I could of contacted you on Instagram but I wanted to share it here. I had a chance to witness to an atheist today. I listened and witnessed. I didn't know what to say, so I prayed and asked God to lead me. I remembered all the videos you made on how to witness and the examples you showed. It helped me today along with Holy Spirit of course. Thank you Preston. You and this ministry are so needed.
Just Vibin with Tanesha Peace I had a chance to witness to a Jehovah Witness. We didn’t agree and I didn’t convert him but I waked away knowing my truth is backed by scripture
@John Bennett he's not being divisive and prejudice in the statement. Try some understanding before bashing. Unfortunately in our community, many black folks reject Christ simply b/c we know the true history of the bible being used to oppress black folk in this country during slavery and even as recent as the Jim Crow days. That's a driving force behind the Black Hebrew Israelites that Preston mentioned in the video. It's good for some black people to see more black folks like Preston speak intelligently, confidently, and factually on scripture so the Holy Spirit can move in them b/c the hurt they harbor in their hearts simply won't let them listen to anyone else of another race. Sad truth, but it is what it is. That could be said of any people. Fernando's comments probably were from more of a concern for those people.
@John Bennett I agree with you wholeheartedly. And perhaps I may have been hasty in assuming you were bashing. Context does sometimes get lost when you can't hear a person's tone. I do think though the comment was moreso for naive unbelievers rather than actual believers. Paul tore into Peter because believers were treating believers like 2nd class citizens and they should've known better. An unbeliever who harbors resentment is a bit different. The world doesn't necessarily know better and the world is who I was referring to who may not be receptive of everyone, but still need to be reached nonetheless. God bless brother!
Preston you are awesome! You breakdown the scripture in a way that can be understood and applied even if I am not well versed enough yet in biblical knowledge to effectively partake in apologetics. Ever since I found you and your wife a few months ago it has impacted my life in the best way. Please keep making videos and encouraging us. Thank you so much.
Love the way you portray sister Pearl. Lol. I left the Watchtower after 40 years. I wish I had run into someone like you and your audience when i was out in the preaching work. Maybe I would have left sooner.
This was an amazing workshop!!! I could listen to this type of workshop for the rest of my life! I am not strong in apologetics and I shut down because I don't know scripture on the tip of my tongue. I wish I had a brain that could remember scripture. But I feel like listening to this kind of workshop would help me eventually get there. Thank you!
Bless you Preston for you are doing what the Lord has called you to do. I don't have the brain to remember so much and I know that we are all not meant to evangelize. However, when the Lord allows he'll remind me of a teaching I learned via such videos and if it be his will I can plant a lil knowledge on another.
The guy in the pink shorts is very good. I hope he’s really growing in apologetics and defending the truth as much as he can. This whole workshop is so good! I hope he comes out with more. ✨💕
I love the KJV version of the Philippians 2:5-8 scripture 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Honestly i was not aware that this issues are actually real! I cant even remember anyone having to explain the trinity to me. This belief its just what has always been real to me. I cant see possible how it can not. Learning about these other ideas/belief other people have is super inspiring! Very Dope!!! Please put up more content! Bless!!
This video was really great! I look forward to watching more of your stuff. Also, another thing that can be helpful to note on the Philippians 2 passage is that when it says that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow it is quoting from Isaiah 45:23 where God says this. It is a great spot to equate Jesus and Jehovah. Walter Martin does this very well in his lectures.
My uncle is such a lover of God, but he's Seventh Day Adventist and, despite what they say, they DON'T believe in the true trinity that other Christians profess. I continually pray that he and his wife comes to believe in the true essence of God, and I hope it doesn't affect their salvation. Would love to see content on Seventh Day Adventists.
Absolutely loved it! Very good and much needed in the Body. Very funny and entertaining as well. I really hope you put more videos like this on UA-cam to help train and grow Christians in their faith but to also share it boldly to those around us. I think most Christians don't share the Gospel so we don't even know how to articulate clearly what we actually believe. Great video!
