How Are LGBT People Saved? - Bob Wilkin 

Thank you brother for this message. It's so hard to find people these days who teach/preach the true gospel of Jesus without adding a bunch of works to it. The gospel message should bring with it a joy and peace and assurance in knowing Christ has brought us eternal life, not the condemnation and questioning that legalism brings.

Amen Dr Wilkin. This is Joe. That was excellent! God bless!!

I stopped following someone who said there's no such thing as a "gay Christian." I pray for all to turn to the atoning blood of Jesus Christ for salvation.

Brilliant Bob. The message all LGBT and non-LGBT people need to hear.

The problem today is that many false teachers from the Calvinist/Lordship Salvation camp will falsely teach that LGBT people cannot be saved based upon a faulty understanding and eisegesis of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. However, the above text says "WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD". There is a difference between "inheriting the kingdom" versus "ENTERING THE KINGDOM". Entering the kingdom of God is FREE as eternal life is a free gift that is not of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 4:2-6, Romans 9:31-32, Romans 10:4, Romans 11:6, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21, Galatians 3:6, Galatians 5:4, Titus 3:5, Genesis 15:6. INHERITING THE KINGDOM has to do with ETERNAL REWARDS and REIGNING WITH CHRIST which are EARNED privileges based on our performance here in this earthly life - 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, Matthew 25:14-30, Luke 19:11-27, Revelation 2:26, Revelation 3:21, 2 Timothy 2:12-13. If saved believers including people from the LGBT community fail to abide, endure, and persevere in their faith, then they will NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD in the form of eternal rewards and the privilege of reigning with Christ, BUT THEY ARE STILL SAVED AND WILL BE GOING TO HEAVEN. 1) FAITHFUL CHRISTIANS in this life that lived obediently, and faithfully and did things that have eternal value will be granted with eternal rewards, and for some, the earned privilege of reigning with Christ in the Millennium is granted - 2 Timothy 2:12, Revelation 3:21, and Revelation 2:26. Their lives will be tested with fire (Christ's fiery scrutiny) and WILL PASS THE TEST and be granted eternal rewards and some will reign with Christ. 2) UNFAITHFUL CHRISTIANS in this life that lived disobediently, and carnally will have their works tested with the fire of Christ's scrutiny at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Their lives, that is, their works had no eternal value and WILL FAIL THE TEST and be denied eternal rewards, BUT are still saved because eternal life is a free gift apart from works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 4:2-6, Romans 9:32, Romans 11:6, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21, Gal ch. 3, Galatians 5:4, Titus 3:5. If we Christians deny Christ in this life by living unfaithfully, disobediently, or carnally in this life, then Christ will DENY us ETERNAL REWARDS (latter half of 2 Timothy 2:12), but our eternal salvation remains intact and untouched as 2 Timothy 2:13 clearly states. 2 John 1:8 - Watch out that you do not LOSE what we have WORKED FOR, but that you may be REWARDED FULLY. God sometimes punishes unfaithful Christians who are saved with SICKNESS and premature PHYSICAL DEATH who are living in willful sin which is in essence defiling themselves - 1 Corinthians 3:17, 1 John 5:16-17, but they are still saved. The Christians in the Corinthian church who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper are a classic example - 1 Corinthians 11:20-22, 1 Corinthians 11:29-30. Eternal life is FREE, BUT inheriting the kingdom/eternal rewards/reigning with Christ are EARNED. There is a big difference. This is what 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 is talking about which takes place at the future Judgment Seat of Christ (Bema Seat) 2 Corinthians 5:10. 10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder WILL SUFFER LOSS, but YET WILL BE SAVED-even though only as one escaping through the flames. The "gold", "silver", and "costly stones" represents faithful Christian's works in this life that had eternal value and will STAND UP to the fire used to test it, but the "wood", "hay", and "straw" represents unfaithful Christian's works in this life that had no eternal value, but will BURN UP in the fire used to test it. The "gold, "silver", and "costly stones" symbolize a life of obedience, commitment, perseverance, faithfulness, endurance under trial, etc. but the "wood", "hay", and "straw" symbolizes a life of unfaithfulness, disobedience, carnality, laziness, etc. Again, the "burned up" and "flames" in verse 15 is not referring to the flames of hell, but is referring to the works of the carnal, unfaithful, and disobedient Christians in this life that had no eternal value that is BURNED UP when tested with Christ's fiery scrutiny. Their eternal salvation remains intact and untouched, for eternal life is a free gift apart from works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 4:2-6, Romans 6:23, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21. 2 Timothy 2:12-13 - 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, YET HE ABIDETH FAITHFUL: he cannot deny himself. If saved Christians, including those in the LGBT community fail to endure/suffer/persevere under trial, etc, in this life, but live carnally, disobediently, and unfaithfully, then Christ will deny them eternal rewards/reigning with Christ at the future Bema Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, BUT THEY ARE STILL SAVED - 1 Corinthians 3:14-15. In conclusion, UNFAITHFUL Christians in this life who lived disobediently and carnally will experience chastisement in this life from God including SICKNESS and premature PHYSICAL DEATH for some - 1 John 5:16-17, Proverbs 15:10, Hebrews 12:5-11, Jeremiah 2:19, 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, Acts 5:1-10, and experience SHAME (1 John 2:28) and a forfeiture of ETERNAL REWARDS at the Judgment Seat of Christ, but loss of eternal life is NEVER one of the consequences - 1 Corinthians 3:15, 2 Timothy 2:13.

