Dr. Ralph "Yankee" Arnold, Dr. Curtis Hutson, Dr. Hank Lindstrom, Pastor John Ricci, Dr. Peter Ruckman, and Dr. Jack Hyles have to be some of the greatest evangelists of our time, communicating clearly the simple message of the gospel of faith alone in Christ alone. The power of salvation to all that would believe. Praise God.
I saw pastor Yankee Arnold with his wife Betty. Did anyone else see them? Ephesians 2:8-9 - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way. Your good works will not get you to Heaven. You need to believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, it's the only gospel that saves lost souls. Please get saved, time is running out!
Ephesians 2:8-9 Probably the most misunderstood pair of verses in the Bible. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9not by works, so that no one can boast. James says it perfectly. James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. Faith must have action (evidence) behind it or it is meaninglessThat is why Jesus and Paul say repent of sin first which is evidence that one has Faith to believe. Mark 1:15 Acts 20:21,Acts 26:20. We are saved by His Precious Grace through evidence of Faith. Ephesians 2:9 Our works (Outside of Christ) we've done regardless of how noble or much are as filthy rags in God's eyes. However this is where many go wrong, we absolutely are to do works (bear fruit) in His name. John 15:1-6 Matthew 10:8 Matthew 28:19 John 14:12 And More. The next verse is almost always left out brings up doing works in Christ. Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. So if you haven't shown evidence of faith by first repenting of sin you are not a believer in God's eyes. We are saved by grace through repentance which is the consequence of Faith.
Wrong. Just another ear-tickling, Kingdom-vandalizing false teacher who would not have known the Holy Ghost from Casper the Friendly Ghost, and who would give *ANYTHING* for a drink of water right now. 😨
In my hand no price I bring Simply to the cross I cling My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus name On Christ the solid rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. Amen
Richard Bealle Yes sir my brother, praise His wonderful name forever, and I got me my call to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ Jesus back in July of last year as well, been going bible college since, you've got to learn to live by faith I tell you what, God bless you now.
I'm excited about your call to preach. I'll pray for your time in Bible college. I'll also pray that many will be saved and encouraged through your ministry. Stay close to God so He can use you in a mighty way.
You STILL got to do works . Not for salvation , but to spread the word of God , your not saved and always saved . You can NOT ABIDE on the branch . Hebrews 6 says there are those who tasted salvation and left . Departed . Book of revelation says .. you’ve left your first love / JESUS . Never leave Jesus .. never leave the Blood . Power in the Blood and Holy Ghost Power
I love this clip. Not only for the biblical truth that is preached, but because of th reaction from the men hearing God's truth. What I wouldn't give to hear men cheer the truths of God hen they hear it.
Since we can't earn salvation, it was made simple for us by the finished work of Christ on the cross But many think it's too simple, and want to add something to it I find that really sad
I was physically born of my mother by no works of me other then to take my first breath of air. But I absolutely have to work/obey/yield to have a loving fellowship with my mother. It seems to me that God in all his wisdom even made our physically life to be a clear example of our spiritual life..but so sad how many people still want to make it muddy and confusing. Life is free. Fellowship cost you. Eternal life is free by faith in Jesus. Fellowship with Jesus will cost you.
They believe in salvation by grace alone, but you’re expected to live, act, and think a certain way unless you want them to think you weren’t saved in the first place or at least in compromise. A favorite word with IFB-ers.
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS LORD THY GOD YOUR WILL BE DONE FOREVER AND EVER PRAISE BE AND ALL GLORY AND ESTEEM TO THE GOD OF ISRAEL GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB
I obey him: "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." John 6:40
Friend, grace, mercy, and forgiveness is the gift of God, not of man. Man's way is to cheat, steal, and lie, swear, destroy, murder and hate, its been that way from the start. God is love, forgiveness, mercy and his resources are unlimited. Don't hate the only one who can ever help you. Jesus loves you, and cares for you, and doesn't want to see any one perish. I pray God strengthens you, and the Holy Spirit shows you how you can experience real forgiveness and mercy, as only he can.
A person that has been forgiven by a just and merciful God by such a great and merciful God will not be looking for ways not to obey His Lord,he will be motivated by his regenerated heart to always please his Lord. will he succeed? no,of course not, but He will always be pressing on. Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus
Malachi 2: 17 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; ...
