@@BibleLine how do you get around the parable of the wheat and the tares? Christ specifically says there are people who are born again and in the Church His people (wheat) and then the devil comes and sows people into the Church that confess Christ but don’t know Him (tares) and to be careful dealing with them all because you don’t wanna hurt the wheat (His people) while ripping out tares (false converts). He says he will judge the tares and throw them in the fire at the end of time. Tares confess Christ with their lips and however their heart was never changed. Side note from the agricultural world which makes the parable even more potent is ,wheat and tares look almost identical except for slight differences….. Matthew 13 if you need to look at it….

@Jayred05 This parable is based off the initial parable of the seed, sower and soil. The wheat is wheat because they received the word. To receive the word is to believe (as Luke’s account provides). The Tares are sown by the enemy, and this is likened to those whom Satan “catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.” These individuals heard the word, but they do not believe it. Even the stony and thorny soil are saved because they received the word. The parable thereafter is regarding the present reality of believers (wheat) being mixed with unbelievers (tares). Verses 38-43 of Matthew 13 even explain the parable further. We can cross reference these passages with clear passages such as John 3, Ephesians 2, Romans 3-5 and others to see that the point can mean no other. Salvation is free to all who believe. You are then “wheat,” and you are capable of bearing fruit. Hence John 15 and 1 John 1-5 we are to abide in the vine. - Trent

@@BibleLine uh huh I knew you wouldn’t have a good explanation. Why does it say in the parable of the seed and the sower nothing grows, it’s plucked out, or can’t grow in the stony soil.

the Bible teaches that when someone understands the Gospel, and believes it, ......it is a done deal. By doing so, you believe it in your heart and are then sealed with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of eternal life. This is also what true Biblical repentance is, in that you accept this free gift from Jesus to pay for your sins, and that you can't get to heaven on own merit. Why do people make it so complicated? 1 Jo 5:13 -> We can KNOW we have eternal life. It is all by faith in Christ.

To those upset by this message: Some hide behind their "righteousness," believing that their deeds-whether it's missionary work, helping the poor, tithing, or personal sacrifices-are what save them. They think others must follow the same difficult path they did. But the truth is, JESUS made salvation easy for all-rich and poor, strong and weak, smart and simple-minded alike. Jesus did it all for us. He died on the cross, spilling His blood to atone for our sins (past, present, and future), and rose again three days later. Our only requirement is to believe in Him and His sacrifice. Jesus calls us to become "as little children" (Matthew 18:3), accepting the gift of salvation freely and without overthinking it. I am no better than you, and you are no better than me. Put your confidence, faith, hope, and love in Jesus, who did the work so we could come to Him with the simple, free faith of a child. My hope isn't in my actions or sacrifices, but in the blessed work of Jesus. Remember, with man it is impossible, but with God, everything is possible.

Absolutely love these videos I was a preschool teacher for years and kept in contact with a few families. One family has 2 girls now 7 and 10 that both completed the two year pre k course I taught. I had invited them to church awhile ago and then was able to sit down and discuss the gospel with the parents. The mom was raised Baptist and stated she had accepted Christ years ago. The dad came out of the LDS faith and I believe he also has accepted the true Christ as his Savior although despite being deeply wounded by the Mormon church. Thor two girls have repeatedly voiced interest in Jesus and getting baptized. I have had various conversations with the mom ( because the girls are influenced by the kids in school and around here where it’s heavily LDS. ) to make sure she explains the biblical gospel and role of baptism ( for a testimony of faith not to be saved ) I recently got a text from her that a church they are wanting to attend is doing baptisms and they told her that the girls could get baptized as long as they had put faith in Christ. So she reached out to me. I sent her a couple biblically sound articles on discussing salvation and baptism to children. She just contacted me this morning to say that she sat the girls down and discussed it all with them and they both wanted to be saved …. the one ( younger ) asked to say a prayer out loud and the older one who is shy asked to go say a prayer in her room by herself. The joy of having them choose to put their individual faith in Christ is a feeling that is indescribable. I reassured the mom that they came to Christ with that childlike faith and God accepted it and their names are now forever writing the Lamb’s Book of Life. I also sent her some of your short teachings on assurance, salvation vs service and a few others for encouragement. I wanted you to know how much this channel and its correct gospel doctrine has not only helped me but that I have used it many times to share with others. Today is a special day because 2 new people were added to God’s family and it’s amazing ✝️🙏