You don't get cleaned up ti come to Jesus. He cleans you AFTER you come to Him!!! Faith is trusting as a child, though you don't know everything you are doing (or might do)that is sin....yet, but that Jesus, alone, can save you...PERIOD!

Amen Bob, good solid truth! 👍

For all who believe in Jesus Christ salvation is Absolutely free, Because Jesus Christ did all the work on our behalf, His proclaim ( it is finished ) on the cross means that He made the final and full payment for the penalty for our sins. It also means we cannot add anything to what Jesus accomplished. We cannot do anything to earn our salvation or to keep our salvation.. God bless you Dr. Bob

you are 100% correct my friend

Where does conversion come into this? Can LGBT say "Thanks for saving me, but I'm going to carry on as I have been, I have *pride* in my lifestyle and I will not change because I don't want to" I can understand how someone would battle with sin, but I find it hard to believe that someone who is born again would still willingly, pridefully want to disobey God's ways even though they've been enlightened and equipped by the Holy Spirit to make war against sin. Romans 6 1¶What 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.

AMEN! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Amen. Well said. There is so much legalistic Christianity that is stopping people coming to Jesus to receive the free gift of righteousness. They make people perform to be saved. But we perform because we are eternally secure and realise there are benefits to living for God. Thankfully that whole legalistic system is coming down. God is removing its influence.

When God says he will put in us a new heart and put His desires into us and cause us to walk in His ways… does this not involve some serious change in how one lives? How can you believe in He who you deny? How can you trust in the Lord and disagree with Him?

Truth! However, Ray Comfort would argue that! Lol

John 3:17-20 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

Amen! Thank you for true teaching! The same way every other person has to be saved, by believing the gospel 1Cor. 15:1-4. The seed must be in a person before it can grow.

Beautiful message

"Such were some of you." Your identity cannot be in a sin. The sin is past, not a lifestyle.

Amen!

Amen, Rom 3:22,23 ... For there is no difference... and we shouldn't make one where there are none .

Thank you brother for speaking truth about our salvation! There a probably a million of not publicly sins like greed, envy, jealousy, unkindness etc with which has god has to deal with all of us… so please fellow Christians go ahead and throw your stones. The grace evangelical society is a beautiful 🌺 in a field of a lot of weed.

Mr. Wilkin, how is your message to be understood, in light of (Mark 2:17)? Are you teaching that one can profess faith in the Gospel message without any subsequent consequences to their reprobate lifestyle? What is your understanding of verses like (1 Corintians 6:20)?

Fair enough. But I challenge you to make a video that answers the question "Should Christians live an LGBT lifestyle?" Does lifestyle matter in the Christian walk?

Amen. His sacrifice was for all, for all time, ever, through belief in Him.

YES!!! TRUTH!!! Jesus bless this ministry for everyone to understand what it means to be truly born again!! All glory to God!! 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️

People confuse eternal life in Christ, with sanctification and gain or loss of reward. Biblical correct exposition Brother Bob. Thanks brother. Every one of the saints commenting here that do not understand this, even though saved, knows deep inside that although they have not, and will not practice the sin that they did before salvation, EVERY INE OF THEM HAVE COMMITED THAT SIN AFTER SALVATION. AND ANY SAINT THAT SAYS THEY HAVE NOT IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH

When you are born again you become a new creature. I agree with what you are saying about salvation but it sounds like you are saying it doesn't matter if that person is changed. What about 1stJohn 3 4-10? Well, all of 1st John??

That's why they call it the "Good News"! It's as simple as can be. We ned not do anything but believe (trust Jesus died for your sins). Best news ever!

