Dear brother, thanks for this clarification. I think explaining the words makes the case for universalism even clearer. Not saying all will be saved (from God's wrath) but rather be reconciled answers a lot of questions that opponents have. Not all are saved, but all will finally come to God. I usually say, God saves some by faith and others (he reconciles) through judgment. That emphasizes the reason for judgment and its goal. It is not just a sadistic practice of a wrathful god. No one is resurrected just to die again. For me some of the most intriguing questions that had to be answered before embracing universal reconciliation were 1. What are we "saved" from? 2. What is the second death? The first one you explained in this video. For the second one, I believe it means dying for sin as also Romans 6 describes. This is the only reason, why the holy ones cannot be affected by 2nd death (they already went through it). And it is a good explaination why death and Hades are put into the lake of fire. The sting of death is sin. Therefore death loses its power (its sting) when being thrown into the lake of fire. It symbolically "dies" to sin. How wonderful God reconciles all his family with himself and how unsearchable his ways are. Knowing this, it is impossible for me not to embrace the idea that God will reconcile everything/everyone with himself through /in Christ. Your brother in faith Thomas
You are deceived by the teachings of man. You have a demon hindering your faith from growing and hearing the truth of the word of God. You need Deliverance. The Bible says what it means and means what it says. God loves you and so do I, but what you're believing is not true.
@@artbyrobot1 I totally agree with you, finally all will bow to Jesus and be saved by their faith in him. No question. For some the way there is by accepting Christ now. For others there is the way through judgment. That was the point I wanted to make.
We talk profoundly about mankind's ultimate destination, the afterlife, heaven, hell, universal restoration/ reconciliation on this channel. I invite you to check it out:) ua-cam.com/video/cClEFI1XvwA/v-deo.html
I still believe in universal salvation. With the number of descendants of praying Christians that have died without following Christ, it's evident to me that some people need more time than their lifetimes to make a decision to follow Christ. 1 Timothy 4:10 reads, "That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe." (NIV)
AMEN !......everybody WILL ultimately believe....in this life or the next....for this IS GODS STATED WILL in the Bible, that ALL come to repentance.....and Gods will CANNOT BE defeated.
The wicked unsaved will still be punished, and so will the disobedient saved (in a lesser way of course). The ultimate reconciliation comes that the lake of fire can be described as a 'cure' and that eventually all the wicked unsaved will be repentant and bow the knee to Jesus. The disobedient saved will have something else. There's also how they will have lesser glories, the wicked unsaved paled by the obedient saved and disobedient saved. Search up Messianic Evangelicals' website, nccg.org for more. Don't just take our words for it, look at the Scriptures! Be blessed!
If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and believe in our heart, that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved. We know that every knee will bow, and every tongue will acclaim that Jesus is Lord. At that point there are no unbelievers everyone is a believer. God will be the savior of everyone.
@@rubytuby6369 "Acclaim"? I like it. Sounds like you're familiar with the CLNT. I could be wrong, but I think that's the only version that uses that word there.
You are absolutely correct sir. We have to keep with the context that man shall not live but by every word of God, meaning eventual transformation and reconcilation. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
There’s a saying “A rose by any other name is still a rose” so it is with Universalism whether it’s called Ultimate Reconciliation, Restorative Salvation, etc. When standing before Judge Jesus at the Great White Throne Judgment, people (Oprah Winfrey, Billy Graham, Robert Schuller for examples) who publicly promoted the erroneous doctrine that eventually all people, Satan, fallen angels and demons will be saved will suffer the greater degree of punishment.
Thank you for this clarification! I got so confused when learning about universal salvation,it ultimately got to a point I had to say it made no sense to even put your faith in christ.I soon realized that this doctrine was completely antithetical to the teachings of Christ and the great commission.
Universal salvation is no Doctrine 😊 4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5He saved us(Past tense)not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth. Titus3: 3-6 The Cross is the finished work of salvation in Christ, it is experienced by the intervention of faith and belief when drawn by God Faith and belief are good works and in measure, they are not a whole, and will be rewarded but it is only the blood and mercy of Christ that saves. This brother in this video is only splitting hairs, he has missed far to much relevant scpriture on this topic and his conclusion is not reasonable at all. 0:06
Can you please share a statement of faith? I want to further understand your view as you say the Bible teaches. Thanks so much. I enjoy what you are sharing.
The Below is not official yet, but just work in progress... It needs expansion and further clarifications, and it is not a standard evangelical one. I use Church fathers quotes to prove the apostolic nature of my faith. The Life of Faith Statement of Faith and position: This statement of Faith is based on very early Church fathers’ statements based on their understanding of the Christian tradition and faith: 1. The Scriptures: “We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the Gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, handed down to us in the Scriptures, to be the ground and pillar of our faith.” (Irenaeus 130-202 AD). 2. God: We acknowledge a God, and a Son, his Logos, and a Holy Spirit, united in essence-the Father, the Son, the Spirit-because the Son is the Intelligence, Reason, and Wisdom of the Father, and the Spirit an effluence, as light from fire. (Athenagoras 177 AD ) We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father; God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made… We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. (Nicene Creed 325 AD) 3. Incarnation of God the Son: For us men and for our salvation He (God the Son) came down from heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. (Nicene Creed 325 AD) 4. Salvation by Faith Expressed in Baptism: “And we who through his will have been called in Christ Jesus are justified, not by ourselves, or through our wisdom or understanding or godliness, or the works that we have done in holiness of heart, but by faith, by which all men from the beginning have been justified by Almighty God, to whom be glory world without end. Amen.” (Clement of Rome 70-110 AD) “For, in the name of God, the Father and Lord of the universe, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, they then receive the washing with water. For Christ also said, "Except ye be born again, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Justin Martyr 100 -160 AD) “We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.” (Nicene Creed 325 AD) 5. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church: As I have already observed, the Church, having received this preaching and this faith, although scattered throughout the whole world, yet, as if occupying but one house, carefully preserves it. (Irenaeus 130-202 AD). 6. The Resurrection of the Body: “The resurrection is a resurrection of the flesh which died. For the spirit dies not; the soul is in the body, and without a soul it cannot live. The body, when the soul forsakes it, is not. For the body is the house of the soul; and the soul the house of the spirit.” (Justin Martyr 100-165 AD) “We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come” (Nicene Creed 325 AD). Assuredly, as the reason why restoration takes place at all is the appointed judgment, every man must needs come forth the very same who had once existed, that he may receive at God's hands a judgment, whether of good desert or the opposite. And therefore the body too will appear; (Tertullian 155-220 AD) Amen 7. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
If you look to prove that all are not saved, you will find it to be true. If you look to prove that all are saved, you will find it to be true as well. If we focus on one color in a painting long enough, it becomes whatever color we want it to be, even when there is no color at all.
@@dailythoughts6575Those same references can be used to prove the opposite of what he is saying. I can supply you with multiple Scriptural references to fully justify Universal salvation if you desire.
@@jasonegeland1446 One thing is sure, not everyone is saved FROM the WRATH of God but everyone will be reconciled eventually & the punishment of the unsaved (from the wrath of God) is NOT endless & I believe that you already believe all this. If the Universal Salvation camp take the word 'Salvation' to mean everyone will ultimately be saved, they are correct because I can understand what they are trying to say.... BUT their terminology is off & it makes them sound like they are zealous without knowledge..... Salvation is different from Reconciliation & the confusion of these terms has led to misunderstandings. Salvation is from the wrath of God & Reconciliation is a work of Christ which is applied in two--fold....A believer is reconciled with God when they believe.... and they also receive Salvation from His wrath.... Unbelievers will be reconciled after the wrath of God..... if anyone preaches that all people are saved & don't have to worry about the coming wrath, that person is preaching dangerous lies & should repent from the lie. Reconciliation is possible because Jesus tasted death for all men & rose up from the grave on behalf of all men.... However Salvation from God's wrath is conditional on whether one believes or not. What are you views on this topic please....I would like to know if you don't mind.
@@dailythoughts6575 I couldn't have said it any better than you did! Yes, I believe in God's consuming fire and understand it to be symbolic and temporary. I'm so glad we're on the same page! :) I hadn't given much thought to the difference in salvation and reconciliation concerning God's purpose. I figured they were generally the same in terms of the end goal reached. Glad to take part in this discussion with you. Forgive me if my replies are a little slow sometimes :)
The lord made evil Isaiah 45:7 The lord made all things The Lord made Lucifer a murderer from the beginning with no truth in him John 8:44 The Lord makes some to honor and some to dishonor. The Lord predestined and delivered the innocent Jesus into wicked hands to be slain Acts 2:23 so let me ask you how will He judge Lucifer for doing the works he was made for. Here's a clue : Creation was jailed in vanity, against it's will Romans 8:20 For God has shut up all to disobedience so that he can have mercy on all Romans 11:32
@@lifeoffaithlebanon Yes I believe God predestined everyone to salvation. Romans 8:29 "For those He foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son: well he foreknew everyone and everything didnt he 1John 3:20 case closed
@@lifeoffaithlebanon You have to understand brother that to sin is to "miss the mark" , to make a mistake , an error, do something that is not right(eousness) but wrong. Now God does not sin so therefore he has never made a mistake, so Satan, nor anyone or anything is a mistake that the Sovereign Almighty will not conform to his will Ephesians 1:11 . God created the tree of the knowledge of evil and the serpent who deceived Eve put them in the garden and declared his creation very good because he works all things for good (Himself, "there is only one that is good" Mark 10:18 ) to those that love him (which is everyone because we love him because he first loved us and he loves everyone). Where sin is grace superabounds and since we are saved by grace it is impossible for sin to ultimately conquer anything or anyone. "A man can receive NOTHING lest it is given from heaven" John 3:27 irrefutably proves we are saved by grace alone and that faith is a gift given by the one who wills all men to be saved 1Timothy 2:4 . God always does what is right Genesis 18:25 and sometimes he does evil because it is right, like delivering His innocent Son into wicked hands to be slain Acts2:23 or the 30 occurrences of Him doing evil or repenting of the evil He had planned to do that are recorded in Jeremiah for example. God made people to carry out these calamities ; someone had to nail Christ to the cross but their maker cried forgive them for they were unknowingly at the time carrying out God's " deliberate plan and foreknowledge" acts 2:23 Nothing complicated about it at all. Disobedience of God is a sin, a mistake, foolish even most educated would agree, yet our all wise God subjected or jailed or forced all creation against its will to disobey him so that he could have mercy on us all Romans11:32 . No wonder Romans 12:3 records Paul " For I say through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according as God has given to every man the measure of faith "
@@nevbillett7554 I would argue that it is possible that in Romans 8,29 Paul is talking about Jews only who were predestined. They are predestined (as his chosen people) and "called" the same way the Christians ("we") according to verse 28 are called. This calling is even more important because those being called will be justified and glorified. A similar way of thinking is applied in Ephesians 1, where both verses 5 and 11 speak about a group (referred to as "we" by the writer) that is predestined. Eph. 1,13-15 speaks of the Gentile readers of the letter as "you" (thus making a distinction to the "we"/"us" in the first part of the chapter) and says that they heard the gospel (one could say they were called) and were sealed with the Holy Spirit. But this group of Christians was not predestined. They were called and sealed only. The predestination of the Jews also becomes clear from Romans 11, where Paul argues that even though they fell, God will finally save them which will mean life for all. This will be the final fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham that "all nations shall be blessed" because of his righteousness. This blessing for all actually is the big mystery he reveals in Romans 11. Your brother Thomas
@@Thomas_Zscheile Hello Thomas, It is little known among Christians that the modern nation , established in 1948 , usurped the name Israel and did not have the legal right in the court of God to claim that name . Because of Solomon's sin God divided the 12 tribes into 10 called Israel and 2 made up of Judah and Benjamin . Israel was dispersed by Assyria (721 BC) and has never returned (the 10 lost tribes of Israel) , Judah was given into the hands of the Babylonians but returned to fulfill Christ's birth in the tribe of Judah and the house of David in Bethlehem. Judaism is opposed to Christ and a "Jew" is certainly not an Israelite , further Paul enlightens us that genealogical descent has absolutely nothing to do with God's definition of a true Israelite whom He also calls His chosen , elect. Sons of God, overcomers. Of course nothing is lost to God , He knows exactly who and where His true Israelites are and their glorious manifestation will soon take place in the first resurrection. For detailed scriptural proof google God's Kingdom Ministries and read Dr Steven Jones The Sceptre and the Birthright or you can listen to it on tape
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36 KJV ?
