- As always, Yankee Arnold's teaching is awesome. He truly has a gift for teaching the simplicity that is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In this video he demonstrates the ways in which the works for salvation deceivers use pejorative terms like "Easy Believism" to complicate the gospel, to make it difficult to believe, and ultimately to add a requirement of works as proof of genuine faith.
This sermon brings tears to my eyes! How wonderful God's grace is! 💖💖💖
Praise the LORD. absolutely outstanding. wonderfully awesome 👏. God bless. Agape love ❤️.
Thank God for giving us Yankee Arnold may he live many more years and preach this message till Jesus returns.
Wonderful news
Funny how "easy believism" is pretty hard to believe. So many people say it's too easy to be true and too easy to believe, yet nobody believes it. They mockingly label it as "easy believism" and "cheap" or "free" grace to make it sound ugly and unappealing. Yes, grace is free, but it sure didn't come free. It was paid for with a very high price, higher than we can fathom. Faith alone in Christ alone is the narrow gate. Strive to enter the narrow gate, because there's only one way in and it's very narrow
And that way is through Jesus Christ! We cannot come up like a thief or a robber, trusting in ourselves to be the Savior! I do better with sin since I came out of legalism bc I'm growing in grace, but either way I couldn't ever earn salvation. That's a gift from Christ. I try to do my best so as to be an example to others and not to hinder my brother, not for salvation! I am far from what ppl would call "acceptable" but God has brought me far from the drug addict I use to be! He is amazing
Yep to think you need to add to it is what cheapens it.
@@LouLouLion YOU get it.
Jay Morris amen!!!
This is what the Apostle Jude calls it Jude1:4
For certain individuals whose CONDEMNATION was written about long ago HAVE SECRETLY SLIPPED IN among you. They are UNGODLY PEOPLE, WHO PERVERT THE GRACE of our God into a LICENSE FOR IMMORALITY and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
This is the clearest and most vivid explanation of God's word. I salute this Pastor
it is wrong.
@@wendymitchell8245 You're wrong, but I still want to hear why you believe the way you do so I can help correct your lies.
@@alexzmidzinski6468 I do not lie as I am a Christian . Study 1 JOHN VERY CAREFULLY. It would take a book to answer that.
@@wendymitchell8245 You denied being saved and sealed by the holy spirit the moment you believe you cannot serve the lord without believing and faith in future hope.
@@alexzmidzinski6468 NO I DO NOT .I am saying some think they are Christians when they do not really take it seriously and repent and commit their lives to God. Then you are saved and sealed ,when you have really understood what you are doing .
Oh Yankee Arnold thank u for spreading this Amazing Gospel. We have been following Christ since the 90's but I really never knew Christ Until I heard the Real Truth! Thank You for the Truth!! It changed our lives! ❤ Christ 4 Ever!!!!!!!!!!!
Ray Comfort assures me that I cannot possibly be saved as my works are not as good as his. I find Mr. Comfort provides no comfort at all and I can tell you his preaching does not spur me on to obedience in Christ but to just give up because I have no idea how to make myself sinless.
he just spurs people onto legalism and self-righteousness. Using the law is good in evangelism but then saying you have to turn from all your sins to be saved is wrong.
@@johnfaherty8662 You are exactly right. Salvation is a free gift from God given to those who choose to put their faith in Jesus's finished work on the cross. I find that these turn from your sins preachers really don't exhort me to more obedience but rather to despondency because I know for sure I still have sin in my life , regardless of how often I turn from sin or how hard I try to not sin. I find that the preaching of the grace of God toward those of us who believe leads me to not desire sin so much, but I know I still sin.
It's like when you were a kid you didn't have money for all the toys and candy you thought you wanted but ow that you are an adult you have the money for all the toys and candy you ever wanted when you were a kid but now you don't want any of it even though you are free and able to have it. Law vs. Grace is something like that. I just remember to thank God every day for the sacrifice of His Son Jesus who made salvation possible even though I don't really understand it all that well. But God is good and I have in Him the trust of a child.
