Yankee, I believed faith alone in Christ alone but realized so much of my confusion, doubts etc were when I realized that false doctrine crept in mainly unaware. When I started understanding that Calvinistic teachings were infiltrating many of the Baptist churches I attended over the years, then looking into actual biblical truths AND finding your channel, the good Lord has cleaned out the incorrect thinking that I had picked up over the years. I hope you understand how precious you are and how God has used you to help those like me. Thank you for speaking the awesome truth of the plain, simple gospel of our Savior.
Thank you God for using Yankee in these last minutes in this Church age .Preaching Grace through Faith in Christ Alone Alone Alone before the Pretrib Rapture of the Church.
That’s a pre WRATH rapture. Tribulation is what the earth has always endured. Look up the word tribulation in any dictionary or Strongs Concordance it has NOTHING to do with WRATH. “For God hath not appointed us to WRATH, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,” 1 Thessalonians 5:9 KJV You’ll not find anywhere in scripture that believers are not appointed to tribulation. It was MAN that coined the phrase “the tribulation” and added a false definition to it. You’d be wise to Unlearn it!!
Yes Dr. Yankee is very clear on the gospel. I was in pentecostal charismatic for 16+years. I wasn't sure if I was saved. Pentecostal charismatic (PC) believe in work-base salvation (every PC must speaking in tongue, must do this, must do that in order to be saved). I did everything I could but I didn't feel that I'm doing good enough, because I couldn't speaking in tongue as others. Praise the LORD, I found pastors who can explain the gospel. One of them is Dr A. Yankee, Dr. Andy Woods and pastor JD. Farag.

I'm not sure how much more CLEARLY Yankee could put the Gospel! How scary it is that some folks can weave works into Grace. If you hear Jesus and.... Jesus plus...... Jesus along with...... it's a false gospel as described in Galatians. Statements like, "If he/she was a Christian he/she would do or not do or be a certain way, etc", you can INSTANTLY know that the person has confused JUSTIFICATION with SANCTIFICATION. Keep preaching the TRUTH Yankee!
I stopped going to "church" a long time ago because false doctrines are cancerous and have spread to so many congregations. I'm thankful for your channel and that you preach the clear, true gospel of Jesus Christ. Please pray for me. I'm really struggling with some things in my life. Most of it is spiritual. I'm not well and I feel like I'm losing the battle. I have prayed about it but I still feel so worn down, afraid, and like giving up in life.
You’ve already won the battle! Once you trust in Christ you are an overcomer, you’re on the winning team! You need to start focusing on Christ and stop looking to yourself, satan can’t take your salvation, but he will try to take your joy and destroy your faith so you are less affective in ministry and sharing your faith. Remember who you are In Christ, because what Christ has achieved for you, you’re already a winner.
Thank you so much for your solid teaching, these days there are so many mixed up in false doctrine. The enemy has brought bondage over the minds of Christians to keep them in fear of their salvation. Blessings to you, I have enjoyed listening to your channel.
Best pastor for preaching the Bible god bless and I pray for good health Mr Arnold you showed me how to love god again and do his will after following my own path
Amen, Brother. It actually breaks my heart and makes me cry when people add to the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!!!!!! Eph 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Faith alone in Christ alone, Hallelujah !!!! I Cor 15:3-4. "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" Praise the Lord!!!!!