Thank You, Pastor Bob, for telling the simple, pure Gospel Truth! You are a voice crying in the wilderness when it comes to Baptist and Evangelical pastors. Thank God for you + Almost every one of the former pastors that I have communicated with on-line will roundly condemn Lordship Salvation, insist that metanoia/repentance is a change of mind about how one is saved (through faith alone, by grace), THEN when they learn that you are gay they will insist it is a sinful 'choice' and that you must repent of being homosexual in order to be born again and saved, thus completely controverting the very message of salvation that they preach! It is maddeningly frustrating that almost every Bible-believing pastor insists on this double standard for LGBT people coming to Christ. They refuse to believe that anyone could be born with same-sex attraction and that it is not a conscious, sinful and perverted choice. This is the problem many LGBT Christians face when it comes to finding a church community. If they go to a welcoming & affirming church, they are warmly embraced and unconditionally loved but hear a social gospel, watered down, focusing on this world and ignoring evangelical truths. If they go to a 'Bible-believing' church they will be told that they must first stop 'promoting homosexuality' (which in their understanding means simply being LGBT and breathing, completely regardless of anything they may do or not do in their daily life!) otherwise they are not saved, born again, redeemed by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ or indwelt by His Holy Spirit (otherwise, if they truly were, they would have 'stopped being gay'). So, many of us are caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place and remain without any church community to call home. Please, continue to preach the truth about LGBT people and pray for those of us who can find no Bible-believing church or pastor that, like you, holds to the unconditional promise of salvation for all who seek it in Christ Jesus through faith alone by grace.

I would love a video expanding on this topic. Like a drawn out scripture to scripture discussion. I have a gay uncle. He was molested heavily all growing up and of course turned out to be gay. I know for a fact it happened because my mom was molested by the same guy doing it to him. Anyhow, how is Gods grace not extended to those with similar situation? This is for those who claim a homosexual cannot be saved in their sin. Tell me how Salvation isn’t extended beyond to those who happen to sin differently than you? Great topic that needs to be further discussed.

"...now, go and sin no more" I love Jesus so much. Amen, by faith you're saved. LGBT OR ANYONE IN THE WORLD, YOU BELIEVE IN THE SACRIFICE THAT HE DID ON THE CROSS FOR YOU AND FROM THERE ON JESUS WILL GIVE YOU GROWTH, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL TELL YOU WHAT THINGS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED, ANY SIN THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE A SLAVED TO, YOU OFFER IT AS A GIFT TO THE LORD AND HE WILL EMPOWER YOU BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REGRET IT. THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND YOU GET TO HUG YOUR MAKER. LOVE YOU ALL!

I've come to the conclusion that nobody understands salvation ,I'll guess we'll find out when we all die .😔

-> Exactly. Someone currently living in the LGBT lifestyle does not mean they are not saved. A believer's sins are not counted against them, and they have God's perfect record of righteousness given to them. After one is saved, their sinful flesh birth is still the same as it was, that is why saved people still commit sin with their body. 1 John 3:9 states that he who is born of God (new spiritual creature inside the believer) does not commit sin, and cannot sin. Philippians 3:21 shows that God will (future) change the vile (evil) body of every believer into a glorious body. 2 Corinthians 5:19 - To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:20 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 - For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 1 John 3:9 - Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Philippians 3:21 - Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Great message and fully agree 😀 Though wondering always where and how "church discipline" comes in, if I can call it like that. Living a lifestyle of certain sins (hate using LGBT as an example for that cuz none is better than the other) but we know it isn't God's design , same as for being an alcoholic or addicted to drugs (not comparing the topics by the way, but these are some 'easy to use' examples). What do we do with fellow believers in "such lifestyle "?

For awhile I was listening to a certain IBF church that believe once saved always saved but they didn’t believe homosexuals could be saved which goes against the teachings of the Bible, Jesus died for all sins regardless of what they are, those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ shalt be saved, so yes that includes everyone and homosexuals and if they wish to continue in that path they’ll suffer the consequences of that lifestyle here on earth but they’ll go to heaven since they believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, discipleship aka the Christian walk comes after we’re saved if the individual wants to it’s not an obligation and it’s not required to receive or maintain salvation, salvation is a gift from God that doesn’t require a payment plan from us, Jesus Christ Himself was the payment for all our sins past, present and future, after an individual is saved and serve God will receive blessings and rewards in heaven for living a Godly life but the reward isn’t salvation it’s apart from salvation, so yes there’s benefits for living a Christ centered spiritual life, the Bible tells us we should walk in the spirit in order to not fulfill the deeds of the flesh.

great news, as a rapist, l don't have to repent, !! good news indeed

At the moment of conversion we renounce the sin that is present in that very moment that believes, we must not wait to grow in faith.

1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

For all those hung up on sexual identity hear this, " people don't go to heaven because they are heterosexual nor does anyone end up in hell because they identify as 'gay, bisexual, trans etc' , you go to Heaven because you beleive Jesus saved your soul on the cross'. After you get saved, He is the one who guides and restores what the locusts have eaten. How do I know this? I was in the 'gay' community until I got saved on September 25, 1985 at 10:30 pm while leaving a Rock Concert stoned on drugs amd alcohol! I felt so lost and the Lord just came to me and told me He loved me and had died for me. Right there on the spot, I asked Him to forgive me. He did and 40 years later I am walking with my Lord and though the journey was difficult at times, He never left me or forsake me. Never mind what some 'christians' tellyou about your Life and your choices, just choose Him and let Him take over. He will NEVER, EVER, EVER, LET YOU DOWN!! Praise the Lord Jesus.

