I felt encapsulated with this presentation. It solidified the past few months of teaching, study, and conversations with other believers. Bro., I am sure you are familiar with "here a little, there a little".....? God in our walk; provides in bits and pieces that will end up making a whole Christian ! Thanks for a true blessing.
My family is in great appreciation for your ministry Dr Bernard! Your books and wisdom are a light and a witness to the church and the world. Your focus and apostolic authority is wonderful! Thank you and may the Lord continue to richly bless you!
I’ve been considering first Corinthians 3 for a while, and believe that this a charge to the ministers to be careful how they build, not necessarily a charge for personally how we build our lives, but more how we build the church through making healthy and whole disciples and not tearing down Gods church and destroying the faith of some.
I enjoyed this teaching. It was clear and on subject matter without going off course. Bishop Bernard has truly a great gift from God in teaching His Word. I was blessed !!! Thank you
My pastor told me to stop sin with the help of holy spirit. after that I did big sin disobey commendment 2 .then i lost my job, life, health affected. NOW punishment came in my life according to numbers 5:21 my whole body,legs, hands fingers affected even can't do anything with my hands. My carrier also affected Because of hand problem. Pastor spoke with me more than 5 times,How can i overcome this? Can god forgive my disobedience and sins.
Thank You!...... There's an old saying....... "Damned if you do, damned if you don't".... A true statement of our works alone. We (as finite carnal creatures) can never produce anything holy or eternal or infinite on our own. It's God's grace that makes anything and everything possible. Grace is God's permission for us to continue our existence in spite of inadequate or wrong behavior. It seems God fell in love with his finite carnal creation. Perhaps God's love automatically started producing grace. Why? Because God wants/needs/desires us to exist with him. His love is so strong, it finds a way to accomplish this. Even when it means self-sacrifice from God himself. It's no wonder Martin Luthor 'went off on a wild tangent' to focus exclusively on grace when he began to comprehend it. It's this love and grace from God that produces our faith. Our faith then becomes the way we express our love to God. This faith causes us to do works according to God's will, rather than our own. So, (because of grace) whatever works we do according to God's will, remain eternal. The rest of the works (sinful or not) don't. God's love for us is proven/verified by his gift of grace. Our love for God is proven/verified by our faith, which causes good works according to his will.
WALTER Martin another smart wise man an expert on cults tried to warn on channel TBN that the prosperity gospel was messed up even in the 1980s on the air , but he got kicked off that channel for that and then after that things were flooded with false teachings like teachings of Copeland.
This is the scene when the people missed the rapture! They will make appeal to the court of Judgment seat of Jesus Christ. Many would say they never heard or knew the Gospel. But God had alread said, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh and then the End Time comes. Many will say, Lord prophesied in your name, healed many sicknesses and casted out demons in your name. But Jesus will say, go away you wicked people! These people would make their own personal excuses to avoid passing through the great tribulation.
Jesus Himself Speaks About Hell And How Not To Go There. In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus describes a rich man that lived lavishly and a poor beggar man named Lazarus. It came to pass that Lazarus died and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man died, was buried, then went to hell. 23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in TORMENT, saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented IN THIS FLAME. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received good things, and likewise Lazarus received evil things, but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that they which would pass from hence to you can not, neither can they pass to us, and would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray you therefore father, that you would send him to my father’s house. 28 For I have 5 brothers that he may testify unto them, lest also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” LOCATION OF HELL: Jesus said in Matthew 12:40, ”For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the HEART OF THE EARTH.” Paul said in Ephesians 4:9, ”Now that he ascended, was it but that he also DESCENDED into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH.” HELL IS A PLACE OF FIRE: Jesus said in Luke 16:24,”….Father Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue for I am TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME.” Jesus said in Matthew 13:42,”And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE, there shall be WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.” Jesus said in Matthew 25:41,”Then shall he also say to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, INTO EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels.” Jesus said in Revelation 20:15,”And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.” HELL IS A PLACE OF TORMENT: Jesus said in Luke 16:23,”And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in TORMENT….” 24 …..for I am TORMENTED in this flame.” Jesus said in Revelation 14:11,”And the smoke of their TORMENT ascended up FOR EVER AND EVER, and they have no rest day or night….” Jesus said in Mark 9:45-46,”And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off, it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED. 46 Where their WORM DIES NOT, and the fire is not quenched.” Note that it doesn’t say “THE Worm”, it says “THEIR WORM” dies not. Jesus said in Revelation 21:8,”But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, which is the second death.” Note that Brimstone is Sulfur and burns with a very strong odor of rotten eggs. The scriptures above prove when a person goes to hell they will constantly see hell, constantly smell hell, constantly feel the heat of hell, will constantly breath hell, will constantly hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth of others in hell, will constantly be aware of their own worms, they will have no rest day or night, there is no way out and it will continue for ever and ever, they can’t die because they are already dead. The following is how to not go there and it is a SIMPLE AND EASY thing to do: All of the book of Acts is what Jesus disciples said what we must to be SAVED - meaning not go to hell, which is repentance, water baptism in Jesus NAME, (NOT the titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) and being baptized with the Holy Ghost. Jesus said in Mark 16:16,"He that believes and is BAPTIZED shall be SAVED, but he that believes not shall be damned." At about that same time He said in Matthew 28:19,"Go therefore and teach all nations BAPTIZING them in the name (SINGULAR name and not name's) OF the Father, and OF the Son, and OF the Holy Ghost." Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are titles and not names. Jesus disciples never used those words when they baptized anyone in water, nor did they use those words in one sentence regarding any other topic. Every time they invoked Jesus NAME at baptism which is Acts 2:38, Acts 8:14-18, Acts 8:38, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:33, Acts 18:7, Acts 18:8, Acts 19:3-5, and Acts 22:16 (Paul's baptism). Jesus said in John 3:3-7,"Verily, verily I say unto you, Except a man BE BORN AGAIN, he can not see the kingdom of God. 5 Verily, verily I say unto, Except a man be born of water AND of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 7 Marvel not that I say unto you, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN." Being born of water is being baptized in water which is for the REMISSION OF SINS - meaning the INITIAL remission of sins and not the confessing of sins later addressed in 1 John 1:9. Being born of the Spirit is being baptized with the Holy Ghost. What being baptized with the Holy Ghost means is addressed in Mark 16:17 (Jesus speaking), Acts 2:3-4, (Pentecost), Acts 8:17, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, and Acts 19:3-5 - which is when the Spirit of Christ initially dwells in a person. Nowhere in Scripture does it say it happens any other way than that way. There is not one Scripture that says a person receives the Holy Ghost just because they are a believer. Acts 19:1-5 is a good example. Paul said in Romans 8:9-11,”But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, HE IS NONE OF HIS." Numbers 23:19, ”God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man, that he should repent, has he said and shall he not do it? And shall he not make it good?” Malachi 3:6,”For I am the Lord, I change not...” Hebrews 13:8,”Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” That means there is no reason to think that Jesus will make an exception and save someone that has not been baptized in water in Jesus NAME, and has not been baptized with the Holy Ghost. Some say the thief on the cross next to Jesus was not baptized yet Jesus told him he would be in paradise with him that day. Jesus had not given the COMMANDMENT to be baptized in HIS NAME until after he had risen from the dead and before he ascended into heaven. The thief on the cross could not have been baptized because he did not know about it. If you do what Jesus said above in Mark 16:16, Matthew 28:19, and John 3:3-7, you will be making SURE your name is Written In Lamb's Book Of Life. If you are convinced you need to get baptized in water in Jesus Name do a search and type in "United Pentecostal Church International", scroll down to just below the red box, type in your zip code, a screen will show a Church near you that will do that. Jesus said John 10:27, ”My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
I feel.he missed quiet a bit on judgement seat of Christ ..it's not explained . Then he missed out on sin being forgiven....I'm unsatisfied on his teaching of today
God does not judge us after our physical death. He judges us when we are still physically alive. Luke 23:43 is absolute proof. The man on the cross next to Jesus was judged while still alive and told by Jesus that he would be with Him in paradise that day. THAT DAY. The only judgement we face is whether or not we are called to Jesus by God (John 6:44). Being called by God to Jesus is where we are given the Holy Spirit (born again of John 3). Once you are given the Spirit you are in the Kingdom forever, no further judgement. It is that simple.
You guys fool those in thinking the upc church teaches accurate essential truths like what the word trinity means biblically 3 Persons in ONE . Your core teaching Is called Oneness Theology those of you of the United Pentecostal church . Your members in my area dog other Christians not in it that they are living wrong since I had one guy following me around town like some shadow . He'd quote scripture applying it wrong in timing and intensity ( being in my face and rude when I'm saved only thru Christ alone period ..is not nice ) . But you might just want to rebuild the one upc in my town 100 plus miles away that will work for me actually not bad an idea ..
The judgment of believers in the church and as a church group is found in the seals of Revelation. Those seals are our judgment and words to repent also. We're not going to taken into heaven and then judged.