Well I quoted that because it says the unbeliever will not see life. The same message through 3:14-18 say that the unbeliever is condemned and shall perish. So where is there room for everyone eventually being reconciled?
@Life of Faith Christian Ministry I am new to this teaching and am fast becoming a believer! I wanted to hear your take on James 2 where he basically contradicts the entire set of verses you quoted from Romans chapters 3&4. In James he even goes on to say, Was Abraham works not counted for righteousness? And it talks about him offering Isaac on the alter. However in Genesis, it said Abraham believed when he was told he will have a family as many as the stars. So James was written to the 12 tribes so that may explain it. It seems to even be talking about the Tribulation Jews if you look at James 5:3. Appreciate any feedback! Gos bless you.
Thank you for your comment, Brother. I, personally, do not see any contradiction in James, as James is teaching from a practical perspective. Paul teaches that Faith saves you and makes you a new creation. Not works, but faith. and once you are a new creation, you live in the newness of life, the new nature, the good deeds that God predestined for you. James is saying: if you are a new creation, claiming to be a believer, let me see that in your actions. otherwise your claims are false. Paul is teaching that happens in the heart, James is asking for the outward fruit of what happens in the heart.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon Thanks for your response. I have to disagree. If James is saying you are false convert for not outwardly showing works, than it implies that you MUST have works to be a saved Christian. This is false. James is writing this letter to the 12 Tribes of Israel and of you look at Rev 14:12, it’s clearly showing a faith plus works time period. I understand what you’re saying, but respectfully disagree because you can be a carnal Christians your whole life and still be saved. Unless you’re simply saying he wants his congregation to walk in the faith and show good works as an example, but not a salvation issue, then I would agree with you.
yes there is judgement for all the righteous are judged at the judgement seat of Christ for rewards and the unbelievers at the great white throne judgement. never said there won't be judgement cause there will be. where does the faith to believe come from? sinners don't have faith to believe either they become a believer or they don't which is why the gospel is needed but it is God who gives the faith to believe
and you think that I never read this verse before? Did you check where did Jesus quote this verse from? Did you know it is in Isaiah and that Jesus was quoting old testament scripture? go Check the context of this verse in Isaiah, and then come back to discuss!
@@mhamadmhamad6337 Forgiven? Who said anything about forgiveness. Evil has a price, and the price is punishment equal to the damage done and pain caused. But not eternal.
"The Lord added to the church daily those being saved" ; We are saved by grace through faith ( Christ's faith not ours ) AND THIS NOT OF YOURSELF . John 3:27 a man can receive nothing lest it is given him from heaven. Of course you need to believe but faith is given . Also we most definetly are saved by the faith OF Jesus which enabled him to endure the cross. What your talking about, faith in Jesus is all resultant from the grace and faith OF Christ who had the faith to graciously offer his blood which made possible the remission of sins.
AMEN! it was THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST that took HIM to the cross for our reconciliation. HE was the faithful one. Paul even says that …..Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me....if we are crucified means we are dead to the flesh and so how can it be our faith? thank you for your response brother.
All glory to God : Romans 12:3 " For I say by the grace given unto me , to every man that is among you, do not think more highly of yourselves than you ought, but think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith "
@@openheavensgate7777 Did the blood of the scriptures save me? Am i saved by what i believe, or by the blood of Christ's cross ? See how stupid you are
In the words do matter so the word that's translated to saved a lot of times in the Greek also meant healed or made well. At this point it's semantics. You can enjoy the kingdom of God now or you will be faced with it after death and then come to the knowledge of God and then realize how much you wasted with your time here on earth.
He believes in ultimate reconciliation, however there are still consequences to sin and things we need saving from, but God's judgements are not neverending I invite you to check out this channel where Apocatastasis is thoroughly discussed ua-cam.com/video/cClEFI1XvwA/v-deo.html
what does fall short mean? Please clarify? In summary, Jesus taught that those who did not believe will be subject to Kolasis (punishment) with Eternal value or impact. This punishment is a purgatorial in nature. Thus, the sins were not forgiven by the blood of Jesus are judged per their limited value, and for the purpose of purification. Until all are purified. Thereafter, and due to perfect knowledge, they will fall no more.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon Fall short, meaning, they have been judged as having missed the mark. So, if I understand you correctly. Are you saying those who are judged for their sins, eventually come to perfect knowledge, by being purified through judgment? Thus, having been purified through judgment, they then have learned to sin no more?
@@lifeoffaithlebanon If my questions seem odd, please understand that I'm just trying to fully grasp what you're saying, as compared to what I've previously been taught. I'm still a bit confused. Since people learn to sin no more through judgment, what's the significance of Christ dying on the cross?
Very well Jesus has two paths wide or narrow, but He's regardless the one way! The law the Spirit of the Law immediately justifies those who liv according to total faith in and faithful living in His wholeness of lov and keeping as many commandments as they possible, those are the ones who when the day and hour arrive will be blessed and Babylon is overwhelmed! Just don't forget He baptizes all with fire not only the Holy Spirit, for every man is a liar and God's the truth and every liar will have their portion in the crucible There's the individual crucible (those pressed and tested against the basalt touch stone) for those who chose to stand on their own defense and took no pardon, and also the fire that every person put onto Christ, which we'll all experience when all is revealed Well at least that's what I believe, that we see all of what Christ went through the culmination of all history We'll also know what going into to a sinful world in the first place was all about, and having our bodies in these forms, born into part ignorance/part awareness, etc. Also how Jesus could be both 100% God and 100% man simultaneously (that's technically already answered if we just read our bibles), how all of creation glorifies Him, what was unseen all along, the kinds of lives people had individually and collectively, etc. Why we were in linear time, all mysteries, etc. Although anybody who believes now like you said, we the true Israel, His bride, are saved from the earthbound wrath (in trade for lesser persecutions) and appointed millennial glorification and stewarding His providence (:
I agree that we should get away from the terminology of universal salvation. Salvation meant different things in scripture. We must also come to scripture rightly dividing and understanding that Christ fulfilled the Law of Moses, the prophets and Psalms. We are looking at scripture some 200 years years after the can closed. We are left with God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Rhe Kingdom goapel is one of peace and grace and walking by the Spirit of God. There is a judgement when we leave this earthly life, however that occurred. It is fair and righteous and restorative.
There are many scriptures that say faith of Jesus Christ, genitive case, and it is not false, as we are saved by the faith of the Jesus Christ in us. Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:11-12. I also have several videos about Ultimate Universal Salvation. God bless you.
Sure, there are passages in the Bible that speak about "the Faith of Christ", but not the ones you mentioned. Stating that placing our faith in Jesus Christ is necessary, does not eliminate or replace Grace. I have went through the Bible passages that speak of the Faith of Jesus Christ, and it means different things in different places depending on the context, I have studied and explored some of them in another video. God bless you, Brother.
I believe in Universal Reconciliation i think it was the doctrine that i Studied more in the past..the doctrine of lets say Hell.. but i dont go into theological debates anymore about things that devide brothers.. for me that time of it its gone...the truth Will Come to the surface...
