jesus said if we do not put our faith in him before we die, we will be separated from him forever in a place Jesus himself called Hell. Just think of the shock at the moment we die when we find out Jesus was indeed God, and the die is cast. There will be no second chances. That is why I send these messages in the hope that they help someone to find the truth. Jesus is the Son of God, believe and be saved
If i thought i could lose my salvation THERE is NO way i would ever backslide EVER! Think about it It would mean that I just admitted to God that i am will to spend eternity away from Him, and His Only begotten Sons Blood didn't mean much to me.
Now if I did backslide, then it would mean 1 of 2 things ;
1.) I really didn't think i could lose my salvation in the first place, but was just compromising my belief because i didn't want to lose position in church, friends, family members or just embarrass to admit the truth because of Pride.
OR
2.) I never really believed in Jesus in the first place, but sure knew how to pretend.

God loves us yes he does.. read your bibles.. its the living word of God.. see ya on the other side.. stay safe..
This is kinda intimidating, but it’s still true❤❤
God is more intimidating, for sure!
I lost my salvation
Why do you say that?
You can be saved if you have 2 seconds of a life with grief of repentence for your sins. If you die repented you will be saved probably through purgatory so It's never too late to ask forgivenes while you still breath. The only danger stays if you don't want to regret for your sins.
Why do you say that?
"spend your life repenting and believing". No that is a false gospel and in fact the 'gospel' of Ellen White.
Repent and forsake your sins. TRUST in JESUS Christ and his sacrifice on the cross. There is coming a day when the LORD will judge the world in righteousness. Hell awaits all sinners including lukewarm christians. JESUS says go and sin no more so if you loved him you would OBEY HIM.
Levi. ? Lukewarm Christians do not go to hell. They might lose rewards in heaven but not salvation. Wow
So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Revelation 3:16
The Father is not the saviour, that is the role of the Son, The Messiah, The Lord Jesus, The Christ!
They are taught by the Father as this verse shows: and the Father sends them that believe that God exists to the Son.
It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. John 6:45
So when Jesus said that: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. John 6:44 It is simple saying that the Father makes all men aware that God exists and sends those who respond to Jesus.
BUT! not all men will respond even though they have no excuse. They know God exists but they made their choice.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools Romans 1:21-22
Paul verifies this to Timothy: This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. 1 Timothy 2 : 3-6
The Holy Spirit comes into play in a special way only once a person whom the Father sends to the Son for salvation. Those who willingly desire to be right with God. Those who Repent and are Baptized.
JESUS John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
TRUTH IN LOVE
Jesus does not love you. He will reject you, and you know it. Luke 6: 21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

Catholic teaching.
Churches of men, also called christians, hear The Truth regarding the matter from your Redeemer Himself whom you call Jesus. He has spoken to our generation, more of His Volumes is found at the bottom of this comment;
"1/7/10 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Thus says The Lord: Beloved ones, I am The Answer you search for, The Truth you seek - The Only Way, The Only Truth, The Only Life. Apart from Me there is nothing of any value; apart from Me there is no life. Therefore who you choose, not what you choose, is the answer. For who you choose defines what you do. And whosoever chooses another, and not Me in truth, has chosen themselves, and has done according to their own will.
Thus those who embrace My words
Have taken the first steps in the
Knowledge of how to truly abide in Me...
Indeed, those who have written
This wisdom upon their heart
Have already crossed the threshold...
I am The Lord."

"2/4/10 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
This question was asked of The Lord: Lord, by putting You first, and refusing to take part in the modern holidays of men, are we dishonoring our parents and family who say we should take part?
Thus says The Lord YahuShua: Beloved, a sincere desire to be free from the iniquity of this world is good and well-pleasing to The Lord. For one who truly loves Me seeks to please Me. And those in whom I dwell will run from these holidays of men, which I hate, despising them. Yet one who remains in disagreement with My Word in the Volumes can in no wise be gathered, for they have denied Me. And any who reject My Word, in favor of the doctrines and traditions of men, embrace that which runs contrary to Me.
For I tell you the truth, anyone who refuses, disagrees with, or speaks against My Letters or My prophet has rejected Me in favor of their own way. Pride has ensnared them, and arrogance has become their close friend. Behold, they have embraced the world and its evil ways, and seek not the approval of their Father in Heaven, but of men. And all who seek the approval of men must walk through the valley with them; and all who remain friends of the world have made themselves enemies of God, as it is written.[1] Therefore all lovers of the world shall surely be left in it; they shall not escape! For assuredly, I say to you, this world shall be shaken and the glory of men shall be broken down! And in like manner shall all those left in the world be humbled, severely abased - many broken and uplifted, and many more broken and condemned, says The Lord.
Therefore concerning these holidays
Of men, which I hate...
Let all those who have received
The love of the Truth depart from them;
Let the division be made clear[2]...
And let those who say they know Me,
Yet make no effort to pick up their
Cross and follow Me,[3] bear the weight
Of their burden in the Day of The Lord.
Therefore, concerning the question of breaking one Commandment in favor of another, the answer is this: I AM FIRST, of which The Commandments also testify. For those who truly love Me seek to obey My voice, and those who obey My voice have also fulfilled The Moral Law. For I am, and have always been the goal at which the Torah aims.[4] And all those in whose heart I am foremost serve Me without constraint, seeking always to place Me first, above all else. For these walk in My ways, doing those same things I did. They do not add to the Word which I have commanded them, nor do they take away from it. Behold, they keep The Commandments of God, as He commanded them and as they are written, and not as the churches of men would have them be."

