- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2015
- Liberal, Catholic, Dispensational, Pentecostal, Evangelical, Reformed… with so many different theologies out there, where do you start? Beginning this series about Reformed Theology, Dr. Sproul examines distinctive aspects of Reformed Theology which set it apart from the many theologies that have developed before and after the Protestant Reformation.
This is the 1st in a series of messages by Dr. Sproul on Reformed theology. See other videos in the series: • What Is Reformed Theol...

I didn’t know that what I believe is called Reformed Theology 😂until i listened to this. No wonder why I don’t agree in most preachings of the Pentecostals😅thanks for this great video.
Hi I believe that Reformed Theology is Biblical Christianity. Can you expound what Pentecostals believe in? I do have a friend that is a Pentecost, she says it is the same as what I believe (Reformed Theology) and of course what I practice.
@@graceswyles8337 reformed religion is a Calvanistic belief and it is just that religion...they do not believe in moves of the Holy Spirit and they are cessationists which is totally antibiblical. Pentecostals are more Armenian in belief, are not cessationist and do believe the Holy Spirit is alive and well moving in the hearts and lives of men and we get excited about that. They tread dangerously to believe this way.
Reformed theology is NOT fully explained here. Throughout his several videos, sproul explains that Reformed Theology is actually a newer age Calvinism. Despite my disagreements with some of those statements such as that, I still appreciate his logic.
@@natalieamberger2432 You don't have to be a cessationist if you're calvinist. That's absurd.
@@natalieamberger2432 reformed theology is very biblical and not against the Holy Spirit whatsoever😂
This man was an an incredible teacher. He has now fully entered into the joy of his master. Can't wait to meet you RC.
Calvinism is of Satan; he was no man of God.
@@ronald968 ridiculous!
Not at all..Test everything to Scripture.
@@ronald968arminianism and Pelagianism is heresy.
I'm glad that there are some churches that still provide logical reasoning in their sermons, not the emotional stuff found in most sermons. This is rare, thanks.
R.C. Sproup taught some of the adult Sunday School class back at College Church just across from Wheaton College during my undergraduate years at that Liberal Arts College. Almost 30 years later I have baptized my 10 year old triplets in a PCA church and today they take communion at Faith Presbyterian Church in Fairless Hills, Pa just North of Philadelphia. Raising them up in the reformed Faith..successfully Catechism over the last 12 weeks and glad they are in a Covenant Community.
In the bible Jesus was playing like he was the judge of the universe the creator big mistake
@@Emrio3 That's exactly the point He was trying to prove, with all his miracles and teaching. He taught like no one had ever taught before. His miracles pointed to one thing, His deity!!!! He is the creator and sustainer of the universe. See John 1:1-2, Matthew 28:18, Colossians 1: 15-17, Revelation 1:1 - 22:21. The whole bible is about Jesus. You miss that and you miss the whole point of the bible.
Thanks for sharing this. Jesus said I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. Without believing this it’s impossible to be saved. Not works but faith is the only way to heaven. Please study Paul’s letters to the Corinthians
Yeah ikr??
What Is Reformed Theology? This series by R.C. Sproul is now available on TH-cam with subtitles in Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Wonderful series R.C.!!!! What a blessing you are to my family and I. God bless you dear saint and beloved brother!!!!
Hi Ligonier, is it possible to have this series with French subtitles as well? God bless

I love how you guys are translating your videos for other countries, you’re a great ministry. 👍👍👍👍 I gave you 5 thumbs up, 1 on your comment and 4 in my comment.
@@jeremybrowning6895 false and UNBIBLICAL doctrines of the DEVIL
Excellent! I started listening to reformed theology with RC Sproul only 2 months ago. I can't stop. I had been enjoying the teaching of John MacArthur. I decided to find out what Ligonier Ministries was about. I've been embracing these truths almost every night, all night, of the same Bible study compilations of Reformed Theology, and the Holiness of GOD. This has blessed my life enormously, even after 45 years of studying the scriptures. My journey to overcoming arminianism and understanding Reformed Theology - came late in my sojourn. My gratitude to everyone whom has taught me so much, all who minister at or through Ligonier Ministries. To GOD be all the glory & praise...forever.
Glad to hear you’re making progress in your journey out of Arminianism! 😉👍
It's sad that you are now in a false religion from man's mind through the devil's trickery for false doctrines like Calvinism and Cessationism are false and UNBIBLICAL doctrines of the DEVIL
Yes, John MacArthur and RC Sproul are such faithful true believers, great Pastors and such great friends with eachother. Ligonier conferences are such a blessing.
It’s false teaching
@@Gospelogian Do you honestly believe that Calvinism is a Christian doctrine?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful series. I'll probably have to listen to it 4 or 5 times to begin to understand.
I think I'll be listening to this series for the next 4-5 years to stimulate and refresh my devotion.
It's says..from 7 years ago. I just listened to it today for the first time. It's one of the cherished nuggets I stumble on regularly. Please, never stop posting these. Thank you for this ministry.
RC Sproul. I miss him. Luckily, we have a LOT of him and his teachings saved.
Calvinism and Reforned theology are not of God.
@@ronald968I have seen such a statement made by children of satan. And this is another one.
thank you Dr Sproul, see you in heaven! For me, this is, besides his lecture about God's holiness, the best of his lectures!
Much obliged dr R.C. Sproul. God bless you!
These videos are the true blessing. R.C. Sproul is one of my favourite pastors-teachers. But we definitely are Christians firstly and then Calvinists. Knowledge is so important, but debating with the Arminian bretheren with love is more important. Greetings from Ukraine (Evangelical Reformed Presbyterian church of Odesa).