Repentance and believing are inseparable. It's clear here in these verses. The person that has trusted Christ as repented. And the person who repents trusts Christ.
Yes, I agree every believer needs to live the Christ like life. Notice in 1 John 2:6 it uses the word "ought" which means that we should. Paul's writings are stating what John had stated, that we ought to walk the way God wants us to walk, in our Saviour's Footsteps. But, many believers don't, sadly. However, when they don't, they will be chastened and corrected by God. If they don't have God's conviction, there is a problem and need to reexamine themselves to see if they are of the faith.
He won't always be pressing on. Not all the time, at the very least. When you sin, it is that time you are no longer pressing on the mark for the prize; because when you sin, you do it because you want to. Now there is a prize for serving Him and a reward, but many will suffer loss and will be saved as by fire. Paul pressed for that prize, and he will be rewarded for it. Every Christian needs to do what Paul did, but not every believer will.
Yes, God does put desires in the believer's life to serve the Lord, and I believe that at many cases, this is at the moment of salvation. See, God gives us a new heart and I don't know a believer that he suddenly gets saved and doesn't want to do anything for the Lord. God gives us new desires when we get saved. But, are those desires going to last? NO!, not at all. Why do we sin? We do it because we want to do it and choose to. Thus, there had to be a desire to do it in the first place.
My point is that you don't get better to get saved. You get saved to get better. You can't even get better until you are saved. Like going to a doctor, we go their because there is a problem and we expect the doctor to know it. We don't make ourselves better in order to go. Jesus is the Master Physician and knows our problems and we must go to Him and Him only with our problems and He will take care of them.
Romans 6 22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
7Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance
Revelation 3:15-16 15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
@rofyle Thank you, rofyle, for freely expressing your thoughts. My standing is on Christ's accomplishment, not mine ; His righteousness, not mine. Innumerable times the Word says 'whoever believes', 'whoever wills, let him come and drink ... freely ...'. God does not require the 'mighty faith' that you are referring to! Secondly, Christ would deny the ones who put their trust in the 'works' they have done. The ones who come to Him trusting Him, he'll never put away. God bless.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
@rofyle Here the preacher is just saying that there's nothing more required to be done to be saved than to trust Christ. One does not earning salvation by 'being wicked'. Having been saved through faith in Christ, you are not only free to pursue your fruitful, holy living, but the Word of God incites you to do so. You don't trust in your good works (in addition to trusting Christ) for salvation. One has certainly gone too far if he's trying to do even one thing to get saved.
"ought" has changed meaning since 1611 according to strongs concordence means to owe (pecuniarily); figuratively to be under obligation (ought, must, should); morally to fail in duty: - behove, be bound, (be) debt (-or), (be) due (-ty), be guilty (indebted), (must) need (-s), ought, owe, should.
He explained salvation very well. I know the only way Richard Bealle can get to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. I thank God that Christ saved me 6 years ago. (If you never have) I hope you will repent of your sin (see yourself as a sinner and confess it to God), believe the Gospel (the good news of Jesus), and call on Christ to forgive your sinful nature and save your soul. Only then will you be a Christian and a Child of God.
Yes, I know. I am not stupid. This is what I have been trying to say. Surrendering to the Lord is a work. Turning from sin is a work. It's all self-righteousness and you can fit just about anything in that category that we DO. But, when we get saved, we ought to work for our Lord because of what He has done for us. We love Him because He first loved us (1 John 4:10). We keep His commandments because we love Him (John 14:15). But, do we love Him all the time? NO!
@PatriciaBrigh If you think you've been justified because you cast your self-proclaimed sovereign trust His way, then you are ever bit the self-righteous Pharisee that Christ promised He would deny at the last day. "But Lord, Lord, did I put my trust in You? Was my trust not mighty enough to pin You to the floor and force You to acknowledge that my righteousness is able to save me?"
Lordship proponents counter this by saying, "well, one must be willing to submit to the Lordship of Christ." But this only begs the issue. Again we can ask, how willing? 80%, 90% or 100%? We still have the troubling question of "how much." One can never know for sure if they are submitting enough to Christ under the Lordship Salvation view. This eliminates all security for the believer, which is unthinkable in light of passages like Romans 8 and others.
Another question arises for you Lordship Salvationists as to how much Lordship is enough? What does it mean to submit to His Lordship? Is 75% submission enough to get one saved? Is 80% required? 66.6%? 100%? Who's to say? If 100 % submission is required for salvation, then there is no one who ever believed in God who is saved, not even David, Abraham or Noah.