Thoughts? SAVED BY GRACE--- AND NOT BY SELF CHOICE.... NO MAN CHOOSES JESUS--- HE CHOOSES MAN IN HIS PERFECT TIMING... PAUL WAS A "CHOSEN VESSEL" AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CHURCH AGE... JESUS' AMAZING GRACE WENT AND SAVED HIM ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD--- AND NOT THE WILL AND CHOICE OF ANY MAN--- PAUL DID NOT CHOOSE JESUS- BUT JESUS CHOSE HIM..... NOR DID YOU CHOOSE JESUS--- BUT HE CHOSE YOU..... Act 9:15... But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a CHOSEN VESSEL unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: Religious Bible scholars would have us to believe that THEY MADE A CHOICE TO BE SAVED--they say they SAVED THEMSELVES BY HUMAN CHOICE. That kind of mind set (HUMAN REASONING) just proclaimed that they did not need GOD'S AMAZING SAVING GRACE WORKING to empower them to believe AND be saved. They saved themselves because of THE POWER OF THEIR CHOICE- THEY BOLDLY SAY. Religion in our churches tell us that the reason they are saved and other people are not is because THEY SAVED THEMSELVES BY MAKING A CHOICE FOR JESUS- THERE IS "NO GRACE" WORKING IN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. Carnal men say.... I KNOW THE LAMB OF GOD HAS TAKEN AWAY THE SIN OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. Then they say out of the other side of their mouth.... BUT YOU HAVE TO CHOSE JESUS TO BE SAVED. Thus saying men are saved by THE POWER OF THEIR-MEN'S OWN WILL OR CHOICE is a CLEAR CONRADICTION TO THE TRUE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST--- JESUS' TRUE SALVATION IS CLEARLY A SALVATION GIVEN "BY THE POWER OF GOD'S SAVING GRACE ALONE--- AND NOT MAN'S CHOICE". THUS does not the choice of man save anyone. I HEARD RELIGION BOLDLY TELL ME THEY CHOSE JESUS.... YES I'VE HEARD THEIR WORDS.... NOW LET'S SEE WHAT "JESUS HIMSELF" SAY'S ABOUT BEING SAVED BY GRACE. Eph 2:8... For BY GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES- MAN'S CHOICE DID NOT SAVE HIM-- GOD'S GRACE SAVED HIM: it is the gift of God: RELIGIOUS MEN's words do not agree with GOD'S WORDS. God JUST SAID.... I SAVE BY GRACE through faith.... and that not of YOURSELVES-- meaning-- NOT OF THE POWER OF HUMAN STRENGTH, POWER OR CHOICE. GOD'S GRACE is God's divine empowerment, his enablement TO SAVE. He found us ALL SPIRITUALLY DEAD in our trespasses and sins. DEAD MEN MAKE NO CHOSES. WE WERE "IN THIS WORLD" SPIRITUALLY DEAD.... and having NO HOPE AT ALL.... NO POWER TO MAKE A CHOICE FOR JESUS. The power of HIS SAVING GRACE begin to work in us mightily changing our hearts, changing and transforming our desires and hunger. He found us all DEAD SPIRITUALLY TO THE THINGS OF GOD. We were SPIRITUALLY DEAD, WITHOUT GOD in this world. WITH NO HOPE AT ALL. MAN'S HUMAN CHOICE CANNOT SAVE HIM--- ONLY JESUS SAVES-- AND THAT NOT OF OURSELVES. HIS SAVING GRACE BEGIN TO WORK IN OUR LIVES, THUS A "NEW CREATURE" came forth BY THE GLORIOUS POWER OF HIS MIGHT-- AND HIS MIGHT ALONE. Therefore all of a sudden WE BEGIN TO DESIRE AND HUNGER TO BE SAVED. In my life I went from being SPIRITUALLY DEAD TO GOD--- THEN GRACE CAME--- AND WHEN HIS SAVING GRACE WORKED ON ME..... I WAS SO HUNGRY FOR GOD-- I WANTED TO BE SAVED TO THE UTTER MOST. Ol the power of HIS SAVING GRACE. JESUS ALONE SAVED ME NOT MY CHOICE. ALL THE GLORY GOES TO MY GOD AND HIS SAVING GRACE.. DID YOU CHOSE JESUS OR DID HE CHOSE YOU! Did your choice save you or did "HIS ELECTION OF GRACE" save you? HERE IT IS... HEAR IT... SEE IS... BELIEVE IT...... HOW CLEAR ARE JESUS' WORDS.... Jhn 15:16... "YE" have NOT CHOSEN ME, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU-BY GRACE, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. JESUS JUST SAID.... YE "YOU" HAVE NOT CHOSEN ME, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU...... Now Jesus words are SATURATED WITH GRACE AND TRUTH--- Men say THEY ARE SAVED BECAUSE THEY CHOSE JESUS AND OTHER'S DIDN'T CHOOSE HIM... Men's words are filled with religious human reasoning and lies. WE ARE BORN AGAIN BY THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT OF GRACE-- AND NOT BY THE WILL OF MAN NOR THE CHOICE OF MAN. Let GOD BE THE TRUTH and every man contradicting him be a liar. HERE IT IS IN THE WORD... HEAR IT... SEE IT... BELIEVE IT... Jhn 1:13... WHICH WERE BORN (OF GOD), not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, NOR THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD. HEAR IT.... NOR THE WILL OF MAN..... THAT INCLUDES YOUR WILL OR YOUR CHOICE..... YOUR CHOICE DID NOT SAVE YOU..... JESUS DID..... WHEN I HEAR CHRISTIANS TELL ME..... THEY CHOSE JESUS I THEN KNOW THEY ARE SO IMMATURE IN THE THINGS OF GOD.... THEY YET HAVE NOT A CLEAR REVELATION CONCERNING--- THE AMAZING SAVING GRACE OF ALIMIGHTY GOD.... If you are truly saved today..... Let me give you some GOOD NEWS..... JESUS DID IT...….. NOT YOUR WILL NOR YOUR CHOICE...... GLORY TO HIS NAME..... Blessings All!
Salvation from condemnation is through Jesus Christ alone, that is why we have to preach the good news so people will escape this punishment of their sins which is based on their works.... Reconciliation is God's plan to ultimately have EVERYONE, those who believed & those who didn't believe, to worship God BUT in the future kingdom of God, we will not all have the same ranking - those who believed in Christ will INHERIT THE KINGDOM - which is something most preachers ignore... this is a marvelous promise from God ! There are many benefits for believing in Christ....its not only to escape the wrath but also to inherit God kingdom for all eternity! "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." - Luke 12:32 Yes, the apostles will have a higher ranking all believers will be part of the inheritance! Hallelujah! The Bible calls it, 'the inheritance of the saints' ! Now, I was thinking about those who NEVER heard the Gospel and those who lived BEFORE Jesus: it dawned to me that even though they will be reconciled with God after the condemnation/punishment of their sins, however they will not inherit the kingdom of God. Now when you understand this, you realize how special God thinks of us who live in the times of the Gospel, because it is ONLY through the Gospel that we are SAVED & INHERIT the kingdom ! This is mind-blowing !
My brother, I appreciate your earnestness, but you need to study the events of the AD 70 Jewish Roman war to understand the complete teachings of the Bible, especially that of the teachings of Jesus and his appostles.
Thank you for your comment. Probably you are advocating full preterism. I personally adhere to partial preterism, as did the early Church fathers, and still hold fast to the absolute global fulfillment of the Prophecies in the Future.
I think partial preterism and universal salvation/restoration are extremely compatible. People try and say Jesus preached about Hell and the end times so much but a lot of his warnings were to the Jews about the coming destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Part of Him asking people to believe Him is so they could be saved of the coming destruction of Jerusalem and come to truly know God

I fail to understand why "loving the victim" means tormenting the victimizer. If the victim is healed by God, they dont need any sort of revenge to be satisfied.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon i have no issue with the idea of a purification process for the sinner, im only speaking to the idea that the punishment has something to do with love for the victim
kinda funny since we will all be judged how does sinners have faith being they want nothing to do with God they are not only blinded to the truth but they oppose God and rebel at every turn also no one seeks God
@@lifeoffaithlebanon when does salvation occur and where does our faith come from apart from God and how can sinners know the truth apart from being told and they are also blinded to the truth unless God opens their eyes

Theirs also verses that say all will be saved, especially the believers. Not "only". And witht he notion not all are saved,, then from the beginning of time, theirs already a death certificate for innocent souls that are born. Also to think everyone in thr world can get baptized before they die is insane.
The Bible verses say that God prepared Salvation for all or that he is the Saviour of all. But at the same, salvation in this world requires Faith & baptism (as Jesus mentioned). So the conclusion is this: God wants to save the world. Some receive it in this age, but some get it the hard way, practically not saved, but judged and purified in Gehenna. The ultimate result is one, but makes more sense Biblically.
What are you talking about? The Bible blatantly and irrefutably says you are saved by faith alone, not of works lest any man should boast. It explicitly says works are not counted towards salvation.
Putting your trust in Jesus is works? Dear, modern Christians are not able to understand Paul, because they do not understand that Paul, when talking about works, is talking about the works of the Law, not any action of responding to God in general. a hundred times the Bible speaks of us giving an account for the works we do, but when Paul compares Grace with Works, he is referring to the Works of the Law.. The law of Moses... Also, an act of responding to God's gift is NOT works, and does not contradict the principle of Grace, this is a modern hype resulting from centuries of Calvinistic influence.
Saved is a big word. They are not saved. Will they ultimately be redeemed? Interestingly, many Church fathers believed this to be the case. I personally lean towards that view.
I have a hard time believing in eternal conscious torment too. It is hard to imagine a loving caring Lord doing that to anyone. Only an evil horrible sadistic tyrant would do that and Jesus is none of those words. If anything he is our friend and savior. He paid the horrible price for our sins because he knows that it is too much for us to bear. It is only because of Dante Alighieri that we would ever have such a horrible thought stuck in our heads. I wonder if Jesus will be having a long winded chat with him about scaring us like that!!
Sir you get angry because we of the universal reconciliation camp believe ALL will be saved. I do not get angry but I have compassion for you and all who believe not in universal salvation. I like to make some points here first, you quoted this scripture 1) Mark 16:16 this verse says nothing about being 'condemned' the correct Greek word for your 'condemnation' word is "JUDGED" and what are we told about GOD'S judgment? here it is brother if you can receive it...... Isaiah 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early " for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS" …..you see that? when GOD'S judgments are on the earth the world will learn "righteousness" 2) so you give the glory to men for their "missing the mark" (sins) huh? here are some scriptures you my friend need to get familiar with.....THE LORD created the wicked. Proverbs 16:4 ….THE LORD created us ALL in disobedience. Romans 11:32......THE LORD creates evil. Isaiah 45;7 …….the ONLY way to become like GOD and HIS SON JESUS CHRIST is KNOWING good and evil. Genesis 3:22.....no one can come to JESUS unless THE FATHER draw us TO JESUS. John 6:44.....the ONLY way any of us can keep the LAWS of GOD is by HE giving us a new heart and a new spirit. Ezekiel 36:26.....Jeremiah 31:33...… we were put on this earth to experience good and evil because IT IS how this scripture gets fulfilled...….Genesis 3:22 Then the LORD God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL...." …..3) So you really believe that GOD is going to wake people up the bad people from their sleep (death) ONLY to send them to hell? PLEASE I urge you to REPENT brother!
Dear Gilbert, obviously you did not even listen to the message. Life of Faith is all about Universal Reconciliation from a Biblical perspective. I reject Eternal conscious torment, and believe that ultimately all people will.be reconciled to God. The aim of this video is to adjust the terminology used by some which is unbiblical. So all the assumptions in your remarks were a waste of your precious time.
Well, dear, after reviewing your posts, your god (small letter) who wants you to experience evil is an evil god. You follow the old testament way of thinking though it was perfected in Jesus, who clearly said that "the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy"... the devil is the murderer, not the Father. God is good, and evil is outside him and his will. It is only an evil god who sits and watches people suffer without interfering. It is sad that your image of God is so negative and scary, the same as the one those who believe in Eternal hell promote.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon I did listen to your video Sir and is why I responded. but even the intro speaks about what it is about. universal reconciliation was finished at the cross yet those sins which JESUS paid 2000 plus years before you and I were even thought off. what is salvation to you? have yo done a study on salvation? what are we being saved from? we are being saved from ourselves because within us is noting good. and so universal salvation is sure because eventually ALL will be made righteous.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon you response here is disrespectful Sir that is in no way the spirit of CHRIST. all that I have said so far has been backed by scripture. is there a scripture that says that THE LORD does ---not--- create evil? is there a scripture that says that THE LORD does ---not--- create the wicked? yet the scriptures are clear "THE LORD does do these things" do you believe that GOD had nothing to do with the sacrifice of HIS SON JESUS CHRIST? in your view, the devil had the power to sacrifice JESUS because according to you satan is the murderer. that Sir is blasphemy. yet here is what we are told in this passage.....John 19:10Then said Pilate to him, Speak you not to me? know you not that I have power to crucify you, and have power to release you? 11Jesus answered, You could have no power at all against me "except it were given you from above" therefore he that delivered me to you has the greater sin.....in scriptures there is the relative but more importantly there is also the absolute. all things truly are of GOD. that is the absolute.