You certainly can't be a follower of Jesus Christ and a Calvinist
Arminians are not brothers as you can see. They chose their own imagination
Ah R.C Sproul is such a classic! Love His distinction between theology and religion!
Every false preacher tells the truth on occssion.
The devil himself even tells the truth on occssion.
Sproul is demonic.
@@ronald968you are confused and don't have discernment. arminianism and pelagianism is heresy.
😲👏👏👏 What a treasure!!! Dr. Sproul, so profound! You will be truly missed! 🥺
Hey MakemeOverMommy. I'm a brazilian christian and I've been studied english because I wish to be a missionary. Can you be my friend for practing english? I need to write and speaking English. I've stidied alone, but I not Speak because i am not a partner. God Bless you and your family. Thanks a lot
Thank you for this profound series. I love listening to these lectures. This is a treasure. So liberating. So grateful.!!
Praise our Lord for blessing us with you pastor R.C ✝️🤍
Yes, we must understand what we are believing. We must have a true Theology about God, Jesus, and the Spirit, on their true nature and relationship. We must read and learn other related matters so to understand the Bible. We must use reason, not emotion, to understand the theology about the true God.
No you must use BOTH! God made us emotional beings to express those emotions to him even in praise and dance. Reformed theology is against ANY emotionalism, it is a dry dead denomination/doctrine of man. Read and study the book of acts and then ask yourself how reformed and emotionless the early church was. Calvanism is NOT of God and is a doctrine of man.
Thank you for opening my eyes. We miss you Dr. RC Sproul. God bless your ministries( Legonier)
We all are so lucky to have a great teacher like RC.
Showing us to look in depth of our Living Word, but also the eras of the ignorance of others fools who believe everything came from nothing.
Glory to our Heavenly Father who is pure love with his Holiness.
“ Love the Lord your God with all your heart, your soul, your mind and love your neighbor as yourself” the greatest commandment.
한국말로 자막 달아 주셔서 감사합니다. Thank you for your effort to make subtitles in Korean. I wish this lecture have great impact on Korean churrch!
GOD BLESS THE KOREAN CHURCH OF JESUS !!!
SR Kim Hopefully this disease of reformed theology doesn’t keep spreading.
What a tragedy it’s now being spread to Korea.
Take heed this is a warning you will be held accountable for leading others astray.
Reformed theology is a false doctrine that preaches another Christ.
You have been warned.
@@apilkey Yes, unlike Freewill Baptists, reformed folks actually preach the Jesus from the Bible.
Joshua Theo They definitely don’t preach the Jesus from the Bible.
They preach the god of John Calvin and not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The God of the Bible sent His Son to die for all of humanity and not just a select few.
The God of the Bible extends a genuine offer to anyone to freely accept the free gift of salvation.
That’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
His death, burial and resurrection making salvation freely available to all.
Reformers preach a false gospel with no hope.
@@apilkey Not true. All John Calvin did was being these truths to light. It's all in the scripture. It speaks on the elect many times.
Thank you brother. I really needed this. I'm really looking forward to watching this whole series...God bless and ty again!
Sermons after my heart.
Thank you.
New age Christianity brought me to the reformed teachings and thank God he made his truth be known.
Amen!
Much obliged dr Sproul. It's so great presentation. I'm from Indonesia.
I am a seminary graduate and many at times the small still voice within me has asked to include R C Sproul into my theological reading but I regret that I neglected R C Sproul. He will hereafter definitely be my favourite theologian.
That voice is Satan, not the Holy Spirit.
@@apilkeyRather than making an explicit statement better give a sound reason to infer it's not God's leading..
@@regiezechariah3527 Because reformed theology/Calvinism/TULIP/Doctrines of “Grace” is satanic that’s why.
It’s the spirit of the antichrist.
It’s everything opposite of scripture.
Jesus Christ died for all of humanity without exception and GENUINELY offers salvation to WHOSOEVER.
Calvinism and this man preach the exact opposite.
They believe in a false gospel and a false Christ who only died for a select group of elitists and that God damns some to hell before the foundation of world with zero hope of salvation.
If you haven’t been chosen then too bad.
They also believe God ordains whatsoever comes to pass which includes EVERYTHING.
Which means we’re robots.
@@apilkey It may sound unfortunate but I too genuinely struggle with the predestine theology. Anyone and everyone can come to Christ and His atonement on the Cross is not just for a few elect. Apart from this one pivotal aspect RC Sproul really rocks...!
@@regiezechariah3527 If you ask yourself “who” is being predestined and “what are they being predestined to” it’s really quite simple.
Not once in all of scripture is it ever an individual unbeliever being unconditionally predestined to become a believer.
Predestination in scripture is always in reference to someone who is already a believer and already saved.
I'm new to reformed theology, and yet it feels like an old familiar glove to my soul. Scripture has and will continue to stand the test of time. Leave our carnal feelings out of it.
There’s nothing scriptural about reformed theology.
It’s carnal from the sinful flesh of fallen man and not of God.
@@apilkey Every point of reformed theology is scriptural. The onus on you is to show that it is not and show from the scriptures that it's carnal and from the sinful flesh of fallen man. These are just empty statements you make without any backing. You're a one trick pony that is blind to what the Bible says on this topic.
@@philipmurray9796 None of the points of reformed theology is scriptural and the onus is on you not me to prove otherwise.
I’ve already proven you wrong on pre-faith regeneration.
It’s scripturally impossible to be born again before you’re justified.
That truth will never change.
@@philipmurray9796 You’re the one making radical claims not me.
Starting in Genesis 1:1 and reading straight through the Bible I base my doctrines and beliefs only on what I observe in the text.
If I don’t observe scripture speak of something then I have no reason to believe it’s true.