After his "The Blood of Jesus doesn't save" speech he gave I just call him a heretic. I very very rarely use the word heretic like at all, its not a word I throw around. But diluting the Blood and re-defining the meaning of faith bc he thinks he meets his own subjective standards (God's standard is Perfection) and causing confusion (of which God is Not the author) these Lordship Salvationists lower God's standard to what they think they meet and look down on those who don't measure up. They shut up the Kingdom of Heaven when they themselves don't even enter. It's heresy. Salvation is so simple a child can understand. Jesus even said with the Faith of a child. But when you start adding and mudding up the clear Gospel waters of Salvation that a child doesn't understand you've already screwed up. God made it Clear and Simple, man will do whatever man can do to make it Muddy and Complicated. If the person can't even get Salvation right just turn the other way. -Acts 16:30-31

DOMINION, noun [Latin See Dominant.] 1. Sovereign or supreme authority; the power of governing and controlling. God is over all. He is the God of Calvinistic Fatalism. Dominion is a synonym for Sovereignty of which God delegated that Sovereignty to Humanity and thus when we rebell and/or misuse said responsibility we are guilty for that. God has chosen to do it His way because He ultimately has the first and the last say in what is right or wrong. Psa 115:3 KJV But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Psa 115:15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. Calvinists talk about themselves, their changed lives, or how thankful they are to be the elect of God chosen arbitrarily over others. When you listen to them talk just like with MacArthur they point ultimately to themselves. Not Jesus or His promises and definitely not Jesus's personal and Universal love for All humanity which the bible clearly expresses so well a 6 yr old can get it. But not when one's eyes are blinded by self righteous pride and gnostic philosophy which is exactly where Calvinism came from through Augustine. Nowhere does the Bible teach that mankind can not or lacks the ability to trust God. From Adam all the way forward even after man's fall Adam could and did respond to God. It's the essence of sin being rebelling while having the ability to obey. Salvation is simple I Know Without a doubt I am saved is because Jesus promised to me the free gift of Eternal life and entrance into His family if I will trust in Him to do that for me. Jesus can not lie and He is God the Son who will keep His word to me and to All who will likewise do so. Nothing about what I do or don't do factors into His faithfullness to do what He said. Calvinists focus on self. Not solely on the Son of God. Hence it is a self centered ideology from foundation up..

This cant be because His covenant also means intercession or mediation between God and His people. So He's interceding for those in hell? He failed to forgive them?

@@DanielBShaw You've been taught a lie and you've believed it. What you've said is not found in Scripture. Covenant = intercession. God's covenant with His people started before the foundation of the earth, this is what the book of Ephesians says (Eph. 1:3-6). God chose His elect in the Beloved (Jesus Christ), Jesus Christ pays for their sins (the basis of His covenant is His blood), He intercedes for them even before they are justified (Hebrews 7:25), and the Holy Spirit effectuates this salvation onto His elect people in His chosen time throughout history and none of His elect are lost. In His timing, the Holy Spirit regenerates His elect, justifies them in Christ and grants them the gifts of repentance and faith. The only way a person can believe is if the Lord grants him that belief (Romans 8:6-8). This is why salvation begins in God and ends in Him (Romans 11:36). Your understanding of salvation is from man's perspective and not God. Your belief is no different from what the RCC preaches and teaches.

