That’s like saying you would be glad God took preaching out of the hands of men ….so they wouldn’t steal the glory..God chose the agency of man for every facet of the gospel …preach …sing ..pray…and also to lay hands on the sick for them to recover …or speak the Word with authority
Hi, I respect brother Mac Arthur very much, but can you explain this verse Marc 16:16 first, then 15-18. Is Jesus Christ a liar? No, brother. But we make mistakes sometimes but not Jesus. Same Jesus who healed people, he is still the same Heb 13:8 YESTERDAY, TODAY, and FOREVER. He hasn't changed. James 1:17 Speak in tongues 1Cor14. Rom 8:26 Please read these verses again, again, again, again and again..... till you get it. Despite we have grey hairs, and teaching to others, we will still learn from the Spirit of God. If someone experiences God's power really, he will never and ever criticize what God is doing in lifes of many people who love God. Glory to God
a mortal shoveling seminary "teachings" to a Buch of people that is following a man. he is basically a mediator. How proud is this man, to put his name in a version of the Word of God!!!
Wow! Thank you so much! Thanks for compiling all of this truth from scripture! Too many have been deceived…. Believers & potential believers alike are confused by pretenders. So many fakes & pretenders & false teachers!
i love johns teachings and i have listened to them many times but on this i have to say, he didnt do justice to the first passage he read, the verse is SO CLEAR in any translation that 'THESE SIGNS WILL ACCOMPANY THOSE WHO BELIEVE' if jesus was indeed talking about the 12 he would have used a different pronoun than THEY
Context is King, wouldn't you agree? Further on in that passage it talks about they will pick up snakes and they will drink deadly things and not be harmed. So if this were the case today a so-called spiritually gifted miracle believer could chuck down a pint of Clorox bleach and not be harmed or a pint of cyanide and not be harmed or pick up a cobra and be bitten or a poisonous asp and not be harmed. We know this is just not the case today. So contact is always important.
I’m so glad that respected leaders are speaking out against error and doing it with scripture in a compassionate but strong, no waffling, definite way.
Pastor John preaches/teaches Bible doctrine with such clarity my spiritual inner man is easily able to understand the TRUTH of Scripture rightly divided! To GOD ALONE be the glory for gifting this dear man!❤☺
I respect John very much, but I think on this he is compromising. 1. .mark 16 It is was about "those who believed the message of the apostles " - not about the 11 apostles since they were sent out to spread out the message - they were already believers. Almost undetected twist on words (unfortunately it was done intentionally) .... 2. Bases on this video clip- the preaching followed by miracles "were" for non-christians back in apostles days and it was necessary for them in order for the unbelievers to believe the message. Today is NO longer necessary because now "we have the Bible". Right?! That is true, we do have the Bible but the unbeliever don't believe or go by the Bible. They do not care much for the theoretic lectures political or religious message of all kinds . Thousands of religions and gurus out there.( i am Wondering, don't we need the same established method "a preaching follow by signs and miracles"? It is a real practical and Christ like thing - consistent with what Christ did and the early Christians did . We are preached Sunday by Sunday and thought that we need to be "like Christ" and follow Christ's example!!! - But when it comes to really follow Christ example then you become a heretic and of the devil. (Oh that is true Christ was called that too) The apostles did follow Christ example didn't they?) Don't we need to prove that what we preach is true - like Christ and the apostles? Will an unbeliever use the Bible to verify if your message is true and if it is doctrinal and truly Baptist? - WHO CARES!!!! . (The unbeliever does not know the Bible to verify if your preaching is doctrinally correct. He ONLY cared to know what the Word can do OR does for him/her. CAN IT DELIVER what it do what it says it will do-??? What unbeliever can verify if his/her sins were forgiven? None!! Christ did forgave the sins but also physically healed that man saying "take your bed and walk" so you know that the son can forgive and heal. Christ delivered, healed and saved. The same Christ and the same anointing of the Holy Spirit os in you. He is the same today and forever. The question is - why are we talking down the works of Christ in the believers and the life given spirit of God in us. ? The Pharisees just talked, condemned and criticizes Christ and those who followed his example. I am afraid that no very much changed since Christ's time. I love the doctrines of salvation and the Bible but at one point we need to reflect Christ that lives in us in His fulness. For those who are used to blindly believe the preacher don't - verify the word since this message is masterfully twisted and avoiding passages or misrepresent that don't support john's narrative
Wow! This teaching most certainly helps to clarify the confusing chaos that is in our churches! What a BLESSING it is to have the Word of God rightly divided. It is a comfort and protection from deception.
John missed it the disciple can performe miracles in the will of God in Jesus name by the power of the Holly Spirit of God, the Bible's Holly scriptures confirme it.!!!
John MacArthur is a great teacher of the word’s of God. The Truth turns on the light and thought’s that use God’s word to twist it for something that they think makes them look good live in darkness.
John MacArthur is a very good teacher of the scripture. But. No man is Perfect in their Doctrine or theology!! Sir John is not infallible.. he is subject to error because we are all still in this Fallen body, and do not see clearly but through a glass dimly sometimes it appears his teachings that he claims that his teaching Doctrine is without error, but he also claims he is a sinner and subject to fault and error. Brother John sincerely believes his teaching is true including his doctrine of secession. Due to the fact that he has not experienced any Supernatural gifts himself. Mark 16:16 that he refers to , he adds that is what he believes that it was for that time. Only. That is his understanding . That does not make it truth or gospel that is his conviction . I am praying for Brother John that he would receive the baptism of the holy spirit in fire. He claims that he has never heard the voice of the Lord internally or an open vision from the lord. At the age of seven innately I knew and understood that God's children would disappear from the earth in a Flash when God the father said come up! I had experienced spiritual Supernatural dreams and knew of the Rapture, but I didn't know what it was called as a child. At the age of 16 the Lord came to me in an open vision meaning I was fully awake alert and in a room full of about 18 other people. All of a sudden the room went completely White, everybody seem to have disappeared and I heard no chattering of their speech. The voice of the Lord was that in authority of the entire universe speaking. His words were. My Return Is So Soon! It Is Like Today That I'm Coming. I'm Coming In Your Lifetime. You Will Not Die Before I RETURN. Tears rolling down my face, everything returned to Normal.The Majestic power and presence left as quickly as He Came. I did not say anything to the people, I immediately went home to tell my family , they needed Christ and to go to church, that Jesus was returning very soon. By his grace and Province I have had three open Visions in my lifetime. At the age of 16, I began preaching in the streets many people were delivered of demonic Powers casting out demons and many came to Christ. Now 48 years later, technology making it possible that every person can be identified through digital ID. Opening up a gateway to a cashless Society. Digital. Currency.

Halfway through his term cataclysmic changes will take place. The church will be taken out! The true church California San Andreas fault will split open and millions of people perish in a matter of hours. Those that were left behind will see the Book of Revelation open up before their eyes. The mystery that has been revealed to the apostles and Prophets is the first resurrection where the Jew and the Gentile the living and the dead Old Testament Saints and New Testament will be joined together in the clouds and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Revelation 19 reveals that the church is being married to Christ in the marriage supper of the Lamb Perry Revelation 1911 - 16 those that were dressed in fine linen clean and white riding white horses. That is the bride of Christ. Return with Jesus at the second coming when he sets His foot on the Mount of Olives to destroy the Wicked and Dispose lock up the Devil and his demons in the Pit.

Only one question, if tongues were only gifted to the apostles, and not disciples, then why does Paul say to them that they pray well, referring to the saints praying in tongues during the church meeting, but then gave them proper order for them to do it in, as the gift is subject to the believer, for the purpose of maximum edification to all...