There’s lots of things the Bible does NOT say and we can’t make an affirmative statement surrounding something that the Bible doesn’t mention.
For example, the Bible doesn’t say that the 12 disciples all played on a professional baseball team together so I would not form a doctrine around that and say that they did.
If someone claimed that they did the burden of proof would be on them to proof that statement is true because they’re the ones making that affirmative statement.
The burden of proof would not be on me to try and prove them wrong because I’m not making a positive claim for something to be true that scripture doesn’t say.
1) The onus is on you not me to prove mankind is totally incapable of positively responding to God’s Divine Initiative.
2) The onus is on you not me to prove pre-faith regeneration because it’s scripturally impossible to be born again (have eternal life) before you’re justified.
Logically speaking or whatever way you want to slice it, LOGICALLY it’s impossible.
3) The onus is on you not me to prove unconditional election because nowhere in scripture is an individual unbeliever ever unconditionally chosen or elected or predestined to become a believer.
If you’re making that radical claim then it’s YOU not me that has to prove it.
So far I’ve asked you about 5 or 6 times and you have still failed.
You’re a one trick pony who has zero scripture on your side.
All you have is proof texts that don’t say what you need them to say.
@@apilkey it's up to you to prove none of the points are scriptural. You have not provided anything from scriptures to disprove them. All you have is emotional argumentation based on a man centered theology.
Thank you! So true!
Thanks for share this series with us.
God bless you :)
thank you! 감사합니다!
I can't wait to go through the TULIP videos and study. Thank you RC for your dedication to teaching about GOD :)
GREETINGS. YOU SHOULD STUDY FLOWERS INSTEAD. THIS DOCTRINE IS DANGEROUS AND MAN MADE.
@@mercibeaucoup2639 absolutely. Finally, someone that has good sense. Read my comment I posted on this video. 👍
@@mercibeaucoup2639
It is easy to feign knowledgable but being a scholar is quite a thing in itself and that is Dr. Sproul is.
@@josephmathew3193 GREETINGS. ROGER EUGENE OLSON IS AN AMERICAN BAPTIST THEOLOGIAN AND PROFESSOR OF CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY OF ETHICS AT THE BAYLOR UNIVERSITY. THIS CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR COMPLETELY OPOSSES MR. SPROULS TEACHINGS ON THE TULIP OF CALVINISM. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? GOD BLESS YOU.
@@josephmathew3193 the Pharisees and Saducees were great scholars of the word in their time. SAUL before he became Paul was also one BUT DEAD WRONG !
Your point carries zero weight!!
thank you dr sproul
Dr. SPROUL rest in peace.
The more I study Gods word the more I find this theology to be true. This doctrine is found from beggining to end not because I want it to be, but because it is
James Nichiniello I’m newer to Reformed theology but I’m finding the same.
James Nichiniello that’s funny because the more I’ve studied the more I’m finding this is the doctrine of demons and a false gospel.
The complete opposite is true throughout the scriptures from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21.
Scripture must be twisted so far out of context for reformed theology to work.
You know what’s tragically sad and twisted with reformed theology?
...that in Jesus own parable of the Good Samaritan it’s not even guaranteed that Jesus Christ Himself would have stopped and helped the man on the side of the road.
Maybe a 50/50 chance.
Maybe less.
And not only that it would be totally random for no apparent reason.
James Nichiniello you should read your bible and stop relying on men like this to tell you what's right that's what the holy spirt is for. So you study the Bible and then rely on mans theology? Just because that what RC says or any other Reformer. It's sad when they preach they have to bash all the other people to make there point right
James - no one in the "natural" wants to accept this theology. But, once it is received, there is a freedom like none other we have known. They struggle against it because it requires humility to accept it, and no one in the "natural" is humble.
@@77ronboy True - but you cannot force faith - faith is a gift from God - I can master theology like a virtuoso but without the Holy Spirit : worthless. Bach the german composer wrote on every sheet "all glory to God". Humility elevates - pride destroys
So... RIP my brother in Christ and cherished father in the faith. Also, every convert to Christianity should watch this video, even if they dont complete the series (which they should).
The best theological perspective of the study of God truly well thought out🙂

Such a great theologian!
Thank you
I’m not to familiar with reformed theology nor do I agree with RC Sproul but I like listening to different viewpoints
why do you disagree?
A year ago (as of 2022), you said that you were not too familiar with reformed theology, nor did you agree with RC Sproul.
Have you continued to be curious about and researched reformed theology more, and compared it to what the Bible teaches?
Someone I knew taught me to look at every detail, I.e.: “them” vs. “us”, and to follow words throughout the entire Bible. I found consistency and have been fascinated with “word searches” in the Bible since, with even the most simple words, such as “star”, “tree”, “light”, and “water”.
Word searches have only deepened my beliefs regarding sin (our own individually), forgiveness (God providing us an option), justice (God doing what is right because He is holy), mercy (God not giving us what we deserve), and grace (God giving us what we don’t deserve).
@@salauerman7082 my friend thank you for your concern and for your attempt at trying to reach me, after listening & researching very thoroughly i have come to the conclusion that Calvinism is Unbiblical. & the same goes for it’s faulty foundation it is set upon which is the Doctrine of the Trinity.
While RC Sproul may have been well intentioned i don’t believe he was biblical in viewing the Bible through the lens of Calvinism & the Nicene Council, i believe God has called all men unto him not a select few, & that God wants all men to repent,& be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins & you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. There is Only One God & he changes NOT & his revealed name is “Jesus”.
@@5warpotentials258 I think that you were correct that God calls all, I also believe that not all listen to God‘s call.
I also believe that you are correct that God desires for all men to repent and be saved, although I also believe that not all men want to repent, only to be saved from the consequences of their decisions.