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
when one gets saved the direction that he moves in will be different. he turns his back on desiring to sin and moves toward God. we all have our sin nature in us but if we are truly saved it becomes a struggle to sin because our desire will be to please the one who gave His life for us. we will slip at times. at some point the believer has to put down the baby bottle and pick up the knife and fork.
abide means to remain...Jesus said : John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Ephesians 5 1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Repentance is indeed a turn-around of the mind. It is a turn from destruction to Christ. It is a turn from Hell to Christ. When we get saved, it is because we want to and because we believe on the Lord. When we repent, it is like a U-Turn and we have when we take a u-turn sometimes it takes a LONG time for people to get back to where they need to be. And sometimes, the babe in Christ may never be at the point where he can eat meat yet.
James 2:19 says, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." This is what is called passive faith. There is a difference between passive faith and dynamic faith. Believing that there is a God won't take you to Heaven. 95% of America believes there is a God. But, to be saved, one must trust Christ as Saviour. The devils don't trust Christ as their Saviour, do they?
You're right, but this comment was not appropriate. He only spoke the truth in this video. Let us concentrate on the grace of God, rather than disputes over Calvinism.
your questions of how much is enough misrepresents the position. there is no amount of work that we can do that is enough. God puts the desire in our Hearts to obey Him by His grace,it is a gift. Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Matthew 9:13 ... for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
the question is not whether we are eternally secure...the question is if the person is truly saved in the first place...saying a magic formula without a corresponding repentance and regeneration is nothing but wishful thinking...to think that Jesus died so we can live in sin then go to heaven is heresy..
" Have you carried your cross DAILY???" no..sometimes i am a dismal failure and when i fail,i repent and ask for the strength of God's Spirit to help me the next time. absolutely i fail, it would be insane to think otherwise. there is some horrible fruit in my life and i repent of it every time i taste it. All praise to God for His Great Mercy. I have no righteousness but Jesus. what is it that you think i would want to deny?
James 2:14-26 (KJV)14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
DrRQuincy vs 18 “yea, a man may say..” James 2 in context is saying without our works our faith is dead in the sight of man. God looketh upon the heart of man, He knows if we trusted the Lord Jesus or not. James 2 is talking about being justified in the sight of man not God. Romans 4 faith alone is what saves! Look and live friend!
Revelation 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 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,
"What you are saying here implies that there is no such thing as a backsliding believer." not at all...what i am saying is that if a person shows no sign of being a new creature in Christ,they very well might not be. not everyone who says they are a Christian ,really is...if belief was the only criteria,the devil would be a Christian (James 2:19)
Romans 6 1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7For he that is dead is freed from sin. 11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Mark 1:14-16 (King James Version) 14Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
He quotes John Newton, who believed in all five of the doctrines of grace. Hutson DENIED all five in his booklet, "Why I Disagree with all Five Points of Calvinism." Go figure!
We ought to live holy after we are saved. But, I don't believe that every believer will. To make the holy life a requirement for salvation is works salvation and it is a dangerous road to be on. And I like that definition of repentance. The word "repent" in the Greek is metanoia, which means simply a "change of one's mind". That is all we are doing when we get saved. We are ONLY trusting Christ to take us to Heaven when we die. Anything added to that simple gospel is wicked.
repent: to think differently or afterwards, that is, reconsider (morally to feel compunction): - repent. Paul cover why we must to live Holy after we are saved in Roman 6 7 and 8 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
And let me answer in regards to the last paragraph I had mentioned. Have you carried your cross DAILY??? I'm sure there are times you fail in that area. We all do. And let me ask you this. Is there not SOME fruit in YOUR life that is unhealthy? I'm sure there is. Deny it all you want, but it is true. Everyone has this problem.
Romans 6 1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
My dear brother. Please let me suggest that you take a time out from human teachers and really dig into your Bible. Pray that God give you wisdom and understanding. We can all be wrong. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
they don't need to eat the meat all they have to do is surrender their life to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to do the life changing work through regeneration...if it takes along tim they might want to pray and ask God to save them.