@@MACLOVIO357-SOSA Dear, offence is not meant at all in my response and no disrespect at all. Let me emphasise on one of the mistakes you mentioned which is totally wrong. In Mark.16: 16, the word for condemned in greek is "condemned" not judged. Literally it is a combination of two words that literally mean "judge-against" i.e. condemned. Check the dictionaries for that. As for God creating Evil, the Bible says in several places that God is good, James says that God only sends good and perfect gifts. The verses used usually out of the Old Testament are out of context and intend to express an image which is incomplete of God, as God's image in the old testament is not perfect and was never perfected except by the revelation of God the Son.
1timm2:4- 4:10 Roman's 5 1corinthians 15. God is the savior of whole world. If he dosnt save all he is not! Simple logic. Problem is translation. 1 key word eonian True definition is eon ore age.
If christ be lifted up he will draw all. Simple he is not the savior of whole world if he doesn't. That makes him a liar. So simple. Its a time issue. Not all are saved at the same time. Christ first born then gods chosen before the disruption of the world too reconcile all back too God through christ then God is all and all. Most will go too second death gods will is to save all and bring all too the knowledge of the truth. After judgement and before. Lol
It's unfortunate you've been tricked into wavering on the salvation of all. Ultimate reconciliation is the outcome of salvation. You're presenting a false dichotomy between the two with the misguided notions that the whole creation is now reconciled to God(leastwise that's how it sounds) and that the bible doesn't teach everyone is saved now. The problem is you don't account for the figure prolepsis(Romans 4:17 for example) which is the text speaking of things that will be as though they're presently accomplished. Because of this you're overshadowing clear declarations of the finished work of the cross that will eventually save all, every man in his own order. Another detail you're overlooking is the word "saved" when it's in the incomplete verb form and when it's in the complete verb form, and both are used for the believer. Salvation is a process. If it wasn't we wouldn't be looking forward to the resurrection. Our own salvation is not complete but from God's perspective we're already seated with Christ. This is prolepsis and if God inspired the writers of the scriptures to speak of things that will be as though they are, why forbid it in our own evangelizing? If we think it's a done deal, what major difference of significance are you making? Granted when confusion comes as a result of the process of salvation conveyed in the text we must point out the difference between God reckoning us as righteous when we come to believe the evangel and the completed work of our salvation at the resurrection that removes all of our corruption. As to Romans 3:22 why are you reading the word IN into the text? You're taking liberty with the text because of the preponderance of scriptures that talk about faith IN Jesus Christ. Faith in Christ is the part of the process of coming to the realization that Jesus died on the cross to bring salvation to all and was raised the third day conquering death for all thus making Him Lord over all things until He subdues all sin and brings all enemies under His feet. Salvation is a process and the final outcome, while yet future, is a done deal. Therefore speaking of the outcome as though it's already done is concordant with scripture. I don't have a problem with you pointing out critical distinctions but you're putting the cart before the horse. Reconciliation is a product of salvation. The reconciliation of all isn't complete either because not everyone is saved. Sin and death still permeate the creation. If the reconciliation of all is now then God being the All in all is rather unimpressive. It's never been my understanding that biblical universalists are teaching the salvation of all is now complete nor that God isn't just. Unfortunately your message is confusing because you sound like you're rejecting the outcome because of scriptures speaking of the now. What makes this confusion striking is you've eloquently responded to people in past who put your words on a slippery slope saying you're implying that all religions lead to God if people go to their graves rejecting Jesus as the only way to God. You used the correct scripture Philippians 2:9-11. In view of your prior understanding of this scripture it's odd you're making the case that the bible doesn't say everyone isn't saved because of scriptures that speak of the present state of the creation. It doesn't seem possible you could have understood Philippians 2:9-11 without realizing that's a truth for the future, not now. Anyway I recently subscribed because you seemed to be evangelizing the truth but you sound confused and on your way to a different evangel. I have to unsub your channel. Too bad because it's hard to find biblical universalists. I hope the fog clears for you soon. Take care and many blessings.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon well no, that's not what I did at all and for you to take it that way with so much belligerence and hostility your appeal to "dialogue" is grossly disingenuous. So good job shutting down any further discussion.
It's a bit hard to follow you there brother. The intervention of faith brings salvation, but it is not what saves us, least the cross be not needed Scripture is clear that we are saved by his mercy/blood, and that all have been handed over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. It just seems like you are splitting hairs with your terminology It appears presupposed at the cross that everyone shall be saved obviously. Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Why does God still blame us for who can resist his will? Shall the clay say to the potter, why did you make me like this.😮 (The case of Judas) 4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5He saved us,(past tense, done)not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth. Titus3: 3-6 (born again) We are saved from sin from Adam(no choice) Look here is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. All mankind and creation was born again at the cross obviously, this is why Christ was going to the cross when he told Nicodemus you must be born again. Absolutely nothing to do with the choice of man. The Wrath of God is to end evil not his beloved creation (noun) Jesus does not save us from God😊 But agree some seem to make the banquet and some don't, however this is under God's control because he has mercy on him he wants to have mercy. However, it is specifically clear that the absence of mercy does not quantify the absence of love. And that's were a lot of us get confused thinking there's two Gods one of judgement and one of love, a grave mistake. Judgement all through the scripture appears as a prerequisite to the following act of mercy Although it's a mystery and I have studied and looked at this topic for years It is obvious that love wins in the end. Ironically it is explicitly clear that every knee and tongue shall bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father. It would seem that the scripture is correct when it states that "no one is cast off by the Lord forever Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.
@@lifeoffaithlebanonI agree we have the free will to choose who we will serve on this side of life as to the experiencing a measure of salvation and grace. But I don't agree this choice has anything to do with pertaining to a point of salvation, as that point was obviously made by God at the cross for all. 1 Timothy 4:10 As I'm sure you are aware of states along this line "That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe"
@brianbrodie8331 that's the part where we have to split hairs. What is the measure of salvation that we decide on in this life? Even when we agree that eventually all will.be restored and all will be well by the grace or God.
But the problem is you still seem to have the point of salvation subject to the choice of man not the work or obedience of Christ. It completely negates the cross and therefore I find it impossible to hold such a position. I mean what was the purpose of the cross? What actually happened at the cross? You haven't really explained or given your account of this. The scripture says not just you but you and your household will be saved ....wait on a minute, the others got saved by someone else's intention/choice 😮? that's where it gets a little more tricky. At what point has a man conjured up enough faith or belief to announce 'I believe' and be saved? I'm aware of the scriptures and in simple English it would literally look like what you are saying must be obviously correct , but on the other hand it also appears totally flawed. And this is the very dilemma where we of course get the main theologies of Arminianism, Calvinism, Universalism and Ultimate reconciliation etc. But I think we both agree because of the fact that salvation belongs to the Lord that He will in the end will save and reconcile all mankind and creation according to His will. I mean either way who's going to stop Him😊
@brianbrodie8331 Not me, it is the Bible, it is the new testament terminology. CALVINISM has spoiled the mind of Christians towards the meaning of Grace. SALVATION is always linked to human response in the New Testament, I can provide 10 scriptures from the Top of my head that confirms that.
I think one of the problems that I see right away is it you're acting as if God is nothing but love when in reality the Bible teaches that his foundation is Justice and righteousness he has given us a chance to be saved through his only begotten son and whosoever believes in him will be saved if you don't believe you force God's hand he has no choice righteously but to judge you of your sins righteously if you teach against hell to teach against the Bible if you do not believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and he came and paid the price for our sins by his finished work at the cross and that he was raised again on the third day for our justification you will go to hell forever a righteous God cannot wipe sin under the rug he is already paid the price receive it or not
Dear Larry, first of all, God is love and when the Bible says that, it means there is nothing in God that is not Love, linguistically speaking. As to your views of righteousness, and receiving Jesus, it is true that God's justice will require vengeance for the evil done and the hurt caused to other humans, but that is "An eye for an eye" not "Hell forever" but "Hades for an eternal impact" God bless.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon I understand that God is love for God so loved the world that He Sent His only begotten son and he is long-suffering towards us that all might be saved but the Bible does teach about hell for non-believers I'll stick with the Bible but I do say God bless you for your conviction over the Lord Christ Jesus but I think that you'll see if you read Romans 10 1 through 7 that people are concerned and try to earn their own righteousness not understanding the righteousness of God and how much it requires without the Lord Christ Jesus's sacrifice all would be damned to hell but now those that believe have been made the righteousness of God in him we can no longer have sin imputed to our account and because of the payment that the Lord has made we will not be judged there is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood only the Lord Christ Jesus can save us by the shedding of his blood for us God bless you
Yes, absolute truth! Only a few will make it to heaven and the rest will be in hell forever. I'm glad someone finally got it right. Ultimate reconciliation is not universal salvation, and I wish Christians would understand this.
@dalekelley what is Salvation? Being saved from something. If you pay for your sins, then you are not saved. But in Christ you will ultimately be back to God, after the judgement.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon I'm not talking about anyone trying to pay for their own sins. I'm simply saying that since hell isn't forever, but God's love IS forever, what's the only alternative?... The salvation of all !
All WILL be saved whether they want to or not. THAT'S the the real beauty of it. HALLELUJAH! 🙌🏿
Dear brother,
thanks for this clarification. I think explaining the words makes the case for universalism even clearer. Not saying all will be saved (from God's wrath) but rather be reconciled answers a lot of questions that opponents have. Not all are saved, but all will finally come to God. I usually say, God saves some by faith and others (he reconciles) through judgment. That emphasizes the reason for judgment and its goal. It is not just a sadistic practice of a wrathful god. No one is resurrected just to die again.
For me some of the most intriguing questions that had to be answered before embracing universal reconciliation were
1. What are we "saved" from?
2. What is the second death?
The first one you explained in this video. For the second one, I believe it means dying for sin as also Romans 6 describes. This is the only reason, why the holy ones cannot be affected by 2nd death (they already went through it). And it is a good explaination why death and Hades are put into the lake of fire. The sting of death is sin. Therefore death loses its power (its sting) when being thrown into the lake of fire. It symbolically "dies" to sin.
How wonderful God reconciles all his family with himself and how unsearchable his ways are.
Knowing this, it is impossible for me not to embrace the idea that God will reconcile everything/everyone with himself through /in Christ.
Your brother in faith
Thomas
Amen.
You are deceived by the teachings of man. You have a demon hindering your faith from growing and hearing the truth of the word of God. You need Deliverance. The Bible says what it means and means what it says. God loves you and so do I, but what you're believing is not true.
