I feature some of the best preaching I've come across on the internet, usually with an emphasis on Free Grace theology and assurance of Salvation. I hope these videos give you a solid foundation and assurance in Jesus Christ.
Faith without works is DEAD (James 2) The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9) Paul taught in Ephesians 5 that we should be given to sin, lest we become partakers with sinners of the WRATH of God.
This was really inconsistent. He said Calvinists believe in works and that its bad. And then he says that believes HAVE TO CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. watch closely, he points out examples of faith by how people make decisions in scripture. A calvinist teaches that, yes, works prove faith. But it doesnt teach that the amount of works matters. Its just that a lot of people can claim to believe and never act on the belief. If you told me the water was safe to drink, but never drank from it even when asked to, then did you really ever believe it was safe? Through your work of drinking you have proven your faith. Simple.
Calvanists impune the character of God. God is so loving, kind, and beautiful-Jesus died for all mankind, he loves everyone and calls all to salvation ONLY IN HIM ❤
Nope we are interpreting the text and making logical inferences from what is stated. If Jesus died for all mankind (your meaning is for each and every person) then why didn't he pray for each and every person?
It's also baked into the SBC. Check out these excerpts from the Southern Baptist Faith and Message 2000 document teaching Monergism. My comments in [brackets]. Section number 2 says: "God is all powerful and all knowing; and His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future, including the future decisions of His free creatures...God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace". [This affirms the sovereignty of God over all things including salvation as well as refutes the heresy of Open Theism] 3:[Because of original sin and the fall of mankind] "only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God". 4."Regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God’s grace whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which [Regeneration] the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ". [#'s 3 & 4 lay out the necessity God's grace before a righteous response from man is possible. Refuting the teachings of Pelagians, Semi-Pelagians, and Provisionists. But #4 goes even further and affirms that it is the New Birth of the Holy Spirit AKA Regeneration (which is not universally applied) as opposed to a Prevenient Grace (that is universally applied). Hence, refuting the whole Prevenient Grace theory that Arminians have built their entire Synergistic systematic theology upon. As a result, the SBC doctrinal statement clearly affirms Monergism and refutes all forms of Synergism]. 5. "Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. It is consistent with the free agency of man, and comprehends all the means in connection with the end. It is the glorious display of God’s sovereign goodness, and is infinitely wise, holy, and unchangeable. It excludes boasting and promotes humility. All true believers endure to the end. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit, will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end. Believers may fall into sin through neglect and temptation, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impair their graces and comforts, and bring reproach on the cause of Christ and temporal judgments on themselves; yet they shall be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation." [This large section is thoroughly Monergistic. It's emphasizes both Preservation & Perseverance of the Saints completely contradicting Synergism. Only Monergists believe both are guaranteed for the Elect because those are the results of God's work not ours. Allow me to elaborate, because Synergists are wrongly convinced that the unregenerate have Libertarian Freewill, as a result only one if any (Preservation or Perseverance) can be guaranteed to occur in believers but definitely Not both for every believer! Because that would require Monergism! Hence, they have historically disagreed bitterly among themselves which one if any is guaranteed for every believer. This is usually debated under the monicker Once Saved Only Saved (aka Preservation without Perseverance vs. Perseverance without Preservation) which has been a hotly debated topic among Synergists of various types for a very long time. However, the SBC statement refutes both sides by affirming the Bible teaches both are guaranteed according to God's Freewill to Regenerate Not according to the fallen freewill of sinner's].
Your first assertion is untrue. I believe that the Holy Spirit changes a person to want to obey God, and abiding in Christ produces fruit, and I am writing two books against Calvinism from two different perspectives. Not all Calvinists believe what you falsely attributed to them, and not all non-Calvinists are opposed to it.
We corrupt or forfeit salvation by grace by offering works! Rom 11:6 - Peter Amato, a former John MacArthur fan, debunks the most poisonous theology that pollutes our churches today - Calvinism.