It sounds like you have studied the Bible. Do you believe that by faith in scripture alone, as God’s word to us, we may learn God’s Will, repent, and be saved?
we are going over this in our young adult sunday school class
I wanna go to your church!!
@@Qui_Gon_Jinn_76 “Run away. Calvinism is heresy,” says Satan.
@@Qui_Gon_Jinn_76 Billy Graham and Satan are basically synonymous when it comes to speaking truth. Thank you. American megachurch doctrine isn’t truth, FYI.
@@Qui_Gon_Jinn_76 Nice. Have you ever heard the things he said?
@@jakeabbatacola5092 not all, not all, but most.
My eyes were opened as soon as I learned about Reformed theology. I shortly became a Calvinist because I believe the system (eventhough it has its flaws) recognizes God as the main center and primary source of exegetically understanding HIS word for us.
Hi Walsh…glad you’re eyes where opened to reformed theology… If you have the time I would like to ask you what you believe the flaws of reformed theology are?
I am just a simple layman in the faith learning all the time and I was just curious?
@@Mattissaved As a Calvinist, how would you know God predestined you to be with Him in HEAVEN or is it just a GUESSING game ?
@@J_a_s_o_n
1 John 5:10-13
[10] He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. [11] And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. [12] He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. [13] These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
I'm sorry to hear you fell vicitm to the false teachings of Calvinism. I'll be praying for you.
@@leonardu6094 You disagree with the 5 Solas?
There has indeed been a demise of confessional theology in the life of the Church. God lead us back to The Truth!
I wish these videos were a little louder it's almost impossible to listen to on a phone
Simply this core truth: Theology is GOD based, religion is man based.
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
- James 1:26-27
"Department of Religion" is a good name to distinguish "religion" from the distinctness of the "fellowship" of God that is restored with Salvation.
Bonjour, serait-il possible que quelqu'un traduise tous ces enseignements en Français ?? Je ne comprends rien à l'anglais ou l'américain et je suis très intéressée par ses enseignements. Merci d'avance.😊
Why are a lot of videos posted and the "comments" are turned off? I do not understand why this is. I would love to comment about how I love teachings, but I cannot. I know you can answer this question. Thank you and may the Most High God bless you.
"On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out,
saying, "If any man thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me,
as the scripture has said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water."
But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive;
for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
I haven’t studied all the denominations. Can someone give me an example of a reformed theology, church, and one that isn’t . I think he might’ve been talking about Catholic versus protestant.
😅😅😅😅😅😅🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
What year is this jawn?
Hi everyone, i have a question concerning the sovereignty of God that some are predestined to be save and some are predestined to damnation. So, what if the person wanted to be save? Can he ask God for it?
Second question, I want my family members to be save so i pray to God for their salvation? Does God can grant my prayer?
If they belong to Jesus then they will ask for it.
Prayer means to bow to God‘s will.
No one wants to be "saved" un less the Father draws Him
All already rejected God.
Just a friendly reminder to my Christian brethren: SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY IS THE QUEEN OF THE SCIENCES!
All other sciences are simply handmaidens of the QUEEN!
Sometimes they are loyal; sometimes they are betrayers (eg., "knowledge falsely so-called," 1 Tim 6:20).
*Soli Deo Gloria*
Maybe I'm not too bright, but I guess I'll have to watch another video to find out what reformed theology is
Hey Rob, how has your search been coming my friend?
@@doug2993 he didnt watch this 1 dont be fooled haha
Maybe I don't know about it either but it seems to talk a lot about God's sovreignty and its different aspects in the face of smaller pictures of God.
🙏
Crazy how even then, the prosperity gospel was already prevalent. Based on feelings and the watering down of theology--to even getting rid of it. Sad reality. 19:27
The way I see it, theology is idolatry...
@@fenguzth you're stupefaction is your idol obviously 😄😄😄😄😄
Watch the following TH-cam video by Dr. Ken Wilson "Was Augustine the first to introduce "CALVINISM" into the Church? ".
What has come to be known as "Calvinism" came out of Augustine's attempts to explain how infants could become the "elect", through infant baptism. Since the infant had not come to faith, it must be based on the will of another. It could not be based on the will of the child.
Does regeneration precede faith in Ephesians 1:13, and Acts 11:15-17?
.
Augustine was not infallible. Certainly his teaching on Baptising an infant to become elect was false. He taught other things that Reformed people don't believe. In the case of any man, we have to be discerning. The final authority is always Scripture alone and all of Scripture. We remember that "the best of men are men at best". We want to always be Berean Christians who search the Scriptures continuously.
Yes, regeneration always precedes faith. John 3, Ephesians 2.
@Yeshua Messiah If I am wrong about Augustine trying to explain how infants could become the "elect" through water baptism, then I will be glad to be corrected. Augustine said since the child had not come to faith, it must be based upon the will of another. It could have nothing to do with the will of the child.
@Yeshua Messiah Augustine went against the early Church Fathers before him, and against 25 years of his own ministry in an attempt to explain infant baptism..This is an undeniable fact found in Ken Wilson's book.
@Yeshua Messiah Is every person commanded to "repent"?
@Yeshua Messiah Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Is a person's repentance required above as a part of conversion? Does God repent for you?
Question….Do Calvinist really have a Gospel to preach? If so what is it?.
My reason for asking is if we are predestined to be saved and God only chose a few to be saved, what is the good news for the world?
Aren't you ruling out the possibiblity of predestining good (and bad) news? Moreover: is it bad news that some gets saved compared to none at all? If God saves some by choice; who says he doesn't have the authority or having had the final determining judgment according to what is the ultimate good? Are you sure you aren't questioning God's integrity? If you are: why are you doing it?
