Can't imagine how overwhelmed with joy R.C. was when he blinked and was suddenly home with The Lord.
That was such a nice image you put into my head. I miss him.
Oh what a great feeling it must be
I cannot even fathom
@@toughbiblepassages9082 when christ rmded
It’s amazing to think that our imagination and thoughts don’t even come close to justifying what it truly is like
@@jeffreyhart9742 no idea what “rmded” means
I love and watch these Q&A’s all the time. I can watch them over and over. Thank you Father for these men❤
Same here!❤
It never fails..... R.C. Will always make us laugh no matter what conference he is at. I miss the man so much.
I can’t help but remember I went on a Bible study cruise and dr Sproul wound up having to carry the conference because dr James Kennedy died. I wish I had paid closer attention because everyone was expecting dr Kennedy having no idea his condition.

21 years have passed since this conference. I felt a little bad because Alistair wasn't asked as much as the others. But classic Begg in that he was content listening to his elder statesman. So glad you shared this with us. RIP RC Sproul! Great group of Pastors.
I'm a fairly new convert to reformed theology. It all makes sense now. I was a neo evangelical at the beginning, but within the past 4 months I've been opened to these beliefs. All glory to God and Amen.
I have been studying reading the old testament and I see how truly holy God is and am so I really am grateful for Jesus Christ the son of God
I watch these Q&A over and over.... ! We are so blessed with these men God has given us...I miss Dr Sproul and that twinkle in his eye.!
Amen
Same. I watch them over. I learn something everytime.
I miss him too. 😢❤
These are my Giants, and Mentors for 45 years, I love them all!
You're right reamer
Amen. These men are truly a blessing to us all. Thank you LORD for sending them to us. ❤🙏🙏🙏
Lucky you !! For me is less than one year and I believe I already listened more than 300th sermons including questions and answers. Bless you!!
Amen Monte. These giants keep me focused and on the narrow path. Thank GOD for men like these. 🙏🙏🙏❤
Well said. Giants indeed. Love them dearly. Looking forward to meeting them one day as we worship our HOLY HOLY HOLY LORD GOD ALLMIGHTY together. Thank you JESUS for granted them the gift of shepherding us. ❤🙏
We listen to this and should be thankful the lord gave us such good teachers who are loyal to the lord Himself and the word only!
I thank God that we have pastors who preach the truth. So many are deceived by false teaching.😢
I really enjoy listening to these men though I am here in the Philippines, where charismania is rampant, still, God is allowing me to learn a lot of sound theology from these men.
These men are diamonds in this world. This world has become so crazy, and I listen to how God speaks through these dear men, and I know the pure message of the gospel will carry me through the madness. I feel at home when I listen to these men of God. This is the only truth I need in a world constantly hammering me on every side to believe the evil it calls truth.
As much as we admire these vessels of the gospel, I can’t even imagine the amount of love and gratitude that we will have when we see the face of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Just such a blessing to be able to listen to this group of men. I'm so thankful Alistair Begg mentioned the old hymns. Most written by those who knew great suffering. They are so full of wisdom. I use an old and much worn The Believers Hymn Book published by Pickering & Inglis London-Glasgow with my morning devotionals. No music in it just the hymns numbered and written plainly on the pages. Their words so honouring to the Trinity bring tears for the Heavenly vision they have captured.
The hymn book commentary of Alistair is such a beautiful statement of the blessed use of the hymns. Excellent Q&A. Thank you
If there was such thing as a Christian “Oscar Award” (not for acting but rather for conveying sound Biblical doctrine!), John MacArthur would have quite a few Oscars...but truly, all of the men in this panel are “Oscar” winners in my opinion!!!
But not as many as Sproul.
@@joshuatheo1419 or Ferguson and Begg- all three truly orthodox giants.
Sproul's grasp of doctrine and/in history and his sense of humor makes for fun learning Theology
Amazing teaching , how timely to our poor souls in the wilderness , seeking the truth in these dark days , God is never late , always on time , not ours but His ! Amen
EXCELLENT!!!! I've been blessed listening to these Godly men
I come back to this 2001 Conference on Holiness often and as I see these men (now 16 years older) I pray we will have them for another fair or good amount of years...all of these here, Jerry Bridges also, I will (and do) listen to often and I have not seen the next younger generation having any of this soundness in their preaching...Lord? Give us men as these?