Stop saying 'saving faith'. Faith is not what saves a person but the object of faith that saves a person. You can have all the faith in world and if it is in anything or something other than Jesus as God & Savior, you will not be saved. Calvinist believe that saving faith is given to a person by God thus they use the phrase 'saving faith'. The adjective word 'saving' describes 'faith'. Give a clear free grace gospel. Say salvation is by grace through faith. Show me the phrase 'saving faith' in the Bible. You won't find it.

I listen to many pastors and teachers of God’s word on KZitem. I greatly appreciate your insight and love of Jesus while sharing the gospel. I grew up Southern Baptist, my dad was my pastor and though he is no longer able to preach he is still my favorite teacher. All of that said, I always worried about my salvation. I continually fight with my sin nature. I was, am, and will continue to be a sinner unworthy of God’s love and sacrifice. In watching your video series reviewing the once saved always saved video I heard several comments from the teachers on the video basically saying that they live sin free lives. I was struck thinking how much more faith and what a stronger relationship with God they must have than Adam and Eve. They walked with God in the garden and still sinned against God. They got to talk with God and still sinned. I don’t mean to sling arrows at anyone, I just believe it’s disingenuous to proclaim how perfectly they follow God’s law as imperfect humans. If I misinterpreted what they were saying I apologize for not fully understanding what they meant.

What is it that we have to do to be saved forgiveness of all sin and have eternal life? The gospel of our salvation is in 1st Corinthians 15 1-4 believe. Believe and trust Jesus that he died for our sins was buried and resurrected for our justification. There is nothing else nothing more never by performance works trun from sin which is a work we can trun from some not all it's a free gift and you cannot lose it. For those who think you can lose your salvation or say you can. If that was true then salvation was never Eternal to begin with. And also not a gift and had to work for it which is impossible. Believe the gospel of Christ before it's too late. 1st Corinthians 15 1-4

Wow! How sad what some posted here in response to me .. I do not appreciate being accused of disrespecting or de -emphasizing the awesome grace of God or being accused of serving a false Jesus especially by anyone who says they’re also a believer. I posted about those two little girls because it was such a wonderful thing that they got saved because they each made their own personal decision to do so. What if they hadn’t, do I tell their mom well, they aren’t of the elect ? What if one accepted and one didn’t??? Do I tell their mom that God chose one for heaven and the other for hell and so just know that’s how His Sovereign will works?? So I’m sorry but at least you’ll be with one in eternity so focus on that because he at least picked one of them. Sorry about the other one. This apparent that there’s much anger about people having free will arguing that people who accept Christ is because God’s sovereignty. Yes he’s sovereign but this does not negate individual choice and culpability for what a person does with the gospel when it’s presented to them. ANYONE can be a WHOSOEVER . God is not willing that any should perish and if they do , it is because they CHOSE TO REJECT the offer to be a whosoever. And if that’s bold of me then so be it because I boldly proclaim what scripture teaches about salvation. I am a whosoever, those 2 girls are whosoevers and it’s because of God’s grace that anyone can be one too. What a shame to make false accusations against a person and twist scripture to do so. And if the following is offensive then that’s how you chose to take it: Calvinism is a narcissistic evil in many aspects and its teachings are an affront to who Jesus is and what he came for and T- depraved but able to hear and respond Jeremiah 33:3 James 4:8 Matthew 7:7,8 Hebrews 7:25 John 5:24 I Peter 3:18 (all people are unjust and all may through Jesus be reconciled ) U- whosoever includes anyone Romans 10:13 John 3:16 ( shocker 🙄) John 11:25 L- died for ALL I Timothy 2:4 II Peter 3:9 I John 2:2 II Corinthians 5:14 Acts 10:34 I - choose OR reject Joshua 24:15 Matthew 10:32,33 John 1:11 I Samuel 10:19 Luke 17:25 P- preservation not perseverance John 10:28 I John 5:13 II Corinthians 1:22 Philippians 1:6 Romans 11:6 ( saved and kept saved BY grace, NOT works ) Ephesians 1:13 I Corinthians 1:8 And …. I know who I have believed and am persuaded that HE IS ABLE to keep that WHICH I’VE COMMITTED until Him against that day. II Timothy 1:12 So many verses can be applicable in debunking all of TULIP . But what happens is verses are twisted mean they are speaking to the elect as they interject only themselves into verses to try and counter what is clearly stated. They redefine God’s will , take predestination out of context to mean God chooses vs it being what is determined for ANY who believe, add works to God’s grace, faithfulness and promises to interject this wrongful assumption that they contribute to salvation and so on. If I didn’t trust in God and HIS WORD , some of the clearly Calvinistic laced replies to me would’ve ruined what was a joyful event that happened today. But nope, the hour and a half I just to type this comment and search the Bible in all its CLEAR TRUTH just strengthened my faith even more and it’s a faith that has grown stronger over the years and you know what ???? It started as the faith of a child…. The same faith these two precious girls had today and is clearly the type of faith we are told to come to Jesus with. To anyone else who CHOOSES to comment ( hey , because we all have a free will choice 😂to do so ) will not be responded to . This has become very draining and simply for sharing that 2 new people were adopted into His family because they made the decision to be adopted !! Oh how wonderful The Savior is , My Savior, and anyone’s for that matter decides to be a whosoever ❤️✝️