Miracles are signs and wonders , if you seek signs you’ll find them not , if you believe and don’t seek you’ll have them , that’s a previous promise from God’s word , seek favor with man and you’ll not have favor with God or man but if you seek favor with God you’ll have favor with God and man . Worship the creator and not the creature , we are in a dark age to say because our trust is in men , namely men of God . I’m grateful we have men of God, but we have to work out our salvation , if we don’t work we don’t eat , our pastor can’t drag us to heaven no matter how tight we hold to his coat tails , strengthen that which remains , always look to the word of God and don’t put much importance in yourself , for your value is in Christ , not in men
His definition of a miracle is horrible. John is very deceiving in his teaching. He explains away the power of God. Please show me biblically where miracles are different today John. Show me where miracles ceased. So no miracles happened in Corinth? So Paul wasted his breath teaching miracles, healing, and the other gifts? He is dumber than I thought. The prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise them up. Where again does it say that healing was for that time only.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power therein: from such turn away 2 Timothy 3:15. John is an awesome scribe, but is in serious error in many instances, e.g. his teaching on the mark of the beast. Scripture teaches that taking the mark is death eternal. But John teaches otherwise. John denies the power of the cross!
Thank you Father for Your Truth, tongues is a sign for the unbelievers, not for me. Years ago when I was young the ministry of my pastor his wife didn’t like his wife pushing tongues. Their was dishonest to her husband from jump street . She was in her middle age. We went to a Christian retreat which she headed it was summertime so on her spare time she wore a bikini, at the time I didn’t realize my husband fell for her. Later when we got home they both talked on the phone every night so I confronted him and he said he loved her, shortly my pastor put a Stop to this. Later her realtor lady friend tryed a healing on the realtors daughter and it didn’t Work. I believe there hearts were in the right place, however it wasn’t Gods will but there’s. I no longer dabble with tongues, I read and study the Word and what a joy!! I’m 75 now and ready for whatever our God has in store for me. I thank you Father God for any discipline you do for fine tuning me to bring honer and Glory for you. I love you Father God , love luba 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You preach this in front of folks in the church I grew up as a kid, you'd probably get booted out. I am in my 40s and when I go visit, I still feel awkward when someone who's presiding tells me that "I have to" be joyous and sing 'loud' to the Lord. Or in previous times, three or four guys would grab me and shake me, push me, shove me, yelling: "RECEIVE THE HOLLY GOST, IN THE NAME OF ....". AND SPEAK IN TONGUES, IN THE NAME OF..." I honestly felt like there was something wrong with me. I didn't fit in with the church, and I didn't fit in with the World. When I got older I went through many types of addictions. Who's fault is it?? Nobody's really. Now I know I live in a fallen nature. And the Spirit of God is solely in His Word.
I am so happy for this teaching. We definitely not need the miracles to be saved except the miracle itself that makes us become children of God and slaves of righteousness. That is marvelous in itself. I love the word slave because it describes our relationship with christ very good. "Very good" is not enough to describe how good it is. Praise God for our safety with him who holds us in his hands!
@@jacktrevis5400 I have a feeling you two may not have payed attention during the sermon. He didn't say God didn't heal believers, he didn't say healing is only intended for unbelievers. He is talking about personally instilled gifts of healing. He is saying that healing is now found in prayer and preaching, not through supernatural ability gifted to a single person. You're misrepresenting what Macarthur said.
Yes thank you Mr MacArthur! He nailed it on the head and I think this is very true...which of course offends many word of faith and prosperity preachers and teachers...and the followers alike.
I am so great full for Men that speak the truth of Gods Word John, but it sounds like you are the deceived one here! I could quote a dozen verses of Scripture, but it sounds like your mind is made up, pride! I have been a student of, Dr. Derek Prince for 40 years, a man called by God to teach Scripture. Healing is clearly for today, or our God would not be, the same yesterday, today, and forever, if healing was not for today. I myself have used my authority and prayed for many people, one lady with Cataracts that disappeared after praying, and many others.
So if the gifts were to confirm the word to unbelievers, what makes today different than in those days? Do we not have non believers today?. Does the Bible not tell us to lay hands on the sick, pray for the sick Heal the sick? Why doesn’t he preach on these things? Is God a respecter of persons? Does God not say I am the same yesterday today and forever? These signs shall follow those that believe. Are there believers today? Nothing he says is backed by scripture. If the gifts were for the apostles why did Paul teach these gifts to the Church of Corinth. Why did Paul say that these signs are for your children, your children’s children, and to those far off. Sorry Johnny. You can’t twist the Truth out of the Bible.
I've been studying sound theology for years... For example eschatology, ecclesiology and soteriology. I love the word I love our Lord Jesus Christ who is on every page... From Genesis to revelation... Thank you again for your servitude John McCarthy we love you...
wow, I am in shock to hear this man. To say the Giftscof the Holly Spirit have cease today, is to say we no longer are members one of the other, is to say we no longer "edify" the Church. This type of doctrine is the result of the rejection to other type of doctrine (Charismatics) so this guy goes to the other extreme of unbelief. To say nobody has the gift of healing today, is to say, nobody has the gift of wisdom, teaching, knowledge, phrofesy (Preach the word of God) discernment of Spirits, tongues (languages), interpretation. People DO NOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE, no wonder why this guy is sick today.
I appreciate you sharing this, as I'm involved in a Pentecostal church right now and am exploring other views on the main UPC/WPF doctrines, like their views on oneness and tongues. I know this video has been up for a while, but I'm hoping someone can address my question. I understand the point he's making that tongues were a sign given to Jews for the sake of unbelievers (Gentiles), and that that would explain why the gift ceased around 70 A.D. There is one scriptural issue I have with this, and that is with Cornelius. He was the first Gentile to convert to the Christian faith as a result of Peter's preaching. He and his servants received the gift of the Holy Ghost, and it says that the apostles heard them speak with tongues and glorify God (Acts 10:46). How does a Gentile speaking in tongues in the book of Acts match up to John MacArthur's teaching?
JESUS did not say and these signs shall follow my 12 disciples but rather..." these signs shall follow them that believe " John MacArthur denies the power of God and the Apostle Paul said that they that deny the power of God from such turn away....he is ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
These signs shall fallow those who believe in my Name those who repent get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ you shall receive the gift of the holy ghost for the promise of the holy ghost is unto you and your children and to all that afar off even as many as the Lord thy God shall Call that's everybody who wants salvation at least until Jesus comes back obey Acts 2 38
I thank God for Pastor John, I have had to leave my Methodist Church due to Unbiblical Doctrine. I am to attend a small group meeting with people who are in the same position as myself. And who have grown to love Pastor John along with the teachings of RC Sproul too. I am very grateful. All Honour and Glory to our Heavenly Father Amen.