The answer is Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. There is no difference. The gospel is a CONSTANT regardless of the manner extent timing & type of sin we all have in our past present or future.

This is absolutely 100% true about any gay/bi person regarding salvation. The Lord our GOD wants to save these people in that community. Unfortunately, the enemy is very strategic in his tactics and uses so called "christian's" to push these people away from the faith. Satan used the religious people back when Jesus walked the earth and he still uses them today. There will be gay people in heaven who trusted in the gospel alone found in 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 KJV to be permanently saved forever who still live that "lifestyle" and there will be people who go to church every week, serve at their church, evangelize the "gospel", etc who mix law and grace who will be burning in hell forever. I believe this is what the Lord has showed me a few years ago.

But it is not a question of spiritual growth but of renunciation of sin precisely at the moment of conversion, I agree that salvation is by grace through faith but at the moment of conversion it is

But don't they need to understand their sinners in order to understand their need for a savior??

Well ...Jesus said in the Bible that " ON that day a lot of people will say" Lord Lord didn't we perform miracles in your name and cast out demons" and Jesus said " And I will say to you I NEVER KNEW YOU DEPART FROM ME YOU WHO PRACTICE INIQUITIES!!!" Something to think about what Jesus said in the Bible

Eternally secured.??? ...according to Hebrews 6 that is not the case

All are forgiven. Not all are saved; but all die. When one dies the body and the spirit separate. The body gets buried and decomposes to nothing and the spirit goes to heaven. "To be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. What ever label we carried on earth...we don't keep it. We all go to Heaven on equal footing so to speak.

If a person hates his brother, he's a murderer and no murderer has eternal life within them. This means, that if you or anyone else thinks that they're saved, but hates his brother, they're not really saved, Because hating your brother makes you all murderers in your heart and no murderer has eternal life. So claiming to believe in Jesus doesn't mean you're saved. Actually, changing and living like Jesus lived, means you're saved. Most metals should stick to magnets just as most Christians should stick to doing what Jesus commanded. Jesus said, if you love me, keep my commandments. Ya Christian who sleeps around with multiple partners or a Christian who constantly loves to lie and tells lies, Isn't saved. If they were, their life would show significant positive changes. The blood of Jesus makes us righteous. Not our good works. But our good works, proves that we believe and proves our righteousness. So why wouldn't we actually behave righteously??? Jesus wasn't lying. The righteous, behave righteously and only occasionally sin, but repent when they do and doesn't stay in that living in that sin.

Do you have to repent ?

If you see a brother in Christ in need and you have the solution to his need, and don't give him the solution, The bible asks, how can the love of God be in that type of person? It means, that person isn't truly a saved, child of God. Because if he were, he would have help his brother who had the need. If anyone says that they know God, but they don't keep his commandments, they are a liar and the truth is not in them. They don't know God and the truth ain't in them and they're not saved, because if they were saved, they would keep his commandments the majority of the time. Read 1 John 3:10 to learn what are the characteristics of the devil's children and God's children.

If this is true then your behaviour in life does not impact you being saved or not, is that correctly understood?

It truly is the greatest news in the world!!!! Thank u Jesus!!!

To believe in Jesus but disregard everything he teaches regarding repentance, sinning no more, etc is IMPOSSIBLE. Saying you believe in Jesus does not mean you’re a believer. Believing you’re saved by Jesus is not the same thing as believing in Jesus. Jesus said we are only his disciples if we hold to his teachings. See John 8:31

Youll be more rewarded for not continuing in sin and staying in bondage and are more profitable among your neighbors when you stay away from it. Grace will abound for your sins, but you made him the Lord of your life, so it should seem foolish and unwise to continue in sin, but you shouldnt feel obligated or think you're saved by your works.there should be some conviction about it and It's just a respect thing and God rewards you for it. I dont believe any church should support sinful behavior, but preach that christ came to save sinners from their sin and we are saved by his blood and not of ourselves and is a free gift of God. Sin isn't an issue with your salvation, but we should be wise and listen to the Lord and what he wants us to do. All of us struggle with sin, but we can always do better one day at a time.

A lot of people don’t understand that because you believed in Jesus Christ that he died for your past, present and future sins, you are sealed by the Holy Spirit. You are sanctified and righteous through Gods eyes. He sees no sin, only the perfection of Jesus Christ. Your sins are covered by the blood of the lamb. Hebrews 8:12 says, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more”. If you don’t believe this, then you’re calling God and liar and Jesus died in vein.