A false heretic rebuking a Calvinist! God help us! Both the Calvinist doctrine and ur doctrine are equally abominable to the Lord and both doctrines lead to the same hell! You are deceived!! “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” Jonah 3:10 Here is biblical repentance! Jesus said “Go and sin NOMORE” was he joking?? U can look at the cross and tell he wasn’t joking! The Law of Moses: “Knowing that a man is NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW OF MOSES, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” Gal 2:16 We’re not Justified by this law! Vs the Moral Law, “(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.” Romans 2:12-16 Here Paul says we are justified by the law, contrary to the previous verse! But there is no such thing as a contradiction in this book! Here Paul very clearly deals with the Moral law, which only the doers of that law will be justified, he explains that the moral law is for ALL time because God wrote the moral law on the hearts and conscience of every man, and the reason he wrote them is so that NO False deceive convert has ANY excuse for sin when they come before him! The moral law is not abolished it is for all time, which means u are deceived! Adam and Eve, the cities of the plain, and those who perished in the flood were all both subject to and judged by the moral law of God! Despite being long before God ever wrote them on tablets of stone with his own finger and gave them to Moses! why?? Because God wrote it on their hearts, and conscience, therefore they had no excuse for sin, hence they were judged righteously!! Paul explains that the conscience will accuse us when we do what is wrong or else excuse us when we do what is just and right, so then, whoever sins against the light given on their conscience is a transgressor of the law and the conscience will bear witness as a testimony against us when we stand in judgement! The reason why the OSAS deceive false convert will utterly perish in their deluded deception is because they did not study to show thyself approved unto God, per the commandment! The “works” Paul refers to in Ephesians, Galatians, and Romans 10 that the new covenant believer is NOT justified by, are the old covenant works of the law of Moses! “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” 2 Ephesians 2:8-9 The very next verse tells u we’re are his WORKMANSHIP ordained unto GOOD WORKS! Lest any man should boast! Because what did the Pharisees do?? They boasted in their works which is of the law per Romans 10:4-5, the keeping of the sabbath, hand washing rituals, praying to be seen of men, fasting, tithing, they boasting in their keeping of the law of Moses, even adding the traditions of men to the law of Moses which did not profit them because Jesus said they were still of their father the devil!! Their hearts had never been changed! The unconverted will not make the cut!! And what is grace??? Surely it’s not a license for immorality! As it is written, “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;” Titus 2:11-12 If the grace of God is not teaching one to live holy and righteously before the Lord right now, in this present age, then Such a believer does not have the grace of God that brings salvation, all they have is a deception! These are those who misconstrued the old covenant works of the law of Moses with the Moral law of God! They are willfully ignorant, and if they don’t wake up, they will wake up in hell!! We are Not justified by the law because Jesus fulfilled that law! As it is written, “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For MOSES describeth the righteousness which IS OF THE LAW, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.” Romans 10:4-5 “And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the LAW OF MOSES, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” Luke.24.44 And Jesus did indeed fulfill the whole of the law, otherwise you’d have ZERO atonement, as with unbelieving Israel, who has no Yom Kippur because they have no temple and no sacrifice! “For it is the BLOOD that makes atonement for your souls” Leviticus 17:11 What’s not clear?? WE ARE NOT SAVED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW OF MOSES!!! We no longer sacrifice lambs for atonement “behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world” John 1:29! We no longer keep dietary laws Jesus declared all food clean, “for it is what comes out of a man that defiles him Purging ALL meat” Mark 7:19! We no longer need a high priest from Levi/aaron to make atonement for our sins, because Jesus is forever high priest, “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God.” Hebrew 4:14 We no longer keep clothing laws, Jesus is our covering, “ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” Romans 13:14 The new covenant believer is NOT justified by the works of the law of Moses which were the works of righteousness under the old covenant! But we are indeed justified by our works of obedience to the moral law! As it is written, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:19-26 Again there is no such thing as a contradiction in ur Bible, so why is the apostle James teaching we are justified not by faith alone by works?!! Which works?? Abraham’s believed the promise, it was accompanied by his OBEDIENCE to offer Issac as a sacrifice which means he believed God would raise him from the dead, since Issac is a prophesy of Jesus! Both being conceived of the spirit, both carrying their own wood up Mt. Moriah which later became Calvary hill to their own sacrifice!! James says Abraham’s OBEDIENCE to God proved genuine faith! Likewise Noah believed God would send the flood but spare his family, it was accompanied by his OBEDIENCE to build the ark! Faith alone without actually obey Gods command to build the ark would not have saved him at all, and would have also proved to God he didn’t believe Gods word at all! Your misconception by way of biblical ignorance carries expensive and eternal consequence! Jesus established that the Moral law is for ALL time! As it is written, “And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Matthew 19:17-19 Notice, Jesus names 6 of the 10 MORAL commandments! If u wish to enter into life eternal, then u must obey, it is not optional! “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” John 15:14 “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” John 15:10 “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:3-4 “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:” 1 John 1:5-6 There is NO salvation apart from obedience! “He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him” Hebrews 5:9 “And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.” Act 5:32 God is not interested in lip service, he’s after OBEDIENCE! Go and be deceived no more!