@@christinecorrea7514 The Lord of the Sabbath is an expression describing Jesus which appears in all three Synoptic Gospels: Matthew 12:1-8, Mark 2:23-28 and Luke 6:1-5. These sections each relate an encounter between Jesus, his Apostles and the Pharisees, the first of the four "Sabbath controversies" The phrase “the Lord of the Sabbath” is found in Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, and Luke 6:5. In all three instances Jesus is referring to Himself as the Lord of the Sabbath or, as Mark records it, “The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28). In these verses, Jesus is proclaiming that He is the One who exercises authority even over the rules and regulations that govern the Sabbath day. As such, Jesus was proclaiming to the world, especially to the legalistic Pharisees, that He was greater than the Law and above the laws of the Mosaic Covenant because, as God in flesh, He is the Author of those laws. Unable to keep the Law, however, the Pharisees had instituted a complex and confusing system of Sabbath laws of their own that was oppressive and legalistic. They had set up strict laws regarding how to observe the Sabbath, which included 39 categories of forbidden activities. In essence, these religious leaders had made themselves lords of the Sabbath, thus making themselves lords over the people. As Creator, Christ was the original Lord of the Sabbath (John 1:3; Hebrews 1:10). He had the authority to overrule the Pharisees’ traditions and regulations because He had created the Sabbath-and the Creator is always greater than the creation. Furthermore, Jesus claimed the authority to correctly interpret the meaning of the Sabbath and all the laws pertaining to it. Because Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, He is free to do on it and with it whatever He pleases. As Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus had the right, power, and authority to dispense it in any way He pleased. The Lord of the Sabbath had come, and with His death and resurrection He became the fulfillment of our “Sabbath rest.” The salvation we have in Christ has made the old law of the Sabbath no longer needed or binding. When Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27), Jesus was attesting to the fact that, just as the Sabbath day was originally instituted to give man rest from his labors, so did He come to provide us rest from laboring to achieve our own salvation by our works. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, we can now forever cease laboring to attain God’s favor and rest in His mercy and grace.
John missed it the disciple can performe miracles in the will of God in Jesus name by the power of the Holly Spirit of God, the Bible's Holly scriptures confirme it.!!!
Paul speek in Tongues, and he wasnt an unbeliever . There are several types of tongues talked about in 1Cor. 14 , including Spiritual language, not just languages of men . Paul was an Evangelist to the Gentiles, not the Jews , and he said " l wish you would all speak in Tongues " , as far as Healing l've been Healed more than once ,instantly, you know like when Jesus healed the Multitude, along with other individuals . Scripture says that " Tongues will cease , and knowledge will pass away when the perfect comes " Well Tongues haven't ceased , and knowledge hasn't passed away , because the Perfect is Heaven (Face to Face with the Almighty) , the Bible isn't the perfect, as in pastor John MacArthur's interpretation ,l totally Disagree with Dr. John MacArthur's interpretation of Tongues and Healing
Sola Scriptura, John MacArthur should ask, is my salvation real, because no saved person would believe what he teaches. John MacArthur is so ignorant of the Bible, it baffles people who do know the Bible. How can John MacArthur believe the nonsense that he teaches?.
You are not correctbon the tongues is not for the Gentiles. After Jesus passing, Peter in Acts 10: 45, 46. Gentiles received the Holy Ghost and tongues. So where do you say that the Gentiles do not have the gift of tongues
Wow. This is not good. More spiritless religion. Repent and be filled with the spirit! That is the new birth experience that happened at Pentecost, and that Jesus described to Nicodemus - and it will make you speak in tongues all over the place. My mother received it when she was 70. Myself when I was 21. Jesus is still giving it; we better get it! Jesus didn't die for a book, or anything else earthly that folks could have had without Jesus having made such a terrible sacrifice. He died and rose again and presented himself as a worthy sacrifice to his father in heaven to purchase for us life, the kind of life that he and the father have, and it comes into a man speaking. It's not a dumb (silent) spirit. That spirit that doesn't speak when it enters a man is an instead of (anti) spirit. They were around in the disciples day. Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.
A few years ago, I briefly attended a church that was being run by the family of someone that I met at college. It was a Pentecostal church. At the time, I knew nothing about how wrong and harmful charismatic theology really is. My experience at that church was absolutely terrible and this person who had invited me to attend turned out to be an abusive person. Although I have not spoken to this person in years, they are still stalking me to this day and have enlisted anyone they can to help them (my family members, ex friends, ex partners, and anyone else they can get to help them harass me). I'm sick of it. The best thing that came out of that situation was that I started to question many charismatic teachings I had always been taught and my perception of charismatic churches changed. Also, I'm grateful for sound doctrine and how my relationship with God has matured and grown in part due to that experience and unlearning so many wrong things. Still, please pray for me because I am so tired of what being connected to that charismatic church/that person has put me through.
Boy , Mac started on lying to you ! Go to I Corinthians 14 : 1 - 3 , And tongues were for Jews and Gentials , Again the Corithian church where gentiles.
Macarthur has many good teachings. but not this one. Matthew 28:20. Apostles told to teach their disciples EVERYTHING he taught them which includes healing. John 14:12.
There is clear instruction that these gifts, healing, prophesying an tongues were all done in part. That means temporary. It says that when the perfect is come these things done in part will cease. The 'perfect' is in neutral gender which is referring to the completed Bible. Last tongues was in 56ad, and last healing was 70ad. When Jesus saves a person He does not cause them to speak in tongues and use a chaotic emotional event. This is caused by a different spirit who takes opportunity to enter when false teaching is present.
I see God healing any people and delivering many oppressed people from demons and sickness. You are right about the gifts but God does more without the gifts because He is present in our lives today as we believe and lay our hands on the sick they are healed. Mark 16
As you rightly said, "you are right about the gift". Pastor John here is not denying that God can use any of His children to perform miracles or a miracle, but the gift such as that which was given to the apostles to accompany or confirm their preaching died with them. And this my friend is backed by scriptures. (Acts 2:22; 14:3). Some believe the gift of healing and some other sign gifts are no longer operative today, while others believe the miraculous gifts are still in use today. Of course, the power to heal was never in the gifted person himself/herself. The power to heal is from God and God alone. Stay Blessed.
@@solascripturabiblical Pastor John's insistence on the gifts going away does project the nortion that God does not necessarily heal today. At the level he is I don't think it is wise to spend so much time preaching against the healings taking place or emphasizing at the disappearance of the healings when we are living in a world that needs healings and deliverances from the demonic oppression. I have heard him many times labelling praying in tongues as gibberish, 1 Corinthians 14:14, 1 Corinthians 14:2, - 4, Romans 8:26-27, does imply and implicitly states that there is something called praying in tongues. Where does Pastor John gets the permission to call that gibberish?,
@Christian man sadly not so.i personally prayed for the few people who had tested positive and they were healed. The fact that you argue about something you don't know and have never have experience with it's very sad. And to call satanic something God is doing is very regrettable and dangerous
“One of the main reasons why the modern-day Church has been rendered so ineffective and irrelevant in many people’s eyes is they’ve only preached that God is for the hereafter. They’ve made relationship with the Lord a heaven and hell issue, and haven’t preached that He loves us right now.”
First, I am a fan of MacArthur Bible studies. It is always best to check out what some of these people are teaching when watching various video's. Some of them "seem" to know what they are talking about. Have your Bible and pencil and paper ready. Scriptures quite often are incorrect as to location. Names will be wrong. Time lines will be strange. And "their" Hebrew will just be wrong😅. They are just cranking out video's for whatever reason I don't know. I appreciate all you do Mr MacArthur. You have helped me greatly in my journey through the Bible. "And after you've been there ten thousand years a million or two, look for me for I will be there too."
THE REAL TRUTH IS FOUND ONLY IN GODS HOLY INFALLABLE RIGHTEOUS WORD THE HOLY BIBLE NO OTHER BOOKS OR TEACHINGS OF FALLIBLE SINNER MORTAL MANKIND GOD BLESS AND PROTECT US ALL NOW AND ALWAYS FROM SATANS EVIL LYING DEMON PASTORS PHROPHETS LEADERS TEACHERS AND ALL FALSE CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE GOD IS THE ONE TRUE HOLY INFALLIBLE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WE MUST ALL FACE IN THE END GOD CANNOT BE FOOLED OR BEATEN I PRAISE GOD AMEN 🙏
People getting in long lines to be healed doesn’t follow the biblical pattern?… What about Jesus healing all they’re sick… I wonder if they got in lines?