That is why we call him Ray Discomfort!
Thank you pastor for the gospel message you preach. For a long time now I have thought about this and I truly believe in the free gift of God's grace.
I see IT and understand IT. Love you Ralph yankee. God bless you. Yes Grace alone faith alone Christ alone is the true gospel Jesus Christ is god in flesh son of god the perfekt Lamb of god he did paid for All my sins on the cross and rose again at the third Day i do believe and trust Jesus Christ as my only Hope of going to heaven
I love this guy!
paul washer and anyone with a condemning message is self righteous!!!! God never wants a person to come to Him out of fear but out of that person knowing how much God loves them inspight of all their failures!!! Its all about the Grace of God!!! this preacher is preaching truth!!! 😀

Amen!!
ITS EASY .AMEN JESUS SAID MY YOKE IS EASY
the reason the easy believism message gets attacked is because satan cannot bring condemnation,shame, and guilt upon the believer and so uses selfrighteous believers to attack the message, our own people attacking the Truth of God!!!!
That's right... except they are not our people, they are the ones who went out but were not of us. They are the Judaizers in Galatia bringing in a different gospel, an accursed gospel from accursed unsaved people.
PETER PREACHED THE FIRST SERMON ,- REPENT. DO YOU THINK HE WAS WRONG ?
@@wendymitchell8245 Repent means to change from unbelief to belief... Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life... (Think he was wrong?) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise: (Is a free gift foolish to the world... yes?)
@@rock4401repent means to repent from sin as even Satan believes in the existence of God .
@@wendymitchell8245 Believing on the existence of God is not what is meant by believing on Jesus for salvation. Believing on Jesus for salvation means that you know you are sinful and that NOTHING you could do would pay for that sin but believing that what Jesus did by dying on the cross and raising again is the ONLY way to eternal life. believing on Jesus means that you believe His sacrifice was and is sufficient. Tell me what you think needs to be added to the sacrifice Jesus made to make it acceptable to God the Father?
God bless this pastor
God Bless you brother for being a worker in the feild
Some people like to complicate everything
Dr Arnold: I watch this video on easy believism and chuckled at a lot you had to say.
Like the part where you said: they weren't really ready for Yankee. Lol 😃
Brother with all due respect who is ever ready for Yankee, 😃.
God bless brother love you & your ministry God has blessed you with.
I also watch Jesse Martinez I believe is a pastor from your church?
I love his ministry as well, very knowledgeable in the Word as well
Take care brother, may you continue to win many Souls to Christ.
By the way, I love & Jesse's wallet presentation!
I think I am gonna use it as well.

Difficult believism is another. This verse wrecks a lot of dissertations taken from James; John 6: 28, 29 You are good!
Just believing is the hardest thing you will ever do. Anybody who thinks it is has never done it.
Anybody who thinks what is?
THANK YOU doe this sermon.
I think about that letter from an INDEPENDENT BAPTIST PASTOR, and then read some of the comments here, and all I can think about is how close we are to the rapture.
We’ve definitely been seeing the falling away in recent times. People will wish they hadn’t over-complicated the free gift of salvation when those around them go missing all of the sudden. Then, for sure, there won’t be anything “easy” on the road ahead!
I know this video is like 8 years old, but wanted to take a second to comment, nonetheless.
Always enjoy your sermons, Brother Yankee!
Yankee Arnold is exactly what the Apostle Jude warned us about.
Jude 1:4
For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you They are ungodly people who pervert the grace of God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
@@2Chronicles714_
Are you perfect? Don’t you still slip back into sin and bad habits? If you’re honest you would have to say yes. We are all still sinners. He who says he has no sin is a LIAR. It’s so easy to believe on Jesus Christ for salvation yet so many people make it so hard and complicated. People who think it’s “easy believeism” are the ones who have to work for their salvation and most likely aren’t saved because they think they have to help God out by being good and not sinning. Pharisees.
