Andy Woods - Soteriology 01: Introduction 

Thirty eight years I've been a believer in Jesus. This is the very first time that I have heard these explanations with definitions. Praise be to God for Dr Andy Woods.

Why aren't more people learning the Bible from Pastor Andy Woods. He's a great teacher. Absolutely love this man. You can check your Bible and check that what he's teaching is Scriptural. Thank you brother Andy! God bless!! 🙏❤

Andy, where you been all my life?!?! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not that I hadn’t known these tenses of salvation,but when it’s laid out so clearly as this in the scriptures it aligns so much with personal experience and reality

you said the most significant thing that I am just learning this week - the Christian life is a life that needs to be lived under divine power of the Holy Spirit. Talk about leaning!!!

THANK YOU for posting this series! It's not on the official channel so I'm very glad and grateful... Dr. Andy Woods has blessed my life so much by his teachings...

So grateful I have this for myself and to share with others. Thank You, Jesus.

Thank you soo much Pastor Andy Reading LSChafer during the day ☀️ listening to this video series during the night 🌚 what a combo 👍

Hello from the USA. Just found your channel. Thank you for sharing this body of work. I've been watching Dr. Andy since Jan 2019.

So glad these videos are here!

Absolutely brilliant brilliant teaching bless you Andy woods

Thank you Lord for servant Andy Woods.

Thank you for sharing. This will help in every conversation with believers about scripture. Knowing where you stand in your salvific shoes is clearer now. -Justification is an event.........born again by Gods grace through our faith ...........judgement not for heaven and hell.....qualified for heaven -Sanctification is a process....our walk as saved disciples......................................how we follow christs example ....developing fruits or not -Glorification is an event........death, rapture..............................................................judged at bema seat for our place in heaven including gifts and crowns or not......

Thank you, Dr. Woods for clarifying that sanctification is a "possibility". It reminds me of the parable of the four soils on which the good seed fell. I believe that only the seed that fell on the soil but was snatched away before it took "root" is the only image of "not being saved". I believe the seed that fell on the other three soils are pictures of believers in various conditions of sanctification. However, the erroneous doctrine that claims that "unless you see fruit" a person isn't saved is just that...erroneous. There are those who are saved but have shallow roots...others who are saved but distracted by the world...and then there are those who bear much fruit for the kingdom. OSAS Maranatha!

What a wonderful introduction to the teaching on Soteriology. I learnt so much 👍 and look forward to the other teachings.

Wife and I are second time arounders if there is such a word. Thank you for this venue that we can repeat these.

LOL... hahahaha 12 weeks ehh? You were only off by 40 weeks ...hahaha... Love to you brother, so very glad you did this, I have gleaned an abundance of information from you and I have made it to video 33... GOD Bless you and all that had a hand in the production of this series...

So thankful I watched this series!

Brilliant Teaching!!!

Thank you for posting these. I was listening to these on a website, but there was no speed-up function available, which I usually use to get through videos faster. God bless you.

Great teaching. Thank you!

Hi Pastor Andy! I rlly rlly rlly need ur help in this... Bcos I'm trap in this spiritual depression between whether I'm saved or not, confusing with theological differences between Calvinism and Arminianism. At 52:40, U said that 'Unless u are called to be an evangelist which is basically transferring unbelievers to believers, unless u HAVE THAT SPECIFIC CALLING, most of us have ministries based on different gifts that God gives to the body of Christ or were transitioning people from carnality or infancy into spirituality.' I thought we as Christians are commanded to evangelize and preach the gospel to our neighbors and that no gifts is involved with regards to evangelism? Also, u said at 55:27 that Paul is not threatening the carnal Christians with hell, my qns is.. Does not the Bible also mention that people with jealousy(envy) will not inherit the Kingdom in Galatians 5:21? Does this mean to say Paul is contradicting himself? Please help me in this Pastor. Thank u so much and God bless u!