Correction, God does not heal to confirm people-that becomes people centredness, however if you understand that God helps and delivers to confirm His Word then you will understand what God is doing
Thank you for confirming that for me i needed to know why there tongues and miracles in every church but i never saw a miracle for my self unless i was alone it began to rain no clouds on a flat land clear sky poyring rain for no reason but for me to stop and take that in and with testimony
Isn't it a miracle that anyone of us believe and are saved from a lost damned eternity ..?.. especially being dead to begin with ....Life into a Dead corpse ...That's being RAISED FROM THE DEAD ...
John MacArthur is a great expositor of the Holy Scriptures……… but is wrong regarding this message………I as a searcher for truth who was once in great darkness have found that tongues is vital and much alive today as a tremendous assist to the believer and have experienced spiritual conflict at close range…….so boring to hear these preachers who tear pages out of the scriptures and thus make the “faith” impotent to the world.
it's very easy to misunderstand this sermon. I have read a lot of comments saying pastor John MacArthur is limiting God when All he did was read scriptures. God does whatever He pleases and can use anyone to accomplish his word. But I suggest you search scriptures more regarding this Gifts and to whom they where given, and for what purpose too. Or better still you can rewatch the sermon again, then draw your conclusion, and preferably with scriptural references to prove your point. Stay Blessed.
@@solascripturabiblical it's amazing how people get stuck and what they think or believe and don't understand that the scriptures teach by experience and by doctrine that praying in the spirit praying in tongues is a valid testimony for a Christian but many have decoded the scriptures in error to their own harm and to the harm of others. Millions have been seduced to think gifts of the Spirit have been done away leaning to their carnal reasoning.....I as many others am not one of those weak minded individuals. The enemy of your soul does not want you to enter that realm. Read my 1st posting again and do not lean to your own understanding seek the Lord regarding this subject but I doubt you may not know what that means........the God of this world does want you to experience the fullness of our salvation and thus has convinced whole denominations that the Holy Spirit is today impotent in your life.... He has no real power today...those days are over..... I testify before you and God that is not so......the Holy Spirit is with us today as He was with Paul and others Paul sd I pray in tongues more than ye all and he was not one of the original apostles. Peter sd many read the scriptures to their own harm not understanding what they read.....it is still true today........as are all the other scriptures. We will all stand guilty before God because we believed a lie regarding His Holy Spirit.
I believe in talking in tongues. I have seen family members AND evangelist doing this. This is real. But that's MY belief you believe what you want. God knows my heart and only HIM do I owe a explanation.
@@yvonner1318 It‘s funny how so many Christians base their beliefs on personal experience, rather than on scripture. Let me tell you, personal experience never was and never will be the standard for truth, let alone for sound doctrine. If you can‘t base it on scripture, it‘s false.
Nowhere does the Bible say the signs passed when the Apostles were gone. The church today needs God. The fullness of God, The power of God. In the last days there will be a form of Godliness but deny the POWER THEREOF. We have a lot of dead churches with no power. The signs will follow, and do follow those that believe. The problem is there are very few people nowadays that really believe.
Did you two even listen to the sermon? Peter and Paul raised people from the dead. When was the last time you saw anyone Pentecostal raise someone from the dead?
@@rja9784 I am not moved by what I see in churches. I stand on Gods word. But with that being said, my mom received a miracle from cancer, I have seen blind see crippled walk and so on. I believe if God wanted a dead person to raise He will do it.
Cornelius and his ppl.spoke in other languages as they heard the gospel message from Peter and believed. Just as happened to the Jews believers in Acts 2, so Peter and his group knew the gentiles conversion was authentic. They knew to baptize those gentile because of their conversion - that was the purpose of the sign that occurred.
i speak in tounges, so thats wrong? i got delivered? wrong? i saw Healings, oh yes ..wrong? so God is Powerless and his word not for today???TODAY the most important time?? Arthur
You are so wrong...the Gift of salvation includes tongues . You don't have it because you place boundaries on the Gospel. Don't be afraid of the Holy Spirit.
@@RabbiMurray Whoever believes and is baptised shall be saved. No man can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born again ( baptised) of water and the Spirit. Gifts are not evidence of salvation, fruit is , love joy peace etc... the gifts edify the believer and the body of believer's. Those who keep the word of the Lord are his sheep, not those who profess faith in him but don't obey.
Romans 10:9-13 [9]That if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saued. [10]For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnesse, and with the mouth confession is made vnto saluation. [11]For the Scripture saith, Whosoeuer beleeueth on him, shall not bee ashamed. [12]For there is no difference betweene the Iew and the Greeke: for the same Lord ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call vpon him. [13]For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shall be saued.
Actually pastor John is not asking you or anyone to trust him but rather the word of God. If you think he is wrong regarding something he said, then point it out so everyone can see his fault. it will b easier if you use scriptural backing to prove to us why you don't trust him. thanks
@@JasonNapalm72 My point is , if incoherent babble was an issue, why didn’t Peter , James & John mention incoherent babble in their writings ? Eph 5 19-21 . Speaking to yourselves in psalms & hymns & spiritual songs . No babble .
I don’t babble, I speak in a language I don’t know, but everyone who has heard me speak in tongues said it was a beautiful sounding language not a load of robubba bubba babble. I have even looked up a few words I speak and some of it is Hebrew. Just because some fake tongues doesn’t do away with the real.
I'm glad God took the healings out of the hands of man. They would steal the glory that belongs to him only
That’s like saying you would be glad God took preaching out of the hands of men ….so they wouldn’t steal the glory..God chose the agency of man for every facet of the gospel …preach …sing ..pray…and also to lay hands on the sick for them to recover …or speak the Word with authority
Hi, I respect brother Mac Arthur very much, but can you explain this verse Marc 16:16 first, then 15-18. Is Jesus Christ a liar? No, brother. But we make mistakes sometimes but not Jesus.
Same Jesus who healed people, he is still the same Heb 13:8
YESTERDAY, TODAY, and FOREVER. He hasn't changed.
James 1:17
Speak in tongues 1Cor14.
Rom 8:26
Please read these verses again, again, again, again and again..... till you get it.
Despite we have grey hairs,
and teaching to others, we will still learn from the Spirit of God.
If someone experiences God's power really, he will never and ever criticize what God is doing in lifes of many people who love God.
Glory to God
John MacArthur is an absolute treasure to Christianity!
I know right !
Agree 🙏
John MacArthur is a heretic cessationism is heresy a doctrine of demons
a mortal shoveling seminary "teachings" to a Buch of people that is following a man. he is basically a mediator. How proud is this man, to put his name in a version of the Word of God!!!
Wow! Thank you so much! Thanks for compiling all of this truth from scripture! Too many have been deceived…. Believers & potential believers alike are confused by pretenders. So many fakes & pretenders & false teachers!
Read your Bible. The King James Version of scripture. ! Please
i love johns teachings and i have listened to them many times but on this i have to say, he didnt do justice to the first passage he read, the verse is SO CLEAR in any translation that 'THESE SIGNS WILL ACCOMPANY THOSE WHO BELIEVE' if jesus was indeed talking about the 12 he would have used a different pronoun than THEY
Context is King, wouldn't you agree? Further on in that passage it talks about they will pick up snakes and they will drink deadly things and not be harmed. So if this were the case today a so-called spiritually gifted miracle believer could chuck down a pint of Clorox bleach and not be harmed or a pint of cyanide and not be harmed or pick up a cobra and be bitten or a poisonous asp and not be harmed. We know this is just not the case today. So contact is always important.
Context, not contact. Sorry for the typo.
Such a solid teaching!!
Only the true Christians will love him.
