After being in a cult for decades I heard the gospel last year for the first time and I listened to Steve Lawton’s sermon named Who is Jesus Christ, in one hour I found out who Jesus Christ is and gave my life to Him.

@@willpower6720 exactly!! Jesus Christ blood atoned for the sins of the entire world! Meaning every single human being is saveable. Everyone is offered that free gift of eternal life!, but not all will except it...thru faith alone, in christ alone! GOD Doesn't predetermine who goes to hell or heaven! Like calvanist believe, we have no choice in the matter,, and we're just a bunch or robots! That's absurd! He gives us free will to choose to except the free offer or reject it! And of course he knew before we were born who wld except him and who wld reject him! God lives outside of time and space so he knows who will believe the gospel before we even knw.6
@@Erika-g5e I agree that the gift of salvation us available to everyone. However are you sure God knows who is going to accept His offer?? Read Genesis 22:12. Our time-space reality and how angelic beings portal into and out of our world are mysterious. And so is how God interacts in those dimensions. But you’re right God didn’t predetermine every persons eternal state as the Calvinists falsely believe. That’s nonsense.
Dr. Lawson told my story in speaking of discovering the Doctrines of Grace. I was a minister in a Wesleyan-Arminian church and while studying the Scripture began to see that what I had been taught and was teaching wasn't lining up with God's word. It was a life changing, eye opening experience of truly discovering that I didn't really know the Lord at all. God is so gracious and patient and He brought me to an understanding of the truth of His sovereignty, grace, love, mercy, and righteousness. Praise God for His word and the Holy Spirit's revealing of it's truths.
What an amazing God, right? All I've done is sin in my past and He suffered for me to make me free to worship Him-He opened His Word to me and the richness of it never ends.

That's great, I was a Christian raised in a Atheist home and didn't know there was a difference, for me it was a decade ago Pipers "Is God for us or for Himself", this bothered me, but it took me on a journey fighting doctrines of grace because I didn't fully understand it, once I saw the overwhelming scriptures I had to deal with it, so I stepped out on faith not understanding everything, but when I did that God enlightened me, today it's SO BASIC, Arminianism IS heresy, Scripture can only be discerned Spiritually, that is by the Holy Spirit, so somewhat like Edwards I'd stay up all night, had real problems, but once the full tapestry laid itself out and I got it, it became so beautiful
Dr McArthur, thank you for 'safe in the arms of God'. It is such a comfort, and represents the mercy and grace of God. It helped me trust Christ after our baby died. Thank you for faithfully teaching the Scriptures.
Yea... Doctor MacArthur has LITERALLY saved my life! By teaching Me that; Christ had already by Paid My Debt and Ransomed Me! According to the Father God's Good Pleasure! Because of His Great Mercy! He has Mercy upon Whom He Will? And, does Whatever Pleases Him! And, What Pleases Him? Is, To Love! Those, Who Seek Him, and Call on His Name! Who, Love what He Love's; and, Hate what He Hate's...

@@rocketsurgeon1746 and what’s your theology? Everyone has their own theology not one person is in perfect agreement with another and who do you suppose are better “giants”? Your top three pastors will tell a lot about you! Let’s hear them…..
R.C.'s comments from 54:21 forward is what led me to understand that God does not owe me grace. It was then I realized He is sovereign over salvation and gives it to whom He will. I began to see the beauty of God's holiness, and I yearned for Him with a desire that could only originate with Him. I never desired Him until I saw how hopeless I was in saving me, and when by grace He did save me, I loved His sovereignty. By His grace alone I am saved, and I believe! Soli Deo Gloria...

I too was an Aminian until I was in my late 50's, running against the truth of Reformed Theology. I was relying on my human reasoning more than the clear statements of Scripture. It was in the reading of Romans 9, one more time, that God fully opened my eyes. I was saved before I was humbled into Reformed Theology, but once I was humbled, the Scriptures became so much more clear and free.

The blind man who was healed said it John 9 9 Some said, “It is he”; others said, “No, but he is like him.” He said, “I am the man.” I am the man= ego eimi The healed blind man just said ego eimi, did he just refer to Exodus and claim to be God?? Of course not I believe in the Greek translation of Exodus it says “Ego eimi HO ON”-I AM THAT I AM “Tell them I AM has sent you”-tell them HO ON has sent you Had Jesus said HO ON you may have a point, but he didn’t - Jesus has a God Who is Paul referring to as “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ”?

@@mitchellc4 - The Pharisees sounded like they understood what Jesus meant. They didn’t go around persecuting anyone who used that phrase. Different things Jesus said made it clear to the Pharisees that he was claiming deity.

I so love and appreciate the straight forward, truthful and matter-of-fact answers from MacArthur and Lawson. That is what people need to hear these days: Straight forward, unapologetic biblical TRUTH.

