So true. It seems once someone adheres to a doctrine, they have to interpret the rest of scripture in a way that fits the template. They cannot contradict once saved always saved, or calvinism or what ever. My journey began April 2023. I've almost completed my first read of the Bible. I've been trying to use youtube to help me understand, I've seen your videos before and you seem to be saying what scripture says. But for some reason you don't come up often in the feed. I'm going to make a point following your channel more closely. I'm glad the Lord help me rediscover your teaching and guidance
Thank YOU David! I have come to believe this too. Thank you for being brave enough to teach this. Catholics and Orthodox also teach this, at least one thing they get right. It goes against our Protestant mantra "faith alone" but so does the Bible. Blessings!
Amen! When I got sick I knew that I needed to repent or I was going to hell. God put that fear on my heart but I know what you are saying is true because Jesus said repent first when he started teaching on earth. So that is the true gospel and after we repent we must strive to keep God's commandments to have eternal life just like Jesus told the young ruler. The gift of God is his son's sacrifice so that he can be our Lord and now we obey him. No obedience, no salvation. God bless you brother!
Repentance doesn't mean turning at all; it means to change your mind. I've changed my mind about sin, but I find myself falling back to certain sins. It's seems to be a life long struggle that I won't be able to escape until I'm free from this body of death. I came to Jesus. I received Jesus. I believed in Jesus. I trust in Jesus. I called upon Jesus. I confessed with my mouth the Lord Jesus, and believed in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I came to the Lord by faith. I chose that day whom I would serve. And I changed my mind about sin. Where is the line that I can finally cross to be about to say that I'm saved? I preach, I teach the Word, I witness to others, and I serve God the best I can. Am I just a tear and not a wheat? Am I one of the people Jesus will say He never knew? I still have sin in my life; habitual sins. It's not as though I have a super long list of sins that I go through and check one off each day. I'm a creature of habit, so of course I have certain sins that so easily besets me and I return to. So turning from my sin is one thing, if coming back to my sin doesn't mean I was never saved to begin with. However, everywhere I've looked for the meaning of repentance, it always says, "to change one's mind". I have certainly changed my mind about sin, but my body keeps dragging me back to some of them. So if the meaning really is to turn, then I'm going to burn.
Those who endure to the end shall be saved. I know what you mean, and everyone struggles. I get so confused when I listen to all the crap out there. One thing I do know, that sin is a transgression of the law.(10 commandments) not what everyone thinks sin is. Jesus told a follower who asked what shall a man do to be saved? Jesus said to keep the law(10 commandments).do this and live. Now, if you want perfection( born again), pick up your cross, deny yourself, come follow ME.
@@walkaway559 This is a response to you after your comment to samuelharris. The church is run by a lot of women who think everything is is sin. Smoking cigarettes is not sin, if it were, then there many who over stuff their faces, and that should be considered a sin. Habitual sins are like maybe using foul language to watching porn. We are in the process of being regenerated, but no one has arrived yet. I believe if you endure to the end and keep the faith, then you can consider yourself born again. Keeping the 10 commandments is our launching point, like learning Phonics is the starting point to learn to read.We need time to grow in Jesus. Obeying your conscience and taking time on a daily basis to hear God's WORD( not necessarily the Bible, but the voice of GOD). Hang in there samuelharris, you're on your way!!!
All anyone can really say is " I don't know and neither does anyone else" What I do know is that the human race is as lost as a ball in tall grass and we desperately need a Savior to save our sorry hides!!!! Thank Jehovah for HIS SON JESUS.
After 32 years I discovered it’s still a daily battle to overcome - some days we win some we lose - that’s reality - those who have written books on dying to self have fallen into some BIG sins - God knows
I don't think there is any greater schism in the modern church. Strangely, the positions don't seem to clearly track along protestant denominational lines. I just don't know how people get around 1 John:3, its as clear as the nose on our face. 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's[b] seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Dear brother, thank you very much vor the truthful messages.I'm glad you believe all the bible not parts of it. Then I have a question; what's about the Sabbath ? Jesus wrote it with his finger and it is one Low with 10 points and James writs if you break one you are guilty of all. God bless you. Happy Sabbat.