@TAYLOR-nc4uw Yankee Arnold teaches you can live like a devil and still go to heaven.
That's satanic.
Any one who has read even the letters from John would immediately realize Yankee teaches a perverted Grace message.
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you fail to meet the test!"
If a work of God does not continue than its not a work of God.
If you fall short of the test repent and believe.
Cry out to God for mercy until a work is done
To test yourself to see if you're a real Christian read 1John.
1John 3:3-10 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
4Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
1 John 1:5-7
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all 6If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
What does it mean to walk in darkness? A style of life.If we say we are a Christian and our lifestyle contradicts everything God has told us about Himself and His will we are a liar.
"Easy believism" IS the gospel.
The Apostle Jude and Paul call it Perverted Grace.
Jude 1:4
For CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS WHOSE CONDEMNATION was written about long ago have SECRETLY SLIPPED IN among you. THEY ARE ungodly people, who PERVERT THE GRACE of our God
into a LICENSE FOR IMMORALITY and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
Galatians1:6-8
I am astonished THAT YOU ARE SO QUICKLY DESERTING the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are TURNING TO A DIFFERENT GOSPEL WHICH IS REALLY NO GOSPEL AT ALL. Evidently some people are THROWING YOU INTO CONFUSION and ARE TRYING TO PERVERT THE GOSPEL OF Christ. But even IF WE OR AN ANGEL from heaven SHOULD PREACH A GOSPEL OTHER THAN THE ONE WE PREACHED to you, LET THEM BE UNDER GOD ’s CURSE.
2 Peter 2:1-3
there were also FALSE PROPHETS among the people, JUST AS THERE WILL BE FALSE TEACHERS among you. THEY WILL SECRETLY INTRODUCE DESTRUCTIVE HERESIES, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them BRINGING SWIFT DESTRUCTION ON THEMSELVES.2 MANY WILL FOLLOW THEIR DEPRAVED CONDUCT and WILL BRING TB)way of truth into disrepute. 3In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, a putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment
Yankee Arnold is such a great preacher of the word and his videos dont get the thousands upon thousands of likes or views the paul washers do or the john mcarthurs do.
Paul Washer feeds the ego and is a young, handsome man that uses emotion to deceive people. That junk is always popular. And the teaching of the word is hated by most people. Talking about teaching word is always appreciated but the actual teaching of the word is another matter.
Steve Rosberg, maybe that’s evidence that he’s preaching the true word. The truth isn’t popular. Lies are though.
Just food for thought.
Steve, PEOPLE WANT AN EASY GOSPEL , not pick up your cross and follow me.
Paul Washer could make a lot of money selling Washer Whips that we could use to whip our flesh into submission, or at least show how sorry we are for being the worthless pieces of garbage we are.
dan stone 🤣
Amen!
Why would people want "Hard Believism"?
Calvinists
Legalistic teaching
Pride
Amen
Jesus said I give you another commandment love your neighbor as yourself who is my neighbor everybody you meet good or bad you might not like some of your neighbors love them be kind to them you don't know what's going on inside their heads unless you become as a little child you will not enter the Gates of Heaven
Fear of not measuring up to Gods unrevealed measure of "true repentence" is a sure fire money maker for modern day Pharisees who wish to live in big houses and have their names on big books.
Can you do a video that addresses Romans 10:8-13, more specifically Romans 10:13. Or 2Corinthians 7:9-11 about godly sorrow.
i want to believe it god, but it doenst work, please help me
What's stopping you? I know this reply is eleven months down the line but if I can help I'd like to.
This is the real gospel!
The narrow way (Sanctification)is the proof that you have entered the small gate (Justification)and you can be sure of ending up with Eternal Life(Glorification)
correct.
I think the narrow way is christ alone for salvation and all the false ways are the broad way that leads to destruction.
The narrow way is faith alone in Christ for the promise of eternal life. The broad way is anything else.