@@booyaka870 questioning Gods integrity by questioning when HE said He wish ALL WOULD BE SAVED AND NONE GO TO HELL? This in and of itself either says Calvinist are wrong, or God does not have ultimate power. The Bible says seek ye first the kingdom of God. Yet Calvinist believe we as people don’t have that ability.
According to Calvinist, they are saved despite whether Jesus died or not. They were saved before Jesus went to the cross. I could go on and on about the contradictions of Calvinism vs the Bible. I choose believing the Bible.
@@righteousrebelmedia5934 Fundamental misunderstanding of calvinism is what you are presenting. A couple of points: 1: "seek ye first" doesn't rule out that the "ye" are already believers. 2: the action "seek" doesn't present iself necessarily independently of God's enablement of the ability to seek. 3: really a build upon #2: God can give you the ability but if he doesn't you can't.
@@booyaka870 You are really out of touch. Jesus died for all to be saved. All means everyone. That’s one. Second If you are predestined to be saved, there is no need to seek, there is no need to present your body a holy sacrifice, there is no need to be told to trust in the Lord or lean not unto your own understanding. These things were already predestined thus you don’t have the ability to do any of it. Third….. if you were predestined, there was no need for Jesus to die, God is cruel since you were already chosen to go to heaven with or without Him.
@@righteousrebelmedia5934 First off, you'll need scripture for your statements. That really ends your whole charade with the rest of your points. I do not make doctrine out of assumptions and assertions.
One of a sad few giants for truth in the modern age. He is sorely missed. Wish he was right on baptism😊
:)
You're an idiot
I see so much of this "religion" practiced today, in the worship of animals. The "adoption" of dogs has grown expotentially in the past 5-10 years - so that these animals are now considered of higher value than humans, and are even called "fur babies", adorned with clothing, identified with human-type names, and their owners (although they would never consider themselves as such) call themselves "parents" or "moms" of particular breeds and don t-shirts declaring their status of devotion "Chihuahua Mom" "Too busy spending time with my dog" "Dog hair, don't care", etc. It is a religion, with equal zeal , devotion, and evangelism.
Romans 1:18-25?
At about the 6:20 Mark, Dr Sproul introduces the difference between the study of Faith / God Centered and the opposite Man Centered. I have had profound insight into this matter myself. It is Enormously significant. In the science models, the primarly classification of importance is the category titled HUMAN. In theology, "human" does not apply by definition. Why? Look at an science based book for Human Anatomy. You will find neither SOUL, nor SELF, nor will you find "you" or an "I" nor "Person" in human anatomy. So when people are discussed, the identity is not the same thing as the persons recognized in the Holy Bible and Christian Theology. Any time people use the categories of HUMAN or HUMANITY, or even HUMAN RIGHTS, they are not referring to the same thing as the persons recognized in scripture nor in Theological Study. Persons have a Soul. Human Beings DO NOT! This escapes the thinking of most people, and this confusion is why so many people rely upon some sort of Psychological Understanding as their premises, and are thereby completely misguided and also very manipulated. If you identify as a Christian, you are not (theologically) human. Humans have no Soul. Look it up in the books if you will. There is no "Self" in human anatomy.
To be rational, Christians should be recognizing this distinction. I might think generally that I am "human" of course, in some contexts. But that is not consistent with Christian Theology, nor should it be thought to be the same. (Actually, "human rights" is a misnomer and an Oxymoron). Look at the anatomy books. No "rights" are there. This is a matter of the fundamental distinction between the Physical and the Metaphysical.
The "human" has no soul. That is why people are so confused. They have little or no theological understanding at all.
I need a help guys
What's up bud?
He is such a wonderful teacher and man of God. I attended a reformed church this week and believe it is not for me. I love Walter Veiths teachings on freemasonry but I will not attend Seventh Day Adventist. I'm getting the feeling that the church for me will not have the perfect religion but the right theology.
I don't think I'm a Calvinist. I believe God does still perform some miracles and give visions but only in accordance to his perfect will, so limited. Tongues are blasphemy. Word of Faith is new Age. Non denominational does not really give reverence to God. I felt the reformed church was dead. I don't know how else to say it. I'm going to try a Lutheran church this week lol. Does anyone know of another church?
There is only one Church, established by Jesus at Pentecost. This man and his “reformed theology” is not from God. Sola scriptura and sola fide are heretical teaching.This man, nor his teaching is NOT infallible. Why listen to him?

Halfway in, he says reformed theology is a theology and not a religion, then he says it is a belief system...but that is religion itself, a belief system that you choose to adapt is your religion and out of it is your actions...

Heretical prayer: O Mother of Perpetual Help, thou art the dispenser of all the gifts which God grants to us miserable sinners; and for this end He has made thee so powerful, so rich, and so bountiful, in order that thou mayest help us in our misery. Thou art the advocate of the most wretched and abandoned sinners who have recourse to thee: come to my aid, for I recommend myself to thee.
In thy hands I place my eternal salvation, and to thee I entrust my soul. Count me among thy most devoted servants; take me under thy protection, and it is enough for me. For, if thou protect me, I fear nothing; not from my sins, because thou wilt obtain for me the pardon of them; nor from the devils, because thou art more powerful than all hell together; nor even from Jesus, my judge, because by one prayer from thee He will be appeased.
But one thing I fear: that in the hour of temptation I may through negligence fail to have recourse to thee and thus perish miserably. Obtain for me, therefore, the pardon of my sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace ever to have recourse to thee, O Mother of Perpetual Help.
This is a legit Roman Catholic prayer, look up "O Mother of Perpetual Help" if you want to know if it’s legit.