This was a very interesting sermon. I was able to understand quite a bit as well as gain new insight. However I guess the question I have is if we are always saved and we cannot lose that salvation, because yes the Bible does say it is not by our own works that we are saved but a gift from God, how do you explain Hebrews 10: 26-39? Verse 26 says "for if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, they're no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries." When we look at verse 38 it says now that just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, my soul has no pleasure in him." So if one continues to sin and draws back living in carnal ways not living by The commandments because Jesus himself says those who love me will do my commandments, then would they not lose that salvation? Would they not be judged harshly and punished? In Revelation 21:7,8 it says "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be my son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the Lake of fire which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." If a believer who was backslidden committing sexual immorality or sorcery or idolatry, would they not also be thrown into the Lake of fire? Also in Colossians 1: 21-23 it says 'And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now he has reconciled"...in verse 23 it says "if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which you heard..." So if someone were to stray away from the faith altogether they would no longer have their salvation, is how I understand this. I am trying to understand these things better. I would very much call myself a mature Christian at this point. I can definitely handle solid meats, but of course there are certain things I am still studying and wanting a better understanding on.

I have a question. Why are there so many different beliefs in the Protestant world? Some believe in Once Saved, Always Saved, and Some do not! Why do some of them believe in the Rapture and Some Don't? Why do some believe in Baptism regeneration and some do not? Why do some Believe in Bible Alone and some do not? Why do some believe they are saved by Faith alone, and some do not? Why did Luther tell people to interpret the Bible independently before he died? There were 250 Christian Churches, all teaching different doctrines! Paul says in 1 Tim 1:3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer Ephesians says there is one Lord, one Faith, One Baptism. Jesus prayed in John 17:21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. Why did the Mother of Jesus appear to children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917 and tell them she was from Heaven and to Pray the Rosary. Then she had 70,000 people show up to see her make the sun dance in the sky and move closer and closer to Earth and many people converted, and Portugal did not go communist, it stayed democratic even though it was about to.

Jesus is going to save people who don't believe in Him? huh. I thought all spiritual blessing was in Christ (Eph 1:3) and that those who don't believe in Him are condemned (John 3:18-21)

It was man who sinned in the Garden of Eden; Shouldn't man be somehow involved in the process of recovering the state of grace? But God sends His Son to die for the sins of men to provide salvation; But in what does the sacrifice of Christ consist? Die on the cross? But weren't there other men dying on the cross? And did Christ, 100% God and 100% man, not know that he would rise to his former state after three days? In what, then, did the sacrifice of Christ consist? In temporary suffering? Did Christ lose something he had before the sacrifice? How then to classify his act of sacrifice if he lost nothing, sacrificed nothing? Mary had a role in salvation. And man had none? "Pieces" are missing from this "puzzle"! Wouldn't that be the reason why Christ told the disciples that he still had a lot to say to them, but they couldn't bear it yet?

Christ died⚰ for our sins, according to the scriptures📖, and that He was buried, and that He rose from the dead on the third day🤴..... Believe this MESSAGE of TRUTH and YOU will have ETERNAL LIFE🥳

Behold, you are trusting in deceptive words to no avail. 9“Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after other gods that you have not known, 10then come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’-that you may do all these abominations? 11“Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” declares the LORD.

Is this "antinomianism"? How does one recognize "false brethren" and "false teachers" in the church, and people who have never been saved ( "tares") among believers if there is no godly "fruit" in their lives at all? Believers are said to be made a"new creature" with a new power of God in their soul that begins to change them from within which is the beginning of progressive sanctification. Unless a believer dies shortly after believing (like the thief on the cross) some change will begin to happen in their life if Christ resides in their soul . There will be an inclination to begin to learn about God and a new impulse to obey him which may be weak and inconsistent at first from lack of teaching (like an infant). 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a "new creature": old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Phil. 2:13 "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Phil. 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Ezek. 36 25-27 describes the result of the New Covenant which the Church experiences now, when Christians are "born again" (by faith alone) which the remnant of Israel will experience later when they believe in Jesus at his 2nd coming. Ezek. 36 25-27 "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I CLEANSE YOU. A NEW HEART also will I give you, and A NEW SPIRIT WILL I PUT WITHIN YOU: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU, and CAUSE YOU TO WALK IN MY STATUTES , and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them." "Christ in you the hope of glory" is bound to affect a change in the life and behavior of a person if he truly resides in the soul. Christians should have as much "faith" in Jesus to progressively sanctify them as they do for him to "save" them from the penalty of sin.

Now I know where you get your accusations with Dr. John MacArthur you have your own self claim above what Dr. John MacArthur says. Ask him personally about your accusations if you will.

That's a first. Islam was started by a demon masquerading as an archangel. That's fascinating and if true would certainly explain a lot.