Jesus is the gate. You can only enter eternal life through Him.
Truest statement in the comments section Mr. Cosmos.
It's really disturbing to hear you have to turn from sin to be saved. How can someone who is not saved, and doesn't have the Holy Spirit, turn from their sin? You can't understand the Bible if you do not have the Holy Spirit to teach and guide you. There's no changing until you believe in the Lord Jesus. He's the gift of God. All we can do is receive Him. Repentance is not a change of actions, it's a change of mind: you realize you are a sinner, you're on your way to hell because you're a sinner; in other words, it's true judgment of yourself before God: you agree with God: yes, I understand that I am a sinner in need of the Savior: Jesus Christ. There's no works, but there is a true change of mind. After salvation, you can start reading the Bible, going to church and you can understand what the Bible says, and what is being taught in church, because you are now saved and have the Holy Spirit. Then your life will start to change and you will start doing works, but not for salvation, because you settled that when you believed. The people that tell you you where never saved because you didn't change your life or do some sort of works will confuse you and keep you from growing. They create a seesaw effect of "I'm saved" one day, but "I'm not doing 'the works,' I didn't have a 'change of life' when I got saved," conclusion: I'm not saved, the next day. I was a victim of this type of double talk for years. If you're a Christian, read your Bible, and only listen to preachers who teach a clear, simple gospel message.
Turb O Donkey amen! Right on.
Amen! After you are saved by change of mind repentance and belief you should read your bible more and fix up your life but it is not required to get saved or stay saved. I've found out that from not reading my bible after I was saved legalistic people and lordship salvationist would crush me in arguments and make me doubt because I wasn't living right and studying the word enough but now I have regained assurance of my salvation. Ralph Yankee Arnold has helped me with that and I am very thankful. God bless!
Turb O Donkey Yeah, if we had to turn from sin To Be saved, we wouldn’t need Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice.
Amen brother! The price of sin to the believer is high, and it’s within ourselves. Being born again in the word, takes the fun out of sinning for this believer. Praise Jesus!
Until you repent of sin you do not get the Holy Spirit.
He will not reside in an unrepentant sinner.
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT of the HOLY GHOST.
Acts 5:32
32And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Romans 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Without repentance you will not have the Holy Ghost dwelling in you.
God came in the world sacrifice his self for us paid for it all do you just put that big stamp of approval on their paid in full if you believe in me I will make mistakes hey if I got to get on my knees a thousand times a day I will
I think we got a lot of Chiefs in the world God's looking for Indians children
People who don't like easy believeism probably are not saved!
Jesus said Repent first then Believe.
Mark 1:15. And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Matthew 4:17
From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Luke 15:7
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Luke 5:32
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Luke24:47 And repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Jesus never said Trust in Him for the forgiveness of sins.
Believe and trust are really the same thing.
Yes, that’s a pen. Whether it’s “working” or “non-working” it’s still a pen.
Hiccups! 😂.
Believing is something that continues. A person who is being saved is a person who is living by faith.
A person is saved eternally THE MOMENT they place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Sanctification is an ongoing process, not salvation. Salvation is a one time thing at a certain moment of a person’s life.
@@gracealone89 And if they were born again, then there would be evidence of it being so. If they weren't born again, there would also be evidence of it being so.
@@Sam-xs3fv The question is.. what kinds of evidence does a person need to have to prove that they’re saved? Not only what kind, but how much evidence do they need? Can you answer these questions?
@@gracealone89 The question you should ask instead is what actually happens to someone when they are born again? Would it be normal for someone to be born again, having a new nature, having a new spirit, being dead to sin and alive to God, being regenerated and renewed, being filled with the Holy Spirit, being indwelt by Christ, and see no changes?
@@Sam-xs3fv The believer still has two natures. You have to make a choice to walk in the spirit because your natural way of living is in the flesh.