John 3:17 follows 16. The Bible was not written with chapters and verses. I highly recommend reading the whole book of John to receive the intended purpose . Read John 2:23-3:21 for full context of John 3:16.

Believe means to put your trust in and it will transform you when the disciples believed they followed Jesus you can make the Bible say what ever you want and even the atheist will be in heaven but you have to read all the scriptures and see how lives were transformed

Lifestyle change is evidence of salvation. Sure we sin less as we grow in Christ, from faith to faith, but if you say you believe in Jesus and you only sin more and more, you're not saved at all. Your lifestyle proves it. Born again means you're a new creature. The old ways are gone and all things about you are literally new.

And if truly saved and a saint commits a sin and does not repent of it and keep short accounts, then daily communion is broken with Father and Lord Jesus and the Spirit, AND YOU WILL BE CHASTISED. PLEASE STUDY HEBREWS. CHASTISEMENT IS ANOTHER SIGN THAT A PERSON HAS ETERNAL LIFE BY JESUS.

Acts 26:20 says, "I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds." In this chapter, the apostle Paul is giving his defense before King Agrippa and other officials. He recounts his conversion experience and how he went from persecuting Christians to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. In verse 18, Paul states that his mission was to open the eyes of the Gentiles and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. He also notes that this turning would result in the forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus Christ. In verse 19, Paul declares that he did not disobey the heavenly vision he received, but instead he preached the message of repentance to both Jews and Gentiles. He emphasized that he preached not only that people should repent, but also that they should turn to God and demonstrate their repentance through their deeds. The context of this passage highlights the importance of repentance as an essential component of salvation. Paul's message was not just about believing in Jesus, but also about turning away from sin and turning towards God. The evidence of true repentance is a changed life that reflects obedience to God's commands. In summary, Acts 26:20 underscores the importance of repentance as an essential aspect of salvation. Paul preached not only that people should repent of their sins, but also that they should turn to God and demonstrate their repentance through their deeds. This passage teaches that true repentance leads to a changed life that reflects obedience to God's commands.

The point is that they are incapable of believing because they have rejected Jesus upto the point of being a reprobrate

There's no jew nor gentile in Christ. There's no seperation from me or any other sinner. We are justified by faith.

Once we are born again, the Holy Spirit works in us, to conform us into the image of Christ. We don't make this happen. *Philippians 1:6* And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Alot of people don't like you Wilkin unfortunately cause you separate active sanctification from the promise I would agree with you though for the Lord sanctifies us (active)and has sanctified us (passive)active sanctification is never perfect it's also not what saves us but the passive sanctification is perfect and does save us sometimes I notice that when the Bible uses that word sometimes it is passive and sometimes it is active one speaking of imputation and one speaking of personal development funny thing is new age Calvinism or reverting to Catholicism such as MacArthur and the rest of the gospel coalition there's a Calvinist channel that I like called theocast I'm not automatically opposed to a Calvinist as long as they don't start teaching Catholic dogma which they aren't suppose to its possible your exposing the loopholes in calvins theology and you see the direction it is going we as protestants should remain opposed to anything that opposes the 5 solas as that's what we believe true Christianity is not some fake garbage that causes you to.sell indulgences and burn people on a stake

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Romans 1:28, how do you relate with John 3:16. John 3:16 is true but people don't want to retain God in their knowledge. You should know better and have harmony. We love people of letters to change than to lie to please them.

LGBTQ+ sinners saved same way as non-LGBTQ+ sinners!! Gods grace is better than any so called human merit or religious works malarkey.

Romans 10:9-10 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

I think Jesus left out specific sins on purpose,except the love of money,I quit drinking and drugging 20 something years ago at salvation,are those sins greater than being gay ? Who knows,im still working on that log in my own eye,hard to see with parts still in there

It is harmful to promote cheap grace... Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:6‭-‬14 ESV

Genesis 19:4-5 “Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.’” To know them carnally is, of course, a euphemism for having sex with them. The mob of men wanted to rape them! The attempted rape continues as they try to force their way into Lot’s house And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.”

so than why God is saying that all these people who continue to live those life styles will burn in the lake of fire ? Is not true that when we know Christ we will realize our sins and be able to stop them ?

Yes we might not be able to earn Christian salvation through repentance, but I think its going too far to say just live any old way and you will be OK?????🔥🔥🔥🔥.... the bible has warnings too for believers that cannot just be ignored or explained away.

If the sacrificial blood of the Eternal God is not enough, then none of us will make it. No matter how righteous we think we are, there will always be that one little thing that we let slide and it is that one thing that makes us unrighteous in God's eyes if we are depending on our obedience and law keeping to get into the kingdom. Should we be growing in the knowledge of the Lord? Absolutely. But we will fail because of our fleshly desires. This victory is not an instantaneous moment. Our growth in the ways of the Lord should be continual but we will always miss the mark.