These verses speak of God’s dispositional will. God wants for all to be saved (He is grieved that some are not), yet he has decreed (decreed will) that only those whom He calls shall be saved. God has a dispositional will, decreed (sovereign) will and a preceptive will.

Why is there so much argument over whether someone is a Calvinist or not? John Calvin was not the first theologian to come up with the idea of unconditional election or predestination (Paul, Augustine, and then Martin Luther)? Besides there is no system or paradigm that can account for every tension in Scripture. People talk about how unbiblical Dr. Sproul's view of salvation is but yet there isn't a single rational Bible believer who doesn't respect Sproul's grasp of theology or Church history. In saying all that, Am I a five point Calvinist? Never gave much thought to it. However, Ephesians 1:3-5 does make a strong case for RC's view of election. I think that people don't like this view of election because it makes God to be unfair or a liar.
am gentry what is really fair is we all go to hell.
John Williams it would be totally fair however we as humans wouldn't see it that way, they don't even like the thought of God saving some & not the majority, because it pleases him to do so, people like to line God up & tell him how it's done because they have a better understanding of what's fair than what he does. Even if God told these people with an audible voice confirming Sproul, Luther, Calvin, Augustine's teachings, these same people would tell God he's unjust & unfair till he would blow their narrow minds like he did Job, who ended up putting his hand on his mouth & zipping his lips in shame & he had far more reason to complain than any of these people do. They put too much emphasis on their extremely limited understanding of what's fair & just.
nick torea AMEN
On the flip side, without an election it’s either all are damned or the selection is arbitrary and cannot explain anything
nick torea has nothing to do with fairness.
Has everything to do with is it scriptural or not.
The major error of limited atonement is that it teaches salvation is completed at the cross only. We are not saved only by the cross the world is reconciled (as enemies, ungodly, sinners) but we are saved by his LIFE! You have to come to Jesus Christ for His Life, otherwise you will not receive the forgiveness, because the forgiveness that He paid for is in His resurrected Life. Salvation is not just getting your sins forgiven. Romans 5: 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
SoundMind amen Christ’s death didn’t secure salvation for anyone.
Only faith in Christ secured one’s salvation.
As you said and as scripture clearly states we are saved by His LIFE.
If Christ be not risen your faith is in VAIN!
You know what’s tragically sad and twisted with reformed theology?
...that in Jesus own parable of the Good Samaritan it’s not even guaranteed that Jesus Christ Himself would have stopped and helped the man on the side of the road.
Maybe a 50/50 chance.
Maybe less.
And not only that it would be totally random for no apparent reason.
Wrong. His life, meaning the righteousness with which he lived it being perfect in obedience to the Father, is what is imputed to us but it was the death of Christ that secured salvation for His people. This is why He cried out it is finished. To say Christ death didn't secure salvation for anyone is heresy and a false gospel.
jeffrey harper YOU SAID: “To say Christ’s death didn’t secure salvation is heresy and a false gospel.”
REPLY: Scripture verse please.
If you can’t provide one then that proves it’s simply your opinion.
Scripture is my authority and not your opinion.
If scripture is also your authority then you will be able to provide a scripture verse that clearly tells us that Christ’s death secures salvation.
jeffrey harper YOU SAID: “This is why He cried out it is finished.”
REPLY: Again your OPINION of why He cried out it is finished.
JOHN 19:30
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, IT IS FINISHED: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Everything that was supposed to be finished is finished and everything that wasn’t supposed to be finished is NOT finished but will be finished when it’s supposed to be finished.
When Christ died on the cross and cried out “it is finished” it was instantaneous and the new covenant was established immediately upon the death of the testator which was Christ.
Nothing was finished that was not supposed to be finished.
Are you glorified yet? Was that finished?
Jesus did NOT say, “EVERYTHING” is finished.
He said “IT” is finished.
FAITH is what secures salvation.
Scripture is overwhelmingly and abundantly clear on that.
Are you claiming to be saved apart from faith?
We enter into the new covenant by FAITH.
The promise of the new covenant is only given to them that BELIEVE so apart from Christ we have no part in the new covenant.
GALATIANS 3:22
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the PROMISE by faith of Jesus Christ MIGHT BE GIVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE.
Christ is the mediator of the new covenant.
He’s The Way.
He’s the guy we gotta go to to have any part in this covenant.
We don’t enter into the new covenant before hand.
It’s literally impossible to have any part in this covenant before coming to Christ in faith because Christ IS the new covenant which is IN His blood.
To have any part in His covenant without Christ is to usurp Christ.
COLOSSIANS 2:10-13
10 And ye are complete IN HIM, which is the head of all principality and power:

13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he QUICKENED TOGETHER WITH HIM, having forgiven you all trespasses;

The thing we have to be careful about is not making theology our golden calf. We can so easily make our studies and what we’ve studied God. So we beat people over the head with what we know; missing the heart of God in his word…my main problem with this is teaching is that there is not a differentiation between knowledge that is studied versus experienced. Knowledge of God needs to be both studied and experienced. Know about God doesn’t mean you actually know him. Knowing about my wife versus, having intimacy with her is very different, but both are important.

I'm reading Matthew 25:31-46 and all I can see is faith alone working itself out in the believer and producing good works. Nothing about faith + good works = Salvation; in there.
The good works are the fruit of true saving faith. They attest to whether we are saved or not.
Faith alone = Salvation + good works

@@FrDavid-wy2qt Hi Fr Dave, I completely agree with the people calling jesus lord and ending up in hell. It just tells me that my profession of faith does not mean I actually possess true saving faith.
My works should show whether I have true saving faith. If I hate fellow man, especially brothers in the faith, my profession to know and love Christ is a complete lie.
True faith is always accompanied by and results in love towards others.