Amen, Wally.
Paul Washer, Justin Peters, Mike Winger
@@overcomer4226 Thank you Over Comer!
Totally agree.
We need more men like these!! 😔
IM so filled with blessings from these annointed and humble men of God.
I thank the Lord for all these great men of God. God has used them greatly in bringing me to Reformed(Biblical) Theology, especially Brother MacArthur and Brother Sproul. All glory be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
I really love and respect the men of God who devote their lives to preaching Christ.
bible4truth Liar.
How so? @b4t
bible4truth You're not making a whole bunch of sense IMO sorry.
bible4truth Freewill and predestination exist at the same time. God simply knows the end of the story and who will and who won't believe. That doesn't remove the person's freewill choice to repent and believe. There are things bigger than our understanding. I'm okay with that. When this type of theological wrestling occurs we have to default back to Christ and Him crucified. Grace.
bible4truth Indeed, Jesus died for all..for all to have the opportunity to accept His free gift of grace. But not all will choose Him and God knows that and allows that because God must know who truly loves him and must separate those who are His and those who ARE NOT His.
This group represents the most influential pastors of the 21st century
I respect and love you all. Hear Hear John M. The late R.C. S., all, I have listened to all your sermons these conferences. All this knowledge is great wealth. Best laid plans to invent a new God. Sproul, Learning the Character of God to love so great so Holy. I binge watched Sproul all 66 Chapters verse by Verse. The life of Jesus the True Gospel. It plays in my heart my mind. I visualize it daily. Hear Hear “Read the Scripture” Hear hear You can’t coast through it”
Love Love Love♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I listened to Alistair Begg on radio in Utah. So nice to put a face with that wonderful voice & his awesome ministry.
Amazing men of God. Thank you Jesus. Your humble servants whether here or in glory, never fail to awaken me to who I am and who Christ is. Thank you pastor's.
What an erudite and fun group! We are blessed to have these men of God share with us. Love these panels. Thoroughly enjoyable and instructive.
RIP R.C. Sproul (1939-2017).
How time flies. I thought it had been a lil over 1 yr. I surely do miss him but I am grateful that he left all his wonderful sermons and studies. I love "the holiness of God". Wow! It is phenomenal.
Wow what a wonderful man of God, yes I miss him dearly , and can’t wait to get a glimpse when I arrive in Heaven 😇👳🏻♀️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I trust the preachers from The Ligonier ministry, Southern Theological Baptist Church and Grace Community Church to deliver the Truth of God.
Me too and there's no other truth doctrine of understanding theology. Bless you!!
Amen
Read the Bible and God to help you understand it if you're uncertain/confused. You'll be SO much better off than listening to doctrines of men.
This is a classic video. Love hearing all the pastors who have been in the race for years leading people to our LORD JESUS.
PASTOR ALISTAIR BEGG is my online pastor.
Thank you for putting this beautiful video on you tube.
RIP RC SPROUL.
I love this group. What a joy to listen to them speak about God and the Word of God.
Paul does a great job of moderating this Q & A. Thank you Paul.
Thank GOD for men who fervently search the scripture and devote hours to prayer...keep them LORD from pride
❤️🙏🙌 I truly enjoy these Q&A's. I'm always enlightened. The second to last question about walking through the valley of the shadow of death answered by Sinclair really resonated with me. Thank you!
Couldn't help but think R.C. looked ill in this. I didn't personally know the man but am so very glad his ministry was recorded and lives on for those of us who can learn by them. Thank you for sharing. So thoroughly enjoy these.
He was i think as he went on to the Lord not terribly long ago.
C Bedford 2017!
I was struck immediately by how sick he looked. God bless him, he served right to the end.
Thank you brothers for opening my eyes to his glorious grace, thank you.
Loved every minute of it! May God bless their ministries and teachings.
Wow! A breath of fresh air when I found this discussion from the great minds of theologians. Entirely enlightening from the word of God and the humble acceptance of these men to total dependence on the Lord as they continue to live through their earthly lives. Thank you.
Such wonderful commentary full of Truth and I see great teachers with great (golf) biographies, made my cry with joy at such Truth about God's Word. These men searched for Truth and found it. Now they teach(with Holy Spirited power) people like me and I am honored to be on the receiving end. Thank You for all you do and you rank 1st on my list as true teacher's and preacher's of God's Word in great detail.