What does it mean to endure to the end? Well; it's obvious everyone lives untill they die. Therefore all are saved. Before you think I'm contradicting myself by a previous comment; we don't have to be saved to go to Heaven....just forgiven. Saved means you know you e been forgiven. Christ died for the forgiveness of every person. All therefore are forgiven. All; obviously; don't realize this.

@ 1:06...a person doesn't need to acknowledge/admit that they're SINNERS?

they were so transparent we now know the enemy

You forgot one little thing... FAITH WITHOUT WORKS " IS DEAD " !!

Transgender is just a polite way of saying demon possession.

So this guy is the only right preacher? Very undividing just to be loved by the world.

I wouldn't call that Born Again ,or a true conversion, with no repentance. Yes God Loves us even as sinners, but he doesn't want us to stay that way in our sin. Think. Can You Be a Christian on Sunday, and be a Hitman for the mob on Monday and still be saved just because you belived Jesus was the son of God? You sir are in error.

1st Corinthians 6:11. Teacher take this up with God for you are teaching contrary to God's word. Such were some of you.

Our Heavenly Father God is a holy righteous judge and can’t wink at sin. By God’s grace we are saved through the cruel cross where Jesus Christ took the punishment that we deserved. But we have a free will to accept that free gift of Salvation. That means to repent, no longer living for self but after the things of God, according to His word the Bible. Jesus didn’t die on the cross for us to continue living a sinful lifestyle as we did before we were born again. There is something seriously wrong with our walk if we are not moved to change our ways, whatever the sinful practice was. We are always to strive to follow Christ’s example. God is the same, yesterday, forever He hasn’t changed His moral laws they still apply today. Jesus said if you love me, you will follow the will of My Father, as in His commandments and laws. “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God”. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) As with false prophets in the Bible they were popular because they told the people what they wanted to hear, a feel good message. God’s true prophets were hated because nobody wanted to hear the truth of the matter that God hates all sin. Those who don’t preach the whole counsel of God in or out of season, popular or not, will be held accountable for leading people astray. BUT the good news is that no matter what we have done or how far from God’s grace we have fallen there is a way to be part of God’s family and have the peace, joy, love and assurance of where we will spend eternity, that is to own up and tell God we have sinned, thank Jesus Christ for dying in our place and ask for His daily help to live a new life. Then enjoy a future now and for all eternity in His new kingdom. “And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (V11). They were homosexual, thieves, drunkards etc BUT NO MORE!! Doesn’t mean we don’t fall at times, or struggle but we know that when we are tempted or start to fall, Christ Jesus is there at the bottom to lift us up.!!🙏🥰. Taking up our cross and following Jesus isn’t easy, that’s why He said narrow is the way, to run the race and finish well. Many are called but few are chosen. Many will hate this message I speak He doesn’t desire anyone to perish neither do I, but this isn’t my word it’s from God’s Word, and He is not man that He should lie.🥰🙏

When you truly understand what you are doing is sin and you need a savior because you cant fix it on your own come to Jesus in submission to him. Surrender totally to him and accept him and you will transformed in newness of life as it says in Romans 6:21. How can you be truly sorry for your sins and still put them above your Lord and savior? Cast down idols (which can be practices) that go against his word. Accept him and submit to him. Let him abide in you and protect you. Step by step praying to be drawn closer to God. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 The time will come when people will turn away from truth to seek pastors who pervert the word of God to make people feel good about their sin. Like this man who tells you unrepentant sin has nothing to do with salvation. Jesus loves you and I love you, please understand this man left out many parts of scripture that deal with repentance and take a moment to look into it. Don't stop your journey to God here with this video. There is so much more. Keep searching for the truth and make sure its backed up by scripture.

Actually, the "gospel" is not an "invitation", rather, it is a declaration or proclamation that ALL are saved in Christ. Virtually all of Christianity believes that people must make a "decision" before dying. That is not true, otherwise, countless millions who never heard of Him would be lost, and the father DESIRES that no one is lost. "Scripture" even states that the Father WILL make all his desires come to pass!. God has no time limit on how long it takes to change a person with HIS love. The bottom line is that none will perish because ALL have been made alive with Christ and will realize it and bow their knee in gratitude in this life or beyond. No one can resist the love of God when it is revealed to them. Peace.