Scaremongering preaching and wrong doctrine for salvation. Salvation is about the finished work by Christ at the cross. Not about anythin you do.
Once you believe and trust in His work for you and not your own good works for Him you are saved and spiritually baptized into his death and risen to life with him. You are sealed with The holy Spirit and set in heavenly places and secure in Christ. You will still be a sinner in your flesh but God has put away your sins and no longer remembers them.
Salvation is a gift and so is your belief in Him and His Son.
In my opinion with his angry speech Paul Waher here destorts and complicates everything about salvation and being a Christian.
Contiually repenting of your sins? No, you are sorry for your sins and under the grip of his abundant grace and thank Christ that he has already forgiven the sins once and for all 2000 years ago.
When you were saved God has started the good work in you and given us grace and not condemnation. You can only be thankful about what a loving God we have. He is no longer angry, Paul Washer. So relax a bit. He just wants everyone to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Those who do not come to believe in this life or never have heard about Jesus, will meet him in their ressurection and hear his voice. Like the Bible says ... and every man shall bow his knee willingly and confess his name in consent! God will have everyone saved , the Bible says and what he purposes to do he will complete to perfection in due time, because he is a sovereign God. But that is a different theme...
Peace and grace.
"every man shall bow his knee willingly and confess his name in consent"
Must have missed this verse in the Bible.
@@Mic1904 There are lots of verses in the Bible that states this and that every man will ultimately be saved. Organised religion or "Christendom" has failed to see this , and instead made God a small and losing God, unable to restore and save most of his creation.
God says he will have everyone saved and of course what God intends to do, he in due time will perform to perfection.
Do not take my words for it to be the the truth though. I am not a scholar, anyway.
If you are interested though, I will recommend the videos and internet channel of Grace Bible Community Church.
Pastor Rodney Beaulieu of this grace church opened my eyes to a new
understanding of the Bible and the
salvation of all through a series of videos
about this.
A good start would be to watch the video

Well, you do not seam to bother much.I recommended a video for you which would present and elaborate a lot of verses about the salvation of all...
Anyway here are two verses you can ponder on for a start:
Jesus saying in John 12:32
- When I am lifter up from the earth,I will draw everyone to me.
Paul saying in 1.Tim. 4:10-12
-For therefore we suffer reproach,because we trust in living God,who is the Savior of all men,specially of those who believe.
These things command and teach.
@@karekvangarsnes3169 Two immediate issues here. "Because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe". If, as you say, God will save all men, then in what possible way is He the Saviour 'especially' in a unique, different or special way of those that believe?
Secondly, the following verses - while this might seem like a number of verses and questions, they're really only on one main theme, which is how can the Bible describe people going to some manner of eternal punishment if they are saved:
John 5:29
"and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment."
_(Some resurrected to life, but contrasting with some who are resurrected to judgment - which is clearly distinguished as something different from the 'life' that the others get - what is that judgment?)_
2 Thessalonians 1:9
"These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,"
_(How can their destruction be eternal and away from God, if they will be saved. I can even understand if you claimed this verse was about annihilationism where sinners are destroyed entirely, but either way, how can their penalty and destruction be eternal if they are saved?)_
Matthew 25:41
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
_(Why will anyone be departing from God, and departing into eternal fire - whether eternal conscious suffering or annihilation and total destruction - if all are to be saved?)_
John 3:36
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
_(Why? If all will be saved, why will they not see life? Even if you believe people must be purified first, why doesn't this verse say, 'whoever does not obey the Son shall not immediately see life, and the wrath of God remains on him for a time'. Why does God's wrath _*_remain_*_ , and why will they not see life, if they are saved?)_
Daniel 12:2
"And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
_(Why is their shame and contempt everlasting, if they will be saved? And why are only some described as having everlasting life? The everlasting shame and contempt of some is clearly contrasted with the everlasting life of others)_
Not going to listen to anymore podcasts from American Pastors. Sticking to my Bible his commandments and his promises. Read thd Bible people.
I know that I’m saved because I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. And so is anyone else who believes this. I don’t know about you, but Mr. Washer here wants you to really look at yourself instead of at Christ. I mean it sucks to stare at yourself and see how imperfect you are. It’s depressing. And look at Paul Washer’s picture on this video. Why is he so angry? Where’s the joy of his salvation? I don’t see it.