@@simonmorlockministries decibels? 😂
True Christians who love him disagree on a lot of these issues.
Thank you for speaking truth!
A miracle is to be delivered from charismatic chaos . I thank John MacArthur foe exposing this error .
So according to you miracles don't exist?
Always a trouble maker.
I’m so glad that respected leaders are speaking out against error and doing it with scripture in a compassionate but strong, no waffling, definite way.
Great sermon, wish I could get his sermons on dvd because of increasing censorship of Christian messages. It may soon be banned on most media outlets.
Pastor John preaches/teaches Bible doctrine with such clarity my spiritual inner man is easily able to understand the TRUTH of Scripture rightly divided! To GOD ALONE be the glory for gifting this dear man!❤☺
I respect John very much, but I think on this he is compromising. 1. .mark 16 It is was about "those who believed the message of the apostles " - not about the 11 apostles since they were sent out to spread out the message - they were already believers. Almost undetected twist on words (unfortunately it was done intentionally) ....
2. Bases on this video clip- the preaching followed by miracles "were" for non-christians back in apostles days and it was necessary for them in order for the unbelievers to believe the message. Today is NO longer necessary because now "we have the Bible". Right?! That is true, we do have the Bible but the unbeliever don't believe or go by the Bible. They do not care much for the theoretic lectures political or religious message of all kinds . Thousands of religions and gurus out there.( i am Wondering, don't we need the same established method "a preaching follow by signs and miracles"? It is a real practical and Christ like thing - consistent with what Christ did and the early Christians did . We are preached Sunday by Sunday and thought that we need to be "like Christ" and follow Christ's example!!! - But when it comes to really follow Christ example then you become a heretic and of the devil. (Oh that is true Christ was called that too) The apostles did follow Christ example didn't they?) Don't we need to prove that what we preach is true - like Christ and the apostles? Will an unbeliever use the Bible to verify if your message is true and if it is doctrinal and truly Baptist? - WHO CARES!!!! . (The unbeliever does not know the Bible to verify if your preaching is doctrinally correct. He ONLY cared to know what the Word can do OR does for him/her. CAN IT DELIVER what it do what it says it will do-??? What unbeliever can verify if his/her sins were forgiven? None!! Christ did forgave the sins but also physically healed that man saying "take your bed and walk" so you know that the son can forgive and heal. Christ delivered, healed and saved. The same Christ and the same anointing of the Holy Spirit os in you. He is the same today and forever. The question is - why are we talking down the works of Christ in the believers and the life given spirit of God in us. ? The Pharisees just talked, condemned and criticizes Christ and those who followed his example. I am afraid that no very much changed since Christ's time. I love the doctrines of salvation and the Bible but at one point we need to reflect Christ that lives in us in His fulness.
For those who are used to blindly believe the preacher don't - verify the word since this message is masterfully twisted and avoiding passages or misrepresent that don't support john's narrative

John MacArthur is a great teacher of the word’s of God. The Truth turns on the light and thought’s that use God’s word to twist it for something that they think makes them look good live in darkness.
John MacArthur is a very good teacher of the scripture. But. No man is Perfect in their Doctrine or theology!! Sir John is not infallible.. he is subject to error because we are all still in this Fallen body, and do not see clearly but through a glass dimly sometimes it appears his teachings that he claims that his teaching Doctrine is without error, but he also claims he is a sinner and subject to fault and error. Brother John sincerely believes his teaching is true including his doctrine of secession. Due to the fact that he has not experienced any Supernatural gifts himself. Mark 16:16 that he refers to , he adds that is what he believes that it was for that time. Only. That is his understanding . That does not make it truth or gospel that is his conviction . I am praying for Brother John that he would receive the baptism of the holy spirit in fire. He claims that he has never heard the voice of the Lord internally or an open vision from the lord. At the age of seven innately I knew and understood that God's children would disappear from the earth in a Flash when God the father said come up! I had experienced spiritual Supernatural dreams and knew of the Rapture, but I didn't know what it was called as a child. At the age of 16 the Lord came to me in an open vision meaning I was fully awake alert and in a room full of about 18 other people. All of a sudden the room went completely White, everybody seem to have disappeared and I heard no chattering of their speech. The voice of the Lord was that in authority of the entire universe speaking. His words were. My Return Is So Soon! It Is Like Today That I'm Coming. I'm Coming In Your Lifetime. You Will Not Die Before I RETURN. Tears rolling down my face, everything returned to Normal.The Majestic power and presence left as quickly as He Came. I did not say anything to the people, I immediately went home to tell my family , they needed Christ and to go to church, that Jesus was returning very soon. By his grace and Province I have had three open Visions in my lifetime. At the age of 16, I began preaching in the streets many people were delivered of demonic Powers casting out demons and many came to Christ. Now 48 years later, technology making it possible that every person can be identified through digital ID. Opening up a gateway to a cashless Society. Digital. Currency.

Halfway through his term cataclysmic changes will take place. The church will be taken out! The true church California San Andreas fault will split open and millions of people perish in a matter of hours. Those that were left behind will see the Book of Revelation open up before their eyes. The mystery that has been revealed to the apostles and Prophets is the first resurrection where the Jew and the Gentile the living and the dead Old Testament Saints and New Testament will be joined together in the clouds and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Revelation 19 reveals that the church is being married to Christ in the marriage supper of the Lamb Perry Revelation 1911 - 16 those that were dressed in fine linen clean and white riding white horses. That is the bride of Christ. Return with Jesus at the second coming when he sets His foot on the Mount of Olives to destroy the Wicked and Dispose lock up the Devil and his demons in the Pit.
Maranatha
McArthur is so wise and bold!!
Only one question, if tongues were only gifted to the apostles, and not disciples, then why does Paul say to them that they pray well, referring to the saints praying in tongues during the church meeting, but then gave them proper order for them to do it in, as the gift is subject to the believer, for the purpose of maximum edification to all...
I speak in tongues and I am glad I do turn away from MacArthur and his heresy he is deceived
Miracles are signs and wonders , if you seek signs you’ll find them not , if you believe and don’t seek you’ll have them , that’s a previous promise from God’s word , seek favor with man and you’ll not have favor with God or man but if you seek favor with God you’ll have favor with God and man . Worship the creator and not the creature , we are in a dark age to say because our trust is in men , namely men of God . I’m grateful we have men of God, but we have to work out our salvation , if we don’t work we don’t eat , our pastor can’t drag us to heaven no matter how tight we hold to his coat tails , strengthen that which remains , always look to the word of God and don’t put much importance in yourself , for your value is in Christ , not in men
His definition of a miracle is horrible. John is very deceiving in his teaching. He explains away the power of God. Please show me biblically where miracles are different today John. Show me where miracles ceased. So no miracles happened in Corinth? So Paul wasted his breath teaching miracles, healing, and the other gifts? He is dumber than I thought. The prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise them up. Where again does it say that healing was for that time only.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power therein: from such turn away 2 Timothy 3:15.
John is an awesome scribe, but is in serious error in many instances, e.g. his teaching on the mark of the beast. Scripture teaches that taking the mark is death eternal. But John teaches otherwise. John denies the power of the cross!