If I might say something… I cane to realize that sharing the gospel has become difficult in the sense that so many have a misperception and misunderstanding of what it takes to be saved. The simple gospel , that a child can grasp , has been added to adulterating it so that it has not only become complicated but leaves people confused and without peace.

Here's another thing he considers: *And I [John] saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. Revelation 20:12 (NKJV)*

How do these modern day Pharisees explain their Lordship salvation? By one contradiction after another. Quote. "The gift of God is eternal life, but it will cost you everything." According to them, Jesus died for nothing, and we can save ourselves. Galatians 2:21. I do not void the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ died for nothing. And that is what they believe. Jesus died for nothing, and we can save ourselves. Like, who needs a savior anyway. Quote by John MacArthur in his book, "Hard to be saved". It is not the words we speak, but the life "WE" live, that determines our eternal destiny. Matthew 7:15. Who are the wolves in sheep's clothing? Those that preach another gospel. Not 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. Galatians 1:6-9. Romans 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to EVERYONE that BELIEVETH, to the Jew First, and also to the Greek. Second Peter 3:16. They wrest the scriptures as others do unto their own destruction. First John 2:2. And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. But. John 3:18. They preach discipleship in place of the free gift of eternal life. Should we discipline ourselves? Yes, but not for salvation, but because we are saved. The gift of God is eternal life. No one can earn it. He has IMPUTED His perfect righteousness to our account. Romans 4:6. Without His perfect righteousness no one will be saved. His Grace covers us from all sin. Romans 5:19-21. Colossians 2:13. He has forgiven us ALL trespasses. I love my wife of 65 years, but that will not get me to heaven. First Corinthians 2:14. But the natural man, Unbeliever, 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. Ephesians 1:13-14. Ephesians 4:30. First John 5:13. These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. John 3:16. Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it. Second Corinthians 9:15. Paul rebuked Peter for showing partiality between the Jewish converts and the Gentiles. You are just doing what you are supposed to do Jesse. Sorry for the long windedness. My 83 year old fingers never know where to quit.