@PatriciaBrigh Again, if you think you are saved because you did something deserving of it (like putting your trust in Christ, for example), then you are every bit the self-righteous Pharisee that Christ promises He would deny at the last day. Innumerable times the Word also says obey the Lord, but that doesn't mean everyone has the ability to obey Him. You assume an indicative where none exists. Whoever does not mean everybody. Whoever means whoever of those who can.
your argument ,young brother is with the Word of God. why would you want to toy with the wrath of God? Grace without Holiness mocks a Holy,Righteous God. " Anything added to that simple gospel is wicked. " is Paul wicked? was what he taught wicked? Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; note: "unto all them that obey him;"
we are saved by God's wonderful grace to do good works...we are not saved by good works Ephesians 2:8-10 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. IF is a big word. John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
No, I do not think He will overlook our sin. He most certainly will not (Hebrews 12:7-8). God hates it when we sin. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and ought not be defiled. And what do you mean by me toying around with God's judgment? He will deal with His children the way He needs to.
Christ died for our sins! Are you saved in the Lord Jesus Christ? Your good works doesn't pay for your bad works, you need a 'payment' for your sins and that is Jesus Christ. You cannot do it alone, Jesus Christ paid it all for you, the only thing you have to do is 'believe' in what He did for you on the cross of Calvary. Jesus Christ is the only cure for sin, so please believe in what He did, His death, burial and resurrection - found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, saves lost souls when you truly believe from your heart. Ephesians 1:13, saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way. Please get saved now, time is running out! Eph. 2:8-9 and Titus 3:5
"THE HOLINESS WALK IS AFTER WE ARE SAVED." i know that...you are repeating back to me what i say and claim it is something different...please put aside your presuppositions and read for content.. "No amount of works can earn us our salvation" that is an obvious truth...but you have to see that if there are no works,that persons "salvation" is suspect... James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Its mot works to repent of sin it's a command. Jesus first command when He started His earthly ministry was Repent Mark 1:15 The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Matthew 4:17 Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near. Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to REPENTANCE. Mark 2:17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the RIGHTEOUS but SINNERS to REPENTANCE. Mark 6:12 They [Disciples] went out and preached that people should REPENT. Luke 13:3 I tell you, no! But UNLESS YOU REPENT, YOU TOO WILL ALL PERISH. 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. Luke5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but SINNERS TO REPENTANCE.” Matthew 11:20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because THEY DID NOT REPENT. Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Mark4:12 So that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn (from sin) and be forgiven! Jesus's final command for us after the resurrection to preach Luke24:47 And REPENTANCE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS will be preached in His name to ALL NATIONS,beginning at Jerusalem. Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.” 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. Paul : Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now COMMANDETH ALL MEN every where to REPENT. Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH (believe) toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 26:18-20 18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. 20First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should REPENT AND TURN TO GOD (believe) and DEMONSTRATE THEIR REPENTANCE BY THEIR DEEDS. Nowhere in scripture does Jesus say Believe or Trust in Me for the forgiveness of sins.
Dr. Ralph "Yankee" Arnold, Dr. Curtis Hutson, Dr. Hank Lindstrom, Pastor John Ricci, Dr. Peter Ruckman, and Dr. Jack Hyles have to be some of the greatest evangelists of our time, communicating clearly the simple message of the gospel of faith alone in Christ alone. The power of salvation to all that would believe. Praise God.
The greatest salvation preacher in the last 50 years.
He's good but check out Pastor Steven Anderson.
I saw pastor Yankee Arnold with his wife Betty. Did anyone else see them?
Ephesians 2:8-9 - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way. Your good works will not get you to Heaven. You need to believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, it's the only gospel that saves lost souls.
Please get saved, time is running out!
Ephesians 2:8-9
Probably the most misunderstood pair of verses in the Bible.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9not by works, so that no one can boast.
James says it perfectly.
James 2:14
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
Faith must have action (evidence) behind it or it is meaninglessThat is why Jesus and Paul say repent of sin first which is evidence that one has Faith to believe.
Mark 1:15
Acts 20:21,Acts 26:20.
We are saved by His Precious Grace through evidence of Faith.
Ephesians 2:9
Our works (Outside of Christ) we've done regardless of how noble or much are as filthy rags in God's eyes. However this is where many go wrong, we absolutely are to do works (bear fruit) in His name.
John 15:1-6
Matthew 10:8
Matthew 28:19
John 14:12
And More.
The next verse is almost always left out brings up doing works in Christ.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
James 2:26
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
So if you haven't shown evidence of faith by first repenting of sin you are not a believer in God's eyes.