Thank you Father for Your Truth, tongues is a sign for the unbelievers, not for me. Years ago when I was young the ministry of my pastor his wife didn’t like his wife pushing tongues. Their was dishonest to her husband from jump street . She was in her middle age. We went to a Christian retreat which she headed it was summertime so on her spare time she wore a bikini, at the time I didn’t realize my husband fell for her. Later when we got home they both talked on the phone every night so I confronted him and he said he loved her, shortly my pastor put a Stop to this. Later her realtor lady friend tryed a healing on the realtors daughter and it didn’t Work. I believe there hearts were in the right place, however it wasn’t Gods will but there’s. I no longer dabble with tongues, I read and study the Word and what a joy!! I’m 75 now and ready for whatever our God has in store for me. I thank you Father God for any discipline you do for fine tuning me to bring honer and Glory for you. I love you Father God , love luba 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You preach this in front of folks in the church I grew up as a kid, you'd probably get booted out. I am in my 40s and when I go visit, I still feel awkward when someone who's presiding tells me that "I have to" be joyous and sing 'loud' to the Lord.
Or in previous times, three or four guys would grab me and shake me, push me, shove me, yelling: "RECEIVE THE HOLLY GOST, IN THE NAME OF ....". AND SPEAK IN TONGUES, IN THE NAME OF..."
I honestly felt like there was something wrong with me. I didn't fit in with the church, and I didn't fit in with the World. When I got older I went through many types of addictions. Who's fault is it?? Nobody's really. Now I know I live in a fallen nature. And the Spirit of God is solely in His Word.
I am so happy for this teaching. We definitely not need the miracles to be saved except the miracle itself that makes us become children of God and slaves of righteousness. That is marvelous in itself. I love the word slave because it describes our relationship with christ very good. "Very good" is not enough to describe how good it is. Praise God for our safety with him who holds us in his hands!
I disagree that the healing is only intended for unbelievers
why would God HEAL the unbelievers , and not heal the believers .....that makes no sense!!! John Macarthur is wrong on this one!
@@jacktrevis5400 that's true. Which perfect father who only relieve the children and neglect his own children? God heals believers too
Healings are signs to the unbelievers for confirmation. He didn't say it is wrought for unbelievers only
@@jacktrevis5400 I have a feeling you two may not have payed attention during the sermon. He didn't say God didn't heal believers, he didn't say healing is only intended for unbelievers. He is talking about personally instilled gifts of healing. He is saying that healing is now found in prayer and preaching, not through supernatural ability gifted to a single person. You're misrepresenting what Macarthur said.
He meant it was to convert unbelievers with the miracle

Yes thank you Mr MacArthur! He nailed it on the head and I think this is very true...which of course offends many word of faith and prosperity preachers and teachers...and the followers alike.
I am so great full for Men that speak the truth of Gods Word John, but it sounds like you are the deceived one here! I could quote a dozen verses of Scripture, but it sounds like your mind is made up, pride! I have been a student of, Dr. Derek Prince for 40 years, a man called by God to teach Scripture. Healing is clearly for today, or our God would not be, the same yesterday, today, and forever, if healing was not for today. I myself have used my authority and prayed for many people, one lady with Cataracts that disappeared after praying, and many others.
So if the gifts were to confirm the word to unbelievers, what makes today different than in those days? Do we not have non believers today?. Does the Bible not tell us to lay hands on the sick, pray for the sick Heal the sick? Why doesn’t he preach on these things? Is God a respecter of persons? Does God not say I am the same yesterday today and forever? These signs shall follow those that believe. Are there believers today? Nothing he says is backed by scripture. If the gifts were for the apostles why did Paul teach these gifts to the Church of Corinth. Why did Paul say that these signs are for your children, your children’s children, and to those far off. Sorry Johnny. You can’t twist the Truth out of the Bible.
I've been studying sound theology for years... For example eschatology, ecclesiology and soteriology. I love the word I love our Lord Jesus Christ who is on every page... From Genesis to revelation... Thank you again for your servitude John McCarthy we love you...
wow, I am in shock to hear this man. To say the Giftscof the Holly Spirit have cease today, is to say we no longer are members one of the other, is to say we no longer "edify" the Church. This type of doctrine is the result of the rejection to other type of doctrine (Charismatics) so this guy goes to the other extreme of unbelief. To say nobody has the gift of healing today, is to say, nobody has the gift of wisdom, teaching, knowledge, phrofesy (Preach the word of God) discernment of Spirits, tongues (languages), interpretation. People DO NOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE, no wonder why this guy is sick today.
I appreciate you sharing this, as I'm involved in a Pentecostal church right now and am exploring other views on the main UPC/WPF doctrines, like their views on oneness and tongues.
I know this video has been up for a while, but I'm hoping someone can address my question. I understand the point he's making that tongues were a sign given to Jews for the sake of unbelievers (Gentiles), and that that would explain why the gift ceased around 70 A.D. There is one scriptural issue I have with this, and that is with Cornelius. He was the first Gentile to convert to the Christian faith as a result of Peter's preaching. He and his servants received the gift of the Holy Ghost, and it says that the apostles heard them speak with tongues and glorify God (Acts 10:46).
How does a Gentile speaking in tongues in the book of Acts match up to John MacArthur's teaching?
JESUS did not say and these signs shall follow my 12 disciples but rather..." these signs shall follow them that believe " John MacArthur denies the power of God and the Apostle Paul said that they that deny the power of God from such turn away....he is ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
SOooooo Your smarter than John MacCarther?
These signs shall fallow those who believe in my Name those who repent get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ you shall receive the gift of the holy ghost for the promise of the holy ghost is unto you and your children and to all that afar off even as many as the Lord thy God shall Call that's everybody who wants salvation at least until Jesus comes back obey Acts 2 38
I thank God for Pastor John, I have had to leave my Methodist Church due to Unbiblical Doctrine.
I am to attend a small group meeting with people who are in the same position as myself. And who have grown to love Pastor John along with the teachings of RC Sproul too. I am very grateful. All Honour and Glory to our Heavenly Father Amen.
Praise Be To God. 🙌
This is just not a simple subject, and I greatly appreciate MacArthur’s thoughtful, nuanced, and thoroughly scriptural view.
@@stephenkovaka266
Hi, can you explain why this isn't a simple subject.
And do you have any thoughts about the Sabbath
@@christinecorrea7514 The Lord of the Sabbath is an expression describing Jesus which appears in all three Synoptic Gospels: Matthew 12:1-8, Mark 2:23-28 and Luke 6:1-5. These sections each relate an encounter between Jesus, his Apostles and the Pharisees, the first of the four "Sabbath controversies"
The phrase “the Lord of the Sabbath” is found in Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, and Luke 6:5. In all three instances Jesus is referring to Himself as the Lord of the Sabbath or, as Mark records it, “The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28). In these verses, Jesus is proclaiming that He is the One who exercises authority even over the rules and regulations that govern the Sabbath day.
As such, Jesus was proclaiming to the world, especially to the legalistic Pharisees, that He was greater than the Law and above the laws of the Mosaic Covenant because, as God in flesh, He is the Author of those laws. Unable to keep the Law, however, the Pharisees had instituted a complex and confusing system of Sabbath laws of their own that was oppressive and legalistic. They had set up strict laws regarding how to observe the Sabbath, which included 39 categories of forbidden activities. In essence, these religious leaders had made themselves lords of the Sabbath, thus making themselves lords over the people.
As Creator, Christ was the original Lord of the Sabbath (John 1:3; Hebrews 1:10). He had the authority to overrule the Pharisees’ traditions and regulations because He had created the Sabbath-and the Creator is always greater than the creation. Furthermore, Jesus claimed the authority to correctly interpret the meaning of the Sabbath and all the laws pertaining to it. Because Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, He is free to do on it and with it whatever He pleases.
As Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus had the right, power, and authority to dispense it in any way He pleased. The Lord of the Sabbath had come, and with His death and resurrection He became the fulfillment of our “Sabbath rest.” The salvation we have in Christ has made the old law of the Sabbath no longer needed or binding. When Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27), Jesus was attesting to the fact that, just as the Sabbath day was originally instituted to give man rest from his labors, so did He come to provide us rest from laboring to achieve our own salvation by our works. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, we can now forever cease laboring to attain God’s favor and rest in His mercy and grace.