Dear Ralph Yankee Arnold, Thank you for your preaching of the true gospel of salvation. Eternal Security = OSAS I've noticed on other channels the wolves creeping in and putting fear in the bride of christ by teaching that salvation can be lost. If I may, I will post here an encouragement to the bride of Christ. God bless you and keep contending for the true salvation that comes by faith alone and not of works. The reason for this comment is for an encouragement to all who are living in doubt of their eternal salvation. Rom 4:5 “But to him that (WORKETH NOT), but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Works of abiding faithfulness can never save a person, only faith in Jesus's finished work can. Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, & not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” Eternal salvation or being worthy of the rapture for example is not based upon anything we do or don't do after the salvation event has occurred or by doing self righteous works of filthy rag obedience which would lead to boasting & there will be none of that in heaven. It is based upon if at some point in our lives we believed that what Jesus did on the cross to pay for our sin, in HIS own infinitely and powerful blood, was done on our behalf, according to the scriptures. I'm so tired of people scaring members of the bride by telling them “you're going to lose your salvation or miss the rapture if your not ready or watching or doing works or haven’t got baptized in water, or got the jab, or haven’t tithed enough or given to the poor, or only read the KJV bible, blah blah blah & on & on & on.” A total lie from a prideful self righteous pharisaical spirit or just plain ignorance of what eternal salvation means. The eternal Holy Spiritual side of our new birth is even now seated in the heavenly realm and can never be judged for sin again and we can never be taken out of Jesus's hands because of some sin that we may commit after being saved. EPH 2:6 and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, The faith + works false converts imply that sins I commit in the future will somehow surprise Jesus which is a deception. ALL our sins were yet future when Jesus died for them 2000 years ago. As I’ve said, there’s no secret sin. Jesus has seen them all & forgiven them all. We are now totally blameless & totally worthy, spiritually speaking, of the rapture wether we realize it or not. Eternal salvation is an event, not a process. Works: If you have to earn salvation, who would get the credit, you would (PRIDE). Grace: If salvation were free, who would get the credit, Jesus would. I give Jesus all the credit. Jesus was tested on my behalf. I am eternally saved because Jesus gave me his righteousness. I am pleasing to Jesus because I believe in who he is & what he did for me on the cross in his own blood. We are eternally secure in Jesus. Nothing, NO-THING, can ever take us out of Jesus's hand once we are born again. People forget that all of the bible is for the church but not all the bible is about the mystery church. We must rightly divide the bible & take all the books of the bible in context along with comparing scripture with scripture otherwise doctrine gets all screwed up. We can not apply pre cross or post rapture salvation doctrine to the mystery church which wasn’t revealed until after the cross by Paul who was given our doctrine of salvation for today by the resurrected Jesus himself on the road to Damascus. This side of death or the rapture we can never be sinless & if you think you can be, you are only fooling yourself because we currently live in this fallen meat machine we call our body of flesh that was sown in corruption & we eagerly await the day this corruption will take on incorruption at the rapture. You see, we now have two natures living within us. The flesh & the spirit & both are fighting for pole position. In this fallen flesh we will always be subject to the temptations of sin but the spirit which is of God that permanently lives within us can never sin & is even now seated in the heavenly realm. This is the born again part of us that will never and can never be ripped out of heaven because we may sin in the flesh back down on Earth. Will never happen. Those that are found faithful after the eternal salvation EVENT has happened he will bless with crowns & rewards but those who are found unfaithful after the everlasting salvation event has happened will lose crowns & rewards for unfaithful service at the Bema seat of Christ but saved none the less. 1 Corinthians 3:15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as fire. 1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. All christians, even the unfaithful ones (this is a very hard pill for the faith + works false converts to swallow because of their self righteous fruit inspecting pride), will not miss out on the rapture. The only thing that is conditional for a born again eternally saved believer is crowns & rewards for the type of quality of faithfulness that we lived in the flesh, never for eternal salvation of the soul. So yes, now that you are eternally saved we should do good works. But don't do them thinking that by doing them you are keeping or maintaining salvation because that can never be lost. Do good works not to remain saved but because you are saved. Evidence required by the fruit inspecting legalists or being faithful to the end will not save a single soul. We ARE saved only if we at some point in our life believed & trusted only in Jesus's finished work on the cross on our behalf, according to the scriptures. That’s what saves. We no longer have any sin to be judged for because Jesus became sin for us. Our sin debt has been paid in full & if it’s been paid in full we no longer have any sins to be held against us. We live a faithful life not to remain saved but because we ARE saved. So after the eternal salvation event has happened then live it. But don't live it because you are trying to keep it, because it can never be lost. You are either saved or you're not. There