Sometimes I think a lot of the pastures in the preachers or just trying to entertain people turning religion into big business lower Jets billion dollar homes big businesses you know what I mean preachers making more money than other preachers
U can be blind for 50 years Ralph .. 🤔👀
Rustystevens Lee yep and thankfully he’s not.
@Delta Charlie
He's a grace perverter false teacher that scripture warns about.
There's my two cents worth
JACOB BECOMES ISRAEL TIME IS SHORT ,.IT IS TIME TO REPENT AND BECOME A TRUE BELIEVER AS PETER PREACHED TO YOU ACTS 2 :38 THEN PETER SAID TO THEM REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED .CHANGE YOUR MIND IS ABOUT SIN .NOT HOW YOU ARE SAVED .
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN CONTINUING IN SIN AND SLIPPING UP AND COMMITTING A SIN .GAL. 5 19- 21 .V21 THEY WHICH DO THESE THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Wendy Mitchell also might want to check out the difference between “inheriting the Kingdom” verses “entering it”.
Yes, words mean things.
Just like repentance means something other than what has been eisegeted into it by many pastors to mean in order to manipulate their congregants.
Imagine that.
You are to read some lawyers letters talk about confusion God is no author of confusion neither is Jesus believe in me you shall live forever you won't die
I agree we are saved by the grace of God didn't earn it. The problem is osas teaching. Say a gay man gets saved and doesn't live that lifestyle any more then couple years later he goes back to his old ways living gay lifestyle again he dies in that lifestyle. According to osas he goes to heaven. According to the Bible no homosexual will enter heaven. Not picking on homosexual was just an example could have been any practicing sin lifestyle. That's the problem with osas it is deception
In that very same passage you reference, it also says no liar will go to heaven either. Therefore, since lying, imo, is common to all people before and after we are saved, then no one is possible to be saved.
We must therefore put those passages into context. In at least one of those passages, the author is talking about the judges and juries in Corinth, not a test of salvation.
@@JacobBecomesIsrael we are saved by the grace of God didn't earn it that's true. That simply means God gave us a way for salvation. Jesus Christ is the only way for salvation. Jesus is the grace of God. We are to pick up our cross and follow Jesus daily. If someone chooses not to continue to follow Jesus then they walk away from grace. Not saying if you follow Jesus and sin you lose your salvation we have Jesus for that also. Just saying it's possible to forfit your salvation. We have free will even after saved. Jesus is the grace of God the only way to the father.
James Miller Please show where it says you can willingly lose your own salvation. Thanks.
People always take GAY or MURDERER as examples because they think they better than them. No , you're also a filthy sinner.
The devil and demand believe does that mean their going to heaven? No because they will not repent. What does it mean to repent? Turn from your sins and obey that's only way to receive the spirit of God and if you don't have the spirit then you are not his. So there is more to being born again than just believe but that is the beginning because if you don't believe you won't repent or obey. You only preach part truth sorry
Where are you going when you die? How do you know?
@@cfoles1 I agree we are saved by the grace of God nothing we can do to earn that. The problem is osas teaches you can't lose your salvation for any reason. No one can take it from you and you won't lose it if you slip up and sin after saved just repent have Jesus for that also. The problem is when someone that is saved chooses not to follow Jesus and dies in that condition doesn't repent they are doomed. Even the angles have free will and the ones that chose to follow Satan are doomed. Not saying everyone that is saved lose their salvation just that it's possible your choice if you follow Jesus or not
@@cfoles1 the problem with easy believism Hyper-Grace teaching is they all teach osas. They don't teach you have to repent turn from your sin. That's what Jesus meant when he said many times go and sin more. The preacher here is teaching osas he said if a person kills themselve still going to heaven. Killing is murder and if you kill yourself you can't repent so you die a murderer according to the Bible no murderer will enter heaven. They do teach part truth we are saved by the grace of God didn't earn it but do have to repent turn from your sin. That's why it's so easy to be deceived by their teaching it's part truth
James Miller Please tell me what sins you need to repent from to be saved. Then secondly, how’s that working out for you? Romans 4:5, Titus 3:5 for starters. Please get back to me. Lordship and other false salvation messages will be challenged by me and others on this site since many of us used to live under that heresy. Thanks.