“If ur hand causes u to sin, chop it off and cast it from thee, for it is more profitable for thee that one of thy members perish and not that thy whole body be cast into hell”! Who said that??? JESUS said that!! He’s saying taking DRASTIC measures to get the sin out of ur life, just don’t go hell!!!!! Jesus said he HATES, the OSAS doctrine! U are not ALWAYS saved ur only deceived! As it is written, “For it is impossible for those WHO WERE(past) ONCE ENLIGHTENED, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, AND WERE(past) MADE PARTAKERS OF THE HOLY GHOST, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall FALL AWAY, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.” Hebrews 6:4-6 They were ONCE enlightened, ONCE PARTAKERS of the Holy Ghost which means they were actually ONCE saved because the holy Ghost is only given to those who actually obey God per Acts 5:32! they just weren’t ALWAYS saved, because such a doctrine is an ABOMINABLE HERESY, and Jesus told you beforehand that he ABHORS the OSAS doctrine, in Rev 2:6,15! Nicolas was once saved in Acts chapter 6, but like u, the serpent beguiled him! Satan personally delivered to Nicolae the doctrine of the nicoliatains, today it’s called “OSAS”! same demon, different decade!! Jesus hated it in the 1st century, he still hates it today! “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” 2 Peter 2:20-22 One cannot be AGAIN entangled in the pollutions of the world, unless they formally escaped the pollution of the world! “And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for OUR LAMPS ARE GONE OUT.” Matthew 25:8 One’s lamp cannot “GO OUT” unless it was formally filled! “Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and THOU STANDEST BY FAITH. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise THOU ALSO SHALL BE CUT OFF.” Romans 11:21-22 Grated in believers standing by faith in Rome, SHALL be cut off if they do not continue in the faith! One cannot be cut off from the vine unless they were formally grafted into the vine! One cannot be cut off and yet be grafted in simultaneously! Scripture alone!! “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in DEPARTING from the living God.” Hebrews 3:12 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall DEPART FROM THE FAITH, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2 A false convert cannot depart from a faith they were never in! Neither can one depart from the faith and yet be in it simultaneously! “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” Matthew 5:13 One cannot lose their flavor unless they were formally flavored! “Brethren, if any of you do ERR FROM TRUTH, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.” James 5:19-20 One cannot err from truth unless they formally followed truth! “They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, WHICH FOR A WHILE BELIEVE, and in time of temptation FALL AWAY.” Luke 8:13 They believed for a while, but then fell away!! One cannot fall away from a faith they never had, nor can one fall away from the faith and yet be in the faith simultaneously! “He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.” Matt 13:22 One cannot become unfruitful unless they were formally fruitful! “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 No one that began working for the kingdom can look back unless they formally looked forward! Remember Lots wife! “ But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27 One cannot become shipwrecked unless they began to sail! “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out” 1 John 2:19 One cannot go out from us unless they were formally with us! “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;” 2 Timothy 4:3 One cannot stop enduring sound doctrine unless they formally endured it! “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition” Hebrews 10:38 One cannot draw BACK into perdition unless they were formally saved from perdition! “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.” John 15:6 One cannot stop abiding in Christ unless they formally abided in him! “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Rev 3:11 One cannot have a crown taken unless a crown was formally given! “Thou hast a FEW names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.” Rev 3:4 One cannot become defiled unless they were formally undefiled! Notice Only FEW are undefiled and therefore worthy/saved that means MANY are defiled and therefore damned! Despite ALL of Sardis believing!! We know from Matthew 15:18-20 that sin defiles a man, and that’s why many are damned in Sardis despite their belief! “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21-23 Unbelievers aren’t calling Jesus Lord, casting out demons, nor prophesying his name! These were DECEIVED believers who were NEVER saved because Jesus NEVER knew them!! Notice, Jesus doesn’t cast them into hell for their “good works” he just cast them into hell for their “works of iniquity”!! If you believe the “OSAS” lie u are not saved! If u believe the “OSAS” lie u were NEVER saved! God has not stuttered! He has not muttered! Jesus WILL cast every OSAS deluded false convert and their heresy into the lake of fire!! “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;” Titus 2:11-12 If the grace of God is not teaching one to live holy and righteously before the Lord right now, then Such a believer does not have the grace of God that brings salvation, all they have is a deception! These are those who misconstrued the old covenant works of the law of Moses with the Moral law of God! They are willfully ignorant, and if they don’t wake up, they will wake up in hell!!