is no middle ground. Eternal salvation is not based upon a merit system. Crowns & rewards are, but not salvation. There is no: yes you are saved, BUT. There are no &'s, If's or But's added to salvation. It was finished 2000 years ago when Jesus cried out "IT IS FINISHED." Let’s dissect what repentance is shall we. There are two kinds of repentance. One is known as METAMELOMAI. The verb metamelomai is used of a change of mind, such as to produce regret or even remorse on account of sin, but not necessarily a change of heart. Where as METANOIA met·a·noi·a /ˌmedəˈnoiə/ noun 1. change in one's way of life resulting from penitence or SPIRITUAL CONVERSION: This is the kind of repentance that saves eternally. To change ones mind from once not believing that Jesus paid for all my sins in full to that of believing that Jesus paid for all my sins in full. Metanoia is what saves a person where as Metamelomai is what convicts a person with guilt & remorse when they sin after the salvation event has happened. If there is no sense of guilt or remorse after being born again then I question wether or not that person truly was born again. Before I was born again & had not the spirit living permanently within me I could care less about sinning & had no sense of remorse or guilt. Now that I’m born again I do. So in summary, yes, the moment we were born again we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, as a guarantee, until the day of redemption. For Jesus is the author & finisher of our faith, not the other way around. He will finish what he started in us, & when Jesus starts something nothing in all creation can stop him from finishing it, not even ourselves. Some have even forgotten they were saved but Jesus never will. John 14:26 But the [a]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, & bring to your “REMEMBRANCE” all things that I said to you. Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore “REMEMBER” that you, once Gentiles in the flesh-who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands- 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel & strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope & without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. All Jesus wants us to do is to believe that he did it all for us. Simple faith like that of a child. I hope & pray this will encourage you. God bless. Jesus is my rock upon which I stand, my firm foundation. Maranatha! WFS
Thank you, Pastor Arnold. Excellent message. I may plagiarize you a little bit in the messages I give at the county jail this Monday night. 🙂 God bless you.
Thanks Yankee Your message has led me to the correct doctrine And I am challenging the legalist: Todays Salvation assurance verse ( OSAS) : Legalist argues that a gifts can be returned to the giver is totally flawed argument because : If the gift of eternal life are symbolic to bread (john 6:58) and water (john 7:38 & John 4:14) and if a person eats and drink it how then that person can give it back ? As that person has already consumed it : It has become a part of his body There is no way he can give back the gift which has become one with his body. That is why in John Jesus says I abide in him and the believer abide in him and they have become one with Jesus So one cannot give it back and neither God take it back the gift of salvation Romans 11:29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable But this only apply to OSAS believers and not unbelievers Those who believe salvation can be lost are not believers OSAS stands
in the real world if you are going to weld a pipe you have specific weld rods and they have specific numbers...anything other than whats designated is unacceptable and invalid.......in the world when doing engineering calculations you have a specific formula to figure out the laws of thermodynamics and anything other than whats required is unacceptable and invalid......so with that why can t people see that when it concerns salvation they have been given a specific formula and its faith alone in christ alone yet so many preachers always wanna add something thats not even in the bible and then they want God to accept that as valid.....
Psalm 138:6: Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: But the proud he knoweth afar off. Proverbs 3:34: Surely he scorneth the scorners: But he giveth grace unto the lowly. Proverbs 11:2: When pride cometh, then cometh shame: But with the lowly is wisdom. Proverbs 15:33: The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; And before honour is humility. Proverbs 16:18-19: Pride goeth before destruction, And an haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud. Proverbs 17:19: He loveth transgression that loveth strife: And he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. Proverbs 18:12: Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, And before honour is humility. Proverbs 29:23: A man’s pride shall bring him low: But honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Matthew 20:26-28: But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Matthew 23:11-12: But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Mark 9:35: And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. Mark 10:43-45: But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Luke 14:10-11: But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Luke 18:13-14: And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Luke 22:26-27: But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. James 4:6: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 1 Peter 5:5-6: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
@@salvationzone9532 I mean did you read all the scripture I share I was just tying all those passages together to what Jesus himself taught. So no it doesn’t relate to what Ralph is speaking on in this exact sermon, which I totally agree with what he’s saying. But how could you say that what I’m sharing doesn’t relate to the church, this is what Jesus Christ, the head of the church taught. Faith in God, and humility and lowliness.