One thing that causes many struggles is the misunderstanding on who is called to do what. Are we all called to be evangelists? Preachers? Disciples? Apostles? No. It's believed that everyone Christ encountered during his earthly ministry were called to be his disciples, and by extension, all who now hear the Gospel, the same. But that is not true. The woman at the well, the blind man, the Roman general, etc. None of them were called to follow Christ until His sacrifice was complete, in order to be saved. They were saved by their faith in Christ. The disciples who endured until the end, when Christ said "It is finished" are saved. The ones who did not endure, are not. It was not until Christ completed His work that the free gift of salvation was offered to all who had ears to hear. Paul never said "Hear me Gentiles, now that you are saved, in order to stay saved you must become disciples to prove to me you are saved" I was saved approximately 6 months before I met my wife, almost 10 years ago. I was able to help her find salvation and leave the Catholic Church. Do I doubt her salvation because she left me 21 days ago and is continually saying brutal things almost every time she breaks silence? No. I am conformed to the image of Christ when God looks upon me. Of that, I am certain. My wife clearly does not see this image in me. Does that mean I am not saved? She thinks it does. Now I'm being forced into discipleship counseling , not to save this marriage, no, no. She has no intention of that. It's to prove, when I fail, that the grace of God has not been, and will never br bestowed upon me. And even though Paul commanded believers to stay with their unbelieving spouses, save for abandonment or fornication, she has every intention to prove she is Holy, and I am not and that she is completely justified in leaving and taking our children with her. Is this a trial MacArthur was speaking to? No. I'm not qualified to be an elder, and never will be. Yet many will believe I am called to be an image bearer of Christ....I am called to be a father, a husband, and a worker for Christ yes, but a worker who shares his testimony of salvation, not one who raises other disciples. My faith is the measure that Christ has given me. It is unwavering nonetheless.

That's why He sent them only to Jews, not to Gentiles. Israel is to be the light unto the Gentiles. Israel is to be the salt of the earth. Israel is to be a kingdom of Priests. The whole earth will be blessed through Israel. The great multitude of Rev 7 are those who come to Christ through Israel (the 144,000). That isn't the Body of Christ Church.

John the Baptist didn't question his ministry in jail. We know this because Jesus Christ proves it by what He says about John in Matthew 11:7-15, and Jesus says that he was not lacking of or weak in faith. If you're not believing on Christ in the active sense, moment to moment, situation to situation then you have a dead faith, period. How do I know? I was a false convert for 24 years of my life. I was self deceived and held to the false gospel of easy believism, free grace, cheap grace. When I was saved by the Lord more than 6 years ago He opened my eyes and made me to understand the true nature of saving faith, and its active, its continual, it brings about action and it doesn't crumble under pressure and trials, because its rooted in God and not in man. I know all of this because I was in darkness at one point in my life (when I held to cheap grace gospel) and now Im in Christ, the Light itself. If you believe in this false gospel or teach it then you're not saved. You need to be born again. You need to repent and believe in the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

@@Jayred05 I have watched a lot of those types of pastors, like John Macarthur, Paul Washer, Steve Lawson, Tim Conway. I find them very convicting, but I've also been doubting my salvation and struggling with it. I think I need to spend more time in the word with God than on KZitem haha

But what about all the scriptures that counter this? Like " examine yourself to see if you are truly in the Faith?" Or " many will come to me on judgement day......." Or why were Ananias n Saphirus taken out for lying? Surely yes only the Blood of Christ can save...but accepting this results in being indwelt by the power of the Holy Spirit and able " to resist the Devil and he will flee" Finally what about Mark 16 as the answer to Mc Arthurs question?

Faith is not a gift of God but it was given to us or delivered to all the saints thus by His grace we are saved through faith in Christ. To God be all the glory! Jude 1:3 Dear friends, I wanted very much to write to you about the salvation we all share together. But I felt the need to write to you about something else: I want to encourage you to fight hard for the faith that God gave (delivered) his holy people. God gave this faith once, and it is good for all time. 2 Peter 1:1 Greetings from Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ. To all of you who share (have obtained) in the same valuable faith that we have. This faith was given to us because our God and Savior Jesus Christ always does what is good and right. Romans 12:3 God has given me a special gift, and that is why I have something to say to each one of you. Don’t think that you are better than you really are. You must see yourself just as you are. Decide what you are by the faith God has given each of us.

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Lk 22:31-32. Did the Devil get Peter or desire him?? Did Satan sift Peter like wheat or did he want to?? -- Clarifying this as that's not what was said at the beginning of this video!!