Hi Thomas, this was a fantastic comment. Thanks! I'm really struggling.
@@Lettie22 You are welcome. What are you struggling with if I may ask?
God bless, Thomas
@@artbyrobot1 I totally agree with you, finally all will bow to Jesus and be saved by their faith in him. No question.
For some the way there is by accepting Christ now. For others there is the way through judgment. That was the point I wanted to make.
Came across your channel yesterday, and already your videos and teachings have been such a blessing! Thank you, I am learning a lot
Great video. I like the clear way to explain and your passion in your believe. Thank you for your time and efforts.
God bless you my brother.

I still believe in universal salvation. With the number of descendants of praying Christians that have died without following Christ, it's evident to me that some people need more time than their lifetimes to make a decision to follow Christ. 1 Timothy 4:10 reads, "That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe." (NIV)
AMEN !......everybody WILL ultimately believe....in this life or the next....for this IS GODS STATED WILL in the Bible, that ALL come to repentance.....and Gods will CANNOT BE defeated.
@@TheBlueCream amen also sub to my channel too!
#universalsalvation
The wicked unsaved will still be punished, and so will the disobedient saved (in a lesser way of course). The ultimate reconciliation comes that the lake of fire can be described as a 'cure' and that eventually all the wicked unsaved will be repentant and bow the knee to Jesus. The disobedient saved will have something else.
There's also how they will have lesser glories, the wicked unsaved paled by the obedient saved and disobedient saved. Search up Messianic Evangelicals' website, nccg.org for more. Don't just take our words for it, look at the Scriptures! Be blessed!
If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and believe in our heart, that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved.
We know that every knee will bow, and every tongue will acclaim that Jesus is Lord. At that point there are no unbelievers everyone is a believer.
God will be the savior of everyone.
@@rubytuby6369 "Acclaim"? I like it. Sounds like you're familiar with the CLNT. I could be wrong, but I think that's the only version that uses that word there.
Fantastic teaching brother!! Thank you
You are absolutely correct sir. We have to keep with the context that man shall not live but by every word of God, meaning eventual transformation and reconcilation. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yes Bible does teach all saved word for word consistently throughout
Howdy, Dane !!! 😁
@dalekelly. Howdy Dale 😆
Thank you for clarifying
I agree wholeheartedly!
Excellent.
I fully thought this was a video of DJ Khalid explaining universalism for a second
this is the best,
I love your teachings. They match 100% with my own theology.
You are 100% correct. Let us keep in mind that the original Greek texts of the Bible can be translated maybe a dozen different ways!!
There’s a saying “A rose by any other name is still a rose” so it is with Universalism whether it’s called Ultimate Reconciliation, Restorative Salvation, etc.
When standing before Judge Jesus at the Great White Throne Judgment, people (Oprah Winfrey, Billy Graham, Robert Schuller for examples) who publicly promoted the erroneous doctrine that eventually all people, Satan, fallen angels and demons will be saved will suffer the greater degree of punishment.
What Bible version do you use i use concardant litral
I have reservations on the concordat Bible. I personally use NKJV, blended with other translations, including the Hebrew and Greek originals.
Thank you for this clarification! I got so confused when learning about universal salvation,it ultimately got to a point I had to say it made no sense to even put your faith in christ.I soon realized that this doctrine was completely antithetical to the teachings of Christ and the great commission.
wulfgar3000 so...will you elaborate on how I’m wrong

Universal salvation is no Doctrine 😊
4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5He saved us(Past tense)not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth. Titus3: 3-6
The Cross is the finished work of salvation in Christ, it is experienced by the intervention of faith and belief when drawn by God
Faith and belief are good works and in measure, they are not a whole, and will be rewarded but it is only the blood and mercy of Christ that saves.
This brother in this video is only splitting hairs, he has missed far to much relevant scpriture on this topic and his conclusion is not reasonable at all. 0:06
Can you please share a statement of faith? I want to further understand your view as you say the Bible teaches. Thanks so much. I enjoy what you are sharing.
The Below is not official yet, but just work in progress... It needs expansion and further clarifications, and it is not a standard evangelical one. I use Church fathers quotes to prove the apostolic nature of my faith.
The Life of Faith Statement of Faith and position:
This statement of Faith is based on very early Church fathers’ statements based on their understanding of the Christian tradition and faith:
1. The Scriptures: “We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the Gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, handed down to us in the Scriptures, to be the ground and pillar of our faith.” (Irenaeus 130-202 AD).
2. God: We acknowledge a God, and a Son, his Logos, and a Holy Spirit, united in essence-the Father, the Son, the Spirit-because the Son is the Intelligence, Reason, and Wisdom of the Father, and the Spirit an effluence, as light from fire. (Athenagoras 177 AD )
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father; God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made… We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. (Nicene Creed 325 AD)
3. Incarnation of God the Son: For us men and for our salvation He (God the Son) came down from heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. (Nicene Creed 325 AD)
4. Salvation by Faith Expressed in Baptism: “And we who through his will have been called in Christ Jesus are justified, not by ourselves, or through our wisdom or understanding or godliness, or the works that we have done in holiness of heart, but by faith, by which all men from the beginning have been justified by Almighty God, to whom be glory world without end. Amen.” (Clement of Rome 70-110 AD) “For, in the name of God, the Father and Lord of the universe, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, they then receive the washing with water. For Christ also said, "Except ye be born again, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Justin Martyr 100 -160 AD) “We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.” (Nicene Creed 325 AD)
5. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church: As I have already observed, the Church, having received this preaching and this faith, although scattered throughout the whole world, yet, as if occupying but one house, carefully preserves it. (Irenaeus 130-202 AD).
6. The Resurrection of the Body: “The resurrection is a resurrection of the flesh which died. For the spirit dies not; the soul is in the body, and without a soul it cannot live. The body, when the soul forsakes it, is not. For the body is the house of the soul; and the soul the house of the spirit.” (Justin Martyr 100-165 AD) “We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come” (Nicene Creed 325 AD). Assuredly, as the reason why restoration takes place at all is the appointed judgment, every man must needs come forth the very same who had once existed, that he may receive at God's hands a judgment, whether of good desert or the opposite. And therefore the body too will appear; (Tertullian 155-220 AD) Amen
7. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
I agree
If you look to prove that all are not saved, you will find it to be true.
If you look to prove that all are saved, you will find it to be true as well.
If we focus on one color in a painting long enough, it becomes whatever color we want it to be, even when there is no color at all.
But he used Scripture references to prove what he said....what specific issue do you have with this video ?
@@dailythoughts6575Those same references can be used to prove the opposite of what he is saying.
I can supply you with multiple Scriptural references to fully justify Universal salvation if you desire.
@@jasonegeland1446 One thing is sure, not everyone is saved FROM the WRATH of God but everyone will be reconciled eventually & the punishment of the unsaved (from the wrath of God) is NOT endless & I believe that you already believe all this.
If the Universal Salvation camp take the word 'Salvation' to mean everyone will ultimately be saved, they are correct because I can understand what they are trying to say.... BUT their terminology is off & it makes them sound like they are zealous without knowledge.....
Salvation is different from Reconciliation & the confusion of these terms has led to misunderstandings.
Salvation is from the wrath of God & Reconciliation is a work of Christ which is applied in two--fold....A believer is reconciled with God when they believe.... and they also receive Salvation from His wrath....
Unbelievers will be reconciled after the wrath of God..... if anyone preaches that all people are saved & don't have to worry about the coming wrath, that person is preaching dangerous lies & should repent from the lie.
Reconciliation is possible because Jesus tasted death for all men & rose up from the grave on behalf of all men....
However Salvation from God's wrath is conditional on whether one believes or not.
What are you views on this topic please....I would like to know if you don't mind.
@@dailythoughts6575 I couldn't have said it any better than you did! Yes, I believe in God's consuming fire and understand it to be symbolic and temporary. I'm so glad we're on the same page! :) I hadn't given much thought to the difference in salvation and reconciliation concerning God's purpose. I figured they were generally the same in terms of the end goal reached. Glad to take part in this discussion with you. Forgive me if my replies are a little slow sometimes :)
@@jasonegeland1446 God bless you.
The lord made evil Isaiah 45:7 The lord made all things The Lord made Lucifer a murderer from the beginning with no truth in him John 8:44 The Lord makes some to honor and some to dishonor. The Lord predestined and delivered the innocent Jesus into wicked hands to be slain Acts 2:23 so let me ask you how will He judge Lucifer for doing the works he was made for. Here's a clue : Creation was jailed in vanity, against it's will Romans 8:20 For God has shut up all to disobedience so that he can have mercy on all Romans 11:32
obviously brother, you believe in predestination. and though the topic is very complicated, I disagree on the interpretation of much of what you said.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon Yes I believe God predestined everyone to salvation. Romans 8:29 "For those He foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son: well he foreknew everyone and everything didnt he 1John 3:20 case closed
@@lifeoffaithlebanon You have to understand brother that to sin is to "miss the mark" , to make a mistake , an error, do something that is not right(eousness) but wrong. Now God does not sin so therefore he has never made a mistake, so Satan, nor anyone or anything is a mistake that the Sovereign Almighty will not conform to his will Ephesians 1:11 . God created the tree of the knowledge of evil and the serpent who deceived Eve put them in the garden and declared his creation very good because he works all things for good (Himself, "there is only one that is good" Mark 10:18 ) to those that love him (which is everyone because we love him because he first loved us and he loves everyone). Where sin is grace superabounds and since we are saved by grace it is impossible for sin to ultimately conquer anything or anyone. "A man can receive NOTHING lest it is given from heaven" John 3:27 irrefutably proves we are saved by grace alone and that faith is a gift given by the one who wills all men to be saved 1Timothy 2:4 . God always does what is right Genesis 18:25 and sometimes he does evil because it is right, like delivering His innocent Son into wicked hands to be slain Acts2:23 or the 30 occurrences of Him doing evil or repenting of the evil He had planned to do that are recorded in Jeremiah for example. God made people to carry out these calamities ; someone had to nail Christ to the cross but their maker cried forgive them for they were unknowingly at the time carrying out God's " deliberate plan and foreknowledge" acts 2:23 Nothing complicated about it at all. Disobedience of God is a sin, a mistake, foolish even most educated would agree, yet our all wise God subjected or jailed or forced all creation against its will to disobey him so that he could have mercy on us all Romans11:32 . No wonder Romans 12:3 records Paul " For I say through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according as God has given to every man the measure of faith "
@@nevbillett7554 I would argue that it is possible that in Romans 8,29 Paul is talking about Jews only who were predestined. They are predestined (as his chosen people) and "called" the same way the Christians ("we") according to verse 28 are called. This calling is even more important because those being called will be justified and glorified.