Paul speek in Tongues, and he wasnt an unbeliever . There are several types of tongues talked about in 1Cor. 14 , including Spiritual language, not just languages of men . Paul was an Evangelist to the Gentiles, not the Jews , and he said " l wish you would all speak in Tongues " , as far as Healing l've been Healed more than once ,instantly, you know like when Jesus healed the Multitude, along with other individuals . Scripture says that " Tongues will cease , and knowledge will pass away when the perfect comes " Well Tongues haven't ceased , and knowledge hasn't passed away , because the Perfect is Heaven (Face to Face with the Almighty) , the Bible isn't the perfect, as in pastor John MacArthur's interpretation ,l totally Disagree with Dr. John MacArthur's interpretation of Tongues and Healing
Sola Scriptura, John MacArthur should ask, is my salvation real, because no saved person would believe what he teaches.
John MacArthur is so ignorant of the Bible, it baffles people who do know the Bible. How can John MacArthur believe the nonsense that he teaches?.
You are not correctbon the tongues is not for the Gentiles. After Jesus passing, Peter in Acts 10: 45, 46. Gentiles received the Holy Ghost and tongues. So where do you say that the Gentiles do not have the gift of tongues
Your talking about a false talking, pastor you need to honour the Word of God, Jeremiah 10: 1-14, 21-25
Pastor John MacArthur what about Peter ministering to Cornelius Cornelius and his family believes the gospel they speak in tongue they are gentiles
U mean Hebrew. What If UR cursing God unknowingly. And the languages were Real
Wow. This is not good. More spiritless religion.
Repent and be filled with the spirit! That is the new birth experience that happened at Pentecost, and that Jesus described to Nicodemus - and it will make you speak in tongues all over the place.
My mother received it when she was 70. Myself when I was 21. Jesus is still giving it; we better get it!
Jesus didn't die for a book, or anything else earthly that folks could have had without Jesus having made such a terrible sacrifice. He died and rose again and presented himself as a worthy sacrifice to his father in heaven to purchase for us life, the kind of life that he and the father have, and it comes into a man speaking. It's not a dumb (silent) spirit. That spirit that doesn't speak when it enters a man is an instead of (anti) spirit. They were around in the disciples day. Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.
Had I not experienced miracles for myself
There is such a thing as Angels of light. Yes, they R real,,, But U better test that spirit¡!!!!
A few years ago, I briefly attended a church that was being run by the family of someone that I met at college. It was a Pentecostal church. At the time, I knew nothing about how wrong and harmful charismatic theology really is. My experience at that church was absolutely terrible and this person who had invited me to attend turned out to be an abusive person. Although I have not spoken to this person in years, they are still stalking me to this day and have enlisted anyone they can to help them (my family members, ex friends, ex partners, and anyone else they can get to help them harass me). I'm sick of it. The best thing that came out of that situation was that I started to question many charismatic teachings I had always been taught and my perception of charismatic churches changed.
Also, I'm grateful for sound doctrine and how my relationship with God has matured and grown in part due to that experience and unlearning so many wrong things. Still, please pray for me because I am so tired of what being connected to that charismatic church/that person has put me through.
One verse saying the gifts have ceased please? Says we should ask for the gifts but prefer prophesying (teaching, not foretelling).

Cessationism has 0 basis on scripture
Context is important.
This limitation of the miracles to the Apostolic error is error in itself, because you are not God who decides when they should seize.
Scripture says it will seize and why because it's no longer required anymore
Amazing conviction coming from his preaching
You are misinformed
I disagree sorry.
Macarthur has many good teachings. but not this one. Matthew 28:20. Apostles told to teach their disciples EVERYTHING he taught them which includes healing. John 14:12.
Excellent
There is clear instruction that these gifts, healing, prophesying an tongues were all done in part. That means temporary. It says that when the perfect is come these things done in part will cease. The 'perfect' is in neutral gender which is referring to the completed Bible. Last tongues was in 56ad, and last healing was 70ad. When Jesus saves a person He does not cause them to speak in tongues and use a chaotic emotional event. This is caused by a different spirit who takes opportunity to enter when false teaching is present.
I see God healing any people and delivering many oppressed people from demons and sickness. You are right about the gifts but God does more without the gifts because He is present in our lives today as we believe and lay our hands on the sick they are healed. Mark 16
As you rightly said, "you are right about the gift". Pastor John here is not denying that God can use any of His children to perform miracles or a miracle, but the gift such as that which was given to the apostles to accompany or confirm their preaching died with them. And this my friend is backed by scriptures. (Acts 2:22; 14:3).
Some believe the gift of healing and some other sign gifts are no longer operative today, while others believe the miraculous gifts are still in use today. Of course, the power to heal was never in the gifted person himself/herself. The power to heal is from God and God alone.
Stay Blessed.
@@solascripturabiblical Pastor John's insistence on the gifts going away does project the nortion that God does not necessarily heal today. At the level he is I don't think it is wise to spend so much time preaching against the healings taking place or emphasizing at the disappearance of the healings when we are living in a world that needs healings and deliverances from the demonic oppression. I have heard him many times labelling praying in tongues as gibberish, 1 Corinthians 14:14, 1 Corinthians 14:2, - 4, Romans 8:26-27, does imply and implicitly states that there is something called praying in tongues. Where does Pastor John gets the permission to call that gibberish?,
@Christian man sadly not so.i personally prayed for the few people who had tested positive and they were healed. The fact that you argue about something you don't know and have never have experience with it's very sad. And to call satanic something God is doing is very regrettable and dangerous
Utter nonsense..how is the sola scriptura folks believe such nonsense w no basis in scripture
“One of the main reasons why the modern-day Church has been rendered so ineffective and irrelevant in many people’s eyes is they’ve only preached that God is for the hereafter. They’ve made relationship with the Lord a heaven and hell issue, and haven’t preached that He loves us right now.”
You'd better hope you're not cursing the Lord unknowingly. I believe it is mystical,
Good teaching
First, I am a fan of MacArthur Bible studies. It is always best to check out what some of these people are teaching when watching various video's. Some of them "seem" to know what they are talking about. Have your Bible and pencil and paper ready. Scriptures quite often are incorrect as to location. Names will be wrong. Time lines will be strange. And "their" Hebrew will just be wrong😅. They are just cranking out video's for whatever reason I don't know. I appreciate all you do Mr MacArthur. You have helped me greatly in my journey through the Bible. "And after you've been there ten thousand years a million or two, look for me for I will be there too."
See: Billy crone/ charismatic chaos. You'll be very surprised. But, when he slips rapture in, turn your ears off.
Citation proving God stopped power thru faith please. Aren't we to avoid them that deny His power?