Watching this is very educational in the teaching of true scripture. Thanks for your work for the Lord, gentlemen. The gospel of Christ is the only way! Love you brothers!
These men are true men of God that and God has led me to them and a few other preachers that are in this same circle of pastors as these men are. And they have greatly taught me how to divide the word of God rightly and understand it way more than I used to. With their teachings and the Holy Spirit confirming through scripture that these are truths of the word of God. PRAISE GOD for men like these.
My heart sings when I listen to these fine men of God, especially John MacArthur. I listen to these guys and for once I understand and everything (well, almost everything) in life and faith in Christ, and Christ alone together with our salvation becomes crystal clear.
@@bitrudder3792 What do you mean man? Like you want me to go through all his sermons( literally hundreds of them here on youtube) till I find it?? If you really want to know search it up. I'm not with all that false accusations. Jesus hates it and so do I .
A masterful explanation of Reformed Theology. It IS taught in every book of the Bible. Truly a Tour de force. Thank you dear Lord for raising these men up in the word of God.
Thanks God that He opens their minds through the Scripture alone by the Holy Spirit alone into the teaching of Christ alone. Humble teachers,, such a great blessing for me hearing them answering those questions. I have learn a lot from them, a supplement for understanding more of God's word by the help of God's working grace.
Thank you Pastor McArthur for telling me it's okay to pray directly to God. I have always done this, but a part of me felt selfish for taking up his time when my problems were so small compared to others who need him more. And I also used to think that I should not continually thank God for all my blessings. And there are many. I thought maybe I am being silly and redundant bringing these constant Grateful thoughts to be daily expressed to him, but I truly mean every word and I want HIM TO KNOW ,. So now I will not feel quilts professing my heart to God. P.S. anyway I do know He always hears me, that's why I keep doing it !
God wants to hear that you're thankful! I am glad to hear that you are so thankful, and encouraged that you know that all good things come from God! God always has time for us!
I do too! Praise the Lord that he left us with plenty to learn from. Have you read the holiness of God? Believe it or not amazon prime has a few different series of study by RC Sproul.
R C Sproul wasn't great because he was teaching Calvinism and misinforming them. Calvinism is fake doctrine and he will be punished 70×7 for being a clown. He was cursed like you and me. Only Christ is great.
RC Sproul doesn't understand some of Gods word and true Catholics should not let the church decide wrong interpretation but rather ask the Holy Spirit to interpret hard verses for you and he will do it in Christ our Lord,Amen.
I have followed RC and Johnny MaC for a very long time and it never ceases to amaze me how downright funny RC is.

@@mitchellc4 Dear friend, you are very mistaken. Jesus claimed to be God many, many times in the new testament. True, there is only one God, but did you read John chapter 1? In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Verse 14 then tells us that the "Word became flesh and dwelt among us," clearly referring to Jesus. When questioned by the Pharisees, Jesus said to them, "before Abraham was, 'I AM.'" This is a direct reference to Exodus 3:14 where Moses asks God who he should say sent him, and God replies, "I AM who I AM. Tell them, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" Dear friend, I'm not sure who you are listening to, or how you read the Bible, but it is you that needs to repent. Just as a question for your consideration, did Jesus have to live a sinless life to pay for sin? If Jesus had to live a sinless life, then when He claimed to be God, he sinned, committing blasphemy, which means that you no longer have a sufficient sacrifice in Jesus. The only way Jesus can save, is if He IS God the Son, coming in human form to die for the sins of man. His flesh died, His Spirit remained, and yet, His flesh also was restored to life after His death. So again, dear friend. Please consider what I have told you today. Please allow God to soften your heart and to hear the good news of the Gospel of Christ. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
@@takodapeters8221 Who is Jesus’s God? Who is Paul referring to as “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ”? Who is Peter referring to as “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”?