A similar way of thinking is applied in Ephesians 1, where both verses 5 and 11 speak about a group (referred to as "we" by the writer) that is predestined. Eph. 1,13-15 speaks of the Gentile readers of the letter as "you" (thus making a distinction to the "we"/"us" in the first part of the chapter) and says that they heard the gospel (one could say they were called) and were sealed with the Holy Spirit. But this group of Christians was not predestined. They were called and sealed only.
The predestination of the Jews also becomes clear from Romans 11, where Paul argues that even though they fell, God will finally save them which will mean life for all. This will be the final fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham that "all nations shall be blessed" because of his righteousness. This blessing for all actually is the big mystery he reveals in Romans 11.
Your brother Thomas
@@Thomas_Zscheile Hello Thomas, It is little known among Christians that the modern nation , established in 1948 , usurped the name Israel and did not have the legal right in the court of God to claim that name . Because of Solomon's sin God divided the 12 tribes into 10 called Israel and 2 made up of Judah and Benjamin . Israel was dispersed by Assyria (721 BC) and has never returned (the 10 lost tribes of Israel) , Judah was given into the hands of the Babylonians but returned to fulfill Christ's birth in the tribe of Judah and the house of David in Bethlehem. Judaism is opposed to Christ and a "Jew" is certainly not an Israelite , further Paul enlightens us that genealogical descent has absolutely nothing to do with God's definition of a true Israelite whom He also calls His chosen , elect. Sons of God, overcomers. Of course nothing is lost to God , He knows exactly who and where His true Israelites are and their glorious manifestation will soon take place in the first resurrection. For detailed scriptural proof google God's Kingdom Ministries and read Dr Steven Jones The Sceptre and the Birthright or you can listen to it on tape
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

What is your point quoting this verse, dear? It does not contradict the Biblical concept of Universalism.
Well I quoted that because it says the unbeliever will not see life. The same message through 3:14-18 say that the unbeliever is condemned and shall perish.
So where is there room for everyone eventually being reconciled?
@@lifeoffaithlebanonwhat is the opposite of not believing on Jesus Christ
Shall not see life
It's so important to make these considerations on terms. Following from Brazil . Where are you from?
@Life of Faith Christian Ministry I am new to this teaching and am fast becoming a believer! I wanted to hear your take on James 2 where he basically contradicts the entire set of verses you quoted from Romans chapters 3&4. In James he even goes on to say, Was Abraham works not counted for righteousness? And it talks about him offering Isaac on the alter. However in Genesis, it said Abraham believed when he was told he will have a family as many as the stars. So James was written to the 12 tribes so that may explain it. It seems to even be talking about the Tribulation Jews if you look at James 5:3. Appreciate any feedback! Gos bless you.
Thank you for your comment, Brother. I, personally, do not see any contradiction in James, as James is teaching from a practical perspective. Paul teaches that Faith saves you and makes you a new creation. Not works, but faith. and once you are a new creation, you live in the newness of life, the new nature, the good deeds that God predestined for you. James is saying: if you are a new creation, claiming to be a believer, let me see that in your actions. otherwise your claims are false. Paul is teaching that happens in the heart, James is asking for the outward fruit of what happens in the heart.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon Thanks for your response. I have to disagree. If James is saying you are false convert for not outwardly showing works, than it implies that you MUST have works to be a saved Christian. This is false. James is writing this letter to the 12 Tribes of Israel and of you look at Rev 14:12, it’s clearly showing a faith plus works time period. I understand what you’re saying, but respectfully disagree because you can be a carnal Christians your whole life and still be saved. Unless you’re simply saying he wants his congregation to walk in the faith and show good works as an example, but not a salvation issue, then I would agree with you.
yes there is judgement for all the righteous are judged at the judgement seat of Christ for rewards and the unbelievers at the great white throne judgement. never said there won't be judgement cause there will be. where does the faith to believe come from? sinners don't have faith to believe either they become a believer or they don't which is why the gospel is needed but it is God who gives the faith to believe
our faith doesn't come from us in the first place. It is God's love for us that saves us, not our love for Him.
What do you tick anout the blasbem of Holi spirit Will they be saved
saved from Judgement for their Blasphemy? No, but once they receive due judgement, they will be purified and be united and reconciled back to God.

"The Lord added to the church daily those being saved" ; We are saved by grace through faith ( Christ's faith not ours ) AND THIS NOT OF YOURSELF . John 3:27 a man can receive nothing lest it is given him from heaven. Of course you need to believe but faith is given . Also we most definetly are saved by the faith OF Jesus which enabled him to endure the cross. What your talking about, faith in Jesus is all resultant from the grace and faith OF Christ who had the faith to graciously offer his blood which made possible the remission of sins.
AMEN! it was THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST that took HIM to the cross for our reconciliation. HE was the faithful one. Paul even says that …..Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me....if we are crucified means we are dead to the flesh and so how can it be our faith? thank you for your response brother.

In the words do matter so the word that's translated to saved a lot of times in the Greek also meant healed or made well. At this point it's semantics. You can enjoy the kingdom of God now or you will be faced with it after death and then come to the knowledge of God and then realize how much you wasted with your time here on earth.
Actually it is based on the who ever is in the book of life. Works towards the people of God.

that is a matter of sematics.
So, you say you don't believe in eternal conscious torment. That's great, but what then does happen to those who fall short after having been judged?
what does fall short mean? Please clarify? In summary, Jesus taught that those who did not believe will be subject to Kolasis (punishment) with Eternal value or impact. This punishment is a purgatorial in nature. Thus, the sins were not forgiven by the blood of Jesus are judged per their limited value, and for the purpose of purification. Until all are purified. Thereafter, and due to perfect knowledge, they will fall no more.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon Fall short, meaning, they have been judged as having missed the mark.
So, if I understand you correctly. Are you saying those who are judged for their sins, eventually come to perfect knowledge, by being purified through judgment? Thus, having been purified through judgment, they then have learned to sin no more?
@@dalekelley exactly.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon If my questions seem odd, please understand that I'm just trying to fully grasp what you're saying, as compared to what I've previously been taught.

Good preacher brother
Very well Jesus has two paths wide or narrow, but He's regardless the one way!
The law the Spirit of the Law immediately justifies those who liv according to total faith in and faithful living in His wholeness of lov and keeping as many commandments as they possible, those are the ones who when the day and hour arrive will be blessed and Babylon is overwhelmed!
Just don't forget He baptizes all with fire not only the Holy Spirit, for every man is a liar and God's the truth and every liar will have their portion in the crucible
There's the individual crucible (those pressed and tested against the basalt touch stone) for those who chose to stand on their own defense and took no pardon, and also the fire that every person put onto Christ, which we'll all experience when all is revealed
Well at least that's what I believe, that we see all of what Christ went through the culmination of all history
We'll also know what going into to a sinful world in the first place was all about, and having our bodies in these forms, born into part ignorance/part awareness, etc.
Also how Jesus could be both 100% God and 100% man simultaneously (that's technically already answered if we just read our bibles), how all of creation glorifies Him, what was unseen all along, the kinds of lives people had individually and collectively, etc.
Why we were in linear time, all mysteries, etc.
Although anybody who believes now like you said, we the true Israel, His bride, are saved from the earthbound wrath (in trade for lesser persecutions) and appointed millennial glorification and stewarding His providence (:
I agree that we should get away from the terminology of universal salvation.
Salvation meant different things in scripture.
We must also come to scripture rightly dividing and understanding that Christ fulfilled the Law of Moses, the prophets and Psalms.
We are looking at scripture some 200 years years after the can closed.
We are left with God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
Rhe Kingdom goapel is one of peace and grace and walking by the Spirit of God.
There is a judgement when we leave this earthly life, however that
occurred. It is fair and righteous and restorative.
There are many scriptures that say faith of Jesus Christ, genitive case, and it is not false, as we are saved by the faith of the Jesus Christ in us. Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:11-12. I also have several videos about Ultimate Universal Salvation. God bless you.
Sure, there are passages in the Bible that speak about "the Faith of Christ", but not the ones you mentioned. Stating that placing our faith in Jesus Christ is necessary, does not eliminate or replace Grace. I have went through the Bible passages that speak of the Faith of Jesus Christ, and it means different things in different places depending on the context, I have studied and explored some of them in another video. God bless you, Brother.
I believe in Universal Reconciliation i think it was the doctrine that i Studied more in the past..the doctrine of lets say Hell.. but i dont go into theological debates anymore about things that devide brothers.. for me that time of it its gone...the truth Will Come to the surface...
He created the blind and the deaf. Agree with ultimate reconciliation except for the man of perdition.
Thoughts?
SAVED BY GRACE--- AND NOT BY SELF CHOICE.... NO MAN CHOOSES JESUS--- HE CHOOSES MAN IN HIS PERFECT TIMING...
PAUL WAS A "CHOSEN VESSEL" AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CHURCH AGE... JESUS' AMAZING GRACE WENT AND SAVED HIM ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD--- AND NOT THE WILL
AND CHOICE OF ANY MAN--- PAUL DID NOT CHOOSE JESUS- BUT JESUS CHOSE HIM..... NOR DID YOU CHOOSE JESUS--- BUT HE CHOSE YOU.....
Act 9:15... But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a CHOSEN VESSEL unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Religious Bible scholars would have us to believe that THEY MADE A CHOICE TO BE SAVED--they say they SAVED THEMSELVES BY HUMAN CHOICE. That kind of mind set (HUMAN REASONING) just proclaimed that they did not need GOD'S AMAZING SAVING GRACE WORKING to empower them to believe AND be saved. They saved themselves because of THE POWER OF THEIR CHOICE- THEY BOLDLY SAY.
Religion in our churches tell us that the reason they are saved and other people are not is because THEY SAVED THEMSELVES BY MAKING A CHOICE FOR JESUS- THERE IS "NO GRACE" WORKING IN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. Carnal men say.... I KNOW THE LAMB OF GOD HAS TAKEN AWAY THE SIN OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. Then they say out of the other side of their mouth.... BUT YOU HAVE TO CHOSE JESUS TO BE SAVED.
Thus saying men are saved by THE POWER OF THEIR-MEN'S OWN WILL OR CHOICE is a CLEAR CONRADICTION TO THE TRUE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST--- JESUS' TRUE SALVATION IS CLEARLY A SALVATION GIVEN "BY THE POWER OF GOD'S SAVING GRACE ALONE--- AND NOT MAN'S CHOICE". THUS does not the choice of man save anyone. I HEARD RELIGION BOLDLY TELL ME THEY CHOSE JESUS.... YES I'VE HEARD THEIR WORDS.... NOW LET'S SEE WHAT "JESUS HIMSELF" SAY'S ABOUT BEING SAVED BY GRACE.
Eph 2:8... For BY GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES- MAN'S CHOICE DID NOT SAVE HIM-- GOD'S GRACE SAVED HIM: it is the gift of God:
RELIGIOUS MEN's words do not agree with GOD'S WORDS. God JUST SAID.... I SAVE BY GRACE through faith.... and that not of YOURSELVES-- meaning-- NOT OF THE POWER OF HUMAN STRENGTH, POWER OR CHOICE. GOD'S GRACE is God's divine empowerment, his enablement TO SAVE.
