I think this is an excellent lecture! It's SO important to rightly dividing the scriptures. So many destructive doctrines and beliefs in the christianity by not doing it. One of these is lordship salvation, which he rebukes in the video. We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone!
35:37 Actually that's not true... (Gal 4:29) But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also. SO IT IS NOW ALSO SO IT IS NOW ALSO SO IT IS NOW ALSO Born again...born from above...born of the Spirit...same thing!
@@bhrismaw-q Two thieves...one believed the other did not. Is this evidence of 'free will' ? Jesus said...unless one is born of the Spirit he CANNOT enter the kingdom of God (John 3:1-8) So either Jesus was lying or the man who believed was born of the Spirit. For Jesus said...TODAY you will be with Me in Paradise ( Luke 23:43). Question: According to Scripture...which comes first...faith or being born of the Spirit? (1 Cor 12:3) ...and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. But some preach we make a decision to believe...and THEN we're born of the Spirit. How backward is that! The Lord's not in the business of begging people to love and believe in Him...He's in the business of making New Creatures in Christ. It's called regeneration. It's being born of the Spirit...born of God. Jesus' use of the word "born" is purposeful...as if to let us know...you had nothing to do with this! Did we choose to be born the first time? And why does any of this matter? It only matters if truth matters. Because when Pastors teach their congregation that faith is something we elicit from within...rather than in being a miraculous work of God...the belief ends up being perpetuated throughout their teaching. It doesn't mean everything they say is wrong...it just means their conclusion about faith and how men actually come TO faith is inaccurate. When one couples the man-made 'doctrine' of 'free will' with the Bible...naturally there is going to be "tension". Do away with the sovereignty of man, as faith is concerned, and the tension disappears. Even the desire to seek Him...is a work from above All the actions below are accomplished by God (and we know God is Spirit). Drawn by the Spirit (John 6:44) Quickened and made alive by the Spirit (John 6:63), (Eph 2:1), (Eph 2:5) Sealed by the Spirit (Eph 1:13 KJV) Sealed has to do with the believers eternal security...which is also brought out in Eph 4:30...whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Some have used “born again” as a way to separate the devout from the nominal Christian. Unfortunately, many believe they are saved because they have a “born again” feeling, changed life, or emotional experience and have no testimony of trusting Christ’s finished work on the cross. When studied from the Bible rightly divided, “born again” is something that only Israel could do. No Gentile could be born again. To understand why only Israel could be born again, we must know how they were born the first time. In Exodus the nation of Israel was born the first time when God delivered them out of Egypt. The LORD calls the nation his firstborn son. “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me…” - Exodus 4:22-23 Having been delivered and redeemed from Egypt, Israel was given the law, the Mosaic covenant, that sanctified them as a people. Over time Israel became disobedient and where the law was sin abounded. They were no longer bound by Egypt, but they were bound by the covenant to their sins with no way out. As Israel’s sins grew it was clear that merely being born a Jew into the promises and covenants of God was not able to cause them to serve the Lord. The prophets spoke of a better covenant that would replace the old for the house of Israel (Jer 31:31). This new covenant would include the impartation of God’s Spirit to cause them to walk in his statutes (Eze 36:27). It was this new covenant that was necessary for God to fulfill his kingdom promises to Israel. That the prophets already spoke about Israel’s new covenant is why when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about being born again he said: “Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?” - John 3:10 Nicodemus should have known that Israel had a great need, and that the need was for their nation to be redeemed from their old covenant bondage to enter the kingdom God had promised them. “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” - John 3:3 Jesus made it clear to Nicodemus that the nation had to be born again when he said “Ye must be born again.” (John 3:7 -We know that “ye” is the plural pronoun; and “thee” the singular.) Jesus came to Israel ministering their need for being born again through a better covenant. No longer would Israel be identified by the old covenant but by the new. People who think they are born again must also think they are in some way Israel.

So refreshing to hear a straightforward message....John Macarthur should take notes
Great message!!
Gets really good around the 38:00 mark where he dismantles the works backloading Calvinist heretics like John Macarthur
Wow. Some good preaching brother.
God Bless you.
Love this man, your beautiful message of grace is what the body needs to hear. Keep it up my brother
The confusing part is where it says "a man" - can anyone speak on that part? Sorry if it was something I missed. Otherwise it all makes perfect sense.
35:37 Actually that's not true...
(Gal 4:29)
But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.
SO IT IS NOW ALSO

Born again...born from above...born of the Spirit...same thing!

In Exodus the nation of Israel was born the first time when God delivered them out of Egypt. The LORD calls the nation his firstborn son.
“And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me…” - Exodus 4:22-23
Having been delivered and redeemed from Egypt, Israel was given the law, the Mosaic covenant, that sanctified them as a people.

That the prophets already spoke about Israel’s new covenant is why when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about being born again he said:
“Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?” - John 3:10
Nicodemus should have known that Israel had a great need, and that the need was for their nation to be redeemed from their old covenant bondage to enter the kingdom God had promised them.
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” - John 3:3
Jesus made it clear to Nicodemus that the nation had to be born again when he said “Ye must be born again.” (John 3:7 -We know that “ye” is the plural pronoun; and “thee” the singular.)
Jesus came to Israel ministering their need for being born again through a better covenant. No longer would Israel be identified by the old covenant but by the new.
People who think they are born again must also think they are in some way Israel.