We are saved by grace through repentance which is the consequence of Faith.
@@BringItDown88 if it's the same Stefen Anderson I'm thinking about I'd be very careful.
Wrong. Just another ear-tickling, Kingdom-vandalizing false teacher who would not have known the Holy Ghost from Casper the Friendly Ghost, and who would give *ANYTHING* for a drink of water right now. 😨
In my hand no price I bring
Simply to the cross I cling
My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
but wholly lean on Jesus name
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
Amen
The Truth is wonderful and rare. It is all JESUS no works. JESUS saves religion condemns.
Well Amen, I got me a know-so Salvation, by the Grace of God.
Amen!!! It's wonderful to know that you are forgiven, saved, and on your way to God's Heaven. God bless you brother!!!
Richard Bealle
Yes sir my brother, praise His wonderful name forever, and I got me my call to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ Jesus back in July of last year as well, been going bible college since, you've got to learn to live by faith I tell you what, God bless you now.
I'm excited about your call to preach. I'll pray for your time in Bible college. I'll also pray that many will be saved and encouraged through your ministry. Stay close to God so He can use you in a mighty way.
Great preaching of the truth.
It's all about JESUS. One 100 percent, complete finished. EPH 2:8-9.
I wish I could get this whole sermon on video. I have it through just the audio but it’s really nice to see him preach as well.
For if righteousness had come by law then Christ be dead in vain.
You STILL got to do works . Not for salvation , but to spread the word of God , your not saved and always saved . You can NOT ABIDE on the branch . Hebrews 6 says there are those who tasted salvation and left . Departed . Book of revelation says .. you’ve left your first love / JESUS . Never leave Jesus .. never leave the Blood . Power in the Blood and Holy Ghost Power
Amen. Thank God for men that would preach the Word. I wish there were more of them.
I love this clip. Not only for the biblical truth that is preached, but because of th reaction from the men hearing God's truth. What I wouldn't give to hear men cheer the truths of God hen they hear it.
Biblical TRUTH?
@@davidarmintannbaum6800Yes
Amen! I love the simplicity of his preaching.
Amen!!! It's because Salvation through Jesus is very simple. Praise God for that!!!
Since we can't earn salvation, it was made simple for us by the finished work of Christ on the cross
But many think it's too simple, and want to add something to it
I find that really sad
I was physically born of my mother by no works of me other then to take my first breath of air. But I absolutely have to work/obey/yield to have a loving fellowship with my mother. It seems to me that God in all his wisdom even made our physically life to be a clear example of our spiritual life..but so sad how many people still want to make it muddy and confusing. Life is free. Fellowship cost you. Eternal life is free by faith in Jesus. Fellowship with Jesus will cost you.
I love the way he preaches. Sort of sounds like an old Pentecostal although he's Baptist, but both Christians none the less.
Amen! Believe the gospel and SAVED forever !
They believe in salvation by grace alone, but you’re expected to live, act, and think a certain way unless you want them to think you weren’t saved in the first place or at least in compromise. A favorite word with IFB-ers.
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS LORD THY GOD YOUR WILL BE DONE FOREVER AND EVER PRAISE BE AND ALL GLORY AND ESTEEM TO THE GOD OF ISRAEL GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB
A pioneer of the free grace movement in the end times that was predicted in scripture
I obey him: "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." John 6:40
He is spitting truth!!!
Well someone say, AMEN 🙌🏼✝️
Thank you for sharing this.
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Fantastic truth! That's why it's called GOOD NEWS!!
Amen
Thank you Jesus!
Friend, grace, mercy, and forgiveness is the gift of God, not of man. Man's way is to cheat, steal, and lie, swear, destroy, murder and hate, its been that way from the start. God is love, forgiveness, mercy and his resources are unlimited. Don't hate the only one who can ever help you. Jesus loves you, and cares for you, and doesn't want to see any one perish. I pray God strengthens you, and the Holy Spirit shows you how you can experience real forgiveness and mercy, as only he can.
Big Amen to this.
A person that has been forgiven by a just and merciful God by such a great and merciful God will not be looking for ways not to obey His Lord,he will be motivated by his regenerated heart to always please his Lord. will he succeed? no,of course not, but He will always be pressing on.
Philippians 3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus
Malachi 2: 17
Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; ...