2 Timothy 1:8 KJV Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our LORD, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of GOD; 9 Who has saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in CHRIST JESUS before the world began, 10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior JESUS CHRIST, Who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Every Sunday....I mean EVERY Sunday, my pastor tells the congregation something like, "If you have never repented and turned from your sin and turned to God and placed your faith in Jesus, will you come to Him today?" I always say to my wife, repenting and turning from sin and turning to God are WORKS. Why does he add all that? Why not say, "If you're here today and you have never by faith trusted in what Jesus did for you on the cross, you can do that this morning. Simply say, Jesus, I believe that I am a sinner and cannot do ANYTHING to save myself, but I believe that you died for me and by faith I believe your death paid the penalty of my sin. The Bible says, "He who calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved."
@@user-dz8rg3fg5h they don’t believe the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus is enough to keep someone saved forever the moment they believe. So no, they’re actually unbelievers.
@@user-dz8rg3fg5h no they don’t. They don’t believe that he died for the sins that cause people to lose salvation otherwise they wouldn’t believe in salvation loss. Therefore, they don’t believe that he truly died for 100% of their sin debt despite them claiming that they do. Think about it.
We can make two observations from these born of God/born again texts. First, in every instance the verb “born” (gennaô) is in the perfect tense, denoting an action that precedes the human actions of practicing righteousness, avoiding sin, loving, or believing. Second, no child of God, Bible believer, saved person, would say that before we are born again we must practice righteousness, for such a view would teach works-righteousness. Nor would we say that first we avoid sinning, and then are born of God, for such a view would suggest that human works cause us to be born of God. Nor would we say that first we show great love for God, and then he causes us to be born again. No, it is clear that practicing righteousness, avoiding sin, and loving are all the consequences or results of the new birth. But if this is the case, then we must interpret 1 John 5:1 in the same way, for the structure of the verse is the same as we find in the texts about practicing righteousness (1 John 2:29), avoiding sin (1 John 3:9), and loving God (1 John 4:7). It follows, then, that 1 John 5:1 teaches that first God grants us new life and then we believe Jesus is the Christ. We see the same truth in Acts 16:14. First God opens Lydia’s heart and the consequence is that she pays heed to and believes in the message proclaimed by Paul. Similarly, no one can come to Jesus in faith unless God has worked in his heart to draw him to faith in Christ (John 6:44). But all those whom the Father has drawn or given to the Son will most certainly put their faith in Jesus (John 6:37). God regenerates us and then we believe, and hence regeneration precedes our conversion. Therefore, we give all the glory to God for our conversion, for our turning to him is entirely a work of his grace.

John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
The thief on the cross had NO works, yet the spark of faith in his request to Jesus "remember me!" resulted in salvation. That is the mustard seed belief referred to in Ephesians 2: 8&9. Titus 3: 5 Not by works of righteousness that we have done, but according to HIS MERCY He saved us.
Calvinists don’t preach the Gospel the way they believe it. Their version is “Jesus died for your sin and if He gives you faith and regenerates you, granting you Grace and enabling you to repent, then you must be one of the elect and are saved”. When you confront them with this fact they say “we can’t preach that, that’s not the Gospel”. But that’s exactly what they believe. As we know, it is most certainly not the Gospel, but they still believe it under the banner of Gods Sovereignty. Calvanisim is a masterful deception from the enemy to discredit Gods Sovereignty and twist the very Good News of the Gospel. In the end all that matters is the true Gospel, they won’t admit their version is as I’ve written above, but it is. So I always ask them “why don’t you share what you actually believe, when you’re preaching the gospel?”