According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
@@mitchellc4 again, there is an intricacy in the text that you are missing. First, Jesus is called "The Son." Because it refers to His status towards the Father. Jesus, being the Second person of the Trinity, submits Himself to the Father. We see this in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus says, "please take this cup from me, but not my will, but yours be done (paraphrase)." Now, some will say this is evidence that Jesus is not God, but this means they have forgotten other key passages in scripture. For example, John 10:30, Jesus says "I and the Father are one." This means more than simply one of mind, which we can see in John 1:1-14. Also, note the pharisees reaction to Jesus calling God His Father, they treated it as blasphemy! Why? Because as John 5:18 says, "This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God." Simply calling God His Father, was a way in which Jesus claimed to be God. So to sum up, Jesus is the Son, relationally to the Father, not literally. Many people go to hebrews where it says that Jesus is the firstborn over all creation, but those that use this text to claim that Jesus is simply a man do not understand the deeper context behind firstborn. Firstborn is again, used in terms of Jesus' authority over creation. He inherited creation in a sense, just like firstborns would get double inheritances in the Old Testament.
@@mitchellc4 Second, to answer the "God of our Lord" part, we have to first understand in what ways The Father would be Jesus' God. 1) Some think that this means that Jesus is merely a man, that that his God would be Yahweh. But we know from many other passages that Jesus is God, and if he wasn't, then He could not save us because He committed Blasphemy on many, many occations. 2) We can look at it as Jesus' position towards the Father, being the submitting Son who does all thing in accordance to His Father's will. We do see this portrayed in scripture, but again, we need to back this up with what we have already read about Jesus Divinity. This does not mean that by submitting He is less than God, simply that He humbled Himself before the Father (Phil 2:1-11). This is also made as a distinction so that no one could say that Jesus was serving any other gods, but only the One True God. We know that God is one and that Jesus is intertwined with the Father and the Holy Spirit as One God, but distinct persons within one being. Yes, we cannot understand how it all works, but in order to be faithful to the Scriptures that our Lord has given us, we must come to this conclusion. There is no other option than to be faithful to scripture, even when it says something we cannot fully understand. Blessings dear friend, and I will be praying that God will help you to have understanding and peace amidst the mysteries of Scripture. I would encourage you to read Isaiah chapters 9 and 53 withing their proper context (these verse are speaking of the coming Messiah, the same Messiah that Gospels tell us is Jesus). Isaiah 9:6 specifically says that the Messiah will be called "Almighty God." "For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 Isaiah 53 goes into explicit detail into the death of the Messiah, and when read with the understanding of the crucifixion, it lines up perfectly. Again, peace be with you dear friend. May God bless you as you read into this matter more in depth.
It is impossible for me to put into words how much I love these two dear brothers in Christ Jesus; they have been a tremendous blessing to me by their teaching, sermons, books, etc., since my conversion from the apostate RCC to Biblical Christianity some 26 years ago! Dr. Sproul's book "The Holiness of God" was the first book I read after I got up from being face down on my living room floor, a posture I had taken after the Holy Spirit came into my lost life and I was born again. Since then I have read most of his books and commentaries, and have also read the majority of Dr. MacArthur's commentaries. In addition, I bought MacArthur Study Bibles for my entire family, and a few for close friends and a couple of years ago purchased the "Reformation Study Bible" of Dr. Sproul's contribution. They are the best in my book, and knowing that I will see them both for eternity is a very comforting thought! Blessings, D.O'D. - B.A. Th.M..
The way these men of God although having differing beliefs which they hold to firmly are still able to enjoy real fellowship, because of the shed blood of Christ. A real lesson for us to learn. We are indeed one in Christ.
Tremendous truth. We must be red hot for God. Thank you gentlemen for boldly proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As Spurgeon said, "Reformed Theology is just a nickname for the Biblical Christian." Let's get back to the truth, to the true Gospel, not this worldly, self-centered prosperity gospel which is no gospel at all.
51:15 That's exactly what happened with me earlier this year. When I made it a priority to read the bible and spend time in prayer, rather than floating along "luke warm" like I had done for years... That "coincidentally" was when I discovered the Doctrines of Grace. Now as I read the Bible, I don't understand how others don't see it, let alone try to make the case that the reformed view is "unbiblical" or "heresy" (according to the especially uninformed). But I've had that feeling... like "how did I read through this before and NOT see God's sovereignty?"
The Lord is amazing and so gracious. I know when He began to reveal to me the truths of the doctrines of grace I was so offended and did not want to embrace them. But by the grace of God He changed my heart and opened my eyes to His truths. He has instilled in my heart to stand up and proclaim His truth to those whom He has called to salvation. I find it very frustrating how it seems the majority of the church today has rejected the doctrines of grace and have embraced the humanistic approach of appeasing the world to come to Christ by carnal means.
It's because the reformed "doctrines of grace" are like a pair of glasses you need to wear in order to "see" certain things in the scriptures that aren't otherwise there. Calvinism traces back to St Augustine, who gathered it's ideas from his Stoic/Gnostic and Manichaeist training. Initially, Augustine forsook his early pagan training, and established himself as a Christian voice to be trusted. But as he aged, he reintroduced those Stoic concepts (which the early church fathers all argued against), wrapped them in Christian language, and presented them as Gospel, trying to support them from Scripture. Because he was trusted by this time, a lot of people bought into it - and he is revered to this day by Catholics and Protestants alike - especially Calvinists. John Calvin himself said he could preach his entire gospel straight out of the works of Augustine. So, yeah, Calvinism and the reformed "doctrines of grace" and "God's sovereignty" are byproducts of Augustine's Gnostic/Manichaeist training (pagan doctrines), and need to be presented to believers as ideas first, and then "supported" from scripture. So, you were presented with the ideas, there's a strange logic to them which you found agreeable, and now you "see" them. And because luminaries like Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon and Sproul all believed it, then it must be true. No offense - it happens to the best of us.
@@bigsidrealprisontalk9173 Thanks for clearing that up for me. I've often wondered if I was actually a clueless idiot or not. So glad you took the time to so eloquently set me straight. o_o
A wonderful man, faithful and a tremendous ministry we all appreciated. We are grateful for the records we have available to teach others those same doctrinal truths.
Steve Lawson is really good . He doesn’t get the credit that these other intellectual giants get but he’s a great man of God and a powerful expositor of the Bible - and I’m saying this as a skeptic who’s trying to learn and discover Christ ......✌🏼
Dr. Lawson is my favorite Bible teacher to get guidance from through his teachings. I have downloaded many of his sermons through Sermon Audio. Your greatest discovery of Christ Jesus is through the Scriptures and by attending a theologically solid church. I would encourage you to use TH-cam or Sermon Audio to listen and learn through these men, always with an open Bible. It is so important that you physically open your Bible up and follow along with these teachers as they expound upon the truths of the Scripture. I am curious of your life and faith journey and how the Lord has opened your heart to the Gospel. If you are willing you can E-Mail me at Michael.Berglund@mail.com. If I can be of any help, please let me know.
One day I was praying, asking God what He wanted of me. During that prayer my cat came and laid next to me and put his head in my lap, began purring, and looked up at me with such Love.....And I KNEW... THAT'S what GOD wants from me. Not oaths and promises...not TRYING to be perfect.... but just to come into His Presence and LOVE Him, and be close to Him, and be thankful for Him and appreciate HIM....not what He's done for me, although that's important... But HIMSELF! WHO HE IS! I NEVER had a more poignant answer to a prayer! I LOVE HIM! Jesus Christ showed me His Love, when I was still running away from Him. I NEVER want to be more than an arm's length from Him. Just BEING in His Presence is ALL I want...and ALL I need....and ALL He wants, too! "Seek ye First the Kingdom of God... And ALL these things shall be added unto you". Matt 6:33