I am grateful they have recorded all his videos (RC Sproul) or I wouldn't be able to know him! after 3 years of his passing. Thank you for Making a Stand and tirelessly spreading the Gospel ( Grace to you & Ligonier Ministries to name a few ) " Heaven and Earth will pass away Jesus said in Matthew but my words will never pass away "
I’m glad Alistair Begg mentioned how much he got out of the words of hymns. I have often gotten comfort when reading hymns. Sometimes parts of hymns come to mind to help in certain times in life, and sometimes scripture comes to mind. I liked when Sinclair Ferguson spoke about John Bunyan. Bunyan is one of my favourite historical Christians. I heard Sinclair Ferguson preach on Jonah in the1980s, at St.George’s Tron Kirk in Buchanan St. Glasgow. Eric Alexander was the main preacher in that Kirk around that time.
Alistair Begg seems so much more somber here than in his more recent videos. I love his emphasis on hymns then and now.
Praise be to God for these Christian men and their wonderful families and lifestyle, I am truly blessed through them 😇👳🏻♀️🙏🙏
There are just so much to learn from these men of GOD. I can't help but listen to these over and over.
To realize that you great saints are actually „my family“ blows my mind! I love you guys forever! Great Q&A!
Always an honor to listen and learn from all these men of God. Thank you all.🙏🧡
thank you Father for sharing this great pastors with us!!Thank you you...great men of GOD..who are teaching us to go deep in the meaning of the GOSPEL OF SALVATION...Thank you JESUS FOR FINDING ME AND REDEEMING ME!!!
Amen 🙏
The wisdom from these men is so encouraging. I am blessed to know that my walk is a struggle just as these men are struggling through also. Bless them Lord for the important work they do.
Thanks for sharing and always feeding our souls with the Truth of the Bible doctrines.
What a magnificent blessing,Thank You!
My pastor was wanting to take me to the new conference John had but wasn't able to go. He wanted to introduce me to john and his wife. My pastor was John and his wife's security guard. He and his wife tells me stories about them. A great blessing to have moved from my old church to my new church. I know it was God that lead me to were I am now.
I really enjoyed this. Learned a lot. May God continue to keep these men as they teach.
Why is R.C. always so cool in these panels lol. There is always something that makes watching him so involving.
Caleb Choueiri YES!!!! So sad to lose him but grateful for everything he has shared and taught! Truly an amazing man!
Thank you for taking the time to share this video. God Bless
Thank you Lord for sending us these men. God bless these preachers.
I love you all.
I am. Bless inspired and challenge hearing from these men of God
I just love all of you on this panel but RC will always be my favorite. He teaches like no other and he’s so funny. Love you all. May God bless you all. RC I will meet you in heaven and I am so happy about that.
Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow God is with me. His rod and His staff will comfort me. i will fear no evil. We are continually in the valley of the shadow of death.
47:53 Amen!
Great point, Begg!
We will see the fullness of God's glory in Christ.
Yes, the working of God in us thru the word changes our behavior.
These guys are awesome
Alistair Begg is so right about it and so Ferguson
_I understand One being yet 3 person's but I have this very deep grief filled longing to see the Father. Jesus, my Savior absolutely but the Father... I am 55yo but still a little girl in need of her Father. Maranatha_
God is spirit. You will never “see” the essence of God in the way that you’ll see the physical aspect of Christ’s human nature.
You won't see these real men of God on TBN
So you somehow think that preachers that are on TBN are not ... real??.... What a foolish thing to say. The sin of pride is worse than being on TBN . Jesus despised the fariseism and the self-righteousness more than anything. When I hear this people , they always isolate themselves and erect walls around as being better and more intelligent and etc etc and that's pride, spiritual pride. Jesus despises that more than being a TBN preacher.
That’s because TBN is a celebrity driven cash machine whose air time is reserved only for prosperity preaching and so called ‘miracle workers’.
Erix7810
I don’t watch TBN , I know what you’re saying . That was not my point, I will never worship people, like I see a lot of the people here worship JMc or Alister etc. I’ve heard Alister saying one time that he adores and loves passionately Simon and Garfunkel . For me that a no no . A man of God has nothing to do with Satan worshipers . So I completely stop listening to his sermons. He’s complete hypocrite . He criticizes people that preach on TBN but he’s the same. And I could give you countless ex with JMc and all of them . The apostles and Jesus were extremely humble but look at preachers nowadays including everyone on that panel .... where is their humility .