John 3:16 doesn't say, "will not perish".😳😱 It says, (SHOULD not ) perish, but have everlasting life. Big difference🤔. You can believe in Jesus and still go to hell. Change is evidence of being born and. Speaking in tongues isn't evidence of anything. You shouldn't go to to hell if you believe in Jesus, but you could, if God ordained works of righteousness don't accompany your belief/faith, it means that your faith is dead and isn't faith at all and cannot save you. If a person doesn't turn from sin, they are a child of the devil. 1John 3:10. I didn't say that if a person sins, they are a child of the devil. I said, if anyone says they're a Christian and doesn't do stop living a sinful lifestyle and turn from sin, they are a child of Satan. Read 1 John 3

So the woman who was caught in adultery did not have to stop sinning because she believed? But Jesus told her to go and sin no more.

John 3:16 cannot be used, mutually exclusively, without considering the implications of Romans 1. And the 3rd Commandment, ie God's Name. The Hebrews believed, you cannot say things, that are untrue, about YHWH. LGBT's can claim John 3:16, whilst struggling, with Romans 1. Yes, YHWH, forgives. That is a horrible, defeated life to live....

Jesus. Said the wages of sin is death, unless you repent you will die in your sins. Our God is a holy God, he hates sin. Don’t listen to these false preachers. Read your BIBLE and you will find what Jesus says about it.

God didn't create people of letters, they made themselves. I hope you don't think murderers are made like that.

What about LGBT people who say homosexuality is not a sin? If you are telling God what he calls sin is not sin, then you can’t be covered in His blood for ALL of your sins. Only some of them. The sin of homosexuality is not covered, and you are presented to the Lord as only, at best, as partially covered. A partially covered person isn’t guiltless before the Lord. Please someone explain why this line of thinking is incorrect?

Believe in Jesus.

WOW. Teach people how to read the Bible. The Bible is not hard. The "smart people are the ones that know the truth" and the only ones that can read the Bible and tell you what it means. Learn to read it slowly and in context. Read each Gospel. And each letter. Learn the basics. What is the Gospel. Mat 4:23. What did the Jews understand when Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of he kingdom. Learn what is the trinity. Really understand the deity of the trinity.

Bob believes that you can be a homosexual and still be saved, no repentance. Bob believes you are saved by faith alone and he believes in OSAS, so if you believe and you are a homosexual, Bob believes you are saved.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Acts 5:30-32 (KJV) The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. You are a straight up liar

Romans one seems to disagree with you , dont throw things that are holy to the dogs or cast your pearls before swine , beware of the dogs , lest you be reprobate .

by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ the same as everyone else through Christ

Faith in Jesus Christ is what saves you. Not works of the Law. The Bible is crystal clear on this Lordship Salvation is nothing new. It has been around since the Apostle Paul, which he addressed in the book of Galatians. Please read.... ‭Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Galatians‬ ‭3:2‭-‬3‬ ‭ Paul is calling out Lordship Salvation, a false gospel that was popular back then and is still popular today. It is a serious error that is taught by false teachers like John McArthur, John Piper, Paul Washer, Steve Lawson, and many other false teachers; it sounds biblical and is accepted uncritically, and has infected churches everywhere. I'm sure you've heard of this manifestation of Lordship Salvation before.... ...We are justified by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone.... [Or, as the pastor at Redeemer Bible church teaches the same proposition using different words, ("it is true that God's grace in a mans life inevitability results in obedience")] Let's unpack this man-made theological statement; I will demonstrate the false gospel imbedded in it. I will refer to Galatians 2:2-3 in parentheses, translating the statement above according the inspired Word of God.... 1. ‭"We are justified by faith alone.... (recieved the Spirit by hearing with faith), 2. ...but not by a faith that is alone ("Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?) Galatians‬ ‭3:2‭-‬3‬ ‭ Paul is basically correcting the Galatians who became Christians by faith in Jesus Christ, but fell into serious error after being taught by false teachers, the Judeizers, that they must finish their salvation by works; a hybrid of faith in Jesus Christ melded together with obedience to the Law. Sound familiar? Incredibly, this false gospel is still around today, popularized by the notion that there must be works in the life of a professing Christian. They must persevere, they must be obedient, they must submit to the Lordship of Christ, they must do more and try harder, and if these works are not present in the life of a professing Christian, then they are not a Christian. The end result of this is that you become a Pharisee, and your focus is on you and your works and not upon the finished work of Jesus Christ. Under Lordship Salvation YOU become worried that YOU are not doing enough works to prove YOUR justification, which leads to YOUR despair. Therefore, YOU must do more and try harder, YOU must be obedient to God's Laws, YOU must serve God more, and YOU must persevere to the end. And when YOU finally succeed, then YOU become proud of YOUR efforts, that Is, until YOU begin to worry again that YOU are not doing enough works, and YOU are not serving God enough to prove YOUR justification, so again, YOU must do more and try harder.....and it goes on and on in an endless cycle of pride and despair. This was my experience under Lordship Salvation. Do you see how Lordship Salvation is bondage to the Law of God, (obedience) and not freedom from the Law by faith in Jesus Christ? Again, in Galatians the Apostle Paul reminds us that we who have faith in Jesus Christ are no longer under the curse of the Law...... ‭Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us-for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”-so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith. Galatians‬ ‭3:13‭-‬14‬ We are free from the Laws demands on us by faith in Jesus Christ.... For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 The Apostle Paul issues a stern warning against anyone who seek to be justified by their obedience to the Law.... You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. Galatians‬ ‭5:4‬ The Jewish people in Jesus's day were broken and laboring under the Pharisees and their strict demands to follow all of their man made rules. The modern day Pharisees of today who teach Lordship Salvation are essentially doing the same thing as the Pharisee of old. Jesus didn't make such demands. He only requires faith in Him, opposing all of the false gospels demanding repentance from sins and obedience to the Law for one's justification.... ‭ Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew‬ ‭11:28‭-‬30‬ ‭ We are either justified by faith or justified by works, and the two can not be mixed. The Apostle Paul in Galatians made this abundantly clear. Its all or nothing. The Bible teaches over and over that we are justified/saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law. If you can not accept the utter simplicity of the Gospel, and that you must prove your salvation with your obedience to God's Laws, then you are ignoring God's Word that salvation is by faith alone. You are believing a false gospel of faith PLUS something else. Again, please read God's Word... And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Romans 4:5 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. Galatians 2:21 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 3:28 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” Galatians 3:11 And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith- Philippians 3:9 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans‬ ‭10:4‬ Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:16 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20 ‭For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Romans‬ ‭4:2‭-‬3‬ ‭ if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31 Can you please explain to me how the absence of obedience in the life of a professing Christian who has faith in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law is not saved? Please reply 🎉