I don't need to love others, in the hope that Christ will love me; but I do it because He loves me. Because He has given me a changed heart, I want to be gracious.
So I give Him all the glory for changing this scumbag.

@@maidenshazza Christ love you brother! Is there a Bible quote that says that?
@@FrDavid-wy2qt Sorry for the late reply Fr Dave. The whole of the new testament letters were written to believers, which is why Paul and James and John addressed them as brothers and beloved, and making a clear distinction between them.and the world. So all the instructions about doing good works, is written to brothers who are already saved. It'not so that they will be saved by those works, but that they will grow in holiness, setting themselves apart from the world and showing fruit of their salvation.
In Philippians 2:12-13, where Paul pleads with them to work out (not work for) their salvation, knowing that even those good works are not of us, but God working in us for His good pleasure.
This is the reason we do good works: because God causes His children to bear fruit in keeping with repentance, conforming us to the image of Christ, to the glory of His holy name.
If it's all about His glory, then my good works, like Philippians 2 says is cause by Him to show who His people truly are.
Reformed Theologians have the gospel correct, but their eschatology about Bible prophecy incorrect.
The Bible tells us in 2 Peter 1:20 that first of all, no prophecy is of one’s own private interpretation. Reformed Theology violates this because their hermeneutics are based off eisegesis, which means they read INTO scripture what it doesn’t say. That’s private interpretation. They allegorize eschatology and that removes the meanings of the text by saying the Bible doesn’t truly mean what it says.
Examples of this are their covenant of grace, covenant of works and covenant of redemption. *Nowhere* in the Bible are there verses that say that. That’s why despite using Genesis 3:15 as a source for Covenant of Grace, they are forced to Redefine Covenant & promise’s because nowhere in the first 8-chapters of Genesis is the word Covenant even used.
Although we are saved through grace, it’s not a covenant. Although Christ’s blood redeemed us, it’s not a covenant. No human has ever been saved by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Nope, not even before Christ. Even the holy men in the Old Testament were ALL deemed righteous because of their faith.
Abel was considered righteous because of his Faith in God, Hebrews 11:4. Enoch’s faith in God pleased Him, Hebrews 11:5. It was by faith in God that Noah was considered righteous, Hebrews 11:7. Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:6-7 & Hebrews 11:17 say Abraham was considered righteous because of his Faith and the list goes on and on through Hebrews 11. It has *always been by faith,* never by works.
Next, *nowhere* in the Old Testament where it said Israel, did it mean the Church. The Bible tells us (Exegesis), in Colossians 1:26 that the Church was a secret, concealed from past generations & previous ages. Ephesians 3:1-13 states a new dispensation of grace was first given to Paul from Christ to share the gospel with the Gentile world. There was no period of Grace before that.
Covenant Theology ignores passages that DO talk about actual Covenants because they are for Israel and Reformed Theology is against Israel. God made everlasting, unconditional & unfulfilled covenants with Abraham & his seed for the land of Israel (Genesis 15, 16 & 17), blessings from it in 2 Samuel 7 and Psalm 89. God explains that it is not based on David's descendants behaving perfectly. So no, when the Jews killed the Messiah, that act did not void these covenants. God threatened to divorce Israel in Jeremiah 3, but didn’t follow through because He doesn’t break promises. When Hosea asked God what to do about his adulterous wife, Hod told him in Hosea 3:1 to go get her & show her the same love & grace He showed the children is Israel even when she committed spiritual adultery.
Even Reform Theology’s own revered supporters like Dr. Louis Berkhof admitted in his famous book, Systemic Theology,
“It must be admitted that the term ‘covenant’ *is not found* in the first three chapters of Genesis, but this is not tantamount to saying that they do not contain the necessary data *for the construction* of a doctrine of the covenant.”
In other words, they made it up. Remember what 2 Peter said about private interpretation. Dr. Berkhof has a bio on Ligonier Ministries website as one the or sources for Covenant Theology. Wow. Another oft quoted Covenant Theologian is Dr. Charles Hodge. In his book, The Covenant of Works, “This system *does not rest* upon any express declaration of the Scriptures.” No scriptural foundation. 2 Peter 1:20 remember.
I could go on and on, but hopefully you understand now why Reformed Theology, Covenant Theology is a false teaching. It’s false doctrine. We are not to create our own hermeneutics. We know Gods plan by what He says. Not by what We say.
The church has not replaced Israel. Jesus will rule & reign in Jerusalem and before Christ returns at the Second Coming, all Israel will be saved by Jesus (Romans 11:25)

The insanity of Calvinism is clearly told by RC. Sproul on answering a question on predestination, in short “…That God positively decrees and determines in advance those whom he will save namely the elect and in the same method he decrees the damnation of the sinner and that just as on the one hand he creates positively saving faith in the hearts of the elect he in an equally determined fashion creates fresh EVIL in the hearts of the reprobate to make sure they don’t come to BELIEVE “ James 1:13 Jeremiah 7:30-31 - “‘The people of Judah have DONE EVIL in my eyes, declares the Lord. They have set up their detestable idols in the house that bears my Name and have defiled it. They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire-SOMETHING I DID NOT COMMAND, NOR DID IT ENTER MY MIND. James 1:13 “Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one”. Genesis 6:6 debunks Calvinism's false teaching that He "predestined" everything including the fall of man, sin, and evil. Calvinists also believe that God created man and then INTENTIONALLY predestined his fall and predestined sin and evil. If that is true, then it makes no logical sense for God to feel regret and be deeply troubled afterwards. Hence, the errant belief that God predestined the fall of man is debunked and blown out of the water. Genesis 6:6 - The Lord REGRETTED that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was DEEPLY TROUBLED. If YOU create something and then intentionally engineer it for FAILURE, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE FEELING REGRET AND BE TROUBLED AFTERWARDS. Jeremiah 7:30-31 - “‘The people of Judah have DONE EVIL in my eyes, declares the Lord. They have set up their detestable idols in the house that bears my Name and have defiled it. They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire-SOMETHING I DID NOT COMMAND, NOR DID IT ENTER MY MIND The Bible teaches John 3:16, NOT "John Calvin 3:16".