Yes .... Except that it's the "very funny and entertaining" aspect that's the problem with all this, because it isn't funny ... As we're dealing with people's lives here, not auditioning for Comedy Central ... For while Preston rightly encourages a respectful attitude and mild temperment when engaging in apologetics toward others as instructed in 1 Peter 3:15. In his examples he comes off as very disrespectful playing the role of a supposed Jehovah's Witness. Where he is trying to make a mockery and laughingstock out of them. And the audience's laughing and having a good time all the while in response is equally bad and un-Christian ....
@@H.T.2forever - Have you actually spoken with Jehovah's Witness? That's how they are. Preston did a very good job... and it was funny because he was pretending to be an old JW woman. Have you shared the Gospel with anyone before or do you just go to your church and go back home and let your pastor do all the work? This video is highly educational and there is no other apologetic videos like it on UA-cam that I can find with the role-play and instruction in-between.

What a treat it is to listen to this young black brother. His annointing is incredible and the Lord Jesus has given him such a talent which is only seen in so few. Sorry to say this brother but im jelous. Forgive me Jesus.
This is so good and much needed. My husband and I are over a church. More and more I'm realizing that church folk are truly biblically ignorant. I plan on teaching apologetic this summer as a class. I plan on integrating some of the things that I learned from this video. Thank you for this. I would love it if you could tell me some books or resources that I could use to add to my learning and integrated into the course.
I really want to go on an apologetic mission with Preston. I’ve been studying I want to see it in action. I want to do it with people who’ve been doing it for a while
I like to say, I learned that it was Jesus himself that introduced the Trinity. He was the 1st one to talk about the Holy Spirit and to talk to the Father, in the Gospels.
Omg ur from Roseland!! I used to come shop there. Lots of cheeeeap replicas kkkk. I lived in the south loop and then during college i lived in (bridgeport, later pilsen). I'm from MALAWI. I am back home now.
And God so good in his word I hope is I reason and our reason is Our Hope I like to explain it to you but a fun to go back and listen to him and see if he get it like scripture said it is
Hello@@Weatherthestormm . Maybe I can help a little. As Christians we believe that there is one true God who governs over all of creation. We believe that God created all people, men and women. Some may believe in many gods or other gods, but as Christians we believe that the one true God that Preston, and more so that the Bible speaks of is God and Lord over all. This God is for you and He loves you. He proved this by sending His Son Jesus to die for you. There is more to the message than that, but it is a simple message and it is for all who come to know Jesus and place their faith in Him.
This was an amazing lesson. Was hoping to see in this video how to have conversations with Hebrew israelites and searched through your past videos to see if you had any of street conversations with one. Hope to see a video on how you do with them. Very interested in learning.
Would love to see Voddie and Preston together on the same stage/room. I think Voddie would have a lot of wisdom for Preston to learn from. And I think Voddie could learn some things from Preston. Will it happen? I pray.
Thank you! I dont know if it's good to say your from the Chi anymore lol. I'm from the area too and moved 20 min further south and more east but still close enough. These areas are getting bad
Wow, I’m glad to see this. But I’m not sure either of them know what they’re talking about in the trinity discussion. The words “forms”, “persons” and “essence” were the foundation of what happened at Nicea in 325 & it was necessary because there were 2 different camps. One who said God is 1 in 3 forms & another that said God is 1 in 3 persons. Those are actually 2 exceedingly different explanations.
@TheEnd A correct understanding of Leviticus and Hebrews would lead you to putting aside the passover. There is only one true passover, when God passed over the sins of those who believed wherein the blood of his own Son is applied in there place. And the reason for the sabbath change has more merit than at first glance, but as for the trinity--you can say what you will about the Council of Nicea but it laid the foundation for the traditions we hold: the deity of Jesus, the 3 separate persons in the Trinity, and the equally human and divine natures in Jesus. These matter for every theological conclusion made in the New Testament.
@TheEnd I did not intend abolished but fulfilled. The early church? I understand where you are coming from but you must not understanding the meaning of it being fulfilled. This is the heart of Romans 14-15 and the literal abolishment of the dietary laws.