@UCz0GyjupB7YRjJhMF76zk3w Oh I see. Maybe make it clear to those who read though, that even though we "should" do this or that, ( discipleship ) that by doing so doesn't mean you're keeping your place in the salvation line as it were. That was settled the moment we were born again. For Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, not the other way around. What Jesus started in us can never be undone, not even by ourselves and the poor choices we make after being born again. The moment we were born again we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, as a guarantee, until the day of redemption. We can't earn more salvation by doing works. Salvation is never based upon the merit system lest Christ's sacrifice was in vain. It was given fully and completely the moment we were saved. Every one of those verses you posted were not addressed directly to the church. All those scriptures are either pre cross or post rapture doctrines and were not addressed to the mystery church. We the church get our salvation doctrine from Paul, who was given it directly from the resurrected Jesus himself on the road to Damascus after the cross up until the rapture. After the rapture salvation reverts back to the way it was before the cross which was and will be a salvation of faith + works. During the Time of Jacobs Trouble, not the churches trouble all that one will NEED to do to remain saved is to believe in Jesus and to endure the horrors of that time by enduring being tortured, starved, raped, beaten, eaten & then as a crowning touch, willingly shedding their own blood by having their heads cut off. Blessed hope? I think NOT! Too bad they couldn't have just trusted in Jesus's blood being shed for them. Following Paul's gospel is what is called rightly dividing the bible. Remember, all of the bible is for the church, but not all the bible is about the church. It can be very confusing to a newly born again christian if they read the intent of what you posted when they try applying pre cross or post rapture doctrines to that of them selves and the church. So many churches now a days are using the scriptures you posted to push a faith + works false gospel for the church and we know what Paul said about that. He said they are to be accursed. To get a better understanding of what true salvation is then maybe read my other Dear Ralph letter I just posted here a few comments down. God bless.
The Plymouth Brethren? Yikes. That lot spawned the likes of Aleister Crowley. It's becoming more and more rare to hear the gospel preached. Treacherous times. Try not to lose heart my brothers and sisters. I hope these are the end times because if it's going to get worse than this? Thank God for people who share the gospel. It's staggering when you realize just how many professing Christians struggle with the cross and what our precious Lord did for us.
I want to have assurance of salvation so bad it causes me to lose sleep every night due to anxiety. Why am I still sinning when I know what is right? I am the biggest hypocrite!
I would HIGHLY recommend a book by Watchmen Nee called, the Normal Christian Life. I cannot tell you how many times I have been through that book in 20 years.
Can anyone explain the film ‘the chosen’-does it not support Calvinism? Thank you Also was not Abraham chosen? I ask in all humility, I am a babe-in that I’ve been on milk for a very long time, and now things have come into my world, amongst which all the differing ‘doctrines’ and interpretations. It seems as though there are verses to support both theories of being chosen and it being mans choice and will. Appreciate any input.
We Are Saved Because Jesus Died Not Because We're "Christians" Or Not!!! Jesus Died For The Sins Of The Whole World Not Just The "Christians" If You Believe In Jesus Or Not Doesn't Change The Facts That He Died For Your Sins!!! Salvation Is Not A Invitation, It Is A Declaration!!! Behold The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World!!! It Is Finished!!! Ps. Johnny's Back!!! 😂
Yankee, I believed faith alone in Christ alone but realized so much of my confusion, doubts etc were when I realized that false doctrine crept in mainly unaware. When I started understanding that Calvinistic teachings were infiltrating many of the Baptist churches I attended over the years, then looking into actual biblical truths AND finding your channel, the good Lord has cleaned out the incorrect thinking that I had picked up over the years.

Eternal Security = OSAS
I've noticed on other channels the wolves creeping in and putting fear in the bride of christ by teaching that salvation can be lost. If I may, I will post here an encouragement to the bride of Christ. God bless you and keep contending for the true salvation that comes by faith alone and not of works.

Those that are found faithful after the eternal salvation EVENT has happened he will bless with crowns & rewards but those who are found unfaithful after the everlasting salvation event has happened will lose crowns & rewards for unfaithful service at the Bema seat of Christ but saved none the less.
1 Corinthians 3:15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as fire.
1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
All christians, even the unfaithful ones (this is a very hard pill for the faith + works false converts to swallow because of their self righteous fruit inspecting pride), will not miss out on the rapture. The only thing that is conditional for a born again eternally saved believer is crowns & rewards for the type of quality of faithfulness that we lived in the flesh, never for eternal salvation of the soul.
So yes, now that you are eternally saved we should do good works. But don't do them thinking that by doing them you are keeping or maintaining salvation because that can never be lost. Do good works not to remain saved but because you are saved.