If you must thoroughly, with your carnal mind, understand His INFINITY, to the point that you reject His Word (which IS God), because it doesn't fit into your Logic Box, you are walking on dangerous ground.
@@mitchellc4 See what I mean? You're still trying to figure it out. Just let HIM explain it. He WILL. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are ALL THREE manifestations of "GOD". YOU are made "In the Image of God", Body, Soul, and Spirit. He IS: Body, (Jesus), Soul, (The Father), and Spirit (The Holy Spirit.) They are ALL different MANIFESTATIONS of "GOD". Remember when Jesus said, "I and My Father are ONE"? He also said, "I will send you the Comforter" (The Holy Spirit), then, He said, "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you" . Read John 14, 15, 16 and 17. It becomes very clear that He and The Holy Spirit are ONE, and He and the Father are ONE and the Father and the Holy Spirit are ONE. God Bless You.
I hope I get to meet John before he goes to be with the Lord or I do! I just want to thank him for his faithfulness to the church. I thank God for these men who God has ordained to show us the truths. Unexhaustive love of Christ from His pastors!
Just like Lawson said at the end ....basically .. ''seek first the Kingdom of God, and its righteousness, and ALL THINGS shall be added unto you.'' ~ Mathew 6:33
Wow, it’s amazing to hear these men of God wonderfully articulate profound truths and also make arrogant ignorant assertions in the same sitting. Aren’t you glad that God is gracious and merciful?!
Woah, at 9:09 Dr. Sproul said he takes a classic premillennialist view toward Israel! This was a watershed for me. Also, I have to say, these guys are functioning with genuine synergy. The level of seriousness, thoroughness, and love is higher than when each of them meets in other groups. There is something called "collective consciousness" and that is very high in this particular group. I think they are each very hard workers in their teaching craft who ALSO have a very high standard for personal integrity in their lives and thoughts.
Thank you Lord for these amazing men You've given to us. They helped me to rediscover the amazing grace of God and His wonderful Word, I'm so thankful to Him for them. I really love all of them but especially Sproul, he's so funny!
These guys are wolves in sheeps clothing. Their faith is in man, and not in the power of almighty God. The first guy at the beginning, can't even muster a prayer to Jesus about his bum knee...really following these guys could get you into a very bad place when all is said and done.
@@rsm1161 Nawww. I went the other way. Started reformed. Then saw the misinterpretations. Read the right stuff and was delivered. Christ died for the sin of the world bro. Don’t change that.
Thank you Lawson. Faith alone, in Christ alone. No other conditions for justification as many preach today, mistaking God's work of sanctification in His children as part of simple spiritual birth by faith.
Very informative and helpful from start to finish! I especially appreciated what Dr. Lawson said at the end about how to motivate men to be committed Christians, active in church. So, so true!
What a honor, mercy, and grace to have possibility to listen the WORD OF GOD presented and explained by this amazing man of GOD ! JUST AMAZING !!!! TO LORD GOD BE ALL THE PRAISE FOR HIS GLORY IN CHRIST JESUS MY SAVIOR ! AMEN.
I came out of the charismatic movement a year started listening ng to these guys. the Holy spirited started leading me into the expository teaching and biblical truth these guys preach. praise God! I believe in reformed theology now. I get angry now when I think about unbiblical filth that comes out of the mouths of these heretical televangelist. promising g you health and wealth and so us a seed and get your healing. most of them should be in prison!
I completely understand and can relate to what you are saying. About four years ago I walked away from the Word of Faith movement. I both believed in it and as a preacher advanced their teachings. I have listened to some of my old teachings I had recorded both on CD and DVD that I find it sad that I use to teach those things and say "God spoke to me....." whatever my mind drummed up. I was sincere and honest in my pursuit of God back then, but I realize now I was honestly and sincerely deceived by a heretical movement.
Don i came out to re, cri. And tape of their very own words , almost destroyed me , destroyed a marriage. Still not 100% back to the bible my only hope

Curious if you've ever listened to pastor Mike winger. I believe he's at least leaning towards the charismatics, not word of faith type, but definite focus on the Holy Spirit. Just started listening to him recently so not completely sure of his standing.. but I worry that we're too ready to throw out the baby with the bathwater and might be missing out on glorious blessings from the Holy Spirit. Which I know is not what RC and MacArthur teach. I know I need the Spirit. I'm so unable to walk this christian walk on my own. Def going to keep listening to him to learn more. He's very knowledgeable and biblical. So far anyway. 😊
I thought when he was speaking about being happy to be in the same fox hole as the other two, I was waiting for him to say, ".... with John in front." Lol.