He found us ALL SPIRITUALLY DEAD in our trespasses and sins. DEAD MEN MAKE NO CHOSES. WE WERE "IN THIS WORLD" SPIRITUALLY DEAD.... and having NO HOPE AT ALL.... NO POWER TO MAKE A CHOICE FOR JESUS. The power of HIS SAVING GRACE
begin to work in us mightily changing our hearts, changing and transforming our desires and hunger. He found us all DEAD SPIRITUALLY TO THE THINGS OF GOD.
We were SPIRITUALLY DEAD, WITHOUT GOD in this world. WITH NO HOPE AT ALL. MAN'S HUMAN CHOICE CANNOT SAVE HIM--- ONLY JESUS SAVES-- AND THAT NOT OF OURSELVES. HIS SAVING GRACE BEGIN TO WORK IN OUR LIVES, THUS A "NEW CREATURE" came forth BY THE GLORIOUS POWER OF HIS MIGHT-- AND HIS MIGHT ALONE.
Therefore all of a sudden WE BEGIN TO DESIRE AND HUNGER TO BE SAVED. In my life I went from being SPIRITUALLY DEAD TO GOD--- THEN GRACE CAME--- AND WHEN HIS SAVING GRACE WORKED ON ME..... I WAS SO HUNGRY FOR GOD-- I WANTED TO BE SAVED TO THE UTTER MOST. Ol the power of HIS SAVING GRACE. JESUS ALONE SAVED ME NOT MY CHOICE. ALL THE GLORY GOES TO MY GOD AND HIS SAVING GRACE..
DID YOU CHOSE JESUS OR DID HE CHOSE YOU! Did your choice save you or did "HIS ELECTION OF GRACE" save you? HERE IT IS... HEAR IT... SEE IS... BELIEVE IT...... HOW CLEAR ARE JESUS' WORDS....
Jhn 15:16... "YE" have NOT CHOSEN ME, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU-BY GRACE, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
JESUS JUST SAID.... YE "YOU" HAVE NOT CHOSEN ME,
BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU...... Now Jesus words are SATURATED WITH GRACE AND TRUTH---
Men say THEY ARE SAVED BECAUSE THEY CHOSE JESUS AND OTHER'S DIDN'T CHOOSE HIM... Men's words are filled with religious human reasoning and lies. WE ARE BORN AGAIN BY THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT OF GRACE-- AND NOT BY THE WILL OF MAN NOR THE CHOICE OF MAN. Let GOD BE THE TRUTH and every man contradicting him be a liar. HERE IT IS IN THE WORD... HEAR IT... SEE IT... BELIEVE IT...
Jhn 1:13... WHICH WERE BORN (OF GOD), not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, NOR THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD.
HEAR IT.... NOR THE WILL OF MAN..... THAT INCLUDES YOUR WILL OR YOUR CHOICE..... YOUR CHOICE DID NOT SAVE YOU..... JESUS DID.....
WHEN I HEAR CHRISTIANS TELL ME..... THEY CHOSE JESUS I THEN KNOW THEY ARE SO IMMATURE IN THE THINGS OF GOD.... THEY YET HAVE NOT A CLEAR REVELATION CONCERNING--- THE AMAZING SAVING GRACE OF ALIMIGHTY GOD....
If you are truly saved today..... Let me give you some GOOD NEWS..... JESUS DID IT...….. NOT YOUR WILL NOR YOUR CHOICE...... GLORY TO HIS NAME.....
Blessings All!
Salvation from condemnation is through Jesus Christ alone, that is why we have to preach the good news so people will escape this punishment of their sins which is based on their works....
Reconciliation is God's plan to ultimately have EVERYONE, those who believed & those who didn't believe, to worship God BUT in the future kingdom of God, we will not all have the same ranking - those who believed in Christ will INHERIT THE KINGDOM - which is something most preachers ignore... this is a marvelous promise from God !
There are many benefits for believing in Christ....its not only to escape the wrath but also to inherit God kingdom for all eternity!
"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." - Luke 12:32
Yes, the apostles will have a higher ranking all believers will be part of the inheritance! Hallelujah!
The Bible calls it, 'the inheritance of the saints' !
Now, I was thinking about those who NEVER heard the Gospel and those who lived BEFORE Jesus: it dawned to me that even though they will be reconciled with God after the condemnation/punishment of their sins, however they will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Now when you understand this, you realize how special God thinks of us who live in the times of the Gospel, because it is ONLY through the Gospel that we are SAVED & INHERIT the kingdom !
This is mind-blowing !
My brother, I appreciate your earnestness, but you need to study the events of the AD 70 Jewish Roman war to understand the complete teachings of the Bible, especially that of the teachings of Jesus and his appostles.
Thank you for your comment. Probably you are advocating full preterism. I personally adhere to partial preterism, as did the early Church fathers, and still hold fast to the absolute global fulfillment of the Prophecies in the Future.
I think partial preterism and universal salvation/restoration are extremely compatible. People try and say Jesus preached about Hell and the end times so much but a lot of his warnings were to the Jews about the coming destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Part of Him asking people to believe Him is so they could be saved of the coming destruction of Jerusalem and come to truly know God
@@lifeoffaithlebanon What in your estimation has not come to fruition yet? (Speaking of Preterism)
@@googleplaynow9608 Nothing has come to pass of the aim of the second coming of Christ. Jesus promised to come again to Rule over the earth and cause peace to reign, he promised to come back to take His Bride Home,
@@lifeoffaithlebanon your church better be without spot then!
But yes, it clearly has come to pass. We don't see it through physical eyes. The use of "tense" and timing is critical or none of the Bible writings can be trusted.
I fail to understand why "loving the victim" means tormenting the victimizer. If the victim is healed by God, they dont need any sort of revenge to be satisfied.
It is called "Justice" and using the term "Tormenting the VIctimizer" is not accurate, I would call it "purifying the criminal" from their own evil.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon i have no issue with the idea of a purification process for the sinner, im only speaking to the idea that the punishment has something to do with love for the victim
kinda funny since we will all be judged how does sinners have faith being they want nothing to do with God they are not only blinded to the truth but they oppose God and rebel at every turn also no one seeks God
Hello dear. Please expand and clarify your point.

Theirs also verses that say all will be saved, especially the believers. Not "only". And witht he notion not all are saved,, then from the beginning of time, theirs already a death certificate for innocent souls that are born. Also to think everyone in thr world can get baptized before they die is insane.
The Bible verses say that God prepared Salvation for all or that he is the Saviour of all. But at the same, salvation in this world requires Faith & baptism (as Jesus mentioned). So the conclusion is this: God wants to save the world. Some receive it in this age, but some get it the hard way, practically not saved, but judged and purified in Gehenna. The ultimate result is one, but makes more sense Biblically.
What are you talking about? The Bible blatantly and irrefutably says you are saved by faith alone, not of works lest any man should boast. It explicitly says works are not counted towards salvation.
Putting your trust in Jesus is works? Dear, modern Christians are not able to understand Paul, because they do not understand that Paul, when talking about works, is talking about the works of the Law, not any action of responding to God in general. a hundred times the Bible speaks of us giving an account for the works we do, but when Paul compares Grace with Works, he is referring to the Works of the Law.. The law of Moses...
Also, an act of responding to God's gift is NOT works, and does not contradict the principle of Grace, this is a modern hype resulting from centuries of Calvinistic influence.
So satan and the demons are saved too?
Saved is a big word. They are not saved. Will they ultimately be redeemed? Interestingly, many Church fathers believed this to be the case. I personally lean towards that view.
Life of Faith Ministry / Pentecostal Universalist so the lake of fire is purification
@@luciatomass9439 Thats what i believe.
Life of Faith Ministry / Pentecostal Universalist Is the lake of fire literal fire you think or outer darkness and void
@@luciatomass9439 maybe not literal fire, but a place to experience purification. Out darkness does not purify.
I have a hard time believing in eternal conscious torment too. It is hard to imagine a loving caring Lord doing that to anyone. Only an evil horrible sadistic tyrant would do that and Jesus is none of those words. If anything he is our friend and savior. He paid the horrible price for our sins because he knows that it is too much for us to bear. It is only because of Dante Alighieri that we would ever have such a horrible thought stuck in our heads. I wonder if Jesus will be having a long winded chat with him about scaring us like that!!
Eternal Hell is real, and it's infinitely more horrible than anyone has ever conceived of it ever
Sir you get angry because we of the universal reconciliation camp believe ALL will be saved. I do not get angry but I have compassion for you and all who believe not in universal salvation. I like to make some points here first, you quoted this scripture 1) Mark 16:16 this verse says nothing about being 'condemned' the correct Greek word for your 'condemnation' word is "JUDGED" and what are we told about GOD'S judgment? here it is brother if you can receive it...... Isaiah 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early " for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS" …..you see that? when GOD'S judgments are on the earth the world will learn "righteousness" 2) so you give the glory to men for their "missing the mark" (sins) huh? here are some scriptures you my friend need to get familiar with.....THE LORD created the wicked. Proverbs 16:4 ….THE LORD created us ALL in disobedience. Romans 11:32......THE LORD creates evil. Isaiah 45;7 …….the ONLY way to become like GOD and HIS SON JESUS CHRIST is KNOWING good and evil. Genesis 3:22.....no one can come to JESUS unless THE FATHER draw us TO JESUS. John 6:44.....the ONLY way any of us can keep the LAWS of GOD is by HE giving us a new heart and a new spirit. Ezekiel 36:26.....Jeremiah 31:33...… we were put on this earth to experience good and evil because IT IS how this scripture gets fulfilled...….Genesis 3:22 Then the LORD God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL...." …..3) So you really believe that GOD is going to wake people up the bad people from their sleep (death) ONLY to send them to hell? PLEASE I urge you to REPENT brother!
Dear Gilbert, obviously you did not even listen to the message. Life of Faith is all about Universal Reconciliation from a Biblical perspective. I reject Eternal conscious torment, and believe that ultimately all people will.be reconciled to God. The aim of this video is to adjust the terminology used by some which is unbiblical. So all the assumptions in your remarks were a waste of your precious time.