Delta Charlie it doesn’t work for him, bc he has to keep himself seaved..🙈
Apostate
Anyone catch what he said at 3:35, "When I want someone to get saved I just tell them what they need to do to get saved." That's works. That's the very definition of works. Then he'll throw a fit saying that Reformed preachers are the ones teaching works. Ralph isn't dumb, just very deceptive. Beware friends, this teaching would strip the Gospel of all its power and leave you placing your faith in a magic spell you recite. Repent and believe.
David Broome nope. Romans 4:5 is clear that placing your trust in Christ is not a work. Pastor Arnold is an amazing preacher that just preaches the clear gospel, which is how it’s meant to be; clear.
David Broome you’re stuck on semantics-YOU are the deceptive one. Your gospel requires “work” too: “repent and believe”.
As if that’s any different? Do you know what repent means?
It’s a change of mind. It’s the other side of the same coin as belief. You simply change your mind from not believing to believing on Christ.
Simple.
Tell me how that’s a work.
@@awakeandfearless4143 Plain and simple, the difference between Christianity and Easy Believism is that Easy Believists deny that God actually regenerates a person. Therefore the Easy Believists must invent doctrines such as the "two natures", or "all you have to do is believe he did it for you" to explain away all the clearly unconverted individuals who the pastors will claim to have "led to the Lord." Honestly, it's tiresome to listen to Easy Believists trying to support their positions by harping on Eph 2 v 8-9 but never touching the rest of chapter 2 wherein Paul tells us very plainly that the converted believer is created for good works. I hear what you're saying, but we're talking about two different religions. Best regards.
David Broome context is key. There are three parts to salvation: past= justification, present = sanctification and future = glorification. Justification is completed, and gets you into heaven-you can’t lose that. Sanctification is a process and does not get you to heaven but eaten you rewards at the Bema seat of Christ. Glorification happens-well, when we get glorified at the rapture. Context is key. Often times people conflate scripture that is referring to justification with those that are describing the process of sanctification or holy living. When you clear up the confounding and rightly divide scripture it all becomes crystal clear and no contradictions:)
John 6 28-29
28 Then they asked him, “What must we DO to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
Amen Brother!
Arnold is a false teacher Deinying Gods power .
@@lesliedodds4011 How so? Please explain.
@@danstone8783 Thet deny the power of GOD thats why they wont repent but live in wilful sin from such turn away its another gospel .
@@lesliedodds4011 Here is the power of God because i don't think you understand...God is able to call that which is not righteous--let's say me--righteous because I believe on Hts Son which His word says is the only way to salvation. Only the righteous, that is sinless, will enter heaven. Do you consider yourself to be sinless? I mean not one sin at all in your life anymore staring right now. We all know that even one sin is enough to condemn us to hell right? If you think the power of God is to make this flesh sinless, perfect or perfectible, then you do not understand at all what is being saved. You do not understand what the NEW MAN Paul taught of is. Doesn't it surprise you that Paul called himself, even late in life, chief of sinners? If Paul didn't make it to heaven then I have no chance I can tell you and probably not you as well. THIS is the power of God----that we believe on the ONE He sent --Jesus the Christ--not on our own trying and self denial and all that. Salvation is by faith, by accepting the free gift, the work of Jesus that we never could do. Jesus asked the Father the night before His crucifixion if there was any other way, that He might not have to drink from the cup of death, but the Father allowed His only begotten Son to die because there was no other way. To think you can earn the righteousness required to enter heaven is to deny the sacrifice of Jesus. This is what we are talking about here.
Now if you wish to have a discussion of growing in grace and conforming to the likeness of Christ then we can talk about effort and self denial and all that. But that is not for salvation but for Kingdom rewards.
@@danstone8783 Those who wont repent arnt saved indeed