By repenting, and believing in Jesus, and overcoming their sin! OSAS- 3 verses in the Bible say your name can be blotted out of the book of life; Psalm 69:28, revelation 3:5, 22:19! Never receiving Jesus is not the only way to go to hell Says Matthew 7:21-23 ; verse 23 ‘away from me I never knew you’ does not apply to everybody, Jesus says this twice in verses 21 and 22! “Not everyone will say to me (on that day)……., yes many will say…..” If OSAS was true he would’ve said “everyone and all” instead of “not everyone and Many”! So not everyone will go to hell based on never knowing Jesus, and other verses will back this up as well! you can no longer use Matthew 7:23 or say they were never saved to begin with! Same with 2 Peter 2 “after knowing the Lord, they went back into their vomit as a dog; or back into the mud as a pig wallowing in the mud”. The word ‘knowing’ is the same word in Matthew 7:23, it’s ‘ginosko’ in the Greek- it’s a salvific relationship with Jesus! So you can lose your salvation, says this verse as well! 2 Peter 2:20 “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning!” THEY ARE ENTANGLED IN THE CORRUPTION OF THE WORLD…AGAIN- says this verse! Jude 12 - “twice dead”; Dead in sin, born again, dead again! And there’s many more; Revelation chapters 2 & 3 are full of ultimatums and all Jesus is focused on is our works! Revelation 2: 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place! Revelation 2:14 there are some among you….. 16 Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. These are just 2 and Jesus says “he who overcomes” , Overcomes is present - future tense, and Jesus says this to all 7 churches even the 2 good ones! You have to stay faithful to the end of your life to go to heaven! John 3:16 is he who continues to believe will have eternal life! it doesn’t say ‘believed’ past tense, you have to maintain your faith to go to heaven! The Greek word ‘believes’ is ‘Pistis’ which basically means faithfulness so faith equals faithfulness, according to the Bible! So if you have problems with this, then you have problems with the word of God, the Bible! You need to study these passages so that you can make it to heaven! If your pastor cannot answer these questions according to what I just said, then you need to leave that church!

I believe salvation is a free gift of grace. I have a problem with using that gift as a license to continue in a sinful lifestyle. The false apostle Judas walked with Jesus in the flesh and was given the power to heal people. He was never saved. He was one of the original 12 disciples. People would have seen him as being no different than Peter or the rest of the disciples. He proclaimed the same message they did. Yet he never changed in his heart. He still loved money more than anything else. I believe gay people are the same as everyone else but if they don't change inside what have they really done but repeat a passage in the bible?

Jesus said "go and sin no more".

Once you believe on Jesus Christ death for the penalty of sins ,burial and resurrection on 3rd day, we are saved. There is no work that I had to do before salvation and no work after salvation to affects my eternal life. It is truly everlasting. I am saved from homosexuality, occult, and sins Period. I still struggle with sin, but it doesn't mean that I have lost my salvation. If it was based on my work, it was no point in Jesus doing His complete work on the cross, burial, and rose again. He did all the work, and I didnt do anything but believe. I have changed tremendously meaning new creature not because of me but because of Him who sits on the right hand of the Father.