Yeah, I grew up on MacArthur--learning from him and local teachers like him how to read and interpret scripture--but I always longed for the down-to-earth humor of Sproul. What a great soothing he is to my tortured soul.
I think Pastor Charles Lawson, of Temple Baptist Church Knoxville TN has a powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit, I have grown closer to the LORD in understanding of the scripture by listening to his Sunday School & sermons.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
With incredible respect towards these men if faith- when we start talking about Calvinism, or any other ism inside orthodox Christianity, the way we do about the gospel we are off-track.
You dont know what true calvinism is then. He wasnt the first you know. He only espoused what Augustine did. There are 3 men who followed Augustine. Calvin was the last. Predestination is biblical. Gods sovereignty is also biblical. You should study and keep studying. I pray it 'hits you' one day. Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and discernment.
49:10 That was 100% correct in my case. I first heard of Calvinistic soteriology and kicked against it, because I was raised in a rather Synergistic household; not only that, but my family was actively opposed to Calvinism. Something kept drawing me back and back to examine TULIP, and I kept wrestling with it without ever looking at what the Scriptures had to say. Finally I sat down and read what the Bible actually said on the subject, and I (very reluctantly at first) was convinced of the Doctrines of Grace.
So true... As bigger and bigger numbers have "special revelations" and "emotional feelings" about how God is gonna fix things politically and the like.

@@mitchellc4 Sounds like you need to read your Bible again, after praying for discernment. The Holy Trinity IS a monotheistic God. Three manifestations of ONE God.

@@mitchellc4 The Word was made flesh. Read John is some translation other than the JW's, AFTER praying for discernment. They killed Jesus for his claims to be God. Was Thomas wrong when he said "my Lord and my God" to Jesus? And only His body died. They didn't really kill Him... Hence the whole resurrection thing.

Like calvanist believe, we have no choice in the matter,, and we're just a bunch or robots! That's absurd! He gives us free will to choose to except the free offer or reject it!

I agree that the gift of salvation us available to everyone. However are you sure God knows who is going to accept His offer?? Read Genesis 22:12. Our time-space reality and how angelic beings portal into and out of our world are mysterious. And so is how God interacts in those dimensions.
But you’re right God didn’t predetermine every persons eternal state as the Calvinists falsely believe. That’s nonsense.
Dr. Lawson told my story in speaking of discovering the Doctrines of Grace. I was a minister in a Wesleyan-Arminian church and while studying the Scripture began to see that what I had been taught and was teaching wasn't lining up with God's word. It was a life changing, eye opening experience of truly discovering that I didn't really know the Lord at all. God is so gracious and patient and He brought me to an understanding of the truth of His sovereignty, grace, love, mercy, and righteousness. Praise God for His word and the Holy Spirit's revealing of it's truths.
What an amazing God, right? All I've done is sin in my past and He suffered for me to make me free to worship Him-He opened His Word to me and the richness of it never ends.

This realllyy sucks.
That's great, I was a Christian raised in a Atheist home and didn't know there was a difference, for me it was a decade ago Pipers "Is God for us or for Himself", this bothered me, but it took me on a journey fighting doctrines of grace because I didn't fully understand it, once I saw the overwhelming scriptures I had to deal with it, so I stepped out on faith not understanding everything, but when I did that God enlightened me, today it's SO BASIC, Arminianism IS heresy, Scripture can only be discerned Spiritually, that is by the Holy Spirit, so somewhat like Edwards I'd stay up all night, had real problems, but once the full tapestry laid itself out and I got it, it became so beautiful
Dr McArthur, thank you for 'safe in the arms of God'. It is such a comfort, and represents the mercy and grace of God. It helped me trust Christ after our baby died. Thank you for faithfully teaching the Scriptures.

@@rocketsurgeon1746 and what’s your theology? Everyone has their own theology not one person is in perfect agreement with another and who do you suppose are better “giants”? Your top three pastors will tell a lot about you! Let’s hear them…..
"Salvation is not a reward for the righteousness, its a gift to the guilty." That is quite a statement to meditate on.
These men have been a gift to the body of Christ. Definitely 3 of the greats! Lawson and McArthur still defending the faith. RC would be proud!
These guys have blessed me immensely in my walk w the Lord!!
R.C.'s comments from 54:21 forward is what led me to understand that God does not owe me grace. It was then I realized He is sovereign over salvation and gives it to whom He will. I began to see the beauty of God's holiness, and I yearned for Him with a desire that could only originate with Him. I never desired Him until I saw how hopeless I was in saving me, and when by grace He did save me, I loved His sovereignty. By His grace alone I am saved, and I believe! Soli Deo Gloria...
Amen!
Praise God!
I love these wonderful pastors I’m 73 and can’t hardly wait to be with them in Christ time. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hello K
The Father dwelling in Jesus did the works
I too was an Aminian until I was in my late 50's, running against the truth of Reformed Theology. I was relying on my human reasoning more than the clear statements of Scripture. It was in the reading of Romans 9, one more time, that God fully opened my eyes. I was saved before I was humbled into Reformed Theology, but once I was humbled, the Scriptures became so much more clear and free.
My daughter's first baby died moments before birth....it is a blessing to be a chosen first born to be instant with the Lord...not having to go through the sinful, hardship and nature of this earth. Here we are living for decades clothed in this sinful flesh, born again and waiting for our Lord, I cannot even imagine to be fully present with the Lord as a babe...by passing all this. thank you Lord.