CLV 1C 15:1 Now I am making known to you, brethren, the evangel which I bring to you, which also you accepted, in which also you stand, CLV 1C 15:2 through which also you are saved, if you are retaining what I said in bringing the evangel to you, outside and except you believe feignedly. CLV 1C 15:3 For I give over to you among the first what also I accepted, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, CLV 1C 15:4 and that He was entombed, and that He has been roused the third day according to the scriptures, CLV Eph 1:13 In Whom you also on hearing the word of truth, the evangel of your salvation in Whom on believing also, you are sealed with the holy spirit of promise CLV Eph 1:14 (which is an earnest of the enjoyment of our allotment, to the deliverance of that which has been procured) for the laud of His glory!

Jesus was with God in the beginning, he was born of the virgin Mary. He died on the Cross and broke the power of Death and Hell when Jesus said " it is finished ". Jesus death paid the sins of everyone who puts their faith in the finished work of the cross. I don't know 100% that predestination is not a thing, but I do not like it because while you are sealed, there are those that cannot and will not and never could be saved. Which means that there is no point in spreading the Gospel, telling people about Christ because God doesn't need anything of us, we cannot give anything to God and therefore he will save who he will because he will. "free will" coming to Christ puts the onus on the individual to come to Christ... and besides Jesus said to whosoever believeth in me shall not perish but have ever lasting life. And from what I recall there was no * stating * only those the Father choose to come to me will put their faith in me. Although it does say that no one comes to Christ unless the Father draw him.... BUT I do not think that speaks to predestination

When you look on yourself as an indicator for the test of salvation anything is possible. Honestly, cannot an unsaved person have "love but not perfect love", "humility but not perfect humility", "obedience but not perfect obedience"? An unsaved person can do these things and appear to be saved or religious. Perhaps this is why John Calvin teaches that you could have a false salvation sent from God. All of this stuff is wild. It is the heart of Augustinian Predestination, not the Bible.

Only Christ ever perfectly fulfilled the law. For those who believe they are able to maintain perfect obedience dont understand the spiritual depth of the law of God.

@@TheHillrat4wd 90 percent of churches are Arminian aka charismatic/pentecostal these days what are you talking about? Use scripture not your feelings here I got a “Calvinist” verse for you ,….”just as He CHOSE us in Him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD before Him in love , He PREDESTINED us to ADOPTION as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intentions of HIS will”…. Ephesians 1 4:5. Boom. Do children adopt themselves? Were you there before the foundation of the world? Do you chose or predestine yourself? There’s far more where that came from. People don’t understand Calvinism ,it’s jsut biblical Christianity.

Charles Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards were Calvinists. I trust them and the Apostle Paul more than you. Macarthur was saying people who walk away from the Lord at the first sign of trouble didn't have true faith in Christ. Peter and John the Baptist did not walk away from the Lord so your comparison is bogus.

Pharisees 2.0 but with the Jesus twist. They preach the good news but then eventually it comes out “you must follow the law, I do”. Folks the law was designed to show you that you absolutely will fail every time. So therefore God did the work for you, he said “I will remember your sins no more” and the reason he did it is so that the Holy Spirit can now reside in us forever otherwise every time we sin He would depart. THE SIN ISSUE IS OVER. All you have to do is trust God, Jesus. These preachers want to have a hand in their salvation, its narcissistic.

Macarthur is false as is this pastor both are basing their beliefs on manmade doctrine tulip osas etc. One is calvinism one is calvinism lite. One takes away your free will to not be saved because God oredetermined it before creation the other simpmy moves the time to ehen you first believe. Both are wrong. You are saved based in your current belief not pass belief or predestination

My friend, you may not like John MacArthur and I have no particular interest in debating the sides of this theological discussion or of who’s right. All I will say is that you misrepresented his statements in quite a number of places. If you want to debate someone’s theology, at least represent their side of the argument correctly.
