Gospel means good news. There are several gospels spoken of in the new testament. The Gospel of salvation ,that Jesus taught ,is not just forgiveness of sins, that’s the benefit that comes with the gospel, good news, that He preached, which is BELIEVING in Him for eternal life. That’s the Gospel of salvation, believing in the Giver , Jesus, for what He offers, the free gift of eternal life to all who believe in Him for it.

What about verses that talk about making your calling and Election sure? Examine yourself, ect. Are those verses worth talking about? There seem to be many who don't serve in the body, don't utilize their spiritual gifts, don't evangelize ( it appears many are in this camp ) , don't lose their lives for the gospel, and you can't even talk about getting out the gospel, making Disciples, ect. The room gets quiet, it seems many want to emphasize grace by doing nothing at all, but saying of course, they are new creatures, have been for a while, but continually show no desire to do much at all. It's even very hard to stir up towards love and good deeds. And you may get a hard answer trying to do so.

Know your audience. Did you know the Corinthians? Did you know the disciples of Jesus? Did you know the Pharisees? The Galatians? The Ephesians? The Thessalonians? Every audience needs specific instructions to address specific needs. This is why we read the Bible & wonder why it appears there is so much contradiction & confusion because we are reading LETTERS written to SPECIFIC people & hearing the teachings of Jesus who taught specific people addressing specific issues. Remember they were all under law. Jesus was trying to transition them into the new covenant of grace & mercy. He was showing them the law is insufficient & condemning & brings death so they would run & cling to the new better covenant. Why does it appear James & Peter & Paul sporadically preach law & judgement in one verse then preach grace & mercy in another? Just like Jesus, they had to show that the new covenant is better. They were showing believers when they were under law & when they were under grace. The point was to always bring them to the realization that grace is better. They may have thought they were under grace, but if they were continuing in sin they were under law & therefore needed to be rebuked & corrected so they would run back to grace. Really it all comes down to love, but we can only love when we are under grace. James 2 & Romans 2-5 helped me tremendously. I now try live in a constant state of mercy & forgiveness & love & long suffering knowing this is who God is & how God is towards me. When a person is NOT living in this state of love & mercy, if you love them you will show them how they are acting as one who is under law, in hopes that they will repent & go back under grace (living in a state of love & mercy).

That we be not unfruitful, maintain good works, leaving our first love, ect. It's not to difficult, especially in our comfortable, lazy, rich age.

In my inner man I delight in the law of God, but I find a law in me me that when I want to do good, evil is always present. If I do that which I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin within my members.” Saints are still living in sinful flesh. It’s the inner man that is changed. The flesh is not sanctified. Saints will still find themselves sinning. The inner man is changed. But not the outer man. Which is why we are called to walk after our new nature, rather than the flesh.

It may also shock you to find out that I'm not trying to represent whatever form of calvinism you hold to.

He never referenced Acts 16 in his comment about our being spiritually “dead in the bottom of the ocean” outside of Christ.” And you, in fact, portrayed it as such (a.k.a. “Trite”). Justin would NEVER say or imply that the necessity of faith in/belief upon Christ is inconsequential or involuntary. Only that the very faith required is granted/given (Eph 2). He was speaking in light of the broader context of the whole of Scripture that teaches that Salvation is SOLELY a work of God (Eph 1-2, John 3,6,10,17, Acts 13, and MANY more…)! Now, you may not agree with that conclusion. No problem, we can agree to disagree.

You have a problem with atonement? Then you have a problem with the word of God: Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life. Who’s blood do you think that’s referring to? Why do you think Christ is called the Lamb? You really have no understanding of the cross over there do you? Why did Christ allow Himself to die if there is no atonement? But I digress. Let me just let the word of God speak: Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, John 4:10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God John 1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” Romans 3:25 Whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. That word “propitiation” refers to substitute or penal atonement.

@@bad_covfefe Let me just speak with scripture. This is sacrificial penal atonement: Isaiah 53:6 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned-every one-to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Penal atonement. Unless of course the Orthodox Church knows better than the prophets.

More False Calvinism and Half Truths

Wasn't Spurgeon a Calvinist? We NEED to defend and preach the true gospel of grace that saves us and keeps us IN the hand of the Father, and nobody can snatch us out. Including self.

That isn't encouraging at all. You have no way to know you are elect. Many have professed faith in Christ and later fell away. You could be one of them. Even Calvin had to acknowledge this problem, and invented the idea of "evanescent grace" to "fix it," wherein God gives people a false sense of being truly elect.

@@bad_covfefe "wherein God gives people a false sense of being truly elect." ??? Say what???. Nowhere in scripture will you find that, no where. I can give plenty of scripture wrecking John Calvin's heresy. John 3:16 for starters destroys limited atonement ONLY for the chosen...Jesus died for THE WORLS, ALL PEOPLE. The following teaching by John refutes "evanescent grace" 1 John 5: 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of [c]God which He has testified of His Son. 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has [d]life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life Calvinism is not only heresy but preaches a false christ with NO POWER and selective love, contrary to the heart and will of God that tells us He takes NO PLEASURE in losing ONE soul.. Stop following men, read the bible seeking truth ...Jeremiah 33:3

Imagine hearing the gospel; that Christ died for you, on your behalf. That Christ is fully the Savior of mankind and needs no help from man to save, and being so angry at the one who presents the truth that you call them sleazy, lying, wolves. Imagine that kind of hatred and hardness of heart. I believe it was that kind of irrational hatred that caused a mob of people to seek to crucify an innocent man…

@@medic4christ777 Amazing truth isn't it? We are saved out of bondage by God. I just commented to someone this exact statement you made. They were telling me how their own reason and rational mind makes calvinism unbiblical. I said that they would be one of the ones calling for Jesus death since he claimed to be God. A totally irrational idea.

I am not Calvinist or Arminian. However, I would not put these guys in the same category as most of the Calvinist I have heard. These guys are plain and simple with the gospel. They don't confuse it with works like many do. I wouldn't label them that way. They have a lot of good material that will help believers rest in Christ via faith alone.

Dreadful theology. I listen to these guys every so often to see if there is any light at the end of their tunnel. There is not. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. So, you have to believe, you have to repent, you have to be baptised and you have to receive the Holy Spirit. Those 4 things will save you. Walking daily in Christ will keep you saved! There is no other scriptural way, despite what these guys preach!

I asked a question on your other vid. I have had a hip replaced and used to struggle with pills. I used heroin a couple times before getting clean 7 yrs. ago. I use medical Marijuana for my pain. It's legal medically and God did make cannibanoid receptors in our bodies and made the plant. We probably shouldn't smoke it but edibles and if we took it orally obeying our laws would it be a sin or a salvation issue?? I just wanted to make sure and ask a godly man and make sure I'm on the right side of this,GODS SIDE!! Thank you

Hi, red pilledcov. I am not from theocast, i am just a fellow brother in Christ. I understand your situation, was on pain medication for many yrs myself. First of all we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Salvation is a free gift and not based on any works. when you believe on Christs finished redemptive work on the cross, your salvation is sealed. Despite what many say, you cannot lose your salvation. Long story short, different drugs can help, but there are always consequences. have more info on this.