Hi
No not really he didn’t
Jesus said before Abraham was born “ego eimi” which means I am he
Multiple people say ego eimi in the New Testament, but you’re not saying they are God?
The blind man who was healed said it
John 9
9 Some said, “It is he”; others said, “No, but he is like him.” He said, “I am the man.”
I am the man= ego eimi
The healed blind man just said ego eimi, did he just refer to Exodus and claim to be God?? Of course not
I believe in the Greek translation of Exodus it says
“Ego eimi HO ON”-I AM THAT I AM
“Tell them I AM has sent you”-tell them HO ON has sent you
Had Jesus said HO ON you may have a point, but he didn’t

RC Sproul doesn't understand some of Gods word and true Catholics should not let the church decide wrong interpretation but rather ask the Holy Spirit to interpret hard verses for you and he will do it in Christ our Lord,Amen.
Don't listen to man's interpretation but rather ask the Holy Ghost to help you.
Thank you Dr. Steve Lawson!
(Your words had changed my crooked thinking of God, and about myself.)
I have followed RC and Johnny MaC for a very long time and it never ceases to amaze me how downright funny RC is. I love hearing and seeing TRUE gospel being put forth while still being able to have a bit of fun and love on each other. These Men are all a very real gift from God and I cherish them deeply for speaking nothing but truth!
MY BROTHERS IN CHRIST ♥️♥️ so soothing & comforting to hear such truths xxx
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21

@@mitchellc4 Dear friend, you are very mistaken. Jesus claimed to be God many, many times in the new testament. True, there is only one God, but did you read John chapter 1? In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Verse 14 then tells us that the "Word became flesh and dwelt among us," clearly referring to Jesus.
When questioned by the Pharisees, Jesus said to them, "before Abraham was, 'I AM.'" This is a direct reference to Exodus 3:14 where Moses asks God who he should say sent him, and God replies, "I AM who I AM. Tell them, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
Dear friend, I'm not sure who you are listening to, or how you read the Bible, but it is you that needs to repent.
Just as a question for your consideration, did Jesus have to live a sinless life to pay for sin? If Jesus had to live a sinless life, then when He claimed to be God, he sinned, committing blasphemy, which means that you no longer have a sufficient sacrifice in Jesus. The only way Jesus can save, is if He IS God the Son, coming in human form to die for the sins of man. His flesh died, His Spirit remained, and yet, His flesh also was restored to life after His death.
So again, dear friend. Please consider what I have told you today. Please allow God to soften your heart and to hear the good news of the Gospel of Christ. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Who is Jesus’s God?
Who is Paul referring to as “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ”?
Who is Peter referring to as “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”?
Rom 15
6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Cor 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
2 Cor 11
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for ever, knows that I do not lie.