Fantastic!
Salvation by works = trusting the sinner
Salvation by grace = trusting the savior
Repentance and believing are inseparable. It's clear here in these verses. The person that has trusted Christ as repented. And the person who repents trusts Christ.
Great!
Amen brother, too bad we don't have many good preachers such as this left these days. Thank God I'm saved by grace!
Amen!!!
Amen!
Very deep and true
Notice in the verse that it says, "If a man abide not in me..." You can NOT possibly abide in Him until you are born again.
Amennnnn
amen
AMEN
AMEN! =)
GREAT!!! Thursday, July 26, 2012
Yes, I agree every believer needs to live the Christ like life. Notice in 1 John 2:6 it uses the word "ought" which means that we should. Paul's writings are stating what John had stated, that we ought to walk the way God wants us to walk, in our Saviour's Footsteps. But, many believers don't, sadly. However, when they don't, they will be chastened and corrected by God. If they don't have God's conviction, there is a problem and need to reexamine themselves to see if they are of the faith.
He won't always be pressing on. Not all the time, at the very least. When you sin, it is that time you are no longer pressing on the mark for the prize; because when you sin, you do it because you want to. Now there is a prize for serving Him and a reward, but many will suffer loss and will be saved as by fire. Paul pressed for that prize, and he will be rewarded for it. Every Christian needs to do what Paul did, but not every believer will.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
i agree
Im on the winning siiiiiiiiiiiiide.
Yes, God does put desires in the believer's life to serve the Lord, and I believe that at many cases, this is at the moment of salvation. See, God gives us a new heart and I don't know a believer that he suddenly gets saved and doesn't want to do anything for the Lord. God gives us new desires when we get saved. But, are those desires going to last? NO!, not at all. Why do we sin? We do it because we want to do it and choose to. Thus, there had to be a desire to do it in the first place.
My point is that you don't get better to get saved. You get saved to get better. You can't even get better until you are saved. Like going to a doctor, we go their because there is a problem and we expect the doctor to know it. We don't make ourselves better in order to go. Jesus is the Master Physician and knows our problems and we must go to Him and Him only with our problems and He will take care of them.
@warningsofwrath Amen!

Romans 6 22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Matthew 4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 9:13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance
Revelation 3:15-16
15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
James 2:14
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James 2:17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
@rofyle Thank you, rofyle, for freely expressing your thoughts. My standing is on Christ's accomplishment, not mine ; His righteousness, not mine. Innumerable times the Word says 'whoever believes', 'whoever wills, let him come and drink ... freely ...'. God does not require the 'mighty faith' that you are referring to! Secondly, Christ would deny the ones who put their trust in the 'works' they have done. The ones who come to Him trusting Him, he'll never put away. God bless.
Is this video available for purchase anywhere? I have the audio version of this message and would very much like to get the video version.
Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
@rofyle Here the preacher is just saying that there's nothing more required to be done to be saved than to trust Christ. One does not earning salvation by 'being wicked'. Having been saved through faith in Christ, you are not only free to pursue your fruitful, holy living, but the Word of God incites you to do so. You don't trust in your good works (in addition to trusting Christ) for salvation. One has certainly gone too far if he's trying to do even one thing to get saved.
Where can I find the full sermon
"ought" has changed meaning since 1611
according to strongs concordence means
to owe (pecuniarily); figuratively to be under obligation (ought, must, should); morally to fail in duty: - behove, be bound, (be) debt (-or), (be) due (-ty), be guilty (indebted), (must) need (-s), ought, owe, should.
what do you think i am saying?
He explained salvation very well. I know the only way Richard Bealle can get to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. I thank God that Christ saved me 6 years ago. (If you never have) I hope you will repent of your sin (see yourself as a sinner and confess it to God), believe the Gospel (the good news of Jesus), and call on Christ to forgive your sinful nature and save your soul. Only then will you be a Christian and a Child of God.
How easy is it to believe that a man rose from the dead after 3 days and nights?
Yes, I know. I am not stupid. This is what I have been trying to say. Surrendering to the Lord is a work. Turning from sin is a work. It's all self-righteousness and you can fit just about anything in that category that we DO.
But, when we get saved, we ought to work for our Lord because of what He has done for us. We love Him because He first loved us (1 John 4:10). We keep His commandments because we love Him (John 14:15). But, do we love Him all the time? NO!
