There are six terms in the New Testament that refer to this bishop. Sometimes he’s referred to as an elder Sometimes he’s referred to as bishop Sometimes he’s referred to a overseer Sometimes he’s referred to prespretry Sometimes he’s referred to a shepard Sometimes he’s referred to as pastor. We still got lots of people that will not separate and isolate their minds from this new doctrine, that we have to have “thee bishop” or, “thee pastor.” You can’t have a church with just one elder in it. But a multiplicity! The first digression of the early church organization was, the elevation of one elder as “thee bishop.” After a while, this man was not satisfied with that local congregation. In other words, they had other groups of people in that same city, and he reached out “just like any dictator” and he swallowed up another one. And the first thing you know, this entire city in which it was located, “A city like Jerusalem, or a city like Antioch, or a city like Ephesus, or a city like Atlanta. All of them recognized this bishop now, “not as a bishop of a local congregation” but as “thee bishop” of their city, of their metropolitan area. And in front of this, they eliminated the word “thee” and they put “metropolitan bishop.” This has not been dispelled in the catholic church today. And the sectarians have the very samething. “We have to have “thee pastor.”
The TRIUNE GOD has existed for eternity. “In union and unison with HIMSELF in the GODHEAD.” GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. “IN PERFECT UNITY, AND PERFECT HARMONY.” The Son, “Eternally Begotten of the Father.” And the Spirit, Eternally preceeding with the Father and the Son …. make man in HIS image!
26:38 this fella says the apostles in the upper room is the record of the 1st case of conversion...he then says again at 37:43 Peter's preaching in Acts 2 is the 1st case of conversion. Which is it? Not surprised hearing a Church of Christ use double speak and mislead. Furthermore God's method of conversion has never changed- it's always been by grace through faith, and not of ourselves. It has nothing to do with OUR abilities or actions (i.e. repentance and baptism) while in an un-converted/un-regenerative state. HE initiates and creates those things necessary for conversion in us (a faithful and repentant heart) all at one moment and begets those He calls. THAT is biblical grace. Acts 11:18 God grants repentance, Philippians 1:29 God grants belief. Awful misleading message this is
Judewon 3 this message Brother Heyward delivers is the gospel. It is not misleading. It expounds on the faith of which you speak about and with which no believer disagrees.
@@michaelchambers9837 regarding the first point I brought up I'm sure viewers would like to know how there are two 1st cases of conversion. Deceptive and misleading
Judewon 3 I understand. I’ll have to go back to see your points in Brother Heyward’s presentation that you’re saying is misleading. But, I don’t think the Bible is misleading. I again ask you, how does a Christian show their belief? As you know, the Bible says faith without works is dead. The Bible says cant we see we are justified by works and NOT by faith ALONE. The Bible says we must be hearers and Do-ers of his word. The Bible says Jesus is the source of salvation for all who obey Him. Jesus says in the Bible that if we love him, to keep his commandments. And we are his friends if we keep his commandments. Important to note, belief is a work according to the Bible. But the Bible says it’s a work God. If belief is a work of God that we’re commanded to do to be saved, then why wouldn’t hearing, repentance, confession and baptism be works of God that we are also commanded to do to be saved? That will never mean we’re deserving of that grace you spoke about. NEVER. You’re so right about that. But if baptism is what some people are hung up on, Jesus himself says unless a man is born of water and the spirit that he will not enter the kingdom of God. Jesus says he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. It also says baptism puts us into Christ. And the Bible says in Christ is where salvation is. This (baptism) and the other aforementioned acts are God’s designed works for which he has commanded people. If they do not do these things, are they believers in God’s eyes? Idk. Moses didn’t see the promised land because he disobeyed God, but God said it was because he did not BELIEVE. But of course Moses knew and believed God was who he said he was, right? The Bible says faith and actions should go hand in hand. If not, it’s a dead faith. Keeping God’s commands of us are necessary, for the Bible says even the demons believe. So then what separates followers of God from demons who also believe? It’s our faith in ACTion.
@@michaelchambers9837 it's critical to first get to the bottom of why there are statements defining two separate 1st cases of conversion. I'd like to focus on that and politely ask you to review the time stamps which I noted where the statements occur - repeatedly if necessary and share your thoughts
Great sermon preacher ❤
Greatest sermon ever preached. Amen!
Praise God
Good morning 'Amen and Amen
The great thing about facts, “in the case of the resurrection and the ascension of Christ” are:
“THEY’RE PROVEN”

The TRIUNE GOD has existed for eternity. “In union and unison with HIMSELF in the GODHEAD.”
GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
“IN PERFECT UNITY, AND PERFECT HARMONY.”
The Son, “Eternally Begotten of the Father.” And the Spirit, Eternally preceeding with the Father and the Son …. make man in HIS image!
The Bible is the ultimate court of appeal, and it’s the ultimate standard of authority!
“THIS LESSON IS PRECISE”