TheEnd The scriptures are the means to knowing the will of God. If you have another means to it, then ofcourse I cannot comprehend you. It is also unbiblical not to handle the brother weak in the faith with patience and gentleness.
TheEnd And who taught you that about the scriptures? Man or The scriptures, which God inspired? I disagree. The spiritual understand spiritual truths, we don’t each individually need to to have revelation-God has gifted the church to be one body and the scriptures are clear to the person God has revived. And now you have me confused with your position on the relationship between old covenant institutions and new covenant life. Because the same law that commands the dietary laws speaks about the Passover. Either they both find there fulfillment in Christ or neither. I hold to what all the New Testament writers witness to is that the entire law and all of its ordinances are indeed fulfilled in Him & so many misunderstand the implications of that, likewise for a lack of understanding the scriptures plain sense fall to the wayside. Jesus himself told the Pharisees they were in error because they did not “understand the scriptures” not because they had failed to have some spiritual revelation but they were driven by their deceitful desires. Bless you brother
"One God, three forms" That, my friend, is the ancient heresy known as Sabellianism or Modalism, or more well known 'Oneness Pentecostals' Sabellianism is the belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three different modes or aspects (OR FORMS) of God, as opposed to a Trinitarian view of three distinct persons within the Godhead. Biblical Trinitarianism teaches there is 'One What' & 'Three Whos" - one Being of God consisting of three distinct Divine Persons sharing all of the attributes & characteristics of God - each Person being 100% God.
I cant speak to the trinity but I can tell you that is not what Oneness Pentecostals believe. We believe there is one God and his name is Jesus. Jesus give his disciples the Great Commission in Matthew 28, telling them to teach all nations and to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, and that name is Jesus, who was made both Lord and Christ. I have one name but at any given time i can function in a different role, whether it be a father to my children, a son to my mother and father or a brother to my younger siblings but my name never changes it remains the same. Throughout the scripture we see this with Jesus.
This teaching was good. It is important to encourage people and equip them to defend the faith. Notwithstanding, God is not a Trinity. He is one, and indivisible. Deut 6:4, 1Tim 3:16. God has manifested himself to humanity as Father, Son, and Spirit. These are roles God assumed. When Jesus said the "Father is greater than him" he spoke as a man and pointed out that in human flesh he is limited because he was also fully man with human limitations. Hence, Jesus was God having a human experience, and so humbled himself. When there was no arm to save, God's own arm brought salvation. How so? He (God) clothed himself in flesh to be that sinless sacrifice. This is why Jesus is the mediator between God and man because he was the bridge-- fully God and fully man. That one God who came to redeem His people from their sins. Our Emmanuel- God with us. To add, Jesus came so that people everywhere could hear the Gospel, to believe it, to repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38). Nowhere in scripture is anyone baptized in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit because the disciples knew that the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is Jesus. God's name is Jesus. Whatever we do in word or deed let us do all in the name of Jesus.
I believe the right question is since the je came to restore the right version, so the question is: From what version did you restored the new world traditions? If they ever have the bad luck to point at a specific version, then the next question is: why not just keep that authentic version instead of writing a new world? What is the point of writing new version while you just have to keep the authentic one??
Why is it so difficult for people to believe that God created us in His image? That image as a 3-part being of body, soul, spirit just as God is father, Son, Holy Spirit. Because we walk by faith.
It seems like, people have different interpretations of the bible and that's why I think there are so many religions. How to make sure that you're interpreting the bible correctly while bible studying? I
Hi BOLD TV, I'm very sorry for not viewing this video in the proper manner and therefore made statements though true but, under the circumstance does not apply to your work shop of apologetics. Great presentation !
Apologetics with Catholics, Hindus/ Sikhs, and Muslims are something that I gotta figure out because it’s very hard to witness to someone with an eastern mindset when Christianity is so dominated by the western, despite in its truth being a blend between both.