@PatriciaBrigh If you think you've been justified because you cast your self-proclaimed sovereign trust His way, then you are ever bit the self-righteous Pharisee that Christ promised He would deny at the last day. "But Lord, Lord, did I put my trust in You? Was my trust not mighty enough to pin You to the floor and force You to acknowledge that my righteousness is able to save me?"
Lordship proponents counter this by saying, "well, one must be willing to submit to the Lordship of Christ." But this only begs the issue. Again we can ask, how willing? 80%, 90% or 100%? We still have the troubling question of "how much." One can never know for sure if they are submitting enough to Christ under the Lordship Salvation view. This eliminates all security for the believer, which is unthinkable in light of passages like Romans 8 and others.
Another question arises for you Lordship Salvationists as to how much Lordship is enough? What does it mean to submit to His Lordship? Is 75% submission enough to get one saved? Is 80% required? 66.6%? 100%? Who's to say? If 100 % submission is required for salvation, then there is no one who ever believed in God who is saved, not even David, Abraham or Noah.
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
when one gets saved the direction that he moves in will be different. he turns his back on desiring to sin and moves toward God. we all have our sin nature in us but if we are truly saved it becomes a struggle to sin because our desire will be to please the one who gave His life for us. we will slip at times.
at some point the believer has to put down the baby bottle and pick up the knife and fork.
abide means to remain...Jesus said :
John 15:6
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Ephesians 5
1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Repentance is indeed a turn-around of the mind. It is a turn from destruction to Christ. It is a turn from Hell to Christ. When we get saved, it is because we want to and because we believe on the Lord. When we repent, it is like a U-Turn and we have when we take a u-turn sometimes it takes a LONG time for people to get back to where they need to be. And sometimes, the babe in Christ may never be at the point where he can eat meat yet.
James 2:19 says, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." This is what is called passive faith. There is a difference between passive faith and dynamic faith.
Believing that there is a God won't take you to Heaven. 95% of America believes there is a God. But, to be saved, one must trust Christ as Saviour. The devils don't trust Christ as their Saviour, do they?
@cdrussell100 Not insecure, but rather passionate. Also very logical.
You're right, but this comment was not appropriate. He only spoke the truth in this video. Let us concentrate on the grace of God, rather than disputes over Calvinism.
your questions of how much is enough misrepresents the position. there is no amount of work that we can do that is enough. God puts the desire in our Hearts to obey Him by His grace,it is a gift.
Psalm 37:4
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Hebrews 5:9
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Matthew 9:13
... for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
the question is not whether we are eternally secure...the question is if the person is truly saved in the first place...saying a magic formula without a corresponding repentance and regeneration is nothing but wishful thinking...to think that Jesus died so we can live in sin then go to heaven is heresy..
" Have you carried your cross DAILY???"
no..sometimes i am a dismal failure and when i fail,i repent and ask for the strength of God's Spirit to help me the next time.
absolutely i fail, it would be insane to think otherwise.
there is some horrible fruit in my life and i repent of it every time i taste it. All praise to God for His Great Mercy. I have no righteousness but Jesus.
what is it that you think i would want to deny?
James 2:14-26 (KJV)14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Go read ROMANS 3:28 and Romans 4:5-8 says we are JUSTIFIED WOTHOUT ANY WORKS.
DrRQuincy, if salvation was by works, then Christ died on the cross for nothing.
DrRQuincy vs 18 “yea, a man may say..” James 2 in context is saying without our works our faith is dead in the sight of man. God looketh upon the heart of man, He knows if we trusted the Lord Jesus or not. James 2 is talking about being justified in the sight of man not God. Romans 4 faith alone is what saves! Look and live friend!
@@trickerdgaming No, it says "without works of the law"
Revelation 2:16
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Revelation 2:5
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
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,
"What you are saying here implies that there is no such thing as a backsliding believer."
not at all...what i am saying is that if a person shows no sign of being a new creature in Christ,they very well might not be. not everyone who says they are a Christian ,really is...if belief was the only criteria,the devil would be a Christian (James 2:19)
Romans 6
1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Mark 1:14-16 (King James Version)
14Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
He quotes John Newton, who believed in all five of the doctrines of grace. Hutson DENIED all five in his booklet, "Why I Disagree with all Five Points of Calvinism." Go figure!