Here is absolute Biblical proof that God does NOT cause or determine everything; In Jeremiah 19:5 God says, “They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal-something I did NOT COMMAND or mention, nor did it enter my mind.” 2nd Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is…not willing that ANY should perish but that ALL should come to repentance.” and yet, it also has Jesus saying, "Broad is the road that leads to destruction (hell) and many are on it, but straight and narrow is the road that leads to life (Heaven) and few ever find it." So, as a Calvinist, do you really believe that God arbitrarily creates some people for one reason; to burn for eternity in hell?
8 Calvinistic Beliefs vs.The BIBLE : What's The Difference???... Calvinism : Jesus Died ONLY for the Elect alone. BIBLE : Jesus Died for ALL (2 Corinthians 5:14-15, cf. John 1:29, 6:33, 6:51, Colossians 1:20-23, 1 Timothy 2:6, 4:10, Hebrews 2:9, 1 John 2:2, cf. 5:19), including those who DENY Him (2 Peter 2:1, cf. Luke 22:14-21, Hebrews 10:26-29, Jude 1:4). Calvinism : Jesus is The Propitiation ONLY for the Elect alone. BIBLE : Jesus is The Propitiation NOT ONLY for the Elect alone, BUT ALSO for the WHOLE WORLD (1 John 2:2, cf. John 1:29, 6:33, 6:51), which includes ALL UN-BELIEVERS (1 John 5:19, Revelation 3:10, 12:9, 16:14). Calvinism : God Gives Saving Grace ONLY to the Elect alone. BIBLE : God Gives Saving Grace to ALL (Titus 2:11, cf. Isaiah 45:22, Luke 3:6, 1 Timothy 2:4-6, 4:10), but some Receive It in Vain (2 Corinthians 6:1), and Fall Short of It (Hebrews 12:15), and Pervert It (Jude 1:4-19), and Reject It (Galatians 1:6, Hebrews 10:29). Calvinism : God has Mercy ONLY on the Elect alone. BIBLE : God has Mercy on ALL (Romans 11:32, cf. Psalm 145:8-9). Calvinism : God does NOT Want All to be Saved. BIBLE : God DOES Want ALL to be Saved (1 Timothy 2:4-6, cf. Isaiah 45:22, Ezekiel 18:23, 18:32, 33:11, Matthew 23:37, Acts 17:30-31, Romans 10:21). Calvinism : It is God's PLEASURE to Doom the Wicked to Destruction. BIBLE : God takes NO PLEASURE in the Death of the Wicked (Ezekiel 18:23, 18:32, 33:11, Matthew 23:37, Romans 10:21). Calvinism : God has Decreed ALL Things. BIBLE : God has NOT Decreed All Things (Jeremiah 19:5/ESV, cf. Isaiah 10:1, 30:1, 55:8-9, Hosea 8:4, 1 John 2:16), but He has ALLOWED All of the Nations to Walk in their OWN Ways (Acts 14:16, 17:30). Calvinism : Election is According to a Mysterious Secret Un-Conditional DECREE of God. BIBLE : Election is According to The FOREKNOWLEDGE of God (1 Peter 1:2, cf. Jeremiah 1:5, John 6:64, Acts 2:23, Romans 8:29, 11:2).
I know this is two years after this sermon, but I am terrified for Calvinists. Is this what Christ meant when he said LUK 18:08b Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Excellent Excellent teaching ! But the recording is speeded up and makes it hard to follow. Am grateful tho because it's so powerfully true and liberating to those bound by works salvation torment!!
Amen! Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. You should have just enough faith to read the Bible, hopefully a KJV, and then it will prove to you that it's God's truth. But Salvation is merely hearing, believing , and confessing with your mouth from the heart, that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again for an atonement of your sins. Bingo bango bongo, a new baby spirit gets born into God's family. Then you need to grow with the milk, bread, and meat of God's Word. 1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. You must believe the right Gospel to become indwelled with the Holy Spirit, and many people have been deceived by false prophets making merchandise of them. The Holy Spirit is long suffering and working hard everyday to get the truth out. God Bless All preaching against Calvinism!
Wow that is a good message. I could have used that years ago when i was still in the works based Assembly of God church. But Praise God He showed this truth even without having seen this video.