1 Pet 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
@@mitchellc4 again, there is an intricacy in the text that you are missing. First, Jesus is called "The Son." Because it refers to His status towards the Father. Jesus, being the Second person of the Trinity, submits Himself to the Father. We see this in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus says, "please take this cup from me, but not my will, but yours be done (paraphrase)."
Now, some will say this is evidence that Jesus is not God, but this means they have forgotten other key passages in scripture. For example, John 10:30, Jesus says "I and the Father are one." This means more than simply one of mind, which we can see in John 1:1-14. Also, note the pharisees reaction to Jesus calling God His Father, they treated it as blasphemy! Why? Because as John 5:18 says, "This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God." Simply calling God His Father, was a way in which Jesus claimed to be God.
So to sum up, Jesus is the Son, relationally to the Father, not literally.
Many people go to hebrews where it says that Jesus is the firstborn over all creation, but those that use this text to claim that Jesus is simply a man do not understand the deeper context behind firstborn. Firstborn is again, used in terms of Jesus' authority over creation. He inherited creation in a sense, just like firstborns would get double inheritances in the Old Testament.
@@mitchellc4 Second, to answer the "God of our Lord" part, we have to first understand in what ways The Father would be Jesus' God. 1) Some think that this means that Jesus is merely a man, that that his God would be Yahweh. But we know from many other passages that Jesus is God, and if he wasn't, then He could not save us because He committed Blasphemy on many, many occations. 2) We can look at it as Jesus' position towards the Father, being the submitting Son who does all thing in accordance to His Father's will. We do see this portrayed in scripture, but again, we need to back this up with what we have already read about Jesus Divinity. This does not mean that by submitting He is less than God, simply that He humbled Himself before the Father (Phil 2:1-11). This is also made as a distinction so that no one could say that Jesus was serving any other gods, but only the One True God. We know that God is one and that Jesus is intertwined with the Father and the Holy Spirit as One God, but distinct persons within one being. Yes, we cannot understand how it all works, but in order to be faithful to the Scriptures that our Lord has given us, we must come to this conclusion. There is no other option than to be faithful to scripture, even when it says something we cannot fully understand.
Blessings dear friend, and I will be praying that God will help you to have understanding and peace amidst the mysteries of Scripture. I would encourage you to read Isaiah chapters 9 and 53 withing their proper context (these verse are speaking of the coming Messiah, the same Messiah that Gospels tell us is Jesus). Isaiah 9:6 specifically says that the Messiah will be called "Almighty God." "For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6
Isaiah 53 goes into explicit detail into the death of the Messiah, and when read with the understanding of the crucifixion, it lines up perfectly.
Again, peace be with you dear friend. May God bless you as you read into this matter more in depth.
Just amazing! Brilliant! Overwhelming! Thank you for sharing the richness of God‘s truth with the world!
It is impossible for me to put into words how much I love these two dear brothers in Christ Jesus; they have been a tremendous blessing to me by their teaching, sermons, books, etc., since my conversion from the apostate RCC to Biblical Christianity some 26 years ago! Dr. Sproul's book "The Holiness of God" was the first book I read after I got up from being face down on my living room floor, a posture I had taken after the Holy Spirit came into my lost life and I was born again. Since then I have read most of his books and commentaries, and have also read the majority of Dr. MacArthur's commentaries. In addition, I bought MacArthur Study Bibles for my entire family, and a few for close friends and a couple of years ago purchased the "Reformation Study Bible" of Dr. Sproul's contribution.
They are the best in my book, and knowing that I will see them both for eternity is a very comforting thought!
Blessings,
D.O'D. - B.A. Th.M..
That is absolutely awesome! God bless you!!
The way these men of God although having differing beliefs which they hold to firmly are still able to enjoy real fellowship, because of the shed blood of Christ. A real lesson for us to learn. We are indeed one in Christ.
I enjoy these Q&As very much. I enjoy listening while I read the transcript...since doing so drives the knowledge deeper into my heart and mind.
Tremendous truth. We must be red hot for God. Thank you gentlemen for boldly proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As Spurgeon said, "Reformed Theology is just a nickname for the Biblical Christian." Let's get back to the truth, to the true Gospel, not this worldly, self-centered prosperity gospel which is no gospel at all.
Red hot does NOT mean to be ecstatically emotional.
What a great response for all the questions. I love these men of faith in Christ Jesus. They have been a great blessing and influence to me from God.
51:15
That's exactly what happened with me earlier this year. When I made it a priority to read the bible and spend time in prayer, rather than floating along "luke warm" like I had done for years... That "coincidentally" was when I discovered the Doctrines of Grace. Now as I read the Bible, I don't understand how others don't see it, let alone try to make the case that the reformed view is "unbiblical" or "heresy" (according to the especially uninformed).
But I've had that feeling... like "how did I read through this before and NOT see God's sovereignty?"
The Lord is amazing and so gracious. I know when He began to reveal to me the truths of the doctrines of grace I was so offended and did not want to embrace them. But by the grace of God He changed my heart and opened my eyes to His truths. He has instilled in my heart to stand up and proclaim His truth to those whom He has called to salvation. I find it very frustrating how it seems the majority of the church today has rejected the doctrines of grace and have embraced the humanistic approach of appeasing the world to come to Christ by carnal means.
It's because the reformed "doctrines of grace" are like a pair of glasses you need to wear in order to "see" certain things in the scriptures that aren't otherwise there. Calvinism traces back to St Augustine, who gathered it's ideas from his Stoic/Gnostic and Manichaeist training. Initially, Augustine forsook his early pagan training, and established himself as a Christian voice to be trusted. But as he aged, he reintroduced those Stoic concepts (which the early church fathers all argued against), wrapped them in Christian language, and presented them as Gospel, trying to support them from Scripture. Because he was trusted by this time, a lot of people bought into it - and he is revered to this day by Catholics and Protestants alike - especially Calvinists.
John Calvin himself said he could preach his entire gospel straight out of the works of Augustine.
So, yeah, Calvinism and the reformed "doctrines of grace" and "God's sovereignty" are byproducts of Augustine's Gnostic/Manichaeist training (pagan doctrines), and need to be presented to believers as ideas first, and then "supported" from scripture. So, you were presented with the ideas, there's a strange logic to them which you found agreeable, and now you "see" them. And because luminaries like Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon and Sproul all believed it, then it must be true.
No offense - it happens to the best of us.
Dave Wagner You have no clue what you’re talking about

Everytime I listen to these Q&A's I am blessed and I learn things - even if I know I watched it before!
Steve Lawson is really good . He doesn’t get the credit that these other intellectual giants get but he’s a great man of God and a powerful expositor of the Bible - and I’m saying this as a skeptic who’s trying to learn and discover Christ ......✌🏼
Dr. Lawson is my favorite Bible teacher to get guidance from through his teachings. I have downloaded many of his sermons through Sermon Audio. Your greatest discovery of Christ Jesus is through the Scriptures and by attending a theologically solid church. I would encourage you to use TH-cam or Sermon Audio to listen and learn through these men, always with an open Bible. It is so important that you physically open your Bible up and follow along with these teachers as they expound upon the truths of the Scripture.
I am curious of your life and faith journey and how the Lord has opened your heart to the Gospel. If you are willing you can E-Mail me at Michael.Berglund@mail.com. If I can be of any help, please let me know.
I love this comment so much! Excited for your journey-- makes me think of the Pilgrims Progress.
First find the Father the one true El and the rest will follow. Start at the beginning Genesis and work you way forward. Yah speed.
@John, he’s brilliant!
One day I was praying, asking God what He wanted of me. During that prayer my cat came and laid next to me and put his head in my lap, began purring, and looked up at me with such Love.....And I KNEW... THAT'S what GOD wants from me. Not oaths and promises...not TRYING to be perfect.... but just to come into His Presence and LOVE Him, and be close to Him, and be thankful for Him and appreciate HIM....not what He's done for me, although that's important... But HIMSELF! WHO HE IS! I NEVER had a more poignant answer to a prayer! I LOVE HIM! Jesus Christ showed me His Love, when I was still running away from Him. I NEVER want to be more than an arm's length from Him. Just BEING in His Presence is ALL I want...and ALL I need....and ALL He wants, too! "Seek ye First the Kingdom of God... And ALL these things shall be added unto you". Matt 6:33