We ought to live holy after we are saved. But, I don't believe that every believer will. To make the holy life a requirement for salvation is works salvation and it is a dangerous road to be on.
And I like that definition of repentance. The word "repent" in the Greek is metanoia, which means simply a "change of one's mind". That is all we are doing when we get saved. We are ONLY trusting Christ to take us to Heaven when we die. Anything added to that simple gospel is wicked.
repent:
to think differently or afterwards, that is, reconsider (morally to feel compunction): - repent.
Paul cover why we must to live Holy after we are saved in Roman 6 7 and 8
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
And let me answer in regards to the last paragraph I had mentioned. Have you carried your cross DAILY??? I'm sure there are times you fail in that area. We all do. And let me ask you this. Is there not SOME fruit in YOUR life that is unhealthy? I'm sure there is. Deny it all you want, but it is true. Everyone has this problem.
Romans 6
1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
My dear brother. Please let me suggest that you take a time out from human teachers and really dig into your Bible. Pray that God give you wisdom and understanding. We can all be wrong. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
they don't need to eat the meat all they have to do is surrender their life to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to do the life changing work through regeneration...if it takes along tim they might want to pray and ask God to save them.
@PatriciaBrigh Again, if you think you are saved because you did something deserving of it (like putting your trust in Christ, for example), then you are every bit the self-righteous Pharisee that Christ promises He would deny at the last day. Innumerable times the Word also says obey the Lord, but that doesn't mean everyone has the ability to obey Him. You assume an indicative where none exists. Whoever does not mean everybody. Whoever means whoever of those who can.
your argument ,young brother is with the Word of God. why would you want to toy with the wrath of God? Grace without Holiness mocks a Holy,Righteous God.
" Anything added to that simple gospel is wicked. "
is Paul wicked? was what he taught wicked?
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 5:9
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
note: "unto all them that obey him;"
we are saved by God's wonderful grace to do good works...we are not saved by good works
Ephesians 2:8-10
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
IF is a big word.
John 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
You are a Catholic?
No, I do not think He will overlook our sin. He most certainly will not (Hebrews 12:7-8). God hates it when we sin. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and ought not be defiled. And what do you mean by me toying around with God's judgment? He will deal with His children the way He needs to.
Christ died for our sins! Are you saved in the Lord Jesus Christ?
Your good works doesn't pay for your bad works, you need a 'payment' for your sins and that is Jesus Christ. You cannot do it alone, Jesus Christ paid it all for you, the only thing you have to do is 'believe' in what He did for you on the cross of Calvary. Jesus Christ is the only cure for sin, so please believe in what He did, His death, burial and resurrection - found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, saves lost souls when you truly believe from your heart.
Ephesians 1:13, saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way. Please get saved now, time is running out!
Eph. 2:8-9 and Titus 3:5
"THE HOLINESS WALK IS AFTER WE ARE SAVED."
i know that...you are repeating back to me what i say and claim it is something different...please put aside your presuppositions and read for content..
"No amount of works can earn us our salvation"
that is an obvious truth...but you have to see that if there are no works,that persons "salvation" is suspect...
James 2:24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Its mot works to repent of sin it's a command.
Jesus first command when He started His earthly ministry was Repent
Mark 1:15
The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Matthew 4:17
Jesus began to preach,
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.
Matthew 9:13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to REPENTANCE.
Mark 2:17
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the RIGHTEOUS but SINNERS to REPENTANCE.
Mark 6:12
They [Disciples] went out and preached that people should REPENT.
Luke 13:3
I tell you, no! But UNLESS YOU REPENT, YOU TOO WILL ALL PERISH.
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.
Luke5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but SINNERS TO REPENTANCE.”
Matthew 11:20
Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because THEY DID NOT REPENT.
Luke 15:10
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Mark4:12
So that,
they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn (from sin) and be forgiven!
Jesus's final command for us after the resurrection to preach
Luke24:47
And REPENTANCE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS will be preached in His name to ALL NATIONS,beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 2:38
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
Acts 11:18
When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Paul :
Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now COMMANDETH ALL MEN every where to REPENT.
Acts 20:21
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH (believe) toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 26:18-20
18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven.
20First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should REPENT AND TURN TO GOD (believe) and DEMONSTRATE THEIR REPENTANCE BY THEIR DEEDS.
Nowhere in scripture does Jesus say Believe or Trust in Me for the forgiveness of sins.