Jesus was never Michael . He was the word, creating in the beginning and have always existed. John 1:1 and the word WAS God. On the Jesus is God... There are scriptures in every book of the bible that reveal his Godhood. However Jesus said "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." John 14:9-11 Also Jesus was called EVERLASTING FATHER Isaiah 9:6 The bible interprets all its TRUE DOCTRINES in literally every line of scripture. The Holy Spirit hath breathed on the authors in total CONSISTENCY. "For unto which of the angels Said he at anytime, Thous art my Son" Heb 1:5
You should tell our people who we are by the bible! The promises and covenant is for us according to scriptures. I know you guys are doctrine over scripture though.
Trinity is a man made word .. and is not in the Bible.. And we shouldn't mentioned the word "Trinity" to them ... They would completely tune you out...
If God the Father is the Leader as you say and is the Initiator of Creation and has a Greater role, all your words, then clearly the Son is not equal in position to His Father. You may say he shares the same nature or same essence, but the Father is Greater even by your own words. And if Jesus is different from God the Father in any way at all, such as by not being the Leader, nor the Initiator or in having a lesser role by any means, then Christ cannot be said to be equal to God the Father. Jesus obeyed His Father, surrendered his will to the Father, he prayed to the Father and called the Father his God. The Father however never did any of these things towards His Son. I am not a Jehovah's witness, nor a Muslim, nor a Mormon. I am a Christian who believes that Jesus was the Messiah. I, like you all, am also a child of God our Father and feel very compelled to voice what He reveals to me, which is also what the scripture says. As Paul wrote, 'Blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

It's heartwarming to see young people interested in defending the faith.

TheEnd The scriptures are the means to knowing the will of God. If you have another means to it, then ofcourse I cannot comprehend you. It is also unbiblical not to handle the brother weak in the faith with patience and gentleness.
TheEnd And who taught you that about the scriptures? Man or The scriptures, which God inspired? I disagree. The spiritual understand spiritual truths, we don’t each individually need to to have revelation-God has gifted the church to be one body and the scriptures are clear to the person God has revived.
And now you have me confused with your position on the relationship between old covenant institutions and new covenant life. Because the same law that commands the dietary laws speaks about the Passover. Either they both find there fulfillment in Christ or neither. I hold to what all the New Testament writers witness to is that the entire law and all of its ordinances are indeed fulfilled in Him & so many misunderstand the implications of that, likewise for a lack of understanding the scriptures plain sense fall to the wayside.
Jesus himself told the Pharisees they were in error because they did not “understand the scriptures” not because they had failed to have some spiritual revelation but they were driven by their deceitful desires.
Bless you brother

Perfect
"One God, three forms" That, my friend, is the ancient heresy known as Sabellianism or Modalism, or more well known 'Oneness Pentecostals' Sabellianism is the belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three different modes or aspects (OR FORMS) of God, as opposed to a Trinitarian view of three distinct persons within the Godhead. Biblical Trinitarianism teaches there is 'One What' & 'Three Whos" - one Being of God consisting of three distinct Divine Persons sharing all of the attributes & characteristics of God - each Person being 100% God.
I cant speak to the trinity but I can tell you that is not what Oneness Pentecostals believe. We believe there is one God and his name is Jesus. Jesus give his disciples the Great Commission in Matthew 28, telling them to teach all nations and to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, and that name is Jesus, who was made both Lord and Christ. I have one name but at any given time i can function in a different role, whether it be a father to my children, a son to my mother and father or a brother to my younger siblings but my name never changes it remains the same. Throughout the scripture we see this with Jesus.
@@jontelmurphy5996 all oneness pentecostals do is completely take scripture out of context and have the worst defense ever..
This teaching was good. It is important to encourage people and equip them to defend the faith. Notwithstanding, God is not a Trinity. He is one, and indivisible. Deut 6:4, 1Tim 3:16. God has manifested himself to humanity as Father, Son, and Spirit. These are roles God assumed. When Jesus said the "Father is greater than him" he spoke as a man and pointed out that in human flesh he is limited because he was also fully man with human limitations. Hence, Jesus was God having a human experience, and so humbled himself.
When there was no arm to save, God's own arm brought salvation. How so? He (God) clothed himself in flesh to be that sinless sacrifice. This is why Jesus is the mediator between God and man because he was the bridge-- fully God and fully man. That one God who came to redeem His people from their sins. Our Emmanuel- God with us.