I do believe they go to some closed room,, cut the lights off, speak in unknown language until something supernatural happens
Its the Holz Spirit Brother. Not man who does it and you habe Authority, right? we are maker of the word not just listener
I agree that your right
THE REAL TRUTH IS FOUND ONLY IN GODS HOLY INFALLABLE RIGHTEOUS WORD THE HOLY BIBLE NO OTHER BOOKS OR TEACHINGS OF FALLIBLE SINNER MORTAL MANKIND GOD BLESS AND PROTECT US ALL NOW AND ALWAYS FROM SATANS EVIL LYING DEMON PASTORS PHROPHETS LEADERS TEACHERS AND ALL FALSE CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE GOD IS THE ONE TRUE HOLY INFALLIBLE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WE MUST ALL FACE IN THE END GOD CANNOT BE FOOLED OR BEATEN I PRAISE GOD AMEN 🙏
People getting in long lines to be healed doesn’t follow the biblical pattern?… What about Jesus healing all they’re sick… I wonder if they got in lines?
what's wrong with having or believing in gifts, let the Holy Spirit do he's thing..I don't get it
But the fact that it edifys the person doing it is proof that what you claim is gibberish tongues actually exists and does have a purpose
Correction, God does not heal to confirm people-that becomes people centredness, however if you understand that God helps and delivers to confirm His Word then you will understand what God is doing
Thank you for confirming that for me i needed to know why there tongues and miracles in every church but i never saw a miracle for my self unless i was alone it began to rain no clouds on a flat land clear sky poyring rain for no reason but for me to stop and take that in and with testimony
Isn't it a miracle that anyone of us believe and are saved from a lost damned eternity ..?.. especially being dead to begin with ....Life into a Dead corpse ...That's being RAISED FROM THE DEAD ...
yes, and then youre have to walk like Christ.
why does he keep saying that miracles deny the finality of the word
The biggest lie from Satan is once saved always saved!
facts
John MacArthur is a great expositor of the Holy Scriptures……… but is wrong regarding this message………I as a searcher for truth who was once in great darkness have found that tongues is vital and much alive today as a tremendous assist to the believer and have experienced spiritual conflict at close range…….so boring to hear these preachers who tear pages out of the scriptures and thus make the “faith” impotent to the world.
it's very easy to misunderstand this sermon. I have read a lot of comments saying pastor John MacArthur is limiting God when All he did was read scriptures. God does whatever He pleases and can use anyone to accomplish his word. But I suggest you search scriptures more regarding this Gifts and to whom they where given, and for what purpose too. Or better still you can rewatch the sermon again, then draw your conclusion, and preferably
with scriptural references to prove your point.
Stay Blessed.
@@solascripturabiblical it's amazing how people get stuck and what they think or believe and don't understand that the scriptures teach by experience and by doctrine that praying in the spirit praying in tongues is a valid testimony for a Christian but many have decoded the scriptures in error to their own harm and to the harm of others. Millions have been seduced to think gifts of the Spirit have been done away leaning to their carnal reasoning.....I as many others am not one of those weak minded individuals. The enemy of your soul does not want you to enter that realm. Read my 1st posting again and do not lean to your own understanding seek the Lord regarding this subject but I doubt you may not know what that means........the God of this world does want you to experience the fullness of our salvation and thus has convinced whole denominations that the Holy Spirit is today impotent in your life.... He has no real power today...those days are over..... I testify before you and God that is not so......the Holy Spirit is with us today as He was with Paul and others Paul sd I pray in tongues more than ye all and he was not one of the original apostles. Peter sd many read the scriptures to their own harm not understanding what they read.....it is still true today........as are all the other scriptures. We will all stand guilty before God because we believed a lie regarding His Holy Spirit.
@@solascripturabiblical I suggest u read my comment again maybe on your knees in great consecration......
I believe in talking in tongues. I have seen family members AND evangelist doing this. This is real. But that's MY belief you believe what you want. God knows my heart and only HIM do I owe a explanation.
@@yvonner1318 It‘s funny how so many Christians base their beliefs on personal experience, rather than on scripture. Let me tell you, personal experience never was and never will be the standard for truth, let alone for sound doctrine. If you can‘t base it on scripture, it‘s false.
If Satan can heal, can we really blame the Pharisees for attributing Satan to Jesus ability to heal?
you know thats what I also say but I thank God that i was born in this era.
Nowhere does the Bible say the signs passed when the Apostles were gone. The church today needs God. The fullness of God, The power of God. In the last days there will be a form of Godliness but deny the POWER THEREOF. We have a lot of dead churches with no power. The signs will follow, and do follow those that believe. The problem is there are very few people nowadays that really believe.
Did you two even listen to the sermon? Peter and Paul raised people from the dead. When was the last time you saw anyone Pentecostal raise someone from the dead?
@@rja9784 I am not moved by what I see in churches. I stand on Gods word. But with that being said, my mom received a miracle from cancer, I have seen blind see crippled walk and so on. I believe if God wanted a dead person to raise He will do it.
@@righteousrebelmedia5934 I believe Gos can do whatever He wants. But God no longer uses men to do His miracle work
When was this sermon preached?
Thank You Sir ..
Yes okay sounds like word is established by itself
Can’t find a biblical church
What about Cornelias?
What about him?
Cornelius and his ppl.spoke in other languages as they heard the gospel message from Peter and believed. Just as happened to the Jews believers in Acts 2, so Peter and his group knew the gentiles conversion was authentic. They knew to baptize those gentile because of their conversion - that was the purpose of the sign that occurred.
Yes is ment for us, believers. Still
I spoke in tongues after I smoked some fake bake before. Never any other time
Tongues are human languages, not gibberish.
Miracles, Healing and Tongues are normal as a believer. Dont Know what you talking Brother dont hold the Spirit back.
you wrong
Whatever dude.
i speak in tounges, so thats wrong? i got delivered? wrong? i saw Healings, oh yes ..wrong? so God is Powerless and his word not for today???TODAY the most important time?? Arthur
Legalisem
You are so wrong...the Gift of salvation includes tongues . You don't have it because you place boundaries on the Gospel. Don't be afraid of the Holy Spirit.
So if you dont have tounges you are not saved ?
@@RabbiMurray Whoever believes and is baptised shall be saved. No man can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born again ( baptised) of water and the Spirit. Gifts are not evidence of salvation, fruit is , love joy peace etc... the gifts edify the believer and the body of believer's. Those who keep the word of the Lord are his sheep, not those who profess faith in him but don't obey.
Romans 10:9-13
[9]That if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saued.
[10]For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnesse, and with the mouth confession is made vnto saluation.
[11]For the Scripture saith, Whosoeuer beleeueth on him, shall not bee ashamed.
[12]For there is no difference betweene the Iew and the Greeke: for the same Lord ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call vpon him.
[13]For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shall be saued.
Speaking in tongues are human languages, not gibberish .
Yes and they never go to hospital's but only Their churches'
why would God HEAL the unbelievers , and not heal the believers .....that makes no sense!!! John Macarthur is wrong on this one
@@jacktrevis5400You are not understanding.
The miracles were to confirm the claims to unbelievers so they may be converted.
I do not trust MacArthur. Feel something is wrong.
Actually pastor John is not asking you or anyone to trust him but rather the word of God. If you think he is wrong regarding something he said, then point it out so everyone can see his fault. it will b easier if you use scriptural backing to prove to us why you don't trust him. thanks
@@solascripturabiblical I’m amazed at the trolls that have nothing of value to add!
@@jesusfaith2232 you like my trolling 🧌🧌
Amen
I speak in tongues as The Holy Spirit wills and also have been used in the gift of healings
John never mentioned tongues in Revelation . Peter never mentioned tongues. Neither did James ,Isaiah or Zechariah .
@@lulurosenkrantz3720 hello there. Paul and Peter and John all spoke in tongues, the latter two in the book of acts. I don’t understand your comment.
@@JasonNapalm72 My point is , if incoherent babble was an issue, why didn’t Peter , James & John mention incoherent babble in their writings ? Eph 5 19-21 . Speaking to yourselves in psalms & hymns & spiritual songs . No babble .
I don’t babble, I speak in a language I don’t know, but everyone who has heard me speak in tongues said it was a beautiful sounding language not a load of robubba bubba babble. I have even looked up a few words I speak and some of it is Hebrew. Just because some fake tongues doesn’t do away with the real.
Also nobody faked tongues in the early church, so babble wasn’t a thing.