Evidence required by the fruit inspecting legalists or being faithful to the end will not save a single soul. We ARE saved only if we at some point in our life believed & trusted only in Jesus's finished work on the cross on our behalf, according to the scriptures. That’s what saves. We no longer have any sin to be judged for because Jesus became sin for us. Our sin debt has been paid in full & if it’s been paid in full we no longer have any sins to be held against us. We live a faithful life not to remain saved but because we ARE saved. So after the eternal salvation event has happened then live it. But don't live it because you are trying to keep it, because it can never be lost. You are either saved or you're not. There is no middle ground. Eternal salvation is not based upon a merit system. Crowns & rewards are, but not salvation. There is no: yes you are saved, BUT. There are no &'s, If's or But's added to salvation. It was finished 2000 years ago when Jesus cried out "IT IS FINISHED."
Let’s dissect what repentance is shall we. There are two kinds of repentance. One is known as METAMELOMAI. The verb metamelomai is used of a change of mind, such as to produce regret or even remorse on account of sin, but not necessarily a change of heart. Where as METANOIA met·a·noi·a /ˌmedəˈnoiə/ noun 1. change in one's way of life resulting from penitence or SPIRITUAL CONVERSION: This is the kind of repentance that saves eternally. To change ones mind from once not believing that Jesus paid for all my sins in full to that of believing that Jesus paid for all my sins in full. Metanoia is what saves a person where as Metamelomai is what convicts a person with guilt & remorse when they sin after the salvation event has happened. If there is no sense of guilt or remorse after being born again then I question wether or not that person truly was born again. Before I was born again & had not the spirit living permanently within me I could care less about sinning & had no sense of remorse or guilt. Now that I’m born again I do.
So in summary, yes, the moment we were born again we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, as a guarantee, until the day of redemption. For Jesus is the author & finisher of our faith, not the other way around. He will finish what he started in us, & when Jesus starts something nothing in all creation can stop him from finishing it, not even ourselves. Some have even forgotten they were saved but Jesus never will.
John 14:26 But the [a]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, & bring to your “REMEMBRANCE” all things that I said to you.
Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore “REMEMBER” that you, once Gentiles in the flesh-who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands- 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel & strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope & without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
All Jesus wants us to do is to believe that he did it all for us. Simple faith like that of a child. I hope & pray this will encourage you. God bless.
Jesus is my rock upon which I stand, my firm foundation. Maranatha! WFS
Amen!
Amen! You are absolutely correct
Amen. This is how I understand it. You put it so beautiful and powerful. Thank you, God bless you.
Talk about the wide road of destruction, that letter is a perfect example
Greatest preacher of all time great heavenly humor awesome
Thank you, Pastor Arnold. Excellent message. I may plagiarize you a little bit in the messages I give at the county jail this Monday night. 🙂 God bless you.
Go for it. Let me know how it goes Yankee

@@EdwinDekker71 Gospel in a nutshell.
Feels like I'm listening to Paul Harvey.
Excellent!!!
Thanks Yankee
Your message has led me to the correct doctrine
And I am challenging the legalist:
Todays Salvation assurance verse ( OSAS) : Legalist argues that a gifts can be returned to the giver is totally flawed argument because :
If the gift of eternal life are symbolic to bread (john 6:58) and water (john 7:38 & John 4:14) and if a person eats and drink it how then that person can give it back ? As that person has already consumed it :
It has become a part of his body
There is no way he can give back the gift which has become one with his body.
That is why in John Jesus says I abide in him and the believer abide in him and they have become one with Jesus
So one cannot give it back and neither God take it back the gift of salvation
Romans 11:29
for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable
But this only apply to OSAS believers and not unbelievers
Those who believe salvation can be lost are not believers
OSAS stands
Thank you for sharing this insight that God has given you, it helped me. God Bless you!
Amen pastor
in the real world if you are going to weld a pipe you have specific weld rods and they have specific numbers...anything other than whats designated is unacceptable and invalid.......in the world when doing engineering calculations you have a specific formula to figure out the laws of thermodynamics and anything other than whats required is unacceptable and invalid......so with that why can t people see that when it concerns salvation they have been given a specific formula and its faith alone in christ alone yet so many preachers always wanna add something thats not even in the bible and then they want God to accept that as valid.....
Excellent assessment!

Just curious. What was the point of this comment of yours?