Well, dear, after reviewing your posts, your god (small letter) who wants you to experience evil is an evil god. You follow the old testament way of thinking though it was perfected in Jesus, who clearly said that "the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy"... the devil is the murderer, not the Father. God is good, and evil is outside him and his will. It is only an evil god who sits and watches people suffer without interfering. It is sad that your image of God is so negative and scary, the same as the one those who believe in Eternal hell promote.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon I did listen to your video Sir and is why I responded. but even the intro speaks about what it is about. universal reconciliation was finished at the cross yet those sins which JESUS paid 2000 plus years before you and I were even thought off. what is salvation to you? have yo done a study on salvation? what are we being saved from? we are being saved from ourselves because within us is noting good. and so universal salvation is sure because eventually ALL will be made righteous.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon you response here is disrespectful Sir that is in no way the spirit of CHRIST. all that I have said so far has been backed by scripture. is there a scripture that says that THE LORD does ---not--- create evil? is there a scripture that says that THE LORD does ---not--- create the wicked? yet the scriptures are clear "THE LORD does do these things" do you believe that GOD had nothing to do with the sacrifice of HIS SON JESUS CHRIST? in your view, the devil had the power to sacrifice JESUS because according to you satan is the murderer. that Sir is blasphemy. yet here is what we are told in this passage.....John 19:10Then said Pilate to him, Speak you not to me? know you not that I have power to crucify you, and have power to release you? 11Jesus answered, You could have no power at all against me "except it were given you from above" therefore he that delivered me to you has the greater sin.....in scriptures there is the relative but more importantly there is also the absolute. all things truly are of GOD. that is the absolute.
@@MACLOVIO357-SOSA Dear, offence is not meant at all in my response and no disrespect at all. Let me emphasise on one of the mistakes you mentioned which is totally wrong. In Mark.16: 16, the word for condemned in greek is "condemned" not judged. Literally it is a combination of two words that literally mean "judge-against" i.e. condemned. Check the dictionaries for that. As for God creating Evil, the Bible says in several places that God is good, James says that God only sends good and perfect gifts. The verses used usually out of the Old Testament are out of context and intend to express an image which is incomplete of God, as God's image in the old testament is not perfect and was never perfected except by the revelation of God the Son.
1timm2:4- 4:10 Roman's 5 1corinthians 15. God is the savior of whole world. If he dosnt save all he is not! Simple logic. Problem is translation. 1 key word eonian True definition is eon ore age.
Read Job. The experience of dying. Christ is the ransom.
If christ be lifted up he will draw all. Simple he is not the savior of whole world if he doesn't. That makes him a liar. So simple. Its a time issue. Not all are saved at the same time. Christ first born then gods chosen before the disruption of the world too reconcile all back too God through christ then God is all and all. Most will go too second death gods will is to save all and bring all too the knowledge of the truth. After judgement and before. Lol
It's unfortunate you've been tricked into wavering on the salvation of all. Ultimate reconciliation is the outcome of salvation. You're presenting a false dichotomy between the two with the misguided notions that the whole creation is now reconciled to God(leastwise that's how it sounds) and that the bible doesn't teach everyone is saved now. The problem is you don't account for the figure prolepsis(Romans 4:17 for example) which is the text speaking of things that will be as though they're presently accomplished. Because of this you're overshadowing clear declarations of the finished work of the cross that will eventually save all, every man in his own order. Another detail you're overlooking is the word "saved" when it's in the incomplete verb form and when it's in the complete verb form, and both are used for the believer. Salvation is a process. If it wasn't we wouldn't be looking forward to the resurrection. Our own salvation is not complete but from God's perspective we're already seated with Christ. This is prolepsis and if God inspired the writers of the scriptures to speak of things that will be as though they are, why forbid it in our own evangelizing? If we think it's a done deal, what major difference of significance are you making? Granted when confusion comes as a result of the process of salvation conveyed in the text we must point out the difference between God reckoning us as righteous when we come to believe the evangel and the completed work of our salvation at the resurrection that removes all of our corruption. As to Romans 3:22 why are you reading the word IN into the text? You're taking liberty with the text because of the preponderance of scriptures that talk about faith IN Jesus Christ. Faith in Christ is the part of the process of coming to the realization that Jesus died on the cross to bring salvation to all and was raised the third day conquering death for all thus making Him Lord over all things until He subdues all sin and brings all enemies under His feet. Salvation is a process and the final outcome, while yet future, is a done deal. Therefore speaking of the outcome as though it's already done is concordant with scripture. I don't have a problem with you pointing out critical distinctions but you're putting the cart before the horse. Reconciliation is a product of salvation. The reconciliation of all isn't complete either because not everyone is saved. Sin and death still permeate the creation. If the reconciliation of all is now then God being the All in all is rather unimpressive. It's never been my understanding that biblical universalists are teaching the salvation of all is now complete nor that God isn't just. Unfortunately your message is confusing because you sound like you're rejecting the outcome because of scriptures speaking of the now. What makes this confusion striking is you've eloquently responded to people in past who put your words on a slippery slope saying you're implying that all religions lead to God if people go to their graves rejecting Jesus as the only way to God. You used the correct scripture Philippians 2:9-11. In view of your prior understanding of this scripture it's odd you're making the case that the bible doesn't say everyone isn't saved because of scriptures that speak of the present state of the creation. It doesn't seem possible you could have understood Philippians 2:9-11 without realizing that's a truth for the future, not now.
Anyway I recently subscribed because you seemed to be evangelizing the truth but you sound confused and on your way to a different evangel. I have to unsub your channel. Too bad because it's hard to find biblical universalists. I hope the fog clears for you soon. Take care and many blessings.
How sad it is that you are not willing to dialogue, but rather to throw your "Sales Pitch" and run away without closing the deal.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon well no, that's not what I did at all and for you to take it that way with so much belligerence and hostility your appeal to "dialogue" is grossly disingenuous. So good job shutting down any further discussion.
It's a bit hard to follow you there brother.
The intervention of faith brings salvation, but it is not what saves us, least the cross be not needed
Scripture is clear that we are saved by his mercy/blood, and that all have been handed over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
It just seems like you are splitting hairs with your terminology
It appears presupposed at the cross that everyone shall be saved obviously. Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
Why does God still blame us for who can resist his will?
Shall the clay say to the potter, why did you make me like this.😮 (The case of Judas)
4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5He saved us,(past tense, done)not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth. Titus3: 3-6 (born again)
We are saved from sin from Adam(no choice)
Look here is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. All mankind and creation was born again at the cross obviously, this is why Christ was going to the cross when he told Nicodemus you must be born again. Absolutely nothing to do with the choice of man.
The Wrath of God is to end evil not his beloved creation (noun)
Jesus does not save us from God😊
But agree some seem to make the banquet and some don't, however this is under God's control because he has mercy on him he wants to have mercy.
However, it is specifically clear that the absence of mercy does not quantify the absence of love. And that's were a lot of us get confused thinking there's two Gods one of judgement and one of love, a grave mistake.
Judgement all through the scripture appears as a prerequisite to the following act of mercy
Although it's a mystery and I have studied and looked at this topic for years It is obvious that love wins in the end.
Ironically it is explicitly clear that every knee and tongue shall bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father.
It would seem that the scripture is correct when it states that "no one is cast off by the Lord forever Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.
Brother, I agree with something like 90% of your statements. except the part that disregards human will to accept or reject God's grace in this life.
@@lifeoffaithlebanonI agree we have the free will to choose who we will serve on this side of life as to the experiencing a measure of salvation and grace.
But I don't agree this choice has anything to do with pertaining to a point of salvation, as that point was obviously made by God at the cross for all.
1 Timothy 4:10 As I'm sure you are aware of states along this line
"That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe"
@brianbrodie8331 that's the part where we have to split hairs. What is the measure of salvation that we decide on in this life? Even when we agree that eventually all will.be restored and all will be well by the grace or God.
But the problem is you still seem to have the point of salvation subject to the choice of man not the work or obedience of Christ.
It completely negates the cross and therefore I find it impossible to hold such a position. I mean what was the purpose of the cross? What actually happened at the cross? You haven't really explained or given your account of this.
The scripture says not just you but you and your household will be saved ....wait on a minute, the others got saved by someone else's intention/choice 😮? that's where it gets a little more tricky.
At what point has a man conjured up enough faith or belief to announce 'I believe' and be saved? I'm aware of the scriptures and in simple English it would literally look like what you are saying must be obviously correct , but on the other hand it also appears totally flawed.
And this is the very dilemma where we of course get the main theologies of Arminianism, Calvinism, Universalism and Ultimate reconciliation etc.
But I think we both agree because of the fact that salvation belongs to the Lord that He will in the end will save and reconcile all mankind and creation according to His will.
I mean either way who's going to stop Him😊
@brianbrodie8331 Not me, it is the Bible, it is the new testament terminology. CALVINISM has spoiled the mind of Christians towards the meaning of Grace. SALVATION is always linked to human response in the New Testament, I can provide 10 scriptures from the Top of my head that confirms that.
I think one of the problems that I see right away is it you're acting as if God is nothing but love when in reality the Bible teaches that his foundation is Justice and righteousness he has given us a chance to be saved through his only begotten son and whosoever believes in him will be saved if you don't believe you force God's hand he has no choice righteously but to judge you of your sins righteously if you teach against hell to teach against the Bible if you do not believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and he came and paid the price for our sins by his finished work at the cross and that he was raised again on the third day for our justification you will go to hell forever a righteous God cannot wipe sin under the rug he is already paid the price receive it or not
Dear Larry, first of all, God is love and when the Bible says that, it means there is nothing in God that is not Love, linguistically speaking. As to your views of righteousness, and receiving Jesus, it is true that God's justice will require vengeance for the evil done and the hurt caused to other humans, but that is "An eye for an eye" not "Hell forever" but "Hades for an eternal impact"
God bless.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon I understand that God is love for God so loved the world that He Sent His only begotten son and he is long-suffering towards us that all might be saved but the Bible does teach about hell for non-believers I'll stick with the Bible but I do say God bless you for your conviction over the Lord Christ Jesus but I think that you'll see if you read Romans 10 1 through 7 that people are concerned and try to earn their own righteousness not understanding the righteousness of God and how much it requires without the Lord Christ Jesus's sacrifice all would be damned to hell but now those that believe have been made the righteousness of God in him we can no longer have sin imputed to our account and because of the payment that the Lord has made we will not be judged there is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood only the Lord Christ Jesus can save us by the shedding of his blood for us God bless you

Hi Larry, for what you wrote...I am under the impression that you didnt watch the entire video.
Yes, absolute truth! Only a few will make it to heaven and the rest will be in hell forever. I'm glad someone finally got it right. Ultimate reconciliation is not universal salvation, and I wish Christians would understand this.
I think you got me wrong. Hell is not forever. God's love is.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon Since hell is not forever, but God's love is, isn't the only alternative the salvation of all ? If not, please explain.
@dalekelley what is Salvation? Being saved from something. If you pay for your sins, then you are not saved. But in Christ you will ultimately be back to God, after the judgement.
@@lifeoffaithlebanon I'm not talking about anyone trying to pay for their own sins. I'm simply saying that since hell isn't forever, but God's love IS forever, what's the only alternative?... The salvation of all !
@dalekelley I am agreeing with you, but saying that the word "salvation" might not be accurate, but the actual ultimate Reconciliation is.