@@mitchellc4 See what I mean? You're still trying to figure it out. Just let HIM explain it. He WILL. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are ALL THREE manifestations of "GOD". YOU are made "In the Image of God", Body, Soul, and Spirit. He IS: Body, (Jesus), Soul, (The Father), and Spirit (The Holy Spirit.) They are ALL different MANIFESTATIONS of "GOD". Remember when Jesus said, "I and My Father are ONE"? He also said, "I will send you the Comforter" (The Holy Spirit), then, He said, "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you" . Read John 14, 15, 16 and 17. It becomes very clear that He and The Holy Spirit are ONE, and He and the Father are ONE and the Father and the Holy Spirit are ONE. God Bless You.

Wow, it’s amazing to hear these men of God wonderfully articulate profound truths and also make arrogant ignorant assertions in the same sitting. Aren’t you glad that God is gracious and merciful?!
Woah, at 9:09 Dr. Sproul said he takes a classic premillennialist view toward Israel! This was a watershed for me.
Also, I have to say, these guys are functioning with genuine synergy. The level of seriousness, thoroughness, and love is higher than when each of them meets in other groups. There is something called "collective consciousness" and that is very high in this particular group. I think they are each very hard workers in their teaching craft who ALSO have a very high standard for personal integrity in their lives and thoughts.
For myself. The HOLY SPIRIT guides me in so many ways. COME LORD JESUS. Amen! Please Bless these Pastors. Top of the Holy Line.
Thank you Lord for these amazing men You've given to us. They helped me to rediscover the amazing grace of God and His wonderful Word, I'm so thankful to Him for them. I really love all of them but especially Sproul, he's so funny!

I came out of the charismatic movement a year started listening ng to these guys. the Holy spirited started leading me into the expository teaching and biblical truth these guys preach. praise God! I believe in reformed theology now. I get angry now when I think about unbiblical filth that comes out of the mouths of these heretical televangelist. promising g you health and wealth and so us a seed and get your healing. most of them should be in prison!
They will be if they do not repent. They will be judged at the great white throne judgement and thrown into the worst prison imaginable.
I completely understand and can relate to what you are saying. About four years ago I walked away from the Word of Faith movement. I both believed in it and as a preacher advanced their teachings. I have listened to some of my old teachings I had recorded both on CD and DVD that I find it sad that I use to teach those things and say "God spoke to me....." whatever my mind drummed up. I was sincere and honest in my pursuit of God back then, but I realize now I was honestly and sincerely deceived by a heretical movement.
Don i came out to re, cri. And tape of their very own words , almost destroyed me , destroyed a marriage. Still not 100% back to the bible my only hope

Curious if you've ever listened to pastor Mike winger. I believe he's at least leaning towards the charismatics, not word of faith type, but definite focus on the Holy Spirit. Just started listening to him recently so not completely sure of his standing.. but I worry that we're too ready to throw out the baby with the bathwater and might be missing out on glorious blessings from the Holy Spirit. Which I know is not what RC and MacArthur teach. I know I need the Spirit. I'm so unable to walk this christian walk on my own. Def going to keep listening to him to learn more. He's very knowledgeable and biblical. So far anyway. 😊

Yeah, I grew up on MacArthur--learning from him and local teachers like him how to read and interpret scripture--but I always longed for the down-to-earth humor of Sproul. What a great soothing he is to my tortured soul.
I receive divine revelation every time I open the Bible and read His Holy words, That's it, that is His sufficient and holy revelation.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Great to hear from all these Reformed theologians.
It is nice to meet you Steven Lawson.
With incredible respect towards these men if faith- when we start talking about Calvinism, or any other ism inside orthodox Christianity, the way we do about the gospel we are off-track.
You dont know what true calvinism is then. He wasnt the first you know. He only espoused what Augustine did. There are 3 men who followed Augustine. Calvin was the last.
Predestination is biblical. Gods sovereignty is also biblical.

That was 100% correct in my case. I first heard of Calvinistic soteriology and kicked against it, because I was raised in a rather Synergistic household; not only that, but my family was actively opposed to Calvinism. Something kept drawing me back and back to examine TULIP, and I kept wrestling with it without ever looking at what the Scriptures had to say. Finally I sat down and read what the Bible actually said on the subject, and I (very reluctantly at first) was convinced of the Doctrines of Grace.
I am eternally thankful to the Lord that He loaned RC to us for so many years.