LOCATION OF HELL: Jesus said in Matthew 12:40, ”For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the HEART OF THE EARTH.” Paul said in Ephesians 4:9, ”Now that he ascended, was it but that he also DESCENDED into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH.”
HELL IS A PLACE OF FIRE: Jesus said in Luke 16:24,”….Father Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue for I am TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME.”

Jesus said in Revelation 20:15,”And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.”
HELL IS A PLACE OF TORMENT: Jesus said in Luke 16:23,”And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in TORMENT….” 24 …..for I am TORMENTED in this flame.” Jesus said in Revelation 14:11,”And the smoke of their TORMENT ascended up FOR EVER AND EVER, and they have no rest day or night….” Jesus said in Mark 9:45-46,”And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off, it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED. 46 Where their WORM DIES NOT, and the fire is not quenched.” Note that it doesn’t say “THE Worm”, it says “THEIR WORM” dies not.

What will happen in a city of a million souls with no upc church during the rapture?
W are our sins going to condemn us if we are saved by faith like u said Mr bernard??
I feel.he missed quiet a bit on judgement seat of Christ ..it's not explained . Then he missed out on sin being forgiven....I'm unsatisfied on his teaching of today
Our Motives will be Judged?
God does not judge us after our physical death. He judges us when we are still physically alive. Luke 23:43 is absolute proof.