@@salvationzone9532 I just put together a small study, I thought it was good
@@CorbinByers But what does it have to do with the church and what Ralph is teaching.
@@salvationzone9532 I mean did you read all the scripture I share I was just tying all those passages together to what Jesus himself taught. So no it doesn’t relate to what Ralph is speaking on in this exact sermon, which I totally agree with what he’s saying. But how could you say that what I’m sharing doesn’t relate to the church, this is what Jesus Christ, the head of the church taught. Faith in God, and humility and lowliness.
@UCz0GyjupB7YRjJhMF76zk3w Oh I see. Maybe make it clear to those who read though, that even though we "should" do this or that, ( discipleship ) that by doing so doesn't mean you're keeping your place in the salvation line as it were. That was settled the moment we were born again. For Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, not the other way around. What Jesus started in us can never be undone, not even by ourselves and the poor choices we make after being born again. The moment we were born again we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, as a guarantee, until the day of redemption. We can't earn more salvation by doing works. Salvation is never based upon the merit system lest Christ's sacrifice was in vain. It was given fully and completely the moment we were saved. Every one of those verses you posted were not addressed directly to the church. All those scriptures are either pre cross or post rapture doctrines and were not addressed to the mystery church. We the church get our salvation doctrine from Paul, who was given it directly from the resurrected Jesus himself on the road to Damascus after the cross up until the rapture. After the rapture salvation reverts back to the way it was before the cross which was and will be a salvation of faith + works. During the Time of Jacobs Trouble, not the churches trouble all that one will NEED to do to remain saved is to believe in Jesus and to endure the horrors of that time by enduring being tortured, starved, raped, beaten, eaten & then as a crowning touch, willingly shedding their own blood by having their heads cut off. Blessed hope? I think NOT! Too bad they couldn't have just trusted in Jesus's blood being shed for them.
Following Paul's gospel is what is called rightly dividing the bible. Remember, all of the bible is for the church, but not all the bible is about the church. It can be very confusing to a newly born again christian if they read the intent of what you posted when they try applying pre cross or post rapture doctrines to that of them selves and the church. So many churches now a days are using the scriptures you posted to push a faith + works false gospel for the church and we know what Paul said about that. He said they are to be accursed. To get a better understanding of what true salvation is then maybe read my other Dear Ralph letter I just posted here a few comments down. God bless.
The Plymouth Brethren? Yikes. That lot spawned the likes of Aleister Crowley. It's becoming more and more rare to hear the gospel preached. Treacherous times. Try not to lose heart my brothers and sisters. I hope these are the end times because if it's going to get worse than this? Thank God for people who share the gospel. It's staggering when you realize just how many professing Christians struggle with the cross and what our precious Lord did for us.
I want to have assurance of salvation so bad it causes me to lose sleep every night due to anxiety. Why am I still sinning when I know what is right? I am the biggest hypocrite!
Because you’re still a sinner. All of us continue to sin everyday. A believer needs to confess their sins and trust in Jesus.
I would HIGHLY recommend a book by Watchmen Nee called, the Normal Christian Life. I cannot tell you how many times I have been through that book in 20 years.
@Noname-fl3bg
Are you doing better with your assurance of salvation since your post one-year ago? I hope you have found peace in Christ Jesus. ❤
Can anyone explain the film ‘the chosen’-does it not support Calvinism? Thank you
Also was not Abraham chosen?
I ask in all humility, I am a babe-in that I’ve been on milk for a very long time, and now things have come into my world, amongst which all the differing ‘doctrines’ and interpretations.
It seems as though there are verses to support both theories of being chosen and it being mans choice and will.
Appreciate any input.
The mans testimony being read clearly shows he does not know what the gospel is. He is affirming two irreconcilable opposing doctrines for salvation.
TH-cam preachers are the WORST
We Are Saved Because Jesus Died Not Because We're "Christians" Or Not!!!
Jesus Died For The Sins Of The Whole World Not Just The "Christians"
If You Believe In Jesus Or Not Doesn't Change The Facts That He Died For Your Sins!!!
Salvation Is Not A Invitation, It Is A Declaration!!!
Behold The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World!!!
It Is Finished!!!
Ps. Johnny's Back!!! 😂
That’s not correct. It is a decision each person must make for themselves. Read John 3:16 carefully.