That is true, there are so many Christians out there, and a lot of you tubers say once saved always saved, no it is a narrow way, the fight will be every day. The only problem I see is when people have been Christians and walk for 10-40 years and are still a baby and don't grow in the Word of God for them it will be very easy to fall way.
Absolutely yes, I agree, David. Another way of describing the watered down gospel of truth is "seeker friendly," which I view as a component of liberal Christianity (and actually "liberal Christianity" is a contradiction in terms). Some so called believers identify as liberal Christians, and thus fail to see how ridiculous this is to real Christians. Such people FIRST accept all the dominant, modern, social twisted beliefs, THEN simply add Jesus (with all the associated blessings and promises). It really is true that the carnal man/mind cannot perceive the things of the Spirit, a principle I find helpful in witnessing this in the unsaved--they have no clue about spiritual things. I want to add this, David: I believe that, not only does salvation and a sanctified life require repentance, obedience, et cetera, you should expect that God will take you through many trials in order to conform you to the image of Christ--it's not an easy peezy life.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
How does God help us after we repent? I hear you said the Spirit of God will help us, but how? How, I don't feel His power. I believe, but don't feel any help.
First, I encourage you to always look to the Scriptures first; God speaks through His Word, and it is alive (John 1:1-3, Hebrews 4:11). Have you placed your faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior and been born again? This is different than merely “believing” in Him (James 2:19). When you fully surrender to Jesus, repenting of your sins (Luke 24:45-47) and trust Him to save your soul from eternal torment in Hell, you will be born again (John 3:3, 6-8) where He will grants you a new heart and new desires (2 Corinthians 5:17). Jesus will also give you the gift of the Holy Spirit who lives inside you (Acts 2:38, John 16:5-15). He will grant you wisdom (Isaiah 11:2); help you pray (Romans 8:26); create in you a desire to share the Gospel with others (Micah 3:8-10, Acts 1:8) and grant you the power to resist the temptation to sin; give you hope and joy, regardless of what’s happening in your life. Don’t put confidence in the flesh (how you feel), but cling to His promises in Scripture. The battle is spiritual and goes on in our minds, so ask the Holy Spirit for help to control your thoughts (see 2 Corinthians 10:3-5) Hope this helps ✝️
are you confusing works with obedience? Is mortifying or crucifying the fleshly desires considered works or obedience? I have always thought these were two separate commands of Yahavah.
Do you believe that works is one thing? What about works of the law, good works of obedience to Christ, and evil works? Are not good works of obedience to Christ also faith in action? Is faith just intellectual ascent alone, or also trust in action, faithfulness in action? Blessings!
@@IanGrantSpong I see your point. I just always understood that works were Christian acts of kindness towards others whereas obedience was walking in the spirit not yielding to sinful desires. If walking in the spirit and not yielding to sinful flesh is works, then being saved by grace through faith, not of works is pointless in doing. Straighten me out please.
I'm curious how you feel about those who say that those who are saved WILL change their behavior to be obedient to Christ out of love for him and what he did, and that a lack of change displays a probable lack of salvation? This seems inherently different from those that say "you say the prayer and you're good to go no matter what happens in your life or heart". To me it seems like more of a semantic difference, where the end point of how it's lived out is the same regardless of which tact you approach it from. If you're not living out your faith in obedience, you need to evaluate your position in Christ regardless of which of these two views you take. I see both views as having an inherent danger, one leading to potential hyper grace where someone believes they can behave in any manner they want, but the other leading to a works based mentality where the person feels they are working their way into heaven.
We work because we have been saved not to gain salvation. The Holy Spirit is our seal that we belong to Christ for eternity. God disciplines those who belong to Him. Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…" Hebrews 12:8 "If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons." Believers do not live a lifestyle of sin but we can fall into sin if we quench the Holy Spirit. The important word here is "practice", we do not live a lifestyle of rebellion.
repentance >>>>>changing mind therefore heart❤ towards loving GOD and serving the holy ..Spirit ....in the bible the only example of GOD changing HIS mind is ....>>>>Exodus 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people