To add, Jesus came so that people everywhere could hear the Gospel, to believe it, to repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38). Nowhere in scripture is anyone baptized in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit because the disciples knew that the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is Jesus. God's name is Jesus. Whatever we do in word or deed let us do all in the name of Jesus.
Can you clarify your statement about the Trinity. If we are soul, spirit & flesh, how then can we not believe in the triune GOD
This is awesome
Good stuff!!!
What are the best apologetic books to buy ?
I believe the right question is since the je came to restore the right version, so the question is: From what version did you restored the new world traditions?
If they ever have the bad luck to point at a specific version, then the next question is: why not just keep that authentic version instead of writing a new world? What is the point of writing new version while you just have to keep the authentic one??
Why is it so difficult for people to believe that God created us in His image? That image as a 3-part being of body, soul, spirit just as God is father, Son, Holy Spirit. Because we walk by faith.
Dope!
It seems like, people have different interpretations of the bible and that's why I think there are so many religions. How to make sure that you're interpreting the bible correctly while bible studying? I
Great video!

Is looking at the holy trinity as GODs three ways of approaching us modalism?
Where is his conference for 2024?
This is good
John 10:30 can this be used as an argument?
I and my father are one
God spoke the Word and creation was formed. Jesus is the Word in John 1:3. He is the master builder of all creation. Col 1:16
Which ungodly person is disliking this?
The Jacobs either JW or BHI
the ones we need to pray for...
Hi BOLD TV, I'm very sorry for not viewing this video in the proper manner and therefore made statements though true but, under the circumstance does not apply to your work shop of apologetics. Great presentation !
the true doctrine
Did anyone else catch that? 1:05:13
Apologetics with Catholics, Hindus/ Sikhs, and Muslims are something that I gotta figure out because it’s very hard to witness to someone with an eastern mindset when Christianity is so dominated by the western, despite in its truth being a blend between both.
If you believe in the Trinity you’re outta your mind!
Great job !!!!! You and your wife are doing a great work for the Kingdom 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
1 Peter 3:15,16
Jesus was never Michael . He was the word, creating in the beginning and have always existed. John 1:1 and the word WAS God. On the Jesus is God... There are scriptures in every book of the bible that reveal his Godhood. However Jesus said "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." John 14:9-11 Also Jesus was called EVERLASTING FATHER Isaiah 9:6 The bible interprets all its TRUE DOCTRINES in literally every line of scripture. The Holy Spirit hath breathed on the authors in total CONSISTENCY. "For unto which of the angels Said he at anytime, Thous art my Son" Heb 1:5
You should tell our people who we are by the bible! The promises and covenant is for us according to scriptures. I know you guys are doctrine over scripture though.
Revelation not RevelationS - it was a revelation given by the Father to the Son Who gave it to John

Sicarii is the name of a Camp. Ahlazar Ban Lawya aka the Guerrilla Hebrew is the leader .
Trinity is a man made word .. and is not in the Bible..
And we shouldn't mentioned the word "Trinity" to them ... They would completely tune you out...
If God the Father is the Leader as you say and is the Initiator of Creation and has a Greater role, all your words, then clearly the Son is not equal in position to His Father. You may say he shares the same nature or same essence, but the Father is Greater even by your own words. And if Jesus is different from God the Father in any way at all, such as by not being the Leader, nor the Initiator or in having a lesser role by any means, then Christ cannot be said to be equal to God the Father. Jesus obeyed His Father, surrendered his will to the Father, he prayed to the Father and called the Father his God. The Father however never did any of these things towards His Son. I am not a Jehovah's witness, nor a Muslim, nor a Mormon. I am a Christian who believes that Jesus was the Messiah. I, like you all, am also a child of God our Father and feel very compelled to voice what He reveals to me, which is also what the scripture says. As Paul wrote, 'Blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
You lost me at the Trinity. It's not biblical. Bible interprets Bible. No such scriptures supporting the Trinity. If so please support it.
genesis 1:26. the word trinity is not in the bible, but the doctrine is