*Reformed theology is the actualization of Calvino's heresies.* That theology that creates
a sovereign god that rejoices creating the most of humanity to be in hell for eternity without any opportunity to be saved. Because He is merciful and loving. That one that says you can't loose your salvation even when Jesus and Paul warned us for it. The theology that undermines the cross telling you that what happened there was a limited atonement, etc, etc. The reformed theology is in one word: trash.
Reformed theology, as I thoroughly detailed in answering Aletheia,
is, like Roman Catholicism. a false gospel.
I fully exposed it in my post, using Jesus and Paul and Peter.
So you simply deleted it. Problem solved. Do it again. Would God be watching?
What a fake zombie 😅😅😅
So if God predestined, everything...he must make some people Free Will, believing, believers....in Christ that desires like God, for no man to perish, but for all to come to the saving knowledge of Christ...so they can make a Free Will Choice, or take personal responsibility for their own salvation; whosoever, will!
Stop adding to the word of God...
Reformed is a addition to the word of God. . .adding words to Bibl,e verses that aren't their, to make them read in accordance with reformed theology....
It's the reformed. . .anti "Free Will" people, some times called Heretic Hunters...that is making evil accusations against ... "Spirit Filled" believers.... reformed theology. . .is a cult and anti biblical. They add words like elect, or predestination to Bible verses, that are not part of a verse....to make them read in accordance to reformed theology... it's evil to add to Bible verses...
...Mr. Spurgeon believed that salvation was not a free will choose, believing most men had no hope of salvation. . .
Reformed Calvinism is a very deceptive form of perverting the Gospel, ...and is a cultic teaching.
There is always hope at the cross, for all mankind! John 3:16. . .
The God of the Bible is sovereign and because he is, God through his sovereignty, gave mankind, a free will choice, whosoever will.
Reformed Calvinism takes away the sovereignty of God.
Condemning most men to Hell, without any way of coming to the knowledge of salvation and repentance of their sins, Hodos!
. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 -
[3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; [4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
So, with the starting point being that every human is spiritually dead from birth (Eph. 2:1-3) how do you understand that we, in our spiritually dead condition, make a genuine spiritual response to the call of God? (Rom. 8:5-8)
Hahahaha wow what a zombie strawman
Ignorant uneducated 5hats def an American easy believeism escapist revivalist fundamentalist cult with an IQ of zero no conversion no repentance
Self righteousness still in rule
Fake freewill without haviny the life they want 😅😅😅😅😅
This is for who ever it applies...I will not attack a brother or sister before the World...
The difference is this: All Calvinism is reformed theology; but not all reformed theology is Calvinism. In other words, Calvinism is a subset of Reformed theology... Calvinist are involved in a Cult...they will teach you that God has a chosen few that he preordained to go to heaven... if your not one of these folks, your destiny is only hell no matter if you repent of your sins or not. If God hasn't pick you for heaven you are only destined for hell, and there's nothing you can do about it...my God has predestined salvation for everyone, but it's your choice in the matter...you have a free will choice Romans 10:9-10...my God wants everyone to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ that it's not God's will that any man should perish...
Luke 11:13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.
This man has not been Baptized in the Holy Ghost, and attacks men and women that have . . .beware of this man..he has had some kind of an experience, but you can't go by your emotions and experiences...your emotions can lie to you... Pentecostals send out more missionaries than any other church group in the world...and this man will tell you that is a bad thing... there's a reason why Pentecostals are so passionate about evangelism, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost puts a burden for The Souls of mankind inside of a man and a woman.....
Reformed calvinist will tell you that only a Chosen Few can be saved, the elect the ones that God has predestined...they search the scriptures to backup this cultic teaching, and send out very few evangelist... because the Preaching of the Gospel can not save you if your not part of the elect of God...if you repent in sackcloth and Ashes and humble yourselves, you just will not be let in to this exclusive club called salvation...
It's almost always the reformed believers that will attack Pentecostals . . .the very group that sends out more missionaries than any other church group...we teach that Salvation is for all people's, that God is no respecter of persons, that he wants all people to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ that no man should perish...but be saved...Yes we believe that God has predestined all people to be saved, but it's a free will choice . . .Romans 10:9-10 If you will confess the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God has raised Christ from the dead you will be saved... free well something you do...John 3:16...Hodos!
...
What all believers need is to be filled with the Holy Ghost baptized in the holy spirit with power and dunamis...repent then cry out to God the Holy Ghost and ask him in Prayer to Baptize you in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost...in Jesus name... you'll be talking right once Baptized in the Holy Ghost...Acts 1:4-8... Promise of the Father...then Acts 2:39
There are over 279 million classical Pentecostals, in the whole world, and only 40 million Baptist in the World... Pentecostals are the Largest Evangelical Christian group... Pentecostals send out more missionaries throughout the world then any other church group...pray that God in Christ Jesus would Baptize you with the Promise of the Father the Baptism in the Holy Ghost... Acts 1:4-8 Acts2:2-4 Acts 2:39 Acts 10:44-47 Acts 19:1-6
Then Go into all the World and Preach the Gospel of Salvation to everyone, Mark 16:15...Hodos!
2nd Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
RC is a teacher. Teaching is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as is evangelization . Your faith has teachers also.