With most of the people today is Like during Paul’s days : I’m of the Apollo , another one I follow Paul or a Peter etc. and not to many .... Jesus ! ... it’s a long subject
Dorin Matei You throw someone out completely because they enjoy a certain secular musician? Wow.. yikes.
Erix7810 ... so you’ll be alright if I like 50 cents or Chappelle or whatever their name is. Well they’re kinda little profane but if I enjoy them why do you judge me.... your argument....
Anyone that enjoys people that don’t worship God anathema to me. Don’t care about spots personalities anyone ....
I know I’m narrow minded sorry to disappoint you...
no one is holy in himself, only God makes you holy. God's grace sets you free and that's the only way you can be free indeed,
Though I pray he halts my sinning and purifies my trust.
Excellent men
I love the game of golf. How great to think of walking with
god in that way--a great analogy. Also, studying the nature of God, His character enjoy so much trying to get to know God more, by studying His nature and who He is, not just what He has done. I also, use hymns as a part of time alone with God. The words of some of those great hymns can glorify God so much better than I can. How great is our God.!? I can't express it in my meager words. Thankyou to these great men of God and so many others who have helped me to grow in my walk with our incredible and so precious Savior.
no matter who you are, or where you are, god have his way of touching a person heart and speaking to them in such a miraculous way that you feel it in your soul, trying to walk away only to be tormented within your heart,as jeremiah the prophet said his word is like a burning fire in my heart,
Amen brother .
Alastair Begg is awesome.
Calbenmike
Amen!
Praise God, not man.
Begs service each Sunday is the only true worship in Word and song I have in this season of America
@@thispak to so say Allistair Begg is awesome does not mean , we praise him. He will be the first one to say to God all the praise. He is an awesome preacher through Jesus Christ alone. God gave him an awesome gift and that preach the true Word of God. Allistair Begg is a normal person with an extraordinary gift for preaching
@@martinettebrits3400 yes!
All of the Attributes of God are eternal therefore we will spend eternity learning more and more about God.
Ligonier = Great!
Ligonier is all I trust on this planet
Well, that’s heretical.
Reformed Forum is also excellent.

The Holy Spirit just gave me a connection! Jonathan was the man that helped King David, and it is John the Baptist that baptizes Jesus. I believe the way John felt is about the same if not more love for Jesus than Jonathan having love for David. God bless
Rejoice is bliss! Receive is bliss! Bless is bliss! Bless is prayer!
Love to hear these guys! Eep MacArthur!
The Spirit takes the things of Christ and shows them to us
Amen and Amen
5 sermons a thousand times..made me laugh..
It reminds me of "moral government theogy' that was taught in ywam when I was there in 1988.
Does anyone else think Alistair Begg looks like Paul McCartney.
Natalie McGuiness
I think that ALL the time😀
@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC you're funny.
Love listening to these famous and remarkable theologians discuss matters of theology amongst themselves and other students about the Nature and Plans of GOD. However, when I get to The Kingdom of Heaven, I don’t expect to have to pass a test in order to enter or stay. I may be wrong, but I am a Child of GOD and Father hasn’t revealed all to me yet.
Follow all that Jesus was, He should be our very best role model in life.
Margaret Macleod The problem is that people only see a loving Jesus, there is no Justice, or curse with their Jesus.
Amen
I am sharing Ligonier Ministries questions and answers🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Trust us our saviour! Rejoice!
He created rejoice!
“Great golfers and their Lies” Lol!! Well done, gentlemen. It’s about Him, not us. It’s about His message, not our lives.
RIP RC. What a loss.
? At 50 min. mark, the question was, what happens to the Holy Spirit when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death? What is his role? I believe that he shields and comforts our spirit so that we can see, feel, and hear God's presence all around us.
Great point by Begg around 21:00
Good morning, it is possible to get your videos with spanish subtitles?
Thanks. God bless you
Spend time rejoicing in trust
amen
I just want it to start from the beginning but still good stuff.
Stand in trust is salvation

The glory of God is seen in the face of Jesus Christ We see God's Face in Christ
Now when the people complained, it displeased the LORD. For the LORD heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed SOME in the outskirts of the camp.
Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout THEIR families. Everyone @ the door of His tent.
And the anger of the LORD was GREATLY aroused. Moses also was displeased.
